Because Su Cheng returned to the imperial capital alone this time. Since he came back alone and stayed only for so few days, Su Cheng naturally could not specially clean his dusty home.

For convenience, Su Cheng plans to stay at Iser's house these days, and Iser will not refuse this little thing.

After all, this is not the first time Su Cheng has stayed at their house. Su Cheng has tried to stay at their house for a while during the military parade this spring.

Su Cheng had planned to set out with Ethel when he went out just now.

But Ethel still had some things to deal with, so he asked Su Cheng to go to the banquet alone.

On the way to the year-end dinner, Su Cheng met Albert.

When the year-end dinner was about to begin, Ethel finally showed up.

When Iser appeared, he went straight in the direction of Albert and Su Cheng to catch up with his two old friends and colleagues.

Not long after Iser arrived at the venue of the year-end dinner, the year-end dinner finally began.

It's just - after the year-end dinner, the person who appeared at the door of the venue was not gozevin, Gail or Ilsa.

It's Jacob.

As a rule, the emperor had to bring his royal children to the annual year-end dinner.

Ge zewen is now seriously ill and bedridden, so it's understandable that he can't come to the meeting.

But it's strange that neither Gail nor Ilsa came to the meeting.

Jacob, dressed in exquisite and expensive dresses, appeared at the door of the year-end dinner on time when the pointer of his pocket watch pointed to 19:30.

After arriving at the year-end dinner without expression, Jacob announced loudly to everyone in the meeting:

Your majesty, your highness Gail and your highness Ilsa are unable to come for some reason, but tonight's year-end dinner will continue as usual. I hope everyone can have a good time tonight.

……

……

Su Cheng's reason for returning to the imperial capital to attend this year's year-end dinner is mainly to meet Jacob, whom he has not seen for a long time.

Therefore, after seeing that Jacob finally came to the year-end dinner, Su Cheng temporarily said goodbye to Ethel and Albert, who were having a heated conversation, and took the lead in looking for Jacob to talk about the past.

Su Cheng was lucky. When he came to Jacob, the expressionless Jacob was sipping a glass of fruit wine.

"Mr. Jacob."

"Oh? It's Mr. Cheng. "

After seeing that Su Cheng came to him, Jacob picked his eyebrow, then turned his mouth slightly and showed a faint smile.

"I haven't seen you for more than half a year, Mr. Cheng. Will you come back alone this time? "

"Yes." Su Cheng sighed lightly, "this winter is really too cold. My sister and some of my... Important people are frightened by the cold weather. They plan to stay in Avalon fortress until the weather gets warmer.

"Mr. Humphrey was also overwhelmed by the cold wave this year and had no time to go south to attend this year's year-end dinner, so I came back alone in the north this year."

"Yes, the winter in recent years is not very normal. It is colder and colder year by year, and the time of winter in recent years is earlier than before. I hope next winter will become more normal. "

After that, Jacob took up the wine again and tasted it.

While Jacob tasted the wine in his hand, Su Cheng looked at Jacob quietly.

——What a surprise... Mr. Jacob is not only a gifted politician, but also a master of swordsmanship

"Mr. Cheng, what's the matter? Why are you looking at me like this? "

Jacob, who noticed Su Cheng's eyes, asked Su Cheng suspiciously.

"Nothing. Just sighing - Mr. Jacob, you're really good. "

After that, Su Cheng told Jacob exactly what Albert had just told him about Jacob's past when he was young.

After hearing Su Cheng's words, Jacob smiled a few times:

"Ha ha ha, you already know what happened when I was young?"

"Yes, I did have the nickname 'sword saint' when I was young, but I don't like the title."

"Because I think this title is too exaggerated. It's all nonsense by bards. I know very well that my sword skills are not exquisite enough to be called 'sword saint'."

Then Jacob spread out the palm of his right hand.

After Jacob spread out the palm of his right hand, Su Cheng finally found that Jacob's right hand was the same as Eliza's right hand. The palm was full of calluses left by practicing fencing hard.

Jacob shook the palm of his right hand a few times:

"Before gozewen ascended the throne, that is, the time when the former Emperor reigned, it was the time when the national strength of our britannian empire was at its weakest..."

"At that time, I thought what our country lacked was excellent knights."

"So I practiced swordsmanship hard, collected and studied books that taught people how to fight."

"But when I joined the army, I slowly found that our country does not lack excellent knights."

"We britannians are a warrior nation, and there has never been a lack of excellent knights who can win wars."

"At that time, I finally found that what our empire lacked was excellent civil servants."

"The civil servants are incompetent. How can the Knights be good at war? What's the use?"

"When I finally woke up, I resolutely quit the knight I just got and became a civil servant."

"After so many years of efforts, it has finally paid off. The political situation is no longer so corrupt, and there are more and more outstanding people like bancro and Humphrey. "

Speaking of this, Jacob lowered his eyes slightly, turned up the corner of his left mouth slightly, and his face showed a happy color.

"I don't have many wishes in my life."

"I have worked hard for more than 40 years for one thing: to make the British Empire rich and strong again, and to make the British Empire dominate the mainland as it did 200 years ago."

Speaking of this, Jacob paused.

Then he put on a half joking tone:

"If you want to achieve this goal, you can't do without your help, Mr. Cheng."

"Mr. Cheng, you are also the third leader in the military circles of our empire. In terms of status, the whole empire can't find several people with higher status than you."

"Without the help of a big man like Mr. Cheng, it would be much harder to achieve this goal."

"So - Mr. Cheng, you should help me a lot."

After hearing Jacob's words, Su Cheng was a little stunned.

Then he smiled:

"Mr. Jacob, you have many identities in my eyes."

"You are not only my superior, but also my benefactor. At the same time... You are also a father."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng raised his hand and scratched his hair.

"It may be strange for me to say so, but I have always regarded Mr. Jacob as your father."

"Whether it's from the rational level of subordinates obeying their superiors or from the emotional level of respecting you as a father, I will support and help you, Mr. Jacob."

"Support Mr. Jacob to complete this great cause that makes the britannian Empire rich and strong again!"
