Chapter 1523 The Duke's Birthday ([-])

As a taxi driver, there is no one who does not want to make money. There is quite a long suburban journey from Edinburgh to Stoke Manor, and the rental fee is relatively high. The taxi driver on Li Sansi's car is not a fool Of course, I know that this distance can get more rental fees. However, the nearest road section is not very calm. This road is very windy and sandy, and there will be small particles of gravel hitting the car from time to time. For Edinburgh, who loves cars very much For urban taxi drivers, this is undoubtedly a mental torture. At the same time, along this section of the road, there are currently dedicated passages for the upper classes and nobles in the Eagle Kingdom. Other vehicles are allowed to enter, but there is an endless stream of luxury vehicles here, so many small cars dare not pass here at all.

Eagle country people are very concerned about face, even taxi drivers are no exception, who would like to move forward in a sea surrounded by luxury cars, wouldn't it highlight the backwardness and coldness of their own vehicles?
That's why when he heard that Li Sansi was going to Stoke Manor, the taxi driver showed that kind of demeanor, so that now he was driving, but he still complained in his heart.

The Duke of Stoke's birthday party showed that the Duke of Stoke's family had escaped the stage of the lowest reputation after experiencing the Royal Swordsmanship Competition, making countless various forces that deliberately alienated the Duke of Stoke's family when they were facing bankruptcy, now After the swordsmanship competition, the Duke of Stoke gave the Duke of Humington a solid affirmation, which made the Duke of Humington hide his head and show his tail for a while. The eagle empire has reached its peak again.

Many nobles came to congratulate them one after another, and soon, the ultimate swordsmanship duel among the European nobles, a competition between the Duke of Stoke and the sword god Poseidon is coming. During such a period of time, naturally Countless high-ranking people are competing to curry favor with the best time.

Compared with the disappointment when the Duke of Stoke announced his bankruptcy, Li Sansi only now discovered that this road from Edinburgh to Stoke Manor can be so lively. It used to be a deserted road, but now it is It is a fleet of convoys, and only convoys can be used to describe the magnificence of driving on the road now.

There are usually several cars escorting one car, and there is an endless stream of vehicles of various styles.There was a Jaguar convoy like submarines, five desert king-style vehicles driving in a row, and the entire road was filled with luxury cars, so the taxi that Li Sansi took seemed particularly cold and flimsy at this moment.

Seeing the luxury cars passing by him one after another, the taxi driver almost regretted his bowels. As a native of the Eagle Country who is so proud that he doesn't have to eat for the sake of his face, such a scene is undoubtedly a downright shameful feeling. humiliation and torture.Looking at the back of the luxury car, the taxi driver snorted, and then said, "This road shows the hypocrisy of human nature. Why didn't we see these people when the Duke of Stoke was frustrated? At that time, I Running this road every day, you can’t even see a car, let alone these vehicles that cost hundreds of thousands of eagle pounds, but now, when you look at these cars, it’s like they are vying to lick tigers!”

While being angry, the taxi driver became stubborn after being overtaken by the No.30 eight cars, stepped up the accelerator and started to overtake.

If we asked Li Sansi about his impression of Stoke Manor half a month ago, Li Sansi could sum it up in one word, "Lonely field, lonely manor." It can highlight the tranquility and loneliness of Stoke Manor back then. , without visitors, it will definitely not be so lively.

However, when Li Sansi saw the Stoke Manor now, he almost couldn't believe his eyes. Is this the backyard of the palace or the Stoke Manor in his impression? All this is too unimaginable. The flat area, all densely packed with vehicles, is like a large open-air parking lot. All kinds of people in fancy dresses and tuxedos are walking from Central Heating Avenue to Stoke like going to the theater. The gate of the manor.

The gate is even more majestic. A group of muscular and bulging men in black suits are distributed at the gate. Everyone who enters the banquet will hold a set of bronzing invitation letters on their chest pockets and hands, and these black suits The man in the suit stood at the door, and everyone's eyes were extremely sharp. Judging from the aura everyone displayed, one could tell that the other party was not an ordinary person.

And these are the faces of strangers, even Li Sansi didn't know when the Duke of Stoke invited these security guards here.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you here. There are too many cars here. If you don't go fast, I'm afraid I will be blocked. Wait, wait. No, no, no." The taxi just arrived at the door, and then There was an endless stream of vehicles, blocking him behind him, sandwiching him in the middle, unable to move.

The taxi driver opened the door and saw the cars coming from behind like an ocean, and punched the roof of the car, "My God, tell me, how do I get out of here."

Seeing the taxi driver's expression, Li Sansi still felt a little apologetic, "Otherwise, you can go in with me."

"You!?" The taxi driver looked at Li Sansi, who was dressed out of place with the surroundings, with a disbelieving expression, "Do you have an invitation letter, are you qualified to go in? Oh, God, tell me why I am so unlucky today .”

Li Sansi didn't speak, and looked around. There were a few children from aristocratic families in fine clothes, with a domineering demeanor, which made people know that they were upstarts. Discussing, "I heard that the Duke's daughter is a peerless beauty, even the current Prince Amode is chasing after her, tsk tsk, I'm excited to see her face."

"Why are you so excited? I've met the Duke's daughter, Su Lun. She gave me a look during the swordsmanship competition. I can tell you with certainty that we fell in love at first sight! Even the crane can't pull the fate away! !"

Among the aristocratic class of the Eagle Empire, Li Sansi has seen many young masters like this. Because of their superior family background, most of them do not have too many worries, so showing off their families has become a necessary means for them, Li Sansi Swiping past these noble children, two invitation letters appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he came to the taxi driver and placed the two stolen invitation letters, "Let's go."

After passing the inspection, the taxi driver was still in a state of shock, "Where did you get the invitation letter, two at a time, you are not some humble aristocrat."

"I told you I'm the Duke's guest." Li Sansi smiled and continued walking forward.

The taxi driver stared blankly at the gorgeous decorations around him for a long time, and then hurriedly caught up with Li Sansi, "You didn't lie to me, did you, there were a lot of buffet food designed by chefs at the banquet, and it didn't cost money. "

"Enough!" Li Sansi waved his hand, no matter how he dressed or how he acted, he was in stark contrast with the courteous nobles around him, causing many people to frown.

At the gate at this moment, a man in black whispered to the man who seemed to be the security captain, "The person who stole the invitation letter went in, what do you think, captain?"

The man with a grim face and short hair showed a fierce look in his eyes, and smiled coldly and sinisterly at the corner of his mouth, "Let him in, he wants to die by himself, no one else is to blame."
