Old Movies of the Republic of China II

The moonlight was dim, and a dark cloud drifted slowly. On the ground, more than a dozen military trucks drove across the wilderness silently. A hand protruded from the right window of one of them. It's kind of weird.

Qi Qi stubbed out his cigarette, looked around vigilantly, and said, "When you arrive later, don't park your car too close. I'll say hello to them first."

The driver said: "Adjutant Qi, don't worry, I understand."

Ziqi wrapped a blanket around his body and said, "I'll sleep for a while, wake me up in half an hour."

The driver looked at it distractedly, and recognized it under the moonlight: "This is tiger skin? Such a good skin is rare."

"I have an old injury on my body. The major general thought of his subordinates and gave it to me." Qi Qi smiled with a bit of pride in his expression.

He admires and respects Zhang Zheng. Zhang Zheng is an excellent general with strong commanding and combat skills, excellent fighting skills, and excellent physical fitness. support.In the melee of the warlords, he led the guard brigade general Qian Xifu, who dared not invade the Northeast, and became the youngest major general in history.

What fascinates Qi Qi the most is that Zhang Zheng not only possesses extraordinary talents as a general, but also has a huge charisma.He is different from the older generation of generals and officers in the Feng army, and also different from the new generation of non-commissioned officers and college students. He is neither as rough and unbearable as the former, nor as sharp-edged and ignorant as the latter.

Zhang Zheng is a complicated person. Under the military uniform, he is mostly silent, indifferent, and majestic. He can make the most unruly soldier bow his head with just one look. Eldest young master.

Qi Qi had heard many rumors about Zhang Zheng.

He couldn't overlap the handsome and majestic major general with the handsome and majestic Major General Zhang, who was said to act recklessly, relying on his power as a commander-in-chief, but he often felt itchy in his heart, wondering what Zhang Zheng looked like in the past.

Zhang Zheng is his bole, so Qi Qi has a deeper affection for him besides the reverence for the strong.

He hoped that the major general would always be the favored son of heaven, without compromising or worrying about anything. He hoped that everything about him was the best, whether it was food, clothing, housing, transportation, or a powerful lover.

So he doesn't like Qinghe—maybe he should be called Zhang Ziran.

From the gossip of others, Qi Qi knew very clearly that this person was Zhang Zheng's stain and his burden.If Zhang Zheng was just a dandy young master, there would be nothing wrong with being an actor, but he is not, he is a general of the Feng army, Zhang Yishan's successor in the future, and the hope of the Northeast.He is destined to live in the eyes and evaluation of everyone, and the existence of Qinghe will only become a stain on him. People will talk about Zhang Zheng's obsession with a small actor instead of focusing on his achievements on his deeds.

Qi Qi couldn't stand it just thinking about it.

He also didn't understand why the wise and decisive Zhang Zheng would like such a... thing.

Qi Qi thought, even if Qinghe was a woman, he wouldn't mind so much.Or Zhang Zheng shouldn't bring him so blatantly in front of everyone, don't give him any identity, don't act so highly on him in front of everyone, don't...do love him so much.

Ziqi couldn't sleep.

He closed his eyes and clenched the tiger skin tightly with his fingers.

He is very fortunate to be favored by Zhang Zheng in the lecture hall, and to be an adjutant by his side. He knows what a great honor and capital this is. Proud and happy, these are not unimportant to him, but more importantly, he hopes to repay Zhang Zheng for his kindness, and hopes to add to his achievements.

Qi Qi was upset and opened his eyes slightly.

The military vehicle was moving forward in the night, the headlights were flickering, and the sound of unknown bugs could be heard in the distance.Qi Qi moved his fingers to smoke another cigarette, but in the end he didn't.

He fell asleep.

"Adjutant Qi! Adjutant Qi! We're here." The driver gave him a gentle push.

Qi Qi lifted the tiger skin, opened the door and jumped out of the car. Outside the barracks, several soldiers stood guard with guns, pointing at him warily.

The bullets and cannons in the military vehicle were all unloaded, Qi Qi greeted the chief here, and went back with the vehicle.

After a bumpy day and night, he finally returned to the Fengtian barracks.

Qi Qi went to report to Zhang Zheng at the commander-in-chief's mansion, and Hou Xiao was also there. He joked, "It's really scary for young people, Xiao Qi."

Qi Qi said with a stern look: "It's just an escort of supplies."

There was a faint smile on Zhang Zheng's face, which seemed to be admiration for him: "This is not an ordinary material. It's very good that you can lift the weight like this."

Qi Qi straightened his back even more, and saluted him with a "snap!"

Qi Qi's seriousness not only made Hou Xiao laugh, but also deepened the smile on Zhang Zheng's lips.Qi Qi was only eighteen, still very young, even with a sullen face, he could still see a bit of childishness. Zhang Zheng always thought this kid was very funny, and also valued his prudence and stability, and felt that he would have a bright future.

Zhang Zheng said: "Don't go back to the barracks at noon, let's eat outside."

Hou Xiao lazily said: "You guys go, I won't go."

Zhang Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Adjutant Hou is so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat?"

Hou Xiao leaned against the cabinet, looking a bit decadent and not as energetic as before. He bit his lips and said, "I don't want to eat at the same table with that old man. He may not say anything about me."

The smile on Zhang Zheng's face receded.

Qi Qi's heart skipped a beat, "That one"?Who are you talking about?

Zhang Zheng said: "Qi Qi, you go out first and wait in the mansion."

Qi Qi responded yes, saluted again, turned and went out, and closed the door.He looked back and forth nervously, but there was no one around.Ziqi put his ear close to the door, pretending to be waiting at the door.

Zhang Zheng: "Didn't he just say something to you, why are you so narrow-minded."

Hou Xiao: "He set me up! Everything that happened that day was planned by him. Not only did he set me up, he also wanted to kill two birds with one stone and scare Min Zijing!"

Zhang Zheng paused, and said impatiently: "He's playing tricks, and you have to get in."

Hou Xiao couldn't believe it: "Zheng, have you really fascinated him? I admit that I'm not serious enough. Sometimes I don't do my job well enough. I should reflect on it. But don't you think his thoughts are too deep? I think you keep such a person by your side, maybe he will bite you at some point in the future! What's more, he still has such an identity! Do you know what others say about you?!"

Qi Qi probably guessed who "he" was.

Zhang Zheng's tone was as cold as ice in winter: "I know his thoughts best. Keep your mouth shut in the future, or you'll go back to your Xiangdao!"

Hou Xiao's eyes widened.

Qi Qi hurried out, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he was already five meters away.

Hou Xiao came out of the room angrily and strode away.Qi Qi looked at his back, he was not the only one who felt that Qinghe should not stay with the major general, he was a scourge at all, causing great damage to Zhang Zheng's reputation and majesty.

At noon, a western restaurant.

Qinghe smiled slightly: "Why do you have time to eat with me? Aren't you busy with the arsenal recently?"

Zhang Zheng said: "I've given the surname Yang some face after receiving them for two days, and besides, there are still Tao Wenle and so many technicians, let them bother."

With one hand resting on the back of the chair behind Qinghe, he casually flipped through the menu with the other.On the opposite side, Hou Xiao had a dark face. He was indeed very angry when he rushed out of the room in the morning, but he still came limply after calming down.He doesn't want to go back to Xiangdao, he wants to stay in the Northeast, he likes the customs here, he likes to lead troops to fight, here is his future and ideals, and everything he pursues.Xiangdao is his home, everything is good there, but life is too peaceful, too far away from the times, he doesn't want to spend his life amidst singing and dancing.Blood and fire are his journey, and there is no shame in bowing his head for this.

Besides, he is not without fault.

Qi Qi next to Hou Xiao lowered his head.

The two of them agreed that Zhang Zheng was too unscrupulous, and he didn't shy away from them in front of these two "outsiders".He doesn't seem to care what other people think of him or the relationship between him and Qing He, and only he and the people he protects can care less.

Zhang Zheng tapped the table twice, "Order what to eat, do you still want me to ask you?"

Hou Xiao snorted hard through his nose, and then, without looking at the menu, reluctantly reported a list of dishes to the blond waiter next to him. His English was fluent and idiomatic, and he was well-educated and came from the upper class. My son.The waiter's eyes lit up, and he couldn't stop looking at him, obviously admiring him, and even turned his head frequently when he left with the menu in his arms.

Zhang Zheng took out a cigarette, and immediately remembered that he couldn't smoke here, so he put it down casually.

Qinghe smiled and said, "You've been smoking too much lately."

Zhang Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Why, you want to control me again?"

Qinghe remembered that when Zhang Zheng was shot and injured and was recuperating at home, the two of them had a conflict because of this. Time has passed, and he was not as frightened as he was then, but instead met Zhang Zheng's gaze: "I don't like you smoking so much. "

Hou Xiao rolled his eyes in his heart.

Zhang Zheng put the cigarette case in front of him, half-jokingly said: "Then I have to leave this to you."

Qing He was also polite, opened the cigarette box, and added the one that Zhang Zheng took out earlier, making a total of five cigarettes.He slowly tore the tobacco out of it, and soon, brown shredded tobacco was piled up in a small pile in front of him.

Qiqi was dumbfounded.

Hou Xiao couldn't help but said, "Hey, don't waste it, such a good cigarette—"

His voice stopped abruptly, but Zhang Zheng didn't seem to care at all.Hou Xiao felt sorry for those few cigarettes, but his ears felt a little hot for some reason. He was also a person who lived among flowers, but everything he experienced was nothing more than love and sex, so there was a faint warmth in this ambiguity The atmosphere is really strange to him.

The words he said to Zhang Zheng were not entirely out of his original intention, but were filled with emotions.Hou Xiao has been very irritable recently. He always felt that everything was wrong. He tried to find out the reason but couldn't find a solution. Negative emotions continued to ferment.

The waiter quickly brought the wine.

Zhang Zheng patted Qing He and said, "Drink a little and try it."

Qinghe really went to taste it.He has never touched alcohol, even in business.No one dared to pour him a drink, even if his lips just touched the rim of the glass faintly, many people felt that they had gained a great deal of face.His cheeks quickly heated up and turned crimson.

Qi Qi scolded bitterly in his heart: "Fox spirit!"

Hou Xiao is a good drinker, a few glasses of red wine are no problem for him, he just wants to use the wine to get rid of the inexplicably rising heat in his heart and the embarrassment caused by the dispute with Zhang Zheng.He cleared his throat and said, "Zi Ran, why haven't you seen Min Zijing recently?"

Qinghe put down the knife and fork, looked up at him.

Hou Xiao wanted to cover it up and said, "I'm just asking casually, I'm a little curious."

Qing He said: "Of course he has his affairs to be busy... If you have something to ask him, I can pass it on."

Hou Xiao said: "Hey! What can I do with him, don't think too much about it."

Qing He and Zhang Zheng looked at each other, sure enough, Zhang Zheng knew him too well.

Zhang Zheng remained calm, while Qi Qi didn't know who they were talking about. He and Hou Xiao didn't get along for a long time, and they didn't know each other that well yet.He lowered his head and cut his steak silently, feeling that Zhang Zheng's "stain" might be difficult to remove.He couldn't even accept Zhang Zheng's gaze at that person, it was too inconsistent with his perception of Zhang Zheng.

Qing He has always disliked the way Qi Qi looked at Zhang Zheng. He felt that it was not pure admiration, but mixed with other things.

Qing He intentionally eased the relationship with Hou Xiao, so he picked some interesting things to say in his daily life, and said that his life is now focused on business, so it is inevitable to mention it.What surprised Qing He was that Hou Xiao, a military officer, was no stranger to business affairs and could always offer unique insights.

Zhang Zheng was not surprised by this: "His family's business is doing well."

Hou Xiao laughed triumphantly: "You guys are playing with leftovers from our place. Several of the economic people under Shen Shanhai have contacts with us."

Qinghe is thoughtful.

It is of course good to have experience to learn from the mistakes of the previous vehicle and the overturn of the latter.

Qi Qi ate with his head depressed. He couldn't understand what they were saying, but it was no big deal. No matter how high Hou Xiao's background was, it didn't matter to him.It's just that Qing He's words made him feel a little weird, as if he was not an actor or a "trick" who couldn't make it to the stage, but some big shot.

Of course he would not be ignorant of Qing He's apparent identity as the marshal's godson, but...how should I put it, he never took it seriously, who would want to tell him the truth, this is worthy of his eyes? A "little actor" who is not Zhang Zheng is already a "big man" with status and status in front of outsiders—no, in fact, he is a big man.

"Lecture Hall?" He heard Hou Xiao's voice, "I won't go, let Qi Qi go with you, that's where he came from."

Zhang Zheng scolded with a smile, and asked, "I don't know where Mr. Hou is going?"

Hou Xiao glanced at Qinghe, and said embarrassingly, "I'll take a rest for a day, or I won't be able to protect you if I'm not mentally well."

Zhang Zheng teased, "You protect me? I'm afraid it's the other way around."

Hou Xiao suddenly became nervous, and he was relieved when he saw that Qinghe didn't say anything.

How could Zhang Zheng fail to see what he was thinking, and gave him a mocking smile.

Qinghe lowered her eyes, as if she didn't hear their conversation.

Under the table, Zhang Zheng was playing with his fingers.
