Emu donned an olive-green military uniform, a leather pistol strap, knee-high military boots, and finally a hat.
With his rank, the military wouldn't provide him with a car, let alone someone who got in through connections.
Fortunately, Yi's privileged family background was enough to support his pretentious behavior.
The army that Yi Mu is going to is commanded by Shi Fang, who was Gu Cheng's mortal enemy more than ten years ago. Back then, when the two armies were facing off, Yi Mu almost lost everything.
Today, Commander Shi has turned his life around, and the first person he wants to deal with is, naturally, his former mortal enemy.
Yi Mu chose Shi Jiajun because he had a connection with Gu Jiajun.
Judging by the timeline, Zeng Guangzhao should already be on the front lines.
He'll be back when the winter snow melts.
At that time, what awaits him is not a beautiful woman, but a cruel human heart colder than the coldest winter.
My third brother-in-law's staff consisted of two advisors: one was responsible for drawing blueprints, and the other for devising strategies.
As for Yimu, who came later, his main job was to amuse the officers.
He asked his third brother-in-law for the position, never intending to achieve anything significant.
The wheels of history keep turning, never stopping or changing course for anyone.
Even if it's just a parallel world, Yi Mu doesn't think he can change anything.
He did not live in the barracks. Like most officers, he would report to the military headquarters on time every day when there was no war.
After work, go do whatever you need to do.
During this period, people's pastimes have become much newer than in the past.
Listening to operas, watching movies, rolling dice, and playing cards.
He indulged in a life of debauchery, smoking opium in the opium den; and spent lavishly in the brothel, surrounded by soft, fragrant women.
This was an era when the transition between the old and the new was not yet very obvious. People were secretly happy despite their poverty, and their spiritual world was greatly developed.
Every night, Yi Mu would accompany his third brother-in-law, frequenting various dance halls.
Everyone in Beiping knew that Commander Shi was a trendsetter.
His most frequented places are nightclubs, and when the mood strikes, he'll even sing a couple of new pop songs.
He changed out of his military uniform, put on a Western-style suit and leather shoes, and added a top hat and a cane, looking every bit the rich young master.
Commander Shi is quite old, but he doesn't seem to get tired at all when he dances.
Yi Mu invited a fashionable young lady, put his arm around her slender waist, and led her into the dance floor.
They were dancing a magnificent waltz, a dance that doesn't require much skill; you can almost learn it by watching for a while.
Compared to other lewd men who take advantage of their female partners during dances, Yi Mu has truly exemplified gentlemanly conduct to the fullest.
Outsiders say that Young Master Yi is a dissolute playboy, and his reputation is not good among the socialites of Beiping.
But after getting to know him, I realized that he had great respect for women, which is very rare among young men and military officers of the same type.
After the dance ended, the charming young lady invited Yi Mu to dance again.
Yi Mu saw a familiar face. He refused the pretty young lady, picked up a glass of red wine, and walked towards the deserted corner.
Gu Lanjun didn't know what her father was thinking. Guangzhao was fighting desperately for her on the battlefield, yet he had the mind to attend this ridiculous dance party.
She didn't want to come, but her father had her forcibly tied up and put in the car.
Gu Lanjun knew that her father had a lot of opinions about Zeng Guangzhao in the past two years, but she never imagined that he would do such a thing.
This ball was prepared for eligible men and women in the capital.
She already has Guangzhao, yet her father still made her come. Were all the promises he made to Guangzhao false?
