Chapter 25: Faint Feelings
Qi Shan and the others left Tai'an Mansion, went out of Shandong, entered Zhili, and headed for Beijing.
Along the way, Qishan hurried to the road.
Even, many times they still camped in the wilderness and did not go to the post station to rest.
I missed the post station because of the continuous hurry, and this night I camped in the wilderness. Zhilan and Die'er are separate tents, and Gurdu keeps vigil for Zhilan. Qi Shan had already rested, and Li Zhen was still patrolling the camp. Huang Shihai followed Li Zhen and said in a low voice: "My lord, have you noticed it, Miss Zhilan looks at you a little differently. ”
Li Zhen smiled and asked, "What's the difference?" ”
Huang Shihai pondered for a moment, scratched his head, thought about it carefully, and said: "Anyway, the humble position feels that the look is different, if you say that it is different, the humble position can't say it." ”
Li Zhen said with a smile: "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 about it and keep patrolling the night. ”
Seeing that Huang Shihai wanted to speak and stopped, Li Zhen said: "I know and can understand your thoughts, but you must know that we are Han generals, and we are the most ordinary generals. Zhilan is a native of Manchuria, and the daughter of Guiliang, the secretary of the military department, and her family is prominent, and some things are not so simple. ”
After hearing this, Huang Shihai sighed lightly.
There is indeed a huge gap between the Han and the Banner people.
Li Zhen sighed when he saw Huang Shihai, and he was amused in his heart.
He has a good impression of Zhilan, but he is not tempted, after all, when he sees beautiful things, anyone will be pleasing to the eye. Especially when Zhilan was born with a beautiful appearance and a moon, Li Zhen naturally did not feel bad. As for more ideas, Li Zhen didn't, his mind was not in this area, and he still had ambitions.
The identities of the two parties are different, and Li Zhen also looked at Zhilan with the intention of appreciating the beauty, and had no other thoughts.
"My lord, Miss Zhilan is here."
Huang Shihai whispered and left automatically.
Li Zhen looked back and found Zhilan wearing a brocade robe and walking towards him with small steps. Li Zhen arched his hand and said, "It's late at night, why hasn't Miss Zhilan rested yet?" ”
Zhilan walked up to Li Zhen and said softly, "The general is not resting. ”
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "I am responsible for the safety of the camp, and if I have to patrol the surroundings, I naturally can't rest, otherwise I will be derelict in my duty if I go on a business trip." After a pause, Li Zhen said again: "Miss Zhilan hasn't rested, is she not used to living in the wild." If that's the case, I'm afraid you'll have to plan for tomorrow, or you'll probably end up in the wilderness tomorrow. ”
A hint of blush appeared on Zhilan's charming face, she blinked her big eyes, and said softly: "General Li is so considerate, if anyone marries General Li, it will be really blessed." ”
"Uh......"
Li Zhen's eyes widened, looking at Zhilan with an incredulous expression.
What does that mean?
However, Li Zhen quickly calmed down the surprise in his heart, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhilan said that she was joking, Li Zhen is just a vulgar and reckless man in the army, who only knows about fighting and killing, who is rare!" ”
Zhilan chuckled and said, "Zhilan gave the general a chance, what does the general think?" ”
Li Zhen asked, "Miss Zhilan has something to say. ”
Rao is Li Zhen is determined, and he was also a little swayed by Zhilan's words.
He swept his eyes and found that He Ming secretly appeared among the soldiers patrolling the night, glancing in his direction from time to time. Li Zhen sneered in his heart, knowing that this was He Ming's jealousy of him, and He Ming was eager to knock him down immediately, so as to hit Wu Qigong. It's just that with Li Zhen's current identity, He Ming can't shake Li Zhen.
Zhilan and Li Zhen walked in the camp and said softly: "The general saved Zhilan, and Ama will definitely repay the general." As long as Ama recommends, the general can easily be transferred from the Jiangbei battalion to the Beijing Division as an official, I don't know what the general wants? ”
When Li Zhen heard this, it turned out that he was repaying his kindness, and it seemed that he had thought too much.
Li Zhen shook his head and said, "Miss is very loving, and I have received it in my heart." saved the young lady that day, but she was just acting on orders, and the young lady didn't have to worry about it. ”
Since it was to repay the favor, Li Zhen refused without hesitation.
Zhilan frowned slightly, and said: "General, if you are fighting in the Jiangbei camp, fighting and killing all day long, even if you are bleeding and desperate, you are just a miscellaneous general, and it is difficult to increase the rank and rank of knight." If you enter Beijing as an official, with the help of my Amma, you will definitely rise to the top, and it is not difficult to become an official and become a knight, this is an opportunity. ”
Zhilan looked at Li Zhen expectantly, looked at Li Zhen's angular cheeks, and her heart was pounding.
Li Zhen listened to Zhilan's words, and felt very uncomfortable.
He said in a deep voice: "Miss Zhilan, everyone is gracious, and not everyone likes to climb high branches. Li Zhen has a warm blood, sound limbs, and can fight desperately on the battlefield. Although it is hard, he has a clear conscience and no complaints. I reiterate again that I saved Miss that day and acted on orders, and Miss didn't have to take it to heart. Miss doesn't need to mention the matter of entering Beijing, otherwise don't blame Li Zhen for being unreasonable. ”
Zhilan shouted: "People are good for you, why don't you appreciate it?" ”
Li Zhen's face was solemn, and he said coldly: "Miss is kind, Li Zhenxiao can't stand it." In the evening, the humidity is heavy, so the young lady should go back to the camp early to rest. After finishing speaking, Li Zhen turned around and left, no longer talking to Zhilan.
Zhilan stared at Li Zhen's back, her lips pursed, and her face showed a look of grievance.
She was kind-hearted, but in exchange for Li Zhen's cold words.
Zhilan felt uncomfortable, but she was helpless. Especially Zhilan still has careful thoughts in her heart, if Li Zhen enters Beijing as an official, she and Li Zhen can also meet often, but it is a pity that it is thankless.
"Stinky stones, smelly stones!"
Zhilan complained in a low voice and returned to the camp with a huff.
Li Zhen stopped, looked back at Zhilan's back, and shook his head slightly.
Turning his gaze, he found He Ming smiling at him.
He Ming saw that Li Zhen had angered Zhilan, and his heart became proud. He Ming knew that Qi Shan had the intention of marrying Gui Liang, so Qi Shan not only would not offend Zhilan, but would also try his best to protect Zhilan. Now that Li Zhen has offended Zhilan, his opportunity to overthrow Li Zhen has come, He Ming turned around and left, heading towards the big tent of the Chinese army.
Qi Shan was old, and after another day of carriage ride, he rested early.
He didn't sleep well when he was old, but He Ming woke him up, which made Qi Shan a little unhappy, but Qi Shan still asked patiently: "He Ming, are you looking for this official in the middle of the night, is there anything urgent?" ”
He Ming immediately said: "My lord, it's about Li Zhen." ”
Qi Shan raised his eyebrows and said, "Li Zhen is good, what happened?" ”
He Ming lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Miss Zhilan's status is noble, and she deigns to thank Li Zhen." But Li Zhen shouted at Miss Zhilan and made Miss Zhilan angry back to the camp. My lord, Zhilan is the baby daughter of Lord Gui Liang, and if Li Zhen angers Miss Zhilan, he angers Lord Gui Liang, which is not good for adults. In the end, I will report to the adults, which is to hope that the adults will take this matter to heart, so as not to miss the big thing because of Li Zhen. ”
Qi Shan thought about it, waved his hand and said, "You go and give an order, let Li Zhen come to see me." ”
"Yes, the last general will go."
He Ming was overjoyed, walked out of the tent with an expressionless face, brought the news to Li Zhen, and then returned to the big tent with Li Zhen. Qi Shan looked at He Ming and scolded: "I'll talk to Li Zhen, what are you doing standing here, go out and wait." When He Ming heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he walked out helplessly, regretting that he couldn't see Li Zhen's training.
Li Zhen asked, "My lord, you brought the last general, is there anything wrong?" ”
Qi Shan asked directly: "I heard He Ming say that you scolded Zhilan?" ”
Li Zhen heard Qi Shan say that it was He Ming's complaint, and sneered in his heart, he already had thoughts about dealing with He Ming.
However, Li Zhen said respectfully: "Lord Huiyu, just now Miss Zhilan found the last general, saying that in order to repay the last general, she wanted Lord Guiliang to find an errand for the last general in the capital and transfer him to the capital as an official. The last general was unwilling, so he refuted Miss Zhilan, but he did not say anything disrespectful. If the general does something wrong, please condemn him. ”
Qi Shan was not angry but happy, but even happier.
Li Zhen rejected Zhilan's repayment, this is loyal to him!
For a while, Qi Shan threw Zhilan's affairs out of the clouds, and said with a smile: "You did a good job." Grace does not want to reciprocate, Fang shows the true colors of a man. On the contrary, He Ming didn't do anything, you went to give the order, and the staff scolded the twenty military sticks, so that he could take care of his mouth. ”
"Thank you, sir."
Li Zhen saluted, turned and left.
Qi Shan looked at Li Zhen's departing back with a smile, thinking about the matter of Zhilan and Li Zhen, what did Zhilan want to repay the favor? Or do you have something else in mind?
