Chapter 919: North and Love (2)
"General Bei, are you in Beisha City on business?"
Zhang Zhiyi was looking for a topic to talk about.
"No, I'm escorting Yi'er and Princess Zile to the Mountain Valley. I'm on vacation now."
"Vacation?" Zhang Zhiyi was obviously surprised. General Bei would actually take a leave!
"Yes, the border is stable and there's nothing going on in the army, so I want to go out for a walk."
It didn't take Zhang Zhiyi long to understand the deep meaning of his two words "go out" and "take a walk".
In fact, when he was still in Beisha City, he could see that Beiji was interested in He Niangzi at that time.
At that time, he was still overestimating his own abilities and regarded him as a competitor.
The funny thing is that in this war without gunpowder, he is actually the one who is least qualified to compete.
Because he never stayed in her eyes.
But the man opposite, does.
However, things happen in this world, and sometimes the timing when people meet each other is also very important.
"So where is the next stop, General?"
Beiji held the wine glass in his hand, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head.
where to go?
He didn't know where to go either.
The world is so big, but he has never had a home...
It seems that he has always been the one who was abandoned since he was a child.
Her biological parents were like this, her adoptive father was like this, and even she...
Whatever, what right did he have to say that she had "given up"?
After all, nothing had ever happened between them, and nothing had been promised.
"If you don't have a destination right now, why don't you stay in Beisha City and rest for a while?"
"A new group of soldiers has arrived in the defense army. They all admire you. If you're bored, you can come to the camp, chat with the soldiers, and teach them some techniques for killing the enemy."
Bei Ji's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled and said, "General Zhang, are you looking for a free coach?"
Zhang Zhiyi chuckled. "No, no, it's just that I'm so busy with military affairs that I really don't have time to train those brats. Back when you were in Beisha City, you trained the defense army and the Chengfeng army to be ten times stronger than you. I admire you deeply."
"Although Beidi is peaceful now, who can guarantee that it will remain so forever? It's always a good idea to make more preparations."
Beiji agreed with this statement.
Although no one knows what Shen Chuan and the prince and princess talked about, since Shen Chuan was able to end the war so easily, it is possible that she will start a war again at any time.
Now that all the Chengfeng Army has been recalled to the Zhenguo Army, the power of Beisha City really needs to be strengthened.
only……
Seeing that he was still hesitant, Zhang Zhiyi continued, "Those children the general just mentioned, no matter who you leave them to, it's better to take care of them yourself. If you can stay, you can see with your own eyes that they are safe and sound, wouldn't that be better?"
"Of course, I won't let you do this coaching job for free!"
"After the prince left, the palace where he had lived before became vacant. The prince said that his subordinates could be placed wherever they wanted, but they had to do something meaningful."
"General, it seems that nothing is more meaningful than taking in homeless children, right?"
Beiji understood.
He wanted to use the former palace as a shelter to provide a home for the children who were stranded outside.
This seems possible and indeed makes sense.
"If that's the case, then these children need to receive an education, study, eat, drink, and live..."
"I'm responsible!"
Zhang Zhiyi took over.
As long as he can keep Beiji here, he will go to the new governor of Beisha City and seek stable living conditions for those children!
Beiji didn't say anything and drank a glass of wine silently.
This is considered as the default.
After the matter was settled, Zhang Zhiyi escorted him out of the camp and said, "I have a house in the south of the city that is now uninhabited. General, you can stay there temporarily."
Beiji didn't refuse his kindness. He really didn't like the noise in the army and wanted to be alone and quiet.
Following Zhang Zhiyi's personal guards, they arrived at the Zhang family mansion. It was empty, as if no one had lived there for a long time. There was even a layer of dust on the table.
"General Bei, General Zhang said it's too late today, and they'll have someone come to clean up the place tomorrow morning. Please stay here for one night."
Beiji nodded and then let him go back.
The kerosene lamp was lit, and the soft candlelight swayed slightly, adding a bit of warmth to the cold room.
The house was clearly empty, but for some reason, he felt a sense of belonging...
What a strange feeling.
After sitting for a while, the moon outside slanted down, and half of its body was revealed in the corner of the window.
A little tipsy, he stood up, walked to the window, and stared at the moon in a daze.
At this moment, he was not missing anyone, nor was he obsessed with anything, he just completely emptied himself.
In the city late at night, everything is silent, even the birds on the branches are in sweet dreams.
So this is what it means to be “dead at night and asleep”.
He had never felt the silence of the night so carefully before. He was either busy or lost in thought. It seemed that when he looked at the moon, he could only think of one person's face.
But now the moon he saw was just the moon.
Perhaps, if I spend more days like this, I will be able to forget the people I am trying so hard to forget.
Lying on the roof of the yard, he didn't know how he fell asleep.
He had a dream.
In his dream, he held the hand of a person. The person was wearing a wedding dress, a green dress with golden threads and a large phoenix pattern. Her eyes were curved, bright and clear, and there seemed to be something in her eyes that was silently expressing something to him...
When he saw the face clearly, he suddenly woke up and sweat broke out on his forehead.
After all, it’s not that easy!
Never mind, matters of the heart cannot be forced.
You can't force others, and you can't force yourself.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he was about to go back to his room to rest, but he saw five men in black jumping and flying on the eaves of Beisha City in the dark night.
Without thinking for long, he followed.
"The master said that we must bring the person back safely! By then, all the subordinates will have some sense of propriety!"
The man in black who was flying in the front spoke softly. Although his voice was small, it could still be heard clearly by the people around him.
"Yes!" the other four replied.
The five of them continued forward, heading straight north.
Soon, they arrived outside a deserted temple.
The temple was pitch black and quiet, with only a few faint breathing sounds.
The leader made a gesture, and the others sneaked into the deserted temple.
Beiji stood outside the temple, his handsome brows furrowed.
Why are you here again?
Everyone in the temple was sleeping soundly when suddenly a thin green smoke floated in. Not long after, everyone fell asleep again.
The door was opened and several people tiptoed in. They glanced around and finally stopped at Gong Fu.
Two of them took out the sacks they had prepared earlier and put Gong Fu directly into them.
Just when they were about to leave, they discovered that there was a person standing outside.
"Put her down!"
