Chapter 372 Life in the Republic of China during the Chaotic Era 31 He who knows current affairs

is a hero, this sentence is very applicable to Gu Wentian.

Gu Wentian's bowing was a great merit, saving the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers.

Peng Hengzhang incorporated his forces, but did not treat him unfairly.

Beiyuan still has only one marshal, Marshal Gu, but at the same time there is one more commander Peng.

Unification is a trend, and it is a good thing in the long run. It is reasonable to celebrate.

The celebration banquet was held in J City, but now this place is not the Gu family's territory.

After many years, Jiang Lan returned to this place again, and she couldn't help but think of the past.

In fact, it's not just her, those street children are also full of emotion.

"This place is really nostalgic."

After fighting several battles, Zhang Xiaoyu has become more mature and stable than usual. As he grows older, he has become more and more manly.

He is now the head of a regiment, and the youngest head of the Peng family army.

This speed of promotion makes many people wonder if he is the illegitimate son of Commander Peng, otherwise how could he be so respected.

At the celebration banquet, the mysterious Miss Jiang finally revealed her true face.

She is younger and more beautiful than everyone imagined, but also colder than everyone imagined.

Consultant Tian looked at Jiang Lan for a long time, but the other party still looked calm, neither shy and avoiding, nor angry and dissatisfied, as if his gaze had nothing to do with her.

This Miss Jiang is really something, her mentality is very stable.

"So this is the famous Miss Jiang. This is the first time I've met her. Miss Jiang, I want to toast you with this glass of wine. You have made great contributions to our Commander Peng."

Before Jiang Lan could say anything, Peng Hengzhang immediately came out to stop him from drinking.

"Miss Jiang is not convenient to drink, so I will drink this glass for her. Miss Jiang has made an indispensable contribution to my success today. She can even be considered the first contributor."

These words are not compliments, but are real.

Peng Hengzhang has recalled their first encounter countless times. How could he have thought at that time that such a beggar could have such amazing talent.

"Commander Peng is polite. This is what I should do. There are many good horses, but there are few good horse trainers. Jiang Lan will remember the commander's kindness in his heart."

Looking at the harmonious relationship between the two, Gu Hengzhang glanced at his son.

Gu Muzhen was like a fool at the moment, staring at Jiang Lan blankly, no one knew what was going on in his head.

This kid, he embarrassed himself outside.

Consultant Tianhen kicked him with a fierce look, signaling him to be more restrained and not to commit his old lustful habits in public.

Today is different from the past. Miss Jiang is not like those women outside, and she is not someone that a has-been young marshal like him can offend.

A high status naturally has many conveniences, at least no one present dared to persuade him to drink.

After Jiang Lan ate something casually, she left early and returned to her room. This kind of social scene was not very suitable for her.

Who knew that after she stood up, Gu Muzhen also stood up with an excuse.

Jiang Lan walked forward, and Gu Muzhen followed behind, and he didn't make a sound.

"Marshal Gu, do you have something to do? Why are you following me?"

Gu Muzhen's eyes were filled with confusion. He asked, "Miss Jiang, can you answer a question for me?"

"Marshal Gu, you might as well speak directly."

"Why is it Commander Peng... Peng?" Gu Muzhen almost called him by his name.

"Marshal Gu, do you think this is strange?"

Gu Muzhen always thought that there was an unspeakable relationship between Miss Jiang and Peng Hengzhang. The best weapons in the world to tie a woman are feelings and children.

But after observation, he found that there was no ambiguity between the two, only respect.

A man and a woman, who have worked together for so many years and trusted each other for so many years.

It turned out to be just a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates. How could this be possible?

Gu Muzhen didn't want to believe it, but that was the fact.

He has been involved in the love world for many years and can see through the intimacy between men and women at a glance, but he really doesn't understand what the relationship between the two of them is.

"Why? Why can't the Gu family do it?"

If it's not for love, why must it be Peng Hengzhang?

"Marshal Gu, if one day your beloved woman is kidnapped and you need to lead troops to rescue her, and at the same time the city you are guarding is attacked by the enemy, what will you choose?"

Gu Muzhen blurted out: "Of course I will guard the city."

"Really?" Jiang Lan laughed sarcastically, "Is this what Marshal Gu really thinking?"

Gu Muzhen couldn't figure out Jiang Lan's true intention for a while, so he explained again,

"Whether to rescue depends on who the other party is. If it is someone like Miss Jiang, I would rather die with a city than find a way to save you."

Jiang Lan nodded, "I believe this."

Gu Muzhen still didn't understand what she meant, and asked again: "Does this have any inevitable connection with Miss Jiang's choice of Commander Peng?"

"Because Commander Peng will choose the people of this city no matter what, even if the person who was kidnapped is me, Jiang Lan."

Because this is the mission of the military, and they should do their job.

The mission of the soldiers is to guard the city and the people, and they will not retreat even if they fight to the last second.

"Miss Jiang, to be honest, I don't understand what you mean."

"There is no need to understand. Maybe it's the sin you did in your previous life, Marshal Gu."

Gu Muzhen in his previous life might really be a romantic. He would rather give up the Gu family's base camp to rescue his beloved woman. What a great love.

Jiang Lan curled his lips and smiled, and his smile was somewhat meaningful.

Gu Muzhen suddenly felt a little cold on his back, and his whole body was soaked with panic.

Su Xinru is now doing volunteer work to accumulate merits and atone for her sins, and Gu Muzhen will soon be too...

"Miss Jiang, can't we cooperate? No matter how good Commander Peng is, he is much older than you. Don't you think about yourself?"

"Thank you for your concern, Marshal Gu. Jiang Lan does not intend to consider anything else. I will take my leave first."

Jiang Lan did not know where Gu Muzhen got the confidence from. He felt that he was better than Peng Hengzhang and was really a top-level player among ordinary men.

Gu Muzhen looked at Jiang Lan leaving and felt very aggrieved.

When the Gu family was in power, these people did not have such faces.

Now that a woman is on the list of Peng Hengzhang, she is so arrogant, hum!

Gu Muzhen became more and more angry. He snorted coldly and left with his sleeves flicked.

At this time, he had no idea that his every move was seen by someone, who then went to Peng Hengzhang to report him.

Peng Hengzhang naturally trusted Jiang Lan. After all, the foundation of their cooperation over the years was not built on a foundation, and half of his kingdom was obtained by relying on her.

But the more he trusted Jiang Lan, the more he hated the ungrateful Gu Muzhen.

He was still a little afraid of Gu Muzhen, the second-generation rich man. He

actually dared to pry into Peng Hengzhang's corner, and he didn't even take a piss to reflect on his own bad behavior.

He likes open conspiracy, but it doesn't mean he won't be cunning. To play tricks with him, this young marshal Gu is really naive.

Peng Hengzhang whispered a few words to his confidant, and soon the people below went to make arrangements.

Everyone was smiling at the banquet, but who could have known the undercurrents?
