Chapter 78 The Knight and the Angel in the Moonlight
Su Xi followed beside him, not knowing what to say.
When they got home, Su Xi was shocked by the decorations in front of him.
The hall used for the banquet was newly decorated, and the tables were filled with all kinds of fresh food.
Slaves came and went, lugging elaborate plates of gold and silver.
At this time, many guests have already arrived, just waiting for Su Xi and Lambert to come back.
Aware of Su Xi's nervousness, Lambert smiled softly and patted his hand: "This is a banquet to celebrate your safe return, so let's say hello to them."
The hero returns, and the feast begins in earnest, with the Romans reclining on lounge chairs as they dine, each accompanied by a slave who prepares and serves the nobles.
Although Su Xi has only traveled here for a day, this body is always his, and he is still able to respond to all kinds of greetings with ease, and the etiquette and rules are not bad at all.
It’s just that the intonation of the Romans always makes Su Xi, who is used to the oriental tone, a little uncomfortable. Their voices are ups and downs, which are a bit exaggerated or lyrical in the eyes of the East, but it is very common for people here. On the contrary, it is still a display of eloquence.
As an aristocrat or a senator, if he does not have good eloquence and cannot use lyrical language to move the audience to tears, then he is definitely not a good aristocrat.
There were very few nobles who came to celebrate Su Xi, and most of them came for Lambert.
Seeing that Lambert had attracted most of the firepower, Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly got up from the recliner.
Slipped to the back of the yard, but there was a small accident on the road, Su Xi bumped into a slave hiding behind a stone pillar.
Su Xi glanced at him and didn't plan to blame him, but the female slave who was rubbing her legs found Su Xi, her beautiful face was immediately stained with panic, her green eyes were full of pleading, and she knelt down and walked towards her. In front of Su Xi, he stammered: "Master... I swear, I'm just too tired, and I just took a rest."
The noble hosts were all at the banquet, and the female slave did not expect that Su Xi, the protagonist of the banquet, would appear on this somewhat secluded path.
Su Xi glanced at her swollen left ankle, and frowned imperceptibly: "What's wrong with your ankle?"
The female slave's expression tightened, she quickly shook her head, and tucked her ankles into the rough robe: "There is nothing."
Nothing at all?They're all swollen like that!The supposedly slender ankle was almost as thick as the calf.
Su Xi's eyebrows darkened: "Say."
Startled by his sudden increase in volume, the female slave bit her lower lip, her emerald green eyes overflowing with water, and she easily showed a charming and pitiful style.
Su Xi didn't understand, so slowly she just wanted to ask what happened to her feet and why she had such a big reaction.
"Pfft."
Suddenly there was a low laugh from behind, the voice was melodious and deep, as beautiful as a cello.
Su Xi was startled, and turned around quickly, only to see a figure suddenly appearing behind the tree, with a smile in his blue eyes as clear as the Aegean Sea, "Lovely young master, your servant is about to be bullied and cry by you."
Su Xi opened her eyes wide: "Nonsense! I didn't bully her."
The female slave also quickly said: "The master didn't bully me."
The man gradually emerged from the darkness. It was Horn who just parted this morning. When Horn faced the female slave, the smile in his eyes became lighter, and he said lightly, "Have you forgotten the etiquette of slaves?"
The female slave trembled, and immediately knelt heavily, her skull collided with the rough floor, making a crisp crashing sound.
Su Xi's body trembled inexplicably, feeling a little empathetic.
Horn explained softly: "If a slave is injured, then it is of no value."
In other words, he talked with the female slave for a long time, and the female slave was simply afraid that Su Xi would send her to mine.
Su Xi sighed imperceptibly: "Go down."
The female slave nodded and trotted back as if she was amnesty.
Standing at the back, Su Xi's expression showed a trace of pity, and he quickly suppressed it when facing Horn.
Horn gave a low laugh, took off the armor, and his expression looked a little relaxed.
Even the short blond hair swaying in the breeze seemed to have a touch of debauchery.
It was very different from the serious Horn in armor.
Su Xi looked at Horn with some doubts, as if he couldn't understand why a person's temperament could become so thorough.
Horn seemed to see Su Xi's doubts, put his hands on the back of his head, and raised the corners of his lips: "Put on the armor, and I will be the chief guard to protect the safety of the nobles." He paused, and winked at Su Xi: "And now, I'm just here to attend Lord Dylan's banquet."
His appearance was originally handsome and unruly, but when the tails of his eyes were lifted up, there was a bit of seductive twinkle, and Su Xi blushed.
Horn was... the first person to find him.
Su Xi bit her lip, the young man's face under the moonlight was white and beautiful, with a lustrous radiance around the edges, Horn's eyes were slightly startled.
Like the halo on the head of an angel, the young man exudes a clean and pure aura, so beautiful that it makes people...
The daze in Horn's eyes was replaced by a look of great interest. Remembering the young man's bewilderment when he faced the female slave just now, he couldn't help but bend his eyes.
Su Xi blinked: "What are you laughing at?"
Horn walked in front of him and said in a low voice: "Once upon a time there was a lamb that fell into the hunter's trap. It didn't want to escape, but begged the hunter to let it go."
Su Xi was confused when he heard this: "What's so funny about this?"
Horn pursed his lips and smiled, but remained silent. He reached out and stroked Su Xi's temples.
Su Xi opened his eyes slightly and held his breath unconsciously, but Horn's eyes were not at all charming. From the fingertips he put down, he could see a touch of green.
Su Xi loosened his fingertips, it turned out that he had taken off something from his hair. After he breathed a sigh of relief, Su Xi couldn't help feeling some other expectations.
"My lord, why didn't you stay at the banquet." Horn's voice was clear and beautiful, with a tone unique to nobles.
In fact, Horn is also a member of the knight class, but compared with Su Xi, he is far from enough.
That's why Horn tried his best to get close to him, Su Xi pursed his lips, and lowered his eyebrows slightly.
The world does not exclude homosexuals, and there is even an army composed of homosexuals.
On the surface, Horn's family maintains the status of aristocrats. In fact, because of his father's gambling and frequenting brothels, and his mother's illness, he spent a lot of savings, and was reduced from a nobleman to a knight.
They can only rely on participating in wars to obtain territories and rewards. If they want to gain appreciation, Lambert, who is known as the God of War, is the primary goal.
But Lambert is not accessible to people like Horn, so he can only start with Su Xi.
Horn in this world is not a particularly hateful scumbag, he just deliberately led the Germans to capture Su Xi, and then volunteered to take the job of looking for Su Xi.
That's all, since I owed this man so much in the last world, let's forgive him this time.
Su Xi answered Horn's question softly: "I want to come out and get some air."
Horn thought for a moment, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corners of his eyes and brows: "If I want to breathe, I may have a better destination."
Su Xi was startled, "Where?"
Horn smiled and said nothing, suddenly hugged Su Xi with one hand, and Su Xi subconsciously grabbed Horn's shoulder with a cry of surprise.
But he heard the man's low laughter ringing in his ears, and he said softly, "Relax, my lord."
Su Xi gave him a sideways glance, but because his body was in the air, he looked a bit stern and inwardly: "What are you going to do?"
Horn smiled, put Su Xituo on the thick tree, and said in a low voice, "Hold it steady."
Suddenly being placed on the tree, Su Xi was like a helpless kitten, tightly grasping the tree trunk with both hands, until Horn also turned over and hugged himself from behind, Su Xi felt relieved.
Su Xi's teeth were trembling, and he tried his best to control the soles of his feet not to slip. Unexpectedly, this was not over yet, Horn held his hand again and said, "My lord, climb up there."
Su Xi shook her head in resistance: "No."
Horn snorted softly, and pressed it against Su Xi's ear, his voice was low and calm for no reason: "Believe me, with me here, you won't hurt your lord."
Su Xi opened his eyes, tremblingly looked at the place Horn said, it turned out to be the roof.
This big tree has stayed in Su Xi's family for a long time, witnessing the departure of generations after generations, and the once small sapling has grown into a towering tree.
Unknowingly, the branches have spread to the roof.
Su Xi couldn't believe it: "You want me to climb the roof?"
Horn hummed: "Otherwise?"
"I'm an aristocrat!" Su Xi became furious, looking at the whole of Rome, not to mention going to the rooftops, the aristocrats even wished to travel in a carriage. There was no one like Horn who took an unusual path.
Although Su Xi complained from the bottom of his heart, seeing Horn's bright eyes, he still pursed his lips and climbed up on a branch.
Su Xi's climbing posture was very awkward, and the robe was a bit heavy for him. After tossing and tossing, Su Xi had just stabilized his figure when he heard the sound of fine footsteps below.
Su Xi was stunned, but before he could react, Horn had already wrapped his arms around his waist and gently hid on the other side of the roof. Fortunately, the night was thick, and the slave didn't expect that a nobleman would sneakily stand on the roof. Whoever called out, the slave immediately quickened his pace.
After realizing that the slave had left, Su Xi pushed Horn away short of breath.
What Su Xi was standing on now was a large flat roof, and a part of the castle that was made into a steeple stood faintly in the surrounding darkness.
This is the highest place in the entire mansion, there was a faint noise coming from the bottom of the feet, but the sound should not be under Su Xi's feet, he guessed it should be a certain room.
"grown ups."
Horn's call suddenly came from behind, and Su Xi turned her head, only to see that downcast knight sitting on the spot swaggeringly.
Horn frowned, patted his side, and nodded to Su Xi to sit down together. ?
