Chapter 242 People from Tianjin
"Conscience of heaven and earth!" Zhou Charter swore, "If I don't treat you as my wife, the sky will thunder!"
"Then why do you thank me!" Zhao Qiaoer sobbed and said, "Do you still want to thank my wife for working for her husband? You clearly treat me as an outsider!"
Zhou Charter couldn't help laughing, lifted Zhao Qiaoer's head and hugged Zhao Qiaoer in his arms: "Okay, thank you! Our wife is angry, and the consequences are very serious!"
Zhao Qiaoer leaned in Zhou Charter's arms and scolded, "Who cares about that lady!"
"Others don't care, I don't know. Anyway, I don't care!" Zhou Charter took a "ba" on Zhao Qiaoer's face: "Our family's fate is really beneficial. It is covered by the emperor's uncle, and there are 5,000 officers and soldiers below. Grandma, this is almost the Queen Mother!"
Zhao Qiaoer laughed and then stiffed her face: "Then tell me, why don't you want to marry Gege? Is she very ugly?"
"It's not ugly," Zhou Charter shook his head: "Of course, there is still a certain gap compared with our ordered wife, but in the eyes of others, she is also a big beauty."
Zhao Qiaoer said andly, "Don't use others as a shield! Do you mean, where did Gege offend you?
Thinking of that and Shu Gege, Zhou Charter couldn't help but feel full of it.
Speaking of which, Zhou Charter can have today, all thanks to this hot-tempered Gege. If Minxiu hadn't insisted on cutting off his head, he wouldn't have come to North Korea to do these earth-shaking things!
If it hadn't been for Minxiu, he wouldn't have met Jin Shu!
Thinking of Jin Shu, Zhou Charter's chest was hot, which was the fairy.
Zhou Charter took out the fairy from his arms and handed it to Zhao Qiaoer.
The fairy under the red candle is warm and transparent. Jin Shu's big eyes look faintly at the couple under the red candle.
"Is she Gege?" Zhao Qiaoer asked.
"No, her name is Jin Shu." Zhou Charter's voice trembled a little: "Qiaoer, this is a long story..."
Zhou Charter spoke slowly and dragged him into Tianjin Wubei School from Feng Guozhang. In order to escape for his life, he did that absurd thing, including how to offend Gege, Jiuliancheng happened to meet Jin Shu, how to sneak into Seoul to rob Jin Yujun's remains, Jin Shu jumped into the river and committed suicide, Hu Feiling war, Huzi Qiu Zhao Xiaoman died in battle. In order to avenge Jin Shu, he killed Oshima Yichang. Finally, he led his troops to occupy Yizhou, capture Anzhou, and recover Pyongyang. He told Zhao Qiaoer in detail.
When it comes to the Linjin River Jinshu's mother and daughter committed suicide, Zhao Qiaoer was already full of tears, and crystal tears fell on the fairy.
Zhao Qiaoer snugged in Zhou Charter's arms and whispered, "I know why you don't want to marry Gege. In fact, you don't hate her in your heart."
"Nonsense, I really hate her. This Minxiu is too much. Didn't I accidentally look at her? She didn't lose a hair. She insisted on killing me!"
Zhao Qiaoer sighed, "You don't want to think that women are as easy as you men when they encounter this kind of thing, and they are Gege, the empress dowager's niece. This matter is very important for royal decentness! You have done evil, and you have to blame others!"
Zhou Charter thought for a moment and nodded: "That's what my wife said. In fact, if she hadn't wanted to kill me, I wouldn't have been the general soldier. Then tell me, why don't I want to marry Gege?"
Zhao Qiaoer looked at the fairy: "It's not because of her!"
Fairy A Shang, Jin Shu's big eyes are full of sadness.
Zhou Charter's heart was sore, and Zhao Qiaoer broke the facts he deliberately avoided!
Jin Shu has been firmly engraved on his heart, and no woman can occupy that position!
For a long time, Zhou Charter sighed gently, "Qiaoer, I have wronged you!" Jin Shu was in his heart, which was very unfair to Zhao Qiaoer.
"Brother!" Zhao Qiaoer said softly, "Just pretend to be her. Qiaoer won't be jealous!"
"Cqiaoer, are you sure you don't blame me?"
"No wonder!" Zhao Qiaoer said softly, "Actually, you have me in your heart!"
"This..." Zhou Charter blushed a little, and he had Jin Shu in his heart!
Zhao Qiaoer said with a smile, "If you don't have me in your heart, how can you think of letting Uncle Huang be our witness!" Brother, you are a fool. You don't know who you have in your heart! I guess, that Minxiu Gege is also in your heart!"
"How can this be!"
Zhao Qiaoer smiled and said, "This kind of thing is the most accurate for women's intuition!" Just believe me."
The two were talking and laughing when they heard Luo Mingfang's voice outside the door: "Master, someone from Tianjin."
Zhou Charter stood up in a hurry: "Luo Mingfang, come in and talk."
Luo Mingfang walked into the bridal chamber and first bowed to Zhao Qiaoer: "Good sister-in-law." Then he stood aside and said nothing.
"She is Zhao Xiaoman's sister! If you have something to say, just say it!" Zhou Charter scolded. If Zhao Xiaoman is still alive, he must be the core member of Zhang Jun and participate in major matters.
Yes! Division commander!" Luo Mingfang said, "It's from the Beiyang government. He reported his name, Zhang Peilun."
Zhou Charter was shocked. He had already heard of the name of Zhang Peilun, the fast son-in-law of Dong Bed!
Zhang Peilun is here, which means that Li Hongzhang is here!
Zhou Charter turned around and said to Zhao Qiaoer, "Qiaoer, look..." Zhou Charter was very unbearable to leave the bride alone in the bridal chamber.
"Brother, go quickly. Brothers are waiting for you to make a decision. Zhao Qiaoer urged.
"Xie Qiaoer..."
"Thank you for everything!" Zhao Qiaoer pulled down her face.
"Yes, yes, thank you!" Zhou Charter laughed and said, "Our wife is not only beautiful, but also the most virtuous lady in the world. Haha, my Zhou Charter is blessed!"
"A rotten mouth!" Zhao Qiaoer scolded, but her face was sweet.
Luo Mingfang said, "Zhang Peilun is on the peony stage, and Yao Xi has gone to greet him."
"Okay, let's go to the Peony Platform immediately. Remember, this matter should be kept absolutely confidential! It can't be publicized." Zhou Charter said, pointing to the west wing.
Reporter Zhao Han made a guest appearance as a bridesmaid and has been accompanying the old lady in the west wing.
Obviously, Li Hongzhang sent Zhang Peilun to come secretly, which must be a confidential matter. If this matter is known and publicized by reporters, it will not be good for anyone.
Yes! That's what Zhang Peilun meant. He came here pretending to be a businessman and did not reveal his identity on the way.
Zhou Charter nodded, took off the groom's robe, and went out of the bridal chamber. In the hall, the brothers had stopped the banquet. Everyone knows that people came to the Beiyang minister's office, which was very small.
Zhou Charter waved to everyone, and everyone gently left the courtyard and rushed to the Peony Platform.
In the Peony Platform, in the Prime Minister's government, Zhang Peilun, wearing a gray gown and carrying his hands on his back, he rode up and down the hall with an anxious face. Yao Xi stood aside carefully.
When Zhang Peilun saw Zhou Charter and others coming in, Zhang Peilun quickly greeted him. Before Yao Xi's introduction, he bowed his hand to Zhou Charter: "Zhou General Soldier, Perun is polite."
Zhang Peilun did not know Zhou Charter. However, Zhou Charter, surrounded by everyone, took the lead in walking into the living room and was quite elegant. This Pelun is also a well-informed person, and naturally he will not recognize the wrong person.
Zhou Charter raised his hand and gave a military salute: "Mr. Zhang's name, the Charter has been admired for a long time! Mr. Zhang arrived here late at night. I don't know what to teach?"
Zhang Peilun looked at the people behind Zhou Charter. Zhou Charter was surprised and said, "Deputy Master Luo and the emperor's uncle stayed, and the others will avoid it for the time being."
Everyone retreated.
The four guests sat down, and Zhang Peilun said to Nahawu, "I've been looking forward to the name of that uncle for a long time. Today, I'm lucky to see you today."
Jin found a royal uncle for the emperor. This matter has long been a household name in China, but Naha Wu has been in North Korea and has never appeared in China, which seems very mysterious. Therefore, Zhang Peilun was very happy to see the legendary uncle.
Nahawu arched his hand: "Lao Zhang, don't be polite. Li Hongzhang sent you here. It must be an urgent matter. If you have anything to say, say it quickly."
"That uncle is really straightforward! Then I won't be polite." Zhang Peilun frowned and said to Zhou Charter, "This time, I came to ask General Zhou to send troops to Liaodong!"
Zhang Peilun's words were all expected by Zhou Charter. When he was in Zhalantun, the Beiyang Minister's government issued him a power of attorney through the Russians, which showed that the Russians had reached some kind of agreement with Li Hongzhang in private. The Russians asked Zhou Charter to send troops to Liaodong. Now, Zhang Peilun came in person, which must also be the same thing!
Zhou Charter laughed and said, "Mr. Zhang is serious. Premier Li Zhongtang's war against Japan, and Zhou is his subordinate. Zhou can't afford to wear this word 'request'! Li Zhongtang only needs to issue a transfer order to the humble position. Mr. He Lao Zhang will come here in person.
Zhang Peilun said in a low voice, "Zhou Zongbing, Li Zhongtang can't send you a military transfer order!"
"Why is this?" Zhou Charter asked, "If there is no transfer order from Lord Zhongtang, our Zhangjun will leave the floodland without permission and disobey the order of the dynasty!"
Zhang Peilun sighed, "Zhou Zongbing, the situation is urgent, so I will say it directly. In less than ten days, the Japanese army will launch the Shandong Campaign. The Japanese army's combat intention is to destroy our Beiyang navy! Today, Beiyang sailors are trapped in defending Weihai, and the situation is very dangerous. The only way to rescue is to capture Liaodong, so that the Japanese army has no time to take care of Shandong, thus giving up the Shandong Campaign. However, the 100,000 troops of Sichuan Admiral Song Qing are not moving forward in Liaodong. In fact, General Zhou knows that Song Qing's morale is completely gone. Even if they have millions of troops, they can't pose a threat to the Japanese army in Liaodong! Therefore, Li Zhongtang hopes that General Zhou will lead his army to attack Liaodong.
Zhou Charter nodded: "Besieging Wei to save Zhao is in line with the art of war, and the court should also think of it, but why can't Li Zhongtang issue a transfer order to Zai?"
