his robbery

Chapter 57

When Gu Chengxi came out of the confinement room, the first thing he asked was "Is the commander gone?"

The man who came to set him free was the Chief of Staff.The chief of staff has been enjoying himself these past few days, and everyone is smiling slightly, and his face is flushed: "I haven't left, I'm still in the city. Commander Gu, your mouth——"

Gu Chengxi let out a "ah": "I'm angry! Whoever gets involved in this matter will not worry?"

The chief of staff led him out: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the salary will be fined, and the confinement will be closed. There can be no other things."

Gu Chengxi was dejected: "Chief of Staff, I accept your good words. If I had known that there would be a scene like today, I should have asked you to make a fortune in advance."

The chief of staff exhaled vigorously through his nostrils: "Hmph! This time, do you know what the old man is capable of?"

Gu Chengxi put his palms together and bowed to him: "Your Excellency is like a half-immortal body, the reincarnation of Zhuge. From now on, every year and festival, I will definitely go to the staff office to kowtow to you old man."

The chief of staff felt that his words were not good, so he cursed on the spot: "Go to hell!"

Gu Chengxi washed his face, combed his hair, and changed into a neat military uniform.There is no way to cover up the sore at the corner of the mouth, so I can only let it turn bright red as if it is about to bloom.Looking at himself in the mirror, he found that his face was pale, and he looked a little sick.He couldn't help feeling emotional in his heart, he thought that Ping An is really amazing, with such a solid physique, he couldn't resist his anger and punishment.

After drank a bowl of hot porridge in a drowsy manner, he ran out of the barracks like a wild horse and went into the city.

At the gate of Huo Zhai, Gu Chengxi met Yuan Man.

Yuan Man squatted on the ground, teasing a puppy.Suddenly seeing him coming, he stood up and greeted him with a smile.Gu Chengxi pulled him aside and asked softly, "Is the commander in?"

Yuan Man replied in a daze, "Yes!"

Gu Chengxi asked again: "Are you in a good mood?"

Yuan Man shook his head hesitantly, and then replied in a low voice: "The commander-in-chief rode a cannon barrel in the camp in the morning, and he hurt his egg, and it seemed to be quite painful. He didn't go out in the afternoon, and he was drinking tea in the room by himself!"

Gu Chengxi thought about it and said, "It hurts...has he lost his temper these two days?"

Yuan Man immediately waved his hand: "No, he has been very happy these two days."

Gu Chengxi nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, lieutenant, please inform me. I'm a guilty person now, so I dare not go in directly."

Yuan Man immediately agreed, and while patting the dog fur on his body, he turned and ran into the house.Gu Chengxi also tried to step through the gate tentatively, and tried his best to straighten his back, trying to show a bit of heroism.

Within a moment, Yuan Man appeared from a corridor in front of him, waving at Gu Chengxi while running.Gu Chengxi's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward to meet him: "Are you letting me in?"

Yuan Man smiled and nodded: "Go!"

From the gate to the room where Huo Xiangzhen was, there was only a corridor between them.This corridor made Gu Chengxi walk around a thousand times, and he didn't dare to go too fast, because he hadn't made up his mind yet—when he saw Huo Xiangzhen, what he said first, what he did first, had to be done. Just think it through.In front of Huo Xiangzhen, he had to be a mixture of a slave and a hero, he had to keep his duty, and he had to be promising;

When he finally stopped in front of the door, he took a deep breath with his head held high, and then he spoke very cautiously: "Report to the commander, Chengxi is here."

Huo Xiangzhen's voice came from across the door: "Come in."

Gu Chengxi pushed open the door, and stepped across the threshold respectfully.Turning around and gently closing the door tightly, he turned his eyes straight to Huo Xiangzhen in front of him.The belly draft that had just been typed was messed up in an instant. He looked into Huo Xiangzhen's eyes, and suddenly walked quickly in front of the other party, and knelt down with a "plop".

Huo Xiangzhen sat upright on a grand master's chair, with her left hand resting on her thigh, and her right elbow resting on the armrest of the chair.Looking down at Gu Chengxi, he asked, "What are you kneeling for?"

Gu Chengxi replied softly: "What happened that day... the more I think about it, the more afraid I become..."

Huo Xiangzhen sneered slightly: "A person who leads troops to fight should have some courage."

Gu Chengxi lowered his head, and slowly raised his hand to grab Huo Xiangzhen's left hand.After grabbing it and leaning over, he pressed that hand to his face in fear.He had coaxed Huo Xiangzhen very well before, and he didn't know if his previous efforts would be wasted now.As if divining, he put all his thoughts on that hand, trembling, he went to get close to that hand, he thought that as long as that hand didn't abandon him, he would not be considered a failure, and he still had hope.

One hand went up to cover Huo Xiangzhen's left hand, and the other hand went down to hug Huo Xiangzhen's calf.He raised his face: "Marshal, I'm sorry for you."

Huo Xiangzhen frowned and raised her leg: "Gu Chengxi, I punished you, not bullied you. Why did you end up in the three-day confinement and turn you into a bitch? Look at your virtue. After entering the door, you treated me again. Kneeling and hugging your legs, but you still look a bit like a leader? Next time if you make a mistake again, shouldn't you cry at me, make trouble, and hang yourself?"

Gu Chengxi was taken aback by his scolding, and subconsciously dragged out a long voice: "Then——it can't be."

Huo Xiangzhen glared: "I see Xuan! Your current pomp is already big enough!"

Gu Chengxi looked back at the door, then laughed softly: "I didn't let others see it."

Huo Xiangzhen forcibly withdrew his hand: "If you don't face other people, can you be shameless?" Then he stomped his feet fiercely: "Get up!"

Gu Chengxi straightened up and stood up: "Yes!"

On his own initiative, he went around to the grand master's chair, and bent down to hug Huo Xiangzhen.The fear disappeared, and it turned out that he was still his regiment leader.But having said that, the first time Gu Chengxi found Ping An was really a little dazed.She treated him so tenderly, but in the end she was scolded by him old-fashionedly.

Putting his chin on Huo Xiangzhen's shoulder, he sighed easily.Huo Xiangzhen turned her face sideways, and asked straightforwardly: "What are you going to do again?"

Gu Chengxi kissed him affectionately: "I think... I want to do something nasty."

Huo Xiangzhen immediately tilted her head and hid: "Get out!"

Gu Chengxi immediately changed the topic: "How about I play wooden swords with the commander in chief? Let you see my skills, definitely not inferior to Yuan Man."

Huo Xiangzhen shook his shoulders, trying to shake him off: "No."

Gu Chengxi suddenly realized: "Oh... I heard from Yuan Man that you smashed the egg when you rode the cannon this morning?"

He tilted his head and smiled at Huo Xiangzhen: "Shall I rub it for you?"

Huo Xiangzhen took a deep breath, then grabbed one of Gu Chengxi's arms with both hands, stood up and fell over his shoulder.Gu Chengxi took off unexpectedly, and fell firmly on the hard floor on his back.There was an ear-piercing sound in the room, and it was Huo Xiangzhen who dragged the grand master's chair and walked up to him.Sitting firmly with one buttocks down, Huo Xiangzhen stepped on his chest, and at the same time said condescendingly: "Shut up or get out. If you dare to make any noise, I'll trample you to death!"

Gu Chengxi immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, then put his arms behind his head, and squinted his eyes to look at Huo Xiangzhen.Huo Xiangzhen also looked down at him, and for some reason, suddenly remembered Bai Mani's comment to herself - "Brother, you are so annoying."

Leaning over and stretching out his hand, he patted Gu Chengxi's face: "Head Gu, you are so annoying."

Gu Chengxi smiled: "Oh, Marshal, it would be great if you can always be stepped on like this. I'm afraid that one day you will get tired of stepping on me and kick me away as a stumbling block."

Huo Xiangzhen felt that his words were very fresh: "You are not Lian Yi, why should I kick you?"

Gu Chengxi looked at him helplessly and smiled, thinking to himself, this big fool, how could he compare me to Lian Yi?Are Lian Yi and I the same thing?

Gu Chengxi refused to leave. After lying down for a while, he felt the floor was cold and hard, and his back was painful with boils, so he got up boldly.Sitting cross-legged facing Huo Xiangzhen, he carried the other's thighs on his left and right shoulders respectively.Huo Xiangzhen was flipping through a newspaper, at this moment she looked down at him like a warning: "Don't make trouble!"

Gu Chengxi nodded repeatedly, and sure enough there was no trouble.Holding Huo Xiangzhen's leg steadily, he raised his hands calmly and began to grope through the military trousers.The weather was cold and the trousers were thick, Huo Xiangzhen didn't feel strangely touched by him, but he couldn't help but playful seeing other people's cheap hands.Pressing the armrests of the chair with both hands, Huo Xiangzhen used his strength to jump forward, not only bumped Gu Chengxi onto his back again, but also sat firmly on his chest.Gu Chengxi didn't take precautions, and was almost crushed by him on the spot.

Huo Xiangzhen was used to fighting with Yuan Man, thinking that everyone was as copper-skinned and iron-boned as Yuan Man.Bowing his head and smiling at Gu Chengxi, he asked proudly, "Are you convinced?"

Gu Chengxi took a long breath, and his voice was thin: "Marshal...you are going to...sit me to death..."

Huo Xiangzhen quickly moved aside and helped him up again.Gu Chengxi gasped for a few breaths, then turned to face Huo Xiangzhen, smiled red-faced, and leaned forward to kiss him again.

Huo Xiangzhen patted him on the back: "I still have this leisurely heart, it seems that I can't die."

Gu Chengxi rubbed his chest, and at the same time made sure that the ribs were not broken: "I admit it even if I die!"

Huo Xiangzhen raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head: "Gu Chengxi, you are such a monster."

Gu Chengxi didn't speak, but told him in his heart: "Silly Ping An, you know nothing!"

Huo Xiangzhen didn't drive Gu Chengxi back to the camp, so Gu Chengxi lingered on with a playful smile on his face.Yuan Man was very happy that he didn't leave, because Captain Gu was young enough and lively enough to make long jokes and nonsense.Yuan Man put on the airs of an adjutant chief, wanting to invite his guests all over the place.In the evening, there was really a banquet in the gatehouse of the house.Logically speaking, Gu Chengxi shouldn't mix with a group of adjutants, but the adjutants around the commander are naturally different from the adjutants around the head of the regiment.With Yuan Man's current face, it's okay to mess around.The concierge is not a place for banquets, but the big table is set up so that people can eat and drink without delay.The dishes are all ordered from the largest restaurants in the city, and the drinks are foreign goods from Tianjin.Yuan Man stood under the electric light, held a bottle of foreign wine and looked at it for a long time, and finally raised his head and smiled at everyone: "Today, I really let me pick out a good bottle of 30-year-old brandy. Let's try it later."

An adjutant stood by the table and bent over to look at the dishes on the table: "Hey? Why is there a piece of cold abalone missing?"

Gu Chengxi received the 30-year-old brandy from Yuan Man, pretending to be watching, but in fact he had other plans in mind.The adjutants don't need to pay a penny for the food and wine bills, they are all counted as Huo Zhai's expenses. The 30-year-old brandy was specially transported from Tianjin. Could it be for the adjutants?But the adjutants ate and drank, but no one knew, at least, Huo Xiangzhen didn't know, or didn't bother to know.

The waiters in the restaurant came again, and the cold abalone was finally on the table. Several bottles of 30-year-old brandy were opened and poured into the glass.The adjutants talked, laughed, ate and drank informally, and at the moment of excitement, the door suddenly opened.A young man walked in hastily: "What's going on? No one is waiting in the commander's room!"

Yuan Man had just picked up a chopstick dish from the plate, when he heard this, he immediately raised his head: "Isn't Xiao Wang on duty today?"

The young man spread his hands: "I didn't see Xiao Wang!"

Yuan Man raised his chin to his side: "Xiao Li, you go there, you take Xiao Wang's place."

Xiao Li put down his chopsticks, cupped his fists and bowed to Yuan Man: "Brother, dear brother, I was me yesterday, let's change someone today!"

Yuan Man stuffed a chopstick of vegetables into his mouth, then walked out while chewing with puffed cheeks: "I'll go!"

As soon as he took a step, Gu Chengxi got up and stopped him: "Deputy commander, you eat what you eat, I'll go for you. I just committed a crime a few days ago, and now I just happen to pay more attention to the commander-in-chief's ass."

Yuan Man felt embarrassed and refused to let him leave the banquet.After some tugging, Gu Chengxi almost escaped from the concierge.Trotting inwards along the corridor, he walked through the twilight light against the evening wind, feeling very happy because he had another chance to go to see Ping An openly.

However, after pushing open the door, he stopped at the door for a moment.Huo Xiangzhen was sitting at the table facing the door, holding his rice bowl and looking up at him.

Huo Xiangzhen was obviously surprised: "Why are you?"

Gu Chengxi walked to the table: "Adjutant Wang asked for leave today, I have nothing to do, so I can take care of the commander-in-chief for him."

Then he lowered his head and saw a plate of fried winter bamboo shoots, a plate of bad chicken, and a large bowl of soup on the table.This room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, with a bead curtain hanging in the middle.The lights in the room were not turned on, and the light from the electric lights in the outside room was limited, making it even more dark and deep behind the bead curtains, so cold and empty that it lost all human spirit.

Gu Chengxi had just passed through the commotion in the concierge, there were wine and wine in front of his eyes, and laughter in his ears, and now he came back suddenly, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.He looked at Huo Xiangzhen, Huo Xiangzhen was eating seriously, obviously not aware of his loneliness.

"Marshal always eats alone?" He couldn't help asking softly.

Huo Xiangzhen swallowed the food in his mouth first, and then replied: "I have no family members, if I don't eat by myself, who will I eat with?"

Gu Chengxi stopped asking, thinking that the adjutants were eating delicacies from mountains and seas and drinking 30-year-old brandy in the front; He seemed unwilling to come over to accompany him. Only Yuan Man had a conscience, but he was lazy whenever he could.It can be seen that no emotion means no emotion. Even if you become an emperor, if people don't treat you with sincerity, you will be fine.

Taking the empty bowl from Huo Xiangzhen, Gu Chengxi filled him with a full bowl of rice.He didn't chew the tongues of the adjutants, because he knew that according to Huo Xiangzhen's temper, he would never take a mouthful of food and drink seriously, and he said it for nothing, showing his petty air.

"If you are at home, Young Master Bai can still be your companion." Gu Chengxi observed his words and said again: "Master Bai is interesting, like a child."

Huo Xiangzhen ate very quickly, and ate another bowl in a hurry, and asked Gu Chengxi to serve himself a bowl of soup. He stirred the vegetables in the soup with chopsticks: "Mani is too picky, eating is laborious."

Gu Chengxi followed his words and said, "Squeamish."

Huo Xiangzhen drank the soup in one gulp: "Hungry him for a day, let's see if he is still delicate."

Gu Chengxi looked at him, and found that when he said this, a gentle light flashed in his eyes.

So he continued: "But Young Master Bai is capable of quitting opium. This is something that most people can't do."

Huo Xiangzhen smiled and nodded again, as if Gu Chengxi praised him, but he was disrespectful and deserved to accept it.Picking up the folded napkin at hand and wiping her mouth, Huo Xiangzhen stood up and wanted to go out, but before leaving, he suddenly raised his hand to wrap Gu Chengxi's shoulder.He stared at the window with a smile and was silent for a while, then he finally said in a low voice: "After a while, I may have to work part-time. If I do, I'll change you and your group to a better place!"

Then pointing at the tip of his nose threateningly, Huo Xiangzhen stared straight into his eyes: "Secret."

Gu Chengxi smiled at him: "Yes, handsome."

Huo Xiangzhen lowered his eyes and smiled complacently, then let go of Gu Chengxi, and walked out the door on his own.
