Chapter 758: Winter in Peking (2)

An Yi leaned in front of the carved window lattice, staring at the gloomy sky for a long time, the afternoon was still a clear sky and a warm winter sun, at dusk suddenly the clouds surged, covering the sky and the sun, the whole Beiping City was soon shrouded in a gloomy and cold air current, the cold wind blew the tall locust trees in the yard swaying, and the last few dead leaves were reluctant to leave the bare branches, drifting around with the wind.

Two hours ago, An Yi, who had finished the eviction order, walked to the main hall without looking back, the sad Nalan Piaoxue and the guilt-ridden Wang Chengjun left gloomily at the invitation of the guards, and the familiar generals looked grim and businesslike, and did not give Wang Chengjun and Nalan Piaoxue a smile, which made Wang Chengjun feel more sad and more lonely.

Before asking to see An Yi, Wang Chengjun and Nalan Piaoxue quietly discussed, if An Yi asked Qianping, how should they answer? In the end, it was decided that no matter what, he must tell the truth to the affectionate An Yi, if An Yi didn't ask anyone, he wouldn't take the initiative to mention it, and if he asked, he would tell An Yi tactfully.

It's just that the two didn't expect that An Yi would have such a strong reaction anyway, originally Wang Chengjun thought that An Yi was also like those politicians and warlords of the Kuomintang, with the rise of his status step by step, he had already seen through many things, and it is estimated that he did not attach as much importance to friendship as he did back then, maybe he would sigh a few words and not ask again.

But now that I look back, I find that An Yi is still the same An Yi, the only An Yi in the world, not only asked, but also went to the grave to sacrifice in person, and finally was so sad and indignant that he suddenly issued an eviction order like cutting off his robe. Wang Chengjun was extremely glad that he knew An Yi, and had such a good friend who was kind-hearted and dared to be a good friend, but now, this friend seems to have been lost.

In fact, things are not as bad as Wang Chengjun thought, An Yi, who calmed down, did not blame him, An Yi deeply knew that with Wang Chengjun's current status and ability, he couldn't speak at all, and a man as powerful as Xu Jishen couldn't save his life in an extreme political environment, let alone Wang Chengjun? What's more, Tong Qianping? After thinking about it repeatedly, An Yi couldn't help but worry about the pure, beautiful, kind and weak Nalan Piaoxue, she was a Manchu, and now the establishment of the puppet Manchukuo outside the Guanxi may not be without hindrance to her, and when she was in Shanghai, she was also arrested by Dai Li's military commander, and was later released and sent back to the north under her own interference. Thinking of Nalan Piaoxue, An Yi shook his head, sighed faintly again, and those beautiful tearful eyes couldn't help but appear in front of him, recalling the first time he met Nalan Piaoxue, who was dressed in a pure and enthusiastic student attire, and the natural youthful atmosphere seemed to be blowing in his face.

Zhao Rui walked behind An Yi lightly: "Commander, the young marshal commands, there is no need to be polite if you have any requirements, although you can speak bluntly." The subordinate thanked the young marshal and replied that the commander had been working hard for days and drinking too much, and he felt a little unwell, and he was fine after a night's rest. ”

An Yi retracted his gaze staring at the sky, rubbed his sour eyes, and said in a low voice: "Brother Han Qing is also a polite and affectionate man, thanks to his great help and patience and persuasion, we have reached today's good cooperation situation, I will thank him again tomorrow morning...... Is there anything urgent? ”

"No, several routine reports in southern Sichuan have been handed over to Liu Qing for processing, but ...... The star officer of the Shuai Mansion came to report just now that Nalan Piaoxue had been wandering outside the mansion gate, and his subordinates had already asked the guard Holly to protect him secretly. Zhao Rui looked at An Yi with concern.

An Yi hesitated slightly, and commanded in a low voice: "Isn't Zhang Yang here?" When she was in Shanghai, it was Zhang Yang who sent her away, and they were very familiar with each other, so let Zhang Yang go out and pick her in, it is estimated that Nalan Piaoxue has something to say to me. ”

Zhao Rui left in response, and more than ten minutes later, together with Zhang Yang, led Nalan Piaoxue, who was dressed in lake blue piping, into the room, and the two looked at Nalan Piaoxue who lowered his head and his eyes were flushed, nodded to An Yi, and quietly retreated.

An Yi poured a cup of hot water and brought it to Nalan Piaoxue, seeing that she was still standing without looking up, he put the teacup on the table, moved a chair and beckoned, "Sit down!" The wind outside is so strong that the little face is frozen red, so drink a cup of hot water to warm up first. ”

Nalan Piaoxue moved half a step sideways, sat down slowly, stretched out his slender hand, picked up the cup and moved it to his mouth, I don't know what to think of, tears welled up in his eyes again, and two crystal tears slid across his delicate face and dripped into the cup.

An Yi was also a little uncomfortable in his heart, after thinking about it, he took out a handkerchief and handed it over silently, Nalan Piaoxue let go of a hand, took the handkerchief and wiped his tears, and it took a while to stabilize his mood, drank a big sip of water, gently put the cup back on the table, pinched An Yi's handkerchief, raised his head and forced out a smile: "I'm sorry for making you laugh...... Ahem......"

An Yi hurriedly snuffed out the cigarette he had just taken two puffs of, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I've been used to it for many years in the military, and I want to smoke as soon as I sit down." ”

"It's okay, you can smoke it."

There was another awkward silence, Nalan Piaoxue felt that An Yi didn't mean to speak, stroked the bangs that covered Meimu, and said in a low voice: "Teacher Wang is very sad, after being driven away by you, as soon as I left the house, I went straight to the tram stop, I couldn't catch up, the moment the car started, I saw him crying, such a strong man, I have never seen him shed a tear for so many years, it is sad......"

An Yi looked at Nalan Piaoxue noncommittally: "You lingered outside the gate for hours just to say these words to me?" ”

Nalan Piaoxue suddenly raised her head, saw An Yi's deep and honest eyes, and suddenly found that she couldn't be angry with him at all, shook her head slightly, and said in great pain:

"I know that you are cold-faced and hot-hearted, not only do I feel this way, but so does Qianping...... The night she returned to Beiping, her body was already very weak, and I stayed with her until dawn. After Qianping finished talking about the grievances she suffered, she quietly told me after wiping her tears that she often had the same dream, and the things she dreamed about were in the military prison in Nanchang, and there was almost your shadow in every dream...... Qianping later murmured to me, that day you suddenly appeared in prison, supported her, carefully brushed her hair, she was dazed and couldn't see you clearly, but the familiar breath from your body made her quiet all of a sudden, and her brain suddenly cleared up, she knew it was you and wanted to call you, but suddenly she couldn't make a sound, you quickly recognized her, hugged her and leaned on your shoulder and turned her head to call someone, I guess I didn't see her mouth desperately open. Qianping said that at that time, how much she wanted to throw herself into your arms and cry well, let you hold her tightly, and she would feel very safe...... Very happy......"

An Yi's nose was sour, he stood up and walked to the window, looked at the sky from afar, and only closed the window blown by the cold wind for a while, returned to Nalan Piaoxue, and smiled warmly after sitting down: "How are you?" I didn't have much trouble coming back from Shanghai, right? ”

Nalan Piaoxue smiled sadly: "Compared with Qianping, I am ten thousand times better, although I am still suspended from all my duties, waiting for the results of the organizational investigation, but no one embarrass me, I can still walk around, visit the bookstore, or go back to my alma mater to meet my former teachers and friends." ”

"That's right...... Do your parents know your real situation? An Yi asked.

Nalan Piaoxue shook her head: "I don't know, I thought I didn't go well in the south before I came back, but my mother yelled all day long to find my in-laws' house, which made me feel upset." ”

An Yi slowly stood up and paced gently, walked back and forth a few times and stood in front of Nalan Piaoxue: "I have a suggestion, in view of your current situation, if you still have ideals in your heart and are obsessed with pursuing the meaning of life, I suggest that you go abroad to study, otherwise you will find a good man to marry...... Don't look at me like that, I'm your good friend and I won't hurt you.

"Listen to me, since the Republic of China, one after another has encountered difficulties and even been defeated, all of them have gone abroad to eliminate disasters and avoid disasters, and when the rumors have subsided, they have moved over the country and returned to China again to regroup, just like Wang Zhaoming, president of the current central government, Tang Mengxiao, who has just returned to China and is ready to enter the Central Army, and Huang Jikuan, who has been in Nanyang but has now become the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As for you, many things have not yet been fully understood, especially the complex and brutal political struggle at the top that you do not fully understand, and I will open up to you today. ”

Nalan Piaoxue stared at An Yi in great surprise, her seductive Dan lips opened slightly, and her breathing suddenly became rapid.

An Yi sat down again: "Any political party, he has his own beliefs and reasons for existence, has his own followers, any political party, is also composed of an individual, any beautiful ideal, lofty goal, must rely on people to pursue, to achieve, and people, it is impossible not to make mistakes, and then by extension, any political party will make mistakes, just like the growth process of people, from babbling babies to innocent childhood, from carefree teenagers to ignorant youth, and then they can enter adulthood and middle age." Therefore, it is impossible to always have smooth sailing in the process of growing up, and it is impossible not to fall without falling and not missing a word, which is the so-called growth price.

"Although people can recognize their mistakes and correct them, it takes time, painful choices and even cruel costs. Nowadays, your situation is quite troublesome, and may even be dangerous, I believe you have also seen and experienced it from Qianping...... At this time, instead of blindly waiting and passively bearing, it is better to go out for a walk, change the environment, learn some new knowledge, new ideas, broaden your horizons, increase your life experience, and after a period of time, you can be prepared after careful consideration, and you can come back again, if you are still full of lofty ideals and firm beliefs, you will boldly pursue and devote yourself to it again. Nalan, what do you think of my opinion. ”

Nalan Piaoxue's delicate body trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hand to An Yi, and when she seemed to realize something halfway, her hand suddenly froze, her eyes were full of tears, but she didn't know what to say to express her gratitude and trust to the confidant man in front of her.

Seeing Nalan Piaoxue's pitiful appearance, An Yi couldn't help but stretch out his hand, gently holding her cold little hand and wanting to comfort a few words, Nalan Piaoxue suddenly threw herself into An Yi's arms, and cried bitterly, An Yi's body stiffened for a moment, and then slowly relaxed, raised his hand and gently patted Nalan Piaoxue's twitching back, sniffed the faint girl's body fragrance on the tip of his nose, raised his head to look up at the ceiling, and sighed softly.

Three days later, a car with a license plate of the Northeast Army Headquarters drove out of Beiping City, went straight to Tianjin, and drove into Tianjin Port at 9 o'clock in the morning.

The passenger ship "Yuehai" on the pier sounded its whistle for the second time, ready to put away the approach bridge and head south to Hong Kong.

After Nalan Piaoxue hugged and said goodbye to his parents who were teaching, An Yi took out a large envelope from his arms and handed it to Nalan Piaoxue, who was reluctant to give up tears:

"There are two letters in it, one is to Hong Kong, to Mr. Lu Kaiming, who came to pick you up, he is from Guizhou, a leader in studying in Europe and returning to Hong Kong to start a business, and he will help you get a passport to study in the United States within a week. The other letter will be handed over to Mr. Lin Xudong, who is a Chinese leader in California, who will take you to the person in charge of international student affairs, and when you choose a major, he will go through the admission procedures for you. If you want to contact me or need any help, just talk to them and they will send me a telegram. ”

"Hmmm......"

Nalan Piaoxue took the envelope and put it in her handbag, but silently wiped her tears and didn't dare to raise her head.

"Let's go, the boat is about to leave, and a boatload of people will be waiting for you."

An Yi comforted in a low voice, seeing that she was still hanging her head and crying and unwilling to leave, he grabbed her little hand, led her to the entrance of the approach bridge, nodded to the Chinese captain and first mate standing there respectfully, and briefly explained a few words in Cantonese. The captain immediately respectfully invited Nalan Piaoxue to board the ship, and the first mate took the big suitcase in Lin Yaodong's hand, and when he saw the shining general star on his shoulder, he couldn't help but happily ask when Brother Jiu was promoted to general? Lin Yaodong grinned, punched the first mate in the chest, and once again ordered to take care of Nalan Piaoxue along the way.

The passenger ship was gone, and the melodious whistle had become ethereal. Nalan Piaoxue's parents walked to An Yi's side and couldn't stop thanking him, and An Yi politely helped the two elders to get into the car. Nalan Piaoxue's mother grabbed An Yi's hand and asked uneasily: "General, can Nalan go to Hong Kong alone?" ”

An Yi explained with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, this 'Yuehai' passenger ship is from a good friend of mine, and the captain and first mate on the ship used to be my soldiers, and after retiring from the army, they will take care of Nalan, and they will be more relieved when they arrive in Hong Kong. ”

"Thank you so much, thank you so much! General, our family doesn't know how to thank you! Nalan Piaoxue's mother cried again.

After learning that Nalan Piaoxue was ** and was investigated, her parents were so frightened that they almost turned their backs, and her father, who taught in middle school, had foresight and experience, and immediately agreed with An Yi's suggestion relayed by Nalan Piaoxue, and the two couples did not force their baby daughter to go on a blind date, so they were busy visiting An Yi, and decisively made the decision to send their daughter to study abroad to avoid the limelight temporarily.

An Yi respectfully comforted Nalan Piaoxue's mother for a few words, and after sending the two elders to the car, he sat directly in the front passenger seat, turned around again, and talked with the two elders.
