Zhou Hexuan thought he was going to a hotel in the city, but he was pulled by Xiong Xianghui to Huaqing Pond in a car.

There are relatively high-end hotels here, and there are also newly built hot spring pools in the Republic of China, and Lao Jiang used to come to Xi'an to occasionally take a bath in Huaqing Pool.

Anyway, all the consumption was reported by Hu Zongnan, Zhou Hexuan put away his luggage, and took Wanrong to find the hot spring pool together. Xia Nai, Wu Zuoren, Lin Fengmian, Lin Guoda, Sun Yongzhen and Zhu Guozhen also took the opportunity to entertain, especially the two painters, who soaked in the bath and recited poems, thinking about Yang Guifei and Emperor Tang Ming in the past.

It's a pity that the floor tiles and wall tiles in the hot spring pool are more stunning, and at first glance they are modern industrial products, without the slightest ancient charm at all.

On the morning of the second day, Zhou Hexuan asked Sun Yongzhen to go to the city government to borrow a car, get a truck and set off. There are several oil fields in the northwest, and gasoline and diesel are cheaper and easier to obtain than in the south, so there is no need to make a long journey with charcoal burning in a car.

Sun Yongzhen hadn't driven the truck back yet, but Hu Zongnan had arrived first.

The commander-in-chief of the dignified group army, the future king of the northwest, was wearing a suit and leather shoes, glasses, and a camera on his chest.

Zhou Hexuan was being pulled by Kong Lingwei to play cards, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the entourage of the Kong family reported: "Second Miss, there is a reporter who asks to see you." ”

"Let him in." Kong Lingwei said casually.

Hu Zongnan walked into the room and looked at Kong Lingwei, his brows furrowed slightly, and he introduced himself: "Hello Miss Kong Er, my name is Gu ......"

Kong Lingwei was wearing a black suit and red tie, holding a cigar in one hand and a card in the other, and a yellow-haired pug squatting at his feet. She spit out a smoke ring and interrupted directly: "Reporter Gu, what's the matter with me?" ”

"Uh, I want to...... I'd like to ask you a few questions. Hu Zongnan hurriedly handed over the business card.

Kong Lingwei glanced at Hu Zongnan and sneered: "You are still a reporter with your virtue?" I can't even speak. Don't pee and take pictures, just want to interview me? Go back and tell the president that he will come to me directly, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind. ”

This is my blind date......

General Hu Zongnan, who has a heavy army, just wants to lose his face and leave at the moment. He held back his anger and said with a smile, "I want to take a picture of Miss Kong Er." ”

Kong Lingwei threw Hu Zongnan's business card to the ground and said disdainfully: "In the past, in Shanghai, one of my photos was worth 100,000 yuan. . ”

Hu Zongnan immediately got out, he couldn't afford to provoke such an aunt and grandmother. is neither male nor female, rude manners, uneducated, empty-eyed, let alone married and home, even being an ordinary friend is disgusting.

"I'll go to the bathroom." Zhou Hexuan got up and said.

Kong Lingwei said: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't delay playing cards." ”

By the time Zhou Hexuan chased him out, Hu Zongnan had already torn off his fake beard and was scolding and muttering something.

"Commander Hu stays." Zhou Hexuan shouted.

Hu Zongnan was taken aback, turned around and asked, "Mr. Zhou knows me?" ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "I've seen it from afar before. ”

"I see," Hu Zongnan said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou is still satisfied with his stay in Huaqing Pond, right?" If there's anything you need help with, just ask. ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "I asked people to take the note from the Ministry of Education to the city government to borrow a car, but I haven't come back yet, I don't know what happened to me." ”

Hu Zongnan said: "The city government doesn't have a few cars, so since Mr. Zhou has an emergency, I asked the troops to transfer a car over." ”

"Thank you very much." Zhou Hexuan hugged his fists.

Hu Zongnan suddenly whispered: "Mr. Zhou is very familiar with Miss Kong Er? ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly: "Sort of." ”

Hu Zongnan asked, "What do you think of her?" ”

"It's hard to say." Zhou Hexuan said.

"Haha," Hu Zongnan laughed dryly, "It's really hard to say." ”

The two chatted a few more words, and suddenly heard Kong Lingwei shouting inside: "Do you or pee?" It's been so long to go to the toilet! ”

Hu Zongnan shook his head again and again, hugged his fists and said, "Mr. Zhou, I will leave first." ”

"Walk slowly." Zhou Hexuan said.

Hu Zongnan slipped away, and immediately called the matchmaker Chen Lifu when he returned, saying that the Japanese army was preparing to launch an attack in Qinling. He must immediately go to the front line to supervise the war, the military situation is urgent, and personal private matters can only be put aside for the time being, please Chen Lifu must be considerate.

Zhou Hexuan also quickly took people away, driving all the way to Dunhuang.

Chen Lifu told Song Ailing Hu Zongnan's original words, and Song Ailing hurriedly called her daughter, and after some exchanges, she guessed that Hu Zongnan was the reporter. Song Ailing counted her daughter down, ordered Kong Lingwei not to dress up in men's clothes anymore, and hurriedly came to apologize to leave a good impression on Hu Zongnan.

Song Ailing was so anxious about her daughter's marriage, because she saw that Lao Jiang attached great importance to Hu Zongnan and wanted to strengthen the strength of the Kong family through political marriage.

Kong Lingwei did not come to apologize in person, but called Hu Zongnan's headquarters, and the staff officer who answered the phone said: "If Hu Zongnan doesn't come to see me, I will stay in Xi'an and not leave." ”

Hu Zongnan was so aggrieved that he could only go on a blind date.

Kong Lingwei finally changed back to women's clothes this time, not only wearing a skirt, but also stepping on high heels, and spraying perfume on her head and neck.

Hu Zongnan glanced at the other party's high heels, and suddenly had a plan. He invited Kong Lingwei to go on a hike and walked for two hours on the wild path, bringing Kong Lingwei's feet out of the blisters. Hu Zongnan pretended not to know, enjoyed the beautiful scenery all the way, and praised all kinds of lyricism.

Kong Lingwei was about to go crazy, and when he returned to Huaqingchi, he scolded and swore a curse: "Hu Zongnan, this bastard, even if he becomes the emperor one day, I, Kong Er, have no interest in him!" ”

Hu Zongnan was too witty, and he didn't offend anyone by pretending to be married, except for Miss Kong Er......

Zhou Hexuan and his entourage were very happy, because they had to transport arms aided by the Soviet Union, the road traffic in the northwest was very convenient.

Wanrong and Lin Guoda were the most excited, they were both experiencing the scenery of the Western Regions for the first time, just like the inland people seeing the sea for the first time.

A few days later, it entered the border of Gansu, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan...... Every time he went to an ancient city, Xia Nai had to take advantage of the opportunity to rest and walk around. Lin Guoda is his follower, asking all kinds of questions like a curious baby, and this kind of field study is the most knowledgeable.

Zhou Hexuan was lucky, he didn't encounter any bandits along the way, but he saw a few Japanese transport planes flying in the sky. These Japanese planes went to the Ejina Banner grassland to drop supplies, and a small number of Japanese built military bases there, and bought some Chinese to be traitors, and also wanted to pull the Mongol prince there into the water, and then launched a rebellion to establish a puppet regime in Gansu.

There is no need for Zhou Hexuan to worry about this kind of thing, because the Communist Party sent political cadres three years ago. That cadre has become a good friend with the Mongolian prince, and he is also well-known in the local military and police circles, and everyone respectfully calls him "Secretary Liu". During the Spring Festival next year, under the advice of "Secretary Liu", the Mongolian prince invited the Japanese to eat dumplings and drink soju, and easily killed all the drunken Japanese.

This "Secretary Liu", whose real name is Zhou Renshan, later became a high-ranking official in Tibet and the executive secretary of the Xinzhuang District Party Committee.

Gossip is not mentioned.

When the group arrived in Guazhou, there was no serious highway at this time, and the car could only run around in the desert Gobi. In order to avoid going in the wrong direction, Zhou Hexuan also hired a temporary guide in Guazhou, and finally arrived in Dunhuang in mid-September.
