Chapter 535: Abduction

Views:

When destruction is about to come, people will always react in various ways. Some people are drunk and dreaming of life and death, trying to numb themselves to get rid of the pain. Some people dare to face the bleak life. The greater the pressure, the higher their fighting spirit. Unfortunately, the latter only account for a small part of the crowd. Because of this, warrior is a title full of respect. If everyone has enough courage, then there is nothing surprising about warriors.

Edward VIII's life became extremely corrupt. He indulged in singing, dancing, and banquets every day. Moreover, his aging body miraculously regained its vitality. He knocked down ladies, ladies, and maids one after another, and even used violence to force him to do so. The other party gave in without caring about his own reputation. In fact, who would interfere with him at this time? The courtiers of Edward VIII followed suit and were even crazier than Edward VIII. Instead of trying to dissuade Edward, it would be better to try things that he usually wouldn't dare to do. It would be a life worth living. We must admit that crazy It can indeed bring a different kind of pleasure to people.

Regardless of whether Edward VIII is cowardly or stupid, after all, he is sitting on the throne, and he has enough conditions to make a judgment on the current situation. With the current strength of the Shansha Empire, it is no longer a confrontation, at most it is just a struggle. , he does not believe that he will have any future.

As the saying goes, the Diamond City, the capital of Shansha Empire, is full of the atmosphere of drunkenness and wealth. If Lin Sheng from another world came here, he would definitely send his quatrains to the drunken people: Beyond the mountains, there are green mountains and towers, and the West Lake sings and dances. When will you rest? The warm wind makes tourists drunk, and they call Hangzhou Bianzhou! Of course, several place names here need to be changed.

A grand banquet was going on in the left prime minister's mansion. Edward VIII was busy with his overthrow career and declined the left prime minister's invitation. Most of the other officials and nobles attended the banquet.

Several young people were talking in a low voice in the corner of the garden. During this period, the young people who served as middle and low-level generals in the new army formed by Edward VIII were particularly popular. Logically speaking, they were not qualified to attend the ceremony of the Left Prime Minister. A banquet was held, but when the building is about to collapse, who cares about qualifications? What's more, these young people are very promising. In the future, they will live well whether they win or lose against the Mao Empire. The hundreds of thousands of troops who surrendered before. All the senior generals were replaced, but the middle and low-level generals were promoted.

When the troops of the Mayo Empire come over, the officials and nobles will be lucky enough to survive. It is impossible to continue to have the current status and power. It is said that Her Royal Highness the Princess, who betrayed the empire, has begun a major reshuffle in the Moro Province. Efforts were made to promote civilians from all walks of life. Almost all the original nobles had their titles revoked and were even imprisoned. If he has a good relationship with the young people in the army, or becomes a relative, he can at least get some protection after they surrender to the Maho Empire. Everyone has their own calculations, under the influence of this special background. The lucky young people received unprecedented courtesy, even though they were just civilians now.

From time to time, one or several girls walked forward with graceful steps to talk to the young people, but the young people seemed very unenthusiastic. The girls left politely. Today, the Left Prime Minister invited dozens of young generals. Humans, of course, cannot hang themselves from a tree.

Two more people turned from the trail, this time a man and a woman. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was petite and pretty. The relationship between the two seems very cordial. Holding a wine glass in each hand, they whispered something as they walked.

The lovers were about to pass by those young people. The man suddenly staggered and the wine in his hand spilled out, hitting the woman in the face.

The makeup technique in the magical world is still very primitive. A glass of red wine is poured on it, and the pretty face turns into a ridiculous face on the spot. The woman screams, stomps her feet, raises her hand and slaps the man. Then he ran away angrily. Anyone would be offended by this kind of thing. Two hours of hard work in putting on makeup was ruined in one day. Not only was it a joke, but she also had to put on makeup again immediately. By the time she walked out again, the party might be over. What a disappointment. !

Several young people laughed lowly, and one of them looked around and whispered: "Little John, it seems that Her Highness the Princess's temper is not very good? Haha..."

"When the adults call, I will settle these accounts with her one by one!" Little John, the caller, touched his face and said in a muffled voice.

"So...the same thing has happened many times?"

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." Little John glanced around: "The target is on the stone chair in the east. The two girls are dressed very plainly. You will know it when you go there."

"Isn't the big guy here?" A young man whispered: "I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid of delaying your business."

"No, they have been lured away." Little John replied: "But you don't have much time. The left prime minister and that big guy will be back in a while."

"I understand." The young man waved his hand: "Everyone follows the plan."

Several young people immediately divided into two groups, one group walked towards the east, the other returned to the living room, and Little John walked on another road. What he was thinking was one thing, and the princess was angry was another. He must apologize.

Sure enough, there were two girls in ordinary clothes sitting on a stone chair in the east. Their looks were also very ordinary, so even though the place was very lively, with handsome guys walking back and forth from time to time, no one paid attention to them, and no one came forward. get in a word.

The two young men looked at each other and walked over slowly. One of them smiled and said, "Miss, can you sit down here?"

Maybe they had never seen the world, maybe they had been bored for a long time, but suddenly someone took the initiative to talk to them, which made them feel flattered. The two girls seemed timid. They didn't say yes or no, but just turned to the side. Give way.

The young man who sat down first took a deep breath of the air and said with a smile: "It smells so good!"

Seeing each other so intoxicated, the two girls couldn't help but look around suspiciously. It was already early summer, and the spring flowers in the garden had faded. Where was the fragrance

"I mean your smell."

The two girls' faces suddenly turned red, and their movements were a little nervous and stiff, giving people a feeling of being at a loss.

"The entire living room and most of the garden are filled with the smell of ladies' powder. I barely tolerated it for a long time, and I'm about to collapse! These two ladies are really my saviors. When I met you, my nose Feeling much more comfortable.”

The two girls' faces turned redder, but they still didn't speak.

The young man who had been chatting with each other glanced at him: "Are these two ladies magicians?"

"No, we can't practice magic." One of the girls replied: "Are you a swordsman?"

Thank God, I finally spoke! The young man screamed in his heart, and then he nodded, showing a surprised look: "How do you know?"

The girl looked a little proud and pointed with her little finger: "Hehe..."

The young man looked down and saw a long sword hanging from his waist. He suddenly realized and patted his forehead: "It turns out it was my old buddy who betrayed me."

"Here you are, old man! How old are you?"

"I'm twenty-four, what about you?" The young man paused: "I'm sorry, I'm rude, I shouldn't ask you this."

"It's nothing, I'm sixteen." The girl didn't care.

The most difficult thing for a conversation between strangers is to start it, not to mention that the young man had some skills with his words and flattery, which made the two girls smile happily. They were no longer as nervous as before, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

The other young man never spoke. When he glanced elsewhere, he always showed a helpless look. To him, the two girls were idiots, his companion also became an idiot, and the topic of conversation was even more... is meaningless. He doesn't understand that when chatting with girls, he has to find meaningless and easy topics. He always talks about life and philosophy, which can only make people stay away from him, or even classify him as mentally ill or abnormal.

No matter how hard it is, there will always be a time when it comes to an end. Suddenly, there is a violent fluctuation of magic power in the direction of the front building, and then fire shoots into the sky.

The guests attending the banquet became excited at that time, and some women even screamed. Around the mansion, one figure after another floated into the air, and surrounded them in the direction of the front building. There were no guards visible at the reception, but when a fire broke out, a large number of guards emerged from nowhere and rushed towards the front building. If it is a natural fire, there is no need to be so nervous. The problem is that everyone has sensed the violent fluctuations in magic power!

"Come on, let's go take a look!" The young man who had been silent until now pulled out his long sword.

"Wait!" Another young man said with a solemn face: "Don't you know? An Fei has sneaked into the Diamond City quietly!"

"What do you mean?"

"I think An Fei wants to deliberately bring people together! Nowadays, a place with fewer people is safer. Let's find a place to hide first and wait until the Left Prime Minister and the Kremlin come back." The young man waved his hand: "follow me."

The two girls had turned pale with fright. If another young man had said this, they might have seriously thought about whether it was reasonable or not, but the soldier in front of him was kind, kind, enthusiastic and funny, just like the big brother next door. Likewise, they had no reason not to believe it, not to mention that they had no idea of their own now, so they followed the young man obediently and went deeper into the garden.
