Zhang Liaotian led the Security Bureau and began to gradually clean up spies from various countries in several northern provinces. This time, he cleaned up not only Japanese spies, but also spies such as Su, Citi, Faguo, and Eagle were also targets of cleaning up. The great powers protested, "Those are ordinary civilians, not spies."

Yan Zihui was unmoved and said cruelly, "The cleaning activity will not end until my fiancée wakes up." He wants to fulfill his promise to Yi Huan and make the people who hurt her pay a thousand times the price.

After several years, the Japanese carried out assassination again, which shows that the Japanese have prepared the Second Chinese-Japanese War. The last time China won, no one dared to guarantee whether China could defeat Japan this time.

Yan Zihui said at the military meeting, "Solidify the foundation and further strengthen the military strength. The army is the basis for us to ensure our rule. This will not change." While the enemy is still eyeing each other, it is very necessary to strengthen the construction of the army.

The generals nodded one after another. If the military power is not strong, it would be difficult for the Chinese New Army to win again. If it is not done well, it would pay a huge price that it could not bear. Before the war begins, the training of the troops must be further strengthened and the combat effectiveness of the troops must be improved.

"Although the great powers do not want to see the power of Japan, they also do not want to see the rise of China. The arrogant soldiers will be defeated. From now on, please ask all units to carry out targeted training. I hope that in the next battle with the Japanese, we will still be able to win." Yan Zihui's unwillingness to have been in vain for all his efforts.

"Seventh Young Master, please rest assured. We will definitely train our troops to ensure that we will definitely defeat the Japanese in the future." Peng Xiguan, the commander of the Third Infantry Division, shouted.

Other generals also expressed their opinions.

Yan Zi nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Next topic..."

As the meeting was about to end, the adjutant came in, "The Governor, the eldest son, the Seventh Young Master, and the Citimate Special Envoy will arrive at the first port in Jingu tomorrow."

Yan Zi stood up and said, "The meeting is here. Please ask Minister Zhang to go to Tianjin to receive the Citi envoy."

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Yan Zikang asked.

"No need." Yan Zihui felt unwilling to be a pawn for Citi people. However, China needed Citi's capital, technology and equipment. The industries he and Yi Huan alone were not enough to support the rapid development of the north.

Citigroup used the Chinese New Army to restrain Japan, but Yan Zihui also used Citigroup to increase its strength and defeat Japan. China and Citigroup were allies with a combination of interests at this moment.

At about 2 pm the next day, a seaship was docked on the dock and walked down from the seaship. Several tall white men were in the middle of 40 years old. He was the special envoy sent by the President of Citi. Zhang Shaochuan went forward and greeted him in fluent foreign language.

When the car drove from the dock to the hotel and looked at the old and somewhat dilapidated buildings, Mortonsia's eyes were full of contempt and said unceremoniously, "Grandmaster, China is too backward, even more behind Citiland fifty years ago."

"This is just a temporary backwardness. Chinese people will work hard and change the status quo." Zhang Shaochuan replied without hesitation or humility.

"I really hope this journey will end sooner." If the Northern Chinese government had not been useful to Citigroup, Malton Sia really wanted to turn around and return home.

"If the negotiation goes well, the envoy will not stay for too long." Zhang Shaochuan said lightly. He didn't want to entertain the arrogant guests who despise his country.

When Zhang Shaochuan was accompanying the Citi envoy, Yan Zi returned to accompany Yi Huan, "Huan'er, do you know where I first saw you?"

Yi Huan, who was unconscious, naturally would not answer him. Yan Zi replied, "It was on the street. That day, you were wearing a pink white and green dress, holding a pot of orchids, and they were pretty and lovely. I was moved when I saw it, and I wanted to find an opportunity to meet you. But I was too afraid of scaring you suddenly, so I had to leave first. After occupying Jizhou City, what I wanted to do the most was to kidnap you home and be my wife."

He talked about the past in a nagging manner, and Yi Huan's lips curled slightly, but the curve was too small, and Yan Zihui didn't see it.

At noon on January 18, 1924, martial law was imposed on Jizhoucheng Railway Station and the army temporarily blocked the place. When a train from Jingu arrived at the station, a group of white men were picked up by a small car that had been prepared, the army lifted the blockade of the railway station.

Mortonsia met senior officials from the Northern Chinese government in the Disciplinary Building. Zhang Shaochuan introduced the two sides, and after greetings, he entered the banquet hall. At this moment, it was already evening, and he directly welcomed the Citi envoy and his group.

The food of China is definitely a powerful tool to bring people closer together. Mortonsia was too satisfied with eating it, and she was less contempt for China's backwardness. She touched her bell and round belly and praised, "His Excellency the President, your country's food culture is really profound."

"Empress, if you like it, I can send you a cook to take you back to Citiland. In this way, you can eat these delicacies often." Governor Yan smiled.

"His Excellency President, thank you for your kindness. If you keep enjoying such delicacies, it will make me degenerate and lose my ambitions." Maltonsia shook her head and refused.

Governor Yan was just polite, so he would not mention it. After the dinner, Malton Sia and his group were arranged to rest in the heavily guarded state hotel.

The next day, the two sides held formal talks. Citigroup was the ambassador of Maltonsia and Citigroup, and China was Yan Zihui and Zhang Shaochuan (to avoid not being able to pass the trial, I will not write down on how to negotiate in detail).

After a fierce debate, the two sides reached an agreement that Citigroup provided China with 30 million US dollars in aid and 300 million yuan in interest-free loans. In addition to promising to purchase how many machinery and equipment from Citigroup, China also sent 800 international students to study at Citigroup every year.

The negotiations were completed in just one morning and everyone was happy. In the next few days, Yan Zihui and Zhang Shaochuan accompanied the special envoy and the Citimate Minister to visit the steel factory, pharmaceutical factory, etc., which gave Mortonsia a further understanding of the development of China. "Your Excellency Shaoshang, your ability is very good."

"Thank you for the praise." Yan Zi smiled faintly.

On January 25, Mortonsia and his group boarded the train to Jingu. Zhang Shaochuan was traveling with him. They would take the ship tomorrow to return to Citiland. Yan Zihui personally took them to the train station.

When he returned from the train station, he passed by a bookstore. Yan Zi shouted back, "Stop." It's time to change the book and read it to Huan'er.

Of course, if Yan Zihui knew that he would meet Wei Meiyu in a bookstore, he would rather reread a collection of Byron's poems. Wei Meiyu's eyes were high when he saw Yan Zihui, "Mr. Yan, you come to buy books too! What a coincidence!"

Yan Zihui ignored her, bought a collection of essays, and turned around and left. Wei Meiyu chased her out, "Mr. Yan, there is no book I want to buy here. Can you send me to the department store?"

"You can call a rickshaw or take a tram." Yan Zihui replied coldly.

Wei Meiyu didn't give up and ran to him to stop him, "Mr. Yan, I have something to say to you, it's very important." She believed that with her eloquence, she could make Yan Zi feel moved. Even if she couldn't replace Yi Huan, she could still have a place in his heart.

"Get out." Yan Zihui's face turned gloomy. He hated such a woman who threw herself into her arms and had ulterior motives.

Yang Yihua reached out to stop Wei Meiyu, "Miss, please respect yourself."

Yan Zi got back into the car and left. Wei Meiyu stomped her feet in anger. She was not such a person who gave up easily. The more difficult it was, the more she liked to challenge. Yan Zihui's true colors towards her made her desire to conquer her rapidly.

Yan Zihui took the collection of prose to Yigongguan, sat by Yi Huan's bed and read, "Outside the window, through the night, the confused mountain mist probably covered the entire peak... The rain stopped, and the eaves were still ringing...'The spring water is as blue as the sky, and the painting boat sleeps whenever the rain is gone'... There are green pine trees around. Whenever they are tired of farming, they throw down their hoes..."

Days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye it was the 28th day of the Gregorian calendar and the 24th day of the 12th lunar month. Yi Huan still didn't wake up. Yan Zihui had not reunited with his family for the New Year, so he stayed by Yi Huan's side, "Huan'er, today I celebrate the New Year, my mother-in-law made mutton wontons with her hand. If you can't pay it back, I'll finish it all."

The person on the bed did not respond, and Yan Zi touched her face back, "Huan'er, wake up."

"Fourth aunt, my wife invites you out for dinner." Shaoxia stood at the door and said.

"Huan'er, I'll have dinner and I'll be with you again." Yan Zi got up and went out.

"Xuanling, don't leave, I want to eat wontons too." Yi Huan thought she had spoken out, but in fact, she hadn't spoken for almost a month, her throat was dry and she couldn't make any sound, so it was impossible for Yan Zihui to hear it.

Yan Zi lifted the curtain and walked out. Yi Huan tried hard to open her eyes, her lips opened and closed, "Xuanling, Xuanling."

Yi Huan couldn't hear her voice and realized something. She didn't make any more sounds and waited quietly. But after she woke up, her physical needs arise. She was so hungry! She just heard Yan Zi reply and it was the New Year's Day. The day she left the hospital was December 31st. It seemed that the lunar calendar was the 24th day of the lunar calendar. In other words, she hadn't eaten for a month, no wonder she was so hungry.

About half an hour later, when Yi Huan thought she would faint from hunger, Shaoxia came in, "Miss, I'll change you to a soup girl... Miss, Miss, you wake up!"

Yi Huan blinked, and Shaoxia turned around happily and ran out, "Master, Madam, Miss Fourth, Miss Fourth, woke up!"

She shouted all the way to the front yard, alarming all the Yi family, "Xiao Si woke up? Really woke?" Yi's mother couldn't believe it. After all, Yi Huan had been in a coma for thirty days and had not invited famous foreign doctors.

"Miss Four woke up and blinked at me." Shaoxia smiled happily. She has been with Yi Huan since she was eight years old. Yi Huan is not only her master, but also teaches her to read and takes her abroad. She vows to serve Yi Huan well for the rest of her life.

The Yi family and Yan Zi went back to Yi Huan's yard. When they arrived at the door, Yi's father stopped everyone, "The wind was in, and the cold air was too heavy. Even if Xiao Si woke up, his body was still weak. It would be better not to have too many people in."

So there were only four people entering the bedroom, Yifu, Yimu, Tang Shuangyun and Yan Zihui, and the others stayed in the hall. Yifu was a little afraid to get close to the bed. She was afraid that Shaoxia would misread it. She was afraid that she would see her daughter still unconscious. Yan Zihui was anxious and rushed over, "Huan'er, you are awake!"

"Xuanling." Yi Huan called silently, "Dad, mother, sister-in-law."

"Xiao Si, Xiao Si." Yi's mother cried with joy. Yi's father also turned red in his eyes. He thought he wanted a white-haired man to send a black-haired man. Tang Shuangyun covered her mouth, and tears flashed in her eyes.

"Mom, I'm hungry, I want to eat." Yi Huan said silently.

"Little sister, what did you say?" Tang Shuangyun stared at Yi Huan's mouth, "Speak slowly."

"I'm hungry, I'm thirsty, I want to drink water, I want to eat." Yi Huan said word by word.

"Let the cook cook cook millet porridge quickly." Yi's mother immediately instructed.

Tang Shuangyun poured a cup of warm water, Yan Zi took it back, "Sister-in-law, I'll feed it."

Tang Shuangyun smiled, and did not argue with him. She carefully helped Yi Huan up and stuffed a large cushion under her. Yan Zi sat back beside the bed and fed Yi Huan water with a spoon. After sip, Yi Huan drank half a cup in one cup, which quenched her thirst and her throat was not so dry. "Is the mutton wonton delicious? How much have you eaten?"

Yan Zi replied in surprise and asked, "Did you hear me?"

Yi Huan curled his lips, "I can hear what you said, but I can't wake up."

"It's good to wake up now. Let your second brother-in-law come to check you tomorrow. You have just woken up. Say less and take more care of yourself." Yi's father said caringly.

Yi Huan didn't say anything anymore. In front of Yi's father, Yi's mother and others, Yan Zihui couldn't say anything to her. After a while, the millet porridge was cooked and the top layer of rice soup came over. Yan Zihui drank Yi Huan and drank half a bowl.

There was something in the stomach, and Yi Huan felt more comfortable. She sighed with satisfaction, but scared Yan Zihui and asked nervously, "Huan'er, where are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, I'm not feeling uncomfortable, don't worry, I'm awake and will not be in a coma again." Yi Huan comforted him.

"Okay." Yan Zi smiled gently. This month, he was worried, afraid of losing her forever.

Yi Huan just woke up and was still very weak. In order not to disturb her rest, Yi's father and others went out. Shaoxia came in to serve Yi Huan Xiaojie and helped her to bed to rest. Yan Zihui went home happily. When he entered the door, he was scolded by Mrs. Yan, "Do you don't remember your surname is Yan? Are you going to go to the Yi family to be a son-in-law?"

Yan Zihui was in a good mood and said, "Mom, Huan'er is awake."

"Awakened! Really?" Mrs. Yan didn't believe it very much.

"Really, Huan'er is awake." Yan Zi turned his lips and raised up.
Chapter completed!
