Chapter 392 Humphrey: I Don’t Support Su Cheng! (Down)

"Speaking of which, Alyssa, do you really not want to take off that scarf on your face?"

"I don't want it! It's okay if you recognize me, I don't want anyone else to recognize me again!"

Su Cheng and Alyssa were walking side by side on a certain avenue in Pendragon.

The two of them, who had just finished eating the ice cream and were planning to wander around Pendragon, started walking side by side in Pendragon.

The reason why the two of them went together was because Alyssa asked Su Cheng to accompany her, as compensation for Su Cheng calling her a fool just now.

The reason why Alyssa asked Su Cheng to accompany her was also very simple: to avoid being caught by the patrol like before.

"This year's summer is extremely long. Today is already late October and it's still very hot. Alyssa, I feel very hot just looking at you like this..."

"Do you think I want to? I'm most afraid of heat!" Alyssa said angrily, "I also want to take off the scarf on my face! But the scarf just can't be taken off!"

"If I don't wear this scarf, I will probably be recognized by people I know, and wearing this scarf to cover my face can reduce my shame."

"Actually, you don't need to be ashamed of wearing this dress." Su Cheng said helplessly, "I think you look particularly good in this dress."

"Don't flatter me. I know my own situation best. It's weird to wear such a skirt with a figure like this. If I don't cover my face, it would be too shameful. I won't go out on the street...ah! There’s a wild cat! Come here~come here~meow~meow~”

Not far from the two of them, a black-haired wild cat appeared.

Alyssa tried to imitate the cat's voice while waving at the wild cat, trying to "seduce" the wild cat over.

However, Alyssa didn't seem to have any "cat affinity". After the wild cat licked the hair on its paws, it jumped and disappeared without even looking at Alyssa.

"puff……"

"Hey, I heard you! You just laughed, right? Is the way I teased the cat funny?" Alyssa curled her lips in displeasure.

"I didn't laugh at the way you teased the cat just now." Su Cheng smiled, "I just suddenly felt that Alyssa, you are obviously 2 years older than me, but unexpectedly you look like a little girl."

"Hmph, you are obviously younger than me, but you talk as if you are my senior." After Alyssa gently tapped Su Cheng on the head, she turned around and continued walking forward.

"Let's go."

Looking at Alyssa's back, a look of helplessness flashed across Su Cheng's face, and then he quickened his pace and followed closely beside Alyssa.

…

noon.

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Baiyang Palace, restaurant.

It is now lunch time, and all the participants of the round table meeting are gathering in the restaurant that has been prepared in the Baiyang Palace to eat.

Roundtable meetings generally last for several days, and each day is held from morning to evening, so there is naturally a place prepared for participants to have meals and a place for participants to take a lunch break.

The restaurant prepared for the participants is very large and can accommodate hundreds of people.

Moreover, the dining method is the same as that of a round table dinner. There are several long tables placed in the middle of the restaurant. Food and drinks are placed on the long tables, allowing participants to move around freely and get their favorite food and drinks.

The people participating in the round table meeting were either territorial nobles from various places or important officials from the local and central government, so the food provided in the restaurant was naturally not ordinary meals.

Although the food is definitely not as luxurious and delicious as the food at the year-end dinner, it is definitely a delicacy that 99% of people in the world have no chance to taste.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

The participants gathered in twos and threes, taking their favorite food and eating lunch together with their acquaintances.

"What's wrong? Humphrey?" Jacob smiled while holding his plate and slowly walked to Humphrey who was standing at a long table. "Why are you here in a daze?" New 81 Chinese Mobile version with the fastest network update: https:/

"...No, I just saw a few hometown dishes and suddenly felt a little emotional."

After that, Humphrey nodded at the dishes placed on the long table in front of him: "These are dishes from the South, from my hometown."

"Speaking of which, Humphrey, your hometown is Hank County in the south."

"Well, that's right. It's been a long time since I had a good visit to my hometown... It seems that since I became the Governor of the North, I've basically never had a good visit to my hometown in the south."

"Sometimes I really want to go back and see my hometown, which I haven't returned to for a long time, but that part of the north is just a quagmire... As the governor of the north, I simply can't afford to leave the many affairs in the north and return. Hometown... When I come to the imperial capital to participate in the round table meeting, the affairs in the north that need to be handled personally by me should be said to be constantly accumulating. Hahaha... I really don’t know how many of these affairs will be after I go back. To what extent."

After saying that, Humphrey picked up his fork and took the food from his hometown in front of him.

"...Humphrey, would you be interested in having lunch together?"

"……my pleasure."

Jacob and Humphrey found an empty table side by side.

There are many dining chairs placed in this restaurant for participants to dine.

"What's wrong? Humphrey?" Jacob said while passing a cup of black tea to Humphrey, "How come I haven't heard you speak in these two days of meetings?"

After the expressionless Humphrey took the black tea from Jacob's hand, he said in a flat tone that was almost without any emotion: "Because there is nothing to say, I am too lazy to speak. .”

Jacob said with a somewhat disappointed tone:

"Humphrey...do you support Mr. Cheng becoming the new head of the Michael Knights?"

"...I don't support it." After Humphrey was silent for a while, he said solemnly, "I don't support Su Cheng."

Speaking of this, Humphrey paused for a while, and then continued in a deep voice:

"The man just now is right. Jacob, your intuition and vision are not always so accurate. While you have looked at many people, including me, haven't you also looked at many people wrongly?"

"Su Cheng is indeed very capable, but in addition to ability, the leader of the Knights also needs very rich experience and qualifications."

"The new head of the Michael Knights and the new top leader of the Northern Front cannot be taken lightly, so instead of betting that your vision is right, I would rather choose the other two. If a veteran becomes the new leader of the Knights of Michael, he will at least be more stable and safer."

Just as the central minister said in the morning meeting when he refuted Jacob, although Jacob was famous for being good at judging people and meritorious, Jacob's vision was not very good. There are also many people who make mistakes.

"Hehehe..." Jacob chuckled a few times, "Can't you help me because of the friendship between you and me? 10 years ago, I helped you become what you are now. Governor of the North."

"Don't do this with me." Humphrey said angrily, "In the face of such a national event, we will not talk about personal relationships. I will not turn on you just because you are my friend and benefactor."

Speaking of this, Humphrey seemed to have remembered something. He changed the topic and asked Jacob in a low tone:

"Jacob...have you told Su Cheng about your recommendation of him to be the new head of the Michael Knights?"

"...I said it." Jacob's expression suddenly became complicated. "The day before yesterday, on the morning of October 19th, I summoned him to my mansion and explained to him."

"...What was his...reaction?"

"..." Jacob was silent.

A somewhat melancholy smile gradually appeared on his face.
