Chapter 16: Trouble
(Today's second chapter!!) Come on!)
Thinking that he was about to return to the imperial capital, Long Aotian didn't know what kind of mood he was in at the moment, and when he thought about returning to that cold home, Long Aotian felt helpless for a while, but fortunately, after going back this time, he should have enough money to buy a house of his own outside, and then he could completely leave that ruthless home. --Phoenix-Dance-Literature-Learning-Net--
Although he thinks so, will it really be possible? Everything is still unknown.
The dinner party in the evening can be said to be very rich, some of the local famous families were invited to the city lord's mansion by this city lord, although Long Aotian said that he didn't like it, he was a little helpless, but what could he do?
However, those people let out bursts of exclamations after seeing Long Aotian, and they never thought of and dared not think of being able to attend a dinner party with Long Aotian, the most popular person now.
And Luo Lin was completely speechless at this time, although attending a dinner party was a common thing for people like him, but this dinner party may be the first time he had attended, because the entire dinner party when everyone's attention was focused on Long Aotian. Long Aotian is the focus of the whole scene from beginning to end, and naturally it is also the object of attention of those young ladies, for those ladies, if they can get Long Aotian's favor, they may be able to have the opportunity to accompany such a big person, which is not only a fortunate thing for them, but also a glorious thing for their family, if they can accompany such a big tree as the Long family, their family can instantly improve its status in the empire.
Therefore, Long Aotian did not get any trace of peace from beginning to end, and some people constantly came to introduce the women around him, or some people simply came over to recommend themselves, and constantly introduced themselves, for these things that seemed a little childish in Long Aotian's eyes, what else could Long Aotian do except a helpless wry smile?
Although he had never attended a similar dinner, Long Aotian still knew the most basic etiquette, that is, he could not dismiss the self-introduction of these people in person, because such behavior was very taboo in the aristocracy. This is quite a sign of disrespect.
Looking at the scene of the warbler and the verdant on Long Aotian's side, Park Xiyan didn't know why her heart had an uncomfortable feeling, she didn't know why her eyes kept paying attention to Long Aotian's side, and she didn't know what her heart was worried about at this time. In such a state, she was in an absent-minded state throughout the dinner, so naturally some young gentlemen came to invite and greet her, but she directly ignored them.
After a seemingly long dinner, the party was finally over in an uncomfortable state. Look at the time, Long Aotian returned to his room as fast as he could.
"Depressed, Aotian, why do you say everyone only pays attention to you? Could it be that I'm Luo Lin not handsome enough? You must know that in the imperial capital, a group of people are rushing to be with me! I really don't know what the people here think, it is simply the greatest insult to me to ignore my existence like this tonight, really, next time I swear never to attend such a banquet again!"
Thinking about everything that had just happened, Luo Lin's heart was depressed for a while, this was the most embarrassing dinner party he had ever attended.
"Hehe, Rollin, that's because they don't know your identity, if they knew that you were the direct descendant of the current Elton family, maybe they wouldn't be like this, then you are definitely also a focus!"
Listening to Rollin's complaints, Sinzina laughed and said. He didn't feel anything about the evening, and it was best to let himself sit and enjoy the food quietly.
"I don't want to rely on our family's appeal to attract these people, I know by my own ability and charm?"
Although he knew that what Sinzina said was right, Luo Lin's heart still had a trace of resentment.
Looking at Luo Lin, who was complaining, Long Aotian smiled slightly, he knew that the guys in the imperial capital who admired Luo Lin didn't look at the strength of the Elton family the same? Otherwise, those snobs could treat her like this? Of course, there are still some people who really go to Luo Lin.
"Hee-yan, what's wrong with you?
Suddenly, Long Aotian noticed Park Xiyan beside him, and as soon as he came back, he seemed to be not very happy, and he didn't speak, so he stayed there sullenly, so he asked suspiciously. There seems to be a slight anomaly in this situation.
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm a little uncomfortable, if it's okay, I'll go back first, it's not too early to take a good rest, aren't we going to rush tomorrow?"
After smiling at everyone forcefully, Park Hee-yeon walked alone towards his residence.
All the people who looked at her who were leaving looked at each other, as if this matter was not so simple. Only Sinzina was present, showing a smiling expression, as if he understood something at this moment.
"Aotian, then we'll go first!"
After seeing Park Hee-yeon leave, Sinzina and Luo Lin also took their own goodbyes and walked towards their rooms.
"Do I really like that guy? Is that possible? Aren't he and I brother and sister?"
On the way back to his room, Park Hee-yeon asked himself suspiciously, he didn't know why he was in such a mood today.
"Forget it, don't think about it anymore!"
After shaking his head, Park Hee-yeon walked in and walked in.
The next day, when Long Aotian just got up in the morning, the city lord seemed to have received the news and walked over to this side, seeing that Long Aotian had just finished freshening up, he smiled slightly and said: "General Long, you will leave when you enter the sky, right?" This is a little bit of my heart, I hope you can accept it, and I also have a reluctant request that I hope General Long can agree. ”
As he spoke, he took out a voucher from his arms, looking at the contents of it, Long Aotian couldn't help but be secretly surprised, this is a voucher of 50,000 gold coins, as long as you hold it, any bank in the empire can get the deposit inside.
"City Lord, what are you??Just say something, you better put this away!"
After shaking his head helplessly, Long Aotian said, you must know that these gold coins are at least one-tenth of the annual income of their small city, this amount is too big for Long Aotian, and besides, it is the most basic thing to eat people's mouths and take people's soft hands. He still knows this truth.
"General Long, is one of my nephews, he has hoped to enter the army and become a soldier since he was a child, and now he is also eighteen years old, and his own strength has also reached the level of a senior swordsman, this time your Xuanwu Legion has recruited soldiers? After he heard your rumors, he hoped to be able to go to the Xuanwu Legion, so I hope you can help me a little more in this matter!"
Saying that, he looked at Long Aotian flatteringly, and it was difficult to hide his expectation.
After listening to his words, Long Aotian understood what he meant, he hoped to be able to let his nephew help him to take a position in the army.
"I know about this matter, there is no problem in entering the legion with his strength, and when the time comes, let's talk about other things when he comes in!"
After pondering for a moment, Long Aotian said. Anyway, now that the Xuanwu Legion is short of soldiers and major generals, there is naturally no problem for someone to come in. If his nephew is really capable, then it is not impossible to help him, and those who are capable naturally need to be reused.
"Then I will thank General Long on behalf of my little nephew!"
After hearing Long Aotian's reply, the city lord said excitedly, and at the same time, he stuffed the money ticket in his hand towards Long Aotian.
"I said I can't ask for this!"
Seeing his movements, Long Aotian said solemnly. If you accept this money, you don't know what others will say about it.
"General Long, don't worry, this money is definitely clean, the little nephew's family is in business, and this money is still nothing to them. ”
After seeing Long Aotian's expression, he explained.
"No need, no matter what kind of money it is, I won't take it, city lord, if there is nothing to do, I will go and gather our soldiers now, it is not too early, we are about to leave. ”
Looking at the city lord Long Aotian helplessly, he said lightly.
"Okay, since General Long said so, then I'll take it back!"
After a sigh, he saw him take his money back into his arms.
After tidying up the soldiers, Long Aotian said goodbye to the people in the City Lord's Mansion and led everyone outside.
"Butler, is the thing done?"
Seeing Long Aotian and the others walking away, this year's city lord asked an old man beside him.
"Don't worry, I've put it in General Long's baggage, and I promise that no one can see it!"
Smiling slightly, the old man said affirmatively.
"That's good, when the time comes to collect our money, he will bother a little bit when he helps my nephew. ”
???????
It was still early, perhaps because the news of their departure had not been leaked, so no one in the city noticed them at the moment.
After seeing this situation, he said to everyone: "Let's go, while there are not many people now, we will get out of the city as soon as possible!"
With a loud shout, Treadsnow picked up his speed in vain, and ran in the direction of the city gate. Behind him followed all the people.
Although the residents here discovered their whereabouts after Long Aotian and them came out, their speed was too fast, and they couldn't help but reflect that they had disappeared, so everyone could only sigh helplessly.
"Huhuhu??????? It's finally out!"
Listening to the shouts from the town behind him, Luo Lin said with palpitations, these people are really crazy, fortunately their speed is fast enough, otherwise they will waste another morning if they are blocked.
