his robbery

After Huo Xiangzhen arrived in Huaining, the capital of Anhui Province, she did two things. The first was to fight the war, and the second was to raise wages.The former chairman of the Anhui Provincial Government has been arrested by the Central Army and sent to Nanjing to be imprisoned. The chairman cannot be arrested and imprisoned with the chairman's team. Therefore, since Huo Xiangzhen's Fourth Army arrived in Anhui, it has entered a state of fighting ——I don’t fight big battles, but there is a small disturbance every three days and a big disturbance every five days. The army from other provinces and the army from this province can never coexist peacefully.

Wars are unavoidable, and the task of raising wages is even more important. While fighting, Huo Xiangzhen recruited the scattered teams that he had conquered; when there were too many people, not counting other expenses, the food he ate first would double. Doubled, without a salary of 50 million a month, it is almost impossible to sustain it.Fortunately, while the defeated army was incorporated, the weapons of the defeated army were also incorporated along the way, so a lot of guns and ammunition were obtained for nothing.

Huo Xiangzhen had no plans to stay in Anhui for a long time, neither did he, nor did Xue Bing and others.In all fairness, Anhui is by no means bad, and it is by no means unstoppable; but for Huo Xiangzhen, the center of the world is Beiping, and if he wants to play, he goes to Tianjin.Apart from Pingjin, going anywhere seems to be an expedient measure, even if it is going to Nanjing and Shanghai, he is equally unwilling.And after arriving in Anhui, he thought about it for himself, and felt that the Nanjing government didn't seem to have the intention of assigning Anhui to him forever-in the current situation, the Nanjing government is just pushing the boat, after all, he is on the side of the central government. It is better to give Anhui to him for temporary management than to others, and he has soldiers and strength to control Anhui; at the same time, he is appeased - he wants a province, and he is really given a province. Territory, what a benevolence.

Huo Xiangzhen saw through the cause and effect of this place, so she didn't interfere with the government affairs of the whole province, and only focused on expanding the army.The provincial government has complete departments and is running in an orderly manner. He can't afford to step in and start another one. If it doesn't work out, it will cause chaos and harm the place.

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Although Huo Xiangzhen has internal worries, she has no external troubles.Gu Chengxi's army seems to have been stabbed, frozen in the Shandong and Jiangsu areas, because there is no commander in the army, but the subordinate generals are very loyal and have no intention of defecting, so it is neither advancing nor retreating.Chief of Staff Wang was so frantic that he came several times to negotiate with Huo Xiangzhen—although Gu Jun was loyal, no one in the team would accept anyone, especially among them were a few old men who made a fortune from bandits, who were begging for a living in Yimeng Mountain. , that's so rude to the point where people don't understand the language, the whole army, only Gu Chengxi can communicate with them by yelling and cursing.Gu Chengxi will never come back, and these uncles alone are too much for Chief of Staff Wang - the generals will not turn against each other, but internal strife may occur at any time.It's really infighting, who can suppress it?

Chief of Staff Wang was originally embarrassed to see Huo Xiangzhen, but now he couldn't see him anymore, so he bit the bullet and blushed, and ran to Huaining himself, wanting to take a look at Gu Chengxi.Huo Xiangzhen is easy to talk to, if he wants to see, let him see.So Chief of Staff Wang took Zhao Liangwu out of Huaining in a car under the leadership of a group of soldiers.After bumping for a long time, the car entered a village.Simple roads have been built inside and outside the village, but there are many trenches and checkpoints, and cars are not allowed to go deep at all.So Chief of Staff Wang and others got out of the car. They were first interrogated and then body-searched. It was not until they saw that they were really unarmed that an officer led them through the checkpoint.

Walking inward along the road for about one mile, Chief of Staff Wang saw a small house surrounded by mountains and rivers. If you come here in midsummer, the scenery here is beautiful, and it is really a scenic spot; It's late autumn now, and it looks like a cold and desolate place.There are guards inside and outside the house, even people standing on the roof.Chief of Staff Wang and Zhao Liangwu followed the officers into the gate and walked in, and finally saw Gu Chengxi in the house.

Gu Chengxi has lived in this house for more than a month. When Chief of Staff Wang entered the door, he was wearing a jacket, sitting cross-legged on the bed in a daze.He met Chief of Staff Wang fiercely, as if he had been stabbed by a needle, his half-closed eyes immediately opened round, and light came out from the pupils.But seeing Huo Jun's officer in a blink of an eye, he lowered his eyes and covered most of the light again.

He calmly talked to Chief of Staff Wang for a few words, and in front of the officers, he told Chief of Staff Wang: "Tell those guys to be honest with me, and listen—listen to Chairman Huo. We are the same as Chairman Huo. Family, Chairman Huo is not bad to me now, when the situation eases in the future, when I go back, remember?"

Chief of Staff Wang nodded again and again: "Yes, military seat, I remember."

Gu Chengxi raised his eyes and looked at Chief of Staff Wang, wishing that words would blossom out of his eyes: "You should go back, too. If I'm not here, you should take care of the family affairs. When I go back in the future, let's talk about it." Reward for meritorious deeds."

Chief of Staff Wang could only nod his head, and he dared not say a single extra word, for fear that if he talked too much this time, he would never want to see Gu Chengxi again next time.Seeing that Gu Chengxi was healthy and emotionally stable, he relaxed a little and took Zhao Liangwu away.

As soon as Chief of Staff Wang and Zhao Liangwu left, Gu Chengxi got out of bed.With his hands tucked into his sleeves, his body was cold, his heart was hot, and he was shivering like malaria.He was dying in a hurry, his future, his life, his soldiers—he was dying in a hurry!

He wished he could grow a pair of wings, and fly back to Shandong by smashing the glass window with his head, bleeding all over his head and face.But he had no wings, and it was useless to have them, the guards on the roof could have knocked him down with a single shot.I have never experienced such a rough ordeal before. Compared with this time, all the dangerous injuries I have suffered before are not worth mentioning.

Pulling the subordinate officers to line up in his heart, he considered and thought one by one.This one is reliable, that one is unreliable, this one is sloppy, that one has a different heart... The more you think about it, the more chaotic, the more chaotic you think, it's a huge and complicated one-sided assessment. Gu Chengxi raised his hand to support the wall, and pointed his fingers. Picking at the cement walls until the nails turned white.

He was afraid that he was already the commander of the army, so he couldn't be the commander of the army!

Chief of Staff Wang listened to Gu Chengxi's words, and after he went back, he passed on an order to all the division commanders to drive the army to Anhui——when they arrived in Anhui, they helped Huo Xiangzhen fight local snakes.You can pretend to fight, but you have to fight, because now the commander is like a bird, held in Huo Xiangzhen's hand.If Huo Xiangzhen exerted a little force, the commander would be in danger of breaking bones; if Huo Xiangzhen exerted more force, the commander's intestines might flow out.

Although Gu Chengxi is under house arrest, he is not isolated from the outside world, and can even communicate with the outside world occasionally; if he wants, the officer in charge of guarding will provide him with the latest newspapers.This afternoon, he was sitting on the bed hugging the quilt, hunched over and reading the newspaper.The weather is getting colder and colder, and it's not the same way as in the north.The cold in Beiping is crunchy and crisp. In the middle of winter, it directly freezes people to death; the cold in southwestern Anhui is a needle hidden in the cotton, which consumes people's heat little by little, and freezes people completely. .In Beiping, because they are afraid of being frozen to death, everyone knows to build a small stove for themselves; while in Southwest Anhui, Gu Chengxi has not seen a single spark of fire in the house so far.

Gu Chengxi has always been strong and strong, this is the first time that he is also afraid of the cold. After being cold for a long time, his whole body is sore, and his mind is also dizzy. Going into my head, I can't understand the meaning of that sentence.Just when he was suffering time, the sound of neat footsteps suddenly sounded outside the window, making his hands tremble.Turning his head sharply and looking out the window, he saw a group of soldiers lined up in two rows, creating a straight road in front of the courtyard gate, and a black car parked at the end of the road.As soon as the car door opened, Huo Xiangzhen leaned forward and stepped down.

This is not the first time Huo Xiangzhen has come here, but through a layer of glass windows, the muscles on Gu Chengxi's face twitched, as if seeing a ghost, the muscles and bones all over his body twisted and tightened together.Qi and blood rushed to his throat, he wished he could squirt out a mouthful of blood, it would change the color of the world!

The house consists of three connected rooms, with the central one opening the door to the outside.After Huo Xiangzhen entered the door, he turned a corner and walked straight into the bedroom.He hadn't come for half a month. He looked on the bed and saw Gu Chengxi huddled in the cotton-padded jacket and quilt. His face was thin and pale, and his hair was long. A few bits of cotton wool were also stuck.

An orderly came in with a chair, and Li Tianbao also rushed to Huo Xiangzhen's back and untied the cloak on him.Huo Xiangzhen sat down facing Gu Chengxi, and put her knees on the iron bed frame.Putting his hands on his thighs, he asked, "How are you doing?"

Gu Chengxi was still cowering, tilted his head and opened his eyes wide to look at him, the eyes were sunken in the eye sockets, looking dark: "Cold."

Huo Xiangzhen looked around: "Have someone install a foreign stove here for you."

Then, as if dealing with a pile of official documents, he asked again in a businesslike manner: "How is the food?"

Gu Chengxi sniffled, his eyeballs were faintly red - now he wants to swallow Huo Xiangzhen alive!

But when he answered, his tone was calm: "It's not very good, it's rough."

Huo Xiangzhen asked, "Can I eat meat?"

Gu Chengxi replied: "I can eat one meal a day."

Huo Xiangzhen nodded, then turned to Li Tianbao and said, "Go to the kitchen and take care of it."

Holding the cloak in his arms, Li Tianbao took orders and left immediately.This time there was no one else in the bedroom, Gu Chengxi tentatively moved towards Huo Xiangzhen, and at the same time, Huo Xiangzhen asked himself: "If you have other requests, you can ask them together. Except for freedom, I can't give you the rest. Everything is negotiable."

Gu Chengxi looked at him in silence for a moment, his eyes became more and more red.Suddenly leaping forward, he suddenly put his arms around Huo Xiangzhen's waist.Huo Xiangzhen lowered her head unmoved, seeing him bury her face in her chest.

The two sides remained motionless for a moment, and Gu Chengxi choked up without warning, actually crying.

With his arms tightly around Huo Xiangzhen's waist, he cried and said: "Jingheng, please don't punish me like this... From a regiment back then to an army now... I have been... these years... "

He seemed to be really excited, the heat of tears almost drenched Huo Xiangzhen's thin woolen military uniform, he choked his breath in his chest, and forced out the following words: "I have not been easy all these years!"

Taking a long breath, he continued to sob: "The army is my life, I know I'm guilty, I'm sorry for you, but Jingheng, I'm not guilty of death, you can't take my life—or you Just give me a shot, you give me a good time, don't torture me with such a blunt knife. It's been more than two months...my heart is like a fire..."

At this point, he stopped talking.It was frozen through, but now a layer of hot sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.He knew that it was useless to say these words, but it didn't take much effort to say them, besides, he was really suffocated, so even if Huo Xiangzhen couldn't be moved by talking and crying, it would be good to vent completely .

Huo Xiangzhen sat like a stone wall, without emotion or temperature, her chest was even cold and hard.Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.Of course, it wasn't purely for personal revenge, military affairs came first, he just settled the private affairs smoothly.

Gu Chengxi was still crying vaguely, and Du Juan confessed his feelings to him like crying blood.He sat upright and listened out of a trace of pity for the superior.Just listen, don't take it to heart.Gu Chengxi is a more dangerous person than Lian Yi. Although Lian Yi is cunning and fickle, he always seems to have a rule to follow, while Gu Chengxi—he thinks, Gu Chengxi is unique and is a bad guy in another way.Even using this kind of person is risky, so use it when you can use it, and eliminate him if you can't use it.

Gu Chengxi embraced the stone-like Huo Xiangzhen, and wept bitterly for a long time, following Liu Bei's example.At the end of crying, he had cried enough, closed his eyes and opened his mouth, he leaned against Huo Xiangzhen, panting slowly.Still too naive, still too romantic, he thought, ever since Huo Xiangzhen heard the word "romantic", he fell in love with this word, he likes romance and is willing to be romantic, but unfortunately there is only one person in the world who is qualified to enjoy him romantic; and this object is too unromantic.It's not his bosom friend, and there's no possibility of becoming his bosom friend, and it's impossible to kill her, it's just so unromantic.

I was so reckless and impulsive, I shouldn't have followed Huo Xiangzhen on the train alone.I didn't expect that Huo Xiangzhen would play tricks on her. In fact, thinking about the past, it's not that Huo Xiangzhen didn't do this before, but the victim was not herself.He dared to do anything to Lian Yi, let alone himself?I am not as good as Lian Yi in every aspect - I am impulsive, this time I am really impulsive!

Gu Chengxi knew he was wrong, although the knowledge in his heart was not the same as the knowledge in his mouth crying.There is no way, if he suffers from a fall, he learns his wisdom. If he can live and recover his freedom, this adventure will become a good lesson—if he can survive and recover his freedom.

Huo Xiangzhen let him hold her, without moving.Of course, there is no need to accommodate Gu Chengxi anymore, but Huo Xiangzhen has no habit of beating up dogs who are in the water.When dealing with Gu Chengxi, he must be killed if he should be killed. If he can't be killed, he came as an army commander, and he has to continue to support him according to the treatment of an army commander.Freezing him, starving him and abusing him are all acts of a villain and cannot be done.

Gu Chengxi let go, and retreated into the bed comfortably and tiredly.And Huo Xiangzhen looked at him like a doctor, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong with his body and his emotions were not broken, she was relieved and got up to leave.

Gu Chengxi grabbed his sleeve: "When are you coming?"

Huo Xiangzhen bent down and pulled his hand away: "If you have something to do, you can send me a letter."

Then he turned around and walked out boldly.Gu Chengxi looked at his back, thinking that if he didn't love this person, it would be fine, and he would be invincible.

Gu Chengxi, who was under house arrest, once again changed from a "person" to a "thing" in Huo Xiangzhen's eyes.When dealing with people, he is often helpless; when dealing with things, his thinking is very clear.

Sitting in the car refreshed, surrounded by the guards, he drove back to the city at lightning speed.
