Chapter 1304 The rainstorm is coming

At midnight, fierce gunfire came from the east of Beiping City, which surprised An Yi, who was saying goodbye to Hu Jialin, Huang Yingwu and others. Lin Yaodong, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, immediately drove to the shooting site, and reported more than ten minutes later that the garrison headquarters found a stream of rogue gangsters near the Dongdan vegetable market, and had a fierce shootout with them, killing six suspects on the spot, because the other party was equipped with two Czech light machine guns and a mortar, resulting in the death of 12 soldiers of the garrison headquarters besieging it.

An Yi's heart moved, and he walked quickly to Shen Fengdao: "Old Shen, did you say that this group of people is the one who is preparing to attack us on East Chang'an Street?" ”

"I don't know, maybe I am!" Shen Fengdao frowned slightly: "This group of people is well equipped, what is the reason for them to temporarily cancel the action against us?" Could it be that they are trying to ambush someone else? ”

An Yi waved his hand: "As long as the trouble is solved, it doesn't matter who he wants to deal with, as long as we are all safe." However, the people of Beiping City have been operating for a long time, even if many families moved south after the Lugou Bridge Incident, there are still more than one million people, and it is conceivable to hide some gangsters, and everyone must be careful when entering and exiting in the future. ”

Hu Jialin nodded, saw the arrival of thirteen military vehicles seconded from the theater command full of officers and soldiers of the regimental military police, and held An Yi's hand: "Be careful along the way, remember what you yourself said: only by saving yourself can you better fight the enemy!" ”

An Yi said with a smile: "Huzi, you are too cautious, I am going back to Baoding now, and I am going back to Nanjing tomorrow, where is the danger that threatens me?" But you should take care of your own safety...... Okay, Sister Qing beckoned in the car, I have to go, you all take care! ”

After speaking, An Yi waved his hand to everyone and got into the off-road vehicle whose engine had been started. As a military vehicle opened the road in front of it, Lin Yaodong's off-road vehicle followed closely, followed by An Yi's car, and the twelve military vehicles behind followed suit, and the huge convoy slowly disappeared at the corner of the Qinzheng Palace.

Under the protection of the officers and soldiers of the military police regiment led by Xiao Ruofei, An Yi and his entourage met with the families of Zhou, Wu, and Lu, and drove cautiously all the way, and finally arrived at Daqianmen Railway Station, where the train that had been waiting here sounded the whistle.

The Zhou family, including Zhou Ziwei, has more than 30 people, and the Lu family has more than 10 people, but Wu Peifu lives up to the name of honesty, and only his son Wu Daoshi and two attendants go south.

An Yi didn't step forward to say hello, but just nodded to the familiar Zhou Ziwei, and together with Ye Qing, Shen Fengdao and Lin Yaodong, they entered the newly decorated carriage in the middle. Since it was not clear whether Chiang Kai-shek still wanted An Yi to sit in North China, the staff team did not take it with him, and stayed in Beiping to discuss the battle plan with Hu Jialin and others.

After getting on the train, Shen Fengdao and Lin Yaodong chose a seat at the beginning and end of the carriage respectively, Xiao Ruofei was a little restrained, and was pulled down by Shen Fengdao. Ye Qing and An Yi sat together, took out the interview notes, and revised them carefully, An Yi felt that the air in the carriage was particularly humid, and bowed down and opened the window.

The carriage was specially adapted to meet the needs of the powerful, and the long carriage resembled a huge bar, with four sofa seats in a half-bowl layout, in addition to the alleyway that could accommodate two people to pass side by side. In the middle of the sofa was a fixed coffee table, and the guards were busy putting the tea on the table and then retreating.

After the train started, feeling the cool breeze from the window, An Yi stretched his waist comfortably. At this time, there was a knock on the carriage door, Lin Yaodong stood up vigilantly, glanced through the glass window between the carriages, opened the carriage door, An Yi looked up, it turned out to be Zhou Qingrong, the head of the Zhou family who had met on the Xiangluan Pavilion and the station platform, followed by his three sons.

Zhou Qingrong is in his early sixties, his lean face is full of wrinkles, but his eyes are shining, and the whole person looks good. The boss Zhou Huairen has a haggard face and is slightly old, *** Zhou Huaili has a well-proportioned figure and a good demeanor, both of them are wearing suits, and at first glance they are dressed as businessmen in this period. As for the third child, Zhou Huaiyi, he is a little untidy, and his mind does not belong, as if he is sleepwalking.

Zhou Qingrong took his three sons, smiled and sat down opposite An Yi and Ye Qing's seats, and first expressed his gratitude to An Yi for his generosity.

An Yi knew Zhou Qingrong's thoughts, but seeing that he was Wu Peifu's in-laws, he was polite and beckoned the guards to bring tea. Since they don't have much friendship with each other, An Yi stops at the point when talking, which neither makes people feel left out nor overly affectionate. After greeting for more than ten minutes and saying a lot of unnutritious words, Zhou Qingrong still had no intention of saying goodbye, and An Yi suddenly got a little tired of it.

The businessmen of this era have a sense of speculation, the Zhou family and Wu Peifu were married, and their minds may not be pure, but at this moment, they can get acquainted with An Yi, who is a high-ranking and powerful and known as the largest capitalist in the country, so they naturally try their best to catch it, provoking Ye Qingtou, who was sitting next to An Yi and flipping through his notes, turned out the window and rolled his eyes.

Just when An Yi was thinking about how to send off guests, Lu Bicheng represented the Lu family and led several nieces to thank him, and An Yi was surprised to find that Zhou Ziwei was actually mixed in the Lu family.

Lu Bicheng looks like he is in his early forties, and his appearance is a bit like Wang Zuxian in later generations. She has short curled hair and wears a dress that is rare in this era, giving people a fresh and refined feeling. Even Ye Qing, who has a high eyesight, is also interested in the graceful Lu Bicheng.

After entering the carriage, Lu Bicheng nodded to the Zhou family, and came straight to An Yi, with his palms clasped together in front of his chest, his ten fingers together, and he bent down slightly at An Yi and nodded.

An Yi knew at a glance that this was a thank you gift from the Buddhist family, so he hurriedly folded his hands and returned the salute, and said in his mouth: "Don't dare, don't dare, you can't thank everyone Lu like this." An Yi has long heard that there is a strange woman in Beiping who is brilliant and has been through the past and the present, and I don't want to see it today, this is An Yi's honor! ”

Lu Bicheng's eyes were clear: "General An, I thank you for this gift on behalf of millions of people in the Pingjin area, if it weren't for the mainstay of the An family's army, I don't know how many innocent people will suffer." Bicheng originally had the idea of becoming a monk and escaping the world, but seeing the tyranny of the Japanese invaders, if these beasts could not be driven away, my Huaxia would be devastated. May I ask General An, Bicheng wants to do something for my people, but I don't know what to do? ”

An Yi was slightly stunned, and looked at Zhou Ziwei, who was snuggled up to Lu Bicheng. Zhou Zi smiled slightly, a pair of eyes gurgling, looking eccentric.

Lu Bicheng seemed to see An Yi's hesitation, and his expression was slightly gloomy: "Bicheng knows that this request is a bit shallow and deep...... Alas, Bicheng witnessed the atrocities of the Japanese army, and his heart was shocked, and he really didn't want to ..... like this again."

"Bang-"

"Boom—"

Outside the rushing train, a bright lightning bolt pierced the sky, followed by a series of high-pitched thunders. An Yi turned his head in surprise when he heard the sound, only to see that it had been raining outside the train for some time, and listening to this momentum, the rain would not be light next, and he couldn't help but secretly worry about the reconnaissance of the Air Force tomorrow.

As soon as Ye Qing heard that the gentle and elegant woman in front of him was Lu Bicheng, a strange woman from the Republic of China, he hurriedly pulled her to sit down, and said happily like a child:

"Sister Bicheng, you, like the Jianhu Woman, are the pride of all our women. Xiao Yi, Sister Lu founded the Zhili Women's Normal School, and also served as the secretary to the president of the Beiyang government, and later founded an industrial company in Shanghai, and accumulated considerable wealth in two or three years. If Sister Bicheng can come out to do things, she will definitely be able to become a banner for us in southern Sichuan to use talents in an eclectic way! ”

An Yi saw Ye Qing's fanatical side for the first time, he couldn't help crying and laughing, and thought for a while: "Sister Qing, how do you think about this, after the Lu family arrived in Syria, they temporarily assisted Mayor Dong in taking care of the cultural affairs of Syria, and when they had time to write some social comments for "Sanjiang Daily", what do you think?" ”

Ye Qing nodded again and again, Lu Bicheng hesitated slightly, and finally nodded in agreement.

Zhou Ziwei was a little surprised, she knew that her third aunt had always insisted on writing only in literary language, opposing the vernacular literary movement that began after May Fourth, and now she agreed to write editorials for the daily newspaper, which was determined to break the rules in her heart. However, Zhou Ziwei believes that with Lu Bicheng's artistic sense and descriptive skills, if he can create in the vernacular, his achievements will be limitless.

Zhou Qingrong's eyes lit up when he saw it on the other side, and hurriedly *** his third son: "General An, my junior is also a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania in the United States, and he has been engaged in his research at home since returning to China, but he has not achieved anything until now, if the general can help him, I would be grateful." ”

An Yi couldn't laugh or cry, although from last year to this year, a large number of scientists from various countries in Syria left one after another after completing their contracts, but the scientific talents who chose to stay and the scientific talents cultivated by Syria itself in recent years have raised Syria's scientific research capabilities to a new height, and have already passed the extreme thirst for talents at the beginning, even if it is a Jewish scientist who recently moved to southern Yunnan, all An Yi can do is to rebuild laboratories and research institutes for them, and start anew.

Zhou Qingrong saw An Yi's disapproving look, he was a little anxious, and hurriedly pushed his son: "Huaiyi, you tell General An about what you have studied!" ”

Zhou Huaiyi was about thirty years old, his hair was messy, and he had been wandering outside the world, but after being shaken awake by his father, he asked blankly, "What are you doing?" I'm thinking about the problem......" Seeing An Yi's funny gaze on the other side, his sloppy eyes gathered and shrugged: "I'm sorry, I've been thinking about a math problem all this time, it's rude!" ”

The thunder and wind and rain outside were too noisy, and Ye Qing, who was chatting happily with Lu Bicheng, hurriedly stood up and closed the train window tightly.

When Ye Qing returned to his seat, An Yi asked with a smile, "What kind of math problem is it?" Thinking so devoted? ”

Zhou Huaiyi scratched his head: "I said that the general may not understand, recently I have been studying John. Feng. Neumann's theory of linear self-adjoint operator spectrum on Hilbert space, as well as a proof method for solving Hilbert's fifth problem using compact groups. ”

"Oh......" An Yi was at a loss when he heard this: "I really don't know about these, by the way, are these studies by Mr. useful for code breaking?" ”

"Password cracking?" Zhou Huaiyi shook his head: "No, of course not, this is an operator theory, and it is about *** matrix ......"

An Yi shook his head a little disappointed, and didn't ask any more questions, at this time, Ye Qing took the initiative to take Lu Bicheng's hand and sat down at another table, and several girls brought by Lu Bicheng also followed, Zhou Zi sat next to An Yi with a smile: "Brother Xiao Yi, my third uncle is very powerful, he cracked a set of cryptographic functions offered by the Americans before returning to China, and made the American Telegraph Company, which was originally for commercial promotion, pay my third uncle 100,000 US dollars." My third uncle took the money back to China. ”

An Yi glanced at Zhou Huaiyi with some surprise, only to see that his eyes were gradually dilute again, and he was probably thinking about his math problem again, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Zhou Qingrong saw that his granddaughter and An Yi seemed to be very familiar, and the words that he originally wanted to scold her for not being polite swallowed into his stomach at once, and turned to look at it with a kind face, his eyes full of silent encouragement. Zhou Huaili was secretly surprised, although he knew that his daughter seemed to have some friendship with An Yi, the commander of An Jiajun's army, but he didn't expect such a close relationship.

Zhou Huairen, the boss of the Zhou family, was overjoyed. Due to the malicious sabotage of *** people, the business of the Zhou family in Beiping has reached the point where it is difficult to maintain, Zhou Huairen is worried about how to live after the family moves to Syria, and now I see that Zhou Ziwei and An Yi seem to have a good relationship, and Lu Bicheng also hopes to be an official in Syria, so that the Zhou family has strong support, and it is not difficult to support the family again.
