"Xiao Yi:

"Alright? Last year in October, I was shocked to hear that you were seriously injured and comatose under the city of Wuchang, my sister was worried and couldn't sleep all night, and she had no choice but to be entangled in Guangzhou on official business and could not go to visit.

"For months, it has been rare to see you thousands of miles apart, but you are well aware of your situation and as a sister, and I am quite angry and comforted by your wise perseverance...... ...... At this critical period, you should be more cautious in your words and deeds, and think twice before you take the firm Northern Expedition as the core, and you can take advantage of the opportunity when the Party Department, the General Headquarters and all walks of life are worried about the contradictions between Ninghan and Han and look forward to the great cause of the Northern Expedition and urgently need heroic models to boost morale and people's hearts. Don't miss out!

“…… Xiao Yi, the so-called fame, as the name suggests, should first have a virtuous name, prestige or moral name to create prestige. Since the Northern Expedition, you have made outstanding achievements in governing the army, invincible in every big and small battle, although you are young and have shallow qualifications, but you have the conditions to become a model of the Northern Expeditionary Army. Ye Ting became famous all over the world after the battle of He Shengqiao, and was crowned the deputy marshal of the 11th Army at this moment, but you did everything possible to endure it, and handed over your outstanding achievements again and again to others or share them with others, and moved forward in a low-key manner under the willingness of others, so that the surname that is beneficial to others and not to yourself is enough, otherwise it will greatly damage your future, but no one has any feelings for you because of this, which is very worthless! In the long run, how can you stand out and realize your ambitions? From now on, you must not be so confused, especially your advanced concept of governing the army and a series of training and improvement, the effect produced is obvious to all, the veterans of the military circle have dispelled their concerns, praised you, regarded you as a model in the army, the best of the young generation, you should take this opportunity to contribute to your own development and growth, every accumulation of merit and fame, like a boulder to lay a solid foundation for your future, you must firmly grasp the opportunity not to miss the opportunity again! Be sure to!

"The undercurrent on both sides of Ninghan is surging, the dark clouds are thick, and there is a tendency for mountains and rains to come...... The situation is complicated, you should remain humble and tolerant as always, do not get involved in the dispute between the two parties, and let your sister handle all the remaining matters...... "The night is deep and cold. Thinking of her younger brother, my sister lifted the pen coldly, but her heart was like a warm sun...... There are a lot of secrets involved in the letter, which will be destroyed immediately after reading, just in case! Sincerely.

…… An Yi looked up to the sky and sighed for a long time, waiting for the cold wind to dry the tears of gratitude in his eyes, then lowered his head and slowly took out a cigarette and match, squatted down to mark a match and lit a letterhead, and when the envelope was about to burn out, he slowly lifted the cigarette and lit it, and opened his hand easily, and a cold wind immediately swept up the fragments with the last wisp of flames.

"You guy, why did you burn the letter? Affectionate, you! Haven't seen ......."

Ye Qing didn't know when he came behind An Yi, and when he saw An Yi turn around, his eyes were slightly red, and he could only swallow the second half of the sentence that was about to be scolded.

An Yi smiled apologetically: "Fighting on the front line all day long, it's inconvenient to carry it with you, I have already recorded every word of my sister here." ”

Ye Qing saw An Yi pointing at his heart, and was slightly stunned and then smiled:

"Don't worry about you, go! The hot and fragrant mutton hot pot has already been served, and everyone is waiting for you. However, you are not allowed to get drunk tonight, I will conduct an exclusive interview with you after eating and resting for a while, and He Jing will also conduct continuous interviews with officers and soldiers at all levels of your department, and if you can't complete the task, you won't want to sleep!

Tomorrow will definitely be a sunny day, you have to fully cooperate with our interviews and photos, pull out your model camp, it is best to pile up all the seizures, we have to make a continuous report on the front page position of seven issues, if the content is too small, I can't pay the difference there, you must not be as naughty as the interview in Whampoa, otherwise I will clean you up! ”

An Yi smiled slightly, entered the backyard restaurant side by side with Ye Qing, apologized to everyone and sat beside Cai Zhongwat with a big grin, took three glasses of punishment wine and dried it up one after another, and immediately won the applause of the house.

An Yi shouted and poured wine, and successively toasted a glass to Cai Zhonghu, Cai Peiyuan, Ye Qing, Lao Zhuang and the young reporter He Jing, and then sat down with a smile and drank the soup, a wine banquet that received the wind and celebrated the completion of the expansion from the sun to ten o'clock in the evening, Cai Zhongwat and Cai Peiyuan, the photographer Lao Zhuang and a few people who had been drunk like drinking water by Hu Zi, Gu Laoer, Xia Jian, and a few cattle people who drank like water were drunk to bed, and only He Jing, who was polite and polite, was still sober, It seems that Ye Cheng and Qu Muchen, who are also elegant next to them, fell in love with each other at first sight, and they cherished each other and hated each other, and made an appointment together to go into the second camp for a long talk all night.

After the banquet was withdrawn, An Yi urgently discussed with the brothers and assigned tasks, using 12 captured Shanghai-made mortars, 680 shells and 20 war horses, 1,500 Yuanzhuang and Hanyang-made ammunition exchanged from Li Yannian's 5th Regiment, plus 2,000 long and short guns saved after the dismissal of more than 1,700 prisoners. Thirteen 7.62 mm caliber American light machine guns and ammunition were packed and loaded by Xia Jian and Gu Lao's second unit; more than 3,000 sets of new and old Zhejiang army uniforms and 2,000 sets of military quilts were packed by the brothers of the logistics unit led by Shi Lejun, and they could be sold to other armies or exchanged for materials after a little processing or dyeing; and all building materials were loaded by the headquarters led by Chang Chang, the commander of the quartermaster unit, and Chen Zhibiao, the commander of the third battalion; Before 9 a.m. tomorrow, all the guns and shells recovered by the battalions must be loaded into baskets and sent to the parking lot in the west of the city for loading.

Ye Cheng and Qu Muchen stayed in the end because of the interview mission, and after negotiating with An Yi on relevant interview matters, they also left happily, went to the guest room west of the front yard to call out the reporter He Jing, and went to the second camp camp in the south of the city together.

After everything was arranged, An Yi returned to the bedroom behind the hall and took out a change of clothes and pants, and went to the cooking class in the backyard to take a comfortable hot bath.

Shen Fengdao coughed outside the door, brought in a small ceramic brazier, placed it in front of the only bench, and quietly left. As long as it's okay, the winter maid and the herald Xiao Du, who come to greet An Yi every night, brought a beautiful coffee table, a large thermos, teapots, teacups and other things, put them down carefully, and then consciously retreated.

"The hall outside is dusty, and it's all soju, and the smell is terrible, so I'll let your orderlies lead me in, you won't care...... Hehe, I didn't expect you, a big man, to be so clean and tidy in the bedroom on the front line. ”

Ye Qing sat down on the sofa calmly, blushing, quickly opened the interview book, took out a pen to prepare for the interview, raised his head and saw An Yi's handsome appearance of shaving under the bright light, and suddenly couldn't take his eyes off, feeling his heart pounding uncontrollably. The faint smell of soap and An Yi's unique masculinity filled the air, which instantly entered Ye Qing's beautiful nose and invaded her lungs.

An Yi didn't pay attention to the change in Ye Qing's expression at all, bent down and gently moved the small brazier to her feet, turned around and brought a square ammunition box as a stool, sat on the table next to Ye Qing, raised his head and smiled and lit a cigarette: "Don't mind if I smoke, sometimes it's very boring on the front line, especially when doing action plans and enemy situation tests, you can't survive without smoking, and over time you will become addicted." ”

"No, no! I don't mind at all, we ...... Started the line? Ye Qing raised his white hand slightly flustered to play with the bangs in front of his forehead, touched his hot face with his hand and quickly put it down, and picked up the pen to prepare for the record.

An Yi nodded: "Please." ”

Ye Qing asked questions one by one according to the interview outline prepared in advance, An Yi knew everything, and answered really decently, the words were simple and plain, but they showed the cruelty and hardships of the battles again and again vividly, and integrated the military prestige, belief and the blood surnames of the soldiers into one battle case after another.

Ye Qing exclaimed, and the smooth forehead and small straight nose overflowed with a thin bead of sweat.

Three and a half hours later, the excited Ye Qing put down his pen, lifted his crescent-shaped eyes from the thick twenty or so interview records, took the teacup handed by An Yi and held it tightly in his hand, staring at An Yi with admiration, unable to come out of the heroic officers and soldiers who could sing and cry and the hard-won victories for a long time.

"Be careful, don't spill it." An Yi smiled and pointed to the teacup in Ye Qing's hand.

Ye Qing stabilized the cup, drank two sips of warm fragrant tea and put it down gently, smiled at An Yi and whispered:

"You've changed so much, and all the way here, I've always wondered, what will you become now that you've experienced a hundred battles and led thousands of soldiers? After so many battles, being seriously wounded twice, and leading your model battalion and reading group many times to turn the tide in adversity, will it break its face? What if your face is cut by shrapnel? Is it so handsome and elegant when it was in Whampoa? Hehe! It seems that I have been thinking too much, you are more handsome and manly than before. ”

An Yi scratched his head embarrassedly: "Where is there anyone who has been through a hundred battles?" I remember very clearly, there were only 21 battles, large and small, and since I became the regiment commander and led the troops to fight in Zhejiang, I have hardly been on the front line, and I am far worse than the platoon commanders of those veteran companies under my command. ”

"I can't say that, commanding and leading troops can show your military level and command talent even more, especially after entering Zhejiang, these three thrilling battles are too exciting! I have interviewed so many generals and middle and low-level officers, I have never heard such a plain and exciting battle process, these manuscripts almost do not need to be revised, they can become the best war documentary reports, the growth of ordinary soldiers, the transformation and heroic performance of each attached officer, are refreshing and admirable, thank you Xiaoyi! You've got me through one of the best interviews I've ever had in my career, and I want to celebrate with a drink! Ye Qing's expression was excited, and his crystal gaze kept condensing on An Yi's face.

An Yi smiled: "It's more than two o'clock in the morning, you are tired enough after two days in the car, my little brother will send you back to rest, you have to leave at noon tomorrow, the interview task in the morning is very heavy, and it will not be beautiful if you become a panda eye." ”

"What panda eyes? Sling the bull...... No matter what, I have to continue the interview tonight, otherwise it will be too late tomorrow. This is only half done, and the remaining half is about you, your life, ideals, your insights and gains from every section of the road you have traveled since joining the army, how did you bring your soldiers so well? What is the essence of the spirit of the Model Camp? How can your officer collective be so creative and innovative? Why is your teaching team different from any other unit? These are all things I have to figure out tonight, so no matter how tired you are, Xiao Yi, you have to help my sister with this. ”

Ye Qing smiled quite naughtily after speaking, then closed his mouth and lowered his head to sort out the manuscript, and naturally pursed his red lips, looking very focused.

An Yi's heart fluttered when he saw it, he stood up a little flustered, and stretched out in disguise: "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to make something to eat, I'm hungry too, I haven't eaten all my wine tonight, I can't stand the interview anymore, I guess you're hungry too, right?" ”

An Yi walked out of the door in a bit of a panic, Ye Qing raised his head and couldn't help but hold his face, and stroked his chest that was still beating hard, and suddenly smiled and shook his head embarrassedly.

More than ten minutes passed, Shen Fengdao followed An Yi to bring a plate of hot steamed buns, a bowl of egg drop soup and a few side dishes, replaced it with a freshly filled horse lantern and left without saying a word.

Ye Qing stood up and asked An Yi to add a few pieces of charcoal, walked to the two shell boxes stacked together, lifted a bottle of wine, took it to the light and looked at it happily and asked: "You guy has good things to hide secretly, I didn't expect you to have such a good Bordeaux wine here, there is no such high-end French wine in the general taverns in Nanchang City...... Open it, I'm going to taste it. ”

An Yi took the wine bottle and walked to the table next to the bed to find a tool to open it: "This was captured from the brigade headquarters of the Situ Wei Brigade of the Zhejiang Army, Situ Wei's family is one of the most rich and noble families in Shaoxing City, so this kid is very particular about pomp and circumstance." After the seizure, no one of the brethren wanted to drink this thing, saying that the sour wine was not much better than the overnight lees, and I heard that I liked it all and sent it to me, and there were twenty-five bottles in the box, and you should bring it back tomorrow and divide half of it to my sister, and you will dispose of the rest. ”

Ye Qing smiled like a flower, walked to An Yi's side and looked at him happily: "Really sent me?" Don't go back! ”

"This little gift is still willing to be given to the younger brother, tomorrow I will ask the Quartermaster Unit to give you a small Belgian pistol, the women's one is still very new, and it was captured from the Zhejiang army. I wonder, why do the generals of the Zhejiang army like to wear women's pistols so much? Later, I asked Yang Bin and Lao Ye to know that the generals of the Zhejiang army are generally wealthy, and many of them have read the Four Books and Five Classics, poems and songs since childhood, and have a high level of literacy, and like to go to the Qinglou or major social places to chant poems against each other, so these generals have a lot of confidants, so they all get some small pistols and store them around, in case they meet a woman they like in their hearts and give them as gifts. An Yi walked to the table and put down the wine bottle, went out and brought two small porcelain cups and put them on the table, and carefully poured the wine after sitting down.

Ye Qing laughed interestingly: "It's not what you kid said, I'm from Zhejiang and don't understand?" Hehe, what you said is as if it was true, in fact, the main reason is that the generals of the Zhejiang Army are generally wealthy, and many people have a hobby of collecting all kinds of famous guns, understand? ”

"It turns out that Lao Yang and Lao Ye partnered to trick me into playing, haha! Sit down......"

An Yi set the dishes and chopsticks for Ye Qing, Ye Qing sat down with great interest, raised the cup and touched An Yi gently, said thank you, took a sip, sighed, and then chatted with An Yi.

The two chatted while eating, the atmosphere was warm and warm, and before they knew it, they drank one bottle and added another, Ye Qing's reason was that it was difficult to distinguish between the twenty-five bottles and Sister Qian.

The next morning, when the sky was bright, An Yi opened his tired eyes, and suddenly felt that Ye Qing's gentle and fragrant delicate body was shrinking into his arms and falling asleep sweetly, his left hand wrapped around Ye Qing's waist, and his right hand actually covered her full chest.

An Yi was taken aback like a deer, raised his hand to stroke his body, and found that his clothes and pants were intact and the armed belt was still tied around his waist, but he didn't know when he fell asleep on the sofa with Ye Qing in his arms, so he sighed deeply, he couldn't tell if it was a slam or a loss, he thought about it and gently picked up Ye Qinglinglong's body and slowly put it on the bed, pulled the quilt and quietly covered her, retreated to the door, picked up the horse lamp in the aisle and turned it on, entered the house and put it on the low table, and suddenly saw a neat stack of manuscripts.

An Yi moved to the front and read carefully, and found that Ye Qing had unconsciously asked himself so many questions, and all the words he said were in his heart, so he hurriedly read it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more he admired himself, and he thought that under normal circumstances, why did he not have such concise words and logical expressions of thought, it seemed that he had drunk too much.

After reading it twice, An Yi took out the three manuscripts involving special training and "pyramid scheme brainwashing" and burned them, and sorted them out again and placed them neatly. When he stood up, he heard Ye Qing snorting, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly looked over, but fortunately, Ye Qing, who was on the bed, just turned around and fell asleep again.

An Yi quietly exhaled a long breath, and walked out of the bedroom quickly with a heart like a drum and a cat scratching.

Walking to the hall, he found Shen Fengdao sitting cross-legged on the wide recliner alone, the brazier in front of him was burning brightly, An Yi thought about it, took a step and walked to sit opposite Shen Fengdao, took out a crumpled cigarette case, took out one, put it on the charcoal fire and lit it and took a deep breath:

"Old Shen, in fact, you don't need to be a guard for me, your warrant officer rank will be approved soon, and when you send off the guests, you will go to the guard company as an instructor."

Shen Fengdao slowly opened his eyes and looked at An Yi with admiration: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just staying by your side, maybe you don't feel anything now, I'm afraid you will have more opponents in a few more big battles, this world is very chaotic, there are all kinds of people." If you can trust me, don't mention this matter in the future, it doesn't matter to me whether I am promoted or not, but it is better to have a lieutenant status, and I will not be able to enter many places in the future. ”

An Yi smiled gratefully: "You've been here all along?" ”

Shen Fengdao nodded: "It's enough for me to sit quietly for three or four hours a day." ”

"I'm not doing anything stupid, am I?"

"No, you've just stopped talking for half an hour. I admire you, in the face of such a beautiful woman and fighting for so long, you can hold on to it without being confused, amazing! This heart surname is enough to cultivate. ”

"Hold a kiba! Lao Tzu really wants to be confused, but Lao Tzu has too many concerns! Granny's ...... Chu'er, when did you see you......"

"You're right, cultivators just have to keep a kiba!"

An Yi was dumbfounded!
