Qi Zizhen had no intention of continuing to listen to their thoughts about their happy and happy life in the future. After a while, he let out a sigh of relief, turned around and left quietly.

However, just as he continued to grope out from the no-man's corner, he suddenly heard some voices of dispute coming from the door of the tent area.

"I'm not afraid of any plague if I'm strong. Let me in." Tang Leyuan, who was alone, stood in front of the soldiers on duty in the camp area, with a worried expression on his face.

The expressions of the two soldiers also became a little helpless and embarrassed: "But the military doctor did order that it is best not to let people in during this period of time. I hope General Tang will not embarrass us."

I don't know if it was because of repeated disputes to no avail, Tang Leyuan chose to give up after a moment of stalemate, and turned back with a depressed face.

Qi Zizhen looked at his leaving figure, and instinctively told him that Tang Leyuan was not someone who gave up so easily.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for him, who was standing there waiting for a rabbit, to guard Tang Leyuan who also wanted to sneak into the tent area.

"... Aqi?"

Tang Leyuan was startled by a figure in the darkness, and it took a while to see that it was Qi Zizhen.

Qi Zizhen looked up at him, his eyes were cold, reflected in the moonlight like a pool of calm spring water, and it seemed that turbulent waves might surge out at any time.

Tang Leyuan was a little confused by his glance, so he asked tentatively: "Did anyone mess with you?"

Qi Zizhen shrugged: "No one."

"Then why are you here alone?" Tang Leyuan obviously didn't believe it, "You still look very bad."

Qi Zizhen's expression was still very flat: "I'm going out for a walk, looking for a place to watch the stars. How about you?"

When this topic was brought up, Tang Leyuan immediately remembered the anger he had received just now, and he didn't care about anything else, and said angrily: "Didn't I hear that there is a camp area here where many soldiers have been feverish in recent days, so I want to come over here?" Looking at the situation, who would have thought that they actually blocked me outside and refused to let me in, saying that they might be infected by the plague."

"Does he really think that the plague is so easy to catch? If it was really the plague, the soldier who reported it ran from here to find the prince, so he would have infected all the people along the road long ago? Everyone knows that people are not allowed to enter the camp. Don’t you know how to take protective measures when you go to report? Are they stupid or do they think I’m stupid?”

A series of questions were raised, and Qi Zizhen intuitively felt how angry Tang Leyuan was.

He calmly persuaded him, "Be safe and don't be impatient", and then suddenly changed the subject: "Is there any wine? Have a pot with me."

When Tang Leyuan heard his words suddenly, he was stunned for a while and said "Hey", and asked him: "Didn't you say that your highness won't let you drink?"

Qi Zizhen said indifferently: "Just drink a little and don't let him know."

Tang Leyuan looked at him dubiously, afraid that he had set some kind of trap for him to jump into. After all, what happened in Jixian Tower last time scared him enough, and he didn't want to do it again.

Qi Zizhen could see his concerns, but he didn't seem to intend to force it: "Just say whether you come or not, and if you don't come, I'll drink it myself."

Having said all this, Tang Leyuan finally gritted his teeth and said decisively: "Come on! It's rare for someone to drink together, of course we have to come!"

Qi Zizhen didn't stay here too long, and went to Tang Leyuan's camp openly after going around with him for a while.

Only Song Yaoxu, Qi Zizhen, Tang Leyuan and another lieutenant selected by Song Yaoxu had separate tents in the barracks. The four of them had tents relatively close to each other, but they were also divided into groups of two.

Tang Leyuan's camp was next to another lieutenant general's tent. When they returned, the light in that lieutenant general's tent had already been turned off, so he was supposed to be resting.

Qi Zizhen lowered his voice, walked in and waited for Tang Leyuan to bring out his wine.

For convenience during the march, the wine Tang Leyuan brought was still served in small jars.He took out two altars, put one of them in front of Qi Zizhen and said, "I didn't bring much drunken wine in total. For the sake of our good relationship, I'll drink this with you this time."

Qi Zizhen thanked him for his kindness, picked up the altar in front of him unceremoniously, and asked, "Is there a cup?"

Regarding his question, Tang Leyuan held a disdainful attitude: "Of course you can drink directly from a jar, but drinking from a cup is so boring."

"That's wrong." Qi Zizhen opened the wine jar unhurriedly, "As the saying goes, good things need to be tasted carefully, since it's good wine, of course you need to taste it slowly in the cup, wouldn't it be more boring to drink it in two or three sips? "

"So, do you have a cup?"

Tang Leyuan always felt that there was something wrong with what he said, and didn't know how to refute, so he got up and brought Qi Zizhen a clean porcelain white wine glass.

"Thank you." Qi Zizhen took the wine glass and thanked him casually, and filled the small wine glass with drunken wine.

The thick aroma of wine overflowed from between the wine jar and the wine glass, and permeated the entire tent almost instantly.

Qi Zizhen picked up the wine glass and took a sip, feeling a little sweetness on the tip of his tongue, and a little sourness when it spread along the tip of his tongue. The slightly spicy feeling does not make people feel stinging, but it is more tasteful with layers.

Compared with the green plum wine that is common in Guoshita drinks, Tangjia's Zuiqiongniang has a more mellow taste of drinking.

He sipped the portion of the wine glass, and suddenly asked, "Le Yuan, if you could become famous in this battle, what would you do?"

"Huh?" As if he didn't expect him to ask such a question suddenly, Tang Leyuan held the wine jar and tilted his head for a while, then replied with a smile, "If I really want that day, of course I will study harder and become a A qualified general who can send troops at any time! At least he must not be like this now, knowing nothing."

Having said that, he thought for a while before continuing to add: "Of course, it would be even better if he could become a general who can deter neighboring countries like those generals in Liguang's time, so that no one would dare to bully our Ling Dynasty casually." gone."

Qi Zizhen listened to his description, and continued to ask: "Then if you become famous in the first battle, Guan Wang wants to invite you to join his camp?"

"It must be a refusal!" This time Tang Leyuan replied very decisively, and his expression became a little resentful, "I have always been the most disgusted by the behavior of Guan Wang's lineage, and of course it is impossible to join them."

"But what if the consequence of not joining is being wronged to death by them?" Qi Zizhen looked at Tang Leyuan and asked calmly.

Tang Leyuan seemed to think that this was an unnecessary question, so he took it for granted: "So what? As long as I behave properly, I believe that there will be times when unjust, false and wrongly convicted cases are rehabilitated. I don't want to be tortured to death by them." Go with them."

Qi Zizhen's expression was still very flat. He met the firm light in Tang Leyuan's eyes, and then asked, "But aren't you unwilling? Obviously you have such talent and talent, and you should have a broader future , maybe it will be famous in history. But because of this, it disappeared from now on, and there are not even many splashes left."

Perhaps feeling his inexplicable seriousness, Tang Leyuan was taken aback for a moment, and then responded with a chuckle after a while: "But what's the use of these famous reputations?"

Qi Zizhen was slightly stunned, and saw Tang Leyuan resting his chin with one hand, shaking the wine jar in a very casual manner.

"I shouldn't have told you, I actually don't care about these posthumous names. I don't want to make any great achievements, and I don't want to be famous in the first battle. These are not important to me.

"As long as I am still in the world and can still do my part, the people are at peace, the country is still there, and my family is still there, that's enough."

Qi Zizhen looked at his transparent and clean smile, and unconsciously recalled the sighing young general in his previous life.

He was also a talented person who turned out to be born out of nowhere, and he was also a dazzling and charming child. What would he be thinking when he was dying in his previous life?

Qi Zizhen didn't know, but at least he could guess that Tang Leyuan would never be like his previous self, sinking into despair and unable to escape.

He refilled his wine glass and softened his tone: "Then I don't have to worry about your betrayal in the future."

Tang Leyuan, who is stubborn: "...So you just asked me those things because you are afraid that I will betray you?? You don't trust me!"

Tang Leyuan, who just answered the question with sincerity, felt hurt, and turned his back with the wine jar, full of anger.

Qi Zizhen, who really didn't fully trust him before, was a little guilty. He coughed lightly and found an excuse: "Your Highness is weak now, and he may be bitten back at any time. Since I have decided to help His Highness, I always treat people around me with respect." Be careful."

Tang Leyuan turned his head and looked at him quietly: "Is it really just because of His Highness?"

Qi Zizhen nodded sincerely: "You should also be able to see that under the influence of King Guan, His Highness is really too weak. Moreover, there are actually many eyeliners of King Guan in the East Palace. Some people move their hands and feet."

Hearing his explanation, Tang Leyuan reluctantly accepted it. After all, Song Yaoxu's previous position could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and it was indeed too dangerous.

He let out a breath, turned around and asked suddenly: "Ah Qi likes His Highness, right? The kind of love between love and love."

Qi Zizhen met his purely questioning gaze and nodded in response: "Well, if it weren't for Your Highness, I wouldn't be where I am today."

In the Ling Dynasty, masculinity gradually prevailed since the period of the previous emperors, and it has become a very common thing at the moment of Emperor Hongchu.It may be rare among dignitaries, but it is not uncommon either.

Tang Leyuan is not a delicate person. To him, liking means liking, and these are all normal things, so there is no need to hide it and dare not say it.

He looked at Qi Zizhen's gentle expression when he mentioned His Highness, and couldn't help asking: "Then do you think His Highness likes you?"

"Yes." Qi Zizhen didn't hesitate to answer it, he knew why Tang Leyuan asked such a question, and after answering, he took the opportunity to explain, "Although His Highness is very gentle to everyone, there is actually something different."

"He will learn how to make wine and bandages for the younger brothers, and take care of their rest at night. But he will not try to change his views because of what the younger brothers say, and he will not have behaviors that go beyond the boundaries of brothers.

"Do you think His Highness likes me?"

Listening to his natural tone, Tang Leyuan was a little speechless: "You really are not humble at all. According to the plot of the script, shouldn't it be a bitter drama at a time like this?"

Qi Zizhen picked up his wine glass and glanced at him, his eyes were calm, but Tang Leyuan was able to taste some foolish emotions for no reason.

Tang Leyuan chose to shut up obediently.

But he couldn't close it for a long time, and he changed the subject and continued: "Then you have already touched in the area near the camp today, right?"

Qi Zizhen did not deny it, and took a sip of wine slowly: "They are pretending to be sick, and they are trying to be deserters in a fair manner."

"As expected!" Tang Leyuan, who grew up in a family of generals, hates this kind of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and drink the last sip of wine from the jar angrily.

Then he threw the empty wine jar on the table, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he asked, "Then when are you going to tell His Highness? Keeping such a person is a waste of military rations!"

Qi Zizhen didn't answer, but quietly drank the wine in the glass little by little.

Following his long silence, Tang Leyuan recovered from his depression, and frowned: "You can't be...not going to tell His Highness, are you?"

Qi Zizhen nodded, looking at the empty wine glass in his hand: "I won't say it for the time being. I will tell him unless His Highness can't notice the strangeness of the matter within three days, and this will be the last time I am here Help His Highness in matters."

Tang Leyuan was a little puzzled: "But don't you like His Highness? Why don't you keep helping?"

Qi Zizhen stroked the wine glass in his hand, and the few strands of hair scattered in front of him reflected the warm yellow candlelight, casting a hazy shadow on the side of his face.

He answered unhurriedly: "It's because I like it, so I have to let your highness grow up. If I tell your highness everything and handle everything for him, then what's your highness doing with the 20-year-old Emperor Hongchu?" what differences are there?"

Tang Leyuan responded speechlessly, he had never considered the direction Qi Zizhen said before.

After a long time, he regained his composure, and asked a little worriedly: "Then what if His Highness can't handle it well? You can't just sit and watch the worst result happen, can you?"

Qi Zizhen shook his head, his voice was very soft: "No, I trust Your Highness."

He recalled the figure beside the candle lamp that was always shaking in the middle of the night, and the cold whiteness under the moonlight in front of the camp that night, with a slight smile in his eyes.
