Chapter 1623 A Happy Life

This banquet could not be held until late at night, so I sent someone to the New Brave Guild to pick up Jin Siqi.

Jin Siqi was wearing a guild uniform and looked normal, but the small hands tightly twisting her sleeves revealed her nervous mood at this time.

She first saluted the old Duke, then nodded to Harold, and then came to my side. She grabbed my fingers hard with her little hands, squeezed them a few times, and said slightly: "Why is it so sudden? Give me some time to prepare."

I turned my face slightly, with a sense of grievance, and whispered: "I didn't expect the old Duke to be so enthusiastic, but..."

"Nothing but what?" Jin Siqi's face was condensed, and she looked up and down hurriedly.

"But you really fit this uniform," I said with a smile on my lips: "It not only brings out your heroic appearance, but also highlights your vigorous and resolute temperament."

When Jin Siqi heard this, her cheeks were slightly red, and she was extremely embarrassed. However, this shy state only lasted for a few seconds. Suddenly her face changed, and she pinched my waist with her little hands, and said angrily: "You want to say something about me?" If you’re not feminine, just say it!”

I gasped and begged for mercy in a low voice: "Spare my life, I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't say it again, hey, hey, be gentle, the flesh will be pinched off, hiss, can you go home, here?" There are still people watching.”

Jin Siqi retracted her hand fiercely and smiled apologetically at the old Duke.

The old Duke laughed, then pretended not to see anything, picked up the teacup, and continued drinking tea.

On the other side, Harold looked at me with a smile. His expression looked like a father-in-law watching his daughter and son-in-law misbehave.

The dinner had been prepared for a full hour. The moment the restaurant door was opened, everyone was immersed in the aroma of the food and felt energetic. Looking from a distance, it was a table full of delicacies and a dazzling array of dishes.

It really makes your mouth water when you smell it, and your index finger moves when you look at it.

It's simply a hundred times more delicious than the Beastman King's royal meal.

The old Duke straightened his waist and said with a proud look, "How about it? How is my family's meal better than your Majesty's?"

If these words were placed on the blue planet, 80% of them would be considered to be rebellious.

But here, it was the old Duke who said this again, and the taste was different.

I gave a thumbs up and said immediately: "People say that the old Duke has two characteristics. One is that he is tough in battle and can be said to be the bravest of the three armies. The other is that he has a special liking for delicacies. Today I saw that it is true. Not to mention anything else, the exquisiteness of this dish is already rare, not to mention that there are so many varieties and characteristics. You can eat such a meal every day. The old Duke is worthy of being one of the gourmets! "

The old duke laughed heartily, as if he had drank nectar and eaten elixir and flat peaches.

After everyone sat down, the banquet began.

The old Duke first picked a piece of roast beef and cut it into pieces slowly and slowly, while saying: "Xiao Yi, you have made the greatest contribution to this dispatch of troops. Why don't we go together to quell the chaos and accumulate some merits? This It will be of great help to you in your future career as prime minister."

I played with the lettuce leaves and said slowly: "I am only good at killing monsters, not killing people. What's more, I was born to yearn for a free life. I have never considered how long I can stay in the position of prime minister."

"I used to have the same idea as you. I just wanted to be an adventurer who wandered around the clouds and wild cranes. I killed monsters every day, made some money, had no worries about food and clothing, and had a happy family. That was the greatest happiness. Then I met my old master. He told me that a man must live a vigorous life, be responsible, and have courage. He must not only be able to protect his family, but also defend his country. Only then can he be regarded as a good man with blood, and only then can he be regarded as worthy of his life. "Old Duke Putting down the knife and fork, he picked up a cut piece of beef with chopsticks and said seriously: "So, I gave up on Xianyun Yehe, gave up on my free heart, and chose to join the army and become the commander-in-chief of Dashai City. Together with my old master Together, we fought in all directions and pacified the frontiers. To this day, that passionate life still appears in front of me from time to time. Every time I think of it, it makes me excited for a long time. Let me put it this way, it was the most correct decision in my life. , just listened to the old master’s words, joined the army, and made contributions to Dasai City.”

The old man was so excited that the chopsticks in his hands started to tremble, and the piece of beef he held fell onto the plate even before he kept trembling.

After he subconsciously put the chopsticks into his mouth and chewed twice, he realized what he was doing and then laughed at himself.

I cut the lettuce leaves into thin strips, picked up one with a fork, stuffed it into my mouth, chewed it twice, and then sighed softly and said: "What the old Duke said is very true, and I also yearn for the passionate story you told me. Aspirational life, but you are different from me, you have choices, but I have no choices."

The old Duke raised his eyebrows, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "How do you say this?"

"The old Duke must know my identity. Do you think a person with my status can only be loyal to one country?"

After hearing this, the old Duke was startled, then shook his head and laughed, saying, "If you didn't tell me, I would have really forgotten."

As he said that, he raised his chopsticks, tapped me, and said, "You see, kid, this is the price for your troubles."

I smiled bitterly and said, "You are right."

After the dinner, it was already late at night, and the old Duke wanted to stay with us, but I politely declined.

On the way home, I patted Harold on the shoulder and praised: "The performance today was good, you almost took it seriously."

Harold was stunned: "What kind of show are you playing?"

I said: "It's the part about requesting to join the army."

"That's not an act." Harold shook his head and said, "It's my sincerity. Compared with Airui City, I like it here better. There are no intrigues, intrigues, and too many conflicts and differences of interest. We are as close as brothers." , have fun together, for me, this is simply the most beautiful paradise."

"That's great of you to think so," I nodded.

Next to her, Jin Siqi said: "You are traveling with the army this time. When you come back, you will probably be knighted by the Orc King. With the title, you will have established a firm foothold in Dashai City. Do you have any plans in the future, such as watching? Which girl in the guild have you fallen in love with, or do you have someone you like?"

Harold's face turned red and he said, "We are all old friends and we know each other well. Please stop teasing me."

Jin Siqi smiled and said: "This is not a joke, but the truth. I can't stay in Dashai City all my life. Sooner or later, I will hand over the position of president to you. By then, you can You are not as free as you are now. You are busy every day, and it is impossible without a good helper. So, while Xiaoyi still comes to Dasai City from time to time, you should get your things done quickly. So that you don’t have to complain randomly when you’re exhausted later.”

After hearing this, Harold's face turned even redder, but when he was shy, his expression became a little more disappointed.
