Chapter 229: Using Green Tea to Defeat Green Tea, Falling in Love with the Warlord (8)
Because of this group of Japanese, Han Zhiyao was not in a very good mood. He wanted to go and see Li Ziyan, but he had too many things to do and was unable to split himself.
These Japanese are probably just testing us this time. They are not difficult to deal with, but they will cause a lot of trouble. Han Zhiyao rubbed his forehead and sighed.
While he was feeling irritated, Li Ziyan was also having a hard time. He was a famous actor in the capital, so his popularity was naturally beyond doubt. Even the newly appeared newspapers in the capital had reported on him, and he had some friendship with the owner of the newspaper.
When Xiao Shitou woke up today, he came running over in a hurry and said that the newspaper owner came to see him and showed him a manuscript.
The content of the manuscript was nothing more than saying that the Japanese envoy was visiting and might establish diplomatic relations with Han Zhiyao.
Almost the moment he saw the content, Li Ziyan knew why Han Zhiyao hadn't come for so long. He looked at the newspaper owner with a serious expression, "Mr. Cheng, can this article be published in the newspaper?"
"No, sir, don't worry. Although I'm just a businessman, I've read the book and understand the situation. I know what's right and what's wrong. I just feel that someone might harm the Marshal. When I came to the opera a few times ago, I saw that you and the Marshal had some friendship, so I came to discuss it with you."
Li Ziyan nodded and thanked him, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Cheng. I will explain this matter to the Marshal."
"That's good."
A truly smart person will not make arbitrary assumptions based on one thing. After Mr. Cheng left, Li Ziyan looked at the article in his hand and frowned.
"gentlemen."
"What's wrong?"
"Sir, when I went to the front yard just now, I saw a few people outside, asking to see you."
"To see me?" Li Ziyan frowned. Were there too many people looking for him today? "Who is it?"
Little Stone shook his head and pinched his nose. "I don't know. They were wearing suits, but they spoke strangely, not like people from Beijing. I heard one of them say something like 'Teng'. Was it 'Right Pain' or 'Left Pain'?"
Unlike the people in the capital... Sato...
Li Ziyan had a vague guess in his mind and waved to Xiao Shitou, "Go over there and tell them that I have caught a cold and can't see anyone."
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Xiao Shitou obeyed Li Ziyan's orders. In his eyes, even if Han Zhiyao was his role model, he could not compare to Li Ziyan's position in his heart, so he nodded seriously without asking the reason.
Xiao Shitou walked forward and happened to meet the gatekeeper who came to look for Li Ziyan. When he saw Xiao Shitou, he quickly called him.
"Little Stone, is Mr. Yan in the room? There is a distinguished guest looking for him."
"Distinguished guest, what distinguished guest?"
The man waved his hands, his expression unnatural, "You don't know, this is someone we can't afford to offend."
"It's not that I don't want to invite you, but the master caught a cold yesterday. After talking to Mr. Cheng just now, he went to rest."
"Ah?!" The man's face turned pale for a moment, but it was not easy for him to ask Li Ziyan to get up, so he had to go to the door and explain the situation to those people.
Xiao Shitou hid behind the rockery and saw the changes in the expressions of those people. He did not return to Li Ziyan until the group left.
Li Ziyan had changed into women's clothing, not a cheongsam. She wore a long jacket with narrow sleeves on the upper body and a horse-faced skirt on the lower body. Her headdress was also much lighter. Although the clothes were not exquisite, she looked like a lady from a noble family.
"Sir?" Xiao Shitou rarely saw Li Ziyan wearing women's clothes, so he was a little surprised.
"Little Stone, stay in your room and don't see any visitors. I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."
"well!"
Li Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, covered half of her face with a veil, took a lunch box, and walked out through the back door.
There were rickshaws on the street. Li Ziyan got on one and had someone take him to a street behind the military headquarters. Then he got off and walked over carefully.
He was dressed simply and carried a lunch box, so everyone thought he was just a woman delivering food to her husband, so he didn't attract anyone's attention for a while.
"Brother Jun, I have something to ask your Adjutant Liu. I wonder if I could let him know."
The officer glanced at Li Ziyan. They were all trained by Han Zhiyao and would not bully others, but they would not let anyone in easily either.
"Wait here, I'll let you know."
"Sorry to bother you, Brother Jun."
The man nodded and sent someone to ask. Soon Adjutant Liu came over.
"Excuse me, young lady..."
Li Ziyan raised her hand to take off her veil and nodded, "It's me, Adjutant Liu."
"Yan!" Adjutant Liu stopped talking at the right moment, a look of shock flashing in his eyes. He brought Li Ziyan in. He had originally thought it was someone from the Marshal's Mansion, but he didn't expect it to be Li Ziyan. "Why is Mr. Yan here?"
"I have something important to tell you. Is Zhiyao here?"
"The Marshal is in his office. I'll take you in."
"Thank you very much."
Adjutant Liu waved his hand and took Li Ziyan to find Han Zhiyao.
There was a knock on the door, but Han Zhiyao didn't look up. "Come in."
Li Ziyan walked in front of Han Zhiyao, and the hem of his clothes jumped into Han Zhiyao's eyes. He frowned, raised his head, and his expression turned into shock.
"Zi Yan?! How could you…"
"Zhiyao," Li Ziyan looked at Han Zhiyao who walked to his side, his expression not relaxed, "Zhiyao, I came here this time to tell you something."
He took out a piece of paper from his chest and handed it to Han Zhiyao, "Mr. Cheng, the boss of the newspaper, came to me today and gave me this. Take a look."
Seeing Li Zi's serious expression, Han Zhiyao took the paper. The more he looked at it, the darker his face became. He handed the paper to Adjutant Liu, who also had a bad expression on his face.
"This! Marshal, who wrote this?!"
"I don't know, it was an anonymous letter." Li Ziyan shook his head and continued, "I think someone might be targeting Zhiyao."
Some warlords looked down on each other, and Han Zhiyao was too young and was guarding the capital, so many people saw him as a threat.
If this article were published, it would easily affect Han Zhiyao's image in the hearts of the people, and this would also give the Japanese an opportunity to take advantage of it.
"There's one more thing. A few people came to see me today. Little Stone said there was a guy named Sato among them. I suspect they are Japanese."
"They came looking for you?!" Han Zhiyao's voice suddenly became fierce.
"Yeah, but I didn't meet them."
Things were a bit complicated. What were these Japanese people doing looking for Li Ziyan? Han Zhiyao frowned, his face gloomy.
Li Ziyan felt a little distressed, walked forward a few steps, raised his hand, and hooked it into Han Zhiyao's palm.
"Zhiyao, is this a very troublesome situation? How about I go meet them and see what they mean?"
"No, you can't take risks." Han Zhiyao rejected the proposal and looked at Li Ziyan. "Don't go out for the next few days, and don't come to see me. I will take care of it."
"……Um."
