Respectfully

On October [-], Li Jinyan and Marshal Lou took the train from Tianjin to Beijing.

Before that, he had arranged for Lu Huaide and Liao Qiting to continue going south, accompanied by two intelligence officers and five soldiers.Knowing that Li Jinyan would divert to the capital and then return to Guanbei, Lu Huaide didn't say anything, Liao Qiting's expression was a little subtle, as if he wanted to laugh, but under Li Jinyan's threatening gaze, he forcibly suppressed the corners of his mouth.

Well, he doesn't smile.

But seeing Li Jinyan now, and remembering Li Sanshao, who talked and laughed happily with everyone in Tianjin's business circle, and was a top-notch businessman... the difference is really not ordinary.

Li Sanshao curled his lips. Facing Young Master Lou, basically no one can hold the top of Mount Tai without bowing his head, right?

The tiger's paw was photographed, and he didn't have to go out for a few days.Although it's nothing... But after all, he's not thick-skinned enough...

Capital

Marshal Lou's special train drove into the platform, and after the sound of the train's whistle, there was the sound of high-spirited military music.

Government officials waiting on the platform, representatives from all walks of life, progressive people, and young students burst into cheers when they saw Lou Xiao stepping out of the car in military uniform.

Lou Xiao stood still, knocked the heels of his boots, and gave a solemn military salute. The cameras kept ringing, and the cheers became more enthusiastic.

Get off at this time?Li Jinyan stood at the door of the train carriage, hesitating a little.Especially when I saw so many reporters carrying or holding cameras on the platform, I always felt that going down now was not a good idea.Marshal Naihelou did not move a single step after saluting. He stood still and looked sideways at the door of the carriage, obviously waiting for him.

Li Jinyan gritted his teeth, on purpose, definitely on purpose!

Everyone's eyes followed the movements of Young Marshal Lou to the door of the carriage.

When Li Jinyan in a long gown appeared in front of the crowd, there was a pause of two seconds of enthusiastic cheers, but the surrounding reporters seemed to have caught something, and rushed forward with excitement on their faces.

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, with excellent looks, he came to Beijing on the special train of the young marshal of the building, and shared the same carriage. If it wasn't an entourage, who else could it be?

The famous Li Jinyan and Li Sanshao!

Since the Japanese Concession in Tianjin was surrounded, there have been rumors about Li Jinyan.

Since Li Jinyan has always kept a low profile before, it is difficult to know his appearance. His photos are less than that of Lou Shaoshuai, and they have not even been published in the "Celebrity" he founded.

The descendants of the Li family, an ethnic businessman, established businesses, cultivated farms, and helped the poor. He was publicly elected as the head of the General Chamber of Commerce in the six northern provinces, and Lou Xiao's wife...

It is said that the influx of people from other provinces into the six northern provinces has a lot to do with Li Sanshao.

However, these are not as good as another rumor. It is said that the previous assassination incident on Akiyama Road was done by the Japanese. Marshal Lou sent troops to surround the Japanese Concession, not for any gangsters, but for revenge. tone!

There is quite a market for such rumors in the capital, and some tabloids even wrote reports on it vividly, with malicious intentions, and even described Li Jinyan as "Deng Tong" and "Dong Xian". As "Bao Si" and "Da Ji", it is obvious to attack Li Jinyan, but in fact it is alluding to Lou Xiao's insensitivity and provoking disputes between the two countries for his own selfishness.

It is self-evident who wrote such reports.

After all, Lou Xiao's identity is there, as are his previous achievements, and the temporary takeover of the Japanese Concession makes the people of the country feel proud. There are definitely very few Chinese newspapers that slander him like this.Li Jinyan also has a good reputation in the northern business community, and few people would slander him like this.

People in the country believe that since Li Jinyan married into the Lou family, he is a member of the Lou family.It was officially recorded in the Lou family's genealogy, and will enter the Lou family's ancestral grave after a hundred years.

Regardless of whether he is a man or a woman, this will not change at all, unless Lou Xiao divorces his wife and marries another. Of course, divorce is not called divorce now.Many new-style people no longer follow the ancient rituals when they get married, but choose to announce in newspapers and wear Western-style dresses to hold their weddings in churches.

That’s all for the family that envelops the Lord of God. Those who have elderly people and do not believe in religion will almost lose their breath when they see Western-style dresses that are either black or white, especially the white veil on the bride’s head. A wedding or a funeral?What kind of reason is it to let a foreigner be the officiant without worshiping the elders?

What's more, the "new school" people "love" each other. Men don't care about raising wives and children at home, and women don't care about their shame.Little did they know how innocent the woman they regarded as feudal vulgarity was.

The reporters all rushed forward, and Li Jinyan was taken aback. In the past, he didn't feel that when he was watching from the sidelines, but when he became the protagonist, he realized that being surrounded by cameras and reporters is really not something that makes people feel relaxed.

The soldiers in charge of security and the police wanted to step forward, but Young Marshal Lou first grabbed Li Jinyan's wrist and protected him by his side. When a reporter started asking questions loudly, he was the first to say, "My wife is not feeling well."

The implication is that if you don't accept interviews, you can rest when you are cool!

"Young Commander, Young Master Li, just ask a question..."

Everyone was unwilling to give up, but Young Marshal Lou turned a blind eye, protecting Li Jinyan and striding out.His face was expressionless and he was full of killing spirit, which made these people who had never been on the battlefield chill.

Reporters may dare to surround Li Jinyan, but they dare not surround Lou Xiao.It's really that Marshal Lou has a very bad reputation.

A Japanese consul, a Japanese army captain, hundreds of Japanese expatriates.

Did they all die and disappear in spontaneous riots?Did Marshal Lou's independent brigade really enter the concession at the request of Captain Hashimoto?Shooting is forced self-defense?

No one dared to vouch for it.

But what Marshal Lou said, the French can testify that even the Italians across the river are on his side, so what if the Japanese envoy jumps again?

Ruthless, absolutely, mercilessly, not giving anyone a chance to turn things around!

This is what most people think of Lou Xiao.Especially the Russians and Japanese who have been tricked by him one after another have a more personal experience of this.

Li Jinyan was held by Marshal Lou's wrist and walked out of the station with his shoulders protected.

The triangular scarf has been removed, but the gunshot wound on his arm has not healed. It is not nonsense that Master Lou said that he is unwell.But what about my wife... Anyway, I said it in front of Song Wu, and in fact there is really nothing to refute. Li Jinyan gritted his teeth and admitted it.Will this sentence appear in the capital newspaper tomorrow?

Li Jinyan decided not to read newspapers for the next week.

The vehicle for the Presidential Palace had already been waiting outside the station. Seeing Lou Xiao and Li Jinyan sitting in the car with the door closed, the reporters who had been following the station couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and regretful. It was not easy to interview Young Marshal Lou, let alone Li San few.Fortunately, the reporters are not stone-headed, and Young Marshal Lou's protection of Li Jinyan is enough for them to write a special book. Perhaps such news will make the sales of the newspaper better.

The better the sales of newspapers, the more salaries they will get, and the mouthpiece of society has to live.

The Japanese Concession in Tianjin has all been handed over to the Fifth Division of the Hebei Army for garrison and management. The officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade withdrew from Tianjin. The No. 20 Eighth Regiment entered the capital with a special train, and the remaining soldiers continued to go north and return to Guanbei.

The identity of President Lou Da is not what it used to be. In order to avoid more violent protests and backlash from the Japanese, he did not appear at the station.Mrs. Lou originally wanted to go, but was persuaded by Mrs. Zhan. First, there was Lou Ershao's little tail, and second, the Japanese had suffered such a big loss, so it was inevitable that they would jump over the wall in a hurry.It is still safe in the presidential palace, so that the children will not worry.Mrs. Lou is not a person who does not listen to advice, and after thinking about it carefully, it is indeed the truth.

After the Japanese Concession in Tianjin was temporarily taken over by the Chinese army, several Japanese Concessions in the south also showed signs of instability.Song Zhou is not a good person, and neither is his son Song Wu. What happened in Tianjin has completely exposed the weakness of the Japanese at this time. It would be too bad for them if they didn't take the opportunity to do something.

"Young Marshal, why do those two motorcycles look familiar to me?" Li Jinyan tugged on the sleeve of Marshal Lou, not because he was talking nonsense, but because the two motorcycles that opened the way in front of him really looked like the ones he bought from the United States.

"It doesn't look familiar." Young Marshal Lou held Li Jinyan's hand with his backhand, sliding his fingertips over the back of his hand, "Father said he wanted to leave."

Li Jinyan was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "Did you give me any money?"

Young Marshal Lou shook his head.

Li Jinyan: "..." Should he be glad that the sidecar motorcycle is still being developed and improved, and the president hasn't seen it?

He is willing to spend money for Young Marshal Lou, and for the President... well, he has to be willing if he is not willing.

The car stopped in front of the Presidential Palace, and the housekeeper waiting beside saw Young Marshal Lou and Li Jinyan getting out of the car, and immediately smiled and said, "Young Marshal, Young Master Yan, you are here, Madam has been talking about it."

The guard by the door stood at attention with his gun at the same time, and raised his right hand to his chest, "Salute!"

Marshal Lou returned the salute, while Li Jinyan nodded at them.

President Lou Da and Mrs. Lou were waiting in the living room. Eleven-month-old Lou Er Shao was obviously stronger, his arms were like lotus joints, and his big eyes were like black grapes.Seeing Lou Xiao and Li Jinyan walking in, the second young master sitting on the ground grinned and stretched out his hand to Li Jinyan: "Hug."

"Your brother can talk?" Li Jinyan greeted President Lou Da and Mrs. Lou, bent down and wanted to hug Lou Er Shao, completely forgetting that the injury on his arm was still not healed.

"Oh, you are hurt." Mrs. Lou hurriedly said, "This kid is very heavy now."

Li Jinyan stretched his hands halfway, and the other pair of big hands took a step ahead of him, supporting Lou Er Shao's armpits and lifting him up from the ground.Young Marshal Lou looked at his younger brother expressionlessly, the flower-like smile on Second Young Master Lou's face disappeared without a trace, and the Lou brothers turned their eyebrows coldly.

President Lou Da patted his bald head. Not only does his youngest son look down on his father...

Li Jinyan blinked, "Young commander?" He turned to look at Mrs. Lou again, is this all right?

"It's okay, let the brothers play." Mrs. Lou signaled Li Jinyan to sit over and looked at him carefully, "Which arm is the injury? Show me."

"Mom, it's okay, everything will be fine soon."

"That won't work, I have to see."

Helpless, Li Jinyan had no choice but to roll up his sleeves. Fortunately, the sleeves and inner garment of the gown were loose. Seeing the gauze wrapped around Li Jinyan's arms, Mrs. Lou frowned, "She said she was fine."

"It's really okay, the bullet just scratched the skin."

Li Jinyan put down his sleeves, and Mrs. Lou then asked him if he would continue to go south. No matter how important business is, you must heal your injuries first.

"He will return to Guanbei with me the day after tomorrow."

"So urgent?" Mrs. Lou said in surprise, "I originally wanted to stay with you for a few more days."

"There are a lot of things to do." Young Master Lou sat on the sofa, and Second Young Master Lou sat on his lap. The two brothers seemed to dislike each other, but they got along unexpectedly "harmoniously".

President Lou remained in the capital, and the military and political affairs of the six northern provinces were all in the hands of Young Marshal Lou. He suddenly left his job and took the troops to Tianjin, so the work he had accumulated would definitely not be short.I'm afraid I'll be busy for a few days when I go back this time.Mrs. Lou naturally understood that it was not good to continue to keep them. She just said that she had to make up for them in the capital for the past two days, especially Li Jinyan.

Tonic soup...can he not drink...

After dinner, Young Marshal Lou was called by President Lou Da to go to the study to discuss matters. Li Jinyan talked with Mrs. Lou for a while, and teased Lou Er Shao for a while, then he was sent back to his room to rest.

The Presidential Palace is a Western-style building, and most of the furniture is foreign goods, but the details have obvious Chinese characteristics.Compared with the traditional architectural pattern and furnishings of the Marshal's Mansion in Guanbei City, this place gave Li Jinyan a sense of novelty.

Perhaps this is the Republic of China in the era of the old and the new, old and new, modern, westernized, traditional... All kinds of contradictions and ideas are mixed and integrated. It is difficult to define whether it is good or bad, but it is enough to leave countless reveries for future generations. and nostalgia.

After washing, Li Jinyan was lying on the bed with his chin resting on his arm, his hair was not completely dry, but he didn't bother to wipe it, he just pulled the lamp by the bed again and again, the lampshade flickered on and off, and the little winged bird on the lamp base Angels also seem to come alive in the flickering light.

Gradually, Li Jinyan's vision became blurred and he yawned. He was indeed tired.

Getting used to the Chinese-style Babu bed, Li Jinyan is not used to sleeping on the Western-style soft bed.Obviously too sleepy to keep his eyes open, but he still couldn't sleep well, tossing and turning as if he had been dreaming.In a daze, the other side of the bed collapsed, a big warm hand covered his waist, and reached in along the hem of his coat.

"Young commander?"

Li Jinyan didn't open his eyes, and his voice was a little muffled.

"kindness."

A deep voice rang in his ears, and his arms were forceful, and his whole body was fished over.Leaning against the warm chest, the underwear was pulled down the shoulders, and the hot lips rubbed against the shoulders. Gradually, the light kiss turned into biting.Li Jinyan had to open his eyes, and pushed the man buried in his neck with one hand.

"Young commander, I want to sleep."

"You sleep."

"..." How could he sleep in this situation?Can you sleep? !

Before he could speak, Young Marshal Lou had already lifted the quilt to cover the two of them, his lips and big hands began to mess around with him, his shoulders, neck and waist were bitten sorely, but his spine felt numb.

Suddenly, Li Jinyan's eyes widened, "Young commander?!"

A big hand clasped his wrist and covered his own hand on his lips.

"..."

Li Jinyan could only cover his mouth as hard as he could, but the suppressed moan still flowed out from his lips.

In an instant, a white light seemed to flash before his eyes, and the strength of his limbs seemed to be exhausted, and the legs on Lou Xiao's shoulders were clasped tightly, and his body was still weak, but he had to bear another kind of violent force. terrible shock...

A good night's sleep was in vain. When Mrs. Lou saw Young Marshal Lou who appeared alone at the breakfast table, she couldn't help but glared at him, "Jin Yan still has injuries on his body, so you can't..."

"No."

Mrs. Lou: "..."

Was this son born to her? !

Guanbei City

Xiao Youde looked gloomy at the news sent back from Dalian Lushun.

Pan Guangxing disappeared suddenly. The intelligence officer in charge of connecting with him realized that the situation was not good, and immediately sent a message to Xiao Youde that something might have happened to Pan Guangxing.

"No suspicious person was found in several joint locations, and there should be no exposure."

Xiao Youde knew Pan Guangxing well. At least ten days had passed since he lost contact. Possibly, that is, he was dead.

"Dead."

In fact, from Xiao Youde's point of view, Pan Guangxing was not suitable to be a nail, but the situation at that time did not allow him to have other choices. The Japanese came to him and his family dragged him down, so he had to take this road .If it can be confirmed that he did not open his mouth until his death, his widow and two children will be properly arranged, and at least they will have no worries for life.This is also his pursuit of benevolence and benevolence.

Another thing that caught Xiao Youde's attention was that Pan Guangxing's brother-in-law disappeared almost at the same time as him.Getting this news was purely accidental. Pan Guangxing's wife reported to the police that her brother was missing, but did not say that Pan Guangxing was also missing.

She should know what Pan Guangxing was doing, maybe she thought Pan Guangxing was forced to hide out of need?

Xiao Youde shook his head, he must first confirm whether Pan Guangxing said anything before he died, and then contact his family.Was his brother-in-law related to his disappearance... It was a coincidence that the two disappeared at the same time.

"Come on."

In any case, several contact points in Lushun can no longer be used, and the nails arranged in Dalian must be more careful, otherwise the Japanese may find clues again.

No one who does intelligence is a fool, even the Japanese.If they were underestimated because of uprooting their intelligence forces in the six northern provinces before, they might capsize in the gutter.

When Xiao Youde started to rearrange the intelligence work in Lushun, Shan Ben and others were shocked by the name Pan Guangxing asked from his wife and brother.

There was no severe torture at all, but he was taken into the torture room and whipped, and he howled loudly, saying that he really didn't know anything.

Yamamoto and the others thought he was being stubborn, so they used the soldering iron again, and he finally said a name: "Hexia."

What he was talking about was actually a Japanese overseas Chinese who had visited Pan's house and had a good friendship with Pan Guangxing, but was mistaken by Yamamoto and others for Kashita Ichiro, the head of the intelligence department of the Kanto Governor's Mansion!

Now the misunderstanding is big.

"Yamamoto-kun, what should we do about this?"

"It must be kept secret for the time being!"

If Minister Hexia has contact with Chinese intelligence personnel, will there still be the same "traitor" in the Kanto Governor's Mansion, and will the Governor of Oshima be involved?After all, intelligence officers like them knew very well what happened when the troops from the six northern provinces attacked the South-Manchuria Railway. Lou Xiao was fully capable of reaching Dalian at that time, but he stopped suddenly.

Is there something they don't know about this?

Yamamoto shuddered, as if realizing that he had discovered a big secret, and he had to notify Doihara-kun immediately!No, Doihara is very appreciated by the governor of Oshima, it is inevitable... Yamamoto clenched his fists and made a decision in his heart.

All this is for the Great Japanese Empire!
