"Don't do it just yet."

A deep voice sounded in the shadows split by the light: "Why? ”

"My gut feeling." He took the cup away from his lips and put it back on the coffee table, both in terms of position and the direction of the handle, but the coffee inside was gone: "And his confidence." ”

With that, he got up from the couch and walked back into the light.

The figure on the carpet disappeared like a fluctuating silk thread, swaying a few times, and the light pouring on the pansy also retracted into shadow.

Calm returned to the small hall.

The banquet was also calm.

Whether it is the graceful and luxurious Queen Elizabeth, or the seated Majesty the King, or the princes and their princesses below, they all bow their heads, put the food in front of them into their mouths with soothing movements, chew them as carefully as if they were their own fingernails, and occasionally pick up a long napkin to dip the food residue at the corner of their lips.

said that it was a banquet, but in fact the scale was not large, the king and queen, several princes and close ministers, as well as their families, plus Tang Fang, Elena, and Kylynia.

Of course, the meal is only a symbolic meaning, representing that His Majesty the King has met 2 people and initially recognizes Elena's identity.

In Tang Fang's view, this kind of dinner is the least tasteful, although those dishes are rare, and many of them are things that have never been seen before, such as mulberry fruit from Kuhasu Star, special flying caviar from Kehana Star, and black truffles from the Kulen Mountains of Natasha Star......

But the quietness and depression mixed in these precious dishes make people feel sick to their stomachs.

Zangowell and Henrietta were well-known rivals, and now they ate at the same table, as did Captain Don.

It's not that everyone doesn't have a topic to talk about, politics and military aside, they still have many interests and hobbies, such as the Phoenix Empire's Soul Hunter-class light assault ships. For example, the liquid body armor of the Charles Federation, as well as luxury sports such as hunting, riding, and pet fighting.

It's just that there is no nutrition, they are all not salty and light, and they are looking for topics to talk about.

Captain Tang never had the spare time to pursue such luxurious life enjoyments, nor did the nobles be knowledgeable and buried themselves in eating the dishes on their plates most of the time. Then he will always be kicked awake by Kylynia, or pick up the wine glass with white grapes in front of him, or the wine glass with red wine, and wish the king and queen good health, eternal prosperity, and wish the regent many blessings and longevity, and wish the kingdom Heqing Haiyan, anyway, how can there be no nutrition.

Elena has always behaved well, talking and laughing with Gilcott's wife and Tramon's wife. Mainly to talk about the customs of Charles Commonwealth, and those good-looking clothes and Charlotte? Quinn's life gossip.

During the banquet, Trist entered the room and whispered to Hymn Will for a while, and then, the depression that permeated the room slowly subsided, like the warm days of winter and spring melting the cold-soaked earth little by little.

Tang Fang's conversation with Zanggowell was limited to the politeness before entering the table and the thanks before leaving, and the rest of the time, he either ate the food on the plate without grace, or stared at Kelenia. Silent protests and vicious curses.

After a meal, she kicked him no less than 20 times. If it weren't for the 1 trillion star coins given by Henrietta and the 7,500 tons of zero elements temporarily raised by the 23rd Ranger Regiment, he would have flipped the table a long time ago.

Kelynia called it aristocratic etiquette, and he scoffed at it.

It's a dinner party, but you don't let you eat enough; A slogan is shouted before a toast; Sit in a straight position, not against the back of the chair; The cups in front of you are arranged in order; Pay attention to personal hygiene at all times. Otherwise, it is disrespectful to the master; Do not talk about sensitive topics such as work and politics; You can't snub the women around you; Standardize the use of words, and it is best to keep a smile when talking...... What's even more outrageous is that you can't go to the bathroom!

Is it eating or suffering? It's obviously just a royal family banquet, so don't be so nitpicky.

It is said that the court etiquette of the United Kingdom of Turanx has been simplified, if it were replaced by the Phoenix Empire and the Sauron Empire...... He couldn't imagine how the big nobles could get used to it.

At a time of tension between the Sauron Empire and the United Kingdom of Turanx. Some members of the royal family ridiculed the Olybold family as a group of countrymen with no background, for example, the real nobles, the decorations in the palace are either passed down from their ancestors, or won from their opponents, and snatched from their enemies, instead of spending a lot of money to buy them to show off their wealth, which is called nouveau riche, not nobles.

In fact, he has been waiting for Zanggowell to make a move, knowing that the palace of Hal is the territory of the new forces.

His Majesty would not dare to touch Gilcoat and Henrietta, as it would detonate a war between the Lionheart's Independent Fleet and the 23rd Ranger Regiment, and even more so would cause chaos throughout the country.

He is different, he does not have the same energy as Henrietta, and the only one who came to "Kehanos" is the "Angel", and the cluster of living warships did not follow, so he can set up an ambush at this dinner party and take out a henchman like himself.

Logically, he had enough to threaten the throne of Zangowell, and perhaps he would have a backup somewhere else, and if he died, those backups would be released by someone who had arranged for him.

In the face of this situation, others will definitely be helpless, and can only become meat on the chopping board and let him slaughter.

It's a pity that the man sitting in that gorgeous chair is Zanggowill, who has the dark power of God's armed forces, and can completely control him, and then use technology to obtain what is in his head.

This kind of thing must not be difficult for God to arm.

Once His Majesty has a lot of information, he can naturally move mountains and attack jade and settle things.

Even if you don't use the above methods, what is God's armed for? Cloning is also a killer feature.

But until the dinner was over, nothing happened.

The women went to another room for tea, while the men returned to their original lounge for a short rest.

He saw that the coffee cup placed on Tramon's right hand was empty, and His Royal Highness stayed for a while without letting the waiter refill it.

Henrietta whispered something to Gilcott.

Taryn raised his head from time to time, swept Tang Fang's indifferent face, lowered his head again, and quietly fiddled with the ring on his hand.

As when he came, he remained silent, as if he were restrained. It was like a shame to talk to the princes, and anyway, for whatever reason, the lounge that was supposed to be ringing with the men's high-pitched talk did not become enthusiastic.

Even alcohol can't stir up the flamboyance in their hearts and dispel each other's wariness.

The soft light fell on the brightly colored carpet, and the pansies were a little less delicate. A little more coquettish, the mellow aroma of coffee permeated the room, diluting the smell of wine from the princes' breaths.

The coffee that Zangowell used to entertain the dignitaries was precious, and tasted far better than what Christian had given him when he was in Babylon.

He didn't spend all his mind on drinking coffee, and it took a lot of effort for the ghost sent out to spy on the information to infiltrate the data room of the Hal Palace. Strangely, the seemingly well-guarded facility did not store much useful information, only non-classified documents such as letters from the palace and various departments, daily government affairs, living expenses, and border defense situations, without any information related to the armed forces of God.

It can be seen from this. What a cautious man Zang Gowell was, and there was probably a more secure and secret place to store those classified documents and information about the armed forces of God, after all, the political struggle between the old and new factions in the United Kingdom of Turanks had been going on for so many years, and how could it be that he was as shrewd as His Majesty the King.

In fact, it is not all without gains, the closed-circuit surveillance system of the Hal Palace photographed Mr. J's figure, although there is not enough evidence to determine his true identity, eighty percent of them are inseparable from the divine forces.

And then according to the model of the shuttle he was on. As well as the information that Emma obtained from the many space-based unmanned platforms in the high-altitude orbit of the "Cabreto", it is certain that it came from the "Nasero". The place of origin should be on the outskirts of the planet's capital city of Gandagas.

This is consistent with Henrietta's information that there are signs of activity of the Divine Forces in "Nasero".

He also took advantage of the break to pay attention to the situation of Claire and the others.

The girls are also shopping for those beautiful and fun gadgets in the night market, with Bai Hao and Roy protecting them, as well as ghosts and detectors on their go, so naturally there is nothing to worry about.

Egger? Stetelman was haggling with the small vendors in the electronics parts market, and he couldn't even break it into an eight-petal flower for 1 yuan...... Claire obviously gave him a credit card with an overdraft limit of 200,000.

The strangest thing is Byron, after borrowing 2 ghosts from Tang Fang. By hacking into the data host of the "Dekaben" municipal system, the identity information and addresses of some women were found, and then the search operation began.

At first, he suspected that the women were trafficked by Alice from other countries, and Byron intended to get them out of the fire pit, after all, when they were in Georgia. It was he who destroyed Alice's lair and obtained a lot of information about human trafficking, not to mention that he himself said that he was a feminist, which is normal.

But as time passed, such thoughts were thrown away by Tang Fang, and there was a very speechless emotion lingering in his heart, and even the expression on his face became very strange.

So much so that the waiter who was holding coffee next to him looked trembling, worried about whether he had eviled the famous Captain Tang.

Although he has been silent, and his status is not as honorable as that of His Royal Highnesses, there is no doubt that he is the protagonist of today's banquet, including in the banquet hall, even if the king and queen are present, they still can't hide his demeanor...... Or casual, it can also be called undignified, in short, it is very eye-catching.

Tang Fang didn't drink the second cup of coffee because it was time for the drinking party.

The ladies were led back to the lounge by Elizabeth and downstairs, talking and laughing along the way, in stark contrast to the men.

Tang Fang just sneered, thinking that it was really "the tail needle of the wasp, the most poisonous woman's heart", these women are really acting one by one. Fortunately, Elena had Kelinia by her side, which made him feel much more at ease, otherwise, he really didn't worry about the little girl being in the same room with those mothers-in-law.

His Majesty did not attend the reception, and under the pretext that he had drunk too much during the dinner and was not in good health, he sent Trist to lead the people downstairs to have fun.

He knew very well that "drinking too much and not being well" was just an excuse for missing the drinking party.

According to Tang's speculation, it was only because Mr. J disobeyed Zanggowill's order and did not cause trouble during the dinner, and His Majesty the King was busy going to Xingshi to ask for the guilt. Or maybe they're going to do it during the party, but ...... There are so many nobles below, and there are many people, is it really suitable to do it?

Anyway, he just had to wait and see what happened, and then go with the flow. Originally, he used himself as bait to lure God's armed people into the bait.

Of course, he would have preferred to see Zanggowell do it before and after the canonization ceremony, because he hadn't done all the scraps at Battleship Pier 13 yet, and deep down he was very resistant to going to Battleship Pier 13 in person.

What are you afraid of? Or is it something that comes from those bad premonitions? Is there a bomb on it? Praise Will will not hesitate to sacrifice 2W tons of zero elements to blow himself up?

While he was thinking wildly, the hall burst into applause. It turned out that Queen Elizabeth was introducing Elena to the many nobles present.

She stood on the red carpet, wearing a silver-white evening gown, with many beautiful laces and brilliant pink diamonds on her chest, and in the light of the huge chandelier on the ceiling, she looked like a pearl that was so clean that it was intoxicating.

The young baron fixed his gaze on her delicate face with a hint of immaturity, while a few older officials looked at her pink neck, round shoulders, and white arms with impunity.

She wore long gloves on her hands that were as white as her dress, making her look more slender and white.

It was the first time that Elena had stood in front of so many dignitaries. Although she was mentally prepared, Kelinia also kept reminding her to relax and not to be nervous, but she was still inevitably a little restrained, and the smile on her lips was not so natural.

Tang Fang frowned, lightly picked up his leather boots, and stepped on the heel of a prince named Ankatri, taking advantage of the man's turn. Cut to the front suddenly.

His Royal Highness the Prince has always been pampered, when has he ever encountered such a thing. His physical fitness was much worse than that of Captain Tang, and he was squeezed out of the front row very bluntly and fell behind.

Tramon clenched his fists, the light of the chandelier flickering in his eyes.

Tang Fang squinted and sneered: "If you do it here, you will die a miserable death." ”

Taryn heard the two talking, and the V-shaped laugh lines on both sides of his mouth seemed to be frozen. The encounter with the first layer of warp speed interception net told him that this kid's words were true, and he could do what he said.

Tramont looked up at the delicate gold reliefs and brocade patterns. Forcefully calm the killing intent in your heart.

He was not afraid, but because his brother "said" that it was not yet time......

The commotion behind the front guests was not very clear, but the appearance of a new face attracted their attention, and there was no doubt that this guy with yellow skin and black eyes was the other protagonist today, Captain Tang of "Morning Star Casting".

The aristocrats cast different emotions into their gazes, some curious, some despised, some jealous, some fearful, and some calm...... There are no kind people.

Several of them were even more disgusted with him, and their eyes were full of murderous intent that could not be concealed -- they were either friends with the head of the "Kehanos" Customs Administration, or they were related to the Singh family.

It is normal for stakeholders on the same hill to always like to hold together.

Tang Fang deliberately tried to pull hatred, and although Kelinia kept telling him not to do it, he still did it.

Because it can share the pressure of Elena.

Several princes and the nobles and ministers below didn't think so, and simply thought that he wanted to be in the limelight, just like what he did on the first layer of warp speed interception nets, he liked Zhang Yang, and was ashamed to be low-key.

However...... This can only arouse disgust and spurt, and has no aristocratic bearing and character at all.

"Miss Elena marrying such a person is such a beautiful flower on the stench of horse manure."

A noblewoman answered, "Dear Lord Small, I think you and Miss Elena are a good match. ”

The former shook his head and said with a smile: "Oh, you are wrong, Mrs. Nigras, Miss Elena is like a moon in the sky, her beauty needs to hang high in the sky, and I would rather be one of those who look up to her brilliance." ”

That being said, the light in his eyes betrayed his inner thoughts, and His Excellency was immersed in pride and enjoyment.

His grandfather was the Grand Duke of Urs, a man more powerful than Tripati, and only a little weaker than the powerful princes, so that he was worthy of being Elena's husband, not the dirty countryman above.

No matter how much a person like Tang Fang does, he is only regarded as a species of Riba by the nobles who think they are noble, and then they stay away.

When Elizabeth officially introduced Elena's identity, people only thought that she would become the master of the Duchy of Kernar, a younger and more beautiful baroness than Duke Edwina.

Because they have no goodwill towards the Tang side, only hostility, fear and jealousy.

He wasn't worthy of Elena.

This is everyone's cognition, even some people who are not confused, such as Turamon, such as the ambassador of the Monya Empire, such as Jodno, such as Bansed, the son of Duke Finney, only think that this is a political marriage, an exchange of interests, and Tang Fang and Elena just take what they need.

Of course, the girl herself thinks so, but one thing she knows very well is that Tang Fang's behavior just now is not a flamboyant behavior that the nobles and officials discuss in private, or pretend to be arrogant, unless necessary, he has always been willing to keep a low profile, because only by hiding it well can he be very happy.

Captain Tang has always been a little fox curled up, not a big-tailed wolf with his head held high.

What's more, Kylinia had been admonishing him all the way to keep a low profile, no matter how low he was, since Zangowell had not done it in the banquet hall, it was unlikely that he would do it in the hall, and if he didn't want to cause trouble for himself, he would stay quietly in a corner and drink quietly, or continue the glorious and great mission of filling his stomach. (To be continued......)
