Just when the three siblings were guessing, Lin Zhen pointed to Lin Mucheng and introduced Ning Zhiheng: "This is Mu Cheng." ”

Then he stretched out his hand and introduced: "Ning Zhiheng!" The director of the Second Operations Division of the Military Control Bureau, who is also my year-old friend, you are alumni, and you will be closer and closer in the future. ”

Lin Zhen's words suddenly surprised Lin Mucheng, he didn't expect that the year-old friend in his father's mouth would be the high-level of the Military Control Bureau, which was completely beyond his expectations.

He knows his father very well, as an old-fashioned and old-fashioned soldier, his father has always had no good impression of those agents who engage in intelligence, and even despises and guards in his bones, and has expressed this attitude to himself many times in private, but today, it seems that in terms of his attitude towards Ning Zhiheng, he is completely like treating his own people, and there is no far-fetched and disguised at all, what is going on?

Lin Shulan was even more surprised, although she had never seen Ning Zhiheng, but from Wei Liangbi's mouth, she knew a lot about Ning Zhiheng, this is Wei Liangbi's fellow disciple, the relationship between the two is irreversible, they support each other in the Military Control Bureau, advance and retreat together, like brothers, I didn't expect that I would suddenly come to the door today, and my parents' attitude towards him was kind and natural, I couldn't help but widen my eyes for a while, looking at Ning Zhiheng I don't know why, why is it also a spy, and the treatment will be so different?

Ning Zhiheng took the first step and said to Lin Mucheng with a smile: "The senior is the second class of the seventh period, and I am the third class of the eleventh period, I have long wanted to get to know the senior, but I don't have a chance, but today is a rare opportunity!" ”

Ning Zhiheng's posture was very low, and he was completely courting Lin Mucheng as a junior, and Lin Mucheng naturally did not dare to slack off.

The reason is very simple, because Ning Zhiheng's position is far above him, and he is also a colonel, Lin Mucheng, the colonel brigade commander, but he only governs the more than 5,000 people under him.

However, Ning Zhiheng, the colonel, is responsible for the overall supervision of the military discipline and military regulations of the national army, and at the critical moment, he can control the supervision and law enforcement power of various combat units, which can be described as a high authority, not to mention that now, even if Lin Mucheng further becomes a general, he will still be subject to Ning Zhiheng's jurisdiction, Lin Mucheng is very aware of this, from this point of view, Ning Zhiheng can also be called Lin Mucheng's superior.

Of course, Lin Mucheng also knew that the reason why Ning Zhiheng had such an attitude must be for the sake of his father Lin Zhen's face, otherwise the positions of the two people were very different, and Ning Zhiheng would never be so courteous.

"Director Ning is too polite, I also heard that Director Ning is young and promising, and he has already had the heart to pay a visit, but I didn't expect to meet at home today, fortunately, fortunately!"

The two simply shook hands, and Lin Mucheng also showed quite enthusiasm.

He is not a fledgling Leng Touqing, nor is he the kind of gentleman who simply relies on his family background.

He was arranged to train in the army early, and served as a platoon commander, company commander, regiment-level staff officer, division-level staff officer, and even a confidential secretary, and finally served as a military commander.

Although he was extremely resistant to Ning Zhiheng in his heart, he had a kind attitude, cordial and natural, and it was completely a manifestation of hatred for each other.

Ning Zhiheng nodded secretly, this Lin Mucheng is not an ordinary person after all, if he didn't know his details, I was afraid that he would really believe it.

Lin Zhen laughed, waved his hand and said, "What is the director not the director!" Zhiheng is not an outsider, we only talk about personal friendship, Mu Cheng will call him Zhiheng in the future, and I will not talk about his position here. ”

Ning Zhiheng nodded quickly when he heard this, he was naturally interested, and followed Lin Zhen's words and said: "It's still Yougong who is right, we only talk about personal friendship at home, I call the senior brother, and the senior calls me Zhiheng, which also seems kind, haha!" ”

Lin Mucheng saw that Ning Zhiheng was so enthusiastic, and naturally he didn't dare to refuse Yu Qianli, he also nodded and agreed: "That's good, but it's disrespectful, Zhiheng, then I'll hold it up!" ”

"It should, it should!"

The two of them were polite here, and after a few words, they quickly narrowed the distance between each other, at this time the reception banquet had been arranged, Lin Zhen stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go, today is a good day, Mu Cheng is back, Zhiheng has sent good wine again, let's have a drink today!" ”

At the invitation of the host, Ning Zhiheng was of course not polite, and entered the restaurant with the Lin family, sat down separately, and had lunch together.

Lin Zhen ordered someone to take the Fenjiu given by Ning Zhiheng, pointed to the wine glass in front of Ning Zhiheng and said, "Zhiheng, it's all liquor today, do you have the habit of drinking it from Zhejiang?" Why don't I get you a bottle of rice wine? ”

Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and smiled: "Yougong, I'm not afraid of your jokes, although I am from Zhejiang, but I have not been allowed to drink since I was a child, and later went to the military school, but my teacher is from Shandong, I go to the teacher's house every day to eat, and I have been drinking liquor, and I am not used to drinking rice wine!" ”

When Lin Zhen heard this, he didn't feel comfortable in his heart, and watched Ning Zhiheng become more and more temperamental, and said with a smile: "That's right, I'll just say, this rice wine is soft, but it's not pleasant to drink, or the liquor is strong enough!" He Yongnian has been in the military academy for so many years, I don't know anything else, but I can teach you out, this is a great credit! Ha ha! ”

The wine glass was full, the whole family raised a glass to celebrate, after three rounds of wine, Ning Zhiheng raised his glass to Lin Mucheng, and said with a smile: "You Gongde is highly respected, the senior is out of the blue, and now he is even more handsome, devoting himself to the front line of resistance against Japan, Zhiheng is admired, but unfortunately he can't be like his brother, facing the enemy and rushing to the front line, I salute the senior, I wish the senior a victory, make contributions, and go further!" ”

Lin Mucheng also hurriedly raised his glass to greet him, he had scruples about Ning Zhiheng, so he naturally had to deal with it carefully, and replied with a smile: "Zhiheng is polite, although you are not at the forefront like us, but you are also dedicated to defending the country, but you have your own division of labor, don't mind!" ”

The two of them drank a cup of wine, but Lin Zhen smiled at Lin Mucheng and said: "There is a problem with what you say, don't think that you are the best in the army, and you have earned the credit with swords and guns, although Zhiheng is young, but the military merits are not inferior to you, when the Songhu War, our army was defeated and retreated on the frontal battlefield, and suffered heavy losses, but Zhiheng led a force of 600 people on the Pudong battlefield to annihilate two Japanese secret service brigades one after another, a total of more than 500 people, this is a military feat that can be counted in the command, and later also preserved our only heavy artillery unit, At that time, Chief Zhang sent several telegrams to ask for merit for Zhiheng, and he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel, you! Don't be unconvinced. ”

Lin Zhen and Zhang Zhengkui have a very good relationship, Zhang Zhengkui praised Ning Zhiheng at the beginning, and also mentioned Ning Zhiheng's achievements in Pudong, Lin Zhen deliberately said it at this time, just to let Lin Mucheng identify with Ning Zhiheng from the bottom of his heart and further close the relationship between them.

Lin Mucheng's heart was shocked, although he had a lot of respect for Ning Zhiheng, but like his father, he didn't have a good impression of these spies, but now he knew that this Director Ning was also a great general who had been on the battlefield, especially the Battle of Songhu, which was the most tragic battle between China and Japan, and those who could establish outstanding military achievements in this war were definitely heroes.

You must know that in the Battle of Songhu at that time, there was basically no achievement, but under the bombardment of Japanese aircraft and artillery, the troops suffered heavy casualties, and the organization was scattered, which can be said to be a complete defeat.

Lin Mucheng looked at Ning Zhiheng and hurriedly raised his glass, and said sincerely: "It turns out that Zhiheng is also a warrior who participated in the Battle of Songhu, disrespectful, disrespectful!" ”

Ning Zhiheng also raised his glass, he didn't expect Lin Zhen to know about his situation on the battlefield in Pudong back then, and said with some shame: "A little bit of merit, Yougong has won the award!" ”

Lin Zhen shook his head and sighed: "Zhiheng, I know that you yourself are not willing to join the intelligence department, to be honest, you have suffered a lot of losses, with your talent to take the right path, the future is limitless, it's a pity!" ”

The Lin family had a reception banquet, everyone chatted while eating, the atmosphere was very harmonious and pleasant, Ning Zhiheng and Lin Mucheng had become familiar with each other, and they were casual in their conversations.

Everyone had almost eaten, Lin Zhen slightly signaled Ning Zhiheng, Ning Zhiheng understood, and said to Lin Mucheng: "Brother Mucheng, how long will you have a vacation when you come back this time?" ”

"Fifteen days, counting the journey back and forth, although the Japanese have retreated now, but our army has suffered a lot of losses, there are many things to do, there are thousands of things, and there is no delay!"

Ning Zhiheng continued: "Brother is busy with military affairs, then this vacation is rare, come back to take a good turn, Chongqing City has a lot of scenery, so, tomorrow night I am in the Jiangbei Jinxiu Building, please Mu Cheng Brother have a few drinks, there is close to the Yangtze River, climb high and look into the distance, the scenery of the sunset of the Yangtze River is the most beautiful, that is a big view of Chongqing City, especially the fish of the Jinxiu Building is a must, delicious, watching the sunset is delicious, but a great pleasure, brother must appreciate the light!" ”

Hearing that Ning Zhiheng invited him to dinner, Lin Mucheng was reluctant in his heart, Ning Zhiheng is a high-level member of the Military Control Bureau, his identity is special, and he is most afraid of dealing with such a senior agent, which is okay to socialize occasionally, but if he goes deep, he is afraid that he will not pay attention to it, and his words will be exposed, but it is not easy to say.

Thinking of this, he was just about to say no, Lin Zhen said again: "Okay, I think it's good, Mu Cheng hasn't been in Chongqing for a few days, and he hasn't been to many places in Chongqing, so Zhiheng is free during this time, you can go out for a walk together and relax!" ”

Speaking of this, he specially instructed Ning Zhiheng: "Mu Chengcheng is handed over to you, he is very boring, you accompany him for me!" ”

"Definitely, please rest assured, I rarely have the opportunity to take a turn in my usual days, this time I can be lazy, so I should relax and relax."

The two of them sang and harmonized here, and immediately blocked Lin Mucheng's words, and finally had to nod and agree: "That's good, but it's disrespectful, I'll bother Zhiheng!" ”

The matter was decided, everyone chatted for a while, Ning Zhiheng saw that the goal was achieved, so he got up to say goodbye, and under the eyes of the Lin family, got in the car and left.
