When I discussed it with Mr. Liang and others, the ambitions of the Japanese became clear. Prior to this, Mr. Sun had signed the "Sino-Japanese Joint Han Yeping Loan Case" in order to raise government funds. In the aftermath of the war, the country is in ruins.

The Japanese found Yuan Shikai and forced him to sign the "Twenty-One Articles", which claimed to be also a loan regulation, but in fact it was humiliating to the country. China is too weak to fight for the dignity of 40,000,000 people.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and I used to think that Yuan Shikai was a person who was "expected by everyone", but later I became more and more sure of his ambitions.

After the signing of the treaty with Japan, rumors rose in the streets. There are many "federations", "petition groups" and so on around us, demanding the restoration of the monarchy.

Wei Yan looked at me every day and frowned, but it didn't help. Yuan held great power, and he also kept an eye on me more and more. She often called a few sisters and laughed in the living room, with a cheerful voice. And I, closing the door, discussed the Yuan uprising with my friends in the house.

Under the singing and dancing, in this way, it seems to outsiders that I am less and less concerned about national affairs.

Last year, the Japanese occupied Jinan, seized the right to operate the Jiaoji Railway, captured Jiaozhou Bay, and finally captured the naval base of Qingdao. And now, after the signing of the treaty, the Japanese also occupy Manchuria in a grand manner, replacing all the interests of Germany.

My father's frequent letters informed the Japanese of the surveillance of the general's palace and the assassination of people with lofty ideals, and constantly provoked riots. Build roads, open mines, set up factories, and lease land in the Northeast. I felt the urgency of time. I had to leave Peking as soon as possible and return to the Northeast.

Before the signing of the "21st Article", I could not help but denounce the Japanese and help lead the petition in Beiping. Although he studied in Japan, he was indignant at the treaty that humiliated the country and interfered in internal affairs. From then on, he began to fight the Japanese.

And my father, because he has been circling between Russia and Japan, has changed from being co-opted to being blacklisted, and he is restricted everywhere, but fortunately, he has military power.

Wei Yan knew I wanted to leave, and she hesitated, wanting to talk to me every night, but she didn't know how to say it. Finally, I secretly set a date for my return, and I found a similar figure to pretend to be me, and wanted him to travel with Wei Yan, so that I could buy time to leave this place without being noticed.

I told Wei Yan what I thought. But she cried, and stood far away in the dim light and asked me: "Come and go." Are you going to throw it away when you're done using it?"

I told her that I didn't want to abandon her. But the Northeast is too dangerous, and when the situation is stable, I will take her over.

She didn't speak, she stood there silently. I suddenly wanted to take her with me, but in fact, the journey to the Northeast was difficult, the Japanese were watching, the Beiyang government was also watching, the old ministers of the Qing Dynasty were watching, and there were also warlords.

My cousin, who committed suicide by poisoning himself in his apartment some time ago, was the leader of an anti-Russian and anti-Japanese student organization who demonstrated in front of the Japanese, but was eventually created to commit suicide. I don't want Weiyan to take such a risk.

After going back, the military power in his hands will be more cautious.

Wei Yan turned off the lights, her cold hands around my shoulders. She didn't say anything, just asked: "You said that you like people who sing well, but I can't sing well?"

The joke at the birthday party back then was taken seriously by her. I told her, "Aren't you the only woman by my side for such a long time?"

"Isn't it in the Northeast?"

"Nope. ”

The next morning, she was gone. I thought she was angry, but I saw her hugging my stand-in, kissing me intimately. I froze for a moment and walked over to separate them. Her eyes were red and she said, don't delay the time.

I left her my favorite revolver, so that she could learn to protect herself. She pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's okay, didn't you survive so many things?"

According to the plan, the two of them went out in the car to play, and the person who watched them naturally followed closely. I changed into civilian clothes, went to Tianjin, and returned to the Northeast by water.

From the day we separated, Xiaoyan'er and I began to exchange letters. Two or three times a month, talking about recent events. She didn't ask me when I would be able to go to Tohoku, and I knew she was afraid of me. My father did not agree with the matter of the two people, and the situation in the Northeast was critical.

When I was dealing with the Japanese, my father introduced me to a Gege who wanted to be a young lady in the General's Mansion. I rejected him verbally, saying that I would not be close to any other woman except Wei Yan. My father was displeased, so he brought many cursed words to Beiping.

Compared with the days of Beiping, the Northeast is a threat from all sides. I once wanted to take a concubine, but some people who had conflicts with me set their sights on Xiao Yan'er again. She can't go back to the courtyard and she can't go to my mansion. A person ran to Tianjin, and he was overwhelmed by the unfamiliar place.

At that time, I was dealing with the railway, fighting with the Japanese, and even the guards around me were poisoned by puffer fish. But she was far away, and I stayed awake day and night, determined to bring Weiyan back.

She took the train by water. I personally went to the platform to pick her up. She wore a cheongsam, and the jade earrings I personally found for her. It was a tiny part of Cixi's jadeite.

I haven't seen you for months, and I miss it very much.

She ran to me, hugging me tightly. I noticed a change in her eyes and a furrow on her face. She didn't have the shyness she used to have, but suddenly said in a quickened tone: "Someone is following you!"

"Go from that side. "I dragged her to a corner and hid away from the Japanese who were following her, only to find that it was surrounded by a crowd. Suddenly a gunshot rang out, and my guard fell in a pool of blood, and everyone scattered in all directions amid screams.

She looked at me with a determined look in her eyes like a front-line soldier. Xiao Yan'er neatly took off my trench coat and picked up my leather bag. The sun shone through the blinds, shining on her one by one.

"I'll help you get them away, and you go back quickly. "She commanded in a tone, like me.

I instantly realized what she was going to do, but she ran out without looking back. Japanese spies in civilian clothes followed. I saw that her back in the distance was very similar to mine, and I wondered how she could hold up a huge tweed trench coat in her petite state.

But I didn't think much of it.

At the train station, everyone chased after this figure. The shots rang out, and I could see the bullets spinning and hitting the pillar beside her. Several people raised their guns and aimed them at her back, and I shouted for the guards to pounce, and she looked back at me in horror.

When the Japanese spies heard this, Wei Yan took out the revolver and fired back. I don't know why, even though I've appeared, the Japanese haven't seen a crowd surrounding her. Xiao Yan'er was forced to retreat under a low wall.

"Ahh

I heard her scream and get shot.
