Chapter 48: Attack at dinner (10,000 words)
Although the dusk of this day is not the most lively dusk in the history of the emperor, it can still account for one of them.
On this long street located in the Duke's mansion in the imperial capital, various luxurious carriages have already blocked the entire street, surrounding the long street, but this is not the point.
The point is that the luxurious carriages that are blocking the long street have successfully attracted the attention of many people, and they have been blocking this long street for a long time and refused to leave.
Logically speaking, it is not a rare thing for a certain noble to host a banquet to entertain other nobles, and it does not attract so many people to watch. However, the organizer of this banquet is Duke of Snow Demon Wolf, which has to attract attention.
In a month, because various versions of autobiography were released one after another, the image of the Snow Demon Wolf Duke has penetrated into people's hearts. In fact, the subsequent "live broadcast" series made this noble Duke completely integrate into people's lives.
In the past, the nobles were all superior, and the common people could not understand what kind of life the nobles actually had.
The release of the "live broadcast" of the Snow Demon Wolf Duke undoubtedly broke this past situation, allowing more civilians to understand the lives of the nobles, and then made them feel that the Snow Demon Wolf Duke has always been by their side. Moreover, because Byron has been constantly beautifying Lin Feng's image, Lin Feng has become great and noble in people's hearts, especially in the Arctic Ice Field. Lin Feng's righteous and heroic remark, which has no more righteous than me, has infected every young man in the new empire...
Therefore, through yesterday's "live broadcast", I learned that the Duke of Snow Demon Wolf will hold a banquet at the Duke's mansion to entertain the nobles this evening. Many people suddenly came to hear the sound, wanting to witness the shocking scenes of the nobles' collective movements, and more people want to see with their own eyes what the Duke of Snow Demon Wolf who lives in their lives every day is.
It is worth mentioning that due to the extremely popular "autobiography" and "live broadcast" industries in the "King of Copyright", the income obtained is also considerable. Sometimes, as the King of Copyright Ceo, Byron, was too busy to worry about other industrial issues. Later, Lin Feng simply wrote a big pen and divided the industry separately, reducing a lot of burden for Byron.
Moreover, Lin Feng also gave this industrial organization an extremely cool name - "News Broadcast".
The core slogan of the organization is: absolutely guarantee that there will be no finale, let our News Broadcast develop with the father's family...
It is precisely because of this approach of real-time reporting that more people have learned about the life of the Snow Demon Wolf Duke that today is such a lively scene.
For this reason, the patrol troops in the imperial capital had drawn half of their personnel to maintain the order of this street, and the remaining 300 guards in the Duke's Mansion also joined in accordingly, but most of them were on guard in the corners of the mansion, hiding in the dark, and nervously observing whether there were any abnormal movements around them.
As the chief guard, Marley also hid in the dark. After all, they were not suitable for appearing in a swagger in such occasions. If the entire duke's mansion and even the streets were filled with lively and harmonious scenes on the surface, the darkness was actually full of tension.
At this time, under the sunset reflected by the sunset, Lin Feng, who is the part-time protagonist of the banquet organizer, has already stood in front of the hall to greet the guests.
At the age of seventeen, he looked extremely majestic because of the fact that he absorbed current all year round, and did not look a little thin like most nobles. Moreover, because he was a human being for two lives, he had no simplicity in his eyes as his peers. His eyes were deep, and after his childishness faded from his face, he had a slightly climatic majesty. With his handsome and slightly smiling face, combined with this standard aristocratic clothing, his overall temperament looked unique...
However, when wearing this standard aristocratic costume, Lin Feng wasted a lot of time.
This outfit was naturally tailored a few days ago. When Lin Feng finished his practice at noon today, he began to wear this luxurious and cumbersome set of clothes under the busyness of more than a dozen maids. Although Lin Feng expressed some disgust with this outfit of a male animal that looked like a estrus, he had to wear it like this in such a formal occasion.
It took nearly an hour to tidy up the round lace collar on the collar. The two maids from the palace were almost busy feeling pain in their butts, but it still made Lin Feng feel such a tight collar that he couldn't breathe.
The fancy lace on the clothes and the exaggerated belt that looked like a small vest made Lin Feng feel like a delicate product to be sold.
This feeling is very unpleasant.
Especially when the maid carefully tidied up his hair and was about to apply powder on his face, Lin Feng, who had been sitting for a whole afternoon, immediately refused the maid's request!
What a joke, Lin Feng can't stand this kind of thing used by women!!
I have to say that what a standard aristocrat most yearns for is that pale and slightly sickly face, and Lin Feng's skin color is too unreasonable. Although in the past, when he was training at Paul Academy, he often stayed alone in the house to absorb the electric eels' electric skin color, making his skin color look a little whiter than many students, but he is also a soldier after all, and he has been exposed to the sun a lot when training martial arts. Therefore, Lin Feng's skin color is that standard wheat color.
Such a face is obviously unqualified according to the standards of the nobles.
But Lin Feng was too lazy to pay attention to so much. If he said he was not qualified, then his body shape was really unqualified!!
However, he was dressed neatly enough to make people shine!
Although this banquet was held by the Duke of Snow Demon Wolf to express his gratitude to the various nobles for their help, the nobles attending the banquet obviously had other purposes.
Of course, the purpose of the nobles is to make further friends with Lin Feng on the basis of pleasing Lin Feng.
After all, although Lin Feng has no foundation, the flag-making title of the Snow Demon Wolf Duke is enough for the nobles to pay attention to.
As for the means of making friends... there is no better way than marriage!!
Through Lin Feng's autobiography, everyone knows that the newly-canned Duke of Snow Demon Wolf is extremely young, and he is less than seventeen years old. However, at the age of seventeen, many other nobles are probably already a father. Although everyone knows the love story between Duke of Snow Demon Wolf and Duke Anne, and although they also understand that the position of the wife must be Duke Anne, this time, many nobles brought their daughters to the banquet...
These people naturally did not dare to compete with Duke Anne for the position of his wife. Even if they wanted to fight, they were powerless. Everyone knew that Anne not only had the title of honorary duke, but most importantly, she was the daughter of Duke Wandailan.
The mentality of these nobles is just that Lin Feng can fall in love with his daughter. Even if they fight for the position of a concubine, they will be satisfied. Therefore... the biggest highlight of this banquet is not the major nobles, nor the main owner of Lin Feng, but the aristocratic girls with seductive appearance and elegant figure in the hall.
Like that world, girls of this age usually have a youthful heart, and at this age, their ability to distinguish facts is weaker. Most of them are poisoned by Lin Feng's autobiography "pink version". While moved by Lin Feng and Annie's love story, they have long imagined Annie in the pink version as herself.
It can be said that they have spent a lot of effort on this "meeting" with Lin Feng.
Whether in terms of exquisite outfits or their pink faces, they were obviously dressed up carefully. Before following his father to walk into the hall, he saw the handsome Lin Feng just like the illustrations on the pink version. Although he tried his best to calm his expression, it was still difficult to hide the excitement in his heart.
Especially when they passed by Lin Feng, the imagination in their hearts made them afraid to look at Lin Feng's gaze. After entering the hall, they became upset about missing a good opportunity.
And at this moment, the hall looked like a spring.
But the most important thing is that although the girls are still with their fathers, their eyes have already been on Lin Feng.
The affectionate look made Lin Feng, who was inadvertently glance at the hall, exclaimed that he couldn't stand it.
It must be mentioned that since he received the news that Marquis Carson also brought people to the banquet in advance, Robert, who was the party of the Dark Holy See, just took Anne to symbolically walk away, and asked Lin Feng to leave in advance. Lin Feng was not surprised why Robert received this news in advance. He also knew that his future father-in-law had a special identity, so he did not force him.
However, before Anne followed Robert, she did not forget to glar at Lin Feng fiercely, and lay in Lin Feng's ear and whispered to him not to seduce other girls. After receiving the promise of Lin Feng's wry smile, she left Robert with confidence. Only Lin Feng was left alone, she was still smiling bitterly: It was clearly those girls who seduced him, okay...
However, in this situation, Lin Feng did not put this expression on his face for a long time. When he saw Robert and his daughter away, his faint smile returned to his face. He stood in front of the door like a doorman welcoming guests, continuing to welcome the nobles who were rushing to come one after another.
As time passed, almost all the nobles came on time with their daughters. After standing for so long, Lin Feng, who had the strength of a great warrior, did not feel sore legs, but he had already sighed in his heart. He even regretted putting the venue of the banquet in his Duke's Mansion.
At this moment, another nobleman who looked like a father and daughter walked towards the hall. Lin Feng's face had an iconic smile on his face and was about to greet him in person again, but at this time he heard Bond in the corner whisper behind him: "Master, this is Baron Olica and his daughter you mentioned to me a month ago."
Lin Feng, who had no idea at first, felt a sudden change in his heart when he heard this, and a stronger smile appeared on his face. He hurriedly went forward and greeted Baron Olica on his own initiative.
Lucy, who was next to Baron Olica, was carefully dressed up tonight and wore a bright white evening dress. In the darkness that was about to come, she looked solemn and fresh. However, unlike other noble girls, Lucy, who had seen Lin Feng with his own eyes and said a few words to Lin Feng, is obviously much bolder than other girls. Although she also smiles with a reserved smile like other noble girls, her eyes were staring at Lin Feng without any concealing her admiration.
After Lin Feng made a few polite words with Baron Olica, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and said actively: "Baron Olica, I believe you should have heard from your daughter. I would like to express my sincere thanks to you for the help your daughter gave me that day."
Baron Olica seemed a little embarrassed when he heard this. He did hear Lucy say that. However, as an adult and a nobleman, he certainly would not be as simple as Lucy. After hearing Lucy say something like the Duke of Snow Demon Wolf personally thanked him, he immediately scolded Lucy.
He deeply understood that the Duke of Snow Demon Wolf was not saying anything grateful. He was obviously warning his daughter not to talk about his family affairs and his slaughter. If it was a little serious, it would be better if the Duke of Snow Demon Wolf was not heard by the parties involved. He could hear it completely in his ears, and for him, it was simply a provocation!
So, Baron Olica scolded Lucy hard and locked her up for a week. As for this banquet, Baron Olica did not intend to show up again for this matter, fearing that the Duke of Snow Demon Wolf would think of Lucy's doing something when he saw it.
But after careful thinking, he decided to bring his daughter to apologize to the Snow Demon Wolf Duke in person. However, before he had time to mention this matter, Lin Feng took the initiative to mention it.
When Lucy heard Lin Feng's words, her face became a little ugly. She could not understand so deeply before. At her age, she only considered superficial things. But after being taught by her father, she finally came back to her senses. She originally stared at Lin Feng straight at her, although she couldn't hide her admiration, but she wanted to find a suitable opportunity to apologize to Lin Feng, but she just hadn't found an opportunity.
When Lin Feng saw the expressions of the father and daughter, he immediately knew that the two of them misunderstood their meaning. Of course, although he did not like others to discuss his own private affairs, he did not accumulate a deep foundation for generations like other nobles. The father's family, which was just established a month ago, did not have much important and confidential matters, so Lin Feng naturally did not have that much defense. He did feel grateful for the words Lucy said at that time.
After all, his family has just been established, so it would be strange if there are no loopholes. As the Duke of the Snow Demon Wolf, he is afraid that even if outsiders see it, they will not dare to tell him in person.
Seeing the awkward expressions on the father and daughter's faces, Lin Feng immediately smiled and said lightly: "Dear Baron Olica, I think you misunderstood what I mean. I am thanking you sincerely. Look, people in the mainland now know my life activities, and I expose them to people without any secret every day."
When Baron Olica's face suddenly eased a lot when he heard Lin Feng say this. However, he would not naively believe Lin Feng's second half of the sentence. Many civilians cannot see it, which does not mean that he is a nobleman like him cannot see it. News broadcast belongs to Lin Feng's industry. How to write the live broadcast series depends entirely on Lin Feng's meaning, but he also understood that the reason why Lin Feng said this second half of the sentence was to express his intention of questioning and warning himself.
So, Baron Olica finally smiled on his face: "The great duke is so righteous. It is the honor of Lucy and I to help the great duke."
After saying this, he paused for a moment and knew that it was not suitable for a long talk. He said directly: "I won't disturb the Grand Duke for the time being. Lucy and I will go in first. When the banquet is over, I look forward to having a long chat with the Grand Duke again."
Lin Feng also knew that there was no time to have a long talk, so he invited Baron Olica and his daughter into it. However, although the nobles in the hall did not hear the conversation between the two sides, they all saw this scene and couldn't help but mutter: Is Baron Olica an old acquaintance of Duke of Snow Demon Wolf? Why did it take so long to talk? You know, Duke of Snow Demon Wolf just nodded to him!
In an instant, when Olika and his daughter entered the court, everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on the father and daughter. Although the Baron Olika had a low title, he also had qualified aristocratic cultivation, and immediately gave the nobles a polite smile.
When Lucy heard that Lin Feng did not blame her, she smiled again. A little girl like her sometimes needs only a simple encouragement and has sufficient motivation. In many cases, as long as she has a simple reason, she can continue to pursue her goals unswervingly.
Lin Feng's gratitude words undoubtedly fully inspired Lucy's simple heart, and the eyes that the nobles cast seemed to her envious look, which once again greatly satisfied her vanity.
Lin Feng saw all this in his eyes, and the smile on his face did not change at all. He looked up at the sky, but a sense of confusion appeared in his heart: It's almost time for the banquet, why has Marquis Carson not arrived yet?
Originally, Lin Feng had never thought that the Marquis would attend the feast he held. In his opinion, the Marquis's temptation was obvious. Moreover, the gifts sent by the housekeeper Buffy in the early stage were simply a naked provocation, which was clearly his own enemy. How could he come to participate in this banquet to please him?
However, Robert received the news that the Marquis came back, so there would be no mistake!
When Lin Feng heard the marquis coming from his future father-in-law, he even considered what attitude he would use to face the marquis. But now it was getting darker and it was time for the banquet to start. However, he had not yet noticed that the marquis had arrived, which made him wonder.
Could it be... the Marquis changed his mind temporarily?
Thinking of this, Lin Feng asked Bond in the corner, "Bond, it should be that only Marquis Carson is left, right?"
Every time Bond gave back an invitation letter to the nobles, he also recorded every time a noble came to this banquet. Whenever a nobleman came, he immediately looked through the records and then praised: "Master, you have such a good memory! It is true that there is only Marquis Carson left!"
Lin Feng didn't care when he heard Bond's praise. He didn't have a good memory at all, but deliberately remembered the Marquis. After thinking for a moment, he ordered: "Okay, the banquet is about to begin. You go down and prepare first. I'll do it here. Everything will follow the originally scheduled time."
After Bond went down, Lin Feng stood alone in front of the hall and continued to wait. From time to time, the sounds of the nobles chatting and laughing, as well as the scent of rouge on the girls, but these smells and sounds could not be integrated into Lin Feng's heart.
Because he is now considering what the Marquis's real attitude is.
It is true that no matter what angle the marquis is, the marquis is destined to be his enemy, but for the marquis, it may not be like this at all. After all, the marquis does not know his true identity, and he may not even dare to confirm that he is the Lin Feng five years ago. Moreover, although he was clearly informed by Dandy, he has not completely opposed the marquis after all.
In this way, the Marquis gave him the two gifts for the first time should not be considered provocation, but only a test. Since he has not confirmed his identity, he certainly cannot reveal it on his own initiative. As long as he can hide for a moment, it will be more beneficial to his development.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng still confirmed that he should treat the Marquis with a pretended silly attitude.
However, looking at the late sky, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart. Could it be that the Marquis had found out his identity? So he decided not to come temporarily? If he really confirmed his identity, it seemed that he would have to speed up his development!
Taking this into consideration, Lin Feng's heart suddenly became serious. With the overall strength of the Marquis, he was no match for him at all. Even if he would not take the initiative to attack him now and was just aware of his defense, it would be of no benefit to him!
If he really doesn't come to the banquet, it's very likely that he has noticed his identity. Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately wanted to find Marley and ask him to find someone to check it out so that he can take some precautions in advance.
But at this moment, Robert's voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Lin Feng, Carson is about to arrive, but it seems that someone has bad intentions towards him, and he has not taken any precautions. It seems that he wants to bring this trouble to you. Be careful, I can't help you now."
Hearing this sentence, Lin Feng's heart moved and immediately gave up the idea of calling Marley. The worry in his heart had completely disappeared, but at the same time another worry arose. Someone had bad intentions towards the Marquis? The Marquis wanted to bring this trouble to himself? Or... Does the Marquis want to kill someone with a knife?
Before he could think too much, Robert's voice sounded in his mind again, but this time his tone was a little hasty: "He is approaching, I have to leave nearby... Be careful, there is a powerful sanctuary by his side."
After the words came, Lin Feng was shocked. There was a powerful Holy Domain beside the Marquis? When did another powerful Holy Domain appear on the continent? Doesn’t even Master Olin know?
At this moment, with Robert's words "The Strongest Man in the Holy Land", Lin Feng suddenly thought of more questions in his head, but he could not bear to think too much, and there was a burst of rapid sound of horse hooves coming from far and near outside.
This rapid sound of horse hooves indicates that there are many horses. When he thinks of Robert's words, Lin Feng couldn't help but sneer in his heart: It seems that the Marquis did intentionally. He came here with such a big fanfare. It seems that he really wanted to lead the trouble to him and give him a warning... Moreover, seeing that there is a powerful man in the Holy Land around him, it seems that this trouble may not be easy to deal with!
Just as Lin Feng thought, at this moment, outside the Duke's Mansion, the chaotic crowd had already been driven away by the patrol troops of the imperial capital, and a luxurious carriage with eight horses slowly found an empty space and stopped.
To be continued...
