Chapter 190 Looking Down at the Mountains and Rivers
After dinner, Yue Xiangli took Ning Sangyu to the room next to his bedroom, "It was already packed on the night you promised to come over, go and have a sleep."
"Have you been planning this for a long time?"
"You're right. I've wanted to bring you home for a long time." Yue Xiangli hugged her, "Can I help you untie your hair?"
"Ah."
Yue Xiangli untied her combed hair and said, "Can you comb it yourself when you get up? Do you want me to help you?"
"Do you know?"
"You can learn if you don't know." He looked at her in the mirror and smiled.
"I can do it. Just a simple comb."
"Okay, there are pajamas prepared in the closet. They are all new. Change into them before going to sleep."
"Ah."
After another light kiss, Yue Xiangli left.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, when the person was sent back, Yue Xiangli talked to Ji Huaimin alone.
Ji Huaimin took a sip of tea and said, "You are quite anxious."
"I am very anxious, but Sangsang's reputation is more important."
Ji Huaimin glanced at the sky and said after a while, "Then let's set it the day before I leave. I'll also see what my sister looks like when she gets married."
"It's going to end sooner or later anyway, so it doesn't make any difference if it's one month or half a month."
"Thank you, brother."
Ji Huaimin glanced at him unhappily and threw a magazine at him, "It's too early, go learn it."
Seeing him climbing up the pole makes me itchy and I want to beat him up.
Yue Xiangli picked up the magazine, which was about women's hairstyles throughout the ages, both in China and abroad, and it also included detailed steps on how to tie up hair.
"Sangsang's hand is not very convenient now. If you don't know how to do it, ask the servants in your house to learn it."
"Okay, I'll learn." Yue Xiangli replied with a smile.
"Go away. I feel uncomfortable seeing you."
"I intercepted it here. They probably didn't receive the message. I'm not sure if it would be useful to you." Yue Xiangli put an envelope in front of him, then turned and left. "I'll come back tomorrow."
Ji Huaimin opened the letter and found a decrypted telegram inside.
Ji Huaimin couldn't help but get up and go out to make a phone call immediately.
After finding a telephone booth, Ji Huaimin waited anxiously for the call to be connected.
"Old Li, it's me, Ji Huaimin."
"what happened?"
"Your side has been exposed. Move out of Chaoxi Lane immediately. Take everything you can take away and find a new place to stay. Call me when you find a new place."
"it is good!"
Ji Huaimin hung up the phone and let out a long sigh.
Five days later, Gu Kuangheng got off the train and was escorted to the Marshal's Mansion by soldiers.
Gu Kuangheng was wearing a blue suit, adjusting his glasses, sitting in the car and looking at the pedestrians outside.
The people here look much better than those in the cities we passed by on the road.
Ji Huaimin and Shen Dingwei were standing in front of the Marshal's Mansion waiting, Ji Huaimin pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.
Yue Xiangli picked Ning Sangyu up from the school, and the car carrying Gu Kuangheng and their car stopped one after the other.
Ning Sangyu looked at the car parked in front of her, a little confused, "Who's coming?"
"Gu Kuangheng is here." Yue Xiangli pinched her face and said with a smile.
"Really?" Ning Sangyu stood up immediately after hearing that.
Yue Xiangli protected her head and opened the car door, "Be careful, don't bump into it."
Gu Kuangheng saw Ji Huaimin in front of him and stood there looking at him for a long time, "Huaimin?"
He had been away from home for twelve years, and the country he had been in had gone through several wars. It was seven years ago that he received the letters and photos from home. Ji Huaimin was quite different from the eighteen-year-old he was back then.
"Brother Kuang Heng." Ji Huaimin smiled and walked over to hug him, "Welcome back home."
Gu Kuangheng patted his shoulder, then asked, "Where's Sangsang?"
Ji Huaimin pointed behind him.
Gu Kuangheng turned around and saw the graceful girl put down the box in her hand. He strode over and patted her on the head, "Sangsang, do you miss your brother?"
"No, you haven't written to us for seven years." Ning Sangyu blinked and suppressed the tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Sangsang. There's a war going on over there. They're monitoring me and detaining me, and I can't receive your letters. A new regime was established a few months ago, and I've had a lot of twists and turns before I can come back." Gu Kuangheng touched her head.
"I'm sorry, I said the opposite. I missed you so much."
"I know. I don't blame you." Gu Kuangheng sighed, "When I left, you were only seven years old, that young, and now you're this big."
"Our Sangsang is so pretty."
"Wouldn't you like to go in and talk?" Shen Dingwei said with a smile.
Gu Kuangheng glanced at the mansion with the plaque that read "The Marshal's Mansion", then looked at Ji Huaimin, and walked in side by side with Ning Sangyu, without even looking at Yue Xiangli who came with Ning Sangyu.
The soldier who had escorted Gu Kuangheng all the way scratched his head as he looked at the box thrown on the ground.
Doesn't this guy treasure his box very much? He wouldn't let anyone touch it on the road, so why doesn't he want it now?
Yue Xiangli glanced at him and said, "You go down, I'll carry the things."
"Yes, handsome!"
When Gu Kuangheng heard the call "General", he turned around and looked at Yue Xiangli, who nodded at him.
Gu Kuangheng thought of the fact that Ning Sangyu and he came here holding hands, so he asked Ning Sangyu who was beside him, "Sangsang, what is your relationship with that Yue Shuai?"
"We are an engaged couple." Ning Sangyu said, feeling a little embarrassed by his gaze.
Gu Kuangheng didn't ask any more questions after hearing this and continued to ask her about what had happened in the past few years.
I'll ask Ji Huaimin when I have time. The girl is shy.
"If he had told me you were here earlier, I would have come here even without Song Chengwei's letter." The domestic situation is unclear now, and it's not safe to go anywhere.
His return passed through the hands of many people. Those who helped him might have done so out of friendship, or might have had ulterior motives, but Gu Kuangheng didn't care. The most important thing was to be able to return.
The country was in need of talents at that time, and no matter what, Gu Kuangheng wanted to come back and contribute to the country.
He knew that as soon as he got off the boat, someone would come to intercept him, and he didn't know which force would eventually capture him.
But he would feel much more at ease being with his younger brothers and sisters.
Yue Xiangli placed Gu Kuangheng's box at his feet, and asked the servants to make tea and prepare dinner. At the same time, he asked someone to go to the laboratory to pick up Song Chengwei.
During the meal, Song Chengwei pulled Gu Kuangheng aside to talk about the principles of firearms and professional topics in their field. Yue Xiangli glanced at them and concentrated on taking care of Ning Sangyu's meal.
Gu Kuangheng responded to Song Chengwei's words while observing Yue Xiangli.
After Ning Sangyu had eaten, she saw Song Chengwei was still chatting with Gu Kuangheng excitedly, so she took the opportunity to take Ning Sangyu away.
It was dusk at this moment, and the yellowish setting sun was shining down, giving the entire mansion a sense of laziness.
Yue Xiangli took people to the garden, sat in the pavilion and hugged her to watch the sunset.
"Sangsang, do you have a wish?" He kissed her on the lips.
Ning Sangyu glanced at him, then leaned on his shoulder, looked at the sky in silence for a while, and said: "I hope that foreign enemies will be driven out, the nation will be independent, and the country will be safe forever."
"Hope, ride the wind, go to the vast sky, and look down at the mountains and rivers."
He tightened his grip around her, "I'll accompany you, and help millions of other comrades realize this."
"Then, reorganize my six divisions to improve my military strength, and when we are ready to start over, we will rebuild the old country and face the sky."
