Forbidden City of Heze + Dalufei
Chapter 53 Qi Zi
The bomber was intercepted by the fierce artillery fire on the ground, and lost the vigor of the rampage at the beginning, and the momentum gradually weakened.Under the cover of thick smoke, the two trotted all the way back to the officer's dormitory in the logistics area, where more than a dozen members of the rebel army stationed there were already preparing to retreat.
"You and them," Yan Liang said quickly to Ling Ju and the soldiers beside him without stopping, "Go and check every locked room, bring everyone out, and wait for me in the hall."
After he finished speaking, he ran up the stairs without looking back, and rushed to the top floor in one breath.
Due to the impact of the bombing, the window panes along the way were shattered, and the corridor was already filled with choking smoke. Yan Liang coughed violently, covered his mouth and nose with his elbow, and went to the second place. A room goes by.
He broke the lock with one shot, then kicked the door open and broke in.What's worse is that the room is also filled with scorched smoke that got in from nowhere, and the granular black smoke floats in the air, seriously interfering with the clarity of sight.He looked around the small living room, but saw no one.
The irritation of the nasal mucosa made him want to cough constantly, but the windows of the room were locked, and the heavy curtains were tightly drawn, preventing any light from coming in.Without even thinking about it, Yan Liang opened the curtains, opened some gaps in the rusty windows, and restored some ventilation in the room.
As soon as I finished this movement, I heard a faint sound behind me.He immediately wanted to turn around, but suddenly an arm wrapped around his waist, and then a sharp hard object firmly pressed against his abdomen.
The masculine instinct made him immediately suppress any rash moves.Yan Liang lowered his head and saw that apart from the thin arm that tightly strangled his waist, a pair of steel scissors was poking down at his crotch. The tip of the knife had been deeply embedded. Once intervened, he probably won't be able to be an upright man in his life.
The most vulnerable part can feel the stabbing pain caused by the foreign object. Although the hand holding the scissors is slender, it is tense due to the force, and blue blood vessels emerge on the back of the hand, as if stabbing the scissors in the next second. It was as if the strength had accumulated to a critical point, and it was frightening.
"Ma'am," probably never expected to encounter such a threat, compared to the feeling of being pointed at the temple with a gun, it feels much better.Yanliang's throat tightened, and he said slowly, "You make me feel like a rapist who is about to commit a crime."
"Sorry. You are too tall and it is difficult to reach your neck. This position is more convenient." Although it was an emergency sneak attack, he calmly used his brain.The voice behind him was so steady that it was even a bit gentle, it sounded like an experienced woman.
"Please throw away the gun." Qi Zi then said softly, conveying the awareness that there is no way out.Yanliang's physique was much larger than hers, and her chest had to be pressed against the man's taut back so that her arms could completely wrap around his waist.The two could almost clearly feel each other's heartbeat.
"I know what you are here for, and I know that this day will come sooner or later. Although I am willing to die to make amends, I am sorry that I cannot do what you wish. I must live." The woman hid behind his back, It made it impossible for him to see her appearance from the reflection of the glass in front of him.
Yan Liang cooperatively threw the gun in his hand onto the sofa beside him, "Are you Qi Luo's sister?" He turned his head and looked into the woman's eyes from the corner of his eye, "No wonder he deserves to be beaten like him. Jun Liu What sin did he do to meet you plague gods? He is responsible for cleaning up the mess you guys have made, and you guys have the nerve to pretend that nothing happened and live with peace of mind?"
"..." The woman's voice was obviously choked up in her throat. She raised her head to look at the stranger's side face again, and asked in surprise, "Do you know Xiao Luo and Jun Liu? Who are you?"
"Didn't Junliu tell you?" Yanliang smiled conceitedly, "Who did they rely on to escape from the capital?"
"You are his brother?" Qi Zi's dark eyes lit up, and finally remembered the existence of such a story, and the tension in his hands was obviously relaxed, "He mentioned to me that there is an elder brother in the capital, but You have severed ties with the family...how come you are here?"
"Compared to me, you are the one who deserves to be questioned, right?" Yan Liang didn't want to delve into this topic, and instead pointed the finger at her, "There are only a handful of foreigners who can marry into Shangguan's family, let alone war Period. Even if the family members agree, they should have gone through quite strict background checks, so they have not been able to find out your details, and your professionalism is really commendable."
"In Dalufei, many people have no trace of their past. To say that their identities are unknown, it is better to say that I have never had any identity," Qi Zi obviously understood the other party's accusation, and the wry smile on his lips seemed to admit everything, "Even I don't know which life is real..."
"Even if you are just an involuntary puppet, you must pay for what you have done." Yan Liang interrupted her mercilessly.The suspicion has been confirmed, and all the details are connected into a clear logic in his mind.If Yizheng's confession has set up the framework of the whole incident, then Qizi's identity can be the last piece of the puzzle.
"It's not Junliu who is treasonous and collaborating with the enemy, but you. In this way, all the unreasonable things can make sense."
He looked down at the rough calluses and scars on Qi Zi's hands, which were particularly glaring when paired with the silver-reflecting sharp weapon.Just because the first thing he saw was not the woman's face, but the hands that had been struggling to survive in the cruel world for many years, Yan Liang's intuition outlined her true appearance more accurately.Being able to approach and subdue a professional soldier from behind, with quiet and decisive movements, is impossible for an ordinary woman without any training.
"However," he immediately sneered and raised the firepower casually, "this may not be called treason, because you have been a spy for the Darufi military from the beginning to the end. In my opinion, you are also a very capable soldiers?"
There was no response, and the people behind fell into silence.The expression on Qi Zi's face changed slightly, a pair of eyes covered in shadows stared blankly ahead, she felt that the self sleeping in the deepest part of the darkness seemed to be dragged out and exposed in front of this man.
"You cannot tell anyone who you are. This is not to avoid your responsibilities. On the contrary, the responsibilities you are taking must always be borne in the future."
"my responsibility?"
"You are not a puppet without ego. You have been protecting Xiao Luo. You have assumed the responsibility of mother, sister, and lover for him. It is your love for him that has allowed him to exist until now, and it has also allowed you His life has meaning. The only thing you have to do is to continue this responsibility and keep silent for him."
"However, if you don't disclose my identity, you will be convicted of a felony."
"There is no need to sacrifice you to save me. He Ze has already fallen, and there is no need to sacrifice more people. I don't want to just gain personal relief."
"Junliu knows all about me, and accepts all about me. Xiao Luo and I were originally mere war tools at the mercy of others. Because of him, we became real people."
Qi Zi bit her lip, the words of that black-haired young man kept appearing in her mind.Her trembling hands let go of the scissors she was holding tightly, and she took a step back, "I have no desire to survive like a walking dead like now. It doesn't matter if I can't escape death, but since you know all this, please be careful." , the next one who will be killed may be you."
"Don't be self-righteous. If I intend to kill you, do you think this little trick can protect you?" Yan Liang turned around, looked at the woman's unpainted face that was dimmed due to extreme fatigue, and stepped forward to grab her. He held her hand, "Come with me, you still have something to do."
Yan Liang believed that her words were not exaggerated.If this woman fails to keep her mouth shut, the conspiracy of Dalufei and Lundu will be revealed to the world, which will undoubtedly cause another uproar, and the turmoil in He Ze will probably intensify beyond control. What's more serious is that The Eastern Alliance may also reunite to contend against all conflicts.No wonder, this potentially huge risk made all of them want to kill the weeds.
Junliu should have thought of this a long time ago, but he still handed over his family to the Dudu army. I am afraid that he can only choose the lesser of two evils.After all, no one expected that in this protracted war, apart from the tiger and wolf-like vicious Padu, Dalufei, the insidious jackal, had long been hiding in another corner for those who crawled in the dark and waited for an opportunity to pounce on their prey. When it started to brew its greedy ambition, and how it infiltrated it step by step, it is really scary to think about it.
"Junliu pleaded guilty without saying a word in order to protect you. But since you have violated the agreement first, you don't have to sit still. I still have a lot of questions to ask you. Your familiarity with Dalufei can help you." I have made a plan for the next step." Yan Liang said calmly, looking directly at her was no longer full of cold hostility, but was as serious as a trustworthy elder brother.
"I can save that kid. If there is a chance to clear his name, you are also the most important witness."
Qi Zi stared at him blankly, the light coming in from the window illuminated the young man's face, making his eyes as hot as torches.As if attracted by this man's uncompromising manner, she moved a few steps towards him, but stopped halfway.At this time, she looked at Yanliang with wide eyes, as if she was re-examining a stranger, with doubts that he could not understand appeared on her face.
"I suddenly remembered something." Inexplicably, she broke free from his hand, hugged her head tightly, her eyes danced uncomfortably, as if struggling to search for the picture in her memory, "The mastermind behind this conspiracy ...not just Daru non-military people, my employer, their background is not so simple, in fact 'that person' is..."
There was a sudden cracking sound from the glass window, and her voice came to an abrupt end.As if hit on the head by an invisible stick in the air, Qi Zi's body flew sideways under the violent impact, and fell heavily on the floor.
Yan Liang only felt a trace of warm liquid being splashed on his face, before he could make any movement, he froze in place, watching the woman in front of him fall to the ground, not moving an inch.
The curtain was flapped by a gust of wind blowing in, he turned his head suddenly, and saw a bullet hole the size of a thumb on the window, and the glass shattered in all directions like a spider web.
Is it a sniper? !Unconsciously, he bent down to dodge, and at the same time drew the curtains.
The surprise came so quickly.He then crawled to the side of Qi Zi who fell to the ground, and turned her body over.The viscous blood mixed with the brain quickly formed a thick pool on the floor, and the black bullet hole on the left side of her head was accurately opened in the temple. Due to the burst of the bullet, the other side of her head One side was bloody.Before she even had time to close her eyes, she stopped breathing completely. After the pupils dilated, the eye sockets were like two tarnished glass beads, embedded in the already empty body.
There are other people who carry out the assassination mission!When Yan Liang realized it, he couldn't help but punched the floor, extremely annoyed.Ever since he entered this room, that man has been waiting for the opportunity to strike!
At this moment, the door of the room was slammed violently, with such a haste that it made one's heart palpitate.He quickly picked up the gun and held it tightly in his hand, then leaned against the wall and approached the door, and quickly twisted the handle away.
When Ling Ju outside the door was suddenly pointed at the forehead by a gun, he took half a step back in shock, and looked at the nervous man in front of him with his mouth open.Yan Liang poked his head out cautiously and looked both sides of the corridor before putting down the gun.But when he noticed Ling Ju's expression, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"I have checked all the rooms, and there is no one alive." He shook his head heavily, "It seems that they died not long ago, and their blood is still hot. They were all shot in the head by sniper rifles, and the bullets were shot from the outside of the window. Those who came in were professional killers."
"Retreat immediately." Realizing that something was wrong, Yan Liang didn't say much. He glanced back at the woman lying on the floor, recalling the scene that just happened before him, and felt angry.
This time it was the hell, and it was completely set up.
"You and them," Yan Liang said quickly to Ling Ju and the soldiers beside him without stopping, "Go and check every locked room, bring everyone out, and wait for me in the hall."
After he finished speaking, he ran up the stairs without looking back, and rushed to the top floor in one breath.
