What a beautiful white lotus

Chapter 121

It was already night when Ye Rongqiu woke up.He got up together, just in time for Xiao Zhao to wake him up.

Xiao Zhao also took a nap, now it's time for dinner, Huang Mu prepared a sumptuous meal for them, so he asked Xiao Zhao to quickly wake Ye Rongqiu up for dinner.

Ye Rongqiu changed his clothes and went out with Xiao Zhao.When they arrived at the regiment headquarters, the food had already been put on the table, Huang Mu and the regiment secretary Zhang Qing were waiting for them.

Ye Rongqiu and Xiao Zhao were seated, Huang Mu was in a good mood, got up and poured wine for them himself: "This wine is a gift from the folks, come, drink some, and go back to sleep at night." Ye Rongqiu came back today, Sichuan Army and Japanese Army When the fight started, it was such a good thing that he wanted to get drunk.

Everyone hurriedly got up and drank a round of wine with Huang Mu, and then began to discuss the future while eating vegetables.

Huang Mu talked eloquently, talking about his expectations for the future of the arsenal.This arsenal was not only the painstaking effort of Ye Rongqiu, but also Huang Mu's. Besides Ye Rongqiu, it was Huang Mu who contributed the most to the arsenal.Although he has no skills, he always has a lot of ideas. He proposed ideas, and Ye Rongqiu made a condition, which he met, and then Ye Rongqiu tried to complete his ideas. The two have cooperated very well in the past few years.

As the saying goes, a little farewell is better than a newlywed, Huang Mu and Ye Rongqiu have been separated for a while, and it feels a little bit like this. At the banquet, he can't stop talking, talking about countless prospects, some are reliable, and some are unconstrained.Ye Rongqiu didn't analyze what was feasible and what was not feasible to him one by one like usual, and he just listened today, and then perfunctory, a little absent-minded.

Zhang Qing noticed Ye Rongqiu's distraction, and asked, "Commissioner, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Rongqiu shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm a little tired."

Zhang Qing glared at Huang Mu: "Look at you, the political commissar just came back and didn't sleep enough, you just keep talking so that people can listen to you."

Huang Mu touched his head in embarrassment, stopped talking, and raised his glass: "Blame me, come on, I'll punish myself with a glass of wine."

Ye Rongqiu forced a smile and raised his glass to clink with him.

After eating, Zhang Qing went back first, and Xiao Zhao was also sent away by Huang Mu. Huang Mu walked on the path with his arms around Ye Rongqiu's shoulders, chattering about what was left at the dinner table: "Xiao Ye, you promised me in the morning From now on, I will focus on the matter of the arsenal. I am very happy. Now that the national army and the devils are fighting, our situation will soon improve. If you need anything, just say it, and I will find a way for you."

Ye Rongqiu looked at Huang Mu hesitantly, with guilt in his eyes.

Huang Mu was already a little hot from drinking, and didn't notice Ye Rongqiu's abnormality: "Tell me, why don't you talk. Oh, yes, look at me, it's time for you to go back to rest, and I still pester you. "

Huang Mu withdrew his hand on Ye Rongqiu's shoulder, and was about to say something, but Ye Rongqiu spoke first: "Leader."

"Huh?" Huang Mu raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"Regimental Commander. I will do my best for the matter of the arsenal." Ye Rongqiu mustered up his courage and looked directly into Huang Mu's eyes. "However, I'm afraid I still have to go to Wuchang occasionally."

Huang Mu froze for a moment, then stopped.Suddenly a gust of wind blew up, and it was only when the wind stopped that Huang Mu calmly asked, "Why?"

Ye Rongqiu said: "I will not delay the matter in the arsenal."

Huang Mu was silent for a while: "I know, you also have things you want to do, and it is impossible to spend all your time and energy here. Without you, the arsenal would not be able to develop to the scale it is today. Without you, the conditions of the soldiers might not be as good as they are today. It's more difficult than today. I don't think you haven't done enough, but I'm worried about you. You should know that the situation in the city is much worse than outside the city when you enter Wuchang this time, right? It's only been a few days, we Only a few comrades were killed or injured. Is what you want to do in Wuchang really worth risking your own life?"

Ye Rongqiu didn't say anything, just nodded.

Huang Mu sighed heavily.He has experienced Ye Rongqiu's stubbornness.He said, "Have you made up your mind?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I see, you go back and rest first."

"Thank you, Captain, you should rest early too." Ye Rongqiu saluted Huang Mu, turned and left.

The fight between the Japanese army and the Sichuan army was really different from the small fights in the past. The camp where Ye Rongqiu and the others were located could hear the sound of artillery fire from a distance every day.The soldiers ate with the sound of gunfire, and their appetites were much better than before.

At noon that day, Ye Rongqiu was having lunch with a few soldiers working in the arsenal, when Xiao Zhao suddenly shouted: "It's fighting again!"

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of a shell exploding came from a distance.

Ye Rongqiu smiled and said, "Your ears are really good." Xiao Zhao heard the sound of the cannonball flying, so he knew it was going to start.

Xiao Zhao chuckled and took a big mouthful of food.

Kang Qi said: "Hey, tell me, why did the Japanese devils suddenly open fire on the national army?"

A soldier named Jin Dashuan said: "I know, I know! I have a brother in the [-]th Brigade, and he told me that planning for this matter has been started a long time ago. Our New Fourth Army has formed several teams this year to rob Japanese strongholds. The food and grass, ambushing the stubborn transport team, attacking the enemy camp at night, and running away after hitting, made them have a bad life. There are our people among the stubborn, those who are "white-skinned and red-hearted", go report to the devils , Said that the national army robbed them and prevented them from delivering food to the imperial army!" The white-skinned and red-hearted refers to those people who were in the Japanese and puppet hearts and who were helping the Japanese on the surface, but actually helping the Communists. The party secretly poached the corners of the Japanese puppets.

"Ha!" Kang Qi laughed, "That's really great!"

"Yeah, I heard that there are more than that. Didn't the national army send spies to arrest our underground party? Those 'white-skinned and red-hearted' people captured the national army's spies and gave them to the Japanese. The Japanese devils caught the spies and felt that the national The army planned to overthrow them, and the national army was captured by the devils, and felt that the devils were provoking. The national army didn't want to fight the devils, so we forced them to fight."

"Crack!" The chopsticks in Ye Rongqiu's hand fell to the ground.

Everyone looked at Ye Rongqiu. "Commander, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Rongqiu looked at Jin Dashuan absent-mindedly. After a while, he shook his head, picked up the chopsticks and wiped his body: "No, nothing."

"Hey!" Xiao Zhao yelled, "Political Commissar, didn't we see Shan Sixing arrest a spy of the national army and give it to the devil that day?"

Ye Rongqiu's heart was beating fast, and his mouth was dry: "Ah... ah."

Xiao Zhao thought for a while, clapped his hands vigorously, and said with certainty: "That big traitor must have fallen into our trap! Maybe the secret agent's news was revealed to him by Ru Nan and the others, leading him to catch him. Ru Nan Sister, they are really powerful!"

The few people next to him became excited, and asked in a hurry: "Shan Si Xing? Is that the big traitor Shan Si Xing? Did you see him in the city?" "What does he look like? Is he vicious? What?" "You didn't shoot him?"

Ye Rongqiu put down the bowl and stood up.

Xiao Zhao looked up at him: "What's wrong with you, political commissar?"

Ye Rongqiu shook his head: "It's okay, you guys eat, I'm full, let's go for a walk."

Ye Rongqiu turned and left. Everyone glanced at Ye Rongqiu's half-full job bowl. Kang Qi asked worriedly, "Is the political commissar not feeling well? I think he looks weird."

Xiao Zhao scratched his head in confusion: "The political commissar has not been quite right lately..."
