Chapter 540: That night

In the empire, if you ask anyone, which place is the most heavily guarded. Ten people will give the same answer-Marshal Mansion.
There have been homicides in the imperial palace, and the two political parties have faced each other for many years. Only the military, the Marshal’s Mansion, has never been disturbed.
Gu Li personally went to the Marshal's Mansion. In view of the current victory of the Empire over Duolin Country, naturally everyone believed that he was looking for the Marshal.
Who ever thought that as soon as he entered the Marshal's Mansion, he jumped into the air and was told that neither the Marshal nor Leng Yiyao were in the mansion.
Faced with this situation, Gu Li just froze for a while, then nodded and smiled. The half-white hair is particularly eye-catching under the light. He has a good temper and smiled with the guard who led the way: "If this is the case, let's talk about it when you see the marshal at the celebration dinner tomorrow." Turning around, he left without hesitation.
The Guard Officer squinted his eyes, remembering that Frey had told him before that if he met this person in power, he must be courteous anyway. In this weather, older people are coming and going outdoors, afraid that the body can't bear it? It seemed to vaguely see some sweat stains on his forehead. The officer of the guard bowed and said, "Why don't you have a cup of tea first and take a break." People came, and they didn't even have to drink a glass of water, and they passed it out. I was afraid that they would say that the military has no one with merit.
Gu Li turned his head, looked at him, and slowly wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I am getting older, but it will cause you trouble."
The guard officer politely said that there was no trouble, while leading him to the direction of the meeting room.
Hospitality is a matter of knowledge, and if the owner is not there, it is naturally accompanied by the person with the highest status in the house. There are three guards around Hemo: One is Evans. Now dealing with the defeat of Duolin Country, he is too busy to deal with the matter of his forehead. The second is Chen Fenghe, the commander of the Northern Region. Unfortunately, I don't know if they think too much. Since the empress frequently enters and exits the Marshal's Mansion, this adult has become more and more low-key and no one is seen. The last one, naturally Frey, went out with the marshal today.
After all, the most suitable for hospitality is Zhai Mu, the newly promoted guard officer.
Although not often following the marshal, but being able to be sent by the marshal next to the queen to go to the battlefield together, the weight of this person, the colleagues in the marshal's mansion have long been in agreement.
So, not long after Gu Li just sat down, someone went to inform Zhai Mu.
The tea served was the best tea. While making tea, Zhai Mu faintly watched the tea leaves hovering in the cup, as if it were the fate of a person, it was already destined.
Gu Li originally found out the whereabouts of Hemo and Leng Yiyao, and deliberately came to him before the celebration banquet. He didn't expect to see people and no outsiders were present. He seemed to be in a state of concentration, ignorant. Up.
The frowned brows were suppressed to himself, and he remained silent, just looking at Zhai Mu indifferently.
For a long time, seeing him seem to have a little soul out of his body, he couldn't help but fall on his face...
The facial features became deeper and the jaw stiffened, and he met again after years of absence. He has grown into such a steady state, and the irritability in his heart suddenly disappeared.
So, holding up a cup of tea in his own hands, Gu Li took the lead to speak: "You have been so stubborn after so many years."
Since it is the living room, other guard officers will naturally not stand here, adding pressure to the guests for nothing. Indoors, only the two of them, who had been pressed in their hearts for so many years, had the opportunity to say those words at this moment.
Zhai Muangran raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, but he didn't refute, he just held up another cup in front of him, and sighed silently in the scent of tea, "You once said that the thing that resembles you the most is this temper."
How can you not imagine that you are connected by blood and come from the same line?
Zhai Mu recalled all kinds of things when he was a child... At that time, his father was just an ordinary politician. Over the past few years, the two parties have been in a stalemate, fighting for power. It really cost too much to break a path and become the leader of the ruling party. It's a pity that many years ago, I had left the imperial capital to stay incognito and concentrate on my own affairs. In these years, how my father climbed all the way up, to him, he just listened to the report in his ear and didn't feel the same.
After hearing this, Gu Li remained silent for a long time, and finally asked the true purpose of today: "Then, after so many years, are you still sticking to your original plan?" When every word came out, Gu Lidu It was calm, only the last word fell, and his fingertips couldn't help shaking.
As his youngest son, Zhai Mu grew up with outstanding aptitude and outstanding ability. However, he was born with resistance to politics and seemed to never choose this path. When he was fifteen years old, he suddenly knelt in front of him, saying that he was unwilling to follow the same old path as him, wasting time and living in vain in political collusion and struggle. At that time, he only thought that this kid was used to living a high life, he was born rebellious, and he was simply confined to confinement. Who would have thought that he would have disappeared without a trace. When we met again, he was already twenty years old.
Standing in front of him with a straight face and a calm expression, his eyes were a strategist that controlled everything at this time in his hands.
At that moment, he realized that he might have been wrong about this arrogant son.
However, what he thinks and thinks is really different from ordinary people.
He told him that the political world is just a decorative pendant compared to the military world. As far as true power is concerned, the entire empire belongs to the military.
Men stand upright and strive for strength, so naturally they have to fight in the most powerful position!
Since the royal family and political circles are declining in front of the military interface, let him embark on the path of the military and use them for his own use. At that time, the military and politics will become one, and the royal family has become a graceful decoration. In this world, there are still What makes a man more passionate than this?
I also thought about his vows back then. Zhai Mu smiled at Gu Li's questioning eyes, like a light sigh, and like a mockery: "No." His eyes looked at the direction of the palace, like a smear of fireworks. It rises quickly and disappears quickly.
No more?
Gu Li was surprised for the first time for his son, who was arrogant and even called a genius of Tianzong. "Why changed my mind?" Back then, he was stubborn and wanted to use the most powerful military circles for his own use. For this reason, he did not hesitate to leave home and go to a different place, starting from the grassroots. Now, seeing that he has become a close friend of the Marshal, under the three guards, he is the most trusted and has a good relationship with the new emperor Leng Yiyao, why suddenly changed his mind.
If the ambition he made back then was ridiculous, his achievements now have proved that he really has this possibility. Why did you suddenly change your original intention after seeing hope?
That is his heart's desire and attachment for years...
"The older you are, the more important you gain is not only your knowledge and skills, but also your vision." Zhai Mu took a sip of the tea. The slightly bitter taste stimulated the taste buds, but made people more sober. His eyes fell into the distance, and he had seen Wangyang Glacier, and the water of the small river would never leave any waves in his heart. Such a person's mind and means are absolutely within sight. Control the military and turn it into your own use?
At the beginning, he hadn't seen Hemo, only because of his youth and vigor, he wanted to fight for the most powerful power in the world.
However, having really met this famous person, even if he is confident, he understands his limits.
What's more, a Hemo can be a in the military world, plus a Leng Yiyao?
The way she had actually seen her by her side, plus how she had crushed Hole Mu's neck with her own hands in D City. He would not naively think that she would really know nothing about him for so long.
"How do you say?" Looking at the flash of self-deprecating smile on his son's face, Gu Qi was startled, and only felt that he had overlooked the most important thing.
"Just like Yunlai is the economic support of the political circle, the gambling king is a member of the royal family." Zhai Mu suddenly turned his head and stared quietly at his father's pupils. The cold light under his eyes was intertwined and cruelly cold. Disperse quietly, turning into a pool of calm stagnant water.
Gu Li seemed to be stunned by his words all of a sudden. He stared at him blankly, and opened his mouth. In the end, only his face was completely absurd!
how is this possible!
Yunlai is the helm of Shengde Group and the leader of the oldest family in the empire. But he was born with a deficiency and suffered from a different disease-his hands cannot directly touch anyone.
In those days, in order to find a cure, Yunlai's father was struggling to find a famous doctor. Finally moved the focus of attention to other directions...
No matter how wealthy aristocratic families are, they are still businessmen. Is there any other way outside of the business world?
The royal family is extravagant, the military is indifferent, and only the political circle is smooth.
At the beginning, he had already shown his prowess in the ruling party. Faced with the huge wealth of the Shengde Group, he naturally hoped to use it as a back-up. For the needs of the other party, he was naturally willing to act to achieve what he hoped. At this point, it hits it off. The Shengde Group became the financial support behind his summit in politics, and he sought a cure for Yunlai. However, Yunlai's father died young, and Yunlai soon took over the huge group directly. Compared to his father, Yunlai seemed more unpredictable. It is natural to care about the treatment, but obviously not as eager as his father. If you don't touch with others, as time goes by, you get used to it, and it's like the instinct in his body. Gradually, he adapts to it and just let it go. It is the best to be cured, nor can it be mad.
At one time, he suspected that the cooperation between himself and the other party would be terminated. Who would have thought that Yunlai's relatives, An Lan, unexpectedly met Zhai Mu abroad, and fell in love at first sight from now on.
For this reason, the two parties have entered into a marriage contract, which is also a covenant, and the alliance's relationship has become solid again.
But later...
Gu Li pursed his lips, and the wrinkles on his face became more obvious.
After Zhai Mu returned to the imperial capital, he wanted to dissolve the marriage contract, which caused a quiet person like An Lan to bounce back. He went straight to Shengde High School to find Leng Yiyao as he fainted...
Gu Li glanced at his son thoughtfully. Up to now, he has never asked why Zhai Mu had to dissolve the marriage contract... Is it really for that Leng Yiyao?
Zhai Mu was so keen, seeing his father's eyes fall on his face, he had already guessed what he was thinking. Just, rebuttal?
Why deceive yourself?
In the beginning, why didn't you have this idea?
In this world, what other woman can be like her?
She was like a potion of poison, and she was unwilling to get rid of it all her life. Willingly, without regrets in this life.
He remembered her calmness and self-restraint after being awakened by him in the cellar, remembering her shrewd design and taking him into Siller's casino, and remembering her careful mind when she first entered the imperial capital.
The pinnacle of power, the most beautiful woman, in this world, in the face of these, which man will not be dazzled?
However, three days ago, in the air-raid shelter in City D, the moment he saw Xile walking out of the darkness and darkness, all his extravagant hopes were completely wiped out!
Zhai Mu's face suddenly appeared ashamed, no matter how warm the tea in his hand was, it wouldn't make his eyes feel warmer...
The man who laughed wildly and arrogantly, even the Leng family was crushed by her feet, is more than clever, it is amazing!
Except for the marshal, I am afraid that no one knows better than him what her nature is.
What she has is by no means as simple as outsiders see.
Just like the night he met for the first time that he remembered countless times in his dream...
He was surrounded by evil spirits and was seriously injured, but his smile was so cold and enchanting.
That is the face she has never concealed, and it is also the true face of her deity and murderous expression.
And that night was the night when the empire's most prestigious second prince Lu Ming died without a whole body....
