Chapter 1 The Lost City (Part 5)

Chapter 1 Mystery (Five)

After solving a big problem, He Yaozu was not very comfortable. He walked away several times while driving. Fortunately, the traffic police and drivers in Chongqing were very eye-catching. He knew that even if there was no police car driving in front of the bus, he was definitely not something he could afford, so he returned home smoothly.

His wife Ni Feijun, who is twenty-three years younger than him, is busy working in the kitchen, making the whole house full of rich dishes. It is not that their family cannot afford to hire a chef. Although the world is difficult, the National Government will not owe a salary of a general who holds the power. However, Ni Feijun insists that it is a wife's obligation to give her husband the dishes he cooked by himself. He Yaozu also knows how to appreciate the other party's cooking skills. Therefore, for more than five years of marriage, when He Yaozu has no social engagements that he really cannot be pushed away, he usually goes home to eat supper. The couple feeds the children at the dinner table and talks about family matters. The fatigue of working during the day is wiped out.

But today, He Yaozu obviously had no appetite. After changing his shoes and loose clothes with the help of his servant, he fell on the sofa and covered his face with the newspaper of the day.

The reason why he was worried was not because he felt guilty that he had just destroyed the future of a young military officer with his own hands. In fact, it was difficult for the mood of a person of He Yaozu to be affected by such a small matter. Moreover, He Yaozu had done a good job of being kind enough. He believed that if the Chief of Staff He Yingqin or the Minister of Military Training Bai Chongxi were replaced by him, what they would not have done was to divide Zhang Songling into two. With their style of conduct, it is very likely that he would deliberately arrange a task to die for Heishi Village to carry out, or directly send someone to do it. In this way, he could solve the future problems once and for all.

This is not to say that He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi are cruel than He Yaozu, but that they act more neatly and are more decisive and decisive in their styles. Like He Yaozu, they are both top figures in the army, both elephants in the army, and Zhang Songling is just a small ant. Has anyone ever seen an elephant sad when walking because she stepped on an ant? I'm afraid not. It's already been done with a righteousness when walking. In most cases, they would not bow their heads and take big steps toward the target. There is no kung fu to control whether the ant is black or white, dead or alive.

The reason why He Yaozu was worried was because he was not sure about Chiang Kai-shek's attention to a certain or a few little ants was out of a whim, or he had really had the idea of ​​cherishing talent. If it were the former, no matter how he dealt with those little ants, it would not have any adverse effects on him. If it was the latter, even if Chairman Jiang knew the whole situation and understood his difficulties in doing so, he would probably feel resentful because he gave too many discounts when executing the order. In that case, the mutual trust between the two would be greatly affected, and He Yaozu's transcendent position in the military committee would no longer exist.

Unlike other veterans in the Kuomintang, He Yaozu was almost the only one who had experienced the Xinhai Revolution and the Northern Expedition. His qualifications and contributions were enough to compete with Chiang Kai-shek, but he still maintained a friendship with the latter. Other veterans with the same qualifications and contributions were either completely defeated by Chairman Chiang and became decorations in the National Government, or they continued to fight with the latter openly and secretly, and lived a trembling life almost as if walking on thin ice.

He Yaozu did not like to fight with others, especially without any confidence in victory, and never thought that he would take Chiang Kai-shek to replace him. He did not have any high political ambitions or strong desire for power. He just wanted to do more beneficial things for this country within his ability. The position of General Director of the General Office of the Military Commission is an important reliance for him to realize his wishes. If he was no longer trusted by Chiang Kai-shek and was transferred from the position of Director of the General Office of the Military Commission, he would have to take a dry salary and pass the life with newspapers and tea every day like those veterans who were frustrated in political struggles. He would definitely not be able to bear this fate, and even think about it, he felt chilling.

The temperature in the mountain city in November is a bit low. Because of the rainy weather, even if you wrap yourself in your velvet pajamas, you can still clearly feel the waves of autumn coolness in the air. He Yaozu turned over and tried to use the surface of the sofa that was already hot with body temperature to soothe the lower abdomen that was blown by the cold air. He just adjusted his body to a comfortable position, but felt a soft warm wind on his neck.

"Huh,." Ni Feijun, who is already a mother of two children, still has not changed her little daughter's character. Seeing that her husband was not really asleep, she bulged her mouth and blew a long breath of heat at the other person's neck. It was the most itchy place on He Yaozu. At that time, he immediately got up from the sofa with a wheel. While blocking his wife's mouth with his hands, he asked with a smile: "The food is ready, what about the children, have they eaten?"

"Let Ma Zhang take her to the kitchen to eat, so as not to suffer from the disaster of fish." Ni Feijun smiled and complained, let He Yaozu go, grabbed a bottle of French wine from the dining table, and poured a glass for He Yaozu, "Eat first and then sleep, so as not to get up tomorrow morning and have a stomachache again. This glass is given to you because it is cold. Drink it slowly, be careful to drink it and get anxious."

Looking at the dishes on the table with a full range of colors and flavors, and then looking at my wife's face full of concern. No matter how much trouble she felt in her heart, all of them disappeared at this moment.

"I'm fine, I'm just too busy at work today and haven't taken time to rest, so I just want to lie down for a while after I get home." He Yaozu smiled and deliberately pretended to be relaxed, "You also know that the front line has been tight recently, and I'm looking for someone to ask for guns everywhere. I am not Sun Wuzi, and even if I pull out all my hair, I can't turn out to be a gun for them."

"I think it's about the same." Ni Feijun pursed her lips and joked. However, He Yaozu's face was full of fatigue at the moment. The latter was seen and felt weak in her heart. She smiled and continued to cover up. "It's really okay. When I got home, I saw you busy in the kitchen and saw the children having fun, and I forgot everything."

"Just adjust yourself." Ni Feijun couldn't bear to expose her husband's kind lie, so she looked away and smiled and picked up food for the other party. "Try this. I specially learned Cantonese cuisine from Sister He, and I don't know how similar it was to learn it."

It was a garlic bean seedling. When He Yaozu followed Sun Yat-sen in Guangzhou, he liked to order food in the restaurant. But today, he frowned at the food he once loved, "Sister He, who is Mr. He, are you very idle recently?"

"Of course it's Premier Liao's wife." Ni Feijun gave her husband a surprise glance and responded softly, "Who else can Sister He? Among the people I know who knows how to cook Cantonese cuisine, she is the best in craftsmanship." (Note 1)

The more I was afraid of something, the more I met something. The hair on the back of He Yaozu's neck immediately stood up, glaring at his wife like a frightened dog, and ordered sternly: "Of course I know it's Mrs. Liao. Can you go to her side a few times in the future? Even if you don't think about me, think about this family."
