At the same time, there was a gang fight at the Dijiang Wharf in the inner city of the Cold Moon Empire, which was not too big, but the scale was not small.

The two sides fighting each other are the well-known underworld organizations in the imperial capital of the Cold Moon Empire, the Heaven and Earth Society and the Axe Gang.

When Xing Xue led his Imperial Guard to arrive, the casualties on both sides were not small, among them, the Heaven and Earth Society was weak due to its weak strength, coupled with the gap in equipment, dozens of wounded and three dead, while although the Axe Gang had the upper hand, there were also more than a dozen injured and one dead.

It's just that what makes people feel strange is that although both sides of the weapon fight were basically captured by the Imperial Guard led by Xing Xue, the leader of the Axe Gang, Lokia, was not among them, and Shabak, the helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, was imprisoned.

According to the news announced by the Northern Governor's Office, it is said that because Shabak's heaven and earth will take the initiative to provoke, and the Axe Gang is only fighting back in self-defense, it is enough to directly deal with the relevant parties.

And although such a statement is obviously agreed by most people, after all, there are underworld gangs on both sides, and it is possible for whoever makes the first move to defend themselves and fight back, not to mention the low-level marginal people like them, who will really care about their life and death, so as to speak for them?

What's more, with Shabak's stubborn and pedantic personality, there were many officials who were unhappy with him, so it can be said that he was very happy when he was arrested, but it was Lokia's exoneration that made them breathe a sigh of relief, after all, Lokia is different from Shabak, he is a lord who bows down when he meets the mountain, and they who have a relationship of interest wish Lokia was fine, otherwise who would give them money to spend?

Therefore, this matter was only a few hours, and it was gradually forgotten by people under the impetus of a few ordinary people.

......

The sky was getting darker, and the imperial capital was shrouded in a hazy layer of blood under the setting sun, revealing some poignant scenery.

Cold Moon Imperial Capital, Duke's Mansion of Houston.

The Houston family is one of the five hereditary dukes of the Cold Moon Empire, and the luxurious villa naturally does not need to be introduced, after all, due to the merits of the ancestors, the mansions of the five major dukes are all funded by the imperial royal family, and even the specifications are in accordance with the regulations of the royal family, so it is difficult to think of grandeur.

And tonight here, a big dance party is taking place.

The soft golden lights, the graceful and beautiful dance music, the young lady holding the feather fan, wearing a beautiful long skirt and the graceful aristocratic son, constitute the most colorful and dazzling visual feast of the ball in front of you.

The pretty ladies had already accepted the invitations of many of their dance partners and were dancing merrily on the dance floor, while the rest of the young ladies sitting on the side looked for their own dance partners with jealous eyes.

At this moment, it seems that all people want to attract the attention of others, and they all want to be the center of attention.

The prom continues!

But at this moment, the earth-shattering shout of the master of ceremonies outside the door suddenly resounded throughout the hall.

"Imperial Northern Governor Hua Long and Miss Xue Ya - here!"

In the next moment, when the master of ceremonies opened the thick door, the music in the entire hall stopped abruptly, and even the nobles attending the banquet stopped talking.

For a while, all the hot eyes were condensed on the "newcomers".

At this time, Xue Ya took Hua Long's arm and stepped on the red carpet in this hall with a smile on her face.

And when they appeared, Xue Ya immediately clearly felt the jealous murderous gaze from those young ladies, as well as the men's full of desire, and in an instant, the respectful praise came like a tide, which made Xue Ya suddenly walk on the clouds, and her vanity burst instantly.

And Hua Long beside him is surprisingly calm at this time, but out of courtesy, for those who praise and compliment, he will still smile politely, but, in his heart, he is extremely disgusted with this kind of occasion, after all, on such an occasion, everyone is wearing a mask of hypocrisy, and even the words are full of lies and deception, what is there to be nostalgic for?

In his opinion, instead of accepting false praise and respect in such a place, it is better to have a drink and talk with friends, which is the joy of life.

It's just that for the sake of Xueya's fiancée's "face" problem, he still came tonight.

"So handsome!"

"The real person is more handsome than the newspaper one!"

"If he can invite me to dance, it's worth dying!"

“......”

Looking at Hua Long's extremely handsome face, the ladies present were more and more excited, they all wanted to dance with Hua Long, even Miss Xue Ya's nemesis, Lan Wu, thought so.

She's also coming to the ball tonight.

And the reason why they are the opposite, is nothing more than that when she was in the Imperial Royal Academy, Xue Ya had to compete with Lan Wu for everything, whether it was study, appearance, clothes, jewelry, or even villas and mansions, there was no exception, only one thing they didn't compete with, that is, male partners, when they were in the academy, Xue Ya liked Hua Yun, but Lan Wu didn't like it, although Hua Yun was very good, she still faintly felt that Hua Yun was not as good as she imagined, and there were some deliberate ingredients.

I have to say that in terms of looking at people, Lan Wu, whose appearance is not inferior to Xueya, is indeed slightly better!

"Is there a traffic jam on the road so late?"

Seeing Xue Ya coming with Hua Long, Lan Wu immediately greeted him with a charming smile.

Her blue dress with a white skirt gives people a fresh and energetic feeling, while the crimson dress worn by Xue Ya at this time with beige flowers gives people an irresistible charm.

In the eyes of all the men present, once these two people arrived, the whole ball was perfect!

"Bought something, there was a delay on the way. Xue Ya immediately chuckled, but while laughing, she didn't forget to glance at Hualong next to her a few times, and her expression was self-evident, obviously wanting to tell others that they were also together when they were shopping.

This is simply a show off of Chiguoguo!

On the other side, Lan Wu didn't care, nodded at Hua Long with a smile, and then asked Xue Ya, "Do you want to start?"

Blue Dance is extremely familiar with the road, and it is obvious that they will have to fight every dance party!

"Of course!" As the dance music in the hall sounded again, Xue Ya gradually became excited, "You just skipped it, so I didn't take advantage of it?"

"I just warmed up and I'm just getting started. ”

Hearing Lan Wu say this, the men present immediately let out bursts of cheers.

"It's just, what should he do? You shouldn't throw your fiancé aside, right?" As he spoke, Lan Wu carefully looked at Hua Long again, indeed, Hua Long was more handsome than described in the newspaper, and full of a different temperament.

Seeing Xue Ya's somewhat embarrassed expression at this time, Hua Long immediately said lightly: "You go, I'll wait for you." ”

With that, Hua Long walked alone towards the corner of the dance floor.

Suddenly, this scene made Xue Ya feel a little surprised, but her heart was warm.

"Your fiancé is really good," Lan Wu's eyes suddenly showed an approving look.

"He's just a stuffy jar, don't beat his idea!Okay, leave him alone, we must decide the winner today!" Xue Ya took one last look at Lan Wu's eyes, and was immediately a little surprised, but was immediately surrounded by the men who came to invite him to dance.

The sound of dance music in the hall reached a high level again, and on the dance floor, Xue Ya and Lan Wu began to dance and spin passionately with their respective dance partners!

In the corner of the hall, Hua Long chose the most corner of the hall to sit, although it was also noisy, at least there were not too many people.

After sitting down, Hua Long immediately took out the planting book he carried with him and began to read it slowly, but his behavior at this time seemed a little out of place with the lively dance party in front of him, but it also attracted the attention of many young ladies.

Of course, in addition to this, there are some envious, jealous and even gnashing of teeth.

Harder is one of them!

As the grandson of the Imperial Marshal, he was looking at Hua Long with a hostile expression at this time, while the nobles around him looked expectant, because they knew Hard's urine very well.

Although this guy is as fat as a pig, the methods of the whole person are one set in one, and Hua Long is afraid that he will be ugly soon!

Sure enough, after a few breaths, Hader suddenly called out to a waiter with a plate, and then gave him a gold coin, "I want to invite the Northern Governor to have a drink, you send this wine to the Northern Governor!"

The waiter nodded immediately, and then walked over to Hua Long with a glass full of red wine.

"Everyone is optimistic, the show is about to begin!" Harder suddenly laughed coldly, "There are at least four or five glasses of wine in that tray, if they are all poured on that Hualong's head, what do you think will happen?"

In the next moment, as if seeing Hua Long's appearance when he made a fool of himself, Harder immediately laughed loudly, and the fat on his face suddenly rose and fell like a meat maggot in a dung pit.

"The waiter can't be so stupid, right?" said the extremely famous nobleman next to him.

"He's not stupid, but we can help him. ”

With that, Hader pulled out a finger-sized steel ball from his pocket and clamped it in his hand, apparently trying to use it to hit the waiter's body joints, so that he could spill the wine in his hand on Hua Long's body.

And so much wine, if it is really spilled, it is really a free bath!

"What if I am discovered?" a timid nobleman immediately worried, after all, Hua Long's current identity is the Northern Governor, which is not comparable to these idle gentlemen.

"He hasn't cultivated, how can he be discovered!" For such a worry, Harder was obviously disdainful, after all, no matter what, he was also a "master", how could a powerless little white face be discovered?

Therefore, when the waiter was about to walk in front of Hua Long, Hard, who was aiming at the timing, immediately aimed the steel ball in his hand at the target and ejected it.
