Si Xingpei is well informed. "

...... Chen Ding gave up the team of 30,000 people and ran away with his wife, leaving the 30,000 soldiers as prisoners. "Si Xingpei said, "Nanjing must kill him. "

Yan Ziqing was shocked: "This bastard!"

Si Xingpei smoked silently, feeling very uncomfortable. "

Why did you suddenly ask him? Si Xingpei was silent for a while, then asked Yan Ziqing.

Ziqing said, "His wife is Qizhen's friend. Mrs. Chen sent a telegram to Qizhen, saying that Chen Ding wants our family to protect him."

Si Xingpei tried his best to get his emotions out.

He gave up Yuecheng and Hepingcheng more than ten years ago, and now it doesn't matter to him whether the people there are good or bad. new

Singapore is his new home. Therefore

And he said calmly and objectively, "Then knock him a sum of money."

Yan Ziqing was silent for a moment: "Can this kind of person be accepted?"

"Do you take Nanjing's salary?" Si Xingpei was in a bad mood. "What's the matter with you? It's an internal government affair." Yan

Ziqing: "..."

He always felt that Si Xingpei spoke like a prank. also

Xu, Si Xingpei was annoyed that those things had nothing to do with him, and he had no position to intervene. color

Ziqing hung up the phone. Xu

Qizhen asked Yan Ziqing again what happened. have to

Knowing that Chen Ding had committed such a big thing, Xu Qizhen's heart sank, thinking that Mrs. Chen and Jin Shu would not end well. Her heart was heavy, and she didn't dare to give up her thoughts.

"That's fine." Xu Qizhen said, "He made a big mistake."

Four days later, during breakfast, the servant came in and said that a group of people had come to the door, and the wife had come to defect.

Xu Qizhen shuddered. No

Could it be the Chen family? she

It's not long since I received the telegram, how come it is so fast? "

who is it? "Xu Qizhen stood up slowly.

Humanity: "There are old and young, and there are a few young men who are like followers." Xu

Qizhen looked at Yan Ziqing.

Yan Ziqing said: "Why don't you hide first, I'll go take a look. I'm not familiar with the Chen family, it's easy to say whether I turn my face or accept it." Xu

Qizhen nodded. color

After Ziqing left, it took about two hours to return. Xu

Qizhen was restless, wondering why Yan Ziqing had been away for so long.

"It was Chen Ding who brought the whole family. They only sent you a telegram after they escaped. Qizhen, I asked them to stay there, saying that you just went to a friend's house, and you will say Come back." Yan Ziqing said. Xu

Qi Zhen quickly grabbed his hand: "How about Jin Shu?" Yan

Ziqing looked at Xu Qizhen and thought of Mrs. Chen again: "How much older is she than you?"

"Two years younger than me."

"Then you will be surprised when you look back. She looks more than ten years older than you, and her hair is half white." Yan Ziqing said.

Xu Qizhen was only in her forties.

The noble ladies of big families like them usually spend money on maintenance, so they shouldn't be very old in their forties. Xu Qizhen is okay, but Gu Qingzhou's maintenance is more skillful. She walks with Yuzao, always like a slightly older sister with her younger sister.

"Isn't it?" Xu Qizhen said, "Don't talk nonsense just to elevate me."

Yan Ziqing said, "Then go back and see for yourself to see if I lied."

Xu Qizhen thought, now that they are settled, then wait for them to rest before going out.

She chatted with Yan Ziqing and asked him why he was willing to settle the Chen family.

"Here." Yan Ziqing took out a check.

Xu Qizhen glanced at it, it was a check from a British bank, and it was worth two million pounds. "

so much money? She was surprised, "Chen Ding gave it to you?" ""

Yes, he asked me to keep his family safe. He said he had fled for a reason. The war is already unwinnable, and if it goes on, there will be more casualties, not only soldiers, but also hundreds of thousands of innocent people in the city.

He told me that the other general sent him to contact him and promised not to slaughter the city or kill any prisoners, so he abandoned the city and fled. "Yan Ziqing said.

Xu Qizhen listened, and her expression floated a little in approval: "Then he's not so unbearable..." Yan

Ziqing disagreed: "After he abandoned the city, the other general didn't massacre the city or kill the prisoners. This is true. But why he fled at that time may not be as glorious as he said. , and because the result of this matter is not bad, I am elevating myself like this." Xu

Qizhen nodded.

If Chen Ding really has a mind of half dividing the country and the people, he will not just walk away. put

With so many lives at risk, does he really believe the other party's words?

"He is guilty." Yan Ziqing said, "For the Nanjing government, he is indeed a capital crime. But from the perspective of ordinary people, he did not cause a great crime. After all, both the prisoners and the common people survived."

Xu Qizhen hummed.

"He gave me another two million pounds." Yan Ziqing smiled, "Apart from the Si family, Nanyang is the only one who can protect him. Why don't you want the money from the bastard?"

Xu Qizhen glanced at Yan Ziqing helplessly: "Did you learn from Si Shizuo badly?"

Yan Ziqing: "..." Yan

The family promises that as long as Chen Ding does not leave Singapore, the Yan family will protect their safety.

Yan Ziqing didn't need to send someone to stare at Chen Ding, he only needed to let out the wind and say that this person was covered by the Yan family. Gangs or killers in Nanyang naturally dare not come to the door, and killers or spies from other places, as long as they step into this land, will naturally have local people with eyes and hands to report the news.

Xu Qizhen did not go to see her best friend until evening, pretending that she had just returned from going out.

When she saw Mrs. Chen Jin Shu, she was also startled.

Mrs. Chen was two years younger than Xu Qizhen, but she looked like someone in her sixties with gray hair. She was a little plump when she was young, but now she is so skinny that the skin on her face is loose and wrinkled.

Xu Qizhen's tears almost fell.

"...Jin Shu, what's wrong with you?" Her voice froze, not knowing what to say for a while.

Jin Shu took Xu Qizhen's hand and said, "Qizhen, we haven't seen each other for many years. I've been sick all these years, and it's not getting better. It looks like it won't work. You're okay, very healthy and young."

It's good for a sick person to look like this. stale

The wife is very lucky. she

Not enough breath to speak, I still shouted outside: "Sushang."

A young girl came in. Female

The child with delicate eyebrows, wearing a long white dress and short hair, stood in front of Mrs. Chen and Xu Qizhen smartly. "

This is my daughter. Mrs. Chen smiled at Xu Qizhen, "Sushang, this is your aunt Qizhen, I told you. "Xu

Qi Zhen was stunned. forward

For a while, Xu Qizhen and her sister Xu Qiongzhen chatted about Jin Shu, only to know that she had two sons, one died at an early age, and the other died in the war of resistance three years ago.

Never heard of her having a daughter. and

This girl is nothing like Jin Shu.

"Auntie." The girl respectfully addressed Xu Qizhen. Xu

Qizhen returned to her senses and smiled slightly: "Your name...Which two words come from?"

"Sushang." The girl said, "'The Book of Rites. Yueling says, Meng Qiuzhi's moon, its sound business', I came to my mother's side on the fourth day of the seventh lunar month, which happened to be the beginning of autumn, which served as my birthday. , so it is called Sushang, and Sushang is the Autumn Order."

Xu Qizhen looked at Jin Shu.

Jin Shu has been reading poetry and books since she was a child, which is like the name she took. "

I forgot to tell you that this is my adopted daughter. "Jin Shu took Chen Sushang's hand, "It's been ten years. I am lucky to have her as my companion. "

The communication between Jin Shu and Xu Qizhen has always been by telegram, only once a year and a half.

Every word of the telegram requires money, and Jin Shu's adoption of a daughter cannot be explained in a few sentences, so it's not too late to mention it when we meet in the future.

Xu Qizhen looked at Chen Sushang, saw that she was born Zhou Zheng, and couldn't help but think of her son Yan Kai.

"Sushang, how old are you?" Xu Qizhen asked. "

I have no idea. "Chen Sushang smiled embarrassedly.

Jin Shu said: "She should be eighteen. When she came to my house, she looked seven or eight years old. We couldn't estimate her age, so we calculated her as eight years old. Now it's ten years. "
