After Waking up Beside the Villain

It's not real anymore.

Suddenly, the hull moved, and there was a siren sound.

Zheng Yuansheng opened the small curtains and looked out at Haicheng, which was fading away under the twilight. Fang Jiming also sat up slightly and stared out of the window.

The afterglow of the setting sun spreads into the small cabin.

Li Lingbi heard two heavy sighs, one in front and one in back.

At this moment, he suddenly had a strange feeling that these two gentlemen might not want to leave.But they have to go, have to go, they have a more important mission on their shoulders.

He thought of that Mr. Yu again, would he leave again?It should not be.

Li Lingbi thought in a daze.

If he were Yu Jingzhi, he would have brought his subordinates to another place to survive, so that the green hills would not worry about firewood. There are so many progressive people in China, so many guns, how could it be my turn? To defend the city, to die?

Sooner or later, Huaguo will get rid of the flames of war and regain a new life, and there is no shortage of his own strength.He admitted that he was greedy for life and afraid of death.

He didn't understand Yu Jingzhi's stubborn behavior.

I didn't understand it before, and I don't understand it now.But maybe it was the repeated setbacks that made him sober up, or maybe it was because he had read too many Oriental Newspapers and brainwashed him. He still didn’t understand and didn’t know how to do it, but he really started to admire it. Respect such people.

Perhaps, as a newspaper said, the flames of war can be avoided, but the bottom line of the nation cannot be retreated again and again.Those things awakened by the blood of the predecessors also need the blood of the descendants to protect them.

Li Lingbi left Haicheng like this.

And Du Qi, who was still frantically looking for him, was also arrested by Du Tianming at the same time and brought back to the Tianming Club.

Gu Qishu came over to observe the punishment.

Du Qi suspected that he was the one who snatched Li Lingbi away and seriously injured him, so he was harassed and killed a lot during this period.Gu Qishu couldn't bear this kind of thing, so he visited Du Tianming, and together with Du Tianming, Du Qi was caught.

The next day, Du Qi, who was in the process of being treated, escaped from Tianminghui again while the guards were not paying attention.

But not long after leaving Tianminghui, he was found crashed to death on a deserted street.

It was a car that caused the accident, and it drove away after hitting someone. Du Tianming couldn't find it even if he tried to find it.Someone told him the word Gu, but Du Tianming didn't seem to hear it, and kept silent.

Gao Lan's men kept entering Haicheng secretly, and because they wanted to avoid Yu Jingzhi, they borrowed the cover of Tianminghui.

Today's Tianminghui can be said to exist in name only.What Du Tianming said didn't count so well.

Maybe it was the retribution of reincarnation. After a few days, Du Tianming received the news that Gu Feng took Gu Qishu and his family to Jinling to join the Dongyang people. It was only three miles away from Haicheng in the middle of the night. The land was wiped out by the people of Jianmen, Gu Feng and Gu Qishu died, leaving only the old and the weak, women and children.

This also made Du Tianming stop thinking about going to the Orientals.

"There's nothing left, what's the point of living like this?"

He sat on the second floor of the mansion, knocked on his pipe, sighed blankly, and suddenly looked a bit old: "Yu Jingzhi is nothing, little wolf cub, I can't beat him after all these years. But Gao Lan, why are you here to join in the fun? Doing dog things for the English people, you will come and rob me, do you really think I am old?"

"If you don't give me a way out, I can't make you feel comfortable..."

……

The end of the new year is approaching, the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Haicheng, which is usually hard to see snow on this day, unexpectedly fell the first winter snow.

It is incomparable to the goose feather heavy snow in the north, and the snow in Haicheng is extremely fine and light.

They fall mistyly, like sand, like powder, and turn into water droplets before touching the ground, leaving only thin wet marks, which cannot gather into a snowy surface.

In the early morning, the last siren finally stopped.

Chu Yunsheng and Yu Jingzhi went out, rode horses on the snow, and walked through the long streets of Haicheng.

Passing by the Suzhou River, the forests and stone bridges on the river were already wet, and the concession opposite was sunk in boundless darkness, with only some dim street lamps on.A quarantine zone was drawn up on the bridge, and the passing roads were blocked by fences and iron nets, guarded by yawning and sleepy soldiers.

A large number of people from Haicheng County poured into the concession, which caused great trouble to the public security. Even though Yu Jingzhi left a lot of manpower, and Jiuliuhui would assist in the management, there was still some chaos there. At least, the time these soldiers patrolled It has increased a lot.

Another indistinct roar came from the sky, it was Dongyang's reconnaissance plane.

The horseshoes rattled, gradually suppressing the roar.

One street was emptier than the other, and the doors and windows of some shops or houses were blown open by the cold wind and banged.Many street lights are no longer on, and the scattered high and low eaves are dark. Looking at it in such a humid and quiet snow, it is like seeing a desolate and abandoned empty city. The people and prosperity are gone, and only the memories of the old days remain.

Going forward, near the edge of Haicheng, most of the buildings have collapsed, and ruins can be seen everywhere, leaving traces of fresh artillery bombardment.

The horse neighed rhythmically.

Yu Jing reined in his horse, the brim of his hat and cloak were covered with a layer of snow-white fluff, he stretched out his fingers wearing sheepskin gloves to lift up the brim of the hat, and said softly: "To this day, we have known each other for a year. I often think it is a long time , Unexpected, but only one year."

"But it's the same as it has been for a long time."

Chu Yunsheng stopped and looked sideways at him.

Yu Jingzhi looked behind his eyes, exhaled white steam from his mouth and nose: "Do you still remember what Haicheng looked like at this time in previous years?"

"The sound of firecrackers, the lights of thousands of houses. There is a lot of traffic, and there are lights and festoons."

Yu Jingzhi answered this question himself.

Facing the wind, he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he could see the bustling and extraordinary scenes in the past through the hopeless darkness like black clouds overwhelming the city.

A temple fair was set up on which street, firecrackers were set off at the door of which house, and sugar cakes were scattered in which shop.It is a rare day for men, women and children, regardless of their status, to celebrate the old and welcome the new together, and look forward to a better year.

"It's doomed not to happen this year."

Yu Jingzhi smiled.

He withdrew his gaze, flicked his horsewhip, stepped forward, and rushed to Chu Yunsheng's side: "The Eastern Army's patience has reached its limit. Guess, when will they launch the final siege?"

Chu Yunsheng stared ahead, was silent for a moment, and said, "Dawn."

Yu Jingzhi drank loudly and didn't speak again.

The dirt road ahead was extremely muddy, but the two of them shook their whips vigorously and rode their horses forward together.

The cloak fluttered, and mud and snow splashed.

After running for a while, the two slowly slowed down and walked side by side.

Ahead was the battle line for the past few days, Chu Yunsheng watched from a distance, stretched out his horsewhip, and stopped Yu Jingzhi.

He raised the tip of his whip, pointed at the dim sky, and said, "Look there."

"what?"

Yu Jingzhi was startled, took off his military cap, and looked up.

Chu Yunsheng exhaled white steam with a smile, and his voice was clear and firm.

"Morning Star," he said.
