Chapter 717: Cocktail party

"Don't do it yet."

A deep voice resounded in the shadow split by the light: "Why?"

"My instinct." He took the cup away from his lips and put it back on the coffee table. Both the position and the orientation of the handle of the cup were the same as before, except that the coffee inside had disappeared: "and his confidence ."

After saying this, he got up from the sofa and walked back into the light.

The fluctuating silk threads of the body image on the carpet shook slightly and disappeared, and the light pouring on the **** also retracted into the shadow.

The small hall returned to calm.

The banquet was also very peaceful.

Whether it’s the graceful and luxurious Queen Elizabeth, or the majesty the king sitting in jeopardy, or the following princes and their princesses, all lower their heads, and use soothing movements to deliver the food in front of their mouths, as fine as their own nails. Chew carefully, and from time to time pick up a long napkin to dip the food residue from the corners of your lips.

It was said that it was a banquet, but it was not very large. The king and queen, several princes and nearby officials, as well as their family members, plus Tang Fang, Elena, and Kylienia.

Of course, eating is just a symbolic meaning, representing that His Majesty the King has met two people and initially recognized Elena's identity.

In Tang Fang’s view, this kind of dinner is the least tasteful. Although the dishes are rare, many of them are things that have not been seen before, such as the mulberries of Kuhasu star, the special flying caviar sauce of Kehana star, Na The black truffles of Tasha Star Cullen Mountains...

But the kind of quietness and depression mixed in these expensive dishes makes people feel nauseous.

Hymn Will and Henrietta are well-known rivals, and now they are sitting at a table for dinner, as is Captain Tang.

It's not that everyone has no topics to talk about. Aside from politics and military affairs, they have many interests and hobbies, such as the Hunter-class light assault ship of the Phoenix Empire. For example, the liquid body armor of the Charles Federation, as well as luxury sports such as hunting, riding, and pet fighting.

It's just that there is no nutrition, it's not salty or weak. Are looking for topics to talk about.

Captain Tang has never spared time to pursue this luxurious life enjoyment, and no nobles are knowledgeable. Most of the time I bury my head and eat the dishes on the plate, and then I will always be kicked up by Kylenia, or pick up a wine glass with white grapes in front of him, or a wine glass with red wine, wish the king and queen health and prosperity, forever prosperity, wish The regent has a blessing and a long life, and I wish Wang Guohe Qinghaiyan. How can there be no nutrition?

Elena has always been doing well, talking and laughing with Gilcott's wife and Tulamon's wife, mainly talking about the customs of the Charles Union, as well as those beautiful clothes and the life gossip of Charlotte Quinn. .

During the dinner, Drizzt had entered the room and whispered with Hymn Will, and then the depression that permeated the room slowly subsided, like the warm days of winter and spring melting the earth soaked with cold bit by bit.

Tang Fang's conversation with Sange Will was limited to the politeness before entering and the gratitude before leaving. During the rest of the time, he either ate the food on the plate without demeanor, or stared with Kylinia. Carry out silent protests and vicious curses.

After a meal, she kicked him for no less than 20 feet, if it weren't for the 1 trillion stars given by Henrietta. There is also the 7,500 tons of zero elements raised temporarily by the 23rd Ranger Regiment, and he has already set the table.

Kylienia called this aristocratic etiquette, and he scoffed at it.

Obviously it is a dinner, but do not let you eat; shout slogans before toasting; sit upright, not close to the back of the chair; arrange the cups in front of you in order; always pay attention to personal hygiene, otherwise it is disrespectful to the owner; you cannot talk about work, politics, etc. Sensitive topics; can't ignore the women around you; regulate the use of words, it is best to keep a smile when talking... What's more outrageous is that you can't go to the bathroom!

Is this eating or suffering? Obviously it's just a royal family banquet, do you want to be so picky.

It is said that court etiquette in Turanx United Kingdom has been simplified. If it were replaced by the Phoenix Empire and the Sauron Empire... he couldn't imagine how the great nobles could adapt.

When the relationship between the Sauron Empire and the Turanx United Kingdom was tense, members of the royal family laughed at the Olipod family as a group of countrymen without background. For example, a true nobleman. The decorations in the palace are either passed on from the ancestors, or won from the opponents, and snatched from the enemy, instead of paying a big price to show off the rich, they are called upstarts, not nobles.

In fact, he has been waiting for Hymn Will to do it, knowing that the Hall of the Palace is the territory of the new faction.

His Majesty did not dare to move Gilcott and Henrietta. That would detonate the war between the Lionheart's Independent Fleet and the 23rd Ranger Regiment, and it would cause chaos throughout the country.

He is not the same. He does not have the energy of Henrietta, and there is only one "Zai Angel" that came to "Khanos". The biological battleship cluster did not follow. It is completely possible to set up an ambush at this dinner. , Get rid of such a big trouble.

Logically, he has something in his hand that threatens the throne of Hymn Will. Perhaps there will be backups elsewhere. As long as he dies, those backups will be released by those who have arranged in advance.

If someone else faces this situation, they will definitely be helpless and can only become meat on the chopping board and let him kill.

It's a pity that the man sitting on that gorgeous chair is Hymn Will. He holds the dark power of God's arms, and can completely control him, and then use technology to obtain what is in his head.

This kind of thing is certainly not difficult for God's armed forces.

Once His Majesty the King has a lot of information, he can naturally move the mountain to make things easier.

Even if the above methods are not used, what does God's arms do? Cloning is also a killer feature.

But until the dinner was over, nothing happened.

The women went to another room to drink tea, while the men returned to the original lounge and rested for a while.

He saw that the coffee cup placed on the right hand side of Turramon was empty. His Royal Highness stayed for a while without letting the waiter refill it.

Henrietta and Gilcott whispered something.

Tai Lun raised his head from time to time, scanned Tang Fang's indifferent face, then lowered his head, quietly fiddled with the ring on his hand.

Just like when he came, he remained silent, as if cautious. It was ashamed to talk to the princes, anyway, no matter what the reason, the lounge where the men should have talked was not heated up.

Even alcohol. Nor can it sway the publicity in their hearts and eliminate each other's wariness.

The soft light fell on the bright carpet. The **** is a little less elegant and a little more coquettish. The mellow coffee smell permeates the whole room, diminishing the scent of the princes' noses.

The coffee that Change Will used to entertain VIPs is very precious, and the taste is far more mellow than what Christian gave him when he was in "Babylon."

He didn't spend all his thoughts on drinking coffee, and it took a lot of effort to send out to spy on intelligence before sneaking into the data room of the Haar Palace. The strange thing is that the seemingly tightly guarded facility does not store much useful information. Only some non-confidential documents such as letters from the palace and various departments, daily government affairs, living expenses, border defense situation, etc., did not contain any information related to the armed forces of God.

From this we can see how cautious and cautious Sange Will is. Those confidential documents and information about God’s armed forces may have a safer and more secret storage place. After all, the politics of the old and new factions in Turanx United Kingdom The struggle lasted for so many years, as shrewd as your majesty, how could he not prepare much.

In fact, it is not entirely unprofitable. The closed-circuit surveillance system of the Haar Palace captured Mr. J. Although there is not enough evidence to confirm his true identity, 80% of them are inseparable from the armed forces of God.

According to the shuttle model he was riding. As well as the intelligence obtained by Emma from the many space-based unmanned platforms in the "Cabrreto" high-altitude orbit, it is certain that it came from "Nasiro", and its origin should be the suburb of the planet's capital city of Gandagas.

This is consistent with Henrietta's intelligence that God's armed forces are showing signs of activity in "Nasiro".

He also took advantage of the rest time to pay attention to the situation of Kleiya and others.

The girls are still shopping for those beautiful and fun gadgets at the night market. With Bai Hao and Roy's protection, and accompanied by the detector, naturally there is nothing to worry about.

Iger Stetman was bargaining with the small vendors in the electronic parts market. He was so stupid that he couldn't even break a dollar into eight petals... Clayya Mingming gave him a credit card with an overdraft limit of 200,000.

The strangest thing is Byron. After borrowing two ghosts from Tang Fang, he hacked into the data host of the "Dicaben" municipal system to find the identity information and addresses of some women, and then began a search operation. .

He initially suspected that these women were trafficked by "Alice" from other countries, and Byron planned to save them from the fire pit. After all, when he was in "Georgia", he destroyed the lair of "Alice". Obtained a lot of information on human trafficking, not to mention that he himself said that he was a feminist. Such behavior couldn't be more normal.

But as time went by, Tang Fang threw away such thoughts, and there was a very speechless emotion lingering in his heart, and the expression on his face became very strange.

As a result, the waiter next to him who kept him coffee looked trembling, worried whether he was evil of Captain Tang, who was well-known.

Although he has been silent and has not many princes and noble status, there is no doubt that he is the protagonist of today's banquet, including in the banquet hall, even if the king and queen are present, he still can't hide him. Demeanor... Or casual, it can also be called unpretentious, in short it is very eye-catching.

Tang Fang did not drink the second cup of coffee because it was time for the reception.

The noble ladies returned to the lounge under the guidance of Elizabeth and walked downstairs, talking and laughing along the way, in sharp contrast with the men.

Tang Fang just sneered, thinking that it really was "the hornet's tail needle, the most poisonous woman's heart." These women really played one by one. Fortunately, there is Kylenia next to Elena, which made him feel more at ease, otherwise, he really worried that the little girl would be in the same room with those women.

His Majesty the King did not attend the reception, and sent Drizzt to lead the people downstairs to have fun on the excuse of having drunk too much during the dinner and ill health.

He knew very well, "Drinking too much, I am not in good health", but it is just an excuse for not attending the reception.

According to Tang Fang’s guess, it is only Mr. J who violated the order of Sange Will and did not cause trouble during the dinner. His Majesty the King was busy inquiring about the crime. It may also be that they have to do it during the reception, but...there are so many nobles and crowded eyes below, is it really suitable to do it?

Anyway, he only needs to wait and see what happens, and then follow the trend. Originally, he used himself as bait to seduce people armed with God to the bait.

Of course, he would be more happy to see Anthem Weir before and after the canonization ceremony. Because he hasn't settled all the basics of Battleship No. 13 yet, and deep down he resists going to Battleship No. 13 in person.

What are you afraid of? Or what is the origin of those bad feelings? Is there a bomb on it? Hymn Will kill himself at the expense of 2w tons of zero elements?

When I was thinking about it. There was enthusiastic applause in the hall. It turned out that Queen Elizabeth was introducing Elena to the many nobles present.

She was standing on the red carpet, wearing a silver-white evening gown, with many beautiful laces and bright pink diamonds on her chest. Under the light of the huge chandelier on the ceiling, she looked like a clean and intoxicating pearl.

The young baron fixed her gaze on her delicate face with a hint of tenderness, while a few older officials looked at her pink neck and round shoulders unscrupulously. White arms.

Her hands were wearing long gloves that were as pure as the dress, and she became more slender and white.

It was the first time that Elena stood in front of such a large number of officials. Although she had been psychologically prepared, Kylenia had always reminded her to relax and not be nervous, but she was still a little restrained, and the smile on her lips was not so natural.

Tang Fang frowned, lifted his leather boots lightly, and stepped on the heel of a prince named Ankatri, while the man turned his head. Cut to the forefront suddenly.

His Royal Highness has always been pampered, and when he encountered such a thing, his physical fitness was much worse than that of Captain Tang. Was extremely bluntly squeezed out of the front row, falling behind.

Turramon clenched his fists, and the light of the chandelier flickered in his eyes.

Tang Fang squinted and sneered, "If you do something here, you will die miserably."

When Tyron heard the two talking, the v-shaped smile lines on both sides of his mouth seemed to be frozen. The encounter on the first layer of curved interception net told him that what this kid said was true. He could say it and he could do it. .

Turamom raised his head. Looking at the delicate golden reliefs and beautiful patterns, I tried to calm down the irritating killing intent.

He is not afraid. Just because his brother "said", it's not time yet...

The commotion behind and the guests in front were not quite clear. But the appearance of new faces caught their eyes. There is no doubt that this guy with yellow skin and black eyes is the other protagonist today, Captain Tang of "Morning Star Casting".

The nobles cast their eyes with different emotions, such as those who are curious, those who despise, those who are jealous, those who are fearful, and those who are peaceful...but there are no kind people.

Several of them hated him even more, and their eyes were full of murderous intent - they were either friends of the Director of the General Administration of Customs of "Khanos" or they had a relationship with the Singh family. With reason.

Stakeholders on the same hill always like to group together, which is normal.

Tang Fang deliberately tried to pull the hatred. Although Kylenia kept admonishing him not to do this, he still did.

Because I can share the pressure of Elena.

Several princes and the nobles and ministers below didn't think so. They simply thought that he wanted to show the limelight, just like doing things on the first layer of curvy interception nets. They liked Zhang Yang and were ashamed of low-key.

However... this can only be disgusting and spurned by people, without any aristocratic demeanor and character.

"Miss Elena marries such a person, really beautiful flowers are planted on the stench of horse dung."

A lady answered: "Dear Lord Small, I think you and Miss Elena are a good match."

The former shook his head and said with a smile: "Oh, you are wrong, Mrs. Nigras, Miss Elena is like a moon in the sky, and her beauty needs to be high in the sky. I would rather look up at her brilliance. One member."

Having said that, the light in his eyes betrayed his inner thoughts, and the Lord was immersed in pride and enjoyment.

His grandfather is Grand Duke Rules, who is even more tyrannical than Lippati, and he is only slightly weaker than the powerful princes. He is worthy of being Elena's husband, not the dirt above. The scumbag.

No matter how great things a person like Tang Fang did, he was regarded as the kind of the lower Liba by the noble nobles who considered themselves noble, and then stayed away.

When Elizabeth officially introduced Elena’s identity, people only thought that she would become the master of the Duke of Knell, and become a younger and more beautiful queeness than Duke Edwina. Few people thought about her once The unrecognized identity of an illegitimate girl Few people wonder if she would have become an eye-catching jewel without Tang Fang?

Because they have no kindness towards Tang Fang, only hostility, fear and jealousy.

He is not worthy of Elena.

This is everyone’s perception. Even some people who are not confused, such as Turlamon, the ambassador of the Monya Empire, Gordono, and Banside, the son of the Duke of Finney, only think that this is a political marriage. For the exchange of benefits, Tang Fang and Elena just got what they needed.

Of course, the girl herself thinks so, but one thing she knows very well is that Tang Fang’s behavior just now was not an act of arrogance, or pretending to be arrogant in private discussions between aristocrats and officials. He is always willing to keep a low profile unless it is necessary. Only by hiding awkwardly can you be very happy.

Captain Tang has always been a small fox with his body curled up, not a wolf with a big tail with his head up and his chest tall.

What's more, Kylenia has been admonishing him to keep a low profile along the way. No matter how low a key is, Anthem will not do it in the banquet hall, and it is unlikely that he will do it in the hall. If he doesn't want to cause trouble for himself, he stays quietly. Drink quietly in the corner, or continue to fill your stomach with this glorious and great mission. (To be continued)
