"Li Xiaolong, haha! Rare guest...... Senior Brother Xu? My God......"

An Yi, who was excited, didn't have time to shake hands with Li Xiaolong, stepped forward to grab Xu Jishen, hugged his much thinner body tightly, and then pulled Xu Jishen to his side, and told Li Xiaolong to introduce Xu Jishen to the brothers immediately.

Xu Jishen, who was pale, shook hands with Gu Changfeng and Shen Fengdao, and finally came to Hu Jialin and bowed respectfully: "Hello Instructor Hu!" The students had taken five riding lessons from the instructor and were very impressed, and I was so happy to meet the instructor today! ”

Hu Jialin smiled heartily, held Xu Jishen's hand, and politely asked him to sit between himself and An Yi:

"It's rare that you still remember me, in the past two years, I have met many students in the first four phases of our Huangpu, and few remember me, sit down...... Sit! Li Xiaolong, don't be polite, how can you say that you also walked out of our model camp, and you don't need to be restrained when you return home. ”

Everyone laughed for a while, raised their wine glasses and touched them three times in a row, Xu Jishen, whose face was slightly red, said with emotion: "I didn't expect to meet a group of famous Northern Expedition generals here, my little brother is very honored!" ”

"Say what? I heard that after the senior brother returned to the team after being injured, Wang Zhaoming once retained the senior brother in the high position of major general and division commander, but the senior brother finally chose to continue to stay in General Ye Ting's revolutionary team as a regiment commander. ”

An Yi poured wine for Xu Jishen as he spoke, and saw Li Xiaolong, who was sitting opposite, stretching out his hands to take the wine bottle, shaking his head and walking to him to pour him wine:

"Xiaolong, sit down, today you are our guest, I should pour you wine...... By the way, Xiaolong, which mountain is making a fortune now? ”

The brothers laughed kindly, Li Xiaolong didn't care, and said respectfully: "I really let the old elder say that he is right, the younger brother is indeed the king of the mountain now, I can't imagine it, right?" ”

An Yi and the others looked at each other, and immediately thought that Li Xiaolong's base was very likely to be in the surrounding area of his defense area, Gu Changfeng was not polite, picked up the wine glass and toasted with Li Xiaolong, then put down the glass and asked with a smile: "Tell me, is it in the east or the west?" ”

Li Xiaolong hesitated: "In the west, even if the junior brother doesn't say it today, the chiefs will know tomorrow...... The younger brother is really forced to come today, and he really has a request for the old elders. ”

"Drink! Drink! I'll talk about it after I drink it. An Yi smiled and diverted the topic and turned to Xu Jishen: "Senior brother, you won't mess around with this guy Li Xiaolong, right?" ”

Xu Jishen shook his head and said solemnly: "Brother Yu just came from Hangzhou, at noon at the food stall on the street of the county government by chance to meet Brother Xiaolong, a few months ago Brother Yu drove into the border of Hubei and Henan with his department, and was wounded again in the battle with the direct army, from Wuhan to Shanghai on the way to see Brother Xiaolong, I heard that Brother Xiaolong had just left your reading teacher at that time, and he fell in love at first sight, so he was familiar with it. ”

An Yi immediately thought in his heart that it should be the time before crossing the river to the north to fight, knowing the reason, he didn't continue to ask, but warmly beckoned everyone to use something at will, seeing Li Xiaolong's unwilling food and heavy heart, he casually put down his chopsticks and asked: "Xiaolong, you still have that stinky temper, you can't hide things on your face, say, what can we help you?" You're welcome, brother. ”

Li Xiaolong smiled bitterly: "The junior brother has a relative who was detained by the Fourth Regiment of the New Ninth Army stationed in Shanggao County a few days ago, and the younger brother knows that the old chief has a good relationship with the New Ninth Army Commander Jin, so he can only ask the old chief to help rescue him."

Speaking of which, the elder brother's relative is also very familiar with him, when the model battalion went to Gao'an after resting in Fengxin, until before and after the Battle of Nanchang, Chief Gu also had a little business with him. ”

Gu Changfeng asked with some surprise, "Are you talking about Shopkeeper Zhao?" What the hell is going on? Why did the Shanggao Garrison detain him for no reason? ”

Li Xiaolong thought to himself, didn't he buy a gun from you and was accidentally intercepted on the way back? But looking at Gu Changfeng and Hu Jialin, they really didn't know what was going on, and An Yi couldn't see anything on his face, thinking that they really didn't know, so he told him:

"The younger brother, Uncle Zhao, hid a few guns in the cargo and was stopped when he passed the last checkpoint in the west of Shanggao City. The four regiments did not have the appearance of a revolutionary army, they were a group of bandits, every time they were extorted violently, the geese were plucked, the surrounding people and the past businessmen were miserable, after the younger brother's Uncle Zhao was detained, the regimental deputy surnamed Mo actually asked for 10,000 oceans before he begged to release people, and released the news that if he didn't see the money within seven days, he would be shot immediately, and the younger brother was penniless and poor, where to get 10,000 oceans? I really had no choice but to rush to Lao Nanchang at night to ask the old chief for help. If it weren't for the old brother Han who opened the tavern today, it would be really difficult for the little brother to see the old chief! ”

Gu Changfeng and Hu Jialin looked at An Yi, Xu Jishen also looked at An Yi with a smile, An Yi shook his head and said:

"This is not difficult to do, Xiaolong, please rest assured, I will definitely do my best, but I suggest you tell Uncle Zhao, so that the next time he comes to Nanchang, it is best to go to Brother Yang Bin's security regiment to get a certificate, if it is valuable goods, get a pass, the pass issued by the security regiment can still be used within General Zhu's jurisdiction."

"Thank you so much! Little brother, respect the elders and all the elders for a cup! ”

Li Xiaolong's heart fell to the ground, and he stood up happily and raised his wine glass high, thinking that as long as there was a special pass issued by the security group, where would the whole Jiangxi go? Who doesn't know that you have a good relationship between An Yi and Zhu Peide, and so many brothers are instructors in Zhu Peide's three armies, who doesn't sell your face?

Everyone was very happy to see that the matter was resolved, and sat down again after drinking, Xu Jishen was also very satisfied to see An Yi help so much, before he was very worried that An Yi's surname and beliefs had changed, but now it seems that An Yi does not have the situation he is worried about, and he is still as open-minded as before.

An Yi saw Xu Jishen covering his mouth and coughing gently, and hurriedly asked him if he was done with his injuries? Xu Jishen replied that he had recovered, but he had not fully recovered, and he couldn't stand it when he drank a few glasses of wine in a hurry.

An Yi hurriedly instructed everyone not to toast Xu Jishen, and to drink as much as he wanted, Gu Changfeng nodded a few times and then aimed at Li Xiaolong, and everyone toasted him before letting go.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Xu Jishen sighed: "Senior brother and younger brother, after leaving the army, he can also make a career, not only opened many factories, but also built hospitals, water and surface transportation companies and schools, the brothers and sisters admire!" Today in the first army recruitment office by the lake, I saw hundreds of students from all over the world sign up for the entrance examination of the two new colleges, and there are many aspiring young people who have signed up to become soldiers, and the recruitment office in the east of the lake is even more crowded, and the water is impassable, the foolish brother inquired at random, I heard that it has been like this almost every day for more than half a month, if the senior brother wants to pull up a team one day, I am afraid that he only needs to climb the heights and shout to follow the clouds! ”

An Yi smiled and shook his head: "Senior brother has won the prize!" The little brother is now very satisfied with being a copper-smelling businessman, and it seems that he is getting more and more addicted, and the affairs of the recruitment office have nothing to do with the little brother except for temporarily borrowing a corner as an enrollment office!

Hu Zi and Hutou don't like to do business, and they don't want to enter any security regiment, they go to General Zhu Peide's army to sweat and earn some pocket money, and the other brothers who follow the younger brother back who are willing to enter the factory have been arranged to enter the factory, and those who are willing to continue to be soldiers have entered the security regiment, anyway, most of the brothers have already settled their homes in Lao Nanchang, and mixing into the security regiment as a soldier is equivalent to defending their homeland, and they are all guarding the edge of their lair and will not go out to fight for anyone, and the younger brother is also much more worry-free! ”

Xu Jishen and Li Xiaolong looked at each other and smiled, not believing An Yi's nonsense at all, Li Xiaolong asked with interest:

"The younger brother saw that the original brothers were patrolling the street in black military uniforms, and even the high-top military shoes on their feet were black, but they were embarrassed to disturb them, but the younger brother liked the new military uniforms on them very much, the sleeves and trouser legs were all fastened with buttons, and the beautiful buttons made of fine copper were matched with a wide belt and black gun holsters that were also black, which looked capable and concise, and very energetic, and the new cylindrical black hat with a long tongue-shaped brim was very unique, but the little brother was a little unclear, What does the winged leopard in the middle of the yellow-trimmed name plate on the left breast of those brothers mean? And why is the rank insignia embroidered on the shield armband on the right arm? ”

"The flying leopard is the pattern chosen by the security regiment itself, and the shield armband is placed on the right arm to indicate the difference from the regular army, and now no one in China has stipulated the clothing and logo style of the security regiment, and the black clothing is the same as the police of the national political axe, according to the meaning of the security regiment commander Major General Yang Bin, his security regiment guards the place like the police, so he did not choose the color and style of the regular army's uniform." An Yi replied very briskly.

Li Xiaolong asked again: "How much does it cost to go up and down with such a set of clothes?" ”

An Yi smiled excitedly: "You are the right person, this dress is all produced by our Jiangnan Group's garment factory, the outer set together with the black thirty-two yarn round neck underwear and pants, socks, hats, add up to twelve oceans, the new military shoes under the feet are from the Nanyang Shoe Factory, the soles are much thicker than the ones we wore before, the wear-resistant surname and the bullet surname are better, the upper has also been improved, a pair of shoes is also twelve oceans, and our Jiangnan Group's shoe factory will be put into production early next year. It is estimated that it can be reduced to eight oceans, and the whole set adds up to twenty-four oceans, which is equivalent to a month's salary of a skilled worker in our factory today, which is not expensive. If Senior Brother and Xiaolong like it, the younger brother will give you two sets tomorrow. ”

"Ah, twenty-four oceans are not expensive? Only you can afford it! Li Xiaolong was greatly moved.

An Yi hurriedly explained: "It's worth the money!" The military uniforms we produce are ramie worsted yarn and high-quality cotton thread blended through the latest American textile machinery, which is very wear-resistant and durable, and the shoulders, elbows, knees and buttocks, which are often worn out, are two layers of thickened.

Don't underestimate our newly designed military uniform, in the past month, hundreds of Huangpu brothers in the army have written to ask for it, and I have sent a set to each of them.

At present, General Zhu Peide's three armies have signed purchase contracts with our garment factory, and the First Division of the First Army and the Ninth Army of Chief Gu also sent several quartermasters to inspect our garment factory last week, and they are very fond of this new type of clothing, and they plan to set us up for 10,000 sets as soon as the next equipment allocation arrives, and then increase the number of 10,000 sets and 10,000 sets, and the only requirement is that it needs to be the same color as the current gray military uniform. They not only bought military uniforms, but also ordered new sapper shovels, aluminum kettles, new canvas bullet belts, thickened canvas belts and other military products from our hardware factory. ”

Xu Jishen sighed: "It seems that the junior brother is unwilling to go out of the mountain to lead the troops anymore!" ”

An Yi smiled self-deprecatingly: "Senior brother, to tell you a word of conscience, the junior brother dreams of putting on the military uniform again, but who is going to fight when he puts on the military uniform?" If you fight Xiao Yuben and other invaders, the little brother is willing to start as an ordinary soldier and rush to the battlefield immediately without hesitation! If you fight warlords such as Sun Chuanfang, Zhang Zongchang and Zhang Zuolin, you can barely consider it; If you beat other people's younger brothers, you won't be willing to do it, it's better to live a comfortable life now, you can earn money every day, have a little wine to drink, and feel comfortable! ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, Gu Changfeng and Hu Jialin deeply agreed with An Yi's words, and said that when they were tired of fighting and killing, they would settle down and do business with An Yi.

Xu Jishen and Li Xiaolong understood a more important meaning from An Yi's words, so they could easily deduce An Yi's current political position.

Li Xiaolong felt quite down-to-earth and relieved in his heart, but Xu Jishen was full of worries and regrets, because he came here on the order of Committee Member Zhou this time, which was to do the ideological work of An Yi and point out a challenging but promising road to An Yi.

The brothers raised their glasses again lively, chatting while drinking, the atmosphere was cordial and easy-going, and the next topics almost all followed An Yi's intentions, everyone talked about the current situation in China, the future of the Northern Expedition, and industrial and commercial education, and even talked about An Yi's "Jiangnan Nightclub" in Nanchang City, which will open next week, that is, not to talk about politics and the war around Jiangxi, and chatted until more than 11 o'clock in the evening, when the guests were gone, and everyone went downstairs happily.

Li Xiaolong, who was so drowsed that he could barely walk, asked Gu Changfeng to take him to live in his small building, and An Yi led Xu Jishen to his home, and the two of them took a car back home and took a bath, no one was sleepy, An Yi instructed his chief guard to go back to rest, make a pot of fragrant tea by himself, and began to continue to drink tea and chat with his senior brother who made him extremely respected and grateful, until the guards came at dawn, and the two were still whispering.

No one knew what the two were talking about, and no one dared to ask what they were talking about. After breakfast, Gu Changfeng and adjutant Wang Xulun brought a large bag of gifts to Li Xiaolong, and sent Li Xiaolong to the dock to take a cargo ship bound for the dock of Gao'an County, telling him that although he could go back with confidence, Zhao's shopkeeper would soon be released.

An Yi led Xu Jishen to continue to visit hospitals, schools under construction, non-commissioned officer training bases, garment factories, and hardware factories, and at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Jishen, who was full of emotion, was sent to Changbei Wharf to return to Shanghai by boat, and entrusted Xu Jishen with letters of greeting and gifts to Chen Geng and other senior brothers.
