The music is soothing, and the low saxophone permeates every corner of the living room; The dancing is graceful, and the flying skirt corners bring up a piece of style.

If it weren't for the serious face of the lovely man in his arms, Zhao Gao would have the illusion of returning to the original earth to participate in the drinking party.

"You can waltz?" On Zhao Gao's fingertips, the red lady was about to leave, and after a spin, she broke away from Zhao Gao's right hand in a perfect and natural posture.

"If the job requires it, there's nothing you can't learn." The red lady's voice was cold and hard. Ever since Zhao Gao had used threats to get their help, in her eyes, it was equivalent to an enemy who had to cooperate temporarily.

What annoyed her even more was that even though she was ready to sacrifice, the leader Li Yan chose to seek skin with the tiger after thinking about it, which was simply a mistake on the road.

Had it not been for his role as founder and the prestige he had long established in the organization, such a resolution would not have been possible.

The mood became a little more subtle and the music stopped just in time, and the dance partners, who had just hugged each other, retreated to their places after saluting. No matter how arrogant and domineering they are outside, they are all polite here, playing the role of gentlemen and ladies.

Because this is the residence of the second prince.

In this plot world, Yuan Shikai has already been proclaimed emperor, and although his eldest son Yuan Keding has not yet been crowned prince, he has already regarded himself as the successor to the throne. What's more, because he had the experience of medical treatment in Germany, he actually had a good friendship with Kaiser Wilhelm II.

The second son Yuan Kewen has no intention of political affairs, he has been addicted to eating, drinking and having fun since he was a child, and he has doubts about his father's claim to be the emperor.

Although the situation of these two people in the future is quite bleak, their status at this time is tantamount to the sky, at least among the Jingshi, there is no unsightly character who dares to refute the face of the second prince.

Maybe it's nature, maybe it's because of avoiding suspicion from the boss, there have never been any military and political dignitaries in the cocktail party of the second prince's mansion, only countless people are drunk and dreaming of death, singing day and night.

It's a special event.

After a short pause, new music starts again. This time, from the original soothing court steps to an enthusiastic tango, the red lady has been invited by a noble boy first, and Zhao Gao has received an invitation from another girl.

Zhao Gao knew at a glance that this was Cao Shixi, the second daughter of Cao Kun, one of the direct heads of the family, and was the real power faction in the Beiyang system at this time. It's not that she has a crush on Zhao Gao, to her status, dancing is just the most normal communication.

After all, Zhao Gao's status is not low - as a foreign county king canonized by the Qing Dynasty with national fortunes, in this place of wealth and blood, it is worth taking a look at.

Miss Cao's dancing skills are not bad, Zhao Gao is also a tacit understanding, and after a few words of flattery to each other, Zhao Gao and this Miss Cao said goodbye happily. Both sides are people who understand, and their friendship can only end there.

When the music sounded again, Zhao Gao finally quickly stood in front of the red lady again, bowed down and stretched out his hand, and at the same time smiled apologetically at the young man who had not had time to stand up in the back.

The red lady was quite helpless, she actually didn't want to have too much communication with Zhao Gao at all, whether it was strength or attitude, Zhao Gao brought her too much of a threat.

However, at this time, she couldn't choose to refuse, so after putting her hand on Zhao Gao's palm, she deliberately kept her distance, looking restrained and cold.

It's a little trick of hers. According to the general practice, no matter how thick-skinned Zhao Gao is, on such an occasion, it is impossible to invite her to dance for the third time.

Who knew that after countless struggles with Mai Linglong, Zhao Gao didn't bother to care about what his face was, and when he just stepped into the dance floor, he almost put his head on the red lady's shoulders with soothing music, so close that his breath could even blow the hair in the red lady's ears.

Just as the red lady couldn't help but want to push away, she heard Zhao Gao whisper in a voice that only she could hear: "I don't see it, your angle is really special." ”

Here, because of the ban on the rules, Zhao Gao didn't have the ability to urge any skill, but with the same status as the rules, he was still able to easily distinguish the different emotions of the people around him to make a judgment.

About one-third of the people present were indifferent, one-third expressed disgust, and the remaining one-third were forbearance without looking.

This means that at least one-third of the people present have accepted the new ideas advocated by the Red Lady and have accepted their ideas to a certain extent.

With very few exceptions, these people themselves have limited abilities, and most of them can only rely on the prestige of their fathers to leave a simple name in history, belonging to the characters who hovered on the edge of the power system. However, in a given time, they can accomplish far more than their later reputations.

Duan Qirui's eldest son Duan Hongye, Feng Guozhang's second son Feng Jiadi, Xu Shichang's adopted son Xu Xuzhi, Zhang Zuolin's fifth son Zhang Xuesen, and Sun Chuanfang's son-in-law Chen Tieying...... Well, and Cao Shixi, who just danced with me. ”

Seeing that the red lady was unmoved, Zhao Gao slowly moved with the music, and silently reported her name in her ear one after another, and sighed, "It turns out that the direct line, the Anhui line, and the Feng line all have your backhand." ”

Seeing that Zhao Gao had no intention of stopping, the red lady's breathing couldn't help but become heavier, and after struggling with her scattered footsteps several times, she finally fell heavily on Zhao Gao's instep.

She had already taken precautions against Zhao Gao, but what she really didn't expect was that just one random drinking party would expose most of the hidden power.

This is simply a great sin that cannot be atoned for death - at the moment when she just stepped on her feet, she actually came up with the idea of pulling out the hairpin in the middle of her hair and dying with Zhao Gao, and Zhao Gao's smiling expression scattered such courage invisibly.

The rules of the initial stage come from Zhao Gao, which is her congenital deficiency, and it is also where her life lies, whether it is from the rules or reality, if Zhao Gao is pure and evil, then she is a demon that she can't get rid of.

"They are all hopes for future freedom, please don't put more ideas on them." After taking a deep breath, the red lady's expression had turned into a pleading.

"Young people are always radical and unrealistic, they just need to be given enough spiritual food that they don't even mind giving their lives." Zhao Gao sighed inexplicably. Dedicating oneself to an ideal, how beautiful it sounds, how cruel the reality will be.

This time, though, he wasn't going to borrow too much of that power.
