"sister……"

Gong Qian opened her tired eyes, pressed An Yi, who was struggling to sit up, on the bed, and gently took off the wet towel on An Yi's head to cool down: "Don't get drunk again, you will worry my sister and Mother Wu.

You're dead, Wu Ma has just gone to bed after serving you all night."

An Yi closed his eyes and raised his hands to rub his swollen temples. Gong Qian changed a wet towel and folded it, carefully placed it on An Yi's forehead, removed his hands and gently rubbed his head, a pair of beautiful

His eyes were full of love and affection.

An Yi opened his eyes and looked around, grabbed Gong Qian's warm hands and asked in a low voice: "Sister, why did I come to your place?"

"After waiting for you for dinner for half a night, I heard the sound of a car outside the door. Sister and Wu Ma went out. Knowing that you didn't have a car, they didn't want to bother anyone. It made people uneasy to have the car back so late. As a result, Chief Chen Cheng got angry

You were dripping with sweat and ordered your captain of the bodyguard to carry you out of the car. How can you be so drunk and have no one to take care of you? After I thanked Chen Cheng, I asked Xiaojiu and the others to carry you in."

Gong Qian sighed and took out her hand to caress An Yi's pale face: "Xiao Yi, don't drink like this in the future. You are a general now. Everything is hard-won. You must learn to cherish, cherish your reputation, cherish your

Are you feeling well?"

An Yi nodded gratefully: "Sister, I will never get drunk again."

Gong Qian smiled brightly, stood up and brought An Yi a cup of hot sugar tea. She watched An Yi finish drinking it happily, and then gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief: "Do you want more?"

"That's enough. My stomach will feel better after drinking this cup of sugar tea. Sister, I'm not that delicate. I'll be lively again after a while."

An Yi smiled and looked at Gong Qian's concerned face, and her heart was filled with happiness: "Sister, I always give you trouble, but I never do anything for my sister. I feel uncomfortable."

Gong Qian lightly hit An Yi: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you say such unscrupulous things again, I won't deal with you. Okay, it's almost dawn, get out of here if you can get up, my sister didn't sleep all night, she won't sleep

I haven’t had much energy all day recently, and there’s still a lot of work I haven’t finished yet.”

An Yi climbed up quickly and saw the clean military uniforms neatly placed on the low stool and quickly put them on: "Sister, where are my guns and briefcase?"

"I asked Xiaojiu to take it back and send me these clean clothes. Remember to have breakfast, otherwise your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

Gong Qian supported An Yi's arm and walked him to the door. After opening the door to see him off, An Yi closed the door, leaned against the door panel, closed her eyes and gasped loudly. After a while, she suppressed her turbulent feelings and walked slowly back to the room.

Half an hour later, three tall war horses carried An Yi and his two guards through the city, and the city of Nanjing slowly woke up with the first ray of dawn.

Ling Hanfeng, the personal guard, told An Yi in a low voice that horses and animal-drawn carts were not allowed to pass through the main roads in Nanjing. An Yi smiled at the guard who came from a Taoist family and said: "Not only do I have to ride a horse through the city, but I also have to ride a horse to the city.

Go wherever you want and see who can do anything to me."

Xiaojiu and Ling Hanfeng looked at each other and smiled, then followed An Yi to the military camp and dismounted, just as the wake-up call was blowing.

During this day's training, An Yi stood motionless under a tree far away from the team as usual and watched without saying a word except for the occasional return greeting. The brothers also gradually learned about the defeat of the frontline independent division.

An Yi responded with a comforting smile and no one bothered him, but An Yi

His heart was ups and downs, and he could not calm down for a moment. In the afternoon, after the long-distance running in which the whole group worked hard and complained, An Yi still did not receive the call from Principal Jiang. He felt very sad and a little uneasy, almost in his mind

They are all familiar faces of the brothers on the front line.

Zhang Zhizhong led the division generals to the headquarters for a meeting early, so An Yi did not say goodbye. He chatted with Du Yuming, Zheng Jiemin, Luo Qun, Li Zhengtao and Fang Tian for a while before politely saying goodbye, mounted his horse and left the camp.

, and soon entered Zhongshan North Road, which had just been renamed.

Entering the intersection and riding along the bustling street, An Yi Mingqian on horseback felt the curious eyes of the people around him. Then he remembered the ban on riding horses on the main streets in the city, but An Yi, who was still angry, still

They went their own way and didn't care. The three war horses were all excellent horses, carrying three majestic and high-spirited soldiers ticking forward, which was extremely conspicuous.

When the three of them rode horses to the intersection at Hehui Street, they were finally stopped by two dedicated police officers.

An Yi looked at the policeman standing in front of his beloved horse expressionlessly, and gently clamped the horse's belly with his legs. The little black horse raised its proud head and strode forward, frightening the two policemen to jump away quickly. One of them jumped away.

One person recognized An Yi and quickly grabbed his partner. After a few words, he shut up the partner who wanted to curse. He stared blankly at An Yi's departure and sighed repeatedly: "I also want to blow the whistle to attract the military police."

Well, I didn’t expect it to be General An, what a pity..."

"Don't recruit any gendarmerie. Which of the officers in the gendarmerie is not General An's senior brother? Don't ask for trouble, but having said that, the punishment given to General An by the headquarters is too severe. When I first heard the news, I

If you still don’t believe it, why don’t you just curse the Japanese a few times? Which sentence is wrong? The Japanese are so damn pushy, grandma…”

"Pull them down! Who dares to scold the Japanese except General An? Haven't you seen that a large number of Japanese expatriates are still showing off their power on the land of our jurisdiction? Who among the central government officials in the Tianwang Mansion has said a word "no"? Accept your fate.

Bar……"

As soon as An Yi arrived at the head of Xinhong Bridge, a black Citroën car slowly caught up with An Yi and pulled over at the other end of the bridge. An Yi glanced at the license plate and didn't pay attention anymore. After crossing the bridge, he was stopped by a hail.

An Yi recognized the major general coming out of the car, quickly dismounted, threw the reins to Xiao Jiu, and strode forward to salute:

"Hello, Chief Li! Why are you here in Nanjing? Is Chief Li Degong here too?"

Li Zongren's adjutant Li Zhifan returned the salute and came forward to shake hands enthusiastically: "Master De is on the front line, where can I go? I came here to handle military affairs. I happened to see you riding a horse and felt familiar, so I took another look.

It turns out it’s really you, what a coincidence, haha...what? You are..."

An Yi glanced at the nameplate on his chest and said with a wry smile: "My younger brother is now the head of the Instructor Replenishment Group at the headquarters, which makes the commander laugh. Sir, please go ahead. The subordinates don't dare to disturb the commander's work. Please go back and ask the subordinates to report to you.

Chief Li and Chief of Staff Wang say hello!"

"How is this possible? Oh my god! I didn't know you were being dealt with so seriously."

Li Zhifan saw many people gathered around to watch, and quickly took An Yi's arm: "Let's go! I've finished my work. It's time to eat. Let's have a drink together. Anyway, I have nowhere to go and I have to find a place to eat."

, If you are unfamiliar with this place, please accompany me. I also want to hear your views on the upcoming Battle of Xuzhou."

"this……"

An Yi wanted to refuse, but Li Zhifan generously and enthusiastically invited him again and again. An Yi refused but thought about it and said, "Well, sir, sir, my subordinate lives in Houzai Lane not far ahead. I will ride my horse back first, or sir."

Just take the first step and tell your subordinates where you are, and they will rush there as soon as possible."

"No, no! I will follow you, otherwise you will have to find a car, which will be too troublesome. Let's go, I will ask the car to follow you." Li Zhifan was very considerate and thoughtful.

An Yi nodded, quickly got on his horse and hurried back to Houzai Lane. When he got to the door, he told Xiaojiu to tell Wu Ma that he would not come back for dinner. Then he walked to the car followed by Li Zhifan, got into the back seat and asked enthusiastically what General Li Zongren was commanding.

The current progress of the Third Route Army,

Li Zhifan explained to An Yi one by one, and told An Yi that Zhang Fakui's troops from Wuhan had already captured Linying City, Tang Shengzhi's troops had captured Xiangcheng, and the capture of Xuchang was just around the corner, and Feng Yuxiang's troops had already captured the Gong County line east of Luoyang and began to attack Zhengzhou.

Launch an attack.

The car stopped in front of the Zhuangyuan Building in the north of Confucius Temple. An Yi quickly opened the car door and went around to the other side to open the door for Li Zhifan. Li Zhifan stopped him and said that An Yi was too polite. An Yi smiled and respectfully asked Li Zhifan to move forward.

He told Li Zhifan that he would be the host this time.

Li Zhifan agreed, and the two of them entered the Zhuangyuan Building with humility. When Zhike saw a general and a colonel coming in, he did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet the inquiry. They were quickly arranged in a luxurious private room at the east end of the third floor. They were attentive.

He led the two of them upstairs.

An Yi politely asked Li Zhifan to go first. Suddenly he saw a very familiar figure wearing a dark gray scholar's gown entering the hall. He quickly apologized to the humble Li Zhifan and strode up to greet him:

"Brother Dai, why are you here? Alone?"

Dai Li, who was looking into the depths of the hall, turned his head and was very happy to see that it was An Yi: "Xiao Yi? I thought you lived in the military camp. What? Are you inviting someone or is someone inviting you?"

An Yi grabbed Dai Li and walked towards Li Zhifan, who was watching: "On the way home, I happened to meet Commander Li Zhifan, the adjutant of General Li Delin of the Seventh Army. Let's go. I will talk to you later... Chief Li, let me introduce this.

It’s my school friend from Huangpu, Dai Li and Dai Yunong. We haven’t seen each other for a long time and we happened to bump into each other, haha!

Come on, let’s go upstairs together... Excuse me, shopkeeper, we don’t need to order food, just come to the table with ten oceans worth of food and wine for three people, you can take care of it!"

"Okay! General An, I have recognized you, haha! General, don't worry, I will take care of everything. I will ensure that the general is well fed and well fed!"

The shopkeeper originally stood aside and looked at each other with a smile, but as he was not a special guest, he would not greet him personally. When he saw that it was An Yi, he started busy like the waiter without saying a word, and his voice was full of anger.

He was full of personality and had a loud voice. A few words attracted everyone's attention. The diners recognized An Yi and cheered loudly. An Yi laughed when he saw it and quickly pulled Dai Li and Li Zhifan up the stairs.

Li Zhifan was very reluctant to let Dai Li, a stranger to him, step in, but he couldn't refuse and had to give up. He entered the private room and sat down humbly. Dai Li took the maid's teapot and poured tea for Li Zhifan politely. An Yi put on his hat and turned around to see Dai Li.

Having already poured the tea, he sat down and whispered to the maid to bring some hot towels.

"Excuse me, where is Brother Dai employed?" Li Zhifan tapped the table with his finger to express his gratitude, and looked up and down at Dai Li, who was dressed in civilian clothes.

Dai Li put down the teapot, sat down slowly, and replied humbly: "Sir, I am a student of the sixth phase of Huangpu. However, after Ninghan split up, thousands of classmates dispersed like birds and beasts. Now that I can't resume school, I have nowhere to go, so I can only stay in Nanjing temporarily.

Awaiting further notification.”

"So that's what it is, what a pity!"

Li Zhifan sighed with regret on his face, and suddenly felt much more relaxed in his heart, completely losing the wariness he had at the beginning.

An Yi saw the contempt for Dai Li in Li Zhifan's eyes and quickly said with a smile: "My subordinates are very close to Brother Dai and have a good relationship. I originally wanted to invite Brother Dai to join my independent division, but unfortunately now my subordinates are also unable to protect themselves.

My heart is still full of apologies.”

"Xiaoyi, why are you so polite? Your setback this time is only temporary. Brother Yu is definitely optimistic about your future. If Brother Yu achieves nothing by then, he will have to live with you, haha!"

Dai Li, who has been living on the beach for several years, has already seen Li Zhifan's true attitude and is deeply grateful for An Yi's words. Last time he and Zeng Xuan went to Hangzhou and gathered hundreds of Huangpu students who were living in various places.

The arrangements for the period were completed, but he himself was ignored by Zeng Kuanqing.

After returning to Nanjing, Zeng Kuangqing was so busy that he remembered Dai Li's incident, but he had to accompany President Jiang to inspect the front line. Hu Zongnan led the First Division to station in Yizheng, making it a rare return to Nanjing. Moreover, the recovered First Division Commander Deng Zhenquan was restored to health.

Hu Zongnan once again returned to his post as deputy division commander, while Dai Li was left alone in Nanjing without relatives or friends.

I was really lonely and depressed. I was in a bad mood today and wanted to find a place to have a drink. I walked into the luxurious Zhuangyuan Building unknowingly. After looking around, I suddenly remembered that I was short of money, so I pretended to be looking for someone to cover up my embarrassment. I just thought

As he exited, he was stopped by An Yi. Seeing An Yi being so protective and caring, why didn't Dai Li feel moved?

After drinking for three rounds, everyone unconsciously started talking about the war on the front line. Li Zhifan sincerely admired An Yi's military talent. After talking about the independent division, he transferred to the Seventh Army. They continued talking until the wine was half drunk, and their interest in each other continued.

After Li Zhifan praised Li Zongren's brilliance and martial arts, he sighed with deep injustice: "General An is really wronged! Since ancient times, all talents have suffered hardships. In terms of General An's extraordinary experience and illustrious military exploits, he should have been on his own and enjoy his life long ago.
