"Sister......

Gong Qian opened her tired eyes, pressed An Yi, who was struggling to sit up, on the bed, and gently removed the wet towel on An Yi's head to cool down: "Don't get drunk in the future, you make my sister and Wu's mother worry to death, and Wu's mother served you for a night and just went to sleep." ”

An Yi closed his eyes and raised his hand to rub his swollen temples, Gong Qian changed a wet towel and folded it, carefully placed it on An Yi's forehead, opened his hands and gently rubbed his head for him, a pair of beautiful eyes full of love.

An Yi opened his eyes and looked around, grabbed Gong Qian's warm hands and asked in a low voice, "Sister, why did I come to you?" ”

"After you waited for dinner for half the night, I heard the car outside the door, my sister and Wu's mother went out, knowing that you don't have a car and don't want to trouble people, it is not easy to send the car back so late, but Chief Chen Cheng sweated profusely and ordered your chief of guard to carry you out of the car, how can you be drunk like this and no one will take care of you? After I thanked Chen Cheng, I asked Xiao Jiu and them to carry you in. ”

Gong Qian sighed, and pulled out her hand to caress An Yi's pale face: "Xiao Yi, don't drink like this in the future, you are a general now, everything is not easy to come by, you must learn to cherish, cherish your reputation, cherish your body, okay?" ”

An Yi nodded gratefully: "Sister, I will never get drunk again in the future." ”

Gong Qian smiled, stood up and brought An Yi a cup of hot sugar tea, watched An Yi finish drinking it with relief, and gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief: "Do you want more?" ”

"Enough, drink this cup of sugar tea and your stomach is much more comfortable. Sister, I'm not so delicate, and I'll be alive again after a while. ”

An Yi smiled, looked at Gong Qian's concerned face, and his heart was full of happiness: "Sister, my little brother always makes trouble for you, but he never does anything for my sister, my little brother feels uncomfortable." ”

Gong Qian slapped An Yi lightly: "What nonsense? If you say anything like this, see if I don't clean you up. Okay, it's almost dawn, if you can get up, get out, my sister hasn't slept all night, she doesn't sleep for a while, she has no energy all day, and there is still a lot of work to be done. ”

An Yi got up quickly, saw the clean military uniform neatly placed on a low stool and hurriedly put it on: "Sister, where are my guns and briefcase?" ”

"I asked Xiao Jiu to take it back, and sent this clean clothes, remember to eat breakfast, otherwise your stomach will be uncomfortable."

Gong Qian took An Yi's arm and sent him to the gate, opened the door to see An Yi away, closed the door, leaned on the door panel, closed his eyes, and gasped loudly, and it took a while before he slowly walked back to the room with his undulating heart.

Half an hour later, three tall war horses carried An Yi and his two guards through the city, and the city of Nanjing slowly woke up at the first rays of dawn.

The personal guard Ling Hanfeng whispered to An Yi that horses and animal-powered carts were forbidden to pass on the main roads of Nanjing, and An Yi smiled at the guard who was born in the Taoist sect: "Lao Tzu not only has to ride a horse through the city, but also ride a horse to wherever he wants to go, to see who can do what Lao Tzu does." ”

Xiao Jiu and Ling Hanfeng looked at each other and smiled, followed An Yi to the front of the barracks and dismounted, and at this time the wake-up call sounded.

During this day's training, An Yi still stood motionless under the tree away from the team and watched, except for the occasional return salute. The brothers also learned the news of the rout of the front-line reading division one after another, except for a comforting smile to An Yi, no one bothered him, but An Yi's heart fluctuated, and he couldn't calm down for a moment, until after the long-distance run in the afternoon, An Yi still did not receive the call of Principal Jiang, he was very sad, and there was a trace of anxiety, and his mind was almost full of familiar faces of the brothers on the front line.

Zhang Zhizhong led the division generals and colonels to the general headquarters for a meeting early, so An Yi did not say goodbye again, chatted with Du Yuming, Zheng Jiemin, Luo Qun, Li Zhengtao and Fang Tian and other senior brothers for a while before politely saying goodbye, riding on horses and leaving the camp, and soon entered Zhongshan North Road, which had just changed its name.

Entering the crossroads and moving forward along the bustling streets, An Yi on horseback felt the curious eyes of the people around him, and then remembered the ban on horseback riding on the main streets of the city, but An Yi, who was angry, still went his own way, and didn't care, the three war horses were all horses in a thousand, carrying three majestic soldiers dripping forward, which was extremely conspicuous.

When the three of them rode to the intersection of Hehui Street, they were finally stopped by two dutiful policemen.

An Yi looked at the policeman standing in front of the horse expressionlessly, his legs gently clamped the horse's belly, and the little black horse raised his proud head and strode forward, so frightened that the two policemen hurriedly jumped away, one of them recognized An Yi, and hurriedly grabbed the partner next to him, and in a few words, he shut up the partner who wanted to scold, and looked at An Yi's distance blankly and sighed: "I still want to blow the whistle to recruit the gendarme, but I didn't expect it to be General An, but it's a pity ......"

"Don't recruit any gendarmes, which of those commanders in the gendarmerie is not General An's brother? Don't be bored, but then again, the General Headquarters' punishment of General An was too heavy, and I didn't believe it when I first heard the news, so didn't I scold a few words about myself? Which sentence is wrong? I said that I have to fuck inch inch, grandma's ......"

"Pull it down! Except for General An, who dares to scold me? Don't you see that a large number of expatriates are still flaunting their might in the land under our jurisdiction? Who of the central political axes in the Heavenly King's Mansion has said a word? Resign yourself to your fate......"

As soon as An Yi reached the head of the new Hongqiao, a black Citroen sedan slowly caught up with An Yi and pulled over at the other end of the bridge. An Yi glanced at the license plate and didn't pay attention to it again, but was stopped by a call after crossing the bridge.

An Yi recognized the major general who got out of the car, quickly turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to Xiao Jiu, and strode forward to salute:

"Hello Sir Li! How did you come to Nanjing? Is Chief Li Degong also here? ”

Li Zongren's adjutant Li Zhifan returned the salute and warmly stepped forward to shake hands: "Duke De is on the front line, where can he go away?" I came to handle military affairs, and I happened to see you riding a horse and felt very familiar, so I took a second look, and it turned out to be really you, what a coincidence, haha...... How? You're ......."

An Yi glanced at the nameplate on his chest and said with a wry smile: "The junior brother is now the head of the headquarters instructor supplement group, which makes the chief smile." The chief should go first, his subordinates don't dare to disturb the chief's business, go back and ask his subordinates to say hello to Chief Li and Chief of Staff Wang! ”

"How's this going to work, oh my God! I didn't know you were being dealt with so badly. ”

Li Zhifan saw that there were many onlookers gathered around, and hurriedly grabbed An Yi's arm: "Go!" I'm done with things, it's time to eat, let's have a drink together, anyway, I don't have a place to go and I have to find a place to eat, if you don't know the place well, you can accompany me, I also want to hear your opinion on the upcoming battle of Xuzhou. ”

"This ......"

An Yi wanted to refuse, Li Zhifan invited again and again, An Yi excused himself but thought about it and said: "That's it, Chief Li, the subordinates live in Houzai Lane not far ahead, and the subordinates will ride the horses back first, or the chief will take a step first and tell the subordinates where they are, and the subordinates will definitely rush there as soon as possible." ”

"No, no! I'll follow you, otherwise you'll have to find a car, it's too troublesome, let's go, I'll call the car to follow. "Li Zhifan is very considerate and thoughtful.

An Yi nodded, quickly got on the horse and hurried back to Houzai Lane, and when he arrived at the door, he told Xiao Jiu to go and tell Wu Ma not to come back for dinner, and then walked to the car that Li Zhifan followed, got into the back seat and enthusiastically asked about the current progress of the Third Route Army commanded by General Li Zongren, Li Zhifan explained to An Yi one by one, and told An Yi that Zhang Fakui's troops on the Wuhan side had attacked Linying City, Tang Shengzhi's troops had conquered Xiangcheng, and it was possible to conquer Xuchang, and Feng Yuxiang's troops had taken the first line of Gongxian in the east of Luoyang and began to attack Zhengzhou.

The car stopped in front of the champion building in the north of the Confucius Temple, An Yi hurriedly opened the car door, went around to the other side to open the door for Li Zhifan, Li Zhifan stopped and said that An Yi was too polite, An Yi smiled and respectfully asked Li Zhifan to move forward, and said to Li Zhifan that he would be the east this time.

Where did Li Zhifan agree, the two of them humbly entered the champion building, and when Zhike saw a general and a colonel coming in, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet the inquiry, and quickly arranged a luxurious private room at the east end of the third floor, and led the two upstairs courteously.

An Yi politely asked Li Zhifan to go first, and suddenly saw a very familiar figure wearing a dark gray literati robe when he entered the hall, and hurriedly apologized to the humble Li Zhifan, and strode up to greet him:

"Brother Dai, why are you here? Alone? ”

Dai Li, who was looking into the depths of the hall, turned his head and was very happy to see that it was An Yi: "Xiao Yi? I thought you lived in the barracks, what? Do you invite someone or do you invite you? ”

An Yi grabbed Dai Li and walked towards Li Zhifan, who was watching: "On the way home, I occasionally met Commander Li Zhifan, the adjutant of General Li Delin of the Seventh Army, let's go, I'll talk to you later...... Chief Li, let me introduce, this is my Huangpu student Dai Lian Dai Yunong, we haven't seen each other for a long time, haha!

Let's go upstairs together...... I'm sorry for you, shopkeeper, we don't have to order food, just come to the table for three people and serve ten oceans of wine and food, you can do it! ”

"Great! General An, the contemptible people recognize you, haha! The general can rest assured, everything is served by contemptible people, and the general is guaranteed to eat and drink well! ”

The shopkeeper was originally standing aside and smiling, but he would not greet him personally when he reached his identity, which was not a special guest, and after seeing that it was An Yi, he didn't say a word and was as busy as running the hall, his voice was full of anger, and his voice was loud, and a few words attracted everyone's attention. The diners recognized An Yi and cheered loudly, An Yi smiled when he saw this, and hurriedly pulled Dai Li and Li Zhifan up the stairs quickly.

Li Zhifan was very reluctant to come in with Dai Li, who had never known his life, but he couldn't refuse so he had to give up, and entered the private room to sit down, Dai Li took the maid's teapot and politely poured tea for Li Zhifan, An Yi hung up his hat and turned around to see that Dai Li had already poured tea and sat down, and whispered to the maid to quickly put on a few hot towels.

"May I ask where Brother Dai is?" Li Zhifan tapped his fingers on the table to show his gratitude, and his keen eyes looked up and down the cloth cloth.

Dai Li put down the teapot, sat down slowly, and replied humbly: "Back to the chief, the contemptible person is a student of the sixth phase of Huangpu, but after Ning and Han parted ways, thousands of classmates scattered like birds and beasts, and now they can't return to school, and they have nowhere to go, so they can only stay in Nanjing for the time being and wait for further notice." ”

"I see, it's a pity!"

Li Zhifan sighed with regret on his face, and his heart suddenly felt a lot lighter, and he completely lost the vigilance he had at the beginning.

An Yi saw the contempt for Dai Li in Li Zhifan's eyes, and hurriedly said with a smile: "My subordinates are very close to Brother Dai and have a good relationship. ”

"Xiao Yi, what are you polite? Your setback this time is only temporary, the foolish brother is definitely optimistic about your future, if the foolish brother achieves nothing, he will not get you to eat, haha! ”

Dai Li, who has been rolling in Shanghai for several years, has already seen Li Zhifan's true attitude, and is deeply grateful for An Yi's words.

After returning to Nanjing, Zeng Guangqing, who was very busy, remembered Dai Li's affairs, but he had to accompany President Jiang to inspect the front line, Hu Zongnan led a division to station in Yizheng, and it was rare to go back to Nanjing, and the recovered commander of the first division Deng Zhenquan was reinstated, Hu Zongnan returned to the post of deputy division commander again, Dai Li was left in Nanjing without relatives and no reason, he was indeed lonely and depressed, originally said that he was in a bad mood and wanted to find a place to have a drink, and unconsciously walked into the luxurious champion building, looked around and suddenly remembered that he was shy in his pocket, and pretended to look for someone to cover up his embarrassment. As soon as he wanted to quit, he was stopped by An Yi. Seeing An Yi so maintained and cared for at this moment, how could he not move Dai Li's heart?

After three rounds of drinking, everyone unconsciously talked about the front-line war, Li Zhifan sincerely admired An Yi's military talent, and then transferred to the Seventh Army after speaking, until the wine was half-drunk, and they were both interested in each other.

After Li Zhifan praised Li Zongren's wisdom and martial arts, he sighed deeply and said, "General An is really wronged!" Since ancient times, all talents have suffered a lot, only with General An's extraordinary experience and outstanding military exploits, it is long time ago that he should have taken charge of himself and showed his talents to the fullest, so if such a talent is in our Seventh Army, the lowest officer is a lieutenant general, division commander or deputy army commander, where is it like General An who has silently endured exclusion and suppressed everywhere for a long time? Just a few words of righteousness, a famous general of the Northern Expedition who shocked all directions fell into the miserable situation of demotion and demotion, which is really unfair! ”

An Yi picked up his wine glass and smiled: "Thank you, sir, for being so kind, An Yi is grateful!" It's just that An Yi is young and ignorant, too arrogant, and talks about state affairs without concealment, which is why he has today's profound lesson.

Actually, it doesn't matter if you are not a general, as long as you can be with my brothers and share weal and sorrow, I will feel very happy, but this world is different, if I am not a general, it is likely to be cannon fodder for those incompetents, so ah, my subordinates don't know where to go, sometimes my subordinates really want to take off this military uniform and leave, and return to the familiar shopping mall to work hard, but I can't achieve a career, but ...... But when I think of the many brothers on the front line who have shared weal and woe, I can't be so ruthless.

To be honest, I really don't want to do it anymore after the Northern Expedition, it's really difficult to be controlled by people everywhere! Come, a toast to Chief Li! Brother Dai, don't be idle, come together! ”

Li Zhifan and Dai Lisa smiled and raised their glasses to touch, Dai Li's mouth warmly told Dai Lisa to go back and drink a few glasses together.

An Yi saw that Dai Li insisted on leaving, but he didn't stop him, and asked him to come back quickly and instructed the maid to pour wine, Li Zhifan took the wine jug in the maid's hand and signaled her to stand down, poured it for An Yi with his own hands, returned to his seat and poured himself another glass, then put down the flask and asked sincerely:

"General An, I very much hope that General An can cheer up, with the talent of a general, it is more than enough to control a mere division, and our Seventh Army is lacking such a talented person. The general also knows that the expansion of our Seventh Army is imminent, and at present, the first and second divisions will be expanded into two armies, and the two supplementary brigades have now been upgraded to instructors, and the third army will be formed immediately after the expansion of the first division and the second division. ”

An Yi was taken aback when he heard this, shook his head and muttered in disbelief, "What?" Lieutenant General Division Commander? What lieutenant general division commander? ”

Li Zhifan rubbed his hands and aggravated his tone: "General An, I can't hide it, Duke De attaches great importance to the general's character and talent, and very much hopes that the general can consider it in detail...... Where in the world is there such a thing as jealousy of talents? Looking at the Whampoa Department, there are only a few talented scholars, and the general is an outstanding representative of the Whampoa Department, but he is not accepted by the Whampoa Department. ”

"Wait! Chief Li, his subordinates are confused, do these words mean by Chief Li or by Duke De? An Yi heard the true meaning of his words, and was so frightened that he woke up most of the time.

Li Zhifan smiled slightly: "General, do you think there is a difference?" If I say that this is what the soldiers of the Seventh Army meant, how would the general feel? ”

An Yi picked up the wine glass and drank it all, shook his head with a long sigh and smiled bitterly: "Thank you, Chief Li!" Thank you to the soldiers of the Seventh Army for looking up to me An Yi so much, but I An Yi has how many catties and taels I have, but I know very well in my heart that it is far from being as good as the general said.

To be honest, I don't want to fight at all, after every battle, I feel uncomfortable when I see corpses all over the ground and rivers of blood, and I don't have the joy and pride of achieving fame at all, and because of this, I don't care about how big my official position is, I only worry about being blindly commanded and sent to death in vain, and now the situation in the Northern Expedition is very good, I just want to go home after fighting this battle wholeheartedly, marry a wife, have children, do business and make money, and revitalize industry and commerce is also a way to save the country and a good way, it is better than fighting and killing to make me ......feel at ease."

"General An, please listen to me again......" Li Zhifan stood up anxiously.

"Please sit down Sir Li! Have a seat! ”

An Yi sincerely asked Li Zhifan to sit down: "Chief Li's kindness is appreciated by his subordinates!" Thank you very much for your kindness, if An Yi can get the opportunity to go to the battlefield again, he will definitely work together with the officers and men of the Seventh Army to complete the great cause of the revolution as soon as possible, so that An Yi can also fulfill his promise and disarm and engage in business with peace of mind! Come, An Yi respects Chief Li for a cup, this deep friendship, An Yi remembers it in his heart! ”

Li Zhifan helplessly watched An Yi fill himself with a glass, raised the wine glass and wanted to persuade him, An Yi's wine glass had been delivered in front of him, so he could only drink a glass with a light touch, and after sitting down, he looked at An Yi who poured the wine again with regret, and was just about to speak when he heard the door ring, Dai Li hurriedly came back.

Dai Li's face was full of laughter and apologized loudly, raised his wine glass to punish himself three glasses, sat down and politely poured wine for Li Zhifan and An Yi.

Seeing this, Li Zhifan had to endure the surname and drink two glasses, pretending to smile and be kind, and stayed for half an hour Everyone went downstairs together, Li Zhifan rushed to check out the bill and enthusiastically sent An Yi and Dai Li back, An Yi hurriedly thanked him, saying that he wanted to go away and disperse the wine, and respectfully sent Li Zhifan to the car and left, which gave him a long sigh of relief.

Walking to the Qinhuai River, An Yi stopped, took out a cash check of 1,000 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Dai Li's hand, seeing Dai Li's refusal, he said unhappily: "My senior brother, what are you polite?" In the future, you can pay me back when you have money! ”

Dai Li thought about it and happily accepted it: "How do you know that I am short of money?" ”

"When you first entered the private room, you sat down and made no sound, and when you sat down after you came back, I heard the sound of silver dollars coming out of your pocket, so I guess you went out to get money and came back to rush to pay for the drink." After An Yi finished speaking casually, he looked at the flower boat on the Qinhuai River and sighed.

Dai Li lost his voice and laughed: "I really convinced you, I thought you were almost drunk, but it turns out that you are so vigilant and shrewd, amazing!" No wonder you have no last resort to fight a battle, and you will win every battle. ”

An Yi shook his head and smiled: "Where am I so capable as you say?" It's just that I was drunk by Brother Cai Zhongwat last night, and I was carried back unconscious, which caused my sister and Wu's mother to not sleep all night, and I couldn't go away, so I promised my sister not to get drunk again in this life.

In fact, I drank a good amount of alcohol, and the three of them drank less than two bottles just now, so they couldn't get me drunk, but it was Chief Li's words that frightened me, alas...... These troubled times! ”

"What did Chief Li say?" Dai Li asked curiously. An Yi waved his hand: "It's all marginal words, don't say it." Okay, Brother Dai, I have to go back, otherwise my sister will have to worry again. I have to early tomorrow, when will this ghost come to an end! ”

Dai Li comforted in a low voice: "Xiao Yi, don't worry, everything will be fine when the principal comes back, I believe you will be able to return to the battlefield." ”

"I hope the headmaster will be back at noon, but...... Don't talk about it, Brother Dai, the younger brother is back, do you want to go back to live with me? The house that my younger brother just bought, spacious. An Yi asked.

Dai Lian shook his head: "No, I went back to live with my friend, and I have been used to living with him." ”

"Okay then, I'll go back."

An Yi smiled and wanted to call a rickshaw, but Xiao Jiu and the two guards had already led the horse over, An Yi turned over on the horse, waved his hand at Dai Li, and left leisurely.

Dai Li watched An Yi ride away in surprise, shook his head and smiled, and called the two rickshaws to go straight to the headquarters on Changjiang Road. In fact, he didn't go far after he went out just now, but exchanged an ocean for entering the private room next door, and listened to the conversation between Li Zhifan and An Yi clearly.

Dai Li clearly knew that this matter was not trivial, since General Li Delin sent a guest to envelop An Yi, there would be a second and third time, if Commander-in-Chief Chiang did not reuse his brother with extraordinary wisdom and bravery, it would be difficult for Bao Yi to withstand the temptation again and again.

If An Yi, who has been suffering a lot, really throws himself into Li Zongren's arms in anger, or disengages in business in depression, not only will Commander-in-Chief Jiang's camp suffer huge losses, but he will also lose such a good brother who is so affectionate and generous, so Dai Li decided to report this matter to Zeng Guangqing as soon as possible, not afraid of 10,000, just in case!
