Chapter 1091
Ten minutes later, the three members of the Ye family sat around a square wooden table to eat.
"Come on, Xiaoxiao, you rarely come here, let's have a drink!" Ye Hualong got a bottle of Maotai from somewhere.
Ye's mother glared at her husband, but for the sake of her son, she didn't get angry.
"Come on, Xiaoxiao, try the fish made by mom!" Ye's mother picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in Ye Xiao's bowl.
Feeling the rare atmosphere of family reunion, Ye Xiao felt warm in his heart.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Ye's mother put down her chopsticks. She looked at Ye Xiao and asked with a smile: "Xiao Xiao, how about the partner that mom found for you? Which one do you want to marry?"
"Your father and I have been looking forward to you giving birth to a fat grandson!"
At this time, Ye Xiao also put down his chopsticks and pouted: "Mom, what do you think?"
"How can you arrange nine partners at once? They must come one by one. Do you know how I have been for the past three months?"
"Hey, hey, hey! Boy, how do you talk to your mother? Although I also felt that this was a bit inappropriate at first, but to be honest, just tell me whether the partner your mother found for you is good-looking and excellent?"
"Do you know how much energy your mother has wasted and how many white hairs she has had to choose these girls for you?"
Ye Hualong finally found the opportunity to show his status as the head of the family at this time, and rebuked Ye Xiao righteously.
As he spoke, he winked at Ye Xiao, asking him to stop and give him some face.
Ye Xiao snorted coldly, "I have met all the partners, but marriage will be put off for a while."
When he said this, Ye Xiao felt guilty, because he didn't know who he should marry when it came to marriage.
As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his mother. Ye's mother knew what Ye Xiao was thinking, "Okay, I won't urge you to get married, but you have to put the matter of grandchildren on the agenda."
As she spoke, Ye's mother narrowed her eyes and stared at Ye Xiao with a smile. She could not hide the relationship between Ye Xiao and several girls.
Although she was stationed on an isolated island in the South China Sea, she still had many old subordinates in Xuanyuan.
Ye Xiao felt more guilty when he saw his mother's eyes, as if he had secretly held the hand of a girl from the neighbor's house when he was a child, and his mother saw through him at a glance when he returned home.
So he hurriedly changed the subject, "Mom, what are you doing in the South China Sea? There are no people for hundreds of miles around here, so where can the enemies come from?"
Of course, Ye's mother knew that Ye Xiao was guilty at this time, but she didn't intend to make things difficult for Ye Xiao on this issue. Moreover, Ye Xiao took the initiative to ask about this matter, which paved the way for what she was going to say next.
"Xiao Xiao, although there are no enemies here for the time being, it does not mean that the enemies will not appear here." Speaking of business, Ye's mother and Ye Hualong and his wife also looked serious.
"The sea area we are in is a critical strategic channel for the whole world."
"Nearly one-third of the world's shipping routes need to pass through here. The shipping throughput here ranks second in the world. More than 60% of Longguo's trade depends on the routes in this sea area."
"And in recent decades, large oil fields have been discovered here, and their reserves can completely replace those in the Central Continent."
"So this place is extremely important to Longguo. In the past ten years, some ambitious overseas countries have been active here frequently, and their purpose is to build a strategic encirclement of Longguo."
"Once the contradictions between the two sides are irreconcilable, they will directly cut off the maritime traffic here, posing a military threat to Longguo."
Ye Xiao certainly knew who this overseas country his mother was talking about. After some things in Gangcheng, Ye Xiao also knew the extent of the open and secret struggles between the two countries.
"Then mom, your mission here should not only be to guard against possible provocations from those offshore countries!"
Ye Xiao is very familiar with the team his parents are in. Although everyone in the team is very strong, if a war really breaks out, they will not play a big role.
After all, no matter how strong the individual combat power is, it is useless in the face of the high-tech weapons of the superpower.
At this time, Ye Hualong took over the conversation, "The enemy has ambitions for this place, and we will naturally not just passively defend."
"Our purpose here, in addition to reconnaissance and garrison, is to unite like-minded Nanyang countries to crack down on those overseas countries with ulterior motives and extend their hands into this area."
"But now many places in Longguo are constrained by overseas countries, and our mission is also very difficult!"Hearing the old man's tone, Ye Xiao knew what he was planning.
"Dad, just tell me! What do you need me to do?" Ye Xiao said straight to the point.
In fact, Ye Xiao was not rejecting the tasks assigned by the superiors, but he was somewhat resistant to the old man's way of making things mysterious and just wanting himself to be a tool who doesn't need to ask anything and doesn't need to know anything.
If you explain the matter clearly and explain the pros and cons, I will naturally not refuse what I can do.
Ye Hualong smiled comfortingly: "Xiao Xiao, you came just in time. There is indeed a task that needs you to do now."
"In a month, the Nanyang countries will hold a martial arts exchange conference. At that time, the martial arts halls and local martial arts forces of the Nanyang countries will send people to participate."
"This is our opportunity to promote the Dragon Country martial arts, which will help us deepen our ties with the Nanyang countries, so we need someone to lead the team to participate."
Hearing his father's words, Ye Xiao couldn't help but feel a little confused. Is it appropriate for him, a Dragon Country person, to participate in the martial arts exchange conference of the Nanyang countries?
Besides, his parents' team is not short of martial arts masters, so it seems that others can do this task!
Seeing Ye Xiao frowning, Ye's mother guessed Ye Xiao's confusion, so she explained: "The martial arts exchange meeting your father mentioned is indeed only eligible for the local martial arts halls of the Nanyang countries, but the Dragon Country's Wu Ji Association also has a branch in Nanyang, so there are still places."
"You have been the president of the Wu Ji Association, and you know enough about the Wu Ji Association, so it is the most appropriate for you to do this task."
Is there also a Wu Ji Association in Nanyang?
This is something Ye Xiao did not expect.
But on second thought, many countries in Nanyang have descendants of the Dragon Country, and even in some countries, the proportion is second only to the local main ethnic group. It seems normal to have a Wu Ji Association where there are Dragon people.
"Okay, let me do this task!"
Ye Xiao readily agreed. First, he wanted to share the worries of his parents. Although it is comfortable to enjoy a comfortable time, he is unwilling to live like that all the time.
Secondly, Ye Xiao remembered the promise he had made to Tan Lang. Now that he had the opportunity to go to Southeast Asia, it was a good opportunity to fulfill his promise.
