Chapter 409 Grand Dinner

Si Ming: “.”

At the moment, Si Ming was already feeling depressed because Ye Jiaojiao failed to attend his birthday party. He thought that it was another day without getting the "status", but Shen Nanxi was rubbing salt into his wounds.

As soon as Shen Nanxi finished speaking, his face suddenly darkened.

The terrifying momentum swept across like a gale.

Si Ting and the others who were standing nearby were frightened and shuddered.

After discovering the situation here, Si Ting hurried over, pulled the corner of Shen Nanxi's clothes, and whispered a reminder:

"Cousin, stop talking."

What's going on?

Realizing that he had touched his cousin's sore spot.

Shen Nanxi raised an eyebrow and asked with his eyes.

Although Si Ting did not answer him and just winked in Si Ming's direction, Shen Nanxi still wisely stopped talking.

He had a feeling that if he continued to ask about his brother's wife, his cousin with facial paralysis would probably go berserk on the spot.

This is a non-integer birthday party.

The birthday boy is also very young.

It was said to be a birthday celebration for Si Ming, but in fact it was more like a grand dinner with the nature of power transfer.

In the afternoon, guests who were relatives and close to the Si family arrived one after another.

Everyone gathered in groups of three or five to reminisce about the past.

By the time it got dark, most of the other guests had arrived.

Si Yufeng opened the entire huge Si family ancestral home.

Except for the main building where my family lives.

Several side courtyards, the banquet hall and the back garden were all packed with people, just like a grand state banquet.

It is comparable to the birthday party of His Majesty the Royal Family.

Tonight's guests are mainly divided into three areas.

Military members targeting the identities of Si Yufeng and Si Ming.

Political leaders and some old imperial families who are interested in the Si family.

Finally, there are heavyweight scholars such as Xia Ming, Xia Er and Hunt.

It can be said that if an enemy attack occurs over the Si family at this time and this group of people are killed here, the sky of the empire will collapse immediately.

In the garden.

Xia Ming, Xia Er, Hunt, Old Man Yu and other bigwigs from the research institute gathered together.

Having swept away the gloom of the past period, Mr. Yu is now in very good condition. He looks like he is decades younger and full of energy.

This made some people who knew the situation in Yu's hometown feel particularly puzzled.

Both Mr. Yu's son and grandson are suffering from genetic infection. They are in danger of losing their lives at any time. They may collapse mentally and lose their lives.

Except for Xia Ming and Xia Er who are in the know.

The other scholars were all puzzled as to why Mr. Yu was still in the mood to attend the banquet.

Faced with other people's probing or curiosity, Old Yu kept silent and only said that he came because he received an invitation from the Si family.

The lights in the banquet hall are bright.

People from different fields gathered together.

They each work independently and have a great time talking to each other.

"Lieutenant General, there are quite a lot of people here today."

At the dining table.

A colonel from the Second Corps stood with his back straight, following his superior in an orderly manner.

He looked at it for a while and couldn't help but say.

"yes."

Vice Admiral Rex rarely put away his usual ruffian and scoundrel attitude.

"Several generals and lieutenant generals from the First, Third, and Fourth Armies on the capital planet are all here. Even the expeditionary force sent a lieutenant general back from the border to attend Si Ming's birthday party. It's a rare occasion."

The last time Si Ming went to the border to carry out a mission, he found out that some people in the Second Army used innocent people as spies to claim military merits.

Rex was betrayed by the fools under his command and was punished for it.

Not long after Si Ming took Yun Che away from the border, Rex also rushed back to the capital planet to receive punishment.

Thinking of the rumor that had been circulating in the military recently, a serious look quickly flashed in Lieutenant General Rex's eyes.

This banquet tonight is of great significance.

Especially for them, the imperial soldiers.

The Second Army and the Fifth Army were close and would not gossip with each other. Rex chatted with his subordinates for a few words and then stopped talking.

However, the Third and Fourth Armies had no concerns.

Instead, he felt a little anxious because of a certain rumor.

"I heard Marshal Nicolus will also be here tonight."

An officer from the Third Army spoke quietly, lowering his voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that everyone around him was looking at him with strange and incomprehensible eyes, which made the officer feel uneasy.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Upon hearing this, a major general from the First Legion curled his lips.

"It is precisely because Marshal Nicolus will be here tonight that all of us are here."

"Why?"

The man asked subconsciously, but the major general of the First Legion ignored him and walked away to stand with the people of the First Legion.

He waited until the person was far away before someone else came to help him solve his doubts.

"It is said that the Marshal has already chosen his successor."

Successor? ! !

Could the person related to the Si family be General Si Yufeng?

The man's eyes widened instantly when he heard it.

Those around who had heard some rumors also fell silent.

The empire officially has a total of six legions.

In addition to the six major legions, there is the expeditionary force with slightly weaker combat power.

Each legion has a corresponding general commander.

Above these admirals is Marshal Nicolus.

The only marshal from the royal family.

In the empire, the royal family was just a symbol.

It is a mascot.

The marshal who truly controls the legion is the one with real power.

Marshal Nicholas's health has been deteriorating in recent years, and the royal family, as the mascot, is the one most worried about Nicholas's resignation.

Even if he really can't hold on any longer and has to step down, the royal family hopes that Nicholas can choose the general of the First Legion as his successor.

Because the First Legion is backed by the royal family.

The royal family cannot control military power, but they can operate behind the scenes.

Today is Si Ming's birthday party, and Marshal Nicholas, who has not appeared in public for a long time, is said to be in attendance, which has made all parties agitated.

Royal family.

Inside the legion.

It's all like this.

Everyone had different thoughts, and they were quietly waiting for what would happen next.

At the same time, Ye Jiaojiao, who had been in seclusion for several days, finally came out successfully at the last moment before the sunset disappeared.

As soon as she lifted the restriction, she sensed the presence of her senior brothers and fourth brothers outside the Imperial Academy.

Thinking that it would be next semester when she came back after leaving today, Ye Jiaojiao packed her luggage after tidying up the room, put the gifts she had prepared into the mustard seed space, and then left the dormitory.

As she walked out, she sent a message to Olive's professor, indicating that she had left school and would return to report for the new semester.

Mr. Yu had already taken care of the leave issue for Ye Jiaojiao.

After receiving Ye Jiaojiao's text message, Olive waved her hand and said cheerfully, "See you next semester."

"Big Brother, Fourth Brother, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Outside Imperial College.

Ye Jiaojiao soon met Yun Che and Bai Feng.

"I'm glad you're okay."

Seeing Ye Jiaojiao's rosy complexion and a stable aura, Yun Che breathed a sigh of relief, and Bai Feng's expression also became less ugly.

However, when he thought about the stupid things Ye Jiaojiao had done during this retreat, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

So Bai Feng didn't take the initiative to talk to Ye Jiaojiao, but just sat there sulking with his back to her.

After Ye Jiaojiao finished greeting Yun Che, she saw Bai Feng's appearance.

"Fourth Senior Brother."

After exchanging a glance with Yun Che, Ye Jiaojiao came to Bai Feng and called out to her obediently.

Bai Feng snorted and continued to sulk.

Ye Jiaojiao also knew that her fourth senior brother had protected her since she was a child, just like protecting his own child, so it was normal for him to be angry with her at this time.

"Fourth Brother, please don't be angry, okay? I know I was wrong."

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and Ye Jiaojiao had a coquettish look on her face and a pleading look in her eyes.

Seeing this, Bai Feng's attitude softened from a cold face in the blink of an eye.

"Didn't you say you were going to the Si family? If you don't leave now, you'll be too late."
