Chapter 4: Thick or Light Shadows (18)

The driver looked out and said, "I don't know, but this is the boundary of the city defense headquarters, and the road has been closed from time to time these days." ”

"City Defense Command?" Jingyi thought about it, indeed. Yanda is indeed close to the City Defense Headquarters. "Oh, that's right."

"In the past few days, the city defense headquarters has changed its new master, and it is naturally heavily guarded." The driver said, looked out again, and said, "Miss, do you want to go another way?" Since the road is closed, there must be something going on, and if you can't get in or out, you can delay it. ”

Jingyi said: "I don't have any delays. Do you know who the city defense commander has changed? Jingyi thought to herself, the main gate of the city defense headquarters is not on this street, even if the road is closed, it will be closed to a limited extent, the big deal is that the vigilance is upgraded, and it should not be hindered.

"General Tao Si Tao." The driver was about to receive the money handed over by Jing Yi, but he didn't want Jing Yi to listen to him, so the hand holding the money stopped in mid-air.

"Who?" Jingyi thought she had misheard, "Tao Si? Tao Si is not ......"

She wanted to say that Tao Si was not the representative of the Tao Department in Beijing, why did he suddenly become the commander of the city defense? This is also unbelievable...... Jingyi was secretly pondering, and the driver began to talk about pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

"yes, that sounds fresh, right? It turned out that he was just a military representative of the Tao Department in Beiping, and he joined the Duan Department at some point and became a commander. Duan Fengxiaocai, the second son of the former city defense commander, was appointed chief of staff. Originally, it should be Commander Xiao Duan to replace Commander Old Duan, or Commander Duan. I just don't know why, a man suddenly popped up. But General Tao has a good way. Within a few days of taking office, the situation in the city of Peiping stabilized. But those who will be under martial law at night do not know how long it will be. Seeing that Jingyi seemed to be very interested in this, the driver said a few more words, but his eyes were fixed on the banknote in Jingyi's hand, "Miss, this...... I am."

Jing Yi came back to his senses, hurriedly put the banknote in his hand, checked the things he was carrying, and got out of the car.

She was looking down and slapping the dust off her body.

Although the taxi was clean inside and out, she always felt a little dirty.

Besides, the fall at Dai's house was not ruthless, she looked at the hem of the skirt, and there was really a piece of dust.

She patted as she walked forward with her handbag.

Yan Da and the City Defense Headquarters are only one street apart, not far from each other.

Jing Yi looked at the tall gray brick wall of the city defense headquarters, and still didn't believe that Tao Si would become the supreme commander here, isn't it, the military power of Beiping City is in his hands right now? How could such a big game of chess be played? Even if the Duan Department and the Tao Department are good friends, how could Duan Guixiang let Tao Si take over the class that should have been taken over by his son? There must be a lot of articles in this. Could it be related to the mutiny a while ago? Duan Guixiang and Tao Shengchuan are not the same, he is more exquisite, and he used to have a good relationship with the forces of the Southern Faction, Guanwai and the Tao Department. This time, the southern faction took Beiping City almost without a single shot, because of the mutiny launched by Duan Guixiang, otherwise, the artillery siege of the city, this battle is not known to be fought in what year and month, and it is not known what will be destroyed inside and outside Beiping City. But now it seems that Duan Guixiang should have paid a considerable price for this mutiny. It's just a secret, maybe Duan Guixiang has already ......

"Stop!" Someone shouted in front.

Jingyi was interrupted by this loud shout, and as soon as she stood up, she saw that there was a checkpoint in front of her.

"Take out your papers." The gun-wielding sentry said to her.

The road here is not narrow, the roadblocks are quite wide, and there are many sentinels, three layers inside and three layers outside. Most of the pedestrians who came in and out were students, and they all took out their documents to show the sentries. Jingyi found that although the color of the sentry's uniform was still green, the epaulette and cockade had been replaced with the plum blossom pattern of the Northern Expedition and the Southern Army. She watched the sentry in this way, and did not show her papers. The sentry was already impatient, "Hey, papers! ”

"I don't have papers." Jingyi said. It's only been a short time since she entered the school, and she hasn't gotten her student ID yet.

"You won't be allowed to go in without a document." The butt of the sentry pointed outwards and said arrogantly.

Jingyi frowned slightly and said, "I'm ......"

"It doesn't matter who you are, you can't go in without documents."

"So, sir, tell me when this road will be closed?" Jingyi asked.

"Why are you so wordy, let you go, you will go. Be careful to arrest you. "The sentinels are fierce.

"You're not afraid to arrest me?" Jingyi said softly.

As soon as the sentry was about to open his mouth to scold her, he saw Jing Yi's face straightened, and he suddenly had an inviolable look. He was stunned, muttered, and put the rifle horizontally to his chest, preventing Jingyi from passing. At this time, someone in the sentry post blew a spoon, and the sentry looked back, and before standing upright, he did not forget to drive Jingyi away.

Jingyi was on fire, so she had to stand aside. Only then did I see that two jeeps with military flags drove over. She was standing on the side of the road, looking in the direction of the Songfeng Bookstore, and then looking at the way she came, not knowing whether to grind her teeth with the sentry for a while, or go out and wait for the family's car to come...... Just then, the jeep drove up to her.

Jingyi stepped back, and was about to leave, when she heard a gentle voice asking, "Miss Cheng?" ”

Jingyi stopped, and she looked up at the person.

was stunned, and immediately recognized that the person in a dark gray military uniform with a golden ribbon in front of him was Tao Si.

Tao Si ignored the salute of the brushes and brushes next to him, and said to Jingyi with a smile: "Why is it so coincidental to meet Miss Cheng here." ”

"I made an appointment with my brother to meet at Songfeng Bookstore. I didn't expect the road to be closed here, and I couldn't enter without a document, so I didn't know what to do. Unexpectedly, I would meet Commander Tao. Jingyi said softly.

"Acting Commander." Tao Si heard that the taste she had bitten the three words of Commander Tao was not quite right. He looked around and understood what Jing Yi meant, so he smiled and beckoned, "Zuo Zhicheng!" ”

"Yes!" Adjutant Zuo Zhicheng hurried over.

He turned around and said, "Withdraw." ”

Zuo Zhicheng said in a low voice: "But these days, ......"

"I said a long time ago, don't be so scorpion-stinging and embarrassing me. I don't want to say that I don't work here, even if I work here, don't start being vigilant for ten miles and eight miles. Let the people inside and outside the city think of me? Are you afraid of death? Tao Si said.

"Isn't that a sound to cover people's eyes and ears?" Zuo Zhi became enlightened.

"Less fart. Get lost! Tao Si scolded.

Zuo Zhicheng turned around and ran away, Tao Si turned around and saw Jingyi, only to realize that it was inappropriate for him to scold just now, so he cleared his throat and said, "Get in the car, Miss Cheng, I'll take you a while." ”

"No need, Mr. Tao. It's just two steps away. Jingyi didn't expect Tao Si to be so kind and straightforwardly refuse his kindness, she was a little embarrassed.

Tao Si knew that she felt inconvenient, so he waved his hand and let the car follow, and he accompanied Jingyi in the direction of the bookstore.

In fact, it was very close to the road, Jingyi walked beside Tao Si, uncomfortable, and after walking two steps, he said, "Mr. Tao......"

Tao Si smiled and said, "If you call me Mr. Tao, I don't know what to do." Presumably, we have only met once or twice, and you find it inconvenient. In the future, you will call me second brother, don't be polite to me. ”

Jingyi heard him say this, and didn't know how to answer, but fortunately she had already arrived at the door of Songfeng Bookstore, Tao Si saw that she was embarrassed, so she stopped in time and said, "I'll let the car wait for you here, and let them send you after shopping at the bookstore." ”

"The family's car will come to pick up my brother and me. Don't bother. Of course, Jingyi couldn't call the second brother to come, so she had to use your pronoun.

Tao Si felt more and more interesting about this girl, as if she intended to make her uncomfortable, and said, "Hey, anyway, they follow me back, and they are idle." It's better to just wait here. It's also my responsibility to get you home safely. In this way, I still have official business, so I will miss the company first. As he spoke, he stopped, nodded his head, and got into the car.

Jingyi saw his car leave quickly, and the soldiers in the car who were left behind got out of the car and stood guard in front of the bookstore. Even the guys from the bookstore looked out, which made her even more uncomfortable, so she had to lower her head and enter the door of the bookstore, raised her eyes, and immediately saw Zhi Shen's figure, she hurriedly ran over and shouted: "Brother Jiu." ”

Zhishen turned around and said with a smile: "I was still thinking just now, I don't know how you can get in, you have to go out, you can't get into the bookstore in a hurry, you will come while talking." ”

Jing Yi turned her face to the side of the door and said, "Look." ”

He snorted cautiously and said, "Is it ......?"

Jing Yi told the process again, and Zhi Shen laughed while listening, Jing Yi said angrily: "You are still laughing!" ”

Zhi Shen couldn't help but smile and said, "The second brother of the Tao family is really straightforward. Others are not bad. ”

Jing Yi was silent.

Zhi Shen knew that Jing Yi was upset, so he didn't say anything, pointed to the bookshelf in front of him, and said, "Since I came to buy books, it's not a good choice, and it's too late to go home later." Hey, what's the smell of incense sticks on your body? ”

Jingyi came to buy books as a pretext, and was about to leave with a few books, but when she was asked by Zhishen, she couldn't help but feel empty, so she said: "What kind of incense smell?" ”

"Do you have an anatomy class today? I've heard that your medical students burn incense and worship before they go to anatomy class. Zhishen was joking, but seeing that Jingyi's expression was a little flustered, he couldn't help but be suspicious, frowned and asked, "Huh?" What happened to you? ”
