Chapter 432: Keeping It or Not Keeping It

He Changying did not stay in the military station for a long time, he learned that Li Hongzhang lived in the courtyard of the nearby Chaoyin Temple, and it seemed that he had no intention of rushing back to Feixi for a while, so he asked Huang Bojie to send a post, planning to ask to see him overnight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Soon Huang Bojie came back quickly to tell that Li Hongzhang was in the courtyard and was willing to meet him.

Immediately, He Changying didn't care about eating, so she got into a carriage without any signs, and went to Li Hongzhang's courtyard under the escort of more than a dozen plainclothes soldiers with pistols.

At this time, the night was already dark, only the various shops on the street were lit with oil lamps, and some taverns were noisy, most of which were arguing about the recent Liaoyang war.

Compared with Lushun, which is isolated in one place, Fengtian, the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, is obviously more eye-catching.

In the few words He Changying heard through the curtain, he had already heard someone noisily suggesting that he take the Sheng army and reinforce the Korean army, go to Shanhaiguan by sea, and then reinforce Liaoyang.

Soon the carriage stopped and arrived at the annex.

Huang Bojie said a few words to Goshha, who was standing guard, and then opened the gate, and the carriage began to drive directly in.

"It's not appropriate."

He Changying lifted the curtain and said to Huang Bojie: "Stop the car and I'll go down." ”

"Lord He, this is what adults mean."

The big housekeeper of the Li Mansion, who had had a few encounters with He Changying, walked respectfully in the carriage at this time, and said to He Changying with a grateful smile on his face.

"Hmm."

He Changying said that he understood, although he couldn't hide the eyes of those who had a heart from doing so, as long as he didn't show his face, no one would dare to tear his face and say this to his face.

"Bang dang!"

With the sound of the gate falling, He Changying's heart shook slightly, since the last time he returned to Jinmen, a month and a half has passed.

So many things happened during this period, and Li Hongzhang, who was above 10,000 people at that time, was also ruthlessly swept into this corner by the Qing Dynasty.

He Changying cleaned up the complicated feelings in her heart, lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage.

Li Jingfang and Zhang Peilun, with complicated smiles, stood under the eaves and waited.

"Ann."

"Brother Boxing, Brother Youqiao."

The three of them bowed their hands.

At this time, Li Jingfang's heart was full of remorse, and when he escaped from Lushun on a warship in the early morning of the 14th, he would never have imagined that in these short ten days, the war situation in the entire Northeast had actually undergone earth-shaking changes.

Lushun couldn't help but be unharmed, and He Changying, Xu Bangdao, and Lian Shun allied forces actually inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army, forcing the Japanese army to stop the offensive.

On the contrary, the Liaoyang battle situation, which was more reliable, was completely defeated.

"If I hadn't left Lushun—"

Li Jingfang just thought about it, and he regretted it so much that he stomped his feet, when his father lost power, it was when his eldest son stood up and stood up, but because of his timidity.

And Zhang Peilun on the side also looked at He Changying with admiration, this time the emperor ordered He Changying to return to Beijing to discuss the Northeast military, which shocked too many people.

This means that He Changying has become a general who can summarize the overall situation in the emperor's heart, you must know that he is only twenty-four years old this year, how can he not be shocked.

"Lord Naka——, I'm waiting in the hall."

Zhang Peilun was used to shouting Li Hongzhang, and as soon as the words came out, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he brought it over vaguely.

He Changying nodded, looking at the thick curtain, there was no longer a curtain general at this time, and in the small courtyard, there were only the old housekeeper and two subordinates with lanterns to serve.

"Generals, please go to the home remedy and rest and drink a bowl of hot tea."

Steward Li saw He Changying walking towards the living room, and hurriedly greeted Huang Bojie and the others.

When the thick curtain is lifted, the eyes are suddenly bright and warm.

He Changying saw Li Hongzhang sitting quietly on the Taishi chair, looking at him with wide eyes.

"Say hello to the middle hall."

He Changying did not hesitate to come to a half-knee kneeling, for this kneeling, He Changying was completely willing, whether it was because of Li Hongzhang's age or the help he had given him in the past few months.

"Where am I still a middle hall adult? It's just a street rat and a traitor who shouts and kills all over the country; Everyone else is far away from me, for fear of being affected, but your kid is evil and bold, and he is not afraid that it will be passed on to Liu Kunyi and Weng Tongyi? ”

Li Hongzhang's voice 'buzzed' and trembled in the room, startling Li Jingfang, Zhang Peilun, and the family members who were eavesdropping in the back, all changed their faces.

Since Li Hongzhang entered this annex, the old Beiyang protégés, including Sheng Huaixuan and Luo Ronglu, these Li Hongzhang's great graces have disappeared.

It's hard to get a great freshness today, and people still come to see them as soon as they get off the boat, but don't be angry with your father and run away.

"The kid has a clear conscience, why be afraid?"

He Changying's face was calm.

"Good one with a clear conscience, get up."

Regarding He Changying's arrival, Li Hongzhang liked it from the bottom of his heart, and couldn't help but complain a few words that he had been holding back for a long time.

He had always taken it for granted that Beiyang was united and strong, and repeatedly protected and tolerated his subordinates, but everything these days made Li Hongzhang completely chilled.

He Changying sat down, a pretty maid brought hot tea, and He Changying lost her mind and found that this was not Li Jingpu's personal maid Xing'er.

I wonder how her miss is doing these days?

Seeing Xing'er come out to deliver tea, Li Hongzhang has never paid attention to these subtleties, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, Li Jingfang and Zhang Peilun looked at each other and smiled bitterly, knowing that this was a small reminder from Li Jurong.

But the Li family has declined, and it is not bad for this great freshness and nobility to come to the door, how can it be possible to propose a marriage that both parties tacitly agreed before, but neither of them broke it.

He Changying stared at Xing'er's slightly red little face, but saw that Xing'er deliberately didn't look at herself, her eyes fluttered, and after delivering the tea, she hurriedly ran back to the back room.

This girl is not such a small guts, why is she so shy?

He Changying was slightly surprised, but didn't think much about it, took a sip of hot tea, and saw that there wasn't even a melon and fruit snack on the table, so she couldn't help but ask: "Lord Zhongtang has no snacks, and I haven't eaten at noon." ”

"Pss

There were a few women's laughter in the back wing, and it seemed that there were quite a few people listening to the sound in the back.

This can't blame Li Ju Lotus for them, there are many people in the courtyard these days, and finally one has come, and he is now a victorious general who is famous all over the world, how can everyone not be curious.

"Xing'er, you go get some snacks and feed General He's hunger."

As soon as Li Jurong's words fell, Li Jingpu whispered with a hint of frightened shyness: "Sister, didn't we wrap buns today, and send them to Reyire." ”

"Giggles, this bun is only for my own room-"

Li Jurong saw Li Jingpu's changed face, and hurriedly stopped, regretting her big mouth in her heart.

The ripples in these back wings, of course, the front hall was not noticed, and when He Changying sat down, Li Hongzhang asked directly to the point: "Can Lushun keep it?" ”

Suddenly, the living room and the side room were silent, and everyone was waiting with bated breath for the answer He Changying gave.
