"What do you want, Monsieur de Treville!"

In Charles' office at the 6th Army Headquarters, Viscount Alex de Routrec frowned and looked at Charles coldly.

Compared with last night's outfit, he has changed out of his gorgeous skirt and changed into a military uniform again, although he is still slender, but the whole person does not look much feminine. At the same time, the arrogance and indifference between his eyebrows were as always.

Judging by the bloodshot in his eyes, he must have stayed up all night last night, but even at this moment, he still didn't have a nervous breakdown, and immediately ran over after being summoned by Charles.

Under the gaze of this sharp gaze, Charles couldn't help but touch the gun placed under the desk - although he knew that the other party would not be stupid enough to do it directly here, and he didn't look like he was carrying a weapon, he still subconsciously looked for a weapon for himself first.

The cold touch in his hand brought him an inexplicable sense of security.

Yes, here he does not dare.

Regaining his composure, he put the pistol back in the drawer.

Then, he looked up and looked at the other with a smile.

"I'm just looking for you to talk."

Then, without waiting for a reply, he stood up, made a gesture, and took Viscount Lautrec back to the place where they had sat that day.

"How about we try tea from somewhere else today?" He asked with a smile.

"Whatever, I don't really care about that." Knowing that Charles was deliberately provoking him, Viscount Lautrec barely kept his composure. "I just wanted to ask you, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Shouldn't you change your attitude towards me before that? Mr? Charles sneered. How dare you be so disrespectful to me, who holds such an important handle, do you want to test the bottom line of my patience? ”

Viscount Lautrec's eyes widened and his fists clenched, evidently at the height of his anger.

However, after a moment of sanity, he triumphed over his rage, and he had to obey Charles's advice. He sat down opposite Charles, only this time he was in no mood to pour tea from the teapot.

"Okay. I'll admit that I was so careless that you got the hang of it," he said, staring at Charles intensely, "then go straight to the point." What do you want me to do? Serving Louis Bonaparte? ”

"What if I ask for that?" Charles asked rhetorically.

"I can accept that." Viscount Lautrec said bluntly. "So you should be satisfied, right?"

"Oh? How easy it was to accept? It seems that last night did not lose sleep in vain. Charles sneered a little maliciously.

Then, without waiting for the other party to do anything, he smiled again, "However, since you have figured it out, it will be easy to do." Yes, I hope you will join our party and contribute to the revival of the Empire. ”

"Needless to say, is it? In the end, isn't it for your own glory and wealth? The viscount said coldly. In a word. We're trading right now, right? If you don't reveal this, I'll secretly cooperate with you. Right? ”

"That's right." Charles nodded.

"Well, then, we're in the same party now." Viscount Lautrec still frowned, "Since I am a fellow party member and know that I have value for use, then you can't push me too hard, I'm just a lowly petty official, and I can't do big things." ”

"Of course, we're not going to force you to do things you can't." Charles smiled and poured tea into both of their teacups, "But, sir, you don't seem to have to be so modest with yourself, do you?" Who doesn't know that you have a bright future ahead of you? ”

"What do you want to do?" The other party asked rhetorically.

"Well, we don't need you to do anything for the time being, we still have time anyway." Charles nodded, then picked up his teacup and took a sip of his tea, "I have a personal request, though. ”

"What request?" When Viscount Lautrec heard this, he felt something bad in his heart.

"I have a few friends who used to be in the National Guard with me, and now they are in the army." Charles put down his teacup again and looked at the other party calmly, "Since I've finally come here, I should think of some way to take care of them, right?" I think that since you are in such a confidential position, you should have a way to help them. ”

Viscount Lautrec's brow furrowed even more, but Charles' smiling gaze made him understand that he could not refuse this request.

"Okay, wait a minute, you give me the list, and I'll do my best." After a moment, he nodded helplessly.

"Thank you."

"I don't need your thanks, it's an insult." Viscount Lautrec replied hatefully.

Then he muttered quietly. "I hope I won't be a burial object for your ambitions."

"What do you mean?"

"Let us be honest, Mr. Treville, that although I hate you very much now, I still think you are a very talented and therefore very ambitious man. Such a person, as far as I understand, will not be just a blind follower," Viscount Lautrec looked solemn and bored, "In that case, I think you will definitely not only think about how to help Bonaparte, but you are really thinking about yourself!" And so it turned out! ”

Then, he sighed again, "But I'm tied to such a person, it's ...... It's disgusting! ”

Charles couldn't figure out whether the other party was complimenting or belittling him, but he didn't care, he just smiled.

"You're going too far, and I'm sorry." He drank the tea from his teacup, "Actually, I'm a very easy-going person, and you'll know if you've been with me for a long time." ”

………………

"Sir, it's time for you to go see Mr. Treville." I don't know how long he waited in the waiting room, but Lucien finally waited for a secretary who came to introduce him, "Please come with me." ”

"Thank you." With a sense of relief and relief. Lucien stood up.

After borrowing a reason to come to the 6th Army Department to complete official business, he specially came to ask to see Charles. However, although he handed over Charles's business card, the secretary told him that he was now meeting guests. So he still had to wait outside, and after a while, he was able to ask to see the other party.

It wasn't until today that he knew how far apart the amiable Charles was from himself, and what kind of thing "Feihuang Tengda" really was—only after seeing the difference between a person before and after reaching the mountain, could onlookers feel these things.

But when the secretary brought him into the office, he left all these distractions behind his mind. Yan looked at the young man sitting behind the desk opposite, who was signing a piece of paper, and gave a straight military salute.

No matter how approachable the other party usually is, he is still a high-ranking official who he must respect. He already understands this.

"Mr. Treville, I'm here."

"Oh, Lucien! Why have you suddenly become so restrained! Charles couldn't help but smile a little dumbly as he watched Lucien's strict and regular movements. Did they tell you something? Don't take it personally. We are friends, how can you do this? It all makes me a little uncomfortable. ”

"Sir, it's a formal occasion, and I think I should be formal." Lucien hesitated, "After all, you're ......"

"It doesn't matter what I am, the important thing is that I don't want you to do this to me." Charles interrupted him with a smile, and beckoned Lucien to come over. "My friend, look at the way you look. It should be fine now. How is Julie now? What about Matilda? ”

"Julie is fine now, thank you for your concern. Matilda ......, "Although Lucien knew that the other party was referring to his daughter, he couldn't help but feel a sudden feeling of strangeness in his heart. "Well, Matilda is also doing well and is very healthy."

"That's great, my friend." Charles nodded, then gestured to Lucien to sit down, "Why did you have time to come to me today?" ”

"I'm here to handle some official business, so I came to see you by the way." Lucien nodded, and after hesitating for a moment, he added, "Julie also wants me to convey my greetings to you." ”

"Really? That's great! Charles was a little overjoyed, "Isn't she angry with me now?" ”

"Well......" Lucien hesitated, then nodded, "She's not angry now, that's why I asked you to say hello." ”

Charles stared at Lucien, and after a moment, couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahahaha, man, I didn't say you, you're so bad at lying! Isn't that just a sight to be? Sure enough, she's still mad at me, right? He smiled and took a sip of water, "Still, that's fine, Julie should understand, so I'll say that - she knows we like to see honest people......"

Lucien didn't know why Charles was so happy, so he let him laugh first. "Well, Charles, I should be honest with you, Julie is still a little angry with you. However, it's actually quite normal, after all, she and Matilda have such a deep relationship? ”

"Why, did she even tell you about this?" The smile on Charles' face vanished, and he looked up at Lucien.

This sharp gaze made Lucien feel a little uncomfortable, but he still nodded calmly, "Well, yes, she has already told me, but it is only for me." Don't worry, I won't sue anyone else. ”

"That's good." Charles withdrew his gaze, and although his expression did not change, Lucien clearly felt the other party's relief.

Out of concern for his friend, he couldn't help but admonish.

"Charles, I know you didn't coerce or trick Matilda, and I don't have any right to intervene in your affairs, but ...... But I always didn't think it was particularly good. Think about it, you have your bright future and a fiancée like that; Matilda has a future of her own, so why should you put your reputation and future at risk? It's too risky...... How could you be such a smart person, how could you make a mistake in such a thing? ”

"Because it's fun." Charles replied a little stiffly, and then immediately asked the other party, "Did you come here today to persuade me to leave Matilda?" ”

"Uh...... No...... No, I'm just talking about this in passing. As if to understand that Charles had made up his mind and did not want to listen to his own advice anymore, Lucien had no choice but to stop dwelling on the subject.

He could understand the other party's thoughts - although he had never thought of betraying his wife, it was not uncommon for nobles to cheat on him in this country, and besides, she was a smart and lovely girl like Matilda.

However, in that case, why didn't he propose to Matilda in the first place? Lucien couldn't help but ask in his heart, these people are really incomprehensible.

He steadied himself and reopened his mouth. "I'm here to want you to report something, something about the unit I'm in."

"Oh?" Charles looked at the other with interest. "What's the matter?"

"You also know that I am now serving in the First Division, although I don't know too many people because it has just been less than a year, but I have vaguely heard some ...... Well, some not-so-good wind. ”

Lucien was hesitant at first because of the fact that his colleagues were involved, but he soon let go of those distractions.

"Yes, I just want to say that in some of the troops, contempt for the government and lawlessness are growing like wildfire, and this is the result of the purposeful guidance of some people who seem to want to incite people against the government. Some people even openly propagandized that they wanted everyone to unite and bring down the president for the sake of the motherland......"

Lucien then told Charles exactly what had happened to him.

"That is, there are now some people in the garrison of Paris - including some officers - who are in tandem and conspire against the president and the government?" After listening to this, Charles came to a conclusion, and his expression was already very solemn.

"Although I don't want to say it so strictly, there are indeed many such signs that deserve to be taken seriously." Lucien replied.

"Take it seriously! That's right, what we're missing now is to take it seriously! Charles nodded, frowning a little in disgust, "I knew that General Shangargne was very disrespectful to the president, I didn't expect to be so impatient!" Well, sooner or later, we're going to have to purge all of his people! ”

After a moment of roaring, Charles regained his composure and looked at Lucien with a smile. "Thank you, Lucien, the situation you have reported to me is very important, and I will pass it on to the president. At the same time, please continue to pay close attention to see who is reliable and who is not, and sooner or later we will have to settle accounts with them! ”

"I will, Charles." Lucien nodded, then looked at Charles sincerely. "Charles, you and your grandfather, your Trevier family has done me so much favor, and I will do my best to repay it."

"I knew that you had always been your own." Charles walked up to Lucien's side and patted him on the shoulder. (To be continued!)
