Chapter 42 Charlotte

He sighed softly, his fingers pounded rhythmically on the desk table, and Wufeng's eyes moved to the bottom of the map again. The yellowish yellow color representing the Maqi Khan seemed particularly dazzling. Yuejing, Jemelo, and Ankun had all fallen into the hands of the Maqi Khan, and South Ronesia was also under the control of the Maqi Khan. If Lin Guoxiong had not taken the lead, I was afraid that the Northern Ronesia would have fallen into their hands. But even so, the cunning Maqi Khan still successfully broke into a nail in Northern Ronesia, and Kanten City had become a bridgehead for the Maqi Khan.

Wu Feng was a little confused. If this situation continues, it may be quite dangerous for Huanggang Jiujiang in the north of Wuhu County and Wenning Baling in the south. The entire Wuhu area has only two regular armies in the imperial Empire, plus the 30,000 Taiping Army recruited. It is almost impossible to resist the Maqi Khan and Taiping Army attacked from the north and south. Especially the Maqi Khan in the south have already captured the southern areas of Wenning and Baling, and the Sixth Legion retreated without fighting. The imperial army seems to have developed this fine habit, and it is frustrating.

Fortunately, the naval fleet was said to be smart and retreating to Dongting Lake and Han River at once, which could contain a lot of power of Maqikhan. Otherwise, Wen Ning and Baling would have fallen long ago. However, it is impossible for the navy to recover the decline alone. At most, it will delay the deterioration of the war. If Situ Jun was smarter and fully utilized the maneuvering assault role of the naval fleet and cooperated with the counterattack of the two legions, it would be said that things would still be possible to reverse. Thinking of this, Wufeng couldn't help but think about it.

The bright lights reflected the figure of my lover on the window. Although the weather had become warmer, it was still a little cool at night. After gently pushing open the study door, the girl silently sent a lotus seed to Wufeng, who was obsessed with the map and information on the desk, she couldn't bear to disturb the other party, so she turned around and wanted to leave.

"Lotti." Wufeng looked up and saw the figure of a girl who was about to go out, and couldn't help but call him.

"Is there anything else for the young master?" Charlotte turned around and asked with a calm expression.

"Can't I talk to you if I'm fine?" Wu Feng smiled slightly, walked around the desk, and walked over. A cool breeze outside the door made Wu Feng's slightly drowsy head wake up a lot, "Can you accompany me out for a walk?"

At this time, go out for a walk? Charlotte raised his beautiful long willow eyebrows in surprise, as if he wanted to object to the proposal, but when he saw the other party's earnest gaze, he shrank back when he spoke, nodded silently, and expressed his agreement.

Seeing that the other party agreed to his invitation, Wufeng was much happier. He threw down the pencil in his hand, stretched his waist, pulled up the other party's jade wrist, and wanted to go out.

The girl was shocked, subconsciously struggled hard and broke free from Wufeng's hand. However, her eyes immediately slipped around, her face flushed and she said angrily: "Young Master, what's wrong with you today?"

Wufeng didn't know why his emotions were so out of control today, and he made such a sudden move. However, the other party did not seem to have any intense reaction. Wufeng felt relieved and smiled and asked, "I just wanted to go out for a walk with Lotti, and I had no other intentions."

Although she refused to hold hands with the other party, Charlotte kept thrusting in her heart. She really didn't expect that the other party would suddenly hold her hand at this time. Although she had been flirted with by her before, it was not counted when he was drunk. I have never encountered such a scene today, so it is no wonder Charlotte reacted so much.

"Then I'd better call Sister Yumei or Sister Yingying to accompany you." As soon as Charlotte said, he regretted it again. On the surface, he still looked reserved, but in his heart he hoped that the other party would not agree to his suggestions.

Fortunately, Wufeng's answer was very quick: "Forget it, don't Lotti want to take a walk with me? If that's the case, then I'll go out for a walk by myself." Wufeng was a little disappointed, and it seemed that the other party was still very wary of him.

"No, no, I'm willing to accompany the young master." Wufeng's depressed expression fell into the girl's eyes. The girl felt soft-hearted. She quickly argued, "Where do you want to go?"

"Let's go, it's already late at night. I just want to find someone to take a walk and chat. I haven't been able to get a clean day these days, so I'm really tired." Wu Feng smiled self-deprecatingly, "Maybe I'm really old."

"Are you old?" Charlotte couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Young master, how old are you? How can you call it the word "old?"

"It's not that people are older, but that my mentality has become a little older." Wufeng explained with a sigh, "I'm entangled by these so-called military and national affairs all day long. Sometimes I ask myself, is this the life I pursue? The answer seems to be no, but if I want to talk about a specific goal, I feel it's difficult for me to find a correct answer."

Charlotte silently accompanied Wu Feng in the back garden of the Jiedu Mansion. The garden has been expanded and renovated twice and expanded two or three times the scale. Not only are the paths covered with bluestone slabs, but some stone benches have been placed in many elegant environments so that the owner can have a place to rest when spreading. He usually seems majestic but has troubles and sorrows like ordinary people. As he said, in this world, he does not know what he really pursues, and many times it is like moving forward with an inertia.

After venting for a while, Wufeng's mood seemed to calm down a lot and his emotions gradually returned to normal. "By the way, Lotty, did Willie write to you for so long?"

"Thank you for your concern. Willy sent a letter a few days ago. He lived a happy life in school and learned a lot. He hoped to work for the young master after graduation earlier." When talking about his younger brother, Charlotte's mood immediately improved, and a happy and satisfied smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"No hurry, he is still young and should learn more. The Imperial Military Academy is one of the most famous colleges in the East Continent. There are many things worth learning there. It is difficult for a person to satisfy his energy even for the rest of his life. Tell him, he needs to study hard now. As for what he needs to do, he doesn't need to consider now. When he really learns what he should learn, I will naturally arrange his work." Wufeng also nodded.

"Well, he was just too impatient. I also told him to study with peace of mind and not to think about anything else. The student's job is to study." Charlotte's face was filled with joy, "Young Master, he listened to you the most. If you use nothing, I would like to ask the Youth to write him a letter to him so that he can study with peace of mind. I wonder if it is possible?"

"Of course, why did Loti become so polite all of a sudden?" Wu Feng agreed with a sigh, "I seem to feel a lot of separation between us. I always feel that we are not like this in the imperial world. Why did we become alienated after returning to the northwest?"

Charlotte did not answer the other party's question for the moment, but just lowered his head and walked forward silently. Wufeng also noticed the change in the other party's mood and waited quietly.

"Maybe it's the change of their identities and environment. Charlotte is just a helpless servant, but the lord is a famous rank official with a huge difference in identity." A faint loss flashed across the girl's face. Since Wufeng returned to the northwest from the imperial capital, he has been in the political and military affairs for almost years. Every day, except for being able to meet at dinner, there is almost no trace again. It's nowhere to compare to the relaxation and freedom in the imperial capital. He is not like the women around him who have already established their status or have a suitable reason to be with him. At most, his cooking skills remind him of himself, and when he thinks of this, the girl's heart is even more sad.

As if he felt the resentment in the other party's words, Wufeng did not answer for a while. After thinking for a long time, Wufeng approached the other party and pulled up the other party's slender hands and looked at the other party's beautiful eyes with a firm look. He sincerely said: "This may be my fault. After returning to the northwest, he ignored many things. A person's life should not be just for the so-called grand ambitions. Such a life is also pale and thin, so it's better not to do it."

"No, young master, you misunderstood what I mean. Charlotte has never dared to expect things that do not belong to him for a long time, but I see that the young master is working hard every day. I think if the young master can combine work and rest and relax, it may be much better." Charlotte faced the other party's bright eyes, and lowered his head in a hurry, obviously speaking indifferently.

Holding the other party's tenderness, Wufeng ignored the other party's struggle and moved forward with high spirits. In desperation, Charlotte was surprised, happy, shy and afraid, and his beautiful eyes quickly looked around. Fortunately, it was late at night. Except for a few guards who were standing not far behind, no outsiders saw them. These guards were commonplace, and the strict discipline allowed them to ignore anything that did not endanger the safety of their owners. Although Charlotte was shy and afraid, he was not worried that they would leak it.

"Lotti, why don't I want to live such a life? But the changes in the situation around me now cannot allow me to take a break." He simply took the other party's warm bee waist and felt the fragrance brought by the fluttering hair passing through his jaw. Wufeng found that his originally depressed mood seemed to be much more relaxed.
