Chapter 422 The First Meeting Between the Leader and the Governor

It's sunset now.

After learning that Su Cheng and his party were about to arrive at Baidi City, Humphrey immediately took a group of important ministers from the north to take a bath, changed into clean clothes, and went five miles away from the south gate of Baidi City to greet them. The new leader of the Knights of Michael.

Humphrey and others were lucky. It didn't snow today, so they didn't need to hold an umbrella.

"Your Majesty the Governor." A middle-aged man standing behind Humphrey whispered in Humphrey's ear, "You can already see the car of the Captain and others."

"Yes." Humphrey nodded slightly, "It seems they arrived earlier than we expected."

The middle-aged man standing behind Humphrey is named Arlin Roberts. He is Humphrey's deputy. He is also a very talented person. He can be regarded as Humphrey's right-hand man. When Lai is not in the North, Yaerlin has full authority to handle the affairs of the North.

The carriage of Su Cheng and others, as well as the cavalry team responsible for protecting Su Cheng and others, slowly advanced, slowly approaching Humphrey and others.

After the carriage team traveled a certain distance away from Humphrey and others, the carriage team stopped.

Then, the door of a carriage in the middle of the carriage team was opened.

A young man with short black hair and another young man with brown hair who was slightly older than the young man with black hair got off the carriage.

Both young men wore knight swords on their waists. The black-haired young man wore a white sword, while the brown-haired young man wore a yellow sword.

In addition to wearing a knight's sword on his waist, the brown-haired young man also held a spear in both hands.

——That is the Spear of Michael, which carries the flag of the Knights of Michael and has been passed down for nearly 300 years.

Although Humphrey has never met Su Cheng and Willie, he has seen their portraits and simple descriptions of their appearance.

So after the two young men got out of the car, Humphrey recognized the black-haired young man as Su Cheng and the brown-haired young man as Willy at a glance.

Su Cheng held the sword at his waist and walked towards Humphrey and others with a smile, looking harmless.

Willy followed closely behind Su Cheng.

From time to time, a few breezes blew, causing the flag on the Michael's Spear that was being held by Willie to unfold in the wind, revealing the large wind pattern in the center of the flag.

Su Cheng walked steadily towards Humphrey, and after a little distance, he bowed and saluted.

"Su Cheng, the leader of the Michael Knights, meets with the Governor of the North!"

Looking at Su Cheng who was the first to salute him so respectfully and shout "Bye" to him, Humphrey couldn't help but look a little surprised.

Su Cheng is the leader of the Michael Knights and the highest person in charge of the Northern Front. In terms of status, Su Cheng is now one of the top military officers of the Britannia Empire. Only Iser, the leader of the Gabriel Knights, is He and Albert, the leader of the Rachel Knights, are on the same level as him. In terms of status, there is no knight in the empire who is higher than Su Cheng.

Humphrey is the Governor of the Northern Territory and is in charge of all affairs in the Northern Territory. In terms of status, Humphrey can be regarded as one of the highest civil servants in the Britannia Empire and the local official with the highest status and real power.

Therefore, in terms of status, Su Cheng and Humphrey are on the same level. From some perspectives, Su Cheng's status is higher than Humphrey. After all, there is no longer a knight in the empire. His status is higher than that of Su Cheng, and above Humphrey, there are several civil servants with higher status than him, such as Jacob.

Su Cheng, who has the same status as Humphrey, does not need to pay such a respectful salute to Humphrey.

Looking at Su Cheng who was so humble, polite and well behaved, Humphrey couldn't help but feel more favorable towards Su Cheng.

Humphrey walked forward, lifted up Su Cheng who was bowing to him, and then said with a smile:

"Young Master, there is no need to pay me such a big courtesy, let alone say 'goodbye' to me. There is no superiority or inferiority between the two of us.

So there is no need to be so formal. "

"Your Majesty the Governor, you are 40 years older than me and are my elders. Respecting our elders is what we juniors should do."

After Humphrey straightened Su Cheng's body, Humphrey began to carefully look at Su Cheng, who was close to him.

Although I have seen Su Cheng's portrait before, and although the painters responsible for painting the portrait are very skilled and can paint Su Cheng's portrait vividly, there are some things that cannot be painted.

For example - eyes and temperament.

As the Governor of the Northern Territory, Humphrey naturally knew a lot of people. From Su Cheng's eyes and temperament, Humphrey could tell that Su Cheng was a young man who was calm and calm when things happened.

He is a very reliable young man.

——Humphrey said secretly in his heart.

At the same time, I began to feel that I made a very right choice by writing Su Cheng's name at the last moment of the roundtable vote.

…

While Humphrey was sizing up Su Cheng, Su Cheng was also sizing up Humphrey.

Although Humphrey is only 58 years old this year, not even 60 years old, his hair is already all gray.

His light blue eyes were full of confidence, his posture was tall and straight, and every part of his body exuded competence.

This is a man who is tempered by a combination of talent and self-confidence.

——Su Cheng silently settled his initial impression of Humphrey in his mind.

After Su Cheng and Humphrey exchanged greetings again, Humphrey invited Su Cheng and Willy into the luxury carriage he had prepared, and sat in the carriage with Su Cheng and Willy. The carriage drove into Baidi City.

Humphrey had already prepared a simple feast for Su Cheng.

…

"Ah, sir and Mr. Willie got on the carriage with the Governor." Deng Jiaer said, pressing his face against the window to better observe the situation outside.

After the carriage convoy stopped, Alan, Deng Jiaer, Hazel, and Dana immediately leaned against the carriage window and observed Su Cheng and Willy who got off the carriage through the transparent window.

After Su Cheng and Willy were invited into Humphrey's luxury carriage that had been prepared, the luxury carriage slowly started to drive towards Baidi City.

After the carriage in which Su Cheng, Willy, and Humphrey were sitting moved, the carriage convoy of Alan and others also started to move again, following closely behind the carriage and entering the city with it. .

At this moment, the attentive Hai Rouer suddenly noticed that Alan, who was sitting next to her, had an unpleasant expression on his face.

"Alan, what's wrong?" Hairou'er asked with concern, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"No." Alan shook his head, "I'm in good health and don't feel uncomfortable anywhere."

After saying that, Alan turned his head and leaned against the car window.

Looking through the transparent window, he cast his gaze on the carriage that was walking in front and where Su Cheng was sitting.

"Since I met my brother, we have always been together no matter what we do. Where there is Alan, there is Su Cheng, and where there is Su Cheng, there is Alan." Alan whispered, "It's just that with my brother, he Now that his status is getting higher and higher, and he has more and more things to do, the scenes of him being inseparable from the past should become less and less..."

"Like now, there should be more and more scenes of sitting in different carriages with him..."

After saying that, Alan forced out a faint smile.

But there was a hint of bitterness in this smile.
