Chapter Seventy-Two: The Earl's Dinner

Imperial Women's College, back hilltop.

At the time of the lantern, the cool breeze is blowing, and it is even more chilly on the top of the mountain that has entered the late autumn season.

At this time, a figure was standing on the top of the mountain in thin clothes and looking into the distance, and what caught his eye was the lights of thousands of homes hidden in the imperial capital in the distance below the mountain.

And in the southeast corner of the imperial capital, the lights are bright at this time, and even from so far away you can hear the hustle and bustle there, and that location is obviously the place where the Earl of Aurno's Mansion is located, and it is also a familiar but unfamiliar place for Hualong.

There is a big banquet tonight, happily inviting guests from all over the world to celebrate Huayun, the second son of Count Aurno, who has won the championship of the Imperial Royal Competition!

Only the lonely figure of Hualong can only be seen from afar, the home that has brought him warmth and once belonged to him, and the lonely heart arises spontaneously!

At this moment, a pair of warm little hands quietly put on Hua Long's shoulders, gently draped a coat over his body, and whispered: "It's cold on the mountain, be careful of the cold!"

Although she ran out in the early morning, she was so relieved that Hualong's "illness" was not relieved, so she came again in the evening, and when she heard that Hualong was on the top of the mountain, she quietly followed.

"Thank you, Jingyi!" Raising his hand and gently holding Jingyi's soft and boneless little hand on his shoulder, Hualong finally felt a trace of warmth at this moment, and his lonely and lonely heart began to slowly melt at this moment.

For a long time, neither of them spoke again, just stood quietly on the top of the mountain.

It's all in plain sight!

......

Cold Moon City, the study of the Earl's Palace.

Unlike the hustle and bustle in the hall, the study of the Count of Onno was extremely quiet at this time, and the two powerful figures sat across the desks, and the red wine in the glass shook lightly, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

"Sure enough, it's a tiger father without a dog, congratulations to Lord Nandu!" Prime Minister Rong Te took a sip of the mellow red wine in the glass and complimented him with a chuckle.

"Everywhere, this is all taught by that old fellow of Enson, and I dare not take credit!" said Count Auno modestly, but the pride on his face could not hide the eyes of the old fox of Prime Minister Rongte, and it was evident that he still used this compliment.

"Hehe, Lord Nandu is really too modest!" Prime Minister Rong Te gently shook the red wine in his hand, and immediately changed his words, and said with a smile: "Actually, count the days, Huayun is about to graduate in a year, I don't know what Lord Nandu plans to do after that?"

Obviously, the tentative meaning in Prime Minister Rong's words is very strong, after all, even if Ao Nuo doesn't say it, people with a discerning eye can see that Hua Yun will inevitably enter the army after that, and it is even very likely that he will directly go to the top of the army, but it is one thing to enter the army, and it is another thing to enter the army under whose control.

Everyone knows that the current Cold Moon Empire, whether it is the court or the army, is a three-part situation, and Emperor Feng Ke, Prime Minister Rong Te, and Marshal Ron each have a part of it.

Therefore, in other words, Hua Yun's entry into the army under his control basically means that he and the Count of Aurno behind him are the people on whose side, and once the position is decided, then the people who have the support of the Count of Aurno will undoubtedly be strengthened, and even have an overwhelming advantage, so Prime Minister Rong Te has to be cautious.

It's just that Count Onno is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and in the face of such a sharp problem, of course he will not take it easily, so he kicked the ball back directly, "I haven't considered this problem for the time being, I don't know if the Prime Minister has any good proposals?"

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

The two of them looked at each other, and suddenly chuckled in unison, and they couldn't help but secretly say to each other at the same time, "Old fox!" and then the two raised the wine glasses in their hands at the same time, touched them lightly, and immediately drank them all refreshedly.

A moment later, the glass fell on the table, and the Count of Onno immediately picked up the bottle on the table and filled it again.

"I heard that the Prime Minister has not attended anyone's banquet for many years, and today I, the Earl of Aurno, am really honored to be congratulated by the Prime Minister in person!"

"Hehe, Count Aonuo is really exalting my old bones, those previous gatherings are not my old bones don't want to participate, it's really old and not in good health, I can't participate, no, until recently, my physical condition has been slightly better, and I just happened to meet you Lord Nandu to hold a banquet, so my old bones are here, this has to be said to be completely providential, even God wants us to be closer and closer!" Prime Minister Rong Te immediately was also vain and wronged, opened his eyes and said nonsense, and laughed insincerely.

"Haha, that's really a blessing for the contemptible, it seems that I will indeed be closer to the Prime Minister in the future! I hope that the Prime Minister can take more care of it in the future!" Count Auno immediately replied with a smile.

"Hehe, where is Lord Nandu, just take care of each other, otherwise the old man would not have proposed to marry Xue Yaxu to Lord Nandu's eldest son Hua Long, isn't that what about it? By the way, Lord Nandu, what about your eldest son Hua Long? After three rounds of drinking, Prime Minister Rong Te immediately put their topic on the right track, after all, the main purpose of his coming tonight was to finalize this marriage, so as to bring him closer to the relationship between him and Count Auno, even if he could not become his own person in the end, at least he could not become an enemy, so as not to suffer enemies in the future.

"Eldest son Hua Long, alas, it's a shame to say!" As soon as Hua Long was mentioned, Count Ao Nuo suddenly seemed to be a few years older, and the smile on his face disappeared almost instantly, "Yesterday I sent someone to the women's college to ask, but I didn't find anyone, and finally asked the old lady to learn that Hua Long had followed the academy's team to the Tianling Principality to participate in the 'Flower Festival' a month ago, and you also know that this is what the Imperial Women's Academy originally taught, so ......" In the end, even the Count of Onno himself felt shameless, and his voice became smaller and quieter until it came to an abrupt end.

And Prime Minister Rongte nodded imperceptibly, obviously what Count Auno said was similar to the news he had sent Kefer to inquire about before, that Hualong was really a gentleman who only knew how to raise flowers and grass all day long, and such a person was exactly what Prime Minister Rongte needed.

It's just that they don't know that all this is the collusion between the crazy old man and Lucy Andrew, the dean of the Imperial Women's College, as long as someone comes to ask, they will directly make up a name and say that Hua Long has gone out, anyway, the Tianling Continent is so big, it is impossible for them to travel through mountains and rivers to verify it, they can only believe whatever they say, therefore, whether it is the Prime Minister Rongte or the Earl of Auno at this time, they are convinced that Hua Long is a wasteful and useless without ambition.

Therefore, after a while, Prime Minister Rong Te also hurriedly came out and said: "Lord Nandu, this is not right, what's wrong with raising flowers and grass? At least there is no danger to life, isn't it? Unlike those cultivators or soldiers in the army, who are facing death every moment, I want our family Xueya to be safe and happy to find an ordinary man to spend her life with, what do you say?

"Ah, that's, that's really an advantage!" Count Auno was slightly stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly echoed, he never thought that Prime Minister Rong Te would say this, it seems that he is determined to marry his precious granddaughter to their family's Hualong, in this case, he naturally has no reason to object, but it is too late to be happy, even if the purpose of the old fox is not pure, what if the purpose of the old fox is not pure? As long as he can solve Hualong's lifelong events, it doesn't matter if he, a father, suffers a little loss and some blood.

Therefore, Hua Long's lifelong events were decided in the joke between Prime Minister Rong Te and Count Aonno, and even the wedding date was decided, that is, the wedding will be held immediately the day after Hua Long and Xue Ya graduated from the Women's Academy and the Imperial Royal Academy respectively, so as not to have too many dreams at night!
