Text: Chapter 40

On the very day of Sheng Yuanhang's death, newspapers of all sizes published in the most prominent position the following telegram: "Electrify the whole country: Urgent! The violent Japanese occupation of China's three eastern provinces, the discoloration of the territory, and the dying of the nation! Recently, there have been murders and arsons in Shanghai, and people have gone out in all directions, and the despicable and violent acts of the world have been carried out in every way. The gunboats came one after another, and all the marines landed ashore, and at 11:30 a.m. on the night of the 28th, they openly invaded our defense line in Zhabei in Shanghai, provoking us, and had already taken fire. Guang Nai and others belong to the military, but they know that it is their duty to defend themselves and defend the land, and they cannot give up. In order to save the country and protect the species, he resisted Japan, although he sacrificed to the point of death and bullet, he never flinched, so as to lose the personality of the soldiers of the Republic of China. This ambition and this heart can be seen in the world every day. The spirit of the ancestor of Yan Huang in the sky, the real formula depends on it!"

Qi Jianzhao's eyes saw that in the end, the names of the three generals Jiang, Cai, and Dai were signed on the sign, but there was no Bo Yuzheng, he was slightly stunned, and then quickly reacted, since Nanjing explicitly ordered the young marshal not to interfere, then he should only strategize in the rear, and it is indeed inconvenient to come forward to do such a thing.

"Jianzhao, do you really not tell the young marshal the news of Mr. Sheng's death?" Dr. Zhang asked in a whisper beside him.

"The war is raging, the young marshal can't be distracted," Qi Jianzhao said, sighing, "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and it is good, the young lady understands righteousness." ”

The doctor also sighed, "With this series of changes, the young marshal can't be by his side, and it's hard for her." Mr. Sheng's funeral, let's try to help as much as we can. ”

Qi Jianzhao nodded, "This is natural." ”

The doctor paused and said: "Now that Mr. Sheng has also passed away, I am not needed here, I plan to wait for his aftermath to help, and then go to the hospital in Shanghai to stay, the war has started, casualties are inevitable, I am worried that the medical force will not be enough." Although it is inconvenient for me to go to the front line to let the young marshal find out about Mr. Sheng, it is always good to be able to do a little bit for the country. ”

Qi Jianzhao didn't speak, just reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and a thousand words were contained in it.

Sheng Yuanhang's aftermath, because of the war and his last wishes, was done simply and solemnly.

The situation is turbulent, people's hearts are unstable, and each family has taken refuge and evacuated from each family, so there are not many people in the mourning hall who come to mourn, all of them are some of Sheng Yuanhang's close relatives and friends before his death.

Mrs. Sheng looked at the deserted mourning hall, and did not feel that sorrow came from it, although it was inconvenient to attack, she couldn't help but resent to see Yisheng frequently.

Originally, they planned to publish an obituary in the newspaper, but this dead girl didn't allow it, saying that she couldn't let Bo Yuzheng know that it distracted him.

Naturally, they resolutely disagreed, but who would have thought that she would let Qi Jianzhao come forward to let various newspapers in Shanghai suppress this obituary.

"Dad hurts you the most, but you just want to get your husband, completely ignoring him, do you still have a conscience, are you worthy of Dad?"

Sheng Yizhu was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped her, and Yisheng's face suddenly became red and swollen, but she didn't avoid it, nor did she shed tears, but she silently insisted.

When Sheng Yizhu's second slap came again, it was Ji Huan who stopped him coldly, "Enough! Bo Yuzheng is now guarding Shanghai, and he has a heavy responsibility, if he is distracted, the army's morale will be chaotic, and Shanghai will lose his father's last words, and even his last words said that he would save the money for the posthumous affairs to the army, and he would agree to do so." ”

Ji Huan's words are now very important in the Sheng family, since he said so, the matter had to be decided like this, and Yisheng's identity was placed there, even Sheng Yizhu was dizzy for a while, and when his emotions eased a little, he was like the rest of the people, although he hated it in his heart, he didn't dare to embarrass her again.

It's just that in the face of the deserted mourning hall at the moment, the silent condemnation is even more unbearable, although they all know that there are so few people, and it is mostly due to the current situation, because they have also made the phone calls that should be made, and even came to inform them in person, but after all, because of the lack of this routine procedure, they always feel that they owe their father, and they can't help but become angry.

Yisheng knelt in front of the spirit, quietly looked at the portrait of his father, and tears flowed to his heart, Dad, will you blame me? I am so unfilial.

Ji Huan looked at her thin and slightly trembling body, his palms secretly clenched into fists, forcibly restraining Chongdong, who wanted to hug her into his arms, and could only say the most ordinary comfort, "The current situation is like this, many families have moved their families out of Shanghai, so I can't come here today, it has nothing to do with whether or not to send an obituary, don't blame yourself." ”

Yisheng nodded slowly, closed his eyes, and did not speak.

After finishing Sheng Yuanhang's funeral, Qi Jianzhao looked at Yisheng's pale face and couldn't help but be a little worried, "Young lady, you have been working too hard these days, Jianzhao will go to Dr. Zhang to show you." ”

She shook her head slightly, "No, I'm fine, Dr. Zhang is now in the hospital to rescue the wounded, and he has more important patients than me." ”

Qi Jianzhao sighed in his heart, paused for a moment, and spoke again: "Does the young lady live in the Ji Mansion now?"

He asked a little cautiously, although the young marshal had explained that he wanted to follow the young lady, but in his selfish heart, he didn't want the young lady to stay in the Ji Mansion.

In case what they know is true, if the young lady has too much contact with the people of the Ji Mansion, especially now that the war against Japan is going on, it will undoubtedly bury endless hidden dangers around the young marshal.

Fortunately, Yisheng shook his head, "No, I'll wait for him at home." ”

Qi Jianzhao breathed a sigh of relief, but said again: "Young lady, the young marshal has ordered, now that the war has started, the Bo Mansion is afraid that it is not safe and can no longer live." If the young lady is willing, you can go to the Lu Mansion, Mr. Lu and the young marshal have been friends for many years, and in his place, the young marshal must rest assured. ”

In fact, this is also what Bo Yuzheng explained, and he also said hello to Lu Fengyang, although he couldn't let her evacuate Shanghai and go to a safer place, but he was here, trying his best to keep her safe.

The war has started, even though he will lead his troops to resist, but after all, it is an indisputable fact that the enemy is strong and I am weak, in case I know who lives in the Bo Mansion, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no action, so he can't let her continue to stay there.

He was even willing to let her stay in the Ji Mansion as she wished, as long as she wanted.

Although Yisheng didn't know what was going on, the conversation between Bo Yuzheng and Ji Huan that day, and what he said to her in the car, made her listen after all, and her father was gone, so she had no worries, and now she was so stiff, so she never planned to stay here.

In the face of Yizheng and Ji Huan's hard persuasion, she smiled and shook her head, but did not agree.

got in the car, but also listened to Bo Yuzheng's words, and did not go back to Bo Mansion, but drove towards Lu Fengyang's house.

When he arrived at the gate of the Lu Mansion, it was crowded with people, although Lu Fengyang saw a car coming, he didn't pay attention to it.

At his feet, there were several open boxes, in which there were machine guns, rifles, and other weapons of all kinds; at this moment, he was holding a machine gun in his hand and speaking to a group of subordinates: "Brothers, little Japan has deceived me too much, the soldiers in front are bleeding and killing the enemy, we are all Chinese, none of us are a bad race! From today on, you will take these guns and ammunition to Zhabei to participate in the war, if the army does not take you in, go to the rear of Little Japan and release guns, I don't believe that he will not be able to stir up his little devil and have no peace!" As long as you are willing to go, you will be given 100 yuan per person every day, and if any brother dies in the country, all the funeral expenses will be paid by the Qing Gang, and from now on, your family will be my Lu Fengyang's family! ”

They are all bloody men, all of them are to guard their wives and children's homes, and no one hesitates, rushing forward, picking up guns from the box one by one and holding them in their hands.

Lu Fengyang's face was solemn and moved, his eyes slowly patrolled over everyone present, and then, he saw Yisheng standing quietly next to the car behind them, his eyes were slightly red, and he smiled slowly at him.
