"Hiss~~~" Major General Huang Shengjie suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the telegram in the governor's hand with an expression of disbelief.

It was a commendation and promotion order, a telegram from the Army Command.

The telegram confirmed that Zhang Cheng had been promoted to lieutenant colonel for his meritorious service in defending the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the army command also sent a telegram commending the entire London garrison. Under this surging tide of public opinion at this time, this can definitely be regarded as a turning point of God.

"What are you excited about?" The pale-haired Governor glanced sideways at Major General Huang Shengjie, and a thick look of disdain flashed in the depths of his eyes, "Does this have anything to do with you?" ”

Major General Huang Shengjie immediately withered, retracted his body and hung his head to continue to make his own sculpture. It's just that there is irrepressible anger in his lowered eyes. The hands under the table were clenched into fists, and the knuckles of the fingers were faintly white.

"You all wait for Lao Tzu!" Major General Huang Shengjie's heart was roaring angrily: "When the Zhang family's revenge comes, all your current scenery will be spit out to Lao Tzu!" ”

Major General Huang Shengjie, who lost all his reputation because of his escape from the battle, can be regarded as a complete disrepute in the army. If there is no accident, he will not want to go up again in this life. At this moment, Major General Huang Shengjie, who had nothing else to ask for, was full of only the idea of revenge on Zhang Cheng, who provoked the incident, and the governor, who kept humiliating him.

The Governor put down the telegram in his hand, raised his hand and rubbed his brow. After a while, he looked sideways at Zhang Cheng, who was sitting on the other side of him, and asked softly with complicated eyes, "Even if you avoided this matter, but what are you going to do on the Zhang family's side?" ”

Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows, a faint smile was drawn on the corner of his mouth, and he handed over another telegram in his hand.

"Shh~~~" This time it was replaced by the Governor's Majesty gasping.

As a figure of the older generation, the Governor knows very well how powerful the head of the Zhang family is! Back then, when he was competing for the position of the head of the family, he was able to force Lord Shoufu away, and then single-handedly brought the Zhang family into the ranks of top families, and he was definitely a stunning and brilliant figure!

Only, he died.

A man dies like a lamp goes out. All the glory and sorrow of the past are gone with the wind. Even if it is as strong as the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, what can it do? After death, there is nothing left?

As a person of the same generation, the Governor was also slightly in a trance. The head of the Zhang family was definitely a powerful figure in their young era, and even the Governor was very feared and admired, and now he is finally dead. It's the end of an era.

"You." After half a ring, the Governor who came back to his senses looked at Zhang Cheng on the side with complicated eyes. He shook his head, with a hint of exhaustion in his tone, "Let's go well in the future." ”

Zhang Cheng smiled and nodded, glanced at the Englishman who was confused and confused, and got up to leave with the Governor. Now that the nature of the matter has been set on the mainland, there is no need to continue wasting time with the British.

Major General Huang Shengjie, who was also puzzled, frowned and leaned in to look at the telegram left on the table by the Governor. As soon as he glanced at it, his eyes suddenly widened, and his body trembled uncontrollably. His biggest reliance and backer is over!

There is no longer any need to continue negotiations with the British. When the Ming Dynasty made up its mind, Britain at this moment was powerless to fight. The so-called protests and threats do not make any sense at all. Since the army command gave such a telegram, it means that the imperial court has made the final judgment that they are in favor of the concession approach.

Zhang Cheng returned to the mansion given to him by Xu Mu and waved for the servants to leave. Sit on the couch and rest with your head up, close your eyes and rest for a while, your fingers tapping lightly on the armrests of the couch. After a few moments, he got up and went to the wine cabinet to pour himself a glass of whiskey, and slowly walked to the pristine window with the glass in hand. looked at the traffic outside the window with a slight distraction, slowly lowered his eyelids, and his heart was silent.

Zhang Cheng is actually not willing to waste time on these things. There are many things he wants to do, but this infighting is definitely not included. It's just that there are too many unsatisfactory things in the world, and now Zhang Cheng can only deal with it as much as possible.

"Hopefully things will be better when we get home." Zhang Cheng took a sip of his wine glass, and looked at the clouds outside the window with a somewhat distracted gaze. Sighing lightly, "So much information must be transformed into real products as soon as possible." Judging by the actions of the British this time, they can't wait. ”

After being strongly rejected by Da Ming, he looked at the long list of hundreds of casualties. The British finally understood that it was impossible to compete with the Ming Empire by relying solely on their own strength.

As long as those British politicians. The rulers are not stupid, they will understand that if they want to take back the interests that once belonged to them from the hands of the Ming Dynasty, or if they want to get more, they can only unite all the forces that can be united!

War is inevitable.

Zhang Cheng frowned slightly, leaned against the window, and quietly thought about his future actions. I don't know how long it was, but the ringing of the phone woke him from his musings. Raising his eyelids and looking out the window, he realized that he didn't know when a large area of fiery clouds had surged in the sky, and the sun was falling in the west, and it was already dusk.

Zhang Cheng shook his head and chuckled, put down the wine glass in his hand, came to the phone, and picked up the microphone, "I'm Zhang Cheng." ”

"Sir." Guan Kuo's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Things have been arranged, at seven o'clock in the evening, Xiangjiang restaurant." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Cheng nodded in response, "I see." ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Cheng came to the sofa and sat down to close his eyes and recuperate. There have been too many things going on in recent times, and it has also made him very tired. Now he really wants to get some rest.

Time passed, and the light in the quiet room dimmed. Zhang Cheng, who had taken a nap, suddenly trembled slightly, opened his eyes and woke up, and looked at the time, it was already more than six o'clock in the evening.

Just now, Zhang Cheng dreamed in his sleep about the previous scene at the entrance of the concession area. The deaths and injuries of hundreds of civilians also gloomy Zhang Cheng's expression. He's not born a murderer, it's just that there's no other choice.

He shook his head and expelled the distractions from his mind. After stretching hard and yawning loudly, Zhang Cheng got up and went to his lavishly decorated bedroom. After opening the wardrobe, I suddenly realized that most of the clothes in my wardrobe were military uniforms.

Shaking his head and chuckling, he pulled out a white shirt and a pair of black pants. When he came outside, he changed into shiny leather shoes and strode out of his mansion. Outside the door, they had been waiting for a long time

"It's fine." Lin Run'e, who was wearing delicate light makeup on her face, leaned over slightly and comforted her good friend with kind words: "Didn't you refuse?" I also quarreled with my parents. If he is sincere to you, he will understand you. ”

"Hmm." Xu Xuan, who had long hair and a shawl, pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded. It's just that the look on his face is still not improving, his delicate brows are tightly locked, and there is a hint of worry in his bright eyes that can't be concealed.

Xu Xuan didn't know that his father had agreed to a rich kid's request to go on a blind date, and only when he was notified did he angrily refuse!

That night, Xu Xuan, who had always been very quiet and very filial to his parents, blushed with his parents for the first time in his life. She never thought she would betray herself. I was worried and didn't know how to explain this matter to Zhang Cheng.

It didn't take long for the quaintly decorated box door to be pushed open. Zhang Cheng, who was in a white shirt and black slacks, walked in with a smile.

Seeing Lin Run'e next to Xu Xuan, Zhang Cheng was slightly stunned, and then nodded with a smile. After a brief greeting, Zhang Cheng sat on a chair and picked up the menu, and said casually, "Haven't ordered yet?" ”

Xu Xuan, who was frowning, pursed the corners of his mouth, suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhang Cheng with bright eyes, and said softly, "I didn't go." ”

Zhang Cheng paused, the corners of his mouth outlined a faint smile, his eyes looked at Xu Xuan, who looked solemn, and nodded slightly, "I know." ”

Zhang Cheng, who came from modern time and space, was educated since he was a child, and he had great respect for women. This is something that the vast majority of men in this era cannot do.

The gap between being born in a completely different era of science and technology makes Zhang Cheng stand out from the crowd in this era. Coupled with his good manners and temperament and outstanding reputation ability, Zhang Cheng is very popular with women. This can be seen from Lin Run'e's inexplicably weird eyes on the side.

"It's over, so don't mention it again." Zhang Cheng smiled, opened the menu and began to order.

Zhang Cheng knew very well in his heart that this kind of thing has nothing to do with women. It all depends on the man's abilities. Zhang Cheng had never thought about really killing Zhang Yao before, until Zhang Yao stretched out his hand to his woman. This is a rebellion that no man can bear, even if he will face the endless revenge of the Zhang family, Zhang Cheng is not afraid!

If you don't do some things, it's better to live than to die!

"I'll take care of everything from now on." A touch of tenderness flashed in Zhang Cheng's eyes, and he said softly, "Believe me, I will definitely make you happy." ”

Zhang Cheng was really surprised by Xu Xuan's choice. Parents in this era have almost absolute authority over their children. can make a girl who has always been quiet and well-behaved on weekdays blushing with her parents, no matter what the reason is, Zhang Cheng will be moved from the heart. If you meet such a good girl, then marry it.

Xu Xuan's heart, which had been a little tense, finally relaxed. She could feel the sincerity in Zhang Cheng's words. Pursing the corners of his mouth, he looked at Zhang Cheng with bright eyes, and nodded with a chuckle. Xu Xuan has never regretted his choice.
