Zhang Lin is very satisfied with this room, for the fatigue of the journey, he can relax a little, and he still has to go to the dance party at night, otherwise who knows what kind of things those noble ladies will do, now he is in trouble, and he also wants to see what the situation is in the imperial capital, this is a good opportunity!
Zhang Lin is lying on the soft bed! He fell asleep.
In the afternoon, Zhang Lin went out to buy an evening dress, wore it on his body, and sorted out his image in front of the mirror, after all, it was a gathering of nobles, and he attached more importance to this etiquette and image, so he spent more thought, and he had to find out which families were unfavorable to him in these nobles!
At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Lin appeared in the VIP room of the Imperial Capital Hotel on time, and not many people came! Several aristocratic young masters watched Zhang Lin come in, showing a kind smile, and at the same time raised their wine glasses to signal, Zhang Lin picked up a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray, toasted to the aristocratic young masters just now, and finally raised his head to finish the wine, walked towards the few noble young masters, and listened to the tone a little.
"How many people know about Zhang Lin?"
"Oh, you're talking about Zhang Lin who commanded the Second Fleet of the Empire, I heard that he came to the imperial capital and will participate in this ball, I don't know if he's here now." Those noble young masters were also very curious about this, and said to Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin smiled secretly in his heart: "I think he should still come!" I wonder what you think of him? ”
"He's a hero, I admire him, but this time he shouldn't come to the imperial capital, I heard that the Reagan family and the Edward family are very dissatisfied with him, because those two families are developing in the military department, Zhang Lin entered the military department at such a young age, and they are afraid that it will be bad for his juniors! There are also a few families who are just watching the excitement, and if they have the opportunity to fall into the well by the way, it is really despicable and insidious! "These aristocratic young masters still have a sense of justice in their hearts, and they all feel unfair for Zhang Lin.
"Isn't there anyone going to stop this from happening?" Zhang Lin asked
"Yes, but it doesn't have much effect, these families are very powerful, and some people who consider the interests of the empire dare not speak out!" A few aristocratic sons said. 、
"I wonder if you know which families it is?"
"There are the Reagan family, and the Edward family, they are all uncrowned royal families of the empire, and their power is deep-rooted, and His Majesty the Emperor sometimes turns a blind eye to their actions, after all, there are too many things involved, and His Majesty also feels tricky, as long as there are no major problems, His Majesty will not ask!"
"But do you think Your Majesty won't ask about Zhang Lin's affairs? After all, it is a new star in the imperial military world, much stronger than those waste wood that relies on the shadow of their ancestors! ”
"Shhhh You keep quiet, do you know, the little overlord of the imperial capital is back, if he hears it, you look good! ”
These aristocratic young masters said, no longer talking about Zhang Lin, and each of them talked about interesting things in the imperial capital. When Zhang Lin heard this, he also understood some of the situation, and had some general certainty in his heart, now he can't ask more, asking more will cause others to be suspicious, thinking of this, Zhang Lin picked up the red wine and walked to the corner of the hall, sat down on a sofa, gently shook the wine glass in his hand, closed his eyes and recuperated! I even remembered the naming of my Edward, it turned out that there was this family!
"You're so laid-back, didn't you know that a catastrophe was coming?" A pleasant voice interrupted Zhang Lin's thoughts.
"It's you!" Zhang Lin looked at this beautiful figure and got up briskly, "Please take a seat!" ”
"Hello, take the liberty of interrupting! My name is Tang Xue. After speaking, Tang Xue sat elegantly on the sofa opposite Zhang Lin, looked at Zhang Lin, and became curious about this grinning boy, wanting to see what he relied on to appear so calm, "Have you thought of a way to get out?" ”
Zhang Lin smiled bitterly and touched his chin, "No, the two major families of the empire want to deal with me, and I don't have any way to deal with the past easily, but if I am flustered now, I definitely don't even have a chance, it's better to stay calm, maybe I can seize the opportunity to get out!" ”
Tang Xue was stunned for a moment, it turned out that she underestimated the handsome guy in front of her, "Yes, I was abrupt, I can still see the enemy's intentions if I stay calm, at least I can see the moves, I don't know if Mr. Zhang Lin has thought of relying on a certain family, so it will be easy to get through this time!" Tang Xue tilted her head and looked at Zhang Lin a little mischievously, "Don't you know?" Without the support of the forces behind you, it is difficult for you to go far in the military world, after all, the current situation, several families do not want to change because of your appearance, the current situation is formed by long-term struggle, and several families are secretly competing! After Tang Xue finished speaking, she deliberately clicked on the contradictions of several families, hoping that Zhang Lin could take advantage of it!
Zhang Lin glanced at Tang Xue gratefully, "Thank you, I know, but now no family dares to grasp the recruitment, after all, doing so will put them on the cusp of the storm, I think except for His Majesty the Emperor, no one dares to protect me, everything has to rely on myself......"
A clear piece of music interrupted Zhang Lin's words, the surrounding noble young masters had already begun to invite the surrounding noble ladies to start dancing, Tang Xue looked at Zhang Lin, and her red lips moved, "Doesn't Mr. Zhang Lin invite me to dance?" ”
"Call me Zhang Lin, it sounds awkward to call Mr. Zhang Lin, I wanted to invite Miss Tang Xue to dance, but I won't, I have only dealt with battleships all this time, and I have never participated in this kind of dance." Zhang Lin stretched out his hands helplessly for Tang Xue's question, he couldn't do it and couldn't help it!
"It's okay, I can teach you!" Tang Xuewan smiled at Zhang Lin, Zhang Lin was a little dazed, and gently pulled Zhang Lin up with his snow-white and soft boneless hands and walked to the dance floor.
The noble young master and noble lady who were dancing with the dance music around watched Tang Xue pull Zhang Lin into the dance floor, and were a little stunned, the imperial capital Ice Rose had never danced with other boys, today I don't know if that guy has such a great charm, let Miss Tang Xue, who is beautiful and noble all over the imperial capital, pull to dance, it is too ungentlemanly, those noble young masters are indignant in their hearts!
Tang Xue kept carrying Zhang Lin's shoulder with one hand, and with the other hand, he took Zhang Lin's hand around his soft and tight little waist, and then began to walk lightly on the dance floor, and instructed Zhang Lin to follow his pace!
Zhang Lin has been holding Tang Xue's small waist, and one hand gently pinched the soft and boneless little hand, a little helpless, but Zhang Lin is also used to seeing strong winds and waves, so he quickly adjusted his mentality and began to walk around according to the method given to him by Tang Xue!
