Seeing that the corps commander brought the Red Army Bodhisattva Dr. Ni to visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the Red Army soldiers who were playing near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda quietly rushed to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and soon formed a loose wall of people around the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, separating the visiting citizens from the corps commander.

The stone in Li Chengyi's heart finally landed, and he was frightened along the way, so far he was relieved. Busy ordered the platoon commanders of a company to go up to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to take a look and go to the top floor to be on guard.

Although Ni Hua had never held a gun or fought, she was smart and intelligent, and she could see at a glance that the soldiers were automatically protecting her and Liu Yimin, and she was moved in her heart, so she urged Liu Yimin to hurry up and go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and leave quickly after reading it, so as not to affect the soldiers' play.

Liu Yimin smiled and took the lead in walking towards the tower.

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda has been a symbol of Xi'an since its completion in the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the new jinshi and the queen, often by the Tang Dynasty emperor in the apricot garden to give a banquet, in the Qujiang party drinking, Ci'en Temple under the tower inscription and other activities, the so-called spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe hurry, a day to see all the Chang'an flowers, is really one of the three happy events in life. Descended to future generations, although Chang'an is no longer the political center of the country, the name of the Wild Goose Pagoda is still the dream of literati. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was a saying that "the famous wild goose pagoda is the first class person in the world", which shows the status of the big wild goose pagoda in the minds of literati and students.

Seeing Liu Yimin browsing in front of the inscription of Jinshi on the first floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Ni Hua said: "I heard that Wen Jinshi was inscribed in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and Wu Jinshi was inscribed in the Little Wild Goose Pagoda. If there is still the imperial examination, you are both civil and military, maybe you will have to be inscribed in the big and small wild goose pagodas at the same time. If you were born in the Tang Dynasty, maybe after winning the champion, there would be a princess who would marry and be a concubine? ”

Liu Yimin thought to himself, Lao Tzu was the champion of the college entrance examination in the era of later generations, if he traveled to the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't it be easy to get a double champion of civil and military affairs? He smiled proudly, noncommittal, and walked up with his feet up.

Ni Hua saw that Liu Yimin was very conceited when he laughed, and he was amused in his heart, so he said, "You pull me." ”

Liu Yimin didn't think about it so much, reached out and grabbed Ni Hua's hand, and walked up the stairs together.

Don't want to get into trouble with this pull!

After going up to the second floor, Liu Yimin naturally let go of his hand, but Ni Hua held his hand tightly and refused to let go. Liu Yimin turned around and looked, and saw that Ni Hua's eyes were full of affection, and he sighed in his heart, letting Ni Hua take his hand and admire and watch layer by layer.

After going up to the top floor, Liu Yimin saw that there were guards and soldiers around him, so he whispered to Ni Hua: "Quickly let go, let the soldiers see it's not good." ”

Ni Hua replied in a low voice: "I am willing!" He took Liu Yimin's hand and began to enjoy the appearance of Xi'an.

Liu Yimin complained bitterly in his heart, thinking that he couldn't bear to hurt Ni Hua's heart, who knew that he would let this girl catch her, and this time, the whole army soon knew, and it was not clear if he wanted to make it clear.

Ni Hua doesn't care what Liu Yimin thinks in his heart, she has already seen through it, it's not that Liu Yimin doesn't have feelings for the girls around him, but this guy is still an ignorant man in the love field, and he doesn't understand the relationship between men and women at all. At this time, whoever grabs it is whomever is. If you are blindly shy and don't dare to take the initiative to express it, then you can only look at other people's cave candles, love and happiness, and hide to the side to cry secretly. Therefore, it is impossible for her to let go of Liu Yimin's hand again.

Think about it, when Tang Xingying joined the Red Army, Liu Yimin was already prominent, in her eyes, Liu Yimin was the chief, victory, admiration is greater than love, never dared to take the initiative to talk to Liu Yimin to confess, feelings are inadvertently revealed, secretly taste the sweetness of love. And Ni Hua is different, she is a few years older than Tang Xingying, and she was educated in the United States, and she did not really participate in the Red Army.

Li Chengyi, who caught up, handed over the telescope casually, Ni Hua held Liu Yimin with one hand and the telescope with the other, and said happily while watching: "Look, I see the bell tower, there is a pigeon on the bell tower, it is gray, so beautiful!" ”

Liu Yimin's heart was in a mess, he didn't have any intention of looking at the scenery, he only thought about how to deal with Ni Hua's problem, where would he think about whether there were pigeons on the bell tower!

Ni Hua took the puppet-like Liu Yimin and walked around the top floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, took a clear look at Xi'an City, and then pulled him down the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Out of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, he met Hu Laohu, the commander of the cavalry.

Hu Laohu only knew that Ni Hua was a doctor, saved the life of the regiment commander, and saved many soldiers in the battle to eliminate Hu Zongnan's first division in Hanyang Town, and it was impossible for him to know Ni Hua's family background at his level.

Seeing the regiment commander and Ni Hua walking out of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda hand in hand, Hu Laohu hurriedly stepped forward to say a happy New Year. After asking, Hu Laohu, who was promoting narrowness, thought that he had always wanted to express his gratitude to Dr. Ni for saving the captain of the army, but he happened to meet him, when would he not express it at this time? He gave a military salute to Ni Hua and said, "Thank you Dr. Ni for saving the commander of the corps and our soldiers." ”

After speaking, seeing Ni Hua's smile on his face, he joked: "Actually, there is no need to thank you, you will soon become the lover of our army commander, and it is only natural for a wife to save her husband." I'll change my words first, happy New Year sister-in-law! ”

This made Ni Hua's face flush with shame, and he lowered his head and said "um".

Seeing that Ni Hua was so ashamed, Hu Laohu laughed happily, and even said: "Good, indeed good, the Red Army Living Bodhisattva is matched with the peerless hero of the Red Army, it is simply made in heaven!" I can't imagine that our Seventh Legion is finally going to have a wedding wine! When the time comes, I'll be the first to go to the cave room! ”

Hu Laohu's laughter woke up Liu Yimin, he shook his hand out of Ni Hua's small hand, and when he saw the surrounding soldiers laughing, he whispered to Hu Laohu viciously: "What nonsense? Go back to your barracks and be locked up for a day! ”

As soon as Ni Hua heard this, he knew that Liu Yimin had not completely complied and sprinkled his anger on Hu Laohu. stepped forward to take Liu Yimin's hand and said softly: "There is no reason in the world for my sister-in-law to be locked up." Don't be angry, okay! ”

Without waiting for Liu Yimin to speak, Ni Hua took out the five silver dollars issued by the army for the New Year, and said to Hu Laohu with a smile, "Commander Hu, thank you for giving me New Year's greetings, and I wish you a happy New Year!" In this big year, I don't have any greeting gifts, this is the five silver dollars issued to me by the army, you take it and invite the soldiers to drink! ”

Hu Laohu just saw that Liu Yimin's expression was wrong, and he wanted to confine himself, and he thought that the corps commander was young and embarrassed, and was thinking about how to end it, as soon as Ni Hua spoke, Hu Laohu understood that the corps commander had not yet made up his mind, and this Dr. Ni was afraid that he would take the initiative to pursue the corps commander.

After seeing it, Hu Laohu felt that the regiment commander was too much, what point of such a good girl was not worthy of you! No, you have to help Dr. Ni!

Hu Laohu stepped forward to take the silver dollar in Ni Hua's hand and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, it's better to be sister-in-law!" Then he crawled to Liu Yimin's ear and whispered: "Hurry up, such a good woman can't let me run away, and strive to give birth to a fat boy next year." After speaking, he didn't wait for Liu Yimin to speak, turned his head and pulled his warrior away.

After Hu Laohu left, Liu Yimin didn't dare to turn any further, and led Ni Hua back to the army headquarters directly.

After going to the office and sitting down, Ni Hua poured water for Liu Yimin first, and then sat there and shed tears aggrievedly.

Liu Yimin felt that he had to make his words clear, it would be too ambiguous to go on like this, and after a long time, he would not be able to end the show.

Seeing that Ni Hua was quietly shedding tears, Liu Yimin said: "I know your affection for me, and I am not a wooden person, how can I not know your goodness?" If I want to say that I don't like you, or I don't like you, I don't believe it myself. Everyone knows that you are beautiful, elegant, gentle and generous, and you are an American student, with superb medical skills, and it can be said that you can marry a girl like you, which can be said to be a blessing that you have cultivated in eight lifetimes. However, our situation is peculiar, I am the commander of the main army of the Red Army, and you are the main relative of the greatest enemy of the Red Army. If the two of us get married, your family will not agree, and my leaders and comrades will not agree. ”

Seeing that Ni Hua didn't say a word, just lowered his head and wiped his tears, Liu Yimin looked out the window, as if he was talking to himself: "Do you know? The moment I woke up in the hospital, I saw you sitting in a chair reading a book, the light cast a circle of light on your forehead, and your image was so holy and beautiful. At that moment, my heart was moved. Why is this woman so beautiful? I'm going to have her! Later, I knew that you saved me, and I also knew your background. I'll tell you the truth, you're the first woman in this world to really get my heart struck. Your knowledge, your temperament, your ladylike demeanor, and your beauty have all touched me. It's a pity that creation makes people! ”

Ni Hua raised his head, opened a pair of teary eyes and said loudly: "What's wrong with your background?" My second cousin is also married to Sun Yat-sen! You keep saying that you respect her, so you treat my second cousin as a heinous enemy in your heart? ”

Liu Yimin sighed: "That's different, Mr. Sun Yat-sen has already closed the coffin, and his wife is naturally respected, and she is also a friend that all parties are vying to make." Our Red Army is still struggling in difficulties, and if we win, everyone's minds will naturally be broad-minded, and no one will care whether you are a relative of Chiang Kai-shek or not. Now is the time for you to live and die, many people will have a lot of ideas, and the vigilance is naturally extremely high, and there will never be unstable factors to appear. ”

Ni Hua said: "Then if I don't go to the United States and join the Red Army directly, will it be okay?" ”

Liu Yimin turned to look at Ni Hua: "That's definitely no problem, you really join the Red Army today and be a loyal Red Army soldier, and I will apply to the Central Committee to marry you tomorrow." Such a good girl, if I don't want it, then I'm not a fool? But life is not only about love, but also about career and many other things. Can love replace your studies? Won't you regret it in the future? If you don't go to the United States to study, I have a wife, but the country will have one less medical expert who may push our medical level forward for a few years, or even more than ten years, neither of us will be so selfish, right? ”

Ni Hua said: "It only takes me three years to study in the United States, and it is not like I will not come back for a lifetime. If you have me in your heart, wait for me for three years. When I get my degree, I will immediately return to China and marry you, join your team, and fight side by side with you, even if I die! ”

Liu Yimin thought to himself that this girl was hard-hearted, if she could really come back, it would be really an ideal wife. The shadow of Tang Xingying passed over his heart, and he sighed sorry secretly, and said: "Then we have an appointment, if you graduate in three years, and I am still alive, you will come back to join the war, and we will work together to build a new China." If I die in the middle, you should never see me, don't go back to China, and live a good life in the United States. ”

Ni Hua stood up from the chair, threw himself to Liu Yimin's side, hugged him and cried: "I don't want you to die, I want you to live well, and I want to be your bride!" ”

The two hugged and kissed together, and when Ni Hua's soft lips touched Liu Yimin's lips, Liu Yimin's brain exploded with a bang, it turned out that kissing was so beautiful!

Liu Yimin, who tasted love for the first time, was out of control, and as soon as he copied his hands, he hugged Ni Hua, like a rainbow absorbing water, and kissed the sky darkly.

When the two of them calmed down, Ni Hua snuggled up to Liu Yimin's side, kissed Liu Yimin's earlobe, and murmured, "Do you know? The first time I saw you, I was fascinated by your eyes, and I thought to myself, this is you in this life, you are my man. Before I came this morning, I thought that if you rejected me, I would never marry, and I would leave in the afternoon, and I would never come back to the United States. Luckily, you're not that stupid, otherwise, you'd never want to see me again for the rest of your life. ”

Hearing Liu Yimin's warm heartbeat, he hugged Ni Hua and kissed again.

After calming down, Liu Yimin thought that since the relationship had been determined, it was impossible for him to have other ideas, and he had to plan for the future. If Ni Hua can truly join the Red Army now, he will be a veteran Red Army soldier who participated in the Long March in the future, and no one can make irresponsible remarks. asked Ni Hua to immediately go to Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong, clearly stating that he had joined the Red Army in Chengdu and had already served as the vice president of the field hospital, and asked for organizational approval to study in the United States and study for a doctorate. After completing the course, return to the team immediately and obey the organizational arrangement.

Ni Hua knew that Liu Yimin was thinking about his small family in the future, and he was actually a Red Army soldier during this time. I simply tidied up my clothes, and happily went to find Political Commissar Luo and Director Cai.

After Luo Ronghuan sent Shao Lizi's telegram, he wrote a report to the Central Committee, reporting in detail on the work and arrangements of the Seventh Army Corps. As soon as he finished writing, he heard Liu Yimin coming back, and then heard Ni Hua's low cry, Luo Ronghuan thought, this must be the army commander in a showdown with Ni Hua. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, so I sat down and began to study the situation in Shaanxi and prepare for a report to Vice Chairman Zhou. Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, the crying in the army commander's office next door had stopped, and Luo Ronghuan knew that Liu Yimin had already dealt with Ni Hua's problem, so he got up and prepared to call Liu Yimin to go to dinner together.

At this time, Ni Hua came to report.

When the door was opened, Luo Ronghuan was still muttering in his heart, could it be that Liu Yimin didn't handle things well and kicked the ball to me?

But when he opened the door and saw Ni Hua's happy face, Luo Ronghuan sighed in his heart, trouble!

After Ni Hua came in, because he was not wearing a military uniform, the salute to Luo Ronghuan seemed very irregular. Luo Ronghuan didn't care, he was eager to know the result of Liu Yimin's conversation with Ni Hua.

Ni Hua said sweetly: "Report to the political commissar, I have something I want to report to you!" ”

Luo Ronghuan nodded, asked Ni Hua to sit down, and said politely, "Doctor Ni, please speak!" ”

Ni Hua said: "Political commissar, after I joined the Red Army in Chengdu, the corps commander appointed me as the deputy director of the field hospital. During this time, I have been working in the hospital and have rarely had the opportunity to report to the organization. This morning, the regiment commander took me to see the scene of the engineering regiment distributing rations to the poor people, and an old man was so hungry that he fainted on the spot. Later, when I talked with a person who received rations, I learned that more than 2 million people starved to death in Shaanxi in the 18th year of the Republic of China, and the bark on the road was eaten up. This incident touched me a lot, I grew up so big, I never knew that there was such a thing in China. In the future, I will work even harder, make meritorious contributions to our Red Army, share life and death with the Red Army, and fight together for the construction of a new China. ”

Luo Ronghuan was very happy: "Doctor Ni, you finally understand why we [***] want to make a revolution, right?" ”

Ni Hua replied: "Report to the political commissar, I understand now. ”

Luo Ronghuan thought to himself, if this girl can really join the Red Army, how many lives can she save! He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ni Hua: "Comrade Ni Hua, I am very happy that you can recognize why we are making a revolution." Welcome to the great Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. ”

After shaking hands, Luo Ronghuan asked again: "Then can you still leave, and whether you will go to the United States to study for a doctorate?" ”

Ni Hua said: "Report to the political commissar, I came to you just to report this matter to you." I asked the organization for permission to study in the United States for a Ph.D. for three years. When the study is over, I will immediately return to China, return to the team to work, and use my knowledge and medical skills to serve the soldiers. ”

Luo Ronghuan said in his heart, it turns out that you still have to go! After pondering for a moment, Luo Ronghuan asked, "What is the opinion of the corps leader?" ”

Ni Hua said that he asked me to report to the political commissar and Director Cai.

Luo Ronghuan thought for a while and said: "Originally, everyone knew about your going to the United States to study, but at that time, you did not clearly state that you wanted to join the Red Army, nor did you say that you would return to the army in the future. Now the situation is different, since you are already a Red Army soldier in thought and action, then this matter has to be reported to the Central Committee. You wait for two days, and after we have discussed it, we will give you a clear answer. But can you tell me why so much has changed? ”

Ni Hua lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Because my lover is the Red Army, I want to fight with him, live and die together!" ”

Luo Ronghuan sighed in his heart, things still happened, it seems that Liu Yimin and Ni Hua have already determined their relationship, and Ni Hua will be determined to be a Red Army. Maybe Liu Yimin also knew that if Ni Hua did not join the Red Army, it is estimated that the organization would never agree to their marriage.

Looking at Ni Hua, Luo Ronghuan thought, this can't be blamed on Liu Yimin, no one can tell the feelings of young men and women. Besides, Ni Hua is so good, it is indeed a good match for Liu Yimin. If she can really come back after finishing her PhD, this is really a good relationship that makes people praise!

It's just that this three years to the United States is too long, can they hold on?

Luo Ronghuan felt that he was a big brother, and it was necessary to remind him. He said: "Comrade Ni Hua, have you thought about it, you will be gone for three years, this is a war era, and anything will happen." Can you guarantee that you will still love your lover three years later? Can you guarantee that your lover won't be empathetic for three years? You know, the person you love is not an ordinary Red Army soldier, but there is no shortage of suitors around him. As far as I know, it's not that he doesn't have a crush on the girl who pursues him. If it weren't for his injury, if it wasn't for your sudden appearance, the organization planned to get him married soon. You have to think about these things! ”

Ni Hua looked at Luo Ronghuan and said, "Political commissar, I know the situation you said, and I decided it after careful consideration. Don't say three years, I will only love him alone in this life. As for him, I'm sure he'll love me for the rest of my life. If you can't even wait for me for three years, then you don't blame anyone else, you can only blame me for being blind. ”

Luo Ronghuan stared at Ni Hua: "If your lover gets married to someone else in the past three years, you will not return to the army!" ”

Ni Hua knew that this sentence was very important, so he said directly: "I also want to come back, since I am a Red Army, I will accept the discipline of the Red Army." I knew that if I didn't come back, in the minds of the soldiers, I would become a deserter and I would not be able to hold my head up for the rest of my life. However, I reported to the political commissar in advance that if something unexpected happened in the middle and he had to marry someone else, I would still snatch him back when I returned. Anyway, no matter what, I will not give up on this person. ”

Luo Ronghuan knew that this girl was hard-hearted and couldn't persuade her to look back. He said, "Comrade Ni Hua, I would like to congratulate you on the fulfillment of your wishes. However, this matter cannot be said to the outside world for the time being, and if you let the Kuomintang know about it, it will affect your going abroad. Nor can it be made public to the Red Army troops, and this matter must be approved by the organization, after all, the corps commander is a high-ranking cadre of our party, and his marriage is not entirely his personal matter. I don't have to go to the hospital for these two days, so let the soldiers accompany me to have a good time in Xi'an. I'm sure my superiors will reply soon. Let's go, let's call the Legion Commander to dinner together. ”

Ni Hua said, "Thank you, political commissar!" He happily went to call Liu Yimin to eat.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Zeng Zhongsheng, chief of staff of the Red Seventh Army, finally arrived in Xi'an.

After briefly reporting to Liu Yimin on the situation of meeting with the central leaders, Zeng Zhongsheng asked Liu Yimin to explain his work and go to the troops to familiarize himself with the situation.

Liu Yimin particularly liked the pragmatic work attitude of his comrades-in-arms, so he said to Zeng Zhongsheng: "Chief of Staff, you have three things to do in the past two days: First, immediately improve the staff office; my idea is to have a division chief and two deputy division chiefs, and there are five departments, including the Operations Section, the Military Training Section, the Investigation Section, the Surveying and Mapping Section, and the Reserve Force Management Section. In addition to Luo Yan, the head of the investigation section is concurrently concurrently serving, and the other personnel will discuss with Political Commissar Luo and Director Cai, take a list, and study it together. Second, it was said that the 13th Division would start to operate and occupy Tianshui, with the goal of controlling Tianshui and seizing the ammunition and materials hoarded by Hu Zongnan; The 12th Division also had to act and occupy Pingliang and Guyuan. The 11th Division moved to Ankang and prepared to solve Yang Hucheng's department. You and Chief of Staff Qian cooperated closely to pay close attention to the enemy's movements in the direction of Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, and Tongguan, and kept abreast of the progress of the troops. The third is that you go to the field hospital to check your physical condition, and if you have any problems, treat them as soon as possible, so as not to leave hidden dangers. We have a long road to revolution, and there is a lot of work, so don't be in a hurry, and do it slowly one by one. ”

After listening to Liu Yimin's words, Zeng Zhongsheng truly realized what trust and care between comrades-in-arms is. He has been in Hubei, Henan and Anhui for so many years, and he was the main leader before Zhang Guotao went, and he was busy fighting wars every day, not to mention that other comrades rarely talked to him, even he himself was too busy to communicate with his comrades. After Zhang Guotao went, needless to say, it was basically a nightmare.

Zeng Zhongsheng, who was moved in his heart, saluted Liu Yimin in a proper manner, saying that he would guarantee to complete the task.

Liu Yimin took Zeng Zhongsheng to meet Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan again. Political Commissar Luo is very familiar with Zeng Zhongsheng's deeds, but he has not seen him. This meeting quickly became acquainted.

Liu Yimin asked Li Chengyi to notify Cai Zhong, Wu Zheng, Qian Zhuangfei, and Hu Di to meet in the office of Political Commissar Luo.

Several people soon came. At this time, the leadership team of the legion can be considered to be ready.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, several people were single, and when they met Zeng Zhongsheng for the first time, several people opened a bottle of Moutai brought from Guizhou in Luo Ronghuan's office and exchanged ideas. Naturally, this exchange was very lively, and the situation of the first and fourth front armies was completely clear. Zeng Zhongsheng was busy inquiring about his comrades-in-arms working in the First Front Army, while Luo Ronghuan and others were anxious to inquire about their comrades-in-arms working in the Fourth Front Army. Listening to who sacrificed, who was betrayed by traitors, and who was purged and killed, everyone was embarrassed.

Especially when Zeng Zhongsheng talked about the tragic situation when Xu Jishen died, several people who drank couldn't help but lose their voices in pain and scolded Zhang Guotao for not being a human being.

After scolding, Hu Di said: "Chief of Staff, after listening to your words, I understand why the corps commander is so disgusted with the security department. Last time in Chengdu, when the corps commander woke up, he heard that Li Chengyi and the guards had been taken away by the Security Bureau for investigation, and immediately asked me to bring people back, and repeatedly said that he was seriously injured and needed Li Chengyi's service. I now know that he was afraid that Li Chengyi would be wronged. ”

Cai Zhong said: "You only know now, I knew the purpose of the legion commander at that time. Hey, we're drinking, where did the legion captain go? ”

Luo Ronghuan took a look, and Liu Yimin really didn't know when he had slipped away. After thinking about it for a while, I knew that the legion commander who was in love must have gone to accompany Ni Hua. It's not right to think about it again, Liu Yimin is not the kind of person who is easily dizzy, I'm afraid he is thinking about the war in Gansu. He smiled and said, "Everyone drink, I'll go and see!" ”
