Chapter 83: Roasted Celery, a Famous Dish

“What? You said the Empire sent a major general to inspect the border corps?”

Lieutenant General McHowell, a high-ranking official of the Border Corps, is also a marquis of the Empire.

As a great noble who was transferred to the border corps ten years ago.

At first, McHowell thought it was a chore.

However, as the Spirit Hall grew stronger, the two empires entered a period of peace.

In the past ten years, McHowell can be said to have lived a more comfortable life than when he first lived in Tiandou City.

As a great noble of the empire, he was different from those high-ranking generals who rose from the common people. He did not treat the soldiers below as human beings.

It would be considered a great mercy on his part if he did not take 90% of the monthly military pay.

So, when he heard that the empire had sent a major general, who was a general close to the civilian faction.

McHowell panicked.
And I heard that recently, a prince’s wife from Xingluo died on the border of the Tiandou Empire.

The empire sent such a high-ranking general at this time.
It probably means to reorganize the border troops.

As the biggest borer in the army right now (McHowell is still self-aware of this)
In order to avoid being used as a target for the imperial major general to establish his authority.

McHowell decided to treat the other party with a famous dish. Have you ever heard of “burnt celery”, one of the world’s famous dishes?

Well, of course, this method does not need to be used when the situation is not the most critical.

The first thing McHowell thought of, and the one he thought was most feasible, was the “honey trap”.

……

at the same time,

As Bai Ran made his initial inspection of the military camp,

The empire’s youngest general was extremely disappointed with the empire’s army.

How should I put it? It feels like recruiting some young men from the village, giving them equipment and weapons, without any training.

If they only need to be given a certain amount of military pay in advance, their combat effectiveness will be much stronger than that of the current group of soldiers.

There is no daily training, and officer instruction is rarely seen, let alone physical training. I guess after running a few kilometers, I would start to feel tired and sit down.

The topics on his lips were either about drinking or which club in Liaocheng had prettier girls.

Bai Ran: It’s terrible, it’s too terrible, and you still want to cheat and get the Title Douluo title? I feel that even a Soul Douluo may not be able to defeat a million bear soldiers like this.

“Take me to the general’s tent. I want to ask him how he governs this army.”

After sighing for a long time, Bai Ran said to Karen who was leading the way.

“Okay sir.”

Karen took Bai Ran to Lieutenant General McHowell’s residence.

……

ten minutes later

Looking at this noble manor located in the small town, which occupies almost half of the city,

Bai Ran clenched his fists.

Bai Ran: Noble lords like these who only know how to suck blood should all be hanged on street lamps.

Among the manors
Facing the major general sent by the Imperial Army,
Although his military rank was higher than that of the other party, McHowell still came out in person to warmly greet him.

After all, he was from the imperial army and had a great background.
McHowell’s rank of lieutenant general was simply because he had a soul power level of over level 70 and the noble title of Marquis.

At that time, many nobles felt that the conditions at the border were bad and were unwilling to come.

McHowell got lucky.

“You must be Major General Bai Ran sent by the Empire. Nice to meet you.”

As the saying goes, don’t hit a smiling person. Bai Ran temporarily resisted the urge to confront the other party.

Bai Ran: I’m not sure which faction this person belongs to. If he is Uncle Feng’s old comrade, it would be awkward to take action. Low probability does not mean no probability. It will be over in seconds without waiting for the formula.

……

After entering the manor
As an old noble in Tiandou City, McHowell naturally has a hobby of drinking tea.

There is still a long time before the dinner officially starts.

“My friend, I recently got a batch of royal tribute tea. I don’t know if it’s authentic. You came from Tiandou City, so you must have drunk a lot. How about helping me taste it?”

In order to get closer to each other, the name was changed to “little friend”.

But it was obvious that Bai Ran wasn’t buying it.

“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 piggy milk tea.

All I can say is that tea is something that the upper-class aristocrats may have invented because they lived too comfortably and had nothing to do, so they had to tinker with it to show off their status and taste.

“It’s okay. In addition to tea, I also have local specialty fruit drinks. You should try them.”

McHowell said this, clapped his hands, and signaled the maid to bring the food up.

……

A girl dressed as a schoolgirl came up with tea sets in hand.

However, when passing by Bai Ran,
For some reason, the student girl suddenly fell down.

All the tea sets fell to the ground.
The splashing tea slightly wet Bai Ran’s trouser legs.

“You useless bastard! This is my master’s favorite tea set, and you actually broke it. How unreasonable! Come, give it to me…”

After seeing the girl knock over the tea set,
McHowell first lost his temper, then stretched out his hand and was about to slap the maid in the face.

Just when he was about to fight,
McHowell couldn’t help but glance at Bai Ran.

However, he found that the young man just sat there with no sign of wanting to get involved.

Mike Howell: Hey, why is it different from the script I had in mind? It’s not about this kind of impulsive young man who likes things like being a hero saving a damsel in distress. Why doesn’t he do anything?

In response to this, Bai Ran said: I have been backstabbed once, and after seeing the ability of Jimei’s lover, I have understood one thing – let go of the desire to help others and respect other people’s destiny.

“Master, I was wrong, don’t chase Huahua away.

Huahua has a sick mother and a younger brother who is in school, so she can’t afford to lose this job.”

It must be said that this maid is also a talented actress.
Seeing that there was a problem with the script, she quickly added more scenes for herself, trying to create an image of a miserable heroine so that the young general would feel sympathy for her.

“Go and apologize to my friend Bai Ran.

Look at how clumsy you are, you even wet the trouser legs of my friend.

Go wipe him, oh no, lick him clean.”

To be honest, the tea splashed on Bai Ran’s trouser legs would probably dry up after a while.

“No need.”

I saw that the maid was actually lying on the ground like a dog, and she was trying to lick the tea stains on Bai Ran’s trouser legs with her young tongue.

Bai Ran couldn’t help but feel nauseous.

“Then the flowers have to be cleaned for the guests, too.”

Perhaps he sensed the guest’s “shyness” and could not accept the perverted pleasures of such a noble gentleman.

The maid Huahua took out a clean handkerchief with a girl’s fragrance, put it on Bai Ran’s pants, and slowly wiped it.
