Chapter 40: The Banquet Horror
Seeing Nameless's casual eyes that went from initial surprise and appreciation to the end, Guan Xinling felt slightly stunned. Having read countless people, she could see that Nameless's expression and reaction just now were by no means the kind of strong and calm, but indeed their true reactions.
After getting used to being looked at with stunning admiration and even greedy eyes, Nameless's eyes, which almost had no distractions, and even didn't take her seriously at all, made her feel a sense of loss.
Guan Xinling is not narcissistic, she knows her charm. From the age of fifteen, she was surrounded by the bewildered eyes of young men. As she grew older, except for a few strong-minded people in the temple's archbishop, few men looked at her without a glint of lust in their eyes.
Among the people who pursued her in the past, there was also that kind of reverse trickery, deliberately pretending to be indifferent to get her attention. But she could still feel the light behind those pretenses.
Nameless but different, the woman's intuition told her that this soldier, who was still wearing a military uniform and a tall military posture at the banquet, really didn't take her too seriously. Compared to the way he looked at the food, he was not as good as the fat and greasy barbecue.
The greetings of other nobles made Guan Xinling have to temporarily give up the idea of inquiring about this strange soldier, and instead, under the introduction of Gangichi Domoto, she greeted every nobleman she knew who she didn't know.
Soon, under the leadership of Gangichi Domoto, Guan Xinling came to the nameless face.
"This is a hero in the eyes of our people, an unknown thousand horsemen."
Tang Bengang's eyes fell on Nameless, revealing a look of appreciation. As a marshal, you can still distinguish between heroes and stupid talents, but when this young handsome man blocks his son's future, the marshal is no longer a marshal, but just a father of a child.
Guan Xinling's beautiful eyes suddenly widened a little more than usual, and her dark eyes carefully looked at Nameless. Nowadays, the people of the entire Yanjing have not seen Wuming with their own eyes, or at least heard of his name, and it is difficult for Guan Xinling to hear this name in Yanjing.
Guan Xinling nodded with a smile and bowed down politely and said, "Hello, respected hero." You can see that you are a master of skill. ”
"Hello, you're not bad." The nameless polite replied, then took a step back to the side and motioned for the other party to continue with the next person.
Guan Xinling was stunned again, the young man had always tried to express himself when he came into contact with her, hoping to show that he was different, so that she could pay more attention to him. Like Nameless, she took the initiative to back down after explaining a sentence, and it was the first time she had encountered it.
Guan Xinling frequently looked back at Nameless when he walked towards the next nobleman with Tang Bengang, and at this time, many noble girls had gathered beside Nameless.
"You're a battle hero? Can you tell us a little bit about your combat experience? ”
"I'm a hero worshipper, can you tell me what you're thinking on the battlefield?"
Nameless looked at these noble ladies whose eyes flashed with fine light, and suddenly felt like they were in the midst of a group of wild beasts, and hurriedly said sorry and barely squeezed out of the crowd.
Guan Xinling secretly looked back and saw Nameless fleeing, and became even more curious about Nameless.
Nameless chose a few delicious meals, carried a small bucket of juice in his hand, and did not care about the disdainful glances of others, and casually walked to a window table and chair in the hall and sat down.
"The great national hero, how can you sit here and eat alone?"
Nameless looked at the young "ugly girl" in front of him in amazement, and Zhao Feiyan appeared in front of him in disguise this time. Compared with the last dress, Zhao Feiyan's dressing skills have improved a lot this time, if it weren't for Zhao Feiyan to speak, it would be really difficult to see that the woman who deliberately painted herself ugly in makeup this time turned out to be the third princess of the Dragon Kingdom.
When he met an acquaintance, Nameless felt a burst of joy in his heart, and pushed the plate that still contained a lot of food over: "Please eat." ”
Zhao Feiyan pursed her lips and deliberately pretended to be angry: "It's really insincere to invite me to eat other people's food." ”
Nameless smiled, remembering that dozens of days ago, because he had no money, he didn't even invite her to eat snacks at the stall and said: "Another day, when you leave the palace next time, I will invite you to eat street food." ”
"Really! Deal! Zhao Feiyan stretched out her little finger and said excitedly: "Hook your finger." ”
Nameless smiled and held out his finger.
Hooking his fingers, Zhao Feiyan moved his chair to the nameless side, and asked curiously, "Isn't that Guan Xinling beautiful?" Why didn't you get up to it like those stinky men? ”
Nameless frowned slightly, looked at Zhao Feiyan, thought about it, and asked seriously, "Will she give me money if she comes over?" ”
How could anyone ask such a question? Zhao Feiyan suddenly felt that his seat was a little unstable, and then when he thought that Nameless's answer was also in line with his usual money-making thinking mode, he was happy and melancholy in his heart.
"Isn't she pretty?" Zhao Feiyan was slightly worried that there was something wrong with Nameless's aesthetics, and once again threw out the question that Nameless didn't answer just now.
"Beautiful, but what's the matter with me?"
Nameless replied simply, Zhao Feiyan suddenly stayed on the spot again for a long time before she came back to her senses and tried to induce her to ask, "Don't you like her?" This is known as the first beauty in Yanjing! ”
"Like? Why should you like it? Do you want to like it because it's pretty? Nameless frowned tightly and said, "The more beautiful the mushroom in the forest, the more poisonous it is, and the more beautiful the beast, the more dangerous it is, the more you should stay away." ”
Nameless said to himself, not noticing that several black lines had appeared on Zhao Feiyan's forehead in front of him.
"You mean I'm not pretty anymore?" Zhao Feiyan stared at Nameless with a slight anger: "Because I'm not beautiful, that's why you're willing to let me get close to you?" ”
"Huh?" Nameless still didn't find out where his mistake was, looked at Zhao Feiyan calmly and said, "You are very beautiful, you have a kind heart." I love it. ”
Zhao Feiyan's face flushed, and she shyly glanced at Nameless, who was very sincere in answering her words, and the dissatisfaction with Nameless just now in her heart had already flown out of the clouds, and asked softly shyly, "What you said is true?" ”
"Yes......" The nameless and calm answer set off a wave in Zhao Feiyan's heart.
"I like you too......" Zhao Feiyan's mosquito-like voice interrupted Nameless's words, her tender face flushed like a ripe red apple, and she shyly lowered her head and frequently peeked at Nameless who was sitting next to her.
"Oh......" Nameless Mu Na agreed, and did not interrupt Zhao Feiyan in the second half of his words: Just like liking everyone in our village, this sentence continued.
Zhao Feiyan sat beside the nameless and was embarrassed to continue the topic just now, and hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "I heard that you have been promoted?" ”
"Captain of a Thousand Riders."
Nameless's answers are always simple and direct, and Zhao Feiyan has gradually become accustomed to such a way of talking to Nameless.
"If you are promoted, you will be a veritable general." Zhao Feiyan nodded and said with a shy look: "Continue to work hard, and if you are promoted to marshal as soon as possible, you can ......"
"What can be?" Seeing that Zhao Feiyan didn't finish speaking, he stopped and hurriedly asked, "Can I get more military stickers?" ”
A few black lines appeared on Zhao Feiyan's head again, she still couldn't understand why Nameless loved money so much, and he could pull things to money in three or two sentences, which was too incommensurate with his temperament.
Guan Xinling got to know each other all the way, and finally stood with Mi Lingfeng to talk and laugh, and secretly pointed to the "ugly girl" sitting in front of the window and whispered: "Ling Feng, that is the battle hero." ”
The look in his eyes when he looked at Nameless lost the contempt he had earlier: "His bow is playing well, as for the rest, I don't know." ”
Guan Xinling glanced at Nameless with a smile, and his eyes returned to Yin Lingfeng's body again: "You are stronger, or is he stronger." ”
Yin Lingfeng did not hesitate: "Me! ”
Guan Xinling looked at Mi Lingfeng with a light smile: "It seems that you are really mature." ”
Miao Lingfeng laughed casually: "It doesn't matter if he really killed Yi Tianxing." Now that I have joined the army, I will definitely be able to overshadow this man in military exploits. If he really doesn't have any ability, he will naturally show his shortcomings in the future, right? ”
The lights in the hall, which were already not bright, became even more dim again.
Standing in the center of the hall with high spirits, he spread his hands and said, "Everyone, everyone! I declare, now the ball is officially underway! Young people who have not yet started a family, take advantage of your opportunity, maybe you can find your own half here. ”
Tang Bengang was about to walk towards Guan Xinling as soon as he spoke, and found that Kou Lingfeng had already grabbed Guan Xinling's waist and walked onto the dance floor, and suddenly countless angry and jealous eyes stared at Kou Lingfeng's body.
Several aristocratic ladies slowly came to Nameless's side and stood in place reservedly, secretly casting expectant glances at Nameless from time to time.
Zhao Feiyan looked enviously at the pair of dancers on the dance floor and said to Nameless, "Don't you invite me to dance?" You know, there are very few people in the kingdom who have such a privilege. ”
Nameless smiled apologetically, "I don't know how to do these dances." ”
"How can I teach you?" Zhao Feiyan picked up a pair of knives and forks and inserted a loaf of bread each, looked like two feet on the table, walked in and out of the table in an orderly manner, and said: "This is your pace, when you move forward, I will start to retreat, and the rhythm is one click, two clicks, two clicks......
After the song, Zhao Feiyan said excitedly: "Have you learned?" ”
Nameless nodded lightly: "Not skilled." ”
"Then please let me dance."
"Still can't."
"Really? I was going to ask me to dance and tell you a way to make money. ”
Looking at Zhao Feiyan's somewhat childish smiling face, he smiled helplessly, he didn't expect this Zhao Feiyan to come to such a hand, right in his death hole.
Nameless got up and said in the same way that other nobles invited ladies to dance, "Can you dance with your face?" ”
Zhao Feiyan smiled like a child got his favorite toy, stretched out his jade hand on Nameless's hand and walked onto the dance floor with Nameless.
The music sounded, and Nameless moved his steps slightly nervously for the first time, if it weren't for Zhao Feiyan's quick dodge several times, Nameless would have already stepped on Zhao Feiyan's feet and swollen.
After dancing down, Nameless felt that he was a lot more tired than fighting with others.
Zhao Feiyan sat back on the seat and drank the juice and said mischievously: "For the sake of your cooperation, this princess will tell you." If you make a lot of achievements, you will naturally earn a lot of gold coins. ”
Nameless smiled and picked up the knife and fork to destroy the food in front of him, he had begun to get used to the cleverness of this little princess, this girl was not bad-hearted.
"Lie to you!" Zhao Feiyan said with a smile on his face that he had succeeded in his plan: "Actually, there is a thing in the military department called professional title assessment. is the same thousand riders, but the salary is very different. ”
"Title assessment?" Nameless frowned.
"That's right!" Zhao Feiyan danced the knife and fork in his hand: "Do you remember the sword saint Dodoria you killed?" Why is he called the Juggernaut? Because the countries of the mainland have a set of assessment systems that are almost the same, only if you participate in that assessment system, you will be recognized by your own country or even many countries on the mainland as a sword master or other title. ”
"Where to take the assessment?" Nameless asked curiously.
"Humph!" Zhao Feiyan said proudly: "The assessment union handled by the Yanjing state, the assessment below the holy level is held once a year, and I heard that this is also to save costs. Every June, candidates from all over the country gather in Yanjing to take the exam. Exams above the holy level can be taken at any time. ”
"Where's the address?"
"Next to Yanjing's only huge arena, the door number is very conspicuous. There are so many candidates, there is really no place to accommodate so many people except there. ”
"Oh......" Nameless nodded.
"Hey, Gang Domoto is here." Zhao Feiyan dragged the plate in front of Nameless and lowered her head to eat the food, and whispered, "Cover up, I don't want to be caught back in the palace so soon." ”
Gang Domoto strode towards Nameless, and from time to time the people around him would show a kind and flattering smile like him, and Gang Domoto nodded with a general demeanor and showed an approving smile to everyone who greeted him.
The beautiful music and the elegant appearance of Tsuyochi Domoto formed a perfect picture, and almost everyone was immersed in this huge ball.
Nameless's head suddenly tightened in the center of this intoxicating environment, and there was a feeling of cold sweat that made him very uncomfortable, and suddenly rushed up from the bottom of his heart.
This feeling will not be forgotten by Nameless! It was the feeling he had just woken up to hunt with other hunters for the first time when he was attacked by a torn mow.
The moment Tang Bengang smiled and nodded to an old nobleman, a cold light suddenly burst out from under the Yan Ji skirt beside the old nobleman, and went straight to Tang Bengang's throat.
The timing of this knife was extremely coincidental, and when it was caught by Tang Bengang who was defenseless, the surrounding people were intoxicated by the music and wanted to rescue and had no chance.
"Ahh
While the surrounding celebrities were screaming, the knife in the nameless hand had already shot out before Yan Ji pulled out the knife, and the flying knife was like a meteor across the night sky and straight to the throat of Yan Ji's assassin.
The flying knife is coming in an instant, and if Yan Ji wants to slash Tang Bengang hard, she will definitely be stabbed to death by the flying knife before she hits the other party. In a hurry, Yan Ji slashed at the flying knife.
Qiang
Yan Ji slashed the dining knife with a knife, and the tiger's mouth in her right hand holding the knife was actually cracked and bleeding from the dining knife, and in an instant, she tore off the dress that hindered her movement, revealing a revealing underwear that only covered the important parts of her body.
Yan Ji didn't stop at the moment and resisted uselessly, glared at Nameless angrily and turned around and shot out the door with a volley.
Nameless was looked at by the other party like this, and suddenly felt that the sweat pores of his body swelled in an instant, and a cold current rose from the bottom of his heart. He knew that it was an immortal look, and many fierce animals in the Great Khing'an Mountains had such eyes. Compared with those animals, Nameless knows how difficult this woman is, and it is indispensable to pay more attention to the surrounding environment in the future.
"Catch her!" Tang Bengang was shocked for a moment and hurriedly shouted, and there was a sound of swords fighting and shouting to everyone in the courtyard, and soon the sound disappeared completely.
I saw a nurse walk into the hall with an embarrassed face, knelt down in front of Gang Yi and said, "Dashuai, you are incompetent, let that assassin escape." ”
One of the three marshals of the dignified Shenlong Kingdom, and a descendant of the Five Heroes, he was almost successfully stabbed in his own home. Tang Bengang felt that his face was dull, where was the brilliance of talking and laughing not long ago, and said with a pale face: "Then don't you go and search for me?" ”
"Order!" The nurse turned around and ran out.
Everyone's eyes were no longer focused on Gang Domoto's body, and they searched for the person who had just shot a flying knife to save people.
Guan Xinling gently bumped the chest of Ling Feng beside him with her elbow and whispered, "How is it?" Still insisting that you are better than him? ”
"It's just a little more intuitive about the danger coming." Miao Lingfeng pursed his lips and whispered: "One-on-one, or lead the army to fight, I will definitely be able to defeat him." ”
"Really?" Guan Xinling's beautiful eyes revealed infinite curiosity and looked at Nameless, the brilliance of the flying knife just now was deeply imprinted in her heart.
Tang Bengang tidied up his dress slightly, took a few steps to Nameless, stretched out his hand to pull Nameless, looked at Nameless seriously, nodded lightly, and whispered, "Thank you." ”
"It's nothing, it's just a coincidence." Nameless returned calmly, paying more attention to the next Tang Ben Gangyi, he could find out who the person who helped him in such a dangerous situation, and Tang Ben Gangyi's own strength should not be underestimated, if it wasn't for something suddenly that Yan Ji would not be this person's opponent.
"Why didn't you chase it out?"
"One, I won't necessarily be able to catch up with her. Second, I can't guarantee that there won't be other Assassins hiding here. ”
Tang Bengang nodded with satisfaction, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he glanced at Zhao Feiyan, who was immersed in eating, and whispered, "The safety of the third princess is entrusted to you." ”
Zhao Feiyan, who was eating with her head buried in her head, coughed repeatedly, obviously revealing her identity by Tang Bengang one by one, and she was shocked that she was choked by food.
Nameless nodded and smiled and handed Zhao Feiyan a glass of juice, and Tang Ben Gangyi told again: "Send the princess back early." ”
"Marshal, I hope you can approve the staffing of my troops with a few teachers." Nameless said seriously, "I want my soldiers to learn fighting spirit and magic. ”
"Vindictive? Magic? Tang Bengang frowned: "There are strict conditions for studying these things, and I am afraid it will be difficult if you are not qualified." Marshal Ben will give you a way. ”
Nameless smiled, and rejecting his request with such a delaying method was already regarded as giving him face as a life-saver.
Things have developed to this point, and everyone present suddenly understood who shot the flying knife just now. For a while, the eyes of envy, adoration, and jealousy were focused on Nameless.
After Gang Domoto sat down, he turned around and said loudly, "Everyone! Ben Shuai said that there was a little accident in holding this ball today, and I ask everyone to continue to have fun, and don't let that incident ruin everyone's interest. ”
Everyone was soon immersed in the music again, as if they had really forgotten the thrilling scene just now, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
"These nobles." Miao Lingfeng glanced disdainfully at the dancing nobles in front of him.
Guan Xinling politely rejected a nobleman's invitation and said softly: "They are also afraid of Marshal Domoto to make such an expression." If anyone doesn't smile happily at this time, they will probably be suspected by Marshal Domoto of having something to do with this assassination, right? ”
Zhao Feiyan saw Tang Bengang go away and exhaled a few breaths of air, looked at Nameless curiously and asked, "How did you know that it was an assassin?" How do you practice your throwing knives? Can you teach me? ”
"Let's go. There's no point in looking at these masked people here. Nameless said to Zhao Feiyan, who was full: "Go back to the palace early." ”
Zhao Feiyan asked without giving up: "Then talk while walking?" ”
Nameless smiled and reached out and touched Zhao Feiyan's head: "Okay, talk while walking." ”
