Chapter 174: Nana's Party: The Crystal Hall of Ridiculousness
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Razhi Legion to snatch a wife!
Hearing her question, Huai Sucun's eyes lit up, and his eyes were full of appreciation: "I didn't expect you to be so sharp and grasp the point at once." ”
"Really?" She was so encouraged that she subconsciously puffed out her chest.
A suspicious blush suddenly flashed across his face, and then he looked forward and explained to her: "Actually, the answer is very simple: lack of money! ”
Her eyes widened in disbelief: will the dictator still be short of money? What, when the dictators of Babylon and Goryeo are reported in the news, don't they all say that they have billions of dollars and live a luxurious life?
And how could a marshal, who was also an imperial dictator, be short of money?
After a detailed explanation, she gradually gained a general understanding of this deformed imperial system.
The war machine is also a gold-selling machine, and the millennia of turmoil and war has made it impossible for the empire to carry out the necessary production and construction in a healthy way.
The marshal is not a saint, and he has the human weaknesses that human beings should have, but in this tug-of-war that is always on the verge of the abyss, with little hope in sight and no end in sight, the dictator alone cannot maintain the normal functioning of the empire.
This requires the gathering of the strength of many people, gritting their teeth, and making joint efforts to deceive and inspire ordinary people, squeeze their surplus value, and fully mobilize the means of production in all aspects......
In short, this process is somewhat similar to the process of King Charles I of the British Empire, who was overly profligate and short of money, convened Parliament to collect money, and finally developed a constitutional monarchy.
Today, the marshal's dictatorship over state affairs, while at the same time being held hostage by the Grand Council, has evolved from a tacit agreement to a formal system.
In those years when the war situation was not clear, the General Assembly played the role of strong backing and logistical support.
However, when mankind finally became invincible after the establishment of the industrial system through painstaking efforts and the possession of powerful thermal weapons, the attitude of the council began to gradually change.
After the former four legions led by Wei Shuai completely sealed the Vajra ape in the four forbidden places, the Great Council showed signs of restlessness.
This cannot be judged simply as "right" or "wrong".
Politics has always been a game of multi-party vested interests, and the ultimate victory is probably the one that best meets the needs of the development of the times.
Hanabin was a little confused: "Then is this marshal still in charge?" ”
If you sit in that position, you have to look at the faces of others, and this marshal might as well be inappropriate.
Such a lovely idea......
Huai Sucun couldn't help but feel amused: "Even if he is restrained, the marshal is still at the helm of the empire, are you sure you want to let others control your own destiny?" ”
Hanabi originally thought about it, in her capacity......
"Forget it, it's better for you to create a new era!" She let out a bold remark, and then asked with some suspicion: "Is the empire really so short of money?" ”
"It's true." Huai Sucun nodded, "The fact that a pure businessman like Yuan Shengjue can now occupy a seat in the Great Council is proof of this. ”
With the reminder of nostalgia, the reading of the white paper and the content of the afternoon meeting were much easier.
In fact, by the afternoon, most people were a little absent-minded.
After all, what everyone is looking forward to is Nana's party in the evening.
Hana's mind also drifted to this party, and she was about to rush to a party that was somewhat of a Hongmen banquet for her, and it was impossible not to be nervous.
But the resounding composure of nostalgia infected her.
She calmly chose a relatively conservative light green evening dress - mainly to hide the birds she wore on her body.
Weapons weren't possible, but she hoped she could at least protect herself if something happened.
The opulence and extravagance of this evening was far greater than last night's council evening.
Not only the romantic flower arrangement, not only the dreamlike crystal palace, not only the well-behaved waiters, not only the cautious attitude of the invitees, but more importantly, every man dresses himself up well-dressed and majestic, and the whole male beauty contest exudes the commotion of male hormones in the air.
Nana, on the other hand, did not show up, and remained in the crystal palace to maintain her high pretense, and the men did not have the opportunity to step into the palace unless they were invited.
It is crowded around the palace, rubbing shoulders.
Victor took the opportunity to contact the powerful people who were in turmoil but had not been qualified to enter the temple, and set up a "Sect Transmission Committee" in one fell swoop.
Huahuoyuan couldn't help but sigh: How absurd it is in the troubled times, and the world is chaotic and evil.
As the only woman present, she felt that her presence was unusually dazzling, and many people cast strange glances.
Also, everyone who came came for Nana, who still brought a female companion? Isn't that looking for a draw?
But Huai Sucun always accompanied Huahuoyuan as if no one was around, regardless of other people's eyes and whispers, led Huahuoyuan to walk around the party leisurely, eat and drink, and from time to time explained to her the identity background or anecdotes of important people, quite a bit of a beautiful travel, watching the show, and pointing out the country.
The men actually didn't believe that Huai Sucun had no idea about Nana, if he didn't have an idea, why did Baba rush to the banquet? I didn't say I could come yesterday, but here we are.
How do you say that? I say no, but my body is still very honest.
The reason why he brought the so-called lady to the meeting was probably to deliberately make a disdain for Nana and put a fig leaf on himself.
By the way, it's not just a fig leaf, people are skilled in military law, and they use a trick to capture and indulge, deliberately hanging Nana's appetite, it's really ill-intentioned!
Everyone was slandering, and the male attendant beside Nana walked up to Huai Sucun, and invited him into the hall with good manners, and he saw that his eyes were red and hot.
Hey, who called Huai Sucun look good?
Who told Nana to obey this tune?
Although everyone has a lot of slander about Huai Sucun, no one dares to show it.
In these years, the gun is in hand, and the waist is hard! When a soldier walks down the street, which one is not showing off his might?
It's time to cut the military power!
I'm about to be the only one left, and Hanabihara is subconsciously a little nervous.
Huai Sucun saw her uneasiness, cupped her face, and tenderly dropped a kiss on her lips: "Wait for me to come back." Then he shook her hand vigorously before he walked away calmly.
Hua Huoyuan was stunned by his sudden move, and when everyone else left, he realized what he had just done, and suddenly felt embarrassed: This is a dog food in public!
The uproar and discussion around him are enough to show what kind of impact his move has caused.
Alas, so shy.
Why is she so flirtatious!
If it goes on like this, she really won't be able to hold it!
She pondered how to gracefully pounce on her man as she grabbed the delicate food. Well, if you can't satisfy your lust at the moment, then it's better to satisfy your appetite for the time being.
A hand suddenly handed her a goblet filled with a golden liquid.
She was stunned for a moment, a little surprised: "Wei Qi! You're here too? ”
Wei Qi stared at her with blazing eyes and pursed his lips: "It was the adults who asked me to protect you." ”
It's not good to send anyone, why do you want to send Weiqi? Huai Sucun didn't know what Wei Qi had in mind about her?
The atmosphere was a little awkward, so she had to chat with nothing to do: "I've always heard that you have a great background, but I didn't expect it to be such a big second-generation official." What does it feel like to be the son of a marshal? Majestic or troubled? ”
He looked at her for a while, lowered his eyes, and asked instead of answering, "Do you really like adults?" ”
In fact, some didn't want to answer, but Wei Qi's identity was extraordinary, and she couldn't perfunctory him. It's better to answer well and let him die as soon as possible.
She took a deep breath and tried to be as sincere as she could: "Of course. You know me, I don't like it, no one can force me. ”
"When did it start?"
She was a little uncomfortable and blushed slightly: "Maybe it started from the first meeting." ”
Wei Qi's face was slightly gloomy, and he looked at her directly: "Is it the so-called love at first sight?" ”
"No," she said unconsciously as she recalled the scene, "I actually hated him a little bit at first. However, at that time, there were many men in the challenge field who wanted to play hooligan on me, so it was Su Cun who gave me his coat to put on and escorted me safely to the barracks. ”
She thought for a moment and added: "In fact, I was able to survive in the military camp later, and it also relied to a large extent on the protection of retrospectiveness. At that time, I might have already been attracted to him. ”
If it weren't for the woman who pretended to be him, maybe she would have been eaten and wiped clean by a gang of ruffians; If he hadn't helped her when she entered the camp to carry weights to practice the competition, she would have lost her due significance by risking life and death to fight for the first place; Later, if he hadn't mentioned it and given it to Asuka, she wouldn't have the status she has today.
Although she didn't see many people at that time, she has always lived under his protection.
Wei Qi's eyes were a little stunned, but his face gradually eased: he once thought that he had lost in this face, and he had thought that he had lost above the power, but now Hua Huoyuan's answer made him lose willingly-
At that time, he didn't have a good impression of her, and basically didn't do anything else except make things difficult for her and use her.
He is indeed not as good as an adult.
After a moment of silence, he asked again, "Is the adult good to you?" ”
"It's good." Although the answer was very simple and neat, he still detected an unconscious little daughter attitude in her expression.
This feeling, he had only found in her. The more you pay attention to these fleeting details, the more you find her fascinating.
She is truly unique!
He used to be very close to her, but unfortunately, he ended up wrong and passed by.
Looking at the night sky full of broken moons with some confusion, he felt that his heart was also scattered and complicated like these broken moons.
"I wish you and you happiness." He tilted his head and poured out his glass, chatting about the silence.
"I lend you good words." She readily accepted his blessing.
She thought easily: Getting along with him like this may be the best ending.
He thought bitterly: Getting along with her like this may be the last tranquility.
The crystal palace was covered with thick velvet cushions, and a wide round bed was revealed between the layers of light veil.
Nana supported a delicate side face on one elbow, and her face was no longer the tsundere of yesterday, but her eyes were like silk, and she hooked her soul directly. She lay on the bed softly, her entire fragrant shoulders exposed, one arm stretched from her round shoulders to the place of deep V temptation, and her chest swayed slightly as soon as she moved, full of style.
"Your Excellency, am I beautiful?" She lightly lifted her red lips and exhaled like an orchid.
