"Let my father take the initiative to ask the monarch to grant the title of Lord of Qingshan City?!"
Qi Huanzhi was stunned and looked at Ji Tianxing in astonishment.
“Brother Tianxing, isn’t this right?
According to the laws of the Kingdom of God, the appointment and dismissal of the city lord must be inspected and approved by the princess, and then reported to the king.
The monarch then decides on appointments and dismissals, and the edicts can only take effect after they are issued.
My father directly requested orders from the monarch through the imperial envoy. This is completely against the rules and is an overstep!"
Ji Tianxing looked at him with a half-smile but asked, "Then do you want your father to be the Lord of Qingshan City?"
Qi Huanzhi replied without hesitation: "Of course! Once my father becomes the city lord, the Qi family's thousand-year foundation will be as stable as a sacred mountain.
Not only will the Qi family's status improve, but their power will also grow rapidly.
Even the Ning family in Tianxue County will look at us with a high regard.
And the identity gap between me, the young city lord, and Ning Siyuan is not that big..."
When he said this, Qi Huanzhi suddenly realized that he had inadvertently spoken what was in his heart and quickly shut up.
Ji Tianxing asked again: "You really want your father to be the city lord. Not only will your status be stable, but there will also be various benefits.
But do you think Princess Tianfeng will recommend your father to be the city lord?"
Qi Huanzhi quickly shook his head and sneered: "Don't mention recommending my father to be the city lord, even if my father goes to ask him, he will refuse.
He may even be thinking about how to eradicate our Qi family!"
Ji Tianxing nodded and said with a smile: "Since you know this, why don't you let your father take the initiative to fight for it?
Even if your father did this and went beyond the rules, so what?
Your father has just been awarded the title of Viscount, and the monarch will not punish him even though he thinks of his merits.
What's more, wealth can be found in danger!"
Ji Tian’s deeds and words are all here.
If Qi Huanzhi and Qi Tianlong don't have the courage, then there is nothing he can do.
If we really miss this opportunity, we can only blame the Qi family for not working hard and not having a successful career.
Qi Huanzhi hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly and said: "Okay, I will send a message to my father now!"
He also did not shy away from Ji Tianxing and Bai Long. He took out the summons slip on the spot and sent a summons to Qi Tianlong.
…
In the past two days, Qi Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights and was full of joy.
The head of the family was granted the title of Viscount by the monarch, and the whole Qi family was in unparalleled glory.
In addition, the imperial envoy arrived and was a guest in Qi Mansion.
Everyone in the family is very proud, as if they are superior to others and have become the most noble family in Qingshan City.
The guards and servants became more and more cautious and respectful, not daring to make any mistakes.
It was evening at this time and the sun was about to set.
Qi Tianlong is handling matters in the study.
The butler walked briskly to the door, bowed and reported: "To inform the master of the house, the dinner has been prepared and will start later.
Do you think we should go and invite the Imperial Envoy now?"
Early tomorrow morning, the imperial envoys and eunuchs will leave Qingshan City and return to the royal capital to resume their duties.
Tonight's banquet can be regarded as a practice for the imperial envoy, and it is very grand.
Qi Tianlong put down what he was doing, nodded slightly and said, "Okay, you go and ask the Imperial Envoy for instructions now, I will be here soon."
The steward said he obeyed, turned around and left.
Qi Tianlong was going to change into a luxurious dress and go to the dinner party.
But at this moment, a spiritual light flew from the sky and landed in front of him.
The spiritual light dissipated, revealing a jade message slip.
Qi Tianlong was startled for a moment, then stretched out his hand to hold the jade slip and read the contents inside with his spiritual consciousness.
After a while, after reading the content of the encounter, his expression changed on the spot.
His eyes widened slightly, showing a look of shock and disbelief.
"When did this little brat become so bold?"
Qi Tianlong simply couldn't believe that those shocking words in the jade slips came from his son Qi Huanzhi.
In his mind, Qi Huanzhi had always been idle and idle.
Even in the past month, Qi Huanzhi has obviously grown a lot as he worshiped with Tianxing.
However, Qi Tianlong found it hard to believe that Qi Huanzhi had such courage and put forward such an amazing suggestion.
After a brief shock, Qi Tianlong crushed the jade slip in his hand and fell into silence and hesitation.
He could probably guess that Qi Huanzhi's suggestion probably meant offering sacrifices to Tianxing.
But this issue is no longer important.
What he is most confused about now is whether he should follow Qi Huanzhi's advice or not?
Take advantage of today's dinner to express your wishes to the imperial envoy in person and make a request to the monarch?
"If I made this request in person, I would probably be scolded by the imperial envoy.
If the news reaches the monarch, he may be angry and think that my newly promoted viscount is arrogant and does not understand the rules.
There is a 90% chance that the monarch will reject my request and leave a bad impression in his mind.
However, Qingshan City is already in a mess, but it is located in the northernmost part of the mainland, close to the Sunset Sea, which is very important.
Maybe... there is a 10% chance that the monarch will agree to my request?"
Qi Tianlong frowned and weighed silently.
If he had enough time, he would like to calm down and think carefully for two days before making a decision.
However, the butler has already gone to invite the imperial envoy, and the dinner will start soon.
The time left for him is only a hundred breaths at most.
He must make a decision!
After a long time, Qi Tianlong took a deep breath, gritted his teeth secretly, and made a decision.
He no longer wasted time changing his clothes, and after tidying up his appearance a little, he left the study and rushed to the living room where the dinner was held.
…
Night has fallen.
In the splendid living room, gem lamps are lit, the brilliance is gorgeous and soft.
There is a long dining table in the middle of the hall, which is filled with delicacies and fine wines.
The person sitting in the host and guest position is naturally the Imperial Envoy.
This is a middle-aged man wearing a gold robe with a python pattern.
He has a tall body, a resolute face, a noble and majestic demeanor, and his strength has reached the sixth level of the Divine King Realm.
This person's name is the Blood-Ink God Lord. He is the right commander of the Imperial City's Yulin Guards and has great authority.
Qi Tianlong got gossip from the Ning family and knew that this person was the third prince's confidant.
Next to the Blood Ink God, sat an old man with white hair and a fair complexion, and skin as clear as jade.
The old man has a thin body and looks frail, but his clothes are gorgeous, elegant and spotless.
He wore a jade crown on his head and held a square handkerchief in his hand. He covered his mouth and coughed twice from time to time, looking sickly.
But even so, no one dares to despise it.
Because this old eunuch is a popular person in front of the king, and he is also a high-ranking divine king in the seventh level.
Even the Blood-Ink God Lord still treats him with respect and respect.
In order to entertain the Blood Ink God and the old eunuch, the Qi family took great pains.
There were only five people on the huge dining table.
Apart from the imperial envoys and eunuchs, there were only the family head Qi Tianlong and two elders.
The three members of the Qi family all had apologetic smiles on their faces, and they frequently toasted to the imperial envoy and the old eunuch, flattering them without showing any signs of it.
After drinking for three rounds, the Blood-Ink God put down the wine cup.
The smile on his face faded, and he asked seemingly casually: "I heard that Lord Yuwen City was killed?"
Qi Tianlong's expression froze, and the hand holding the wine glass trembled.
