Li Zhen defeated Vasily, Chen Yuande and the Russian minister and others left silently.

Although Qi Shan watched Chen Yuande leave, he did not stop it. For Qi Shan, this victory is already the biggest benefit, if the Russians are forced to rush, it is not beautiful.

After getting out of the ring, the people cheered and celebrated, and their faces were full of joyful expressions.

After Qi Shan took Li Zhen, Zhilan and others to leave the place of the competition, he said with a smile: "Li Zhen, this time you won the victory against the Russians, not only for the Qing Dynasty, but also for you to be famous in Beijing, congratulations." ”

Li Zhen replied: "Without the support of the adults, it will be difficult for the last general to force the Russians into a corner and let them get out of Beijing." ”

Zhilan's wonderful eyes flickered, and a strange brilliance appeared in her eyes.

Qi Shan's eyes were vicious, and he found out about Zhilan's situation, which was clearly no different from the girl in Huaichun.

, a big girl in her early twenties who didn't get married, is now also moving.

Qi Shan thought that if Li Zhen and Zhilan got married, and Li Zhen was loyal to him, this would be the best opportunity to form an alliance with Gui Liang. Qi Shan thought about it, and said with a smile: "Zhilan, the sun is shining today, and it is a good time to go boating on the lake. It's hard for you to make a trip, wait for Li Zhen to go back to the post house to wash up, and I will ask him to accompany you to the lake for a boat, what do you think? ”

Zhilan stopped, glanced at Li Zhen, and said a little shyly: "General Li is fighting with Russian Hercules, and he is physically and mentally exhausted, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to accompany the little woman on the boat, so forget it." ”

Li Zhen raised his eyebrows, what kind of refusal is this? It is clear that retreat is advance.

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Huang Shihai's mouth, he had already seen that something was wrong, and it was indeed an inside story.

Qi Shan said: "Although I am tired from the competition, rafting is rest." ”

Zhilan lowered her head slightly and hummed quietly.

Qi Shan rolled his eyes and ordered: "Li Zhen, Miss Zhilan has a hard time coming out, you accompany her to relax." This time I went back to Beijing to report on my work, I have already met the emperor, and I will return to Jiangbei camp soon, you have to seize the opportunity, understand? ”

Seize the opportunity?

The corners of Li Zhen's mouth twitched slightly, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Qi Shan, this old guy, is really going to make trouble!

After the group returned to the post house, Qi Shan went directly to his room and left the opportunity to Li Zhen. Next, Li Zhen went back to the room to wash up, changed into a clean and refreshing white robe, and combed his braids. When he came out, his clothes were fluttering, his instruments were lofty, and he was extremely handsome.

Li Zhen was not hypocritical, and took Huang Shihai, Die'er and Zhilan out of the post house and went boating on the lake.

Under the sun, the surface of the lake is sparkling, and it is very beautiful.

On the lake, the boats are moving slowly, quiet and charming. Li Zhen and Zhilan were alone in a small boat, and Huang Shihai and Die'er were in another small boat. The two boats were separated by more than ten zhang, leaving a separate space for Li Zhen and Zhilan.

"Wow! Wow! ”

Li Zhen walked forward with the oars, and when he reached the center of the lake, he simply stopped and sat quietly at the bow of the boat.

The sun shines warmly on the body, and it is very pleasant.

Li Zhen looked at Zhilan, who was sitting quietly next to him, and sighed slightly in his heart.

By now, if he hadn't noticed it, it would really be an elm pimple. But Li Zhen knew that he could not stay in Beijing, because this was a cage where countless Manchu children were imprisoned walking dogs and fighting cocks. If he stays in Beijing, he can only do trivial things, so Li Zhen must leave.

But after leaving Beijing, it was difficult for him and Zhilan to achieve results.

Therefore, Li Zhen did not want to go too deep.

Seeing that Li Zhen didn't speak, Zhilan was secretly angry in her heart, she thought that Li Zhen was still angry about the original dispute, so she said: "Li Zhen, stingy ghost!" ”

"Stingy?"

Li Zhen didn't know why, and asked: "Miss Zhilan, Li Zhenlei is a man and open-minded, why is he stingy?" ”

Zhilan snorted and said coquettishly: "I also said that I wasn't a stingy ghost, I wanted you to be an official in Beijing at the beginning, but you refused, and then didn't say a word, obviously because you were resentful." Now there must be resentment, so they ignore me. ”

Li Zhen wants to cry without tears, and a woman's heart is really elusive.

Li Zhen explained: "Miss Zhilan, there is really no resentment in the next place, and the matter has been forgotten. ”

Zhilan's beautiful eyes turned, and she said softly: "Call me Zhilan, every time I add a 'miss' to the back, it sounds very awkward." After a pause, Zhilan said again: "You have now defeated the Russian Hercules, and your fame has shocked Beijing, and even the emperor has given you a yellow coat, and I appreciate you very much." If there is another one of my Amma, you will be transferred to Beijing as an official, and you will definitely be reused. ”

In Zhilan's heart, she still thinks that Li Zhen must be transferred to Beijing as an official.

After all, Beijing is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and there are countless children of the Eight Banners here. No matter how strong you are outside, as long as you enter Beijing, you have to coil on the dragon, and you have to lie on your stomach if it is a tiger, so Zhilan hopes that Li Zhen will enter Beijing as an official.

Li Zhen knew that this was Zhilan's kindness, but he shook his head and refused, saying, "Miss Zhilan, I won't enter Beijing to be an official." There are too many restrictions in Beijing to carry out my ambitions. ”

"You, you ,......"

Zhilan was so angry that she couldn't speak clearly, but thinking of Li Zhen's stubborn temper, she hurriedly shut up and didn't speak.

She breathed a sigh of relief and said unhurriedly, "Why don't you understand?" Beijing is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, even if you are a petty official of the fifth grade, it is better than the feudal officials outside. Besides, now the world is in chaos, and there are thieves everywhere. Especially in Jiangbei camp, it is even more unsafe. Beijing is still peaceful, and you will have nothing to do in Beijing. ”

Li Zhen shook his head and said, "Miss Zhilan, I have already said that I don't want to be a petty official in Beijing. Li Zhenxin has received a piece of your heart for me, but Li Zhenzhi is not in Beijing, and it is difficult for us to have a future. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhen looked at the sunset gradually in the west and said: "I have pride and ambition and enthusiasm, and I can't wear it out in Beijing." Time is tight, really tight, and I can't waste time in Beijing. ”

At this time, it was already October of the third year of Xianfeng.

In the sixth year of Xianfeng, the Second Opium War began, and there were only more than two years left. Li Zhen is now just a small general, and if he wants to turn the situation around, he must not delay time, and he must form his own forces as soon as possible. Every bit of time is very precious to Li Zhen, and it is impossible to stay in Beijing.

Zhilan's beautiful eyes turned, and her heart was shocked.

Suddenly, she felt that the person in front of her was so majestic and tall, and that the person in front of her was ambitious and ambitious. If she loses it, she will regret it for the rest of her life.

Zhilan gritted her teeth and said, "No matter where you are, I am willing to wait for you!" ”

Li Zhen stared at Zhilan and did not agree immediately.

After a pause, Li Zhencai continued: "You have to think about it, if you really plan to follow me, it is very likely that there will be no glory and wealth, and it may even be destitute. ”

Zhilan blinked, with Gui Liang's support, could Li Zhen be down?

She thought that Li Zhen was intimidating her, and immediately said, "I'm willing to wait!" ”

Seeing that Zhilan was stubborn and did not change his attention, Li Zhen nodded lightly, and said sonorously: "Qing will not live up to me, I will live up to Qing!" With that, Li Zhen stretched out his long arm and hugged Zhilan's slender waist.

The two sat in the bow of the boat, snuggled up, and let the boat go.
