August 5th, Tanabata. On a midsummer night, the fireflies in the four fields are lit, and the stars in the sky are blinking, and the unknown insects are tirelessly accompanying them, knowing that they are the lead singers, one after another and never stopping. In the middle of the stars was a half-curved moon, just climbing the treetops, and she stared as if there was really a cowherd and a weaver girl crossing the magpie bridge to prepare for a tryst.

"Today is Tanabata," Gu Lianyun said.

"The day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met?" Ouyang Yun looked at the sky, didn't tell where the Milky Way was, and remembered the true distance of the Milky Way, if there were really two people, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, if they really wanted to meet across the Milky Way, they were destined to travel through time and space. Thinking of reality, he did meet Gu Lianyun after traveling through time and space, and achieved a relationship, he thought: This is the so-called love through time and space, right? He looked at the people around him, his obviously thin face, some thin shoulders, and his right hand unconsciously stretched out, trying to wrap around her shoulder. However, the hand was raised, and he lowered it again. After all this experience, can they still be the same as before?!

The woman noticed this detail, she was slightly startled, and then bravely leaned her head on his shoulder. His right hand fell, right on her shoulder.

"Mr. Jiang, they're coming back soon, right?"

"If all goes well, it's time to be on the road."

"Did they write a letter or send a telegram back, are the tassels okay?"

"The freighter berthed at Dagukou brought back two letters, and the tassels are quite good."

Considering that the telegraph would inevitably be intercepted and normal postal communications would be spied on, Jiang Shuren and the others only brought back two letters from the freighter from San Francisco to Tianjin.

The first letter was mainly to inquire about Ouyang Yun's situation, and the second letter gave a detailed introduction to the situation in the United States, and suggested setting up a liaison office in the United States to keep in touch with overseas Chinese and Chinese who are concerned about China, and to contact the American side on the sale of products and the introduction of advanced production equipment. After Song Zheyuan read it, he directly forwarded the two letters to Ouyang Yun.

"Lianyun, how about going to the United States? We're going to set up a liaison office there, and you're fluent in English and you're the best person to be in charge. ”

Gu Lianyun actually didn't want to leave Ouyang Yun, but she also knew that staying would only cause him trouble, because Lixing Club would definitely not let her go. She said, "Then we won't have a chance to see each other again, I, what if I miss you?" ”

"How can there be no chance, when we get rid of the little devils, and when the whole country is completely unified, you can come back at that time."

Gu Lianyun hugged him and muttered, "Ouyang, then will you wait for me?" ”

The woman was so close to his body, and the protrusion of his chest pressed against his waist, which warmed up a fire in his heart. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and his right hand naturally fell on the woman's proud place.

The woman's body immediately became soft as a marshmallow, and she whispered, "No, they're all here." ”

They refer to Liu Dakai and them, they and Ouyang Yun are basically inseparable.

Ouyang Yun looked around, saw that Liu Dakai and the others had all hid in the shadows, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, everyone is an adult, and they won't be uninteresting." After saying that, he lowered his head, grabbed the two soft petals on her face with his mouth, and then directly knocked her teeth.

"Hmm......" The woman wanted to refuse and welcome, but Ouyang Yun's enthusiasm was completely mobilized, and she used her hands and mouth......

What Ouyang Yun didn't know was that when he and Gu Lianyun were lingering and making love, on the other side of the world, at the San Francisco dock in the United States, Jiang Shuren, Bai Tassel and his entourage were saying goodbye to the representatives of the US government, overseas Chinese and representatives of Harvard University President Conant, and Jonathan, the representative of RAC TV. After that, they will embark on the "Poseidon" freighter together with some overseas Chinese and American businessmen who are going to invest in North China, and officially begin their journey back to their hometowns.

The gains of the delegation's trip to the United States were enormous -- Hou Debang used the materials left by Ouyang Yun to turn into a great scientist who also specializes in medicine, chemistry, mechanics, physics, electronics, and other disciplines. On this basis, various prestigious universities in the United States have sent him invitations to give lectures at their own university. At the same time, some large companies in the pharmaceutical, mechanical and electronic industries have approached the delegation and hope to cooperate with them. The delegation became so popular in the United States that even President Roosevelt sent them an invitation to visit the White House.

When the delegation first arrived in the United States, they received the help of many overseas Chinese, and when the names of Hou Debang and the delegation appeared in major newspapers repeatedly, they all felt unparalleled pride as Chinese. This sense of pride ignited everyone's patriotic enthusiasm, and after learning about the current situation in North China through Jiang Shuren and others, they proposed to cooperate with the 29th Army to set up enterprises in North China and contribute to the strength of the motherland. Jiang Shuren was in a timely manner, according to what he had discussed with Ouyang Yun before leaving, and after synthesizing the opinions of other people in the delegation, he signed a cooperation agreement with Ford Motor Company, RAV TV and many Chinese entrepreneurs, and at the same time took this opportunity to vigorously promote the function of penicillin, which is equivalent to doing enough advertising for penicillin for free.

The United States' admiration for the inspection delegation, especially Hou Debang, also helped Jiang Shuren a lot, making the negotiations related to the purchase of equipment particularly smooth. In particular, when it became known that they lacked equipment and experts in the field of oil, President Roosevelt also sent three experts in an official name, along with a set of drilling and refining equipment.

There are pros and cons to everything, perhaps because the delegation is in the limelight on this trip, and they do not represent the central government, after this news reached the ears of Lao Jiang and others, it directly led to their decision to take action against Ouyang Yun and the apprentice soldier - this is the real motivation of Chen Bui Renqiu and his party.

"It's finally time to go home!" Standing on the bow deck, the white tassel hid behind the crowd, looking at the bustling crowd on the dock, and whispered.

Fan Xudong stood behind him and said, "I hope the return journey will be as smooth as when I came." ”

"I hope so, I don't know what happened to Brother Ouyang?" Thinking like this, Bai Tassel glanced at Shang Lian'er in front of him, and then grinned.

At first, this little girl was looking for Ouyang Yun, but after arriving in the United States, because she was busy participating in various activities and socializing, she had already forgotten Ouyang Yun in an unknown corner.

Will the return of the delegation go smoothly? The answer is no. Jiang Shuren they couldn't have imagined it anyway, they just started to set off here, and there were already a large number of members of the Lixing Society waiting there in Hong Kong - after Chen Bui lost his hand in Renqiu, some backbones of the Lixing Society, especially Dai Li, were unwilling to fail, and proposed a curve to disintegrate the 29th Army military group (after the failure of the Renqiu Incident, the 29th Army and the Cadet Division greatly increased their status in the eyes of some dignitaries in the central government, and they were transformed into a military group by a small force of separatism). He believed that as long as the members of the delegation, especially Jiang Shuren and Hou Debang, were recruited, then all the fruits of their trip would be enjoyed by the central government. At that time, not only did it strengthen the central government, but it was bound to deal a serious blow to the 29th Army.

If it weren't for Ouyang Yun's anxiety about Gu Lianyun's safety and his eagerness to send her to the United States, Dai Li's poisonous plan would definitely be achieved.

The so-called people are not as good as heaven, after Gu Lianyun arrived in Hong Kong with the carefully selected members of the six-person fox pupil group, he accidentally found his two classmates in Jianqiao Aviation School in Victoria Harbor. These two people are similar to her previous status, and they are both subordinate to the chairman's chamber and the Lixing Society at the same time, and they enjoy a lot of power. She sensitively felt that there must be some major intention for these two people to appear here at the same time, so she suspended the travel plan, verified it through the fox pupil's agent in Hong Kong, and took out a little information from the mouth of a peripheral person, and she learned about the other party's plan after analysis, and couldn't help but be shocked. While holding his arm, he sent a request for help to the personnel stationed in Liangguang through special channels, asking them to come over together to deal with this difficult case.

Fortunately, at this time, the "Poseidon" sailed to Guam, and there was still a period of time to Hong Kong, so Gu Lianyun was able to have time to mobilize manpower and began a-for-tat arrangement with Lixingshe.

When Dai Li proposed this plan to Lao Jiang, he used the word to find an opportunity to win over and buy Jiang Shuren and others, but in fact he was going to use extreme methods, that is, to use violence to kidnap all the members of the delegation first, and then slowly plot it.

Considering the large number of people in the delegation, it was obviously not enough to rely on the strength of the Lixing Society, so Dai Li contacted Du Yuesheng, the leader of the Green Gang, and got a lot of manpower from him. Then he began to arrange in detail, ready to catch them all after the expedition went ashore.

Compared with the Lixing Club, although Gu Lianyun transferred all the fox pupil personnel from Liangguang, he could not compete with them in terms of numbers. Considering that it would definitely be too late to be transferred from Renqiu, Gu Lianyun decided to take risks and strive to make a big deal to attract the attention of the Hong Kong government and make it strengthen public security patrols, which indirectly amounted to giving the inspection team more security.

After making up her mind, she decided to launch an operation on August 15 after careful deployment, codenamed "City Gate Firefighting"!
