his robbery

Chapter 73

Huo Xiangzhen dismounted in front of the military camp outside the city, and took a car into Beijing instead.Ma Congrong was sitting beside him, looking over the back of Yuanman's head in front of him, looking into the distance.Eyes see far, heart sees near.He wants to see how long the uncle can stay calm!

Huo Xiangzhen leaned back and closed her eyes to rest, with her hands on her thighs, and she was holding a horse whip horizontally.Along the way, he did not show his prestige, remained calm, as if he had a great idea, was very smart, and everything was under control.At the last moment, however, he got into the car with a riding whip.

Ma Congrong didn't look at him, but stretched out his hand obliquely, pulled out the whip and put it on the side of the seat.Huo Xiangzhen's fingers moved slightly, as if he wanted to close them and clenched them tightly.However, after a moment of hesitation, he let go.

He was very tired, tired long ago, tired heart, tired from Beidaihe to Beijing, tired from Beijing to Baoding.An evil fire burned out his evil energy. He used to always say that Gu Chengxi was evil, but now he thought that he was also evil.Like a walking corpse possessed by a ghost, he was so exhausted that he could hardly breathe, but he was still able to single-handedly fire [-] cannonballs in the direction of Gu Tuan.

Thirty loud noises that shook the sky and the earth were his last words.His last words to my younger brother.

When the soldiers are gone, you can recruit again, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand!But there is only one younger brother, so he can't say goodbye to his younger brother dumbly.

Thirty cannon shots, after landslides and ground cracks, there is nothing left.

The convoy stopped in front of the Huo Mansion.The guard jumped off the running board of the car and opened the rear door.Ma Congrong got out of the car first, and then vainly helped Huo Xiangzhen.Huo Xiangzhen still held her head high and held her chest high, stepping across the threshold as before.Ma Congrong followed closely, followed by Yuan Man.Yuan Man has always been wary of Huo Xiangzhen's crimes against him, from Beijing to Baoding, and from Baoding back to Beijing, he was so frightened that he didn't think about eating and drinking, he was black and thin, and he kept his mouth shut from morning to night. Dare to release the golden light in my mouth again.However, Huo Xiangzhen never mentioned his dereliction of duty, not mentioning it at all, as if he forgot.

All the way to the back, Yuan Man stopped outside hesitantly, and Ma Congrong followed Huo Xiangzhen up the steps.When Huo Xiangzhen returned home, he would always go to the living room to drink a cup of tea, or go to the study to handle official business.But today he went straight back to the bedroom.Ma Congrong brought him a cup of cold boiled water: "Don't you take a shower first?"

Huo Xiangzhen sat by the bed, lowered her head and took off her underwear, shoes and socks: "I'll take a nap."

Ma Congrong saw that he refused to ask for water, so he raised his glass and took a sip: "Okay."

Huo Xiangzhen was shirtless and put on the bed wearing white silk pants.Ma Congrong bent down and unfolded a blanket for him, while he sat in the middle of the big bed in a daze, and suddenly said: "I may be sick."

Then he lay on his back, looked at the ceiling and let out a long breath.Then he turned over with his eyes closed, and fell asleep with his back to Ma Congrong.

Ma Congrong quietly exited the bedroom with a cup in hand, and slowly closed the door tightly.Tiptoeing down, he sent his orderly to the kitchen and brought back a plate of colorful jelly puddings for himself.He has a sweet tooth, and sitting alone in the living room, he took off his military uniform and changed into a short jacket.He was eating cold pudding while blowing on the electric fan. While eating, he suddenly smiled, then slightly rounded his lips, and with a "sting" sound, he sucked a piece of soft and quivering pudding into his mouth.

When he finished eating up the plate of jelly pudding, he crossed his legs and leaned back.His cold tongue licked his sweet lips. He expected that Huo Xiangzhen would not wake up for a while, so he lit another cigarette for himself.The cigarette is slender, his fingers are slender, and his whole body is also slender.Taking a deep breath, he exhaled two long puffs of smoke from his nostrils.After a lazy "um...", he sighed softly to himself: "Quiet!"

Huo's kitchen has a western food department, and the chef's skills are quite good.On the order of the Secretary-General, the master specially bought fresh lamb chops from Siberia from the Belarusian restaurant in Dongjiaomin Lane.After the lamb chops were carefully cooked, the kitchen servants brought the dinners into the inner dining room, only to find that the secretary-general was alone in the dining room.

Ma Congrong ate lamb chops and drank foreign wine, without thinking, just eating and drinking.From appetizer soup to dessert, he eats without saying a word and meticulously.Finally put the knife and fork to wipe his mouth, and he peeled another chocolate candy for himself.Getting up with chocolate candy in his mouth, he went up to see Huo Xiangzhen.

Huo Xiangzhen was still sleeping on the blanket, her head was nestled on the side of the pillow, she was not lying right, and she was not breathing well, always wheezing like she was about to snore.Ma Congrong stretched out his hand to straighten his head, and then pressed his palm against his forehead.I have a little fever, but it's not very hot, so don't worry about it.

Turning around and going out, he caught Yuan Man who was like a frightened bird outside.Yuan Man asked him anxiously: "Is the commander awake?"

Ma Congrong shook his head first, then patted him on the shoulder: "Adjutant, come play tennis with me in the garden?"

Yuan Man did not have his good interest, but wandering blindly was not a long-term solution.Like a fish caught in the net, Ma Congrong flopped under Ma Congrong's hands, and he subconsciously asked, "Playing tennis?"

Ma Congrong said with a smile: "It's so easy that the world is peaceful, and we are not relaxed? The commander is not awake, I dare not go home, so I just have some fun by myself! I know you are good at tennis, what's the matter? Are you willing to play with the commander?" , refuse to fight with the Secretary-General?"

Yuan Man took a step back with a wry smile: "No, no, no. How can it be?"

Ma Congrong played tennis all evening, and then went back to take a bath and rest.When he got up early the next morning, he went up to see Huo Xiangzhen and found that Huo Xiangzhen was still sleeping.

Ma Congrong went down to eat breakfast, and then went out in a car. Lu Yongming's young master always wanted to see him, and it was not good to always refuse to delay seeing him.How old is Lu Yongming, it's wrong to be arrogant in front of him, and it's also wrong to be humble, so when there is something to contact him, all the young masters are sent to come forward.After talking and laughing with Young Master Lu for half a day, he was invited by An Rushan again in the afternoon.An Rushan asked him: "What's the matter with Gu Chengxi? The commander-in-chief treats him well, why did he rebel?"

Ma Congrong glanced at him hesitantly, turning the emerald ring on his right finger with his left finger: "Mr. An, the reason is beyond words!"

An Rushan poked his head and continued to ask: "I heard that the commander let him go?"

Ma Congrong took a deep breath, then shook his head and sighed with a smile: "Mr. An, to be honest. I can't answer your question. It's not that I can't say clearly, but I can't say it. In short, every family has It's hard to recite the scriptures, don't look at the small population of the commander-in-chief's mansion, if someone makes a fuss, the movement may not be smaller than that of the big family."

An Rushan stretched his neck as far as possible, wishing he could whisper to Ma Congrong: "So there is something about Young Master Bai?"

Ma Congrong lowered his eyes, smiled without saying a word.It wasn't until An Rushan was about to shrink his neck back that he frowned slightly, as if he couldn't express it, and turned his hands in front of his chest, trying to make up for the lack of words with movements: "They are a kind of—— This is a very chaotic relationship. With the identity of Young Master Bai, the commander-in-chief naturally feels ashamed. But having said that, now that men and women talk about freedom of love, Young Master Bai himself is willing to be with Captain Gu—" Another cloud hand : "The commander-in-chief has no right to interfere, does he?"

An Rushan was like a strong goose with a long neck, staring at Ma Congrong and thinking for a long time before he understood his gestures and words.

Ma Congrong withdrew his hand and nodded to An Rushan: "Mr. An, keep it secret, you must keep it secret."

An Rushan also nodded: "Oh, don't worry, I will keep it secret. If you ask me to say it, I don't even know what to say."

In the evening, Ma Congrong returned to Huo's Mansion with a thermos bucket of ice cream.

Huo Xiangzhen was still sleeping.Ma Congrong expected that he would not die if he did not eat or drink for two days and one night, so he went down into the living room and ate a bucket of ice cream by himself.After eating, I went back to my room and went to sleep.

On the morning of the third day, Huo Xiangzhen woke up.

Ma Congrong was standing by the bed, he was sitting on the bed, his hair was all upright, his face was swollen and lost his clear outline.With his eyes half closed and his head lowered, he seemed to be asleep even when he was awake, without saying a word or moving.Ma Congrong boldly touched his head, but he didn't respond.

So the slap slid from the back of his head to his bare back, and Ma Congrong bent over and said, "Master, I can't sleep anymore. Don't say anything else, I can't stand it if I don't eat or drink all the time!"

Huo Xiangzhen heard the words "don't eat or drink", and finally turned her face to Ma Congrong's direction dully, but she lowered her eyelids and still didn't look at anyone: "How long have I been asleep?"

Ma Congrong replied in a low voice, "It's been two days and two nights."

Huo Xiangzhen's voice was deep and hoarse, with the vicissitudes of life in his seventies and eighties: "Why didn't you wake me up?"

Ma Congrong patted him on the back lightly like coaxing a big child: "Master is too short of sleep, I want you to get enough sleep at once."

Huo Xiangzhen's eyelids weighed a thousand pounds, and his eyelashes were flickering and he was about to close his eyes: "Aren't you afraid that I won't wake up and just stink in the room?"

Ma Congrong smiled, and bent over to get him slippers from under the bed—yes, he'll be fussy, so it's obvious that he didn't sleep in vain.

After Huo Xiangzhen washed up, Ma Congrong gave him another bowl of thin lotus seed porridge.Leading him to sit in front of the large full-length mirror in the lower living room, Ma Congrong wrapped a white sheet around his neck and wanted to cut his hair.

He moved quickly, and finished the work in threes and fives.Putting down the scissors and picking up the brush, he asked Huo Xiangzhen while cleaning the hair stubble on his neck and ears, "Master, is it okay?"

Huo Xiangzhen frowned slightly, and squinted at the person in the mirror.After watching for a long time, he opened his mouth: "Your craftsmanship is not good."

Ma Congrong carefully unwrapped the white cloth sheet: "You can't keep it even if you have good craftsmanship!"

Then he waited for Huo Xiangzhen to turn his face.Waited for a while, but found nothing.Huo Xiangzhen quietly looked in the mirror, two days and two nights of sleep had made him thin.

After sending the white sheet with hair stubble out of the living room, Ma Congrong came back with a hot towel, took off his collar and wiped the back of his neck, and asked, "Sir, should we move today? The garden is cooler than inside, and it’s comfortable to live in.”

Huo Xiangzhen lowered her head deeply, and was stunned by his rubbing: "Yes."

Ma Congrong asked again: "Will Young Master Bai come back? If he comes back, I will keep the wing room for him."

Huo Xiangzhen replied: "He is not from our family anymore, so there is no need to keep it for him."

Ma Congrong wrapped his fingers with a towel and picked out Huo Xiangzhen's ears: "Master, don't be angry."

Huo Xiangzhen raised her head abruptly: "You take me as angry? Do you think the Huo family is a city gate where you can come out as soon as you want, and enter as you want?"

Ma Congrong nodded with a good temper: "Yes, yes, I was wrong."

Huo Xiangzhen got up suddenly, and grabbed Ma Congrong's towel.Tilting his head and wiping his ears, he threw the towel into Ma Congrong's arms, and strode out of the living room.

Ma Congrong glanced at him, but didn't chase after him.Slowly putting the towel on the back of the chair, he turned and walked to the coffee table, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.In summer, it's best not to move at all, and just stay by the refrigerator fan, that's called enjoying life.How about some food to cool down in a while?Jelly pudding or ice cream?Or eat a few petals of iced watermelon.

Ma Congrong made a choice calmly and decided to eat iced watermelon.He knows that his mind is not big enough to accommodate his family, country and world.But what does the family, the country, and the world have to do with him?Three meals a day and clothes all year round are the true meaning of his life!

After eating a piece of iced watermelon, Ma Congrong went to the back yard and began to tidy up Huo Xiangzhen's house, along with a pool of lukewarm bath water.At the same time he sent the orderly to the kitchen, where he asked the cook to prepare a soft and nutritious meal for noon.

So Huo Xiangzhen took a hearty bath in the morning, and had a satisfying meal at noon.In the afternoon, he wandered into the small living room.There is a glass photo frame in the Duobaoge in the small living room, with a photo of him and Bai Mani embedded.Picking up the photo frame and looking at it, he turned around and walked to the cabinet against the wall, and put the photo frame into the cabinet.

Out of sight out of mind.He wants to go, let him go!He loved him so much that he was afraid of him, thousands of people, based on a few words in his letter, he gave up and gave him up!

After all, they grew up together since they were young, and they have been in love for 20 years.The elders gave them a good beginning, and now he is fulfilling him, asking him to love the evil species surnamed Gu, and also give them a good end for 20 years.

Using a white jade tiger as a paperweight to fill the space in the photo frame, Huo Xiangzhen stepped out and stood under the sun: "Is Beidaihe peaceful?"

Ma Congrong walked from the house to the verandah outside the door, and replied with a smile: "I heard that Duli Shi and Guardian Wan have made a move."

Huo Xiangzhen raised his hand and rubbed his temples: "Nie Renxiong's tour envoy, has it been published?"

Ma Congrong shook his head: "No news yet."

Huo Xiangzhen waved at him: "Prepare the car, I'll go to the Prime Minister's Office. Where's Yuan Man? I'm sleeping, and he's on vacation too?"

Ma Congrong raised his hand and pointed to the outside of the courtyard: "Yuan Man didn't leave, he has been waiting in front, the uncle can see him when he goes out."

Huo Xiangzhen became impatient: "Stupid! He's not a concierge, why is he always hiding in front?"

Ma Congrong went down the veranda, and led him out with a smile.Since the uncle has turned into a living donkey, it can be seen that he is really all right.
