Chapter 1748: Becoming Sensible

"Ah." Ausilige snapped back to reality, looking with panic at his old man's unkind gaze.

He said with a guilty conscience: "No, nothing, isn't Gelin already shot in this battle? Perhaps he is already gone by now; we don't need to waste time on a dead man."

"Didn't the troops led by General Kadaer wipe out the enemy's ten-thousand-man force while fighting the British Expeditionary Force? With such a great merit, we should reward him."

Hearing this, Richard looked at Ausilige with quite some surprise.

His son, who valued money more than anything else, usually didn't understand how to win people over at all.

Yet now, he had actually taken the initiative to mention rewarding General Kadaer.

The sun must have risen from the west today.

"Hmm, it is very good that you have this thought."

"What do you think would be suitable to reward General Kadaer with?"

Ausilige's mouth twitched; he had just said it off the cuff, and he really didn't have the slightest idea what to actually reward Kadaer with.

However, Ausilige still thought for a moment about what he liked best and said, "Money and women."

Richard pondered for a moment and felt Ausilige's suggestion was not bad, but France's economy in America was not good, so rewarding money was not a good idea.

But women were fine, and they could even be slaves—those Indian slaves who resisted them, as well as the African black slaves shipped from Africa.

"Then let us reward General Kadaer with one thousand acres of land, ten thousand slaves, plus thirty women, and three thousand Gold Coins."

"In addition, grant General Kadaer an Honor Medal."

Richard looked at Ausilige, who was distracted again, and said: "Leave this matter to you to handle."

"Huh?" Ausilige glanced at Richard, only then snapping back to realize he was the one who had to handle General Kadaer's reward.

He gave an "oh" and hurriedly said: "Then I will go handle these matters first."

After speaking, Ausilige walked away with quick, small steps; he had to find Fang Dalong and Wan Shang to ask clearly about the Gelin matter.

If he really had any connection with Gelin.

Then who were these two Longyan merchants, Fang Dalong and Wan Shang?

Why would they know Gelin?

And if Richard found out that he had even helped Gelin, his end would definitely not be good.

Turning right after exiting the door, Ausilige got into a Horse Carriage and sped away.

Meanwhile, in the office, Richard was indecisive about one matter.

The upper reaches of the Ohio River were basically already controlled by their France.

The British troops were being beaten back step by step, although Gelin had traded for a great victory and occupied one of their positions.

But such a victory was of no consequence to the overall war.

The British Expeditionary Force had already been wiped out by General Kadaer.

The British troops could no longer pose a threat to the Ohio River Basin; the garrison in the Ohio River Basin only needed to hold their ground without attacking to stall the British troops.

Now their French Colonial Area could be considered to have freed up their military strength.

Now they possessed enough troops to launch an attack on Longyan City.

Although Longyan City did not have many troops, Richard was hesitant before attacking.

The territory of Longyan City was naturally easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Plus, what kind of weapons did Longyan City actually possess? The weapons Longyan City had previously handed over to them were terrifying.

Especially the power of the Longyan Cannon; that kind of thing had an ultra-long range in mountain warfare, and if the quantity was sufficient, it would cause unimaginable consequences for enemy troops.

Not to mention the weapons Longyan City kept hidden in the shadows.

Richard was indecisive, and finally, after thinking it over, for the sake of safety, he could not directly use force against Longyan without having investigated all the information about Longyan City.

He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Go, invite Wan Shang over, and go to the hospital to see how Fang Dalong's injuries are; if it's not a big problem, invite him over as well."

……

At this time, Ausilige ran all the way to the Small Tavern.

Seeing Ausilige's arrival, Wan Shang revealed a smile on his face: "A rare guest, Young Master Ausilige."

Wan Shang bowed, but Ausilige ignored him and pushed past him directly into the room.

Seeing Ausilige's abnormal attitude, Wan Shang was stunned; usually, Ausilige did not have such an attitude.

In the past, Ausilige's attitude toward them was like that toward family.

Wan Shang followed him in, puzzled. As soon as he closed the door, Ausilige looked at Wan Shang coldly and questioned: "What exactly is your relationship with Gelin!"

Hearing Ausilige's furious voice, especially the name Gelin, Wan Shang's heart skipped a beat.

Had the Gelin matter been exposed, implicating them?

But thinking carefully, that wasn't right.

Gelin had long since left France and was now staying in Britain; even if it were exposed, what did it have to do with him?

Wan Shang personally poured a cup of fine wine for Ausilige and chuckled: "We are just friends with him."

"What's wrong? Did you run into him?"

Ausilige did not take the wine glass and sneered: "Friends? Your British friend?"

Wan Shang was stunned; how did he know?

However, in that very instant, Wan Shang suppressed the shock in his heart and put on a calm, puzzled expression: "Ausilige, I don't understand what you are talking about?"

Slap!

Ausilige threw a copy of today's French newspaper onto the table.

In the most prominent place on this newspaper, news about Gelin was published.

However, the French troops' defeat was depicted as a tear-jerking invasion incident, and Gelin was the primary culprit.

Seeing such a piece of news, Wan Shang suddenly realized; he understood that Ausilige, who never read newspapers, had come to confront him after seeing Gelin's name on this newspaper.

Ausilige had no substantive evidence, no evidence that could directly prove these two people were the same person.

Thinking of this, he felt much more relaxed at the party.

He laughed: "It's just a piece of news, it proves nothing, and there are too many people named Gelin."

"We also have no Method to prove that this Gelin is the same Gelin I introduced to you."

"Ausilige, you are suspicious and paranoid every single day."

Ausilige still stared coldly at Wanshang: "This indeed cannot prove anything, but regarding this British officer, who is also named Gelin, these two matters look like a coincidence no matter how you view them."

"I don't believe the reason you gave; unless you can contact Gelin and have him come see me once."

Hearing this request, Wanshang sighed helplessly: "Gelin left France long ago, where do you expect me to go to find him for you?"

After an endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly sat up from the bed. Please,

He took deep breaths of fresh air, his chest heaving.

Confusion, bewilderment, all sorts of emotions surged into his heart.

Where is this?

Subsequently, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more bewildered.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had been successfully rescued, he should be in a hospital ward right now.

And his own body... how could there not be a single injury.

Filled with doubt, Shi Yu's gaze swept quickly across the room, finally resting on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a very handsome look.

But the problem is, this is not him!, read the latest chapter content without advertisements for free.

The previous him was a handsome young man in his twenties with an extraordinary bearing, who had been working for some time.

But now, this appearance looks like a high school student no matter how you look at it...

This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the surgery was a success...

His body and face have both changed; this is no longer a matter of surgery or not, but immortal arts.

He had actually completely turned into another person!

Could it be... that he had transmigrated?

Besides the mirror placed in a spot with obviously bad feng shui at the head of the bed, Shi Yu also discovered three books nearby.

Shi Yu picked them up to look, and the book titles made him fall silent instantly.

"Essential Beast Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"

"Postpartum Care for Pet Beasts"

"Appraisal Guide for Different-Race Beast-Eared Girls"

Shi Yu:???

The names of the first two books are still normal, what is going on with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's gaze turned solemn, and he reached out his hand, but his arm stiffened quickly.

Just as he wanted to open the third book to see what on earth this thing was, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a massive amount of memories surged forth like a tide.
