After paying homage to Zhu Wu and the dead soldiers of the Jiandao Battalion, Li Zhen returned with Huang Shihai, Qi Zhenhai and his party.
As soon as he returned to his house, Ye Chengzhong ran over.
Li Zhen saw Ye Mingchen running in a hurry and asked, "Xiaoye, what's the matter?"
Ye Chengzhong walked up to Li Zhen and lowered his voice and said: "Sir, Miss Zhilan is jealous when she heard that you brought a stunning beauty back. You should be careful. Several maids in the yard have suffered. After being scolded a lot, Miss Fang woke up. You should go to Miss Zhilan's yard first, or go see Miss Fang first."
Li Zhen looked bitter and Zhi Lan was jealous.
If Zhi Lan had known that Li Zhen had killed Fang Su's adoptive father and senior brother, she probably wouldn't have such thoughts.
Li Zhen waved his hands and said, "I'll go to Miss Fang's place first, and you can do your own work."
Ye Chengzhong had an expression like "I knew it was like this" and turned around to leave. Li Zhen walked alone towards the courtyard where Fang Su was placed, and stood at the door of the courtyard, but hesitated.
Li Zhen's feet seemed to be stuck, unable to take this step.
How to face Fang Su.
For the first time, Li Zhen felt like he was in trouble and didn't know what to do.
"Master Li is here, please come in."
The voice is cold and empty, going straight to the heart, and it is very pleasant to hear.
Li Zhen stepped into the yard, opened the door, and his eyes fell on Fang Su sitting on the bedside. At this moment, Fang Su was no longer wearing the red robe of her wedding, but had put on a snow-white dress, matching The beautiful face on her face was like a fairy, but the desolation in her eyes and a hint of paleness on her face showed Fang Su's state of mind at the moment.
Li Zhen walked in, bowed and said, "Miss Fang, I'm sorry."
Fang Su said: "I don't blame you, I blame myself."
Li Zhen felt even more unhappy. Looking at the woman in front of him who was so weak that a gust of wind could blow her down, he felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't know where to start.
Fang Su continued: "I think back then, if I had not taken the initiative to seek reconciliation with Master Li, there would not have been the killings on the ninth level, and the Heaven and Earth Society and Master Li would not have formed an irresolvable hatred. If there was no hatred, there would be no hatred. There will be the result that the foster father, senior brother, and uncles will be killed, let alone the destruction of the world. All the blame is caused by me alone. I don’t blame anyone, not Mr. Li, only myself. Too stupid."
Li Zhen opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but was speechless.
In fact, Li Zhenhe and the Tiandihui have always been incomprehensible.
The purpose of the Heaven and Earth Society is to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, and Li Zhen is still an official of the Qing Dynasty. Chen Qiankun cannot let Li Zhen go. Even if Li Zhen's ultimate goal is to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and change the pattern of China, but at the moment Li Zhen Without strength, it would be impossible for him to take the initiative to reveal his true feelings in order to win over Chen Qiankun.
The most important thing is that Chen Qiankun is not a person who is willing to be subordinate to others, and he cannot be willing to be Li Zhen's subordinate, so the two of them will eventually have a life-and-death fight, but Fang Su is mixed in and becomes the most critical one. piece.
Li Zhen said: "The world will be destroyed. What will Miss Fang do?"
Fang Su said: "We are home all over the world."
Li Zhen frowned and said: "It's not good for you to wander around alone as a girl. Why don't you let me..." Fang Su interrupted Li Zhen midway through his words and said firmly: "Master Li and I I have no relatives or friends, so I don’t need Mr. Li to arrange anything. I have lived for more than twenty years and have done things according to other people’s arrangements. Next, I will go my own way."
Li Zhen stopped insisting and said, "Wait a moment."
After saying that, Li Zhen left the room directly.
A flash of doubt flashed in Fang Su's eyes. She didn't understand what Li Zhen was going to do, but it was certainly impossible to harm her.
Not long after, Li Zhen came back again, holding a stack of silver notes in his right hand and a long sword in his left hand. Li Zhen put the silver notes and the long sword on the table and said, "This long sword is Miss Fang's. I asked someone to bring the sword, as well as one hundred thousand taels of silver notes and some small amounts of silver notes. If Miss Fang wants to leave, she must have enough money to pay, so I can only use this to express my feelings."
Without waiting for Fang Su to speak, Li Zhen turned around and left.
Fang Su silently put away a stack of banknotes and a long sword on the table, then walked out of the courtyard and left the Admiral's Mansion without any hesitation. Li Zhen walked to Zhi Lan's courtyard, and Zhi Lan immediately came up to him, her eyes full of tears. With a curious expression, seeing Li Zhen's depressed expression, Zhi Lan smiled and said, "General, why are you gone?"
"Nothing."
Li Zhen and Zhi Lan entered the room and sat on the bed hugging each other.
Zhilan was about to open her mouth to ask, but she saw Li Zhen lying down and closing his eyes, obviously not wanting to speak. Zhilan's face changed drastically, and she was about to fall out, but when she thought that she had followed Li Zhen, she held back her anger. Li Zhen closed his eyes and said nothing, and Zhi Lan also sat quietly. After a while, a slight snoring sounded, and Li Zhen fell asleep on the bed.
Zhilan saw Li Zhen's tired look after falling asleep, and his face seemed to be helpless, and her heart twitched. The man in front of her always had a smile on his face when he was with her, and he never showed worry on his face. .
All the troubles are borne by him alone.
At this moment, a real person appeared in front of Zhilan, which made her feel a little sad.
There were footsteps outside the room. Dong'er opened the door and walked in. Zhilan motioned to Dong'er to lower her voice. Dong'er walked to Zhilan's side softly and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, Zhilan smiled on her face.
What Dong'er was talking about was that Fang Su left with a long sword on his back.
Zhilan waved Dong'er to leave, then took off Li Zhen's clothes, shoes and socks, and let Li Zhen lie comfortably on the bed, staying with Li Zhen alone. Time passed, and Li Zhen slept until the evening, and woke up By that time, his energy had recovered a lot. Li Zhen looked at Zhilan who was sleeping beside the bed, and a flash of pity flashed across his face. He couldn't keep the person who was about to leave, so he had to cherish the person in front of him.
"Bang, bang."
Outside the room, there was a rapid knock on the door.
Zhi Lan was awakened and hurried to open the door. Ye Chengzhong stood outside the door and saluted Zhi Lan and said, "Madam, an old man came to see you and asked to see you."
"Who is coming?" Li Zhen asked.
Ye Chengzhong thought for a while and said: "It seems to be called Wei Yuan, yes, it is Wei Yuan."
"Wei Yuan."
Li Zhen suddenly opened his eyes wide, with a look of surprise on his face.
In particular, Ye Chengzhong said he was an old man, so he should undoubtedly be Wei Yuan in history.
If Lin Zexu was the first person in modern history to open his eyes to the world, then Wei Yuan was the person who broadened his horizons and carried on the past and opened up the future. Wei Yuan put forward the reform proposition of "changing the past to make it more convenient for the people", and advocated learning from Western advanced science and technology. Summarized the new idea of "learning from the skills of the barbarians to control the barbarians".
Such a national treasure actually came to Guangzhou and even came to the Admiral's Mansion.
Li Zhen was so excited that he hurriedly put on his boots, put his official uniform on his body, and ran outside quickly, buttoning his clothes as he ran.
Ye Chengzhong and Zhilan looked at each other, neither understanding why Li Zhen was so anxious.
Is he just an old man who is dying? Is it worth it?
