When Shanapova heard this, her face lit up with joy.
Li Zhen finally came to propose marriage.
After hearing the soldier's report, Alexander II was furious. He stood up abruptly, with blazing anger in his eyes. He slapped his hand on the desk and roared loudly: "Asshole, Li Zhen bullies people too much."
When the soldiers saw this, they were immediately stunned.
Shanapova also had a puzzled look on her face, because she didn't understand why Alexander II was angry. He was so angry, especially when Li Zhen invited Li Zhen to discuss the marriage. This should be a happy event, but why was he so angry?
At this time, Alexander II was filled with anger.
His body was shaking a little. He waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Go and tell the person who sent the message that Li Zhen wants to marry Shanapova and let him discuss it himself. The proposer did not take the initiative to discuss it, but let him I'm going to go, what's the point? I've never heard of a man staying at home when marrying a wife. Does this guy really think my daughter is so easy to marry? You bastard."
When Shanapova heard this, she immediately understood.
It turned out that Alexander II felt that his face had been weakened.
The soldier went to convey the message and passed the words of Alexander II to the person who came to convey the message.
Li Zhen came to ask Alexander II to discuss the marriage, and word spread quickly. Muravyov and Victor also got the news. Victor had a painful expression on his face and murmured: "Why, why do we We have known each other for so many years, but Shanapova doesn't like me and wants to marry Li Zhen, why, why is this?"
Victor kept scratching his head, feeling depressed.
Muravyov scolded: "Useless stuff."
Victor trembled, and then said: "I'm really useless. I can't beat Li Zhen in a fight, and I can't snatch a woman from Li Zhen. What's the point of my life?"
Muravyov said in a deep voice: "If you lose to Li Zhen in the battle, the woman you like will become Li Zhen's woman. All of this is a shame. In the face of shame, men cannot be timid. What you have to do now is revenge. Revenge." Muravyov could not think of a way to deal with his infatuated son. He could only use revenge to stimulate Victor and cheer him up.
Sure enough, Victor's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, yes, I want revenge."
Muravyov said: "You want revenge, what should you do next?"
"Father, please teach me. I must take revenge and defeat Li Zhen." Victor's eyes were filled with desire, and he gritted his teeth with a look of hatred on his face.
Muravyov said: "Son, since you want to take revenge, you must learn to be forbearing, hide all hatred, and then train soldiers and prepare more powerful weapons. You are still young and you still have enough time to take revenge. So, what you have to do now is to calm yourself down and wait for the day of revenge."
"Uh-huh."
Victor nodded repeatedly, his expression became determined, but there was a hint of sinisterness in his eyes.
…
The soldier who delivered the message returned to Vladivostok and immediately reported the news to Li Zhen.
At this time, Peng Yulin, Long Ao, Lu Shaochuan, Zhang Zhidong and others were all there.
After Zhang Zhidong heard this, he immediately said: "My lord, you must not go there in person. Not to mention that as the head of a party, you do not need to go in person to discuss marriage. It is just for your safety and you cannot go there in person." Go, if you go alone, wouldn't the situation be reversed once Alexander II detains you? I think you can't go."
Peng Yulin thought for a while and then said: "In addition to what Zhang Zhidong said, I even speculated whether Alexander II deliberately put Shanapova's marriage behind, hoping to let the prince go, and then suddenly Control the prince, we were the one who restrained Muravyov and others before, but if it were the other way around, the situation would not be good."
Li Zhen said: "In your opinion, what should it be like?"
Lu Shaochuan stood up, patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty, I will take care of this matter. I will propose marriage to you."
"Well……"
Long Yao looked at Lu Shaochuan strangely, looked him up and down, and said: "Lu Shaochuan, you went to the Russian military camp with this look. Are you planning to propose marriage to the prince, or are you planning to steal the bride? "
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the camp burst into laughter.
Lu Shaochuan snorted: "If the old Tsar agrees, I will propose marriage. If he doesn't agree, I will steal the bride."
Long Ao turned to Li Zhen and said: "Your Majesty, let me go. Lao Lu does things regardless of the consequences. If his head gets hot and a deadlock is caused, things will be difficult to handle."
Zhang Zhidong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the Russian military camp."
Li Zhen nodded, preferring Zhang Zhidong to go. This guy is extremely resourceful and has strong coping skills, so he is qualified for the job.
Li Zhen said: "Okay, let's go from Zhangzhidong."
…
Early the next morning, Zhang Zhidong arrived at the Russian military camp.
Alexander II looked at Zhang Zhidong, frowned and said: "You are the only one here, where is Li Zhen."
Zhang Zhidong smiled and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "As the overlord of a party, it is impossible for the prince to come in person to get married. This is the rule of our Qing Dynasty. I am a subordinate of the prince, and I will propose marriage on his behalf."
Alexander II said: "Li Zhen didn't come, so I don't care anymore. Let's talk about something more practical. If Li Zhen wants to marry Shanapova, what will he give as a betrothal gift?"
Zhang Zhidong said: "The prince has naturally prepared a generous betrothal gift and will not let Princess Shanapova feel wronged."
Alexander II leaned forward slightly, with a smile on his face, and said: "I'm afraid, with the betrothal gift given by Li Zhen, I can't marry Shanapova. Without enough betrothal gift, how can we show the grandness of the marriage."
Zhang Zhidong's heart moved and he knew that Tsar Lao Maozi must have some ideas.
Immediately, Zhang Zhidong asked: "I don't know what the Tsar wants as a betrothal gift."
Alexander II said: "Using Khabarovsk as the boundary, divide the area north of Khabarovsk as a betrothal gift."
"impossible."
Zhang Zhidong flicked his sleeves and flatly refused.
Zhang Zhidong did not expect that Alexander II would have such a big appetite that he would divide the territory as a betrothal gift. He clearly remembered that Li Zhen said that the issue of territory cannot be discussed. Similarly, the territory cannot be traded. The soldiers worked hard I have worked so hard to take back my territory, and now I have to give it away for a woman. This is very inappropriate.
Zhang Zhidong knew Li Zhen's character and there was no room for negotiation on this matter.
Alexander II said: "You don't agree."
Zhang Zhidong said loudly: "There is no room for negotiation."
Alexander II sneered and said: "In that case, there is no need for us to continue talking. Go back and tell Li Zhen about this matter and let Li Zhen weigh it himself. I will wait for his news."
Zhang Zhidong sneered in his heart and said goodbye directly.
