Respectfully

Chapter 180

Li Jinhua's expression was very calm. After learning of Zhao Kangfeng's real identity, her expression did not change much. She just held the handkerchief lightly and sat upright, with the wide sleeves of the coat on the front. Spread out on the side, like a butterfly knocked down by the rain.

"Cousin," she finally said, "he's not going to live, is he?"

Looking at Li Jinhua like this, Li Jinyan couldn't bear it, but both generations of the Zhao family worked for the Russians, no matter what the reason was, it was not a reason to let them go.Otherwise, how should the souls who died because of them rest in peace?

"Jin Hua, I don't want to lie to you. With what he's done, even if I don't kill him, the young marshal and the president won't let him go if they find out."

Li Jinhua responded softly, and slowly stroked his abdomen with his right hand, "Cousin, I fainted the day before yesterday, and the family invited a doctor..."

Hearing Li Jinhua's words, Li Jinyan frowned.

"The Zhao family has been passed down for several generations. He has no uncles or brothers. The only old father is also sick in bed now." Li Jinhua raised his head slowly, looked at Li Jinyan, and finally a wave flashed in his eyes.

Li Jinyan couldn't figure out what Li Jinhua meant. She wanted to intercede for Zhao Kangfeng?

"Cousin, I don't want to plead for him," Li Jinhua tightened his handkerchief, "He's gone, my child is the only blood of the Zhao family. I just want to see him for the last time."

"Jinhua," Li Jinyan clasped his hands, his voice soft, "No matter what, I can guarantee that you will have no worries about food, clothing and life in the future. You can have a new family, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks."

"Before I came, I went to see the old lady." Li Jinhua smiled, "The old lady said the same thing as my cousin, but I don't want to."

"why?"

"It doesn't matter if you say I'm stubborn or not. The time I married into Zhao's family was the happiest time I've ever lived since I was born." Although Li Jinhua was smiling, there were tears in the corners of his eyes, " It doesn't matter if he lied to me or used me, but I will remember his kindness to me. He did something bad, and I won't plead for him. The only thing I can do is this."

As he said that, Li Jinhua closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the tears in his eyes had disappeared, "I chose this marriage by myself, and I can only bear the consequences."

Li Jinyan wanted to persuade Li Jinhua a few words, but no matter what he said, it seemed weak.Persuade her?How to persuade?The little girl's words and attitude made him feel a little powerless.

"Jin Hua, have you really thought about it?"

"Well, I've thought about it carefully." Li Jinhua nodded and smiled again, "I did this for my children too."

She had already thought about it, and she had thought it through in the old lady's Buddhist hall.

The only remaining bit of luck dissipated after learning of Zhao Kangfeng's true identity. She could not plead for him. What is right and what is wrong.Zhao Kangfeng was kind to her, but everything he did was wrong, very wrong.

She can ignore him lying to her and using her, because he is so kind to her, but what about the others?As my cousin said, if my cousin let him go, the Lou family would not let him go either.

She was a wife, but she was about to be a mother.Her child cannot have such a father.

In the end, Li Jinyan agreed to let Li Jinhua and Zhao Kangfeng meet, and personally took her to Dingshun Tea House.

The location of the headquarters of the Intelligence Bureau outside the city is a secret, and Li Jinhua wanted to see Zhao Kangfeng, so he had no choice but to bring him out.With Uncle Mute present, Li Jinyan is not worried about what might go wrong along the way.

After waiting for less than a cup of tea, Uncle Dumb and two people from the Intelligence Bureau took Zhao Kangfeng up to the second floor.I don't know what method Uncle Dumb used, Zhao Kangfeng's face is still pale, there are still a few bloodstains on his left cheek, but his gait is very calm, it is hard to see that he has been severely tortured before.

"Jin Hua..." Walking into the room, he saw Li Jinyan, but it was Li Jinhua who called out first.

Is it a show on purpose?Still want to win sympathy?Or do you think that Li Jinhua has already opened his mouth to intercede for him?

No one could guess what he was thinking at the moment, just like he couldn't guess what Li Jinhua would say next.

"Husband, I have your flesh and blood." Li Jinhua smiled gently, and when Zhao Kangfeng's face suddenly flashed with surprise, he continued: "For our children, I am willing to do anything, you Woolen cloth?"

Zhao Kangfeng's astonishment and unwillingness, and Li Jinhua's indifference and fragility, all fell into the eyes of onlookers.

After a brief silence, Zhao Kangfeng's voice sounded in the room: "I understand. Jin Hua, take good care of yourself."

After half a cup of tea, Zhao Kangfeng left.

Li Jinhua sat quietly for a while, and did not stand up until the tea in front of him was completely cold, "Cousin, I should go back."

Go back to Li's house, and then back to Zhao's house.

"I send you."

"Thank you cousin."

Li Jinhua smiled again, just like when Zhao Kangfeng took her back to Chahar, rode on a horse vigorously, and told her that he was going to hunt wolves in the grassland for her, his smile was quiet and gentle, like a A portrait of a lady frozen in time and space.

On the way to send Li Jinhua back to Li's house, Li Jinyan suddenly said, "Jinhua, I can send you abroad, just like Jinshu."

"Going abroad?" Li Jinhua shook his head, "Cousin, I am different from my second sister."

"Can……"

"Cousin, I chose the road by myself, so I have to walk by myself." Li Jinhua turned his head, "Back then, the Elder Master forced you to marry into Lou's family. Cousin should be in a hundred times, a thousand times more difficult situation than I am now. Bar?"

"Jin Hua, this is different."

"What's the difference?" Li Jinhua turned his head back, "Actually, they are all the same. The road is walked by people, and life is lived by people. Besides, from now on, the entire Zhao family belongs to our mother and son. Cousin really don’t have to worry that I will have a bad life.”

The car drove to the gate of Li's Mansion, and neither of them spoke again.Li Jinhua got out of the car, and after two steps, he turned around and smiled at Li Jinyan in the car: "Cousin, I will be fine, really."

Li Jinyan watched her back disappear behind the door, and suddenly felt very tired, both physically and mentally.He sighed deeply, "Let's drive."

Two days later, the news of Zhao Kangfeng's sudden illness and death came back to Chahar, along with the news that Li Jinhua was pregnant.Soon, the Zhao family sent people to Guanbei City. At that time, Zhao Kangfeng had already been buried, and all the Zhao family could see was a high-quality camphor wood coffin.

The four sides of the coffin were nailed tightly, and Li Jinhua was crying sadly beside him. Even if the Zhao family thought Zhao Kangfeng's death was strange, no one said anything.Not to mention that it wasn't Zhao Kangfeng who was in the coffin.Before coming to Guanbei, the master who was lying on the hospital bed had spoken, and this time he came to Guanbei, no matter what the young lady said, he would obey.

Li Jinhua went back to Chahar with the Zhao family. There were two girls and four servants around her, and no one from the Zhao family asked.Before leaving, she made a second and last request to Li Jinyan, and Li Jinyan agreed to her.

Four days after Li Jinhua returned to Chahar, Mr. Zhao, who had been sick for many years, also passed away.The father and son of the Zhao family died in Huangquan one after another, and rumors suddenly spread in the old house of the Zhao family that Li Jinhua and the child in her belly were ominous.Li Jinhua, who was originally weak, showed his extraordinary skills at this time. He used these rumors to eliminate a group of people in the Zhao family's old house, many of whom were the Zhao family's father and son's confidantes.They left Zhao's house with their front feet, but they disappeared with their back feet. No one knew where they went.

However, there were rumors that they took advantage of the new funeral of Zhao's father and son and took away a lot of property, which attracted many people's covetousness. Unfortunately, they couldn't even find anyone, let alone money.

After dealing with these matters, Li Jinhua closed the gate of the Zhao family's house, saying that he was filial piety for his father-in-law and husband, and declined all the female relatives' visits.Almost all ties between the Zhao family and the outside world were cut off.

At the same time, the nails of the Zhao family in the six northern provinces were pulled out one by one, and the governor of Chahar Wang Chongren also lost two familiar faces.The Zhao family's relationship network in Mongolia and Russia is also controlled by the Intelligence Bureau of the Six Northern Provinces.

As for the source of all this, Markov is still locked in the underground cell of the Intelligence Bureau. Ding Zhao and Qiao Leshan come to drink tea and chat with him almost every day, and the American who is about to replace him as a well-known spy in Europe is also listening. Jew David.

However, soon his name will be changed to Maximilian Kohl, becoming a true Bavarian.

The matter of Chahar was not completely over yet, and news came from Rehe that Leopard had already found out the identity of Dai Jiansheng's outer room. Li Jinyan was completely unexpected that the Qing royal family had some relationship.

"The news is true?"

"It's true." The man standing in front of Li Jinyan was a tall and thick man, who looked like he was working hard, but in fact, he was one of the best hands in the intelligence bureau of the six northern provinces. Before Leopard was promoted by Li Jinyan, it was him When the subordinates are doing things, they have to call him captain.

Russian?

Li Jinyan thought it over carefully, and decided to send a telegram to the young marshal Lou in Khabarovsk. Dai Jiansheng was fine, but Dai Guorao was a veteran of the Lou family. During the assassination of President Lou Da, he captured the Ninth Division who was trying to turn against him. Teacher Meng Fu made great contributions.In any case, when the matter is found here, Dai Guorao always has a lot to take into account.

The telegram was sent out, but Master Lou didn't reply. Li Jinyan didn't know if something went wrong halfway, or if Master Lou was also in trouble, so he could only order Leopard to keep watching over Rehe.It happened that something went wrong with the charter contract with the British, and a large amount of goods were backlogged at the port. Li Sanshao was so busy that he hit the back of his head with his feet and kept getting angry, his mouth was blistered, and he lost weight lap.

After a tiring day, when he returned to the Marshal's Mansion, Li Jinyan lay down on the bed without even wanting to eat, with one arm resting on his forehead, his eyes closed, and he didn't want to move.

In a daze, he heard the door being pushed open, and a familiar sound of footsteps sounded in the room. It was the sound of military boots hitting the floor.

Did he hallucinate?

But the sound of footsteps did not disappear until someone stopped by the bed.

The warm palm with the gloves off covered his cheeks, Li Jinyan half-opened his eyes, then widened suddenly.

"Young Marshal?!" Isn't Young Marshal Lou supposed to be in Khabarovsk?Didn't they send a telegram a while ago saying they were going to hit Sakhalin...

"En." Lou Xiao sat on the edge of the bed, caressed Li Jinyan's cheek with his big hand, and then squeezed his shoulder, "I lost weight."

The next moment, he was pulled into his arms by Marshal Lou, and his big hands naturally touched his body from left to right, as if confirming that the person in his arms was indeed thinner.

"Young Marshal," Li Jinyan felt a little uncomfortable being touched by Lou Shaoshuai, and grabbed his wrist, "When did you come back?"

"Just arrived."

"Didn't you want to hit Sakhalin Island?"

"Plans changed."

"Did you receive my telegram?"

"En. Leave the matter of Rehe to father," Young Marshal Lou stood up, and pulled Li Jinyan up by the way, "Didn't you eat dinner?"

"that……"

Before Li Jin finished speaking, the rumbling sound of his stomach gave him away.

Marshal Lou didn't even give him a chance to "explain". After pulling him up, a girl brought hot water outside the door. Lou Xiao took off his military cap, twisted a towel and wiped Li Jinyan's face and hands.

"Young commander, I will do it myself."

"Aren't you tired?" Young Marshal Lou ignored him, grabbed Li Jinyan's wrist, and continued to wipe.

The girls in the room were all quite calm, turning a blind eye to the scene in front of them, and doing what they had to do.

Li Jinyan simply closed his eyes, and let it go, he can do whatever he likes.

The hot food was delivered quickly, and a pot of white rice was placed on the table. The rice grains were crystal clear and plump, which was very attractive.

Smelling the aroma of the food, Li Jinyan's stomach started growling again.Only then did he realize that apart from breakfast, he only ate a few pieces of snacks for lunch, so it's no wonder he wasn't hungry.

Yi Gulu got off the bed, first filled a bowl full of rice for Young Marshal Lou, and then filled another bowl for himself, the two of them moved their chopsticks together, the wind swept away, and the plate bottomed out in an instant.

Young Marshal Lou's appetite was the same as usual, but Li Sanshao played super long and ate four bowls of rice in a row.

Put down your chopsticks, wipe your mouth, and look back at this "record". Sure enough, those who are close to red are red, those who are close to ink are black, and those who are close to idiots are idiots?

As a result of the super long play, Li Sanshao decisively gave up.Being dragged by Marshal Lou to the yard for a walk, the maids still kept their eyes on each other, as if the one who was holding Li Jinyan's hand through the corridor in front of them was not the Marshal Lou with a cold face all day long.

"better?"

Young Marshal Lou who was walking in front suddenly stopped, turned his head, and looked over with black eyes, which made Li Jinyan's heart skip a beat.

After looking at a face for three years, you should get used to it, right?Why do you still feel hot?

But such a look is indeed...

Thinking about it, Li Jinyan started to lose his mind again, maybe because he was busy all this time, his body was exhausted to a certain extent, and he was full and sleepy, so Li Jinyan started to fight his eyelids while standing.

Young Marshal Lou looked at him for a while, then leaned over and picked him up, and strode back to the room.

Li Jinyan suddenly woke up, this is outside, even if they are all "insiders", it is really outrageous!

"Young commander, let me down, I will go by myself."

Young Marshal Lou didn't say a word, he carried him and continued to walk forward, striding with long legs, he arrived at the door in the blink of an eye.

Li Sanshao simply lowered his head and acted like an ostrich, as the old saying goes, do as you like!

The body touches the soft bedding, and the eyelids that have been fighting all the time finally can no longer be opened. Li Jinyan can feel the fingers untying his collar, the breath brushing against his ears, and the familiar body temperature surrounding him .

Rubbing unconsciously, the touch is not bad.He yawned and fell into a deep sleep.

That night, Li Jinyan slept soundly. When he woke up, there was no one beside him, but the traces left showed that he was not dreaming last night.

The movement of getting up alarmed the girl outside the door, Li Jinyan washed his face and mouth, and asked, "Where is the young commander?"

"The young commander is in the study."

"Oh." Wiping off the water on his hands, Li Jinyan turned his head and glanced at the chime clock on the wall, it was just after eight o'clock.

After simply having breakfast, he was not in a hurry to go to the factory. He remembered what Mr. Lou said yesterday, and went to the study on the second floor.Just happened to meet Xiao Youde who came out of the study.

"Mr. Xiao?"

"Speak less."

Xiao Youde didn't say much, and he left after saying hello. Li Jinyan looked at his back and always felt that his expression just now seemed a bit wrong?

"Young commander, is this Mr. Xiao?"

"Father sent him to Rehe." Young Marshal Lou signaled Li Jinyan to go over, and looked at him carefully for a while, "He looks better."

"To Jehol?"

"About the Dai family." Young Marshal Lou picked up a document and handed it to Li Jinyan, "Dai Guorao wrote a letter to plead guilty to his father, and it is rumored that someone under his command released it."

"He did it? Why?"

"Save your life."

As Marshal Lou said, the rumor heard by Miss Lou Wu was indeed written by Dai Guorao.

When Dai Guorao knew that his son was related to a spy, he was so angry that he picked up his cane and beat him severely, and even smashed Dai Jiansheng's head.The Dai family was tied to the Lou family's boat, and Dai Jiansheng's move undoubtedly led the Dai family to a dead end.

There is no wall that does not leak in the world, Dai Guorao will not think that he can hide this matter, the only way is to expose this matter, let the Lou family investigate it themselves, and find out clearly what is going on here !

When it comes to the female family members in the back house, even if outsiders know about it, they will only think that Dai Guorao's son has been stunned by women's sex, and he will not involve the matter in the matter of spies. Otherwise, even if President Lou let him go, the officialdom His enemies will also try their best to trample him to death, and his brothers in the army may not be able to help.In the end, maybe you will be dragged down.

If you're lucky, you can save Dai Jiansheng's life, but whether the Dai family's position on the Lou family's big ship can be kept, you can only resign yourself to fate.
