Liu Nian was very depressed, Zhang Ning meant clearly, let him not care about whether he showed his face today, anyway, he would help him fight for the credit he should get, and set his sights on the real battlefield.

"I can't swallow this breath, it was originally Gu Chun's sideways intervention." He muttered quietly.

It's a shame to be emotional. Zhang Ning sighed and said, "You have been with Gu Chun for two or three months, what do you think of him?" If you don't talk about righteousness, will you rob your colleagues of the credit? ”

Liu Nian thought about it carefully, and the scenes of his acquaintance with Gu Chun flashed through his mind. Since childhood, he and Gu Chun have been enemies, he and Zhang Ning and a group of nephews of the earl's family have formed a gang, Gu Chun and Song Cheng and a group of marquis's nephews are a gang, and the two sides have fought countless times.

However, Gu Chun is not active in fighting, preferring to shout in the back, and there has never been a situation of black hands behind his back. In the past two or three months, the two have trained sergeants together in the Shenji Battalion, and they live next to each other, but they haven't seen him do anything dirty.

Zhang Ning didn't speak, just waited for the water to boil, made tea, put a cup of tea in front of him, picked up another cup by himself, and drank it slowly.

After a long while, Liu Niancai said: "I'll just say, it's the old guy Zhenyuanhou who is behind the ghost." "He wasn't wrong, and that made him feel better.

Zhang Ning smiled and said: "As soon as you came, you said that it was the Marquis of Zhenyuan, which shows that in your heart, you still believe in Gu Chun, and treat him as a brother." What do you have to do with your brothers? What is there to consider between brothers? As for the Marquis of Zhenyuan, he is your boss, what he does, naturally he has his reasons, you just have to do your own thing. ”

"Yes." Liu Nian's eyes suddenly brightened, slapped his thigh, and said, "Thinking about it like this, I really don't blame him." "The good brother didn't betray him, which made him feel good.

Zhang Ning smiled: "This is the best." In the future, on the battlefield, you will either lead a team or act together, but no matter what, you are all comrades, brothers, and you must take care of each other, and there must be no suspicion. ”

"I will. I hope Gu Chun will too. Liu Nian said quickly: "As for the old guy from Zhenyuan Hou, as you said, he is the head of the Gu family, and he has to think about the long-term of the family. Forget it, I'm not going to bother with this old fellow. ”

Zhang Ning patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's best to think like this." "He can focus on the big picture, which shows that he has really grown up.

Liu Nian said bluntly: "We are good brothers, I believe you won't lie to me." ”

"Of course I won't lie to you." Zhang Ning motioned for him to drink tea, and then asked, "Have you eaten?" ”

"Nope. I'm on duty, I can't stay here for long, I have to leave quickly. He poured the tea into his mouth and hurried away.

Zhang Ning looked at him as if he was burning his buttocks, smiled dumbly, and told Ren Rong to find Gu Chun.

…………

Gu Chun and a group of generals ate a large piece of meat, very happy, heard that Zhang Ning was looking for it, and told the generals at the same table to confess their crimes, washed their hands, and hurried over.

As soon as he left, some generals said enviously: "It's good to be reincarnated, General Gu is not only from a famous family, but also a close friend of Lord Zhang, which is not as good as anyone present." ”

Who of the generals of the three battalions is not fighting for their lives? Only Gu Chun and Liu Nian are outliers. This person's words immediately resonated with everyone at the table, and everyone nodded in agreement, and it was even more humane: "I hope that there will be a chance to go on the expedition, you and I will fight for a title, and future generations can have a good background like them." ”

The next time I go to the battlefield, I will fight for a knighthood even if I fight for my life, so as to shade my descendants.

is even more humane: "Look at the family Master Zhang, we were able to be crowned a marquis at a young age, this luck, we will be reincarnated ten times, and we will not be able to catch up." ”

"Not really." There was another chorus of approval.

After agreeing, there was silence on the table, Zhang Ning and the Empress Dowager's bet was known to everyone in Beijing, whether it was the eunuch or the people, they thought that he would definitely not be able to complete it, but they didn't expect that it had only been a few months, and before the army had set out, Zhang Ning had become the Marquis of Xingchang.

People are more popular than dead people.

I don't know how long it took, someone said softly: "After returning to the court, Lord Zhang, oh, no, Marquis Zhang is going to marry the county lord of Anding, right?" At that time, he will be a county horse. ”

"And Miss Yang. They were married at the same time by His Majesty. Someone said, glancing quietly at the tables where the civil servants were eating. The civil officials are respected by the three Yangs, and among the three Yangs, Yang Shiqi is respected, and it is Yang Shiqi who sits in the first place.

There was silence on the table again, because everyone thought of one thing, Zhang Ning himself was a noble son, and he was able to be a marquis, married the lord of Anding and became a relative of the emperor, and married Yang Shiqi and was a coquettish guest in the capital of civil officials...... He turned out to be happy among all the forces in the DPRK and China, except for the eunuchs.

Thinking about it this way, many people gasped.

Since the death of Wang Zhen, the eunuch party has fought within itself, ending with the death of Cao Jixiang, and now there is only one little eunuch Jia Xiaosi who is fourteen or fifteen years old by the emperor's side. Although this is smart, after all, he is young, and he has no elders around to mention him, so he doesn't know when he will be able to compete with Zhang Ning.

No, or he will never be able to compete with Zhang Ning.

In terms of friendship with the emperor, Zhang Ning does not lose to him, in terms of mind and skill, Zhang Ning is much stronger than him, is it not a rumor outside, Jia Xiaosi can become the factory director of the East Factory, or does he rely on Zhang Ning to help him? If the rumors are true, even the eunuchs have to accept Zhang Ning's love.

The generals at this table suddenly felt that their lives were gloomy, and compared with cattle people like Zhang Ning, they really lived to be dogs at an age.

Alas, even the meat in your mouth has no taste.

…………

Not to mention that the generals were deeply hit, it was only said that Gu Chun hurriedly came to Zhang Ning's tent and said, "A-Ning, is there something?" "You're in such a hurry to call me over, it's urgent, right?

Zhang Ning motioned for him to sit down, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, the Shenji Battalion showed a big face today, and you will probably be promoted soon." ”

Gu Chun smiled and said reservedly: "Thanks to your recommendation." Ah Nian also has credit for this matter. He was clear-minded, and after thinking about it, Zhang Ning called him over at this time, not to tell him that he would be promoted, right? He said, "I have asked my ancestor to add Ah Nian's name to the Gong Gong Chapter." ”

Zhang Ning and Liu Niancai have a friendship that they have been fighting together since childhood, and they must not be wrong about this.

It's very good. Zhang Ning bowed slightly and said, "I invited you over, not for this matter." ”

"So for what?" Gu Chun blurted out. What could be more important than asking for credit?

Zhang Ning said: "You, me, and Ah Nian are brothers, and this must not be forgotten." ”

...... "Gu Chun was stunned, you called me over just to say this?" There are no eyes on the battlefield, and only by handing over the back to the brother can he have the best chance of survival. Gu Chun understands this.

His throat was blocked, and after a while, he nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, you, me, and Ah Nian, the three of us, are brothers." A-Ning, I will always remember this, always and always in my heart. ”

Zhang Ning also said solemnly: "Me too." ”

The hands of the two were clasped tightly, although Liu Nian was missing on duty, but in their hearts, there was also a place for him.
