Rick is "surrounded" by all the women, except for Emma, who are all older than him, and their magic skills are generally much higher than him, which causes him considerable pressure. Ao Ling'er is different, she is two years younger than Rick, and the two are close in age, so they can say some very childish things and do some very childish things. This feeling is not found in anyone else. Therefore, these are the real reasons that prompted Rick to keep Ollinger.

A man and three women sat in a carriage, and Rickton felt like he was in the land of incense. Among the three daughters, Yulu, Rick took her with him for the first time, and went to a grand banquet, which really made her dress up well. Yulu's cheeks were slightly powdered, and the jade surface that originally showed a porcelain-like luster was thus blushed, and the whole person looked as if there was suddenly a trace of fireworks in the world. A narrow long skirt shows off her devilish figure, and the low-cut neckline exposes a large area of snow-white and crystalline crisp breasts to the air, making Rick secretly swallow his saliva. Gyokuro's beauty is different from the other women around Rick, she is like a wild rose growing on a high cliff, cold and arrogant on the outside, and passionate on the inside. Chrissy was also fascinated by Rick's outfit today, she wore a white sleeveless low-shoulder dress, and a pair of elbow-length tulle gloves on her hands, white was the coldest color of the winter night, which made her whole person look more and more unstained with a trace of earthly fireworks. However, Rick was quite critical of her outfit because the low-shouldered dress exposed half of her back in the air. Chrissy wanted to tease him for a while, but seeing him so nervous, her heart was sweet. She took out a cloud-embroidered shawl from behind her and compared it on her shoulder. Just enough to cover the entire back. Rick scratched his head. The old face was flushed.

Ao Ling'er was the most interesting dress tonight, she was petite and immature, so she could neither wear a tight skirt nor a floor-length skirt, Chrissy chose for her, and finally chose a goose yellow knee-length skirt with a loose hem, and a pair of high-legged hollow deer boots on her feet. The whole person looks like a young girl's moving attitude. However, this qiē beauty was shattered by Ao Ling'er's unbridled imagination. She whimsically wanted to put on a veil, like Cagazi. Rick and Chrissy were so impressed by her that they couldn't laugh or cry. You must know that the short skirt and veil make the whole look nondescript, but Ao Ling'er thinks it's ingenious. She herself drew a four-legged animal like a good baby on the piece of fine veil. Rick had carefully asked what it was, and Ao Ling'er said proudly, "Dragon! ”

"Bang! --There are countless corpses around. Rick had thought that her ability to draw was better than her martial arts, but now it seems that there is a need for correction. Ao Ling'er was very dissatisfied with the reaction of Rick and the others, and said with a small mouth: "One day, you will know whether what I said is true or false." Rick didn't want to listen to her refute his own understanding, he was now worried that Ao Ling'er would attend the banquet like this. If you don't want to make a sensation in the audience, you can't do it.

The banquet was held in the spacious banquet hall of the garrison mansion, when the four of Rick arrived. The banquet had not yet begun, but some of the guests had already walked in one after another, and some of the guests were stranded in the garden outside the hall, whispering in groups. There were at least a hundred guests, but Rick looked over and thought it was all fresh faces. However, despite this, they still attract many people's attention, thanks of course to the beauty of Chrissy and Gyokuro, and the strange dress of Ao Ling'er. As for Rick, it also baffled some. Because the invitees to this banquet are either dignitaries or wealthy businessmen, but Rick looks nervous, which makes people suspicious of his identity. Of course, it was not only Rick's group of people who were suspicious, but also some strange guests who arrived one after another, which also made the invited Qingcheng dignitaries secretly puzzled.

Wind Mammoth saw Rick walk into the garden early, but he was too busy to greet Rick. As soon as he was free at this moment, Lao Yuan said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Brother Ji, there are too many guests, and there are many slack." ”

Rick smiled, "Deputy Head Feng is so polite, it's an honor for us to be able to participate in this banquet." ”

Feng Mengna said as he led Rick into a secluded place, and then said, "Brother Ji, to be honest, I don't approve of you coming to this banquet. But the head of the regiment wants to invite you. ”

Rick was surprised: "Why?" ”

"There are some things I don't know how to tell you." Feng Mengna rubbed his hands, as if he couldn't make a decision for a while.

"If it's inconvenient, don't say it."

"Nope." Feng Mengna said with a resolute expression, "But I can only say it simply. Brother Ji, Qingcheng is not the Qingcheng of the past, after several wars, it has become a buffer zone for the forces of various countries, and the control of Qingcheng by the Shang Alliance is not as good as before. To tell the truth, the Qingcheng garrison has long been an ornament, and secretly, this city is controlled by several of its forces. If you want to make some achievements here, you must rely on a powerful force, and the Caiyun Mercenary Group is no exception. Recently, the four northern countries have been plotting to move south, and the Blue Moon Empire has borne the brunt, which has naturally become an obstacle that they must overmove. However, throughout the past two hundred years, there have been dozens of conflicts between Blue Moon and the four northern countries, and the four northern countries have always lost more and won less. A hundred years ago, the Blue Moon Empire built a god-sealed fortress again, and the Xiongguan was in charge, and the four northern countries were even more helpless. Therefore, in recent decades, the four northern countries have been fighting the idea of the Guyun County of the Shang Alliance, because only by occupying the Guyun County can the army of the four countries bypass the Divine Seal Fortress and directly enter the territory of the Blue Moon Empire. A few days ago, the rebellion of Jiamu County of the Blue Moon Empire, the change of ownership of Fenghua City, the attack on Silk City, and the Blue City Rebellion were all led by the four northern countries behind the scenes, and they tried to set off a wave of fear in the Blue Moon Empire, so as to disintegrate the rule of Blue Moon from within. The reason why our mercenary group was attacked late at night was because we did not accept the secret invitation of the four northern countries to participate in the plan to attack Silk City. Of course, this is also related to the background of the Caiyun mercenary group that they learned not long ago, as for what kind of background the mercenary group has, I can't say it yet. Therefore, the banquet was not as simple as it seemed. Brother Ji, you'd better get out as soon as possible. ”

"Thank you." Rick said sincerely, "But I can't get out of it." A few days ago, a man dressed as a businessman came to me and wanted me to release the red-armored woman, but I refused and swallowed his greeting gift. ”

"Now where is the woman in red armor?"

"She won't say anything, and I don't want to let her go, so I have to let her eat and sleep, maybe, one day when I wake up, she will become a beautiful pig."

Wind Mammoth shook his head and smiled bitterly, Rick's reaction was too far from what he expected. Perhaps participating in the battle of the ranch doomed him to not be able to get out of this huge whirlpool.

"Then you have to be careful." Wind Mammoth patted Rick on the shoulder gloomily and began to greet the other guests.

After Feng Meng took it away, Rick sat in the water pavilion in the corner of the garden, thinking about his experience in the Shang Alliance, combined with what Feng Mengna just said, he understood a lot of things, it turned out that he had unknowingly been involved in the struggle between countries. However, it's a fun game, isn't it? It's better than any game I've played before. Rick kept admonishing himself mentally to stay away from this circle of right and wrong, because everyone in this circle held great power, and no matter how powerful the Nymph Divine Guard was, it was impossible to confront the thousands of regular troops of a country. However, in the depths of his heart, there is a hidden desire that is prompting him to change this decision, there is nothing bolder and more exciting than the game between countries, don't you want the color of life to be more brilliant, aren't you looking for the purpose of life? There is one in front of me, the so-called life is like a play, what could be more interesting than this game? He is about to go to Bo Yingte, the capital of the Blue Moon Empire, to Xia Hua? Isn't it a sign that Pemon is getting closer to the heart of the game? Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that his whole body and mind were relaxed.

The banquet finally began in anticipation. In the territory of the Red Eagle Business Alliance, there are two forms of banquets: social and sedentary. If there are many visitors but with a modest status, it is usually social, with guests standing in the lobby surrounded by hearty food, attendants shuttling through the crowd to bring drinks or drinks to the guests, and if necessary, a band, and a huge dance hall in the middle. It is said that the custom of dancing at this banquet was introduced to the Shang League from the Tabuziqi Empire. If there are fewer visitors, but the status is noble, then take the seat type, that is, the guests bring their personal generals or attendants to sit in separate seats, facing the hall door on one side of the main seat, left and right sides of the guest seats, depending on the identity of the guests, the number of families, can be added on both sides. The so-called seat is actually just a long case, with a few cushions placed behind it. Generally speaking, the purpose of a separate banquet is not to invite others to dinner, but to discuss important matters, and the name "banquet" is just a formality.

The banquet took the form of a combination of the two, the outer hall was social, and the inner hall was divided into seats. Rick was confusedly invited to the inner hall by a maid and sat at the back of the seat on the left. Rick looked around, and there were fifteen seats in the entire inner hall, three on the north side of the house, and six seats on the east and west sides, and Rick sat on the sixth seat on the west side, and Chriss, Gyokuro, and Ao Ling'er sat next to him.

When Rick entered the inner hall, the guests had reached nearly seventy percent, except for the three seats of the main family, only Rick was left with the second seat, and the guests from the first and sixth seats opposite had not arrived. Rick looked around and saw that several of the guests were familiar faces: he had seen the guests at the third and fourth tables opposite, the third seat was the blessed fat man, and on the other table sat several rough men dressed as nomads, just a few of them he had seen in the restaurant of the Tianxiang Inn. On Rick's side, he had seen the guests in the third and fifth seats. Rick's first seat, that is, the fifth seat, sat a leisurely couple, the same couple he had seen in the restaurant of the Tianxiang Inn; The host and guest on the fifth seat, the half-aged who was dressed in a bewitching dress and still had charm, he had never seen it, but beside her sat two delicate-skinned scholars, an old man and a young man, Rick had seen it, and the old scholar once claimed to be the apologetic of the Moon Sect and the Light Division. Aside from these four seats, the others were all strangers to Rick. (To be continued......)
