It wasn't until the waiter walked up to him and led the two into the square that the people gathered near the central planter noticed the new guests.

Many people saw VIVI beside "Elena", their pupils suddenly shrank, and then they looked at the man in black with a shocked gaze.

"It's him!"

"Why is he here?"

"What do you mean by Small?"

“……”

Similar voices of discussion fermented in the crowd.

Some movie fans carefully looked at Tang Fang's outfit and the mask with an exaggerated expression, and suddenly remembered something, and one by one they became full of resentment.

"Vendetta Squad."

Someone called out the origin of Tang Fang's outfit.

Many people are at a loss about this, after all, it is an old movie more than 200 years ago, and with the changes of history, too many people have forgotten those classic screen images.

"V Vendendtta" is not like "Batman", "Superman", "Transformers" and other IPs that can create huge commercial value, let alone David? Duf, Yikun Palace, and Hennessy, which have been inherited from ancient times and are well-known commodity brands, are not a national culture or social tradition.

After a long time, it has been forgotten by more and more people, buried in the crumbs of time, and sealed in the dust.

There are very few people who know it, but as long as they know it, they will have a deep memory of that face.

"Guy? Fox", someone said the prototype of this face.

So those children of the aristocracy who were familiar with world history in order to gain sufficient political sensitivity remembered the famous gunpowder conspiracy, and also understood the ironic significance of Tang Fang's appearance with this image.

In 1605 A.D., Guy? Fox and his companions planted 36 barrels of explosives under the Capitol in an attempt to blow up the then brutal dictatorship, but the plan was revealed. He was hanged by King James I of England on November 5 of that year.

Next, an insider told the content of the movie "V Vendtta" to the surrounding people in a summary form, so more and more people knew the meaning of the mask.

All here are the descendants of the great families of the United Kingdom of Tulanx, the true Stone of Horus, the future power. But Tang Fang appeared among them with such a face and such a dress. Isn't that ironic?

This is not only ironic, but can also be seen as a provocation by Captain Tang to the royal power and his disregard for the descendants of those in power.

Claire knew what his actions meant, which is why she said those things before he left.

Someone was angry and clucked his glass; Some people sneered again and again, thinking that Captain Tang could only bring humiliation on himself by doing this, which made the people present hate him even more; Some people have a fierce light in their eyes, and there are bursts of killing intent in their hearts; There are also people who complain that Small is not doing things well, knowing that this kid is a thorn. but they called him together.

Some squinted at a man wearing a sword at his waist, chain mail, and a battle robe near the stone carving at the entrance of the palace.

It was none other than the Marquis de Servis, who was smashed off the bridge of his nose by Captain Tang at a drinking party held by Queen Elizabeth.

Small invited these two enemies at the anniversary ball of the Stone of Horus at the same time, so he wasn't afraid of causing any trouble?

As a result, Servis became the focus of attention...... To be precise, it was the scar on the bridge of his nose that could still be distinguished. It carries people's eyes that contain different feelings and different thoughts.

A knight. It represents loyalty and bravery, and is the guardian of royal power and the vassal of the king.

A fighter, meaning rebellion and freedom, is an enemy of the kingship and an opponent of the king.

A noble son of the wall-riding faction said: "There will be a good show to watch next." ”

Although Servis and Tang Fang did not meet, let alone speak, there was an invisible atmosphere of opposition fermenting between the two.

Do knights draw swords?

Will the fighters rise up?

This guy Small. Sure enough, I didn't have a good heart!

A bearded man wearing the captain's uniform of the Age of Exploration leaned over to Tang Fang's side and said in a very helpless tone: "I knew that you guy wouldn't be an honest spectator, and he always had to make a little mess to enjoy it." ”

Tang Fang looked at him carefully a few times before he recognized who the bearded man was: "Lord Sambat." It turns out that you have been here a long time ago. ”

Senbart wiped a few drops of wine from his beard: "I thought it would be better to help you play the front station, who knew you would play such a hand." ”

He smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know that doing this is tantamount to pushing everyone present against you?" I wanted to introduce you to a few friends, but now I don't dare to come. ”

"Didn't you come here?" Tang Fang said indifferently: "If you do this, you will offend many people." ”

"Yes, it will offend a lot of people...... "How can you compensate me?" said Sembart. ”

Tang Fang took a glass of wine from the waiter's hand, touched the wine glass in his hand, and raised his head to drink.

Sambart shook his head and drank the rest of the wine from his glass.

The two of them were talking about salty jokes as if no one was around, and the people around them were in different moods.

Many people know that as early as Elizabeth's reception, the two had a brief conversation, which was later interrupted by the Marquis de Servis. Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the Tang side and the Duke of Tucsanne have formed a united front, otherwise, how could Lord Sembart, who has a high political sensitivity, ignore the negative impact and openly stand with Captain Tang, who provokes the royal power, on such an occasion?

Most people are not surprised by this situation. Tucsona's territory is close to the Star Alliance, and it is a veteran of the wall-riding faction, and the two sides have a sufficient political and geographical foundation to form a united front.

From Tucsona's point of view, he must hope that Tang Fang can become the leader of the wall-riding faction, and at the same time, he can also follow the example of Small's grandfather, Archduke Luls, and maintain an ambiguous relationship with the growing Star Alliance, so as to ensure that he can gain a foothold in the political chaos of the United Kingdom of Turanks.

Of course, as a duke, he still has to respect the royal power on the surface, and of course the old man will not stand up and shout for the Tang side in person, so he can only be done by Sambut.

This anniversary celebration ball of the Horus Stone was a good opportunity to show his attitude to the outside world, even if Tang Fang dressed like this to humiliate the noble children present, Sambart had to stand up because he had to do it. Who knows if there is still such a shop in this village.

Only Tang Fang knew in his heart that Tucenna had not fully agreed to his conditions, and the deep meaning behind Senbart's doing so was somewhat intriguing.

At the beginning, Valenrian's unlock made him realize a problem, why was Sambart able to let Sister Logic expand the new hero? The biggest possibility is that the two have something in common.

The little prince had a more enlightened heart than his father, Mengsk. And what about Sambat? Do you have such qualities?

Emma once provided him with a document, it is said that Sambart had traveled to many countries to study, and also had an unforgettable love affair with a girl in the Charles Federation, but because of her mother's obstruction, the relationship ended without a problem, and finally had to return to the United Kingdom of Tulanx, and chose the granddaughter of Duke Ilham, who was also a wall-riding lord, as his wife.

At the end of the document, there is a news story sifted through fragments of online data, quoted from a Charles federal media outlet.

It was to the effect that Sembat was recalled to the country by his mother. Not long after he was ordered to cut ties with the girl, the woman could not bear the mental blow and jumped from her residence in the early hours of one morning, killing herself on the spot.

Over the years, although Sambart has not said anything or shown anything, the outside world generally accepts rumors that he is estranged from his mother.

Others regard this matter as aristocratic gossip and Duke Tucsona's family scandal, but Tang Fang is different.

Just like Congreve when he formed a military alliance in the Hillenbuir countries. In the process of uniting against the Jupiter expeditionary force, he saw and heard the same, but I am afraid that Sambat has experienced such a thing. His outlook on life and values have changed greatly, which has led to him today, knowing that Tucena has not agreed to those conditions, but he chose to force his father in this way.

Of course, outsiders do not know the complicated relationship between Tangfang-Sembart-Tucsona, and seeing Sembart's statement on such an occasion, it is natural to think that the two sides have reached some kind of consensus.

Perhaps it was Sambart's example that played a role. It may also be that due to the situation, the lords of the wall-riding faction had no choice, and after hesitating for a moment, the nobles still chose to come over and meet Tang Fang.

"Elena" under his instructions. Leave the area where the men gather and walk towards the trestle over the clear lake.

Servis, who was standing in front of the sculpture, swept the back of "her", and then looked at Tang Fang who was shrouded in darkness, with a layer of frost on his face, but he didn't get mad on the spot, and he was still gossiping with several noble children belonging to the new forces.

Tang Fang sensed the killing intent coming from the front of the steps, but he didn't see Cerves' action, knowing that today's protagonist would not be him.

It seems that things are not as some people have speculated, and Small deliberately provoked their rivals to sit back and watch the fight, lighting a revelry for the anniversary celebration of the Stone of Horus.

The next scene confirmed his suspicions.

When the light of the phantom sky faded, various artistic lamps were lit in the palace and the square.

The trestle bridge leading to the pavilion in the center of the lake is like a long river of light, and countless light chips fall, floating and sinking on the water surface, reflecting people's faces.

Under the moonlight and the light of the lights, the colorful costumes became more and more colorful and beautiful, and the breeze blew the beautiful lace edges of the women and the cloaks of the men, and the music sent an ambiguous feeling.

On the stone steps illuminated by the palace lamp, a group of people slowly walked down.

Sambart looked at one of the men in a magician's costume and said, "Small is here." ”

"I know."

Although he said yes, his gaze did not stay on Small's face for a second, but fell on the last person in the group who did not have makeup, and the cold light in his eyes became more and more intense.

Although it was far away and the lights on both sides of the stone steps were not bright, he recognized the identity of the man, who was Elena's titular uncle, Reeves? Quenar - The last remaining senator of the Duchy of Knard against the reformers.

He once warned Zanggo Will that he didn't want to see Reeves in "Kehanos" when the joint council was in session. I didn't think that Praise Will didn't take in the old fellow, but Small treated him as a guest.

No wonder Servis remained silent when he saw him.

If you want to say that the hatred is deep and the hatred is deep, of course, the Marquis is not as good as that person.

He's looking at Reeves, and Reeves is watching him. The eyes of the two men met in mid-air, and there were fires that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

Sambart also noticed the unadorned face, frowned and said, "Why is he here." ”

The people who were toasting in the square stopped talking. Looking at the flow of people walking slowly at the end of the stone steps, his gaze was complicated.

There are schadenfreude, expressionless, worried, and at a loss.

Several celebrities gathered around "Elena" flashed to the side, exposing her directly in front of the stone steps. Face the crowd walking down above.

Everyone knows that there is a good show to watch today.

What His Majesty did not dare to do, Small did.

Reeves is a person who has been labeled as colluding with the Supreme Security Council, praising Will as the spokesman of the royal power, he does not dare to have anything to do with him, everyone thinks that he has been deported, or living an incognito life, in any case, he did not expect that he would hook up with Small.

Isn't Your Excellency the Lord afraid of implicating the Archduke of Luls behind him?

"Elena" walked towards the crowd.

The descendants of the Wall Riding Sect lords beside Tang Fang also flashed to the side. so as not to burn yourself.

The square, which had been bustling with people just now, suddenly became unusually quiet, and even the sound of the wind blowing his clothes could be heard.

Among the people who came down the stone steps, there were several royal children at the front, including the 7th prince Jasper, who went to "Aradell" to attend Congreve's funeral, but was given a dismount by Kelenia? Olipod.

These people are the real core of the Horus Stone, and in comparison, Small's identity is a little shorter, so he can only walk in the back. Reeves is naturally more marginalized.

However, at this moment, the focus of everyone's attention is not the true core. But it's the marginal character.

Jasper glanced at Tang Fang and Sembart, turned around and walked directly towards Servis, and the other princes also looked for friends to talk about Fengyue.

If you follow the process of previous years, the organizer should give a speech first, followed by a few exciting events. For example, in the popular trial of courage in the aristocratic circle of the Monya Empire, for example, arrange some CHU women who have specialized in ventriloquism to compete whose staying power is better.

But not today.

Small didn't repeat the speeches of his predecessors without nutrition, nor did he arrange those exciting programs, what he brought today was a big show. Including Jasper? Olypot, Servis? Guarin, Sambat? Doyle and others, all of them are spectators.

It's a big show that money can't buy tickets.

Being able to "invite" Captain Tang and Miss Elena to play such a scene is not something that just one person can do.

This is a testament to Lord Small's extraordinary abilities and means, and this anniversary celebration is definitely the most unique and impressive since the establishment of the Horus Stone.

In other words, the honorable Lord Small used Captain Tang, Elena, and Reeves as grandiose monkeys to show off his identity and abilities.

Of course, he doesn't say what he really thinks in his heart, and if he is as smart as he is, he will of course change to a gentler way, using the monkey while making the monkey grateful to him.

"Mr. Tang, I'm so glad you came to this ball." After greeting him very politely, he pointed to Reeves at the back of the crowd and said, "I heard that there is a little family conflict between Miss Elena and Count Reeves, and it is a little unpleasant. In the end, it is a family, breaking bones and connecting tendons, and now it happens to catch up with such a good opportunity, why don't you just look at my thin noodles, how about everyone shaking hands and making peace? ”

As soon as these words came out, many people's faces changed slightly, and they secretly scolded Small for being vicious.

In doing so, he put himself in the position of a peacemaker, both morally and reasonably, with good intentions, and others at most say that he is nosy, and cannot use more vicious words to describe his behavior at this moment.

The point is, Elena and Reeves...... Is it possible to reconcile Tang and Reeves, exactly? It's almost impossible.

Small didn't mention Tang Fang in what he said just now, but took Elena as the main party, and oppressed people with the righteousness of family, ancestors, and blood, but this sentence was said to Tang Fang.

What is he going to do? Anger the Tang side? So that the other party can buckle a big hat of disloyalty, unfilial piety, and unkindness?

Everyone present knew that the matter of "Aradell" was the contradiction between Tang Fang and Reeves, the confrontation between reformers and anti-reformers, and he preferred to avoid reality and turn the problem into a conflict between Elena and Reeves, and a conflict between his niece and uncle.

According to common sense, Tang Fang, as a niece and son-in-law, is an outsider and a junior. When facing your uncle, no matter who is right or wrong, you must first give three points.

If the Tang side relents on this issue, then the game will have to be played. If Tang Fang doesn't let go, the game will also become fun.

Therefore, Small's words, on the one hand, put himself in a pure and noble perspective, and on the other hand, opened the prelude to this family farce.

Sambat's eyes were gloomy, and a sneer tugged at the corner of Tang Fang's mouth.

Most of the people present were very smart, and they couldn't see what kind of medicine was sold in the Smaller gourd.

Of course, this is not a conspiracy, but a conspiraccy.

After Zanggowell, there was another man who played impotence in front of him.

Whether he retreats or not, even if he ignores Small's remarks, it will become an excuse for Reeves to make trouble, and he and Elena will catch up with the stage of this family farce, and become a clown in the eyes of everyone present.

A lost dog like Reeves is already a broken jar, of course, he does not hesitate to become the laughing stock of the aristocracy, he is different from Elena.

But Small's words just now took his army. (To be continued.) )
