Outside, a War Department Humvee had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Su Xuanyuan finally coming out, they quickly opened the door.
"Emperor, are you injured?"
After entering the car.
Ke Hongji said with worry on his face.
Su Xuanyuan waved his hand.
"It's okay, he's recovered."
Five years ago, in the battle at the Kunlun Mountains in the north, although he beheaded the six great gods, he himself also suffered serious internal injuries.
Internal injuries follow.
The inner demon is born from this.
As a last resort.
Only then did he put down all matters in the north.
Over the years, by traveling through the mountains and rivers of the empire and experiencing hundreds of vicissitudes of life, I finally completely eliminated my inner demons.
"Emperor, you seem to be feeling something..."
Looking at Su Xuanyuan who was sleeping silently, Ke Hongji hesitated to speak.
The eyes of several war department members around him were also full of concern.
This man.
It’s too much to carry.
From the heights, fall to the bottom.
Even members of the war department don't know their whereabouts over the years.
From being below one person to being above ten thousand people, turning into a commoner and traveling around the world, with such a huge gap, you can imagine how helpless it is.
Su Xuanyuan never opened his eyes and asked lightly:
"Tell me, what changes have occurred in the North during the years I have been away?"
Ke Hongji took the opportunity to take a report, his expression changed, and he was extremely respectful. The members of the war department around him also froze and sat more upright.
"Reporting to the Emperor, during the five years since you were absent, several senior ministers from the Imperial Cabinet have jointly advised His Majesty the Emperor and selected three alternate leaders of the Northern War Army!"
"Reporting to the emperor, two years ago, Ma Yunhua, the richest man in the empire, hoped to use 80 billion to fund the military expenditure of the Northern War Army in exchange for meeting you!"
"Reporting to the Emperor, one year ago, His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered that statues of the Northern War Army be erected in every city in the empire to commemorate the Northern War Army who sacrificed their lives in the battle of Kunlun Mountain!"
"..."
Ke Hongji still wanted to speak.
But he was interrupted by Su Xuanyuan waving his hand.
"Okay, I get it."
Ke Hongji immediately put away his watch.
In the past five years, not only the situation above the court was turbulent, but also the situation outside the court was turbulent.
"This day and this land have not changed..."
Su Xuanyuan's eyes were cold. In the distance outside the car window, the human scene and the bright lights reflected a trace of fatigue on Su Xuanyuan's face, but he sighed:
"But this person is always changing. The human heart... will always be the most unpredictable thing in the world."
Ke Hongji and others were silent, with unbearable eyes.
I knew in my heart that Su Xuanyuan had something to say.
"My condolences, Emperor..."
The man in front of me.
Under one person, above ten thousand people, he has protected the world and everything in this empire, and it has been passed down for hundreds of generations, but he has not been able to protect his closest relatives.
For the Son of Man.
Nothing is more sad than this.
"Have you checked everything?"
Su Xuanyuan said.
His voice was extremely soft, and there was no hint of anger, but it was like a winter wind blowing by, making people's hair tremble involuntarily.
"Check it out, Emperor."
Ke Hongji said respectfully:
"In addition to the shadows of the five major Jinling families behind the tragedy of the Su family five years ago, your wife...Chen Meixuan seems to have also been involved..."
Ke Hongji didn't say any more.
He clearly felt that the temperature inside the car had dropped a few points.
"knew."
But in the end, Su Xuanyuan just spit out three words.
Chen Meixuan!
His nominal wife, the Su family was still the first aristocratic family in Jinling that year, and the Chen family sent Chen Meixuan over in order to join their Su family.
…
Yangzhou is not very far from Jinling. It only takes an hour to drive there.
No sleep tonight.
At eight o'clock tonight, there will be a grand and extremely lively birthday party at Jinling Yunding Hotel. Compared with Yangzhou City, it can be said to be heaven and earth.
The protagonist is Chen Haiyang, the son of the Chen family, the top aristocratic family in Jinling today.
Many big figures from Sudu will attend.
The dinner has started for half an hour.
The hall of Yunding Restaurant is magnificent and magnificent, with the upper class gathered and greetings everywhere.
The men were in suits and leather shoes, and looked very handsome.
The women are dressed in pink makeup and elegant manners.
Su Xuanyuan entered slowly without making any high-profile move. His expression was unusually calm, but he still attracted many sideways glances.
Even if you are following behind.
Ke Hongji, who has taken off his military uniform and walks in simple clothes, also has an extraordinary aura.
"These two young men seem to have extraordinary status..."
"Especially the one walking in front, his temperament is unparalleled. No one among us Jinling youths can compare with him."
"It should be one master and one slave. It seems that they are not from our Jinling City..."
"It looks like he is from the Yanjing family in the north?"
Everyone drank and drank, and talked a lot.
Su Xuanyuan was unmoved.
I found a seat at random and sat down as if there was no one else around.
Ke Hongji beside him was still standing behind him.
Some old accounts.
It's time to pay it back.
But even though Su Xuanyuan had deliberately restrained himself, his natural aura, which gave people a super high aura overlooking the world, still made the eyes of people around him focus on him.
…
Li Manxue and his team are one of them.
There are men and women, all young people, and they all come from some small aristocratic families in Jinling. However, because of the relationship between Chen Haiyang, the protagonist of today's birthday party, they have attracted much attention from others.
They and Chen Haiyang were classmates.
Different from others.
Li Manxue felt that Su Xuanyuan's appearance was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.
"Do you think this person looks a bit like Su..."
Li Manxue just wanted to say someone's name, but felt that in this situation, anyone from the Su family had become a taboo in Jinling, so he still didn't say it.
The rest of the people's eyes wrinkled slightly, and they also had this illusion.
They always felt that they had seen Su Xuanyuan not far away somewhere.
suddenly.
Li Manxue thought of something, took out her mobile phone, opened a photo in the album, looked at it carefully, and then stared at Su Xuanyuan who was sitting not far away.
Suddenly.
Finally found something.
His pupils suddenly couldn't help but shrink.
He blurted out:
"Su...Su Xuanyuan!"
Maybe I can’t even believe it myself.
The volume involuntarily increased a bit.
When everyone around him heard this name, their eyes were startled and they were slightly dazed.
Su Xuanyuan?
Su Chengrui's son?
One word shocked thousands of waves.
What? !
This young man with an aloof aura is actually that Su Xuanyuan?
The faces of everyone around changed slightly.
They all felt that tonight was probably going to be uneventful.
This has long been a taboo that cannot be discussed in Jinling.
Everyone in Jinling City knows this.
Why did the once No. 1 family fall apart overnight?
There are not only five major families behind it.
There is also the sister of Chen Haiyang, the protagonist of tonight's birthday party. Chen Meixuan, the daughter of the Chen family who is now the top aristocratic family in Jinling and the former daughter-in-law of the Su family, cooperates inside and outside, causing trouble!
now.
Su Xuanyuan, who had disappeared for so long and was thought to have died in the army, suddenly appeared. Something was definitely going to happen!
Can……
What status can a young man who has not yet joined the army for ten years and is under thirty achieve in the war department?
Lieutenant Colonel?
Already exhausted.
How can we shake the Chen family?
Nowadays, things in Jinling have changed. It is no longer what it was back then, when the five major families were working together, and no one dared to argue about it in the world of history.
"Let's go tease him."
Upon learning that it was Su Xuanyuan, Li Manxue's expression suddenly changed, and her pretty face was full of excitement.
Some people still couldn't bear it and advised:
"Manxue, let's forget it. After all, we are still classmates. Let's stay here quietly."
The others nodded silently.
The entire Su family was like this. It could be said that the whole family was ruined. Su Xuanyuan was the only one.
If you try to step on it now, it will be easy for you to lose the conversation.
But Li Manxue sneered and said with disdain: "Why are you pretending to be saints?"
"If you don't go, I, the young lady, will go. She pretends to be serious when she comes. Does she think she is Su Xuanyuan, the same aloof young master of the Su family as before?"
In fact, everyone knows it.
When he was a student, Li Manxue once pursued Su Xuanyuan, but Su Xuanyuan never laid eyes on Li Manxue.
Women are very vindictive...
Li Manxue casually picked up a glass of red wine on the table and walked over slowly, deliberately raising her voice and saying with a face full of joking:
"Hey, isn't this the eldest young master of the Su family who pursued me back then?"
Several classmates: "..."
With a wry smile on his face.
They knew that this was not the case, but was Su Xuanyuan qualified to refute it now?
Li Manxue sarcastically said:
"Are you no longer able to survive outside and want to take advantage of this party to find someone to cling to?"
