lost to time

It seems to be full and moving.

The adjutant was stared at by Zhang Qishan and didn't dare to look any longer, so he quickly withdrew his gaze and said, "That—Lord Buddha, are you hungry, eat some before going back to the city."

"Okay." Wu Xie and Zhang Qishan sat down around the fire, with a well-roasted hare on the wooden stick in the guard's hand.Wu Xie smelled a smell of burnt food, looked down and found half a rabbit's hind legs in the fire, and said hurriedly: "It fell into the fire."

The adjutant stood aside with a forced smile and said, "Don't worry about it, little Buddha, just give Kun'er and the others something to eat."

Hearing the words, Zhang Qishan picked up the cup on the side, raised his head and drank it with two liang of burning knives, and beckoned the adjutant to sit down. Before the spring solstice, the dusk faded quickly, and the few people rushed back after eating.

When approaching Changsha City, Zhang Qishan leaned on Wu Xie's shoulder and closed his eyes to rest. The adjutant kept looking in the rear mirror. Wu Xie glanced at it for a few times and asked softly, "Is there something wrong?"

The adjutant glanced at Zhang Qishan, shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's okay, little Buddha, don't worry."

"Who?" Zhang Qishan asked with his eyes closed, without moving.

Then the adjutant frowned and said: "We followed the car when we left the city, and we got rid of it after a while. I thought maybe it was superfluous. It seems that we lost our follower, so we have been waiting here."

"Can you see clearly?"

The adjutant turned around, squinted his eyes for a while and said, "I didn't turn on the lights, I just felt the sound of a vehicle vibrating behind me, and I couldn't tell what it was."

Zhang Qishan didn't make a sound for a while, then suddenly said: "After entering the city, put me down at the Crescent Hotel, you go back first."

"Buddha, are you alone?"

"Ah."

"But—" the adjutant wanted to say more, but was stopped by Zhang Qishan, "Okay, they don't dare to kill me so blatantly, I'll go and have a drink and come back, you must arrive safely, don't be caught by others. "

"Yes."

Zhang Qishan saw that Wu Xie was just quiet, as if nothing happened, so he couldn't help flirting and asked again: "Why don't you see that you are clamoring to go with me?"

Wu Xie gave him an angry look, "Who do you think I am? This is the time—I won't let others find out who I am."

"Who are you?" Zhang Qishan pushed forward.

No longer impatient, Wu Xie stomped Zhang Qishan hard.

Zhang Qishan groaned, and took the opportunity to lie on Wu Xie's ear, "Who said in the afternoon that he would rather hurt himself than let me hurt, and he was considerate not to let me move too much. Now he will hit me again, don't you feel bad?"

57 chapter

"Zhang Qishan!" Wu Xie didn't take advantage of it, but instead blushed, and secretly glanced at the adjutant in front, for fear that others would overhear, "If it wasn't for your injuries, I won't kill you tonight, sir." I will take your last name!"

"Okay, how do you want to kill me? I'll wait, don't break your promise." Zhang Qishan still lowered his voice, but the more intermittent his voice was, the more it made people want to stop.

Wu Xie's mind was chaotic, and he remembered the dazzling sunlight he saw when he squinted his eyes in the afternoon. The boat was swaying on the water like a rootless flower, and the whole world was shaking.This shaking is floating in mid-air, so empty that he can't step on the ground, and the warm figure seems to be melted into the cool wind.Wu Xie had already forgotten what he was going to ask, but when he came back to his senses, he found that Zhang Qishan had got off the car alone.

When they arrived at Zhang's mansion, the adjutant got out of the car first, and Wu Xie followed behind pretending to be obedient.After entering the door, the butler asked, "Where is the Buddha?"

"There is a follow-up, the Buddha will return later."

"This—" the steward glanced at Wu Xie, and knew the reason, but who could stop the Buddha from doing things, so he said, "Let's wait and see."

Wu Xie said that she was not worried, but she was still restless when they separated.Standing in the courtyard and waiting for half an hour, I finally saw someone open the courtyard door, and a shaky figure in a coat came in from outside, and hurriedly went up to him and asked, "Why did you wait for so long? "

After entering the door, Zhang Qishan shook his body and put aside his drunken state, hugged Wu Xie into the main room, took off his coat and said, "You have to drink for a while before it makes sense?"

"Who is it?"

Zhang Qishan didn't answer Wu Xie's question directly, but said, "Shuai Yu passed away last month, and the cause of his death is very strange."

"Marshal Wu Peifu?"

"Well, I thought it was time for us, as expected."

Although there has been no conclusive evidence for Marshal Wu Peifu's death, it should have been caused by poisoning by the Japanese. This speculation has also been agreed by the vast majority of people.

"Then what should we do?" Wu Xie asked.

Zhang Qishan patted Wu Xie in relief, "They still have nothing to do with me for a while, but just be more careful, don't worry about me. But you—"

Wu Xie thought in his heart how could he not be worried in such a situation, it seems that he should try not to go out with Zhang Qishan in the future to avoid being noticed.It doesn't matter to me, I'm just afraid that Zhang Qishan will be coerced, and I don't know what will happen.

After that, Wu Xie went in and out without taking anyone with him, walking alone, which seemed more natural.When Zhang Qishan went out, he went to his grandfather, and also asked for some dog-raising methods that his grandfather had not recorded. Although his grandfather often made a bad face, it was still safe there.Sometimes I would go to Erye's place, but never talk about Zhang Qishan, Er Yuehong would put on a cold face and want to scold others when talking about it.After a long time, he and Chen Pi Asi were able to talk a few words. Wu Xie originally had a grudge, but later gradually realized that Chen Pi Asi was still the only one who followed Er Yuehong's lead, so he was still a person who could rest assured for the time being.

On this New Year's Eve (February 2th), Er Yuehong finished singing the box-sealing opera. At least one year has passed in peace, and I am very happy. I ask the girl to prepare a table well. Don't neglect because of the war. It's good to rush through the sky full of gunpowder smoke by celebrating.Before the war has entered the city, it is absolutely necessary to eat and drink.Unlike Zhang Qishan, Er Yuehong loves calligraphy, painting, and gold stones. The last time she asked for Yu Ruyi, she was just joking, so Wu Xie preferred to spend time in Er Yuehong's study.In the blink of an eye that day, he stayed until the afternoon, so Er Yuehong kept him for dinner.Thinking about Zhang Qishan going to attend the meeting secretly called by Generalissimo Jiang, it will take several days before he comes back, but he will not be able to accompany his grandfather in this way.

Er Yuehong smiled and said, "Old Dog Wu still needs someone to accompany him? All he needs is a dog to accompany him. Forget it, I'll send someone to invite him to come with me, so we can celebrate the New Year together in good spirits. No matter how lonely the day is, you have to know how to have fun by yourself. Go and invite Huo Dangjia and Huo's girls, Xie Jiu, and Qi Laoba to come together. Today, the Buddha is not here, so I will be the second master of Lao Jiu's family."

Speaking of the New Year, it’s just a matter of fun. Since Zhang Qishan came to Changsha, from Zhang Dafo’s fame to the establishment of the Nine Schools, the written and unwritten rules have been established. In previous years, Zhang Qishan always took the lead. The year’s grievances are not all. Putting it aside, no one would dare not miss the New Year's Eve Crescent Hotel gathering.It was also because of the tense fighting in the past two years. In 1939, the north of Changsha City was burned by the Japanese army. The flames of war burned to the gate of the city.The end of the year is gloomy, and it's a good thing to be lively once. The Hong family's class hurriedly got to work, and the girl immediately sent someone to the Crescent Hotel to invite the two masters that Er Yuehong praised to come to the door at a high price.

At night, red lanterns were hung high above the gate, lighting up a worry-free lamp for the city of Changsha, which had been humiliated by the war.

Wu Xie was naturally considered to belong to Wu Laogou's family, sitting next to Wu Laogou, Qi Tiezui and Xiejiu, two lonely people, sat together and opened their mouths to fight openly and secretly.

The head of the Huo family was already in poor health, so only Huo Xiangu came, and it was decided that Huo Xiangu would succeed the Huo family.Huo Xiangu, who was sitting across from her, couldn't leave Old Dog Wu's eyes from left to right. Remembering the pretense she said last time, Wu Xie felt a little guilty, and hurriedly talked to his grandfather, for fear that Huo Xiangu would take advantage of this good day to reveal the words.

Er Yuehong toasted to start the banquet, and everyone stopped talking and said a few words to the second master to win the prize.Wu Xie watched the noise and laughed, and suddenly felt that he had returned to the days when he was with the third uncle. Everything was peaceful, so people could be unrestrained.

Before the cup was half over, someone broke in, saw Wu Xie sitting here, heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "Little brother, it's really easy to find, the Buddha is at home and is angry to the sky, saying that there is something missing , you come back with me quickly."

Wu Xie thought to himself, didn't Zhang Qishan say that he would not come back in two or three days?Besides, not being able to find things has nothing to do with me, but seeing that the adjutant is so anxious, he still stood up quickly.

Er Yuehong greeted the adjutant and asked: "What is so important? Wu Xie also don't go, you go and invite the Buddha."

While apologizing, the adjutant said: "Second Master, I dare not answer, I will tell Master Buddha after I go back, and come back again."

Er Yuehong snorted coldly, and asked Chen Pi Asi to follow Wu Xie back.It's not that she is worried about the adjutant, but Er Yuehong is concerned about the current situation even though she doesn't ask, and she can't let Wu Xie have an accident in front of her door.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Wu Xie heard Zhang Qishan's scolding voice from the room, "I haven't seen you back from morning to night! You don't know where you went! Ask me! Send a few people to follow!!"

Wu Xie who was walking to the door stopped, and the housekeeper replied neither humble nor overbearing inside: "Buddha, he is a free man after all, not a prisoner!"

Zhang Qishan knew that what he said was true, he slapped the table fiercely and shouted: "Look for it! Go and send someone to search Changsha City and find it!"

58 chapter

"You don't need to look for it, I'm back." Wu Xie hurriedly opened the door and went in. Seeing that the things in the room were thrown all over the floor, the housekeeper's expression was not good. Seeing Wu Xie coming in, he nodded and retreated.

Wu Xie bent down to pick up the books and cups on the ground, and asked, "I stayed at Second Master's house for a long time, thinking that you would not come back. Second Master's is very crowded at night, so I will stay there to eat." After dinner, the nine gates are all here, why don't we go now—”

"Don't pick it up!" Zhang Qishan lifted Wu Xie from the ground with a livid face.

Wu Xie's wrist was tightly bound, and he couldn't bear the pain and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, don't do this."

Only then did Zhang Qishan realize his gaffe, he let go of Wu Xie and said, "It's nothing."

"Next time I go out, I must tell them, don't do this."

Zhang Qishan was noncommittal, gritted his teeth and walked back to the desk, lowering his head and focusing on sorting out the messed up documents.Wu Xie only thought that he was in a hurry, and he would be fine when he recovered, so he straightened his clothes and walked forward, hugged Zhang Qishan's shoulder from behind and said: "It's thirty today, if you don't want to go to the second master, then we How about having some fun with people?"

Zhang Qishan's stiff body gradually relaxed in the warm embrace, nodded and said: "Well, you can make arrangements."

Looking at Wu Xie's leaving back, Zhang Qishan frowned more and more.Today is fine, what about tomorrow, tomorrow is fine, will it be fine in the future?

No hindrance, no fear.There is an obstacle in the heart, and I can't feel at ease.

Zhang Qishan covered his face with one hand, and heard that Master Du Yuming had a lucky general under his command, that is, the head of the frontal attack brigade in the Kunlun Pass Battle - Zheng Dongguo.More than a month after the Battle of Kunlun Pass, the wife of regimental commander Zheng lived alone in Changsha with her three-year-old son.The child has always been weak. I heard that he had a high fever in the past few days, and Chinese medicine failed to treat him.An acquaintance introduced them to Yangde Hospital, but they didn't expect that the hospital was invested by the Japanese, and Mrs. Zheng also went to the hospital in a hurry, and the child died within a few days.The frontline generals fought bloody battles, but Zhang Qishan didn't protect their families well under their noses.The Japanese had already been rampant to this point, when Fang heard about this, he rushed back and did not see Wu Xie, how could Zhang Qishan feel better in his heart, and how could he not be worried. (The love son of Mrs. Zheng is a fiction, sorry. The one who lost his son is Zhang Xueliang, and the child is called Zhang Luqi.)

Zhang Qishan was thinking about it when he heard the chaos outside. He came out and saw that Wu Xiezheng was directing people to move the tables, and he didn't know where to move out a few raised flower stands to light the lamps. It was really fast. Seeing Zhang Qishan come out, he said with a smile: "Let everyone come, and those who are [-] years old also have a day off."

"Except for those who stand guard outside, don't let your guard down."

"En." Wu Xie responded, and asked someone to deliver food to the sentinels outside alone.

It was past midnight, and there were scattered firecrackers in the city of Changsha. This year was considered good, and the Battle of Changsha came to an end at the end of autumn.Xue Boling is a bit headstrong, but in the past year he has been the governor, Changsha City has developed steadily and steadily.If it was last year, the city would be dead silent.After drinking a lot in the yard, Zhang Qishan still sat there, picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank a few glasses by himself, the candlelight flickered and reflected on his side face, the housekeeper and adjutant settled down for everyone, and went to rest separately.

Only then did Zhang Qishan pick up Wu Xie who was lying on the side and go back to the room. Seeing Wu Xie's drunken face, Zhang Qishan regretted his previous impulse, stretched out his hand to cover him with a quilt, and gently stroked that delicate face.Maybe you can think about nothing when you're drunk, maybe you can't be afraid of anything when you're drunk, it's good to be drunk, but Zhang Qishan hasn't been drunk for a long time.

But Wu Xie didn't know anything about it, he just felt that Zhang Qishan was becoming more and more indifferent to him, if he had to find out the reason, it was just that he stayed at Er Yuehong's house for a long time that day, but why did he do it for such a trivial matter?Wu Xie couldn't figure it out, so he could only comfort himself that Zhang Qishan had a lot of affairs. In the past few months, there were constant military meetings, and there were small encounters on the front line from time to time.Although the large Japanese troops temporarily withdrew from the Ninth War Zone, the calmer they became, the more precautions they needed.Sometimes it is not uncommon for ten days and a half months not to see the above, so Wu Xie will go out to have fun by himself.

I went to Eryuehong many times, and found that Chen Pi Asi is very good at coming, and everywhere in Changsha city is clear, so I often borrow from Eryuehong to lead the way, eating all over the streets and alleys of Changsha city.One day, I was eating dim sum in a teahouse. The plum cakes and glutinous rice cakes made by this teahouse were the best. While I was eating, I heard the people at the next table talk about Master Zhang.One of them said: "Have you heard that our Great Buddha Zhang is getting married?"

"Huh? Whose Miss?"

"The eldest lady of the Yin family, Yin Xinyue."

"Can't you? I haven't seen it before."

"Why not, I heard that Grand Buddha Zhang is very pampered and doesn't let people look at him very much. You don't know, some people say that Grand Buddha Zhang just came out of the battlefield all day and night without closing his eyes, so he accompanied her to visit Dongting Lake. Let’s talk about it, this doesn’t mean that we are about to have a happy event in Changsha City.”

"Really? That's unusual. I can't tell that our Buddha is also an infatuated child."

"So what? Buddha is also a man. I heard there are more than that—"

The next teasing Wu Xie made her feel colder the more she listened. She only felt that the three fingers of the hand holding the plum cake were cold and the other two were hot. Even though she clenched her teeth tightly, she couldn't stop her whole body from trembling. Thinking of Zhang Qishan's recent attitude, How can it not make people panic.

Wu Xie couldn't remember how he insisted on saying goodbye to Chen Pi Asi and walked home alone, until Zhang Qishan came back at night, Wu Xie was still sitting on the sofa blankly.Zhang Qishan thought that Wu Xie had already fallen asleep, but saw a figure sitting on the sofa, froze for a moment and turned on the light and asked, "Why are you sitting alone so late?"

Wu Xie originally thought that there was no need to beat around the bush between the two of them, but when the words came to his lips, he was afraid of hearing the answer, so he just kept silent.

"What happened?" Zhang Qishan sat down next to Wu Xie.

"I want to move to live with grandpa."

Zhang Qishan's body that was close to him suddenly froze, he leaned back on the sofa for a while, and asked coldly, "Why?"

Before Zhang Qishan came back, Wu Xie assumed several possibilities for himself, and then thought of countless solutions for himself, asked about the noise or asked for an explanation, but when he finally saw Zhang Qishan's face, Wu Xie suddenly put it all down.If this person is Zhang Qishan, no matter what he wants to do, Wu Xie can accept it.

"Zhang Qishan—"

"Ok?"

Zhang Qishan's expression looked a little indifferent, Wu Xie couldn't figure out what he was thinking at this moment, and he seemed to be alienated, "I hope you know that, apart from everything else, we are friends by fate first, you can tell me about this." Agree?"

"Agreed." Zhang Qishan didn't know what Wu Xie wanted to say, but he agreed with this point without hesitation.

"So no matter what decision you make, you can tell me without any scruples. If you think it's better to go back to being a friend, I won't have any opinions. The only thing that can't be changed is that you are best friends. I accept other decisions. "

59 chapter

"Why should I make other decisions? Since I came back, you have been talking to yourself and threatening me by running away from home." Finding that what Wu Xie said was not the same as what he thought, Zhang Qishan couldn't laugh or cry, holding on The head asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"That - aren't you planning to get married?" Wu Xie was also a little embarrassed.

"Get married? Are you in a hurry? I haven't prepared a decent dowry yet, I'm afraid Old Dog Wu won't agree."

Wu Xie became angry from embarrassment. She thought that she couldn't cry like a woman and had to maintain a gentleman's demeanor. Now she couldn't hold back her anger anymore. She kicked her and said, "Be serious! Tell me! Who is Yin Xinyue!"

"Yin Xinyue?" Zhang Qishan didn't expect Wu Xie to mention this name, and shook his head in disdain and said, "I don't know what the so-called young lady is, why mention her?"

"I heard that she was an impostor. It was obviously the things I did with you, and all of them were replaced by her name!? If you didn't say it, how would she know?"

Zhang Qishan finally knew why Wu Xie was bored in the dark room by himself, he was relieved, and laughed loudly and said, "Has it spread so well?"

"You know about this?"

"Of course I know."

"You—" Wu Xie saw that Zhang Qishan's face didn't look like he wanted to show his cards, and he suddenly understood his purpose. It's just that he was blinded by anger before, so why didn't he think of this possibility earlier.But as soon as Wu Xie opened his mouth, he felt the house spinning suddenly, and he turned around and fell on Zhang Qishan.

"She sent someone to follow us when we went to Dongting Lake that day, and I found out the next day. It means how could it be so easy to get rid of if it was a Japanese spy. It's too lame." Zhang Qishan stretched out his hand and pulled Wu Xie into his arms , asked in his ear.

"and then?"

"This woman is really idle and boring. I didn't plan to take care of it. I didn't want to spread rumors in a few days, saying that I went with her that day." Zhang Qishan said with a disdainful laugh. After thinking about it, since she wants to occupy this position, let her occupy it, and simply send her a ride, adding some more things to go in." Zhang Qishan said, gently rubbing the palm of Wu Xie's waist.

"You want her to be a target?"

"Well, you'll be safe then."

"But——she is still living a life, what if something happens to her?" Wu Xie started to worry about others before her own matter was resolved.

Zhang Qishan tightened his arms and embraced Wu Xie's cold body. Thinking about how long Wu Xie had been sitting alone, his heart ached.But listening to what Wu Xie just said, Zhang Qishan knew that the previous speculation was indeed correct. If Wu Xie knew about it early in the morning, he would never allow Zhang Qishan to do so.That's why Zhang Qishan chose to hide it from him temporarily, but he didn't expect that it would reach Wu Xie's ears so quickly. "Don't worry, unlike you, Yin's family is very powerful in Changsha. The Japanese dare not touch her. Besides, I also sent someone to protect her. I can guarantee that nothing will happen."

Wu Xie sighed, the more Zhang Qishan sent someone to protect him, the more he would have confirmed the rumors.

"That's why you are here?" Zhang Qishan asked, "Don't be angry, when the situation is relaxed, I will naturally announce everything. I, Zhang Qishan, can no longer tolerate others, so I am not afraid of the eyes of the world."

"It's not all—" Wu Xie paused, curled up, lowered his head and said, "I always feel that you seem to be alienating me recently."

"You still found out." Zhang Qishan chuckled helplessly.

With a jolt, Wu Xie broke free from Zhang Qishan's arms, turned over and leaned against his chest and asked, "Really! What do you mean!"

Zhang Qishan gently lowered Wu Xie's body, pressed the back of his head and buried it in his shoulder, and said with a long sigh of relief, "Because I dare not face you."

"What bad thing did you do?" Wu Xie didn't raise his head, feeling the rise and fall of Zhang Qishan's chest and the warmth of his back and palm.

"I was the one who asked you to stay—"

"Regret?"

"Ah."

This crisp response made Wu Xie want to jump again, but Zhang Qishan held him tightly and said, "Don't move, don't look at me."

"If you regret it, I will go to my grandpa."

"Then I'll take someone to bulldoze Old Dog Wu's house."

Wu Xie's heart warmed, but the poor grandpa didn't know how much he had suffered from these two people.

"From ancient times to the present, many soldiers and soldiers have killed the enemy on the battlefield, but their relatives and loved ones in the rear have died under all kinds of nasty guns and arrows. After Yu Shuai, this kind of thing happened one after another recently. I can't help worrying. Every time the housekeeper tells I went out with you, and I held my heart in the air until you came back. Sometimes I feel that I am useless-I beg you to stay, but I have no ability to protect you. "

Zhang Qishan's tone was full of helplessness, it could be seen that this matter had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.Wu Xie was moved but angry at the same time. No matter how connected the two people were, the other party couldn't figure out what they deliberately wanted to hide. Could it be that such a simple question couldn't be revealed?Then he asked: "You made it clear early in the morning that it's okay to let me not go out? Anyway, I have nothing to do when I go out, just to play."

"What do you want me to say, Wu Xie? You came from such a beautiful and peaceful era. If I let you stay, but I can't even give you freedom, wouldn't it make you a bird in a cage? What do you want me to do?" Can you have the face to make such a request?"

"I can do it." Wu Xie kissed Zhang Qishan's neck sideways, and slowly slid his fingers along the arc of the shoulder, "Zhang Qishan, I don't care."

"Wu Xie." Zhang Qishan pressed Wu Xie's hand, "Although the Japanese army has retreated temporarily, the second attack is only a matter of time, and I will definitely go to the battlefield again at that time."

"I'll wait for you at home."

"No, Wu Xie, although no one will notice you now, it's not a long-term solution. If there is a day, I hope you can go abroad. I don't know how long it will take, but once the battle situation turns around, The rear is safe and secure, and I will take you back."

Wu Xie did not expect that Zhang Qishan would say such a thing, and it seemed that he had already considered this method carefully.Slowly raising his head, Wu Xie stared into Zhang Qishan's eyes, and said as firmly as possible in a trembling voice, "Zhang Qishan, I won't leave, I didn't stay here to be separated from you!"

Zhang Qishan raised his head and stroked Wu Xie's cheek, "If it can ensure your safety, I am willing to be separated by the world."

The two argued about this for a long time, but in the end Zhang Qishan was defeated and ended the topic with a kiss, "Let's talk about it on that day, just listen to me."

Wu Xie didn't answer, but he insisted on it. Not to mention going to battle to kill the enemy, he actually told himself to run away, he simply didn't regard himself as a man.Zhang Qishan, play with your eggs.

sixty chapters

But Wu Xie did not wait for such an opportunity. This year, Changsha City was extremely stable, and everything was even developing steadily. This has to be said to be the military and political commander Xue Boling Xue Yue.In Wu Xie's memory, the Battle of Changsha was fought three times.Wu Xie's calculation was thinking about how to persuade Zhang Qishan to take him to the battlefield, but Zhang Qishan was secretly thinking about how to arrange for Wu Xie to go abroad. This may be the sweetest bedfellow dream in the world.It is precisely because of the stability of the overall battle situation that the plans of the two have not waited for the right time.

Throughout the year, spring and summer flow, autumn and winter migrate, the peach blossoms on the branches bloom again, and the clouds come and go.Everything in the world is like a pattern on a prayer wheel, repeating and repeating, such as seasons, life, and even wars.

In a blink of an eye, Wu Xie came to this era. Nearly a year later, Zhang Qishan came back from Chongqing to participate in the United Front Conference of Chairman Jiang. Plan", the Japanese army's summer and autumn combat plan has been deployed, and Changsha is the goal that the Japanese army is determined to win.The commander of the 1941th Army of the Japanese Army was also replaced by Anan Yuji, and there may be a new combat mode.However, Generalissimo Jiang still maintained Xue Yue's military and political command position, and Xue Yue insisted on his own analysis of the deployment of the war situation and refused to listen to any suggestions.

Zhang Qishan still sighed when he thought about it, and said to Wu Xie: "The commissioner still doesn't trust me."

Zhang Qishan, who returned to Changsha, accepted Xue Yue's arrangement, and prepared to leave camp and go to the first front of Xinqianghe.There are still a few days before departure, and the people below are making intensive preparations. The battle plan and distribution have been made. Apart from thinking about the battle map, this has become the most secure few days for Zhang Qishan to stay at home. Spend every minute and every second by Wu Xie's side.

On this day Zhang Qishan received an invitation card, inscribed on the New Moon Hotel, on the gold-stamped invitation card there was only one sentence, Wan Wu rewards the noodles, and a small horse lantern was drawn beside it.

There is only one thing in the invitation card issued by the Crescent Hotel - there will be an antique sale tonight. It is rare that there is an extra line this time, and it must have a dragon's back.As soon as it was dusk, Zhang Qishan took Wu Xie to the Crescent Hotel. Even so, many people rushed ahead.Xie Jiu and Qi Tiezui are sitting in the lobby drinking tea together, why do you think these two chatty people like to get together?

Er Yuehong and Zhang Qishan were on the front and rear feet, and the weather was very cold after nightfall. Er Yuehong was wearing a white cloak with piping, and a few arrow orchids were embroidered on the hem of the cloak, which swayed lightly.Seeing Zhang Qishan and Wu Xie smiling and walking upstairs to the box, the location is directly opposite to the box that Zhang Qishan reserved.Soon Old Dog Wu also came in, looked up from a distance and saw Zhang Qishan and Wu Xie nodded, but instead walked towards Xie Jiu and the others.

"Eh? Grandpa, he—"

"He has gotten close to Xie Jiu recently, and I don't know what his plan is." Zhang Qishan was not too surprised.

Someone brought melon sliced ​​tea and a few plates of exquisite snacks, and when he went out, the adjutant locked the door tightly and stood by.

"I don't know what good things are today?" Wu Xie stood by the railing, looking around curiously, and saw Huo Xiangu sitting in the box next to Er Yuehong, except half of Li and the black-backed sixth and ninth. The door is here.

"The two of them don't care about business." Zhang Qishan replied.

The high piano platform in the middle of the Crescent Hotel, the piano has been moved away long ago, and the imprint of the tripod was left on the ground, which was withdrawn to be used as an auction platform.A few guys quickly spread out the red carpet and carried it out of the auction stage.As soon as eight o'clock struck, the door of the Crescent Hotel was closed. Since then, the inside and outside of the door have been separated into two worlds. The people inside each have a dusty, dark and bloody corner in their hearts, which is not enough for outsiders to understand.

There are many people sitting in the hall below, all talking about what good things will come out today. "I didn't expect there to be so many people." Wu Xie returned to the table and was about to sit down, but Zhang Qishan stopped him and asked him not to sit on the stool beside the table.

"Why can't you sit there?" Wu Xie was puzzled.

Zhang Qishan smiled but did not answer. The person who presided over the auction had already come out, wearing a bright red cheongsam embroidered with silver silk, his hair was pulled up high, leaving two strokes hanging down his cheeks, and the black hair was set off by snow-white His skin was like snow, his big eyes blinked and he looked around, and the whole hotel fell silent in an instant.

"Ahem, thank you for coming to the New Moon Hotel tonight." The girl's silver bell-like voice fell on the ground like pearls, one after another, "I'm afraid no one will be tempted by the things for tonight. It's up to whoever can pay the price." -"

Someone below shouted: "We can't get out, can't Nine Gates get out here? Don't be a fool, come out quickly and let the big guys look good."

The girl smiled sideways, "Don't scare the eyeballs later."

"My eyes fell off when I saw you, Meituo."

The girl glared at him and said nothing, raised her hand and someone brought something up, one was a book-sized glass display cabinet, inside the cabinet was covered with a pure black velvet cushion, and on the cushion was a small white thing that looked like a jade plaque.It was too far away and Wu Xie couldn't see clearly, and said in his heart that he didn't know what the origin of this jade was, it could scare people's eyes out.Zhang Qishan handed Wu Xie a small binoculars, and only then did he see clearly that it was a Hetian jade amulet.To say that the nothing card is the least discernible, at most it is a year jade price, not something out of the ordinary.Wu Xie put down the binoculars with some disappointment, turned around and shook his head at Zhang Qishan, "The lottery is really good, if the price is right, you can buy it."

The girl presiding over the auction was also a dainty owner. From a distance of seven to eight meters, she caught a glimpse of Wu Xie's subtle movements in the noisy crowd, and said with a smile: "The price is not right."

Wu Xie was taken aback for a moment, the words were obviously aimed at herself, she didn't expect that she could hear such a small voice, so she quickly kept her mouth shut.

The girl took out a pair of thin silk gloves that were almost transparent, and Qianqian's plain hands just slipped into the gloves, but don't underestimate this pair of gloves, although they are so thin that they are almost transparent, they are actually stacked at least dozens of layers.It is said that a mole on the chest can be seen on the silk clothes of the Tang Dynasty after six layers. It is this kind of craftsmanship. Wearing it on the hands can absolutely protect the antique patina, and this kind of gloves can not be worn by everyone. Going in from the ground, the girl's pair of catkins is probably smoother than silk.

At the same time as the display cabinet, there was also a silver basin, half filled with water, I don't know what to do with it.

Zhang Qishan knew that the New Moon Hotel hadn't held an auction for a long time, so this item must be untouched, so he said: "Whether the price is suitable or not, as long as you like it, it must be yours." After speaking, he moved to the small table Sitting down on the round stool, there was an uproar in the audience.Extra Story [-].note

Wu Xie was still wondering why everyone in the hotel would have such a surprised reaction when Zhang Qishan just changed his position.The girl who sang and sold was also stunned, she raised her hands and said, "Buddha, tonight's stuff—"

Zhang Qishan raised his hand to interrupt her, "How many pieces do you have tonight?"

The girl replied: "Three pieces."

"Tonight, I will not only light the sky lanterns, but also light three of them in a row." As soon as Zhang Qishan finished speaking, the restaurant was even more ebullient, and Zhang Qishan's next words could hardly suppress the voices of the crowd.

Lighting up sky lanterns is not a joke, so many people have lost their fortunes, not to mention that the Buddha doesn't even know what the objects are today, what kind of excitement is this?Not to mention the people below, even Wu Xie, who was standing aside, had already been overwhelmed in his heart.He knew that Zhang Qishan lit three sky lanterns in succession and burned half a year's harvest of his family.But that meant that he lit a sky lantern to propose to someone. Wu Xie originally thought that everything would change when he came here, so lighting up a sky lantern might not happen, but he didn't expect it to be a coincidence. Ordered it for yourself?

But when I think about it this way, I am right. Those who can come here are some people. They didn’t even bring Er Yuehong with them. Who else can be evil.

The girl wanted to say something else, but a man in a black satin gown with dark patterns sat in the dark behind her, and stopped her at this moment, saying: "Tonight's item really must be the Buddha."

Zhang Qishan got up and walked to the railing, pressing his hands on the railing with black leather gloves.As soon as he got up, everyone fell silent.Zhang Qishan looked down at the crowd with his head held high, with an unruly smile on his face, "I, Zhang, will go to the battlefield the day after tomorrow. This battle is not only about the survival of Changsha, but also determines the situation of the entire country and the state of the world. If not To win is to die in battle. However, as a general, blood stains rivers and mountains, why should he hate death! Zhang has been down and out in his life, and he didn't care about anything at all, but now
