The palm wind swept onto Jing Yi's face, and a small shadow made her eyes less uncomfortable when she opened them. She heard Tao Xiang say in a deep voice in displeasure: "Lianggong, the lights should be turned off on the ship." ”

Jing Yi heard this name and suddenly felt familiar, and before she could remember who Tao Xiang was talking to, his hand fell, and the light reappeared in front of her eyes - as bright as day here, there were several men in naval uniforms, seeing her looking at herself, the leader smiled and said, "Mrs. Tao, hard work." ”

Jingyi looked at Tao Xiang.

Tao Xiang let go of her hand and introduced her: "Pei Lianggong, commander of the base, Dong Dingyi, captain of the Zhiyuan ship, and Xie Jingwu, deputy captain of the Zhiyuan ship...... Why did you all come down? He"

"Mrs. Tao come here, how can we not come and welcome you? I'm sorry, Mrs. Tao, Commander Tao didn't mean to be alarmed, and he didn't say that you personally brought someone here, and sure enough, he came down quietly, and we were honest, we just heard the news. I have not been far away, and I ask Mrs. Tao to forgive me. When Pei Lianggong said this, he was serious, and he didn't look at Tao Xiang who was facing him with a straight face, but only smiled at Jing Yi slightly, looking at the famous Mrs. Tao Commander.

Jingyi smiled and nodded.

These are all new people, but fortunately, Tao Xiang is here, although he seems more serious than Fang Cai for some reason. His tone had hardened a little, but the light had shone where they were. In this way, if all of a sudden all the lights were lit on the shore of the ship, he would immediately be furious...... Jingyi took Tao Xiang's arm and talked softly with Pei Lianggong.

Pei Lianggong looked older than Tao Xiang, and while talking to her, he was concerned about whether the road was going well, and invited her and Tao Xiang to get on the ship. Since Tao Xiang had already reminded him, Dong Dingyi, who was standing behind Pei Lianggong, had already quietly gestured to the adjutant, and the lights were extinguished one by one.

Jing Yi looked at Tao Xiang quietly. He was silent, the displeasure had dissipated just now, but she still felt that he was a little irritable tonight...... It's like I'm in a bad mood.

Tao Xiang found that Jing Yi was looking at her, and when she looked back, Jing Yi had already turned her gaze away, and she was still talking to Commander Pei, and she was talking softly, no louder than the sound of a slight wave crashing on the ship......

"Please watch your step." Pei Lianggong reminded Jingyi.

"Thank you." Jingyi said softly.

The pontoon bridge leading to the warship on the shore was swaying gently, and the water was sparkling in the night, and Jingyi was indeed a little dizzy—it was only then that she remembered that she had drunk a few glasses of wine in the evening...... When she stepped onto the pontoon bridge, her body immediately shook, and she hurriedly reached out to hold on to the iron railing.

I don't know if the wine is coming up at this time, or the pontoon bridge is really shaking, she looked at the figure of Pei Lianggong and others walking in front of her who were a little shaky, and the sound of water in her ears, the sound of the wind, and the footsteps on the pontoon and gangway converged in one place, and kept echoing...... She breathed deeply. The wind on the water was a little cool at night, and her thin skirt was blown against her body by the wind.

Her hand on the bars loosened, and she tried to keep her balance—she regretted not delaying for a few minutes and changing her clothes. The heel height of these dancing shoes is hateful, like walking on stilts. If this is not a problem in normal times, but she drank wine, and this is on the water...... She really wanted to throw off her shoes and go up the gangway and board the ship like the men walking in front of her—she squinted and saw that Meng Songhua was already on the deck, looking back condescendingly.

Jingyi stomped her foot, and her high heels slammed on the iron plate, clattering.

She was about to look back when a large hand was on her waist.

Just a gentle support, probably because he was worried that she was going to fall...... She was in a trance for a moment. His hand was not like the scorching temperature she was accustomed to in his memory, as if it was far away and could not reach her at all.

"Walk slowly." Tao Xiang reminded Jingyi in a low voice.

The sound was as deep as if it would sink to the bottom immediately when it fell on the surface of the water.

He looked a little unhappy.

Jingyi glanced at him quickly, her beautiful eyes suddenly burst out as if sparks came out, she turned around slightly, stepped heavily, and walked steadily forward with her hands on the iron railing.

"Commander?" Lu Sihai suddenly felt that something was wrong, and reminded Tao Xiang softly.

Tao Xiang glanced at him, and he shut up.

But he didn't stay closed for a while, then he caught up again and asked, "Commander, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave tonight, do you want to arrange ......?"

Tao Xiao stood down, Lu Sihai didn't pay attention, he hurriedly dodged to the side, or hit the iron fence on the side, when he turned around, he saw that Mrs. Tao happened to lift her skirt, and under the care of Commander Pei and Captain Dong, she went up the gangway...... The faint blue figure, soft like a wisp of wind, is even more beautiful and moving against the backdrop of the iron ship and the iron man...... Lu Sihai looked over there, and then looked at the commander - Commander Tao returned his hand and touched his neck, and his hand came with a light and heavy look.

Tao Xiang said lightly: "You wait for me, and I'll clean you up when I get back." When is this the time to dare to arrange these behind my back. ”

Lu Sihai didn't dare to speak out. Tao Xiang's face was now harder than this warship. He didn't dare to move, and when Tao Xiang threw off his steps and crossed the iron bridge and went up the gangway, he hurriedly caught up. When they got on the deck, Jing Yi and the others, who came up earlier, were waiting for them, and Dong Dingyi walked in front to lead the way and walked to the cabin where the wounded were located.

Jingyi went to the deck, only then did she feel more comfortable, and when she saw Meng Songhua, who was already waiting for her at the hatch, she also left Tao Xiang behind for the time being.

As soon as Tao Xiangfu stood still, two people came from the other end of the deck, both of whom were people from his side.

"Commander, there's a telegram."

Tao Xiang waved his hand and said, "I'll come right away." ”

He beckoned Lu Sihai to come over, motioned for him to wait here, and then looked in the direction where Jingyi was, who was walking quickly with everyone to the cabin. A gas lamp was lit at the top of the hatch, and the dim light made her dress gray-green and green as she walked past. As he walked, he thought, I don't know who chose it for her...... But when I first saw her, she didn't seem to be that color.

The corners of his mouth turned up.

Cheng Jingyi, who is like a little chameleon, said that if she changed her face, she would change her face......

He had already walked to the cabin that was used as a makeshift office, and as soon as the door opened in front of him, the light reflected his face. His rare smile recently made Xue Jiayi, the staff officer who opened the door for him, stunned, and hurriedly looked at Hong Xiaojiu, the accompanying translator who came in behind Tao Xiang. Hong Xiaojiu also happened to discover Commander Tao's abnormality, and he forgot what he wanted to say, just looked at Commander Tao who was standing in the middle of the cabin waiting for them to report.

Tao Xiang casually picked up his cigarette case from the table and asked, "Foreign power?" Read. ”

Hong Xiaojiu is a person personally selected by Ma Jiayu. It is a newly emerged elite of the intelligence department in charge of Ma Jiayu, who has returned from studying abroad, is from a prestigious school, is proficient in English, French and Japanese Chinese, and is usually responsible for monitoring foreign communications. She was also the only female soldier in his entourage in Shanghai this time. Because of his young age, beautiful appearance, and accurate and flexible translation during negotiations, he was named the "flower of the army" by the Americans. At the reception dance the night before, representatives of the US military vied with each other to invite her to dance. This girl doesn't seem to like her name, but she copes well...... Tao Xiang watched her open the secret book, struck a match and prepared to light a cigarette.

"Yes, Commander Tao!" Hong Xiaojiu saw Tao Xiang lighting a cigarette, and because he had just been distracted, he was found to be a little nervous by the cold-hearted Commander Tao, and he couldn't help coughing first.

Tao Xiang took a match, but he didn't strike the fire.

Listening to Hong Xiaojiu's finished reading the telegram, seeing the content of her waiting for him to call back, that honest and serious appearance made him suddenly think of Jingyi's shining eyes just now.

"Just said, how much did the Du family's charity ball raise tonight?" He finally struck a match.

A small cloud of warm light illuminated his face......

Over there, Jingyi walked through the narrow hatch and stepped on the ladder to go down. Pei Lianggong and the others did not come down, only Dong Dingyi accompanied him. Jingyi and Meng Songhua followed him down and walked all the way inside. The passage in the cabin is equally narrow. I don't know what was painted on the ground, Jingyi only felt that when she stepped on it, the footsteps were swallowed. There was also a faint roar of machinery...... Meng Songhua turned around at this time and whispered to Jingyi: "It's the first time I've been on a warship...... I didn't expect it to be so big and majestic...... Reminds me of the Titanic...... Oh no, it's the Victoria. ”

When Jingyi heard the "Titanic", her heart was stunned. Meng Songhua didn't notice it, but he didn't feel anything unusual, but when Dong Ding, who was in front of him, heard it, he said: "Doctor Meng is interested, when you are done, I will accompany you to visit our Zhiyuan." This is the most advanced warship in Japan at present. ”

Jing Yi touched the bulkhead, it was cold, but because of Dong Dingyi's words, the cold bulkhead also seemed a little warm.

“…… I hope that one day we will also have an air, carrier, and ship like the Fengxiang, which will greatly improve our combat effectiveness......," Dong Dingyi said, standing down and signaling for them to arrive.

He ordered the guards guarding the door to open the hatch.

Jingyi and Meng Songhua entered the cabin first, and immediately smelled a smell of medicine. Jingyi stood down and saw several military doctors and nurses in white coats in the cabin, and the wounded were lying on temporary hospital beds. When they saw them come in, they hurriedly greeted them. Dong Dingyi introduced them to them, and asked the doctor in charge to explain the situation to Jingyi and Meng Songhua.

The wounded was Zhuge Qing, a colonel and staff officer of Tao Xiang's first staff department. At this time, he was still conscious, and he could still greet Jingyi and recognize her as Mrs. Tao.

Jing Yi comforted him softly for a while.

Meng Songhua changed his clothes and washed his hands before he stepped forward to check and asked the wounded in a low voice. Jingyi didn't move, but stood aside and listened. At this time, Dr. Meng completely lost the occasional playful and innocent look when he came. He examined the wounded with quick hands and feet, asking questions from time to time, and his sentences were short and forceful.

Meng Songhua looked up at Jing Yi who was closest to him, and his brows were almost furrowed.
