Niu Xiaodong was confused by several elders. He didn't know what was going on here.

So he said to his grandmother, "Grandma, I don't understand what you just said. ”

"Grandson, don't you look down on other people's Ximi? Grandma didn't wait for her grandson to finish speaking, complaining about her grandson.

"Grandma, why do you keep mentioning that Simith? Who is she? I don't know her. Xiaodong emphasized again.

"Niu Xiaodong, grandma is really angry and very angry. Can you deny what I've seen with your own eyes? If you don't want to deal with people, you don't need to!"

"Okay, okay, I don't understand, I'm leaving. Niu Xiaodong said and got up and left.

"Don't go, grandson! How do I explain it to people? Grandma said helplessly watching her grandson leave.

At 3:10 p.m., Simi walked out of the tourist exit gate alone. She looked around after going out, wondering if Xiaodong had come out. She didn't see Xiaodong, but she found her mother, professor, and wife.

Ximi ran over and asked incomprehensibly, "Mom, teacher, you are also here to travel!"

"Where did I get such idleness, you have been deceived by others, can I not come?" Li Jin said angrily.

"Teacher, what's wrong with my mother, why can't I understand what she means?" asked the professor.

"Why are you so ignorant, you don't have to go home and run around with someone who looks like my son, can your mother not be in a hurry?" Niu Jiaying said critically of Ximi.

"Well, do you want to shirk your responsibility? Why does he look like your son, I think he is your son. Li Jin angrily refuted Niu Jiaying's claim.

"Don't be angry, old classmate! I have a basis for saying this. If you don't believe me, ask your daughter. ”

After listening to the teacher's words, Ximi was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Teacher, the night before yesterday, you called to ask about your son. I'm lying. Xiaodong is indeed right next to me. He won't let me tell you. But we didn't do anything. ”

"Really, there are children of all kinds of parents. Li Jin said indignantly.

"How can you talk like that, what's wrong with his parents?" Fang Qiong questioned Li Jin.

"Mom, don't say it. It was my fault, I deceived the teacher and told him that Xiaodong was not with me. Xiaodong doesn't want to be nice to me, it's me who chases others! I can't blame others. Simi explained to her mother.

"Stinky girl, you're a dead man. I've seen Niu Xiaodong before. People say they don't know you at all. You can't climb this tall branch. You, you, come with me!" Li Jin said with an embarrassed look and took his daughter's hand.

After listening to her mother's words, Simi was in a trance for a moment, and soon she understood. She thinks Xiaodong is hiding from her parents!

So, she said, "Mom, teacher, Aunt Fang, you just leave the affairs of the two of us alone, okay?"

"Ximi-san, your mother and I met Xiaodong just now. What he said seemed to be true. I don't think the person you are getting along with now is my son Niu Xiaodong. You've got it wrong. Nullilah persuaded Simi.

Li Jin grabbed Ximi and said, "Let's go! Mom didn't lie to you." This kind of person is too unworthy of you to chase him. ”

"Mom, teacher, I don't fight with you. Leave it alone. I went to meet him, and I understood everything I saw. Simi pleaded.

Fang Qiong spoke, "Okay, okay, let them meet, let her go!"

......

After dinner, Niu Jiaying told Sun Baichuan and Qu Xi what he had discovered in the past few days. Sun Baichuan and Qu Xi were very angry when they heard this, and they couldn't help but curse.

Niu Jiaying analyzed and comforted them, saying: "Qian Hui and Xu Qingyang's collusion was that they took advantage of the opportunity to accept the surrender of the Japanese army and made a fortune and came together. In order to keep this secret, they form an alliance to fight against those who threaten them.

They didn't dare to poison you directly, brother-in-law, so they had to be angry with me. Don't worry, I, the chief of staff, didn't give it for nothing, and there was no way to deal with me. ”

"Cousin, you still have to be careful!" Qu Xi instructed Yang Kaixin more and more worriedly.

Sun Baichuan said coldly: "Damn, I want to arrest them now." ”

"Brother-in-law is angry. I think we should take a break-through approach. The dismantling of their alliance must not be done in a blatant manner. ”

Sun Baichuan understood in his heart, he said that the arrest was for his wife. He continued Yang Kaixin's words and said, "That's it, do as you say." ”

Sun Baichuan thought to himself: Although Qian Hui is a deputy division commander, I can't easily do anything to him? Not to mention that he still has Xu Qingyang as his backing.

"It's a real wretch, a small deputy division commander dares to be so rampant. Don't provoke me, I'll ask my uncle to sue him, so that he can't eat and walk around. ”

"Sister, don't be angry with yourself for this. There is no need to bother my cousin with this little thing. I will let Qian Hui and Xu Qingyang fight each other, and then find an opportunity to kill Qian Hui, and it will be a waste of effort, you can see it!"

When Sun Baichuan was about to help Yang Kaixin persuade his wife, Gu Xiaoli came.

When she entered the door and saw everyone's bad faces, she said, "It seems that I didn't come at the right time to make everyone unhappy." ”

Qu Xi immediately stood up with a smile on his face and said, "Sister thinks too much, it's not for you, we're worried about the person who wants to murder my cousin!"

"It's fine if it's not for me. I learned what the chief of staff had asked me about. The jade seal of the Empress Dowager Cixi used to fall into the hands of the Japanese commander in Lanxi City, Isayama Jiro, and after the Japanese surrendered, all the property of Isayama Jiro was confiscated by Qian Hui. Who do you think the jade seal will be in now?"

Gu Xiaoli said this, seeing everyone's different expressions, she said, "Why don't you let me sit down and drink saliva." ”

Qu Xi said disappreciatively: "What kind of good news do I think? It doesn't matter whose hands it is, what do you do with that heart?"

Niu Jiaying listened to Gu Xiaoli's words, although he was a little vague about the effect of his intentions, he felt that he could give it a try.

"Sister, brother-in-law, this is indeed good news, Miss Gu has sent us a cannonball to hit them. Niu Jiaying prompted.

Sun Baichuan suddenly realized and said: "If the shells are available, it depends on how the chief of staff uses them." ”

Qu Xi was still confused.

Gu Xiaoli loves Yang Kaixin very much, so her hatred for Xu Qingyang, especially Qian Hui's murder of Yang Kaixin, is even deeper. She intended to help Yang Kaixin, and she knew from Yang Kaixin's words and expressions that Yang Kaixin recognized this matter, and she was very happy in her heart.

When Gu Xiaoli saw Qu Xi's puzzled look, she said, "Sister, this is their men's business, it doesn't matter if we women understand it or not!"

"yes, I'm too lazy to care about him!" Qu Xi said as he thought to himself: I don't understand these things, and I don't bother to understand.

After the defense meeting, Niu Jiaying often went down to the grassroots level of the army to inspect the defense work. He looked very careful at every place he visited, looking at the quality of the fortifications, understanding the functions they could play, and even the terrain around them.

Every time Niu Jiaying went down to inspect, he never brought a staff officer with him, only Adjutant Zhang and two guards accompanied by three people. Whenever he goes to a place, he gives people the feeling of walking around casually and asking casually, giving people a feeling of being approachable, very easy-going, and able to ask questions without shame.

As long as he has been, he knows the situation there by heart. When he returned, he would draw a map of the places he had been and write down various markers, and explain all kinds of things.

Niu Jiaying was welcomed everywhere he went, whether it was Sun Baichuan's subordinates or Qian Hui's subordinates. From the officers to the soldiers, they all respected him, because he was strict but not harsh, serious but not arrogant, praised more and criticized less, and what the officers and soldiers admired the most was his dashing military temperament.

Sun Baichuan was not optimistic about his brother-in-law at the beginning, he felt that Yang Kaixin was too young, and now it seems that his worries are superfluous. Sun Baichuan praised Yang Kaixin's work enthusiasm and work ability, and even his opponent Qian Hui had to admire.

Since the chief of staff took over the defense affairs, he has been much stronger than he had grasped during the time, and seeing that the deployment of others is rigorous, the work is tense and orderly, Qian Hui does not say it, and he feels ashamed in his heart. The more this happened, the more Qian Hui regretted it, regretting the failure to assassinate Yang Kaixin in the first place.

Qian Hui hid in his office and was worried, and in desperation, he slapped his face and said to himself: "Qian Hui, Qian Hui! You idiot, you have missed the opportunity again and again, see what you will do in the future, right?"

Just as he was slapping his face, a person broke in, his name was Huang Sibao, Qian Hui's brother, and the commander of the 29th Regiment of the 31st Division. This person who is fat but has a relatively small heart often comes to Qian Hui to chatter.

He entered the door and saw Qian Hui fanning his ears, so he hurriedly walked over and said, "Big brother, what are you doing here?"

"I can look like it, big brother has a toothache!" Qian Hui had to make up a nonsense.

"Big brother is on fire, right? You can't fan yourself when you're on fire!"

"Don't talk nonsense, if there's anything you want, just say it!" Qian Hui said to Huang Sibao.

"Big brother, I'm really worried about you. I found that many of our brothers have a good impression of Yang Kaixin's admiration, and it is very dangerous to go on like this. I'll ask what we're going to do in the future?"

"You ask me, I want to ask you! What do you say we will do in the future?"

"Big brother, you can't help it! Then let's all figure it out! I'll find a way." Huang Si walked away very boredly.

Yang Kaixin's fortification inspection work was carried out intermittently for several months. Niu Jiaying took advantage of this time to understand the city defense of the entire Lanxi City clearly.

From the commanding heights in the city to the large and small fortresses to the barbed wire, trenches, and dark forts outside the city, you can feel it thoroughly. Niu Jiaying took the information he had, and after his careful design, he drew a map of the urban defense deployment of Lanxi City, and there was also a detailed explanation.

After everything was ready, Niu Jiaying sent information request instructions to the director.

Instruct the Director to initiate the second set of delivery methods. On this day, Niu Jiaying drove out by herself. The car pulled up to the mailbox outside the post office and stopped.

After Niu Jiaying rang the car whistle, he got out of the car and walked to the mailbox, took two puffs of cigarette, threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and stepped on it with his foot, and threw a letter into the mailbox.

Niu Jiaying returned to the car, drove the car away, and parked outside the teahouse not far away.

Niu Jiaying walked in and sat at the tea table by the window and looked out the window. The tea was delivered, and he looked at his watch instead of drinking it. When he looked up, he saw a man coming out of the post office, opening the mailbox and taking the letter.

As the messenger was leaving, the man picked up the cigarette butt on the ground under the pretense of tying his shoelaces. Niu Jiaying saw this and drank tea with confidence.

The messenger handed the letter and the cigarette butt to another person, and one of the people took the letter and the cigarette butt, and he tore the cigarette butt open and took out a small note, which read: Tomorrow morning, the divine doctor will come to the crossing, and it will be safe. The man burned the note after reading it.
