Late at night, the atmosphere in the master bedroom of the Xiao family's compound was warm, and Yi Zhenying, who was tired and satisfied, put on a silk robe after the bath, and looked at her husband who was wiping her hair stains with affection.

Xiao Yimin had already repeatedly thought about everything that had just happened and was about to happen, and finally felt that only by confessing truthfully could he be worthy of his wife.

Although Xiao Yimin is emotionally focused on self-discipline and famous, he has not moved a little selfish distraction to Liu Xiaomei, the first of the four beauties of Bashu, who is talented and gentle, I am afraid that even Xiao Yimin himself does not believe it, every time he sees Liu Xiaomei, who is dignified and beautiful, Xiao Yimin will be shaken, in his opinion, there is no sound man in this world, who can be indifferent in the face of Liu Xiaomei, not to mention that he Xiao is a man of blood and strength, and he can be called a hero who is famous and shocking to say narcissism. And heroes are often connected with beauties, how can they be called heroes without a strong physique, exuberant energy and strong possessiveness?

Faced with her husband's self-pitying confession, Yi Zhenying's face gradually turned pale, her red lips trembled slightly, her heart was pierced by a sharp knife, and when she heard half of it, tears had rolled down, and she cried sadly on the thin quilt weakly.

Xiao Yimin slowly held his wife in his arms, unable to say a word of comfort, and let his grief-stricken wife beat himself weakly.

Tears flowed across her face, soaking Yi Zhenying's pale lips, and bursts of bitter taste invaded her sad and messy heart.

At this moment, Yi Zhenying realized that she was far from being as generous and virtuous as she said, and she knew that it was so ridiculous and naïve to joke that "I have no opinion on as many women as you marry", she was like a selfish child who was robbed of the most precious toy, and felt that the whole world collapsed in an instant, and the bit of nobility, dignity and grace that she had cultivated over the years had all disappeared at this moment.

Xiao Yimin slowly lay down with his wife in his arms, letting his wife's tears wet his chest, and unconsciously a slightly yellowed past appeared in his mind, remembering the time when he ran away with a teapot, remembering his wife's delicate face yelling at him but revealing infinite family affection, and thinking of two bright and lovely children...... He slowly closed his eyes, and Liu Xiaomei's beautiful face resurfaced in his mind, as well as the gentle and clean eyes that were as clear as autumn water but could not hide the color of perseverance, the smooth skin like clotted cream, and the extremely curvaceous and graceful posture that made people infinitely reverie...... I don't know how long it took, the crying tired wife fell asleep in Xiao Yimin's arms, the delicate body with occasional convulsions clearly expressed the sadness and pain that could not be passed away, the arms wrapped around Xiao Yimin's waist and heart gradually relaxed, but the slender legs were still tightly clamped Xiao Yimin's legs, as if he was afraid that if he let go, his beloved would disappear.

The next morning, Xiao Yimin, who had sighed all night, opened his eyes and found that his wife in his arms was gone, he was startled, quickly got up and looked around, and finally tightened the belt of his nightgown, pushed the door out, and the nurse Sister Qing, who was wiping the blue and white ancient porcelain in the small living room, hurriedly said:

"Madame just went out, saying that the master was too tired, and told us and the children not to disturb and let the master sleep more."

"Sister Qing, did she say where she went?" Xiao Yimin asked anxiously.

Sister Qing couldn't help laughing, and bowed slightly sideways: "Madame said to go to the church to find Mama Mary, and then go to the hospital together, take the second wife back, and have dinner with my uncle, congratulations to the master!" ”

"Ahh......h She, she, why is she like this? Is that what she said? Xiao Yimin was already so excited that he was incoherent.

Sister Qing said with a smile: "That's what Mrs. said, when I helped my wife comb her hair, Mrs. said that the new Mama Mary and the second wife are good friends, and they are colleagues who work together in the hospital. Sir, my wife is really ...... to you."

Xiao Yimin had a headache when he heard this, waved his hand and returned to the bedroom, fell on the bed again, sighed for a long time, and simply closed his eyes and slept after thinking about it.

In less than half an hour, Xiao Nanzheng came to his father's side with his babbling sister Xiao Mu, and the excited two brothers and sisters chattered and climbed into bed, shouting that Dad would look at me, Xiao Yimin, whose eyes were black, suddenly let out a tiger roar, opened his eyes and sat up, and the two brothers and sisters screamed in fright, followed by bursts of happy laughter.

In the afternoon, two military vehicles took Liu's father and mother and the third aunt and six mothers-in-law who hurried to Chengdu from the dock back to the Xiao family compound, and the old man Zou, who had already heard the good news, made an appointment with Zhang Lan, Kuang Youmin and others to bring gifts and poured into the main hall, and in less than a day, the news that Commander-in-Chief Xiao was going to marry Liu Meiren as a wife spread all over Chengdu, and Liu Meiren's hometown Yucheng had already published the news in the newspaper.

Late at night, after settling down, the overjoyed Liu family threw their drunken uncle Liu Bingxian and Yang Shukan to the bed in the guest room of the middle courtyard, Xiao Yimin, who was sweating profusely, did not dare to go back to the bedroom at all, he was really difficult to face the pain and pretended to be happy Zhang Luo's beloved wife, so he had to use the excuse of dispersing the alcohol as an excuse to wander alone under the big tree in the front yard.

Chief of Staff Bao Jiqing knew Xiao Yimin's complex and contradictory mood best, so he had been sitting quietly in the small pavilion in the front yard, and when he saw Xiao Yimin arriving alone, Bao Jiqing quietly handed over a cigarette and an American windbreaker, and then made tea for Xiao Yimin unhurriedly.

The lighter made a crisp sound, the bright flames reflected Xiao Yimin's tired face and disordered hair, the fire was extinguished, the blazing cigarette butt suddenly shone, and a little red light slowly faded for more than ten seconds, followed by a sigh with the thick smoke.

Bao Jiqing put most of the cup of tea on the table in front of Xiao Yimin, did not mention the lively engagement banquet tonight, nor did he praise how amazing and graceful the future bride is, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was down to business:

"According to your instructions and Liu Zicheng's request, the General Staff Office and the Political Training Office have made a secret recruitment plan, and it is estimated that Liu Zicheng's 500 old subordinates can be gathered within a month. In addition, everyone thinks that it is okay to send people and equipment, but Liu Zicheng's unit cannot use our military uniforms and military insignia, I don't know what your opinion is? ”

"I don't have an opinion, you just have to look at it." Where is Xiao Yimin still in the mood to take care of these at this time.

Bao Jiqing didn't care either, and continued to report: "There is also the allocation of weapons and equipment, the brothers discussed and discussed, and finally unanimously decided not to issue light machine guns, only MG08 improved heavy machine guns, and agreed to equip them with 60 mortars, but each battalion is only allocated eight, which can be regarded as a propaganda for our mortars." ”

"Hmmm......"

Xiao Yimin snuffed out the cigarette butt, grabbed the teacup and drank it all, picked up the cigarette on the table and lit another one, and finished looking at the dark place outside the hall and smoking silently.

Bao Jiqing shook his head slightly: "You can't do this!" Isn't it just to marry a flat wife? How did you get like this? How many great things are waiting for you to decide, but you are like this, worthy of the 100,000 brothers who follow you with all their hearts? ”

Xiao Yimin felt a pain in his heart, took a deep breath, and turned around: "Okay, you say, I can't sleep anyway, I guess I can feel more comfortable doing something serious." ”

"That's right."

Bao Jiqing unceremoniously criticized Xiao Yimin for a few words, and then said quite worriedly: "As you were worried about before, the brothers don't understand that you are so hard to support the Kuomintang, and they all say that at present, except for Beiyang, our Sichuan Army is already the largest military force in the country, why don't you take advantage of the chaos in the world to fight for the world?" Even Kuang Youmin and Zeng Shouwu and others have recently become ambitious

"As for me, tell the brothers frankly your thoughts, and lay out all the factors such as the current situation of the Beiyang military strength and the Kuomintang forces, the comparison of the financial strength and war potential of the enemy and our army, the advantages and disadvantages of the geographical location of the southwest, and how to maintain foreign relations, etc., and tell everyone that our Sichuan army is far from being as strong as we feel, and everything needs to be planned slowly, otherwise if we are not careful, we may be besieged by the major forces.

"It's good to say, the brothers only understand, but it doesn't mean that the brothers don't have other ideas, Deng Xihou is an example, if you don't get him to Hanzhong, I don't know how much trouble he will have to toss."

Xiao Yimin raised his head: "You won't tell everyone the ultimate goal of our vigorous support for the revolutionary party, right?" ”

Bao Jiqing smiled: "How is it possible?" Only you know about this matter at present, but Ma Gang, this kid seems to have guessed something, since this kid went to Shanghai and came back, his horizons seem to have suddenly become broader, and his surname has become more stable and meticulous. In addition, the provincial government and the police department accepted our suggestion to set up an anti-narcotics and anti-smuggling bureau and launched a province-wide anti-narcotics and anti-smuggling operation.

Ma Gang, who was specifically in charge of this matter, showed amazing foresight, he analyzed a lot of things from it, and talked to me many times in private to express his views, asking why our attitude towards the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium suddenly changed? In addition, this time we were going to quietly place a group of people in Liu Zicheng's army, he guessed a lot of things, and at the end of the dinner, he also mentioned to me that Chiang Kai-shek!

"It seems that you have to find a time to sit down with Ma Gang and have a good talk, since you can't hide it, you should let him know, so that it won't be a taste in his heart."

Xiao Yimin breathed a sigh of relief: "I have wanted to talk to him for a long time, and I never thought of hiding it from him, if I can't even trust my brother in life and death, am I still human?" The reason why I didn't tell him was because the time had not yet come, and the recent troubles were one after another, the Beiyang side had the cheekiness to ask for light and heavy machine gun production technology, the supply supplement of the various departments of the Western Expedition and the plan to open the road in Xikang had to be implemented, and the long-winded things that asked for money and food were one after another, and it was finally over, but as soon as the military academy opened, the revolutionary party sent another batch of people, and my second brother got cheap and sold well, and it was not good to ask for people to ask for guns, and he caused me such a big trouble, alas...... Forget it, Brother Bao, you have to work harder, help me, let the little brother take a vacation! ”

"Hey! Furlough? Push everything to me and you're beautiful, I'm not here if I have that much ability, understand? You'd better hurry up to the wedding, hurry into the cave room, and it's only right to finish these messy things, and don't look at what time it is, what kind of vacation are you? Bao Jiqing asked with a smile.

Xiao Yimin knew that Bao Jiqing was teasing himself, but when he saw the fox face that seemed to be smiling and smiling proudly in the faint night light, he couldn't help but scratch loudly:

"Why can't Lao Tzu take a vacation? You have twenty days of vacation every year, but Lao Tzu has never enjoyed it, and he is so annoyed that he simply makes up for the maternity leave when the two children are born, and see what you can do with Lao Tzu! ”

Xiao Yimin turned around and left after venting, Bao Jiqing was so happy: "Dog, I want to make up for maternity leave, this reason is really fucking fresh......"
