There is no doubt that the man who stood next to the extended Cadillac and provoked Napoleon VII was Joseph Arman, who had just beaten Amideo and moved up two places.

Unlike Stern King, who dressed as a hippie, Joseph Arman still adhered to the basic etiquette of attending a banquet and wore a tuxedo, after all, he was the crown prince of the LVMH group, and it was disrespectful to his own business to wear it on such occasions.

But even if Joseph Arman wore a tuxedo custom-made for him by his own tailor, it was still better to stand at the foot of the horseshoe steps, dressed in red court clothes and wearing a blue ribbon.

However, this did not prevent Joseph Arman from facing off against Napoleon VII.

The atmosphere in the Atrium of the White Horse instantly warmed up, and Cheng Mo felt that it was really strange that Napoleon I was forced to abdicate two hundred years ago by the opposition representing the old aristocracy, and Napoleon I represented the emerging bourgeoisie. Two hundred years later, it was the new bourgeoisie that came to force Napoleon VII to fight, and Napoleon VII represented the old aristocracy.

History is a constant cycle.

Standing on the stage are always the people of those big families.

The eyes of everyone in the audience were focused on Napoleon VII like a flame, the blue royal ribbon diagonally across the chest dotted with gold buttons, and the pure gold N-shaped family crest on the golden belt around the waist shone dazzlingly.

The flash suddenly sounded, some people were filming Napoleon VII, some people were filming Joseph Arman, and even some photographers rushed to Joseph Arman's side with the camera, giving a close-up close-up of the prince of the group standing behind his back.

Stern King muttered like a clown to the cameramen and reporters, "Hey, are you mistaken? I'm the main character? I didn't see what John Lennon was wearing at Woodstock...... He also claims to be the most fashion-sensitive French journalist, and is simply a bunch of stupid donkeys who only love gossip....."

Cheng Mo glanced at Stern King, the hippie's dress really fit the positioning of the rice guys, and he couldn't help but feel in his heart that this was really an ingenious metaphor.

It's just a pity that no matter what Stern King says, no reporters and camera mechanisms pay attention to him, no one cares who this fat man in fancy bell bottoms is, everyone is watching Joseph Arman......

As well as the descendants of His Majesty the great Emperor of France - Napoleon VII.

Although the reporters and the media did not know what Joseph Arman meant, they knew that Joseph Arman's insulting remarks must have been due to a conflict with Napoleon VII.

LVMH's crown prince and the famous Napoleon VII clashed on the spot, which was big news that could make headlines.

The flashing lights went off, and the reporter held the radio to Napoleon VII's side, and if it weren't for the guards, he would have stuffed the microphone directly into Napoleon VII's mouth.

All in all, the scene was a little chaotic, and everyone in the audience was waiting for Napoleon VII's response, and even Xiao Cheng Mo, who was standing next to Napoleon VII, also experienced what it was like to be in the limelight.

Napoleon VII smiled at Joseph Arman in front of everyone, and he said lightly but politely: "Monsieur Arman, if you have come to a banquet and want to contribute to the very sick children of the world, I welcome you on behalf of the Rosicrucian. If you're here to make trouble, I'll have to ask you to leave. ”

Joseph saw that Napoleon VII did not accept the problem at all, and looked indifferent without being provoked by himself, and also smiled and said: "I just said that I want to do my part for charity, and I also said it...... I want to do my best, but I don't know if His Royal Highness is willing to fulfill me?"

Napoleon VII avoided answering Joseph's question, but only nodded and said, "Since Monsieur Arman is willing to give generously to charity, please wait." ”

"Wait? What are you waiting for? Do you want us to wait here for you to announce your abdication? Just like your unrelated ancestors, who shouted loudly to their ......subordinates more than two hundred years ago," Stern King was like an actor eager to steal the show, he jumped in front of the reporters and cameras, and began his performance without any manner, he stroked his chest and held his beer belly, and said in a dramatic tone like a stage actor, "My old Guards officers, junior officers, and soldiers!" France has fallen! I say goodbye to you......"

The audience was in an uproar at Stern King's clumsy performance, and this time the flash was finally aimed at Stern King's ridiculously fat man.

Another reporter who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement asked loudly: "Hey, this gentleman, can you introduce yourself to us?"

Stern King bowed slightly to the reporters and said happily, "Of course, I hope you will remember my name, Stern King." A peace-loving John Lennon fan, a Mi man who has detached himself from low-level tastes......"

Napoleon VII remained indifferent in the face of such an insult, like a javelin standing at the bottom of the jade steps, and the long spear and short cannon were fired at him with a rain of bullets, as if he had not heard what Stern King said, he continued to smile and said: "Maurice, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and arrange for Mr. Arman and Mr. King to wait in front of the red carpet, and move their car by the way, so as not to snub our distinguished guests." ”

None of the people present thought that Napoleon VII would swallow his anger and looked at him in astonishment. The reporters pressed the shutter more quickly, and the flash lights lit up the gloomy Fontainebleau Palace, igniting the already scorching air in the Atrium of the White Horse, and the atmosphere became even more eerie.

Cheng Mo glanced at Napoleon VII with his peripheral vision, he seemed to be nothing, but Cheng Mo could see Napoleon VII's suppressed anger from the tight corners of his lips and the muscles of his lower eyelids.....

And the fleeting sparks in the pupils.

Fortunately, Morris did not give Joseph and Stern King a chance to continue talking, and took a few guards to invite a few media away, and stood on either side of Joseph and Stern King, isolated them from the media, and said in a stiff tone: "Are you leaving, or are you going to attend the banquet?"

Joseph seemed to think that Napoleon VII was too cowardly, looked at Napoleon VII and showed a mocking smile, then shrugged his shoulders, and said disdainfully to the young man who had just come out of Cadillac: "Look, this is Napoleon VII, who is ranked fifth in the heavenly list, a coward who relies on score control." ”

Just as Morris sent someone to forcibly move the car, two more people came down from the elongated Cadillac like a prehistoric giant crocodile, one of them was a young man with dark brown curly hair, his eyes were large, his double eyelids were wide and deep, his pupils were also dark brown, his forehead was wide and his face was narrow, and he looked less like a white man than a Jew.

Napoleon VII didn't expect that there were still people in the car, and his face was a little gloomy.

Cheng Mo's expressions changed slightly when he saw the two people getting out of the car, but he immediately returned to normal, moving his gaze from the faces of the two young men who had just gotten out of the car to Stern King's faces.

Sure enough, as he observed, the curly-haired young man was more handsome than Stern King, but he looked very similar, and Cheng Mo guessed that he should be Stern King's younger brother, the legendary stargate supernova - Danielle King.

As for the other Oriental, Cheng Mo didn't take a few more looks.

Because Cheng Mo is very familiar with this person.

That's right, the handsome man who was casually admiring the Hakuba Atrium like a tourist was none other than Saionji Red Pill.

Cheng Mo was full of doubts, and he didn't know what these people were doing when they went to Napoleon VII's charity dinner.

Seeing that Joseph and Stern King did not continue to make trouble, Napoleon VII immediately patted Cheng Mo on the shoulder, then looked at Xie Minyun, and whispered apologetically: "I'm sorry to keep you two waiting." ”

Cheng Mo admired Napoleon VII's calm appearance under such circumstances, and whispered: "It's okay. There are always accidents in life. ”

Napoleon VII smiled reluctantly, made a gesture of please, and said, "Then please enter the ball hall first, Dava is waiting for you at the door, and she will take you and my friends to get acquainted." ”

Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun nodded at Napoleon VII and said "I'll see you later", and followed a waiter with oily hair behind him towards the top of the steps.

The steps were long, and the two of them walked very slowly in order to maintain their manners, Cheng Mo couldn't help but whisper in the ear of Xie Minyun, who was holding him: "It seems that Stern King and Joseph Arman are not good. ”

"Since Napoleon VII launched the Iris Declaration last year, it is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of Ou Yu and Xingmen, so it is normal for Ou Yu and Xingmen's people to come to provoke......" Xie Minyun responded in a low voice.

"But why did Napoleon VII stand up so unwisely? I don't think this is in keeping with his forbearance!"

Xie Minyun sighed and said, "Napoleon VII has to stand up..... At that time, you were not in Europa, and you didn't know the inside story, Ou Yu strictly enforced the registration procedures of the Chosen at the beginning of last year, and forced every Chosen One to leave and enter Europa must report, which is shaking the foundation of the nobles, you must know that a large number of stalkers in Europa are inextricably linked with the nobles, and even many of the nobles' retainers are stalkers, assuming that Ou Yu gradually strengthens the management of all the Chosen ones, then it is gradually depriving the nobles of their control over the stalkers. ”

"I see. Cheng Mo suddenly realized, and only then did he understand the deep-seated reason.

"But I see Napoleon VII making trouble, and I still don't dare to really fight with Xingmen and Yu Yu, last year's Iris Movement threatened to make the matter of the Chosen One public, just want to take more chips in my hand, so that I can negotiate terms with Xingmen and Ou Yu......" After a pause, Xie Minyun whispered, "It just seems that Xingmen and Ou Yu have no intention of negotiating terms with Napoleon VII." ”

Cheng Mo thought to himself: "It seems that Napoleon VII is not having a good time, no wonder he is so kind to me, not only is he willing to be used by me, but he can't wait to take the cross bee back." He glanced back at the straight back of Napoleon VII at the bottom of the steps, and whispered as if to himself: "I don't think he gave in so easily......"

"Two hundred years ago, Napoleon I did not want to abdicate either. Xie Minyun said meaningfully.

At this time, the two of them had already walked to the top of the stairs, the soldiers on both sides stood with guns expressionless, the waiter opened the golden door, and Dai Wa, who was wearing a crimson off-the-shoulder gauze dress, was standing at the door, the huge emerald pendant lined her neck, slender and fair-skinned, the princess crown shining with bright light on her head, and a blue ribbon on her chest, smiling nobly and elegantly at Xie Minyun.

"Sheyer, I'm glad you're here. Dai Wa reached out and hugged Xie Minyun.

Xie Minyun let go of the hand holding Cheng Mo, and elegantly handed the cashmere cashmere draped over his shoulders to the waiter, and then hugged Dai Wa in response to her hug and veneer salute, after the two separated, Xie Minyun looked at Dai Wa and said with a surprised face: "Why did you cut your hair." ”

Dawa shook her head and asked, "Isn't it pretty?"

"It's good-looking, it's clean and heroic, I'm just a little surprised. Xie Minyun said.

Dai Wa didn't say hello to Cheng Mo, she pulled Xie Minyun's hand directly, and dragged Xie Minyun towards the inside, inside the door is the corridor on the second floor, you can see the crystal chandelier in the ball hall of the Fontainebleau Palace, the entire wall and ceiling in the hall are whitewashed with yellow, red and green gold leaves, which is brilliant and magnificent, this gorgeous decoration has influenced the court style of Europa for hundreds of years, which can be described as the culmination of hundreds of years.

Dai Wa took Xie Minyun's hand and walked towards the side stairs, from the half-moon shaped marble staircase you can go down to the first floor, Dai Wa's tone is brisk: "Go, I'll take you to meet a few of my friends, I've mentioned you to them many times." ”

"Refer a friend, if it's a boy..... Not anymore. Xie Minyun said.

Dai Wa dragged Xie Minyun towards the stairs, and at the same time said angrily, "When did I introduce you to boys?"

Xie Minyun straightened her arm when she was pulled by Dai Wa, but she stopped in place and didn't move, and said in a low voice: "Wait a minute, I have to accompany Cheng Mo." ”

Dai Wa looked back at Xie Minyun and said, "Among the people I introduced to you are the Princess of Hanover, whom you respect very much, and my future sister-in-law, Athena, the only heir of the Onassis family, she is a bit similar to your personality, I believe you will like her." After speaking, Dai Wa smiled and said to Cheng Mo, "Hey, you are a big man, you won't be scared at the banquet, right?"

Cheng Mo said lightly: "It's okay, you can go! I'll take a look at it alone." ”

Xie Minyun shook his head, grabbed Dai Wa's hand and said, "The banquet is still long, I'll accompany Cheng Mo to go shopping first, it's the first time he's coming to your Fontainebleau Palace." ”

"It's not easy!" said Daeva beckoned to a waiter, "Gaston, take this gentleman around, and remember to come before the banquet begins." ”

"Dai Wa....." Xie Minyun let go of Dai Wa's hand and looked at Dai Wa calmly.

Xie Minyun's unangry and self-righteous appearance made Dai Wa only silent, and she said with some grievances: "Then let's ..... together But don't dislike the boring topics we women talk about......"

Xie Minyun didn't speak, just smiled and looked at Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo said, "You and Miss Daiwa should go over, I'll go around somewhere else, and I'll come back to you later." ”

"I'll be with you. Xie Minyun said.

Cheng Mo hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "I'm not a child anymore, there's no need to worry about me so much." ”

Xie Minyun hesitated, Dai Wa reached out and grabbed Xie Minyun and said, "Yes! Cheng Mo is not a child again, he should be allowed to socialize by himself like a man, cowards can't find friends.....

Xie Minyun is not a hypocritical person, and said softly: "Then I'll wait for you in the hall." ”

Cheng Mo let out a "hmm".

Xie Minyun and Dai Wa walked to the half-moon-shaped spiral staircase, and when they went down the stairs, Xie Minyun turned around and said, "Don't forget the time." ”

Cheng Mo nodded.

"Is it so inseparable?" said Dava, dissatisfied.

Cheng Mo watched Dai Wa and Xie Minyun walk downstairs, and the waiter on the side asked, "Mr. Cheng, do you need me to show you around?"

"Thanks, no need. Cheng Mo turned his head to the waiter and said, the waiter bowed slightly and then turned to leave, Cheng Mo stood by the railing and looked at the hall downstairs, dozens of brightly colored oil paintings and murals composed of walls, the luxury of art was exaggerated to the extreme, the pianist in a tuxedo was sitting in front of the piano, his flexible fingers galloped on the keys, the string musician standing next to him was playing a light waltz with the pianist, the men and women in gorgeous costumes were talking in a small circle, the men were almost wearing bright ribbons, and the women were wearing colorful crowns。 These two things are not noble things that can be worn casually, they are only qualified to be worn by the royal family to identify themselves.

Cheng Mo thought maliciously, throwing a skill into the hall, the Europa royal family would be at least half less, and how much experience points could he gain.

Although he was almost blinded by the extravagant sight of splendid jewels, Cheng Mo still saw Athena standing in the corner at a glance, she was just wearing a white gauze skirt and no jewelry, but she was even more brilliant than the dazzling royal families around, like a cold sword inserted in gold and silver jewelry.

Cheng Mo just glanced at it, didn't look closely, and was just about to leave for a casual stroll, but heard Stern King's voice from behind, "I really love Napoleon VII's expression just now, and the hidden flame in his eyes, the moment I shake hands with him, I feel like a matador wielding a Breca......"

"Then you must beware of being knocked to the ground by the dangerous bull of Napoleon VII, Monsieur Stern, for there is a famous proverb in France, Il faut se méfier de l'eau qui dort."

Hearing this French proverb, Cheng Mo was like a thorn in his back, and the slender and cold voice of the red pill of Xiyuan Temple was like a needle, Cheng Mo did not look back, still standing by the railing and watching Dai Wa and Xie Minyun greet people while walking in the direction of Athena.

Although Cheng Mo's eyes were looking at Xie Minyun, his ears were intently listening to the voice coming from behind. The old fox replied, "Oh! I think Napoleon VII will be the first to provoke Joseph, as if I was only teasing him with a piece of red silk, but Joseph was going to rob his woman." ”

"Mr. Stern, I think you have misunderstood something, Athena is not a woman of Napoleon VII yet, although Athena promised Napoleon VII to marry him as long as she can become a god..... But did Napoleon VII have a chance to become a god general?...... It's impossible, he can't even pass my level! Don't even think about becoming a god general!"

There is no doubt that this is Joseph's voice, Cheng Mo said in his heart: No wonder Athena said to Napoleon VII that day Wait until you complete the agreement, no wonder Joseph challenged Napoleon VII again and again, it turned out that the two of them were still rivals in love.

"Athena is indeed a rare stunner, but it's a pity that her temper is too hot, and this kind of girl who has lost her gentle qualities is only liked by you little boys! Old men like me prefer mature women who are tender and considerate...."Stern still smashed his tongue as he spoke, as if he was savoring something.

"Mr. Stern, if you dare to say so in Athena's presence, I am willing to contract you a year's worth of whiskey!" said Joseph.

"No, my old bones can't withstand the toss of the number one on the heavenly list, so it's better to keep a low profile. ”

At this time, the four of Stern had already walked down the stairs, and Cheng Mo could already see their backs with his peripheral vision, Cheng Mo felt that Joseph would definitely challenge Napoleon VII again, but I didn't know if Napoleon VII would continue to escape in front of Athena, Cheng Mo actually had some expectations.....
