The General's Shamelessness (3)

"Knock, knock, knock--"

Shuo Yan was interrupted by the knock on the door, a slight tremor in his hand, the cigarette butt left a reddish spot in the silence of the night. The intermittent ashes of the cigarette hang down, blowing in the wind, separated before landing, like a flurry of old events.

"Cousin?"

Seeing no response, the person outside the room tried to speak again.

Shuo Yan was a bit surprised, he thought it must be Qiu Gu again, but he didn't expect it to be Changyin Gu.

Qiu Gu had been a lover of others, and her family had broken up with her, but her elder brother still loved her and kept in touch with her. Later, Qiu Gu became the honorable Mrs. Yan, and naturally took care of her own brother.

Changyin Gu, the only precious son of Qiu Gu's elder brother, usually traveled a lot, was very smart, but not attached to the rich and powerful, and was a painter who was not very professional.

Shuo Yan thought for a moment and reached out to open the door, Changyin Gu and Qiu Gu were very different, they wouldn't go to the Three Jewels for nothing.

Changyin Gu always wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, very white and gentle, he looks a bit like Qiu Gu, so there are two similarities with Shuo Yan's eyebrows, but very different. Compared with Shuo Yan's frosty eyebrows, the corners of his eyes are drenched in poetic humor, just like the tenderness of love in the hazy morning sun.

By and large, people are artists, so they look artistic.

Shuo Yan is quite impressed with Changyin Gu, which is quite rare.

For one thing, Changyin Gu's attitude towards him has been the same since he was a child; he has never been a high-flyer, nor does he have a tendency to favor him nowadays. Secondly, he is smart, Changyin Gu is not a professional painter, but he has different views and opinions on many things.

It's interesting to see a young talent with an erudite mind and a lot of connections, yet he likes to be a painter and is not professional.

"What's wrong?"

Shuo Yan saw him look a little sad today, he is a person who looks euphemistic and good-looking, and when his eyebrows are converged, it makes people feel that they have suffered a great deal of grievances.

"Not much, seeing as you haven't been coming out," Changyin Gu bowed his head slightly, wanting to speak, "wanted to talk to you."

Shuo Yan nodded.

"Why don't you turn on the lights?"

Shuo Yan was just about to turn on the light when Changyin Gu's finger had already brushed against his and pressed the switch.

He frowned slightly and drew back his hand.

"Have you been drinking?"

Changyin Gu shook his head, nodded again, and shook his goblet of pale golden liquid a little toward Shuo Yan.

"It's okay, well ...... as you know, it's not too intoxicating to drink at this strength."

Shuo Yan saw that something was wrong with him, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he just took two steps back without moving.

"Say, there must be something else you want to see me about."

Changyin Gu The corners of his mouth pursed, suddenly smiled bitterly: "I look for you how it has to be something else, long time no see, strange think of you."

"Don't gross me out, say it."

Shuo Yan frowned slightly, his gaze taking on a scrutinizing tone.

"Well," Changyin Gu shook his head and pushed his fingers over the gold-rimmed glasses on his face, his poetry-soaked, svelte eyes suddenly stern for two minutes, "I've heard something a little bit out of the ordinary, and I've come to ask you for confirmation."

Shuo Yan had already realized two points in his mind, and asked without thinking, " Ferdinandia's matter?"

Ferdinandia's intention to rebel he put out two points, but said ambiguously and vaguely, while Ferdinandia is still not back, he intends to observe more about the position of the factions within the empire nowadays.

The Council is the center of power, the five old men in it are only blowing their beards and staring, but they have a wide range of contacts, he knows that two of them are under Ferdinandia's birth mother, and they will definitely be towards Ferdinandia, and two of them will definitely be on their side, while the other one can't say for sure.

In addition to holding the military power of a few big families towards the ambiguous and ambiguous, after the release of these news in order to explore a little more clearly.

In fact, for Ferdinandia, the revolt was not the most important thing, the old man of the Emperor did not have many days to live, he was the heir to the throne, but the power of the Emperor was nowadays so restricted that even when he ascended to the throne, he was not quite free.

What's more, Olivia accused him of being a traitor and a traitor to his country, and to his arch-enemy, the Elseworlds.

What is Ferdinandia doing and what does he want?

Surprisingly, he didn't know anything about it.

"Yes," Changyin Gu admitted simply and sharply, looking straight at Shuo Yan and lowering his voice, " The matter of His Highness Ferdinandia's ill intentions and treachery, I do have questions for you regarding him. "

"What's the problem?" Instead of being annoyed, Shuo Yan's eyes lit up.

Changyin Gu is very smart, obviously a painter, political vision but far-reaching exception, the network is also surprisingly messy and wide, when the war of conquest have a point of his support.

Changyin Gu's voice was lowered a trifle, and outside was a family feast with a large crowd, yet he was still careful and cautious.

"The biggest problem is that cousin should know best," Changyin Gu said, his face not looking too good, "Zhifan Shen."

Shuo Yan Woods was silent, as if he had been hit by a dead end.

"It's not a secret that Zhifan Shen and Ferdinandia have had close dealings," Changyin Gu took off his gold-rimmed glasses and drew out a silk scarf from his breast pocket to wipe them delicately, "Cousin, by sending Zhifan Shen into the Mecha Department, you really Isn't it overcrowding?"

"No," Shuo Yan responds bluntly, "I naturally have my own ideas."

Changyin Gu looked at him quietly and was silent for a long time, his eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses were surprisingly dark, making Shuo Yan a little annoyed.

"Seven years ago," Changyin Gu suddenly sighed, "seven years ago you asked me to help you find a teenager, I remember, it was Zhifan Shen."

Shuo Yan : "Yes, what's wrong?"

Changyin Gu didn't look too good, "Are you really not harboring an affair with him?"

Shuo Yan turned his head slightly sideways and said bluntly again, "Of course I harbor personal feelings for him."

He admitted it so bluntly that Changyin Gu didn't know what to say.

"What is his relationship to you," Changyin Gu frowned, "that you should be so protective of him?"

"He saved my life." Shuo Yan also frowned, feeling that today's Changyin Gu was exceptionally eventful.

Changyin Gu followed up with, "Just for saving your life? Even if he was having an affair with Ferdinandia, you still put him in the Mecha Division?"

"Like I said," Shuo Yan's voice was two shades heavier, "I've got my own ideas about putting him in the Mech Division."

Changyin Gu pressed on, "What's the idea?"

Shuo Yan turned around and patted Changyin Gu's head ungently.

"Kids stay out of grownups' business."

Changyin Gu: "......"

Changyin Gu, holding a mouthful of blood, was overwhelmed by this reason and was very unconvinced.

He was only two years younger than Shuo Yan.

"No, think about it," Changyin Gu, as white and svelte as he could be, wanted to blow up, "Do you think, when it's really a good idea to put him in the Mecha Division? I've seen his videos, he's at a very high level, he's very talented, and with another Mecha Division standing, he'd be a very formidable assistant to Ferdinandia ......"

"You also said he was very talented," Shuo Yan sighed and gave him a somewhat disgusted look, "He shouldn't be buried."

Changyin Gu wanted to hit someone when he heard, "Just because of talent?"

"No," Shuo Yan pressed the cigarette out of his hand into the ashtray under his hand, "put it next to me so I can keep a better eye on him."

"How can you be sure you'll keep an eye on him?" Changyin Gu laughed in exasperation, "If you don't keep an eye on him and cause damage or even human life, who will be responsible, you?"

"Uh, I'll do it."

Shuo Yan nodded very seriously.

Changyin Gu was speechless, the other party's serious to roguish attitude didn't sit too well with the artist, and held his tongue for half a day before saying, "You just have an affair with him."

Shuo Yan gave him a strange look, "Didn't I admit ages ago that I had an affair with him?"

Changyin Gu: "......"

"Cousin, after all these years," Changyin Gu remained silent for a while, finally smoothing out his mood a bit, "you are not such an impulsive person, you did not do the right thing in this case."

"Well," Shuo Yan frowned, "there's a lot of reasons in there, and while I'm sure I can keep an eye on him, there's one thing I'll admit, I like him a lot."

Changyin Gu opened his mouth and died for half a day, "...... you, you ......"

He couldn't get a word out of "you".

"I've thought about what you said," Shuo Yan wanted to fumble another cigarette out, but self-control kept him from his plan of up to three a day, "I'll tell you straight up, I have many ways to deal with these situations."

"Really," Changyin Gu's white face was puzzled, "even if he's going to turn against you at any moment you don't care?"

Shuo Yan paused, "Whether or not he'll turn against us is still a question, I'm not too sure about what happened back then but I'm letting go of the investigation, and now I've got some clues, the fact that he's had a close personal relationship with Ferdinandia might just be due to being hoodwinked by Ferdinandia... ..."

"And what if he kills someone," Changyin Gu's words were like blades, "if he kills someone in the mech division and turns against the water, will you treat them the same?"

"No, it's not a matter of equal treatment," continued Changyin Gu, without waiting for his reply, "it's your responsibility."

......

Late Night.

In the silence of the room, the youth slept peacefully on his side.

Probably because of the good mood, a look at the other side to think that the other side of a beautiful dream, even the corners of the mouth are smiling curved.

A white shadow scurried into the house, the soft pads of its feet making it silent.

The cat is also very pretty today, his fur flowing like brocade in the moonlight, his face petite and graceful, like a doll.

It sat half-sitting on the edge of the youth's bed, gazing at him silently.

But that gaze was so substantial that it actually caused the sleeping youth to frown slightly.

It wagged its tail, which was fluffy and very fluffy and lovely, a touch that made you want to touch it at first sight, and it moved slightly, then slowly ...... slowly stepped onto the youth s bed.

The youth's features came closer to it, and it bowed its head slightly, its eyes like beautiful glassy stones.

Then it rubbed its face against the youth's head, as if dropping a light kiss.
