In the empire, if you ask anyone, which place is the most heavily defended. Ten people will give the same answer - the Marshal's House.

There has been a murder case in the palace, and the two parties in the political world have faced each other for many years. Only in the military world, the Marshal's Palace is like a needle in the sea, and there has never been any trouble.

Gu Li went to the Marshal's Mansion in person. In view of the current victory over the Duolin Kingdom, everyone naturally believed that he was looking for the Marshal.

Who would have thought that as soon as he entered the Marshal's Mansion, he flinched and was told that neither the Marshal nor Leng Yiyao were in the mansion.

Facing this situation, Gu Li was just stunned for a while, then nodded and smiled. The half-white hair is particularly eye-catching in the light. He has a good temperament, and smiled with the guard officer who led the way: "If that's the case, let's see the marshal at the celebration banquet tomorrow." Turning around, he left immediately without any hesitation.

The guard squinted his eyes, remembering that Frey had told him before that if he encountered this person in power, he must be courteous no matter what. In this weather, older people come and go outdoors, afraid that their bodies can't stand it? He vaguely seemed to see some sweat stains on his forehead. The guard bowed and said, "Why don't you drink a cup of tea first and take a rest." When people came, they didn't even have to drink a glass of water. If it was spread out, they would say that the military world was unmanned because of their merits.

Gu Li turned back, looked at him, and slowly wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I'm getting old, but it's causing you trouble."

The guard said politely that there was no trouble, and led him towards the living room.

Hospitality is a matter of knowledge, and when the owner is absent, the person with the highest status in the manor will naturally accompany him. The three guards around Homer: First, Evans, now dealing with the defeat of the Duolinguo, he is too busy with his forehead to touch the ground. The second is Chen Feng's congratulations, the commander of the Northern Region. Unfortunately, I don't know if they have thought too much. Since the Queen has frequently been in and out of the Marshal's Palace, this lord has become more low-key and disappeared. The last one, naturally Frey, went out with the marshal today.

After all the calculations, the most suitable for hospitality is Zhai Mu, a new guard.

Although he doesn't always follow the marshal, but can be sent by the marshal to the queen's side to go to the battlefield together, the weight of this person, the colleagues in the marshal's mansion have long been tacit understanding.

So, not long after Gu Li sat down, someone went to notify Zhai Mu.

The tea served was the best tea. While making the tea, Zhai Mu looked at the tea leaves circling in the cup, just like the fate of a person, and it was predestined.

Gu Li originally found out the whereabouts of Hemo and Leng Yiyao, and came to him before the celebration party. He didn't expect to see people, and there were no outsiders present. He seemed to be settled, ignorant .

His frowning brows were secretly suppressed, and he didn't say anything, just looked at Zhai Mu so indifferently.

For a long time, seeing that he seemed to be a little out of his body, his eyes couldn't help falling on his face...

The facial features became more and more profound, and the jaw was stiff. When they met again after not seeing him for many years, he had grown into such a steady state, and the irritability in his heart suddenly vanished.

So, holding a cup of tea in his hands, Gu Li took the lead: "After so many years, your temper is still so stubborn."

Since it is a meeting room, other guards will naturally not stand here, adding pressure to the guests for nothing. In the room, only the two of them had the chance to say those words at this moment.

Zhai Muang raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, but he didn't refute. He just held up another cup of Cha in front of him, and sighed silently in the scent of tea, "You once said that what I most resemble you is this temper."

The blood is connected and the same blood, how can it not be imagined?

Zhai Mu recalled all kinds of childhood... At that time, his father was just an ordinary politician. Over the years, the two parties have been at a stalemate, fighting for power. To be able to break a path and become the leader of the ruling party really paid too much price. It's a pity that many years ago, he left the imperial capital, hiding his name and devote himself to his own affairs. For him, how his father climbed up all the way over the years, he just listened to the reports in his ears, and did not feel the same.

After hearing this, Gu Li was silent for a long time, and finally asked the real purpose of today's visit: "Then, after so many years, are you still sticking to your original plan?" Very calm, only the last word fell, and his fingertips couldn't help but tremble.

As his youngest son, Zhai Mu was gifted and capable since he was a child. It's just that he is naturally resistant to politics, and he never seems to be willing to choose this path. When he was fifteen years old, he suddenly knelt down in front of him and said that he was unwilling to follow the same old path as him, wasting his time in political collusion and fighting, and living his life in vain. At that time, he only thought that this kid was used to living a high-ranking life, and he was born to be rebellious. When we met again, he was already twenty years old.

Standing in front of him with a straight face and a calm expression, in his eyes is a strategist who controls everything at this time in his hands.

At that moment, he realized that he might have been wrong about this arrogant son.

It's just that what he thinks and thinks is really different from ordinary people.

He told him that the political world was nothing but a pendant compared to the military world. In terms of real power, the entire empire belongs only to the military.

Men stand upright and strive for excellence, so naturally they have to fight for the most powerful position!

Since the royal family and the political world are declining in front of the military world, then he will take the road of the military world and use it for his own use. At that time, the military and the political world will be combined into one, and the royal family will become a graceful decoration. In this world, there are still others. What makes a man's blood boil more than that?

Probably also remembering the oath he made back then, Zhai Mu suddenly smiled at Shang Guli's inquiring eyes, like a sigh, or a mockery: "No." His eyes looked at the direction of the palace, as if there was a touch of fireworks Rising quickly and fading away quickly.

no?

It was the first time that Gu Li was surprised by his son who was arrogant and even a genius. "Why did you change your mind?" At that time, he was stubborn and wanted to use the most powerful military for his own use. For this reason, he did not hesitate to leave home and go to another place, starting from the grassroots. Now, seeing that he has become a close associate of the marshal, he is the most trusted under the three guards, and he has a good relationship with the new emperor Leng Yiyao, so why did he suddenly change his mind.

If it was said that the ambition he made back then was absurd, his achievements today have already proved that he really has this possibility. Why did you suddenly change your mind after seeing hope?

That was the wish that he had been thinking about in his heart and persistently moving forward for many years...

"The older you get, the more you gain not only your knowledge and skills, but the most important thing is your vision." Zhai Mu took a sip of tea, the slightly bitter taste stimulated the taste buds, but made people more sober. His eyes fell into the distance, and he saw Wang Yang Glacier, and the water of the small river would no longer leave any waves in his heart. Such a person's mind and means are definitely very visible. Take control of the military world and use it for your own use?

At the beginning, he had never seen Homer, and just because he was young and vigorous, he wanted to fight for the most powerful power in the world.

However, having really met this famous person, no matter how confident he is, he still understands where his limits lie.

What's more, a Hemo can be called a god in the military world, plus a Leng Yiyao?

I have really seen her methods by her side, plus how she crushed Hormu's neck with her own hands in City D before. He wouldn't naively think that she would really know nothing about herself for so long.

"How do you say it?" Seeing the fleeting self-deprecating smile on his son's face, Gu Xin was startled, and only felt that he had neglected the most important thing.

"Just like Yunlai is the economic support of the political world, the gambling king is a member of the royal family." Zhai Mu suddenly turned around and stared at his father's pupils quietly. Dispersed quietly, turning into a pool of calm stagnant water.

Gu Li seemed to be stunned by his words. He was stunned on the spot, looked at him blankly, opened his mouth, and in the end, there was nothing but absurdity on his face!

how is this possible!

Yunlai is the helm of the Shengde Group, the oldest family in the empire. But he was born with an insufficiency and had a strange disease - his hands couldn't touch anyone directly.

Back then, in order to find a cure, Yun Lai's father worked hard and searched for famous doctors to no avail. In the end, the focus shifted to other directions...

No matter how rich a family is still a business, is there any other way outside the business world?

The royal family is arrogant, the military is indifferent, and only the political world is smooth.

He had already made his first appearance in the ruling party. In the face of the huge wealth of the Shengde Group, he naturally hoped to use it as a backup, and he was naturally willing to take action to achieve what he wanted to meet the needs of the other party. So far, it's a hit. Shengde Group became the financial support behind his ascent to the top of the political world, 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 is more elusive. He is naturally concerned about treating illness, but he is obviously not as eager as his father. Not touching people, over time, getting used to it, it is like an instinct in his body, and he gradually gets used to it, so he just lets it go. Can be cured the best, can not be cured also will not go crazy.

At one point, he suspected that his cooperation with the other party would be terminated. Who would have thought that Yun Lai's sister, An Lan, met Zhai Mu by chance abroad, and fell in love at first sight.

To this end, the two entered into a marriage contract, which is also a covenant, and the alliance relationship was re-established.

But later....

Gu Li pursed his lips, and the wrinkles on his face became more and more obvious.

After Zhai Mu returned to the imperial capital, he wanted to break up the engagement, which caused a quiet person like An Lan to bounce back from the bottom, and went straight to Shengde High School to find Leng Yiyao...

Gu Li gave his son a thoughtful look. Up to now, he has never asked why Zhai Mu wants to break up the engagement... Is it really for that Leng Yiyao?

Zhai Mu is so keen, seeing his father's eyes falling heavily 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 thought?

Is there any other woman in this world who can be like her?

She is like a dose of poison, and she is unwilling to get rid of it for the rest of her life. Willingly, have no regrets in this life.

He remembered her calmness and self-control after being rescued by him in the cellar, the shrewdness with which she deliberately designed and brought him into Siller's casino, and more importantly, the thoughtfulness of her first entry into 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?

It's just that, three days ago, in the bomb shelter in City D, when he saw Seale walking out of the darkness and darkness, all the extravagant hopes in his heart were completely wiped out!

Zhai Mu's face suddenly turned pale, no matter how warm the tea in his hand was, it couldn't make his eyes warm any more...

The person who laughed arrogantly and ruthlessly, even the whole Leng family under her feet, is not only smart, but simply amazing!

Except for the marshal, no one knows better than him what her nature is.

What she has is by no means as simple as what outsiders see.

Just like the night he met for the first time, which he recalled countless times in his dreams...

He was surrounded by evil spirits and was seriously injured, but he smiled so coldly and enchantingly.

That was the face she really did not hide, and it was also the true face of her deity and murderous intent.

And that night was the night when Lu Ming, the most prestigious second prince of the empire, died without a whole body...
