Chapter 3: The Betrothal (5)

Because Ninghu was in the suburbs, they hurried to catch up, and when they came back, it was still time to hold the lamp. The car stopped outside the gate, hesitated for a moment, and was about to ask the driver to send He Shiyi back first, but He Shiyi stepped out of the car door first; "I should go in and see my uncle."

In the living room, Yan Ye was sitting there alone playing chess. The huge room, the lights were bright, and I couldn't help but feel sour when I watched my father sitting there quietly, with a beautiful back. For more than 20 years, in the shallow impression, my father's longest habit seems to be sitting alone and playing games.

"Miss, Captain He." A passing servant saw them and saluted them.

Yan Yezheng turned around when he heard the voice, saw them standing at the door, and smiled faintly; "Captain Ho can play chess?"

"The little nephew knows a little bit about it." He Shiyi, who had been standing silently next to Qing Qian, smiled gently.

Even though I've watched chess for so many years, I still can't understand it. Each time, he just glanced twice and ran away. Today, I sat next to my father very obediently and watched chess quietly.

The living room was quiet, and the sound of the pendulum clock "ticking and ticking" was very clear. Qingqian was apprehensive, so he silently counted the bells "one, two, three......". The two men playing the game looked attentive, and the room was quiet. Qing Qian thought about how good it would be if the time was placed like this, and he accidentally lost his mind.

"My uncle's chess skills are exquisite, and my little nephew lost." The sound of He Shiyi broke the silence.

Yan Yezheng's eyebrows and eyes stretched, and laughter came out; "The virtuous nephew is willing to give in, otherwise, the old man would not have won so quickly."

He Shiyi and Yan Yezheng were still talking about the chess game, and the maid came in and asked when the meal would start.

"Nephew hasn't eaten yet, has he?" Yan Yezheng happily patted He Shiyi's shoulder and led him to the dining room.

At the dinner table, Yan Yezheng's interest was also very good. Qingqian forcibly suppressed the doubts in his heart and quietly accompanied him. After eating, Yan Yezheng led He Shiyi back to his yard to play chess. Qing Qian was just about to go together, but was stopped by Yan Yezheng; "If you're impatient, let's go back to the house and rest!"

Qingqian returned to his yard with a heart full of worries. The noodle man Konishi bought back last time is still resting in front of the dresser.

The Chang'e in front of her had a moth brow, and her dress was elegant, as if she was really going to step on the moon.

The insects outside the window sighed, the house was hot and silent, and Qing only felt impatient. Although her father has always been considerate and courteous, he has already said that he does not approve of her marriage with He Shiyi. At this time, how to treat He Wetsuit's attitude, but it is less polite than in the past. It's hard to fathom what my father plans to do.

In the end, I was worried, and after a little thought, I called Xiaoxi to go to the kitchen to get some snacks.

As soon as he walked to Yan Yezheng's yard, he was cold, and saw Yan Yezheng standing alone under the rockery in the yard.

"Father." Qingqian's heart jumped, and he held his breath.

"Captain He is gone, and you are so worried about being a father." Yan Yezheng glanced at the dim sum in Qing Qian's hand and sighed.

Qing Qian stood there, his hand holding the tray slightly stiff.

"I have agreed to the marriage in front of everyone, how can I change my mind again. However, this learning is also to be kept. That's it, you and Captain He are engaged first, and you will go abroad after the engagement. I have consulted with Captain Ho and he agrees. The moon shadow was swaying, and Yan Ye was standing in the shadows, showing a little tiredness.

"Father, your daughter has embarrassed you." Qing Qian didn't expect his father to compromise so quickly, and his voice was hoarse.

The sun was just right, and from a distance, the twin buildings of the Jinyuan Military Department Office were solemn and silent. It was as if the footsteps of the patrolling guards could be distinguished.

Wu Wu pushed the door into the office, and his colleague Xiao Zhang laughed out loud, "You still think about it before you come in!" How many times have you been in and out this morning, but I can help you remember it. ”

Xiao Zhang stared at Wu Wu with a pair of big watery eyes, unable to hide the naughty cuteness of the girl Huaichun.

Wu Wu had always been able to joke in the office, but he just laughed sullenly and really pushed the door out. In the office, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Qian on the opposite side looked at each other, I don't know why.

"Xiao Zhang, you're making a big joke." ** Oldest in the office and honest in his speech.

"I saw Captain He go up to the third floor in the morning, and he hasn't come down yet, so I don't think it's good."

"Ahh Xiao Zhang was taken aback. Wu Wu has always followed Captain He to do things, no wonder today is so abnormal.

"These two people are not in the building all day, and no one asks? This will be ...... by the commander" Xiao Qian has always been jealous and hated that Xiao Zhang is more intimate with Wu Wu than himself, and it is rare to seize the opportunity, so he naturally has to arrange a few words about Wu Wu.

said that Wu Wu came out of the corridor, but he didn't dare to go to the commander's office on the third floor.

In the morning, He Shiyi went to see the commander and specially did not let him follow, Wu Wu felt that things were not good, and sure enough, it had been in for a few hours, but no one came out.

Wu Wu walked back and forth in the corridor, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, but he couldn't think of any way. A figure dangled in the corridor, Wu Wu's heart moved, and he hurriedly ran over; "Colonel Qin...... Colonel Qin".

"Hehe, Xiao Wu, your Captain He hasn't gotten out of bed yet?" In the office building, Qin Yiqian and He Shiyi have always had the best relationship, and they have no scruples when they speak.

"Colonel Qin, you'll have to do a favor here." Wu Wu was concerned about Qin Yiqian's ridicule, and hurriedly pulled Qin Yiqian to a secluded place. Wu Wu didn't dare to tell the story of going to Qingang without permission with He Shiyi, but only vaguely said that Captain He went to the third floor in the morning and has not come down yet.

Qin Yiqian, a person who understood so much, immediately woke up, and his face sank; "What the hell did you Captain He do?"

"He ......" Wu Wu hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether to say it or not.

"You kid, I usually see that you are very clever, why did you become a wooden lump now. If you don't say, how can I help your captain? Qin Yiqian's face was impatient.

"We ......" What is the mission of He Shiyi and Wu Wu this time, Qin Yiqian also knows. In front of him, he could only count on Qin Yiqian, and Wu Wuyi gritted his teeth. He honestly told Qin Yiqian about He Shiyi and his secret trip to Qingang.

"Wet clothes are so muddled, you wait." Qin Yiqian stomped his feet after listening to Wu Wu's words, and walked back and forth in place a few times. With a slap on the door, he hurried towards his office.

The third floor is the commander-in-chief's office, and the security is naturally much tighter than that downstairs.

Qin Yiqian relieved the gun for the guards, and the secretary looked at him with a smile; "The commander is resting, so it's inconvenient to see him for the time being."

"Xiao Gu, help, urgent official document." Qin Yiqian's face was in a hurry.

"But......" Gu Yujin had the intention to help He Shiyi inside, and deliberately showed a little hesitation.

"If the commander is to blame, come down and count it on me." Qin Yiqian was extremely refreshing.

"Alright then!" Gu Yujin got up and knocked on the office door.

waited for half a ring before I heard Luo Rongkai's voice coming from the inside.

Qin Yiqian entered the office and saw He Shiyi standing in the office, and it was normal to look at Commander Luo's expression. With a wide heart, he secretly scolded Wu Wu for making a big fuss. Waiting for Luo Rongkai to sign the document, he hurriedly withdrew.

"You go on." Waiting for Qin Yiqian to take the door out, Luo Rongkai motioned to He Wetsuit to continue the unfinished words.

"Commander, when I was in Zhuotai, I had the opportunity to read the files of the Huishan arms case twenty years ago. And Yan Yezheng also settled in Jinyuan at this time, and speculated that there might be a connection between the two. ”

"The files of the Huishan arms case have always been classified documents, how can you see them?" Luo Rongkai was surprised.

"Humble ......"

"Well, that document did be transferred to Zhuotai. Is there anyone else who sees it but you? Luo Rongkai interrupted He Shiyi's words, Huishan arms has always been a hidden worry in his heart.

"Nope." He wet clothes were silent.

"You didn't mention it to me before?"

"The lowly position is just speculation, and I am afraid that the speculation is wrong, but it is only privately verified. Recently, it was confirmed that it was indeed true, and he was eager to make meritorious contributions, so he made his own decisions and wanted to get close to Yan Yezheng again. ”

"But what does this have to do with you going to Qingang and killing the people sent by Minister Wang?"

"The previous commander had said that this person was cautious, and it was extremely difficult to get close to, and there was only a loophole in the heart of his daughter. The despicable courage to kill the people sent by Minister Wang, pretending to protect Miss Yan, is precisely to gain Miss Yan's absolute trust and get close to Yan Yezheng. ”

"This Miss Yan doesn't just trust you very much now!" Luo Rongkai smiled slightly, sweeping away his previous anger.

"The lowly decision to engage Miss Yan is an expedient measure, and with this relationship, it must be more convenient to act in a lowly manner."

"It is not easy for Yan Yezheng to agree to this marriage, you must have put a lot of effort into it. It's just that you made your own decisions and killed so many of Minister Wang's subordinates......"

"Humble and courageous, please allow the lowly to continue to thoroughly investigate the Huishan arms case, and make up for the merits." He Shiyi's words were earnest.

It was nearly noon, and the office was brightly lit. There is a pot of daffodils on the desk, the flowering period is just right, the curtains are lightly raised, and the delicate petals of the daffodils are also gently trembling with the wind, which is very delicate. Yan Yezheng's gaze inadvertently passed over the daffodils, and his face softened a lot.

"That being the case, you will continue to be responsible for a thorough investigation of Yan Yezheng, if you can find out the whereabouts of Huishan's arms." Luo Rongkai looked at He Shiyi, who was calm and calm opposite. The Huishan arms case involves a wide range of issues and is very sensitive. Otherwise, the investigation of 20 years ago would not have ended up fruitless because of too many concerns. This time, it is just the right time to test He Wetsuit's ability.

"Yes."
