Chapter 4 Meetings
"Oh, I see. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "The sixth lady smiled a little subtlely.
However, she still did not dare to be too presumptuous about Caesar, the future heir designated by the general. And the sixth lady is very smart and has the unique sensitivity of a woman, she can see from Jasmine's reaction after seeing Caesar, the relationship between these two people is probably not a simple "former classmate".
The Sixth Lady pondered how to use words to cover Caesar's words again.
But Caesar didn't give her a chance, and preemptively said, "By the way, what about the General? I have something to do with him, but it seems that it is difficult to see him these days." β
The sixth lady said, "Oh, the general, he has official business today, and he will go out early in the morning.
The Sixth Lady could not finish speaking, because an invisible force gently but irresistibly sealed the words behind her, and the person who did this was not Caesar, and certainly could not be Jasmine, but an old man in black who appeared in this small garden at some point.
"Sixth Lady. The old man bowed and smiled, "It's none of your business here, please go about your own business." β
The old man in black was very respectful, but the content of his words was very surprising, he called Madame in his mouth, but in fact it was no different from drinking off a maid in the general's mansion!
Jasmine stood aside, unconsciously stunned.
The girl couldn't help but look at Caesar again, but found that Caesar had a subtle and strange look on his face, and looked at the old man in black with a little coldness, as if he was a little mocking, but there was not much surprise.
Caesar certainly wouldn't be surprised by the presence of the old man in black, because this was the man who had been watching him for the past few months.
The sixth lady was a little confused, but she seemed to recognize the old man, and she also understood that the other party's sudden appearance should be to prevent her from telling the general's whereabouts.
The situation had become a little strange, and the Sixth Lady muttered to herself, glancing at Caesar again, wondering if she didn't want this little imp to know the general's itinerary?
"Then I'll go first. The Sixth Lady smiled reluctantly and said.
has been in the General's Mansion for a long time, and one of her major experiences is not to blindly mix things that she doesn't understand, and the sixth lady is very good at bullying newcomers like Jasmine, but she has always been very well-behaved in the face of those who are more powerful than her.
Before leaving, the sixth lady didn't forget to glare at Jasmine fiercely, as if to say: You wait for me, our business is not over yet.
Jasmine's body shook slightly, and her pretty face turned even paler.
Then Caesar suddenly said, "Jasmine is my friend." β
The Sixth Lady and Jasmine were stunned.
Caesar said this to the old man in black.
The old man nodded, turned to the sixth lady and said, "Sixth lady, I hope that you and Mrs. Jasmine can get along amicably in the future." β
The sixth lady was stunned for a long time, and finally had to smile reluctantly: "When, of course." There's nothing unfriendly about it, haha, hehehe......"
After the sixth lady walked away in embarrassment, the scene became very silent for a while.
Jasmine wanted to say thank you to Caesar, but she didn't dare to speak, and Caesar didn't mean to look at her, just stared at the old man in black lightly.
This made Jasmine a little confused, and it didn't seem good to leave, and it didn't seem good to stay.
I only heard Caesar smile and took the lead in speaking: "Just now the sixth lady said that the general has official business today?"
Yes, Caesar actually didn't intervene to stop the deliberate troubles of the Sixth Lady just because of Jasmine, he is now under house arrest in the General's Palace, not only his freedom is restricted, but even the news is blocked.
So as for the general's whereabouts, he has become more and more unpredictable recently.
Caesar wanted to get a clichΓ© from the mouth of the Sixth Lady just now, but was stopped by the old man in black who had been watching him.
This old man can be regarded as a butler in the General's Mansion, and he is usually very low-key, and even people like Jasmine, who have not been in the General's Mansion long enough, don't know him at all.
The old man looked at Caesar and asked, "Caesar, why are you so concerned about the general's itinerary?"
Caesar laughed and said, "As the future heir appointed by the general himself, can't I even ask about this matter?"
"Of course not. The old man smiled, "But I don't know, or Caesar you wait, and the general will probably summon you to dinner with you." β
Caesar cursed in his heart.
Caesar was silent for a moment, then spoke again, "I want to see my companion on the Dragon Quest, Hughes. And my soul mercenary, pathetic. β
A hint of mockery flashed in the slightly cloudy eyes of the old man in black, and he said with a smile: "These two are very good, don't worry about Caesar, you can stay in the mansion with peace of mind." β
Caesar said, "Is this a clear indication that I will not be allowed to leave the house?"
"Not bad. The old man nodded slightly, and did not deny it.
Caesar smiled coldly, raised his voice and said, "As the heir of the general, I can't go out of the palace to see my friends in other parts of the imperial capital?
The old man in black smiled, his eyes became cold, but a layer of wind and thunder power gradually appeared on his body.
The first snow of this winter had just fallen today, and there was a layer of snow in the garden that was not thick but not thin, but at this moment the snowflakes were suspended one by one, silently flying around the old man's body.
Strong power fluctuations swept through the space, and Jasmine couldn't help but take two steps back, only to feel a little difficult to breathe.
At the same time, she felt very surprised and confused, and did not understand what was going on, why the old man had suddenly shown such great power, was this to suppress Caesar?
Looking at the strength of this power, I'm afraid it's only half a step away from the fifteenth-level level, infinitely approaching the threshold of the Imperial Academy!
"Caesar, you are the general's designated heir, and as a subordinate of the general, I will naturally become your subordinate in the future, and I dare not be disrespectful to you. The old man's voice was faint and cold, a little not like a living person, and it made people feel cold, "But if you insist on leaving the house, I have no choice but to take a hand to learn it." If you want to get out of the house, step on my corpse!"
A strong force oppressed Caesar.
The snow particles hit his face rapidly, mixed with the power of high-density wind and thunder, as if countless miniature sharp blades were scraping, making Caesar's face ache for a while.
"It seems that General Lan really gave a death order. Caesar looked at the old man in black who was full of high-density energy, and sighed in his heart.
For a moment, Caesar almost couldn't help but go up and do it, deep down Caesar was a very proud person, he never lowered his head in battle, but the feeling of being under house arrest this time was really too aggrieved, and it made Caesar especially disgusted.
This old guy still thinks that he is a rookie at level 12, so he wants to press himself hard by relying on his superiority in level and energy.
Hell, Caesar thought to himself that if he went up and did it hard at this time, he would definitely be able to knock this annoying old guy straight down.
It's just, what about after the fight?
This question flashed through his mind, and in an instant it was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, which made Caesar instantly regain his composure, and then feel a wave of irritability and powerlessness.
Under the circumstance that General Lan didn't trust himself and sent such a kraft candy to follow him 24 hours a day, let alone leave the empire and go to the north, it would be difficult to even step out of this general's mansion!
At this time, someone next to me suddenly said, "Excuse me, what is the situation?"
The old man in black was slightly stunned, and slightly restrained his strength.
Snowflakes fell one after another, revealing the figure of a young girl who had come to the garden at some point.
The girl was about the same age as Jasmine, holding a cute little cat in her arms, and looked at the three people at the scene and asked, "Whose cat is this?" When I came, I saw it climb a small tree and couldn't get down. β
Jasmine sighed and hurriedly walked up, this is her lost cat.
And this girl who appeared in the garden, Jasmine and Caesar both knew - it was also their classmate in the experimental department during the Aoki City period, Xu Wenjing of Earth Street.
Wen Jing smiled and handed the kitten to Jasmine, and when she saw the slap mark on Jasmine's face that had not yet dissipated, she was slightly stunned, but she didn't say anything.
In Caesar's impression, Wen Jing is a typical excellent son from a big family, very capable, and understands all kinds of human feelings and sophistication very early.
I saw Wen Jing seriously saluted the old man in black first, and said very politely: "Butler Lan, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
Before Elaine returned to Earth Street with her pit daddy and obtained the inheritance of Earth Street at that masquerade banquet last winter, Wen Jing had always been a strong candidate for the future heir of Earth Street.
So she is very familiar with some really important people in the empire.
For example, the old man in front of him, who didn't know his real name and just called himself "Butler Blue", although he didn't have any military rank, he was one of General Lan's cronies, and his actual power was probably greater than that of ordinary imperial school officials.
Butler Lan also returned the salute and said, "Hello Miss Wenjing, I didn't know you were coming to the house today......
"Oh, well, I'm here for Caesar. Wen Jing said with a smile.
"Caesar?" Butler Lan frowned, silent for a moment, obviously waiting for Wen Jing's follow-up explanation.
In fact, Caesar himself was also stunned, unlike the outside world, how could he even know how to know that someone had been missing in the empire at present, let alone contact Wen Jing.
"That's right, you old man must know the current state of the empire. Wen Jing continued to say politely, "Now in order to solve the problem of the people who the battle mage has been arresting us, all parties held a meeting at the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Military Department today to discuss, Caesar is the hero of the two Dragon Dao trial missions, there is no reason not to participate." β
Caesar listened beside him, secretly surprised, and listened to Wen Jing's meaning, today at the headquarters of the military department, the high-level leaders of all the big forces in the south are having a meeting, this is what the sixth lady said about official business before?
General Lan did a really good job of blocking his own news. Caesar was completely excluded from such a big matter! Not to mention participating in it, he didn't even have the qualifications to know!
At this time, Butler Lan said lightly: "I'm sorry, the general has given an order, let me take care of Caesar, supervise him to cultivate well, and don't need to pay attention to too many mundane affairs." β
Wen Jing pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, I know, but at the meeting just now, General Lan personally agreed to let Caesar go to the meeting." That's why I'm here to call someone. β
"What?" Butler Lan was completely stunned. (To be continued.) )
