The imperial capital of Beijing, in the Navy General Hospital next to the street outside Fuchengmen in the west of the city. On the shore of Yuyuantan Lake, which was covered with ice and snow, a handsome woman wearing a navy dark blue tweed coat and a blue and white striped patient's cotton coat underneath, supported by another sturdy man wrapped in an army yellow-green coat and wearing an army aviation badge on his military cap, walked leisurely with white steam, blushing from time to time, pursing her lips and smiling from time to time, and sometimes gloomy and sad.

Suddenly, the woman stopped, bowed deeply to the man, and said gratefully: "No matter what, Zhilu Dao and their brother and sister are doing well, it is really much more reassuring, thank you, Chief Liang." ”

The man known as Chief Liang is one of the henchmen of Her Majesty the Empress, Brigadier General Liang Gensheng, director of the Preparatory Office of the Army's Special Operations Command.

"Don't be so polite, didn't I say it. As long as you can use me......"

Cai Guolan raised her head and smiled: "I owe you too much favor." ”

"It's really nothing, don't think too much about it - they should be your very important friends, right?"

Cai Guolan nodded vigorously: "Yes, a very important friend." ”

Liang Gensheng tilted his head: "I think they think so too." ”

Cai Guolan looked in the direction indicated by Liang Gensheng, and three figures could be faintly seen in a small pavilion deep into the lake, two of them seemed to be waving to this side, and couldn't help but press their hands to their chests, and their surprise was overflowing: "You brought them?" ”

Liang Gensheng shrugged: "After they hear your news, they must come over immediately, I just made it a little convenient." ”

Cai Guolan held his hand excitedly: "Thank you so much, thank you so much, you are such a good person - help me over." ”

Liang Gensheng, who was innocently issued a good person card, shook his head and smiled, hugged her and walked carefully towards the pavilion.

When he was seven or eight steps away from the pavilion, a light woman wrapped in a strange and dazzling Indian sari wrapped in an open military coat rushed over with a wave of her hand above her head, and took Cai Guolan's hands and asked a long and short question: "Sister, is there anything wrong, does your leg still hurt?" Are there any injuries elsewhere? When did you get here? How long will it take to be discharged......"

That's right, this familiar kitten face is Qi Bing, which Cai Guolan is most worried about.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine, but you're dressed ......"

Cai Guolan is the first time to see a real sari with her own eyes, and she has only seen it occasionally in books before, so she is naturally curious.

Qi Bing turned around on the spot very stinkingly: "How is it?" Is it good-looking? ”

Cai Guolan tilted her head: "I don't know what Lu Dao said...... It's interesting, where the hell did you get it? ”

Qi Bing lowered his head a little embarrassedly: "It's a long story...... That time I fell into the sea, I fell asleep before I knew it, and when I woke up, I had been picked up by a few Indian fishermen, and a lot of things happened later...... Anyway, it's amazing, it's amazing, and I was saved by that person......"

"That person?"

Cai Guolan noticed that the people who followed Qi Bing out of the pavilion to greet him were except for Qi Peng, who was inexplicably wearing an army aviation armband on his coat. There was also a dark-skinned young man with a wicked smile and a familiar look.

"It was on Oahu that saved us, the agent who cut sugar cane, the one from the Counseling Department, his name is Zheng An, remember?" Qi Bing reminded a little anxiously.

Cai Guolan blinked incredulously: "Is it him?" How could he be in India? ”

Before Qi Bing could answer, Zheng An, who was on the tip of his ear, had already taken over the conversation: "Because I'm tanned enough in Hawaii, I'm more like an Indian, right?" ”

Qi Bing turned around and said half-angrily and half-teasingly: "No, because you are the authentic Indian Ah San, I have evidence, you are the same as them, you eat with your right hand and go to the toilet with your left hand......"

"Wait, I don't understand a little, the left hand to the toilet refers to ......"

Cai Guolan interjected a little confused.

Zheng An raised his chin and retorted: "What kind of evidence is this, are you still following me to the toilet to peek?" Oh, the current girl's family is not ashamed. ”

Qi Bing's face suddenly turned red, "Who do you say is not ashamed!" I've listened to Uncle Abara, let's go, let's go back now and confront Uncle Abara!" ”

"The relationship between the two is very good."

Liang Gensheng, who was left out in the cold, couldn't help but comment half-jokingly.

Qi Bing's face burned into a fire. He waved his hand vigorously and said: "What a little couple, I misunderstood, there is absolutely no such thing, if you want me to be with this dead hooligan stinky Ah San, it is better to let the sharks in the Bay of Bengal eat me as soon as possible." ”

Zheng An followed up with a tone of oil: "My dear, this is your mistake, why do you want to hide it?" I'm married, and Uncle Abara and the whole village can testify......"

"No kidding, it's all fake, just to avoid the British search, and you're here for real?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was inclined to be white-hot, Cai Guolan hurriedly stepped in between the two, helped Qi Bing's arm and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, seeing your lively appearance, I am much more relieved - what are your plans in the future?" ”

Qi Bing gathered his coat and covered the tightly wrapped sari inside: "The above wants me to be an instructor, I don't have the patience to serve those little boys, I plan to go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for help, and let me go back to the mothership, but this time I want to change the airship battle and help Sister Cai cover that annoying Dongfang Ming...... So, when will Sister Cai go back? ”

"I ......"

Cai Guolan glanced at Liang Gensheng beside him, and involuntarily bowed his head and said, "You also know the way, I received a transfer order before the war. ”

Qi Bing said disapprerovingly: "I also received a transfer order, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very talkative, I will ask him to help you by the way, there will be no problem." ”

"Let's talk about this later......"

Cai Guolan was eager to change the subject, obviously she could not admit that she had been bound by some kind of non-institutional force, like a caged bird.

"Qi Peng. You okay? ”

The courtesy greeting finally fell on Qi Peng, who had been ignored for a long time.

αＰ。 "Okay, how's your injury?" ”

Cai Guolan noticed that Qi Peng, who was originally active and reckless, was as calm as ice at the moment, even in the greetings that sounded sincere, there was a vague loneliness and melancholy that could not be dissolved.

"I'm afraid I'll have to stay here for a while, but it's fine, don't worry...... How are you? What's going on with this set of land aviation clothes? ”

Qi Peng sneered half-self-deprecating and half-complaining: "It's nothing, that day I thought Qi Bing was dead, so I grabbed a plane to avenge her, and after that, God opened my eyes and let me find the enemy's flagship, so I rushed over and wanted to hit the bridge." Who thought of the last moment, somehow, shaken, thought that my sister who had a big life must be a cat, should have nine lives, minus the time on Oahu, there are still eight left, so I didn't hit it, strafed a round, and the plane was injured when I broke away. After the worst, he fell to the surface of the sea and fished it up for his own people. Later, when the court martial was held, no one believed that I had shot Jericho's flagship, and it was judged that it was disobedience and unauthorized action, and that I had been expelled from the country. ”

Qi Bing lowered his face and pulled his brother's sleeve: "Forget it, it's all over, fortunately, with the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, let Lu Hang take you in, I heard that Captain Cai Yi Cai is a famous general." The ability to recruit talents and recognize people is first-class, and my brother will not suffer if he follows him. ”

When Liang Gensheng heard the word "Cai Yi", the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he unconsciously muttered: "Is 101 mixed into a team?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... I see......"

Cai Guolan next to him only thought about his own business, and didn't ask much, just thinking about how to be happy when he finally met, so he smiled and proposed: "It's cold standing here, the cafeteria should be open, let's go there to warm up first, right?" ”

Liang Gensheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "Eh...... What kind of canteen to go to, I invited everyone to go out for a big meal, the tables were all booked, and the hospital also said hello......"

Qi Bing blinked and made an innocent look: "Okay, then we might as well be respectful and obey our fate-brother-in-law." ”

……

In the southwest of Beijing's outer city, outside a Western-style building on Fayuansi Front Street in Xuanwu District, which is independent of Buddhist temples, an all-black Wang Hu sedan came to an abrupt halt, and Liang Gensheng in the driver's seat straightened his collar, and took out a small bottle of mint spray from his coat pocket and pressed it three times in a row with a big mouth that smelled of alcohol, and then reached out and patted the horn switch in the middle of the steering wheel.

In a moment, the porter, dressed in an exaggerated knee-length uniform, hurried to the iron gate, glanced through the golden brass carved fence, and then quickly unlocked the lock, pulled the door, and stood solemnly by the door.

As soon as Liang Gensheng's car stopped in the courtyard, another older porter was already waiting beside him, bending down respectfully to open the door for Liang Gensheng, and invited Hou in a finely crafted Beijing accent: "Lord and Mrs. They are chatting in the living room on the second floor, General Liang, please——"

"Good work." Liang Gensheng nodded politely, got out of the car and went straight to the inner door.

Passing through the baroque arches, a triple crystal chandelier that covers almost the entire ceiling hangs from the top of the spacious and tall main hall, the marble floors are polished and pleasing to the eye, and the two winding staircases are covered with finely woven Turkish carpets, and the wood-clad copper handrails are intricately carved and extravagant.

"Turtles."

Liang Gensheng shrugged his shoulders and stomped on the stairs with his iron-clad military boots without pain, winding up. Soon I heard the sound of talking from the depths of the corridor on the second floor, echoing in bursts, as if I was in an empty valley.

“…… You all saw Yang Zhengjin's expression? This is called a stick and a carrot, first hit and then reward, don't you want to conquer the world? Okay, I promise to solve the problem within 30 years, if you don't live to that time, it's none of my business, if you can really live until then, I'm afraid your mind is not clear, where else can you jump to? This set of power tricks under Her Majesty our Empress looks shameless, but in fact, it ......"

Such a rough and steel-hard voice should undoubtedly come from the mouth of the owner here, Wu Haisong.

Liang Gensheng straightened his mind and strode towards the all-too-familiar room at the end of the hallway.
