The family background of those poor children is ordinary and hard, how can they have connections and wealth to be smashed on the charge of dredging crimes? So they had to bow to reality, and then disappeared in obscurity from the list of candidates who were evaluated in the political circles, and returned to the bustling crowd, confused and decadent, unwilling and embarrassed to look for a new direction with the flow of people.

Of course, that so-called 'new direction' will never again include the ideals they want to pursue in politics.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

This rule is cruel and ruthless, but it is also the most fair and just.

It allows people who hold power and wealth to get all the beautiful and gorgeous things in the world, and can enjoy many flashy and gorgeous existences, and those who are unknown and live at the bottom of the society and struggle for food and clothing are the eternal hard laborers and slaves of the bourgeoisie.

Where is the fairness? Of course, it's the law of the jungle.

There are still conspirators among the noble families, not to mention the division and annexation between the famous nobles and the plundering and possession between the bourgeoisie? The same is true of the upper class of society, and the same is true of the bottom of the society, and the common people still have to be divided into three, six, nine and so on, high and low, and the rest are needless to say.

Yun Luan can't change the entire decadent and complex political world by herself, all she can do is to do her best to shelter the Yun clan, so that the noble brilliance belonging to the Yun clan will not fall, and let the clansmen develop their careers in the shadow of the family without worry, and become the roots of the tree deep in the ground.

For the power, wisdom, and ability of the Southern Expedition, Yun Luan never had any doubts.

But she does not believe in friendships that are not maintained by interests, which is the truth that has been honed over the course of two years in politics. Nan Zheng, as a veritable prince in Xuan City, has the same dignity and glory as Yun Luan, the difference is that the Nan clan is a military family, and the Yun clan is the center of gravity of the development of a political family.

The political and military circles are at odds with each other, with the former deliberately developing a position of power, while the latter always developing a military power.

Although the Nan clan has never had a bad relationship with the Yun clan, the friendship is not very deep. The Yun clan is already famous in the political circles, and Father Yun, as an important official at the national level, has a high position and unlimited scenery: and the old general Nan, as the founding marshal of the older generation, is also very powerful and famous.

The old general Nan is actually not old, but after the baptism of bullets, wind, snow and frost, his appearance has not been favored and stopped by the years, so the view is particularly vicissitudes. He naturally wanted to match Nan Zheng, the eldest son of the Yan family, and Yun Luan, the eldest daughter of the Yun family, but if King Xiang was interested in being ruthless, he would not force the pressure, after all, the lifelong happiness of future generations belongs to them.

For this point, the old general Nan is very open-minded, he has never interfered in any emotional life of the Southern Expedition, of course, his eldest son has never had any emotional life, not to mention the self-righteousness, the whole person lives cold, like a high-speed cold machine.

General Nan had seen Yun Luan a few times at the banquet, and he had to pay a lot of attention to this precocious child who was famous in Xuan City and had outstanding talents. Yunluan's appearance, bearing, personality, and conversation are all extraordinary, just like flowers and trees piling up snow, and Qiong pressing begonias: and like peony cage smoke, breaking water hibiscus.

Such a dazzling and brilliant beauty of the country, the children of the family and the nobles at the banquet were secretly unwilling, they gathered around Yunluan elegantly and politely, chatting and laughing intentionally or unintentionally revealed their love and pursuit of Yunluan, and some of the children of the family were more straightforward, expressing their appreciation and love for Yunluan in public.

But what made them feel disappointed and throbbing was that Yun Luan politely rejected their affection without leaking a word in a few words, and took care of the faces of every child of the family and famous nobles, and did not reveal the slightest panic and inappropriateness in his words and demeanor.

Born noble, unearthly.

It's a woman like Yunluan.

At that time, the old general Nan had a full view of all the things that happened at the banquet from a distance, and he also sighed with the clansmen around him, if the Nan clan could marry such a noble and intelligent eldest lady as a daughter-in-law, then it would really be a blessing for the entire Nan clan to cultivate for several lifetimes.

The clansmen also nodded in agreement, but they looked at Yun Luan standing at the banquet from afar, the woman was too dazzling, her beautiful face and graceful and luxurious temperament were innate shining points, and her gestures revealed the Tsinghua nobility that had been carefully raised in the century-old Wang clan.

The eldest lady of the Yun clan is neither the stars at night, nor the bright moon, nor the scorching sun, she is like a galaxy flowing in the night, a shocking bright galaxy flowing together with hundreds of millions of stars.

Gentle and elegant, wise and intelligent: it can be burned like a fire, or it can be as vigorous as lightning: sometimes it reveals the youth and immaturity that is waiting to be released, and sometimes it reveals the peerless elegance of beautiful blooming. Such a beautiful Tianzi country full of contradictions is not something that ordinary men in this world can have at will.

What's more, even if they are the children of the family and the nobles, although their demeanor is elegant and noble, compared with the grace and luxury engraved in the bones of Yunluan, who proudly came out of the dust, they finally fell into the dust, and there is no point that can shine brightly.

General Nan naturally knew this, although his eldest son was also talented, and his appearance and bearing were all first-class, but this Miss Yun's light was too dazzling, and his son was afraid that he would not be able to move forward side by side with Yun Luan.

So gradually, General Nan also dispelled the idea of matching two people.

Yun Luan, Yun Luan.

This name seems to have been born for Yunluan and exists.

It wasn't until later that when a battalion of elite soldiers was on a secret mission, a bizarre annihilation incident broke out and shocked Xuan City. Zhang Tu had already prepared, and after rendering the high-sounding rhetoric in all aspects, he took advantage of this incident to split and annex the Guo family.

But General Nan Lao has been a general all his life, and he has seen countless people like Zhang Tu who are ambitious but incompetent. The first battalion, as an elite talent selected by thousands of people in the entire Xuan City, how could it be so bizarre and disappeared?

The so-called sacrifice for the country is just a nice rhetoric, and it is also an excuse for Zhang Tu to secretly plot and frame him. General Nan's methods are extraordinary, and there are countless capable people under him, and he soon quietly tracked down the suspicious places behind the destruction of the first battalion, and all kinds of clues pointed to Zhang Tu and Butterfly.

General Nan didn't need to think about it to know Zhang Tu's purpose in doing this, but there were too many people involved, so there was no way to continue the investigation for a while. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people in Xuan City, General Nan watched from the sidelines while Zhang Tu directed and acted on his own, and sent people to assist Yun Luan and others.

At first, he didn't know that Yun Luan had participated in the so-called secret mission, and when he learned that Yun Luan's name was still on the list of elite soldiers who carried out secret missions, cold sweat broke out in his palms. If the people of the Yun clan learned that the eldest lady had died in a secret mission, it would definitely cause turmoil in the entire Xuan City, and their power and reputation would be enough to track down these suspicious clues.

What will be the consequences if the family that has been breeding for a hundred years joins forces with the allied families to encircle and suppress Zhang Tu and the butterfly? General Nan didn't dare to think about it.

The answer is very simple, if the clansmen of the Yun clan really track down these clues, and then learn of the disappearance of the eldest lady, then they will inevitably make Zhang Tu and Butterfly pay a bloody price.

But the consequences of doing so will directly cause turmoil in the city, social turmoil, and turmoil in the whole country.

As an old general who came out of the rain of bullets, General Nan really didn't want the country to fall into turmoil and crisis again, and if the family and the noble family attacked Zhang Tu and Butterfly and other intricate network forces, it would inevitably cause the collapse and destruction of social order.

What kind of coveting will a stormy country suffer?

The answer is self-explanatory.

Fortunately, Yun Luan finally led Instructor Luo to escape, and when General Nan learned the news, he only felt that his heart almost burst in his chest during the ups and downs, and then he hurriedly sent people to secretly assist Yun Luan and the other three to leave the secret passage of death, and then dealt with some puppet killers who came to track after the butterflies.

In the end, he slowly guided Yun Luan and the others to find out the direction of the clues, while secretly protecting this ill-fated but tenacious and talented woman: while gradually finding out the truth behind the incident in the first battalion with Yun Luan and the others.

As the eldest son of a military family, sooner or later he will have to devote himself to the military circles to experience and accumulate contacts and power. It's just that Yun Luan and Instructor Luo chose to re-establish a battalion after escaping, which allowed General Nan Lao to seize the opportunity and kick his eldest son into the barracks to pass the selection and assessment at all levels.

General Nan's intention is very simple, that is, he wants to create more opportunities for Nan Zheng and Yun Luan to meet, so that even if the two may not be able to get together in the future, they will establish a deep friendship after acquainting with each other over time, so that for the two families of the Nan clan and the Yun clan, it will be beneficial and harmless.

Of course, if his eldest son Nan Zheng can marry Yun Luan back to the Nan clan, it will be complete, but unfortunately the old general Nan knows in his heart that his son is not the material for the ups and downs, and the love of children and daughters.

The whole person's life is like a precise high-speed machine, every minute and every second is in accordance with the self-defined plan, and there has never been the slightest deviation and slackness.

In the past, the old general Nan was proud and proud of the self-discipline and tenacity of his eldest son, Nan Zheng, and the old man's seriousness, but now he looks at his eldest son with outstanding talent, extraordinary strength, and wise mind, no matter how he looks at it, he feels quite a sense of hatred for iron and steel.

Such children can bring glory to the family, but they may not bring happiness to their future partners.

If it weren't for the fact that General Nan always believed in the saying 'children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren', I am afraid that he would have gray hair, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and he would faint directly. The elders of other families are worried about the amorous and affectionate of their excellent children, but he is good, and he is worried about his son's coldness and ruthlessness.

What's more, since he had seen Yun Luan a few times at the banquet, General Nan Lao didn't look down on the daughters of other prestigious families at all. The daughters of those shallow families can only be called 'Miss Qianjin', not 'eldest miss', because their family cannot be compared with the Yun clan.

There is only one eldest lady in Xuan City, and that is --- Yunluan, the eldest daughter born in the Yun clan.

Yun Luan's appearance, demeanor and conversation are beyond the reach of those daughters, and the difference between the two is so different that they cannot be compared at all.

After all, how can the light of fireflies compete with the sun and the moon?

Yun Luan is such an existence with the sun and the moon.

The beige thin carpet gathered gentle and faint broken shadows, Yun Luan lowered his eyelashes and stared at the changing beams of light on the thin carpet, and his words were meaningful: "Such conditions are beneficial and harmless for me, and I am a sick seedling, even if you want to do something to me, you can't, the slightest mistake will lead to a fire and implicate the entire Nan clan." ”

What will be done to you?

Am I so impressed in your mind?

No, I was in a hurry, and now I have not received your wholehearted trust and trust, and I am naturally a dangerous person, and it is natural to be suspected and warned.

Nan Zheng was painfully entangled in his heart, and after being soothed and enlightened, he raised his eyes and stared at Yun Luan's soft side face that was as white as jade: "Miss Yun, don't worry, my Nan Zheng will not do anything despicable and shameless, after all, I want to be friends with Miss Yun for a long time, how can I do anything to hurt you?" ”

How could I bear to hurt you?

After all, I like you, it's too late to pamper you.

Nan Zheng's eyes were precipitated with some emotions called 'sadness', and he stared at the distrust and defensive demeanor that was evident on Yun Luan's face, and he only felt like a knife cutting his heart. Originally, he used to laugh at it, and he didn't care about it, and the love affair is now dripping with blood from his cocoon.

If he could, he would really like to build an ornate castle full of beautiful roses and a turquoise lake where swans are perched. Thorny vines climb in front of the castle gates, and the branches covered with poisonous spikes bloom with large, evil flowers, blocking the prying eyes and coveting of anyone in the world.

Precious and rare jewels and costumes are embellished on Yun Luan's body like floating clouds, and in the castle, Yun Luan is the noble and unparalleled princess in the heart of Nan Zheng. He wants to be the king who can marry Her Royal Highness the princess, and then wear the gorgeous crown that belongs to the king on the head of his beloved queen.

The whole country exists because of Yunluan, even if he, the king, is nothing more than a loyal dog.

But......

Where does Nanzheng have the qualifications to hide Yunluan in the castle?

Although he does have the ability to build a magnificent castle for Yunluan, the clear Swan Lake, the beautiful rose garden, the glorious jewelry pavilion, and so on, the picturesque scenery will gradually be generated in the hands of the Southern Expedition, and then find thorns and poison ivy to decorate the castle gates, isolated from the prying eyes and coveted by everyone outside the world.

It's a pity that they are just familiar strangers now, and maybe they can't even talk about the word 'familiar'.

Yun Luan doubted him, guarded against him, and secretly guarded against his every word and deed, every move, these southern expeditions were clearly understood. After all, now they are just meeting each other, one side to one, and the source of the initial meeting is because of 'interests' and 'transactions', which are not beautiful existences.

Looking at Yun Luan, who was curled up in the leather chair like a cat, Nan Zheng felt more and more heartache, the complexion of the woman in front of him was very pale and fragile, her sparkling beautiful eyes were much darker under the torture of illness, and her eyes were still full of peach red because of the pain, like the peach petals that were scattered and scattered.

The lip flap smeared with golden red maple lip gloss was still bright and moving, but Nan Zheng clearly understood in his heart that if he stretched out his hand at this moment to erase that layer of maple red color, then the lip flap that was covered under it would definitely be pale without blood.

Strictly speaking, the headache of precocious children is not an incurable disease, but a soul imprint engraved in their bones. This kind of soul imprint is innate, indelible, and irreversible, and it is the price and fate that they must bear while they have the preference of talent and intelligence.

It's just that such a price is too cruel and heavy.

Recalling the young master Wen who vomited blood and died of hemoptysis, and the young lady who finally fell into brain death because of headaches, Nan Zheng only felt a chill from his back deep into the bone marrow. He used to be glad that he was not a precocious child, and he also felt some of God's preferences for him, but now he really felt the powerlessness of the precocious child.

When Yun Luan said such words that disregarded life, Nan Zheng knew that the torture and destruction of headache was consuming Yun Luan's life bit by bit. Moreover, Yun Luan herself could also sense that time was passing bit by bit, so she chose to burn her life to shield the entire Yun clan.

At the moment of being alive, investigate the truth of the destruction of the first battalion that year, and then let Zhang Tu and Butterfly pay the price of blood and pain.

Yun Luan turned her face sideways to stare at Nan Zheng's handsome and extraordinary face, and after a long silence, she finally opened her lips slightly and whispered, "I hope so." Then she tightened the blanket and looked out the glass window at the lush woods, tears twinking in the corners of her eyes.

Bright and uncertain.
