Lu Zhishan was so busy that he stepped forward to help Zhao Jingting: "General Zhao, get up quickly. We don't need this kind of red tape."
"There is indeed no need between me and the general, but this is a salute given to the general by the 70,000 heroes on the battlefield from my subordinates. Please don't refuse, general." As he said this, Zhao Jingting kowtowed to Lu Zhishan three times. .
Lu Zhishan said nothing and accepted Zhao Jingting's kneeling ceremony. When Zhao Jingting finished the ceremony, Lu Zhishan was busy lifting Zhao Jingting up and looked at his red eyes, deep eye lines, and white hair. Lu Zhishan also felt that his nose was sore. He sighed: "Jingting, I have worked hard for you these years."
Zhao Jingting said in a hoarse voice: "Yong Zhan, no matter how hard I work, I can't compare to the cold reception you suffered in the capital."
Du Heng said: "It's cold outside, the two generals please talk inside."
Zhao Jingting thought of Lu Zhishan's leg disease and said to Lu Zhishan in a hurry: "Yes, yes, Yongzhan, let's go in and talk, and we'll freeze you carefully."
"Well, we finally met and we want to have a good conversation." Lu Zhishan smiled and was helped into the other courtyard by Du Heng.
Zhao Jingting followed behind. Looking at Lu Zhishan's slightly lame leg, he felt uncomfortable again. He rubbed his face in a hurry and followed Lu Zhishan into the study.
Two charcoal fires had been lit in the study, which was very warm. Lu Zhishan and Zhao Jingting took off their cloaks and sat on the soft couch. Du Heng came in and made tea for them, and took a soft pillow and placed it on Du Heng's bed. Under his legs, he bowed and retreated, leaving the two of them talking alone.
"Yong Zhan, your legs... are not healed yet?" Zhao Jingting couldn't help but ask, "Didn't the doctor in Kunming say that as long as you take good care of yourself, it will heal in a year or two? Why are you still... okay now? Where’s Lisuo?”
Lu Zhishan comforted him and said: "It can be considered recovered, but every time it comes to the cold winter, it will inevitably be sore for a while. After all, the muscles and bones have been injured, but it is not the worst to be able to recover to this point."
Zhao Jingting gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that you were framed last year and you knelt in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a full hour when the weather was freezing. If it hadn't been for that time, you wouldn't be in trouble now."
Lu Zhishan slightly curled his lips: "That's true, but Jingting, you know my temper best. If people respect me, I will respect others. On the contrary, I will retaliate, so you don't have to do this." Gritting my teeth.”
Zhao Jingting said bitterly: "As soon as I heard about what happened next, I guessed about 70% of it, but I really didn't think it was enough. The general is a great hero who carries a sword and rides on horseback to conquer the world. The general's body is more important than anything else, even if Even if they lost their lives, it was not enough."
"Jingting, after all these years, your temper has not changed at all. It's no wonder that there is no one in the court who is willing to speak for you all these years," Lu Zhishan took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Jingting, I think it's time for you to rein in your temper."
"Yong Zhan, you know me. I joined the army at the age of fourteen and stayed in the military camp for nearly thirty years. I am used to speaking directly. I am also naturally straight-talking. I can't learn the twists and turns of my thoughts. Yong Zhan , To be honest, not only can I not get used to it, but I can't learn from it." Zhao Jingting looked a little helpless, "When I saw their faces, I couldn't hold back my anger. Now the mountains and rivers of Dali are broken, and the country cannot be conquered. An Zhi is not the handiwork of this court worm?"
