Respectfully

Chapter 178

On August 21, Mrs. Lou and her party arrived in Guanbei.

This time the second aunt stayed in the capital, and the fourth aunt and fifth aunt walked with Mrs. Lou.The fifth concubine went to see Miss Lou Liu, and the fourth concubine went to Rehe to visit Miss Lou Fifth via Guanbei.Last month, Miss Lou Wu sent a message to the fourth concubine, saying that the uncle seemed to have someone outside, not the concubine, but another wife.

The fourth aunt's face immediately changed. Anyway, if Dai Jiansheng really dared to do this, he would slap the Lou family in the face!

Miss Lou Wu's temper can be said to be comparable to that of Miss Lou No. [-], not even Lou Six.During the years of marrying into the Dai family, she has been filial to her in-laws, respected her husband, and loved her children. No one in the Dai family has praised her.Dai Jiansheng didn't see any girls around him, let alone a concubine.I didn't expect that after many years of husband and wife, such a thing would happen.

The fourth concubine is a strong person, but after receiving Miss Lou Wu's letter, she cried like a tearful person in front of Mrs. Lou, "Ma'am, if the uncle really wants to take a concubine into the house, Miss Yi Wu's temper is not good." Will forcefully stop him, so unclear, what kind of two-headed talk is coming out outside, where will the fifth girl's face be put? Isn't it a loss of face for the Lou family?"

After hearing the fourth aunt's cry, Mrs. Lou's complexion was not very good, but she didn't believe that Dai Jiansheng would do such a foolish thing, otherwise Dai Guorao would not be the first to spare him!

Dai Guorao, the governor of Rehe, and Dai Xiaozhong, the commander of the [-]th division of his brother, both started their careers with President Lou Da.

Would Dai Guorao stand by such a loss of face to Lou's family?

But there is nothing wrong with it, and Lou Wu will not talk nonsense about such things. Mrs. Lou can only appease the fourth concubine, take her back to Guanbei, and then ask the girl next to her to go to Rehe with her. , Find out what's going on.

It would be good to prove that it was a misunderstanding, but if it really happened... Mrs. Lou put down the teacup, then the matter will not be good.

The veteran's heart can't be cold. Dai Guorao also made great contributions when he dealt with the Ninth Division's matter, but one yard is worth one yard. We can't just let the girls of the Lou family be wronged and no one will give their heads!

Li Jinyan didn't know anything about Lou Wu. In fact, if Lou Wu didn't write this letter, the news wouldn't have spread to Rehe at all.If Dai Jiansheng hadn't gone too far, she wouldn't have brought the matter to Mrs. Lou. It's true that the couple was married for a night, but she is a girl from the Lou family, so there is no reason for her to be slapped in the face like this!

As for the father-in-law and mother-in-law, even though Lou Wu grew up with the fourth aunt, he did not miss what he should learn.She knew better than anyone else that no matter how good a daughter-in-law was, she was also the closest to her son.In the end, I'm afraid that woman outside will still get her wish.If she really made these two happy, her surname would not be Lou!

The special train that Mrs. Lou and her party took arrived in the afternoon. Unfortunately, it was just in time for the rain, and the bean-sized raindrops fell on the ground, splashing pieces of water.

"mother."

Li Jinyan personally came forward with an umbrella. Seeing the hem of Li Jinyan's gown soaked by the rain, Mrs. Lou frowned: "You child, why don't you wait in the car? What should I do if I catch a cold from the heavy rain?"

"It's okay, the rain comes and goes quickly." Li Jinyan said with a smile: "It's also cool."

"Still cool!"

After getting in the car, Mrs. Lou pinched Li Jinyan's face.

Li Jinyan didn't dare to hide, so he could only grin bitterly. In fact, Mrs. Lou's hand was very light and didn't hurt, but he was thin-skinned, and he still blushed a bit after pinching.

"Brother Yan." Lou Er Shao, who had been silent since getting off the train, suddenly called Li Jinyan, "Brother Yan, hug me!"

"Rui'er still remember Brother Yan?" Li Jinyan hugged Lou Ershao from Mrs. Lou's arms. The last time we met was a few months ago. Unexpectedly, this little leopard still remembered him. On the forehead of the second young master, "Do you want to talk about brother?"

"Think." The second young master Lou, with big eyes like black grapes, stretched out two arms like lotus joints to wrap around Li Jinyan's neck, and put his face directly, "Brother Xiangyan."

Li Jinyan was immediately happy. Who wouldn't like such a fat, soft and cute creature in his arms?

Mrs. Lou was amused, "I don't know who this kid is following. By the way, where is Xiao'er? Before I came, I heard from the President that he is not in Guanbei?"

"En." Li Jinyan supported Lou Er Shao's back, "Young Marshal is in Khabarovsk."

"Berry?"

"In the treaty signed with the Russians before, a lot of land allocated to us is still in the hands of the Russians. If we don't get it back as soon as possible, I'm afraid the old man will renege on his debt."

"Oh." Mrs. Lou nodded. After she knew what was going on, she didn't ask again. Instead, she mentioned the Fun Tan Bao and Guanbei Film Company to Li Jinyan.

When the car arrived in front of the Marshal's Mansion, the rain had stopped. When I got out of the car, a damp but refreshing breath came over my face after the rain.

Li Jinyan put Lou Er Shao down, let him grab the hem of his clothes, and led him along the Qingshi Road, deliberately slowing down his pace so that Lou Er Shao could easily follow.

Mrs. Lou walked aside, the smile on her face never disappeared from the beginning to the end, Fifth Aunt said jokingly: "Madam, this is really like a real brother."

"Aren't they just brothers?" Mrs. Lou said with a smile: "When Rui'er grows up, I will send him to Guanbei, so that they can get close as brothers."

"That's what the lady said."

As soon as the group entered the living room, they were startled by a half-sized leopard lying on the sofa.

The faces of the fifth aunt and the girl turned pale. Mrs. Lou turned her head and glanced at Li Jinyan, but the second young master Lou was full of curiosity. If Li Jinyan hadn't held him back, he might have jumped on him.

"This leopard was caught by the young commander." Li Jinyan motioned to pick up the second young master Lou, "It has been in the back garden all this time, I don't know why it suddenly ran out."

Even though Lou Er Shao in his arms stretched his neck out of curiosity, Li Jinyan still didn't dare to let him get too close, and only watched from a distance.Even if it was raised from a young age and looks harmless, it is still a leopard.

Before the leopard was taken away, he walked up to Li Jinyan and rubbed him against him. Li Jinyan hurriedly lifted Lou Er Shao up, jokingly, if he hadn't moved fast enough, the chubby paw would have caught the leopard's ear.

The person who took care of the back garden had cold sweat on his forehead, why did he let this ancestor run out?He clearly remembered that the cage was closed well... Be sure to check it carefully!

After a false alarm, the girl went to pack the luggage, and the butler asked for hot tea and snacks. The mother and the others talked for a while, and Mrs. Lou and Fifth Aunt went back to their room to rest. Sticking to Li Jinyan, Mrs. Lou simply asked Li Jinyan to look at him, "If you are tired, find something for him to play with. This kid likes to play Jiulianhuan the most."

"I see, mother."

When Mrs. Lou turned around and went upstairs, Li Jinyan picked up Second Young Master Lou and went back to his room.

After receiving the telegram from Mrs. Lou, he knew that Second Young Master Lou would come with him. Building blocks, checkers, and toys made in the shape of soldiers from the six northern provinces were all prepared in advance.

Li Jinyan never forgot what the second lady said in the theater. Anyway, he likes this fat baby very much. If one day he will really let him raise him... then let's raise it, as a son.

Thin blankets have been laid on the mahogany floor, building blocks of various colors and shapes, and wooden dolls are placed on them. I know that children like to stuff things in their mouths. These toys have been carefully screened, and those that are easy to "enter" , are not allowed to appear in front of Lou Er Shao.

Sure enough, upon seeing this, Second Young Master Lou couldn't move his eyes away. As soon as he was put down, he ran towards the miniature soldiers carrying guns in a few steps, and he wouldn't let go after grabbing them. Li Jinyan couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Marshal Lou is his own brother, and this little leopard will definitely be a decisive master when he grows up.

That night, Lou Er Shao was tired from playing and slept in Li Jinyan's room, but Lou Er Shao didn't sleep well, and Li San Shao was worried that if he rolled over, he would be crushed on him, so he didn't sleep well all night.After waking up the next day, I yawned so much that I was short of two panda eyes and went to be with the family in the backyard.

In the next few days, the Second Young Master Lou kept clinging to Li Jinyan, and Mrs. Lou finally got some leisure, so she went to the theater to drink tea and listen to the play, and watched two movies by the way.When he became interested, he took the second lady from the beginning to the end of several famous commercial streets in Guanbei, and bought a lot of things. When they finally stopped, they followed their servants, girl, and several soldiers. Full of stuff.

"This is really..." Mrs. Lou didn't expect that she would buy so many things, especially in a shop specializing in gouache, rouge and cosmetics. It cost 30 yuan to change hands. As a result, all the boxes were printed Bearing the brand of Lou's Jiahua Factory.

How many years have passed, and it is rare to have such a time.

Mrs. Lou sat in the car, picked up a tube of exquisite lipstick, unscrewed it, and there was a faint floral fragrance.Looking at the passing scenery outside the car window, I suddenly remembered the comment that the Taoist priest in Qingfeng Temple gave Lou Xiao a few years ago.

The four pillars of the noble son belong to fire... If you are a general, you will hold the tiger talisman, and if you are an official, you will hold the seal.If you get to meet a noble person, you will ascend to the sky as a dragon and become the supreme position.

When meeting noble people, is it supreme?

Mrs. Lou lowered her eyes and smiled slowly. No matter what the supreme position is, the Lou family actually met this noble person.

"lady?"

"It's okay, let's go home."

"Yes."

Mrs. Lou returned to Beijing at the end of August. During this time, Marshal Lou had only contacted him by telegram. He also told Li Jinyan in the telegram that he would not return to Guanbei in the short term.

The army of the six northern provinces has locked the next offensive target, not Siberia, but Sakhalin Island, which is called Sakhalin Island by the Russians.The Hailanpao Treaty clearly states that Sakhalin Island will return to China, but the Russian troops stationed in the northern part of Sakhalin Island show no sign of withdrawing, and there are still many Japanese in the southern part of the island.

If the Chinese army does not move, the Russians and Japan will continue to actually occupy the island. Once the Chinese do it, Japan will have to dispatch the fleet even if it squeezes out military expenses from its teeth. Across the strait, it is too close to the Japanese mainland.

In order to completely recapture Sakhalin Island, the Chinese army must not only drive out the Russians, but also the Japanese.

After the signing of the Hailanpao Treaty, the Japanese who learned the content of the treaty even suspected that the surrender of Sakhalin Island in such a "happy" way was the Russians' strategy of "borrowing swords to kill people"?No matter what the Russians are thinking, the Japanese have no choice. If they want to keep their territory on Sakhalin Island, they have to fight the Chinese army.

The Japanese were indeed beaten up by Lou Xiao. They admitted that the army in the six northern provinces was strong, but it was also true that China's navy was short-legged.The Japanese on the island can only hope that the powerful Japanese navy can sink them all in the sea before the Chinese army crosses the Tartar Strait.

Even if this is probably just a luxury.

It is not only Sakhalin Island that makes the Japanese worry, but also North Korea.

Ever since China's tentacles entered North Korea and the Third Division of the Six Northern Provinces was stationed in Sinuiju, North Korea, the chaos in North Korea has never stopped.

Not to mention raising the banner of the North Korean National Salvation Army, gathering nearly 8000 people, and attacking Pyongyang twice in three days, Lee Dong-do and others, even the North Korean king Lee Hee, who was under house arrest, bounced around every now and then, and had a good time.Li Xi sent a handwritten "blood letter" to the Huaxia army, earnestly requesting that the Huaxia army can help North Korea drive out the shameful invaders. With this thing, even if the six northern provinces directly occupy the entire territory of North Korea, it is morally wrong. Can stand firm.

Due to the situation, Si Nei Zhengyi, the governor of North Korea, was so out of breath that he couldn't kill him, at least not yet.Once Li Xi died, it gave the Huaxia Army and the North Korean National Salvation Army the best excuse to attack the Japanese army.

Zhao Yue, the commander of the [-]rd division, once asked Marshal Lou specifically about this, but Marshal Lou replied, "North Korea has its own army."

In a word, Mr. Zhao understood that the young marshal meant to let the North Koreans go and strangle the Japanese by themselves, as much as they strangled.

Li Dongdao was a little disappointed to learn that the Huaxia Army would not send troops directly, but Jin Zhengxian, who was the battalion commander in the National Salvation Army, was relieved.The so-called asking God is easy to send God away, if the Japanese are driven away with the help of the Chinese people, who can guarantee that the Chinese people will not do the same thing as the Japanese?

With the increasing contact with Chinese people, Kim Jong-sun became more and more wary of Chinese people, and sometimes even surpassed Japan.He once raised his concerns at a meeting within the National Salvation Army, but most people thought he was worrying unfoundedly.Before the Japanese drove them away, they started to suspect the Chinese!So what if his fears come true?At that time, they can turn to Western countries for help. The situation will not be worse than it is now, right?

"This is simply too ridiculous!"

Jin Zhengxian was unable to convince them, and at the same time caused Li Dongdao's dissatisfaction.In Li Dongdao's eyes, Kim Jong-sun's move was undoubtedly challenging his status. After all, Li Dongdao relied on the power of the Chinese people to pull up the team of the National Salvation Army and firmly grasped the entire team.

Being rejected by the Huaxia people means that he has no backstage. How could he not be more vigilant?If Li Dongdao and others were really dedicated to saving the country as they said in their mouths, how could they turn to the Japanese and the Chinese successively?North Korea is not a person who does not have one heart for the country, but unfortunately Li Dongdao is not, and neither are most of his people.

Therefore, Jin Zhengxian, who was supposed to be promoted to the head of the regiment, has been staying in the position of battalion commander. As long as the leader of the National Salvation Army is Li Dongdao, he will never have a bright future, and there is a great possibility that in the next He died heroically in a certain battle.As for whether the bullet will hit from the front or fly out from the rear, it is not known.

Zhao Yue was well aware of what happened inside the North Korean National Salvation Army, but he did not take any action. When asked by the staff officer, Commander Zhao sneered: "This Kim Jong-sun is also a character. With such a person, Li Dongdao will Will be obedient."

Indeed, if the North Korean National Salvation Army were really twisted together, Li Dongdao would not be as "obedient" as he is now.

Guanbei

The black car was parked in front of a European-style building outside Guanbei City. It was not the first time for Li Jinyan to come, but every time he would look at the two-story building in the yard and be distracted.Who would have thought that such a place would be the headquarters of the Guanbei Intelligence Bureau.

"Master Yan."

Xiao Youde and Leopard came up one after the other, Li Jinyan didn't come by himself, and Uncle Mute followed behind him.

Go down the stairs and go underground along the long corridor, with cells next to each other on both sides. Through the transom on the door, you can see the scene in the cell.

Both Markov and Zhao Kangfeng were imprisoned here.

"Have you spoken yet?"

"No." Xiao Youde said: "All methods have been exhausted, he only insisted on one sentence, he wanted to see Young Master Yan."

"is it?"

After Li Jinyan heard this, he didn't nod or shake his head, he just turned his gaze to the leopard, which made Xiao Youde's expression change a little, it was just a flash of emotion, but was seen by the dumb uncle.

"It's tough." Leopard said, "But they used ordinary means. Young Master Yan told him to save his life for the time being, so he can't be fooled. The medicines of Mr. Qiao and Mr. Ding are useless."

"kindness."

This time, Li Jinyan nodded, "Go and have a look."

"Yes, Young Master Yan is going this way."

The leopard took a step back and gave up the leading position to Xiao Youde.Regardless of whether Young Master Yan wanted to flatter him or not, Xiao Youde is still his immediate boss, so he still needs to give some face.

Zhao Kangfeng was hung in an interrogation room. Various instruments of torture were hung on the surrounding walls and wooden frames. Just looking at them would make ordinary people terrified.It can be seen that the ordinary means in Leopard's mouth are not something ordinary people can sustain.

Except for one face, Zhao Kangfeng has no good flesh in his whole body.Hearing the sound, he raised his head in slow motion and grinned when he saw Li Jinyan appearing by the door.

"Third Young Master, are you safe?"

"TOEFL." Li Jinyan glanced at Zhao Kangfeng, who looked like a blood gourd, and clicked his tongue, "Mr. Zhao wants to see me? I'm here, what can I say?"

Zhao Kangfeng laughed again, Li Jinyan frowned, seemingly impatient.Leopard took two quick steps forward and punched Zhao Kangfeng in the side.

"Don't play tricks in front of Master Yan!" Leopard grabbed Zhao Kangfeng's hair, "I can tell what kind of person you are at a glance! It's just that you don't do anything in human skin, if it's not for me After making arrangements in advance, are you planning to go to Lao Maozi's territory? You are really good enough, and the whole family can throw it away if they want?"

Leopard's words did not change Zhao Kangfeng's face, but Li Jinyan's next sentence changed his expression: "Mr. Zhao, do you want to die quickly?"

"No!" Zhao Kangfeng was grabbed by the leopard's hair, but he tried his best to meet Li Jinyan's eyes, "I don't want to die!"

"Don't want to die?" Li Jinyan raised the corner of his mouth, "Why don't you want to die?"

"I can be San Shao's dog!"

Zhao Kangfeng's words made Li Jinyan stunned for a moment.

"I'm not a thing, I know it. But I don't want to die, San Shao spares my life, I'm San Shao's dog! Whoever makes San Shao unhappy, I'll bite to death!"

Li Jinyan didn't speak, but Uncle Dumb pulled Li Jinyan lightly, judging from his mouth shape, he was saying to Li Jinyan: "Leave it to me."

Lee House

Li Jinhua was sitting in the boudoir before she got married, and Mrs. Bai was sitting beside her. She wanted to bring up the topic several times, but was distracted by Li Jinhua's few words.

"Auntie, you don't need to say any more." Li Jinhua picked up two bundles of embroidery thread and carefully compared the colors, "I chose the person, and I can't blame anyone. And..."

"what?"

"It's nothing." Li Jinhua lowered her eyes. She remembered that when the man was taken away, he clearly said to her, wait for me.

Unraveling a strand of embroidery thread, the plum blossom pattern on the embroidered cloth is only halfway embroidered.
