Chapter 844: Ulterior Motives
After sending the commander to the mansion, wait until the commander is completely rested.
The subordinate drove away, but did not return to his residence.
Instead, he went to Gu Huai's mansion, which made people a little puzzled.
Naturally, what is this subordinate going to do now?! Why would a good person go to Gu Huai's mansion?!
And after this subordinate arrived at Gu Huai's mansion, he looked around cautiously.
Once you're sure there's no one else, you'll enter the mansion.
Then I came to the study, and at this moment in the study.
Gu Huai sat on a chair, reviewing the file at hand.
When he saw this subordinate come in, he squinted at this subordinate.
Before Gu Huai could say anything, this subordinate humbly bowed his head towards Gu Huai.
Regarding this subordinate's actions, Gu Huai seemed to be accustomed to it.
"Sir, he really has something to hide from you." This subordinate looked at Gu Huai and said softly, who can think of it.
This subordinate actually called Gu Huai Mr. at this moment.
After hearing the words of the Eastern Roman monarch, it made the commander cry and laugh a little.
Naturally, in the eyes of this commander, he did not want to be respected by these soldiers at all.
On the contrary, as it is now, is what the commander wants to see.
But now that the Eastern Roman monarch was looking at him like this, the commander didn't know what to say.
Just tell the Eastern Roman monarch that he needs time to think about it now.
If someone else had said so now, perhaps the Eastern Roman monarch would have been outraged.
will even feel that the other party is completely ignorant of current affairs now.
But if it was this commander, then the Eastern Roman monarch felt that there was some truth.
Even in the eyes of the Eastern Roman monarch, the commander was right to think deeply now.
After all, in the eyes of the Eastern Roman monarch, if the commander immediately agreed.
Perhaps the Eastern Roman monarch would not have sent this commander to Gaul, if the commander had known what the Eastern Roman monarch was thinking at the moment.
I'm afraid that he had already chosen to agree, who would have thought that the Eastern Roman monarch would think so?!
The Eastern Roman monarch then asked the commander to return to his mansion for the time being, but when the commander was about to leave.
The Eastern Roman monarch called out to him, which puzzled the commander.
Could it be that the Eastern Roman monarch is now going to give up sending himself to Gaul?! But it's a pity.
The commander was clearly overthinking, and the Eastern Roman monarch was now calling out to the commander.
It is to tell the commander that there is a dinner party today, and I hope the commander can go.
After hearing the words of the Eastern Roman monarch, the commander nodded with a wry smile.
Although the commander did not really want to attend the dinner, there was no way to refuse the Eastern Roman monarch now.
And Gu Huai had also instructed this commander before, so let this commander collect those lists as much as possible.
Because of this, the commander chose to go.
After receiving the commander's reply, the Eastern Roman monarch smiled and nodded.
After leaving the palace of the Eastern Roman monarch, the commander sat in the carriage and frowned slightly.
At this moment, the subordinate is asking the commander where he plans to go now.
After hearing his subordinates' inquiry, the commander sighed.
Then he asked his subordinates to send him to Gu Huai's mansion, after all, in the eyes of this commander.
Now I still have to discuss it with Gu Huai, when Gu Huai sees this commander appear in front of him again.
frowned slightly, naturally in Gu Huai's opinion.
Has this commander forgotten what he said earlier?! Why do you want to go now?!
It seems that after sensing Gu Huai's displeasure, there is no way, and the commander can only tell Gu Huai the truth now.
When he heard the commander's words, Gu Huai frowned slightly.
Naturally, in Gu Huai's opinion, he really didn't expect these things to happen now.
And the same is true of this commander-in-chief, after all, in the eyes of this commander-in-chief.
Now he really doesn't know how to choose, and Gu Huai is also aware of the commander's hesitation.
After all, there is no way to do this, in Gu Huai's opinion, now let this commander lead his troops to Gaul.
If the commander did not do anything at that time, he would have been noticed by the Eastern Roman monarch.
This is naturally not something that Gu Huai and the commander want to see, but there seems to be no way to do it now.
Isn't that so?! But now that the commander is here to ask himself.
So in Gu Huai's opinion, he is now planning to tell the commander what to do.
Now it is natural to promise the Eastern Roman monarch, if not to the Eastern Roman monarch now.
When the time comes, the Eastern Roman monarch will inevitably perceive something.
Naturally, that's not what the commander wants to see, isn't it!?
After hearing Gu Huai's words, the commander nodded.
After all, this commander naturally understands that there is no way for him not to choose to go now.
Who made the Eastern Roman monarch say that before, how can he not agree?!
Then the commander mentioned today's dinner, to which the Eastern Roman monarch had invited him again.
After hearing the commander's words, the corners of Gu Huai's mouth rose slightly.
Then in Gu Huai's view, it seems that it is not only the Eastern Roman monarch who appreciates this commander.
Even those important ministers are like this, in Gu Huai's opinion, now is the commander's chance.
As for what the opportunity is, it depends on how the commander chooses for himself.
After hearing Gu Huai's words, the commander didn't say anything.
Just got up and left here, after all, the commander also knew it.
Now that he and Gu Huai are equals, he naturally can't stay for too long.
After the commander left, Gu Huai sighed.
Then in Gu Huai's opinion, I don't know if it's the same as what I think now.
If so, then there is some worry about Fang Xu.
However, in Gu Huai's opinion, Fang Xu should also have a decision, right?!
After leaving the palace, the commander went to the palace of the Eastern Roman monarch.
At this moment, the Eastern Roman monarch looked at the commander with some surprise, as if he did not expect that the commander would come back again.
Naturally, I'm curious, is there anything going on with this commander now?!
Hearing the Eastern Roman monarch's inquiry, the commander nodded.
Now he told the Eastern Roman monarch that he had decided to take his troops to Gaul.
After hearing the commander's current words, the Eastern Roman monarch was a little stunned.
After all, there is no way to do it, why do you say that?!
Naturally, in the eyes of the Eastern Roman monarch, the previous commander also planned to consider it.
But why did you suddenly say yes now?! This was what made the Eastern Roman monarch curious and puzzled.
As if sensing the Eastern Roman monarch's doubts at this moment, the commander told the Eastern Roman monarch with a wry smile.
Since the Eastern Roman monarch is so optimistic about himself now, how can he disappoint the Eastern Roman monarch?!
After hearing the commander's words, the Eastern Roman monarch patted the commander's arm with satisfaction.
Naturally, in the eyes of the Eastern Roman monarch, this commander really did not disappoint himself.
After all, in the previous time, when I heard that this commander needed to think about it.
In fact, the Eastern Roman monarch was a little worried, or rather regretful.
Naturally, it was in the eyes of the Eastern Roman monarchs.
is that he thinks that this commander is really a malleable talent.
And now also be true to yourself, if you can.
The Eastern Roman monarch naturally wanted to take a boost, but if he rashly promoted this commander.
Not only will it not be recognized by other commanders, but it is more likely to cause some unnecessary disputes.
These were not the things that the Eastern Roman monarch wanted to see.
Now the Eastern Roman monarch thought of sending this commander to Gaul.
And to take Gaul smoothly, then when the time comes, he will bring this commander with him.
The other commanders could not say anything, after all, no other commanders could take Gaul now.
If it is taken away by this one, then it is natural to carry it now.
And even earlier, the Eastern Roman monarchs had prepared soldiers and firearms for this commander.
From this point, it can be seen that the Eastern Roman monarch really had good intentions for this commander.
But when the Eastern Roman monarch mentioned going to Gaul, he didn't think of it.
The commander's reaction was not much different from that of other commanders.
This was also a bit of a disappointment for the Eastern Roman monarch, but nevertheless.
The Eastern Roman monarch, however, still believed that the commander would promise to go to Gaul.
It's just that the Eastern Roman monarch didn't think about it, and he actually agreed to himself so quickly.
However, now it also made the corners of the Eastern Roman monarch's mouth show a smile, and now he naturally took this commander to the camp.
Following behind the Eastern Roman monarch, the commander was a little puzzled,
Naturally, in the eyes of this commander, where is the Eastern Roman monarch going to take him now?!
However, after hearing the commander's inquiry, the Eastern Roman monarch told the commander.
When he arrived, the commander would naturally know.
Hearing the Eastern Roman monarch say this, it made the commander even more confused.
Naturally, I was curious, what did the Eastern Roman monarch want to do now?!
But when the commander reacted, he looked at the Eastern Roman monarch with some stunnedness.
As if sensing the commander's reaction, the Eastern Roman monarch smiled and nodded.
Now it was time to tell the commander that the soldiers in front of him were going to follow him to Gaul in the future.
Looking at the firearms and artillery beside these soldiers, it is enough to see how strong these soldiers are.
But the commander was a little puzzled, naturally in the commander's opinion.
Why have you never seen these soldiers in front of you?! After hearing the commander's inquiry.
The Eastern Roman monarch nodded appreciatively, after all, he didn't expect the commander to actually notice this.
Then the Eastern Roman monarch told the commander that he was now seeing the soldiers.
All of them were the elite of Byzantium, and it is no exaggeration to say that each one was able to play one against three.
And now, the Eastern Roman monarch intends to hand over such an elite to this commander.
After hearing the words of the Eastern Roman monarch, the ruler looked at the Eastern Roman monarch in disbelief.
Then it was in the eyes of this commander that he now knew that the Eastern Roman monarch was serious.
But the commander always felt a little ridiculous, wasn't it?!
Now it is natural to ask the Eastern Roman monarch, so it is now to hand over these soldiers to himself.
Does it really fit?! After all, in the eyes of this commander, he really didn't have much certainty.
After hearing the commander's words, the Eastern Roman monarch couldn't help but laugh.
Immediately, the Eastern Roman monarch told the commander that he would bring up these things.
And to come here with this commander-in-chief, then that means.
In fact, when the Eastern Roman monarch had previously asked the commander if he would take his troops to Gaul, the Eastern Roman monarch had already made a decision.
Since the commander now chose to agree to go to Gaul, it seemed to the Eastern Roman monarch.
It is equivalent to the commander agreeing to accept these soldiers, after hearing the words of the Eastern Roman monarch.
The commander froze in place, apparently looking at the Eastern Roman monarch in incomprehension.
But I also understand that I don't care what I say now.
The Eastern Roman monarch would not agree to take back his fate, and in that case, he could only be disrespectful now.
Looking at the soldiers in front of him, the commander was a little worried.
Naturally, it was in the commander's opinion that he would lead them to Gaul next.
How should Fang Xu deal with these soldiers?! That's what the commander was worried about.
Although he noticed the change in the commander's face, the Eastern Roman monarch did not say anything.
Because in the eyes of the Eastern Roman monarch, the commander is still mostly worried.
However, this is understandable, after all, the commander has never led troops to go on an expedition before.
And this first time he led troops to deal with Gaul, the commander was naturally under pressure.
For this reason, the Eastern Roman monarch now took the commander to the dinner.
After all, today's dinner party is for this commander.
After hearing the words of the Eastern Roman monarch, the commander was puzzled.
However, the commander did not say anything, naturally knowing that the Eastern Roman monarch would not tell him now.
It wasn't until he arrived at the dinner that the commander understood.
Why did the Eastern Roman monarch say that this dinner was for himself?
After three rounds of drinking, the commander left the dinner early again.
And the Eastern Roman monarch did not say anything, after all, he was accustomed to it.
When the commander sat in the carriage, he frowned slightly.
Naturally, in the eyes of this commander, what should I do next?!
The subordinates outside the carriage asked the commander-in-chief.
So where are you going now?! Now is it time to return to the mansion to rest or go to Gu Huai's mansion!?
After hearing the inquiries of his subordinates, the commander chose to go home.
After hearing the commander's orders, his subordinates naturally drove the carriage back to the mansion.
