Chapter 143: The Prime Minister of the Empire (Part 1)

Even in a carriage, it still takes some time to get from Su Cheng's house to Baiyang Palace.

Su Cheng who was sitting in the carriage, in order to pass the short boring time in the carriage, opened the curtains of the window on the carriage and looked out.

Pendragon is the political, economic, and cultural center of the Britannia Empire. It is also the most populous city in the Britannia Empire. It is the only big city in the Britannia Empire with a population of over one million.

Even at night, everywhere in Pendragon is still brightly lit. No matter day or night, there are a large number of small vendors on both sides of the street, shouting hard, asking passers-by to take a look at his products.

Although these small vendors occupied both sides of the street, which somewhat damaged the appearance of the city, but it must be said that without these vendors, the bustle of the entire Pendragon would be reduced by a few points.

Usually, Pendragon's night is already lively enough. But Su Cheng found that tonight seemed to be a little more lively than before.

Whether it is pedestrians on the street or small vendors on both sides of the street, the number is much larger than before.

Looking at the bustling streets with people coming and going, Su Cheng thought about it for a while, and then figured out the reason:

Today is the last day of the 289th year of the imperial calendar. After 12 o'clock tonight, it will be a new year. Tonight is the last night of this year. To commemorate, many people choose to go out to play tonight.

And many small vendors must have seen that there must be a lot of pedestrians on the road tonight, so they will go out to set up stalls tonight.

After Su Cheng looked at the bustling street outside the window, he looked away, closed the curtain of the car window again, then leaned back against the soft back of the chair, and closed his eyes.

"Is tonight the last night of this year... A lot of things really happened this year..."

Su Cheng whispered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.

Su Cheng recalled all kinds of past events this year.

In the first half of this year, he was still living in Mr. Falk's mansion with Carol and Alan, and he was Mr. Falk's "door guest".

At that time, he was just an unknown person, and his outstanding strengths may be that he is especially good at telling stories, has read a lot of history books, and has some research on history.

However, Mr. Falk's business began to decline gradually. In order to reduce expenses, he had no choice but to fire some less important "reserves".

The brother and sister Su Cheng and Alan were expelled just like that.

Kailor, who was not dismissed, also took the initiative to apply to leave, and left Falk with Su Cheng and Alan, and came to Pendragon.

On the way, I met Deng Jiaer. The 3-person team grew into a 4-person team.

Obviously the first half of this year was so dull, but after leaving Falk and coming to Pendragon in the second half of the year, the experience began to become exciting.

In the first half of this year, he never imagined that in the second half of the year, he would become an imperial knight.

And also fought two battles!

He was promoted to Knight of Xingui in World War I and Knight of Double Oak in World War II.

The speed of promotion is simply appalling.

Perhaps until the fall of the Britannia Empire, no one will be able to break his record.

And after fighting these two battles, he gradually became famous, and his name has gradually spread.

He was walking on the streets of Pendragon now, and there was always someone who would recognize him.

From an ordinary civilian to a well-known knight, from obscurity to fame.

So much happened this year.

"We must continue to work hard in the new year..."

Su Cheng showed a wry smile, and while rubbing his temples on both sides, he encouraged and encouraged himself.

at this time--

"Sir, Baiyang Palace is here."

— came the voice of the coachman.

"En." Su Cheng responded casually.

Immediately afterwards,

The coachman jumped down from his seat, then quickly walked to the side of the carriage, and helped Su Cheng open the carriage door.

After walking out of the carriage door opened by the coachman, Su Cheng thanked the carriageway with a smile:

"Thank you, you worked hard all the way, thank you for pulling the cart for me."

After listening to Su Cheng's thanks, the coachman was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly bowed to Su Cheng, looking flattered, and hurriedly said:

"Sir, you are too polite! It is my duty to pull the cart, so there is no need to thank me."

As soon as the coachman finished speaking, Su Cheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and then walked straight towards Baiyang Palace.

After entering the Baiyang Palace, two attendants greeted him immediately.

There are stoves in every corner of the Baiyang Palace, so the entire Baiyang Palace is warm enough to walk around in single clothes.

One of the attendants took Su Cheng's coat and put it away, while the other asked if Su Cheng had an invitation letter for tonight's year-end dinner.

Su Cheng nodded, and after answering "yes", he took out the invitation letter plated with gold and exquisitely like a work of art.

After receiving the invitation letter and confirming the authenticity of the invitation letter, the attendant showed a professional smile, made a "please" gesture to Su Cheng, and then led Su Cheng towards the banquet venue of the year-end dinner.

Soon, the attendant led Su Cheng to the banquet venue for the year-end dinner.

After entering the banquet venue for the year-end dinner, Su Cheng's first impression of the banquet venue was that it was big!

The banquet venue is amazingly large!

Su Cheng roughly estimated that even if there were more than a thousand people in this banquet place, it would not feel crowded.

The year-end dinner was exhausted, and there were only a few hundred people. It was definitely more than enough for a banquet in such a large venue.

Around the venue, there are many chairs and small tables, which are special places for guests to rest.

In the center of the venue, there are rows of long tables, and pieces of white silk are spread on the long tables.

Silk is a very expensive fabric in this different world, generally only nobles and wealthy merchants can afford it.

And for this year-end banquet, such expensive silk was used as the tablecloth...

Su Cheng has already begun to understand why this year-end dinner is famous all over the world for its luxury.

Although the dinner party has not started yet, a lot of food has already been placed on the long table.

Su Cheng took a rough look and found that most of the food on the table are appetizing fruits and vegetables.

In addition to a lot of appetizers, there are also a lot of juices and fine wines on the table.

Su Cheng walked around the table with fine wine, and the tempting aroma of the wine came over his face.

Just by smelling it, you can tell that the wines here are definitely first-class wines.

Looking at the table full of all kinds of fine wines in front of him, Su Cheng couldn't help smiling, thinking: If Kai Luoer was here and saw so many fine wines, wouldn't he be so happy? However, if Kailor is really here, although he will be very happy, he will definitely not drink.

In this world, anyone with a little common sense knows that the people of Britannia love to drink black tea, and the people of Hiram love to drink.

It is said that for every 100 empty wine bottles in the world, 60 bottles are disposed of by Hilan people.

The good wine of the Hiram people can be seen.

Kelor, who was born in the Holy Hiran Empire and is a pure-blooded Hiran, naturally also has this characteristic of the Hiran.

However, although Kelor loves to drink like most of the Hirans, he can't drink like most of the Hirans...

Even the "pine wine" with a very low alcohol content, Kai Luoer will be drunk after a few sips.

Carol is not only easy to get drunk, but also easy to go crazy and talk nonsense when drunk.

Kellor still knows about his tendency to go crazy with alcohol.

Therefore, in public, Carol would never drink alcohol, and only secretly drank some in private.

Therefore, Su Cheng is sure that even if Kai Luoer is here, she will definitely not touch these wines, and will just hide aside, swallowing, and enduring.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng felt that Kai Luoer seemed a bit pitiful, because of his personality that was prone to alcoholism, he couldn't drink his favorite wine in public.

At this moment, Su Cheng remembered what he told Kai Luoer and the others before leaving home just now, that he would try his best to bring back some of the wine here.

Su Cheng thought to himself:

Just get someone to ask if it's okay to take some of the wine left over from the party.

Just when Su Cheng was about to move his feet and find someone to ask, a familiar old voice came over:

"Mr. Cheng, you are here."

Su Cheng followed his reputation and found an old man wearing a monocle standing behind him, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Jacob!"
