40. Chapter 40

【Chapter 40: The Engagement (Middle)】There was a hearty laugh from the crowd, and it was none other than His Majesty Gilbert, the emperor who had been missing for a long time

Ye Minghao put on a smile and said to Ye Zhao: "I still remember when you first learned to walk when you were a child, this time you are so old, you are all engaged!" ”

He seemed to be reminiscing about the past, and his tone of voice became more and more warm.

Ye Zhao only felt more and more irritable in his heart when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to go up and tear the other party's hypocritical and hypocritical face. He held Ludwig's hand tightly, but finally endured it.

Now is not the right time.

When Ye Minghao talked about Ye Zhao's spiritual power, the faces of the two people opposite changed at the same time.

"Eh, it's a pity for us Ye Zhao, who had such good qualifications ...... at the beginning"

"Mr. Ye!" Before Ye Zhao could say anything, Ludwig interrupted, "Do you have anything else?" ”

Ye Minghao was stunned by this sudden question, although he shook his head a little sluggishly.

"That's good," Ludwig took Ye Zhao's hand, "I have other things to do with Ye Zhao, I'm out of company for the time being, I wish you a pleasant evening." ”

"And......" he said as he passed by Ye Minghao, "I don't like it when people talk about my fiancΓ©e, whether it's in front of me or behind my back. ”

After saying this, the two walked straight away, leaving Ye Minghao alone in the same place, unable to tell what the expression on his face was.

The second dance music began slowly. Ludwig half-bent down and made an inviting gesture and danced the first dance of the night between the two.

Gilbert's Majesty did not know where to go after appearing once, and the whole hall resumed its original bustle.

"Where did you get so much hostility to my uncle?" Thinking of Ludwig's expression just now, which was about to write disgust on his face, Ye Zhao suddenly felt funny.

Ludwig frowned: "You want me to be closer to him?" ”

"No, I didn't mean that......" Ye Zhao suddenly ran out of words, "I mean, why are you suddenly so hostile to him?" ”

After all, that kind of behavior just now can be called extremely faceless to the other party.

What did Ludwig know?

"Not suddenly," replied Ludwig, "and he was very close to Nicklaus. ”

Ye Zhao was surprised: "You know? ”

Ludwig smiled: "Why, in your eyes, I should be the kind of reckless martial artist who doesn't know anything?" ”

Ye Zhao thought for a moment, and then nodded solemnly: Yes.

Ludwig: "......"

He glanced at the corner where Ye Minghao was now, and then leaned into Ye Zhao's ear and whispered, "You have to pay more attention to him in the future, there is something wrong with that person in Nicklaus." ”

After speaking, he ignored Ye Zhao's stunned gaze and kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.

Ye Zhao gradually felt that the situation was getting more and more out of his control. As the so-called "Lord and Peace", Nicklaus has been secretly communicating with the Federation for many years, and he can't wait to join the Federation when the empire has just lost power in the previous generation, which he naturally knows, but the meaning of what Ludwig just said ...... Is that what he thinks?

If Ludwig had already discovered that something was wrong with Nicklaus at this time, did it mean that there were still many things he didn't know?

Ye Zhao's heart felt as if he had been thrown into a huge stone, and the chaos was unsettled. However, because there were many people here and he couldn't ask directly, he couldn't help but be a little absent-minded.

At the end of the song, they walked to the dance floor.

"What's wrong with you?" Ludwig asked.

As soon as Ye Zhao wanted to answer, a large group of people had already walked over in a huge voice, led by the fiery red-haired young man who had been stopped by Sai Feier before.

"General!" They saluted Ludwig in unison, and Ludwig returned the salute.

After putting their hands down, the young generals secretly looked at Ye Zhaolai next to him with curious eyes......

Ye Zhao couldn't help but straighten his waist.

Saffir was among them, and unlike the others, he was looking at Ludwig. As if sensing Sefir's gaze, Ludwig turned his face to him and nodded.

Handsome, upright, with a good temperament, he looks like a good person, and his body should be good, Ye Zhao is really the one below.

Safir was quick to make a decision in grief.

"Michal," Ludwig began, "are you still in the Emperor Star?" ”

"Back to the general, the preparations for conscription will be officially launched in a few days."

Ludwig nodded and didn't speak again, but Ye Zhao and Safir were attracted by the word "conscription" in the sentence just now, and couldn't help asking, "What's going on with conscription." ”

"It is to go to the students of the major military schools to select suitable cadets to join the army, which belongs to direct promotion into the army." Michal explained to them, "Every year we recruit between 3,000 and 5,000 soldiers in this format, and these are the best of the major military schools. ”

Ye Zhao became interested: "Is it possible for students in every grade to participate in the conscription selection?" ”

"This ......" Michal glanced at Ludwig, only to see that the other party nodded and motioned for him to continue directly, and then stopped twisting, "For our troops, in principle, every grade can participate, but because of the comprehensive consideration of all aspects, most schools will still exclude first-year students from the candidates." ”

Hearing this, Safir nodded in understanding, after all, the first-year freshmen had just entered the school, and their strength was inevitably a little weak. Ye Zhao frowned slightly......

Ludwig did not ignore this small gesture of his, he was not the kind of person who was meticulous, but he did not miss any of the actions of the people he cherished.

"Is the primary selection in two and a half months, Michal?"

Michal wanted to reply that he could start in three weeks, but he immediately caught up in his slightly threatening eyes last time, and immediately changed his words: "Yes, two and a half months will be just right." ”

Ludwig smiled at this, and Michal let out a long breath.

Fortunately, I have good eyes and excellent understanding ability...... No, in this case, we have to find a way to explain to the schools that have already started to prepare......=A=

"Do you want to participate?" Ludwig asked softly, bowing his head.

Ye Zhao didn't answer directly, but just asked, "Two and a half months later, you should have returned to the front line, right?" ”

Ludwig's sensory contamination on the battlefield has improved a lot in the past few days, and although he is still a little dull to the outside world at times, it does not affect his daily life.

He nodded.

"I want to try my best." He lifted his face, a look of determination on his face.

Several single dogs around said that they were about to be blinded.

The fiery red-haired young man half-covered his eyes and exclaimed in an extremely exaggerated manner, "Shuni, my dear! Come and heal my heart, oh, I'm about to be hurt by this sweet breath! ”

The feminine-looking general from before glared at him and said to Ludwig: "General, conscription is not child's play. ”

"I know," Ludwig naturally knew what he wanted to say, "no one needs to waterproof him, and if he can't get through, even if he doesn't have the ability to do it himself, you just follow the process." ”

Shuni laughed: "I'm relieved to have your words." ”

"Ye Zhao." Saifei's eyes shining as he stared at Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao: "......" His face suddenly turned red.

At today's dinner, he and Ludwig wore a complete set of dresses, Ludwig was dressed in black and calm, and Ye Zhao was dressed in white, which made him more beautiful and handsome, which was quite a bit made in heaven.

Sefir's eyes were full of praise and he was embarrassed.

"You...... When did you enter the palace today? He asked in a low voice to ease the embarrassment.

"The General sent someone to pick me up." With that, Seffir glanced at Ludwig. Ludwig touched his nose and nodded.

I think that he had mistaken this person for a rival in love, who would have thought that he was Ye Zhao's good "best friend".

He was about to say something more when the sound of cutlery falling to the ground was heard, followed by the screams of women and the roars of animals.

"What's wrong with the spirit body?" Michal frowned.

Due to some reasons, many of the guests present today released their spirit bodies, and in order to ensure the smooth holding of the banquet, a special area was divided into this hall for those spirit animals to rest and adjust. Since the spirit body is different from ordinary beasts, most of them are human, so they do not draw any obvious boundaries.

Ludwig soon heard the loudest of them come from Ares, followed by the barking of wolves and dogs, and one end of the banquet hall was thrown into chaos.

"Could it be that haha and Ares have a conflict?" Ye Zhao frowned.

Ludwig said with certainty: "No." ”

When they walked over, they found that Yehaha and Ares were sitting on top of each other together, and Ares even tried to scratch the head of one of them with his claws.

Leoni, who had just disappeared, was also beside him, touching Ye Haha's head with a smug face: "Good dog." ”

Ye Haha: "...... Woof! "Get out, don't touch my head! Bother!

Rao is Ludwig couldn't help but be a little nervous at the moment, he looked at the two who were pressed under Ares's buttocks and was a little surprised: Nicklaus and Ye Minghao?

There was a hearty laugh from behind the crowd, and it was none other than His Majesty Gilbert, the emperor who had been missing for a long time.
