Age of Rebirth

380 Chapter Six

The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the land of gold powder, has its own prosperity, and in addition to the fact that the Republic of China established its capital here, it is the first good place, political and economic center, for the face of the national government, Nanjing's urban construction is better than other cities Many, of course, compared with the big Shanghai of Shiliyangchang, it has a little less foreign style and a little more luxury and solemnity of the imperial capital.

Thousands of miles of Yangtze River pass by around the city, the head of Jinling city, witnessed how many king flags rising and falling, the wind in winter, less the harshness of the north, more gentleness of the south of the Yangtze River, even more frozen, the streets of Jinling are swaying slowly For pollen, you only need to wear a thick shirt to keep a little bit of coldness out of your body.

The banks of the Qinhuai River are already a lively place. At night, there are many pedestrians, and it is even more bustling and noisy. The sound of silk and bamboo, the flickering lights, and the rippling waters of the flower boats. The young and charming sister, Luo Pa lightly covered her red lips, from time to time. Pedestrians passing by, regardless of their winking eyes, if the young Jiajun passed by, they would even laugh coquettishly.

In the air, there is a strong fragrance of fat powder, which adds a lot of mundane meaning to the Qinhuai River in this winter, a school of prosperity and prosperity of fat powder bamboo, but, among the pedestrians who come and go, how many people can think of the north, The Japanese wolf, which has shown its ferocious sharp teeth, is salivating and greedily watching the great rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River. [

In the shadow of oars and lights, a small boat with a plain flower shed, paddles gently, roams on the Qinhuai River, as leisurely as a spring evening walk.

Tang Qiuli looked at the river with great interest, the red lanterns hanging high, and the flower boats shuttling back and forth. His mind was full of troop deployment, sticking to key points, etc. It was rare for him to abandon his business and be a leisurely tourist on the Qinhuai River.

The young man's heart was stimulated, and he carefully watched every passing flower boat with great interest. On those flower boats, the girls dressed up in fancy clothes, seeing such a handsome brother, with an extraordinary demeanor, there is a sense of worldly beauty. Rare clarity and nobility.

Because Mei Ting was in the cabin, these sisters thought that the young man was alone, so they all urged the flower boat to come to the plain flower shed boat that Tang Qiuli was riding on, and it was rare to see the handsome brother. , It is also worth posting.

There were two flower boats, because they couldn't dodge in time, they collided with each other, and the girls on the boat fell into a ball, turning red and green, and scattered hairpins, so they quarreled, Wu's voice was soft, and the quarrel was not like that in the north. The voice is thick and loud, full of murderous intent, and has a special charm.

Tang Qiuli was overjoyed, and called Mei Ting repeatedly. After calling a few times, Mei Ting didn't respond. He turned around strangely. , didn't realize that Tang Qiuli was calling her.

It wasn't until Tang Qiuli's big hand touched her round shoulders that Mei Ting turned her head in surprise as if waking up from a dream, and there was still a faint trance in her bright eyes like autumn water.

Mei Ting stepped forward, and gently leaned against Tang Qiuli's chest, her voice sounded faintly as if coming from the sky, "Qiuli, I want to go home and visit my parents, can you go back with me?"

Tang Qiuli was relieved. It turned out that this girl was homesick. He smiled and patted Mei Ting's head, "Silly girl, I have punished the big girl Huanghua, and I have to explain to my parents. Don't wait for my father-in-law , come to the door with a pistol, how passive is that!"

Mei Ting was so embarrassed that she got angry and rushed forward to pinch Tang Qiuli. The two laughed and made a fuss. The tense atmosphere disappeared, and the boat shook violently. , Watching the play between the young couple.

Between the brows, there is some leisurely aftertaste, maybe recalling the scenery when I was young, but it is also so charming. This man and woman are generous, and they gave her enough money for the boat for three days at one time, and their attitude is very kind. The guests are rare!

Tang Qiuli suddenly remembered that he knew nothing about Mei Ting's family background, and had never asked about it. Mei Ting saw Tang Qiuli's confusion, took his hand, sat on the mat, and said Tell him about your family history.

The Mei family is a well-known family in the south of the Yangtze River, with generations of scholars. Several generations have produced civil servants and military generals. In his father's generation, because when the old man was young, he went to Japan to seek the truth of saving the country. In Japan, he met Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing. After waiting for some revolutionaries, they joined the Revolutionary Party. The Wuchang Uprising overthrew the Manchu Qing emperor and established the Republic of China.

The old man served as a warlord for one term. He was a contemporaneous figure with Sun Yat-sen, the father of the country, and one of the veterans of [-]. Counting it, Chairman Jiang must be a junior.

The old man is upright and upright, and can't tolerate any dirt. Such a person is not suitable for rolling in officialdom. In the end, the old man hung his seal and gold, resigned angrily, and returned to his hometown in Moling, not far from Nanjing, and vowed never to resign. To be an official.

Pinning her hopes on the younger generation, Mei Ting has a younger sister and a younger brother. The younger sister is only 20 years old and is studying at Jinling Women's University. The younger brother is the youngest and has not yet graduated from junior high school.

After Mei Ting graduated from university, she aspired to join the army. The old man resisted all opinions and strongly supported her. By mistake, Mei Ting applied for the special agent training class held by the Military Command Bureau and graduated with honors.

This was completely different from the old man's original intention. He couldn't accept it no matter what. His own daughter was an agent, and the military command bureau at that time didn't have a good reputation.

The old man gave Mei Ting two ways out, one is to leave the military command system and join the regular army, the other is to stop going to this house and continue to be your agent. [

But the family rules of the military command do not mean that you can leave if you can leave. If you step into this door, you will never turn back. Mei Ting had to leave home sadly, and put all her energy into her work. One of the few senior agents within the Military Command.

At the same time, Mei Ting also kept her feelings cold and dusty, and threw herself into work crazily. She is in her twenties, at a flowery age. Xin Xin, within the Military Control Bureau, gradually won the nickname of Iron Rose.

It wasn't until she was ordered to go to Pingjin and met Tang Qiuli, the doomed nemesis, that she lost herself and indulged in the love entrusted by her life. Counting, Mei Ting hadn't visited the house for three to five years. The situation at home , all obtained through correspondence with my younger sister Mei Xue.

After Mei Ting finished speaking, she sighed faintly, and tapped Tang Qiuli's forehead lightly, as if blaming him for not caring about herself. Since arriving in Nanjing, Mei Ting's homesickness has become more and more serious day by day.

Only then did Tang Qiuli know that Mei Ting still had such a prominent family background, and under her tough exterior, her sad heart also blamed herself for not caring enough about this girl. Brighten up like the sun.

Speaking of which, Mei Ting dared to make up her mind to go home and visit her parents whom she had not seen for many years, thanks to Boss Dai Lidai.

That day, Tang Qiuli and Mei Ting came out of the military committee building and were about to go back to the hotel. After a busy day, he was a little dizzy. He heard someone calling him. When he looked back, it was Dai Li chasing him from behind.

He was very surprised, this Boss Dai, everyone usually respects him at a distance, avoiding him, and being approached by him would be somewhat troublesome, now, why is he calling himself to stop him?

When Dai Li trotted back this time, he first gave a solemn military salute: "Vice Chairman Tang, please stay a little longer. I have a gift for you from this humble position." After speaking, he handed Tang Qiuli a thick file bag, saluted and left. Before leaving, he took a meaningful look at Tang Qiuli, and there was a sense of gratitude and congeniality in his eyes.

Boss Dai, the number one figure in the Military Control Bureau, made the move. This gift must not be an ordinary one. Mei Ting also poked her head curiously. Today, Director Dai feels strange, and even greeted herself politely. Never had.

Open the file bag, the top one is a transfer order issued by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, the content is to transfer Mei Ting, the former Colonel of the Military Control Bureau, to serve in the Northern Army Branch of the Military Committee. The position of this officer will be arranged by Vice Chairman Tang as appropriate From the date of the transfer order, Colonel Mei Ting immediately handed over all the duties and business of the former Military Control Bureau.

The following is a thick file, from the time Mei Ting entered the training class of the Military Command Bureau, all the records, this transfer order and files, mean that since then, Mei Ting has officially left the Military Command Bureau system, and has nothing to do with them relationship, officially under the jurisdiction of Tang Qiuli.

Mei Ting looked at the things in her hands in disbelief. It was her dream to be able to escape from the Military Command Bureau system. Today, such a thing fell from the sky, and her dream became a reality. She had an urge to cry. Her identity, To make myself unable to face my father, I have not visited the house for many years.

Tang Qiuli secretly praised Dai Li for being well-behaved and sophisticated. He did a beautiful job and quietly returned Mei Ting's freedom. Since he showed his favor to Tang Qiuli, you don't have anyone by your side. How much eyeliner has been put on, only the ghost knows, and the things that can't be redeemed are done in a high-sounding way. Think about it, with Mei Ting by his side, can Dai Li manage it?

Dai Li has his own ideas. Tang Qiuli's current status is more noble than that of one person. Mei Ting's identity is public. The old man has entrusted half of his country to Tang Qiuli. Why bother? Putting such an obvious eyeliner next to Tang Qiuli, even though the two are in love with each other, thinking of Mei Ting's identity, Tang Qiuli has some grudges against him.

Look at the relationship between these two people, Mei Ting's happy appearance, I'm afraid she has forgotten her mission long ago. In this case, why not be a favor and give this flower from the Military Control Bureau to you, Vice Chairman Tang, and it is Follow formal organizational procedures.

The two came back from the Qinhuai River. On the second day, they asked Generalissimo Jiang for leave. When the old man learned that he was going to see Mei Ting's parents, he immediately agreed happily, and said that Mei's father's name had been heard for a long time. , and the first Prime Minister is a figure of the same era, just met by chance.

A long caravan passed through Nanjing City, and the ancient city walls of Jinling gradually went away. After the caravan left the city, it went south along the country road with Jiangnan style. In the car, Mei Ting was like a happy little bird In general, he held Tang Qiuli's hand tightly and kept pointing him to the scenery on the roadside.
