Jiangning Hotel is the best hotel in the provincial capital. Today, its grand banquet hall is filled with celebrities. It is a grand ball held by Wang Qiande, Director of the Provincial Government, to welcome General Lu Ming from Montenegro.
Although General Lu was young, the empire was in civil strife. Thanks to his foresight, Jiangning maintained a stable situation, while other provinces in the south of the Yangtze River experienced more or less unrest.
In Jiangdong Province, one of the five provinces, chaos broke out in the provincial capital. After the governor's residence was attacked by the mob, the governor fled in panic. He has been staying in his hometown in the western state and has refused to return. He was used to a comfortable and luxurious life and was probably frightened by the horrific scene that day. He was afraid to experience it again. Now many places in Jiangdong Province have begun militia autonomy, and the provincial capital has been taken over by the General Police Department. The situation is extremely chaotic.
After visiting all the nearby provinces, Jiangning is the only one with the best scenery.
General Lu is the main contributor to stabilizing the current situation.
Moreover, he guarded Heishan, the gateway to Jiangning, and intimidated the warlords in northern Jiangnan. He had extraordinary courage at a young age.
There is also a saying that he is a relative of the imperial family, his brother-in-law is the Grand Duke of Falkland, a true royal relative, and he came here for experience.
The imperial capital is in such chaos that the news coming in every day is different, true and false, and rumors are flying everywhere.
Most of these celebrities and gentry in the provincial capital have large families and powerful businesses. They are most afraid of chaos in the world and are worried every day. Now they all want to find out the real situation in the imperial capital from General Lu.
Therefore, today's welcome ball was extremely enthusiastic. All the celebrities from the provincial capital who could come came, and tickets were hard to come by.
General Lu is indeed very mysterious. You can tell by looking at his wife. You can tell at first glance that she is a Western noble lady. She has received strict aristocratic etiquette training since she was very young. She is elegant and dignified at a young age, and it is obvious that she has just got married. As expected, a newly married Western princess is just like a child. She speaks in a childish voice, is cute, and beautiful. Any beautiful adjectives are not excessive to describe her.
Those who are lustful and have special fetishes will be even more salivating. Of course, they dare not show any expression, let alone look at her too much. They can only envy her in their hearts. No matter how rich and powerful they are, they can never get such a little princess even in their dreams.
However, this little princess is only the fifteenth wife of General Lu, but she has no idea that General Lu’s other fourteen wives are such incredible fairies.
…
There was warm applause. General Lu and the little princess on the dance floor were the focus of everyone's attention. Everyone stood on the periphery and applauded when the dance ended.
When the couple Kang Li walked out of the dance floor, many people wanted to go up and talk to them, but they saw that Wang Qiande and his wife Liu had already gone to greet them, so the rest of the people could only watch and sigh.
"Commissioner Lu, how do you feel about coming to the provincial capital this time?" Wang Qiande said with a smile.
Unlike before, Wang Qiande did not call Lu Ming "Qianxing".
Lu Ming smiled and said, "It looks like all businesses are thriving and not affected at all. It seems that Brother Wang's recent actions have been very effective!"
Over there, Mrs. Liu took Jennifer's hand and went to talk to her side. She seemed to like this pretty and lovely little princess very much.
"What's the situation with Gao Baoshan and Cheng Dasui? How's the battle going now? The news I get is always delayed." Wang Qiande asked with a smile, seeing that there was no one around.
"The war is quite intense now, but Gao Baoshan suffered a great loss in the early stage. Cheng Dasui did not dare to make a concerted effort because our Black Mountain Brigade deliberately mobilized and intervened." Lu Ming smiled, "In fact, if we ask Governor Chakson to invite the two to Jiangning City for peace talks, they may not come. If we take a high profile, it will also improve the status of our province in the surrounding provinces. The current situation is a bit chaotic. We can't just look at Jiangning. If the surrounding areas become chaotic, it will also affect the people's livelihood in our province. The unrest may not affect Jiangning." After a pause, "In the five provinces of Jiangnan, I think the resentment of the poor against the inequality between the rich and the poor is extremely deep. If someone raises their arms and calls for action, it will be hard to say, so we must also make changes ourselves."
Wang Qiande looked at Lu Ming with a strange look in his eyes and nodded: "That's right, brother!"
At this time, a secretary wearing gold-rimmed glasses quickly walked up to Wang Qiande and whispered something.
"The Governor wants to see you now." Wang Qiande smiled slightly: "It seems that my brother is very important in the Governor's heart."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go say hello to all the local people."
Wang Qiande nodded and watched Lu Ming walk over and shake hands with everyone one by one, as if he was saying sorry.
The strange look in Wang Qiande's eyes became even stronger.
…
It was almost midnight when Lu Ming and Jennifer came into the small banquet hall of Jiangning Hotel.
Just came back from meeting Governor Chuckson.
In the small banquet hall, Wang Tianyi, Zhou Shixiong and several other young men and women were waiting.
"Sorry, I'm late!" Lu Ming bowed with both hands.
Wang Tianyi and the others said it was okay and called Jennifer sister-in-law, which made Jennifer's face blush.
"You must be sleepy. Go back to sleep first." Lu Ming whispered to Jennifer. This girl has always had a very regular life. She goes to bed before nine o'clock and gets up after five o'clock. She has been like this since she was a child. Now she looks really tired. Although she is trying hard, she still can't help yawning.
After hearing what Lu Ming said, Jennifer shook her head and snuggled up to Lu Ming, not wanting to leave for even a second.
Lu Ming just laughed. While chatting with Wang Tianyi and others, Jennifer dozed off from time to time with her little head down.
Thinking that if the little girl remembered how humiliated she was tomorrow, she would probably cry for a long time, Lu Ming smiled at them and said, "It's too late. How about this? You guys go to Montenegro to play in a few days."
When Wang Tianyi and others saw this "uncle" again this time, they felt completely different. It was as if they were getting along with an elder at home and they felt very uncomfortable. But now they felt as if they had been pardoned and respectfully sent their uncle back to his room to rest.
…
The little girl was really sleepy. She had said she was going to change her clothes and wash up, but after waiting for a long time, she still didn't come out of the bedroom. Lu Ming went in and saw her, and couldn't help laughing. Jennifer was lying on the bed. He could imagine that when she was taking off her clothes bit by bit like a naughty child, she couldn't help but fall asleep.
Lu Ming walked over, picked her up and laid her down, then took off her shoes and socks. Looking at her cute little snow-white feet, he coughed, then took a thin blanket and covered her with it.
After looking at Jennifer for a while, Lu Ming turned around and went into the study.
Yu Luan was sorting out the telegrams she had just received and handed one over. "Master, I'm from Nanping."
It was a telegram sent by the representative group that was negotiating with Gao Baoshan in Nanping.
It said that Gao Baoshan had agreed in principle to sign the "Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation between the Montenegro Region and the Nanping Region."
The treaty consists of twenty-one articles.
Lu Ming looked at it slowly and was suddenly stunned. Twenty-one
Then he burst into laughter.
