146: Giving up military power with a cup of wine, Xue Ke performing a dance?

Half a day passed in a flash.

Qian Feng, Qian Renxue, and the grandfather-granddaughter pair Dugu Bo arrived at the Imperial Palace again, and it was already a different scene.

Sir Qian Feng!

The moment Qian Feng stepped into the Imperial Palace, a string of servants bowed forward to greet him. The entire Imperial Palace was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, looking quite festive.

Sir Qian Feng, we will lead the way for you!" A string of more than ten servants stood neatly on both sides, each holding jade carvings, looking respectful.

It seems they gave him ample face.

"Hmm, let's go." Qian Feng smiled slightly. Qian Renxue linked arms with him, and Dugu Bo stood behind them.

The four people arrived at the banquet hall. At this time, the center of the main hall was empty, and on both sides were the various Crown Princes and ministers.

Slightly different was that there were a few more military generals in the banquet, sitting on the side in armor, their eyes fixed on Qian Feng.

Qian Feng smiled and squinted. There was still a seat beside Xue Ye, which was naturally prepared for him.

"Haha~ Young Master Qian Feng has arrived, sit with this King." Xue Ye stood up to greet him. Qian Feng naturally didn't stand on ceremony and stepped forward to sit beside him.

Qian Renxue and the others were seated to his left, observing everyone in the banquet.

This atmosphere... something's not right.

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes, picked up a piece of papaya, and bit into it. She couldn't get involved in any of these schemes or fights.

Anyway, with her older brother holding the fort, she just had to eat her melon and watch the show!

"These few are the border-guarding generals of my Heaven Dou Empire." Xue Ye introduced with a smile. As his voice fell, the generals all stood up together and toasted Qian Feng in unison.

"The generals have profound Soul Power and imposing killing intent. It seems they are skilled fighters on the battlefield." Qian Feng smiled slightly and politely raised his cup to respond to them.

Xue Qinghe squinted and looked at Qian Feng. He still couldn't guess what this person was going to do at this moment, only vaguely guessing his Father Emperor's thoughts. He lowered his head and quietly observed the development of the situation.

As for Xue Beng and the other two, a red light flashed in their eyes, and they gritted their teeth, looking at Qian Feng with great displeasure. This gaze was detected by the latter.

Smiling, he glanced slightly, sweeping over Xue Beng. The three immediately felt a chill down their spines and lowered their heads.

"Tsk tsk, it seems the three Crown Princes, Xue Beng, have been infected by the Blood Serpent, but Xue Qinghe hasn't." Qian Feng quickly thought to himself, sighing, "Tang San and Tang Hao don't seem to place too much importance on the Heaven Dou Empire. Then, as long as Xue Ye hands over military power, this matter will be complete."

Thinking this, Qian Feng rose with a smile, holding his wine cup in his right hand, and walked towards the center, seemingly heading towards the generals.

Xue Ye narrowed his eyes, quietly observing the other party's actions.

"Generals, you hold military power and guard the borders year-round. Do you feel hardship?" Qian Feng chuckled and asked with concern.

The generals stood up together, holding their wine cups in both hands. They understood when they arrived that this person's intentions were not good. Emperor Xue Ye urgently summoned them back to emphasize the importance of military power and that it could not be negotiated away.

What Xue Ye thought was that since Qian Feng had considered the safety of the common people, he naturally had to proceed from this point to protect the military power.

"Young Master Qian Feng, the borders are not safe now. Our soldiers under our command are desperately defending them, which is why we have the peace and prosperity of the Heaven Dou Empire." The burly armored general's voice was deep as he raised his cup in return.

"Hehe~ Now that the Empire is about to join Spirit Hall, who on the Continent would dare to offend the Heaven Dou Empire?" Qian Feng chuckled, holding a cup of wine in his right hand, walked up to the speaking general, toasted him, and then said:

"However, the generals hold heavy troops and guard the borders. In the peaceful days to come, eating and living with the soldiers under your command, the feelings between officers and soldiers are quite deep, I'm afraid you might forget..."

He raised his head, drank a cup, and sighed:

"Forget, who is the ruler and who is the subject?"

Qian Feng's voice was pleasant, but to the generals, it sounded more like an echo from hell. In just a few words, he pointed out the one thing they feared the most.

Being suspected of having achievements that overshadow the ruler!

Xue Qinghe sighed, looked towards Qian Feng who was raising his cup in a toast, and had no more calculations in his heart.

"His thoughts are so meticulous, and he himself is a Peak Douluo at level ninety-seven. His Mother is Pope Bibi Dong, and he now holds Star Luo and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The top forces on the Continent already occupy more than half..."

He looked at his Father Emperor. There was also helplessness in the other party's eyes. He wanted to use the soldiers and common people as bargaining chips.

But he didn't expect that Qian Feng's single cup of wine would make the generals dare not make any further troop movements.

As soon as they moved, the hat of "achievements overshadowing the ruler" would be placed upon them. Even Xue Ye would have to kill a few people at that time.

Qian Feng bent down, picked up the wine pot from the table in front of the general, and personally poured him a cup.

"Come, you've worked hard guarding the borders all these years~ Qian Feng represents Spirit Hall and thanks you for your contributions." Qian Feng toasted with a smile. The general raised his head and gave a dull smile, also returning a cup.

Dugu Bo stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, sighing, "Releasing military power with a cup of wine, that is truly a good tactic."

"Huh? Didn't my brother just toast a cup of wine? How is that a good tactic?" Qian Renxue gnawed on her papaya, her big eyes blinking, feeling a bit confused.

Under Qian Feng's protection all these years, she had almost no concept of these power schemes and calculations.

"Uh, are you two really born of the same Mother?" Dugu Bo turned his head and asked suspiciously.

"Pah! Not only were my brother and I born of the same Mother, we were from the same womb! He was just a tiny bit faster than me!" Qian Renxue snorted lightly, resting her fragrant cheek on her left hand, and fiercely biting into the papaya.

She seemed very displeased at being looked down upon by Dugu Bo.

When Qian Feng returned to Xue Ye's side, the latter smiled bitterly and shook his head, losing his temper. He changed the subject and asked in return, "By the way, Young Master Qian Feng doesn't seem to be married yet. Looking at you, I'm afraid you're nineteen, right? Hehe, when I was your age, I was already preparing to have children."

"Uh, ahem, I'm not married, but I already have someone I love." Qian Feng smiled generously. Dugu Yan heard with her ears perked up and bit her lower lip, looking at him.

Qian Renxue looked left and right, smacked her lips, and sighed, "Quite a few people are truly coveting my brother's body!"

"Haha, Young Master of Spirit Hall, what's wrong with having three wives and four concubines? If Heaven Dou and Spirit Hall could unite in the future and become even closer through marriage, how wonderful would that be?" Xue Ye laughed heartily. This was his last and most helpless tactic.

"If Young Master Qian Feng becomes my son-in-law, I will immediately take off this crown and put it on you!"

Qian Feng frowned, wanting to refuse. Xue Ye clapped his hands. The musicians around began to play instruments. Immediately after, a group of slender, exquisite young girls in pink dresses filed in from outside the main hall, lining up on both sides, twisting their bodies and dancing gracefully.

Immediately after, Princess Xue Ke, in a white gauze long dress, with bare feet, slowly entered the center. Her Swan Martial Soul was revealed, her posture light, and her dance graceful and flowing.

However, the glances she cast at Qian Feng from time to time were both shy and curious.

Qian Renxue bit her papaya, suppressing the laughter in her heart, and gave the other party a look.

The latter lowered her head helplessly at this moment, having already guessed Xue Ye's idea. She could only feel utterly speechless. When she turned her head, her eyes met Qian Renxue's.

The two had a tacit understanding and could communicate without words.

"Look, the Swan Princess Xue Ke of the Heaven Dou Empire~ Look at her temperament, isn't she bad!"

...

"Why are you standing there blankly? Quickly look at her! Hehe, my brother is truly blessed with female companionship. On this Douluo Continent, he has a way to get close to any woman! Academy Goddess Water Binger, sexy little fox Hu Liena~ I also have a dark-skinned beauty Dugu Yan beside me, and now there's another shy little princess from the royal family!"

"Are you itching for a beating?" Qian Feng narrowed his eyes. Qian Renxue's action of biting the papaya paused, her body trembled, and she turned her head to complain and mutter a few words in a low voice.

Princess Xue Ke in the center was still trying her best to display her dance moves. Qian Feng lowered his eyebrows and drank his wine on his own.

Seeing this, Xue Ye felt a surge of helplessness in his heart. He could only chuckle and find another way.
