his robbery

When Gu Chengxi woke up, he was already in Heze County.Lying sprawled on a kang, he slowly opened his eyes wide, but saw Xiao Lin's face.

He forgot his own life and identity, just staring blankly at the thin baby face above.Xiao Lin knelt on the side of the kang with one leg, leaned over and lowered his head to look at him, his face remained motionless, only his eyes blinked watery, and a big drop of tear fell on his brow and heart. valve.

"Chengxi!" Xiao Lin opened his mouth crying, his nose completely blocked: "Are you awake?"

Gu Chengxi's brain began to turn, and he recognized the face in front of him as Xiao Lin.Subconsciously opened his mouth, he asked Xiao Lin in a hoarse voice, "Why don't you grow?"

Xiao Lin grinned, but didn't say anything, just gasped for breath and wailed silently.When Gu Chengxi was free, he always made fun of him, asking him eight times a day why he didn't grow long.The question made him grit his teeth, unable to laugh or cry.Stretching out his hand to touch Gu Chengxi's face, he choked up and replied, "Why haven't I grown? I have to be like you to be considered long? I don't like tall people, can you control me?"

Gu Chengxi smiled, his lips were dry and chapped, and a bloody gash was pulled out when he smiled: "I remember, I fell into a hole in the ice..." His voice became hoarse, because the past events emerged vividly, and he closed his eyes , I can see Huo Xiangzhen who is close at hand: "I didn't drown, but I came back alive?"

A thin palm caressed his cheek with moist heat.Xiao Lin looked at his eyebrows, his voice trembled from his chest, tears were streaming down his face, and his hands were shaking: "You are so lucky, those two dudes from the Du family jumped down halfway and picked you up again!"

Xiao Lin cried and said, and told Gu Chengxi what happened after he fell into the water-their group of more than a dozen people escaped alive in the end, except for Gu Chengxi, the Du family twins and Zhao Liangwu.The twins took Zhao Liangwu to snatch the horse, intending to run after Gu Chengxi, but they were blocked by cavalry halfway, so they had to make a temporary turn and began to gallop along the direction of the river.But the cavalry was about to catch up with them, and the bullets were flying around them, but there was another situation outside the forest—the reinforcements of the National Defense Army had arrived!

The reinforcements didn't know that the deputy commander was in the woods, they just broke through a short line of defense of the Zhilu coalition forces, and wanted to go straight to continue the attack, but they happened to meet the cavalry company of the coalition forces.The cavalry immediately retreated and turned to face the reinforcements, while the captured twins and Zhao Liangwu took the opportunity to survive and rescued Gu Chengxi who was going down the river.Qianqian joined the reinforcements, and they escaped a catastrophe.

Gu Chengxi heard the ending quietly.Stretching out his tongue to lick the blood on his lips, he was silent for a moment, but finally asked in a low voice: "Then... where is Shuai Jing?

Xiao Lin went down to find a wet towel, and gently wiped his chapped and bleeding lips: "Him? He fought with our soldiers, and he left after the fight!"

Gu Chengxi stared straight at the ceiling, and Huo Xiangzhen's face appeared on the ceiling.A biting chill came out again, and he seemed to have fallen into the ice river again.At that time, separated by the torrential water and the hard ice, his eyes were actually useless, but he did see Huo Xiangzhen's face clearly - so cold and full of killing intent.A barrage of bullets shot at the ice surface, and he used the most sloppy killing method on himself, as if he was just one of thousands of captives, and he didn't even get a little attention from him when he was waiting to be slaughtered.

Perhaps the scene was all in his imagination, all he perceived when he was dying.He was hungry and lustful in love with Ping An, so much in love that he wanted to secretly store the other party in his heart, and closed his eyes to watch carefully.

Close your eyes, and there is peace ahead.Ping An's eyebrows were sunken in the shadow under the brim of the military cap, and when he killed him, he didn't look at him, not because he couldn't bear it, but because he was disdainful.

Go around and around, back to the origin.Unattainable, my lord.

Xiao Lin scooped up the sugar water with a small spoon and fed it to him without letting him move.Because a bullet passed obliquely through his thigh, sticking to the bone and embedded in the buttocks.The military doctor operated on him to remove the bullet.After all, he is still lucky, because with the bullet hole as the center, the upper part is the lower abdomen, the left part is the leg bone, and the right part is even worse, which can directly smash the set of his family.

Xiao Lin stopped crying at this point, and laughed again with tears in his eyes: "You brag at home every day, boasting that you look like Zhao Zilong descending to the earth, this time is good, you almost didn't let someone shoot you into a eunuch!"

Gu Chengxi swallowed the sugar water one mouthful at a time, without saying a word indifferently.Too tired, although he has been away from Huo Xiangzhen for more than a year, every time he thinks of this person, his spirit is tense.Across the distance of thousands of miles, he waited in vain, longed, imagined, and was in a state of confusion—what a one-man show with drums and drums!

The effect of Dulantin gradually faded, and he began to feel the pain of the gunshot wound.He clenched his teeth and broke out in a cold sweat. Because he was still running a fever, he was always dizzy and seemed to be floating.Suddenly tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, he thought it was the pain that Ping An gave him, if it was not pain but death, then he would die, and Ping An would not care.How stupid and stubborn is Ping An, who doesn't know that he has hidden flowers full of flowers, waiting to bloom to him.

Gu Chengxi's breathing was steady, his expression was peaceful, only tears flowed silently, and the long stream wet his short temple hair.

After sleeping for a week, Gu Chengxi's fever completely subsided.The National Defense Army and the Zhi-Shandong Allied Forces were in a stalemate, while Lu Yongming died in the encirclement.He went back to Jining County in dismay, and he couldn't tell what was wrong. In short, he seemed to have lost his energy, and sat on the hot kang every day with his buttocks sideways. His military affairs were not wasted, but there was a lot less gossip.

At night when he has nothing to do, he often drinks a few cups of wine as if to relieve his boredom, usually not too much, but there are occasional exceptions.This day, Xiao Lin didn't stare at him for a while, and when he took his wine glass, he found that he was already deeply drunk.The half of his butt that had passed through the bullet landed on the kang. He stared blankly at the front, and suddenly said, "I just want... I just want..."

Seeing his appearance, Xiao Lin was suddenly a little scared: "What do you want?"

Gu Chengxi took a big satin-covered pillow in his hand, and said fiercely with his tongue: "I just want to find a rope and tie him tightly so that he can't move. Then—" He leaned forward and leaned the big pillow against the wall Yifang: "I set him up like this, and set him up firmly, so that he can't kick against me!"

Supporting the kang with his hands, he moved a bit, and he was facing the big pillow, and continued solemnly: "I'll look at him first, and I can look at him as I want, and when I've seen enough, I can touch him, and I can touch him as I want. I'm done. , I'll fuck him until dawn, keep fucking him obediently and honestly! Otherwise, I'd be too damn bad, I'd be so fucking sorry for myself. I won't close my eyes when I die !"

Xiao Lin didn't understand what he said, only knew that he was ruthless: "Ancestor, what are you talking about? Who offended you? Or did you fall in love with someone again?"

Gu Chengxi looked straight ahead with a red face, and stared fiercely: "Hmph! You killed me?!"

Xiao Lin knelt on the kang, and instead of clearing up the food and drinks on the table, he helped Gu Chengxi to lie down first: "I'm panicking when I hear you talking, please go to sleep quickly, be good!"

Gu Chengxi murmured and was still talking to himself, but he really got under the covers.Kobayashi told him to sleep with his eyes closed, but he didn't.Don’t dare to close your eyes, you are safe when you close your eyes. Ping An is on the shore condescendingly, holds a gun with one hand with eyes down, and shoots the ice surface with a shuttle of bullets. The marks on the double eyelids are long and deep, so ruthless, so beautiful .

As the end of the year approached, as if it was a tacit understanding, the war gradually had a tendency to cease.Gu Chengxi's gunshot wound has largely healed, as if the grass is returning to the sun, he categorically cut off the wine, and gradually regained his energy and spirit.

What really stimulated him was not the joy of the new year, but the turbulent world trend.Duan Zhongtian had already been beaten back to Shandong by the revolutionary army, and Shanxi, Henan, which had surrounded Zhili in Shandong, had already hoisted the blue sky and white sun flag.The National Defense Army was incorporated into the National Revolutionary Army, and he and Lian Yi were still commanders.Development comes first, revolution comes second. After being with Lian Yi for a long time, Gu Chengxi has consciously gained a lot of attention.After all, they are not their direct troops, they have to find ways to take care of themselves.

In a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is here.Gu Chengxi was going to celebrate the festival, and Huo Xiangzhen returned to Beijing, so naturally he would also celebrate the festival.As usual, Huo's mansion was decorated with flowers by Ma Congrong, but Huo Xiangzhen's joy was limited.Although Ma Congrong has always only paid attention to basic necessities of life, but at this time of year, he has to spare some time to study the current situation.

One day he was sitting at the adjutant's office, joking with the adjutants, when he heard that Huo Xiangzhen had returned from Grand Marshal Zhang's mansion, he got up and went to greet him.Back to the small building one after the other, he took off the cloak and hat for Huo Xiangzhen.Huo Xiangzhen sat in the small living room without saying a word, and went to take off her riding boots by herself.

Ma Congrong poured him a cup of hot tea, and asked softly, "Is there something on your mind?"

Huo Xiangzhen withdrew his hand and stretched his legs towards Ma Congrong: "Old Duan has been ill since he returned to Jinan, and now he can't get up anymore. The old man blamed him for his inability to resist, so he slapped his commander-in-chief and made him I concurrently."

With a little effort, Ma Congrong pulled off his heavy riding boots: "That's a good thing!"

Huo Xiangzhen showed off the snow-white foreign gauze socks on her feet, and the breeches neatly hugged her straight calves.He also wears less clothes in winter, because his body is strong, his firepower is strong, and he is not afraid of the cold.Ma Congrong touched his feet with the back of his hand, his riding boots were like ice, but his feet were warm.Holding the other riding boot with both hands, he continued to pull out, while hearing Huo Xiangzhen whisper: "What a fart! I have never dealt with the navy, let me take care of it now, who can I take care of? What if If it breaks, it's another crime!"

Ma Congrong took out a pair of slippers from under the sofa, then picked up a pair of riding boots and stood up straight: "Master, you've been a little pessimistic these days. You can't think like that before."

Huo Xiangzhen looked up at him unexpectedly: "Am I pessimistic?"

Ma Congrong took out his riding boots and handed them to the orderly, then turned around and came back.The uncle didn't let him sit down, but in order to show his intimacy, he simply leaned on his knees and bent down deeply, and was about to put his lips next to Huo Xiangzhen's ear: "Master, forgive me for saying something bold, if you feel that the situation is not good, how about Just follow the revolution."

Huo Xiangzhen sat upright, drinking hot tea one mouthful at a time.After a long silence, he finally put the empty teacup back on the tea table: "One minister does not serve two masters."

Ma Congrong lifted the teapot and poured him another cup: "Now there is no emperor, who is your master?"

Huo Xiangzhen took the teacup from his hand and took another sip: "I don't like the Kuomintang's way. I don't agree with their political views and ways, and we don't conspire with each other."

Ma Congrong spoke softly, stroking him with words: "You don't care what kind of political opinion it is, anyway, as long as we can occupy the territory and keep the army, isn't that all right?"

Huo Xiangzhen let out a soft breath: "Childish! If it really dominates the world, can it accommodate us to occupy territory and keep troops? I am from the government here, and it will be a matter of time before it cleans me up!"

Seeing that he was in a hurry, Ma Congrong immediately stopped talking sensibly.Ma Congrong patted his back comfortingly, and said with a smile: "It's still the uncle who is far-sighted. I'm not talking nonsense. Should the uncle go upstairs to have a rest, or sit downstairs and have something to eat? Going out in the morning, lunch is not yet available." Bar?"

Huo Xiangzhen raised her voice impatiently: "I don't rest, and I'm not hungry. I listened to the old man talking for a few hours outside, and you go on and on again when you get home! Why are you so talkative?"

Ma Congrong saw that he was going to bite Lu Dongbin with a dog, and immediately announced his retreat to avoid the sharp edge: "Stop talking, I really don't talk, I'm going out, sir, please be quiet."

When Ma Congrong left the living room, Huo Xiangzhen turned her brains wholeheartedly, analyzing the present, calculating the future, and recalling all kinds of mistakes made in the past - the biggest mistake was not being able to kill Gu Chengxi in Shandong.

He has always been right about things and not about people, and rarely hates anyone wholeheartedly. Wan Guoqiang almost killed him with a cannonball, but since he stepped down later, he has no intention of going to the door to seek revenge; He has been right for many years, but after leading his troops to escape from Zhili, he has no intention of continuing to hunt down the opponent.Of course, Gu Chengxi is not the same as the two above, but the difference is not the same. When Huo Xiangzhen mentions this person now, the first thing that comes to mind is his tens of thousands of people, and his character and mental state second.

With a lot of preoccupations, Huo Xiangzhen celebrated the new year.

On New Year's Eve, he stood in the corridor to watch the fireworks as usual. Red peonies, green peonies, and yellow peonies bloomed one after another and then went out, rendering the dark night sky colorful.After several years of fireworks, he really couldn't see the good, but he insisted on seeing the end.

Standing beside him, Ma Congrong got another blank check.

Ma Congrong still has the blank check from last year.There is no need to use it, because the property of the Huo family has already been controlled by him. Huo Xiangzhen always ignores it, and the seal is also under his management. He can write checks for himself at will, and write as many checks as he wants.Huo Xiangzhen is a stupid old man, he only knows silver dollars, not banknotes - to Huo Xiangzhen, banknotes are just numbers.Account management is the responsibility of the secretary-general, and paying the bills is the responsibility of the adjutants. Huo Xiangzhen is always penniless and has not touched any money for many years.

Putting the blank check in his arms, Ma Congrong regarded it as a souvenir.

On the first day of the new year, Huo Xiangzhen spent the day with a forced smile.When he entered the flower hall at night, he asked Ma Congrong to find someone to show him a movie.Yuan Man was still living on the flickering silver screen, and his life was short, because he couldn't help laughing when passing the camera, so Huo Xiangzhen kicked him out of the team at that time.

Looking at it, Huo Xiangzhen smiled, not realizing that Ma Congrong was already sitting beside her, and put a hand on her thigh.At the end of the film, Huo Xiangzhen on the screen smiled curiously at the camera, and Huo Xiangzhen off the screen excitedly slapped his thigh as if watching a comedy movie, which happened to hit the back of Ma Congrong's hand.After taking the picture, Huo Xiangzhen shook his head and smiled at Ma Congrong, "Interesting!"

Ma Congrong also smiled: "My uncle is happy to be a child!"

Huo Xiangzhen didn't realize that he was holding Ma Congrong's hand, and said excitedly: "This year will be peaceful, you can find that film company and make another one for me."

Ma Congrong let him hold it, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, it's on me."

After the New Year, the Northern Expedition began again.As if in the blink of an eye, the revolutionary army had reached Jinan.Duan Zhongtian took his wife and children east to Japan, while the tens of thousands of Zhili-Shandong coalition troops stationed in Shandong retreated into Zhili together.

The army was defeated like a mountain, tens of thousands of soldiers were chased by the revolutionary army, their helmets and armor were disarmed, carrying the bullets of the revolutionary army on their backs, and facing the bullets of the supervisory regiment, they would flee to death.Huo Xiangzhen went to the front line and killed two regiment commanders and a brigade commander with his own hands, but he still couldn't stop the army from being defeated.At the same time, Gu Chengxi's team entered the Zhili territory and marched all the way towards Baoding.
