Member of Congressman Baras stood up and apologized to Andrew, then quickly walked out the door, closed the door, and asked softly, "Is he here?"

"Yes, MP, are downstairs now." Mrs. Leise replied.

"Well, please ask him to the meeting room on the second floor immediately and tell him that I will come down after 30 minutes, that is, 12:20." Balas took out his pocket watch and determined the time. After explaining the matter, the councillor turned around and sat down in front of the students, and continued to taste the Eastern refreshments leisurely.

Andrew was puzzled at this time, because of the mysterious behavior of Balas. It was already late at night and there were guests visiting. At this time, Paris had begun to impose a curfew. According to the provisions of the just-promulgated Revolutionary Terror Ordinance: all business places in the city, whether they are cafes, taverns, theaters or clubs, must be closed before 10:30. Adults who go out after 11:30 must register with the Revolutionary Committee of their district in advance, and the agency will sign a pass, and be investigated by the National Self-Defense Forces Patrol at any time. If there is no pass and the action is mysterious, the patrol team has the right to arrest them and escort them to the prison for interrogation on suspicion of espionage or sabotage.

Andrew felt this deeply when he entered Paris. Even though he marked the words for the Army Department in the most conspicuous position of his carriage, and there were fully armed soldiers driving the carriage in front, he was still questioned several times by patrol teams along the way. Fortunately, people in Paris have been circulating the great achievements of the Mountain General. Although no one has seen Andrew himself, when he walked out of the carriage, he looked like an oriental strange face.

In addition to the uniform of the Army Lieutenant General, all the patrol soldiers present were respectful and stood attentive, because they knew that the person in front of them must be their idol, the brave General Andrew. After some "entanglement", the patrol team strongly demanded to escort the general in person, but Andrew politely declined and then left in disappointment. But ordinary people were not so lucky. Andrew saw at least two people arrested for incomplete documents.

The guest who visited Balas was also quite not simple. The Eberists and their allies would not come. Although they no longer pursued the crimes of greedy MPs, they would never embrace it. Neither the noble royalists would come. They hated the traitors of their own class, as much as the butcher general; let alone the three giants, the well-informed Andrew knew that after the terror regulations were issued, they would lead by example every night, either staying in their own homes or in the residence of their comrades; but the Dandongs and the swampers like to interact with Balas, are they...

Andrew was thinking about random thoughts, and his mentor was also fighting against heaven and man. He seemed to be leisurely and was deciding one thing, which was about his daughter. There were many rumors about Balas's illegitimate son, but he only had one biological daughter, that is Cosette. Over the years, Balas has focused on political power and traveled to and from various social places, making friends with all kinds of lovers and ladies, and therefore neglected Cosette and her mother. The mother died of depression two years ago, and the stubborn Cosette began to fight a cold war with his father. However, the congressman himself still loved his daughter and tried to make up for his previous mistakes. When he went south to Toulon as a special commissioner, he took her with him, but he didn't want to leave for a small matter. The two broke up in dissatisfaction. The 15-year-old Cosette secretly ran out, but appeared in Andrew's barracks as an orderly soldier.

At first, Balas didn't think anything was that she was just a little girl. She believed in Andrew's character, and at the same time she sent her confidants to protect her secretly. Later, as Andrew's status gradually increased, the whole incident suddenly changed. In order to grasp Andrew's words and deeds, Balas sent Mrs. Leise, the closest lady of Cosette, to persuade her daughter to act as her father and inform the general of all kinds of information at any time. In this matter, even Assistant Mirière was concealed. Everything was developing smoothly, and the information about Andrew was constantly transmitted from Andrew to Balas. Until one day, Cosette ran back to Paris alone. Balas found that something was wrong, and after asking, he learned that Commander Toulon

He noticed his "undercover". He was frightened and sent several letters in a row, withdrew all the spies, and sent a special person to his friend, Fred's commissioner, asking him to reconcile the rift of his relationship with his students. After learning about the victory in the Valley Plain and the resurrection of Toulon, Balas felt more and more importantly, and in the subsequent letter, he asked Fred to match the marriage between his daughter and General Shanyue. In this matter, Cosette himself did not object much. From the shy and joyful eyes of the child, he fully understood his daughter's thoughts. The key to the problem was that he was on Andrew's side. Unexpectedly, Fred, who returned to Paris, slipped away halfway, and the result of the matter was not reported.

Damn client, he should have exhausted him to death on the bed of the count's widow. Barras cursed indignantly, ended his hesitation, and decided to tell the thoughts openly before going downstairs. He put down the teacup, stood up, walked twice on the soft carpet, and finally stopped and said to the general in front of him:

"Andrew, there is one thing that Balas must apologize to you, it's about Cossett, she..."

"Teacher, please don't continue. I have understood the whole story." Andrew interrupted the teacher's topic, established it in a military manner, and said solemnly: "This time I visited the instructor's residence late at night, I want to ask you to agree to a request from the student to allow Andrew to engage your daughter, Miss Cosette."

Andrew's previous sentence made Balas' heart sink, but the subsequent explanation sent him to heaven. The MP who hated Fred was very much estimating in his heart what beauties he would like to know. Well, the problem has been solved. With the heroic General Andrew watching himself in the military, Balas's political future will be even more like a fish in water.

"Okay, very good, very good." Three affirmative words expressed the excitement of the MP. The spirited Balas pressed Andrew back to his position and shouted excitedly: "Haha, I knew that my students would also become their children. Engagement, well, no need, just hold the wedding directly. Let Cosette return to Paris from a suburban villa tomorrow, how about?"

Balas' reaction also surprised Andrew. He understood that the so-called marriage was just a political transaction. Balas hoped for military help, and Andrew needed political allies. The combination of interests of the two promoted the conclusion of the agreement.
