Chapter 5: [Banquet Turmoil] 2
After the big man heard Mi Cong's words, he snorted heavily in his nasal voice, and his anger did not subside, but in front of Mi Cong, especially on an occasion like today, he didn't dare even if he wanted something to happen. First of all, what kind of weight does the Imperial Inspector in Van Mill City have in the Empire, he will never allow anyone to disturb his woman's adult drinking party. Moreover, Mi Cong, a big celebrity in the upper class of Van Mill City, is also a not weak figure, and he is just a captain of the Thirty-fifth Army Corps of the Empire stationed in Van Mill City.
Lin Tao didn't speak, just stared coldly at the big man opposite, knowing that he was staring at the other party's hair, so he shifted his gaze to look at Mi Cong not far away, and turned to a sunny smile, "Mi Cong Gongzi, I'm really embarrassed about today's incident, Lord Fei Luo, I'm not here, it's not good for me to apologize to him." Today's incident is really Lin someone's abrupt beauty, but it seems that this military friend is a little presumptuous. Haha, but it's understandable, after all, it's in front of his female companion. ”
Lin Tao was full of smiles, as if what had happened just now had not happened, and there was no anger or embarrassment on his face, as if what had happened just now had nothing to do with him, and he was just an outsider watching the fun. The words are even more high-sounding, taking retreat as advance, but it seems that this matter seems to be innocent, especially the slightest grievance in his eyes, coupled with his handsome appearance, it really makes people feel that he is the weak party after seeing it. Then human nature is like this, they will always sympathize with the weaker party, but in the dark, Lin Tao fished in troubled waters.
Mi Cong's eyes looked a little surprised, "I didn't expect this gentleman to have this kind of method, I underestimated him a little before." ”
After listening to Lin Tao's words, Dahan thought that this kid was relatively self-aware at first, but the more he listened to it, the more he felt that it was not a taste. The nature of the soldier is inevitably a little reckless, and he suddenly wanted to rush up and beat Lin Tao violently, but as soon as he made a move, he heard a break from the side.
"Captain Russell, I know that my Mi Cong has no official position, all of them are the prestige of my father, and he is soft-spoken, it doesn't matter if he doesn't sell my face, but don't you sell Lord Ferro's face?" In fact, this is not Mi Cong's original intention, it is really Lin Tao who is too cunning and occupies the highest point of morality, and his words have won everyone's sympathy, and the most important thing is that Russell's fiery temper is really a headache.
"Mi Cong Gongzi, today's matter is actually very easy to solve. I didn't want to disturb the atmosphere of the party, but this kid was really hateful, and he made such a reckless move, disturbing the interest of our group, but he simply apologized and wanted to slip away, and even refused to compensate for the cost of my female companion and her friend's dress, let alone our mental loss, you must know that these two dresses are indeed expensive. After Russell calmed down, he wasn't a fool, but he was more impulsive at times.
To everyone's surprise, just when everyone looked at Mi Cong, wanting to see how he answered. Mi Cong nodded, and then looked at Lin Tao, as if he was reading a joke.
Slightly understanding Mi Cong's meaning, Lin Tao sneered in his heart, "Do you want to see my jokes?" I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." Then he turned to Russell and said, "Captain Russell, today's incident is indeed my surprise to the beauty and a few of them, but I think who can not be negligent." As for the compensation for the dresses you mentioned, can I understand that they are extorting? Although these two dresses are not worth much, it is a matter of my personal face, and I can agree to you so easily. It's just a hint of wine stains, and if you take it back and clean it a little, you can't see it at all, but Captain Russell keeps chattering, and I really can't understand it. Lin Tao's face was not red and his heart was not beating when he said this, it was obvious that there were only three silver coins on his body, which was not enough to pay for the high production cost of two evening dresses, and he also beat a rake and said that the other party was blackmailing.
Mi Cong, as Lin Tao's recommender for this cocktail party, was the one who introduced Lin Tao to today's cocktail party, now Lin Tao is shameless, for the two clothes and people are deadlocked, Mi Cong is very faceless, and he can't bear it, he has already felt the eyes around him, and the facts tell him to stop this dispute immediately, otherwise he doesn't know what will happen.
Russell, his friends and female companions on the opposite side all changed their faces when they heard Lin Tao bite back and say that they were blackmailing, and it was as cold as the weather of the Wilsus Glacier in winter. The two beautiful ladies looked at each other angrily: "God, this person is still a nobleman, how can he be so calculating, and he has no gentlemanly demeanor at all." And Russell's fiery temper was more like igniting a fire on the tar, and suddenly burst out, "Stinky boy, don't think that you are a nobleman, you can despise everything, you have to do an understanding of today's matter, otherwise I don't mind using a gentleman's duel to solve it." ”
Lin Tao picked up the red blood-like wine in his hand and just wanted to take a sip, when he suddenly remembered the bitter taste, and suddenly put the wine glass in his hand on a table next to him casually, and turned his eyes to stare at the soldier in front of him with a smile, "Mr. Russell, say that I despise everything, don't you despise the laws of the empire in your actions." Article 173 of the Imperial Constitution: 'A citizen of the Vaslang Empire shall not insult or beat the nobles of the Empire in any place, and shall be fined 1,000 gold coins for violation, and shall be hanged if the circumstances are violated.'" In fact, not only did you have the suspicion of verbally abusing me, but you also didn't have a clean hand. No matter what I have done, the laws of the Empire will punish me, but you, a small captain, have no such right. Of course, you can solve it in a duel, whether I accept it or not. ”
Russell really felt that his lungs were about to be blown up, how could there be such an ugly nobleman in the world, just wanted to explode his foul mouth, but when he thought of the constitution of the empire, he suddenly lost his temper. You can't scold, you can't fight, you can't fight, let's duel, the other party has made it clear that he doesn't accept it. Russell finally realized the sorrow of a little person, although the other party is also a small person, but who told someone to cast a good baby. looked at Mi Cong helplessly, he didn't expect to get compensation today, he just hoped that this farce would be stopped immediately.
The eyes of the entire main hall had already gathered here, and even at a certain staircase on the second floor, Ferro and the noble woman standing beside him were all looking at the scene in front of them. In their opinion, no matter how disgraceful Lin Tao used to solve this farce, no matter how calculating, he always occupied the word "reason". At this time, many people present seemed to remember that the young man in front of him, who was personable but unfortunately not very orthodox, was Baron Lin Tao, who was talked about in the lower class society of Van Mill City.
"After such a long distance, I thought it was who, but I didn't expect that Baron Lin Tao who climbed the prostitute's bed and drugged the maid. At the other end of the main hall, a middle-aged man in noble clothes smiled at his friend.
"It turned out to be him, but I didn't expect that with his character and identity, I could participate in today's meeting, which is really disappointing. His friend shook his head, feeling humiliated about being in a big drinking party with such a person.
"Hehe, who's to say it's not. However, I just heard from Mr. Guise that he seems to be a guest brought by Mi Cong Gongzi. ”
"Oh, how could Mi Cong Gongzi invite such a person to a drinking party, although it is a good noble status, but it is just that this identity is in line. ”
"Maybe for some purpose, but that's not something we should know. ”
On the second floor of the northwest corner of the main hall, Fei Luo and the beautiful and overrated woman next to him stood side by side, but Fei Luo seemed to notice this discomfort, and moved back half a step slightly, showing that he was standing behind the woman, and then looked downstairs with peace of mind.
"Hehe, Uncle Fei Luo doesn't need to be so restrained, this is not the imperial capital after all. What's more, I'm here as a close friend of Jesia's best friend this time. The woman's bright eyes were as bright as the Oriental Morning Star, and her beautiful face looked so mysterious and noble under the candlelight.
Fei Luo smiled, his expression seemed to be much more relaxed, but the posture of his body did not change, and he still stood beside the woman like a subordinate, "It is an honor for the old minister to be considerate of the old minister, but as the imperial supervisor, whether it is in the imperial capital or in Van Mill City, no matter what the identity of the young lady is, the rules cannot be changed." ”
The noble woman shook her head a little helplessly, knowing that she couldn't say anything about Ferro, so she simply let him go, and didn't say more. turned to look at the incident on the first floor, and when he looked at Lin Tao's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, which made people feel evil, he couldn't control his body, he trembled inexplicably, and his pink fists tightened.
This situation frightened Fei Luo on the side, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, are you okay?"
Only then did the woman realize her gaffe, let go of her fist, and said lightly: "It's okay, it's just that I'm suddenly in a bad mood, I'll go back to the room first." As he spoke, he didn't look at Ferro beside him, and turned around and walked away.
Fei Luo glanced thoughtfully at the young man who was talking like a river, and then looked back at the delicate back, as if he understood something.
