Harry's affairs seem to have been taken care of, and he began to appear again frequently, feasting and inviting local magnates and wealthy gentry from the sandbank.
Most of the wealthy gentry on the sandbank were busy shopping for the goods they needed, the last time they came because of the birthday banquet in Argus, now it is only Harry's personal small banquet, and there are not many attendees.
In this way, Xia Xun became a frequent guest at the banquet, and Yingzhan would occasionally come.
Although Yingzhan is now on the side of the Ming Dynasty, as the head of a big family, he will not take the road to death, he is trying to maintain a relationship with Harry, if the Ming Dynasty is really defeated and invaded by the Timurid Empire in the Central Plains, then his family will have a good way out.
Men usually bring female companions with them when they have formal banquets, but it is inconvenient for female companions to accompany them when they are familiar with them when they drink and have fun.
These people are all wealthy gentry and magnates, and there is no shortage of women around them, and the purpose of supporting female companions is not to taste new things and steal fish, but when men drink and have fun, joke and talk, it is always a little inconvenient to have their own women by their side.
And the women obviously don't like to be around them all the time to be gentle and elegant to play ladies, as decorations, they can not be around, they are also very happy, Omie will go to a quiet hut with Celine and Jeanne, drink and chat alone, and also teach Celine and Jeanne to play cards.
Omi was originally just an ordinary private woman, with a hearty and approachable surname, and the three of them got along very well.
That evening, after another game of cards between Celine, Jeanne and Omi, and Mr.
Argus's wife, Celine yawned and said lazily to Omi and Mrs.
Argus: "Mrs.
Argus, Omi, let's finish early tonight, I am a little tired, I want to go back to the shower and rest early." ” Ommy won tonight, she raised her charming thin eyebrows, proudly fiddled with the stack of gold coins in front of her, picked them up, and fell down one by one, making a clanging sound, and said with a smile: "Okay, then let's play the last game" Mrs.
Argus is a big loser tonight, and her interest is not very good, she glanced at the coquettish-looking Celine, and said slightly jealously: "It seems that Mr.
Xia Xun is very strong, and our Celine seems to be unable to wake up every day." ” Omi covered her mouth, but a pair of crescent-shaped eyes betrayed her, and Jeanne laughed as she spoke.
Celine's pretty face was slightly hot, and she retorted unconvinced: "Mr.
Argus is tall and mighty, and he should be very good." ” Mrs.
Argus could not help but be secretly sad when she heard this.
Her husband, Argus, was very well maintained, tall and mighty indeed, not only outside, but also in bed, but the problem was that he was so merry and socially too great that Mrs.
Argus either came back after he was asleep, or waited to help him back to his room when he was drunk.
When he was sober, he had already used his strength on other women, and Mrs.
Argus rarely made love to her husband once in half a year.
But in front of other women, how could she admit that she was not favored by her husband, so she had to make a shy appearance.
Omi listened to it funny, but she couldn't help but interject and joke, but the object of her teasing was Jeanne, several women teasing each other's men, laughing together.
Who said that only men will discuss different surnames when they are together, and after women are acquainted, they will also talk about men and surnames.
The last game ended in the laughter of the four women, and Mrs.
Argus stood up, put on her coat, and called the maid to ask for a question, and when she learned that Argus was still talking and chatting with Harry, Xia Xun and others, she suggested that the four go back first.
The four of them don't live next to each other, but this is an Argus-run hotel, and there is nothing to worry about since Soyalha moved in, so the outside is more heavily guarded.
The four parted at a fork in the road, said goodnight to each other, and then went to their respective residences.
Omi walked along the gravel path in front of the flowerbed to her room, and when she saw the lantern under the colonnade, she unconsciously quickened her pace.
Suddenly, she only felt that her eyes were dark, and everything she saw seemed to be covered with a black veil, and it became even darker, and Omi stopped a little strangely, she had only drunk two glasses of wine tonight, and it was impossible for her to be so drunk that her vision was blurred, this was when she had just had some doubts, and she felt as if there was a cool wind blowing over her body, and then, she heard an empty and thick voice faintly coming from the darkness: "Is King Harry still worried?"
Harry returned to his bedroom and found that Ommy had not been greeted in time as usual, but when he looked again, he saw her sitting on the bed with her clothes on her waist, and she was in a trance, and she didn't even notice him coming in.
Harry hurriedly walked over to sit down beside her, and gently shook her hand.
"Ahh It wasn't until Harry took her hand that Ommy screamed and woke up.
Harry quickly apologized: "Oh sorry, dear, I didn't mean to scare you, what's wrong with you" "I'm oh, nothing, probably a little tired" Omi stopped talking, making an excuse for herself.
Harry looked at Omi's expression, a little disbelieving, but he didn't ask, just leaned over, kissed her lightly on the lips, and said softly, "Then let's rest early." ” When Xia Xun returned to the room, Tang Sai'er was in his room, a little girl, sitting at the table in a regular manner, holding a charcoal pencil, scribbling on paper, like a primary school student painting.
Seeing Xia Xun come in, Tang Sai'er jumped down from the stool as soon as his waist was straightened, holding a paper in one hand and a pen in the other, and ran to Xia Xun's side happily, shaking his head and tail: "Godfather, people listen to you, the matter is done." ” Xia Xun bent down and picked her up, and asked with a smile: "Didn't scare people?"
Tang Sai'er said proudly: "Of course not, hehe, she looked so funny at the time, excited and scared, as if she wanted to kneel."
I was afraid that someone passing by would see her and find something wrong, so I told her to stand and listen. ” Xia Xun nodded, and said, "I didn't tell her to hear anything wrong in my voice."
Tang Sai'er said: "No, Uncle Chen knows how to do ventriloquism, and I used some magic to make her a little trance-like, it sounds hazy, even if the foreign words are not very accurate, she can't hear it." ” Xia Xun was overjoyed, kissed her the cheek, and praised: "Good girl, you have done my godfather a great favor."
Sai'er was kissed by him, her face turned red, and she twisted her body and slipped to the ground with some embarrassment, held up the piece of paper and said, "Godfather, I still need something, and I still need to create such a thing." ” Xia Xun took the paper and looked at it, but it was a few props that were painted, although the painting was not very good-looking, but the appearance or something was still written very clearly, Xia Xun asked: "Well, I am looking for someone to build this thing, what else do you need?"
Tang Sai'er said: "You also need white phosphorus, gallnut, honey locust, cinnabar, mandala, pig bubbles, palm-sized small bronze mirrors, and magnets."
Xia Xun didn't expect that she needed so many things, he didn't know what many things were for, and some of them had never even heard of their names, so he was busy asking her for charcoal, and he lay on the table to record the things she wanted one by one.
Xia Xun was secretly surprised: "It turns out that magic is such a complicated science, it's really not easy."
Harry made up his mind that if he didn't wait for the arrival of the three-way army, then even if the Khan gave an order, he would delay it as much as possible to avoid fighting alone, so it was impossible for him to purge the army now and enter a state of combat readiness in advance.
Otherwise, everything is ready, and the Khan gives another order, but you delay it, isn't this giving someone a handle?

Therefore, he stayed in the city and did not return, deliberately leaving the army he brought behind and slacking off, of course, during this period he was not inactive, in fact he did many things, these things were mainly intelligence gathering, and the fight and rebellion of the Shazhou magnates.
In this way, once an attack was launched against the Ming Dynasty, and with him as the main force of the attack, he could avoid the loss of the army as much as possible, and at the same time, he could win the victory and seek the benefits of the war as much as possible without irritating the prince's officials.
Therefore, he did not always hunt, drink, and have fun, but always found time to do something that was not suitable for public in the company of Soyaerha and Argus, and of course, nominally, he still went out with Soyaerha as a cousin.
On this day, when Harry and Soyahar came back from outside, and when they returned to their dormitory, Omi had just finished praying, and when she saw Harry, she hurriedly stood up, wrung her fingers tightly, and said to Harry with some anxiety and confusion: "Dear Harry, I have something I want to tell you" Harry smiled and shook her hand: "Honey, I have noticed something wrong with you in the past two days, but I didn't ask questions, I am sure that you will tell me your confusion."
What's going on."
"Me, I" Omi wrung her fingers and said nervously: "I even thought it was a hallucination at first, but I didn't go crazy, Harry, what I was going to say was true, I" Harry hurriedly comforted, "Don't be nervous, Omi, just tell me what you want to say." ” Omi's expression was about to cry, she looked at Harry and said nervously: "Harry, I seem, I heard something, it's so bad, I can't prove it to you" Harry said: "My dear, if there is one person in this world who defends me wholeheartedly, it is you, and I believe in you unreservedly.
Don't worry, my darling, tell me what you want to say."
Omi mustered up the courage and said, "Harry, I heard something unusual, and I received some kind of revelation" To be continued:
