After Zheng Yutong confirmed it repeatedly, he forwarded the contents of the telegram to Liu Xuangong.

To Zheng Yutong's surprise, Liu Xuangong just took the telegram and glanced at it, but didn't say anything.

Just when Zheng Yutong was curious, Liu Xuangong took out a copy and handed it over.

Zheng Yutong took it, saw that the date of receipt of the newspaper said November 28, opened the telegram, and translated: November 25 - Japan and Germany signed the Japan-Germany Defense and Communist Agreement in Berlin......

The next day, the streets and alleys of Beiping City were filled with the shouts of newsboys about the content of the "Double 12 Incident".

Liu Xuangong sat in the antique shop, leisurely drinking tea, and on the chair opposite, Liu Jincheng looked like an ant on a hot pot.

Liu Xuangong put down the teacup and glanced at the restless Liu Jincheng: "Senior brother, I didn't put nails on this chair, right?" ”

Liu Jincheng glared at Liu Xuangong angrily: "Xuangong, when is it, you still come to this kind of joke?" ”

"Is it useful to be in a hurry?" Liu Xuan picked up the teacup slowly and took a sip of tea, "Besides, Zhang Yang detained Jiang Ruiyuan, does it have anything to do with your Red Party?" ”

Liu Jincheng was stunned.

Liu Xuangong smiled: "Settle peacefully, your Red Army in northern Shaanxi is a little better, and if you don't handle it well, it still depends on whose fists are hard." What's the use of worrying! ”

Liu Jincheng smiled bitterly and sat down: "Thank you!" ”

"If you care, you're messy." Liu Xuangong made Liu Jincheng a cup of tea, "Besides, with Brother Xuanzhong in the back, what can you Red Army do?" ”

"That's right!"

"Tell me something," Liu Xuangong smiled, "On the 25th of last month, Japan and Germany signed a mutual defense agreement. Can you still remember the contents of Japan's "Imperial National Defense Guidelines" and "Program for the Use of Troops" that I gave you in June last year, as well as the "National Policy Standards" in August? ”

Liu Jincheng nodded.

"For more than a month, the Japanese have pushed the front to Fangshan, and now they are almost surrounded on three sides." Liu Xuangong sighed, "Once Jiang Ruiyuan agrees to unanimously resist Japan, the Japanese will soon increase their troops......"

"I know." Liu Jincheng sighed.

"It's good to know, and I'll keep in touch if I have anything to do in the future!"

Twelve days later, the Xi'an Incident was resolved peacefully, but Liu Xuangong found that the Japanese in Beiping were ready to move......

It didn't take long for the Japanese troops outside the city to squeeze the defenders' range: in broad daylight, gunfire could be heard outside the city......

Although he knew that there would be such a day, Zheng Yutong was still a little scared when he heard the sound of gunfire......

Seeing Zheng Yutong sullen, Liu Xuangong was a little distressed, and joked with a smile: "Classmate Zheng, where did you go to the courage when you drilled into the encirclement?" ”

Zheng Yutong glared at Liu Xuangong: "When I graduated, there was no autonomy in Beiping, who would have thought that it would be so fast!" ”

Liu Xuangong gently stroked Zheng Yutong's hair: "Don't be afraid of guns, the old man considered it when he chose a place, the west is the Imperial Temple, the east is the Guangji Temple, and the east is the Xishiku Church, there are many foreigners around here, the Japanese, and they don't have the courage to bully God's people." ”

"Yes!"

"Besides, I've always been out to buy the food......"

Saying that, Liu Xuangong was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zheng Yutong with a wry smile: "Our life may not be so comfortable in the future." ”

"Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog!" Zheng Yutong's face was calm, "Even if I eat bran vegetables, I am willing." ”

"That's not it," Liu Xuangong looked at the pond in the yard, "It's okay to eat braised carp once a month." ”

Following Liu Xuangong's line of sight, Zheng Yutong saw the koi in the pond, turned around, and glared at Liu Xuangong angrily: "Liu Xuangong, aren't you afraid that our father will kill you?" ”

"The old man said, give up your wealth and not your life."

"In that case...... Zheng Yutong licked the corners of his mouth, "I haven't tasted koi yet!" ”

"I heard from my seventh sister that it tastes quite good." Liu Xuangong rolled his eyes and looked at Zheng Yutong with a smile, "Why don't we slaughter one and taste it?" ”

"Taste it!"

So, an unscrupulous unscrupulous couple, on the pretext of celebrating the peaceful resolution of the Xi'an Incident, slaughtered one of the most inconspicuous koi in the pond and made it into sweet and sour carp.

More than a month later, in order to "pass the New Year", the two slaughtered another one.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, under the prodding of Liu Jincheng's family, Liu Xuangong slaughtered the largest koi in the pond.

After the New Year, Liu Xuangong held a clearance sale in the store, and sold a large number of "treasures of the Forbidden City" - Kang Yongqian's "Three Dynasties Official Kiln" with tears.

Within a few months, Liu Xuangong, who was addicted to the defeat of the "loser", successively sold thousands of pieces of "official kiln" porcelain......

On 7 July 1937, Japan attacked Beiping "as scheduled", but under the stubborn resistance of the 29th Army, it took more than two months for the Japanese, who had the superior forces, to occupy Beiping.

In the past two months, Liu Xuangong has carried a lot of private goods in the grain bags of the "labor army": in addition to guns and ammunition, there is also intelligence information.

The top leaders of certain units of the 29th Army, who received the smuggled goods, kept them secret and asked their subordinates to "sew their mouths tightly."

After two months of siege, the Japanese troops on the "periphery", who had suffered heavy losses, entered the city with a group of dejected puppet troops.

But at this time, in the huge city of Beiping, because of the flight, less than half of the population in 1930 remained: except for "foreigners" like Liu Xuangong, they were the old and young remnants of the former Qing Dynasty, either hardcore crops or coated slaves......

Liu Xuangong, who is in-depth and simple, except for the occasional "going out for activities", has been staying at home at other times.

Just when the war situation in North China was scorching, Liu Jincheng, who "suddenly broke off contact with his family", came to the door.

Hearing Liu Xuangong's voice in the gate, "Hide the koi carp quickly", Liu Jin was angry and wanted to kick the door open......

"Yo, Xuan Gong, are you making fish again?"

Seeing his senior brother staring at him with "smiling flesh and not smiling", Liu Xuangong was a little weak-hearted: "Just kidding, senior brother, are you here?" Come in! ”

Entering the living room, Liu Jincheng sat on the sofa and looked at Liu Xuangong with a solemn face: "Senior brother, do you still have contact with the northwest?" ”

Liu Xuangong didn't answer, but slowly recited: "For the way of the general, you should treat the heart first." Mount Tai collapsed in front and the color remained unchanged, and the elk was on the left and did not look instantly, and then it could control the interests and harms, and it could treat the enemy. ”

As soon as he heard that his junior brother dragged the text with him, Liu Jincheng directly replied with a tofu eye: "Don't be poor with me, say it quickly!" ”

Liu Xuangong smiled awkwardly: "Our new radio station has just been shipped over, and it hasn't been assembled yet!" ”

Liu Jincheng asked, "What about the old one?" ”

Liu Xuangong's face was expressionless: "It's sealed." ”
