his robbery

When Huo Xiangzhen was murderous, she was quite tolerant towards Gu Chengxi, because it always seemed like a big battle was imminent, maybe revenge could be done in the next second; tolerance is also a kind of tactics, dormant and devious, all for the sake of victory.However, the situation changed suddenly, and the word "Peace" suddenly fell from the sky.As if he was choking on his chest suddenly, Huo Xiangzhen's eyes were red and his face was purple. At the same time, he had nothing to say, he couldn't find fault with anyone, and he didn't even have anyone to vent his anger on.

Gu Chengxi was suddenly so hateful that he could hardly be in the same villa with him.He planned to go down the mountain and return to Tai'an immediately, but it rained continuously again, making the mountain road dangerous and slippery.Huo Xiangzhen was so trapped that she couldn't move, and when she occasionally went out to see the sun, she would definitely meet Gu Chengxi face to face.Gu Chengxi stood with his hands in front of the door under the eaves, smiling at him through the white rain curtain.

The courtyard was clean, and the accumulated rainwater was also a clear stream, and the flowers and trees were nodding tremblingly in the wind and rain.Gu Chengxi thinks this kind of rain scene is very interesting - everything is moving, only Huo Xiangzhen on the opposite side is not moving.Huo Xiangzhen was also standing under the eaves of the house, dressed in trousers and a shirt, with a gray satin vest on top of the snow-white shirt.With one hand in his trouser pocket, he stood up straight, a manly gentleman.

The rain turned urgent, Gu Chengxi couldn't see his expression clearly, he just felt that he had been very angry these days, and he must still have a bad complexion at this moment.When he got angry, the entire east wing and even the courtyard became dark-clouded—but, Gu Chengxi thought again, maybe this was his own illusion, because the adjutants and guards of the Huo family should eat and drink, and not all kept silent ; The real dark cloud cover may only be yourself.

Holding a big umbrella, Gu Chengxi single-handedly crossed the courtyard and went to the East Wing to be a guest.

Huo Xiangzhen received him in the gloomy hall.Across a small Eight Immortals table, two people sat facing each other, with only a cup of tea in front of each.Because Huo Xiangzhen never said a word, Gu Chengxi took the initiative to speak, his voice was very soft, it was a sneaky whisper: "Jingheng, what's wrong with you? Did I offend you, or is there something else that makes you unhappy? "

Huo Xiangzhen picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put the teacup back in its original place.

Gu Chengxi smiled: "Ignore me?"

After hearing his words, Huo Xiangzhen felt that his voice was harsh and his tone was frivolous, which was simply not what a person should do.His right hand, which was resting on his thigh, moved, and he resisted not to throw the table over the opponent's head.With a lot of strength, he picked up the teacup and took another sip.The tea was not well brewed, and the bitterness overwhelmed the aroma, but bitterness has its benefits, at least it distracted him.Smacking the aftertaste of the tea, he tried his best to find something to think about: "The dog's tea is so fucking bitter!"

Concentrating on scolding the tea maker, his scowling eyes gradually relaxed and eased, but he was still serious.There was no one waiting in the room, so Gu Chengxi took out the cigarette case and opened it, and lit the fire by himself with a cigarette in his mouth.Looking at Huo Xiangzhen in front of him out of the corner of his eyes, he thought of a word called "Mian Sai Iron Plate". If someone else was drying the iron plate in front of him, he would have kicked it over.To show him face?dare!

But when dealing with Huo Xiangzhen, because he had ulterior motives, he could be very tolerant.He was smoking the cigarette with relish, and he didn't know what happened, but suddenly he salivated, drooling, but he wasn't hungry.Subconsciously took a sip of tea, he frowned, and thought in his heart: "It's so fucking bitter."

Huo Xiangzhen and Gu Chengxi drank tea while the other smoked. They sat opposite each other in silence for a long time.In the end, Huo Xiangzhen felt that she had calmed down, so she said: "I will go down the mountain when the sky clears."

Gu Chengxi looked up at him with a smile on his face: "Then I'll go with you."

Huo Xiangzhen didn't answer this sentence, and continued on his own: "I'm going back to Tai'an, you should go back to Jinan too!"

Gu Chengxi's heart moved, and he immediately had a new round of observation and observation, and said at the same time: "Okay, I will listen to you. Don't worry, I will do what I say. As long as you speak, I will absolutely cooperate and never Give you a bad check!"

Hearing this, Huo Xiangzhen felt angry again—let him say all the beautiful words, how benevolent and straightforward it sounds, but in fact, what it is, others don't know, but you know it yourself!Unable to bear it, he stood up, kept a distance from Gu Chengxi, and began to pace back and forth: "I have nothing to say at the moment, wait for the order from above!"

Gu Chengxi smiled and said: "Yes, you are right, let's wait and see. If the surname He treats us well, then we have nothing to say, and we can do whatever we want; if he wants to use us as a gun, then we But you can't fire him for nothing. Yes, you're right."

After hearing the word "we", Huo Xiangzhen almost felt sick, her heart was pounding in her chest.Turning to Gu Chengxi who was at the table, he managed to maintain a calm attitude: "I'm going to rest, you should go back too."

Gu Chengxi shook his head with a smile, stood up while shaking his head, and at the same time grumbled and said, "Okay, I'll go! I see, you still bother me. Sigh!"

It rained heavily for another day and night, and when the sun completely cleared, it was already the morning of the third day.

Huo Gu and the two of them led the guards and marched down the mountain in a hurry. They went their own way along the way, not talking to each other.After going down the mountain, Gu Chengxi changed cars and continued to Jinan.And Huo Xiangzhen returned to Tai'an County, and received two urgent calls as soon as he entered the house.The first was a military order from He Bogao, to transfer the Fourth Army into Henan; the second was a secret message from Xue Bing - He Bogao had just been promoted by the government to be the Minister of Military Orders, but he was dissatisfied with this position. , even refused to return to Nanjing to take up the post, and fought fiercely with Yan Xishan's faction, I don't know what his intention was.

Huo Xiangzhen took the two telegrams, compared them, read them again and again, and finally burned them to ashes with a fire, and then asked Li Kechen to find an excuse at random, and returned the call to perfunctory He Bogao.Li Kechen lived up to expectations, and immediately drafted a reply, which was lengthy and contained only one meaning: the Fourth Army was facing all kinds of difficulties, and the difficulties were so great that they had to stay in Shandong, and had nowhere else to go.

Naturally, such a reply is nonsense at first glance, but the wording and sentences are extremely polite, and it is a very sincere nonsense.After the call back was sent, Li Kechen was a little uneasy, holding a large folding fan with both hands horizontally, he sat in front of Huo Xiangzhen in an orderly manner, and asked softly: "Commander, if we do this... will Commander He be handed over to you?" excuse me?"

Huo Xiangzhen had just asked Andre to shave his hair, and Andre's attack was ruthless this time, resulting in almost nothing left on his head.After shaving, he looked at himself in the mirror and felt that he looked like a lama. Then, strangely, he went from a lama to the Bai family, and then turned his mind to Bai Mani.

Holding a large bowl of chilled sour plum soup, he gulped down a gulp, and then replied: "I was only in a cooperative relationship with him. Could it be that I really became his subordinate? We can't go to that place in Henan." What are you going to do after you go there? Go to war with Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army? That's really stupid!"

Li Kechen thought and nodded: "The commander is right. Even if we win, the benefits will not fall to us. There are many soldiers and generals in Henan, and we may not be able to take root there. Then... Let's stand still first, and then wait and see?"

Huo Xiangzhen had someone pour him another bowl of sour plum soup.Holding the big bowl and raising his head, he drank the sour plum soup in one gulp.Immediately afterwards, he turned to Li Kechen, who changed the subject without warning: "Bring me your set of belongings, and do a fortune telling for me."

Li Kechen immediately became interested, and went back to his residence to fetch yarrow and other things.Respectfully washing his hands and burning incense, he sat upright in front of Huo Xiangzhen and started divination.Huo Xiangzhen watched quietly, and at the end, he suddenly heard Li Kechen let out a long breath: "Qian Gua, changing the line to ninety-five, the flying dragon is in the sky, and it is beneficial to see you."

After the words fell, Li Kechen raised his head with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Commander. According to the hexagram, the Commander is going to be successful this time!"

Although Huo Xiangzhen had always been skeptical about the ability of the chief of staff, she couldn't help laughing when she heard this, thinking it was a good start.

Huo Xiangzhen didn't move, and Gu Chengxi from Jinan didn't move either.From the perspective of the outside world, these two first entered Shandong one after another, climbed Mount Tai one after another, and now pretend to be dead dogs one after another. If there is no trick between them, It's unbelievable.

Huo Xiangzhen admitted that Xue Bing was right - if he really started a war with Gu Chengxi in Shandong, then he would definitely end up in a lose-lose situation, what capital would he have to go to "Flying Dragon in the Sky" again?

On the other hand, Gu Chengxi dialed the small calculation in his heart, and felt that he should have made the right move in this move - for more than a year, he has been running around with the situation, always seems to be drifting with the tide, and he has spent a lot of energy , but the results are limited.This time, he almost sent someone to go to Henan again - if he really went to Henan, I'm afraid that after the beatings, he would still have no soldiers and no land, and he would continue to be ordered to go.How can you just mess around like this?Are you really using him as a soldier?

Huo and Gu stayed in Shandong, He Bogao had no choice but to arrest them one by one and go to Henan.At the time when the two sides were at a stalemate, the situation suddenly changed again.On a sweltering afternoon, Li Kechen was sweating profusely, and personally delivered a telegram to Huo Xiangzhen: "Commander, the imperial envoy is coming!"

Huo Xiangzhen was sweating in a daze, when he heard this, he immediately shivered: "Which aspect?"

Li Kechen sent the translated telegram directly to Huo Xiangzhen, panting heavily, and replied, "It's from Nanjing, it's from Nanjing!"

Huo Xiangzhen immediately picked up the telegram and browsed through it. After reading it, he suddenly got up and laughed abruptly——Jiang Zhongzheng's personal representative is about to arrive in Shandong.
