However, the dimness in Xu Shijiu's eyes lasted for a moment, and soon became sharp again. He stared at Li Yuxian and asked, "Do you seem to like asking about other people's private affairs?"

"No, I only like to inquire about the private affairs of the people I am interested in." Li Yuxian said with a smile.

Li Yuxian did not shy away from her interest and affection for Xu Shijiu, and Xu Shijiu was quite helpless. He had said everything he should say, and had warned him, but it seemed that there was no effect on Li Yuxian, a female spy in the military command. She still did her own thing, and Xu Shijiu could not really keep others from thousands of miles away.

After all, the two are still in the upper and lower level relationships now, and they still have to fight when they work.

Xu Shijiu shook his head and said calmly: "Isn't your military command omnipotent? I'm afraid that the matter between me, Tang Ying and Jiaxi can't be hidden from you. I'll ask you to go up to review the materials?"

Li Yuxian said: "The materials may not necessarily be accurate, I want to hear you say it in person."

Xu Shijiu said: "I can only say sorry. I am not used to sharing privacy with others."

"Tang Ying is said to still be obsessed with you. Is this true?" Li Yuxian asked relentlessly.

Xu Shijiu ignored Li Yuxian and began to lower his head to read the report on the formation of the 5th brigade that Gao Shenxing had just submitted. As early as when he arrived in Erlong Mountain, Gao Shenxing had suggested to Xu Shijiu that he would no longer serve as deputy commander. He would draw elite soldiers from each unit to form a special forces unit and turn it into a sharp knife for the 19th Detachment.

However, due to the limited conditions at that time, Gao Shenxing's idea was difficult to implement. But now, the 19th Detachment had a solid territory and had personnel to choose from. Gao Shenxing felt that the time to form the 5th Battalion was ripe, so he once again proposed this motion to Xu Shijiu.

Gao Shenxing's plan is said to be a plan, but it is actually a paper authorization letter.

Gao Shenxing hopes that Xu Shijiu can authorize him to draw elite troops from various regiments.

Xu Shijiu read the plan, but Li Yuxian was still there and asked unyieldingly: "Then Yu Jiaxi, has your fiancée really gone?"

"Who said that?"

Xu Shijiu had not answered yet, but a voice came in outside the door.

When Xu Shijiu and Li Yuxian looked up, Yin Shangwen had already strode in, holding a thick stack of documents in his hand. While Yin Shangwen put the documents in his hand on Xu Shijiu's table, he said to Li Yuxian: "Director Li, who did you say that the commander's fiancée is Dr. Yu, she has died?"

"Hasn't she already sank into the Yangtze River?"

"Yes, Dr. Yu sank into the Yangtze River, but she was rescued again."

"What did you say?" As soon as Yin Shangwen said this, Li Yuxian was not surprised. Xu Shijiu, who was sitting behind the table, stood up suddenly, and took two steps to get around and grabbed Yin Shangwen's shoulder. The expression on his face became both excited and ferocious, and he asked, "Shangwen, what did you say just now, Jiaxi, was she rescued?"

"Uh, Commander, don't you know?" Yin Shangwen looked at Xu Shijiu in surprise.

Yu Jiaxi was originally accompanied by He Keqi's water guerrillas to southern Anhui and was reorganized by the National Government. Yin Shangwen was then incorporated into the New Fourth Army with the guerrillas. Later, he was transferred to Yunling, Jingxian County to be the secretary of the district party committee. The headquarters of the New Fourth Army was in Yunling, and Yu Jiaxi's field hospital was also in Yunling. Yin Shangwen and Yu Jiaxi met frequently during the civil service.

Therefore, Yin Shangwen is quite familiar with Yu Jiaxi's recent situation.

Before Yin Shangwen received the order from his superiors to come to Longkou County to take office, he heard that Yu Jiaxi had left the New Fourth Army Field Hospital and went to the Ninth War Zone. He thought that Yu Jiaxi had news from Xu Shijiu, so he resolutely left the New Fourth Army to meet Xu Shijiu. When Yu Jiaxi agreed to stay, he said that she was just staying for the time being to help.

When the New Fourth Army Field Hospital gets on track, Yu Jiaxi still has to leave.

After Yin Shangwen arrived at Longkou, he accidentally met Xu Shijiu and found that Yu Jiaxi was not by Xu Shijiu. He also thought that Xu Shijiu had sent Yu Jiaxi back to the rear, so he didn't think much about it. After all, this was a matter between the couple. He, an outsider, was not easy to act too concerned, so he did not cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Later, Yin Shangwen devoted himself to the heavy work of reducing rent and interest rates, and was so busy that he forgot to mention this to Xu Shijiu.

Therefore, Xu Shijiu's current abnormal behavior made Yin Shangwen a little surprised.

"Jiaxi was really rescued? Jiaxi was really rescued?" Xu Shijiu suddenly exerted force with his hands, clenching Yin Shangwen's shoulders hurt, and even his face changed.

"Commander, you really don't know?" Yin Shangwen asked with a wry smile.

"Shangwen, tell me quickly, is Jiaxi still alive?"

"Commander, what do you want me to say this?" Yin Shangwen spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

Only then did Xu Shijiu realize his incompetence, let go of the hand that clenched Yin Shangwen's shoulder, and then asked Yin Shangwen to sit down on the chair, and then asked: "Shangwen, tell me quickly, how is Jiaxi doing?"

Yin Shangwen rescued the leopard from the water, and Hu Zhijing went to Jiangxinzhou to negotiate with the leopard, and accidentally mentioned Xu Shijiu's result and led to Yu Jiaxi's plot and talked about it again. Yin Shangwen kept talking until Yu Jiaxi arrived in Yunling, but was temporarily stayed in the field hospital because she was persuaded by Xiang Ying, deputy commander of the New Fourth Army.

After listening to Yin Shangwen's words, Xu Shijiu felt as unreal as a dream.

That day in the cold river water, Xu Shijiu watched Yu Jiaxi sink to the bottom of the Yangtze River. The heart-wrenching pain can still be felt clearly today. Sometimes when you dream at midnight, Xu Shijiu still feels a burst of pain in his heart. Xu Shijiu thought he had missed Jiaxi forever, but he never expected that Jiaxi would still be alive.

"It seems that Dr. Yu is really heartless." Li Yuxian's inappropriate voice suddenly penetrated, saying, "The commander missed her and was almost crazy, but she stayed in the field hospital of the New Fourth Army for more than a year. Didn't she know that someone was missing her and waiting for her? Or did he already have a new love in the New Fourth Army?"

Xu Shijiu frowned. He never believed that Yu Jiaxi would betray him, but it was an indisputable fact that she had been staying in Yunling and staying in the field hospital of the New Fourth Army. She asked Yin Shangwen again: "Shangwen, Jiaxi is still in Yunling and is still working in the field hospital directly under the New Fourth Army's headquarters?"

Yunling is not far from Longkou, only two or three hundred miles apart.

At this moment, Xu Shijiu wanted to put on his wings and fly to Yunling.

Yin Shangwen gave Xu Shijiu a basin of cold water after the next words and said, "Commander, Dr. Yu left Yunling more than half a month ago. I thought she had news about you, so I went to you. I really didn't expect that Commander, you didn't know that Dr. Yu was still alive. If I had known, I would have told you earlier."

Xu Shijiu couldn't help feeling lost, and his excitement calmed down a little.

If Yu Jiaxi is still in Yunling, Xu Shijiu will be able to meet in two days at most. But now Yu Jiaxi has left Yunling and only said that she has gone to the ninth war zone, but she doesn't know where she went. The two of them want to meet again, but they don't know when they will wait. This is really a fate to make people feel bad.

(Split Line)

It's really a mess of luck. Xu Shijiu didn't know that Yu Jiaxi was in Longxugou, not far from Longkou.

More than half a month ago, Yu Jiaxi decided to leave Yunling, saying that she did not believe the news of Xu Shijiu's death and was determined to go to the Ninth War Zone to inquire about the news of Xu Shijiu. In fact, deep down in her heart, Yu Jiaxi already believed it. The reason why she left Yunling and rushed to the Ninth War Zone was actually just to confirm the news of Xu Shijiu's death.

As for what to do after confirming the news of Xu Shijiu's death, Yu Jiaxi never thought about it.

But there is one thing Yu Jiaxi is very sure. Even if Xu Shijiu is really gone, she will never commit suicide. She will use her hands and her medical skills to rescue as many wounded people as possible, and continue Xu Shijiu's unfinished career on another battlefield until she finally wins the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and drives Japan out of China

There are two roads to go from Yunling to the defense zone of the Ninth War Zone. One is to take a detour through western Zhejiang and southern Jiangxi. Although this road is far away, it is better to be safe because it is all the defense zones of the National Army along the way; the other is to go through Qingyang and Longkou and then smuggle through Poyang Lake. This road is closer, but it has to pass through the Japanese army's defense zone, which is relatively dangerous.

Liu Chang, who was responsible for escorting Yu Jiaxi, had already known in advance that Xu Shijiu was in Longkou, so he advocated going to western Zhejiang and southern Jiangxi. However, Yu Jiaxi insisted on going to Longkou, and even did not hesitate to go alone. Liu Chang had no choice but to agree, but Liu Chang still avoided Erlong Mountain under the control of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui as much as possible.

If you don’t walk on Erlong Mountain, you can only walk on the Longxugou stronghold under the control of Japan.
