chaotic world

The meeting in Beiping lasted for two days, with a tight agenda. Except for one meeting, Du Yunfeng saw Zhou Lan, and in the various small meetings after that, as a direct descendant of the Central Army, he would not be with such a motley crew as the Independent Regiment.

At the meeting, the army commander was speaking, and Du Yunfeng didn't hear what he was saying. When he saw the characters in the first few rows clearly, he turned his head and swept back. brain.

But soon he locked on to Zhou Lan, and the other party seemed to be aware of it, and looked at him through countless profiles.

The cloud was calm, and Zhou Lan just nodded politely, not intertwined with his eyes, and concentrated on listening to Commander Song's lecture on the rostrum.

On the rostrum, Army Commander Song presided over the meeting. The top officers were Commander Yan and Deputy Commander Peng in the theater. The whole venue was extremely solemn. Du Yunfeng sat upright, but turned his head, and stared diagonally behind him with bright eyes.

Xia Qingshan next to him coughed in a low voice, and then simply elbowed Du Yunfeng to correct him.

In the autumn of 1936, the high-level military conference in North China kicked off.

Those two days were really busy, not to mention that officers at all levels had to clarify their own role in the grand strategy, and even a routine defense change was endlessly arguing.

There will be a war between China and Japan sooner or later in North China, and whether it is sooner or later, it makes a big difference in whose hands the cannon fires.

The 29th Army is a miscellaneous army, also known as the Huazi Army, with good military discipline, but poor equipment, but Commander Song is a tough guy, and he also holds administrative positions in four important cities in North China, so everyone in Beiping and Tianjin recommended him to focus on defense. Can't push it away.

Du Yunfeng was the ace army sent by Nanjing. According to strategic estimates, the Japanese navy is powerful. If they want to take over North China, the routine should be to land in Tianjin and open the door to Beiping, so he strongly recommends his department to be stationed in Tianjin.

In addition to those who self-pressurize and demand to bear heavy responsibilities, there are also those who have their own ideas and form cliques to engage in other livelihoods. From morning to night, the number of people fluctuates, and everyone is in a hurry.

At night, various big and small situations unfolded separately.

Army Commander Song invited all important officials to a banquet, and the venue was set at Xishan. Du Yunfeng arrived as scheduled. He estimated that Zhou Lan's independent regiment belonged to Xia Division and would definitely be in the lineup of the 29th Army.

He guessed right, all the military uniforms were shaking, and the officers of the 29th Army were scattered in various boxes to greet their colleagues in other units.

After waiting for Commander Song's opening toast, Du Yunfeng quickly toasted to echo Commander Song's words, and there was a small climax in the box. He clinked glasses with Commander Song alone, and after saying a few affectionate words, he and Colleagues at all levels at the same table exchanged cups.

He has a good capacity for alcohol, and after drinking for three rounds, while everyone was getting to know each other, he took the wine glass and strung it to other boxes.

He wanted to see if Zhou Lan was there, but as soon as he showed his head, he was stopped by sharp-eyed people.

After some courtesies, another round of pushing glasses and changing glasses, and patting shoulders and backs as brothers, he was able to get away.

Xishan Hotel specializes in entertaining various military dignitaries, and it is very grand. There are thirty or forty large boxes on the second floor of the dining building, and there are countless small boxes. It became a wine tank.

Just at this time, I saw Mr. Xia staggering out of the box and staggering towards the bathroom, Du Yunfeng followed, and after a few words, he began to ask questions.

Xia Qingshan's drinking capacity is very average, although there is a bathroom in the box, he ran out to hide from the alcohol.

Mr. Xia has reached the moment when he speaks sharply but is not so clear-headed. He knows everything and talks endlessly, "The leaders of my regiment have come with me, especially Xiao Zhou from the independent regiment. by your side."

Du Yunfeng's heart brightened, and he asked: "Are you afraid that he will cause trouble?"

"How can it be?" Xia Qingshan babbled while holding the marble-topped sink while splashing water on his face, "You all have too much prejudice against him, he came here by defection, and everyone looked at him strangely, in fact, he Don’t take the initiative to provoke anyone, don’t talk to the army when you’re poor and run out of ammunition, and figure out your own way, that’s the skill.”

His face was dripping with water, he raised his head, and leaned back a little, Du Yunfeng stretched out his hand to support him, "Brother Xia."

"It's okay," Xia Qingshan continued, "Bring him by your side. This kid can really drink. He can drink very well. He can speak eloquently. He blocked me a lot of drinks. Look at the ones who came here today. At least they are above the group. Level, what kind of wine can't be drunk?"

Du Yunfeng laughed, and said that it was that, and took the opportunity to help Mr. Xia back to the private room.

"Oh, Yunfeng, it's just in time." As soon as he entered the box, an acquaintance recognized him and greeted him to sit down.

Du Yunfeng laughed loudly: "I'm just passing by. Bring Brother Xia back and leave. Don't drink me."

Zhou Lan was just taking out a cigarette, apparently not expecting him to come in, holding the unlit cigarette, just looking at him steadily.

"Then why is it pouring alcohol? We are brothers, come on." Among the officers at this table, half of them are acquaintances of Du Yunfeng, and two are colleagues from Whampoa, who graduated two semesters later than him.

Everyone put the drunk Xia Qingshan on the sofa in the private room, and dragged Du Yunfeng to the table. The waiter hurriedly added chairs and brought up new bowls and chopsticks. Sitting down on Xia Qingshan's seat, he suddenly said, "Don't add a chair, it's really crowded, I'll just sit here."

Zhou Lan didn't make a fuss with the crowd, but turned to look at him beside him, and probably understood in her heart that this guy did it on purpose.

"Crack," he rang the lighter, and Du Yunfeng handed the torch to Zhou Lan, "Head Zhou, I'm sitting here, are you welcome?"

Everyone thought he was joking, so they laughed and shouted to top up the guy's wine.

Zhou Lan was neither surprised nor pleased, he smoked the cigarette with full of vigilance, took a sip and put it down, thinking about what Du Yunfeng meant by this in his mind—it is Du Yunfeng's way to hurt someone while smiling—but Is it necessary to play this city with yourself?

Is Du Yunfeng going to attack?

But He Si said that Du Yunfeng didn't remember anything.

Zhou Lan originally thought that Du Yunfeng might be lying to him, but after a second thought, he felt that Du Yunfeng was not such a person.

What does it mean that he is sitting beside him with a smile?

Not the one who remembers, nor the one who doesn't remember!

Zhou Lan thought about thousands of possibilities in his heart, and smiled lightly on his face, turning his body to the other handrail, slightly away from Du Yunfeng.

At this time, the people who were laughing just now came up with wine glasses, and they besieged Du Yunfeng, but Du Yunfeng didn't refuse, and the soldiers came to cover them with water and soil, and accepted them all with a smile.

During the period, he didn't know if it was intentional, he picked up the cigarette that Zhou Lan had just put down, put it in his mouth, and bragged in high spirits.

Zhou Lan didn't join the team that bombed him, but just looked at him, remembering that when the two were together a few years ago, Xiao Yunfeng was also such a vibrant and lively young man. If there is any difference, it is that he is more energetic now. Not only is it young and energetic, but it also adds a steady taste.

So good, really good.

It's a pity that this life is a bad fate.

Life and death are big things, big mistakes are made, and there is no turning back.

Everyone exchanged cups and glasses, Zhou Lan socialized naturally and talked as usual, except that he didn't get close to Du Yunfeng.

The wine shop was lively and there were so many people, no one noticed that he and Du Yunfeng were so close, yet they didn't say a word.

Not long after, Zhou Lan quietly left the box. He asked Xiao Bing to drive the car downstairs. He planned to leave first, and it would not be too late to explain the reason when Master Xia woke up tomorrow.

It was inconvenient to go back to the box while waiting for the car to be free, so he smoked a cigarette in the bathroom to pass the time.

Du Yunfeng exchanged glasses with everyone, but in fact, he was always watching him out of the corner of his eye, as soon as he went out, he followed him out.

As soon as the cigarette was lit, Du Yunfeng followed in.

Zhou Lan put down the cigarette, subconsciously wanted to hide, and said, "What are you doing here?"

Du Yunfeng didn't speak, just wiped his face, without smiling at the wine table, just walked around him.

Zhou Lan was the center of the circle. Du Yunfeng drew a closed circle with his steps, and his gaze never left the center of the circle, like a wolf staring at food.

Hunger, longing, even full of gratitude for meeting.

Zhou Lan didn't move, his eyes slid across the crystal vase on the marble table, and he should be able to reach it a few steps away.

Du Yunfeng didn't see Zhou Lan's thoughts, he was full of joy now because he finally found the person in his dream.

"Put the water on," he chuckled, then took out the dick and peed in front of his face.

Zhou Lan didn't want to stare at him, so she put out the cigarette and walked into the cubicle.

He stood in the compartment without saying a word, and he didn't open the compartment door until Du Yunfeng's footsteps left and he heard the sound of the door closing.

As a result, Du Yunfeng just pushed the door open and squeezed in.

The compartment was not spacious, and he suddenly squeezed in. Zhou Lan was very surprised, and subconsciously touched the cock on his lower back, and found nothing.

Du Yunfeng noticed it, he frowned, and said in a low voice: "What kind of hatred, you must kill me?"

Zhou Lan sneered: "I think you've really lost your mind. You set up an ambush to kill me. Now come to question me?"

Zhou Lan's eyes were calm. He had imagined meeting Du Yunfeng tensely many times, but he didn't expect to be blocked in the bathroom, which made him very aggrieved, even a little humiliated.

Du Yunfeng hesitated for a moment, and decided to be honest first. "Zhou Lan," he said, "I can't remember some things clearly, but I remember you, I remember a lot of things between me and you. After I met you the day before yesterday, I have been flustered. I tried hard to know what happened thing, but I can't figure it out."

He looked down at Zhou Lan seriously: "But I'm very sure, I don't want to kill you, what about you? Is there any reason why you must kill me?"

As he spoke, he tentatively touched Zhou Lan's hand, but Zhou Lan was stiff and did not respond to him.

So he shook his whole hand and asked tentatively, "I remember, you are mine."

Zhou Lan closed her eyes in pain, looked down at Du Yunfeng holding his hand, his throat was choked.

After a while, he called him softly: "Yunfeng."

The voice from the bottom of my heart, the voice from the dream, Du Yunfeng was instinctively moved, without thinking, he hugged Zhou Lan into his arms, and said in a low voice: "We don't care about the past, okay? If it’s broken, remember to love you, no matter what the reason is, let’s not care about it, okay?”

Zhou Lan was trembling.

He believed what Du Yunfeng said.

Why isn't he like this, he doesn't care about life and death, and still loves each other.

However, he also recognized that Du Yunfeng couldn't remember why they wanted to kill you to the death.

He can't remember, he can love him.But when he remembered?

How can he let go of the hatred of killing his father.

"No," Zhou Lan clenched her fists and said it with almost all her strength.

"why?"

"There is no other way." Zhou Lan broke free from his arms, "You and I will either be strangers, or fight to the death. There is no other option. This life... is gone."

He raised his head, looked at Du Yunfeng's unbelievable expression, tried his best to make himself look so firm, and continued: "That's it, let me out now, or strangle me now, you choose one."

Du Yunfeng failed to show his love, but was run on instead, and was almost irritated—he was showing his favor sincerely, and he didn't care about everything about being chased and killed, isn't that okay?

He smelled of alcohol, bumped into Zhou Lan with his chest out, touched Zhou Lan's neck with both hands, and said, "Shall I choose one?"

Zhou Lan was pushed against the wall by him, panting, not knowing what the other party was going to do, he made up his mind and said, "Yunfeng, you choose one, I will never fight back."

Du Yunfeng looked at him closely, stroked his Adam's apple with his hand, and held the back of his head with his other hand.

The feeling of suffocation came quickly, followed by an even more suffocating deep kiss.

Zhou Lan opened his eyes wide, was stunned for a moment and began to struggle violently, but Du Yunfeng suppressed him tightly.

At this time, there were footsteps outside and everyone's laughing and joking. I don't know which wave of drunks came again.

Du Zhou didn't dare to make a sound, especially Zhou Lan, who could no longer struggle vigorously. He raised his head and looked at Du Yunfeng angrily.

Du Yunfeng smiled very gently, taking advantage of the danger, he lowered his head and kissed again. His kiss was extremely affectionate, carrying all the tenderness and cherishment of his body and mind.

When he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Lan, his eyes were full of sincerity, just like back then.

Seeing it with his own eyes, Zhou Lan's eyes were shaken.

The group of people dispersed, but Zhou Lan didn't move.

Du Yunfeng looked down at him and smiled, showing off a little bit. He could feel that Zhou Lan had an infatuation in his eyes, "You like me." He said.

Zhou Lan was speechless, and his heart was in a mess.

At this time, there was a knocking sound on the compartment door.

"dong dong"

The two didn't respond.

"dong dong dong"

"Who?" Du Yunfeng said, "I'm squatting in a hole to remind me."

Song Shudong's voice came from outside: "Travel seat, it's me."

"Go out and wait for me," Du Yunfeng said, staring at Zhou Lan, who had already lowered his head.

"I won't go," Song Shudong said with no emotion in his voice, "I'll wait for you right here."

Du Yunfeng estimated that Song Shudong should have heard the two talking just now.

With no choice but to be cruel, he pushed open the door and walked out of the cubicle, behind him was Zhou Lan.

Zhou Lan recognized who he was with just a glance. Zhou Lan turned to look at Du Yunfeng.

Zhou Lan guessed it vaguely.

In the past at Black Eagle Mountain, this kid and Du Yunfeng were a bit tricky, but Zhou Lan hadn't gotten along with Du Yunfeng at that time, so he didn't care about it. Later, in the security team, he tried his best to avoid Song Shudong.

It's all right now, I'm sick.

And I look like a clown, what were you doing just now?Cheating?

He sneered, laughing at his embarrassment, and was about to walk out.

"Tuan Zhang," Song Shudong said suddenly, "stay."

Du Yunfeng grabbed Song Shudong by the neck, "Shudong!" He was in a hurry.

Song Shudong couldn't break free, gave up struggling in vain, turned his head and shouted at the top of his voice: "You and him are in the past, and now I am his man."

Zhou Lan turned her head and tried her best to calm her voice: "I know, but it has nothing to do with me."

Du Yunfeng raised his hand high, almost wanting to slap Song Shudong to death, but Song Shudong turned his head to look at him with angry eyes: "Du Yunfeng, have you ever said that you will never betray me for the rest of your life? You said that you will never let anyone touch me again." I have one finger, you want to hit me today? You said you only want me alone, just talking on the bed? "

Du Yunfeng couldn't do anything, he didn't know what to say, he just looked at Zhou Lan in horror: "Xiao Mu'an?"

Zhou Lan's eyes were red, and he couldn't tell whether it was the washing water or the tears, so he propped up the wall with one hand, barely stood up straight, and put on a smile: "When things come to this, let's all live a decent life, Brigadier Du, goodbye. "

After that, he opened the door and walked out without hesitation.

Du Yunfeng's legs were filled with lead, and he knew it was useless to chase him. He put down Song Shudong, feeling physically and mentally exhausted and at a loss what to do.

As soon as the group meeting on the second day was over, Du Yunfeng went to find Zhou Lan, but his colleagues said that he had already gone back to his residence in Xishan Hotel, and Du Yunfeng hurried away without eating, only to find out that Zhou Lan had just left.

He suddenly felt that it would be really difficult to see Zhou Lan again in the future.

It turned out later that his premonition was very accurate. Not only did he not have the opportunity to meet Zhou Lan, he even ran out of time to meet Zhou Lan.

In 1936, in the golden autumn of October, Commander Zhang suddenly rose up in the ancient capital of Xi'an and detained the chairman of the committee, causing a public outcry across the country.

Commander Zhang is the chairman's brother-in-law. The move was very sudden. All of a sudden, there was an undercurrent of factions in the party. Those who defeated Chiang, those who supported Chiang, and those who were pro-Japanese and pro-Soviet all took action.

Du Yunfeng was tossing and turning between the political torrents in the open and in the dark, which was very dangerous and embarrassing.

He is a child of Whampoa, a direct descendant of Principal Jiang, but he is also a person recommended by Commander Zhang. His status is very special. Jiang and Zhang turned against each other.

His political departure is very subtle, he is loyal to the country and resolutely opposes Japan.But at the same time, he can't stand in the camp of condemning Commander Zhang. He can't save the political tide, but he can't follow the trend and repay favors.

Therefore, the autumn and winter of 1936 were extremely cruel and cold for him.He almost stays at home and doesn't see anyone, because any action of his will arouse suspicion. He has thought about seeing Zhou Lan, and even wanted to call him, but in such a sensitive season, any unintentional move of his will drag people into the water.

Originally recruiting troops, his brigade was expected to be upgraded to a division by the end of the year, but now that the team is growing, there will be suspicion of bad intentions, so he even transferred some of his troops to the 29th Army, which is a wise way to protect himself.

The prosperous Du Lu suddenly stopped his flags and drums, and fell silent for the whole autumn and winter. When the matter in Xi'an was resolved peacefully under the mediation of many parties at the end of the year, his situation would be better.

However, Du Yunfeng sensitively discovered that the environment of interpersonal relationships has undergone earth-shaking changes - before, when he was popular, how many people called him brothers and wanted to get in touch with him, but now his face has changed like a book, and some people havetened to distance themselves from him; Some people are smiling tigers, on the surface they are polite and dig him secretly; there are even those who were envious and jealous at the beginning, digging traps everywhere waiting to trap him.

Only then did he realize that the world he saw when he was on his way to the top was not considered a big storm in the officialdom, but now that he was standing on the cusp of the storm, the treacherous and changeable officialdom had revealed the tip of the iceberg of hidden reefs and dangerous shoals.

In the past, relying on his being a direct descendant, he galloped across the political battlefield without hesitation, but now he has just realized that the factions in the party are complicated, and the battles are cruel and fierce, and if he is not careful, he will be smashed to pieces.

In the short few months of autumn and winter, Du Brigade's military salary was severely deducted. He knew what was going on in his heart. During this sensitive period, he could not ask for salary in a fair manner.But soldiers are human beings, and they have to eat and wear cotton clothes. Du Brigade's equipment is good, but it also burns a lot of money. There is no money to buy bullets, and even a high-end gun is just an iron rod.

He was overwhelmed and struggled through the winter, and in these short few months, Zhou Lan in Baoding spent the most peaceful time with He Si during the days when Du Yunfeng had completely disappeared.
