his robbery

The autumn is crisp and the crabs are fat.The fat crabs were carried into the kitchen of Huo's mansion one by one by the little orderlies, and put into the steamer one by one by the cook.When the red crabs came to the dining table, Ma Congrong held the armed belt around his waist with one hand, swung the other arm and began to look for Huo Xiangzhen.

On the tennis court in the garden, he saw two heroes twisted together, it was Huo Xiangzhen and Andre.At the beginning Huo Xiangzhen told him to "take the lord and get out", he followed his advice and got out, but the next day he brought the lord and rolled back.Seeing Huo Xiangzhen again this time, Andre was given an adjutant's uniform, so it was justifiable to keep him.

Andre is also a big man, similar in stature to Huo Xiangzhen, because he can't speak Chinese well, so he is slow in speech but quick in action. If others ignore him, he will keep silent from morning till night.The status of the duke is genuine, although it has expired; it is said that he also has a sister, a princess, who is very beautiful. A few years ago, she went to Shanghai to work as a prostitute, but now there is no news of her, and she is dead or alive.If a young adjutant asked him about his family with a playful smile, he would open his blue eyes blankly and pretend he didn't understand Chinese.

He doesn't have much literary talent, and he doesn't even know a few Chinese characters; when it comes to martial arts, he doesn't even have a penny, and he only relies on his natural strong back and waist to wrestle with Chinese generals.Leaning over and hugging Huo Xiangzhen's waist, he kicked his feet back and forth on the ground, gnashing his teeth and wanting to push forward.Huo Xiangzhen took a lunge and pushed his head hard with her chest.Ma Congrong stood by and watched for a long time, only to see that Andre's white face had turned red, and Huo Xiangzhen had veins on his forehead.

He calmly raised his hand to straighten his hair, while Ma Congrong continued to wait.Until Huo Xiangzhen suddenly yelled and pushed Andre forward.

Ma Congrong opened his mouth right away, and called Huo Xiangzhen away, talking and laughing.

Ma Congrong peeled crabs for Huo Xiangzhen slowly.He peeled a little, and Huo Xiangzhen ate a little.Peeling was not as fast as eating, Ma Congrong glanced sideways, and saw Huo Xiangzhen sitting upright, with ginger, vinegar, and rice wine lined up on the left and right sides of the table.Lowering his eyes condescendingly, he stared straight at his hand, waiting for a bite of crab meat wholeheartedly.

Ma Congrong suddenly became playful, and sent a bit of leg meat directly to Huo Xiangzhen's mouth.Huo Xiangzhen tilted his head back and raised his chopsticks to pick it up. He couldn't get it under the first pinch, and couldn't get it under the second pinch. Before he started the third pinch, Ma Congrong had already stuffed the meat into his mouth.

After chewing and swallowing the crab meat twice, Huo Xiangzhen looked up at him: "Are you kidding me?"

Ma Congrong didn't bother, and continued to work with a smile: "The uncle also has a sip of wine."

Huo Xiangzhen really took a sip of the rice wine with the wine glass. The taste of the wine was so good that he couldn't help but sighed slightly: "Let the kitchen send some crabs to Lao Maozi later."

Ma Congrong nodded respectfully, then looked up at Huo Xiangzhen: "Master, I haven't eaten, why don't you miss me?"

Huo Xiangzhen raised her eyebrows at him: "Are you short of crabs?"

Ma Congrong shook his head with a smile: "Master, I don't lack crabs, but I need a kind word from you."

Huo Xiangzhen narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, his eyebrows and eyelashes became darker and thicker: "I have to coax you first after eating crabs?"

Ma Congrong felt that since he returned home from Shandong, his temper seemed to have become a little bit better, so he boldly smiled and said: "Master, I beg you, please coax me!"

Huo Xiangzhen seemed to have heard the inconceivable words, and immediately frowned and smiled: "My God."

Before Ma Congrong could answer, he looked forward, licked his lips, cleared his throat, and said in a low voice, "Secretary-General, you have worked hard."

Ma Congrong chuckled, then lowered his head and continued peeling crabs.He couldn't push his feet any further, if he hadn't had a few glasses of rice wine at the bottom, Huo Xiangzhen wouldn't be so good-tempered, cheerful, and talkative.After dinner, I have to look through the almanac, today is a memorable day.Has Huo Xiangzhen ever joked with him face to face?He thought and thought, and it felt like there wasn't.Huo Xiangzhen is often happy with the secretary-general when facing outsiders, and when the outsiders leave, the secretary-general also becomes air.However, if he really disappeared on his own, Huo Xiangzhen would call him all over the world again. Once the phone was connected, his roar would often make the receiver tremble, and he would ask him aggressively: "You don't care about family affairs?"

After all, they turned out to be a family.

Ma Congrong speeded up and peeled countless crabs for Huo Xiangzhen.When Huo Xiangzhen was fed, he looked at the crab shells and legs all over the table, and suddenly became so tired that he lost his appetite.

As if digging for treasure from the ruins, Ma Congrong picked out a dozen or so fat and big crabs from the leftovers, and packed them into big food boxes.

A small orderly followed him with a food box, and went with him to the adjutant ahead.There are a lot of crabs today, so the commander ate crabs, and the adjutants followed suit.The adjutant's office was located in a small row of bungalows in front of the mansion. There was no formal dining table in the room, and everyone was fighting on their own, eating in a mess.The pretty Lieutenant Li stood in front of the window and ate some crab roe.Suddenly seeing Ma Congrong strolling over, he immediately greeted him through the half-open window: "Secretary-General!"

Ma Congrong nodded and smiled at him gracefully: "Where is the Sir?"

Lieutenant Li held half a crab, and immediately began to look around for Andre.At the same time, Ma Congrong had already stepped into the house.The adjutants were very aware of his status and power, so they greeted him in a chaotic manner as if they had met Nine Thousand Years.Ma Congrong responded with a smile while looking around the room.After looking around, he walked into the next room with his hands behind his back, and saw Andre who was having dinner alone.

The young people in the adjutant's office are all smart people. If they don't have enough brains, they won't be able to wear a woolen military uniform.Andre knew that he was not qualified to grab crabs with the elves, so he quietly hid in a secluded room to eat steamed buns and vegetable soup.Suddenly seeing Ma Congrong enter the door, he immediately got up and called out in a different tone: "Miaochang."

His Chinese is all self-taught, and recently he has secretly taken Adjutant Li as his husband.Lieutenant Li's voice was bright and fast, and every word slipped past, and Andre couldn't hear clearly. He wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to imitate vaguely.When the secretary-general came into his mouth, he became a "meow leader".

Ma Congrong waved to him with a smile: "My lord, come with me, I'll make a small treat for you today."

Ma Congrong took Andre out of the adjutant's office, and found another empty room for him to sit and eat crabs.Andre also doesn't know how to peel crabs. He holds the crabs and gnaws them with his teeth, and eats the meat after the shell is broken. The more he eats, the more moist his eyes become.Suddenly blinking, teardrops appeared on his curly golden eyelashes.

Sitting aside, Ma Congrong opened his mouth when he saw this, "Hey, what's the matter? Are you feeling wronged?"

Andre lowered his head and replied in a hoarse voice, "Miao Chang... Marshal... Very good."

Ma Congrong sighed with sympathy: "My lord, work hard! Let me tell you, as long as you are willing to make progress, your future is on my shoulders!"

Andre nodded again and again, then raised his hand and wiped his tears with his sleeve.Ma Congrong patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, don't cry. Remember, the Secretary-General will be your backer in the future. If anyone bullies you, come to me."

Andre was so grateful that he choked up and went to eat the crab again.And Ma Congrong turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window in a leisurely manner, his thoughts were orderly and clear.Huo Xiangzhen was in his palm, and he had to hold the favorites around Huo Xiangzhen one by one.Of course, with Andre's qualifications, he must not be suitable to be the new deputy chief.But when Yuan Man was alive, he was in a daze, and he didn't seem to be very clever.Whether it's suitable or not, don't you just listen to Huo Xiangzhen's words?

At night, Huo Xiangzhen sat in the pool and took a bath.Ma Congrong was squatting by the pool in his underpants, rubbing his back with a towel wrapped around his palm.After rubbing his back and his chest, under the light of the electric light, Ma Congrong rubbed his fingers on one side of his chest, and found some faint scars: "Is it a scar?"

Huo Xiangzhen looked down, and replied calmly, "Scar."

It was the scar left by Gu Chengxi.Gu Chengxi's teeth are very good, not inferior to Yuan Man's, so he gave him a mark with one bite.

Ma Congrong held his right hand, and there was a flat scar on the back of his right hand.From the back of the hand to the forearm, then from the forearm to the shoulder, and finally let go of the towel, he said down, "Master, change your arm!"

Huo Xiangzhen sat in the water, the pool was deep and full of water.The electric light on the ceiling was reflected on the clear water surface, and the warm water vapor floated and evaporated upwards.Huo Xiangzhen seemed to be leaning out from a shimmering mist, her golden skin was tight and smooth, and there were dots of glittering water droplets flowing on her shoulders and chest, she was the real star wearing, the real wearing moon.

Ma Congrong was stunned, and in a trance, he felt that Huo Xiangzhen stretched out his hand to grab him, and he slipped into the water like a whitebait.Huo Xiangzhen's chest was pressed against his back, before the pain started, he was addicted and trembling ahead of time.

Huo Xiangzhen was making waves in the pool, and Ma Congrong was imprisoned in his arms, so he could only go with the flow.By the time Huo Xiangzhen was satisfied, he was so weak that there was only a trace of energy left.

Huo Xiangzhen got out of the pool, wrapped herself in a bathrobe, and went back to the bedroom on her own.Ma Congrong put his arms across the edge of the pool, buried his face in his arms, and breathed slowly.The water was already cold, absorbing the heat of his body.He also wanted to leave, but his legs were weak and he was flustered, completely exhausted.

In the afternoon of the next day, Huo Xiangzhen came back from the outside, just in time to meet Dr. Taylor who was about to go out.After talking in a few words, he learned that Ma Congrong was ill.It's not a serious illness, it's just a cold and a fever. Dr. Taylor left him a bottle of antipyretic pills.

Huo Xiangzhen was very surprised, as if for the first time in his life he realized that Ma Congrong would also get sick.Surprised to the extreme, he went into Ma Congrong's bedroom himself.Standing upright in front of the bed, he lowered his head and met Ma Congrong's eyes on the bed.Ma Congrong blushed slightly, but his lips were pale.Looking at Huo Xiangzhen with dull eyes, he smiled and spoke weakly: "Master is back?"

Huo Xiangzhen looked down at Ma Congrong who was covered with a thick quilt, for some reason, he couldn't accept this situation and the scene.Raising his hand to stroke his newly shaved short hair, he scratched the back of his head very seriously.As if about to interrogate a thief, he asked in a deep voice, "Now...how do you feel?"

Ma Congrong replied: "It's okay, I was cold last night. I just took the medicine from Dr. Taylor, and I'll be fine after a night's sleep."

Huo Xiangzhen put her hands on her hips, and took another step sideways in front of the bed.The outside situation has changed rapidly, and he can't help but also have changes at home.And because Ma Congrong never got sick, he was a little panicked, very afraid that Ma Congrong would just say no like Yuan Man.Blinking his eyes and looking at the other party for a moment, he had nothing to say for a while, turned around and left with a heart hanging.

Ma Congrong didn't expect him to care about him, so he closed his eyes peacefully and wanted to sleep.He fell asleep until it was dark, and he was just about to wake up in a daze, when he suddenly heard the door open.Someone came to the bed in stride, and without opening his eyes, he could tell that it was Huo Xiangzhen.

Ma Congrong woke up immediately, but closed his eyes tightly and remained motionless, wanting to see what the uncle would do.Unexpectedly, Huo Xiangzhen directly extended his finger to his nose.After confirming that he was still angry, Huo Xiangzhen straightened up, turned around and left again.

Ma Congrong got a taste of his new method of visiting patients, neither smiling nor angry.Opening his eyes and turning over, he sighed softly.

In the early morning of the next day, Ma Congrong went out refreshed, and met Huo Xiangzhen walking into the restaurant with some papers.The two met head to head, Huo Xiangzhen stopped, looked at Ma Congrong up and down, saw that his face had also turned pale, his lips had turned red, and he was still the same as before.

As usual, Ma Congrong laughed before saying anything: "Master, what are you looking at?"

Huo Xiangzhen said, "Okay?"

Ma Congrong nodded: "Okay, it's not a serious illness."

Huo Xiangzhen didn't say any more, and went straight into the restaurant.Sitting upright in the chief seat, he spread a few pieces of paper on the table and read them while drinking porridge.Ma Congrong followed in and walked up to his side: "Master, what are you looking at?"

Huo Xiangzhen replied in a low voice, "Battle report."

Ma Congrong also lowered his voice: "I'm not busy with official business at this moment, let's watch after eating!"

Huo Xiangzhen withdrew his gaze: "I don't want to watch it, there's nothing to watch. I fight every day, nothing changes."

Ma Congrong smiled and said, "Hasn't the Army Commander already entered Henan?"

Huo Xiangzhen stirred the hot porridge in the bowl with chopsticks, and replied with lowered eyes: "It's useless to come in early, and I'm not Feng's opponent. Lian Yi is standing still now. If Lian Yi moves, he will be finished immediately."

Seeing his pessimism, Ma Congrong wanted to comfort him: "Why is the commander of the army so vulnerable?"

Huo Xiangzhen snorted coldly, and took a big mouthful of porridge with the bowl: "Lu Yongming has known two things in his life, one is Buddhist scriptures, and the other is opium!"

After the words fell, he looked up at Ma Congrong.This glance is very powerful, with the meaning of seeing everything, but it is not vicious or lethal.

After a glance, he was silent and continued to drink porridge.

Ma Congrong was startled suddenly, thinking how much does the uncle know?How much did you tolerate?

As if to repent or make amends, he subconsciously raised his hand and stroked Huo Xiangzhen's back, once and for all, smoothing his hair.Throat a little tight, dry and unhappy.He swallowed secretly, and then changed the subject: "Master, you're not going to the battlefield, are you?"

Huo Xiangzhen passed the empty bowl aside: "No."

Ma Congrong served him a bowl of porridge and breathed a sigh of relief.It's not good, the guns have no eyes, how dangerous it is.

Huo Xiangzhen ate and drank absent-mindedly.Just now he cheated Ma Congrong with words, but it didn't work out.It is better to have no result than bad result, and it is actually a shameful thing to often use force against the secretary-general like a house thief.But the secretary-general did not fight for three days, and went to the house to expose the tiles.Give him a bit of color every now and then, and he will immediately push his nose to his face.

Huo Xiangzhen lived safely at home, controlling Lu Yongming's army from afar.In November, the situation in Henan suddenly changed. Lian Yi's National Defense Army suddenly realized their revolutionary mission and joined the battle without saying a word.

The army suffered a crushing defeat and withdrew from Henan in a hurry.The young master of the Lu family, Lu Jian'er, died on the battlefield, and Lu Yongming himself was also seriously injured.Just after retreating into the border of Shandong, the remnants of the army fell into the encirclement of the National Defense Army again, and there was no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

Regardless of An Rushan and Ma Congrong's dissuasion, Huo Xiangzhen set off with his troops and headed for Shandong—he wanted to rescue Lu Yongming and settle old scores with Lian Gu along the way!
