Chapter 19: A Painful Lesson
Di Xiong successfully lured away dozens of gunmen from the Blue Dragon Society, allowing Wang Shishi and them to escape, but he was chased by the gunners of the Blue Dragon Society, and ran out of bullets at him, and was forced to throw away the bulky rifle, holding only the pistol in his hand, and was hit by a rifle bullet in his left leg, bleeding nonstop, and every step he took, it was painful and painful, and he walked slower and slower. Every house on the street closed their doors and windows, and no one wanted to get into trouble, and Di Xiong was a little desperate when he saw the pursuers approaching. Little did he know that two pairs of beautiful eyes were watching him from the window.
When passing through the back door of a small house, the back door actually opened, and a young girl said eagerly to Di Xiong: "Brother Di! Come in and get out of the way! ”
Through the lights in the courtyard, Di Xiong found that it was Lan Jinchun who spoke. She seemed to have just washed her hair, her short, wet ear-length hair glistening seductively in the light. Di Xiong quickly entered the courtyard door and said "thank you".
Lan Jinchun immediately closed the door, and dozens of pursuers did not notice it, and passed directly through the door. There was a faint fragrance of plum blossoms in the backyard, Di Xiong put away the pistol, and followed Lan Jinchun through the small courtyard into the bright living room with electric lights, the living room was placed with a set of mahogany furniture, and in the middle was a table of eight immortals. The tone of the huqin is cheerful, like Di Xiong's "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" that Di Xiong heard in his later life. Originally, Di Xiong suffered a defeat tonight and was very depressed, but after listening to the sound of the piano, his mood was much more relaxed.
Di Xiong didn't want to interrupt the sound of the piano, he saluted Lan Jinping, and sat down without speaking.
Lan Jinchun poured a cup of tea and walked over, and was very surprised to see Di Xiong's wound bleeding, so he hurriedly took gauze, bandages and wound medicine, and wanted to dress him with medicine. Di Xiong said: "Thank you! I'll do it myself! ”
Lan Jinchun insisted on bandaging him, and she smiled: "It's a rare opportunity to do something for Big Brother Di!" The corners of her mouth are a little upturned, and she smiles when she is not smiling, and her pure and beautiful face has great temptation for men. She was very skillful and quickly bandaged.
Dichon asked, "What is this place?" Your home? ”
Lan Jinchun said: "This is my sister's house, and I live with my sister." ”
Di Xiong said: "Your sister should live in General Lu's Mansion, Lu Mansion can't be so small, there are only two small courtyards. ”
Lan Jinchun didn't speak, just turned his head to look at his sister, the sound of the piano had stopped, and Lan Jinping said to Di Xiong: "Why are the people of the Blue Dragon Club chasing and killing you?" ”
Di Xiong told the truth and told the story of the sneak attack on Zhang's mansion. Lan Jinping listened quietly, and then sighed and said: "You are too impulsive in this matter, you only have dozens of people under your command now, how can you move Zhang Ade, Zhang Ade's strength is many times stronger than you, Zhang Xun, Yuan Dahua and many other governors of the Beiyang government have friendships with him, and when General Lu was the director of law enforcement, he knew that he was a royalist, and he did not dare to touch him." Now is not the time for you to be in the limelight, you should focus on preserving and developing your strength, and you should not do stupid things like snakes swallowing elephants. ”
Di Xiong said: "Of course I understand the truth of the snake swallowing the elephant, and I also want to grow quietly, but others will not let you go because you are weak, such as the owner of the East Asia Textile Factory, Yokota Ichiro, relying on his wealth, tried his best to suppress us in the textile market, and wanted to put the small profit company to death, so we had to rise up and fight." Only by provoking a conflict between the two major gangs in the capital and letting them lose both sides can we survive in the cracks. ”
Lan Jinping frowned and said: "Being targeted by Yokota Ichiro is indeed a headache, even President Yuan is afraid of the Japanese." Even if you were forced to attack, you could have played beautifully, but you made three major mistakes that led to the failure of your plan. First, attack more with less, the opponent has more than 50 gunners to stick to the compound of the high house, and there are three machine guns, you only want to attack with more than 20 gunners, the success is too small; Second, the intelligence collection is not detailed, the headquarters of the Blue Dragon Club is only 300 meters away from the back gate of Zhang's mansion, you don't know, choose the back door as the main direction of attack, Zhang Ade is the grace of the Blue Dragon Society, Zhang's mansion is in danger, it is impossible for them not to save it, and they almost wrapped you dumplings; Third, as the boss of the gang, you actually lure the enemy yourself, too recklessly, although you have sacrificed your life for righteousness, but you don't know that if you have an accident, the West River will be destroyed. ”
Di Xiong perked up when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "In Sister Lan's opinion, how to deal with Zhang Ade?" ”
Lan Jinping said: "It is impossible for Zhang Ade to stay at home all the time, if he is attacked and killed outside, there will be chaos in the house, and it will be much easier to take advantage of the situation at that time to take advantage of his wealth." Today's failure is a painful lesson for you, but it is not necessarily a bad thing, and you will be smarter in the future. ”
Di Xiong said excitedly: "Since the establishment of the Xihe Society, I have tried my best to find it, but I have not been able to find a suitable military advisor, and now it seems that there is already a military advisor, that is, Sister Lan." None of my subordinates could have said that analysis. ”
Lan Jinping smiled and said: "Brother Di has won the award, I am just a woman, how can I be a military advisor?" ”
Di Xiong said: "Women are also stronger than men, in ancient times there were Hua Mulan and Tang Sai'er, and in modern times there were Wang Cong'er and Qiu Jin. If the West River Club wants to become strong, it needs the help of excellent talents like you. ”
Lan Jinping said: "Brother Di Bo Gu Tong Jin, the ancient female generals are like a number of treasures, no discrimination against women, I feel very gratified, no wonder Xiu Ling always praises you as long as she mentions you, Xiu Ling can meet you, it is her luck." Didn't you just wonder why I didn't live in Lu Mansion? Because General Lu's second wife didn't give me down, saying that I was a rampant prostitute and a vixen, she and several other aunts and wives joined forces to frame me and insult me, and General Lu was very embarrassed in the middle, so he bought me another small house and asked me to move out. My name is my aunt now, but I'm just his concubine. General Lu has always been mean and unkind, but now when he is favored, he is very beautiful, he has no worries about food and clothing, and he can also provide for his sister to study, and once he falls out of favor in the future, he is likely to be kicked out of the house and live on the streets. When the time comes, I will go to Brother Di, and I hope to be able to enjoy a bite of food. ”
Di Xiong said: "Today your sisters have a life-saving grace for me, as the saying goes, the grace of a drop of water should be repaid by the spring." In the future, whatever trouble you encounter, I will do my best to help. ”
Lan Jinping smiled: "Speaking of trouble, my sister has a trouble now, I want to ask you for help, you won't refuse." ”
Di Xiong said: "Sister Lan has any orders, just say it." ”
Lan Jinping said: "When my sister Jinchun was studying in a girls' middle school, she was favored by three men, and they all offered to take her as a concubine, and Jinchun didn't like these three people, one was Dong Huailiang, the personnel director of the police headquarters; One is Duan Hongjia, the nephew of Army Chief Duan Qirui; The other is Feng Tianneng, the righteous son of Feng Guozhang, commander-in-chief of the garrison. Can you solve this trouble? ”
Di Xiong said: "Sister Lan means that I assassinate them?" ”
Lan Jinping said: "That's not necessary, it's just that I want to reject them, and I lack a reason." Director Dong is okay, with General Lu's face, he can be easily dismissed. But the two Beiyang bigwigs behind Duan Hongjia and Feng Tianneng can't afford to offend General Lu. If you are engaged to Jinchun, I can refuse them with dignity. Of course, the marriage contract I said was fake, just a shield to protect Jinchun. ”
Lan Jinchun blushed and lowered her head, but when she heard that it was fake, she raised her head in disappointment.
Di Xiong said: "I'm sorry, I already have a girlfriend, I have to ask Bai Xiuling's opinion before I can reply to you." Why did Sister Lan choose me to do such a thing? Just find a man, isn't it acting? ”
Lan Jinping said: "Can you find someone to scare Duan Hongjia and Feng Tianneng at random?" You are a gang leader, and although the two of them have a big background, they are not a last resort, and they don't want to get entangled with people in the underworld. You're the only decent guy I've ever known, and the other gang leaders are notorious guys, and I'm afraid to look for them. ”
Di Xiong said: "Okay! As long as Bai Xiuling doesn't object, I can help you with this. ”
Di Xiong noticed that there was a pair of Go boxes on the table, so he smiled and said, "Sister Lan can also play Go?" Sure enough, it's versatile. ”
Lan Jinping said: "I just know a little about the skin, after Yuan Shikai became president, the Beiyang system was divided into more than a dozen factions, the most powerful of which is Duan Qirui's Anhui faction, Duan Qirui likes to play Go, and the officials under him have learned Go, General Lu used to be from the Anhui department, so he naturally knows how to play Go, I learned it from General Lu." ”
Di Xiong said: "Can you ask Sister Lan for a plate?" ”
So the two set up the chessboard, after pushing and conceding, Di Xiong took the lead in black, and when he went down to the middle game, Lan Jinchun saw his sister frowning, sweating on the tip of his nose, obviously in difficulty, Di Xiong was silent, she thought that her sister was going to lose, but it turned out that her sister won, although she only won half a child.
Lan Jinping said with a smile: "I should have lost this game of chess, you made a mistake in the end and I ate a piece of chess, you won't let me do it on purpose, right?" ”
Di Xiong smiled: "How could you deliberately let you? It's true that chess stinks. ”
