Chapter 188 Red Rose

The evening wind is strong and the night chill has fallen.

"...right there."

"Oh, thank you!"

Huh... Tang En opened his mouth and let out a breath of white air, thanked the aunt who showed the way, and took little Carol's hand and walked towards several brightly lit buildings.

That is where the Gray Army delivers its voice to the outside world - the Propaganda Department.

The city publicity plan was successful in the first battle, and according to the old rules of the Gray Army, it was natural to celebrate. But why it has been postponed so far, Tang En has no idea. Recently, he has devoted all his attention to asking Zuo Fan to be an assistant coach, and has hardly paid attention to the current situation in the station.

Probably the second wave of city publicity plan has been launched... Tang En guessed.

"Brother Tang En, why are we here?" Little Carol raised her head and asked.

Tang En scratched his head: "Of course... come and eat good food."

"Oh." Little Carol nodded, looking a little expectant.

It's a party, so naturally there will be some snacks and desserts. But of course Tang En came here not just to take little Carol to eat. To be honest, he had never been interested in any celebration parties. He only came because of Luo Sha's special invitation.

The person sent by Luo Sha did not say anything specific, but based on Tang En's understanding of her, he probably had something to help with. Tsk tsk, in this case, I wonder if we can use this to get Zuo Fan... "Tang?"

Just when Tang En was about to walk into the door of the Propaganda Department, a voice like a clear bell with a hint of doubt came from the side.

"Hi, good evening, Joshua." Tang En was very familiar with the owner of this voice, and waved hello before he even turned around.

"Hello, Sister Josiah!" Little Carol also nodded and said hello.

Josiah, who was wearing a white dress, trotted over and touched Carol's soft hair first: "Well, good evening, little Carol." Then he stood up and smiled at Tang En: "Haha, it's really true. You? I remember you don’t like such occasions? "

"It's good to come here once in a while. You know, there are the most beautiful women here." Tang En raised his eyebrows and made a joke.

"Ha, you're lying, I don't believe it." Joshua slapped Tang En on the shoulder familiarly and laughed.

"Isn't it unfair?" Tang En took a small step back and spread his arms in an exaggerated manner, "Look, I must be lucky, I met him when I came here!"

"Uh, haha..." Joshua was stunned for a moment, then covered his mouth and let out a hearty and heroic laugh. As long as you are a woman, you will always like the voice that praises you.

"By the way, aren't you cold? Wear this..." Tang En pointed at Joshua and said.

Although it was a conservative long skirt, the white jade forearms were still exposed. Besides, the skirt couldn't be any thicker.

Little Carol pouted on the side, as if she disagreed with Tang En's statement. She just thought the dress was beautiful.

"It's a party, what can a woman wear if she doesn't wear this...Besides, have you forgotten my profession?" Joshua raised his face and said proudly.

"Oh." Tang En slapped his forehead and shook his head slightly, "I forgot that you are an ice magician."

The profession of magician is extremely sensitive to external elements belonging to his own system. Now that Josiah is an intermediate ice magician, he can naturally resist this level of cold.

"Okay, Don, let's go in first."

At this time, the number of people coming here was gradually increasing. Josiah stood at the gate and naturally attracted a lot of attention, so he proposed to go in first, "Well, the beauty please go first!" Tang En spread his hands and continued to joke.

"Hey, you..." Joshua's beautiful face glowed, believing that if there weren't too many people here, he would take a small revenge. He gave Tang En an angry look, took little Carol's hand and walked into the door of the Propaganda Department first.

Tang En chuckled and followed. The killer quickly glanced around. There was no eye-catching person, but there were obviously more guards, probably because Luo Sha was coming here.

As soon as he entered the party hall of the Propaganda Department, a warm wave came to his face, and then various sounds came to his ears one after another.

"Miss Joshua..."

"Captain Josiah..."

"Oh, our little Luosha is here, hey, this is..."

…Josiah’s reputation is unquestionable, not to mention this is the Propaganda Department. So among the various greetings, Joshua looked at Tang En apologetically.

Tang En shrugged, indicating that it was nothing, and stepped away, watching Josiah and little Carol skillfully respond to various greetings.

The layout of the hall is very simple and casual. There is a table of food, desserts, bottles of wine, and some musical instruments surrounding it. There is no fixed person to play, so anyone can come up and perform impromptu. As for the large space in the middle, there are now many people standing chatting. After the party begins, there should be a place for dancing.

When Tang En was in Laiyan City, he went to several noble banquets, and the situation here was certainly incomparable. But just like that, the people in the hall were already very satisfied. You must know that before there was no fixed place, they all gathered in the open air.

The reason why the Gray Army holds frequent gatherings is also based on this consideration. In the cold winter, campfires are not enough to warm people's bodies. But as long as you have a party and everyone comes together to sing and dance, the cold will soon be driven away.

Looking around, big shots like Luo Sha and others haven't arrived yet. Except for the people who went to Liva City with Josiah to promote, Tang En didn't know anyone else here. He randomly found a corner and got something to fill his stomach first.

Because the party had not officially started, most people were chatting in groups. The content is certainly not like business among nobles. It can be said that because we were in a barren mountain and couldn't see anything new, everyone talked about recent interesting things. For example, the "Kongming Lantern" that Tang En made before was mentioned by many people.

After a little observation, Tang En felt that his previous joke was not wrong. There are so many women in the Propaganda Department... It's no wonder that Tang En feels so emotional. This is actually the case. There is no serious patriarchal mentality in this world, and it is very common for women to do things. Even in the gray army, there are teams composed of women. However, because the number of people is not too large and there is no formal establishment, there are few opportunities to fight. But if you want to ask which department of the Gray Army has the most women, it is undoubtedly the Propaganda Department.

It is also conceivable that the gray-coated army takes the civilian route. Women of this class rarely have the opportunity to be exposed to fighting spirit and fighting, so civilian jobs like the Propaganda Department are undoubtedly more popular among them.

The matching of men and women makes the work less tiring. This is a universal truth. In addition, there are no rules against love in the Gray Army, so if there are men and women in a department, the opportunity to get close to the public is not to be missed.

Tang En's observations were so sharp. He could easily capture the emotions in the eyes of some young men and women who seemed to be talking quietly from a distance. Gee, there really is a love department... But despite this, Tang En still found that most of the young men present were looking at Josiah in the crowd from time to time.

Beauty, intelligence, a unique temperament that cannot be concealed, and a noble status as a magician... It can be said that no matter where he is, Josiah will be the center of attention.

It is precisely because of this that although Josiah has always been gentle, most young people just look at him with admiration, and few of them muster up the courage to come forward and say hello.

Tang En's eyes did not fall on Joshua at this time. Of course, because of the surrounding figures, he couldn't see him even if he wanted to. He was looking at Carol with a frown... Even though there were many people greeting her kindly, Carol still had that cold expression, her face was tight and unmoved at all.

In fact, Tang En discovered this very early on. Except for himself and a few acquaintances, little Carol almost never had contact with outsiders, let alone acting coquettishly, smiling, etc., which Frey and the others rarely saw. .

At first, Tang En only thought that little Carol was stimulated by the previous tragic incident and that she would be fine in the future. But after a few months, Carol's symptoms have not eased, but she seems to have gotten used to it.

Tang En didn't want little Carol to be silent all day long like Zuo Fan. As a child, she had to act like a child, so he recently started to change this situation, and taking her to a party was one of them. But judging from the current situation, it has little effect... Tang En scratched his head. He was not an impatient person, but he really had no experience in taking care of and raising children. It would be impossible to leave it to others to take care of him. You must know that children Carol didn't even want to live with Josiah.

It's so nerve-wracking... "Haha, you also like Miss Joshua?"

Just when Tang En was grabbing his hair, frowning and thinking, a slightly sharp voice came from next to him. Turning around, a young man with a few freckles on his face sat over, holding a wine glass.

"Don't think about it, it's useless." The young man with freckles followed Tang En's gaze, looked at Joshua in the crowd, and shrugged, "It's not just about thinking of some novel ways to move the other party. It's pleasing to the eye, and... Haha, even if Miss Joshua is not someone who values ​​appearance, status, etc., the people around her won't let you go around easily."

Tang En raised his eyebrows: "You misunderstood..."

"Misunderstanding? Haha, there's no need to hide it. Which man here doesn't want to be with Joshua?" He chuckled twice, patted Tang En on the shoulder, and then pointed to the crowd, "Have you seen that person? On the left side of Josiah, there is a man who deliberately puts on an elegant and reserved face but cannot hide his arrogance and **."

This description... Tang En squinted his eyes and nodded, which is quite appropriate.

"His name is Quincy, and he is the nephew of Propaganda Minister Quinwell. Those around him also have some backgrounds. How about it, now you understand what I mean."

Tang En nodded suddenly. Status is something that can only be achieved by a few people coming together, not to mention the gray-clothed army that is now forming a collective. Maybe this kind of status does not produce any great privilege effect now, but for others, it actually exists. Thinking of this, he turned around and said, "Then why don't you try it?"

Although the scope of this celebration banquet is only those within the Propaganda Department, it does not prevent some people from entering through other methods. For example, Tang En himself, or the unattractive young man in front of him. The reason for this judgment is that people in the Propaganda Department often add the suffix "leader" when calling Josiah.

"Me? Haha, I'm called self-aware." The young man smiled, then pointed at the freckles on his face in a self-deprecating way, "Of course, it can be understood as inferiority complex."

"Haha..." Tang En laughed twice after hearing this. This young man is quite a wonderful person.

"Let me introduce you." The young man picked up the wine glass and said, "Fei Rui!"

Wow - just at this moment, there was a noise in the distance, like a beehive exploding.

Tang En turned around and saw a red rose held up in front of Joshua through the gap in the crowd. The person who sent it could not be seen, but judging from the previous position, it should be Quincy.

"What a fool in this situation..." Fei Rui, who was beside him, obviously saw this scene and couldn't help sighing.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a darkening in the corner of his eyes. The person beside him suddenly stood up, and then the wine glass he had not taken back was lightly knocked, "Twain!"

Tang En... Before Fei Rui could recover from this somewhat familiar name, he saw that Tang En drank the wine in one gulp, then put down the glass and strode towards the field. In that direction, it was Joshua. The group of people...
