At seven o'clock, Herbert knocked on the door of Eno's mansion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's beautiful and exquisite." Herbert praised the Eno Mansion in a serious manner, if it weren't for the exquisite atmosphere of this mansion, Lin Wenlan would have thought that he was talking the opposite......
"Thank you." Lin Wenlan smiled appropriately and guided him to sit down gently and generously.
"Gifts." Herbert handed over a delicate small box to the servant, and his sea-blue eyes stared at her tightly, staring at Lin Wenlan a little uncomfortable.
"Thanks, let's get started." Lin Wenlan took the gift and raised his hand to signal the meal to begin. From the beginning of the meal, the two of them began to eat quietly, and no one spoke anymore. Although the food is exquisite, only they know what it tastes like when they eat it. Anyway, Lin Wenlan didn't know how to eat, her heart was anxious and excited, but there was no flaw on the surface.
She's been waiting, she's been waiting for so long, and she can't afford to fall short here!
"I've helped you so much, shouldn't I thank you?" Herbert gestured to her with his glass.
Finally spoke!
Lin Wenlan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and also raised his wine glass to signal to him, and said with a light smile: "What does the general mean?" ”
"Still trying to beat around the bush with me?" Herbert put down the knife in his hand and said bluntly: "Let's all show sincerity, don't continue to try, okay?" ”
Lin Wenlan was a little overwhelmed by his impatience, she thought that today's dinner party was bound to be dancing on thin ice, she was ready to fight Herbert with 120,000 spirits, who expected that the other party would take the initiative to take off the disguise!
"Yes, of course, I like to deal with cheerful people." Lin Wenlan took a small sip of the wine glass in her hand, the mellow and sweet and sour taste of red grape juice was cut in her mouth, she took another sip before putting down the wine glass and said, "I have a question for the general." ”
"Yes." Herbert also pinched the wine glass and gently shook the elixir in the glass: "However, should you ask your bodyguard to avoid it?" He was referring to Carl standing behind Lin Wenlan, today's guards in the entire Eno Mansion are exceptionally strict, and it can basically be said that they are impregnable, if there is no permission from the master, the people outside will not want to enter, and the people inside will not want to come out. It's much pitiful to compare him, he came to the banquet alone.
"Carl is my confidant, it's okay~" Lin Wenlan smiled and rejected Herbert's proposal, Herbert is a dangerous household, she can't let herself be in danger.
"But ......" Herbert put down his wine glass and opened his mouth and wanted to ask Lin Wenlan to kick Carl out again, but before he could say a word, he frowned and stopped, and after a pause, he finally changed his words: "Forget it, ask!" ”
"How did the general know that I was attacked outside the palace that day?" Herbert's compromise made Lin Wenlan breathe a sigh of relief, although Herbert said to be straightforward, but Lin Wenlan decided to be more careful step by step, first test Herbert's reaction and then improvise.
"I arranged that." Herbert, as he says, replied very honestly.
"Killed the Clum brothers?" Lin Wenlan asked.
"No, I'm only going to kill one, if you kill both, the eldest prince will send someone to spy on you anyway."
"Then we really want to go together~" Lin Wenlan smiled and confided the truth: "But the eldest prince still sent someone again." ”
"So I solved it for you again." Herbert immediately and graciously admitted, without a second of hesitation.
"That's really a thank you general, but the general solved a big problem for me!"
"You're welcome, as it should be."
"And one more question, general... What exactly do you want? Ascend to the throne? Lin Wenlan stared at Herbert on the other side, for fear of missing a slight.
"The throne?" Herbert sneered, and replied nonchalantly, "Sort of! Is it my turn to ask you? ”
"Courtesy is still exchanged, general, please ask." Lin Wenlan picked up the wine glass and drank another sip of grape juice with some anxiety, and the small half glass of grape juice was about to be drunk by her. After she put down the glass, Bill immediately stepped forward to add some 'wine' for her, and seeing Bill's figure, Lin Wenlan suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
"Wen Lan, have you eaten well lately?" Herbert asked seriously.
"......" Lin Wenlan was a little stunned, looking at the other party's serious face, she had to answer with a smile: "Of course, I have a good appetite recently, I can't hide it, I am going to add food to myself after sending the general away!" ”
"Then how did you lose weight like this?" Herbert asked again.
"Skinny?" Lin Wenlan laughed dryly and said: "I still think I'm a lot fatter, and the general is quite good at making women happy~" After speaking, she covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, as if confirming what she said.
"What about sleeping? Do you sleep well at night? Herbert asked again.
"......" Lin Wenlan smiled reluctantly and said: "Okay, I slept well every day, general, let's discuss business, forget about these little things about eating and sleeping!" "Actually, she wants to say, this is my private matter, you care so much! What does it have to do with him whether she eats well or sleeps well!
"Haven't you been worrying a lot lately, I see that you are always frowning and sullen, is there anything I can help you?" Herbert asked again.
"......" Lin Wenlan took a deep breath, her smirk was about to hang up: "General, this is a private question, I refuse to answer!" Let's talk about business! For his endless inquiries about his private affairs, Lin Wenlan had an inexplicable sense of resistance, obviously not very familiar, but he had to ask as if the two were old friends, she hated such a familiar person!
Can...... Is General Herbert such a self-acquaintance......
"Okay, discuss business, you say." After asking a lot of inconsequential questions, Herbert once again put the right to ask questions in her hands.
Lin Wenlan can't ask for it!
"What's next for the General?" Since we want to cooperate, we must always get to know each other!
"What's next?" Herbert said: "There is no plan, now the Central Star is almost all my people except for you, only those stubborn ones are left to get rid of, and the rest just wait for the eldest prince to come back." ”
"......" doesn't look like a planned plan, but Lin Wenlan knows that he is telling the truth, because the power that the eldest prince left in the Central Star is actually centered on her, except that she is some nobles who have basically declined, and now she is also standing in Herbert's camp, so Herbert really has nothing to do, just waiting for the eldest prince to come back.
