Golden Scale Club [Republic of China + Jiang Chengyan X Mu Bingci]

The spring of the following year came late, and even in southern cities like Shanghai, March was still cloudy and sunny.The warm spring seems to be unable to return to the earth. The misty rain is covered with damp and cold, and the whole world looks gray, monotonous and dull.

After the accident in Xi'an, Jiang Chengbo returned to Nanjing safely, and the central government was agitated, and several councils wanted to condemn the Tongmenghui.However, at the time of the confrontation in Xi'an, the Japanese Kwantung Army made another move in the Northeast that aroused public outrage across the country, restoring the imperial system that had perished in the Qing Dynasty, and renamed it the Great Manchurian Empire.As a result, the voice of the people became stronger and stronger. Since Jiang Chengbo reached an alliance consensus with the Tongmenghui, it was necessary to strengthen contact and discuss countermeasures for war preparations.

The government is actively preparing for the war, and Jiang Chengyan has more trips to Nanjing, but he still tries to spend as much time as possible in Shanghai.However, Jiang Chengbo became more and more dissatisfied with him, often late at night, he had to call to talk about business matters, and the two often quarreled fiercely over Mu Bingci's arrangement.

Jiang Chengbo said on the phone: "Although we have reached an alliance agreement with the Tongmenghui, according to Sun Bicheng's previous actions, we still have to prevent them from doing what they want. Chengyan, you must order the Hubei [-]th Route Army to keep an eye on the Northwest Army's movements."

Jiang Chengyan was very exhausted after dealing with the affairs of the day, and Jiang Chengbo's rhetoric came and went again and again, Jiang Chengyan's best patience was worn out.

"Brother, the Beiping Frontier Army is looking at the Northwest Army. Why use the [-]th Route Army? In case of a fight with the Japanese army, the Central Army is the most well-equipped and will definitely go to the front line. Since you asked me to be the commander-in-chief of the entire army , Can you still not trust me when it comes to dispatching troops and generals?"

Jiang Chengyan was really annoyed by what he said, and sought a job in his position, but now Jiang Chengbo is increasingly suspicious, wishing to extend his hand to the military headquarters.

Jiang Chengbo disliked Jiang Chengyan's attitude even more. In his opinion, Jiang Chengyan was the master of meritorious service.Jiang Chengbo himself didn't realize that although the national government was not the old monarchy system, he had been in that leadership position for a long time, and he had been gradually saturated by the embarrassment of the high position.

The so-called dangerous building is hundreds of feet, the higher it is, the more dangerous it will be. Even honest and honest people will feel very nervous.Jiang Chengbo was suspicious day after day, seeing that everyone was a person with ulterior motives.At this time, the idea of ​​the master of high merit came out of his mind, and he was no different from the dictator king of the old dynasty.

And the king's family can't even have brotherhood.If it were changed to the past, the two had always had different ideas and disagreements, and Jiang Chengbo would have scolded Jiang Chengyan as the eldest brother.Now that there is a distinction between monarch and minister, Jiang Chengbo's attitude is like the weather in early spring, cloudy or sunny.

"If you want me to believe you, you should show enough evidence to speak. You also know that the most sophisticated equipment is in the Central Army, so why don't you regard the Central Army as the finale trump card, but want to send the Central Army to China as soon as the war starts?" Sending them on the line of fire? Those southern troops have to keep it, what are you going to do? Are you going to return all the military power you got from the Mu family in Huizhou back then?"

Jiang Chengbo suppressed a sentence in his throat, thinking that one day when you take office, the Southern Army will be your vanguard.

Jiang Chengyan didn't know what he meant, and said patiently: "One day when the war starts, the two sides must put in the best troops to fight for a favorable situation. Brother, you are so suspicious of the Southern Army. After all, you are worried about Bingci Now that he is detained by me, I will definitely keep a close eye on him, and never let him touch military and political affairs, does he still have the ability to cause any bad influence to you?"

Jiang Chengbo snorted and said, "Are you afraid that he will harm me, or that I will harm him? Chengyan, you hide him quickly. Can I not see through this trick? Don't you want to think about it?" He was able to do absurd things about disobedience and crime that day, but this time he was pretending. If he is sincere next time, why shouldn't he guard against it? Millions of Southern troops are in his hands, but he acts so willfully, why don't you let people know? fear?"

Seeing him chasing after him, Jiang Chengyan was so angry that he couldn't keep playing the charade, so he asked in a cold voice: "So what if you see it through? Don't tell me that you didn't have the idea of ​​killing him! Big brother forgot the same Mu's alliance, the Mu family sacrificed a lot for it, just because of the change in Lishan, if you want to kill Bingci because of that unreal suspicion, how can you treat Huizhou Mu's? I just won't fight with Bingci With those **** involved, I will never let you attack him."

Once the window paper is broken, the hazy beauty is no longer there, and it is the most naked exposure.Jiang Chengbo became more and more angry when he said the central matter, if Jiang Chengyan was in front of him, he wished he could slap him twice immediately.However, what made Jiang Chengbo even more angry was that he had to be afraid of Jiang Chengyan, because Jiang Chengyan had the power to control the army.

The anger of the splashing sky circulated and clashed between the two through a telephone line, and Jiang Chengbo felt the compelling sense of crisis.Therefore, in ancient times, emperors did not allow a single family to dominate. This is the reason. After all, the shade of the trees is too rich, so it should be covered on the neighbor's roof.

Jiang Chengbo restrained his anger in silence, finally swallowed the embarrassment of vomiting blood, calmed down and said: "Since you have taken him into custody, I will not pursue it for the time being. There is only one thing, he will never be allowed to touch the military again, otherwise , don't blame me for not showing mercy to you."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chengyan had no time to think, hurriedly took his coat and went downstairs, and asked the driver to drive to Fuxi Road Villa.It is the place where Mu Bingci lives temporarily now.

The car drove all the way in from the garden gate, Jiang Chengyan looked up and saw that the lights in Mu Bingci's house were still on, and couldn't help frowning.Get out of the car and go upstairs quickly, from the door to the outside of the room stood a row of military guards.Jiang Chengyan waved for people to disperse, opened the door and entered the room.

Mu Bingci really didn't sleep, he was sitting on the sofa playing with a camera, and he didn't care when he heard someone coming in.Jiang Chengyan took off his coat and suit and put it on the side of the sofa, put on his shirt and sat beside Mu Bingci, reached out and took his camera away and said: "This is why I had a major operation, it hurt my body and lost so much weight, Do you want to make my heart hurt to death by not resting so late?"

It is said that Mu Bingci fell ill when he came back from Xi'an, and had appendicitis surgery in the Western Hospital.In fact, the disease had become severe when he was in Lishan, but because of the accident, he had no time to take care of it and persisted. If it was delayed for a few more days, his life might be in danger.Hearing what the doctor said, Jiang Chengyan broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Mu Bingci was detained, otherwise he didn't know what would happen.

Mu Bing couldn't help but took the camera away, turned to him and asked, "When will I be allowed to go back to Beiping to lead the army? Are you going to start a war with the Japanese now? I want to fight the Japanese soldiers."

Jiang Chengyan met his sincere eyes with a smile on his face, bent down and hugged him horizontally, put him on the bed, and said: "He is not in good health yet, why are you fighting Japanese soldiers? Now that the alliance will join hands, there is no need You work so hard."

There was a sudden sadness in my heart for no reason.

In the past, Jiang Chengyan had been blocking Mu Bing's resignation and prevented him from getting in touch with the military and government. One was because he didn't want him to cause trouble for Mu's family, and the other was because he had a heart of protection.But after these years, especially after Mu Yanqiu's death, Jiang Chengyan has seen Mu Bingci who led the southern army to fight everywhere, and gradually has a wild and vigorous temperament on his body, as if he has lost the vitality in Mu Bingci's original bones. induced.Let the people who see him feel full of joy just by seeing him full of vitality.

Jiang Chengyan remembered that Mu Yanqiu once begged him not to detain Mu Bingci, Mu Yanqiu really understood Bingci, he knew that he could not stand house arrest, the world is so big, only letting him go into the wild is what he naturally likes .Jiang Chengyan felt sorry for him.He never thought that Mu Bingci was very talented in the military, he just thought that if Mu Bingci adapted to the military, then let him go, and his wildness should be used in the right place.

But strong steel is easy to break.No matter how ambitious, no matter how talented, no matter how dangerous the regime is, there is only one way to survive.

Even if this fate comes with humiliation.

This is why Jiang Chengyan hates the regime the most.Suppressing the nature and distorting the living people into things that are not human, ghost or ghost. While gaining supreme power, they are also swallowed by power.

Mu Bingci didn't think too much about it, he just said: "I have my reasons for beating the Japanese soldiers. I will avenge Mu Yanqiu's death for Mu Yanqiu in my lifetime. What does it have to do with the alliance?"

Jiang Chengyan said with a smile: "I'll wait for you to recover before we talk about everything. Now it's just preparing for the battle, and we will fight if there is no tomorrow. Besides, it's hard to say how many people in Nanjing will deal with you in the case of Lishan. You Take advantage of this time to rest well, so as not to drag a half-dead body to the battlefield in the future, how can I rest assured?"

Mu Bingci looked at him and said nothing.Jiang Chengyan has always been impeccable in his words and deeds. Mu Bingci was silent for a while, but said: "Jiang Chengyan, you brought me to Shanghai this time. I know in my heart that you want to help me. If it wasn't for you, I would have been killed by Nanjing as well." Arrest and judge over there, after all, such a thing as admonishing the chairman is a slap in the face of an important member of the central government. But didn’t they see it too, it’s just a stopgap measure.”

Jiang Chengyan nodded, but sighed deeply in his heart.Mu Bingci is intelligent and transparent, but he loses his humanity.Jiang Chengbo has accumulated a lot of prestige, and he has long been no different from the old monarch.In the past, the Mu family tolerated him and used him, but he still had value to use. Now that the central army is getting stronger, the southern army has become a thorn in the flesh and a knife in the palm.The change of Lishan this time has become an excellent excuse. For such an unfamiliar leader, if you are unfaithful once, you will not use it a hundred times.

Jiang Chengyan had no choice but to close his wrist, knead it slowly in the palm of his hand, and said with a light smile: "You can understand these external affairs, why do you regard my feelings for you and me as a mess What about you? You spend your entire life in fighting, and you don’t think about leaving some time for me, even if I owe you something in the past, don’t you give me a chance to repay it?”

Mu Bingci fell silent.She frowned slightly and stopped looking at him.

Jiang Chengyan smiled wryly: "Bingci, have you let me go completely in your heart? You saved me on Lishan Mountain, I thought you still had some old feelings for me at least."

Mu Bingci turned over uncomfortably, with his back to him.After being silent for a while, he said softly: "Jiang Chengyan, these years have passed, do I hate you for deceiving me and deceiving me, or I hate myself for being ignorant and incompetent? Sometimes I can't even tell the difference. But I can't let go of those things in Huizhou, my sister's matter, Mu Yanqiu's matter. I can't pretend that nothing happened. Maybe one day I will forgive you, and the old relationship is still there, but I will never go back to you went."

Jiang Chengyan's heart was stagnant, and he looked at Mu Bingci's back with lonely eyes. He had hugged him countless times in this posture.At that time, Mu Bingci loved him simply and happily, without any distractions.He had sworn to him with his free soul that he would never give him up.It was only at this time that Jiang Chengyan realized that what he said casually at the time, turned out to be worth thousands of gold and even more expensive.So much so that at this moment, even comfort has become a luxury.

He secretly hoped that Mu Bingci would be happier, and if giving up on him would make him happier, then let's give up.But there is infinite desolation in the vast world, and he can't ask for sincerity after all.How to deal with such contradictory emotions?

Jiang Chengyan stretched out his hand to gently hold Mu Bingci's shoulder, and sighed: "I won't force you. You can choose whatever is best for you. It's getting late, you can sleep peacefully. I'll let the kitchen cook some nourishing food for you Medicinal food, it’s good to eat when you wake up tomorrow morning.”

After that, he got up and walked out of the room, and turned off the lights in the room.

The door closed softly.Mu Bingci turned his head in the dark, staring blankly at Jiang Chengyan's leaving direction, feeling inexplicably sour on the tip of his nose.
