Episode 17 Fourteen Grid Showdown

When Xiang Xiaoqiang returned to the headquarters, he wanted to go home and sleep directly, but when he passed the headquarters, he suddenly saw that several windows in the main building were still on. Only then did he remember that he was still in a meeting before going to the palace, and he ordered his subordinates not to go back, and they were all on call at the headquarters.

By this time, the car had already driven into the gate of the official residence. When he got out of the car to Xiaoqiang, he found that there was a person standing under the lamp, and when he looked at it again, it was Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu stood under the street lamp, already showing tiredness, but when she saw Xiang Xiaoqiang, she still had a happy smile on her face.

Xiang Xiaoqiang stepped forward to hug her and kissed her lightly, he knew that he would not return for a long time, and Xiu Xiucai was waiting here.

"My lord," Xiuxiu said softly, "you go home and sleep first, and I'll just let them go back." ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang shook his head:

"No, I'll tell them personally."

Then he took Xiuxiu and entered the headquarters together from the small door.

The conference room was still brightly lit, but the subordinates were already twisted. Some were napping on the table, some were napping on the sofa, some were reading the supporting newspaper, and when they saw Xiang Xiaoqiang coming back, they immediately stood upright.

Qiu Yu was also crooked in a sofa, sleeping soundly.

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled slightly, gently woke her up, and asked her and Xiuxiu to wake everyone up. The subordinates were woken up one by one, apologized to Xiaoqiang to everyone, and made everyone wait in vain. The subordinates repeatedly said that the adults had orders, and this should be done.

Xiang Xiaoqiang sent them back, and if there was no special car, he arranged for a car to take them home, and asked them to come to the headquarters tomorrow afternoon for a meeting to discuss the matter of Baoding.

……

Although Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't go to bed until five o'clock in the morning, he woke up before eleven o'clock in the afternoon because of something on his mind. He sprang to his feet, quickly put on his clothes, and began to realize one of his dreams in his dream.

The greatest advantage of marrying more than one lady is that you have a choice. The choice that most people understand is that they can choose which lady to sleep with. But the greater advantage is that you can choose to sleep with a certain lady, or you can choose to sleep on your own.

Xiang Xiaoqiang was stimulated last night and was afraid that he would talk in his sleep, so Qiu Yu and Xiuxiu didn't go to their rooms, so they slept in their bedrooms.

Therefore, now you can wake up and jump up at once, and it is very convenient to make a phone call.

He dialed the number of the stomach ache house, pulled the stomach ache out of the bed, and asked him to check something for himself.

In fact, the things to be investigated are not big, and there is no need to use the commander of his own security team at all, and he can check it directly by explaining Xiuxiu. But this kind of thing definitely can't be handed over to others now, only a stomachache is the most suitable.

"Ziteng, listen well," Xiang Xiaoqiang recalled for a moment, and hummed into the microphone, "Dangdangdang...... Tick Dangdang...... Di Di Dang Di ...... Dangdangdang......"

“…… My lord?! ”

The stomach hurt so much that I thought the commander was not in his right mind.

"Shh......h Listen," Xiang Xiaoqiang stopped him, trying to remember the tune Zhu Yourong sang last night, and continued to try to hum, "...... Tick Dang Dang...... Tick Dangdang...... Tick Tick Dang Tick ......"

The stomach hurt so much that he was sweating like rain, and he didn't dare to interrupt him again, just praying that this was an adult's whim, to rectify himself, not to be schizophrenic or anything......

It's so easy, Xiang Xiaoqiang roughly hummed out a few tunes in his memory, and immediately asked:

"Ziteng, have you heard these songs?"

My stomach hurt for a while, and I said worriedly:

"I didn't ...... Nope...... My lord, ...... you?! ”

"Do you know how to read music?"

The second monk with a stomachache was confused:

"Staves? Oh, understand a little, my subordinates have played erhu before......"

"Quick!" Xiang Xiaoqiang was overjoyed, and immediately ordered, "Go to the nearest place and get a pen and paper, I'll hum it again, you write down the score, and then check what song this is for me!" Quick, I'll forget about it later! ”

Although I don't know what's going on with my stomach ache now, at least I feel like an adult is normal, so I breathed a sigh of relief and went to get a pen and paper immediately. Bringing a pen and paper, Xiang Xiaoqiang slowly hummed on the phone again, and wrote it down with a stomachache.

"Listen to Ziteng, these four songs are not trivial, and it is very likely that they are used to transmit information at the sticky pole...... You check it yourself, don't let anyone else do it. This should be an English song, you follow the English song to check. The song titles, lyrics, songwriters and so on, all of them are checked for me, do you hear? Find out for me today. ”

The stomach hurts and now understands the importance, and hurriedly accepts the order.

……

At lunchtime, Xiang Xiaoqiang discussed with Xiuxiu and Qiuyun about the position of the fourteen grids in the matter of supporting and incorporating the Bao Definition Army. Fourteen Gege is the former Manchu Gege, Manchu, and the Manchu is the state of her parents. Considering her identity and her feelings, when she encountered things related to the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the past, she tried not to let her participate, and she also consciously avoided participating in these things.

But Xiang Xiaoqiang's ambition is to go north to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and completely eliminate the Manchu regime, which cannot be bypassed after all. The role of 14 Gege in the People's Guard Force is getting bigger and bigger, and he is no longer the head of a small department, but has become Xiang Xiaoqiang's chief military adviser and the actual second-in-command of the People's Guard. It is impossible to bypass her in the cause of "dealing with the Manchus". Now it's time for her to make it clear. What was her attitude towards the Manchu regime? What role is she willing to play in the cause of the Ming and Qing dynasties?

Because one of the things that is imminent is to hold a meeting in the afternoon, whether to notify the fourteen grids to participate. To be honest, it's so unrealistic that such a big thing completely leaves her out of the line. It also broke her heart too much.

Qiu Yun advocated bringing the fourteen Gegra over. Because the whole family of Fourteen Gege was killed by the Qing court, there was a hatred against the sky. And she has already voted for Daming, became the princess of Daming, and also held an important position in the People's Guard, and now it is impossible to turn back, so she can only plan for Daming wholeheartedly.

Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded, and looked at Xiuxiu again. Xiuxiu looked at Qiu Qiu, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said:

"My lord, what Qiu Yu said is right, Princess Liaoyang has no way out, she is already the princess of our Ming Dynasty...... But...... Adult ......"

Xiuxiu hesitated, stopped talking, and looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang gently.

"Huh?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang glanced at Qiu Yu quickly, and then looked at Xiuxiu, and said in his heart, You won't have anything inconvenient to say in front of Qiu Yu, right?

Qiu Yu also felt it, and also said "Huh", staring at Xiuxiu with his eyes.

Xiuxiu was stunned, looked at Qiu Yu, and then at Xiang Xiaoqiang, and understood that they had misunderstood, so she smiled "poof", and then smiled:

"Oh, I mean, uh...... This matter is related to the adult's understanding of Princess Liaoyang...... That is, well, my lord, that is...... When you persuaded her to come to Daming, to what extent, or rather, uh...... What have you ever had...... Well, the convention. ”

What a powerful little girl!!

Xiang Xiaoqiang was almost dumbfounded, looked at Xiuxiu, and immediately looked at her.

When he persuaded Fourteen Gege to take refuge in Daming on the train - note that he took refuge in Daming, not to Daming - there was no third person in that carriage. Xiuxiu can analyze this! That's amazing!

Xiang Xiaoqiang is glad that Xiuxiu is his wife at the moment, otherwise, there is always such a scheming girl around him, so he doesn't even have a minimum sense of security?

……

Yes, what Xiuxiu said makes a lot of sense. This actually means that although Fourteen Gege was listened to and killed the whole family, and became the princess of the Ming Dynasty, it may not necessarily help you deal with the Manchu Qing intimately.

Xiang Xiaoqiang is in a dilemma. That being said, what can be done?

He looked at the two little girls, and Qiu Yu looked at him with wide eyes, as if he wanted to listen to him make a decision in the next second.

And Xiuxiu lowered her head, held the chicken with chopsticks, and slowly filled her mouth one by one. As if to say: I don't know what you said at the beginning, and now I don't make decisions for you.

Xiang Xiaoqiang sighed, put down his chopsticks, and held his forehead, looking sad and depressed.

Xiuxiu raised her eyes and saw him like this, smiled softly, and said with relief:

"My lord, if you can't be sure, talk to her. Always deliberately excludes her, we think it's good for her, maybe she will think more. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang was reminded by her. That's right, you can't keep avoiding it like this. Okay, you have to face it.

……

After eating, Xiang Xiaoqiang took advantage of noon and arrived at the headquarters early, wanting to talk to Fourteen Gege.

According to his assumption, Fourteen Gege is afraid that he already knows about Baoding by now. This morning, several heads in the headquarters were not there, they were all sleeping at home, and Fourteen Gege was going to work as usual, I didn't know if it was impossible.

Sure enough, Fourteen Gege already knew. But I don't know everything.

Xiang Xiaoqiang told her the details from beginning to end, and then told her that there would be a meeting in the afternoon to discuss the matter.

Then he sat on the couch and stared at her.

Fourteen Gege nodded and said faintly:

"I know, you're going to have a showdown with me now."

"Yes."

Fourteen Gege also stared at him, and for a while, smiled a little sadly, and said softly:

"Xiang Xiaoqiang...... Xiaoqiang, I ......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang's heart began to pound: She called me Xiaoqiang! …… She actually called me Xiaoqiang...... Is it ......?

Fourteen Gege said the word "I", his throat choked slightly, his eyes turned red, and he couldn't go on.

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at her in surprise and guessed: Does she want to confess to me? …… Take the initiative to confess?

Fourteen Gege lowered his head, his lips moving slightly, and he didn't know what he was silently reading. After a long time, he finally made up his mind, looked up and said sadly:

"I'm going to give you a showdown too."

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at her expression and tone, and a sense of foreboding rose up.

"Stall...... What is the showdown? ”

"Xiaoqiang......" Fourteen Gege smiled tearfully and said, "I ask you, what you said when you persuaded me to come to Daming, do you ...... You still admit it all, right? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang was stunned and nodded slowly:

"Yes, of course I do."

Fourteen Gege continued to choke and said:

"You said, you want to help me turn the tables...... You also said that I have the blood of Huang Taiji in my veins, and I must be good to myself and treat myself...... One day, I will live a better life than everyone else, and all the scenery will be beautiful...... On the day I first joined the People's Guard, you told me that you would fulfill your promise and let me live the freewheeling and high-flying life I used to live again...... Isn't that so? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang was dumbfounded, and said in his heart, it's over...... Now let her help fight Beiqing is hope...... There is Huang Taiji's blood flowing in people's veins......

"Xiaoqiang......" Fourteen Gege asked with tears in his eyes, "If one day, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty is no longer Guangwu, but Jiade, I ...... I can go back to Gege again...... In other words, if Emperor Jiade welcomes me to go back...... Da Ming will definitely not let me go back, so, will you help me? Help me get back to the Qing Dynasty? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at her dumbfounded, and it took a long time to understand the meaning of her words.

No way...... Did the deposed Emperor Jiade make a comeback? Emperor Guangwu is stepping down? …… Could it be that in this Ming and Qing war, the Qing army suffered a crushing defeat, resulting in the loss of the prestige of Emperor Guangwu, and the deposed Emperor Jiade gathered a group of political forces to overthrow Emperor Guangwu first?

But, how could it be! How could I not know about such a big thing? …… Could it be that Emperor Guangwu has been secretly arrested and detained? …… I don't even know that, how can Fourteen Gege know?

Yes, she is also a commander of the People's Guard, with her own radio station and a full set of communication tools...... When Emperor Jiade first regained power, he would definitely try his best to unite all the forces that could be united, including the Fourteen Gege, who had fled to the Ming Dynasty!

……

Xiang Xiaoqiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered:

"Qing Yu...... No, the Manchu Jiade Emperor...... Would you please go back to the sticky pole again? ”

Fourteen Gege nodded slightly.

Xiang Xiaoqiang suddenly felt that the five thunders were on the top, his eyes were dark, and his body shook and he was about to be carried down. I vaguely heard Fourteen Gege silently say:

"Xiaoqiang...... When I first met you, we were enemies...... But then, we became friends...... Now, I'm going back again, and we're going to be enemies...... However, the days when I was not an enemy with you will become memories for the rest of my life......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang felt the pain in his heart, and he was almost about to kill himself. He pinched his pants with both hands fiercely, as if if he would tear them, and Fourteen Gege would change his mind.

He suddenly felt like crying, and suddenly felt that his nose was sore, and tears were about to fill his eyes. He stood up and walked around on the spot, tilting his face back, and finally suppressed the tears that were about to come out.

Fourteen Gege was still silently speaking:

"Xiaoqiang, I need to go back now...... Need your help......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang really wanted to detain the fourteen grids on the spot and let her stay in Daming forever.

However, he choked up, and the hoarse voice that came out was:

"Okay, I'll help you."

Fourteen Gege immediately asked urgently:

"How can I help?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang closed his eyes painfully, but said vaguely

"I ...... I'll find a way to arrange for you to leave Daming first...... Then you go to Japan, and from Japan back to the Manchus...... I...... I'll have to help you make it look like you're absconding, and then ......"

As he spoke, his legs weakened, and he sat on the sofa with his buttocks, unable to speak any longer.

……

Something extra in hand.

Looking down at Xiaoqiang, it was a handkerchief. He lifted his face to see Fourteen Geg sitting on the couch across from him, and was already close together.

The little woman on her face just now can't be found at all, and the fourteen squares in the past seem to be back. There seemed to be a playful smile on his face.

"Wipe your tears," Fourteen Gege said softly, staring at him, almost laughing, "it's ugly." Xiang Xiaoqiang, you are a big man. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang was a little inexplicable, subconsciously took the handkerchief, and then just stared greedily at Fourteen Gege.

This feeling is to look at it and look at it less.

Fourteen Gege sighed and said:

"From today onwards, I will wholeheartedly help you deal with Beiqing. …… How's that, satisfied? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at her in a daze, and didn't understand what was going on.

"However, I'm just helping you alone," Fourteen Gege continued, "not to help Da Ming, not to help Zhu Yourong, just to help you alone...... Moreover, I still have conditions. Specific conditions, I'll have a showdown with you when I get back...... Do you understand? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang still didn't understand, at this moment his head was already in the form of paste, and he just stared blankly at Fourteen Gege.

"Well, I mean to say," Fourteen explained with a bit of guilt when he saw that he didn't understand yet, "just ...... I told you that I wanted to go back to Beiqing or something, well, I was talking about playing, that is, ...... Nothing like that. …… Got it? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang couldn't say anything at this time, just leaned back on the sofa very weakly and nodded. It took half a day to squeeze out one sentence:

"Really?"

Fourteen Gege smiled and nodded.

"For ...... Why ......"

"What's the solution?" Fourteen Gege lowered his head and smiled lightly, a rare flush crept up on his face, "If it's not true, you'll cry." ”

"Oh......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang was sad and then experienced great joy, and under the double blow, he couldn't react violently. He just nodded, a reassuring smile on his lips.

Fourteen Gege looked at him, his gaze slowly becoming affectionate, and gently took one of his hands and held it in his own.
