In this world, there are many things that cannot be changed by humans.It's clearly right in front of you, but you have no choice but to accept it.In front of these things, you are powerless and vulnerable, as fragile as a weed by the river that will break when the wind blows.

For example, life and death.

For example, people's hearts.

In the dim ancestral hall, there are only two white candles burning day and night, and it is impossible to distinguish day and night, and it is impossible to see the darkness.A servant girl squeaked and pushed the door open a thin crack, then quietly put a piece of paper on the ground, and called softly: "Second Master."

The person kneeling on the cold floor is more like a statue carved out of white jade, his clothes and body are motionless, as if he has never heard of it.

The servant girl looked around and whispered again: "Second Master, there is news from the south!"

The word "South" seemed to have touched a certain nerve of this statue in an instant, causing him to have the aura that a living person should have in his eyes, and turned his head: "How?"

There was some hesitation on the servant girl's face, she pursed her lower lip lightly, and finally did not answer, but just handed the piece of paper on the ground into his hand.

With trembling hands, Zhang Yiran hurriedly unfolded the thin paper in his hand, and wrote a few lines of words carefully in small script on the top:

On February 21, Jia Huben led 300 elite soldiers to find a path to attack the Japanese pirates' lair, but lost the enemy and was imprisoned without reinforcements. About [-] of his men were killed or injured, and finally broke through desperately.

No trace.

These four words seem to have a miserable blood color, piercing into the eyes all of a sudden, making Zhang Yiran can't help closing his eyes.He took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, what he saw were these two sentences that made him feel cold from head to toe.

Desperate to break through, no trace, no reinforcements...

He unconsciously repeated these three words several times in his mouth, and for a while, even the last ray of anger seemed to be sucked out of his body alive, and his whole body was powerless when he saw it.

"Second Master!" Yin Qiu exclaimed, and hurriedly helped him up a little, "Second Master, are you alright?"

Zhang Yiran didn't answer, his eyes just stared at a certain place in the void, after a while, Fang Niu asked softly, "Yinqiu, tell me, can he blame me?"

"This disaster was originally caused by me. It was I who had some doubts about the accounts of Ping'an Prefecture, so I sent people to investigate, and finally caused the eldest prince to lose himself, and had to cut off his brother to protect himself; Under the watchful eyes of everyone, I did not hesitate to pick up the whip and beat him up; it was me who had a grudge against him, and I had already had a grudge with him when he entered the palace, and I was destined to have a hard time with the First Prince in this life."

He muttered, but the flames of anger rose more and more in his eyes: "But all of this is me, why is it an innocent bystander who did this crime for me in the end!"

Maybe it's because he hasn't had a good rest in the past few days, his face has become pale and thinner, and the high and mighty power of the past has disappeared, leaving only a person who looks like he was folded out of white paper, thin and powerless .

Yin Qiu's eyes turned red, and she persuaded, "Second Master, even without you, the jade of Third Master Jia would have caused trouble sooner or later...why are you torturing yourself like this... ..”

"No," Zhang Yiran said in a low voice, "I would rather never see him than to be the one who pushed him into such pain."

He accepted such a satisfactory apprentice, although he was a bit stupid, but fortunately he had a pure mind, was hardworking and read well.The second master of the Zhang family was full of thoughts on sending this apprentice all the way to Qingyun Road.

However, right now, Qingyun Road has only climbed two or three tenths, but he personally sent his little apprentice into this bottomless quagmire!

How can you not hate yourself?How can you not blame yourself?

"But Second Master, what can you do?" Yin Qiu panicked, "Madam has ordered people in the house to watch Second Master all the time. Right now, Second Master can't even walk through the gate of Zhang's residence, let alone—"

She swallowed the second half of the sentence into her heart, but never said it.

What's more, you have always treated your wife like an imperial edict, obeying everything, and obeying everything.Now that my wife is crying, making trouble and hanging herself, can you have any other solution?

When the imperial decree had just arrived at Rongguo Mansion, Zhang Yiran wanted to resign from his office and go to the South China Sea with his stupid apprentice.Because of this incident, he was already full of guilt towards his stupid apprentice, even if he risked his life, he had to keep Baoyu safe and sound.

But when he returned to the room and was about to go out after packing up his things, he saw Mrs. Zhang standing in front of the door with a crowd of servants, holding a white silk tightly in her hand. Seeing her son coming out, Fang Meimu said with tears: "If you dare to step out of this door, I will use this thing to strangle myself to death!"

...Until now, the second master of the Zhang family knew that his mother was the person who understood him best in the world.

Knowing where his weakness lies, knowing that his concern for Baoyu in his heart has exceeded the scope of what a master and apprentice should be, knowing that he is a true pure and filial person...

So she did not hesitate to go directly to her weakness, and in order to prevent her son from resigning from office and heading to the South China Sea, she wrapped the long white silk around her soft neck in front of all the servants.

At that moment Zhang Yiran had tears in his eyes, he let out a long sigh, but under his mother's firm eyes and tears, he finally bowed down completely.

Zhang Yiran did not dare to gamble with the life and death of his biological mother. He has been a filial son for more than ten years, and has been walking on the path clearly marked by his parents and him without hesitation.

And he can only be such a filial and obedient son forever.So he had no choice but to extinguish the faint flames in his heart, and obediently be his puppet in Zhang's mansion, like a puppet whose limbs are manipulated by others.

"It's not your fault," Yin Qiu said with tears, "Second Master, you should eat some food..."

"no need."

The figure in Tsing Yi just sat indifferently, in the semi-dark ancestral hall, it seemed to have solidified into a statue.

After a long time, Yin Qiu finally got another sentence from him: "Send this piece of paper to Duke Huguo's Mansion."

--------

At the same time, a drenched little head suddenly popped up on the surface of the sea that was rolling with waves along the coast of the South China Sea.The little head poked out of the water with great effort, glanced at the direction, and then tried to swim towards the ground not far away.

Many black heads appeared one after another behind him, and they swam over after him, and landed exhausted.

One of them, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and muscular body, was none other than Li Zhen.He wrung out his wet clothes, wrung out a large puddle of sea water, and pissed a few times. He lay paralyzed on the beach for a long time before he went to pat other people's cheeks.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Among the five hundred elite soldiers, more than half are water-permeable.Since childhood, he has been doing everything from stabbing, holding his breath, and catching fish in the river. He has practiced both of them very skillfully, so he quickly regained his strength.Only one of them was still lying on the beach, his figure was quite slender, his dark hair was soaked, and scattered casually beside his face, his small face was very pale.

"What the hell," Li Zhen said with a frown, "We went to the Japanese pirates' lair by the small path. Are you ready?"

He was right. After Baoyu and the others came out of that village, they followed the long-abandoned path buried in the weeds to find the temporary residence of the Japanese pirates on the shore. When they really made a move, there were already a few bands of Japanese pirates lying in ambush here quietly, and unexpectedly beat Baoyu and others by surprise.

"There is no other way," Baoyu gritted his teeth seeing that the reinforcements had not arrived for a long time, "Kill!"

The tragic situation in that village just now is still vivid in my mind, and the cries of the father who lost his beloved daughter are still lingering in my ears.Hundreds of Daqing elite soldiers gritted their teeth, and their eyes could emit a wolf-like blue light.

This is their Daqing land, and this is their Daqing people!How can you allow others to do evil in this matter? !

With such a stern aura, the Japanese pirates who were surrounded by others were not aware of being startled, and were a little frightened for a moment, and couldn't help but backed up a few steps.Just remembering how many people he had, Fang plucked up his courage again and aimed his glaring knife at them.

"Kill ah-"

Everyone worked so hard that blood was dripping from their bodies, and blood dripped from the corners of their clothes.Seeing more and more enemies, they have already lost half of their brothers.The reinforcements did not arrive for a long time, so Baoyu had no choice but to lead them back while killing the enemy, until they reached the edge of a cliff.

When there was nothing to do, Baoyu chuckled lightly and said, "Everyone, are you willing to fight to the death with me?"

Afterwards, he looked at the group of soldiers in front of him who were already exhausted, and jumped into the sea first without hesitation.

"Fortunately, Mrs. Xiaohua has already prepared, Shilling us to hide a lot of water plants with empty roots..." One person muttered, "Damn, otherwise I really thought I was going to drown this time In the sea."

A few people echoed one after another, but suddenly someone asked, "Hey, where is Mrs. Xiaohua?"

Everyone was shocked, busy searching on the beach, and finally found Jia Xiaohua, who was hit by the waves and landed on the shore.A beauty is a beauty after all, even though she is quite embarrassed at this time, she looks very pitiful, with her eyes closed tightly, she clearly looks pitiful.Seeing that he still hadn't woken up, everyone hurriedly lifted him up and carefully placed him on a smooth white stone.

"Okay, now the problem is very serious," Li Zhen said after a long silence, "Which one of us is going to fight Jia Huben?"

cross breath...

Wait, mouth to mouth?

Immediately, more than half of the soldiers present blushed with indescribable blushes, and silently stretched out their hands to cover their faces.

The author has something to say: Thank you Qiangwei the day before yesterday for the two mines thrown by Jiduhua~

So, you guessed right, Master is really not attacking.

Although I personally like this character very much, but he has too many concerns, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law (...) is not easy to handle...

Whether it was that era or this era, it takes courage to come out.Although Master Master is very cute and arrogant, but he cares more about his family than his stupid apprentice, it is impossible to give up his mother for Baoyu, so from the beginning, he is the male supporting role~

This was seen by himself not long after he appeared on the stage, it was really not easy!give a like! ! !

It's time to attack the scene soon!

It's just a jump up~
