Tian Zhaonian stood in front of the window, watching the clouds in the sky floating slightly, behind him, Gu Changsheng was reporting to him the loss of the Western District, he looked outside as if he was distracted, and when Gu Changsheng finished reporting, he was still standing there, and only turned around for a long time before he turned around and asked Gu Changsheng: "Is there any news from our people recently?" Gu Changsheng stood in front of the desk and groaned, lowered his head slightly, and lowered his voice, and said: " Qi Jianyun has not made any moves recently, it is nothing more than to instruct his generals how to fight this battle, so he has stayed in the barracks for a month and has not returned to the city. When Tian Zhaonian heard him say this, his fingers tapped on the table without speaking, and Gu Changsheng said, "Is it him?"

"Fraud"?

Tian Zhaonian looked at him, stood up again, walked around the house a few times, and then walked to the window, Gu Changsheng felt that the air in the room had become dull, and suddenly Tian Zhaonian asked him: "Is it flat from the ferry?" Gu Changsheng immediately said: "Last night's incident, although the communication equipment has not been fully restored, but Brigade Commander Ying sent a telegram back as soon as possible, and lost a battalion. Tian Zhaonian said, "When will he come back?" Gu Changsheng replied: "The call said that he is returning in full." There was a calendar hanging on the wall, Tian Zhaonian stared at the calendar of this month, the day after tomorrow was the sixteenth, he remembered something and asked: "Where is Chen Yeping, is your person still by his side?" Gu Changsheng stepped forward and said: "Just an hour ago, I called and said that they had gone back, I guess, it should be Brigade Commander Ying who also called him." Tian Zhaonian looked down at the floor, he muttered for a long time, and just told Gu Changsheng: "Have you arranged everything there? Don't make any more mistakes." He returned to the couch.

Gu Changsheng let out a deep voice and said, "No, I have repeatedly checked my strategy plan, and there will be no mistakes in the precise planning." And...... And that time was because of the Japanese spy-" Gu Changsheng wanted to explain himself, but Tian Zhaonian gave him a look, and then said: "Don't blame others for your mistakes, it's just an excuse for your incompetence." Gu Changsheng lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry...... Warlord. Tian Zhaonian waved his hand and took a sip of tea, and then told him: "The person who told you that day - take care of the overall situation." These four words can be described as meaningful, Gu Changsheng's pupils lit up instantly, and he snapped up straight and said, "Yes, I understand." If you're okay, then I'll go down first. Tian Zhaonian nodded and let him go down.

Gu Changsheng closed the door and walked in the corridor, the stone in his heart fell, and he felt that walking was much easier than before, he took off his hat and slapped his face a few times, standing under the porch at the gate and looking up at the sun obscured by dark clouds.

The corners of his mouth suddenly rose, and he didn't even notice it. He was aggrieved, vaguely feeling that he was about to be thrown away by the Overseers as a pawn, but fortunately, God did not abandon him and put the opportunity in front of him.

His eyes were as cunning as before. Just three days ago, his cronies reported to him that Qi Jianyun and the permanent overseer Lu Zhanting went out of the same door, and this Lu overseer is the leader of the southwestern permanent warlords, this person has been reluctant to participate in the warlord wars in the provinces, but this time he received a telegram from Qi Jianyun, the telegram pointed out that Tian Zhaonian has been arrogant in recent years, and Lu Zhanting has heard of it, but he believes in Buddhism and pays attention to harmony, but now the junior brother called him for help, and he finally agreed.

Gu Changsheng seemed to have seen a win-win situation for himself. Tian Zhaonian has been extremely trusting in Shu He, an old comrade-in-arms, and Chen Yeping, a newborn calf who came out of nowhere, and gradually did not reuse him, this time, he will definitely be able to make the overseers trust him again, if not, when the Chang Department and the Fu Department join forces, Chen Yeping, who he has worked so hard to put in the Western District, will still have a life to come back?

Ying Shuhe will definitely be sent by him to deal with the two armies...... In this way, Tian Zhaonian can understand who is the one who can help him accomplish great things.

Gu Changsheng smiled contemptuously, and then swaggered out. When Shen Danyu first came here, she had nightmares every night, repeating the same scene, sweating her clothes and hair, so she called the medical staff to prescribe sedatives for her, and it has been almost two months now.

And in the past few days, she feels that she is changing, she has fewer nightmares when she sleeps, and the occasional appearance is only flashed in her mind once, and she can't stir up the big waves in her heart.

This change made her whole person relaxed and cheerful. After the kindergarten has been renovated, most of the children inside have healed and are shining, and it seems that there will be no more fighting in the near future.

However, the city began to spread that the Japanese were going to enter Fulin, and some of them were stationed in a temporary leased office, and there were rumors that Qi Jianyun had a close relationship with the Japanese officers, and because of this time the foreigners were pressing and the northern army was eyeing him, Qi Jianyun was forced to join forces with the Japanese Minister of War on both sides...... But rumors are rumors after all, chasing after the wind.

When Shen Danyu and a group of nurses were sitting on the stone table and chatting about the rumors in the city recently, from a distance, she saw Fang Shiyan walking in from the gate and walking towards her.

She hadn't seen him for a long time, like a kitten seeing her beloved little dried fish, and running around the stool towards him.

Shen Danyu said: "Why are you here? Didn't you let people come the day before yesterday?" Fang Shiyan said: "Didn't you say that there were a few people of unknown origin in the war church here two days ago? I'm worried, so I'm going to come and see you." Shen Danyu mouthed

"Oh", but her heart blossomed, and she said, "But if you come out now, won't it hinder your work?" she leaned her neck forward, her voice as soft as possible.

Fang Shiyan looked at her appearance and chuckled, shook his head and said, "I haven't had a job recently, and ...... Just as I have something to tell you—" His voice slowed to the last sentence.

When Shen Danyu heard him say that he had something to tell her, a thought flashed in his heart, and he couldn't wait to ask him: "What's the matter?" Fang Shiyan just didn't answer, stood up and looked around, they sat under a big tree, the grass in front of them, put a few benches, and the lush greenery made this place more vibrant, he said: "The environment here is really good." Shen Danyu also stood up and said, "Yes." Thanks to the good place you picked. They looked at each other and smiled.

Shen Danyu took him around the church, and when she came back, she saw Pipsqueak standing at the gate looking at her, she beckoned to him, Pipsqueak immediately ran over like a fawn, she squatted down and said, "Look at your sweaty head, where are you going to play again?" Pippi looked at her with a grin, and she pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

Seeing this, Fang Shiyan also squatted down and asked him: "Are you Pippi?" Pippi looked at the strange man in front of him and didn't recognize his life, and said with a smile: "You are the big brother that my sister often talks about?" Fang Shiyan looked at Shen Danyu, Shen Danyu avoided his gaze, he smiled and lowered his head to Pippi and said, "That's right, then you tell me, what did my sister say about me?" Pippi tilted his head and put his finger on his chin, Shen Danyu blushed, only to see Pippi suddenly say: "I won't tell you-" With that, Pipsqueak ran a long way away and turned around and grimaced at them.

Fang Shiyan smiled and looked back to see Shen Danyu's eyes overflowing with joy, and then she looked at him again. He chuckled in his heart, and the idea he had made up his mind suddenly shook a little, and he couldn't bear it.

Shen Danyu looked back at him, the two of them stood up, and took a few steps forward, Shen Danyu said: "You just said that you had something to tell me, can you say it now?" Fang Shiyan turned his eyes at this time, looked up at the big bell on the church, the church that was built just a few years ago did not have a repaint on the outside of this bell, it looked old and dilapidated, he stood facing the church for a while, and said: "This church was built eight years ago, I have known the priest here for more than a year, he is not bad to you, right?" Shen Danyu nodded and said: "The people here take good care of me." Fang Shiyan didn't say anything about this, in fact, she thought that he would tell him how he met the priest, and why did he come here?

But he had no intention of going on, and she couldn't ask questions. The church bell rang, and Fang Shiyan was not in a hurry to go back and planned to accompany Shen Danyu well, so the two of them inadvertently walked around the side of the church while walking and chatting.

At this moment, the priest came out of the chapel and met him, and Fang Shiyan greeted him and said, "Long time no see." The priest was overjoyed, looked at him and said, "I didn't expect to see you again after a quick farewell last time, but I didn't know that you were back until you sent Miss Shen here two months ago." Fang Shiyan said: "Father, you haven't changed at all. They had said a few words, and the priest invited him to lunch, so that he could catch up.

The priest had a small dining room for the guests, and he ate the same meals as everyone else, but the priest made an exception and opened a bottle of wine that he had brought from his hometown.

During the banquet, they talked, and finally the priest said something that had happened here recently, Shen Danyu heard him say to Fang Shiyan: "This month, people with guns have fought on the street several times, and people are afraid to go out, Shiyan, if it is convenient for you, you can take Miss Shen to a safer place...... Shen Danyu looked at the priest, and then looked at Fang Shiyan, saw that his face was not shocked, and then said: "I know, I am also thinking about this matter during this time." After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Danyu and smiled slightly, and Shen Danyu immediately lowered his head.

As the sun set, they sat on the stone steps all afternoon, and from time to time flocks of birds flew by in the sky, because they were too high to be more than a few small black dots.

Shen Danyu saw that the sky was getting dark, so he asked him, "When are you leaving?" Fang Shiyan just lay on the ground with his face to the sky, his arm as a pillow for two hours, he didn't speak, and Shen Danyu only sat quietly beside him.

He slowly opened his eyes, squinted at the setting sun, and he came together, and then said, "I'll send you back first." He held out a hand, and she realized that he was going to take her back to the room first, and she gave him his hand, and the two of them walked on the path.

Halfway through, Fang Shiyan said: "You said that some time ago, a few people came to the church, and there was a man who was shot and raised here for many days?" Shen Danyu immediately nodded and said: "Those people don't report their names, they still have guns, they are very domineering and unreasonable-fortunately, in the end they left without doing anything...... Fang Shiyan was thinking about something, at this time Shen Danyu suddenly stopped, she thought of something important, grabbed his arm with her backhand, Fang Shiyan was a little surprised, Shen Danyu stared at him and said: "That's right-Feng Shen...... Feng Shen is also here...... "Fang Shiyan seemed to have heard something incredible, and said in surprise: "What did you say?" Shen Danyu said: "I've seen him here..." Fang Shiyan asked: "Is it? Where is it?" Shen Danyu continued: "It was the day when there was a gun on the street, and I wanted to look for him when I went back to church, but I couldn't find him no matter how I looked for him...... He seemed to say goodbye...... The priest also said that he did not know when he left...... I've been worried about whether something will happen to him......" Hearing her say until the end, Fang Shiyan gradually relaxed, and just comforted her and said, "He will definitely protect himself when he is such a big person...... You don't have to worry, by the way, why is Feng Shen here?" Shen Danyu shook her head, she didn't know the specific reason.

In the end, the two of them had already walked downstairs, and Shen Danyu opened the door and invited him in. Fang Shiyan stepped into the room, he had already smelled the fragrance in the room, Shen Danyu walked to the table and poured water.

Fang Shiyan had something in his heart, he repeatedly recalled this matter in his mind and then calculated how to say it, he took two steps forward, looked at the room, the room was neat and clean, and there was a freesia in the vase at the head of the bed, Fang Shiyan looked at her back and said, "Xiao Yu, I found the clue of the person who harmed your family-" Shen Danyu happened to turn around, and when he heard this, he was suddenly displaced, his hand trembled, the cup accidentally fell to the ground, and she was not in a hurry when the water was spread on the ground, Shen Danyu stayed in place for a while, and then finally faced him.

Shen Danyu asked, "Who is it?" Her voice trembled slightly, Fang Shiyan hesitated for a moment at this time, but Shen Danyu couldn't wait, her eyes were full of hatred, standing close to him.

He said truthfully: "I checked many people, and finally I found the chief who carried out that matter, his name is Huang Zitang, who was originally a small bureau chief in Anzhen, and was transferred to the post of director for less than a year, and the position is the director of the department. Shen Danyu thought in her mind, she was stunned in her heart, and suddenly thought of something and said: "Huang ...... I've seen him at home a few times before...... Why did he do this? What is my father sorry for him?!" Fang Shiyan stabilized her, grabbed her arm to prevent her from falling, and continued: "I found that Huang Zitang, and bribed his family driver to take him to a small forest, I asked him, at first he never said anything, as if he was guarding some important secret, but he was timid and afraid of death, I threatened him, and then he dared to let go, I promised him never to go, and he told me the truth—he got instructions from above......" Shen Danyu was already in a mess, Fang Shiyan paused for a moment and said: "Huang Zitang said that the person who instructed him was an officer from the headquarters, that person was named Chen Yeping, and he was now the head of the Operations Department of the Western District, but I went to check this person, he is actually Tian Zhaonian's person, and his identity is very complicated, but he is very good at Tian Zhaonian." Later, I found out that his family was originally wealthy, and then his family went bankrupt, and less than half a year after he came back, the people who had business dealings with his family before were unlucky, and his family opened a bank, which had nothing to do with him for a long time, but a new director of the bank a year ago, and the backer behind that person, was him. Shen Danyu shouted: "No! No, I don't even know this person!" She suddenly felt that the sky was dark, her eyes were dark, and many irrelevant people were spinning in her mind, Fang Shiyan had actually thought that her emotions would collapse, he said: "Maybe he thinks that your father has something to do with the bankruptcy of his family...... Shen Danyu was grief-stricken, Fang Shiyan stopped talking, he knew how sad she was now, and comforted: "Xiaoyu." It's okay...... It's already over......" Shen Danyu suddenly looked at him, her eyes were red and wide, full of unwillingness, she didn't want to swallow this breath, and said, "Go over...... How could it pass? I had nothing left...... My home is gone...... How can I still have the face to see my parents under the Yellow Spring?!" Her tears were like bursting the embankment, she squatted down weakly, her body trembled slightly, but now the only thing she could do was cry bitterly...... The rest can't do anything...... But like a drought, her tears had long since dried up, she thought of something, grabbed Fang Shiyan, and said: "Shiyan, I beg you, please help me......" Fang Shiyan was like a thunderbolt in the sky, he looked at the familiar person in front of him, but now in her eyes, there was no trace of weakness, only helplessness and despair...... Then there was the fireworks of hatred that were spreading in those eyes.

Fang Shiyan said a few more words, but Shen Danyu seemed to have made up his mind never to regret it again, and he didn't listen to it at all. When she held a newspaper clipping from the newspaper in her hand, her back was numb and then cold, her nails were deeply embedded in the newspaper, her wrists were shaking, she recognized the face she had just seen, and there was a little surprise in her eyes: "It's him......"
