XXXV(2)
The heavy rain did not stop for several days, enveloping the entire Jinling in a heavy rain curtain, the sun hid in the clouds, and the streets and alleys were very dark. Due to the visit of the special envoy from the north, in order to show his attention, he was received by high-ranking officials in Jinling in the past few days. It's just that he caught up with such a rainy season, and there was no pastime, so Chen Muyang had an idea again, and he turned around several times, which made it difficult for the receptionists to shirk.
In desperation, he had to report to Su Huiyi, but he didn't want to see him because he was afraid of the situation between the north and the south. Staff meetings were summoned from the morning until about 3 p.m. Recently, because Su Qingyang launched an attack on the front line, Fusang had an opportunity to take advantage of it, and captured three strongholds in a row.
This meeting was mainly to draw up a new battle plan, after a few hours of meetings, the office was already smoky, Lin Ning saw the staff come out one after another, he knocked on the door and went in, and saw Su Huiyi sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette, but he looked extremely tired.
He slowed down, and then said hesitantly: "Seventh Shao, Chen Muyang has sent someone to urge him again." β
Su Huiyi rubbed the corners of his forehead and slowly spit out a puff of smoke, "It's about tonight, you go and arrange it." β
After he finished speaking, he picked up the document on the side and looked at it carefully, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Tell Gu Shiyi and let her follow." β
He thought that since the Northland had worked so hard to get involved, it made him unstoppable drumming in his heart, and for now, although the situation was gradually stabilizing on the surface, it was actually a turbulent undertide. Thinking like this, I couldn't help frowning, and turned to look out the window, the rain was continuous, like a morning mist, swirling into a ball.
The meeting was scheduled at six o'clock in the evening, and it was already five forty o'clock after Su Huiyi was busy, because it was the height of summer, the sky had not yet darkened, but the afterglow of the sunset reflected half of the sky, and the red was hidden in the rain curtain.
Walking down quickly, it wasn't until the attendant opened the car door that he saw Gu Shiyi sitting on it, and instinctively frowned, before he said, "You are very punctual." β
Gu Shiyi already knew what kind of character he was, so when she saw him cold, she didn't show any special concern, and only said, "How could I be late for such an occasion." Although she is arrogant, she still feels that she still has some atmospheric cultivation, and on such an occasion, her status is precious, so she naturally has to be punctual.
It took a lot of thought to dress up, and I dressed it up carefully, but I just caught up with such weather, and when I saw Su Huiyi's cold face, I felt bored, and I felt uncomfortable. The two of them didn't say a word, the atmosphere in the car was strange, and the cool breeze came in through the cracks in the window, which reduced a lot of depression.
This journey was so difficult for Gu Shiyi, she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at him, and saw him looking out the window expressionlessly, as if he was not affected at all, in the end, the woman couldn't hold her breath, she said coldly: "Qi Shao plans not to go home today?" β
Su Huiyi didn't want to talk to her about this, so she was silent and ignored it. She was even more angry in her heart, so she said: "Even though I treat you as a dead person, but after all, all the people of your Su family are still there, is Qi Shao sincere to embarrass me, or sincere to embarrass your family?" β
Su Huiyi said lightly: "What's so embarrassing? How can there be so many best of both worlds in this world? If you choose one, don't try to choose another, this is the principle of survival, didn't your father tell you before you got married? He turned his face to look at her, and said word by word: "To put it bluntly, it is an exchange of interests between you and me, I don't care what you do with this name, and please don't interfere with me." β
His gaze swept around her coldly, "I think the partner should be sensible and intelligent, so before I get tired of you, please recognize your identity." β
Gu Shiyi's face turned red in an instant, she had never been insulted like this, she was almost speechless with anger, and stretched out her hand to point at him, "You!" But he couldn't say a word.
She has long known that he is very clever, and she must have thought that the purpose of her marriage is not simple, but in such a marriage bound by interests, she also has a lot of helplessness, even if she is as unwilling to participate as possible, she can't get out of it.
When her eyes touched his cold eyes, she suppressed all her grievances, why did she have to explain? In front of this person who doesn't care about herself, she really shouldn't say so much.
The car was silent for a moment, except for the sound of the windshield wipers. Fortunately, the journey was not long, and the car turned a few corners to reach the Guofu Hotel, such a private meeting, but there were many foreign reporters standing at the door.
Because it was a sensitive period, the official in charge of the reception did not force them to leave. Just sent a garrison to block it, and from a distance, I saw that the sentry posts were dense, and the car drove directly to the door, Su Hui agreed, and didn't say anything, Wu got out of the car, but turned around and stretched out his hand to Gu Shiyi.
Gu Shiyi didn't have a good seizure at this time, so she handed her hand over, and the two of them walked over holding hands, and saw foreign reporters scrambling to take pictures, until she walked in, Gu Shiyi broke free from his hand, she was not such a vexatious person, but she was ignored once or twice, which made her look naΓ―ve.
Su Huiyi didn't take it seriously, went straight to the inside, the staff officer in charge of the reception respectfully led them to the box, the door was also densely guarded by garrisons, Su Huiyi went in, and saw the huge box, the floor-to-ceiling windows reflected a little gray light, looking very transparent, because the decoration is a Western-style style, in such a rainy season, it looks very comfortable.
Chen Muyang was originally sitting on a chair, but when he saw him coming, he stood up gentlemanly and said politely: "Hello, Qishao." β
Seeing Gu Shiyi behind him, he couldn't help but smile, "Seventh young grandmother, don't come unharmed." β
Gu Shiyi glanced at him and chatted with him for a few words. Because the two of them are very familiar with each other, they don't need to be polite when they speak, so after saying a few words, Chen Muyang stopped talking, looked at Su Huiyi who was sitting on the side, and said, "Qishao, I know that you have always been busy, and I dare not delay your time more." This time I came over, mainly to fight against Fusang, Nandi and Fusang have been at war for a while, but the two sides have been deadlocked, and in the long run, I'm afraid it will not be good for Nandi. β
He paused, and somehow glanced at Gu Shiyi before continuing: "I heard that the second son of the Su family is also on the front line now?" In this way, wouldn't it take more time to beat Fuso out of the south? β
Su Huiyi naturally understood the meaning of his words, so he said, "According to Mr. Chen's meaning?" β
Chen Muyang smiled, "That's the case, I came here this time because I was ordered by the marshal, he said that Qi Shao, you are now his son-in-law, the so-called son-in-law is half a son, he naturally can't watch the south fall into dire straits, so let me ask you, can you send troops over to reinforce from the north?" β
He smiled implicitly, "Qi Shao also knows that the border of the northern land is very close to the place where you are fighting, if you draw up a battle plan, this time the alliance can completely beat Fusang out of the southern land." β
Gu Shiyi couldn't help frowning, and her gaze at Chen Muyang was a little more warned. Such an occasion is not suitable for her to speak as a woman, she knows that it is inappropriate to go on like this, but she can only warn with her eyes.
Chen Muyang didn't seem to see it, he just looked at Su Huiyi with an inquiring gaze, and said: "I know Qishao's scruples, but the current situation is like this, and Gu Dashuai doesn't want to be too unkind, after all, public opinion will be very ugly." Of course, if Qishao is determined to refuse, this matter will be stopped. β
Su Huiyi was silent and didn't speak, he thought about these things, if he agreed to Chen Muyang's request at this time, he was afraid that it would be easy to ask God to send God, although the south is stable now, there is still a part of the difficulty in the deployment of troops, presumably this part has been seen through by the north, and now Su Qingyang is stirring up the situation again, in the long run, I am afraid that the south will be divided again.
He had already analyzed these pros and cons before he came, and he had already made up his mind in his heart. After thinking silently for a long time, he said, "If Beidi is willing to help, it will naturally be great." β
He paused, his eyes flashed with an elite light, "There is just one thing, about my second brother Su Qingyang, although he has left the Su family, he is still a member of my Su family." Therefore, whether the Northland sends troops or not, it cannot conflict with him. β
Chen Muyang nodded when he heard this, "This is natural. β
Seeing that everything had been decided, the heavy stone in his heart was also settled, so he raised his wine glass, "Qishao, then I wish us a happy cooperation this time." β
Su Huiyi also picked up the wine glass, and after signaling to him, he drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp. He naturally had his own considerations in his heart, and when he was in this cup, he felt that his blood was surging.
Put down the cup, turned to Chen Muyang, and said politely: "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, and if the hospitality is not good, please Haihan." β
Chen Muyang knew that this was an excuse, and he didn't force him to stay, so he got up and said politely: "Okay, take care of Qishao." β
After Su Huiyi nodded, he got up and took the military hat belt on the side, didn't look at Gu Shiyi, turned around and left.
Gu Shiyi felt that she had lost face in front of her acquaintances, and she was speechless for a while. Chen Muyang looked at her for a long time before asking, "How are you doing?" β
In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to ask. Seeing Gu Shiyi pursing the corners of her lips, she looked like she didn't care, "What's the use of saying it now whether it's good or not?" β
She raised her eyes to look at him and said word by word: "I chose the road by myself, and the people were chosen by myself, how dare I say it badly?" She smiled at him, "You're going to be okay with me." β
