Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

Birds chirped high in the sky, instantly stirring up the quiet air to flow again.

The little old man in front of him analyzed enthusiastically: "Think about it, if he agrees, you get what you want, and the two of you work together sweetly, but if it fails, he will definitely be reluctant to miss such an outstanding talent like you."

"What's more, you once confessed to him. In addition to other relationships between you, there is also a layer of pursuer filter."

He winked at Gu Cheng with a slightly thief look: "According to what you told about his character, he is obviously not a person who is willing to let go of talents easily, so whether it is in terms of interests or emotions, the most likely choice he will make is …”

Vic looked steadily into Gu Cheng's eyes and said jokingly: "Just like you did to James, wait for time to determine the best choice."

Hearing this, Gu Cheng suddenly lowered his eyes and remained silent.

What I have to admit is that he does have such thoughts.

After all, every choice you make at the fork in your life will lead you to a different ending.

If he chooses James, then he and His Highness will have no chance at all.

Teacher Vic continued: "... Therefore, he will give you a little hope when he needs to use you, so that you can do your best to use it for him, and you will feel full of fighting spirit for this event that is like building up goodwill. , thus protecting him spontaneously, and at the same time protecting the country he loves."

"He can't be more at ease with you like this, and with his methods, you may be under control for decades or even hundreds of years."

Teacher Vic spread his hands and said, "Look, no matter whether you succeed or not, you can benefit from it both in love and in the workplace, so why are you still hesitating?"

Gu Cheng said awkwardly: "Teacher, you said that I am like a licking dog, or a licking dog who is willing to buy dinner for his girlfriend's boyfriend..."

"Lick the dog, lick the dog, lick everything to the end."

Vic said nonchalantly: "Isn't the most important thing, has your goal been achieved?"

"Ah."

Gu Cheng took a deep breath and finally spit out this simple word.

Suddenly, he remembered something again and said: "But I am not the me in the future yet. Can I get his attention at the expense of myself?"

"Silly boy, don't you have ten years of work experience in this life? Friendships in youth are more precious than interest ties in old age."

Vic looked at Gu Cheng with a loving face: "Child, you should be more confident. The misfortune of childhood in your previous life should not become a fetter for your future life."

"I understand." Gu Cheng nodded heavily.

"Then go!"

As soon as he figured it out, everything in front of him turned into crystal clear particles of light.

The decaying wooden house and the kind but childish teacher Vic gradually became blurred in his memory.

It's like completing some kind of mission.

Before he could feel regretful, Gu Cheng's eyes suddenly went dark.

Gu Cheng was absent-minded for a moment, his peach-blossom eyes widening in the darkness. After being hesitant, he became extremely calm.

But the next second, when he saw everything clearly, he put away his vigilance.

Without him, this was the second scene of dreams that happened one after another in his memory.

That towering city wall with the howling cold wind.

The cold wind is still blowing, and there is a green patch of green in the distance. I don’t know the year.

The coolness rushed towards his cheek, causing Gu Cheng, who had just walked out of the warmth, to tremble violently.

After he got used to the environment a little, Gu Cheng began to look around calmly.

In the distance, there are towers towering into the clouds, meteors as blue as stars in the sky, palaces clustered on the mountains, and the sound of footsteps coming from the slightly cold corridors of the city wall.

The constant sound of regular footsteps made Gu Cheng's heart tighten suddenly.

He stared at the entrance of the corridor for a moment, waiting for the person in his memory to arrive.

The sunlight fell on the man's light golden hair, forming a bright halo like an angel's halo above his head.

He is still full of dignity and imposing manner.

But this time there is no need to use aura to make up for the lack of height.

His Majesty stood in front of him, half a head taller than him.

What made him even more familiar was that there was a subtle smile hidden in those eyes as deep as the blue sea.

"Your Majesty..."

Pei Mingxu nodded slightly towards him, then stood still in front of him.

Gorgeous and exquisite palace attire, with matching black and gold, outlines complex patterns and patterns. This is a robe that can only be worn by the emperor. Although it is only a regular dress, it cannot conceal its nobility.

Gu Cheng felt that if he wanted to accurately describe the His Majesty in front of him, it would be a mixture of the His Majesty from the previous life and the His Majesty that Gu Cheng recognized in this life.

He felt this way when he faced Teacher Vic.

The images of the teacher and His Majesty had some changes based on his memory. Although it was very small, Gu Cheng was clearly aware that they were two different people.

So...what should he say to His Highness this time?

Even though she had a good memory, he couldn't remember a report from such a long time ago.

As if aware of his dilemma, Pei Mingxu took the initiative and said, "How do you feel about the gathering of colleagues?"

Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, but after he came to his senses, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the topic is indeed relevant to reality.

Perhaps because he understood that it was just a dream, Gu Cheng stared into his eyes a little more boldly and said, "Your Majesty's arrangements are naturally good. Mr. Adams takes good care of me, and my colleagues are also very kind. I owe all of this to Your Majesty."

Pei Mingxu obviously didn't expect that Gu Cheng would dare to look at him. A trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, but his expression became clear again after an instant.

"Well, you deserve it."

Pei Mingxu did not show courtesy or say anything modest.

From his perspective, this is the attitude a minister should have towards the rewards given by his superiors.

And there is another meaning hidden in it. As long as you work well for me, you can get more of what you want.

His Highness is really very sensitive to people's hearts.

At this time, Teacher Vic's bewitching words suddenly appeared in Gu Cheng's mind.

How will His Majesty, who is so manipulative of people's hearts, act when faced with the pursuit of his friend and capable subordinate?
