When I saw Gu Yiguang, it was dinner time, she was wearing a simple coarse cloth gown, her face was a little haggard, but fortunately, her mental state was not bad, her eyes were not radiant, but she was still clean and transparent, and she was looking forward to it.

She said that when the flash flood hit, the train was just about to pass the railway bridge, and she didn't bother to take her identity documents and luggage in a hurry.

After dinner, Lin Wanjing took Gu Yiguang to her room to rest, and she went to the door of Xu Chuanxi's study alone, hesitated for a moment, and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened, and in addition to Xu Chuanxi, there were several officers with different titles standing in the study, with solemn expressions and cautious demeanor. Seeing Lin Wanjing coming in, Xu Chuanyu put down the letter paper in his hand and asked:

"What's the matter?"

"I ...... There's something I'd like to discuss with the Overseers, and if the Overseers don't have the convenience right now, I'll be able to come back later. Lin Wanjing said, just about to leave, but was called by Xu Chuanxi:

"Wait."

She turned around, but saw Xu Chuanyu waving his hand to his subordinates: "You go out first and wait." ”

When the officers heard this, they saluted the military salute and left the room one after another, and in an instant, only Lin Wanjing and Xu Chuanyu were left in the huge study. She caught a glimpse of the letter on his desk that had just been opened, and before she could think about it, he handed it to her:

"Want to see it?"

Lin Wanjing was taken aback, and said with a smile:

"The Overseer is joking, I can see what I want to do."

"You didn't even look at it, you knew it was an economic journal? Moreover...... Have you seen less? Seeing that Lin Wanjing was stunned and didn't know how to reply, Xu Chuanyu threw the letter back on the table, a smile slowly rose at the corner of her mouth, and her sharp eyes were also put away: "Look at you, I'll tease you!" ”

The heart that just mentioned her throat was put down suddenly, and Lin Wanjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the plot changed too quickly, and she still had palpitations, standing in place, not daring to act rashly.

Seeing her like this, Xu Chuanyu stopped teasing her, and asked Zhengse, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"This ......" Lin Wanjing only felt her voice tremble, forcibly settled her mind, and finally spoke, "I have been taken care of by the Overseers these days, and there are many disturbances. Now that I have found my sister-in-law, I want to stop staying longer......"

"You're leaving?" A cold light flashed in Xu Chuanxi's color.

"Yes...... My sister-in-law is pregnant, and my brother must be very worried, since he has found it, he should reunite them as soon as possible. ”

When Xu Chuanyu heard this, he slowly stood up and paced to Lin Wanjing: "Miss Gu, I will arrange for someone to send her back, as for you...... If the girl is still in the habit of living, Xu hopes that the girl can stay for a longer time, and in two days it will be Ying Xuan's birthday, if you are not there, I am afraid that she will be disappointed. ”

Lin Wanjing knew about her birthday, and she did promise to accompany her on this birthday, but now it is an eventful time, if you don't want to cause trouble to Liu Jin, it is wise to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible than to keep her promise.

"Thanks to Miss Yingxuan's love, but Yan Ru really misses her brother at home, and she really has no intention of staying longer, and I hope the Overseer will understand."

"Heh......" Xu Chuanyu smiled coldly, "Are you worried about your brother or your husband?" ”

Cold sweat ran down her spine, and the cold touch was so clear that she shivered all over, but she still forced a smile and said, "Overseer, why do you always make fun of me tonight......"

"It's come to this, this drama doesn't have to go on, right? I was careless in bringing you back at the time, but ...... Disappointing that you have taken such pains to approach me and not be able to get any useful information from me? ”

Seeing that Lin Wanjing didn't answer, Xu Chuanyu took two steps closer and lowered his voice and said: "He Liu Jin is really a blessing, marrying a wife is not only Peugeot, useful and resourceful, but also willing to take risks for him and go to Longtan alone." It's a pity...... But he didn't know how to cherish it. ”

Liu Jin's name was like a falcon's sharp claws, slashing through her heart, a pain in her chest, and she didn't have time to breathe, his tobacco-scented fingers had lightly picked up her chin, and a slightly hoarse voice said in her ear, "It's better to go back to the Overseer's Mansion with me, and be Ying Xuan's stepmother, and you won't have to suffer from that prison when you come to Beiyang to seize power." ”

The door opened again, and an officer hurried in, but he obviously didn't expect the atmosphere in the study to be so ambiguous, and he didn't know what to do if he stood still. The sudden intrusion of others obviously stirred up Xu Chuanxi's interest, and he left in front of Lin Wanjing stupidly, and swept his cold eyes at the officer:

"Say."

"But ......" The officer glanced at the frightened Lin Wanjing, and stopped talking.

"Say what you want!"

It can be heard that Xu Chuanxi's mood is very bad.

"I just received a letter that the Guangdong Provincial Fleet has bypassed the Luzhou coastal defense and headed north overnight, and it is expected to reach the mouth of the Panlong River in two days, and will soon be in Jinchuan, the capital of our province. Command, Overseer! ”

"Instructions?" Xu Chuanyu snorted coldly, "What if all the guns and artillery of the Nanshan Battalion are transferred to Jinchuan for fortification?" One heavy cannon on his ship can destroy half of my Jin Chuan City! ”

Lin Wanjing was puzzled, Xu Chuanxi should have known that Guangdong Province was moving northward to capture Ganzhou, and it stands to reason that he should have written to ask for reinforcements, why would he have such a helpless expression now.

"Don't you have the backing of the Beiyang Million Heroes? What are you afraid of? ”

"Do you really think Ganzhou is so important to the Beiyang forces?" A bitter smile at the end of the strong crossbow appeared on Xu Chuanxi's face, "At present, the battle situation in the southwest is stalemate, and it is imperative to cross the river, where are the surplus troops to support my little Ganzhou." Moreover, when the Guangdong army captures Ganzhou, it will definitely attack Luzhou by land and water, and then the enemy will be attacked on the back of the abdomen, even if there are ten Liu Jin, I am afraid that there will be no skills to return to the sky. Can you use the hands of the Guangdong army to suppress the henchman of Luzhou, why not? Xu Chuanyu paused, and said: I thought that Liu Jin, who was rumored to be like a god, would be able to understand this matter, so I put the final bet on him, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that."

After a long silence, Xu Chuanyu sighed, "Miss Yanru, the matter has come to this, Xu has only one thing to ask for, tomorrow I will arrange for your aunt and sister-in-law to go back to Luzhou, and please remember this half-moon love and leave with Yingxuan." ”

"The Overseers are going to give up resistance?!"

"It's just hitting a stone with an egg, and there is no chance of winning, so why bother making a senseless sacrifice? At that time, I will kill myself in court, and my martyrdom can be regarded as worthy of the appreciation of the handsome man for so many years. ”

The atmosphere was depressed for a while, and the officer stood silently in place without saying a word, but he heard Lin Wanjing say:

"If the Overseer can trust Yiguang, please entrust Miss Yingxuan to her, and I will return to Jin Chuan with you."

"What are you going to do with me?" Xu Chuanyu was surprised.

"Not only will I go back with you, but I will go with great fanfare. I would like to ask the Overseer to use Miss Yingxuan's birthday as an excuse to summon celebrities from all walks of life in Jin Chuan and reporters from various newspapers to make a big splash. ”

Xu Chuanhui seemed to understand Lin Wanjing's intentions, but the doubts in her eyes deepened.

"Since the Overseer said that he put the entire bet on Liu Jin, let me be the last weight."

"What if Liu Jin is still unmoved?"

"Then there's no point in me going back." Lin Wanjing smiled bitterly, "It's better to use my life to give you a martyrdom with a heart of love for the people." ”

Although it was still early in the morning, the naval headquarters in Luzhou was already full of people, and the port was the first place in the city to wake up, plus Liu Daolin was recuperating behind closed doors, Liu Jin, the eldest son and young marshal, took on more responsibilities.

The boots stepped on the hard granite floor of the corridor, each step firm and powerful, the dark red solid wood door opened heavily, and the fresh air currents rolled up a fine puff of dust.

Walking through the slightly cluttered office, Liu Jin walked straight to the window, pushed open the window, and let the air in the room, which had been closed for more than half a month, flow—this was the first time he had returned to his office in the past half a month.

The sky outside the window was overcast, and the sea churning under the sky was also gloomy gray-blue, staring at the clear color outside the window, Liu Jin's brows gradually rose, such a sky made people extremely uncomfortable, and there was an inexplicable uneasiness in the body gradually rising. In the middle of the night, he returned to his desk, the desk lamp was on, and the bright incandescent light was like a warm little sun, shining on Lin Wanjing's faint smile in the photo frame under the lamp.

The clerk put the first stack of documents to be approved on the table, and said respectfully:

"As instructed by you, no one has been allowed into your office in the past half month."

"Oh," Liu Jin paused, and then asked, "The young lady has never been here either?" ”

"No, I didn't."

"Oh......" was a response with unvarnished loss.

"In the early hours of this morning, the military aircraft department reported that five warships of the Guangdong Provincial Fleet have passed through the sensitive area of our territorial waters, and it is expected that they will be able to completely leave our neighboring waters this afternoon."

"Is there any movement from the north?"

"We haven't received any information yet."

As soon as the clerk finished speaking, he heard footsteps in the corridor and hurriedly approached, and a few seconds later, Lu Canghai stood by the door panting. Liu Jin put down his hand in Chinese, raised his eyes to look at him, saw that he was out of breath, and raised his eyebrows:

"I haven't seen you for half a month, so missed?"

Lu Canghan glared at him unceremoniously, straightened up and walked to the desk, stuffed the newspaper in his hand into Liu Jin's hand, and said:

"Today's news."

The newspaper was still warm, and Xu was holding it all the way, and the paper was a little wrinkled. In a prominent position on the front page, a report on Lin Wanjing's attendance at the Overseer's Mansion dinner in Ganzhou was not a headline, but the bold and enlarged font was eye-catching enough.

Shock swept over Liu Jin's face, and he recalled the situation he talked to Lin Wanjing about the situation in Ganzhou earlier: at that time, she was the main peacemaker, and she thought that even if the Beiyang Fleet went south to reinforce Ganzhou and annihilated the Guangdong Provincial Navy in one fell swoop, although it could severely damage the forces of Guangdong Province, the fact that the Beiyang forces regained their dominance over Ganzhou would also be harmful and not beneficial to Luzhou.

He thought that Lin Wanjing would blame him at most for his decision to sit on the sidelines, but he didn't expect her to use such a method to force him to this point.

The newspaper in his hand became tighter and tighter, and after a while, the newspaper was slammed on the desk:

"Immediately mobilize the ships in Hong Kong to go north, and block the northbound route before dawn tomorrow."

"Yes." Lu Canghan left in response, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the office, he bumped into Wei Chi, who was in a hurry, "...... early"

Wei Chi ignored him, flashed into the office, didn't care about saluting, and said anxiously:

"Just connected to the report, the Beiyang Fleet has pulled anchor and set sail and withdrawn to Jiangbei ......"
