Chapter 83: Burnt celery, a "famous dish"
"What, you said the empire sent a major general to inspect the situation of the border corps?"
The top leader of the Border Corps - Lieutenant General McHowell, is also a marquis of the empire.
As a nobleman who was transferred to the Border Legion ten years ago.
At first, McHowell thought it was a chore,
But as Wuhun Palace grew stronger, the two empires entered a period of peace,
In the past ten years, it can be said that McHowell has lived a more prosperous life than when he originally lived in Tiandou City.
As a great nobleman of the empire, he is different from those senior generals who have risen from the ranks of the common people. He does not treat the soldiers below as human beings.
If he didn't take 90% of his monthly military pay, it would be considered a great mercy on his part.
Therefore, after hearing that the empire had sent a major general, he was a general who was close to the civilian faction.
McHowell panicked,
Moreover, I heard that a prince and concubine from Xingluo died recently, and she died at the border of Tiandou Empire.
The empire sent such a senior general here at this time,
There is probably an intention to rectify the border army.
As the biggest borer in the army currently. (McHowell still has this self-awareness)
In order not to be regarded as an object of authority by this imperial major general.
McHowell decided to entertain the other party with a famous dish. Have you ever heard of one of the world's famous dishes, "Fire-roasted celery"
Well, of course, this method does not need to be used when the situation is not at its most critical,
McHowell first thought of it and felt that the most feasible one was the "honey trap"
……
At the same time,
With Bai Ran's preliminary inspection of the internal situation in the military camp,
The youngest general in the empire has become extremely disappointed with the empire's army.
How can I put it this way? I feel that if I go to the village to recruit some young adults and give them equipment and weapons, I don’t need much training.
As long as a certain amount of military pay is given in advance, the combat effectiveness is estimated to be much stronger than the current group of soldiers.
There is no daily training, and there is almost no training from officers, let alone physical training. It is estimated that after running for several kilometers, I will complain of tiredness and sit down as soon as I start running.
The things on the lips are either drinking or talking about which club in the city has more beautiful girls.
Bai Ran: It sucks, it sucks. You still want to touch a Titled Douluo? It feels like there are millions of bear soldiers like this, and even one Contra may not be able to defeat them.
"Take me to the commander's tent. I want to ask him how he manages this army."
After Bai Ran sighed for a long time, he said to Karen who was leading the way.
"Okay, my lord."
Karen took Bai Ran to Lieutenant General McHowell's residence.
……
Ten minutes later
Looking at this noble manor located in a small city and occupying almost half of the city,
Bai Ran clenched his fists.
Bai Ran: A noble man like this who only knows how to suck blood should hang them all from the street lamps.
Among the manor
Facing the major general dispatched by the Imperial Military Department,
Although his military rank was higher than that of the other party, McHowell came out to greet him warmly.
After all, one comes from the imperial army and has a big background behind him,
And McHowell's lieutenant general rank is simply because he has a soul power level of more than 70 levels and the noble title of marquis.
And at that time, many noble men felt that the border conditions were poor and were unwilling to come.
McHowell made a mistake.
"You must be Major General Bai Ran sent by the empire. Nice to meet you."
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Bai Ran temporarily resisted the urge to break up with the other person and directly attack him.
Bai Ran: I'm not sure which faction this person belongs to. If he were Uncle Feng's old comrade-in-arms, it would be embarrassing to take action. Low probability does not mean there is no probability, and the formula does not wait for seconds.
……
After entering the manor
As a veteran nobleman in Tiandou City, McHowell naturally has a hobby of drinking tea.
It's still quite some time before the dinner party officially starts.
"Little friend, I recently got a batch of royal tribute tea. I don't know if it is authentic or not. You come from Tiandou City, so you must have drunk a lot. Would you like to help me taste it?"
In order to shorten the distance, the title was also changed to Xiaoyou.
But obviously, Bai Ran doesn't accept this trick.
"Lieutenant General Howell, I don't like tea."
As mentioned before, Bai Ran doesn’t like drinking tea,
I think that thing is not as good as pig milk tea.
I can only say that tea was probably invented by the upper class aristocrats who lived too comfortably and had nothing to do to show off their status and taste.
"It doesn't matter. In addition to tea, I also have local specialty fruit drinks. You should try them."
McHowell said, clapped his hands and motioned for the maid to bring the things up.
……
A girl dressed as a schoolgirl came up with a tea set,
However, when passing by Bai Ran,
For some reason, this student girl suddenly fell down.
All the tea sets fell to the ground,
The splash of tea slightly wet Bai Ran's trouser legs.
"You loser, this is my master's favorite tea set, and you broke it to me. How unreasonable. Come on, give it to me..."
After seeing the girl knocking over the tea set,
McHowell lost his temper at first, and then stretched out his hand to give the maid a round slap.
Just when the fight is about to continue,
McHowell glanced at Bai Ran involuntarily.
But they found that the young man was sitting in his seat, showing no signs of wanting to get involved.
McHowell: Hey, why is it different from the script I thought of? It’s not that this impulsive young man likes things like heroes saving beauties the most. Why doesn’t he do anything?
In this regard, Bai Ran said: I have been stabbed in the back once, and after seeing Jimei's lover's ability, I have understood a truth - let go of the plot to help others and respect her destiny.
"Master, I was wrong, don't chase the flowers away.
Huahua also has a sick mother and a younger brother who is in school. Huahua cannot live without this job. ”
Needless to say, this maid is also a capable actor,
Seeing that there was a problem with the script, she quickly added scenes for herself, trying to create a miserable image of the heroine, so that the young general would sympathize with her.
"Go and apologize to my little friend Bai Ran.
Look at how careless you are, you actually got my little friend's pants and trousers wet.
Go and wipe him, oh no, lick him clean. ”
To be honest, with the little tea splashed on Bai Ran's trouser legs, I felt like I would be dry after a while.
"No need."
Seeing this maid actually lying on the ground like a dog, she wanted to stick out the girl's tongue and lick the tea stains off Bai Ran's trouser legs.
Bai Ran felt nauseated involuntarily.
"Then Huahua also has to wipe it clean for the guests."
Maybe he noticed that this guest was "shy" and could not accept the perverted fun of such a noble man.
The maid Huahua took out a clean handkerchief with a girly fragrance, put it on Bai Ran's pants, and slowly wiped it.
