Chapter 60: The Banquet

As night fell, the promotion banquet was held at the consul's mansion, and in the eyes of the outside world, the specifications of this banquet were really a bit excessive, not only the local nobles were present, but even the lieutenant general Cyno arrived in a carriage.

Half of the captains of the Second Fleet had already shown up shortly after the banquet began, and a captain of a fifth-class ship took the initiative to take on the duty of entertaining the guests.

No matter what the reason behind it, Mogg can be regarded as ushering in a wave of life peaks, even in the royal capital, banquets of this specification are rare.

Mogg led his son to greet his colleagues, and when it was someone's turn, he tapped his son on the shoulder.

"Call uncle."

Mu Yun's smile froze, the titular protagonist of today's banquet looks to be seventeen or eighteen years old, between teenagers and young adults, but the problem is that he is not old yet.

"Hello uncle."

"Hello."

Mogg bowed his head with a little satisfaction, and after signaling to Mu Yun's eyes, he continued to move forward with the child, the member of the Archon Secretariat is a very important position, with this banquet as the foundation, the promotion of Mogg's son will be extremely easy, and reputation is a wonderful thing.

The dance troupe of Leipzig's largest opera venue is dancing, they are uniformly wearing white suspender stockings, wrapping round and slender legs, the scenery looms under the short skirt, and the white arms are stretched out like swans. No one watched the dance, and Mu Yun could only sigh that time and space could not stop the convergence of aesthetics.

He found a slightly remote table to sit down, on which were all kinds of desserts, tea and wine, cold food was fish and shrimp sashimi, a specialty of the neighborhood, and hot dishes resembling roast chicken were glistening with grease.

The venue was magnificent, the mansion itself was used for guests, four rows of white stone pillars lined the perimeter, famous paintings hung on the walls, and firewood was burning in the huge fireplaces on both sides, and the slight crackling sound was drowned out by the sound of people communicating with each other.

On the left side of the front of the venue, the opera troupe set up musical instruments, long and elegant music floated, and soon, a plump figure, revealing a large area of snow-white skin of the noble lady sat down in front of the solo instrument, she was wearing a dark red dress, showing the hip waist curve to the fullest, the banquet also became more lively, everyone tacitly gave way to the middle of the venue, and gradually, the ballroom dance session began in pairs.

"Upscale banquets, upscale venues, and nasty me." Mu Yun sent a bite of shrimp sashimi to his mouth, the sweet and smooth taste bloomed on the taste buds, he usually opened [Lingyu Scales] to hide his charm, and no one could find him without serious business.

On the second floor, Lieutenant General Cyno, Logistics Officer Flor, Leipzig Consul, Marquis Nance, and four old men were gathering at a small table on the second floor.

It is very troublesome to meet directly, it is equivalent to practicing high jump on the nerve line of the center, even if the reason for the banquet is far-fetched, it can be regarded as an attitude, if these four people go crazy together, they can set off a large-scale rebellion in the north of the kingdom, and the possibility of success is basically none, but the north is destined to erode, in case it can win over a strong person with a title, it can even be said that there is a theoretical probability of victory.

After the dance troupe finished the performance, the girls began to take the initiative to find guests who did not have a dance partner for the time being, and their role was the atmosphere group, and the whole banquet was actually the background board of the four people.

"Hello, is it Mr. Loren, I heard Mr. Mogg mention you."

A tall girl walked over, she was a member of the dance troupe just now, her appearance was exquisite, and after getting closer, someone found that the other party's top was hollow on the middle line of the abdomen, only a few small ropes were staggered and entangled, revealing a lovely navel, and the edge of the thigh was strangled by white socks, which looked very fleshy.

Mu Yun stared at the girl's face for a few seconds, but unfortunately this guy's smile was completely flawless, and even his cheeks flushed with a hint of blush because of the enthusiastic gaze.

"Mr. Loren, my name is Ann Li."

"Good name."

Mu Yun got up and took the other party's hand and asked, "Are you interested in a dance, Miss Ann Li." ”

"It's my pleasure."

The two moved to the middle of the venue, and naturally joined the ballroom dance army, Mu Yun followed the music to the beat, although he had not learned the general ballroom dance of the kingdom, but it would be almost the same after watching it a few times just now, and An Li was from a dance troupe, and the movements of the two were quite smooth.

Mu Yun grabbed the other party's weak waist.

There are no weapons.

"Mr. Loren, too, too close."

An Li felt the exhalation close at hand, and her beautiful and delicate eyebrows began to tremble slightly, and she realized that the other party was much better looking than in the gray and white photo.

"I'm sorry." Mu Yun politely distanced himself, "Miss An Li doesn't come home so late, won't the family be worried." ”

The girl smiled shyly, but did not stop dancing, and replied: "My mother died very young, and my father could not quit playing cards, but my brother is very competitive, and last year he was admitted to the public naval academy in Leipzig, and now I have no problem not going back for a night." ”

When talking about her brother, the girl's eyes revealed a trace of pride that could not be concealed.

"Tuition is expensive."

"It's not expensive, but my father's expenses are too big, and I always want to leave the dance company, but unfortunately I am the only source of income in the family."

Ann Li pursed her lips and said with a hint of pity, "Mr. Loren is so beautiful. ”

"General."

A round of ballroom dancing ended, and the first group politely exited, after all, there were others waiting in line.

The two sat back in the corner.

Mu Yun quickly and gracefully stuffed the sashimi into his mouth, and he might not have a chance for a while.

"Mr. Loren has a good amount of food."

Mu Yun said with a smile: "I used to be able to eat two roast chickens and two bowls of noodles in one meal, and I could run on the snow without sleep for three days and three nights. ”

"Is it when you were a child, I just know that your performance in naval battles is very eye-catching, and bad women are terrible."

"A little girl like you, it's best to run away when you meet her, I might be relieved if she plays with a whip or something, but that's a pervert who uses training as an excuse to train her."

An Li covered her mouth when she heard this.

"Cruel?"

"No, basically what you want and give what. It's late at night, I'll take you home. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Loren, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to leave until the banquet was over."

An Li followed Mu Yun out of the Archon's Mansion.

As the night darkens, the streets begin to thin out, but the taverns and eateries on both sides are still lit up.

An Li gradually grabbed Mu Yun's arm, her clothes were slightly thin under the evening breeze, and she walked through an alley, and the fast wind blowing from it made her shiver.

Mu Yun took off his uniform jacket and wanted to put it on for the girl, and in the next second, a dagger as thin as a cicada's wings cut through the fabric and slashed at the neck, but unfortunately, the coat was towards the girl's head.
