If you wear it fast, you will return the scum

When Zhang Lingyu got into the car with his fan, the adjutant Xia Mingqi was sitting next to him.

"General, this fan is quite interesting, can you show me it?" the adjutant said.

Zhang Lingyu handed him the fan, not forgetting to tell him: "Be careful, don't break it, you will have to give it away later."

"Okay." The adjutant opened one, and on it was a picture of flowers and birds, and then opened the other, on which were the three friends of Suihan.The only thing that is the same is the red badge on it, the four characters "Yan Zi Zhan Yin" are upright, and it is also signed with a graceful ink pen.

"This Yan Zizhan looks pretty good, and he can write well." The adjutant said casually.

Zhang Lingyu glanced at the fan and said, "Does he look good? I saw him just now, and he still has makeup on. But he is quite delicate, with a feminine posture."

The adjutant smiled and closed the fan, and respectfully put it back at Zhang Lingyu's hand.

"Nine times out of ten, it was contaminated in the play. He has always only played female roles. What is this called? Yes, yes, Huadan."

After hearing what he said, Zhang Lingyu thought it over. He said: "His temperament is quite natural. Although he is pretty, he is not too feminine, so that people can't hate him."

The adjutant recommended with a shy face when he heard the words: "General, you should go and see his imperial concubine drunk, that's really charming. I saw it once before, it was so amazing, I almost thought it was Concubine Yang reborn."

"It's really that good?" Zhang Lingyu was aroused by him, "Then next time you go and ask them when they will sing."

"Okay."

Although Zhang Lingyu is the top leader in Tanzhou City, he doesn't need to look at other people's faces on weekdays, but this one who came today is something he can't offend.

Song Zeting is one rank higher than his official, and his jurisdiction is in the northeast area.

Song Zeting didn't say hello to him when he came, it was Zhang Lingyu who was still listening to the play, and when he heard that Song Zeting was coming, he got up immediately.Although Zhang Lingyu didn't guess Song Zeting's intention, but out of the duty of the host, he was still entertained.

Since the surname Song came to visit, Zhang Lingyu took advantage of the opportunity to ask Yan Zizhan for a fan, and wanted to give it to him as a meeting gift.

Although Song Zeting didn't reveal his preferences, he was also well-known as a fan of Yan Zizhan's drama.

When Zhang Lingyu returned to his mansion, Song Zeting was sitting in his living room drinking tea.

As soon as Song Zeting saw Zhang Lingyu coming in, he put down his teacup, stood up, and called Brother Zhang.

He took the initiative to approach him, and Zhang Lingyu also took off his hat with a smile, and said to him, "General Song."

Song Zeting is five or sixty years old, and he still looks very energetic.He was a bandit in his early years, and although he has been an official for many years now, he still carries a hint of banditry in his gestures.

"Look at you, meet me." Song Zeting smiled at him with narrowed eyes.

Zhang Lingyu handed the hat to the servant beside him, and said to him, "Why is General Song coming to my Tanzhou city when you have time?"

"Isn't it? The situation is tense recently. I want to discuss with brother Zhang and discuss countermeasures."

Hearing what he said, Zhang Lingyu quickly waved his hands to let the servants go down.When there were only the two of them left in the living room, Zhang Lingyu asked Song Zeting, "General Song's discussion of this countermeasure is too far away. You are in the northeast, and I am in Tanzhou. It's a thousand miles away..."

He gestured for Song Zeting to sit down, and sat down on the seat next to him.

Song Zeting said to him: "Brother Zhang, it's not like you don't know the things in the north. There is someone surnamed Sun in the west and someone surnamed Zeng in the east. They are all at odds with me."

After speaking, he even winked at Zhang Lingyu.

Zhang Lingyu picked up the tea on his side, and while drinking tea, carefully analyzed the meaning of Song Zeting's words.

The two warlords, Sun and Zeng, are the two warlords left over from the collapse of the previous regime, and their strength is evenly matched.These warlords from aristocratic families naturally look down on Song Zeting, a bandit leader who became a monk halfway through.

Moreover, both Sun and Zeng's armies wanted to annex each other, and Song Zeting's territory happened to be stuck between them, which inevitably caused some friction.

Zhang Lingyu drank the tea, turned to Song Zeting and said, "General Song, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Only then did Song Zeting get to the point, and said to him: "I heard that Brother Zhang, you are only [-] years old, and you don't have a wife and concubine around you. I have a niece who is just young. I would like to ask Brother Zhang if you intend to get married?"

Zhang Lingyu's thoughts flashed, and he understood in an instant.

Although Song Zeting is in charge of the Northeast, he is not the top leader in the Northeast. He has an immediate boss above him.

Zhang Lingyu also knows a thing or two about the disputes in the Northeast, and knows that Song Zeting's immediate boss intends to train another subordinate to take over.

The current domestic situation is chaotic. Although the government exists, it is nothing more than a puppet regime controlled by major warlords.

Those people in the north, most of them support their own self-respect, fighting in a group every two days, and no one will obey the other.

Although Zhang Lingyu's official position is not as high as Song Zeting's, he is firmly guarding the south side. Except for the surnamed Li in the southeast, his army is the strongest in the south.

The higher-ups wanted to divide Song Zeting's power, so Song Zeting came to him to find a way out.

Foreign forces are eyeing each other fiercely, and sooner or later they will go to war. The coastal land was originally a rich place, but now it has become the most unsafe place.

And his Tanzhou is inland, and it seems that he still has the power to fight.

So Song Zeting wanted to get in touch with him through marriage. If there was a real fight in the north, they could also withdraw to him, so that they would not have nowhere to go.

Song Zeting was plotting against him, but... this was not a bad thing for him.

In the middle of the north and the south, bandits and scattered small warlords fought with each other, forming a natural barrier, blocking the prying eyes of the north from the south.

But no matter how powerful Zhang Lingyu is, he can only be king in this small area, and he can't go outside.But with Song Zeting's support, even if he wants to annex the southeast Li family's forces, it is not impossible.

If you want to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside.Zhang Lingyu had no intention of becoming king or emperor, but he also didn't want the people to continue living in dire straits.

If they form an alliance with Song Zeting, then all these problems can be easily solved.

In the blink of an eye, he had already made up his mind, and said to Song Zeting on the spot, "I don't know where Miss Song is now?"

Listening to his tone, Song Zeting knew that there was a high probability that this would happen.A smile appeared on his face in an instant, and he said to Zhang Lingyu: "Xiyue came to Tanzhou with me, and is now staying in the Guiyan Inn in the city. If Brother Zhang is interested, I will bring him in a few days." She came to see you."

Zhang Lingyu nodded and said, "It's rare for General Song to come to my place, why don't I be the host today and treat you to a drink."

"Okay, then I'll thank Brother Zhang first." Song Zeting relaxed a lot as soon as he let go of the important matter in his heart.Seeing that Zhang Lingyu was in a good mood, he began to introduce his niece to him: "Xiyue is the most outstanding of my nieces. She looks good and has stayed abroad. There are countless suitors. If Brother Zhang meets you She will definitely like it."

Zhang Lingyu said to him, "Okay, then I must take a good look at it some other day."

When he said this, he remembered the fan he had brought out from the pear garden, so he quickly took it out and handed it to Song Zeting.

"I heard that General Song liked Yan Zizhan's plays, so I asked him for this fan. It has Yan Zizhan's seal and signature on it."

Song Zeting quickly took it and opened it to see that there were flowers and birds painted on it, which were lifelike and quite interesting.

He reached out and touched the mark on it, smiled twice, and sighed again.

"Why is General Song sighing, don't you like it?" Zhang Lingyu asked.

Song Zeting closed his fan and said to him: "It's not that I don't like it, but I think it's sad when I think of the current state of the country, external troubles and internal troubles, these troupes still have elevated stages, and the music is endless."

Zhang Lingyu smiled when he heard the words, and said to him: "The building is about to fall, and we can only hold up the overall situation. Those actors are powerless. Do you still count on them to save the country?"

Song Zeting also laughed when he heard this, and he said, "Yes, yes, brother Zhang is right. A person has to bear the responsibility of whatever position he is in. I was thinking too much. Thank you, brother Zhang, for the gift." .”

Zhang Lingyu said: "Let's go, I have to buy you a drink."

After finishing speaking, he invited Song Zeting to get up and go out with him.

It was almost dusk, but Yan Zizhan, the mainstay of the troupe, did not go to dinner with the others.

All the makeup on his face has been removed, and his face is now fair and clean. Although it is not considered beautiful, it can be regarded as having delicate features.

Yan Zizhan sat in front of the dressing table, looked at himself in the mirror, and suddenly giggled.

He smiled and covered his mouth, but the smile still escaped from his eyes.

He likes Zhang Lingyu, this is his little secret.

Yan Zizhan first met Zhang Lingyu three years ago.

At that time, Zhang Lingyu had just become the defense officer of Tanzhou City, and when he came, he was wearing a simple suit. No one would have guessed that he was Zhang Lingyu.

Yan Zizhan is well-known all over the world because of "The Drunken Concubine". Although he himself has no intention of entanglement with others, there are always some disciples who want to take advantage of him.

Although Yan Zizhan is a well-known actor, he is just an actor in the end. When others want to praise him, they treat him politely, and when they want to attack him, they treat him like an ant.

Those people wanted to drag him into a dark alley that day, and Zhang Lingyu happened to pass by there.

He dealt with those people in twos and threes, and rescued Yan Zizhan.

Zhang Lingyu said two words to him that day, one was "Are you okay", and the other was "If you are okay, then I will go first".

Yan Zizhan remembered the life-saving grace until now, and this kindness brewed in his heart into love, soaking his limbs and bones.

But... Zhang Lingyu seems to have forgotten what happened that day.

Zhang Lingyu came to Liyuan to watch a play two years ago. He was brought here by a friend, and later became a frequent visitor to this Liyuan.

Because he often came here, the local ruffians in the vicinity did not dare to come to this pear orchard to find trouble, and they gave this place a protection invisibly.

Yan Zizhan also tested Zhang Lingyu once, and wanted to ask him if he still remembered saving him that day.

But judging from Zhang Lingyu's reaction, perhaps he is the only one who remembers that incident.

Although Yan Zizhan felt lost in his heart, he could see clearly after all.Zhang Lingyu is a general, the number one leader in Tanzhou City, with a high position and authority, while he is an actor, the lowest and most inferior person.There is a gap between them, one is in the sky and the other is in the mud, no matter what, there is no result.

What's more, now that the country is influenced by the western culture, the matter of cutting off sleeves is regarded as a scourge. It would be good not to burn a person like him to death, but how dare he declare his love to the public.

A trace of loneliness flashed in Yan Zizhan's eyes. He stood up, walked to the table, and poured the water from the teapot into the empty cup beside him.

He sat down on the stool with the cup in his hand, and drank in small sips.

This cup was exactly the one used by Zhang Lingyu during the day, and with that shameful thought in mind, he used the cup used by that person to finish drinking this cup of tea.

Yan Zizhan is the pillar of the pear garden, and he usually sings twice in seven days.

Although Zhang Lingyu came here quickly, he was busy with military affairs, so it was not bad if he could come twice a month.

So when Yan Zizhan was about to go on stage again after a few days, he was a little surprised when he saw Zhang Lingyu in the audience.

At this time, there was still a while before leaving the stage, Yan Zizhan didn't bother to change clothes, he left the backstage directly, went to make a cup of tea, and handed it to the boy to deliver to Zhang Lingyu.

Every time Zhang Lingyu came, he would personally make a cup of tea for him, using tea leaves that he was reluctant to drink himself, and he also learned the way of making tea from the old master in the city.

After he finished his order, he went to the stage without further delay, and began to sing to the sound of drums and gongs.

Sitting next to Zhang Lingyu was his adjutant Xia Mingqi. Song Zeting was supposed to be sitting on this seat, but the old fox said he had something to deal with, so he didn't come.

Xia Mingqi was supposed to stand beside Zhang Lingyu, but General Zhang was in a good mood today, so he allowed him to sit beside him.

"General. This is Yan Zizhan's most famous drunken concubine. It looks good." Xia Mingqi said to Zhang Lingyu.

Zhang Lingyu raised his head and looked towards Yanzi.

The man on the stage had a head full of emerald jewels, a red dress fluttering, and long sleeves fluttering.He had peach blossom makeup on his face, and he was playing the role of the drunk Concubine Yang, with three parts of drunkenness and seven parts of obsequiousness, as if it was really that noble concubine's birth, so beautiful that people were shocked.

Zhang Lingyu paused while drinking tea, suddenly his mouth became dry.

[System prompt: The strategy target Zhang Lingyu has a love value of +10, a degree of regret of +0, a current love value of 45, and a degree of regret of 0. 】

He didn't pay much attention to what was going on later, his eyes lingered on the "imperial concubine", fascinated by it.

It was only when the scene ended that Zhang Lingyu came back to his senses.

Yan Zizhan's drunken concubine was only the first play, and after he left the stage, other people came in.

Zhang Lingyu looked at Yan Zizhan's, and then looked at other people's, and he lost interest.

Hearing the soft singing of the actors on the stage, Zhang Lingyu felt bored and fell asleep unconsciously.

Xia Mingqi drank too much tea, and ran to the toilet as soon as the play was over, leaving Zhang Lingyu sleeping there alone.

Yan Zizhan saw that there were no other people outside, so he quietly walked out from behind the curtain and approached Zhang Lingyu.
