Chapter 161: The Banquet
ps: the third update
When he left, Gu Lilu glanced back at the girl, and the other party was also looking at him, his bright eyes full of curiosity. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What is Daphne looking at?" asked a middle-aged man, who was not angry and arrogant, stood next to his daughter, looking at the soldiers who were training.
"It's nothing, the Prime Minister led a group of people to visit just now! Daddy!" Daphne smiled.
"Oh!" Mo Shilin looked at the shadow of the carriage leaving, not knowing what he was thinking, and then glanced at the soldiers of the Land of White Water. Sighing, "Daphne, get ready, come with me to a banquet!"
"What banquet?" Daphne asked with confused eyes, as if wondering if there was any big ball lately?
Who is that girl? Gu Lilu's heart was filled with such a thought.
Leaving the barracks, Gu Lilu's expression was a little lonely. was seen by Kawana in the eyes, and when he was in private, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?" Even at the banquet specially for the envoy of Magu Liruo, Gu Lilu didn't seem to be interested in the slightest, and yawned for a long time.
On the stage in the middle, groups of ladies and gentlemen in tuxedos were dancing ballroom dances, playing unknown music, the dance posture was not very beautiful, but it was better than Gu Lilu who could not dance.
"It's okay!" Gu Lilu looked at the dance floor boredly, shook his head, supported his chin, and deliberately looked around, indicating that he was fine, and muttered: "Why hasn't the king of the country of white water come yet?"
"Wait a minute, little brother, the king will be coming soon!" said Smit, dressed in fine clothes.
Taking advantage of Kawana's lack of attention, Gu Lilu quietly came to a remote corner with Smit that others couldn't see.
"Little brother, who are you?" a puzzled look appeared on Smit's old face, not knowing what Gu Li wanted to do mysteriously.
"Hey, ask you something!" Gu Li looked around suspiciously, found that Kawana was not there, and then quickly asked in a low voice.
"You say, if there is anything you need my help with, I will definitely help you!"
"Who was that girl in the barracks just now?" Gu Lilu said with a shy face, and Smit opened his mouth wide, just for this? Girl?Barracks?Just now?Smit is old, and his memory is not as good as before, and even if the recent events are irrelevant, he will not deliberately remember them, and as for the previous time in the barracks, he didn't see any girls! Maybe he didn't pay attention? But looking at other people's expressions doesn't look like a fake.
"What are you kid doing here, don't run blind!!" Kawanai didn't see Gu Li's figure in the venue, and he was afraid that something would cause trouble, so he immediately looked for it, and found that this bastard boy was staying with Smit, and he knew that there was nothing good when he looked at it.
"Lilu, pay attention to yourself, this is not Magukuro, we are in a hostile state with the country of white water! Don't forget that the task given to you by the city is to protect me!!"
"Yes!" Gu Lilu didn't dare to have too much justification on this issue, and nodded again and again.
"Friend of Maguriro, please come this way, the king will soon be here!" cried Smit, pointing to the leather sofa.
Gu Lilu was very disappointed that he didn't ask the identity of the girl from Smit's mouth, and he didn't have much heart for the so-called banquet, and he was about to say to Chuan Nai that he would go back to the embassy first, and just raised his feet and walked out....
At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door,
"I see who is coming, it turns out to be General Mo Shilin!" Smit, as the prime minister, immediately went out to greet him, and said with a smile.
And Mo Shilin, a middle-aged man who had just walked in, and a sense of non-anger and self-authority suddenly spread, beside him was a blonde and blue-eyed beautiful girl who gently held his arm, wearing a noble white evening dress, with a smile, a wavy curly hair unique to Westerners, a slender waist, accompanied by bursts of ladylike laughter, and kept nodding to the people around him.
Someone immediately came up and said hello.
Gu Lilu, who was just about to raise his feet and go out, saw this girl, and was immediately stunned, looking at the other party intently, looking like a pig brother, and couldn't move his steps.
"Hello!" The girl obviously noticed Gu Lilu's presence as well, after all, Maguliro's costume was too distinctive, made of animal skins and linen, and was very durable. The girl smiled lightly and greeted Gu Lilu, obviously the girl in the barracks had already seen Gu Lilu and Chuan Nai and others before, and she could see that this was the messenger sent by Magu Liruo and making trouble in the city.
"Hello!" Gu Lilu came back to his senses, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said with a somewhat shy expression.
"Who is this?" Kawana walked over and looked past the girl and instead at the middle-aged man.
"Oh, I'll introduce you to some, this is ......"
"Hello, I'm the general of the Second Legion, my name is Mo Shilin!" Mo Shilin said indifferently, stepped forward and shook Kawanna's hand, and then introduced, "This is my daughter on the side, Daphne!"
"Hello, beautiful young lady! My name is Gu Lilu, Gu is that Gu, Li is the inside of the inside, and the killing is the killing of the killing! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Gu Lilu couldn't wait for Smidt, and began to introduce himself to Daphne, and tremblingly held the other party's little hand with white gloves, lowered his body, and kissed him very gentlemanly. It's just that the nondescript scene is a little funny.
"I seem to have seen you in the barracks!" Daphne smiled, and then whispered a few words to Mo Shilin as he looked at Gu Lilu.
Mo Shilin nodded, and said in a cold tone, "You play by yourself first, I still have something to ......"
"Good!" said Daphne, like a fluttering butterfly, picking up a goblet and finding a place to sit down.
"Daphne!" Gu Lilu also said to Kawanai in a hurry, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he learned to pick up the red wine from the plate held by the attendant, and then came to Daphne's side in a pretended manner. Kawana was dumbfounded, it turned out to be someone else's girl. No wonder!
"I heard that you are from Maguriro, is this true?" Daphne said very enthusiastically, without the shy look of an oriental woman at all, and a pair of blue eyes were always on Gu Lilu's body.
"Of course!" Compared to Daphne's generosity, Gu Lilu was very shy, and he didn't know where to put it.
"I've never been to the first level of Purgatory, what's there?" Daphne asked curiously.
"That's a lot...... Gu Lilu slowly began to talk with emotion, the more he talked, the more he let go, and the more he talked, the more he felt that the girl in front of him was very interesting......
On the side, Mo Shilin's face looked at Prime Minister Smit with a somewhat ugly face.
"Smit, you'd better give me an explanation, what the hell is going on?"
"General, that's what the king meant, I didn't inform you!!!I'm afraid you'll hurt yourself!!," said Smit, raising his glass to the people who came and went, and said with a unchanged face.
"This is not in accordance with the rules! When we sent someone to send an envoy to Maguriruo, it was not so grand!" Mo Shilin was no wonder why he was so unhappy, when the diplomat came back and talked to the king and others about the treatment in Maguliruo, which made these indignant for a long time.
"There's no way around it, if you have the ability, you'll get rid of those barbarians from Magkuriro! What are you yelling at me??" said Smit with a cold snort and a look of disdain. Now three of the six cities are in the hands of the other party, and even the most important military points are surrounded by Maguruo, life and death are unknown, and there is no way to do anything but sue for peace, and now the king is still in charge, and he has no intention of transferring the general to come back, which makes Smit, as the prime minister, embarrassed, and can only do this kind of thing, in the final analysis, it is still Mo Shilin, who is not a military general.
"What do you mean by that?" Mo Shilin had not recovered from his injuries that day, and the wound was faintly painful when he was so angry with Smit.
"General, you are a military general, I am a civil official, the situation is already obvious, even we have no way to deal with these people in Magukuri, I think I was also a strong opponent of the king at the beginning, attacking the third layer of purgatory, now it is better to ....." said Smit was also angry, and his knuckles were white and clenched the goblet in his hand. He couldn't help shaking the blood-colored liquid and sneered.
"Are you just watching those barbarians ride on top of us?" Mo Shilin clenched his fists, and if it weren't for such a formal occasion, he would almost have shouted at Smidt.
"Don't be angry, General, watch your body!" Smit wandered away from Mo Shilin's body for a moment.
"You!!" Mo Shilin didn't understand what the other party meant, that is, he was sarcastically stealing chickens and rice, leading troops for many years, and having rich experience, he was actually planted in the hands of Ma Gu Liruo, and it was really ridiculous to be ambushed by the other party in the first battle.
"Then it depends on the king's intentions, don't say it, the king is here, if you want to, go and ask yourself! In short, don't bother me! I have been accompanying Marguriru's friends recently!" After Smit finished speaking, he walked away indifferently, leaving the stunned Mo Shilin. After listening to Gu Lilu's evaluation of the army, if what he said is true, Ma Gu Li Ruo is too terrible, Smit actually believes most of it, Mo Shilin came back halfway through the night attack that day, obviously he was ambushed by the other party, Ma Gu Li Ruo is definitely not to be underestimated, his heart is also alive, and he began to plan for himself, so it is only a matter of time before the country of white water will perish.
"The King has arrived!"
The venue immediately fell silent, and many people gathered around Kawana to ask questions, and at this time they also dispersed.
"This is the king, why do you have to draw a curtain?" asked Gu Lilu strangely.
"The king is seriously ill, so it is inconvenient to see people!" Daphne explained, taking a sip of red wine.
Daphne and Gu Lilu talked happily with each other, it was like seeing each other late, Gu Lilu was attracted by the other party's generous and cheerful personality, and Daphne was also giggled by Gu Lilu's erudition, humor, and clever tongue.
As for diplomatic matters, Gu Lilu didn't want to think about it at all, and just wanted to stay with Daphne.
"My father is calling me, I'll go first!" Daphne turned her head and smiled at Gu Lilu.
"Okay, you go first!" Gu Lilu felt inexplicably disappointed in his heart, nodded, looking at the appearance of the middle-aged man, he was probably a military general, is this her father? No wonder he saw Daphne in the barracks.
