Chapter 2: His Troubles
readx; Huang Yaojie nodded, and took the butler and the captain of the personal guard team up, because it was a castle created by the great magic of perpetuity, and the internal space was divided by magic, Huang Yaojie did not need to go through a long journey, just went through a short staircase to the banquet hall of the Duke of Saint Laurent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The hall is a bit exaggerated, and there are expensive and luxurious carpets, expensive lighting fixtures, various artists' creations, and even temporary decorative flowers are rare flowers. Not to mention that in the banquet, wearing a sky-high dress that the money earned by civilians in ten lifetimes could not buy a silk thread.
The butler and the captain of the guard really became turtles, and they were almost speechless when they looked at the glamorous hall.
Huang Yaojie smiled faintly, not impressed at all.
"Hehe, you are Yao Jiehuang, the new lord of Beimiao District." Yunes slowly approached Huang Yaojie with a red wine glass between his fingers, he was already fifty years old, as a knight chief, his age of fifty years was only equivalent to the prime of ordinary people, and he had at least three hundred years to live.
Huang Yaojie's self-conscious chin. It's in stark contrast to the obviously turtle-like guy behind him.
"Let's go have a drink."
"I don't drink."
"It's okay to drink tea, I have very good tea here, and I usually don't want to drink it."
"That's good."
"Wait for me here." Huang Yaojie followed Duke Grace to a secluded place.
There are three people in addition to Huang Yaojie and Younes, three people who are as powerful as the sea and unfathomable.
Huang Yaojie found a place and sat down by himself, and his momentum was not even weaker than the others.
"It is said that this guy bought a title from the imperial capital, and if he can come out of the imperial capital, it seems that he still has knowledge and cultivation......" Yuns became more and more satisfied with this little lord.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have some news for you." Feeling the eyes converge, Duke Eunes was quite satisfied, he was also a conceited person, and naturally liked the feeling of being the center.
"The great cause of the four barbarian tribes of the Northern Expedition is nearing the end, and there will be a large part of the empire's territory......"
"At that time, the empire will send some nobles to rule the territory of the four barbarian clans, and I am the chief judge of those nobles, and His Majesty the Emperor will approve the nobles I recommend to become the lords of the new territory, and you are one of the people I have chosen."
The eyes of the three nobles kept intertwining with each other, and even Huang Yaojie was scrutinized. The territory of the four barbarian tribes, that is the most fertile territory comparable to the empire, and every nobleman wants to take a bite of this cake.
However, it is not easy to take a bite on it, regardless of the differences in culture and ethnicity, it is a great trouble to build infrastructure and arrange for the population to live in a foreign territory, and the money spent is measured in astronomical units.
"I'm not interested." Huang Yaojie got up.
"Why, it's a big piece of cake."
Euns asked with a smile.
"No matter how delicious it is, you have to be able to eat it."
"You can't eat, I can help you."
The old fox finally showed his tail, but if you want to use me, who do you think you are?
"I'm a simple person who just wants to live a simple life." Huang Yaojie walked out of the small room.
"I don't know how to lift." A nobleman snorted coldly.
"No, I think he's a smart guy instead, if it's me in his position, I'm the same choice, believe me, being overconfident will only lead to destruction." Another nobleman replied, and the last nobleman nodded slightly, and he also approved of Huang Yaojie's approach.
Today's young people are getting more and more terrifying.
Huang Yaojie returned to the hall and saw the embarrassed housekeeper and the captain of the personal guard in the corner of the hall who didn't know what to do.
Huang Yaojie looked at them with some pity, and finally sighed helplessly.
Bringing the housekeeper and the captain of the guard back to his mansion, Huang Yaojie didn't care about the light castle outside the city, Duke Unity would not take Beimiao District in his eyes, and the reason why he would talk to Huang Yaojie was just that Huang Yaojie had a little bit of value to use.
The next day, Huang Yaojie met Rose Eddie again.
"The Duke of Saint Laurent is going to the imperial capital to meet His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and I hope that His Excellency the Baron will go with him, and Lord Saint Laurent said that His Majesty the Holy Emperor is wise and powerful, and with the recommendation of the Duke of Saint Laurent, it is not a problem to go from lifelong to inheritance."
to tempt them......
"The countrymen can't see the market, so I won't go to the imperial capital to embarrass Saint Laurent, go back and tell Saint Laurent that I understand his kindness ......"
Rose Eddie retreated.
The next day, it was rumored everywhere in the territory of Beimiao District that Huang Yaojie was going to the imperial capital to meet His Majesty the Holy Emperor. Many people burst into tears of excitement and contributed their best things to the City Lord's Mansion, hoping to make His Majesty the Holy Emperor happy and give them a little benefit to their respected City Lord.
Forced by name......
Huang Yaojie succumbed, and he eventually followed Saint Laurent's army, preparing to go with him to meet His Majesty the noble Holy Emperor.
That evening, Gaines hosted a banquet for Huang Yaojie's arrival, introducing the young and promising new lord to all the nobles. Like last time, except for Huang Yaojie, who can still be calm and maintain his usual demeanor, his subordinates are all flattered.
The nobles below whispered, and their ill-intentioned eyes kept focusing on Huang Yaojie.
"Old fox, do you force me......"
As expected, since Duke Euearns praised Huang Yaojie, even if Huang Yaojie keeps a low profile, low key, and low-key, it can even be said that he can't fight back and scold back, there are still too many people looking for trouble every day.
The young and naïve nobles did not think that this newcomer was their kind, this alien robbed them of the glory that should belong to them, so they had to pay the price, at first, because of the relationship between Duke Unity, the young nobles still knew how to restrain a little, but when they saw that Duke Grace not only did not stop but even acquiesced, they began to be a little unscrupulous.
Huang Yaojie still endures, or rather, only his subordinates endure, and Huang Yaojie never feels interested in ants.
On the Friday of the third week of the trip to the imperial capital. As usual, the Duke of Euns unfolded the castle of light and held a huge banquet.
Huang Yaojie found a place to sit down at random, the guards behind him pinched the hilt of his sword, and in the morning there were a bunch of cavalry to provoke, they were wearing expensive magical equipment and had excellent military horses, this kind of formal and powerful cavalry was something that the guards could only look up to, if it wasn't for that......
"Do you think that a random nobleman is a real knight? It's just a guy who can't hold a sword, I see that your identity as a guard is also by selling your ass at night, hahaha, come on, let your dad also look at your ass, let me be happy, and let you enter my cavalry team......"
"Are you angry?"
"My ......, my lord"
"It's okay......"
The warm warmth, the eternal tranquility, the faint melody sounded, like a gentle breeze, the comfort was difficult to hold, the captain of the guard slowly spit out, his mood calmed down, and he was no longer as angry as just now.
"You're the young and promising lord my father said?" Wearing a luxurious and restrained dress, his handsome eyebrows are slightly frowned, the corners of his mouth are curved in a good-looking arc, there is a hint of sweetness, and his eyes like autumn water reflect Huang Yaojie's shadow, playfully like a little devil.
She stood like that, and she was as beautiful as a painting.
The second daughter of Duke Grace, Emida. Sprinter. Yves Saint Laurent.
Huang Yaojie was noncommittal, and the captain of the guard behind him instantly turned red.
"You're funny?" The crisp laughter, her identity, her beauty, and her wrists had already made her a princess among young male nobles, and too many outstanding young people who expressed their love to her were rejected by her.
Now, she was smiling at a commoner who had even bought her aristocratic status, and Huang Yaojie felt the killing intent again.
"yes, it's so funny, I'm a little irritable when it's funny."
"So, young and promising nobleman, I wonder if you will have dinner with me?"
The full name is silence.
"Shall I say no?"
"Then I'll be very sad, maybe I'll cry again......" Emmida made a look of wanting to cry, and winked at Huang Yaojie playfully.
"Shameless man, you actually made Miss Amida cry, you really don't have any aristocratic demeanor, I want to challenge you on behalf of the orthodox aristocracy."
Sure enough, according to the plot, it unfolded, in other words, shouldn't I lower my head and go to the world to learn the application of the law of cause and effect to that Great Heavenly Sage, so that at least I won't be ......
No, just a bunch of mortals......
Huang Yaojie got up and pushed Emmida aside, looking at the nobleman who made the challenge, a little kid who was less than fifteen years old and hadn't even finished losing his fetal hair, he blushed and stared at Huang Yaojie deadly.
"You're going to challenge me?"
"No, it's my ......" Behind the nobleman, a pale-complexed, personable man stood up.
"Hey, it's the Wind Sword Etzcot, he is an eighth-order high-level swordsman, it is said that he was originally the three major swordsmanship teachers in the imperial court, and he was expelled from the imperial court after making a mistake."
"That dirt bun actually felt that he challenged the Yinfeng Sword, it's really deadly......"
"We'll see how he makes a fool of himself......"
The Yinfeng Sword is famous, and the eighth-level swordsman is almost a figure that can only appear in legends, and the captain of the personal guard is in a hurry, he doesn't want to see his respected lord defeated by the Yinfeng Sword and leave with a disgraced face.
Now, it's time for my mission.
Challenges between nobles can be met by vassals, retainers, and the like.
The captain of the guard resolutely stood up and prepared to fight for Huang Yaojie, in this battle, even if he died, he would not let Huang Yaojie lose face.
Huang Yaojie's body moved, and the captain of the personal guard who wanted to step out couldn't take that step.
"Come, give me the sword......"
Without waiting for the captain of the guard to agree, Huang Yaojie pulled out the long sword pinned to the waist of the captain of the guard.
"Flutter ......"
Many nobles couldn't help but make a sound, the sword pinched in Huang Yaojie's hand was worn, rusted, and cracked all over the body, this was a weapon that only low-level mercenaries would use.
Moreover, as far as Huang Yaojie's posture with the sword is concerned, he can't see that he has learned the sword at all, it is full of flaws and has no rules.
