Qi Shan and others left Tai'an Prefecture, left Shandong, entered Zhili, and headed for Beijing.
Along the way, Qi Shan took the time to hurry up.
In fact, many times I still camped in the wild and did not go to the inn to rest.
Because I missed the station because I was on the road, I camped in the wild again that night. Zhilan and Dieer were in separate tents, and Guldu kept vigil for Zhilan. Qi Shan had already rested, and Li Zhen was still patrolling the camp. Huang Shihai followed.
Beside Li Zhen, he whispered: "Sir, have you noticed that Miss Zhilan looks at you a little differently."
Li Zhenxiao asked: "What's the difference?"
Huang Shihai pondered for a moment, scratched his head, thought about it carefully, and said: "Anyway, I feel that the eyes are different. If I want to say what is different, I can't tell."
Li Zhenxiao said: "I shot the leader of the bandits that day and saved Zhilan, so she was grateful to me and her eyes were naturally a little different. Don't think too much and continue patrolling the night."
Seeing that Huang Shihai was hesitant to speak, Li Zhen said: "I know what you are thinking, and I can understand it, but you must understand that we are Han generals, and we are the most ordinary generals. Zhilan is a Manchu bannerman, or Guiliang, the Minister of War
My daughter has a distinguished family, but some things are not that simple."
After hearing this, Huang Shihai sighed softly.
There is indeed a huge gap between the Han people and the banner people.
Li Zhen felt funny when he saw Huang Shihai sighing.
He has a good impression of Zhilan, but he is not tempted. After all, everyone will be pleased to see beautiful things. Especially since Zhilan has a beautiful face, Li Zhen will naturally not have any bad feelings. As for more thoughts, Li Zhen does not have them.
His mind is not on this aspect, and he still has great ambitions.
The identities of the two parties were different, so Li Zhen looked at Zhilan with the intention of appreciating the beauty and had no other ideas.
"Sir, Miss Zhilan is here."
Huang Shihai whispered something and left automatically.
Li Zhen looked back and saw that Zhi Lan was wearing a brocade robe and walking towards him with small steps. Li Zhen cupped his hands and said, "It's late at night, why hasn't Miss Zhi Lan rested yet?"
Zhilan walked up to Li Zhen and said softly: "General, you haven't rested either."
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "I am responsible for the safety of the camp. I have to patrol the surroundings. Naturally, I cannot rest. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be dereliction of duty." After a pause, Li Zhen said again: "Miss Zhilan didn't take a rest. Could it be?
I'm not used to living in the wild. If so, I'm afraid I have to make plans for tomorrow, otherwise I might have to stay in the wild tomorrow."
A blush appeared on Zhilan's charming face, she blinked her big, watery eyes, and said softly: "General Li is so considerate. Whoever marries General Li will be really lucky."
"Well……"
Li Zhen's eyes widened and he looked at Zhi Lan with an incredible expression.
What does it mean?
However, Li Zhen quickly calmed down his surprise and said with a smile: "Miss Zhilan is joking. Li Zhen is just a vulgar and reckless man in the army. He only knows how to fight and kill. Who cares!"
Zhilan giggled and said, "Zhilan gives the general a chance. What does the general think?"
Li Zhen asked: "Miss Zhilan, please speak directly if you have anything to say."
Even though Li Zhen was determined, he was a little shaken by Zhilan's words.
He glanced around and found that He Ming secretly appeared among the soldiers on patrol at night, glancing in his direction from time to time. Li Zhen sneered in his heart, knowing that He Ming was jealous of him, and He Ming was eager to bring him down immediately to attack Wu Qigong.
.But with Li Zhen’s current status, He Ming cannot shake Li Zhen.
Zhilan and Li Zhen walked in the camp and whispered: "General saved Zhilan, Ama will definitely repay the general. As long as Ama recommends, the general can easily be transferred from the Jiangbei camp to the capital as an official. I don't know what the general wants."
how?"
When Li Zhen heard this, he realized that he was repaying his kindness. It seemed that he had overthought it.
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "My dear lady, I accept it with my heart. I saved my lady that day, but I was just following orders, so you don't have to worry about it."
Since it was to repay a favor, Li Zhen refused without hesitation.
Zhilan frowned slightly and said: "General, if you hang out in the Jiangbei camp and fight and kill all day long, even if you bleed and fight desperately, you are just a general with no rank, and it is difficult to get promoted. If you go to the capital to become an official
, with the help of my Amma, I will definitely rise to the top, and it will not be difficult to get promoted to a higher position. This is an opportunity."
Zhilan looked at Li Zhen expectantly, looking at Li Zhen's angular cheeks, her heart was beating fast.
Li Zhen felt very uncomfortable after hearing Zhilan's words.
He said in a deep voice: "Miss Zhilan, not everyone repays kindness, and not everyone likes to climb high branches. Li Zhen has a passionate heart and sound limbs, and can fight desperately on the battlefield. Although it is hard, he has a clear conscience.
I have no complaints. I would like to reiterate that I was acting under orders when I rescued the young lady that day, and you don’t need to take it to heart. There is no need for the young lady to mention the matter of entering the capital, otherwise don’t blame Li Zhen for being unkind."
Zhilan shouted in a sweet voice: "People are doing good for you, why don't you appreciate it?"
Li Zhen looked solemn and said in a cold voice: "Li Zhenxiao can't bear Miss's kindness. It's very humid at night. Miss, please go back to the tent to rest early." After saying that, Li Zhen turned around and left, no longer talking to Zhi.
Lan spoke.
Zhi Lan stared at Li Zhen's back, her lips tightened, and a look of grievance appeared on her face.
She had good intentions, but she received cold words from Li Zhen in return.
Zhilan felt uncomfortable, but she had no choice. Especially Zhilan had a small thought in her mind. If Li Zhen came to Beijing as an official, she and Li Zhen could see each other often, but it was a thankless effort.
"Stinky stone, stinky stone!"
Zhilan complained in a low voice and returned to the camp angrily.
Li Zhen stopped, looked back at Zhi Lan's back, and shook his head slightly.
Turning his eyes, he found He Ming smiling at him.
He Ming felt proud when he saw that Li Zhen had angered Zhi Lan. He Ming knew that Qi Shan had the intention of marrying Gui Liang, so Qi Shan would not only not offend Zhi Lan, but also try his best to protect Zhi Lan. Now Li Zhen is offended
With Zhilan behind him, he had the opportunity to overthrow Li Zhen. He Ming turned around and left, heading towards the Chinese army's tent.
Qishan was old, so he took a carriage ride for another day and rested early.
He couldn't sleep well because of his age, but He Ming woke him up, which made Qi Shan a little unhappy, but Qi Shan still asked patiently: "He Ming, you came to see me in the middle of the night. Is there anything urgent?"
He Ming immediately said: "Sir, it's about Li Zhen."
Qi Shan raised his eyebrows and said, "Li Zhen is fine, what happened?"
He Ming lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Miss Zhilan has a distinguished status, so she condescended to thank Li Zhen. However, Li Zhen shouted at Miss Zhilan and sent Miss Zhilan back to the camp in anger. Sir, Zhilan
Lan is Lord Guiliang's precious daughter. If Li Zhen angered Miss Zhilan, he would have angered Lord Guiliang, which is not good for you. I will report this to you in the future, hoping that you will take this matter to heart so as not to worry about Li Zhilan.
I missed something big because of my excitement."
Qi Shan thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Go and send the order for Li Zhen to come see me."
"Yes, General Mo will go right away."
He Ming was overjoyed and walked out of the tent expressionlessly, brought the news to Li Zhen, and then returned to the tent with Li Zhen. Qishan looked at He Ming and scolded: "I am talking to Li Zhen, you are standing here
What are you doing here? Go out and wait." When He Ming heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he walked out helplessly, regretting that he could not see Li Zhen being trained.
Li Zhen asked: "Sir, what's the matter with you calling for the general?"
Qi Shan asked directly: "I heard from He Ming that you scolded Zhilan?"
Li Zhen sneered in his heart when he heard Qishan said that it was He Ming who made the complaint. He was already thinking of dealing with He Ming.
However, Li Zhen said respectfully: "Reporting to your lord, just now Miss Zhilan came to the general and said that in order to repay the general, she wanted Lord Guiliang to find a job for the general in the capital and transfer him to the capital as an official. The general was unwilling.
, he refuted Miss Zhilan, but did not say anything rude. If the general did something wrong, please punish me."
Qi Shan was not angry but happy, and even happier.
Li Zhen refused Zhi Lan's offer of repayment. This was because he was loyal to him!
For a moment, Qi Shan forgot about Zhilan's matter and said with a smile: "You did a good job. Showing your true nature as a man by showing kindness without repaying it. On the contrary, He Ming didn't do his business, so you went to pass the order and punished twenty people with the stick."
Army stick, let him keep his mouth shut."
"Thank you, sir."
Li Zhen bowed, turned and left.
Qi Shan looked at Li Zhen's leaving figure with a smile, thinking about Zhi Lan and Li Zhen's affairs. Did Zhi Lan want to repay her kindness? Or did she have other ideas?
