Chapter 354: Banquet!
The clouds are rolling and the clouds are soothing, the empty mountains are empty, and the water is blooming.
There is a thatched hut at the foot of the mountain, and a young man with an inch head wearing gray prison clothes is meticulously cultivating a vegetable patch in front of the thatched hut, his hands and feet are covered with halos, and there seems to be electric flashes between his hands and feet, which makes his every movement seem extremely difficult.
By noon, the young man was already sweating all over his body, wiped it casually, turned around and walked into the thatched hut, and the crude lunch was already on the table.
The inch-headed young man didn't care, and picked up his lunch, chewing it slowly, moving gracefully, as if he was not now trapped here as a prisoner, eating food like pig food, but enjoying exquisite food in the superlative restaurant.
If you have to use one word to describe the feeling of an inch-headed young man, it is calm.
After eating lunch, the inch-headed young man slowly walked to the side of the room, which was a row of bookshelves, and the inch-headed young man took out a copy of it, and then the whole person was immersed in it.
It wasn't until the sun set that the young man withdrew his mind from the book, as if immersed in the satisfaction of acquiring knowledge, and the young man became satisfied, put down the book, stood up, moved to the table, and was about to get dinner, when he suddenly heard footsteps.
The young man was stunned for a moment, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and he quickly retracted, turned around, and said softly with a gentle smile: "You are here." ”
Yang Xiaomei was carrying a food box, standing at the door, looking at the young man with a complicated expression, his eyes were a little red, he wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so he could only lower his head, slowly walked to the table, and opened the food box he was carrying, "I made you something to eat." ”
"Thank you."
The inch-headed young man smiled softly. seemed to see the complexity in Yang Kitten's heart, so he sighed softly and reached out to hug Yang Kitten into his arms, "I don't blame you." What to cry about. Actually, my life is quite good now, reading books and planting land every day. Had a fulfilling life. ”
"I don't have to think about the mission I carry, I don't have to think about the hope I carry, there is no pressure, this is exactly the life I dream of."
Yang Kitten didn't speak, just leaned obediently on the arms of the inch-headed young man, "Can you really put it down?" ”
"I've wanted to let go for a long time. In fact, I have been thinking that if I hadn't thought too much of myself at first, maybe my life would have been much more solid. ”
"Really, I learned a lot from him. This time. I've been wondering, why did I lose so much when I was so far ahead? ”
The inch-headed young man gently stroked Yang Kitten's long hair and kissed it gently, "Now I figure it out." It turns out that I am different from him. He is stronger, braver, and more determined than me. And I, if not for my abilities. Maybe I want to be more of an ordinary person. ”
"Really, after meeting you. I've always wanted to be an ordinary person, I don't care about the rise of any race, I don't care about reviving civilization, as long as I have you, as long as I watch the clouds roll up with you. Thin water flows, grow old together. That's my dream. ”
"And now I'm relaxed, losing this qiē may be exactly what I want, I'm just a small person after all."
The young man suddenly laughed. Holding Yang Kitten's face, "Are you willing to grow old with me, a little person?" ”
Yang Kitten burst into tears.
Time passed little by little, the empty mountain was still empty, the water was blooming, but in the thatched house at the foot of the mountain, there was suddenly one more person.
They work at sunrise, rest at sunset, men plough and women weave, and the idyllic life seems to have forgotten all the qiē. The humble thatched hut has changed dramatically, with an extra fireplace, an extra kitchen counter, an extra pair of shoes, an extra wardrobe, and a touch of home.
The two of them gave up a qiē and lived quietly in this small cage.
"It's time to eat."
Yang Kitten took off her apron like a virtuous wife, walked to the door, and looked at the inch-headed young man looking up at the sky, "What are you looking at?" ”
"No one looks at us outside."
The young man chuckled lightly.
Yang Kitten nodded quietly, "Well, they withdrew." When the uncle comes back, I'll go and intercede with him, and then we leave here, nothing matter, just the two of us to live well, okay? ”
A hint of complexity flashed in the expression of the inch-headed young man, nodded, turned around, and hugged Yang Kitten into his arms, "Okay." ”
"It's a deal."
"It's a deal."
She pulled him and hooked his fingers, made an agreement, and then she was so happy, so happy, she didn't drink, she made an exception to drink today, and seemed to sleep happily.
He watched her get drunk, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, gently picked her up and put her on the bed, and quietly watched her fall asleep, until the night faded and dawn was about to rise, he gently imprinted a kiss on her forehead, and then walked out of the door without looking back.
He didn't see it, she was crying silently in her sleep, he didn't look back, and she didn't open her eyes from beginning to end.
He walked out of the door, looked at the empty mountain, looked back at the home that almost allowed him to stay, and then stretched out his hand, and the halo on his hands and feet was annihilated inch by inch, and then his hand pressed on the mountain, opened a door, and walked in, never looking back.
……
Black Prison Empire, Capital Star, Prison City.
This is the political center of the Black Prison Empire, three kilometers away from the Senate Building, there is a villa group hidden in the green water and green mountains, this villa group is unknown, quietly located in the downtown area, but few people know.
Winged Man Candle Three has a villa here, and Li's tomb is in this villa at the moment.
It's been a month since the incident with the young girl, and his injuries have completely recovered, and he is standing in front of the huge dressing mirror at this moment, letting the Wingman Asakura tie his bow tie for him.
"The King."
Tianwang's voice suddenly sounded in Li Tomb's ears, Li Tomb's brows furrowed slightly, and he waved his hand, and the winged man Asakura smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for you outside." ”
Li Tomb nodded, and waited for the winged man to walk out before he said lightly: "Say." ”
"General, run away."
Li Tomb reached out and adjusted his bow tie, and bowed slightly, "I know." ”
After speaking, Li Tomb took one last look at the handsome and elegant person in the mirror, and pushed open the door with steps. The winged man Asakura was guarding outside, and when he saw Li Tomb coming out, his eyes lit up and he stretched out his hand.
Li Tomb smiled, let the winged man hold him, and slowly walked downstairs.
A grand banquet downstairs has just begun, and Wingman Candle San, as the host, is standing in the hall at the moment and keeps greeting people.
Li Tomb's eyes were indifferent, and he swept over to participate in the banquet without a trace, this banquet was naturally different from the banquets hosted by the Wing Man Asakura that Li Tomb had participated in before.
Winged Man Candle San personally went out, although he was only a small viscount, and he was nothing in this capital star, but the identity of the alternate senator of the Senate was enough for him to get in touch with the top of the empire.
In addition to those grand dukes, even the marquis also wants to give him a face, except for those nobles who really can't attend, almost half of the nobles on the entire capital star come.
Seeing that Li Tomb was being dragged downstairs by the Winged Man Asakura, Winged Man Candle San suddenly laughed, beckoned to Li Tomb, pulled Li Tomb to the front of the stage, and clapped his hands, "Everyone, let me introduce you to the grand introduction." My good friend Baron Li Xunluo. ”
Li Tomb maintained an indifferent smile and nodded slightly at everyone, "I've seen you." ”
Everyone at the banquet also bowed their heads and gestured very kindly, as for what they thought in their hearts, only God knows.
Winged Man Candle San obviously wanted to introduce Li Tomb to the nobles in the banquet, not to mention that Li Tomb would immediately integrate into the aristocratic circle of the Capital Star, at least he had to be familiar.
So basically, in the first half of the banquet, Li Tomb was pulled by the winged candle three, and he got to know every nobleman Jian Shao who came to the meeting, so he had a preliminary impression.
It was only after Li Tomb had spoken to every nobleman present under the introduction of the Winged Man Candle Three that he finally had some free time, and went to the garden with a wine glass, took a sip of red wine, and looked up at the moonlight.
There are three moons here, and March is shining, so the moonlight here is much more beautiful and brighter than the earth, but it makes Li Tomb more and more aware that he is now in a foreign land and a stranger.
The warm greetings and warm banquets in there actually have nothing to do with him.
As soon as this faint feeling rose, it was forcibly erased by Li Tomb, who drank a glass of wine outside, turned around and was about to walk back into the banquet hall.
Although this banquet was hosted by Wingman Candle San, it was held for him, whether it was to achieve his own goals or to get more contact with the noble circle, he had to participate in it.
As soon as he walked to the door, Li Tomb saw that the winged man Asakura seemed to be looking for him, and when he saw him, he hurriedly trotted over with the corner of his skirt, took Li Tomb's arm, and said in a low voice: "Father is looking for you." Duke Qinzhuang is here. ”
Li Tomb's heart suddenly sank, although it was still unclear who this Duke of Qinzhuang was, but just the name of the Duke was enough for Li Tomb to know that this was definitely the person standing at the top of the entire universe pyramid.
"I see. Where are they? ”
Li Tomb nodded and asked quietly.
"Duke Qinzhuang hasn't arrived yet, but my father is already waiting at the door."
Winged man Asakura said softly, "This Duke of Qinzhuang is not from the Empire, but the Grand Duke of the Hanyue Empire. ”
Li Tomb nodded, although the Hanyue Empire is not well-known in the Western Covenant, it can become one of the great powers, even if it is not as good as the Black Prison Empire.
What's more, this Qin Zhuang is still the duke of the Hanyue Empire, not to mention coming to the Black Prison Empire, even if he goes to the Xilin Empire, he can enjoy the status of a duke.
The status of nobility is universal to the whole universe.
So even if the Duke of Qinzhuang was not from the Black Prison Empire, Li Tomb didn't dare to slack off, not to mention that the Wingman Candle Three specially sent the Wingman Asakura to remind him, and he couldn't say what it might have to do with him. (To be continued......)
