When Shanapova heard this, a happy color appeared on her face.

Li Zhen finally came to propose.

When Alexander II heard the soldier's report, he was furious. He stood up suddenly, his eyes flashed with rage, he slapped the desk with a slap, and roared loudly: "Bastard, Li Zhen is too bullying!" ”

When the soldier saw this, he was stunned.

Shanapova was also puzzled, because she did not understand why Alexander II was angry. is so decent, especially Li Zhen invited him to discuss the marriage, this should be a big joy, why is he angry?

At this moment, Alexander II's heart was filled with anger.

His body trembled a little, and with a wave of his big hand, he commanded in a deep voice: "Go and tell the messenger that Li Zhen wants to marry Shanapova and let him negotiate it himself." What is the reason why the suitor did not take the initiative to come to the discussion, but asked me to go? I have never heard of a man staying at home when he marries a wife, does this person really think that my daughter is so easy to marry? Bastard thing! ”

When Shanapova heard this, she immediately understood.

It turned out that Alexander II felt that his face was weakened.

The soldiers went to relay the message and passed the words of Alexander II to the people who had come to deliver the message.

The news of Li Zhenlai asking Alexander II to discuss the marriage soon spread. Muravyov and Viktor also got the news. With a painful expression on his face, Victor muttered: "Why, why have we known each other for so many years, but Shanapova doesn't like me and wants to marry Li Zhen." Why, why is that? ”

Victor kept scratching his head, and his mood was low.

Muravyov scolded: "Useless thing! ”

Victor's body trembled, and then he said: "I'm really useless, I can't beat Li Zhen in a war, and I can't rob Li Zhen in a woman." What is the meaning of me living! ”

Muravyov said in a deep voice: "If you lose the battle to Li Zhen, the woman you like will become Li Zhen's woman." All this is a shame. In the face of shame, men can't be cowardly, what you have to do now is revenge, revenge! Muravyov couldn't think of a way to deal with this infatuated son, so he could only use revenge to stimulate Viktor and cheer him up.

Sure enough, Victor's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, yes, I want revenge!" ”

Muravyov said: "If you want revenge, what should you do next?" ”

"Father, please teach me, I must take revenge and defeat Li Zhen." Victor gritted his teeth with a look of longing in his eyes, a look of hatred.

Muravyov said: "Son, since you want revenge, you must learn to forbear, hide all hatred, and then train your soldiers and prepare more powerful weapons." You are still young and have plenty of time to get revenge. So, what you have to do now is to silence yourself and wait for the day of revenge. ”

"Hmmm! Well! ”

Victor nodded repeatedly, his expression became resolute, but there was a touch of gloom in his eyes.

……

The soldiers who delivered the message returned to Vladivostok and immediately reported the news to Li Zhen.

At this time, Peng Yulin, Long Xi, Lu Shaochuan, Zhang Zhidong and others were all there.

After Zhang Zhidong heard this, he immediately said: "Lord Wang, you must not go in person. Not to mention that you are the head of one party, you don't need to go in person to talk about marriage, just for your safety, you can't go! If you go alone, won't it be the other way around once Alexander II detains you? I don't think this thing can 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 the matter of Shanapova's marriage behind, wanting to let the prince go, and then suddenly restrain the prince. Previously, it was we who restrained Muravyov and others, but if it was the other way around, the situation would not be good. ”

Li Zhen said: "In your opinion, what should it be? ”

Lu Shaochuan stood up, patted his chest and said, "Lord Wang, this matter is on me." I'm going to propose to you! ”

"Uh......"

Long Yu looked at Lu Shaochuan strangely, he looked up and down, and said: "Lu Shaochuan, you went to the barracks of the Russian army with this appearance, are you going to propose marriage to the prince?" I'm still ready to rob my relatives! ”

When the words fell, the camp tent burst into laughter.

Lu Shaochuan snorted and said: "If the tsar's **son agrees, I will go to propose marriage." If he doesn't agree, I'll go and rob him. ”

Long Xi turned his gaze to Li Zhen and said, "Lord Wang, let me go." Lao Lu is reckless, and if his head is hot and causes an impasse, things will be difficult to handle. ”

Zhang Zhidong stood up and said, "Lord Wang, I am willing to go to the barracks of the Russian army." ”

Li Zhen nodded, preferring Zhang Zhidong to go. This kid is extremely witty and coping, and he is competent enough to do it.

Li Zhen said: "Okay, go from Zhang Zhidong." ”

……

Early the next morning, Zhang Zhidong came to the barracks of the Russian army.

Alexander II looked at Zhang Zhidong and frowned: "You are the only one who comes, what about Li Zhen?" ”

Zhang Zhidong smiled, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "As the overlord of one party, it is impossible for the prince to marry in person, this is the rule of our Great Qing Kingdom. I am a subordinate of the prince, and I propose marriage for the prince. ”

Alexander II said: "Li Zhen did not come, and the emperor did not care. Let's talk about something practical, Li Zhen wants to marry Shanapova, what will he take as a dowry? ”

Zhang Zhidong said: "The prince has naturally prepared a rich dowry, and he will not let Princess Shanapova be wronged." ”

Alexander II leaned forward slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "I'm afraid, the dowry given by Li Zhen can't marry Shanapova!" Without enough dowry, how can the grandeur of the marriage be highlighted? ”

Zhang Zhidong's heart moved, knowing that the Tsar's ** son must have an idea.

Immediately, Zhang Zhidong asked: "I don't know what Your Excellency the Tsar wants as a dowry?" ”

Alexander II said: "Take the city of Boli as the boundary, and divide the area north of the city of Boli as a dowry." ”

"Impossible!"

Zhang Zhidong flicked his sleeves and flatly refused.

Zhang Zhidong did not expect Alexander II's appetite to be so great that he wanted to divide the territory as a dowry. He clearly remembered that Li Zhen had said that the territorial issue could not be discussed. In the same way, territory cannot be traded. It is not appropriate for the soldiers to reclaim their territory, which they have worked so hard to reclaim, and now to give it up for the sake of a woman.

Zhang Zhidong knows Li Zhen's character, and there is no room for negotiation in 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 this case, there is no need for us to continue talking. Go back and tell Li Zhen about this, let Li Zhen weigh it himself, and I will wait for his news. ”

Zhang Zhidong sneered in his heart and left directly.
