121. Prom

The camp was filled with the sound of a cheerful organ at night, and a bonfire was lit in front of the open field at the camp gate, and countless torches enclosed the square, making the night appear brightly lit, the only drawback was that the temperature was too hot.

This was a dance party planned and organized by the war room of the expeditionary force, and the atmosphere was very warm, but these young nobles did not think about lighting so many torches on such a summer night, making the dance scene like a barbecue meeting, and the heat of the scene made those organizers sweat early, and in the end they took down all the torches around it, so that the entire hillside outside the camp became a dance floor, and it felt much better.

He Boqiang never thought that there were so many nobles in the camp of the expeditionary force, in addition to the positions of captains and above in each regiment headquarters were held by nobles, there were also a large number of young nobles in the war room, as well as people like Laurent. Goss came to the gilded little nobles on the battlefield like this.

Everyone wore aristocratic dresses to the ball at the same time, which opened He Boqiang's eyes.

It's a pity that the female swordsman tour group.

…… Oh no!

At the dance, more than forty female swordsmen were naturally eagerly sought after by the young nobles, and hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at the female swordsmen dancing on the dance floor with the music, probably thinking about what kind of reason they should find to invite them to dance the next dance after the music was over.

These female swordsmen seem to have carried with them gorgeous court-style evening dresses, the straps of that kind of evening dresses are very powerful, in He Boqiang's opinion, this kind of waist can even squeeze out the grass of Pingchuan. Ditch lai, the thick waist of the bucket is stretched into a willow thin waist, but under this costume, the women dare not speak loudly, let alone take a deep breath, as if they will faint from suffocation at any time.

The men at the ball wore a rapier or knight's sword at their waist, which was inconvenient when dancing, but since this was the camp at the forefront of the expeditionary force, it was an unwritten rule in the camp to wear weapons at the ball.

He Boqiang and Surdak stood next to the campfire, took out a peeling knife and quickly cut off a large piece of roasted lamb leg meat on the barbecue grill, and then held a wooden tray in hand, and took some smoked beef patties in the bacon area, filled two large trays before walking to the outskirts of the dance party contentedly.

Surdak carried a plate full of barbecue, took a peeling knife and put it into his mouth, the corners of his mouth were oily, his eyes were full of longing, and he said to He Boqiang:

"Little Dack, when I officially become a knight, maybe some noble lord will be willing to marry his daughter to me, if he does not have a son to inherit his title, then I am qualified to become a noble......"

He Boqiang listened to Surdak talk about his wife countless times, and listened to him talk about them hiding in the haystack to count the stars and sitting on the ridge in the wheat field......

At this time, when he actually talked about wanting to marry the daughter of a noble lord, He Boqiang glanced at Surdak speechlessly, and pointed to the wedding ring on his left ring finger.

"Are you reminding me that I'm already married, and that I should stop trying to marry the daughter of a noble lord?"

Seeing that Surdak finally correctly interpreted He Boqiang's simple gesture, He Boqiang nodded.

Then he stuffed a piece of tender lamb into his mouth, and then poured the rest of the roast meat into a leather bag.

These barbecues were brought to the soldiers of the second squad, and they could not eat all the grease in their mouths here, but the soldiers of the second squad, who had to wait until tomorrow morning to nibble on dry baked wheat cakes.

Probably because after drinking a glass of ale, I knew that I shouldn't give this guy a drink, and I had never seen a person with such a shallow amount of alcohol, and when he drank too much, he would nag and talk endlessly.

Surdak sighed at this time: "If I can become a nobleman, what does it matter if I get married, as long as I can afford to support them, I can actually marry a few more, who doesn't have a dream of being a nobleman......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I hope to have a manor house and a farm by the lake, and then I can build two beautiful villas on the manor, and you can choose one of them......"

He sometimes wanted to sew his broken mouth with threads, so that his world would be at least half clean, and the other half would be brought to him by Red Socks and Augustus.

Speaking of the back, Surdak couldn't help but pull He Boqiang's hand and didn't let go:

"I know! If it weren't for you, I would have been the leader of the second squad in the 57th Regiment at most, but now that I am a reserve knight and the deputy squadron leader of the 6th squadron, I never dared to imagine that there would be such a day......"

As he spoke, Surdak's eyes, which had been somewhat intoxicated, suddenly became sober, and he suddenly straightened his chest and greeted the young man who came from the noisy crowd with a smile:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hi! Laurent. Lord Goss, I just saw you dancing with a beautiful female swordsman. ”

The person in front of him turned out to be the young nobleman who was going through the reserve knight examination with Surdak. A distant relative of the Count of Goss, he was a baron of the third rank.

Laurent. Baron Goss came over with a glass of wine and greeted Surdak: "Hello, Knight Surdak. ”

He was wearing a somewhat worn-out aristocratic dress tonight, and his whole body was also filled with a sense of decadence, and his mental state was not very good, as if he had not recovered from the blow of the reserve knight assessment.

He sat on the stump opposite Surdak and complained to Surdak: "This ball is really boring, these guys are like beasts that exude male hormones, look at the longing in their eyes, in the light of the fire, how unscrupulous they can be, even the last bit of reserve has been extinguished, what is their aristocratic etiquette?" ”

He spoke a little excitedly, always like to wave his hands in front of him constantly, and his meticulously combed hair was a little scattered.

He Boqiang listened to him righteously criticize the nobles dancing on the dance floor, and he felt that he couldn't eat grapes and thought that grapes were sour.

At this time, Surdak pointed in the direction of the dance floor. Goss reminded:

"Ahem, Laurent. Lord Goss, there's a noble lady over there who seems to be watching you......"

Laurent. Goss turned sharply, and at a glance saw the female swordsman, whose face was sweating in the light of the campfire, smiling softly at him, squatting slightly with the hem of her evening gown.

Laurent. Goss seemed to be filled with energy in an instant, straightened his body all of a sudden, drank the unfinished wine in his hand in one gulp, and then stuffed the wine glass into Surdak's hand, his eyes became bright and looked at the female swordsman, his eyes were a little straight.

He said to Surdak, "Actually, I mean to say that this ball is quite interesting!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

He Boqiang wanted to know at the moment if he would become so neurotic after becoming a nobleman.

Then he glanced at Surdak, and Surdak in front of him had this trend.

"Why are you looking at me with that disgust......"

Surdak asked He Boqiang in confusion.

He also saw Baron Sidney and his beautiful fiancΓ©e, Miss Hathaway, at the ball.

But until the end of the dance, the two of them seemed to have just danced, although in front of outsiders, the two of them showed such a good match, but He Boqiang could feel that the relationship between the two of them was not as close as it seemed on the surface......
