Tengyuan couldn't help but frown even more, but then, his lips curved up---she was indeed the daughter of the Bai family! He knew that apart from Bai Yifeng, no one else would understand the meaning of this song.
Legend has it that the author was a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, known as Taoist Baishi. The Ci tune "Yangzhou Man" created by him was the representative work of his mature period. In the winter of 1176, the third year of Emperor Xiaozong's Chunxi reign, he was 22 years old. He traveled from Hanyang and passed through Yangzhou, which had been ravaged by the Jin Dynasty twice. He saw that the once prosperous commercial capital was now empty and desolate. Qing City was also invaded by the Japanese army for the second time. This time, a large commercial city in the north was completely destroyed by the artillery fire, and the people were in dire straits. This was a metaphor and a mockery. It seemed like he was talking about love, but it contained the sorrow of the people of the country. Of course, Fujiwara Shuichi also knew that other than himself, those martial artists who didn't even know a few words of Chinese wouldn't understand. Even though Kobayashi Shun was half Chinese, he knew very little about Chinese culture.
" Alright!" Fujiwara Shuichi clapped, but he heard hurried footsteps coming from the corridor. The door was suddenly opened in a panic." Major General Fujiwara, someone has broken into the headquarters." Bai Lingyu heard gunshots and was getting closer and closer to the room.
Shen Chongyang sized up the woman in front of him. It was a young woman in her early twenties. Her long black hair was tied up in a bun at the back of her head. She was wearing a man's suit and her red phoenix eyes were raised. No matter how he looked at her, she had an indescribable temperament. It was as if she had deliberately hidden something important from him and no one else.
The white tiger moved closer to Shen Chongyang's ear." This is the special agent of the Blue Shirt Society of the 'Wind Title'." Shen Chongyang cupped his hands at the woman." Seven Stars Hall of Green City..." Before he could finish, the woman had already stretched out a white and thin hand." I've heard about Head Shen of Seven Stars Hall for a long time."”
" You know my name, but I don't know how to address you-" Shen Chongyang also extended his thick and thick hand to hold the woman's hand. He unconsciously tightened his grip and his brows furrowed slightly.
"My name is Lan Mei. They call me Ah Mei.”The woman smiled," Head Chief Shen, you came at the right time. We still need your help for the mission of the Wind Titled Enterprise.”
"Oh?" Shen Chongyang looked around and saw seven or eight strong men who seemed to have trained before surrounding Lan Mei. "I heard that you've built a relationship with Qing Ning Hall, which is equivalent to building up half of Qing City's territory. Do you still need my help?”Hearing Shen Chongyang's words, White Tiger also felt that something was amiss. Seven Stars Hall and Qing Ning Hall had always minded their own business. Moreover, Shen Chongyang was a person who liked to help others. Moreover, Green City was now occupied and ravaged by the Japanese. What the " Wind " had done was to destroy the Japanese's prestige and shock the people.
Lan Mei could not make heads or tails of Shen Chongyang's reaction." Hehe, it's said that half of the sky in Qingcheng belongs to Qingning Hall, but the other half belongs to you, Boss Shen of the Seven Stars Hall!”
"I'm ashamed! " My Seven Stars Hall prides itself on being well-informed. Now, seven to eight of you, or even more, have sneaked into Qingcheng without anyone knowing. Your skills are already above my Seven Stars Hall." Shen Chongyang cupped his fists and looked at the white tiger." Do you still want to follow them?"”
"Boss, do you know what they are going to do?”White Tiger begged," Even if the devils don't touch the Seven Stars Hall now, it doesn't mean that they won't do anything. Didn't Qilin die at the hands of the Japanese?”Upon hearing the name "Qilin", Shen Chongyang felt a faint pain in his heart. I wonder how Bai Jinsu and Pixiu are doing? Were they safe in the Seven Stars Hall now?
" It seems that Boss Shen is not interested in our Wind name." Lan Mei looked at Shen Chongyang with a charming and provocative gaze. She knew that once White Tiger mentioned the name Qilin, Shen Chongyang would submit.
" Back then, it was the people from the Wind Titled Group and our brothers who fought for the Earth Qilin's corpse." The white tiger's voice was very soft, but it was enough for Shen Chongyang to hear it," Why didn't you say so earlier?”Suddenly, Shen Chongyang's expression changed drastically, and his voice could not help but raise.
" At that time, you didn't ask about it at that time. Everyone only saw that you were very sad--" They didn't feel that something was wrong, but they noticed that Shen Chongyang's hand on his waist was slowly moving away.
"If Miss Amei needs my help, she should be going to ask for some information, right?”Shen Chongyang deliberately probed. Who didn't know that the name " Seven Stars Hall " came from all kinds of informants in Jianghu? Lan Mei shook her head mysteriously." Ah Mei knows that the Seven Stars Hall under Boss Shen's leadership is called the Jianghu Civil Intelligence Bureau, but my request is not to ask for information.”
"Oh?" Shen Chongyang frowned," Since it's not to gather intelligence, then I really don't have anything to help with. The Seven Stars Hall is made up of people who run errands and do odd jobs. Their abilities are really limited.”Shen Chongyang curled his lips and used his eyes to tell the white tiger," It's not that I don't want to help. It's just that I don't know how to help."
White Tiger was also puzzled, not understanding the meaning behind Lan Mei's words. Lan Mei smiled. "Chief Shen, you might not know this, but the main mission of the Wind Corporation is to steal a document from the Special Higher Police's Northern Region Agent Office. There is a very important list of Japanese agents lurking within our military!”
Seeing that Shen Chongyang was silent, Lan Mei continued," We need to borrow someone from your Seven Stars Hall-"
"This isn't the entire 'Wind Title', right?”Shen Chongyang had already taken out a small seven-star knife from his bosom and was playing with it in his hand," If it was just some document, the Southern operator would not easily persuade White Tiger to join you; White Tiger, the Wind name you know is a different version, right?”When he saw White Tiger's incredulous expression, Shen Chongyang had already guessed that the " Wind " version was different from what Lan Mei had said.
" Brother White Tiger was brought here by Mr. Mo. Of course, he was the one who found us such a place to stay. Mr. Mo and I are indeed in charge of the two missions of the Wind Corporation." This time, Lan Mei seemed to be very honest and did not hide anything." I'm in charge of stealing important documents, and Mr. Mo is in charge of assassinations!”
"Assassinate who?" Although Shen Chongyang had some guesses, he was not sure. It was not until that person's name came out of Lan Mei's mouth word by word," Fujiwara Shuichi.”
"Then I'll go collect his corpse." Shen Chongyang muttered to himself," That Fujiwara guy is not some oil lamp saver…" Of course, White Tiger also knew that. He had already brought people to follow Fujiwara Shuyi for more than a month, but he did not grasp this person's fixed living habits.
After thinking for a while, Shen Chongyang suddenly looked at Lan Mei," Didn't you borrow someone from me? Tell me." Lan Mei saw that Shen Chongyang seemed to have the intention to cooperate with her and could not help but feel happy. She immediately suppressed this little bit of excitement and said two words," Vermillion Bird."”
Bai Jinsu did not go to the Seven Stars Hall. Instead, she went to Guanglu Theater from the Seven Stars Hall's territory.
In the chaos of war, there were no famous actors in the theater. However, a month ago, a troupe that had been evacuated from Huabei to Qingcheng, known as the "Four Happiness Troupe", had entered Guanglu Theater. This troupe wasn't big and didn't have any famous actors. However, they had a complete set of actors and actresses. They could perform both civil and martial arts, which made the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Qingcheng Theater exclaim.
The class leader was a strong man in his fifties with a square face. He was bald and good at singing. When Bai Jinsu entered a private room reserved by Guanglu Theater, the theater had not opened yet. The men and women in the troupe were currently practicing singing, reciting, acting, and beating on the stage. The gongs and drums were tinkling, and it sounded like Bai Jinsu's own heartbeat. After a while, the class master walked into the private room.
"I heard about what happened just now. You, why don't you go to the Seven Stars Hall to hide?”The class master asked with concern. After all, the Seven Stars Hall was considered a rather powerful organization in Qingcheng. The Japanese wanted the city to operate normally and could not be easily touched. The Japanese could not be touched, which was one of the few safe places.
"I was in the territory of the Seven Stars Hall just now.”Bai Jinsu's expression was serious."…I heard from White Tiger's men that they're going to assassinate Fujiwara Shuichi.”Looking at the puzzled expression of the class leader, Bai Jinsu asked anxiously," Didn't you say that the Blue Clothes Society sent a group of people with the code name 'Wind' to assassinate Fujiwara Shuichi and get an important document from the Japanese army?”Bai Jinsu continued to analyze the situation when she saw the class leader nod." According to our previous investigation, Old Mo from the Wind Corporation is the Seven Stars Hall's Nan Suanzi. And the White Tiger he contacted…They said that they will go to the Japanese government headquarters to assassinate Tengyuan tonight!”
"Assassination?" The class leader's expression changed slightly."…Qingcheng is now blocked off everywhere. More and more Japanese soldiers are coming ashore from the sea. Even if the assassination succeeds, they have no way out!”
"Qing Ning Hall." Bai Jinsu said firmly," This is the only way for them to go all out.”
"Qing Ning Hall's Shui Pingfei is not a man of his word!”The class leader frowned." He's famous for being capricious. When the Japanese wanted to seal his dock, he pointed his gun at them. Now that the Japanese have lifted the ban on his dock, I think he's quite willing to sit down and drink with those devils…"
"I also think that this is the problem…flying on water is unreliable.”Bai Jinsu shook her head." But Old Mo seems to have put all his eggs in one basket. Perhaps he gave Shui Zhongfei some benefits."”
" I'm just afraid that the Japanese will give me the same benefits, or even greater benefits--" Just as the class leader was speaking, a flustered little waiter barged in from outside the door." Class leader, there are some people coming down. They say that they are people who fly on the water. Flying is clamoring to listen to the play!"”
"You still have the mood to come and listen to the opera?" The class master looked at Bai Jinsu. Bai Jinsu quietly called the shop assistant over." Do they have any tips?"”The waiter rolled his eyes." They gave me this-" As he spoke, the waiter took out a copper coin from his pocket.
"What is this?" The class master looked at the copper coin in the waiter's hand and was even more puzzled." There's no such coin in Qingcheng-"
"This is Japanese yen." Bai Jinsu slowly said," Didn't the Japanese command temporarily forbid the use of the national government's currency? Now that there was gold in the market, it was either Japanese coins or bartering.”
"You mean, the Japanese were thrown into the water?”The class leader was skeptical.
" Old Mo's operation tonight is going to fail." Bai Jinsu sighed." Tonight, we'll wait and see. If possible, we'll help them break out of the encirclement."”
Although the class leader was unwilling, he still nodded silently. Below, Shui Zhongfei and his subordinates were shouting even louder. "Master, what kind of show is going on here tonight?”He asked casually, but the class head already understood." Originally, we were going to sing 'Great Ascension to the Hall', an old drama. Now that the ancestors of Qingning Hall are here, isn't it time to sing?”
"Class Master, what do you think of me?" Bai Jinsu smiled." How about we change it to 'Dreams in the Garden' tonight?”The class master looked at Bai Jinsu. Bai Jinsu had already left the private room and walked backstage on her own. Her singing voice floated in the air." Dawn comes and looks at the broken plum pass. My makeup is ruined." You lean on the railing with your Yichun bun on your side. Cut it off, it's messy, it's boring. I've already ordered the flowers and orioles to borrow spring to see…"
No one noticed that Bai Yifeng was standing beside Bai Lingyu. Just like how they had forgotten that Bai Yifeng existed, Bai Lingyu had almost forgotten that Bai Yifeng was here as well.
" Let's go, I'll bring you out." As he spoke, Bai Yifeng forcefully pulled Bai Lingyu's hand. " Let go of me!" Bai Lingyu struggled with all her might. However, Bai Yifeng was very strong, and it was as if he had used all his strength to restrain her hand. In her panic, Bai Lingyu waved her hand and gave Bai Yifeng a tight slap." Do you think that you can wash away the crime of being a traitor just because you saved me?”She thought of her brother who was still lying in the underground passage at home. She could not help but burst into tears. Bai Yifeng was also the person she had always treated as her brother! They, they had all fought a bloody battle to defend Nanjing…
"Yes, I'm a traitor!" Bai Yifeng's eyes were bloodshot." Haha, I'm that damned traitor! However, if my identity as a traitor can allow you to leave this place safely, what's wrong with that?”
"If I leave safely, aren't you afraid that I'll come back and kill you one day?”Bai Lingyu's eyes suddenly turned sharp like a blade as she looked at Bai Yifeng. The tears that she shed were like the blood in her heart.
" Let's get out of here first." Bai Yifeng didn't want to waste time with her. Every minute she stayed here was a minute of danger. " If I'm afraid, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to see you again…" This was Bai Yifeng's sincere words." Actually, the Bai Yifeng you see now is already a walking corpse. His soul is left outside Nanjing City. At that time, Bai Yifeng was already dead!”
Hearing Bai Yifeng's words, Bai Lingyu was taken aback." They say that one's life is worth it. Why can't you?”When he heard the words " sacrifice myself for a good cause ", Bai Yifeng seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. He shook his head and said," It's not that I can't, but I'm not worthy…" He knew that Bai Lingyu would not understand, and he did not want her to understand. That was the most hidden humiliation in his heart, a scar that could never be healed.
In the courtyard of the Japanese command, Old Mo and a few White Tiger men were exchanging fire with the devil. Suddenly, they saw two people trying to avoid the sharpest firepower, as if they were going to take a detour to a hidden side door in the headquarters. From afar, one could tell that the two of them were dressed in a Japanese military uniform. The woman was dressed in a white dress.
" Uncle Nan, that woman seems to be Tengyuan's fiancée. We met her this afternoon," one of White Tiger's men said confidently." There aren't many women in Qingcheng who dress like her!"”
"What should we do?" The class master helped Bai Lingyu up." She's still breathing…" The class master knew that she was the Bai family's second young mistress and also Bai Jinsu, the biological sister of his underground traffic station chief. "Class Master, can you let my sister go to your place temporarily?”Bai Jinsu didn't understand the situation for a moment, but she knew that even if she didn't die, she couldn't send her sister home.
The class leader nodded vigorously and tore off her clothes to stop Bai Lingyu's bleeding."…Fortunately, she's still breathing. Don't worry." "I'll find the best doctor, she'll be fine." As she spoke, the class leader picked up Bai Lingyu and ran as fast as she could to the corner and into the darkness of the alley. Bai Jinsu also followed quietly. When she turned her head, she saw Bai Yifeng, whose eyes were already red from killing…She couldn't bear to look anymore and also disappeared into the darkness.
The moonlight was cold. Bai Yifeng's heart had frozen the moment Bai Lingyu was shot. Perhaps, he no longer had a heart. Old Mo's leg had been shot. Bai Yifeng raised his gun, but Fujiwara Shuichi walked to his side and patted him on the shoulder." Bai Yifeng, you did a good job. I want this person alive!"”Bai Yifeng glanced at Tengyuan, then shifted his gaze back to his target. From Tengyuan's head, the muzzle of the gun moved to Old Mo's other uninjured leg." Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and Old Mo fell to the ground, crawling like a turtle.
Fujiwara Shuichi looked at Bai Yifeng with approval. At this moment, a large group of Japanese soldiers had already charged forward.
