Chapter 5 A scoundrel

Caesar and General Blue, these two men, met in public in the Miracle Square. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the minds of the people in the square, these two men were the heroes of the victory of the South in the Second Civil War, and Caesar was once the successor of General Blue, but who could have imagined how delicate the relationship between the two was actually there, like a vase with a bright appearance but cracks on the inside, fragile and vulnerable.

At the same time, a manor that was far away from the Holy Miracle Square, which was close to the edge of the imperial capital, was a calm and tranquil scene, and the faint noise of the square was also blocked by the invisible barrier that enveloped the entire manor.

This is a property in the imperial capital of Earth Street, where Elaine has lived since the end of the terrible battle five days ago.

In the space of five days, a lot of things can really happen, such as General Lan very readily returning all the Earth Street forces that he annexed during the war to Elaine, and even taking the initiative to compensate many important resources and benefits very wisely. Probably he also knew how unkind he was to Earth Street during the war.

Of course, Elaine's son Xu Keng's father, who cares about the most, was also sent to Elaine as soon as possible to reunite their mother and son.

In the past five days, Elaine has basically just stayed in the manor, accompanied her son, and regained the specific affairs of the Earth Street power, which were basically left to her subordinates to do.

The only thing she did to negotiate with General Lan in person was to ask that her son's playmate, the boy named Spare Tire, also be brought to the manor.

No matter how you look at it, she is currently planning to take a break from her burden and only play the role of a good mother for the time being.

Elaine was now sitting on the terrace of the castle, leisurely sipping tea, squinting slightly, looking at the well-tended green meadow in front of the castle. Even the war didn't hurt the place.

Elaine is not alone, there is a female general sitting next to her, and the female general also has a cup of tea in her hand, and it is the favorite tea of the female general specially ordered by Mrs. Elaine.

However, the female general had no interest in moving the fragrant green tea at all, she turned her head to look at Elaine with a leisurely face, frowning slightly.

"What is the current situation in the Miracle Square, I don't need to say more, right?" the female general spoke, "Don't tell me you haven't received the news, I still know the ability of your Earth Street." ”

"I know, Caesar is awake, and General Blue is there. Elaine said lightly, paused and said, "Why don't you drink tea?" I specially ordered it to be prepared for you, try it." ”

The female general still didn't touch the tea, and her brows furrowed even deeper. She seemed to hesitate for a moment, her voice turned low, and she said slowly: "Elaine, I've known you for a long time, and the way you are now, makes me a little scared......"

"Huh?" Elaine put down her glass.

"The way you look now, it's like you've taken back the power of Earth Street, and you've been compensated enough, and then you're going to blame General Lan for the past?" the female general asked.

"You seem to be from the military department, don't you? fellow generals, you seem to want me to go to General Lan for trouble?" Elaine asked with a chuckle.

The female general's face changed, she took a deep breath, and said: "Okay, I'll just say it directly, General Lan has deliberately portrayed Caesar as a war hero in the past few days, you must know something, and his reason for doing this, if you are smart, you must not need me to say more." Now that General Blue and Caesar are facing each other in the Holy Miracle Square, I know General Blue and he will definitely do something. And you, as the one who fought all the way back from Surha with Caesar...... Don't you go to the site?"

Faced with the female general's question, Elaine replied simply but affirmatively: "No." ”

The female general was silent.

The female general looked seriously at Elaine's eyes for a long time, then the corners of her mouth twitched, as if she smiled bitterly, leaned back in her chair, sighed and said, "I thought you were on Caesar's side......"

The female general didn't say anything about the rest of the story.

In her opinion, Elaine should have changed her position, she didn't know how much compensation General Lan had done these days, so that Elaine, who had always been quite principled in her style, adopted an attitude of inaction at such a critical moment.

But just when the female general was about to leave, Elaine suddenly said: "You think too much, I haven't changed my position, I've always been on Caesar's side." It's you, which side are you on?"

Over the years, the female general has never participated in the power struggle of the military department, the political views of the two generals Long and Lan do not agree, the female general never speaks for either side, she seems to have no position.

"Strictly speaking, I'm on your side. The female general spoke, "My grandfather (marshal) and Lord Wu said something to me before entering the third level of the retreat of the True Palace, and I have always remembered it. They said that during their absence, the most trustworthy and relied on person was Mr. Xu Ziling of Earth Street. I always remember that, so I never choose between the blue and the dragon because they are not an option at all. I always remember to trust Mr. Xu Ziling's words, so I arranged for Cassadine and Green Eyes to go north with you to meet Caesar. ”

Speaking of which, in fact, many things that have not been clarified before have been clarified.

Elaine's expression became serious, and she said to the female general seriously: "Thank you." ”

She not only thanked the female general for her trust all the time, but also thanked the female general for expressing her attitude so frankly.

The female general looked at Elaine and said, "I've made it very clear on my side, so what about you? You said that you and Earth Street are still on Caesar's side, but it seems to me that if you really help Caesar, you should be on the Miracle Square by now, anyway." ”

"Do I have to go?" Elaine asked.

"I think it's necessary. The female general's tone was still relatively calm, but anyone could see that her attitude was resolute.

"What if I don't go?" asked Elaine again.

"So...... I'll go. ”

"And what if I want you not to go like me?" asked Elaine again.

The female general was silent for a while and said, "First of all, you can't stop me, although you are very strong, at most you are between you and me. Second, if you really want to stop me, then the good trust relationship that has always existed between us will probably come to an end. Grandpa asked me to trust Mr. Xu Ziling, this is grandpa's will. And I have my own will, and my current judgment is that to trust Caesar, the South needs him. ”

The servants brought a delicate snack with tea, and no matter how you look at it, the conversation between the two women is not as dark as the content of gunpowder, and the tone of their expressions is always gentle and calm, just like the scene in this manor.

"It's worthy of a female general. Elaine sighed softly, "When people talk about the great women in this world, they usually think of Zi Bing, a disciple of the northern country, even in the south, the rising star Blue Phoenix, including myself, is also in the limelight and fame above you, the general who is too low-key on weekdays." But you're really remarkable -- as a member of the military, you dare to make a judgment like 'trust Caesar' at such a moment. ”

"It's over. The female general stood up, "I have always admired you, I thought you and I would make the same judgment." ”

Elaine said: "I repeat, my position has not changed, I am for Caesar, because it is my husband's will, and I believe in my husband." ”

The female general turned around: "So, let me ask you one last time, do you want to go to the Holy Miracle Square?"

"No, because it's not necessary. Elaine said, "I watched the young man go all the way south, and believe me, Caesar didn't need us to crush him at such a time." ”

The female general shook her head and said, "Indeed, I don't know Caesar as well as you, but I know General Lan far better than you. ”

"How?" asked Elaine, curious.

"That's a ...... A real scoundrel. The female general said.

The manor was still so quiet, and beyond the barrier, the faint noise from the Holy Miracle Square seemed to have suddenly disappeared at a certain moment.

The scene on this side of the square is completely different from before.

There were still so many people at the scene, more than before to be exact, but everyone held their breath, no one cheered, no one spoke, everyone was stunned and surprised, as if they had seen something incredible.

"That guy...... At...... What are you doing?" Calm as Nuno, he was also stunned at the moment, and looked at General Lan who had already walked in front of Caesar.

General Lan is very tall, and even Caesar today is still slightly shorter than General Lan.

But now General Lan looked like a dwarf in front of Caesar, and his height was higher than Caesar's lower abdomen.

Because he is on his knees!

Just now, in front of so many people in the imperial capital and all the high-ranking military officials present, General Lan strode up to Caesar, and then ...... Kneel in public!!

Before he even knelt down, he took off his straight military uniform, which symbolized status, strength, and glory!

The two young girls, who were almost soft on Caesar's body, were stunned by this kneeling, and they didn't know how to deal with themselves, knowing that a great general who was usually worshiped by the people as a god knelt in front of them with a thud.

"I'm sorry!" General Lan began.

He lowered his head, but his voice was word-for-word enough for everyone in the square to hear.

I only heard him say bitterly and sincerely, "Caesar, I want to apologize to you today in front of everyone. I don't have the face to talk to you face-to-face until you accept my apology. ”

The two girls beside Caesar finally reacted from the fright, and they both wanted to get out of the way for a while, they didn't know what the story was between Caesar and General Blue, but they knew with certainty that they couldn't stand in front of General Lan who was kneeling!

But the two girls couldn't get out of the way, because Caesar held them firmly on their shoulders.

Caesar was probably the only person present who suddenly knelt down in the face of General Blue, without even blinking his eyelids. Under the gaze of countless astonished and shocked eyes, he stood with a big sting, and then said steadily: "What does General Lan want to apologize to me? ”
