Liu De took his servants out, and only Li Zhang and Liu Mei were left in the room. At this time, Liu Mei struggled to sit up, and Li Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to support him, then placed the quilt behind him, so that he could sit and lie there halfway.

"It makes Brother Li laugh. My body is useless. I don't know how long it will last." After Liu Mei sat down at this time, she smiled apologetically to Li Zhang again.

Li Zhang didn't know how to answer after hearing this. This was the second time that Liu Mei had expressed her meaning that she had not had much time. No matter how much he comforted him, he would probably only look pale and powerless. Not to mention Liu Mei, he wouldn't even believe it himself.

"Brother Li, when I met you last time, you were just a child who opened a small shop, but when I saw you again this time, I was already a nobleman in the Song Dynasty. Especially when you helped Cao Wei win Dangxiang in Qingzhou, you even heard that you almost destroyed Dangxiang. When this news came, I was so happy that I ate more rice. If it weren't for the bad health, I might have met the Queen Mother in person to ask for me for you!" Liu Mei took a breath and spoke again.

"Thank you for your praise from Grand Marshal Liu. Dangxiang is mainly the contribution of General Cao. At most, I can only be regarded as playing the edge drum, and I don't even have a battlefield. I really dare not take credit!" Li Zhang said very modestly at this time.

"Haha, don't be modest with me. I know very well what happened in Qingzhou. If you hadn't taken the lead first, Cao Wei wouldn't have found such a good opportunity to hurt Dangxiang's vitality in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, our Song Dynasty is also short of financial resources and cannot support an expedition. In addition, the ministers in the court also opposed the war, so Cao Wei's plan to expedition to Dangxiang was also put on hold." When Liu Mei said the last, she also showed a bit of regret on her face.

Although Liu Mei was a relative of the foreign country and had done some disgraceful things, he had also been a military general before. He had followed the general Pan Mei to expedition to Guangnan and was also in the north to rule the border. His qualifications were older than Cao Wei. In addition, his relationship with Liu E, so he knew more about the matter in the army than anyone else.

It was the first time that Li Zhang knew that Cao Wei had actually written a letter to suggest that the court go to the Dangxiang. Last year, Dangxiang was defeated and the main force was almost completely destroyed. It was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but he did not expect that the court did not agree, which made Li Zhang secretly complain.

"You have made military achievements at a young age, and have offered muskets and smelting methods before. The Empress Dowager attaches great importance to you. It can be said that you have a bright future now, and you are not married. I don't know how many women in Tokyo are thinking about you!" At this moment, Liu Mei suddenly changed her topic and spoke again.

Here comes! Li Zhang also called out inwardly when he heard this. He knew that Liu Mei would talk to him about this. He smiled slightly and said, "The Grand Marshal is joking. The Tokyo woman is thinking that it should be His Majesty. Although the candidate for the queen has been confirmed, after His Majesty's wedding, she will definitely select women to enrich the harem. At this time, I am afraid that all the families with conditions will be preparing."

Seeing Li Zhang deliberately bringing the topic to Zhao Zhen, Liu Mei smiled calmly and said, "It is a good thing to enter the palace to serve Your Majesty, but not all women are willing. For example, the old young girl Qingzhi, she is very resentful of entering the palace. Instead, she has always liked young heroes like Brother Li."

"Well~, the Taiwei is joking. I am not qualified, so how can I be favored by my love?" Li Zhang smiled awkwardly when he heard this. Although he blocked his left and right, he still couldn't stop Liu Mei from turning around the topic. Of course, it was the first time he knew that the girl he had met was originally named Qingzhi. The name was quite nice. She was also beautiful when she was a child, but I don't know if she is now disabled?

"If you also call mediocre qualifications, then the boys in Tokyo would commit suicide in shame!" Liu Mei couldn't help laughing at this time, and then said straight to the point, "I used to take Qingori to your store, and you are considered old acquaintances. Now the girl is at the age of getting married. Although many people come to propose marriage, Qingori doesn't like any of them. I think she should still be thinking about Brother Li."

If it were someone else, he would probably be deceived by Liu Mei's words. However, Li Zhang knew that the old man had no moral integrity at all and could not believe his words at all. He had only met the young lady Qingzhi and even said a few words. How could he always think of him? Such words can only deceive the child who is in love. Anyway, Li Zhang did not believe it.

Of course, if you don’t believe it, Li Zhang couldn’t expose the other party directly, so he smiled pretendingly and said, “I have a deep impression of Miss Qingzhi, but I have no idea of ​​getting married yet, so I’m afraid I will let down Miss Qingzhi’s friendship!”

"Hey~, why don't young people want to get married? As the saying goes, getting married. Before getting married, men can only be calm when they become married. And with a woman at home, men can devote all their energy to their careers. Brother Li is a man and must need a virtuous woman to help you with family affairs. I think Qingzhi is very suitable. I mentioned this to you before, but you refused. Now why don't you think seriously about it?" Liu Mei was not discouraged about Li Zhang's words, but instead asked Li Zhang again.

"this……"

Li Zhang couldn't help feeling helpless when he heard this. He was about to refuse again, but Liu Mei interrupted him and said, "Brother Li, you don't know. In fact, Qingzhi's child is not close to me, because she was born to me and my current wife Qian, and is also our only child. However, I have a huge difference in origin from Qian, and my relationship after marriage is not very good. Qingzhi always thinks that I am not good to her mother, so she has complaints about me. She is not the same mother as other brothers and sisters, so she is not very close to me. I am worried that after I leave, she will be bullied by her brother, so I want to decide her marriage before she dies."
