Chapter 7 The Phoenix and the Pheasant

A small-scale Sino-Japanese war that took place in the "Ghost Mansion" ended in a tragic victory for China. Ouyang Yun was lucky enough to be the last oriole to appear. Thinking about it later, he regretted not attacking earlier and sacrificing several people in vain.

Compatriots, but then consider that these compatriots came with the purpose of killing others, which is a good reason to comfort themselves.

The car at the door belonged to a Japanese. What Ouyang Yun was most worried about was that one of them escaped and exposed the secret of the "ghost house". He wanted to inquire about it and confirmed that it was parked there early in the morning. Thinking about the five big men on the other side, it happened to be crowded.

There was a car. There must have been no one left last night. There was nothing to be polite about with the Japanese, so he naturally accepted the old Ford with a smile.

The neighbors had heard about the ghost house for a long time, and were very worried about a young man who dared to serve ghosts alone. The kind-hearted uncle and aunt suggested hiring a master to exorcise evil spirits, and introduced a large number of fake monks and Taoist priests. Ouyang Yun was joking

, told them: There is indeed a ghost in the house, but I have agreed with them that everyone should live in peace and harmony. Many of the uncles and aunties have been frightened by the "hanged ghost" played by Bai Liusu, and they sounded old.

He turned pale and murmured for a while, thinking that maybe the young man had a strong yang energy, so ghosts didn't dare to get on him. An old man even asked smartly: "Young man, are you still a virgin?" This made him dumbfounded.

The car couldn't drive into the yard, so Ouyang Yun drove it to an alley and hid it. When he went back, he saw that Bai Liusu was sleeping soundly and did not wake her up. What happened last night obviously hit her hard, her face was

There were still tears on her face, and the sheets under her cheeks were wet. It seemed that she had been crying for a long time even in her dream. Looking at the scar on her face, she imagined if she could lift it off like an earthworm.

He sighed softly.

God is always unfair, or the world is inherently unpredictable, so before the early Qing Dynasty, the land of China always regarded itself as a kingdom of heaven, and the emperor was called the Son of Heaven. But starting from the late Qing Dynasty, the world turned upside down, not to mention the so-called barbarians in the West, that is, Japan

This small country can actually ride on the head of a giant and dominate. If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and even Genghis Khan were alive in heaven, I don’t know how they would feel!

The girl in front of me was so gorgeous before she had the scar on her face. She made many girls envious and aroused a few lovesicknesses from the opposite sex. But a scar made all of this go away from her. Now she is called a girl without salt.

I guess even the original unsalted girls have opinions: It’s good that we are ugly, but that’s because of our parents, so what does it mean to her? We’ve just acquired it because we didn’t take good care of it.

Putting the soy milk and steamed buns beside the bed, he was about to leave when Bai Liusu opened his eyes.

He said softly: "Promise me not to run around, and I will help you untie the rope."

She moved her eyes away from the soy milk. The confusion and sadness inside were gone, leaving only deliberate hatred: "I won't run around, but I will kill you!"

"Yes, as long as you are capable enough." He helped her untie the ropes, gathered all the corpses into the main room, and then covered the corpses of those compatriots with the sheets on his bed. Then, he put the sacks and wooden boxes

Put it back in the cellar and close the closet.

Bai Liusu watched all this coldly, put his left hand into his waist several times, and finally took it out again. Finally, with a faint sigh, he picked up the bowl with his left hand, picked up the chopsticks with his right hand, picked up a bun, and started breakfast.

"We buried them in the evening." Ouyang Yun sat down on a chair and quietly watched her finish her breakfast.

Bai Liusu's eyes fell on Shen Jian, and her eyelids became increasingly red and swollen. She rubbed them vigorously to hold back tears.

Ouyang Yun looked at the tears on the sheets and thought to herself that women are really made of water. The tears were as deep as the sea. He stood up and walked out. At this time, letting her cry for a while would be beneficial to her mental health.

harmless.

"Thank you for the breakfast." Bai Liusu said, closing the door with a bang.

Ouyang Yun smiled, feeling more confident about winning the jackpot - he was determined to get that money, not to buy a supercomputer or to build a Hope Primary School, but just to drive away the Japanese.

After fighting in the early hours of this morning and killing several Japanese, he finally understood the true intentions of the two old men, and finally understood what he should do and what he could do.

Lying on the bed, he was not sleepy at all. He took out his handheld computer and started checking it slowly.

First adjust the search date. On April 25, 1935, press the confirm button, and the cultural and historical records in the form of a log will appear on the screen. At this time, Peiping was still in the hands of the National Government as a special city, and the garrison was headed by Jiang Xiaoxian.

The Third Military Police Regiment. However, with the imminent signing of the Ho-Mei Agreement, the Third Military Police Regiment and the 51st Army of the Northeast Military Headquarters stationed in Tianjin, the Second Division and the Second Division of the Central Army stationed elsewhere in Hebei

The 15th Division will evacuate along with all the Kuomintang agencies. At that time, Song Zheyuan's 29th Army will enter Hebei at the invitation of the Peking Army Branch and become the de facto master of the Pingjin area. From then on, until the July 7th Incident, Peiping will have a rare period.

period of calm.

At the beginning of the July 7th Incident, the Japanese army did not have the upper hand in the Beiping area. If Zhao Dengyu's troops could wipe out all the besieged Japanese troops at that time, the Marco Polo Bridge would not have been lost. Then which fork in the road would history take?

According to the historical data recorded in the notebook, the Ping-Tianjin war triggered by the July 7th Incident ended with the Kuomintang’s 29th Army withdrawing from Hebei and abandoning Ping-Tianjin. To sum up, China’s failure was certainly due to strength, but the decisive factor can be attributed to

Of the two people, one was Song Zheyuan, the commander of the 29th Army, and the other was Pan Yugui, the director of Song's Political Affairs Department.

History still speaks highly of the Song Dynasty - the famous anti-Japanese generals said that they were accomplished in military matters and in managing people's livelihood, but this is not necessarily true. In the Battle of Xifengkou, the 29th Army did show its backbone and majesty.

, at that time, it was not an exaggeration to call Song Zheyuan a famous anti-Japanese general. But since he entered Chahar, the aura of this famous anti-Japanese general has been somewhat eclipsed.

However, if you carefully read the growth history of the Song Dynasty and the 29th Army, it is not difficult to understand why he experienced such a change. The formation of the 29th Army after the Central Plains War was the reintegration of the disabled Northwest Army. It is precisely because

After experiencing the Great War in the Central Plains, Song Dynasty deeply understood the suffering that civil war brought to the country and the people. Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of the army, he clearly put forward the slogan "not to fight civil war, but to open the gun to the outside world", which was unanimously supported by his generals. Later,

Chairman Chiang Kai-shek tried several times to mobilize the 29th Army to go south to suppress the Communists, but the Song Dynasty used various reasons to shirk it. And precisely because he was extremely wary of Chiang's ability to turn his hands into clouds and rain during the warlord melee, Song Dynasty was extremely wary of Chiang Kai-shek's ability to control the situation.

The Nationalist Government had always been suspicious, which affected many of his future important decisions and was also the main reason for making false concessions to the Japanese during the Chahar and Peking administrations.

Because it was not a direct unit of Chiang Kai-shek, the 29th Army encountered many difficulties in terms of military expenses and equipment when it was first established. Life was extremely difficult. The soldiers were all in ragged clothes and looked like beggars. They even had to go to Chahar at night when they were moving to the defense.

When marching, they were afraid of being seen by ordinary people as bandits during the day and frightening the people. Therefore, cold weapons such as broadswords became a must-have equipment for the 29th Army. Therefore, the 29th Army’s broadsword tactics are not so much the innovation of Song Zheyuan.

It is said that it was his helpless move. It is also a strange thing that the 29th Army achieved great fame with its machete in the Xifengkou victory.

The situation of the 29th Army did not improve until it moved to Chahar in 1932. Song Zheyuan was appointed chairman of Chahar Province, and the 29th Army finally got a piece of land to recuperate.

Half a year later, the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War broke out. The 29th Army fought a bloody battle with the Japanese Suzuki and Hattori Brigade at Xifengkou. They used machetes and grenades to fight against the Japanese advanced weapons and annihilated 5,000 enemies. They became famous in the first battle, but suffered more than 10,000 casualties themselves.

Injured. However, because the People's Anti-Japanese Allied Army organized by Feng Yuxiang in Chahar was banned by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and had to be disbanded, the 29th Army was able to gain new life with the wisdom of others - the entire army expanded to four divisions with more than 60,000 troops.

At the same time, it also received a large number of weapons and equipment from the Anti-Alliance, including more than 30 mountain cannons from the Tang Yulin Department of the former Northeastern Army. Only then did it truly become a military force capable of controlling the situation in North China.

That period was also the most glorious day for Song Zheyuan and the 29th Army. As the news film recording the Xifengkou battle of the 29th Army was broadcast in major cities across the country, composer Mai Xin also specially composed the "March of the Broadsword" for this purpose.

The Broadsword Team and Song Zheyuan became famous all over the world.

Precisely because of the huge contrast between before and after, Song deeply understood the role of a piece of territory in stabilizing an army, so he kept his tail between the direct line of the Kuomintang and the Japanese, hoping to keep his own territory.

However, God's calculations are not as good as those of man. The Japanese are too ambitious, and the Nationalist Government is incompetent.

After the July 7th Incident, Song pinned his hopes on a political solution to preserve the last territory of the 29th Army. Therefore, even though the military clearly had the upper hand, he still compromised blindly and sent his aide Pan Yugui and the then Japanese commander of the North China Garrison Xiang Yue.

Kiyoshi communicates.

Pan Yugui was an out-and-out traitor. He betrayed the Song Dynasty at a critical moment, allowing the 29th Army to be completely controlled by the Japanese army. As a result, in the subsequent Battle of Nanyuan, the 29th Army was passive and lagged behind in recruitment, and was defeated in the North China War.

It is inevitable...

"Pan Yugui! Pan Yugui..." Ouyang Yun whispered the traitor's name several times, with murderous intent in his heart. If Pan Yugui was killed now, would the history of the 29th Army be rewritten? No, it's not that simple. As long as Song Zheyuan

If you only want a "political solution", then the second and third Pan Yugui will appear. Kill Song Zheyuan? This is not a result that this little butterfly can bear. If the 29th Army splits, then——

He closed the computer, took out a cigarette and lit it, took two puffs, and then coughed violently. This cigarette was sold at street stalls today, and was incomparable to similar products in the 21st century. It choked to death.

Shaking the cigarette away fiercely, Ouyang Yun began to smile bitterly: Why are you thinking so much? Just take it one step at a time. What can a little butterfly do? Sleep!

"Brother, I often hear you recite Li Bai's "Quiet Night Thoughts", but I never quite understand it. Now, now I understand... There is bright moonlight in front of the bed, and I suspect it is frost on the ground. I look up at the bright moon, and lower my head to miss my hometown. Brother, you

Have you long expected that such a day will happen. We wanderers from Sichuan will eventually be buried in a foreign land... I will bury you here so that you can see the moonlight often. Fortunately for you, there are mice and blind bears accompanying you, but

Leave me alone..." Bai Liusu said quietly while sitting on a piece of new soil in front of the window, looking up at the moon in the night sky that was rounder than last night.

Ouyang Yun opened his eyes in a daze, shook his heavy head, touched his right hand on the bed, and found nothing. He was startled and sat up. The moonlight was very bright, and through the window, the objects on the bed were vaguely visible.

There is no shortage, only a laptop is missing.

"Why did I sleep for so long? It must be Wuyan Girl's fault. Hey, why am I so careless? This girl is originally a female ghost!" Thinking like this, he felt so angry that he didn't even wear any shoes and jumped up.

When I arrived at the door of the room, I heard her whispering, and thought to myself that I didn't expect this woman to like Fengyue. Remembering that she was feeling sad, I sighed, walked to the door, and sat down on the threshold.

There are three new graves in the yard. There are small wooden signs in front of the graves, and paper flags are floating on the graves. They look faint and spiritual under the moonlight. This yard was originally said to be a "ghost house", but now there are many more.

With three new tombs, the house lived up to its name. He looked at the main room and saw it was empty. He was a little surprised and asked, "Where are those Japanese devils?"

"In the latrine!"

"Mother pit, sister, you are cruel!" Ouyang Yun gave a thumbs up and walked towards the manhole, thinking that he still had to bury it. It would always be troublesome if he was exposed. When he got there, he didn't see the body. "Did he really throw it into the manhole?"

"kindness."

"Is this pit very deep?"

"Being transformed by me."

"Cremated?"

"I used bone erosion powder, do you want some?"

"Bone erosion powder?" This seemed to be something only found in martial arts novels. Ouyang Yun had always thought that the author had made it up, but now he knew that this vicious thing actually existed. He couldn't help but shuddered, "No, no,

You can keep it for yourself. By the way, where is my notebook?"

"What notebook?"

"It's just a plastic box."

"I took it."

"Oh." For some reason, Ouyang Yun breathed a sigh of relief after confirming this, "Give it back to me. If you are interested, I can teach you how to use it."

"Well, it's very expensive, isn't it?" Bai Liusu's voice was rustling and magnetic, and it sounded very comfortable, although it always gave people a cold feeling.

"Of course, a priceless treasure!" Ouyang Yun said proudly, and immediately regretted it because he saw her take it out from the soil next to the tomb where the wooden sign said "Eldest Brother Shen Jian's Tomb", wipe it and put it into his arms.

inside.

"What the hell, you're going whoring to me?! Fortunately, I'm not a big girl, otherwise your belly would be full of whoring!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?! Do you still want this thing?" Bai Liusu was so angry that the earthworms on his face began to squirm, looking very murderous!

"No more." Not knowing what she wanted to exchange, Ouyang Yun first lowered the price.

"No?" Bai Liusu blinked, a little surprised.

Ouyang Yun turned around and walked into the house, "Hey, I slept for so long this time." He opened his mouth, revealing two rows of big white teeth, and said in his heart that he wanted to trick me, huh, no way.

"Then I'll throw it into the latrine." Bai Liusu said lightly, and his body moved lightly.

Ouyang Yun was shocked and blurted out "No". He turned around and saw the corner of the girl's mouth raised, showing her first smile since they met. He knew he had been fooled and couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "I can't tell, you are actually a good negotiator.

, tell me, what is the exchange?"

"Help me send all the sacks and wooden boxes to Nanjing." Bai Liusu said, taking out his notebook and adding: "If you don't agree, I will throw them into the pit immediately."

The notebook cannot get into water. If it is thrown into a pit, it will be useless. In desperation, he said: "I promise you."

"Well, when you deliver the things, I will give you this box."

"Really?" He grinned, flicked his right hand, and the steel needle flew out.

When Bai Liusu saw his smile, she felt something was wrong. She quickly moved back, but a little slower. A flash of white light pierced her waist. She only had time to curse the word "despicable", and she immediately fell weak and lost.

perception.

A few minutes later, Bai Liusu opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed, moving his hands and feet very freely. To his unexpected surprise, he jumped out of bed and felt that the weapon was still there. He couldn't help but be overjoyed: He thought that the traitor was careless, but he didn't.

I searched for my weapons. I held a dagger in my right hand and a throwing knife in my left hand, and walked slowly to the window.

The night was already deep, the moon was getting brighter and brighter, and insects were chirping heavily. Under the moonlight, incense was burning in front of the three new tombs. Ouyang Yun stood upright in front of Shen Jian's tomb, saluting the military salute: "...Be born to be a hero.

Death is also a ghost. Brother Shen Jian, please relax, I will take care of your sister, and I will complete your unfinished business. Have a good journey!"

Bai Liusu was filled with hatred and wanted to chop him alive before she was willing to do it. Seeing him like this, she became a little confused: "You will be a hero in life, and you will be a hero in death-" She chanted softly, feeling a little crazy for a moment.

Ouyang Yun sincerely paid tribute to the martyrs without too many twists and turns. When he saw her, he said sincerely: "Miss Shen, I'm really sorry for lying to you just now, but this box is really important to me, so -

—”

"My surname is Bai, not Shen. Your name is Ouyang Yun, right?"

"yes."

"Does what you just said to my brother mean?"

"Of course, people can bully others, but they can't bully ghosts. Besides, Brother Shen is still a good ghost!"

"Okay, please send these sacks and wooden boxes to Nanjing." Bai Liusu said, looking at him unblinkingly, like two pools of moonlight on the river, very clear and cold.

.

Ouyang Yun smiled, and sighed more and more in his heart: If it weren't for that earthworm, just such a pair of eyes would charm many men to death? "Miss Bai, I think you misunderstood me. I don't think Brother Shen's career is just

Sending these things to Nanjing, don’t you still know about his grand ideals to this day? It’s a shame that you stayed with him for so many years.”

Bai Liusu thought for a while, the color in her eyes darkened, then brightened, and her tone became cold: "Do you want to cheat? Or are you interested in the wealth-" Her voice suddenly became sharp: "If it weren't for you

How could my eldest brother die while spying on these wealth?! Evil thief, try to take my brother's life!" He squatted down, jumped out of the window with both feet and rushed toward him. He shook his left hand in mid-air and shot a flying knife towards his heart.

, the dagger in his right hand followed up and stabbed him.

The two of them were only a grave apart. Ouyang Yun was caught off guard and was hit by flying knives and daggers at the same time. If he didn't have a body armor, he would probably have two more holes in his body immediately - even so, his chest hurt terribly. , this really aroused his anger - no matter how good his temper was, he couldn't stand up to the woman's provocation over and over again, so he couldn't help but shout: "You woman is so unreasonable!" He took advantage of her being stunned. , grabbed her right wrist, bent his left knee, and pushed it against her abdomen.

Bai Liusu obviously didn't expect that even with all his strength, he couldn't poke him. The two legendary terms "Vajra Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt" flashed through his mind. He was stunned for a moment and forgot to resist.

Ouyang Yun was not polite to her, put her down on the ground, kicked the dagger away, quickly pulled out his belt, tied her hands together, and said: "I have requisitioned that batch of stolen money!"

Bai Liusu sat on the ground and looked at him bitterly: "Kill me, otherwise, one day, I will take revenge."

"Stupid woman, if you are not afraid that your eldest brother will die underground, you can try it."

Thinking of Shen Jian, the girl was silent. She was just confused for a moment, or she was hit too hard and didn't want to think too much. Thinking deeply, she also knew that her eldest brother's enemy was actually dead.

"Woman, you have two choices now, leave, or follow me and kill the Japanese."

The businesswoman raised her head and looked at her with complicated eyes: "What part are you from? The Communist Party?"

Ouyang Yun shook his head and asked, "Are you from the Kuomintang?"

The woman hesitated for a while and said: "Phoenix, the agent of the Peking branch of the Blue Clothes Club, how about you?" She thought: Could it be a colleague?

"Blue Clothes Club?" Ouyang Yun blinked a few times and rushed into his room. A few minutes later, after obtaining detailed information from the computer, he came out and said: "It's funny. Didn't you overcome the crisis of Japanese invasion and stop the corruption of the Kuomintang? 'Is it for your own good? Why have you become a thief now?! 'Blue Clothes Club', let me tell you, why are everyone dressed in blue clothes and blue trousers."

"You are the thief, we are raising money for the 'Second Revolution'."

"Cutting down vassals to unify the country, reorganizing the military to fight the war, banning smoking, fighting corruption, and revitalizing the countryside——"

Bai Liusu was surprised to hear him read out the purpose of the "Second Revolution" and asked with some fear: "Who are you?"

Ouyang Yun touched his chin, and there were some hairy whiskers growing there. The information on the "Blue Clothes Club" on the computer gave him a good impression. If the "Blue Clothes Club" could really become big among the Kuomintang, it would be a good idea to fight against Japan. Maybe this is a good thing. The problem is that the "Blue Shirt Society" was born out of the German "Black Shirt Party" and promotes leader worship. Chairman Chiang has too much influence in it. If he cooperates with the "Blue Shirt Society", will it be possible? Indirectly helped Chiang Kai-shek?

Bai Liusu looked at him eagerly, and suddenly remembered that Shen Jian had said that the headquarters would send someone to accept this batch of property recently. Could it be that Ouyang Yun is the special commissioner? So he suddenly chanted: "But I am sad that I am not the same as Jiuzhou."

This is a poem from Lu You's "Shi'er". It is exactly the secret code they agreed on. If Ouyang Yun is really a special commissioner, he should answer "Don't forget to tell Naiweng about family sacrifices." "Blue Clothes Society" chose these two sentences. As a connecting code, the poem is well-intentioned. If it is an impostor, most of them will follow the original sentence and answer "Wang Shibei sets the day for the Central Plains". A smarter person may answer "I will know that everything is futile until I die."

Ouyang Yun won the prize again. Having participated in special counter-espionage training, he immediately realized that there was something in Bai Liusu's words. However, Du Fu had forgotten everything about Du Fu's poem. He opened his mouth to pick up the next sentence, and the result came out. But it was the last sentence: "Don't forget to tell Naiweng when you have family sacrifices."

The secret code was matched, and Bai Liusu, who had been in melancholy, once again showed a faint joy, "Pheasant!"

Pheasant?! Ouyang Yun almost collapsed when he heard this code name. Hey, consider yourself unlucky, he said: "Phoenix?!" He stepped forward, helped her untie her belt, and helped her up.

"It would have been better if you had come a few days earlier." Bai Liusu said melancholy while looking at Shen Jian's tomb quietly.

Patting her on the shoulder, he said: "Sorry, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard! There are more things waiting for us to do."

"Where is your ID? I'll give it to you after final confirmation."

"lost."

"Lost?" Bai Liusu turned to look at him, eyes wide.

Ouyang Yun did not panic and said tentatively: "You can send a telegram back to the headquarters to confirm."

Bai Liusu frowned. In North China, Tianjin was the main area of ​​activity and there were radio stations there, but not in Peiping. She doubted his identity again.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ouyang Yun hurriedly said: "You have seen Chen Jiayao. As soon as she arrived in Peiping, she was kidnapped. In order to save her, the result was..."

She had heard about this before, and after thinking about it, she asked: "When you come here, does the leader have anything to say?"

Ouyang Yun did not answer. There is this article in the counterintelligence manual: When you are not sure whether a question is true or false, try to remain silent.

This question was indeed used by Bai Liusu to continue to test him. There is no such person as a leader in the "Blue Clothes Club". Maybe she has not recovered from the sadness of losing her beloved, maybe she is too tired, so Instead of getting entangled in Ouyang Yun's identity, she decided to leave. The reason why she joined the "Blue Clothes Club" was because of Shen Jian. Now that Shen Jian is dead, she has no reason to stay. "Pheasant, I'll leave this to you." After saying that, she walked into the room.
