Chapter 323 (1/2)
It is Zhu GuanLiang who stands still and Zhao Jiang who is worried.
Zhou Leping didn't know what he said to Qi Simiao when he went in. Although the emperor asked him to do it, he still felt that it was not appropriate for Zhou Leping to persuade Qi Simiao.
Zhao Shiqian almost killed her. Doesn't she want revenge? What if we take this opportunity to discuss and kill them, and then take the opportunity to unite Qi army to attack?
He waited for a long time in this extremely uneasy mood, and finally saw Zhou Leping and Qi Simiao come out together, and his heart immediately hung to his throat.
Qi Miao didn't even look at Zhao Jiang. He went straight to Zhu GuanLiang and said hard.
Zhu GuanLiang said his duty back, but Zhao Jiang, who was left out in the cold, felt a little uncomfortable. Looking at this posture, did he really discuss whether it would be possible to reverse it just now?
He was so nervous that success or failure depended on it. If they didn't get along with each other, their heads and necks would be better for a while.
Qi Si glanced at Zhu GuanLiang, who was wearing silver armor from top to bottom. He sighed that if he wore such bright armor on him, it would be more dazzling. In terms of coquettishness, Zhu GuanLiang would be better.
”Give orders to go down and start camp early tomorrow morning.” Qi Miao gasped for breath. After a long pause, he said, ”back to the north.”
Zhao Jiang's heart wandered to the ground, unconsciously touched his neck, and finally he was able to hand over.
Zhou Leping was stabbed by the sun and narrowed his eyes. His face was ruddy, and his expression was genial. ”Mr. Zhao, may I go back to work now?”
”The emperor will remember what Miss Zhou did today.”
”You don't have to remember, but these people used to be my subordinates. Go back and tell the emperor that if he can treat people with sincerity, these people must be his most loyal soldiers. If he can't, he can't blame them for doing what they have to do to survive.”
Zhao Jiang bowed his head and said with a smile, ”I remember, I will tell the emperor the truth.”
Zhou Leping didn't hold much hope when he looked at him like that. They were trembling in front of the emperor and had nothing to say. This kind of treacherous words, even if repeated in others' mouths, would probably become the object of the emperor's anger. They might be dismissed from office, or they might be beheaded at the Meridian Gate, or they would promise to return. They would forget on the way back.
When the matter was settled, it was not too early, so they had to stay in Quxian for one night.
Military life is a long lost experience for Zhou Leping. The soldiers all recognize her. At night, everyone wants to have a drink together. She's so excited that she wants to have a drink, but when the bowl arrives, Zhu GuanLiang stops her.
”Don't drink.”
”Drink to warm up. My injury is almost as good as it is now. It's OK to drink a little. I was drunk when I didn't feel numb before. It's not as serious as you said.”
