What Zhou Zekai said made Wang Xuesheng very curious about the young man in front of him. After all, the so-called poets he had seen before did not dare to say such things in front of him. Even if they were patriotic, they could only express their resentment against foreign invasion Feelings, as straightforward as Zhou Zekai said, really don't exist.
"I really didn't expect that one day I would be able to hear praise for me from a poet. It's really flattering."
Wang Xuesheng looked at the young man in front of him carefully, and found that the young man in front of him was indeed worthy of writing that kind of patriotic poetry. He stood like a pine tree, with wisdom hidden in his eyes. His spirit was a little better than many young people today.
"Why does Commander Wang have to be so self-effacing? Today, Shangjing City can be so peaceful and peaceful, thanks to Commander Wang and your soldiers. Although I have been abroad for three years, I am not a person who is not ignorant of current affairs. There are The five warlord groups are all expanding their territory outside, and wars are breaking out everywhere, not to mention the threat of the Japanese enemy at any time. It can be said that except for Shangjing City, other places have fallen into war. Commander, do you protect the people of Shangjing?"
Zhou Zekai was calm and calm, but looked at Wang Xuesheng, his eyes were full of certainty, he believed that the person in front of him was a person who really thought about the people, and after seeing that the other party was silent, he continued.
"Most of the people who fled from other provinces were accepted by our Shangjing City. After the acceptance, many families were willing to join the army led by Wang Da. Although the money given each month was not too much, it was enough. Those refugees live, and the commander-in-chief is kind and kind, and even arranged a place for the refugees to live in. Which commander can do this? I heard from my father that last year, the Japanese army attacked the city of Shangjing. After the invasion, it was you, Commander-in-Chief, who resisted the Japanese army with your soldiers, isn't this enough to make me admire?"
Every word and sentence seemed to speak to Wang Xuesheng's heart. In fact, at this point, Wang Xuesheng has not thought about it in his heart. He has changed from a gangster leader to the current position of a great warlord. The things he considers are not just those under his command There are more people to consider, the people under his management, and whether those people can live well under his management is also something Wang Xuesheng needs to consider.
After stopping his own army, he gradually recruited a lot of people. Now Wang Xuesheng has an army of more than 60,000 people. Every time he hears that a certain warlord outside expands his territory, he doesn't want to, it's just that It’s just that there are few people in the city. Shangjing City is already relatively wealthy. If he leads troops to go out, I am afraid that Shangjing City will be taken advantage of. Whether it is the Japanese army or those so-called warlords, as long as it is Shangjing City Being invaded, I am afraid that at that time, it will be a waste of life.
It is precisely because of this that he has been lurking for the past two years, not daring to take any action. He can only protect Shangjing City when the enemy invades. For the rest, because of the importance of Shangjing City, he can only stop.
"Leaving aside those compliments, Mr. Zhou is indeed a great talent. He can see my current predicament at a glance. Sir, please sit down. Uncle Fu, let's serve tea!"
Now, Wang Xuesheng really sees Zhou Zekai in his eyes. Although every word of Zhou Zekai is a compliment, there is indeed something in these words. Every sentence implies that Wang Xuesheng seems to be in power now, but But he was very passive, because he cared too much about Shangjing City, so he couldn't let go of it.
Uncle Fu, that is, the butler, heard what his leader said, and hurried over to serve tea. After the tea was served, Zhou Zekai and Wang Xuesheng sat opposite each other. Wang Xuesheng couldn't wait to know what Zhou Zekai meant by saying this.
"Mr. Zhou, although I am in control of the power now, but the city of Shangjing is full of flowers and surrounded by wolves, tigers and leopards. The soldiers in my hand can only stop it for a while, but not for a lifetime. What's more, if we don't expand , then the final result of Shangjing City can only be annexed, Mr. Zhou, I really can't bear to see the people of Shangjing City in ruins... "
Wang Xuesheng had led the army to go out to war before. Naturally, he had seen the situation outside Shangjing City. It was good that the common people were naked and had no food to eat. It can be said that in such a chaotic world, it is good to have one life left, and a comfortable situation like Shangjing City is almost a paradise.
Zhou Zekai naturally came here after studying for a long time, and now he has already made up his mind. Hearing Wang Xuesheng's words so plainly, he nodded.
"To tell you the truth, Commander Wang, I came here this time to solve this matter for the Commander."
Wang Xuesheng was even more calm now, staring at Zhou Zekai, wanting to know how Zhou Zekai can break through the current predicament.
There were jackals in the front and tigers and leopards in the back. Shangjing City looked stable, but in fact it was already like a piece of meat in the mouth of a tiger, ready to bite it down at any time.
Five years later in the plot, because Wang Xuesheng cared about the people in Shangjing City, he faced the enemy Japanese army, but was taken advantage of by the internal thieves. With the cooperation of a certain warlord and the Japanese army, he directly broke through Shangjing City, and Zhou Zekai died there. that time.
Zhou Zekai took out the map he had prepared a long time ago from his chest pocket, and spread it on the table.
"Commander Wang, look, the place where our Shangjing City is located is adjacent to the water and surrounded by mountains on three sides. It is reasonable to say that it is a place that cannot be broken by the main attack. It is very easy to defend the city, but if you want to occupy more cities, develop It belongs to my own power, but it is more difficult. I just came back to help in the garment factory at home, but I heard a news, that is a shortcut that many people don’t know. Here, we are Shangjing City, Shangjing City Right Next to the water, the place on the upper left is Ziying Town, the top is Yunxin Town, and the bottom is Yuanhua Town. If you want to enter other cities, you must start with these towns first. Now Ziying Town Heyun New Town was occupied by Marshal Lu and Marshal Fang respectively, and the last thing left was this Yuanhua Town. Yuanhua Town was occupied by the Japanese army, and even seemed to want to invade our Shangjing City at any time, but I learned from the workers at home. In my mouth, I heard a tunnel leading to Yuanhua Town, which leads to the cellars of the residents of Yuanhua Town. As long as we use this tunnel properly, we can successfully take Yuanhua Town, compared with the Japanese army. The Grand Commander should be more aware of the situation than me."
Pointing to Yuanhua Town on the map, Zhou Zekai had already had an idea before he came, just to break the status quo of being secretly observed in advance, as long as the Japanese army is cleaned up first, Yuanhua Town is occupied, and then the surrounding areas will be developed. region, it is even simpler.
Wang Xuesheng also listened carefully to Zhou Zekai's words, frowned and thought about the situation. In fact, the Japanese army came this time, and there were actually less than 10,000 people in total. They have more guns than them, so they can't fight directly face to face. Now that there is this small road that can directly lead to the cellars of the residents in the town, there is a way!
"The weapons of the Japanese army are much better than ours. The method we adopt can only be to commit crimes in a roundabout way. We find a few agile people to go out from the tunnel and bring the sweat medicine into the drinking water drunk by the Japanese army. Our army is outside. Wait, as long as the Mongolian sweat medicine works, they will rush in! Annihilate them all!!!”
When he said this, Zhou Zekai's face showed a kind of bloodthirsty madness. He hated the people who invaded his country so much, and felt that even if those people died more than a hundred times, it would not be an exaggeration.
"good!!!"
With a slap in the face, Wang Xuesheng also felt that this method was very good. As long as the Japanese army could be completely wiped out, they would face the same Chinese people when they went abroad. Wang Xuesheng has his eyes on other people's weapons.
"Mr. Zhou's method is very good. I will send someone to investigate it. If this plan is feasible, I will follow Mr. Zhou's advice! Mr. Zhou is really talented!"
From looking at the map, Wang Xuesheng knew that Zhou Zekai had made full preparations for his visit this time, otherwise he wouldn't have taken out the map casually, so Wang Xuesheng thought that the person in front of him was a talent.
"Commander Wang, I have another small proposal. In order to ensure the integrity of this plan, I would like to follow the troops commanded by Wang to take a look and participate in this war. Our victory will also allow us to The people admire Commander Wang even more, and the other warlords outside who are eager to eat the flesh and blood of the people cannot stop Commander Wang!"
Zhou Zekai is not someone who has never been on the battlefield. He has been to too many worlds before, and killing people is just a casual thing. Now that he has the opportunity to participate in the war, he also wants to participate. Heroes come out of troubled times. He does not want to be a Hero, but please protect yourself.
"Okay! Mr. Zhou really deserves to be a patriot. I'll make the arrangement. Today, I will send someone to explore the road Mr. Zhou mentioned. If Mr. Zhou doesn't mind right now, why don't we talk while walking?"
Wang Xuesheng couldn't wait to know whether this so-called tunnel was real or not. If it could really lead to several people's homes, then the matter of drugging could be done. This is an opportunity to take down the enemy in one fell swoop. .
For such a request, Zhou Zekai naturally would not refuse, so he took Wang Xuesheng and a small number of his elites to find the tunnel, and then brought them to Yuanhua Town through the tunnel, and because the tunnel was complicated, finally The cellars of more than a dozen companies were all connected, which made Wang Xuesheng very excited. In this case, the plan would be feasible.
When the group came out of the tunnel, it was already dark. Sitting in Wang Xuesheng's car, although Zhou Zekai was tired, he was in high spirits. He chatted with Wang Xuesheng about the past and the present, and he became more and more appreciative of this man who went to Beijing for the sake of the people. The city's warlord leader.
In the end, they discussed it with Wang Xuesheng and acted three days later. Zhou Zekai was sent home by Wang Xuesheng's car.
The Zhou family didn't go to bed long ago because Zhou Zekai was invited away by Wang Xuesheng, waiting for Zhou Zekai to come back. After Zhou Zekai came back at ten o'clock, Zhou Yunhan felt relieved.
Seeing that Zhou Zekai seemed to have something important to say, the family went into the study.
"What did you say to Commander Wang when you went today? Why did you come back at this hour? And you made such a mess?"
God knows that when he saw his son's messy appearance, he would have died of fright, thinking that Zhou Zekai had been physically punished.
Shen Wanru and Meng Qiongyu also looked at Zhou Zekai worriedly, he really didn't look very well.
Zhou Zekai was eating cakes with tea. He was busy with the real and planned things from noon to the afternoon, and he didn't have time to eat. Now he went home and felt hungry.
"Father, don't worry, Commander Wang didn't embarrass me. As for me, seeing Commander Wang was in trouble, I gave Commander Wang an idea. I came here this afternoon to explore the terrain, so I came back late. Mom, Ai Yuan , don’t worry, I’m just a little hungry right now.”
Hearing that her son was fine, Zhou Yunhan was relieved, and Shen Wanru who was at the side hurriedly told Meng Qiongyu to go out and ask the little girl to cook for him. Naturally, Meng Qiongyu agreed, and she felt distressed when she heard that Zhou Zekai hadn't eaten.
After a while, Meng Qiongyu re-entered the study after explaining to the maid, and quickly poured tea for Zhou Zekai.
"Tell me, what advice are you going to give?"
Since this son returned to China, he has been doing this for a while and doing that for a while, and he is also very busy in the factory. Although he is happy as a father, he also feels that his son is too anxious, and the matter of publishing poems is too busy. It was too much to show off, but Zhou Yunhan couldn't figure out what his son was going to do.
"Father, I knew I couldn't hide it from you, and I didn't intend to hide it from you. Our ancestors have lived in Shangjing City for generations. You also know that there is a lot of turmoil outside now. Think about it, if our Shangjing City is breached, Then what will happen to our family? What will happen to Shangjing City?"
Zhou Zekai's question was like the tip of a needle, piercing the calm that Zhou Yunhan wanted to maintain, so he didn't know, like these days, nowhere is safe, and this will involve the world of businessmen, but Every time a war is about to break out, merchants are the first to know, because whether it is food or other things, there will be price fluctuations. Just by looking at these, Zhou Yunhan can guess which place needs to fight.
What's more, the Zhou family is a clothing manufacturer. As long as they receive a large order, who else can place such a large order except the army? Zhou Yunhan didn't say anything, but it didn't mean he wasn't worried. Now Shangjing City seems to be peaceful and happy, but it has long been surrounded by wolves and hungry tigers.
Seeing his father frowning, Zhou Zekai didn't stop and continued talking.
"Whether I write poems this time or expand our family's factory, I want to be able to stand beside Commander Wang Da and let our family be completely protected by Commander Wang Da. Three days later, Yuan Hua Town will A full-scale war against the Japanese army will break out, and I will also participate, as a surrender to Commander Wang Da, father, don't stop me, you know, Shangjing City will not last for five years at most."
These things, as long as they are sensitive businessmen, can see it. The head of the Zhou family, Zhou Yunhan, naturally knows in his heart that Wang Xuesheng is good because he is so kind, he is so kind to his soldiers, and he is so kind to his soldiers. The people are also too kind, that's why he has a lot of thoughts and can't take advantage of the victory to pursue and occupy more places, but if he does not advance, he will retreat. If a warlord leader does not expand outward, the final result will be annexed by other warlords. Just like shopping malls, it is true to say that shopping malls are like battlefields.
Zhou Yunhan didn't speak, but Shen Wanru and Meng Qiongyu on the side looked at Zhou Zekai worriedly, wanting to say something, but they also understood that this is not the time for them to talk, men discuss things, women sit and listen, this is Zhou Yunhan The family has a long-standing rule.
"Akai, I know that when you grow up, you are more ambitious than your father and me, and I will not stop you, but this time you go over, I will let the servants of the family follow you, you must not do anything. things, you know?"
In front of his wife and daughter-in-law, Zhou Yunhan did not mention that Yuanhua Town was occupied by the Japanese army, and those Japanese soldiers were brutal, and what they did was even more unreasonable. Many people were frightened when they heard the name of the Japanese army. I'm afraid, if I tell my wife and daughter-in-law, I'm afraid they will cry.
"Father, don't worry, I will come back safely! I promise!"
Zhou Zekai got his father's approval. At this moment, a maid came outside and said that the food was ready. Shen Wanru hurriedly let people in, first served Zhou Zekai to eat, and arranged for the servants to boil hot water for Zhou Zekai to have a good rest.
Shen Wanru is a woman, she knew that if she said anything else at this moment, it might disturb her son's plan even more, so she simply didn't say anything, and sent the young couple back to the room after the son finished eating.
There is no such thing as an automatic bathtub for everyone to take a bath at the moment. It is a huge bucket filled with water prepared by servants. After Zhou Zekai took off his clothes, he went into the bathtub and soaked in hot water for a day. His tiredness seemed to have disappeared, and he closed his eyes to enjoy the comfort of the moment.
Meng Qiongyu took a bath towel and walked in from behind the screen. Although she blushed seeing her husband naked, she still walked over. After dipping the towel in water, she took Zhou Zekai's arm and wiped it gently.
Regarding today's matter, Meng Qiongyu wanted to ask something, but she didn't know where to start.
Lying there, Zhou Zekai opened his eyes and saw Meng Qiongyu's pensive look. He felt that Meng Qiongyu's exquisite face moved his heart even more under the smog of the hot water.
Pulling the opponent's hand and putting it on his chest, feeling the different touch of Meng Qiongyu's white and tender hand from his own skin, he looked at Meng Qiongyu.
"Ai Yuan, don't worry, I followed Commander Wang Da this time, nothing will happen."
Knowing what the woman in front of him was thinking, and also fully aware of her worry, Zhou Zekai pulled Meng Qiongyu's hand down, pulling Meng Qiongyu down, and then put his other hand around Meng Qiongyu's neck, Kissed.
After the warm lips touched Meng Qiongyu's thin lips, he licked them lightly, but he felt that those so-called fortune tellers were inaccurate. Who said that people with thin lips are naturally thin and cool? Ai Yuan will not be like this.
The two of them leaned on each other, and the heat in the bathtub made Meng Qiongyu's hair gradually moist, while Zhou Zekai's hand caressed her chest irregularly, and with his fingertips he nimbly unbuttoned Meng Qiongyu's chest. At that time, he couldn't think of anything else, his mind was full of Meng Qiongyu's appearance...
After the kiss was exhausted, both of them were out of breath. Zhou Zekai even hugged Meng Qiongyu into the bathtub, and then tore off her clothes in the water. splash.
Hugging Meng Qiongyu, the two of them were close to each other, Zhou Zekai gently bit Meng Qiongyu's earlobe, spraying warm breath on her face.
"Ai Yuan, can you call me by my husband's name?"
Such pleading, but in such a situation, Meng Qiongyu's face was flushed and her body was swaying in the water, but there was nothing she could do, she could only call out Zhou Zekai's name in that murmured voice that seemed almost inaudible.
"Mingzhen..."
