Chapter 054: A Legendary Coward

It took Qi Lang a night to figure out the whole thing, and the source of the news was Longnose Gulf again.

According to the official explanation, when North and his wife were negotiating a deal in Meesburg, they happened to meet the Hao Song Troupe from the north, as loyal fans of Zhu Lai and famous nobles in the region, of course they wanted to have an East Banquet. And Zhu Lai is also worthy of being a big star, after a few jokes, he quickly became familiar with them, as if he had known friends for half a century.

As the Orchestra had to rush to the royal capital of Asaph Castle to celebrate the fiftieth birthday of King Henry X, at the time of farewell, Mr. North made another reluctant request: to bring his wife back to Shach, because he estimated that he would have to communicate with the high-ranking official for a while before he could have a chance to obtain the trade agency of Mesburg, and the business of Shachttown could not be abandoned for too long. At the same time, he also hopes that Mr. Zhu Lai can get to know his son, and the cute little Fili also has a heart that is keen on entertainment.

Considering Mr. North's hospitality, and the fact that the Hao Song Troupe was indeed unfamiliar, and that they had given an additional box of Cabernet Sauvignon, Zhu Lai gladly accepted Mr. North's entrustment, loaded the precious and glamorous goods into the car, and drove all the way to the northern town of Xiaqi.

As for what had happened in the carriage, Mrs. North had clarified everything when she woke up. She admits that she shouldn't continue to force Zhu Lai to continue drinking, but the relationship between the two is as pure and clean as the water of the Etsui River.

It made sense, but Gulf and many of the soldiers thought it was nonsense. They've already devised countless versions of the story, all of which are popular with lads of this age.

Felix was unlucky, and he became the focus of discussion in the town, and some people even helped him change his surname in private, calling him Jufili instead of the original Felix Wancher. He's humming in the weather now, and he's not very pleasing to anyone, and he often vents his anger on a few of his henchmen. It was all the work of his dear mother.

However, Felix can't go to trouble the Hao Song Troupe anymore, because Zhu Lai's identity has been confirmed, and now almost the whole world has heard about his birthday celebration for the king. You must know that King Henry only celebrates his fiftieth birthday once in his life, and those who are qualified to celebrate it are all heads and faces, and I heard that the invitations also include Scarlett of the Luman Empire, the acrobatic troupe of the Mingyu Kingdom, and even the Otto Empire will send an aerial dance troupe to help the fun.

According to the plan, the Hao Ge Troupe will stay in Xia Qi Town for about half a month, and they need to rehearse for a while to design their performance in the palace. This was another very important event, which aroused the extreme attention of Lieutenant Colonel William, and it seemed that he was even more nervous than when the Twenty-sixth War Regiment encountered the Earth Dragon. He mobilized all the resources in his hands to cooperate with the drills of the Hao Song Troupe, and even Captain Dodim was withdrawn, and he took care of Zhu Lai and their daily life wholeheartedly, and those mountains of documents could be left behind for the time being.

Dodim was certainly happy to accept the assignment, as he and Zhu Lai were already old acquaintances. According to Gulf, when Dodim traveled in the East, he had dealt with Zhu Lai, and for some reason, the two of them formed a deep friendship, and now is a good opportunity for old friends to catch up. In addition, Dodim was one of the very few non-commissioned officers in the Luman Empire who could not have mastered Middle-earth, and it was only fitting that he would entertain the Hao Song Troupe.

The rehearsals were arranged at the opera house, which was open to the public, but it was ticketed, and even the farthest seats cost 10 Bernies, provided you could grab them, of course. Compared to the average resident, the soldiers were able to take advantage of the fact that they were responsible for keeping safe and maintaining order, which was actually a free opportunity to watch the theater. It was a sought-after job, and even Gulf applied three times to get a one-night assignment.

After his mission, Gulf continued to boast to Qi Lang about the artistic marvels he had admired, as if the ghost-weeping performance surpassed his beloved art of archery.

"You have to listen to the song "Dedicated to Lil", it's so perfect, it's just a natural sound. Gulf sat stupidly by the Etri River for a long time, and his high-pitched and clear voice seemed to be echoing in his head, and finally he couldn't help but interrupt Qi Lang's drill, "You must listen to it when you have a chance, buddy, 'Don't be a hundred years later, get drunk', oh my God, when I hear this, I'm going to cry." ”

The two sentences that Gulf had learned were clearly out of tune, quite close to Iglu's howl, and there were many deviations in pronunciation. Qi Lang, who had been so noisy that he couldn't calm down, sat on the stone and snorted angrily: "Less, Gulf." He sings in Middle-earth, can you understand what he says? and what kind of nonsense he was so moved that he wanted to cry, but you really have it!"

Gulf pursed his lips, obviously quite disdainful of Qi Lang's incomprehension: "Haven't you heard that hazy is called art? It was precisely because I didn't understand it that I felt that it was perfect to the extreme. But I really have to ask you, one day you will have time to write down the lyrics for me so that I can sing them to the girls in the future. ”

"Don't forget, you already have Shokin!" Qi Lang reminded Gulf maliciously, "Even if you want to sing to Lieutenant Maggie, you still have a lot of competitors, including Sean, Mario, Church, ......"

"Hey, that's enough!" Gulf was enraged, and his numb face turned red again, but he yelled, and quickly calmed down - it was boring to lose his temper with a good friend over this. He sat down grinning again, "You're such a bastard guy. But why don't you always get along with Zhu? I heard that he is your hometown. There is a saying, 'When a fellow sees a fellow countryman, his eyes are full of tears'. ”

"My tear ducts are already broken. Qi Lang said weakly, "And I believe that those who sang the song have never shed sincere tears in their lives." They will only perform and will only deceive the childish feelings of people like you. ”

"Really?" Gurf leaned over, trying to reach for his fingers to open Qi Lang's eyelids. He found that Qi Lang was finally amused, and he laughed too: "Actually, think about it, it's not easy for Zhu Lai and them to be big stars, they have to accompany smiling faces everywhere, even an old woman like Mrs. North has to socialize, it's disgusting to think about it." ”

Recalling the scene when he lifted the curtain, Qi Lang smiled even more happily, it was almost the biggest joke in Xia Qizhen in recent years, but he was more puzzled why people recognized that it was the old woman who was a nymphomaniac, and did not accuse Zhu Lai of misconduct: "Do you know Zhu Lai very well? How do you know that he didn't deliberately get Mrs. North drunk and took this opportunity to ......?"

Speaking of this, Qi Lang was also a little unable to justify himself. Of course, Zhu Lai would not be interested in Mrs. North, because as long as he blinked those melancholy eyes, even the most beautiful and noble girl in the world would probably throw herself into his arms without hesitation.

Of course, this was also Gulf's thoughts, and he said with jealousy: "He is probably the favorite of the legendary God, he is so handsome, and he has the most perfect voice, if he were a decade younger, our group would not have a chance at all." He's big and small. ”

Qi Lang smiled and comforted his brother and said, "You don't have to worry about this—of course, I don't mean Schukin—because you are a Spiral Warrior, and for that alone, you are a hundred times stronger than him." ”

"That's not our advantage at all. "Gulf is still beating himself up," I heard from Captain Dodim, who was once a very good warrior, and who had been hesitating to be the greatest warrior in the world, or the most brilliant singer. In the end, emotion prevailed over reason - and he chose the latter. ”

"Is that so?" Qi Lang was stunned. It turned out that Zhu Lai also had such a legendary experience, but since he once had a stunt, why did he flee to the side when the people needed him the most, and watched his homeland turn into ashes under the iron hoof?

He's a coward! It must be so, he's a despicable coward!

Another week passed, Henry X's birthday was approaching, and the Hoo Song Regiment was finally on their way. Qi Lang was happy about this, because he didn't have to listen to the soldiers talk about that coward every day. In addition, he has no liking for his beautiful singing voice, which he thinks is just a low-grade means of sensationalism.

However, when the team said goodbye, Qi Lang was designated by Dodim to be present, as if Zhu Lai deliberately asked for it, and he probably wanted to see his fellow countrymen again. So, Qi Lang saw Zhu Lai again, and at this time, the big star had already put on his performance costume, and the high-shouldered cloak covered with colorful feathers was shiny, and it looked like a wild turkey from a distance.

"You seem to have been avoiding me, dear sergeant, and you didn't come to our show once. Zhu Lai deliberately walked up to Qi Lang, squinted his eyes and smiled, "I almost forgot what your eyes look like." They're so beautiful, they're inherited from your mother, right?"

"We're all busy, and we don't have much time to listen to your Yiyi clichés. Qi Lang still didn't have the slightest politeness, and he didn't want to pay attention to the problem of his eyes at all.

"You're biased against me, I can see it. Zhu glanced at Dodim and smiled at Qi Lang again, "One day you will change your opinion, and when you see me again next time, I promise." ”
