Under the cover of the torrential rain and thunder, a person stood behind Gu Qingzhou and Si Mu, startling them both.

They looked stunned, and the other party was also frightened.

It's Yan Xinnong.

Gu Qingzhou and Si Mu were talking about Yan Xinong, and he suddenly appeared, and both of them were surprised.

"What are you two sneaking around, what are you doing?" Yan Xinong was also taken aback by them.

Of the four suspects present today, only Yan Xinnong was shocked when the German ** fire dealer Zorige came in.

Si Mu thought that this was an indication of Yan Xinong's weak heart.

Gu Qingzhou said that this just means that Yan Xinong is the least suspicious.

Yan Xinnong's surprise could see that he was very surprised and even worried about Zoreger's appearance. This worry was misunderstood by Simu.

As the general staff of the military government, Yan Xinnong is well-connected and well-informed, and if he pretends not to know Zoreger, he will have a ghost.

And he didn't expect Si Mu and Gu Qingzhou to interact with Zoreger, and looked at them in surprise, and he was also worried that they would be fooled by Zoreger.

His momentary surprise couldn't be faked.

After Gu Qingzhou's reminder, Si Mu also agreed with this.

Yan Xinnong is not suspicious!

“...... Amu, did you invite Zorrig? Yan Xinong didn't wait for them to answer, and looked at Si Mu with a fierce voice, "You know that he is notorious and cunning, don't be deceived by him." ”

Simu's expression was respectful.

If Yan Xinnong said such things yesterday, Si Mu would not be happy to hear it, but now he can accept it with an open mind.

Gu Qingzhou comforted him.

"Father-in-law, we didn't have any dealings with him, just multiple friends and multiple paths. Amu has studied in Germany for many years, he is fluent in German, and he also has some German friends. Zorrig was introduced by a friend, and we wanted to make friends with the Germans, so we invited him. Gu Qingzhou explained.

She was telling Yan Xinnong that Si Mu was taking a diplomatic route.

Nie Yun's incident made the junta realize that it would not work without diplomacy. Simu's move is not wrong.

Si Mu looked back at her.

She called him "Amu"!

These two words started from the tip of her tongue, inexplicably a little beautiful, and fell into Si Mu's heart.

The rain outside the corridor was noisy, but Si Mu's heart was exceptionally quiet.

Yan Xinong's face softened slightly.

He said, "You both have opinions, so I won't say more!" When dealing with foreigners, you have to be careful. Like this Zoreg, he's not a serious person. ”

Si Mu bowed: "I know, father-in-law, he is a mercenary person, I will be wary of him." Thanks for the reminder. ”

The rest of the matter, he and Gu Qingzhou knew it well, and did not tell Yan Xinnong.

Yan Xinong also sensed Gu Qingzhou's cunning.

Gu Qingzhou is a very assertive person, and she is more transparent and clever, not to mention that Si Mu, who has little social experience and is in her early twenties, is not as good as her, even if Yan Xinong is so scheming, she should be given a few points.

She knew the details of Zorrig, and she would never be deceived by Zorrig, and Yan Xinong was relieved.

"Qingzhou, you are holding a spring banquet today, in addition to winning people's hearts, don't you have any other purpose, right?" Yan Xinong suddenly asked again.

Gu Qingzhou said with a smile: "Look at what you said, father-in-law, what am I doing for a good banquet?" ”

Yan Xinong couldn't see what ideas were hidden in Gu Qingzhou's fox-like eyes, so he simply didn't bother to pay attention to it anymore and went back to the flower hall by himself.

Gu Qingzhou glanced at Si Mu with a smile.

Simoo nodded.

"The soldiers are divided into two ways, you go to Zorrig." Gu Qingzhou said.

Si Mu was not at ease: "You have to be careful." ”

Gu Qingzhou hummed.

The couple went back to the flower hall, Gu Qingzhou chatted with several noble ladies, and danced with two people.

At this banquet, seventy percent of them were high-ranking officials of the military government, and they and their families respected Gu Qingzhou very much.

Gu Qingzhou doesn't have many words, but he can be stretched and practiced, so that people can't be underestimated.

Then, Li Ming'an, the commander of the Second Division, invited Gu Qingzhou to dance.

He is also one of the suspects.

Gu Qingzhou wore white gloves with satin buds and put the cool and soft silk into Li Ming'an's palm.

"What are you doing with the station these days?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

"The camp recently received a new batch of cannons, which were purchased by the Overseers last year and are now being rehearsed." Master Li said, "Young lady, if you are free, how about going to the army to take a look?" ”

Gu Qingzhou smiled: "I'm worried about affecting morale, after all, I'm going to wander around with nothing to do." ”

Li Ming'an knew that the Overseers had given all the seals to Gu Qingzhou.

It's okay to have nothing to do now, if you want to transfer troops to start a war, the first one needs Gu Qingzhou's approval.

Li Mingan felt that it was necessary to please Gu Qingzhou.

"Young lady, don't be modest! You're scheming, you're smart, and the Overseers trust you, so why are you messing around? Li Ming'an said.

Li Mingan even said, "I hope that the young lady understands some military affairs." If it's convenient for you, I can teach you. You have learned about military affairs, and you can also help the young marshal and the overseer with ideas about what will happen in the army in the future. ”

This Li Ming'an really trusts Gu Qingzhou very much!

Si Mu's case, Li Ming'an followed him to Shanghai at that time, he still remembers this matter vividly, and every time he thinks about it, he feels enthusiastic!

The lawsuit that was bound to be lost, Gu Qingzhou turned defeat into victory in a flash, what the overseer and others thought Li Ming'an didn't know, anyway, Li Ming'an revered Gu Qingzhou!

"You're exalting me too much." Gu Qingzhou said with a smile.

As they spoke, the lights in the flower hall suddenly flickered.

After a few flashes, the lights went out.

There was immediately a bit of chaos in the flower hall.

"What's going on?" Gu Qingzhou asked loudly. Her voice is very penetrating. Underneath her pitch, the other voices were silent for a moment.

An adjutant came in with a gas lamp.

"Young lady, I'm investigating, maybe the safe box of the electric box is flooded, look at the weather!" Adjutant said.

"Fix it!" Gu Qingzhou said.

Adjutant said yes.

Through the back window of the flower hall, you can see a small house on the west side.

The whole night sky was silent, and the night curtain was like a silk cloth, enveloping everyone, and the black was so thick that it could not be dissolved.

The room with the electrical box was lit up a lot of lights at the moment, and the adjutants were coming in and out, which was particularly obvious.

Gu Qingzhou stood in the darkness and glanced at everyone.

Her eyes adjusted to the darkness, and she vaguely saw that many people were looking in the direction of the electric box, and the corners of Gu Qingzhou's lips had a faint arc.

"Well, the first move was good." Gu Qingzhou thought to himself.

Seeing that everyone was all looking at each other, Gu Qingzhou was quite satisfied.

She just wants everyone here today to know where her electrical box is.

This is a crucial step.

"I wonder what's going on over there?" Gu Qingzhou pondered.

In just three or four minutes, the electric gate was repaired, and sure enough, the fuse box had some water in it, and it was electrocuted, and the adjutant replaced it with a brand new one.

"I'm sorry to spoil everyone." Gu Qingzhou said apologetically.

Everyone didn't dare to complain, and said, "Rain is inevitable." ”

"It's pretty fast."

"Young lady, your gas lamp is good, where did you buy it?"

The flower hall is lively again.

Gu Qingzhou and Li Ming'an said goodbye, and she went to find Mrs. Yan and others.

At the same time, Si Mu, who was standing in the room, got up and put out the gas lamp.

When the power went out, the adjutant brought in a gas lamp.

In addition to Simoo, there is also the German Zorrig.

Simu said to Zoreger, "I have signed and sealed the contract, but I have recently learned that the iron mine is in charge of my father's personal guard, and his seal is needed. ”

He showed Zorrig the contract.

Zorrig's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart that he had succeeded in his plan.

"With your seal, it's enough. As for iron ore, I'm sure you have your own way. Zorrig said.

He reached for it.

That's when the power went out.

This power outage, Simu held the contract and did not give it to Zoreger.

When the adjutant came in with a gas lamp, Si Mu hesitated slightly.

He talked to Zoreg about some more details.

Zoreg understood: Si Mu dared to sign, which means that he had convinced his wife that this matter was a certainty, and he could not anger Si Mu before.

Zorrig was not in a hurry, and chatted with Simu slowly.

Or rather, all Zoreg needs is this contract from Simoo.

With Simu's signature and seal, the plan is complete, and as for what Zoreg can get, then there is no need to worry about Simu, anyway, it is more than the reward for working with Simu.

"Otherwise, I'll think about it again!" After the power was turned on again, Si Mu changed his mind again.

Zorrig's face was gloomy.

The boiled duck is flying again!

Zoreg also lost patience: "Young marshal, I've been waiting for you for a long time. You know, you're making a profit. If you don't do it, I'll find someone else to do it, don't delay me. ”

Simour was silent.

"That's it, I'll think about it for two more days, and I'll give you an answer the day after tomorrow!" Smoothie.

Zorrig watched him put the papers in the drawer and lock it again, a little sullen.

At this time, the adjutant came to Si Mu: "The young lady asked, where did the young marshal go, and has the matter been discussed?" She said she was waiting to dance with you. ”

Si Mu said: "I'll come right away." ”

He invited Zoreg out and returned to the Flower Hall.

Zorrig's heart fluttered slightly.

At this time, Zoreg had lost all his patience, and he had a plan in his mind: that contract, Si Mu had signed and sealed, and Zoreg could steal it!

Anyway, Zoellig got the contract, just to sell it to the newspaper and frame Si Mu for betraying the country, not really doing business, and he didn't need Si Mu's consent.

Zorrig was a few steps behind Simu.

Si Mu walked up to Gu Qingzhou.

"I've got it done here." Gu Qingzhou whispered to him, "Father-in-law, Li Ming'an, Zhou Chengyu and Huang Cheng, they all know where the electrical box is. Not only them, but also the other guests knew. ”

Simoo was satisfied.

Zorrig saw the file too. Si Mudao, "I signed and stamped, and he was very tempted." ”

Gu Qingzhou bowed.

At this point, the net is cast, and now it is waiting to be closed.

For the next half hour, Gu Qingzhou and Si Mu were on the dance floor, dancing with each other and other guests, never leaving everyone's sight.

At half past nine in the evening, all the music of the banquet was over.

"It's about to start." Gu Qingzhou said in a low voice.

Simu's head.
