Chapter 173 I Met Someone I Like
"Don't ask too much." Yue Xiangli said calmly, "Go and wait for the exchange."
"Yes." Yang Weiguo walked to the door and stood straight.
After a while, another guard, Wan Anbang, came over and exchanged positions with him.
Yue Xiangli unscrewed the cap of the pen and wrote the troop mobilization order on the paper.
Glancing at the clock hanging opposite, Yue Xiangli said, "Wan Anbang."
"To!"
Yue Xiangli handed him the sealed troop dispatch order and said, "Ask the signalman to deliver it to Zheng Kaisheng."
"Yes!"
After capping the pen, Yue Xiangli clasped his hands together, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and dozed off.
The landline phone rang and Yue Xiangli picked up the handle.
"Xiang Li, I just returned to Zhencheng. Do you want to have a meal together? I'll go to Yanzhou Hotel and chat with you."
"can."
"Then you're free at one o'clock in the afternoon?"
"Ah."
Yue Xiangli took the coat on the chair and left the study. When he left, a soldier ran towards him.
"Reporting to the commander, the police chief Han Yanfen wants to see you and says he wants to apologize on behalf of Han Xueyi."
"Tell him to get lost. He should apologize to the wrong person. Tell him that if he doesn't know how to teach his son, I don't mind helping him."
The Yue Marshal's Mansion does not play the game of superficial peace.
"Yes!"
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Yue Xiangli and Shen Dingwei sat opposite each other.
Shen Dingwei was wearing a blue suit with a tie hanging loosely around his neck. His slightly upturned eyes made him look a little sloppy.
He opened a bottle of wine. "Want a drink?"
Yue Xiangli leaned back in the chair, loosened his sleeves, and unbuttoned his shirt with half-closed eyes, "Pour it out."
"When can we completely control Zhencheng?" Shen Dingwei poured him a glass of wine.
"Zhencheng is a complicated place with many factions in the government and foreigners are also involved. Let's wait for another two months for my people to find out who is behind the factions and who is eyeing Zhencheng."
Zhencheng is located on the main north-south transportation route. Many forces want to take it down, but they are not as bold as Li.
"Cheng Biao signed a treaty with the foreigners before, transferring the ownership of the mine outside the city and the right to live in Wuxi Minxiang in the city. There are a lot of raw materials in the mine."
Yue Xiangli raised his glass and said, "I understand. The treaty was signed by the government. It is not easy for me to interfere. After a while, I will completely control Zhencheng and then abolish the treaty."
"I do not recognize any unequal treaties signed by the old forces."
Shen Dingwei nodded and said, "I came back from Linshan Province. There has been fighting over there. It is the Fang faction that is expanding, while the Cheng faction is losing ground."
"The three eastern provinces of Qing are very lucrative, and the Fang family will definitely be envious. You should be prepared."
"When have you ever dared to slack off?" Yue Xiangli put down his wine glass and looked at him. "How about coming to my place? There's a vacant position for the chief of staff."
"Okay, you can get such a high position at once?" Shen Dingwei poured him another glass of wine and raised his glass.
Yue Xiangli touched him and said, "You deserve it, but I don't care how to make them obey."
"Okay." Shen Dingwei drank the wine in the glass and suddenly sighed, "Xiang Li, when will this country be stable?"
"Take back sovereignty and drive out foreign enemies. Only when we are strong can we achieve stability."
Shen Dingwei took a long breath and poured more wine, "Then I wish the country will be stable soon."
After eating for a while, Shen Dingwei asked again: "When do you plan to let me take office?"
"the day after tomorrow."
"Then I'm going out of town to pick up my fiancée tomorrow. We plan to get married next month."
"Congratulations."
Shen Dingwei looked at him for a while. "Two years ago, I asked you if you had any plans to start a family. You said that the country was not stable, so how could you have a family? Do you still think so now?"
Yue Xiangli raised her eyes and glanced at him, "Let it be."
He doesn't really believe in fate, and believes that everything depends on human efforts.
"You've changed your mind? What? Are you planning to keep a successor, or have you met someone you like?" Shen Dingwei raised his eyebrows and asked jokingly.
"There is no such thing as a pure land without war in our country now. The situation is changing rapidly and children will only suffer."
"So you met someone you like?"
"Eat yours."
"Don't be so tight-lipped, it's not a secret."
"You will know what you should know. How can I tell you about things that are uncertain?"
Shen Dingwei smiled and said, "Not sure? You pursue her, but she doesn't like you?"
Yue Xiangli didn't reply to him.
After finishing their meal, the two walked out together and went downstairs. Yue Xiangli saw a man in a blue windbreaker running past the corner, and his profile looked a little familiar.
Yue Xiangli glanced in the direction the man ran and thought for a moment.
After separating from Shen Dingwei, Yue Xiangli got into a low-key car.
"Go to the end of First Street."
"Yes!" Wan Anbang replied.
No. 1 Street is a government area and has always been unsafe.
The car stopped in a deep alley. Yue Xiangli looked at the rearview mirror and saw several men in plain clothes searching quickly in front of the intersection.
Soon the man in the blue windbreaker ran over, holding his stomach, with a bad look on his face.
As he ran over, Yue opened the car door for Li, grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him into the car, then quickly closed the door.
Yue Xiangli leaned back in his chair and pressed the man's face against the seat.
The man groaned and pointed his gun at Yue Xiangli.
Yue glanced at Li and said, "Drive."
Wan Anbang took a look at the situation behind him in the rearview mirror and drove away.
Outside the car, the people who were searching looked at the badge on Wan Anbang's military cap and glanced over it at the same time.
Yue Xiangli pulled down the curtain, let go of his hands, and folded his long legs slightly, "Are you sure you want to point at me?"
Ji Huaimin looked at him for a while, then put the gun away, "Why did you help me, Marshal Yue?"
"This is not the only time I've helped you."
Ji Huaimin was horrified, thinking back to the night two days ago when he had escaped particularly smoothly despite his injuries.
"You don't have anything I want to plot against. I just want to see what you can do to change the situation."
"You can rest assured that you can develop as you wish under my jurisdiction."
"Thank you." Ji Huaimin had observed him for a long time and knew that he was not lying.
"Where are you going?"
"Pear Blossom Lane."
They were silent all the way until they reached the back street at the alley. Yue Xiangli opened the curtain a little, and Ning Sangyu caught his eye at first sight.
Or maybe, he could believe in fate a little.
"Please, General Yue, stop the car." Ji Huaimin said.
"Stop it."
Wan Anbang braked when he heard that.
Ji Huaimin opened the car door and got out. As soon as he looked up, he saw Ning Sangyu waiting in front of the pastry shop to pack her food.
Ji Huaimin looked back at the people in the car, then walked through the crowd to find Ning Sangyu.
Yue Xiangli watched him talking to Ning Sangyu with a smile, then stood on tiptoe to look inside and stood still again, as if complaining to him about something.
Looking at Yue Xiangli looking out in the rearview mirror, Wan Anbang, who was not driving, turned around curiously to look.
Ji Huaimin turned around and saw that Yue Xiangli had not left yet, and his gaze lingered for a while.
Ning Sangyu asked him which pastry was delicious. Without waiting for a response, she looked up at him, then followed his gaze and met Yue Xiangli's eyes.
"Brother, why is he here?" she asked.
"We met on the way, Yueyue Shuai sent me back."
"Is he so kind? He saved me this morning."
Ji Huaimin stared at her and said with a worried tone, "Save? What happened to you? Are you injured?"
