Chapter 1: The Lost City (5 A)

Solved a big problem. He Yaozu was not very comfortable in his heart. When I was driving, I walked several times in a row. Thanks to Chongqing's traffic police and drivers, they are very discerning. Know the people who sit in the Buick Century. Even if there is no police car in front of the car. It's not something you can afford to provoke. I went all the way home.

His wife, Ni Feijun, who is twenty-three years younger than him, is busy in the kitchen. It makes the whole house wafted with the rich aroma of dishes. It's not that their family can't afford to hire a cook. Things are hard. The Nationalist Government, however, will not owe the salary of a powerful general. However, Ni Feijun insisted that it was a wife's obligation to give her husband the food she had made herself. He Yaozu also knows how to appreciate each other's cooking skills. So married for more than five years. He Yaozu didn't have a social meeting that he really couldn't put off. Dinner is usually eaten at home. Husband and wife feeding their children at the dinner table. Let's talk about homely things. The tiredness of going to work during the day is swept away.

Available today. He Yaozu obviously didn't have much appetite. After changing shoes and loose clothes with the help of a maid. He collapsed on the couch. Cover your face with the newspaper of the day.

The reason why he is so preoccupied. It's not that I'm guilty that I've just ruined the future of a young officer. As a matter of fact. The official is a person of the level of He Yaozu. It's hard to be affected by such a small thing. Besides, He Yaozu has done enough to be benevolent and righteous. He believes. If the Chief of the General Staff He Yingqin or the Minister of Military Training Bai Chongxi are replaced, these two people will be in a different place with themselves. What they did was not as simple as splitting Zhang Songling in two. with their way of doing things. It is very likely that a mission to send people to death will be deliberately arranged for the Black Stone Village to carry out. Or directly send someone to kill Zhang Songling. Such. In order to solve the future problems once and for all.

This is not to say that He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi are more brutal than He Yaozu. It's that the two of them act in a cleaner and neater style. Or rather, people are more decisive. Same as He Yaozu. They are all top names in the military. They are all elephants in the army. And Zhang Songling is just a little ant. Has anyone ever seen an elephant walk and feel sad about trampling an ant to death? I'm afraid not. Being able to deliberately avoid ant nests when walking has done its duty. More often. is not going to bow down at all. Take a big step and go straight to the goal. How can you care if the ant under your feet is black or white. Dead or alive ..

The reason why he He Yaozu is so preoccupied. It was due to Chiang Kai-shek's attention to a certain or a few small ants. It was on a whim. Or have I really moved the idea of cherishing talents. If it's the former. No matter what he did with those little ants. will not have any adverse effects on themselves. And in case it's the latter. Even if Chairman Chiang knew the whole situation, he could understand his distress in doing so. Presumably, he will also be upset because he has discounted too much when carrying out orders. In that case. The mutual trust between the two will be greatly affected. He congratulated Yaozu on his transcendent position in the Military Council. It will also cease to exist.

Unlike other veterans within the Kuomintang . He Yaozu is almost the only one who has experienced the Xinhai Revolution and the Northern Expedition. The qualifications and contributions are enough to match Chiang Kai-shek. Someone who still maintains a friend relationship with the latter. and other veterans with equal qualifications and contributions. Either it has been completely defeated by Chairman Chiang. It became an ornament in the national government. Or continue to fight with the latter. Almost a minute passed tremblingly. Skate on thin ice.

He Yaozu doesn't like to fight with people. Especially when there is no certainty of victory. I never thought that I would be able to replace Chiang Kai-shek one day. He doesn't have any political ambitions. He only wanted to do more useful things for the country within the scope of his ability, and the post of general of the General Office of the Military Commission was an important basis for him to realize those wishes in his heart. If he was transferred from the post of chief of staff of the Military Commission because he was no longer trusted by Chiang Kai-shek, he would have to be like those veterans who were frustrated in the political struggle, and he would have to pass the time with newspapers and tea every day.

The temperature in the mountain town in November is a bit low. Because of the rain. Even wrapped in velvet pajamas. I can still clearly feel the waves of autumn coolness in the air. He Yaozu turned over. Try to use the surface of the sofa that has been warmed by body temperature. To soothe the lower abdomen that is blown cold by the cold air. Just adjust your body to a comfortable position. But I felt a soft warm breeze on my neck.

"Whew.." Ni Feijun, who is already a mother of two children, still hasn't changed her little daughter's temperament. Seeing that the husband is not really asleep. He puffed out his mouth. He blew a long breath of hot air on the other man's neck socket. It was the most itchy place on He Yaozu's body. It was so itchy that he immediately got up from the couch. While blocking his wife's mouth with his hand. While smiling, he asked, "The meal is ready. What about the kids. Have they all eaten?"

"Let Zhang's mother lead her to the kitchen to eat. lest you suffer from the fish in the pond." Ni Feijun smiled and complained. Let go of He Yaozu. Grab a bottle of French wine from the table. Poured a cup for He Yaozu." Eat first and then go to bed. lest you get up tomorrow morning with another stomach ache. This cup was given to you because of the cold weather. Drink slowly. Be careful, drink in a hurry."

Looking at the dishes on the table, they are full of color and aroma. Look at the wife's face full of concern. No matter how many troubles you have in your heart. This moment is all gone.

"I'm fine. It's just that I'm too busy at work today. I haven't found time to rest. That's why I want to lie down for a while when I get home." I don't want my wife to worry. He Yaozu smiled. Deliberately pretending to be relaxed." You also know. Recently, the front line has been tight. I'm looking for someone everywhere to ask me for a gun. I'm not a monkey as a director. Even if you pluck out the hairs on your body, you can't turn people into people and guns for them."

"I think it's pretty much the same." Ni Feijun pursed his lips and quipped. The clear eyes reflected He Yaozu's tired face at the moment. The latter is seen as a weakness in the heart. Smiled. Keep trying to cover it up." It's really fine. Back home. See you busy in the kitchen. Seeing the kids all having fun. Forget everything."

"If only you could adjust it yourself." Ni Feijun couldn't bear to expose her husband's white lies. Look away. Smile and serve each other's dishes." Try this. I specially learned Cantonese cuisine from Sister He. I don't know how much I learned."

That's a garlic conpoy bean sprout. When He Yaozu followed Sun Yat-sen in Guangzhou. I really like to go to the restaurant to eat. But today. He frowned at the food he once loved. Sister He. Which Sister He. Have you been idle lately?"

"Of course, it's Premier Liao's wife." Ni Feijun glanced at her husband in surprise. Respond softly." Which other Sister He can have. I know people who can cook Cantonese food. She's number one in terms of craftsmanship." (Note 1)

The more you are afraid of something, the more you will encounter something. The hair on the back of He Yaozu's neck immediately stood on end. A frightened dog glared at his wife. Commanded: "Of course I know it's Mrs. Liao. Can you go to her side a few less times in the future? Even if it's not for my sake. Think about this home too."

Note 1: He Xiangning. The wife of Kuomintang Premier Liao Zhongkai. A famous talented woman in the early years of the Republic of China. Studied at Japan Women's University. Good at painting. Follow Sun Yat-sen with her husband. She was the first female member of the League. Because of the adherence to the United Communist Party of China. There was a deep contradiction with Chiang Kai-shek.
