Chapter 137: The Moon God Ball
Luo Tian's heart immediately sank. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
How could the demon army come?
Not to mention that there is still a tiger fortress erected in western Liaoning, even if there is any problem with the tiger fortress, it still has to cross the strait, and there is not a coiling dragon fortress ahead?
When it comes to Panlong Fortress, Luo Tian can't help but think that he seems to have a cheap big brother Li Tianjun who is the commander of the fortress there, and there is such a relationship, if there is really any danger, how can he not know it.
But then Cruise's reply made Luo Tian's heart completely hang.
Something is wrong with the Panlong Fortress, on the day of Cruise's departure, the garrison of the fortress was frequently transferred, and it was rumored that it was going to hold a military exercise with the Southern Legion, and several main army corps were almost dispatched.
Moreover, the messenger task that Cruise accepted was also very peculiar, although the letter was destroyed in the war, but the head of the fortress mage regiment personally explained, saying that it must be delivered, saying that it must be delivered, saying that it must be delivered to Yuhang Town within five days, and it must be handed over to the city lord within five days.
Young Master of the Li family, isn't that just pointing at himself? It seems that his eldest brother still cares about himself.
In addition to being moved, Luo Tian also calmed down, combined with the approaching demon army and the abnormal movement of the Panlong Fortress as mentioned before, there was a strong smell of conspiracy in it.
It is very likely that the movements of the demons are very clear on the side of the Coiling Dragon Fortress.
However, Luo Tian still didn't believe that the demon army would cross the strait, pass through the two Xiong Passes, and come to Yuhang Town, he was more inclined to have some ulterior actions of the demon army, and the convoy was part of their conspiracy, maybe it had something to do with Yuhang Town?
But what exactly is the purpose?!
Luo Tian thought about it for most of the night, but he didn't figure it out.
In any case, it is better to believe what you have than not to believe in it.
Luo Tian went to Huang Fuying's side early the next morning, thinking of warning Huang Fuying, and by the way, looking for any flaws in Lieutenant Colonel Wang Wei.
But the ideal is very full, and the reality is cruel.
When he really arrived in front of Huang Fuying, Luo Tian found that this matter was not so easy to say.
After talking nonsense, I didn't know how to speak after a long time.
After all, he suspected that there was something wrong with the lieutenant colonel of the regular army of the kingdom without evidence, and it was not so easy to open his mouth at all.
Luo Tian could only pretend that he had dreamed of the Knight of Cruise, and retold what Cruise told in a real way.
The result was naturally not ideal, Huang Fuying burst into laughter, and said that Luo Tian was too tired, thinking about it day and night, and he didn't take it seriously at all.
Fortunately, Luo Tian was in a hurry and said several key information, one was the name of Wang Wei, the head of the transport group.
It stands to reason that he, a newcomer to the priesthood, could not have known the name of the head of a transport team in the Coiling Dragon Fortress.
Even Huang Fuying didn't know that Huang Fuying summoned his subordinates to implement this, and it was true.
In addition, Luo Tian's connection with Cruise in his consciousness, and the details such as the size of the convoy and the goods were explained again, which corresponded to the information he obtained, which made Huang Fuying gradually pay attention to it.
Huang Fuying was skeptical, but for the statement that the demon army was coming, it was as nonsense as Luo Tian, and the reaction at that time was almost the same as when Luo Tian heard the news, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.
I'm just curious why Luo Tian dreamed of this, is there really something wrong with this transport group.
Huang Fuying deliberately discussed with his father, and the two of them hid in the corner and chattered for a long time, and snickered and pointed at themselves from time to time, which made Luo Tian confused, and it was estimated that these two people were making fun of their whimsical and angry teeth.
After a while, the two of them sat down and said that after all, as a magistrate, there was no subordinate relationship between the regular defense force, and there was no basis for his words, so he could not interfere too much in the affairs of the military, and if he had suspicions, it was impossible to interrogate the commander of a dignified transport regiment in a dignified manner.
Thereupon. The city lord of Huangfu pretended to brush his short beard, and thought of a compromise method, that is, to find a reason, hold a grand dinner in the city lord's mansion, invite the other party to participate, and test it in the banquet to see what the result is.
Luo Tian didn't think much about it, he thought it was good, so he agreed.
However, when leaving, Huangfu Ying and Huangfu City Lord kept frowning, like two old foxes stealing chickens, which made Luo Tian always feel uncomfortable in his heart.
Moreover, what is even more odious is that Huang Fuying walked to the door and specially told himself to dress beautifully, and the taste of the Hongmen banquet became stronger, but when Luo Tian questioned, Huang Fuying refused to admit it, and he had no choice but to go back and prepare suspiciously.
The day goes by quickly.
Before dinner time arrived, the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion was opened, and a dozen attendants spread the bright red carpet from the gate to the back flower hall, and carefully arranged colored lanterns were hung everywhere they passed.
Huang Fuying took people to check up and down, and then changed into new dresses and led a group of attendants to the front of the mansion to greet the guests.
After a while, the people who were invited to the ball sat in horse-drawn carriages and arrived at the square in front of the gate one after another, and after checking the invitations, they passed through the gate in twos and threes, and signed in front of the flower garden.
This was a large-scale ball, and unlike the small-scale gathering of the Shenghui Trading House, there were quite a few people who received invitations from the city lord this time, including not only officials and prominent nobles, but even the principals of various chambers of commerce.
Among all the guests, a group of Kingdom soldiers who came on horseback was undoubtedly a dazzling highlight.
It just so happened that the logistics transport team stationed in Yuhang Town was also invited, for tonight's dance, the head of Wang Wei with his henchmen, deliberately put on a brand new black military dress, speaking of which, Wang Wei's subordinates seem to be all strong, one by one with a cold and abnormal expression, with a straight military uniform, with a silver-white ceremonial sword hanging on the waist, it looks so spirited, and the heroic posture makes the noble ladies who come look sideways.
Even the carriages of the various commercial houses in Yuhang Town have arrived, most of the principals of these commercial houses are walking in various cities, many of them coincide with their meetings, not long after coming to Yuhang Town, although it is not easy to find a suitable dance partner in a short time, but the managers of the commercial houses obviously have their own means, and they each hold their own delicate and beautiful women to appear here.
This kind of ball was held by the lord of the castle in his private capacity, so all the arrangements of the ball were very casual. The waiter at the gate of the flower garden did not announce the title of the visitor in a loud voice, and the guests each found a place to sit down, chatting with their acquaintances in groups, waiting for the lord of the ball, Huangfu City Lord, to appear.
After the arrival of the city lord, the ball officially began.
The garden is generally a rectangular courtyard, surrounded by a larger flower gallery on the outside, and several small courtyards on the inside. The space is well designed to be divided into spaces that can accommodate a few people, as well as an open-air dance floor that can accommodate hundreds of people dancing.
On both sides of the square corridor, there are also small courtyard wings dedicated to resting.
Under the changing lights, the band played soft music, and the guests walked on the parquet floor with wine glasses in hand, greeting each other softly.
Most of the older aristocrats chatted at the table, and most of the young officers sat upright at the long table where snacks were kept, with the exception of Lieutenant Colonel Wang Wei and a red-haired lieutenant who whispered from time to time.
"The lord of the castle has arrived—play music!" a long announcement came from the inner courtyard, and a low long horn sounded.
The guests from all over the place hurriedly walked to the middle of the dance floor, stood according to their identities, bowed their heads slightly, and greeted the arrival of the Huangfu City Lord.
In the sound of the loud trombone, the city lord of Huangfu shook his fat body and appeared by the gate, walking beside him was Huangfu Ying in a straight military dress, and behind Huangfu father and son were two beautiful women in costumes.
One is Kong Fang, who is wearing a goose yellow dress, this little lady is surprisingly elegant today, with a white gauze glove on her little hand gently shaking the same petite white feather fan, full of good girl appearance, while walking, she also covers it with a feather fan from time to time, and says something to the beauty next to her, which makes the restrained girl pop out of a light laugh or two from time to time.
Of course, there is another stunning girl, most of the people here know and even look up to, of course, the young people are more eager.
Needless to say, it is Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden deduced by Luo Tian.
According to Huang Fuying's request, Luo Tian was also dressed up thrillingly this time, and his graceful body was perfectly outlined by a pink evening dress. It seems that she is not used to being noticed by so many people, so she has been lowering her gaze, but this unintentional behavior highlights her long, thick and beautiful eyelashes.
Although her demeanor was already very modest, she showed her smooth and delicate skin outside the dress, and made most of the noble ladies at the ball bow down to the wind - no matter how you look at it, she is a stunning girl that everyone will never forget.
The smiling city lord of Huangfu walked slowly onto the carpet, constantly nodding to the nobles and wealthy merchants on both sides along the way, and even stopped and greeted people who knew each other for a word or two.
The city lord is also wearing a well-fitting black dress, the fat body shape has been decided, no matter how delicate the dress is worn on his body, it is at most a fit, decent, his role seems to be more like a foil of green leaves, and the side of the foil Huangfu Ying is more heroic.
"Excuse me, everyone, it's just a little ball. Walking to his position, the city lord turned to face everyone, and said loudly: "With everyone's efforts, the shadow of the barbarian siege has completely dissipated, and all external traffic has returned to normal, it can be said that the situation in Yuhang Town has completely stabilized, and daily life should also be restored." This Moon God Blessing Ball is just the beginning, let's take this opportunity to bless tomorrow even better. ”
"One thing that needs to be explained is that at today's ball, I also warmly invited the stewards of various trading houses, they are my guests, and they are also the cornerstone of the prosperity of Yuhang Town, everyone should help me take care of it!" Raising his hand to calm the applause in the audience, the Huangfu City Lord glanced back at Huangfu Ying, and said with a mysterious smile: " There is one more thing, ladies and gentlemen, as the moon god blessed the ball, fate is very wonderful, we are lucky to invite a lot of handsome officers of the Wehrmacht at today's ball, that are all chivalrous and tender men, if the ladies look at which one is pleasing to the eye...... It doesn't matter if you can take it away, in the name of the moon god, you can't indulge yourself tonight!
Listening to the words of the city lord, those noble ladies laughed one by one, and the eager eyes of many sons and buddies could already melt the iceberg, but unfortunately, the officers led by Lieutenant Colonel Wang Wei seemed to be unusually calm, and they were unmoved by the cold ice for ten thousand years, as if this lively scene had nothing to do with it.
"In order to avoid some misunderstandings, I declare in advance that the first dance will be danced by our Heavenly Saintess and Dog Emperor Fuying, presumably the reason is already known when you come......" Everyone can see that the city lord's interest tonight is very high: "The two of them will be the protagonists of tonight." If you want to dance with them, you don't have a lot of chances, ladies and gentlemen, you have to cheer up—all right, the dance begins!"
