The secret war is silent

Madam invited you to attend a banquet at Yunxiu Tower? Gong Hui was also surprised. Madam's social circle was the top of the party and state.

Many people squeezed their heads trying to get in.

However, what Luo Yao dislikes the most is being in social circles, and he also hates participating in various social activities the most.

If you have this time, you might as well study the password.

I can't refuse this. I have to bring a female companion with me. Do you have to accompany me tomorrow night? Luo Yao took off his coat and unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and said.

I?

Can you let me go alone, or find someone else? Luo Yao asked back.

But, I have never attended Madam's banquet, and such a banquet must have certain dress requirements. Should I wear a military uniform or other clothes?

We are both soldiers, so let's wear military uniforms. Anyway, the purpose of my wife's banquet is to welcome General Chennault. Luo Yao said.

Okay. Gong Hui thought about it and nodded.

Although it is only a small-scale internal banquet and not many people are eligible to participate, there will definitely be people trying their best to exploit such a banquet.

Luo Yao didn't take it too seriously. He was not the protagonist of the banquet. As long as people arrived, he would be polite and not be rude.

Time flew by and it was the evening of the next day.

Luo Yao and Gong Huigong took a car to Huangshan Mansion.

On the highway near Mount Huangshan, warning signs of the military restricted area have been erected inside, which can be clearly seen, as well as garrison police with guns and live ammunition. These are the security forces around the old man, the Attendant Room Guard Group.

The leader of this regiment holds the rank of lieutenant general. In other armies, a lieutenant general is at least the commander of the main division.

And in the attendant's room is the head of the guard regiment.

In addition to the guard regiment, there is also the special agent regiment. These two troops constitute the main defense force around the old man.

In addition, there is also the special agent force of the military commander. The wife is surrounded by female agents born in the military commander for personal protection.

The old man spared no effort in protecting his wife's safety.

After checking the documents and invitations, the soldiers at the checkpoint saluted with a military salute and released Luo Yao and Gong Hui.

Although Luo Yao knew about Huangshan Mansion, neither of them had been to Yunxiu Tower, so they had to wait until they parked their cars.

Walk over under the guidance of the greeter.

In fact, the banquet was not held in Yunxiu Tower. The interior space of Yunxiu Tower is not large. It is just the place where the old man works and lives in Shancheng.

With so many people coming, there was obviously not enough space, so we had to set up a place on a platform not far from Yunxiu downstairs.

This place is spacious and relatively close to the air-raid shelter in Yunxiu Tower. If something happens, you can also take shelter in an emergency.

It will not affect Yunxiu Tower.

It can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

When Luo Yao and Gong Hui came, many people had already arrived. Although he didn't know many people, he had more interactions with the attendants' room.

Naturally, I knew some of the people, so it was not surprising to see acquaintances.

Moreover, many Americans have already come to the scene. Judging from their clothes, they should be pilots, but none of them have military ranks.

They are the Volunteer Air Corps, air force pilots who have retired from the US military, so naturally they have no military rank for the time being.

Among them were officers and pilots from the Chinese Air Force.

After arriving at the scene under the guidance of the waiter, Luo Yao and Gong Hui had no intention of joining in the fun. They enjoyed the scenery near the official residence within the scope of the event.

At this time, the sunset on the horizon has not yet finished setting, and the clouds are steaming and glowing. Due to the busy work, there are few opportunities to appreciate this kind of natural beauty.

Coming to the banquet is a rare opportunity.

Gong Hui was also full of joy. Although she and Luo Yao lived under the same roof every day, they were doing work together every day. It was rare for two people to be together, holding hands, letting everything go, and just being together without caring about anything. Together.

There is a small pavilion in front of Yunxiu Tower. Looking into the distance, you can see the scenery of the two rivers and the gentle mountain breeze blowing. It is really pleasant.

In the open space, the lights gradually brightened.

There are also more people.

Luo Yao saw Chennault in the crowd. He was accompanied by a translator who kept introducing the Chinese people present to him.

Luo Yao didn't have a mentality of worshiping foreigners. It didn't matter to him whether he knew Chennault or not, so he would rather stay on the sidelines than get involved.

Fortunately, it was getting dark at this time, so he was not very eye-catching and not many people noticed him.

Gong Hui and I found a seat nearby, each took a glass of watermelon juice and drank it slowly.

The so-called banquet is a bit like a bonfire party, and it is completely prepared to cater to Americans like Chennault.

Western living habits are definitely not used to Chinese banquets. It is unrealistic for foreigners to eat around the table in a disciplined manner. They value freedom more.

After Chennault appeared, soon the big shots also appeared, and a group of people walked out of Yunxiu Tower.

Luo Yao saw He Yaozu, Chen Bulei, Tang Zong and others, and of course today's protagonist, the lady wearing a Yindan Shilin cheongsam.

Of course, accompanying her was an old man wearing a military uniform and holding a civilized stick. The two walked down with smiles on their faces.

The old man is here, and it is impossible for everyone present to sit down. Even if they have nothing to do with him, they all have to stand up.

General Chennault, welcome, welcome!

Hello, distinguished Chairman. Chennault acted very politely and bowed slightly.

Madam also greeted Chennault, shook hands, and implicitly expressed welcome.

Chennault, a retired U.S. Air Force officer, was able to come to China to help the Chinese fight against the Japanese invaders. This spirit is admirable.

He is one of the Americans whom he most recognizes and admires.

The old man's public appearances are usually very brief. It's already a big deal to show up. Ten minutes is already a huge honor.

Tonight is a banquet hosted by Madam, so the old man naturally has to stay a little longer, not to mention that the invitees are Americans.

But after all, the old man had too many military and political matters to deal with, and today's host was his wife, so after staying for almost a quarter of an hour, he simply said Excuse me and left.

But Madam did not leave. She stayed with Chennault and others and had a great time chatting. Madam spoke good English and could communicate directly with Chennault and others without the need for an interpreter.

At the banquet, many young women shuttled back and forth, matching up with the American pilots attending the banquet...

There is also a small orchestra playing bright and joyful music.

In fact, Luo Yao and Gong Hui wanted to leave as soon as the old man left. It was really pointless to stay.

However, the appearance of a person made him change his attention.

Tonight's banquet, Madam obviously has a purpose, but this purpose can be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

He met Su Yinger.

Su Ying'er has been very active recently, not only in the entertainment industry, but also joined political women's organizations such as the Women's Rescue Society.

Moreover, she showed great interest in politics and even published articles in newspapers as an actress to speak out for the rights of women and children.

In a short period of time, she became a shining star in the political circles of the mountain city, and even many celebrities expressed their praise for her.

As her fame rose, she participated in more and more political activities, and even did something shocking.

She personally admitted her relationship with Li Haihuai, but she and Li Haihuai were just young girls who worshiped the anti-Japanese hero and did not intend to destroy Li Haihuai's family. Now, Li Haihuai has divorced, and the military commander is not allowed to get married. She is willing to wait until the ban is lifted!

This explanation caused a huge sensation in the mountain city, and Su Ying'er's character, who dared to love and hate, was instantly established.

And those who wanted to attack her by digging up her past black history disappeared in an instant.

Moreover, Su Ying'er admitted that she liked Li Haihuai. Not only could the military commander not punish Li Haihuai, but he could also not use methods against her. Otherwise, the military commander himself would not be able to bear the public opinion caused.

Obviously, someone was behind all this. If Su Ying'er really had this ability, she would have taken action long ago. Why did she wait until now?

And all this happened after Linda appeared in Shancheng.

Even so, Su Ying'er was not qualified to appear at the dinner that his wife invited Chennault and many American pilots.

How did she get in?

There were some situations where it was difficult for Luo Yao to come forward and inquire, but as Gong Hui was a woman, it was much more convenient.

I found out that Su Ying'er was the guest selected to perform at the banquet. It was arranged by the second lady of the Kong family. Gong Hui came back soon and gave Luo Yao some surprising news.

When did Su Ying'er have a relationship with Miss Kong Er?

I don't know. This needs to be investigated. After Su Ying'er announced her relationship with Li Haihuai, she became the target of many people's attention. In many cases, we were unable to monitor her throughout the process, Gong Hui said.

...

Shall we leave?

No, if Su Ying'er doesn't leave tonight, neither will we. Luo Yao shook his head.

Do you suspect she will cause trouble tonight?

I don't doubt it. I always feel something is wrong when she appears here. Anyway, knowing that we are here, she won't be able to do anything tonight. Luo Yao said.

Okay, I'll accompany you. Gong Hui nodded.

Sure enough, Su Ying'er sang two songs on the simple stage set up for the banquet, one in Chinese and one in English. They were songs from Chennault's hometown, and won bursts of applause.

Even Chennault went over in person, toasted Su Yinger with a glass of wine, and thanked her for her singing.

The banquet did not last long. After all, this was a restricted military zone, and this was not the time for singing and dancing.

Soon, as his wife left, Chennault seemed to be losing his temper. After leaving with his men, everyone also left one after another.

Luo Yao and Gong Hui had no choice but to leave, but when they left, they saw Su Ying'er getting into Miss Kong Er's car.
