After Lianzhou left the living room, Zhaoshi picked up the newspaper again and read the report carefully.While watching, the phone in the living room rang. Zhaoshi picked up the receiver. The buzzing sound was very unclear. He muttered for a while, and wanted to ask someone from the telephone company to check the line, but he heard a voice over there. Ask: "Excuse me, is Shen Zhaoshi here?" Even though the person on the other end of the phone deliberately changed his voice, Zhaoshi guessed it right away. He covered the receiver and looked around. There was no one else in the living room, only Sang Zhi and Sujuan were working back and forth, and he immediately frowned and asked, "What's the matter, tell me quickly." Guofeng smiled softly on the other side: "At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ruby Cafe , I invite you to drink coffee."

Zhaoshi was worried about attracting attention, so he didn't wear a military uniform, and he didn't call his family's car.Instead, he changed into a long gown and hat, asked the concierge to hire a rickshaw and went out.As soon as he sat down, Li Guofeng came in, sat in front of him and smiled, "Isn't it a little strange that two big men are sitting here drinking coffee?" Zhaoshi nodded, and Guofeng made a decisive decision: "Then let's listen to Pingtan in a teahouse. .”

In the teahouse, Yao Yinmei, who was very popular for a while, was singing the new book "Jade Lianhuan". Suffering and sorrow, let’s put the new words into wine.” Guofeng smiled after hearing this, picked up the teacup on the table, and said, “Substitute tea for wine, first of all I wish you a happy wedding!” Zhao Shi gave him a look: “Sour words and fake vinegar, Say something quickly."

Guofeng smiled and said, "Didn't Instructor Cheng tell you anything? You let me say it first." Zhaoshi asked anxiously, "I ask you, where is Xiaozhen, did you come to Shanghai together?" Guofeng picked up a peanut on the table Throwing it into his mouth: "You are married, worry about what Xiaozhen is doing, ah!" Zhaoshi blushed, and impatiently snatched the dried fruit plate on the table: "Can you be a little serious. I'll ask you again, you come What are you doing in Shanghai, did you do the case in the newspaper?" Guofeng finished chewing the peanuts in his mouth, and said to the guy who brought the snacks: "Cut a plate of fruit." The guy nodded: "Okay sir." After speaking, Guofeng looked at Guofeng, and Guofeng looked at Zhaoshi. Zhaoshi had no choice but took out two yuan from his pocket and threw it to the clerk: "Change another pot of good tea." Guofeng narrowed his eyes and said, "This is a little bit of training everywhere It looks so good." Zhaoshi frowned and asked, "Will you tell me, or if you don't, I'm leaving."

Then Guofeng became more serious: "Hey, hey, old classmates meet, your boss is so serious, why are you so serious. I went back to work in Shanghai, and Xiaozhen came back." "Work? What job?" Guofeng gave him a look." What kind of work can you do, underground work?" Zhaoshi patted the table, and the teacup on the table jumped up, if the people at the next table were not looking at him, he would have almost grabbed Guofeng by the collar and questioned him. Without lowering his voice, he asked: "Do you know that Xiaozhen acted in a movie in Shanghai? Can she work underground when she returns here? What if she is discovered?"

Guofeng put his head closer: "There is no other way. Let me tell you the truth, our Shanghai organization was betrayed by traitors, a large number of comrades were arrested, and the entire organization was paralyzed. Xiaozhen lived in Shanghai and is familiar with this place. , and can speak Shanghainese, which is relatively easy to cover up, but the identity of a movie actor is a bit troublesome, so try not to let her show up in public. Fortunately, it has been a few years, and many people have forgotten it." Zhaoshi looked at Guofeng : "So, that case was done by you." Guofeng pulled out a cigarette and lit it, "I didn't want to engage in such a thing when I first came to Shanghai. But I heard that Nanjing is going to get that person away. I don't know if it is true." What new information has been obtained over there, if we dig deeper, we may have greater losses, so we made this decision." Zhaoshi snatched the cigarette from Guofeng's hand, and smothered it on the table : "Shooting guns in the street, what kind of place do you think Shanghai is? It's not like guerrilla warfare in the woods of Jiangxi, just shooting casually."

Guofeng ran out of cigarettes, so he had to grab the fruit on the table to eat: "Nonsense, if I can use a dagger, who would like to shoot. This person is going to Nanjing, and the people from the Songhu Security Command are watching very closely. Speaking of getting close to this person, there is no chance to get close to his residence. Fortunately, the roads in Shanghai's alleys are narrow and crowded. If someone gets married, there will be more people watching the excitement. The sedan chair will pick up his car and bodyguards This is the chance to attack." Zhaoshi took a sip of tea: "Well, no one on the passerby would have thought that the pistol stretched out by the bride in the sedan chair, amidst the sound of firecrackers, killed the onlookers on the side of the road .” After he finished speaking, he was shocked: “Did Xiaozhen fire that shot?” Guofeng didn’t speak, but lowered his head and drank his own tea.

In the silence between the two, the stage was singing affectionately: "The smiling face is like pear blossoms, and the delicate voice is like the cry of emerald eagles. The pretty cherry wants to smile with charm, and the handsome autumn wave is as hopeful as it is."

After a while, Zhaoshi said: "I'm not the police chief, and you didn't come to me to describe the case. What's the matter?" Guofeng said at this time: "I really need your help." Zhaoshi thought, I'm really being rude to my friends, I'm afraid I, Shen Zhaoshi, won't be accused of collaborating with the enemy.Guofeng went on to say: "It's my personal request. When I came out of Jiangxi, I was followed for a while, and then I was shot and shot in the chest. Fortunately, I didn't hurt my heart, but my lungs." I was injured, and I have some symptoms of hemoptysis recently. I can't go to the hospital, and I can't let people see my gunshot wounds. I can only ask you if there is a doctor who is familiar with and reliable." Zhaoshi is a person who has been on the battlefield. I saw with my own eyes that my comrades were shot and fell in a pool of blood.Even so, Jiang Pu's sacrifice has become his nightmare. He can no longer imagine the fact that Guofeng was shot and fell to the ground. Didn't he die fast enough?" Guofeng smiled mischievously, as if he was too tired to stand guard when he was in the military academy, so he woke up Zhaoshi in advance to stand guard.Zhaoshi sighed and said, "I have a German doctor I know well at home. The clinic is in the French Concession, which is relatively safe. I will write a letter and you take it with you. Nothing will happen. Besides, don't let Xiaozhen go with you." They know each other." After talking, Guofeng felt more and more sallow because of coughing up blood, "I have something to say, I know you don't want to hear it, but I'll tell you. Let's have a classmate, Even Cheng Nan was moved with compassion when he saw you, can you tell me why it is necessary?" Guofeng sneered: "You should ask our principal Jiang about this question, why is this necessary."

"Cheng Nan asked me to persuade you. In the past, your family's conditions were not good. After entering the military academy, at least you have a family background. Why do you have to make such an enmity and make your relatives and friends worry about it?" After finishing a sentence, Guofeng laughed: "Zhaoshi, let me ask you, you lived in a garden mansion, what did you go to Huangpu for? You carried your own head on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition, did you ever think that if you sacrificed, your family members would die?" What about relatives and property?" Zhaoshi was stopped by the question.Guofeng said: "You didn't think about it that much at the time, and you didn't care about it. Why? Because what you thought about in your mind was to overthrow the warlords, save the people from fire and water, and strengthen the country and the army from foreign enemies. A long career is more important. You, Shen Zhaoshi, understand this truth, and I, Li Guofeng, also understand it. Yes, I was born in a poor boy, and it is not embarrassing for my family to be poor. This is the more painful and embarrassing thing for a poor boy like me who has no background. You can ask those high-ranking officials in the Nanjing government and our principal, do they care about this matter?"

Zhaoshi couldn't say anything more, he couldn't persuade Guofeng.Compared with Guofeng, he is a sparrow hiding under the eaves, how can he have the face to comment on a lofty swan.

On the stage, they were reunited separately, and the champion who rushed to the exam was all happy and harmonious.Zhaoshi had no choice but to say: "Everyone has his own aspirations, take good care of your health." Then he thought for a while and said: "If you have something to ask me, just bring a letter to Shen's mansion during the holiday. If I am in Hangzhou, send a telegram." Said, brother is seriously ill, return quickly. I know it is you." After speaking, he stood up and wanted to leave, and added: "I can't help much else. After all, I am still in the army, so it is not convenient. If the economy If you have any difficulties, you might as well speak up."

Guofeng nodded: "Don't worry, brother knows your situation and won't make things difficult for you."

At the entrance of the teahouse, the two were about to say goodbye, but Zhaoshi suddenly said, "Help me take care of Xiaozhen, and please take good care of her." Guofeng smiled slyly: "Don't worry, she is already my wife."
