February 25, 291 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

19:38 pm.

Britannia Empire, Northern Territory, Brite Village.

"Your Excellencies! Thank you so much!"

"Your Excellency Knight! Please eat as much as you like! Drink!"

"Your Excellency, Knight! Why don't you see Your Excellency, the Captain? Where did you go, Your Excellency, the Captain?"

…

Looking at the enthusiastic villagers around them, Raymond and Samuel were almost carried away by the enthusiasm of the villagers.

Just now, Raymond and Samuel worked together and successfully killed all the incoming horse thieves.

The battle with these horse thieves was nothing compared to the battles Raymond and Samuel had experienced on the previous battlefield.

The two of them killed all these horse thieves almost effortlessly.

After killing the horse thieves and informing the villagers who had been hiding before the war was safe, the two of them plus Su Cheng received warm hospitality from the villagers.

The villagers decided to hold a thank you banquet to thank them properly.

The two of them were invited to an open space somewhere in the village. There were several large long tables in this open space, and the long tables were filled with drinks and food.

Rather than a thank you banquet for Su Cheng, Raymond, and Samuel, it would be more accurate to call it a celebration banquet to celebrate escaping a disaster.

The villagers ate the food and drank the wine on the long table to their heart's content, and toasted and thanked Raymond and Samuel to their heart's content.

The two of them had heard words of thanks so many times tonight.

I don’t know how many times I have said polite words like “No, no, no,” and “I should, I should,” and the like.

"The leader of our family is so wise." Samuel, who was beginning to show some fatigue on his face, said with emotion, "He may have expected such a situation, so he hid early."

The main purpose of this banquet was to express gratitude to Su Cheng and the others.

But Su Cheng, who was supposed to be the protagonist of this banquet, was nowhere to be seen.

No one knew where Su Cheng had gone at this time, and the villagers searched everywhere but could not find him.

I only learned from his sister Alan that nothing unexpected happened to him, but he just didn't come to the banquet because he still had things to do.

Because of Su Cheng's absence, the villagers' gratitude could only be poured out on Raymond and Samuel.

"To be honest, I'm a little exhausted both physically and mentally..." A look of fatigue appeared on Raymond's face at this time.

Neither of them is good at dealing with this kind of situation.

"I just saw that a villager was planning to introduce his daughter to me..."

"What a coincidence, so am I." Samuel answered, "Just now a villager planned to introduce his daughter to me."

"Why did you introduce your daughter to us for no reason..."

"It's normal. After all, this is a very rare opportunity to marry an imperial knight. Naturally, the villagers don't want to miss it. It's best if they can form a marriage. Even if the marriage fails, there will be no loss. But this is a good opportunity.

, Raymond, are you 35 years old this year? Do you really not consider getting married? I just saw several pretty good-looking girls."

"Don't think about it." Raymond replied without hesitation, "Getting married or something will only take up my time and energy. Instead of worrying about me, you should worry more about yourself, Samuel. You are also 31 years old this year.

Are you ready? You still don’t plan to marry Del?”

"Getting married is too troublesome. Also, Del and I don't have that kind of relationship. Del and I are just a master and a pet."

"Although it's a good thing to be modest, calling yourself a pet is still a bit too much."

"...Do you want to try what it feels like to be hit on the head by a chain?"

Just as Raymond and Samuel were chatting there, they were suddenly interrupted by a young male voice:

"Then, um...please ask Su...no no no! Where is the leader?"

Raymond and Samuel walked out one after another.

The person who spoke was found to be a young man with a face full of fear and panic.

Behind him, there were eight young people who also looked panic-stricken.

Among them, there was even a tall young man whose face was covered with gauze and seemed to have a facial injury.

Although this tall young man's face was wrapped in thick gauze, Samuel and Raymond could still see from his eyes exposed from the gauze that he was extremely panicked at the moment.

"The two of us don't know where our leader is." Samuel smiled bitterly, "If you want to express your gratitude to the leader, the two of us will help you convey it in the future."

"No...we don't want to thank the leader, we want to apologize to the leader..."

"Apologise?" Raymond raised his eyebrows.

"Well... we did something very egregious towards the head of the group before... so we want to apologize to the head of the group and pray for his forgiveness..."

After saying that, the look of panic on the faces of this young man and the other eight young men behind him became even more intense.

"...Although I don't know what outrageous things you did to the group leader, I don't think you actually need to apologize to the group leader."

Samuel smiled at the nine young people: "Although I haven't worked with the leader for a long time, even in such a short time, I noticed that the leader is a man with a sea of ​​talents.

A broad-minded person.”

"He must have no longer cared about the so-called excessive things you did to him, or in other words, he never cared about it from the beginning, so you can just pretend it never happened and go eat, drink and have fun."

"Really……"

"Well, it's true. I promise you."

"Me too. I also promise you." Raymond on the side also echoed with a smile on his face, "The leader is not that kind of narrow-minded person, which is one of the important reasons why I respect him so much.

"

…

…

Just when everyone was happily having a party there,

Carol's home.

In the room of Su Cheng and Alan.

While everyone was happily having a banquet, Su Cheng hid in the room of Su Cheng and Alan, and by the light of the oil lamp, he silently translated the "Zizhi Tongjian" that was almost completed.

However, at this moment, a familiar female voice suddenly came from behind him:

"I found you~"

"Hmm? Carol?"

Su Cheng turned his head and looked in surprise at Carol who appeared at the door of the room and looked at him with a smile on his face.

"How did you know I was here? Did Alan tell you?"

"No, I reasoned it out myself. Where else can you go besides staying at my house? It's very lively outside. Why don't you go out and play together? At least come out to have something to eat."

"I don't have to go out." Su Cheng smiled, "I'm not good at dealing with situations like this, and I still have a lot of things to do, so I don't have time to play."

After saying that, Su Cheng turned his head back and continued the translation work.

Now is a very rare time when he is not busy with military affairs. Su Cheng does not want to waste this precious free time. After returning to Avalon Fortress, the translation work of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" will come to a halt again.

However, just when Su Cheng started writing again, he suddenly felt a warm, soft object pressing up from behind him. Kyler hugged Su Cheng from behind.

"Kylor?"

"Cheng, don't be like this..."

After saying that, Kai Luoer tightly hugged Su Cheng's hands and hugged Su Cheng tighter.

"Kaylor..."

"You scare me so much... When I stay in the fortress, I am so busy that sometimes I don't even have time to go home. The same is true here in my hometown. After all, you are also a human being, even if the captain's responsibilities are very heavy

, don’t squeeze yourself like this..."

Although he couldn't see the expression of Kairol who was behind him, Su Cheng could still roughly guess what Kailuol's expression was now from Kailuol's sad tone.

"It's not just me, Alan, Deng Jiaer, Alyssa, they are all worried about you. You are not a person with extraordinary physical strength. If you squeeze yourself like this, we are really worried that one day you will not be able to hold on...

…”

"...I'm sorry for making you worry..."

"So tonight, let's put down what we are doing and relax for a night, okay? I want to attend the banquet with you, Cheng..."

"...Kaylor, your last sentence, 'I want to attend the banquet with you,' was very lethal." Su Cheng said in a half-joking tone, "After hearing your words, my heart skipped a beat.

It has sped up a lot."

"My heartbeat is also very fast now. After all, I am holding you."

Want to relax for a night...Are you worried that I won't be able to hold on...

Su Cheng smiled helplessly: "Don't worry, Carol, my physical condition is still very good and I won't be unable to hold on, so don't worry about me."
To be continued...
