Chapter 18: A Thousand Turns (19)
The kiss is long and long, like a long and wide river, with no end...... Jingyi nestled in Tao Xiang's arms, not moving for a long time.
Tao Xiang raised his wrist and looked at his watch, the pale green fluorescence showed the time. It's silent outside. Of course, at this time, no one will come to disturb them. There is only the barking of dogs, one after another. I don't know what struck me...... He breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them were close together, and Jing Yi could really feel the tension in Tao Xiang's body. The tip of her nose suddenly soured. Even at such a time, he still could not completely let his guard down...... She kissed him gently. Tao Xiang rubbed the short hair on her forehead and didn't make a sound.
The two lay silently together for a while, and Jing Yi got up first. Tao Xiang sat up, watched her grope in the dark shadows to sort out her clothes, and said slowly, "You can't be here." He"
Jingyi lowered her head and carefully fastened the button, for fear that she would make a mistake and would be laughed at when she went out. Fortunately, I cut my hair short and combed it to recover...... She heard what Tao Xiang said, but she didn't care.
"Well, it's not convenient to direct all the women in and out. I can go to the hospital and stay with the nurses. The nurses were very kind. Jingyi said.
"You go back to Lanzhou." Tao Xiang said.
"Hmm...... Are you used to eating here? You have to drink more water and smoke less......" she said, looking back at Tao Xiang, only to see him sitting on the marching bed and not moving, "You go out quickly, the meal should be ready." Da"
"You listen to me," Tao Xiang stood up, walked up to Jing Yi, and whispered, "Once there are wounded people who need to be transported back to Lanzhou by special plane, you must follow back." This is not a place for you to stay for long. ”
Jingyi took two steps back, opened the door of room 61, and the light shone on the two of them, looking at each other, they both felt that they were suddenly dazzling. Jing Yi carefully looked at Tao Xiang, who had lost weight and looked particularly strong, and said softly: "I've come here, and if I go back like this, aren't you afraid that people will say that I waste wartime materials and regard war as child's play?" These reporters accompanying the army came back with an article, which is even more ugly than the 'Beacon Opera Princes' in ancient times...... And the drama in the future, you can't expect it. ”
Tao Xiang said: "No matter what they say, I have to fight the battle." They didn't send me money and food, they didn't carry a rifle for me, and they shook a pen, but they wanted to point fingers at me. ”
Jing Yi shook her head and said, "It's better to be cautious." They are known as the uncrowned kings. The pen affects the hearts of the people and the people, and it is not careless. Again...... The commissioner is now in Lanzhou City. ”
Tao Xiao frowned, his face showed unhappiness, but he also understood Jing Yi's intention to remind him, and nodded: "I have a number." ”
Jingyi came over and sorted out his uniform. After carefully looking up and down, left and right, and making sure that there was nothing wrong with him, he said, "Okay." ”
Tao Xiang also wanted to order her to go back to Lanzhou sooner, but suddenly saw Jingyi's short hair, and the calm and calm face, and swallowed the words.
Seeing that he no longer insisted, Jing Yi smiled at him, turned around and opened the door, stepped out first, and whispered, "I'll go and see how Mrs. Zhou's meal is prepared." ”
Tao Xiang followed out and saw her slender figure, dancing through the courtyard in the clear moonlight...... He stood down, lit a cigarette, and then shouted "Atul", and within three seconds, Tu Huyi hurriedly came out of the south wing, trotted all the way to him, and stood upright.
"Qishao, what are your orders?" Tu Huyi didn't pant anymore, and looked at Tao Xiang with a smile.
Tao Xiang walked down the steps, looked at him, frowned, and said, "Hippie smiling." ”
"Yes, what do you have to tell the Seventh Youth?" Tu Huyi smiled.
Tao Xiang looked at him and asked, "Are the injuries healed?" ”
Tu Huyi patted his arm and said, "It's totally fine." ”
"That's good." Tao Xiang took a puff of his cigarette and looked thoughtfully at Tu Huyi's injured arm, "What about them?" What about Ma Zhongcheng? ”
"It's all there. Waiting for the seven young commanders to order. Deputy Commander Ma said, I'm afraid there will be an all-night meeting tonight, so people can prepare more food ......," Tu Huyi said.
Tao Xiang nodded, waved him to go, and paced in the courtyard by himself. Soon, with the sound of tapping footsteps and different voices, Ma Zhong became the leader, and a group of officers came out of the south wing and walked towards him. When they saw him, they all saluted. Tao Xiang's gaze swept over their faces one by one - in the days when he came out, he was born and died, and he slept in the open, these iron-clad men were all dark and thin, but he was very strict with his appearance, even if they were sleepy and lacking, they were all neat and looked very heroic...... Tao Xiang felt a little proud in his heart.
"Where's Mr. Xiao?" Seeing that Dunhuang was not among them, he asked.
"I'll please." Ma Xingjian said immediately.
Tao Xiang waved his hand and asked Ma Zhongcheng to take people in first, and he waited for Ma Xingjian to invite Dunhuang. He stretched out his hand, shook it with Dunhuang, and said with a smile: "I was supposed to have a serious banquet to welcome, but in wartime, I had no choice but to give in and wronged you." ”
Xiao Dunhuang smiled and said: "In special periods, the commander should not be polite. Even Mrs. Tao worked hard, galloping thousands of miles to help, how could Dunhuang be virtuous, and seriously worked hard to mobilize the public, but only to do her best. ”
Tao Xiang listened to the meaning of Xiao Dunhuang's words, nodded and said: "Neizi is willful, let Mr. Xiao laugh." He made a gesture of invitation and invited Dunhuang to the main room. Ma Xingjian followed them and also entered the house. Tao Xiang saw that Ma Zhongcheng and the others were still standing and not seated, so they let them do it in turn.
After Dunhuang also sat down, Tao Xiang formally introduced him to the senior officers present, and said: "Dunhuang studied in the East, followed General Liao Zhiyuan for many years, fought in the south and the north, and made great achievements. I'm afraid you've heard of it for a long time. Today, it is a blessing to have the reinforcement of Dunhuang Jun. I hope that you will cooperate with them to quell the rebels, and this is just around the corner. ”
Xiao Dunhuang listened to Tao Xiang's introduction, although it was concise but grand, and did not mention his own experience as a bandit. I know that this legend, which is no less wonderful than the previous battles, may really become a secret history in the future. And at present, these high-ranking officers are all capable generals under Tao Xiang, just from their eyes, it is not difficult to see the doubts, what will happen in the future, it is really unpredictable at this time. When Dunhuang thought of this, he still felt a little strange in his heart...... Tao Xiang seemed to know his thoughts and nodded at him. Only then did Dunhuang get up and salute you.
At this time, the guards outside reported that dinner was delivered.
Tao Xiang said: "This meal is a veritable 'dinner'. Come, eat first. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, and the guards helped the landlady, Mrs. Zhou, bring in a food box and put it on the table. Mrs. Zhou explained with a smile that the preparations were hasty, and asked Commander Tao and the generals to use them. As soon as Tao Xiang was about to speak, he saw Jing Yi, who came in with Mrs. Zhou, also carrying a big tray.
Jingyi stepped into the door, but before she could stand firmly, everyone present stood up with the exception of Tao Xiang and Xiao Dunhuang.
