Vol 2 Chapter 45: Noble castle

Broad and clear roads, gorgeous manors, and cavalry troops passing by from time to time. This is the Dongcheng District of Laiyan City, where most of the noble houses are gathered.
I drove a little deep into the city, and in a large area of ​​the manor, a majestic building appeared. Under the shadow of the night, it looks like a rampant prehistoric beast, arrogant to all directions. The thick black stone wall, the grand dark gold gate, and an iron anchor-shaped sign hung above the gate. This is the Allston family castle.
I looked at the towering door wall, Tang En sighed, could not help rubbing his hands. It's really impressive ... well, the defense is also strict.
The latter evaluation was issued for the cold bow and crossbow on the wall, and an unknown metal iron pipe. Fortunately, he did not need to penetrate the wall this time, and Tang En took out a gold invitation to hand it to A steward touched the man in front of the door.
管 The steward took the invitation and opened it, then bowed slightly: "Hi Ambrose Pete, welcome to you. Please!"
Tang En nodded, and the carriage drove through the gate into the castle.
Alas ... Tang En raised his eyebrows, his eyes suddenly opened up. The square, the fountain, the statue ... everything seemed just right and beautiful.
The carriage stopped on one side of the square, and Tang En walked towards the main hall.
Alas, how did the people in front look a little familiar?
"Josiah?"
The woman in front of the mottled pleated dress turned back, her golden hair, and her elegant and feminine face. It was Johia that Tang En hadn't seen in a long time.
"Hi, Becky!"
At this time, Tang En trot behind a woman in a fiery red dress and hugged Josiah.
Tangen's lips are light, and the eight wives are here ...
"It's you! I couldn't confirm it just now, I haven't seen you for a long time." Becky said cheerfully holding Josiah's arm.
"Well, yeah, something happened recently, so ..."
"Is that because of Vinson ... Uh, sorry, I shouldn't say that." Becky spit out her tongue.
文 "Vinson?" Josiah shook his head unconsciously. "Vinson is sad ... forget it, let's talk about it tonight."
"Okay, okay. You don't know how boring I have been recently, no one plays with me ... Wow, the skirt is so beautiful and fluffy, hey, your figure is so good, I dare not wear it ..."
"There is a silver ring inside it, it's heavy ..."
Beggie took Josiah's hand, and as they walked inward, they whispered and met each other, laughing from time to time.
Vincent? Tang En pouted and then entered the hall.
The melodious violin, crisp clinking, and a little noisy conversation ... Tang En just entered the hall, feeling only a warm body, all kinds of sounds came to his face.
Such gatherings are common among nobles, and the difference is only a matter of size. Similar to the last time Tang En attended Vinson Manor, it was a small theme music party. Of course tonight is undoubtedly a large banquet. This kind of party is a test of the comprehensive ability of the organizer. So to some extent, this is also a way of showing off strength.
Tang En picked up a glass of wine and slowly took the crowd, browsing the hall without any trace.
From time to time, it seems like being attracted to a conversation, approaching and listening.
From time to time, it seems like meeting an acquaintance, raising a toast as a gesture ... In this case, naturally, no one will refuse, and the indicated person often smiles and raises a drink. Then after Tang En walked by, he searched wildly in his head. Who was that person just now? At which party did you meet?
The elderly talk about current affairs, and the young people talk about Fengyue. Businessmen talk about deal cooperation, women talk about gossip ... maybe so!
Tang En also saw Josiah and Becky. At this time, Josiah's surroundings gathered a lot of aristocratic youths. These youths were either elegant or calm, or affectionate or trying to escape ... It was like a peacock opening the screen. , In a scramble to show their beautiful feathers.
It is certainly not surprising that there is such a phenomenon. It is said that the wisdom of a woman is inversely proportional to her appearance, but this sentence is obviously not suitable for Josiah. Integrity and youthful beauty, clean looks, but also a noble and mysterious magician, Josiah has the capital to make such obsession crazy.
文 When Vinson pursued Josiah fiercely, these people felt that they had little hope. But now that Vinson has been assassinated, Josiah has become the flower of the owner, and naturally everyone wants to be the flower guardian.
Compared to Josiah surrounded by the crowd, Becky looked much more depressed. She was surrounded by her friends and couldn't get away, and because of some family reasons, no one was willing to approach her now. At this time, he had to spit on his cheeks and sip drunk ...
After a short while, Tang En walked around the hall with all the entrances in mind. At the same time, he also found that one thing is the most talked about tonight ...
"Good evening, Lord Paul."
"Good evening, Lord Locke."
咦 "Oh, why haven't you seen Victor recently?"
"You still don't know? Something happened in his family ..."
"Uh, wouldn't you say you were being followed by the aristocratic alliance?"
"Accurately, the aristocratic alliance led by the Earl Roberts's family is eyeing it. His long-established business has almost been destroyed ..."
"Oh, poor Victor ... is there no way to stop this alliance?"
难 "It's difficult, if only the five Viscounts, the problem would be solved. But now the Robert family is leading, alas, the strength is terrible ..."
"Let them grow like this?"
"That's not true, what do you think the party is tonight? I heard that several Viscount patriarchs approached Count Allston and wanted him to lead an alliance against the aristocratic alliance."
呼 "Whew ... this is all right, with the presence of the Auston family, presumably will be able to suppress the aristocratic alliance."
谁 "Who knows, this aristocratic alliance hasn't been moving lately ... I'm not at ease, I always feel what they are going to do."
"Rock, you think too much, maybe they heard the news that the Auston family was about to come out and die?"
"Oh, I hope so ..."
Similar conversations continued to spread throughout the lobby, and everyone was clearly afraid of this aristocratic alliance. Of course, this has nothing to do with Tang En. He just listened at will. Soon, he found an acquaintance when strolling around.
On the right side of the hall, there is a piece of nanmu long table on which various precious wines and exotic fruits are stacked, and the guests can take it at will.
At this moment, a well-dressed and elegant young man was standing at the table, and when he saw his hands resting on the table, he felt that he was thinking about which food to choose.
For a moment, he banged his fingers, leaned down, stretched out his right hand and took a plate of fruit platter.
Suddenly, he only felt that his left hand was being grasped vigorously, and a deep voice sounded in his ear: "Thief."
The young man's body trembled slightly, his left hand slipped ~ EbookFREE.me ~ A cuff flashed across the blade.
The man who grabbed his left hand seemed to know what he was about to do. A downward pressure pushed the cuff of his cuff back, and the young man felt a pain in his left wrist, could not help but open his palm, and stood behind him. People back.
As soon as the young youth Huo Ran turned around, he saw a very gloomy middle-aged man looking at the silver spoon in his hands with enthusiasm, and his hawk nose was very dazzling.
"Well, don't let go of a spoon, you really have a thief like Jack."
"That's sterling silver ... okay, are you ... Arthur?" Jack hesitated.
"Crap, who am I not?" Tang En rolled his eyes.
Jack's eyes kept sweeping across his face: "How are we divided?"
"Five-five!" Tang En answered very decisively.
"Get off ... oh god, it's really you! How did you do that?"
秘密 "Secret ... don't touch it, don't get my nose off." Tang En patted Jack's paw, which he tried to touch.
"It's unbelievable! This hand camouflage is absolutely amazing!" Jack was amazed by the camouflage on Tang En's face. In fact, he also had a layer of paint on his face and changed his hairstyle. However, in the eyes of professional people, flaws can still be seen. For example, Tang En recognized him just now.
"OK, serious, when do you start?"
Jake obviously had a plan long ago, and said without hesitation: "When Count Oston comes out! It is a little closer to the study, and we will go to the study first. If not, go to the storeroom."
好 "Okay, then I will observe the terrain again."
"and many more!"
"Ok?"
"Return the spoon first!"
"..."
