In the room on the ground floor of this basement-like small building, it was He Yuan and щwwlā who were gossiping, and someone outside came to deliver food and water, a little surprised, Pei Yi smiled: "It's not time to eat, and suddenly come to deliver food, this won't be a severed head meal, right?" ”

He Yuan took the tortilla, "Probably not, the severed rice, I heard that we have to send something delicious, so we won't use this tortilla to see us off, right?" He tossed the tortilla, and this cake was no different from the usual food sent to the prison, and even the workmanship, shape, and amount were the same, but He Yuan was a careful man, and he found that there was a thin slit on one of the cakes, and the cornmeal was rough in texture, and there were cracks in the cake, which was also common, but this seam was long and neat, as if it was broken by hand, and he gently broke it along the seam, and the cake opened in his hand, revealing a note inside.

"Sure enough, there is a stock," He Yuan's heart beat faster, he looked out the window first, the window sealed with a wooden board was not unusual, and the lake outside was faintly visible in the crack in the window, he turned his back to the window and gently pulled out the note.

Pei Yi also came over, the note was only an inch wide, and there was a line written on it: Eat tomorrow morning, poisonous, hot and sweaty, pretend to be unconscious. Stone locks.

He Yuan felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, the brothers who were far away in Changsha, finally found themselves in this mysterious cherry blossom forest, since they were arrested, they have never been able to get in touch with them, interrogated, detained, turned away, under the enemy's torture instruments, in the cell, although they are happy with hardship, but the yearning for the fiery life of the past, the thoughts of those who are like brothers and sisters, all the time in my heart, now, seeing this narrow note, although there is only one line of words, but every word seems to be flashing.

"Lao Pei, they came to save us." He Yuan said softly.

"Really?" Pei Yi took the note excitedly, and the two of them looked at it greedily over and over again, and every word made people feel so warm.

Senator Lu has been very busy these days, in this beautiful cherry blossom forest, for many days in a row, convened the Anhui officers, discussed the formulation of military and political plans, quite brain-consuming, especially what gave him a headache is that many generals are short-sighted, have no ambitions, just want to occupy a piece of territory, be a soil emperor, and loot the people's wealth to fill their own pockets, then they are satisfied, and when the meeting is held, one by one cowering, accusing each other, arguing for several days, but no consensus has been formed.

In the morning, Senator Lu got up early, put on his coat, went for a walk in the cherry blossom forest, and met Mr. Yu.

"Senator Lu is early." Mr. Yu leaned on crutches and nodded in acknowledgment.

Senator Lu nodded, "Brother Yu, what do you think of the discussions in the past few days?" ”

"Alas," Mr. Yu sighed, "Opinion, of course there are some, to be honest, I'm a little dazed, right now, our strength seems to be very strong, but it always makes people feel like a hero is in the twilight, no matter what plan is made, whether it can really make a comeback, alas, I hope it." ”

In the east, the sun showed its head, and a ray of morning glow shot into the cherry blossom forest, illuminating the branches and flowers in the forest, all of which seemed to be covered with a layer of gold, and the air in early spring was a little humid and slightly cool. Senator Lu did a few morning exercises as when he was a soldier, and said energetically: "Brother Yu, whether a person's body is healthy or not depends on whether he can be diligent, and the army is the same. ”

Mr. Yu nodded, leaned on crutches, and sighed again.

Senator Lu continued: "Take Xunchen as an example (Zhang Jingyaozi Xunchen), he is an overseer in Hunan, and he is full of ambition, but he can't see it at all, the danger is actually in front of him, Wu Peifu is stationed in Hengyang, eyeing the tiger, mentioning this Wu Peifu, in fact, it is really enough for us to break out in a cold sweat, he is good at using soldiers, and has great ambitions, this person, it is said that he gets up early every day to practice swords, reads history books at night, and is very diligent, such a person, how can he not be a great weapon? Look at our generals, how many of them can be like Wu Ziyu? ”

"At the moment, looking at the situation, Wu Peifu has no intention of attacking Zhang Jingyao." Mr. Yu said.

"The heart of guarding against people is indispensable," Senator Lu stood under a tall cherry tree, slowly made a few Tai Chi movements, and said: "At present, the situation in the whole country is only temporarily stable, just like the calm before the storm, the melee situation can break out at any time, and the direct Cao Kun, Wu Peifu and others are definitely not sleeping, they are always thinking about it, and they are trying to subvert us." Take He Yuan and Pei Yi who we caught, for example, they used their legal status to blend into all strata, agitate the people, and fight against the government, Brother Yu, think about it, if there is no hard backstage support, can they have such a good time? I have long suspected that the people in Hunan are so troubled, and there are direct forces behind the manipulation, so I ordered them to take the arrested person surnamed He to Wuchang, and I personally interrogated him. Sure enough, as I expected. ”

"Didn't those two prisoners confess?"

"Hmph, obedient to the voice, although they didn't recruit it, but I have figured out the general situation, especially the one surnamed He, he is the spy of the direct faction in Changsha, there is no doubt about it. In the next step, I have to seize the time to interrogate them a few more times, and try to squeeze out more of their conspiracy. ”

As they were talking, a few officers in the cherry blossom forest trotted past the path next to them, looking a little flustered, Mr. Yu stopped them, "What's wrong?" ”

The person at the head was none other than Chen Dade, and when he saw Senator Lu and Mr. Yu here, he straightened up and reported: "Report to the chief, when our regiment commander got up in the morning, he suddenly had a fever and a rash on his body, and he was sick, so I will go and see it." ”

Chen Crooked Neck is sick, but it's not worth making a fuss, Senator Lu and Mr. Yu didn't take it to heart. Chen Dade walked for a while, and a few soldiers hurriedly walked by, saying in their mouths, "It's not good, it's not good, why are you sick for so long?" ”

Mr. Yu attracted attention and stopped the soldiers to ask, it is said that several officers, including Shang Huaiqing, suddenly had a headache and brain fever, and red spots appeared on their bodies, they were still fine yesterday, who knew that when they woke up, they all became ill.

It's normal to get sick, but when many people get sick together, there is a problem. Senator Lu and Mr. Yu finished their morning exercise and rushed to Shang Huaiqing's residence, where they saw that many people had gathered in front of the room, everyone was talking, and some people said: "Poisoning, it must be poisoning." Someone said, "We were drinking together last night, why didn't I get poisoned?" I just woke up today, and I haven't eaten breakfast yet, where did I get poisoned? (To be continued.) )
