Chapter 250 Reluctant(1/2)
Chapter 250 The flowers fall helplessly
After Hanchuan County was captured, Li Ping's mood was very high for a few days. When he returned to Hanyang, he specially asked Zhao Lanyue to make a meal of slices.
Shanxi women are so good at making noodles that I really miss not eating them some days!
However, Li Ping was in a good mood, but Zhao Lanyue, who was dragged over to cook, had a look of displeasure on his face.
But she didn't refuse either.
Regarding this matter, Zhao Lanyue felt helpless and even annoyed.
Originally, Li Ping didn't know she could cook.
But as everyone knows, people have the deepest memory of the food they grew up with, and it is difficult to change their eating habits. However, there was a gap of several hundred years between the Ming Dynasty and the Southern cooks, no matter how good they were, they wanted to capture the taste of modern northerners.
The stomach is almost impossible.
Although Zhao Lanyue had to cook in person many times to relive her memories after coming to this world, what she could enjoy was limited to her and Gao Lei. She was not interested in serving other people and felt it was inappropriate, especially when Gao Lei was not here.
If you can cook.
But all this changed when Li Ping was pretending to be ill.
In order to take care of Li Ping and cooperate with her acting, Zhao Lanyue often needs to go to Li Ping's place, and sometimes she has to stay for a long time.
Apart from doing their own thing and bickering from time to time, the two of them also get bored sometimes.
As a result, one day when she was bored, Zhao Lanyue showed her hand. The original intention was mainly to satisfy herself, but Li Ping, who was like discovering a treasure, suddenly became addicted, and then began to often find various reasons to satisfy her oral desires.
However, at that time they usually bring Gao Lei and Song Baolai with them.
Today, since Gao Lei still stayed in Hanchuan to preside over the treatment of wounded soldiers, Song Baolai was busy with work and declined the invitation. Only Li Ping and Zhao Lanyue, or rather Li Ping, were the only ones to eat.
Zhao Lanyue is here to cook.
Zhao Lanyue couldn't help but laugh when she saw Li Ping finishing a large bowl of food without caring about his image, snoring and then quickly going to the basin to fill the second bowl.
But just as she started laughing, she seemed to suddenly realize something, and then frowned and said, "Can we learn to pay attention to our appearance when eating and not be so rude?"
"Eat like this and have fun!" Li Ping replied nonchalantly and continued as usual.
Zhao Lanyue rolled her eyes helplessly, and then pointedly pointed out: "It's not terrible to be uneducated, but the terrible thing is to treat rudeness as a personality! What Sister Gao dislikes the most is rudeness."
"You have to be polite when eating noodles, why don't you suffocate me to death!" Li Ping buried his head and continued to devour, but then he quickly raised his head and asked in surprise: "Why, Gao Lei thinks I'm uneducated?
"
Zhao Lanyue was stunned and said hurriedly: "No, no, I think you are uneducated, hey! That's not the case. It's just a metaphor."
"oh."
Li Pingping responded calmly without any expression, and continued to be stunned for a moment before he lowered his head again and started working on the slices in the bowl.
Zhao Lanyue glanced at Li Ping with a frustrated expression, and was silent for a moment, and then asked again: "Did you go find her in Hanchuan? You are a man, so you have to take the initiative. You two can't always be so stiff.
.”
Li Ping, who was eating, stopped with the chopsticks in his hand, lowered his head and looked at the bowl and hesitated for a moment, then tried his best to say calmly: "I didn't look for her specifically. I saw her once in the wounded barracks and said a few words to her.
There is no more. We are both uncomfortable and tired if we work together. It is best not to interfere with each other."
After saying that, Li Ping continued to move the gripper.
Zhao Lanyue's eyes straightened instantly, and she said in shock: "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting." Li Ping replied vaguely with a mouth full of food.
"Li Ping, don't eat it yet, please explain clearly..." Zhao Lanyue said angrily and reluctantly.
But this time Li Ping ignored her, and continued to eat the slices. He didn't put down his chopsticks until he finished the bowl, then wiped his mouth again, and then looked at the angry Zhao Lanyue and said with a smile.
:
"Some things cannot be done through force, and the results of forcing may not necessarily be good. Look, now that she is not upset, I can enjoy the beauty with peace of mind, isn't it good?"
"Appreciating beauties? You came back just to see beauties!" Zhao Lanyue's face turned green, and she subconsciously glanced out the window.
Li Ping shook his head helplessly and said: "Hey! Stop looking for her, the beauty is right in front of me."
Zhao Lanyue turned around and was surprised: "Are you kidding me?"
But Li Ping was surprised and said: "Sister, when did you become so sensitive? I can't even tell you apart when I am teasing you. And is there anything wrong with me calling you a beauty?"
After Zhao Lanyue was stunned for a few seconds, her face suddenly turned red, her expression became a little twitchy and she said, "Let's get down to business, why can't you spit out ivory from a dog's mouth?"
Of course Zhao Lanyue knew why Li Ping left the army in Hanchuan and ran back. If it was just to eat her pussy, not to mention that Li Ping couldn't do it, even she wouldn't do anything.
But she didn't expect why she had forgotten it just now in a hurry.
Something happened on Zhang Xianzhong's side, which had affected Li Ping's plans. Li Ping returned to Hanyang just to inquire about Zhang Xianzhong's situation and think about countermeasures.
"You are blushing, why are you blushing?" Li Ping continued to tease, and he became more and more unscrupulous towards Zhao Lanyue.
"Be serious! Is this the time to joke?" Zhao Lanyue's anger rose, and her face became cold.
Seeing that Zhao Lanyue's expression was really wrong, Li Ping also knew that he could no longer tease her, so he straightened his expression and said seriously:
"You, don't be too stubborn! Gao Lei is a clean person, and he is used to being clean, not only in life, but also in thought, and no matter in the past, present or future, you should do this
Know better than me.
But I'm not.
In the past, I couldn't choose to forget, nor would I forget. Now or in the future, I clearly know that I can't do what she wants either.
This is the biggest difference between the two of us, and it is also an irreconcilable difference.
We forced them to get together, but she was unhappy and I was under a lot of pressure. As a result, both of us were tired. Instead of doing this, it is better not to force it. The result of forcing can only be worse and more irresponsible. Don't you think so?
"
Zhao Lanyue was shocked by Li Ping's unexpected revelation of his feelings. She didn't know what to say for a moment.
I wanted to refute but found that I didn't know how to refute, but if I didn't refute, something seemed wrong.
Zhao Lanyue knew very well that although Li Ping's words were relatively obscure, they directly hit the fundamental problem between the two people, and this was what she had long been aware of and had always been most worried about.
Maybe Li Ping has been aware of these problems for a long time, so he openly transferred Liu Xiaohui back to his side as if he was stupid. It was probably a statement, and Gao Lei may have understood it, even if she still can't give up completely.
Although she still didn't quite understand why Li Ping suddenly decided to break all this and make everything irreversible, Zhao Lanyue could only sigh deeply.
Seeing that Zhao Lanyue remained silent, Li Ping smiled bitterly. He knew that she was a smart woman and there were some things that she didn't need to say too much.
Then he shouted to the outside of the house: "Xiao Hui, I've finished eating, come over and clear the dishes."
Li Ping and Zhao Lanyue had dinner together, and everyone else, not to mention being in the house, even hid outside the inner courtyard.
Liu Xiaohui, who was dressed strictly and plainly, came in very quickly, and she cleared the table calmly and neatly under Zhao Lanyue's scrutinizing gaze.
Before leaving, she whispered: "Director Duan and Deputy Chief of Staff Zhou are here. They have been outside the compound for a while. They seem to be in a hurry. Liu Qiang stopped them and refused to let them pass."
Li Ping was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "Let them in quickly."
Li Ping returned to Hanyang. Except for Shi Lei and Yang Ming, everyone else was left in Hanchuan and planned to march westward as planned!
Duan Qiang and Zhou Wen came together at this time, and they were in a hurry. The matter seemed to be serious.
However, until Duan Qiang and Zhou Wen came in with anxious expressions, Zhao Lanyue had no intention of leaving or avoiding. She just continued to sit steadily from the side.
Duan Qiang was too strong to notice anything, but Zhou Wen looked at Zhao Lanyue and then Li Ping in surprise.
But Li Ping just said nonchalantly: "Sit down and talk." Then he turned to Liu Xiaohui, who followed him to the side and said: "Xiaohui, bring some tea."
Although his face looked anxious, Duan Qiang obeyed and sat aside first, but Zhou Wen did not sit down but stood directly and said impatiently: "Supervisor Sun was defeated in Nanyang, and the intruders are approaching Tongguan rapidly.
"
"I'll go! When?"
Li Ping's national curse flew out directly, and Zhao Lanyue on the side also widened his eyes in surprise.
"At the end of last month, a decisive battle broke out between Supervisor Sun and the bandits in Nanyang. Our army was severely defeated and retreated for hundreds of miles. The bandits pursued them all the way north and are now heading straight for Tongguan." Zhou Wen said again sadly and angrily.
"Is the news reliable? How did you know?" Li Ping asked, staring at Duan Qiang sitting aside.
"The news should be reliable. It was a small official who was originally from Chengtian Mansion and is now Yang Wuzhou. He asked a fisherman to whom he had great kindness to risk his life to send the news to our navy in Mianyang. At about the same time, in
Zhang Jianji of Mianyang also received exactly the same information. The source of Zhang Jianji's information was also a fake official. According to him, some fake officials who were forced to become thieves have always maintained contact with their government."
Duan Qiang answered hurriedly.
"Is the Superintendent okay?" Li Ping asked anxiously, frowning.
"I haven't heard of this information. The supervisor must be fine, otherwise the thieves will definitely publicize it." Zhou Wen answered firmly.
Li Ping scratched the back of his head in surprise, but immediately said depressedly: "When we attacked Hanchuan together, Governor Sun was already defeated! So what's the point of fighting Hanchuan?"
"General soldier, you can't say that. The two battles in Mianyang and Hanchuan at least proved that the intruders were nothing more than that, and also proved that the intruders' troops in Huguang were very empty. The thief general Bai Wang originally had only two thousand troops stationed in Chengtian.
, the current information that the Xiangyang bandit army only numbers six thousand should be accurate. Even if they have expanded in the past few months, the number of troops they have expanded will definitely be overwhelming." Zhou Wen said with a serious look on his face.
"So what?" Li Ping obviously didn't care about this at all.
"General Soldier, this is very important. This means that if we launch a thunderous offensive now, the rebel army will definitely be difficult to parry. Since the rear of the intruders is unstable, they will naturally be unable to move northward, and the pressure on Tongguan guarded by Sun Dushi will also be put under pressure.
To be continued...
