his robbery

Chapter 43

If Deputy Chief Tan did not die, the Prime Minister would not obediently listen to Huo Xiangzhen. (Please remember, but Deputy Chief Tan died, the Prime Minister had no choice but to attach himself to the winner. The President also had no objection, because he himself was in turmoil, and it was already difficult to protect. If the people below are more chaotic, the people above will have the opportunity to reorganize.

Since the president and the prime minister silently agreed, Deputy Chief Tan, who had died, had no right to speak, so he had to die as a sin.The news spread all over the country that day, and Wan Guoqiang was naturally filled with righteous indignation, and Lian Yi who returned to the base camp was also taken aback.Before Lian Yi could get over his shock, An Rushan attacked him without warning.

In terms of marching and fighting skills, An Rushan was no better than Lian Yi; however, he was prepared to fight, and Lian Yi was caught off guard.An Rushan took such an advantage, he gained the upper hand as soon as he started the fight.At the same time, Baoding also sent a regiment to fire at the company's garrison in Langfang.

Huo Xiangzhen was in Beijing, and because he knew the battle situation outside, he was very calm.Soaking in his Louis XIV-style marble pool, he was dimly lost in the steam that filled the room.Ma Congrong was wearing a shirt and shorts, squatting barefoot on the shore, rubbing his back with a towel wrapped around his palm, gnashing his teeth: "Master, this trick is really powerful. I was confused from beginning to end, and I didn't understand it until today—Master." Raise your arms!"

Huo Xiangzhen turned around in the water, stretched out an arm towards him, and at the same time said in a low voice, "I don't understand fart!"

Ma Congrong shook his hand and rubbed it upwards from the back of his hand: "What about Gu Chengxi?" He smiled at Huo Xiangzhen while trying his best: "After this big event is done, the one who should be rewarded will be rewarded, and the one who should be punished will be punished. What should he do? If he was talking about rewards, he didn't catch Lian Yi; if he was talking about punishments, Lian Yi is not something ordinary people would dare to touch. His trip was really risky."

Huo Xiangzhen felt comfortable after being rubbed by him, and her body tended to soften, but her words were still firm: "He is the one who wants to be the head of the regiment! He can't handle these things well, why should I let him be the head of the regiment?"

Ma Congrong smiled: "Then you can give him a correct sentence, he is still scared - change his arm."

Huo Xiangzhen frowned.In this game of chess, what Gu Chengxi played was just a pawn.The reason why Gu Chengxi was chosen was because he was clever and courageous, and he was still a newcomer.Lian Yi has led soldiers all his life, and his network of relationships is intertwined and spreads everywhere in the army.If you send a flexible person, the flexible person may collude with Lian Yi; if you send an honest person, such as Adjutant Zhao, that would be even worse.An honest person will never be Lian Yi's opponent, maybe he can't even enter the gate of his house.

Gu Chengxi is his savior and also his subordinate.The bounden duty of a soldier is to obey orders, so Huo Xiangzhen thinks that she doesn't need to give him "a word of truth".As for taking risks—if you are afraid of taking risks, don't be a soldier, and don't delay the regiment you have allocated to him.The Salt Bureau, the Transportation Bureau, and the Fat Yamen have plenty, and he can live a good life if he is safe and sound.

Naked out of the water, Huo Xiangzhen lay on the edge of the pool, letting Ma Congrong rub him until his whole body turned red.With his forearm resting on his head, he looked at his naked body in the mirror.After watching for a while, he said seriously, "Like a shrimp!"

Ma Congrong was so tired that he was sweating: "Shrimp? Why does it look like a shrimp?"

Huo Xiangzhen explained blankly: "Red."

Ma Congrong chuckled.Huo Xiangzhen can hardly gossip, and most people still don't understand what she says occasionally.

Because he still couldn't wait for "one correct sentence", Gu Chengxi sat at home in panic, always confused.He knew that Huo Xiangzhen was very strict in running the army, and his title as regiment commander hadn't been warmed up yet, so it would be a pity to lose it because of this.However, after a few days, the world was peaceful; his shrunken courage gradually returned to its previous size, so he showed his head again eager to try.

He went out and asked acquaintances, he really wanted to know how Lian Yi escaped from the capital.His acquaintance told him: "Riding away on horseback."

Hearing this answer, Gu Chengxi wished he could bite an acquaintance: "I know he can't walk out, I'm asking if he has exchanged fire with our people in the city?"

The acquaintance shook his head at him: "It seems that there is not."

Gu Chengxi stopped asking, went home and closed the door to think carefully.According to the usual practice, as an officer, not only did he fail to complete the task, but he also cost dozens of lives. In any case, he could not pass the test in such a silent way—unless he had actually completed the task.

Thinking of this, Gu Chengxi raised his hand and touched his chin, and began to curse in his heart: "Good luck, since you have such thoughts, you should have told me earlier! Fortunately, I was careful in advance. If I am a single-minded , At that time, I was chasing Lian Yi and refused to let go, and he was shot halfway? Damn, safe, why are you using me as a death squad?"

He raised his hand and patted the table. The table was solid and the top was bare.Taking advantage of the situation, he turned his head to look at the table, and then at the good furniture in the room. He was a little angry because Huo Xiangzhen treated him too equally.Although An Rushan also wanted to go to the front line against the hail of bullets, he always felt that he should be different in Huo Xiangzhen's heart.If I didn't hide fast enough that day, and I really died under Lian Yi's gun, wouldn't this full of good furniture, this small courtyard full of green bricks, be left to that bastard Xiao Lin to enjoy?

The more Gu Chengxi thought about it, the more fascinated he became, from "a little angry" to "extremely annoyed".In the end, he raised a finger to the front, and with a tiger face, he spoke to the void like a threat: "You wait—you wait!"

Then in the morning of the next day, he dressed himself neatly and ran to the Huo Mansion to find Bai Mani again.

Seeing him coming, Bai Mani was very happy: "Xiao Gu, I thought you had returned to Baoding!"

Gu Chengxi smiled and said, "Even if I really go back to Baoding, I have to tell you in advance! To tell you the truth, a few days ago, the commander asked me to do something. Not only did I fail, but I almost died. I was a little scared , I have never dared to come to the door to find you."

After saying this for a while, when the door opened, it was Huo Xiangzhen who walked in.Huo Xiangzhen was dressed in military uniform, obviously just came back from the outside, holding another glass bowl in his hand.When Gu Chengxi saw him, he pretended nothing had happened, smiling and wanting to back off.But Huo Xiangzhen stood upright at the door, not intending to let him go: "When will you take this leave? I don't set a time limit for you, so you plan to live in Beijing forever?"

Then he turned around and walked to the table by the window, and put down the glass bowl in his hand: "Eat cheese."

Bai Mani shook the wheelchair and moved to the table, and looked at the glass bowl: "Brother, don't let Xiao Gu go. Can't you give him an errand that doesn't leave Beijing? Besides, I don't want to eat cheese."

There was no smile on Huo Xiangzhen's face, but there was an obvious softness in his tone: "I had to eat yesterday, but I won't eat today!"

Then he turned and sat down at the table.Seeing that he wanted to stay for a long time, Gu Chengxi knew that he wanted to resign, but Huo Xiangzhen still refused to let him go: "You stay with you. I will go to Tianjin in a while, and I won't be here soon!"

Gu Chengxi secretly grinned at Bai Mani, and then stood upright.Bai Mani also winked at him, knowing that like everyone else, he was afraid of Big Brother.The eldest brother sat guarding a bowl of cheese, but sincerely wanted to accompany him, so although it looked unpopular, Bai Mani still accepted the eldest brother's affection.

The three of them formed a three-legged confrontation in the room, one was redundant to anyone, but it was not too much to accommodate.After a long time, Huo Xiangzhen suddenly took out the pocket watch from his breast pocket.He opened the cover of the watch to check the time, then tucked the watch back into his pocket: "Sit for another 5 minutes."

Gu Chengxi hesitated and said, "Master, recently... are you still going to Baoding?"

Huo Xiangzhen nodded: "I'll go."

Gu Chengxi became more courageous: "Then I'll wait for two more days, can I go with the commander?"

As soon as this remark came out, Bai Mani immediately helped out: "Brother, I'm suffocated to death at home! Let Xiao Gu stay with me more!"

Huo Xiangzhen knew that Gu Chengxi was a little bit tongue-in-cheek, so it probably suited my younger brother's personality.Nodding absent-mindedly, he reprimanded both of them casually: "Playful, useless."

Bai Mani immediately made a grimace: "Oh, it's already 5 minutes, brother, let's go!"

Huo Xiangzhen looked at him and smiled: "Little brat, kick me out."

Then he actually got up.Raising his hand and touching Bai Mani's head, he turned and walked out: "Come back the day after tomorrow."

Governors from all provinces gathered in Tianjin for the annual military conference.Huo Xiangzhen met Duan Duli from Shandong.Wan Guoqiang's Ministry has been stationed between Shandong and Zhili all year round. Duan Duan has no choice but to turn a blind eye to him.Huo Xiangzhen has no unreasonable demands on Governor Duan, but only hopes that he will not form an alliance with Wan Guoqiang.Previously, Huo Xiangzhen had always valued peace and dealt with Lian Yi patiently.After holding his breath for a few years, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and insisted that Lian Yi and Wan Guoqiang were in cahoots, and they all had the intention of causing trouble.Anyway, Lian Yi and Wan Guoqiang didn't attend the meeting, and they couldn't have a debate with him face to face.

On the other hand, Lian Yi also gave him a good face.Panicked and retreated all the way south, Lian Yi had no choice but to form an alliance with Wan Guoqiang.So Huo Xiangzhen was confident and determined to put him two to death.He will hit anyone who dares to stop him!

No one stopped him, including Governor Duan.This is Tianjin, one of his base camps, and the supervisors can't afford to be unhappy in his territory.Huo Xiangzhen's battle became more and more justifiable, and Deputy Chief Tan also deserved the death and offence.

At noon on the third day, he took the special train back to Beijing.An Rushan at the front line was busy, and he at the rear was also busy. It seemed like he was racing against time from morning till night.Returning home in a hurry, he asked Ma Congrong to find Gu Chengxi, while standing in Bai Mani's room and taking a deep breath.Bai Mani was sleeping on his stomach under the quilt, he squinted his eyes dimly, and buried his face under the quilt, for fear that Huo Xiangzhen would see his flaws.

Huo Xiangzhen breathed for a long time, and finally asked: "Little brother, what did you burn in the house? Why does it have a strange smell?"

Bai Mani hummed twice, indicating that he was not awake.

Huo Xiangzhen couldn't stop, and wanted to leave again. Before leaving, she told him: "Multiple ventilation."

He didn't make a sound, and only when Huo Xiangzhen had gone far away did he stick his head out from under the quilt.After a long breath of relief, he took out a cigarette tray, a cigarette stick, a bottle of tobacco ointment, and an extinguished small cigarette lamp from under the quilt—he was almost caught by Huo Xiangzhen before he really Scared him to death.

Ma Congrong stayed in Beijing to handle the official affairs of the office, so Huo Xiangzhen just took Gu Chengxi into the car and drove all the way from Beijing to Baoding.Gu Chengxi has a grudge against him in his heart, because love and hate are intertwined, so his mood is quite contradictory.Before getting into the car, he had been thinking about what to say and what to laugh on the road.Unexpectedly, within 3 minutes after the car started, Huo Xiangzhen fell asleep in the back seat.

Huo Xiangzhen was so busy creating public opinion in Tianjin that she hardly had time to sleep.Now in the car that was traveling leisurely, he slept on his side, on his side, and the more he slept, the better he slept.Fittingly leaning on Gu Chengxi's chest, he slowly slid down along the bumps of the car, falling onto Gu Chengxi's thigh little by little.Gu Chengxi never expected such a beautiful event on the road, with one arm around Huo Xiangzhen's waist and the other holding Huo Xiangzhen's hand, he looked solemn and secretly ecstatic.

The car drove on a rough dirt road, and everyone in the car was turned into fried beans.Huo Xiangzhen was disturbed, but she was too deep in sleep to wake up.The car jolted violently, and he gave a low "hmm".The car bumped up and down every now and then, and he also said "hmm" one after another.Gu Chengxi's expression gradually changed from solemn to painful - Huo Xiangzhen unconsciously rubbed against him all the way, but he could see, touch, but couldn't eat, he was so greedy that his crotch was about to catch fire.
