Chapter 1

During the Anti-Japanese War, the former vice-chairman of the Kuomintang, Wang Jingwei, made peace with Japan in private, and established a new "National Government" in Nanjing. From then on, it formed a tripartite confrontation with the Chiang government/government, which moved its capital to Chongqing, and the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border region government/government led by Mao. Bureau, each doing its own thing, hindering each other.It wasn't until the Japanese army suffered successive defeats on the Pacific battlefield and Wang became seriously ill that one side of the triangle collapsed silently.

As the smoke filled the air, instigation and counter-instigation in the rear were also quietly unfolding.

The story happened at this time.

The following text

1.

In 1944, the autumn in Chongqing, the accompanying capital, was extremely cold.

The cold wind mixed with freezing rain swept across the mountain city, and it took half a month before it was willing to expose a palm-sized piece of blue sky, rewarding the busy people below.

Fu Jing folded the newspaper and put it back on the table, her face was more gloomy than the weather.

The battle that began in early summer, when the national army retreated and defeated, and the ferocity of the Japanese counterattack caused the authorities to spare no effort to call on the educated youth to join the army. One copy, the headlines on the front page are particularly provocative: One inch of mountains and rivers, one inch of blood, [-] young people, [-] soldiers.

Fu Jing shook her head, rubbed her hands together and walked to the corridor. When the cold wind blew, her head immediately became more active.He opened the red-lacquered and silver-inlaid foreign cigarette case, squeezed out a three-fort, put it under his nose, smelled it, and then put it back.This is the addiction I accumulated when I was studying abroad. Later, Wu Xuanyi quit when he didn't like it, and only occasionally when he was in a panic, he would relieve his cravings like now.

I don't know when it started, the sky began to drizzle again, weaving coldly and diagonally, making the already dim street lights even more dim.

A black shadow suddenly passed by, and rushed into the corridor in embarrassment with Yumo Xingzi.Fu Jing hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it. The student in the Chinese tunic suit was overjoyed when she saw it was her. Then she took off her hat, put the handkerchief on the brim of the hat and waved it to the side, and read out the cut: "Pan family, excuse me."

One of the ancestors of the Green Gang was surnamed Pan, and later generations took this branch as the most important, so most of the disciples and grandchildren called themselves the Pan family.Before Fu Jing went abroad, she had voted for Dahong's greeting post, but she was in a hurry and did not formally set up an apprenticeship hall. After dropping out of school, Du Yuesheng, the leader, also moved to Chongqing and rebuilt the Hengshe. The meaning of the dragon head is attached to the next generation of the word "ten thousand".She is well-known outside, and most people recognize her. In addition, the Green Gang has always advocated "loyalty for thousands of years", as long as outsiders know the rules and know the cut, they can get what they want when they ask for help.

Fu Jing couldn't refuse this young student's impeccable words and actions.Nodding her lips, she told the young students to give up the alleys and take the avenues instead.

As soon as the student's heels disappeared, a group of people from the secret service battalion ran up noisy.The leader of the team has just taken office, and he is alert and troublesome. Now he will rush to Fu Jing with a smile on his face: "Secretary Fu is back, and a brother asked about it two days ago." Obviously anxious , but to talk about some trivial matters, which shows that in his eyes, Fu Jing is more important than the prisoner.

That's right, the only female secretary with a military rank in the Garrison Command is also a rising star of the Green Gang, who dares to underestimate her

Fu Jing patted off the foam on the military uniform, picked up a cannon cigarette and handed it over: "Catch Wang's pseudo-spies or..." She deliberately lowered her voice: "Communist Party" When the public opinion of the Anti-Japanese War collapsed, Shangfeng fought against the Communist Party. The matter of anti/communism is still persistent.

The team leader didn't expect her to ask such a straightforward question, but he didn't dare to offend easily, so he lit a cigarette and took a deep puff: "Secretary Fu has sharp eyes, how can I hide this from you." Then he quickly stopped talking, Afraid of talking too much, I will lose my mind: "Little brother will do it first, and say hello to Mrs. Wu for us."

Mrs. Wu refers to Wu Xuanyi, who is married to Director Wu Yongquan as the second concubine, and everyone who is sensible calls her "Madam" in a decent way.Thinking that Director Wu had the cheek to push his concubine to curry favor with Fu Jing, just in order to take the broad road of getting promoted and getting rich, and his wishful thinking was crackling.As for the many gossips behind the scenes, there was indeed a lot of noise at the beginning, but then it stopped for some reason.

"This way, in the alley." Fu Jing slightly raised her arm pretending to be mysterious, and the group leader understood, happily leading the team.

Putting the small foreign cigarette case back into her pocket and putting it away, Fu Jing took another look at the distance of the avenue. Except for the darkening sky and the dimming streetlights, there were hardly any other pedestrians in the residual rain, and it was almost desolate.

"Jing, why are you playing tricks again?"

Wu Xuanyi's melodious accent floated from behind, like crystal clear snow balls falling on a pine branch, and suddenly fell to the ground.

Fu Jing turned around, took off the warm scarf and tied it on for her, her smile was like a crack in the ice, and the smirk stretched out: "This is not waiting for you, there is nothing wrong with it" for several months No, Wu Xuanyi is still the familiar and coquettish Wu Xuanyi, nothing has changed.

The evening breeze blew coolly, making Wu Xuanyi's thick woolen cheongsam fit her body more closely, and her slightly permed hair added some charm to the most beautiful person.She stretched out her white and tender arms, and the sheepskin coat in her arms was passed directly to Fu Jing: "Every time you turn your mouth up, it's just to play tricks, and you still don't admit it."

Fu Jing's lips were thin, and when she pursed her lips, she was serious enough to frighten the ignorant army ruffians, but when she curled her lips, she could warm her heart, even the wind and snow could be easily melted away.Only that half-smiling hooked lips couldn't get rid of the choking arrogance in it, as if it would pierce a big hole in the iron sheet.

Whenever such a joke is made, it is likely that someone has got the point.

Fu Jing didn't refute, she picked up her coat and helped her put it on, then bent down and made a "please" gesture in a polite manner.

Today, the new Minister of Finance took office and held a private banquet in honor of various military officers and gentry. The garrison commander, who was still on the sidelines, found an excuse to hide himself at home, and asked Fu Jing to act as a representative and bring a congratulatory sticker to the door to congratulate him.It just so happened that Director Wu, Wu Yongquan, was also invited. Mrs. Wu was supposed to attend, but instead of accompanying the old man, she was accompanied by Fu Jing, who had her hair permed first and then went to the banquet.

The mountain city under the curfew is unbelievably dark, but the dark color has nothing to do with the luxurious mansion with the doors and windows tightly closed and several layers of curtains hanging. The noise and brightness inside cannot seep out, thus creating a carnival isolated from the world.

On such occasions, Fu Jing usually left earlier, if Wu Xuanyi hadn't been very interested, she would definitely not have stayed for long.

At this moment, Wu Xuanyi in the center of the dance floor is like an elf, sliding lightly from one end to the other. The close-fitting cheongsam reflects a faint blue halo under the bright light, and against the original deep blue, the precipitation is more mysterious than agate.She is so polite and pleasant, so pretty and so gentle, she is obviously not involved in politics, but she can easily find an entry point and get along with many important military and political officials.Whenever there is an enthusiastic young gentleman who wants to hunt/love and seek novelty, or a military ruffian/hooligan in a shiny coat wants to strike up a conversation, she will sneak up to Fu Jing in time and let Fu Jing hug her dance to tune.

Similarly, every time Fu Jing approached some greasy-haired young men or gorgeous girls, she would always hold up a goblet filled with deep red wine and invite them to have a drink together quite boldly.Usually at this time, Fu Jing, who can wear the rigorous military uniform with a [-]-point style, will press her slender wrist, whisper a word not to drink too much, then turn her head away, and give the order to expel the outsider with unceremonious eyes.

No one can resist such coldness and fierceness.

The shriveled and thin Director Wu sat in the leather chair upstairs, watching the two people who were both outstanding in figure and appearance, forming a pattern of their own, smiling and starting to eat delicious foie gras, the eyes behind the lens were dim and flickering, jealous and greedy. The cunning is skillfully blended, exuding the appearance of poise.Seeing that he was still like this, everyone watched those two more and more unscrupulously, and only thought of restraining themselves when they were glared at by Fu Jing occasionally.

In fact, such a young secretary who was airborne by the Garrison Command, even if he joined the Youth Gang, was not enough to make these prominent people so envious. Until one day, Fu Dong, the eldest lady of the Fu family, called out the word "cousin" to her, stretched out Those of you with long necks who joined in the fun suddenly realized that this is Fu Zuoyi, the commander of the two major regions, and the nephew of the Fu family. No wonder the waist is so hard.Thinking about it this way, Director Wu's brazenness is no longer shameless, and Wu Xuanyi's charm has also become logical, and then thinking about it a little further away, I have to admire Du Yuesheng, the leader of the Green Gang, who was clearly presenting the previous invitation It was good for him to give it to his apprentice Wan Molin, and forcibly suppressed Fu Jing's seniority.

However, he was still kind to Fu Jing, and he was by her side from time to time, not as unfamiliar and rigid as others thought.

Both kindness and strength, sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy.

Mostly it was an old story three years ago, and it is still popular today. Whenever I see it in public, there will always be a bunch of flies gathering in one place intentionally or unintentionally, making a buzzing sound cautiously and deliberately, which cannot be suppressed.

This is one of the reasons why Fu Jing doesn't like socializing.
