Chapter 225: Using Green Tea to Defeat Green Tea, Falling in Love with the Warlord (4)
"Sir, Marshal Han is here and wants to come visit you." Little Stone suppressed his excitement, his face flushed red as he looked at Li Ziyan, "Sir, do you want to meet him?"
Li Ziyan was amused by Xiao Shitou's expression. The kid almost had the words "hope he agrees" written on his face.
"Of course, you will accompany me."
"Yes! Yes! Sir!"
Little Stone followed behind Li Ziyan, feeling like every step he took made him fly with excitement.
The Liyuan Garden actually had its own rules, and outsiders were not allowed to come and go at will, but Han Zhiyao's status was different. He was the commander-in-chief of the capital, and had done great favors for the people of the capital. His presence was a blessing for the Liyuan Garden, so they naturally would not refuse.
When Li Ziyan walked into the hall, Han Zhiyao was sitting on a stool drinking tea. When he saw him coming, he stood up and came to greet him.
"We didn't know the Marshal was coming today, and we didn't make any early preparations. We don't know if we have offended the Marshal in any way."
"I came here uninvited, and I hope you won't blame me," Han Zhiyao waved his hand and sat on the stool facing Li Ziyan. "I wanted to come and listen to your performance today, but I didn't expect to arrive a little early."
"Actually, even if you came a little later, you wouldn't be able to see it today. It's not my shift today." Li Ziyan smiled and poured Han Zhiyao a cup of tea. "I only have six performances a month. If you want to see it, please let me know in advance. I'll have someone reserve a private seat for you."
"It's okay, I'll just buy the ticket according to the procedure."
Han Zhiyao's words were just polite talk. He came here mainly to talk to Li Ziyan, so even if he didn't hear Li Ziyan sing, he didn't feel any regret.
"I just returned from abroad two years ago, and I haven't had time to stay in the capital for long since I came back. Now that the situation has stabilized, I have the opportunity to rest and recuperate in the capital. However, I have been troubled by the fact that I have no one to accompany me. I wonder if there is a chance for me to invite Mr. Yan to accompany me?"
"What the Marshal means is..."
"To be honest, when we met yesterday, I felt that we had a special affinity. I wanted to make friends with you, so that I could have an excuse to talk to you on weekdays."
Li Ziyan took a sip of tea, a smile on his face, and a little embarrassed, "Your Excellency, you are embarrassing me by saying that. It is my great honor to be able to make friends with you."
"Haha, I hope Mr. Yan doesn't think I'm being abrupt." The two smiled at each other. They had obviously not met many times and hadn't said much, but they felt an inexplicable tacit understanding.
Little Stone stood not far away, his eyes shining with admiration. The adjutant also stood straight on the other side, watching the two people talking.
The more they talked, the more Han Zhiyao felt that Li Ziyan was precious. After all, Li Ziyan was a modern man, so even though he lived in such a turbulent and feudal society, he had insightful thoughts that ordinary people did not have.
Han Zhiyao went abroad when he was young and received a Western education. When he talked with Li Ziyan, he felt very happy. Few people could make him feel this way.
The two of them forgot about time as they talked. Since Han Zhiyao was still wearing his military uniform today, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the two of them simply had some food in the Pear Garden, and then took a walk and chatted until the evening. Only then did Han Zhiyao leave the Pear Garden.
"Sir, would you like me to invite Marshal Han tomorrow? Or should we go to the Marshal's Mansion?"
"Hmm? You clever little bastard, you want to go meet the hero in your heart? Haven't you seen enough today?"
Little Stone's thoughts were partially touched upon, his cheeks flushed, and he smiled embarrassedly, "Hey, no, but doesn't the gentleman like Marshal Han too?"
"……Um?"
"I've been here for so long, but this is the first time I've seen Mr. so happy." Little Stone spread the quilt and kept talking. "I don't understand what you're saying, but I think the Marshal and Mr. really like talking to each other. This is called... this is called a bosom friend! Right!"
"Yes, he is a confidant." Li Ziyan smiled helplessly and got on the bed. His eyes were a little empty. Thinking of that strange yet familiar handsome face, his heart felt a little empty.
After all, Han Zhiyao is a soldier, and a marshal at that, so he can't talk to Li Ziyan every day, but he will come to chat with Li Ziyan when he has time.
This day was the 30th day since Han Zhiyao returned to the capital. The piled up documents had been processed. His last war had brought him a brief period of stability and peace.
Han Zhiyao sat in the back seat of the car, looking at the expressions of the pedestrians outside the window. He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. When he turned his head, a pretty figure came into his sight.
There were many people on the road, and the vehicles at that time were not very advanced, so the speed was not fast. He could clearly see his car passing by the side of a young girl. The girl was exceptionally tall and slender, not as petite as ordinary girls.
She was wearing a emerald cheongsam that made her skin look exceptionally white, and her half-long hair was tied up, revealing her slender, graceful neck. Just a quick glimpse of her stunning profile was enough to make one unforgettable.
But the girl seemed to be in some trouble. There were two or three rich young men in extravagant clothes around her, who were about to reach out and hold his wrist.
Han Zhiyao turned around and saw the girl's frown and displeasure in her eyes. His heart skipped a beat.
"parking!"
"yes."
The driver and the lieutenant had no idea what Han Zhiyao was up to, but he had given the order, so they immediately followed it. Pulling the car to the side of the road, Han Zhiyao quickly exited the vehicle and, with a single stride of his long legs, strode over to the girl and the others. Standing nearly 1.9 meters tall, he was incredibly imposing, especially in his military uniform. His expression exuded both intimidation and strength, a presence that none of those wealthy young men could match.
It is better to offend rich people than powerful people. In today's world, powerful people are more difficult to offend. Those rich kids were a little timid and didn't say anything.
"Harabusing decent women, Lieutenant Liu, take them to the police station."
"yes!"
"No! No! We didn't mean it!" Those rich kids were also dumbfounded. They didn't expect Han Zhiyao to take them away without giving them a chance to explain. However, Adjutant Liu was carrying a gun and looked at them coldly, so they didn't dare to resist.
Han Zhiyao frowned, grabbed the girl's wrist, brought her to his side, protected her behind him, and let her get in the car.
The girl seemed a little scared, lowered her head, and tried to take her hand back, but Han Zhiyao grabbed her shoulders.
Han Zhiyao leaned over and whispered in the girl's ear, "Zi Yan, don't be afraid. Would you like to get in the car?"
"!" Li Ziyan raised his head, his bright eyes looking straight into Han Zhiyao's eyes, with surprise, his cheeks flushed. He bit his lip, nodded, and got into the car with the help of Han Zhiyao.
