Chapter 114 Song Zhe
Chapter 114 Song Zhe
Song Zhe never expected to hear this answer.
In his imagination, Li Xi was just a country girl, who had no idea how lucky she was to have gotten to know Gu Jingzhi. Just as it is easy to go from frugality to luxury but difficult to go from luxury to frugality, when a poor person suddenly becomes rich, she would definitely cling to Gu Jingzhi.
Although he was a little surprised to hear this answer, Song Zhe suddenly didn't feel too surprised after hearing it.
After all, if Li Xi was just a good-for-nothing woman who was obsessed with money, Gu Jingzhi would not be attracted to her. Although he didn't want to admit it, that guy's vision has always been good.
Before Song Zhe could say anything else, Gu Jingzhi came out from the corner and looked at him coldly, "I'm sorry for not welcoming you, Young General Song."
Gu Jingzhi's sudden appearance really caught Song Zhe off guard. He came to him only after he was sure that he had left, but he didn't expect that he would come back like a surprise.
Song Zhe's eyes flickered slightly. He came back so quickly, which meant that there must be someone secretly protecting Li Xi, and Gu Jingzhi really cared about this country girl, otherwise he would not have come back so quickly.
Judging from the position he just came out from and the expression on his face, he should have heard what was said just now. There was a slight flash in Song Zhe's eyes, but it was unknown how much he heard.
"Brother Gu, you are so flattering me by saying that. I am not a big shot. I just happened to pass by your precious place. I happened to hear that Brother Gu has a confidante, so I was a little curious." Song Zhe said with a smile.
If Gu Jingzhi wanted to appear flawless, there would be no problem with that. He just revealed his attitude to him deliberately. Of course, part of it was because he was angry about what Li Xi had just said.
Song Zhe looked at Gu Jingzhi's gloomy expression and was actually quite happy in his heart. One of them was the Major General of the Zhenbei Army, and the other was the Major General of the Southwest Army. They were often compared with each other.
But every time they were compared, he was always the one that was defeated by Gu Jingzhi, and he was naturally unwilling to accept it.
The conflict between the two of them can be traced back to their teenage years in the capital. At that time, Gu Jingzhi was already a gentle young man praised by everyone, and Song Zhe had always been overshadowed by his brilliance.
No matter how good he is, people can only see Gu Jingzhi.
In order to escape from the suffocating environment, Song Zhe took the initiative to go to the southwest. Perhaps it was due to subtle influence, but when he arrived in the southwest, Song Zhe subconsciously learned Gu Jingzhi's way of dealing with people and things, and gradually developed a gentle face.
Zhang Hao, who was following behind Gu Jingzhi, looked at Song Zhe with a frown on his face. Song Zhe gave him a strange feeling, and there was always a sense of incongruity when looking at him.
"I didn't expect Young General Song to be so curious. You know, being too curious about other people's affairs is not a good thing." Gu Jingzhi said coldly.
When Song Zhe heard Gu Jingzhi's blunt words, his gentle expression froze, but he quickly adjusted himself and said, "Thank you for your advice."
"Military affairs in the southwest are busy, so it would be better for the major general to leave early." Gu Jingzhi was too lazy to guess the purpose of his trip, and it was just a few reasons.
Song Zhe was not angry when he heard Gu Jingzhi's order to expel him. He naturally knew that his arrival was not welcome, but he had a mission on this trip and naturally would not leave so easily.
"I have been staying in the southwest. You know that place is full of snakes, insects, rats and ants. It is really not a good place." Song Zhe looked around and said, "But your place is different.
Military affairs in the southwest are busy, but there are people who can handle it, and there is no need for someone like me to be idle. I just happened to have some time, so I thought of taking a look at the scenery of your border.
I don’t know, is Brother Gu welcome?”
Song Zhe's words made it clear that he had no intention of leaving, but Gu Jingzhi did not mean it. He came from the southwest not only to see Li Xi and stir up trouble between them.
"If you're not welcome, you won't stay?"
Song Zhe was looking at Gu Jingzhi, waiting for his answer, when suddenly a female voice interrupted their eye contact. He looked in the direction of the voice.
He saw that the courtyard door that had been closed just now had been opened, and a bright-looking girl was leaning against the door with her chest crossed, looking at him with interest.
Song Zhe was a little surprised to see Li Xi's appearance. He originally thought that a country girl who could be liked by Gu Jingzhi must be extremely beautiful, but he didn't expect that it was just like this. The only special thing was that her eyes were too bright, and the whole person was lazy and confident.
In fact, it’s not that Li Xi is not good-looking. She has a bright face and is an absolute beauty. But Song Zhe, who grew up in the capital, has seen so many good-looking girls. Among them, Li Xi can only be regarded as upper-middle class, and is not really a beauty with extraordinary appearance.
Song Zhe glanced at Gu Jingzhi. This guy was very good at pretending. Many women in Beijing had a crush on him. Some of them were prettier than Li Xi, such as Meng Wanqing, who was known as the most beautiful woman in Beijing.
Li Xi originally wanted to continue teasing Song Zhe. She did not expect Gu Jingzhi to come back suddenly. After listening to a few words, she probably guessed that this young general from the southwest had bad intentions.
I'm afraid it was the hemostatics and anti-inflammatory drugs that caused the problem. After all, in ancient times when the medical system was not perfect, these two drugs were like miracle drugs to them.
Especially for the military, the southwest is home to dense forests and is infested with snakes, insects, rats and ants, so the demand for anti-inflammatory drugs is probably not small.
Li Xi guessed correctly. Song Zhe came here just for anti-inflammatory drugs. They had previously purchased a large amount of hemostatic drugs from the Zhenbei Army, and the effect left them dumbfounded.
But just as Li Xi guessed, anti-inflammatory drugs are more important to the southwestern garrison, and that is exactly why he came here.
After the anti-inflammatory drugs were produced in large quantities, they were sold to several border troops, the Southwest Garrison being one of them. However, after experiencing the effectiveness of the anti-inflammatory drugs, the Southwest Garrison soon found that the drugs were not enough.
Therefore, the purpose of Song Zhe's trip was to purchase a large quantity of anti-inflammatory drugs for the southwestern garrison. Of course, it would be even better if he could bring back the miracle doctor who developed the hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs.
It was the first time that Gu Jingzhi turned his face against Li Xi. He still remembered what she had just said about trees and forests. Li Xi looked at his expression with a guilty look and looked away. What a joke! Couldn't this guy tell that he was lying? They should have been united against the outside world at this time.
The more Li Xi thought about it, the more she felt that she had done nothing wrong, and then she glared at him without any guilt.
Gu Jingzhi: “…”
"If you are not welcome, how do you deal with it?" Gu Jingzhi asked back.
Song Zhe choked. He knew that Gu Jingzhi was not as gentle as he appeared, but he also didn't expect that he would be so rude to him.
Seeing Song Zhe choking, Li Xi couldn't help but laughed out loud.
