Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

How could Zhang Yunzhen not know that Li Weijun was trying to divert the trouble to others and was deliberately taking revenge on him for his meticulous care and searching the room for fear that there might be enemy spies lurking in the room.

After thinking about it, it seems that Li Weijun's conspiracy is to kill someone with a borrowed knife. He must have noticed that I have been avoiding Ji Xiaotao recently, and he more or less understands my relationship with Ji Guochun's family, so he took this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

So he hurriedly took advantage of Ji Xiaotao's silence and deliberately covered up by saying in a hoarse voice: "Comrade Li Weijun, you must have misunderstood. I was in northwest Shanxi before, never been to southern Henan, and never went into the mountains to fight guerrillas, so I definitely didn't have much contact with Miss Ji."

Looking at Zhang Yunzhen who shook his head in panic out of reflex, Li Weijun had a faint smile on his face and felt secretly satisfied.

What? Guard Zhang no longer had the same attitude of showing off his power and doing his duty.

Li Weijun, who was well versed in the art of kicking a fallen dog, coughed and kept asking the same question.

"But that shouldn't be the case. I remember hearing from an old man that you seemed to have had a friendship with Ji Guochun. It seemed that you had served as a guard for Uncle Ji for a few years. Later, Uncle Ji recommended you to study in Luosha Country, where you learned a lot of kung fu. Then you returned to the capital to serve as a guard. Why, Comrade Zhang Yunzhen, does he have such a bad memory?"

"What? I worked as a guard under my father for several years. Let me think, oh, yes, I remember. I was still young at that time. I remember there was a guard who often accompanied me to catch butterflies. However, he was covered in dirt and skinny at that time. People called him Skinny Monkey. They said that he was picked up by my father to be a guard when he was fleeing. It has been more than ten years now. We have only communicated through letters, but we have rarely met. Could it be that..."

Ji Xiaotao didn't take this matter seriously at first. After all, soldiers may change but the barracks remain the same. As a front-line general, Ji Guochun has too many students and former subordinates. Not to mention, after more than ten years of military life, the soldiers he has personally trained are enough to arm an entire division.

Among this large number of students and former officials, there are many extremely talented ones, and many of them have even reached the same level as Ji Guochun, but they are stationed in the northern grasslands and cannot move around easily. Most of the rest are at least at the regimental level.

It is precisely based on this situation that it is normal to meet an old subordinate in the capital.

But when Ji Xiaotao heard that Zhang Yunzhen had worked as a bodyguard for her father for several years and was recommended by her father to go to Luosha Country for special training, her eyes couldn't help but light up.

He had vaguely guessed Zhang Yunzhen's identity. He looked at Zhang Yunzhen, who was sitting in the back row with a pair of almond-shaped eyes, feeling uneasy. It was unknown what he was thinking.

"Ah, it seems, it seems, it seems, I heard it under Chief Ji for a few years, but it's been a while, plus I suffered a head injury during training. The doctor said that part of my memory is missing, maybe I forgot it."

Seeing that Li Weijun was not willing to give up easily, Zhang Yunzhen was in great pain and quickly made up an excuse that he had a head injury and memory loss.

This excuse may be used to fool others, but it is a waste of time to fool Li Weijun, the master of excuses.

"You little brat, I thought I couldn't cure you, so I just pretended to have amnesia. This is such an old trick. When I pretended to have amnesia, you were probably still peeing and playing in the mud."

Li Weijun curled his lips slightly, and was extremely disdainful of Zhang Yunzhen's excuse full of loopholes. Let alone other things, when it comes to pretending to have amnesia and act crazy and stupid, Li Weijun is simply a master.

Anyone who has read a little history will know that during the Warring States Period, in order to avoid the coercion and inducement of Pang Juan and to eliminate the doubts of his fellow brother Pang Juan about himself, Sun Bin lost his memory, pretended to be an idiot, and even swallowed feces when he had no choice.

Or people should read more books, and only by reading history can they become wise.

As expected, this excuse was not a big problem for deceiving an old farmer with little knowledge, but it was really a bit far-fetched to want to deceive Ji Xiaotao, a top student from the National University of Fine Arts.

This unruly girl easily saw through Zhang Yunzhen's disguise, snorted coldly, and mercilessly revealed Zhang Yunzhen's embarrassing stories.

"Where is the wound? When did you get hurt? How could it be such a coincidence that you also lost your memory? Which field hospital did you go to for treatment? Are there any sequelae after treatment? Do you have any medical certificate or resume?"

Zhang Yunzhen was overwhelmed by the machine-gun-like series of questions. He could only wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and said hesitantly, "Well, I forgot, maybe, should, possibly, probably..."

This ambiguous answer further proved Zhang Yunzhen's guilty conscience. Ji Xiaotao looked at this ashamed former big brother with disdain, looked at him with a complicated gaze for a moment, and then continued to cut the Gordian knot aggressively.

"Comrade Zhang Yunzhen, stop hiding it. Lift your hat and show your face. You are not an unmarried girl, so why are you so shy? It's just that my father was too strict when training you. I admit that he was indeed too crazy when it came to training soldiers, but it's not that you only write a letter every year during the holidays after completing your training in Luosha, and you don't even want to see my father. My father was muttering not long ago that if I encountered any problems in the capital, I could find you, an old subordinate, to solve them. But you are so good that you pretend to be stupid. Do you believe it? I will call my father and ask him to come and treat your amnesia in person during the meeting?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yunzhen was struck by lightning and shook his head like a rattle. He knew that he could not hide it from this unruly girl with sharp eyes, so he simply admitted it in a hoarse voice.

"Xiao Tao, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you're still as aggressive as before. Your temper hasn't improved at all. This world is really small..."

Seeing Zhang Yunzhen's reluctant admission, a smug look flashed across Ji Xiaotao's pretty face. She was just about to use her sharp tongue to scold Zhang Yunzhen for hiding from place to place all these years and forgetting the kindness he had shown her in the past.

But just as the words came to his lips, he suddenly seemed to remember something and froze for a moment. After a long time, his face turned pale before he asked tentatively.

"Li Weijun, could it be that Zhang Yunzhen has been around these days, the kind that never leaves his side?"

Li Weijun shrugged his shoulders at this question. "Otherwise, auntie, Comrade Zhang Yunzhen is a dedicated and serious comrade. He is not only always by my side, but he also seems to have a pair of eyes in the sky. He watches my every move every day without blinking. He knows exactly where I can hide, the cupboards, the bottom of the bed, the beams, and where I can't hide."

In addition to sarcasm, the words also reveal helplessness.

Based on Li Weijun's current physical fitness and fighting skills, if he really encounters any enemy spies or an emergency situation, it is hard to say who will protect whom.

If Zhang Yunzhen hadn't been so kind to the old man and didn't want to let him down, he would have been sent back home by Li Weijun long ago.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaotao, the usually calm and composed little devil, panicked.

If Zhang Yunzhen had been hiding in the dark these days, closely observing Li Weijun's every move, wouldn't that mean that he and Li Weijun...

When Ji Xiaotao thought of the news, she was so confused that she even trembled when she spoke. She was about to continue to make things difficult for Zhang Yunzhen, but she had no choice but to give up.

She was really afraid that Zhang Yunzhen would go all out and expose her affair with Li Weijun to everyone. You know, outsiders were afraid of her father Ji Guochun, so how could she, as an only child, not be scared?

Ji Guochun funded and approved Ji Xiaotao's coming to Beijing, but it was impossible for him to allow it. Ji Xiaotao's behavior was like a dog-skin plaster. How could she be so eager to be taken advantage of by Li Weijun as soon as she arrived in Beijing?

As the saying goes, a good father will have a good daughter. If this matter gets out, wouldn't it be a slap in Ji Guochun's face?

The subtle changes in Ji Xiaotao's expression were clearly seen by Li Weijun who had been watching closely. He knew in his heart that his trick of driving the tiger to devour the wolf had worked.

On the one hand, it served as a warning to Zhang Yunzhen, and on the other hand, it also made Ji Xiaotao restrain herself a little so that she wouldn't make a fuss all day and do anything out of the ordinary.
