his robbery

When Huo Xiangzhen's telegram was sent to Jinan, Gu Chengxi had just sent someone to escort away Lian Yi's staff officer.The big and small actions of him and Huo Xiangzhen can't be hidden from others. Lian Yi is now in Henan, and he knows what he means, and at the same time, he doesn't take his actions seriously.And Gu Chengxi treated the Nanjing representative as a guest of honour, and he also warmly welcomed the company's staff. Neither side should offend him, making it unclear what his way is.

Outsiders can't figure it out, and he himself is also clueless.Sitting alone in a small study room, he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and he had a small balance in his mind, with north at one end and south at the other.I have been with Lian Yi for several years, and I have fought a lot of battles, and I have not lost my strength.Lian Yi eats meat and he gnaws bones. All in all, he is not at fault, nor is he biased.If we continue to go on with Lian Yi, the future is almost conceivable - it will probably be stable all the time, with little promise and little risk.

But it's hard to say, he thought again.The Huo family was also stable before, and the territory of a province was occupied by the father and passed on to his son. It was like a family, but what happened afterwards?In terms of strength alone, Huo Jingheng is not as good as herself now!

One has to be flexible. If the Nanjing government can open a road for oneself this time, he should brake and turn in time to avoid slipping his foot and spraining his foot on the wrong road.Huo Jingheng is already on good terms with the Nanjing government, and he is one step behind—one step slower, one step slower, and being a commander-in-chief is a deputy, there is really no cure!

Gu Chengxi went around in circles in the study room, stopped while walking, and looked down at his leather shoes.The leather shoes are shiny, and they were sent to Tianjin a while ago to buy them from high-end shoe stores.Cooperating with men's leather shoes is also the same every year, following the trend of Paris.The shoes look good, and the feet look good. Good shoes and good feet are just the best of the best.Gu Chengxi was preoccupied at first, but now for some reason, he was suddenly fascinated by his leather shoes, pulled his trousers up with both hands, bent his head with his head tilted, and looked back and forth, left and right.After reading it, he stomped his feet again, because he felt that he was decent from head to toe now, so he was a little happy for no reason.

At this moment, Pei Haisheng opened the door and came in and sent him a telegram.Putting the telegram on the table, he raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed a few times, then said in a hoarse voice: "Military seat, there is a telegram from Tai'an."

Gu Chengxi turned around lightly and nimbly, and walked quickly in front of Pei Haisheng.Raising his hand to touch the other person's forehead, he laughed softly and said, "You poor little one, you still have a fever."

Pei Haisheng lowered his head, his face flushed faintly: "It's nothing, just a cold."

Gu Chengxi raised his hand and pointed out the window: "Go and rest in my room, my room is quiet. It's cold now, don't forget to put on a quilt after going to bed—have you taken your medicine?"

A few days ago, Pei Haisheng was whipped by him with a belt for no reason. He was heartbroken at first, but the military seat is a dog. With good lungs, Pei Haisheng was at a loss as to what to do, and he didn't know whether he should hate or love him.

Gu Chengxi saw that Pei Haisheng had a stubborn and cold face, not obedient, so he personally led him into the bedroom.Urging him to take off his clothes and go to bed and lie down, Gu Chengxi stood by the bed, holding a small medicine bottle and looking at it carefully.The medicine bottle has a paper label with the usage and dosage printed on it.Gu Chengxi frowned, trying to read word by word; Pei Haisheng looked at him and knew that his culture was limited, and he had to put all his energy into reading newspapers, so seeing his serious expression at the moment, his heart was full. Just couldn't help but soften.

"Twice a day." He opened his mouth with a nasal voice: "I have eaten the morning one."

Gu Chengxi bent down and put the medicine bottle by the pillow, looked into his eyes again, and said solemnly: "One in the afternoon, take it when you wake up, remember?"

Pei Haisheng nodded: "I remember."

Gu Chengxi bent down and kissed him on the cheek, then turned and walked out.Pei Haisheng stared at his back, unwilling to blink.

Gu Chengxi went back to his study and read the translated telegram.After reading it, he muttered - Huo Xiangzhen told him to go to Tai'an immediately in a very urgent tone in the telegram.

"Come and go as soon as you call." He thought to himself: "Do you really treat me as his subordinate?"

Then he smiled, he knew that Huo Xiangzhen was so anxious to see him, he must have something to discuss, and he couldn't think of himself when he was fine, he just didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.Suddenly he remembered the company staff officer who had just been sent away by him. He raised his hand and touched his chin, thinking: "Could it be that the news has leaked?"

Then he shook his head—probably not, besides, it's okay even if it leaked, he, Commander Gu, can see whoever he wants, with this freedom and power, you Huo Jingheng can't control it!

Gu Chengxi ordered someone to send a call back to Tai'an, and then thought "I don't care", while excitedly ordering the guards, regardless of whether the time is suitable, they rushed to Tai'an by car.

Gu Chengxi set off in the afternoon and arrived in Tai'an when it was dark.He was full of energy, even though he had just gone through a long day of bumps, he was still able to smile at Huo Xiangzhen brightly: "Jingheng, I will arrive in the evening for your telegram at noon. Brother, is this speed interesting enough?"

Huo Xiangzhen sat on a hardwood chair and folded her arms around her chest.He didn't answer Gu Chengxi's words, he just stretched out his hand to the Taishi chair next to him: "Sit."

Gu Chengxi sat down with peace of mind, put one elbow on the armrest of the chair, and leaned towards Huo Xiangzhen affectionately: "Tell me, what's the big deal that made you so eager to see me."

Huo Xiangzhen raised a hand hidden under his arm, a piece of folded white paper was clamped between the index finger and middle finger, and the back of the paper faintly showed blue and black writing.Lifting his chin towards Gu Chengxi, he said, "Take a look."

Seeing that the white paper resembled letterhead, Gu Chengxi took it out of curiosity and unfolded it.Looking down at the writing on it, the smile on his face gradually cooled down—he knew everything in black and white, what a clear letter of appointment!

His eyes fixed on the three words "Jiang Zhongzheng" on the signature place, and Gu Chengxi slowly raised his head, his face was so pale that it was about to be covered with frost, and a smile froze on his lips: "Chairman Huo, you are amazing, Congratulations brother!"

Then he leaned forward and slapped the letter of appointment on Huo Xiangzhen's thigh: "You have such a great event, why don't you tell me in the telegram in advance, so that I can bring you some congratulatory gifts! "

After finishing speaking, he folded his five fingers together and grabbed Huo Xiangzhen's thigh.And Huo Xiangzhen looked at him calmly, still refusing to answer his words.Lowering his eyes and pushing away his hand, Huo Xiangzhen picked up the letter of appointment, folded it, and handed it back to Li Tianbao.

Then he wrapped his arms around his chest again, and looked up at Gu Chengxi: "Go back and pack up, and prepare to leave soon."

Gu Chengxi laughed with a "hum": "Let's go? Where are you going?"

Huo Xiangzhen stared at him fixedly, and at the same time replied: "Follow me and enter Anhui."

Gu Chengxi grinned, with an expression between laughing and furious: "Follow you? You are the provincial chairman, what am I?" Then he raised his voice out of control: "The letter of appointment says you Huo Xiangzhen It's not me, Gu Chengxi!"

Huo Xiangzhen patted the armrest of the chair, and stared: "You are mine! I'm going to Anhui, do you dare not?"

Gu Chengxi looked at him with his mouth open, and after watching for a while, he closed his mouth and let out a sigh of relief. This time he spoke, his voice was a little softer: "Jingheng, I am not angry at you, but the letter of appointment is there. It's none of my business!"

Huo Xiangzhen frowned faintly: "When we arrive in Anhui, I'll give you an officer."

Gu Chengxi rested his elbows on the armrests of the chair. He didn't sit upright, and looked a little hunched and shrugged.Facing Huo Xiangzhen with a wry smile, there was a sentence in his heart, but he was not ashamed to say it - I am dignified, Commander Gu, use you as my officer?That official of yours doesn't know how he got it!

Can you think about saying this, because he can't bear it.He was indeed eager to try and always wanted to stimulate Huo Xiangzhen, but the little thorn was happy, but the big thorn was sad; and Huo Xiangzhen was a very shameless person, and he hurt him with his own words. Maybe it was just a joke, but he would really get angry.Becoming the provincial chairman is a happy event after all, so let him have fun for the time being, even though his eyes are red with jealousy, and his anger goes straight to Tianlinggai.

"You give me an official?" He asked with a sneer, "You have the final say?"

Huo Xiangzhen leaned back, obviously impatient: "As the chairman of a province, why don't I count what I say?"

Gu Chengxi looked at his furious eyebrows, but couldn't help but feel a little nonsense: "I just ask, can't I ask? Look at you, you are anxious when you ask, and you don't have the restraint of a provincial chairman at all; besides, you are better than me. Two years older, as an elder brother, how can you always play lion roar at the younger brother?"

After the words fell, he made himself laugh first, but unfortunately he was the only one laughing.Huo Xiangzhen looked at him thoughtfully, not praising him.

So he ended the scene by himself in a desolate manner. After the smile on his face faded, he heard Huo Xiangzhen say: "Gu Chengxi."

Immediately raised his head to face him, Gu Chengxi tilted his face slightly, and made a gesture of listening.

Huo Xiangzhen lowered his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Anhui is a big place, and I can't control it alone, so I ask you to go with me, and we both try to occupy it. At that time, you and I will form a family, and each will occupy half of the territory." That’s okay, anyway, it’s better than messing around like this in Shandong.”

Gu Chengxi was silent, and after a while, he said softly: "I want to form a family with you."

Huo Xiangzhen immediately raised her head and scolded him: "You are serious!"

Gu Chengxi slumped in the grand teacher's chair, and his tired face came out again: "It's quite serious, I'm not joking."

Huo Xiangzhen withdrew his gaze, and after a moment of silence, he lowered his head slightly, as if he was tired: "It's better to have half and half, I don't like you, sooner or later something will happen to the combined family."

Gu Chengxi bowed, dragged the chair and moved towards him, then sat down again, he raised his foot in a state of sitting, and kicked Huo Xiangzhen's calf: "Hey, are you planning to treat me as a Let me go to Anhui to help you fight the war? You can’t become the provincial chairman with a letter of appointment, there are local snakes everywhere, and there must be soldiers from Anhui on the border of Anhui, right?”

After the words fell, he only heard a loud "boom", and at the same time he took off from the ground, and fell on his back on the green brick floor.With his hands behind his back covering the tailbone that hit the ground first, he struggled to look up, and then he realized that he was kicked by Huo Xiangzhen together with the Taishi Chair, and the Taishi Chair flew farther than him, almost leaving the room Door.

Humming and sitting up, there was a smile on his face instead.Huo Xiangzhen was angry, perhaps because he was wronged, and he had good intentions, but he said that he had bad intentions.In fact, he also knew that Huo Xiangzhen was not a person who hid traitors, but he had to be on guard against others, and if there were some things that should be beaten, they should be beaten.

He rested his hands on the ground, crookedly rubbing his tailbone.Seeing that he was sitting still, Huo Xiangzhen said, "Get up."

Gu Chengxi replied: "You let others go out, I have something to tell you."

Huo Xiangzhen raised his hand and waved lightly, Li Tianbao and others who were standing by the side really withdrew immediately.Looking at Gu Chengxi this time, he sat upright and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Gu Chengxi stretched out a hand to him: "Pull me up!"

Huo Xiangzhen glared: "I asked what you wanted to say, what are you talking about with me?"

Gu Chengxi smiled and said: "This is what I want to say - pull me up! Get up, so we can continue talking about business."

Huo Xiangzhen frowned and stood up, and at the same time gritted her teeth and said angrily in a low voice: "Look at your scoundrel!"

Gu Chengxi smiled and said nothing.Huo Xiangzhen strode up to him, and stretched out a hand condescendingly.He looked up, and saw Huo Xiangzhen leaning over to him, with a mighty and awe-inspiring look on his face, even full of anger.

Grasping Huo Xiangzhen's hand with one hand, and putting the other hand on Huo Xiangzhen's calf, Gu Chengxi felt like a vine, winding upwards from Huo Xiangzhen's feet - it was a vine, not a snake, because the roots went ten thousand miles underground , the foundation is solid and unshakable.The arms stretched longer and longer, longer and softer, softer and tougher, wrapping around Huo Xiangzhen's thighs and waist, and finally his chest was pressed against his chest, his breath mixed with his breath, he smiled half-smile, his eyes sparkled.

No one has to accommodate anyone, they can look at each other at the same level.The smile on Gu Chengxi's face became stronger and stronger—it's not a great man like himself, and he can't control a big guy like Huo Xiangzhen, this is really a match made in heaven!

"I'll go to Anhui with you." He put aside all his worries, and whispered softly, "Don't talk about Anhui, I will go with you in the same way. Let's join hands and fight the world!"

Huo Xiangzhen raised her hand and grabbed his neckline, not letting him approach, let alone leaving.With straight eyes, he kept looking into Gu Chengxi's eyes: "Remember what you said. Longtan and Tiger's Den, follow me in the same way!"

Gu Chengxi suddenly got a little excited: "I keep my word, and this time I'm going to follow you. Tell me, when will we start?"

Huo Xiangzhen let him go slowly: "The sooner the better. I don't have a clue about the situation over there now, so we have to take a step ahead and make arrangements in advance so that the army will not be lost after entering Anhui. When we arrive in Anhui, you will take care of your soldiers, and I will take care of my soldiers.”

Then, he looked at Gu Chengxi again: "Let go."

Gu Chengxi let go of his hand, then lowered his head and smiled again - at that moment just now, he was really emotional, he really wanted to fight side by side with Huo Xiangzhen!

Gu Chengxi stayed in Tai'an for one night, and set off for Jinan the next morning.After arriving home, he gathered his think tank and repeated Huo Xiangzhen's meaning.After hearing this, everyone's reaction was similar to that of Gu Chengxi last night. They were all disappointed at first, and then excited.Chief of Staff Wang twirled the tip of his beard, and said very cautiously: "If we go to Anhui this time, Huo Jingheng's side, I don't think we need to be afraid. If we really want to fight, he may not be our opponent."

Gu Chengxi's confidential secretary, Zhao Liangwu, was curled up at the corner of the table.Resting his chin with one hand, he said softly with a smile, "Anhui is considered rich."

Chief of Staff Wang said again: "I really have to find a place to raise wages. The monthly expenses are hundreds of thousands. It's not enough to just go in and out."

Gu Chengxi put on a nonchalant attitude: "Where there is land and people are paid, that's not a problem. The situation in Shandong is more complicated. I think we have no chance to become kings if we stay. Now that we have beaten the Nanjing government, Qi, let's follow the order! Huo Jingheng said, allow me to be the commander-in-chief of the province's security. Of course, I don't care about such an official position, but it's not a long-term solution to spend so much time in Shandong. Huo Jingheng wants a name , I want to benefit, let's do it with a partner first!"

Gu Chengxi's soldiers are all stationed in the northern Shandong area, and it is not an easy task to mobilize all of them.He brought a security team with him, and Gu Chengxi went to Tai'an first. Before leaving, he smiled at Pei Haisheng who was bedridden: "There is no way, you are so sick that you can't get off the ground, it's not that I didn't take it with you on purpose." you."

Pei Haisheng took medicine for several days, but he didn't take it well, so he could only lie down in a daze.Hearing Gu Chengxi's words at this moment, he was anxious and let out a series of panting coughs.Seeing this, Gu Chengxi bent down and tucked the quilt for him: "You take care of him obediently, and follow the staff office when the time comes. Let's see you in Huaining, okay?"

Pei Haisheng had no choice but to reply in a dying voice: "Okay."

When Gu Chengxi went to Tai'an, Huo Xiangzhen's army was stationed along the railway line, so under the leadership of Sun Wenxiong, they had already boarded the tank trucks bound for Anhui.

Xue Bing stayed in Tai'an and temporarily resumed his old position as head of the guard.Standing behind Huo Xiangzhen, he bent down and asked in a low voice: "Commander, otherwise, you might as well do it right here!"

Huo Xiangzhen sat on the grand teacher's chair and became a rock: "No, this place is still too close to Jinan. Once something changes, we will easily get stuck in Shandong and be entangled by Gu Jun."

As soon as the words fell, Li Kechen in military uniform walked in quickly: "Report to the commander, the special train is ready."

Before Huo Xiangzhen could answer, Li Tianbao also shouted outside the door: "Report to Commander, Commander Gu's car team is about to enter the county town!"

When Huo Xiangzhen heard this, she jumped up.After taking the military cap from Xue Bing and putting it on, he walked towards the door with his head held high and his chest held high, intending to lead Gu Chengxi directly to the train station.
