Chapter 3: Sisterhood and Childly Infatuation [Act 4] Maze (19)

Having truly reconciled with Ancoste, Christina was also relieved and turned to a brighter mood. Humming happily a fragment of Wagner's famous song "Tristan und Isolde"[116], she dialed the duty phone of the dormitory department of the University of Berlin, and left a message to the dormitory staff to tell Alexandra, who was still recuperating, that she should do her best to find out who was behind the incident in the near future and seek justice for herself and her friends.

The autumn breeze swept through the trees on both sides of the street, carrying countless dead branches and leaves, and resounding between heaven and earth. Blonde-haired and blue-eyed pedestrians walked forward with their collars up, scarves, briefcases under their armpits, or holding the food they had lined up to buy, such as bread and canned food.

Along the way, Xu Pingjun and the three of them were silent and hurried. It wasn't until he passed through the Brandenburg Gate and walked on the street under the linden that Lu Jun, who was admiring the autumn colors along the way, broke the dull atmosphere and looked sideways at Xu Pingjun: "Jingyu, can Lu take the liberty of asking: Since Mislin and you are currently friends with each other, what about her usual dealings, ideology or living habits?" ”

Xu Pingjun glanced at Lu Jun lightly, and scolded the other party for why he didn't come forward before and let him be bullied by others since he cared about his compatriots at this time, which made people feel hypocritical and ridiculous. She raised her eyebrows and snorted softly, and asked instead of answering: "Brother Jieli, because Mia is my friend, I must protect her Yiqiē**." So, don't you think that's a bit abrupt? ”

Seeing that the other party still did not call Lin Jingru's expression but her German name, Lu Jun pursed his lips and smiled, never angry and did not ask the reason. He lowered his eyes and groaned, and deflected the conversation: "Before, Lu Mou saw that you slapped Mingzhen three times without hesitation for Mislin, which is enough to conclude that the friendship between the two of you is by no means a day or two." I was curious and puzzled: now in the mouths of the anti-Japanese people, Lin Zhengdao, Liang Hongzhi and others are notorious. In case you, the daughter of an anti-Japanese general, are too familiar with it, and accidentally reaches the ears of the chairman of the committee and Director Dai [117], it will most likely be a big impact on Ling Zun. ”

Xu Pingjun remembered Lu Jun's words in that classroom, and quickly understood the meaning of his words - there was a pair of innocent men with slanted sword eyebrows in this life, who seemed to be concerned about her and her relatives by analyzing the situation, but in fact, they inquired about the reason for his close relationship with Lan Yuwei, who resembled Lin Jingru. She met the eyes of Lu Jun and Kuang Gongdao, and said with a straight face: "Two brothers, Lin Zhengdao is indeed a traitor who is scolded by the whole country. But whether 'she' is a traitor or not, and I don't know with whom I have always been an alumnus? I don't want to think about how I Xu is the kind of person who is willing to go along with traitors? ”

Exegesis:

[116] The opera is a masterpiece by the famous German composer Wilhelm Richard Wagner, which tells the story of the tragic love between Prince Tristan, the nephew of the Duchy of Cornwall, and the Irish princess Isolde, and is also a portrayal of the love affair between Wagner and Mathilde Wiesendonk in reality. It is the most rigorously structured three-act play in all of Wagner's theatrical works, and is regarded as the end of classical romantic music and the beginning of new music.

[117] Dai Li, whose name is Yunong, is known for his cruelty and ruthlessness, and is known as "Chiang Kai-shek's sword" and "China's Gestapo". In 1938, the former "China Renaissance Society" (also known as the "Blue Coat Society") Special Service was expanded to the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission (hereinafter referred to as the Military Administration) and served as the deputy director, responsible for the Military Coordination Bureau's espionage and investigation behind enemy lines and Sino-US intelligence cooperation during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. From the point of view of future generations, Dai Li can be said to be a rare intelligence genius.
