The Rebirth of an Orphan

"Alan." Zhao Xihua looked at the drunken man in front of her. The cold fragrance from his body came over her in waves. Zhao Xihua felt her breathing stagnate. She didn't know what Gu Lun was going to do next.

"Hua'er..." Gu Lun's cold lips pressed against her ear and he said hoarsely, "Hua'er...give me a child."

Zhao Xihua looked at Gu Lun and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Although Gu Lun was drunk, he looked at Zhao Xihua with eyes full of doting: "The girl looks like you, and the boy looks like you too, okay?"

Zhao Xihua's heart was in a knot. Gu Lun liked her, she liked Gu Lun too, and the old man agreed. It should have been a natural thing. But the secret in Zhao Xihua's heart stood between the two of them.

"Hua'er," Gu Lun kissed her hair, his voice a little coquettish, "Hua'er, just agree to me tonight, okay? Don't let that kid Deng Xiao get the upper hand, otherwise we'll have to let our children call their children brother or sister. I, Gu Lun, can't lose no matter what. Tonight... tonight we..."

Zhao Xihua was still a little worried and sad, but after hearing what Gu Lun said, she felt a little amused. She was just thinking about pushing him away to let him sober up, when she suddenly heard Changfeng's voice coming from outside the car: "Master, Master, stop the car."

The car suddenly stopped and Gu Lun sobered up. He suddenly opened the car window, his face becoming more gloomy. Chang Feng was already beside the car and said anxiously, "Master, something big has happened. A foreign army of 300,000 has invaded from the border areas. They have already captured 32 cities in seven continents. The leading foreign army is already 800 kilometers away from Kyoto. The president is urgently calling you right now."

Previously, it was the Ling family's army that had been stationed in the foreign border areas. However, because of the Ling family's overwhelming power, it caused panic among President Mo Yuan and he had to take action against the Ling family. However, he never expected that the Ling family would treat the life and death of the country as a joke for revenge. The foreign army invaded and captured so many cities, and it has been more than a month before there is news. Moreover, the army is only 800 kilometers away from Kyoto.

Kyoto was shaken, the whole country was shaken, the wealthy merchants in Kyoto had begun to move hurriedly to the south, and those aristocratic families were persuading the president to move the capital.

"Catch Ling Qian for me, catch that villain and shoot him." Mo Yuan's roar was heard from the Presidential Palace. The conference room was crowded with officials of all ranks, but no one dared to say anything.

So many people have been discussing this here for a whole night, and this time the news came so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard.

And no one from the Ling family, including the other members of the Ling family, came to see Mo Yuan. One of them said he was sick and couldn't see anyone. Everyone could see that it was an excuse, but no one dared to stand up and speak.

The Ling family's army was no longer under Mo Yuan's control. The Ling family had already possessed the ability to subvert the country, but by the time Mo Yuan realized this, it was already too late.

Mo Yuan's roar shook the conference hall inside and outside. All the officials looked at the two officials who had been killed by Mo Yuan for delaying military intelligence. The two corpses placed at the door of the conference hall were even more shocking.

At this time, Queen Mother Wang and a group of palace servants walked into the meeting hall and looked at Mo Yuan coldly, who seemed to be in despair, and said, "Mr. President, are you going to destroy the century-old foundation of the country? The reason why the Ling family's army failed to stop the foreign enemy army is because you imprisoned the Ling family's chief coach, making it impossible for the Ling family to command and control the border troops. Now, not only do you not release Ling Qian, you also want to kill him. Aren't you afraid that the Ling family's army will really rebel?"

"What is happening now? It's because that bastard Ling Qian is really going to rebel." Mo Yuan glared fiercely at his mother, the Queen Mother who raised him since he was a child but didn't have the slightest bit of a loving mother's look. He felt extremely desolate in his heart.

The reason why the Ling family is so arrogant today is because the Queen Mother has always treated Ling Qian as her own son. Isn't it her who has raised a tiger to cause trouble? But she actually wants to send Ling Qian away. Isn't this letting the tiger go back to the mountain? If Ling Qian regains control of the military power, coupled with the cooperation of foreign armies, it will only take a few minutes to kill Mo Yuan.

At this time, the Queen Mother became Mo Yuan's biggest concern, but she was his mother and he couldn't just push her out and kill her.

For a moment, Mo Yuan and the Queen Mother were in a standoff in the conference room. No one knew how to persuade them. Even though everyone knew that it was the Ling family who set up Mo Yuan, Mo Yuan just couldn't do anything about it.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was a bit depressing, but the third prince showed a smug smile. He had been living a very depressed life these days. Mo Yuan hated him just because he spoke for the Ling family, so Mo Lingtian always suppressed him. And that Gu Lun was also very jumpy.

Although he knew that his situation was hopeless, he was still unwilling to accept it. Why had he planned for so many years to give up that position?

In fact, he had known the news a month ago. He had drawn the route map of the invasion personally. He just wanted to see what his father would do without the protection of the Ling family. He would just obediently hand over the power to the Ling family. As long as he had the support of the Ling family, he would be the one who laughed last.

"Do you have any other good ideas to defend against the enemy? Tell us, tell us quickly!" Mo Yuan almost yelled.

Queen Mother Wang looked at Mo Yuan calmly and said, "President, I have said before that we should return the military power to the Ling family and let them take back those territories. Why are you calling these rubbish? If that day really comes, you should have a good rest and give your position to Lu'er. He is the most suitable candidate among the princes."

Mo Yuan looked at the Queen Mother and a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat. "Mother, the country is in crisis and the enemy is at hand. Are you going to force the emperor to abdicate?"

"I'm not forcing you to abdicate. I'm thinking about you. Under such circumstances, only the Ling family can save us. I hope you can release Ling Qian from his confinement as soon as possible so that we can still control the situation."

The ninth prince Mo Lingtian, who was watching from the side, felt a little complicated. His father had no real ability and had been controlled by his grandmother all his life. In the end, he was just incompetent and cruel.

Fortunately, he and Gu Lun had thought of the Ling family's trick before, but they didn't expect that the Ling family was so shameless as to collude with foreign races and do such treasonous, dishonorable and even conscienceless things.

"Father," the Ninth Prince suddenly stood up and rushed to Mo Yuan and said, "Although the Ling Family Army has suffered repeated defeats in resisting foreign attacks, it is not completely helpless. The current situation of the Ling Family Army is that the leaders at all levels have made mistakes. If my son leads the troops of the two camps in the east and west of Kyoto to repel the foreign tribes and gather the old members of the Ling Family Army to reorganize the Ling Family Army, then my son will not hesitate even if he dies on the battlefield."
