It was already two o'clock in the morning, and the military office was still brightly lit, and since the war started in the south and many parties, Su Huiyi and several staff members had been discussing and deploying the battle plan. He didn't rest for two days in a row, he was already boiling oil in a dry pot, leaning on the sofa, holding the defense map and ordering: "Let the Fourth and Fifth Military Regions transfer to Nanping, and you don't have to entangle with Lu Yuping anymore." Mobilize two divisions to Yongzhou, and kill Zhang Peiyuan at all costs. ”

Qin Tongjun pondered for a moment, "Qi Shao, the most important thing now is the garrison of the defense line, seeing that Lu Yuping's side is about to fight to Changzhou, if we lose it again, it will be very disadvantageous to us." ”

Su Huiyi pressed the corner of his forehead, and said very tiredly: "It is to deliberately empty the garrison to lure them in, once it is under our noses, I will ask Lu Yuping to go and never return." ”

He paused and pointed to Yongzhou on the map, "Uncle Qin, Yongzhou is separated by a river to the north, once we start a war, Zhang Peiyuan will not have the slightest chance of winning." As he was talking, Lin Ning had already knocked on the door and walked in, handed over the newspaper, and said, "Qishao, the Congress is very dissatisfied with your detention of Qiao Shijun, and has begun to use public opinion to suppress you." ”

Su Huiyi knew that the Qiao family would not give up, so he took the newspaper and glanced at it, seeing that it was full of negative remarks about him, he put the newspaper on the table, "Let them go, if I stop them at this time, the remarks will only be more unfavorable to me." ”

He paused and asked, "How is my father doing?" ”

Lin Ning replied: "Just out of the danger period. ”

Su Huiyi slowed down a little, he thought about the planned matter this time, although he blamed Qiao Shijun, but it was difficult to guarantee that someone would not give him the title of "borrowing a knife to kill", although the father and son were in the newspaper together, there were still rumors in the outside world that Su Shengbai was set up by him.

It is bound to be that some people will use the discord between father and son as the reason, and directly accuse him of taking the opportunity to kill his father on the grounds of marrying Qiao Shijun. At that time, Su Shengbai will be a difficulty. He thought for a while before he said: "This matter is very tricky to deal with, in order to catch Qiao Shijun, I just wanted to put a crime on him, which not only took him but also deterred those people in the Chamber of Commerce, without considering that the Congress also took advantage of my handle." ”

Qin Tongjun sighed, "At present, there are constant wars in the south, and these things are really overwhelming, you might as well go with them to make trouble, and after the marshal recovers, I will invite someone from the newspaper to interview and calm down public opinion in the country." ”

He looked at Su Huiyi and said earnestly: "These things have not been handled well by the sages and sages since ancient times, it is nothing more than someone with a heart to buckle their hats, as long as Qi Shao stabilizes the current situation, these remarks will be self-defeating." ”

Su Hui sighed with gratitude before saying: "Now the situation is very favorable to the north, and we must pacify the south in the short term." ”

Everyone responded one after another, and an attendant outside the door shouted a report, and then Pan Qingyan hurriedly walked in, and when he saw Su Huiyi, he hurriedly said: "Seven young people, I just received the news, and the front line of Changzhou has also declared independence!" ”

Su Huiyi frowned, he was always in danger, and he only felt a buzzing in his ears at the moment. On the other side, Qin Tongjun was already anxious to stand up, "When did this happen?" ”

He turned to Su Huiyi, "Seven Shao, the independence of Changzhou is very unfavorable to us at the moment, and it is an important place for us to transport military funds." ”

Su Huiyi pressed the corner of his forehead, but he didn't speak when he looked at the defense map, and waved his hand for a while. Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything more, and walked out one after another.

He sat alone on the sofa, only to feel that the room was extremely quiet, and even the sound of his own breathing could be heard. Suddenly, he could not stand the silence, so he got up and went to the window, which was pitch black, as if everything in the city had died.

The light and shadow cast his whole person on the glass, because of the sleepless days and the exhaustion, his cheeks were already a little sunken, the eyebrows were getting deeper and deeper, and his eyes seemed to be painted, very deep.

He looked far away, and the end of the canopy was also pitch black, and he couldn't even see the stars.

The sound of the wind rustled, and it sounded in my ears like the chirping of insects in summer. He listened silently for a moment before turning around and going back to ring the electric bell, Lin Ning quickly walked in, he fastened the button on his collar, and lightly ordered, "Go back to the mansion." ”

Since Su Huiyi locked up the female dependents in the mansion, the big and small matters of the Overseer's Mansion fell on the sixth lady Su Fangfei, she used to be a family careless, but now the family is torn apart, although she knows all kinds of reasons, she has to be silent.

Seeing that Su Shengbai was in the hospital for rescue, and the ladies in the house also fell ill one after another, although she was depressed about Qiao Yunhua's affairs, she had to cheer up.

Before dawn at this time, she had already gotten up, and while instructing her mother-in-law to decoct the medicine, she went to Cheng Jinyu. Since Su Qingyang was imprisoned, Cheng Jinyu's body has been getting worse day by day, and it has been difficult to swallow even medicine recently.

She originally had some old friendships with Cheng Jinyu, but she couldn't bear it, so she took a look at it from time to time. When she arrived at Cheng Jinyu's yard, she saw that the lights were bright, and she felt that something was wrong, she couldn't help but speed up her steps, and happened to see a few maids walking out in a hurry, she asked, "What's wrong with the second sister-in-law?" ”

Seeing that the savior was coming, Xiaoqing cried and said anxiously: "Miss Six, please save our young grandmother, she fainted again!" ”

Su Fangfei didn't have time to say more, so she quickly ordered someone to ask for a doctor, and when she walked in, she saw Cheng Jinyu lying on the bed, her body was thin, her face was almost transparent, and the corners of her lips were not bloody.

She couldn't help but slow down, the light flickered in front of her eyes, her instinct was not good, and tears were about to fall. But seeing Cheng Jinyu's eyes slightly open, he beckoned when he saw that it was her, and said softly: "I'm just a little tired, I want to sleep for a while, why did they alarm you?" ”

Su Fangfei knew that she had always spoken softly, but at the moment, she was weak, which made people feel pitiful for no reason. She hurriedly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, thinking that she had not been happy all these years, and couldn't help but say: "Second sister-in-law, you are a person who is very thoughtful, and the slightest little thing weighs a thousand pounds when it comes to you, why do you think about it so much?" ”

Cheng Jinyu just smiled when she heard her explain herself, "After so many years, I can't think about it alone." ”

She paused, tears in her eyes, "How is he?" ”

Su Fangfei didn't want to mention this, and couldn't bear to brush her mind at the moment, so she said: "The second brother is very good, but you are yourself, you have to take care of it." ”

Cheng Jinyu didn't know where the strength came from, grabbed her hand, and said, "Sister, I want to meet him." ”

Su Fangfei didn't want to listen to such words, but it was like a parting wish, which made her cry, but she saw that she was not good, so she said, "You take the medicine well, and I will take you to see him." ”

The maid on the other side shouted again and again that the doctor was coming, so she patted the back of Cheng Jinyu's hand, got up and walked out. When I looked up and saw the sky, it was already slightly bright, but the dark clouds were overhead, thinking that another heavy rain was coming.

She felt uncomfortable in her heart, and while walking out, she asked the messenger at the door, "Is Qishao back?" ”

The messenger hurriedly replied: "I'm back." ”

Seeing such a coincidence, Su Fangfei kept walking towards the courtyard of the main house, and at this time, the clouds were getting thicker, and the black pressure was covering her head, making the mansion more and more gloomy.

She walked through the verandah, and saw a corner of the eaves not far away, hidden under the plane tree, and looked up, she saw that the window on the second floor of the small building was open, and the day was gray, and the sycamore in the yard was swaying with the wind, and the leaves were shaking to the ground.

She was originally angry in her heart, but when she saw this scene at this moment, she only felt desolate and lonely. There was no one at the gate of the courtyard, she walked in slowly, all the way into the small building, at this time the steps became lighter and lighter, step by step to the second floor, and saw the bedroom door ajar, she walked over lightly, looked through the gap, and saw Su Huiyi sitting on the edge of the bed, not even taking off the military hat on his head, and I don't know how long he stayed like this.

Looking at it like this, she only felt that his back was lonely, everything in the room was dark and gloomy, as if it was still when Shen Qiangrose was there, she couldn't bear it in her heart, so she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and walked out gently.

When she went out, it was already raining outside, and she thought about the scene in this mansion in the past, but it had only been a year, and it was already a matter of fact. As soon as she got out of the yard, the maid came over and said, "Miss, the second young grandmother is fine." ”

Su Fangfei knew that these people were comforting herself, and she said lightly, "You clean up for the second sister-in-law, and I'll take her to see the second brother." ”

She took the umbrella and said again, "You all go, I want to walk by myself." ”

The rain gradually became heavier, falling on the bluestone slabs and crackling, and the rain and smoke swirled in front of me, and it was so big. Looking at it in a flash, this ancient mansion is getting darker and darker, like a white painting with light ink, and it is dark and gloomy at all times.

The rain poured from her neckline, and she was originally wearing thin clothes, so she couldn't help but feel chills all over her body. Originally, the road was full of pink walls and tiles, but no matter how you look at it, it is all old.

The car was already prepared at the gate of the courtyard, and she stood at the door, and saw Cheng Jinyu walking out surrounded by a group of subordinates, she was wearing a plain cheongsam, with a broken cloud cloak on her shoulders, and her posture was thin and weak, covered by the rain curtain, as if she was about to drift away.

She greeted her, and saw that her lips were dotted with honey, and her face was more and more lined like a peach and plum, and she was still as beautiful as before. Cheng Jinyu stroked her hair and asked her, "How do I look at it?" ”

Su Fangfei knew that she had never seen people indifferently, and her heart was not even good, so she nodded and helped her to the car.

By this time the sun had long been hidden in the clouds, and overhead there were dark clouds, and in the distance there was a flock of swallows, chirping low at the eaves, and soon they swept across the sky and flew away.
