Chapter 174: Purple Flames
Well, although the Seaweed Head family, ah, the Violet family has just helped themselves, but now they have been killed by their own ungrateful mouth, and it is estimated that they can't swallow good delicacies, right? Well, in such a happy situation as bombarding the rich and handsome NPC with his mouth and slapping the face of the gentleman, he should at least be rewarded with a title like "counterattacking civilian", right? What a stingy system.
Lu Xi is not worried that he will be kicked out of the restaurant because of a bitter mouthpiece, after all, even if he is a chicken belly, he still has to pay attention to a face. Or it can be said that the narrow-minded superior person is, the more he needs to disguise himself in public, even if he has blood, tears and teeth in his stomach, he must be magnanimous and magnanimous, otherwise he will no longer be able to maintain the position of the superior.
So, Lu Xi returned to the hall with a very relaxed mood, glanced at it, and soon found his friends sitting in a secluded corner.
"Oh, I'm back. Sehiru, did you order food for me? â
A look of concern flashed in the eyes of the honor girl, and she showed a relieved expression on her face, obviously wanting to ask something, but she said very arrogantly: "Of course not!" I thought His Excellency the Secretary of State was going to keep you for a big meal. â
Don't pretend, girl, I know you're actually trying to ask, didn't that group of seaweed heads do anything to you?
"Don't worry, even if it's a wealthy family whose heart is smaller than the tip of a needle, it is also a matter of face, and no matter how you say it, it is impossible to treat me in public. Besides, if you really want to do it, you don't know who is unlucky? Lu Xi shrugged: "I came out after a little drink with them." â
"That's fine, no matter how unwilling you are, the Violet family is also the ruler of the Federation. It's also a wise choice to be able to reconcile with them. Even Carol, an unruly and unruly delinquent teenager, said such old-fashioned and serious words at this time. I don't know if it's because he has become an old fritter after staying in the military academy for a long time, or because the seaweed head family has put too much pressure on you.
"I want to reconcile with them, too! So I'm just constructively proposing some future career plans to the Home Secretary's son and nephew. Unexpectedly, their faces changed one by one, as if I had dug up their ancestral graves. Alas, who dares to be innocent? â
After being stunned for a few seconds, Sai Xiliu couldn't help but say loudly: "You...... Don't think I don't know, you must be being harsh and sarcastic! After all, that's also the top magnate of the Federation, you guy, alas, when will you be able to restrain a little. â
"If it converges, won't it be me? If I really want to become an old fritter with long sleeves and good dancing, Sesilyu and Lim will definitely not pay attention to me anymore. Who am I going to cry to? â
"You, you, don't think you can fool around every time you use this set." Sai Xiliu blushed and said loudly: "I'm not those two princesses, I forgot my last name when you coaxed me into two sentences!" â
"Her Royal Highness the Princess? Two of you? â
"Don't care, it's all a mistake you made when you were younger. Oh, Lim, don't use your knife to make a supplementary explanation at this time! Lu Xi covered his head and said: "All in all, the superiors who do not match their status and talent are such a distorted existence after all, and they have always been unable to listen to the truth." It's a nightmare to be with them! So I had no choice but to try my best to escape and seek comfort from my friends. â
The thoughtful Drow girl frowned. showed a worried expression: "Young Master Lu Xi, a super gate valve like the Violet family, who has been in power for hundreds of years, must also have a reason for them to be dominant for a while, and it is absolutely impossible for just some children who sit in the well and watch the sky to maintain their position as the leader of their faction." There must be some hole cards and hidden powers and so on. You have offended this family now, and you should be careful in the future. â
"I didn't want to offend them, they were the ones who came first." Lu Xi disturbed his scalp. showed a very helpless expression: "I understand what you mean." But as long as you eat mixed rice on this river and lake, you will inevitably offend people. Don't offend the guy who doesn't like the eye, why don't you go to the person who looks pleasing to the eye to offend? â
"Young Master Lu Xi, you are a typical sophistry!" Eloville couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Sophistry is indicated. We shouldn't waste our lives discussing things like the seaweed head family that are neither cute nor burning. Since it is rare to have a local tyrant to entertain you, you should devote all your energy to enjoying five-star food and service. Lu Xi smiled and beckoned to the waiter not far away and took the menu.
A five-star restaurant is a five-star restaurant, and the hospitality is all those celebrities and gentry who don't get tired of eating, both the ingredients and the cooking are breathtaking, and even the top seafood anchovies that can only be caught by Chenhai in summer are prepared, and they are seasoned with a secret soup, even a person like Lu Xi is absolutely delicious.
But weren't they still saying they were running low on ingredients an hour ago?
Although the character of this shop is indeed very problematic, and it is estimated that the price is even more problematic, but the taste and service are indeed top-notch, and the waiters here don't know that Lu Xi sneered at the Turner family just a few minutes ago, and only knew that Lu Xi was the guest of honor of the Minister of the Interior, so the service was more thoughtful.
So, after tasting the creamy black truffle soup, the first plate of Neptune Tower with foie gras, the main course with veal loin roasted on the vine and the secret anchovies, and the green apple smeared with top caviar salad as a dessert, Lu Xi saw that Carol's expression was already a little pale, and it seemed that if he had a few more sets of dishes, even for a local tyrant like him, he would be unable to bear it.
"Look at it this way, even if we order a full set according to the menu of Auckland's court cuisine today, these guys can definitely make it. Well, who the hell said that the capital is short of food? Inside the door and outside the door, these are two worlds apart! Now you know why certain cults can win so many followers? â
"What are you referring to as a cult? Ryurhuo? Monism? â
"Those guys are just a bunch of brain-dead airwaves, and I mean some kind of party that unleashes populism monsters, compared to that monsters. Even if all the fallen demon gods in ancient times are resurrected, they are at most second-rate terrorists...... Well. Anyway, you don't understand, so I'm talking about the Ryurhuo Sect and the Monist Sect. â
There are several words in just one sentence that I have never heard of at all. Naturally, everyone didn't understand, so they could only look at Lu Xi with a very powerful expression of adoration, so that the sullen pseudo-mother once again enjoyed the prophetic feeling of "pedantic celestial".
It's a pity that this kind of enjoyment didn't last long, and Seyliu snorted coldly in the next second: "Hmph, cult? You're thinking about the princess of Virginia again, right? â
In the eyes of outsiders, cults and princesses should be two things that can't even have a half-dime relationship, but women's brain replenishment ability is very strong, especially jealous women, especially jealous and arrogant women. For Seyrilu, the above dialogue was enough for her to complete the association from "cult - demon - side by side - Artoria" in a second.
"Princess of Virginia?" The guy who looks like a serious young officer, but who is still a bad boy in his bones, has wide eyes and a face full of envy.
"Oh, that's amazing!" The heart of the Drow girl was also filled with a thick fire of gossip: "Could it be that between Young Master Lu Xi and Princess Vegia, there is any story that has to be told?" â
"To be exact, it's a story that I have to tell about a triangular relationship with Auckland's princess with Virginia, but it's a long story. Do you really want to hear it? Lu Xi showed an innocent look, so authentic.
Carol looked at Lu Xi with pity: "I understand, men have dreams, but you really don't need to die in front of your friends." â
See? I knew that no one would believe the truth.
Lu Xi shrugged at Sai Xiliu. expressed the above meaning with her eyes, so angry that the girl almost bit her silver teeth.
After eating and settling the bill, I walked out of the restaurant. Carol was holding her much slimmer purse and looking at the sky with an expression that was about to shatter the void, and almost hit her head on a lamppost on the side of the road. The drow girl who couldn't look at it pinched him hard. This allowed him to recover from the self-loathing of losing his wealth.
"You should be in the capital for a while, right?"
"I can't say for sure." Lu Xi thought of the reckless invitation, "After all, we are theoretically members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Perhaps tomorrow a new order will be issued, and I will be sent out of the country. The hard-working petty civil servants can offend the aristocracy, but they really can't offend the government that pays their salaries! â
"Isn't it a good thing to travel abroad at public expense? It's too late for a lot of people to envy you. â
"It's really not a backache to stand and talk, and when the time comes, let you go to the end of a certain icy and snowy world to call out for love loudly, and then see if you can cry or not. Seyleu, when you went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to report on your work just now, did you have any insight from above? â
"I was consulted by the Director of the Human Resources Office. Because Lu Xi is no longer a military attache counselor in Auckland, he naturally doesn't need an assistant. If I wanted to, I could go back to work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs right away, well, although I prefer to work abroad, but the thought of not having to be dictated like a maid by you is good news. â
"Don't say that. Seylu, we've been through so much together. I always thought we were fighting side by side, and the landslide couldn't separate my partner Shenma......"
"Who...... Who can't be separated from you! â
Seeing the red-faced honor student who was being teased by himself, Lu Xi's bad eyes began to bubble again, and when he was about to flirt with a few words, he saw that the group of the Laverhead family happened to walk out of the restaurant under the congratulations of the restaurant owner and the waiter foreman, and got into the spacious and gorgeous four-wheeled carriage. Before stepping into the carriage, Lu Xi could clearly feel that the Interior Secretary's eagle-like eyes had looked over and stayed on him for at least five seconds.
Voyeurism? Hmph, what a nasty old man.
Lu Xi turned around, but saw four horses moving their iron hooves, making a heavy but rhythmic sound of stepping on the ground, pulling the carriage engraved with the violet coat of arms and driving away in an extremely arrogant manner.
Do you know that it is entirely possible to be struck by lightning if you mess with zĂ i in front of the protagonist?
At this time, the object of Lu Xi's slander was sitting in the carriage, with a very elegant smile on his face, and he should be in a very good mood: "This is really interesting." â
"Father, what's interesting? It's clearly a rude wild cat! I really don't understand why you can bear it! This doesn't look like a father I know! â
"That's because you're such an idiot that you don't even know your own father completely." Turner looked coldly at his shouting son, who never hid his blatant disdain, even though he was his own flesh and blood.
The head of the top ten princes of the Federation, who was commanding at outsiders and was majestic, had not lasted for two seconds under his father's contempt, and he quickly flattened down like a punctured balloon, and no longer had the momentum just now.
"Make it clear, my stupid son." The leader of the Federation Gate Valve faction said coldly: "The superior needs to maintain a sense of mystery and majesty towards the foolish people, and also need to unite a force that can be united. You have only learned the former, and the latter does not understand anything, so how can I pass on the family business to you with confidence? â
"Then let such an upstart be to spread wild on the head of the Wilambat family? If this continues, why should we maintain the so-called mystery and majesty......" Duyd's son muttered, his voice so small that he could almost hear it, but he finally spoke his heart.
"No, he is only spreading wildness on your head, not on the head of the Wilambat family. Stupid son, what is it that makes you have such a delusion, thinking that a gentleman like you who doesn't know the height of the sky can represent the dignified Violet family? â
"Father...... Father......"
"Don't blame Duyd, uncle." Geisel on the side smiled and persuaded him: "In the final analysis, he is just worried about you and the family's face. â
His tone is gentle and elegant, his smile is calm and confident, but he doesn't see any offensive aggressiveness, and the arrogant "top student" who is strong in the restaurant seems to be completely two people.
"You don't have to speak for him. The most embarrassing thing for the family is this self-righteous thing. Old Turner's words still didn't hear any warmth, but his eyes finally calmed down: "Rudolph, this time you finally see the real person, what do you say?" â
"Unruly is indeed the unique personality of an excellent character, so Lu Xi? It's no surprise that Belencaster would have reacted today. However, he was not a stubborn fool like Rassell, nor was he a born man who did not eat the fireworks of the world like his teacher. Sooner or later, reality will make him understand who is the real ruler of this country, and even the powerful who have reached the peak of their power must compromise for the sake of life. That's when the olive branch you throw today can be truly effective. "Rudolph? Gezette looked at his cousin, who had been lying by the window, staring blankly at the night scene speeding by outside the window, and nodded: "At least we already know that he is not a saint who is not swayed by money and beauty. This is, a little wronged cousin. â
"I'm not aggrieved at all!" The innocent and innocent sixteen-year-old girl still blinked her eyes, and the big innocent eyes under the long eyelashes suddenly became vivid, as if a raging fire was dancing in them: "I am also very interested in the man who can be favored by the princesses of the two empires."
