Chapter 245: Using Green Tea to Defeat Green Tea, Falling in Love with the Warlord (24)
Adjutant Liu responded, saluted, and retreated. Li Ziyan walked over to Han Zhiyao, sighed, and squeezed Han Zhiyao's shoulder. "Marshal, are you planning to join forces with the warlords?"
"These devils are bullying our Chinese compatriots and occupying our Chinese territory. Which Chinese son or daughter can just stand by and watch?!" Han Zhiyao was furious when he thought of the Southern President's attitude. "Damn it! I don't know what those people were thinking! Are they saving their bullets and cannons to shoot at their own people?!"
"The Southern President is unwilling to confront the enemy head-on. The newly emerged Labor Party army is willing, but they lack the financial resources and supplies."
"If they can't do it, we can," Han Zhiyao said, his eyes blazing with fire as he held Li Ziyan's hand tightly. "As long as you're willing to fight for your country, there's nothing you can't do. With us, we can face the enemy head-on. We're not afraid of anything."
Li Ziyan looked at Han Zhiyao's determined eyes, feeling worried, but more of a sense of pride. He loved this kind of man, a man of flesh and blood, with backbone and patriotism. He was extremely grateful to have met him here. Even if this world was not smooth, even if it was full of crises and turmoil, he was willing to face it together.
"Well, with you here, I'm not afraid of anything." Li Ziyan smiled and held Han Zhiyao's hand. "I've been dealing with news and political affairs recently and found a lot of interesting articles. I've protected these people. They should be useful in the future."
Han Zhiyao knew about this. He had read those articles. They were a new way of thinking and a new path. He had to admit that he yearned for such a government and hoped that such a government could bring peace and prosperity to China.
"Having you in my life is the blessing of my life."
The two people leaned against each other, with faint smiles on their faces, but their hands were tightly clasped.
Adjutant Liu received a reply on the same day the telegram was sent. The warlords from various regions were all iron-blooded men. The telegrams from different places were only written in a few big words.
"Protecting China is the responsibility of every citizen!"
"Adjutant Liu, contact the various commanders and the Labor Party representatives. Let's make a plan to resist the enemy."
"Yes! Marshal, those special envoys are coming again."
"Didn't you say you wouldn't see each other?" Han Zhiyao frowned, a little impatient. His meaning was clear, but these people were still unwilling to give up.
Adjutant Liu nodded, his expression serious. "But Deputy Director Sun is here too this time. I see there's also a female officer here. I wonder where she's from."
"Okay, let them in, I..."
Han Zhiyao wanted to say something when there was a commotion outside. He frowned, stood up suddenly, and walked out with Adjutant Liu.
Outside the door, Li Ziyan stood at the door with a complicated expression. He had just gone out to meet with several writers, but he didn't expect to meet this group of people after coming back.
Han Zhiyao has always protected him very well. Although the special envoys in the south vaguely knew that there was such a person, they had never seen Li Ziyan. They did not expect to meet him this time.
The guard at the gate was Li Ziyan, who immediately saluted and wanted to let the people in, but the others were dissatisfied and stopped Li Ziyan. The most difficult one was Deputy Director Sun. The moment he saw Li Ziyan, he frowned and his eyes changed.
"This gentleman looks very friendly. He should be Mr. Li Ziyan." Deputy Director Sun had a smile on his face, but this smile did not make people feel friendly at all. Instead, it made people feel that he had bad intentions.
"Li Ziyan? This is..."
"Oh, I guess you special envoys don't know this yet. This is the mistress that Marshal Han has hidden away. Well, it's Marshal Han's fault for keeping her hidden and not letting anyone see her," Deputy Director Sun said, looking at Li Ziyan with a sarcastic smile. "After the opera theater disbanded, it's been a while since we've seen Mr. Yan perform on stage. It turns out he stayed at the Marshal's mansion, performing only for the Marshal."
Deputy Director Sun's words were far from pleasant, describing Li Ziyan as a mere entertainer, a highly insulting statement. The other people nearby had varying expressions on their faces, their eyes growing somewhat contemptuous.
There are many men who keep actresses as their wives, but Li Ziyan is a man, which is very intriguing. For a while, their thoughts on Han Zhiyao also changed.
The only one frowning was the female officer. She was dressed in a military green uniform, standing tall and straight. She glanced at the others with dissatisfaction and said, "I didn't come to visit Marshal Han with you to gossip about me. Deputy Director Sun, I didn't expect you, at your age, to still have so much free time."
The female police officer's words made Deputy Director Sun look unhappy, but due to her status, Deputy Director Sun did not dare to say anything.
"I'm just talking, Mr. Yan won't care."
"Really? Just because Ziyan doesn't care doesn't mean I don't." Han Zhiyao's voice rang out from the doorway. He looked at Li Ziyan, who was being harassed by the crowd, frowned, walked over, and without caring about other people's opinions, he hugged Li Ziyan in his arms. "Deputy Director Sun seems to be free today. He even went out for a stroll with a few special envoys. It seems that Deputy Director Sun's promotion has been resolved?"
As soon as he said this, Deputy Director Sun's expression became particularly ugly. He moved his mouth and looked at the intimacy between the two people. His face turned pale, "Marshal Han, you..."
"Is there anything wrong with you?"
"Marshal Han," the female officer saluted Han Zhiyao and nodded to Li Ziyan. "I am Chen Lan, the instructor of the 4th Division of the 26th Army of the Southern Government. I've come to visit you today."
"Instructor Chen Lan," Han Zhiyao returned the military salute, nodded to Chen Lan, and then looked at the others. "I've already answered the questions of the special envoys and don't want to discuss it again. Please leave today. Instructor Chen Lan, please."
"Thank you, Marshal."
A few people ignored the expressions of the people behind them and entered the Marshal's Mansion together. Adjutant Liu and his men blocked them outside, and they were helpless.
After entering the room, Li Ziyan consciously withdrew. It was not that Han Zhiyao didn't let him listen, but he knew that there were some things he still needed to avoid.
When the instructor came out, about half an hour later, Han Zhiyao and Li Ziyan escorted Chen Lan out of the Marshal's Mansion with serious expressions.
"Marshal, what did the instructor say?"
"Well, it seems my guess and decision were correct. The Southern Government can't hold out for much longer." Han Zhiyao thought of what Chen Lan had just said to him about the Labor Party, and his brows furrowed in seriousness. "Zi Yan, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay at home for much longer."
