Lord Highlander

   Chapter 122 121. Prom

  The camp of the Expeditionary Army was full of cheerful organ sounds at night, and a bonfire was lit in front of the empty field at the gate of the camp. Numerous torches surrounded the square, making the night brightly lit. The only drawback was that the temperature on site was too hot.

This is a dance planned and organized by the war room of the expeditionary army. The atmosphere of the scene is very warm, but these young nobles did not consider lighting so many torches on such a summer night, making the dance scene like a barbecue meeting. The heat made the preparators sweat profusely early, but in the end they removed all the torches around them and turned the entire hillside outside the camp into a dance floor, which made the feeling much better.

He Boqiang never thought that there are so many nobles in the camp of the expeditionary army. In addition to the positions above the captains of the regiments held by nobles, there are also a large number of young nobles in the war room, as well as Laurent Goss. Come to the gilded minor nobles on the field of battle.

  Everyone wore aristocratic dresses to attend the ball at the same time, which opened He Boqiang's eyes.

  It's a pity that the female swordsman tour group.

…Oh no!

This time, the training group sent by the Swordsman Academy only consisted of forty or so female swordsmen. It was obvious that the male to female ratio at the ball was out of balance. Naturally, at the ball, the forty or so female swordsmen were eagerly sought after by the young nobles. Hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at the female swordsmen dancing to the music on the dance floor, probably thinking hard about what reason they should find to invite them to the next dance after the music ended.

These female swordsmen seem to be carrying gorgeous court-style evening gowns and long skirts. The girdle of that kind of evening gown is very strong. In He Boqiang's view, this kind of girdle can even forcefully squeeze out a vast grass field. The **** are stretched out, and the thick waist of the bucket is strangled into a willow waist. However, under this kind of attire, the women dare not speak loudly, let alone take a deep breath, as if they would faint due to suffocation at any time.

The men who participated in the ball all wore rapiers or knight long swords around their waists, which was very inconvenient when dancing, but since this is the forefront camp of the expeditionary army, wearing weapons at the ball is also an item in the barracks. Unwritten rule.

He Boqiang and Surdak stood beside the bonfire, took out a skinning knife and quickly cut off a large piece of roasted lamb leg on the grill, and then held a wooden tray, and took some smoked beef from the bacon area They filled two large trays full of biscuits and walked to the outermost part of the dance contentedly. The two of them found two wooden piers and sat on the wooden piers while enjoying the barbecue while watching the lively dance scene.

  Suldak held a plate full of barbecue meat, picked it up with a skinning knife, and put it into his mouth. The corners of his mouth were oily, his eyes were full of longing, and he said to He Boqiang:

   "Little Duck, after I officially become a knight, there may be a noble lord who is willing to marry his daughter to me. If he doesn't have a son to inherit his title, then I will be eligible to become a noble..."

  He Boqiang heard Suldak talk about his wife countless times, and heard him talk about them hiding in the haystacks and counting the stars, sitting on the ridge of the wheat field...

  At this time, He Boqiang actually mentioned that he wanted to marry the daughter of a noble lord. He Boqiang glanced at Suldak speechlessly, and pointed to the wedding ring on his left ring finger.

   "Are you reminding me that I am already married, so stop thinking about marrying a daughter of a noble lord?"

  Seeing that Suldak finally interpreted He Boqiang's simple gesture correctly, He Boqiang nodded.

   Then he stuffed another piece of tender mutton into his mouth, and then poured the rest of the roast meat into a leather pocket.

  These barbecues are brought to the soldiers of the second team. They can’t eat here by themselves, but the soldiers of the second team need to wait until tomorrow morning to eat dry baked wheat cakes.

  Probably because he drank a glass of ale, he knew that he shouldn't drink to this guy. I've never seen a person with such a low drinking capacity.

  Suldak sighed at this time: "If you can become a nobleman, what does it matter if you get married? As long as I can afford them, I can actually marry a few more. Who doesn't have a noble dream..."

   "... I hope to have a manor and a farm near the lake in the future. At that time, I can build two exquisite villas in the manor. You can choose one of them..."

  He Boqiang sometimes wants to sew up his broken mouth with thread, so that at least half of his world will be clean, and the other half is brought to him by Red Sox and Augustus.

  Speaking of the latter part, Suldak couldn't help holding He Boqiang's hand again:

"I know! Without you, in the 57th Regiment, I would at most be the captain of the second squadron, but now I am a reserve knight, the deputy squadron leader of the sixth squadron, I never dared to think There will be such a day..."

   As he spoke, Suerdak's eyes that had been somewhat intoxicated suddenly became sober. He suddenly puffed up his chest and greeted the young man who came from the noisy crowd with a smile:

   "...Hi! Your Excellency Laurent Goss, I just saw you dancing with a beautiful female swordsman."

The person in front of him turned out to be the young nobleman who was taking the reserve knight assessment with Suldak. He Boqiang heard from Suldak that this guy was a distant relative of Earl Mond Goss and a third-class baron. .

   Baron Laurent Goss came over with a glass of wine and greeted Suldak: "Hello, Knight Suldak."

  He was wearing a somewhat worn aristocratic gown tonight, and his whole body was filled with a sense of decadence. His mental state was not very good, as if he hadn't recovered from the shock of the reserve knight assessment.

He sat on the tree stump opposite to Suldak and complained to Suldak: "This dance is really boring. These guys are like beasts emitting male hormones. Look at the desire in their eyes. Under the light of the fire, they are so unscrupulous, even the last bit of restraint is wiped out, it's really ridiculous, what about their aristocratic etiquette?"

  He spoke a little excitedly, always likes to keep waving his hands in front of his face, and his meticulously combed hair is also a little messy.

  He Boqiang listened to him criticize the nobles dancing on the dance floor with righteous words, and he felt like he couldn't eat grapes and thought grapes were sour.

   At this moment, Suldak pointed to the direction of the dance floor and reminded Laurent Goss:

   "Ahem, Mr. Laurent Goss, there is a noble lady over there who seems to be looking at you..."

   Laurent Goss turned around abruptly, and saw the sweaty female swordsman smiling softly at him under the light of the bonfire, and squatting slightly with the skirt of her evening dress.

Laurent Goss seemed to be filled with energy in an instant. He straightened his body all of a sudden, drank the unfinished wine in his hand, and then stuffed the wine glass into Suldak's hand, his eyes became bright. Looking at the female swordsman, her eyes became a little straight.

   Said to Suldak: "Actually, I want to say that this dance is quite interesting!"

   "..."

  He Boqiang wanted to know at this moment whether he would become so neurotic after becoming a nobleman.

  Then he glanced at Suldak, and the Suldak in front of him had this kind of development trend.

   "Why do you look at me with that disgusting look..."

  Suldak asked He Boqiang in a daze.

  He Boqiang also saw Baron Sidney and his beautiful fiancee Miss Hathaway at the ball.

But until the end of the dance, the two of them seemed to have just danced together. Although the two of them appeared to be so well-matched in front of outsiders, He Boqiang could feel that the relationship between the two of them was not the same. So intimate on the surface...
