"Really...... Is that you?" Caesar looked stunned. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

General Lan smiled and said calmly, "Let's sit down first." ”

Caesar hesitated, then said nothing, and sat down honestly on the couch across from his desk.

To be honest, Caesar was surprised and nervous. He didn't expect that the person in charge who was mysterious in the minds of the soldiers in the war zone turned out to be General Lan, the head of the three generals!

I thought I would receive General Long's final disposition notice, but I didn't want to be called here by General Lan, who was actually the head of the Alcana Theater.

So, it will be General Lan who will make the final arrangements for himself next?

......

......

"Don't ask me, I said, I really don't know what will happen to Caesar?" Long Qiqi looked at the forest girl in front of her with a wry smile, and said with a sigh.

Caesar, who was under house arrest, was not allowed to have contact with anyone unrelated, and naturally included pity.

In fact, on the way back to the imperial capital from the Arcana, Pity was not allowed to meet Caesar, Long Qiqi was more careful, and specially sent someone to take Pity to his home.

The poor who hasn't seen much of the world is of course full of anxiety now, and Long Qiqi has done everything she can.

She tries to plead with her father and grandfather, but is told that Caesar has been summoned by General Blue to meet at the True Palace.

Long Qiqi looked at the poor pale and anxious little face, and couldn't bear to tell her the news, because in Long Qiqi's opinion, General Long personally handling this matter would only be worse than having his grandfather handle it.

Everyone knows that General Lan is the toughest, fiercest, and most aggressive person in the Empire......

Long Qiqi felt very powerless in her heart, in fact, this feeling of powerlessness has been with her for many years.

In the eyes of outsiders, she is the granddaughter of the general, the owner of the rare Qingshen physique, and the most talented and potential person among the younger generation of the empire, and is often compared to the third princess of the forest clan, Nono.

But Long Qiqi's own true feelings are not like this.

She's just an ordinary girl who can't control her own destiny.

Long Qiqi hated this feeling of helplessness, and also hated the feeling of seeing Caesar unhelped, the experience of Alcana had unconsciously left a deep impression on the girl's heart, and her sense of Caesar was no longer the kind of hysterical complaining that the other party would not help her.

In Long Qiqi's mind, if it weren't for Caesar, he would have died in Alcana a long time ago, and there would be no accident.

At last she thought about it, gritted her teeth and seemed to have made up her mind, and said to the pitiful, "Wait a little longer, I'll go to Caesar's teacher and ask about the situation, okay?"

Long Qiqi actually doesn't know much about Phoenix.

But one thing is certain, that is, Phoenix has a close relationship with General Blue, is General Blue's most proud protégé, and is even regarded by many people as General Blue's future successor.

However, in fact, before Long Qiqi went to find Phoenix, Cassadine had already done so, and the two were in a café on Earth Street in the imperial capital at this time.

"Caesar's boy is really a little bad this time?" Cassadine had a panda eye on his head, which he had been beaten up for resisting when he was taken away by the guards of the Wind and Thunder Hall, making him look a little happy.

However, Cassadine, who has always attached importance to his image in front of the phoenix, didn't care so much at the moment, and just said with a gloomy face: "I heard that he was summoned by General Lan just now? What do you think General Lan will do with him?"

After speaking, he looked at the phoenix in front of him, but saw that the other party didn't react at all, just drank a cup of coffee that had already been seen.

"Hey, I'm asking you, I'm going to hear back......" Cassadine said with a sigh.

"Honestly, I ...... I don't know. Phoenix said.

"What do you mean I don't know?" Cassadine frowned, "Aren't you a student of General Blue?, he has high expectations for you, everyone in the upper echelons of the empire knows it, you should be the closest person to her, you don't know who else knows?"

There was a rare hint of confusion in Phoenix's eyes, and he whispered: "The general may be the person who knows me best, but in fact, no one really understands the general, let alone me, the general's wives, those pillow people, who knows him? In fact, I have never been able to figure out what the general is going to do." ”

Cassadine couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, and finally he raised his hand a little irritably and shouted: "Two more cups of coffee, the strongest!"

......

......

The upper echelons of the empire knew that General Lan had personally summoned Caesar.

But like Cassadine, Phoenix, and Long Qiqi, no one knows what General Blue will do. Not to mention the colonels, in fact, even General Long and the female general can't guess this. Both generals did not say anything for the time being, and it seemed that it was tacit that General Lan would make the final decision on Caesar's affairs.

In the office on the second floor of the Hall of Reality.

Caesar looked at General Lan and waited quietly for the other party to speak.

General Lan didn't seem to be in a hurry, but patiently made himself a cup of tea, and then handed Caesar a cup too, and then sat down in front of Caesar, not looking like he was going to interrogate or pronounce a sentence at all, as if he was drinking afternoon tea with his subordinates and chatting casually.

"I heard that your reaction in the deliberation hall was very excited?" General Lan took a sip of tea, then looked at Caesar and smiled.

Caesar nodded, "Yes." ”

General Lan's smile was even stronger, and he said: "Phoenix often tells me that you are excellent, I used to be somewhat unimpressed, but now I finally understand why she is so optimistic about you." You're a lot like her. ”

Caesar didn't know that General Long had made a similar emotion in the Hall of Wind and Thunder this morning, and he didn't know how to respond to this sentence, so he had to remain silent.

At this time, General Lan slowly restrained his smile, and then he put down his teacup, looked at Caesar and said, "Regarding disobedience, I want to tell you that you have indeed done something wrong. ”

"Huh?" Caesar looked up.

General Lan calmly continued: "I made the identity protection plan, and in the eyes of many people, what I made is perfect, but I know very well that the plan was not perfect, in fact, nothing in this world is perfect, is it?"

"So what do you mean—?" Caesar was a little confused.

General Lan said: "What I want to say is very simple, you don't want to participate in the identity protection program again, it's totally fine, even if some colonels think you are too arrogant, the final decision-maker is me, and I agree with it." Caesar, you're wrong this time. You are too young to understand how a case of blatant disobedience can have on a discipline-based military system. ”

"To put it simply, if the military department were to deal lightly with your blatant disobedience this time, or even a fight with an imperial non-commissioned officer, because of your value, what would the other soldiers think?"

"The fairness and justice that the Imperial Military Department has always adhered to has become a vain. ”

Caesar originally thought that General Lan was a very unsympathetic person, after all, it was rumored that General Long was a gentle ****, and General Lan was an absolute hawk.

However, after listening to General Lan's words, Caesar felt that the sense of wrongs in his heart had diminished a lot.

General Lan's tone was very flat, not condescending from those colonels, but like a patient instruction to one of his juniors.

For a moment, Caesar even felt the urge to cry.

He scratched his head and whispered, "Understood." Also, that...... Thank you. Then Caesar hesitated and asked, "But why are you telling me this?"

General Lan said: "First, to make you aware from now on, you must understand how important you are, and because you are important, you can't easily do impulsive things." On the other hand, I hope you don't have any trouble with the military department because of this incident. You said in the deliberative hall that these old guys in our military department are treating you as a tool, not a person, right?"

Caesar did not know how to answer.

General Lan didn't mean to let him answer, and continued: "I admit that there must be many colonels of the empire who think this way, but General Long is not such a person. If I'm not mistaken, if I don't intervene this time, and he makes the final arrangement, you won't be killed, you won't be sentenced to life imprisonment, you will only be punished like all Imperial soldiers who disobey military orders. ”

Speaking of this, General Lan sighed and said: "I know General Lan too well, he will only do things according to the rules, in other words, you don't need to react so much." Of course, even if I personally intervene in this matter at present, the punishment and punishment for disobedience will still be issued as usual, and I can't do anything about this. ”

“...... What about you?"

Caesar suddenly asked, "You said that many colonels regard me as a tool, and General Long seems to be stern, but in fact he will still act impartially. So, what about you?"

General Lan was silent for a moment, and then his eyes slowly changed, no longer as plain as water, but revealing a spirit like a fierce beast.

"To be honest, I'm different from General Long, and the colonels who are loyal to me, or loyal to General Long. General Lan said, "I just said a lot of things, you probably feel that I am good to you, but in fact, I also think that you are a tool of the empire to a certain extent, not only you, the colonels of the empire, including me, but also the generals of the empire, in fact, all have the element of tools, as a part of this huge empire, contributing their own strength." ”

"So—?" Caesar stared at the other.

"Therefore, I will not ask about the punishment for your disobedience, General Long can judge how he should judge, whether you accept it or not, you have to accept it. This is one of them. ”

Caesar nodded, in fact, as long as it is not a life imprisonment, secret erasure or the like, only a fair punishment for the rebellion, Caesar can accept it.

"The second point is why I'm really looking for you today. ”

General Lan looked at Caesar and said, "Many people think that the phoenix will be my heir, but in fact, it is not, there are other arrangements for her. And you, before that, my judgment of you is only a key figure in the opening of the Dragon Road this year, and maybe add a 'one'. But if you can pass my test, you will be qualified to be my future successor. ”

When Caesar heard this, he was not in a hurry to rejoice, but vaguely guessed what the so-called test was.

Sure enough, I only heard General Lan say at the end: "I will appoint one person, level fifteen." And what you have to do is to raise him to the twelfth level in half a year, and then defeat him in front of all the upper echelons of the empire. ”

"Caesar, you must know that after General Long punished you, this matter of your disobedience is not over. General Long's heart is actually relatively soft, and his punishment will make many hardline colonels of the empire unconvinced, and will make them doubt you as a candidate for the trial after the opening of the Dragon Road this year. And I don't like that. ”

"So, I'm giving you this opportunity, you can shut up all the people who really question you in the storm and thunder deliberations, and actually look down on you in their hearts. Let this incident be closed in the true sense of the word. ”

"Can you?"
