=====================================================================
The venue of the party hall is very vast, even if Wang Xiaoming calculated in his heart that famous nobles from the whole Xili Empire gathered in this space, he would not have a feeling of "crowded" visually, which shows how large the area of this palace hall is. However, when you think that one of the functions of this hall is to hold banquets and dinners, it is understandable.
Since Bilica and Leslitt Ward were still outside the door to greet the visitors, the number of invited guests had not yet been fully gathered, so the nobles who had arrived first in the hall had left their seats to find familiar friends to talk to, and the meeting room naturally became a place of socializing. However, this kind of link is already a familiar procedure for aristocratic men and women who have been in high society for a long time.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who are reluctant to go away and choose to stay in their positions, and Wang Xiaoming is one of these "small numbers". Few members of the nobility knew them in this room, as did the magistrates of the various cities. Wang Xiaoming and the three of them came to the Xili Empire this time, and they were in a situation of "unfamiliarity", so naturally they would not take the initiative to find them, and the three of them did not need to do that at present, so when the surrounding nobles got together to talk and chat, Wang Xiaoming, Ji Ya and Gnavier, as well as Curris, sat directly in their places.
Wang Xiaoming asked Curris a little strangely: "Why doesn't anyone seem to talk to you?"
"Why do you think someone would look for me?"
"You're a national-level investigator. Isn't this a big official?"
"But no matter how big it is, it's also an inquisitor. Curis looked at Wang Xiaoming and said, "It is precisely because I, the investigator, are directly subordinate to the state, so I have a lot of authority, and only His Majesty the Emperor himself can order me, and I directly obey the emperor." Therefore, the nobles and administrators in this venue, to be honest, many of them have been checked by me. So, do you think they'll come over and say hello with a smile when they see me? Surely not, it's too late to avoid it. At the end of his speech, he laughed to himself.
Wang Xiaoming looked at Curris thoughtfully, nodded his head, and turned his head to the passages in the hall that were scattered around the doorways, which could only be said to be small doors compared to the entrance gate they entered. These small doors may lead to other areas, or they may be passageways around the entire venue. Wang Xiaoming saw that there were people standing on both sides of those small doors, and the task was of course to be responsible for leading the guests in, but Wang Xiaoming secretly guessed that these people might have other tasks.
"Speaking of which, Curris, aren't you going to help Bilica and Miss Isuzu?"
"Uh......" Curis was stunned, looked at the side of the gate, and then looked at Wang Xiaoming and Ji Ya and Gnavelle next to him hesitantly, "But you are ...... here"
"We won't get lost here, do you think we're kids? Why don't you go to accompany Her Royal Highness the princess and your childhood sweetheart?" Wang Xiaoming said with a smile on his face.
Although Wang Xiaoming said it very subtlely, Curis thought about it again and again, and felt that there was really no need to worry too much about the problems of the three of them, so he nodded, "Okay, you just stay here, if you want to go out and don't know the way, you can ask the people at the door, but remember not to run around, this is the palace after all, for tonight's birthday party, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor has arranged a certain number of soldiers to escort it." ”
"Understood!" Wang Xiaoming agreed very seriously.
is so serious, I always feel unreliable.
But Curris walked away anyway, looking for the Bilica at the gate. There are only three "own people" left, Wang Xiaoming, Ji Ya and Gnavelier.
"Good ......" Wang Xiaoming nodded again and began to unscrupulously observe the orientation of the entire venue. Originally, Curis didn't dare to be so presumptuous when he was there, but now that the person has left, Wang Xiaoming can observe wherever he wants.
"Are you investigating?" Ji Ya calmly drank the milk tea in her hand, which they had asked the court maids to offer after they sat down. Ji Ya in a suit may be the only highlight of Wang Xiaoming's table, she undoubtedly attracts a lot of attention as a woman with a handsome demeanor (among them, naturally young girls), and her elegant demeanor can amaze those who watch. At this time, Ji Ya changed back to the mode of Reles Academy.
"That's right. ”
"It's going to be too late. ”
"It's temporary, but it's better than nothing. Although in fact, whether or not these actions are done will not hinder the success rate of my actions, I still have to do the superficial work, otherwise it will be too incompetent. Wang Xiaoming let out a loud laugh, as if he didn't care that others would hear what he said. Gnavier next to him didn't have the heart to talk about him, because the girl only felt that Wang Xiaoming's indifferent behavior was a risk.
She had to remind the other party: "Don't be so loud, if you are heard, it will be a big trouble." ”
"It's okay, these people are busy socializing, and I'm not worried at all. Wang Xiaoming shrugged, then turned his head to the side, just then a middle-aged nobleman passed by his place.
Wang Xiaoming looked up and was immediately happy.
"Hey, hey, it's not ...... middle-aged and old"
"Shh!!h As soon as he saw Wang Xiaoming, and when Wang Xiaoming was about to call him, he immediately covered the other party's mouth in a panic to prevent him from "leaking" out.
"Don't call those five words, I have a name, my name is Drion! Count Drien, remember. After Wang Xiaoming nodded obediently, the Earl of Derien (who could finally be named) slowly lowered his hand.
"Count Drion, long time no see. Wang Xiaoming was indeed obedient, and greeted the Earl gently.
Count Drion, who finally didn't have to be called so ugly by the other party, breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone was naturally much more friendly, "It's been about two weeks, and it's been a long time. "But I hope never to see you!
Ji Ya said, "Lord Earl, you are also coming to the birthday party of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"Ah, yes. After all, it is a major day for Her Royal Highness the Princess, and it is also prepared by His Majesty the Emperor himself, so I, the little lord, must have come here, otherwise I would not have come back by cruise ship first. "But Earl Drion regretted it at this time, he would not have come back so early if he had known, but when he met Wang Xiaoming, a strange character, he was so haunted that he could meet him here.
Wang Xiaoming listened to the words of the Earl, and immediately let him sit on the seat next to him without saying a word, although the Earl of Derion was reluctant in every way, but he finally sat down obediently after fully experiencing Wang Xiaoming's mystery - who knows if he will suddenly get nervous in this scene of aristocratic forces?
I saw Wang Xiaoming gently ask Earl Drion:
"Are you from the emperor's faction, or from the great nobles?"
Earl Drion's pupils immediately closed, and then he retracted his head and stared at Wang Xiaoming warily, "What do you mean by that?"
"Literally. Wang Xiaoming looked at him strangely, "You should know what I want to ask, right?"
But you are too direct to ask tactfully?—Ji Ya and Gnavelle thought to themselves.
But Count Drion still didn't answer, just looked at Wang Xiaoming with a wary expression. He wanted to leave directly, but because of Wang Xiaoming's strange behavior that he had done, he didn't dare to walk away, so he could only stalemate like this.
"You don't have to be so wary of me, I know Inspector Curris, Miss Chito Isuzu, Her Royal Highness Princess Bilica, Master Rashlit Ward, and His Majesty Emperor Picca. So if you tell the truth, it's not a problem. Wang Xiaoming said with a smile.
The people who knew each other one after another were not ordinary people, and what he said was true or false? Especially with Emperor Picca......
Derion couldn't see the disguise on Wang Xiaoming's face, maybe this young man's expression was deeper than that of a Jianghu figure of his age, and after thinking about it again, Lord Earl still decided to say his answer.
"There is no doubt that I am firmly on the side of His Majesty the Emperor. My faithfulness is verifiable!"
Wang Xiaoming immediately showed an approving look, "I believe your words are true." Rest assured, His Majesty the Emperor is wise and promising, your choice will definitely not be wrong, and if you stand on the right position, you and your descendants will not have to worry about their lives. ”
Getting this sentence, Count Drion seemed to be liberated, and the whole person was relaxed. He didn't know why, the young man in front of him actually had such a powerful ability aura.
Jia, Gnavele: This guy is really good at bluffing.
At this time, the exclamations of many nobles attracted the attention of the four people, and it turned out that another noble figure had come in. Although every time some nobles come in, the people in the venue will always pay some attention, but this time the characters who came in may not be ordinary.
Count Drion's tone suddenly became serious: "It's Duke Henk. ”
"Duke Henk, what is he coming from, is he very powerful?" Wang Xiaoming asked the Earl like a student.
“...... One of the great nobles in the Cili Empire, do you say it's powerful?" Count Derien looked at Wang Xiaoming suspiciously, obviously knowing Curis, a national-level investigator, and also knowing that there were factions of the emperor and the great nobles in the country, but he didn't know Duke Henk?
"Please don't look at me like an ignorant child, believe it or not, I call you by your nickname. ”
"Don't call me by that name again, and that's not a nickname! ”
"I think it's pretty good, it's kind of for you, haha. ”
The Earl of Drion was helpless, and simply did not refute.
Seeing that Duke Henk's face was calm, he always felt a little gloomy, so she asked, "Why do I think he seems to be a little unhappy?"
Ji Ya nodded, "I also think that even if he pretends to be normal, a little gloom in his eyes shows that his inner emotions are not as they appear to be. ”
"Yes, why?" asked the questioner, Wang Xiaoming, to the earl teacher again.
Count Drion looked at Ji Ya and Gnavier in surprise at the two seemingly ordinary girls (as for Wang Xiaoming, he had long since forgotten to pay attention to them), "This is normal, because his precious son was assassinated a few days ago. ”
"Wow! That's a big deal, and he's still in the mood to come to the party. Wang Xiaoming was amazed.
"Moreover, the assassin of his son was a woman from the Sea Clan. Earl Drion looked at Wang Xiaoming at this time and said.
Wang Xiaoming was stunned for this moment, and then looked at the other party as well.
"Shouldn't the women of the Sea Tribes be ......?"
The Earl nodded.
"That's right, it's the Sea Tribesman woman we caught on our cruise ship and turned herself in. ”
The woman who was inspired by Wang Xiaoming's words "come on".
