Quick Wear: I Became the Savior of the Doomsday

Zhang Daqian's eyes were fixed on those tablets. He still remembered the voices and smiles of many of the people on them, especially Liang Jin's.

He took a step forward and took out three incense sticks from the side, lit them with the candlelight, and waved his hand to extinguish the flame. Green smoke rose up, and the unique smell of sandalwood in the air became stronger.

"I don't know what you are talking about, Zhong Suhan. Did you get your brain damaged by fighting all these years? I came here with good intentions to check on your injuries, but you didn't answer me, and you even questioned me."

The incense sticks were inserted into the incense burner. Zhong Suhan could no longer bear it and dropped the cane in his hand. He grabbed his collar with one hand and angrily hit him in the face with the other hand.

"Zhang Daqian! Are you really here to visit me out of kindness? You know whether the banquet that day was the Hongmen Banquet or not!"

It has been many years since Zhang Daqian came off the battlefield. Even though he has never slacked off in training for a single day during these years, his stable life has worn away some of his fierceness from the battlefield.

When Zhong Suhan swung his fist, he failed to launch an effective and fatal attack in the first place. Only after being hit hard did he realize that this man was the invincible General Zhenyuan on the battlefield.

He kicked Zhong Suhan in the abdomen, widening the distance between the two people.

There was no need for him to continue pretending even though his face was torn. He spat the saliva mixed with blood on the blue brick floor, felt the looseness of his teeth with the tip of his tongue, and sneered.

"Hongmen Banquet? Did you know that it wasn't me who organized the banquet that day, but Shi Pian! He said that we have been estranged for many years, and we are brothers from the same gang. The sergeant will definitely be unhappy to see us like this! He specially asked me to find a place to invite you, Li Yun, and two other eloquent adults to have a meal together!"

Zhang Daqian's eyes widened as he spoke, gritting his teeth and saying, "If I had known that Li Yun would die to protect you like Sergeant Wu, I would not have invited you to dinner even if Shi Pian had said so, you ungrateful person!"

"Who are you calling a ruthless person?" Zhong Suhan felt a chill all over her body. If it wasn't Zhang Daqian, could it be Shi Pian? But at the moment, she couldn't care less about that. She just wanted to fight with him.

Zhang Daqian had the same idea, and the two of them soon started fighting.

One had been off the battlefield for many years and his skills were not as good as they used to be, while the other was seriously injured and his strength had been greatly reduced. When they collided, they fought back and forth.

The maidservant beside Jiao Liu'er exclaimed when she saw this, and subconsciously looked at her, "Madam, this... this..."

This maid was assigned to her by Yun Su, and she did not come with Daheishan.

Seeing this, Jiao Liu'er cursed in her heart that the man was cowardly, smiled and soothed him twice, then spoke.

"You are so frightened by the captain's discussion with his former colleagues? What a shame! Well, go get a doctor and let my sister-in-law know. When the captain has finished his discussion with Lord Zhang, go visit her."

Although the little girl was frightened, she knew that the lady wanted her to call Liang Jiang and let the sergeant's widow stop the two men, so she responded and ran out after picking up her skirt.

Ming Qiu glanced at Jiao Liu'er and had to admit that she had some of the demeanor of a mistress of the house. From the corner of his eye, he saw Luo Kuan's somewhat unnatural movements, as if he wanted to get up to help Zhong Suhan fight, but suddenly remembered something and finally did not get up.

The little girl was quick and soon called Liang Jiang over. At this moment, Zhang Daqian's body was covered with bruises, and Zhong Suhan was not much better off. All the wounds on her body had opened wide, and blood had soaked through her clothes, staining them an odd dark red.

Liang Jiang's eyes turned red when she saw this. When she came here, she heard the little maid tell her the whole story. Seeing that the two of them were determined to fight to the death, she said, "Why can't you talk it out nicely? You have to fight like this! Does Liang Jin want to see you like this?"

In addition to the maidservant, Liang Meijing was also with her. Seeing her crying, she quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. "Mom, don't cry. The doctor said that you can't cry with these eyes."

Zhang Daqian hadn't seen Liang Jiang for ten years. A few years after Liang Jin's death, he visited her almost every year and left a large sum of money every time he visited.

But later, as the war became more and more busy, he gradually ran out of time and energy, and slowly went from giving money every month to giving some during the New Year and other festivals.

After arriving in the capital, he never thought that he would see Liang Jin's widow again. For a moment, he didn't know how to face this old sister-in-law.

When Zhong Suhan saw her coming, he was thinking about her eyes. When he heard Liang Meijing say this, he quickly forced a smile and walked forward, "Sister-in-law, don't cry. Daqian and I are sparring. We often spar like this in the military camp, right, Daqian?"

"Ah? Ah, yes, sister-in-law, don't cry." Zhang Daqian stepped forward and noticed that there was a young girl following Liang Jiangshi. The girl had dark and rough skin and her facial features were somewhat similar to Liang Jin. "You are a beautiful girl, you have grown so big in the blink of an eye."

"Hello, Uncle Zhang."

When Zhang Daqian heard her calling him, he was delighted. He searched high and low to find a gift for the girl, but found that his jade pendant and other items had been shattered to pieces in the fight. He could only scratch his head and stuff a silver note into her hand.

Seeing this, Zhong Suhan sneered and said, "Since I have brought my sister-in-law and Meijing here, how can I still owe them money? Zhang Daqian, who are you looking down on?"

"You!" Zhang Daqian blushed and wanted to argue with him, but then he thought that this person was always sharp-tongued and arguing with her would only make him suffer, so he could only hum, "My sister-in-law is here, I won't argue with you."

Seeing this, Jiao Liu'er hurried forward to smooth things over. She first reprimanded the maid for bringing Liang Jiangshi here, and then punished the little maid a little before saying, "You must be tired after sparring with Lord Zhang for so long. I have asked someone to prepare hot water. Why don't you go with Lord Zhang to wash up, apply some medicine, and then go sit in the pavilion in the garden with your sister-in-law Meijing?"

Her words were neither humble nor arrogant, her behavior was calm and measured, and her smile was so appropriate that there was nothing to fault with her.

Zhang Daqian could not help but look at her a few more times. He saw Jiao Liu'er standing there holding a gray and white mixed-haired rabbit. Her face was bright and beautiful. The hairpins on her head were swaying slightly, which highlighted her playfulness and more importantly, the dignified demeanor of this woman.

He smiled and praised: "I thought Zhong Suhan was not presentable for marrying a prostitute, but I didn't expect you to be more presentable than our wife. With you at home, no wonder he refused to take a concubine for many years. Your sister-in-law is indeed a wonderful person with both virtue and talent. It's a pity that Li Yun doesn't have the blessing to meet you."

After saying that, Zhang Daqian glanced at Zhong Suhan. From the fight just now, it was not difficult to understand that they had some different opinions on the matter of Li Yun's death.

Jiao Liu'er accepted his compliment with a smile, called a maid to take Li Yun to wash up, and then sent Liang Jiangshi and Meijing away. Then she gave some gold and silver coins to the maid who called Liang Jiangshi over. When everyone had left and only Zhong Suhan and her were left, she nervously rushed forward to ask her if anything was wrong, with tears in her eyes.

Zhong Suhan found this funny and reached out to wipe her tears, but unexpectedly the blood on his arm flowed to his fingertips, and a streak of bright red appeared on Jiao Liu'er's skin, which was whiter than frost and snow, as red as wintersweet in the snow, and as red as the rouge on her lips.
