Monarch of Evernight: The first command of twenty-four
bsp;Qianye has rich experience in fighting vampires, but even when Ye Tong was unconscious that day, he was unable to discover her true identity. This should be the effect of this ability.
From this point of view, most of the golden blood in Qianye's body comes from Night Eye. As for the purple blood, judging from the fact that it can vaguely compete with the golden blood, it may be another high-ranking vampire with strong blood.
However, Night Eye's ability is too terrifying. If the descendants she develops can inherit similar abilities, then it won't be long before there will be countless vampires lurking in the human race, and people are still ignorant. The more extraordinary her abilities are, the more Qianye will be unable to let her go when they meet on the battlefield in the future.
The copper bell in the training room suddenly emitted a soft and sweet sound, as if it penetrated into the tide of the Force and became part of the waves crashing on the shore, awakening Qianye from his training very naturally.
The copper bell is made of a special metal called 'Fu Ming Bronze'. Its sound can be transmitted through the fluctuations of the Force, thus serving as a reminder without scaring the cultivator. This metal is only associated with silver-containing minerals, which shows its rarity. When I was in Huangquan, there was only one Buddha-ringing bronze bell in the entire cultivation valley, but here it was even equipped in the guest rooms.
But this is not the reminder time set by Qianye, that is, a visitor is coming. After changing his clothes, he walked out of the training room and saw Ji Yuanjia waiting in the living room.
"Captain Qian, let me convey the first mission assigned by Miss Qiqi. I will accompany her to attend the city lord's dinner party tomorrow night."
Qianye was slightly embarrassed when he heard what Ji Yuanjia called him.
The identity file the Yin family made for him actually used Qian as his surname and Ye as his name. His birthplace was a civilian family in a remote province in the southern border of the empire. When he was very young, he came to Yongzhou with the business group where his parents worked. Night Continent, ended up living in this abandoned land, and finally became a hunter. It's a perfect resume with a clean financial record and a perfect match for the main army's recruitment requirements.
Ji Yuanjia has become somewhat accustomed to Qianye's reticence and continued: "You will attend as her assistant and male companion. In order to ensure the success of the dinner, tomorrow's etiquette training will be a full day, so please do not arrange important ”
"Okay, I get it."
Ji Yuanjia smiled and suddenly said: "This mission is a good opportunity. If you seize it well, you may get extra huge gains. I really envy you!"
Qianye was startled and asked: "Extra gain?"
"This is a good opportunity, isn't it? Sometimes even though you know you are acting, no matter who it is, if you have been acting for a long time, you may get into it." Ji Yuanjia said pointedly. .
Qianye understood what he meant. He was actually encouraging Qianye to turn the lie into reality and try to win over Qiqi!
Qianye really doesn’t understand Ji Yuanjia’s intention of doing this. He has only known him for less than a day, and he should be Qiqi’s core subordinate, right?
Ji Yuanjia seemed to have guessed Qianye's thoughts and said with a smile: "I just don't want to see some people with ulterior motives using young ladies to achieve their goals. Well, you will understand in the future."
After Ji Yuanjia left, Qianye felt more and more strange the more he thought about it.
After meeting the famous Miss Qiqi, Qianye had already guessed that the so-called mission was to find a bright target so that he could deal with someone secretly. As for why she had to go through the hunter's house, it might be that she thought the person Yu Yingnan and the second master had found was reliable. After all, it sounds like the Yin family's heir examination has entered a critical stage. If the opponent's spies take the opportunity to lurk in, no matter how good the strategy is, it will fall short.
Qianye did not think that Qiqi and Ji Yuanjia had given such a heavy condition of commanding the 131st Independent Combat Company as a sign of trust in him. On the contrary, it was probably a test. But none of this affects Qianye's idea of completing the mission. His response is very simple. When there are instructions, he will follow the instructions. When there are no instructions, he will go to the battlefield, regardless of whether this company can really become his arm.
But what Ji Yuanjia said just now left Qianye completely confused. He originally thought that the person Qiqi was going to deal with was of course other candidates, but now it seemed that her fiancé was also on the list, right? Wealthy marriages are more about alliances of forces. Aren't they supposed to have the same interests? The aristocratic family is really incomprehensible.
Qianye spent the entire morning of the next day in intensive training on various etiquettes.
Only through personal study can one realize how cumbersome and strict the etiquette that the empire has formed over more than a thousand years is. This is because of lack of time. I only picked out the parts related to social banquets to quickly learn, starting from the standing posture, angles, and distances. There are specialties. Qianye could only be grateful that he had a good memory and could stand well in military posture before.
In the afternoon, it’s time for tailors, makeup artists and hairstylists. They started working overtime last night to make the dress, and now they have to make final adjustments based on the overall design.
The hairstylist is a thin man, nearly fifty, but his behavior is indescribably feminine. He wears a huge gold-green ring on his little finger, and holds a pair of silver scissors that are constantly opening and closing in his hand. His rather nervous appearance makes people worry about where to make the next cut.
At this moment, he was holding Qianye's black and semi-long hair, making a painful decision. "Should I cut my hair short to match Miss Qiqi's hair better, or should I keep my hair long so as to form a strong contrast with Miss Qiqi's short hair?"
The stylist struggled for a full forty minutes, and if he didn't make a decision, the others wouldn't be able to continue working. Hair style is a very important part, second only to clothing in importance. Starting from the strand of hair on the top of the head to the color of the shoelace on the feet, the overall design must be done. This is the exquisiteness that can reflect the heritage of a wealthy family. Otherwise, how can it be different from those noble families?
Qianye was almost numb after being manipulated, and he felt that such a group of people was here to torment him. Why hadn't he experienced this **** modeling principle from Wei Potian?
The styling master finally made up his mind, and after a period of frantic work, he finally settled on the last detail before the deadline: the angle of a brooch.
Qianye stood in front of the floor-length mirror, and his only feeling was that this dress was definitely not suitable for fighting. Although the main color of black and gold and the stand-up collar and epaulettes are very similar to the imperial military uniform, the too tight waist, narrow sleeves, and gem buttons that hit the wrists make him feel like a bird caught in a spider's web, which greatly affects his mobility.
Qianye moved his right shoulder a little uncomfortably, looking at the proud expression of the stylist in the mirror without saying a word. Clearly, mobility was not a concern for this master whose first priority was art and visual impact.
"It's time!" The maid's urging voice came from outside the door.
More than ten cars have been parked in the fan-shaped square, and the silver convertible in the middle is powered by black crystal! Qiqi sat inside and waved to Qianye. She didn't make any eye-catching decorations. She was still wearing an imperial military uniform, but she added many accessories that looked very valuable.
There was only one row of seats at the back of this car. Qianye looked around and could only sit next to Qiqi. He was used to the vast space in a steam truck, and this car seemed too cramped and cramped in comparison. As long as he stretches his body, he will touch Qiqi's arm.
Qiqi habitually stretched out her hand to Qianye's chin: "My little beauty, I never thought you would be so handsome dressed up."
Qianye calmly moved his head aside from the eldest lady's claws and said, "I would also like to thank you for the etiquette and stylists you sent."
But Qiqi’s character is the type that will never give up until she takes advantage. Her hand fell down, grabbed Qianye's palm and touched it a few times, then smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, I will take you to a show tonight. You don't have to do anything, not even dance or socialize , If you like it, the food at the banquet is always good. Your appearance at the banquet is the whole purpose. I believe that with your current appearance, you will attract enough hatred and alarm several important people."
Qianye didn't say a word. In fact, Qiqi's words also confirmed his previous guesses about this mission.
However, the doubts have not decreased, only more. Do important figures from aristocratic families only judge threats by looking at one face? Even if this was Qiqi's criterion, Qianye didn't feel that the masters around her were collectively demented, otherwise Qiqi would never have been able to reach the final stage of being selected as the heir to the Yin family.
The lights in the city lord's palace are brightly lit, and melodious music echoes throughout the majestic main building. The wide square is already filled with all kinds of vehicles, including box carriages driven by various land-based beasts. But the black crystal car that Qiqi rides in is unique. Even in the empire itself, vehicles powered by black crystal are very expensive luxuries.
Qianye quickly looked around the square and came to the conclusion that it seemed that the Yinma Yin family might have the highest status at tonight's banquet.
The vehicle stopped directly in front of the main building gate. Ji Yuanjia jumped out of the driver's seat and opened the rear door. Qiqi and Qianye stepped out in front of everyone's attention.
With a bang, there was a lot of discussion around him.
"Miss Qiqi is here!"
"Who is that young man? In the same car as Miss Qiqi?"
"So handsome! He is also a captain!"
"It can't be Miss Qiqi's new...that...what?"
"It's very unfamiliar. Who is sending young people down again?"
A tall and mighty middle-aged man was surrounded and walked out of the gate, came to Qiqi, hugged her gently, laughed and said: "My niece Qiqi is still so beautiful!"
Qiqi chuckled and replied: "Uncle, you are also very energetic!"
Qianye has seen information about this middle-aged man, Yuan Zeyu, the lord of Xichang City. He is no ordinary warrior. He is also the head of an in-law branch of the Yin family and has a close relationship with the Yin family. Although the surname is not Yin, the blood relationship is stronger than most side branches.
It is precisely because of this relationship that his team came to Yongye Continent to guard the strategic location of Xichang City. Compared with Yuan Zeyu, the Lord of Dark Blood City is a second-rate figure.
Yuan Zeyu's eyes immediately fell on Qianye, and his eyes flashed, as if he penetrated the fog like lightning, and all the secrets were revealed!
