pity.
No matter how painful it was for Zhang Han, he couldn't change the facts before him.
No matter how unreliable Li Lin is, he is still his boss. Even if he has complaints and thinks Li Lin is unreliable, it doesn't matter.
A day can be wasted in the blink of an eye on the road.
Li Lin slept all day.
How could I possibly feel sleepy right now?
He opened his eyes when the bright moon emerged from the dark clouds.
"Ah! That was such a good night's sleep!"
He first stretched his stiff arms, then touched the injured areas from riding horses during the day, and found that the swelling on both sides had subsided considerably. Now, even if his thighs rubbed against each other, he no longer felt that burning sensation.
"Zhang Han, where are we now?"
He lifted the carriage curtain, poked his little head out, and looked around at the dark surroundings with his big, watery eyes. He couldn't help but ask a question.
"My lord, we have reached the foot of Mount Li and will be climbing the mountain soon!"
"So fast?"
Upon hearing his lazy question, Zhang Han rolled his eyes at him speechlessly. What kind of person is he, sleeping so much?
I slept soundly from early morning until the middle of the night.
He's absolutely a pig!
wrong,
Even pigs can sleep this much.
"My lord, do you know how much you sleep?"
"What?"
Li Lin was baffled. He had only taken a short nap and had no idea how much time had passed. After all, people don't have a sense of time when they are asleep.
You could say that.
The only time a person truly belongs to themselves is when they are sleeping.
Because you know nothing, you have no worries or anxieties, and you can also replenish your physical and mental energy. Isn't that great?
"My lord, it's already past midnight. In a little while, it will be dawn! My lord, you really can sleep! You are the biggest sleeper I've ever met in my life!"
"Ahem, perhaps it's because I've been busy with countless affairs of state and military matters these past few days, working too hard for the sake of the hundreds of millions of people of Qin. Alas, Zhang Han, you are still young, you don't understand. Wise men are burdened with worries. At your age, you can't appreciate my hard work. Keep up the good work, and once we reach our destination, let all the soldiers rest!"
Li Lin blushed immediately after hearing what he said.
He is a bit sleepy.
And they're also incredibly lazy; they'll take the easy way out whenever they can.
But it shouldn't be necessary to sleep for such a long time.
I guess he's been too tired these past few days.
In addition, I didn't sleep well in the morning, so it's normal that I slept for several hours.
As Zhang Han listened, he felt increasingly uneasy. Why did it seem like Lord Li was trying to find an excuse to absolve himself?
The time it takes to drink a cup of tea has passed.
The group finally arrived at the mountainside of Mount Li, where there was a wide flat area where most of the corvée laborers and officials were stationed.
They hadn't even reached the camp yet.
The leaders of the Lishan camp, who had been informed by scouts long ago, came out in a row to greet them.
"This humble officer, Zhang Le, the Commandant of Lishan, pays his respects to Censor-in-Chief Li!"
"Your humble servant Wang Ying, the registrar of Lishan, pays his respects to Censor-in-Chief Li!"
......
"Ahem, everyone, you've bowed to the wrong person. I'm not the wise and mighty Lord Li, I'm the temporary captain Zhang Han, and the young and promising man standing next to me is none other than Lord Li, the Imperial Censor and Commander of the Cavalry!"
Zhang Han, who was being worshipped by these people, immediately became nervous and gave a frantic explanation.
He immediately looked at Li Lin, fearing he might get angry. Seeing that his expression hadn't changed much, he breathed a sigh of relief and introduced him to everyone.
"Ah? Lord Li, I'm so sorry, we didn't expect you to be so young!"
"Yes, yes, I have long heard that Li Zhongcheng is favored by His Majesty, young and promising, and full of vigor. I never imagined that Li Zhongcheng would be so young. I have misjudged him. Please forgive my poor eyesight, Li Zhongcheng!"
These two people in charge of Lishan.
Neither of them were very young. Zhang Le looked to be in his forties, while Wang Ying's hair was already gray, making her look at least in her fifties or sixties.
Li Xin had already told Li Lin about the situation at the Lishan camp when Li Lin accepted the First Emperor's order.
Commandant Zhang Le was one of Li Si's men and a former retainer of Li Si, and they had a very close relationship.
And Wang Ying.
They are relatives of a branch of the Wang family and also have connections.
Punishing these two people for such a blunder would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
At present.
Li Lin was not angry. Instead, he smiled at them and said, "Please rise, everyone. I don't mean to blame you. It's perfectly normal that you mistook me for someone else. After all, people like me who are so young yet can assume such important responsibilities are extremely rare. It's not shameful for you to have mistaken me for someone else today!"
"Your Excellency is truly enlightened! This humble old man, Wang Ying, thanks you for your kindness!"
"Since Your Excellency is so enlightened, I, Zhang Le, will certainly serve you to the death!"
"Excellent, excellent! With your help, I am confident that we will be able to complete His Majesty's mission successfully. Who knows, we might even receive His Majesty's praise and be promoted and made rich as a result."
"Rest assured, Your Excellency, we will do our utmost and have no disloyal intentions!"
Seeing the two men's confident expressions, Li Lin nodded with great satisfaction.
