"I'm sorry, I didn't have a choice." Ming Shuisleeve slashed, floated and retreated, shrank into the corner, and bowed silently.

"Yes, people who come to Dunhuang have no choice." I sighed.

"If my mission fails, if I can't make new contributions and redeem my merits, then even if I flee to the ends of the earth, I will eventually be arrested and killed. At the very least, now that I have captured you alive, it can be regarded as a small achievement. Ming Shuisleeve said.

I ignored the topic and asked another important question: "You say that you are the princess of the dead Ming, where is the root of this idea?" You're not the princess of the dead Ming, who are? ”

Nothing will come out of nowhere, since the Northern Emperor used the "Dead Ming Princess" to invade Dunhuang from the beginning, there is naturally a source. There are no less than 3,000 members of the think tank under his command, and it must have been a master who has a deep understanding of the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties to plan this idea.

"No, I don't know." Ming Shuisleeve shook his head.

"There must be, but you don't know." I was a little disappointed.

As a spy, Ming Shuisleeve didn't do a good enough job. At the very least, she took on the task of infiltrating, and she had to know this history by heart. No matter what others talk about, as long as it is related to "Dead Ming", she has to know everything and know everything, so that she can fit her identity as "Princess of Dead Ming".

"Ah, yes, yes, there must be someone who knows-"

Ming Shuisleeve's words were only halfway through when his mouth was covered.

"I'm here, are you alright?" It was the voice of the Great General.

In the past, we acted separately so that one side could respond in time when one side was in trouble.

"I'm fine." I let go of my left arm, and the knife fell to the ground with a thud.

I've always been wary of Ming Shuisleeve, so I won't be fooled any time she attacks. The knife only stabbed me in the armpit, but it didn't hurt me in the slightest.

"It's complicated outside, come with me." The general said.

She dodged out from behind Mingshui's sleeve, the spear in her right hand against the side of the latter's neck.

"Let her go, kill her or not, there's no point." I say.

"It's a curse to keep it." The general said.

Of course, I know that not killing Ming Shuisleeve will not be good for our escape. However, she has at least some secrets in her heart that I want to know, and keeping her life is equivalent to keeping the secret, and there will be tricks to use in the future.

"Alright, let's go." I waved.

The general no longer insisted, and led the way and left the courtyard.

We kept going northeast, and after walking out of the residential area, we slid down two river cliffs in succession, sticking to the bottom of the river to the east, and getting farther and farther away from the anti-thief pit.

"The Great Emperor of the North used a very strong force, and there was no time to resist. This should be a premeditated and internal action, and before the night, all the goals will be achieved, and then the troops will be withdrawn. The general said.

I nodded, "Yes, your judgment is in line with what I received." ”

The general sighed: "It's a pity that we didn't get anything, and we ran away empty." In today's rivers and lakes, the situation of the Northern Emperor's dominance has been formed, and it is difficult to shake it. ”

She represents the interests of the Yellow Flower Society, so it is understandable that she is very sensitive to this. As for the ordinary people, they have no feeling about it, and the things in the rivers and lakes are too far away from them.

After walking for a while, we turned onto the dirt road in the countryside.

Ahead, a double-row farm vehicle is parked outside the wall of a rural factory.

"With it, we can save some effort." The general said happily.

At the moment, not to mention agricultural vehicles, even a tractor can help us save leg effort and time.

The general walked a few steps, walked to the door, raised his hand, and the door opened.

"This broken car saves even the time to unlock it." The general laughed and immediately flew into the car.

Dunhuang is a place of simple folk customs, although it does not reach the point of not closing the door at night and not leaving the road behind, but this dilapidated agricultural vehicle generally does not lock the door at night, because there is really no need to steal it.

I got into the car from the other side, and before I could open the door, I suddenly smelled a foreign perfume.

Hong Kong Island is known as the "Pearl of the Orient", where all the world's top luxury goods have their flagship stores. What I smelled was a top men's perfume from Eastern Europe, and the name was supposed to be "Caucasian Springs".

Naturally, people who drive agricultural vehicles do not use perfumes, and they are Eastern European perfumes. At this moment, the biggest possibility is-

As soon as my mind turned, the sound of * shooting rang out in the car.

Two gunshots were fired and the front windshield of the farm vehicle shattered.

I pulled the door with each hand, opened it at the same time, and slammed it back.

Looking through the window of the car, the gunman inside had just raised his gun outward, and was hit by the car door, and the short gun immediately hit the ground.

There were two gunmen in the car, one of whom shot the general, and then was choked by the general's backhand, struggling desperately and unable to extricate himself. The other was just about to shoot at me, but the short gun was knocked off.

I pulled open the rear door and slapped the gunman on the Adam's apple, and he passed out.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

The general let go of the enemy, who was already out of breath, took a deep breath, and slowly replied, "I'm going to die." ”

My heart sank and I immediately circled to the other side of the car.

The general was shot twice, all through wounds, one under the neck and one in the chest.

She was right, without body armor, these two parts were shot, and the gods could not save them.

I picked her up and laid her flat on the ground.

"I'm going to die...... In fact, I had a premonition that it would be impossible to cross the sea, so I delayed again and again in an attempt to escape the doom. I didn't expect to die in ...... Here, the only one who is lucky, I can die in front of your eyes, and not in obscurity...... Die on the other side of the sea. Remember, I died to save you, so that at least after I die, I will still feel ...... It's worth dying...... Die well deserved...... Don't say anything, what you like is Miss Gu Tingcheng, that's a fact. I will use my death to engrave my name in your heart forever......" The general's life passed too quickly, and after saying these words, blood was already flowing all over the ground, and her voice was getting weaker and weaker.

I couldn't say anything and didn't have time to take her to the hospital.

"Hold me and send me away." She said.

I got down on one knee and held her in my arms. In less than half a minute, she was asleep forever in my arms.

In the stone tower of Luopan Village, the flag was folded in a strong wind, which was a bad omen for the Chinese army to fold the general. Now, this ominous omen has finally been fulfilled.

All I can say is that this is the fate of the great general.

When the banner broke, it was already doomed to her death.

I woke up from my stupor when I heard footsteps behind me.

"Don't panic, it's me." It was the voice of Ming Suisleeve.

I didn't move, nor did I touch the short gun left by the general.

"She's dead, put her down." Ming Shuisleeve walked around me, stretched out his hands, and carried the general's body over.

I shook my head and smiled bitterly silently, thinking of two old Chinese sayings - "The clay pot is difficult to break from the edge of the well, and the general will inevitably die in battle." ”

The death of the general in the battle should be the only ending of his fate. So many characters in the rivers and lakes died like this in the end, and there is rarely a time when they die.

This is the sorrow of the people of the rivers and lakes, there have been countless battles in their lives, either killing people or being killed, and that's it.

"Let's go, it's not safe here." Ming Shuisleeve said.

I didn't say anything, she dragged me by the hand, pulled me up, and helped me onto the farm cart.

The two of us drove the farm vehicle eastward, bypassing the north side of Dunhuang, stopping near the east gate and entering a quiet residential area.

Ming Suisleeve took out the key and led me into the west house on the first floor of one of the units.

"This is one of my destinations, and I set it up long before I went to Hong Kong Island." She said.

The house is simply renovated, clean and tidy, and there is no floating dust.

My mind was still cloudy, and it wasn't until I took a thorough cold shower in the bathroom that I finally got rid of that low feeling of frustration.

The general is dead and no longer has anything to do with the rivers and lakes, but unlike me, the road ahead must continue, and it is impossible to indulge in grief without scruples.

I walked out of the bathroom, and Ming Shuisleeve was boiling water in the kitchen.

Once upon a time, she had the identity of "Princess of the Dead Ming", and was properly taken care of by Lei Dongtian, Gu Tingguo, Gu Tingcheng and others, and did not eat the fireworks of the world and did not understand modern mundane things. But now, she is a 100% modern person who knows how to boil water and make tea, and she will no longer pretend to be the princess of the dead Ming.

"How about drinking black tea?" She asked.

I nodded and sat down on the couch.

Mingshui sleeve tea, black tea with ginger, wolfberry, jujube, astragalus, tea and medicinal fragrance mixed together, but also very matched.

"Drink tea first, and then I'll tell you everything I know." She said.

I left her alive, and this is the fruit of good deeds. It's a pity that the general can't see all this anymore.

"The first time I saw Lui Toe Tin was at the Tseung Kwan O Cemetery. For spies, any chance encounter, adventure is artificially arranged. So that time, I also followed a pre-drawn script and stood in front of a tombstone in Tseung Kwan O Cemetery. He was going to go to the grave of his deceased girlfriend, and that was the way to go. Ming Shuisleeve said.

I am familiar with that cemetery, and I also know that Lei Dongtian's favorite name is "Bao Fox", a behind-the-scenes singer in a small theater, with Barbie-like delicate facial features, and a good voice that seduces the soul.

With a thin face, Baohu died in an accidental car accident. It was later found out that the car accident was not an accident, but man-made. The characters in the rivers and lakes wanted to assassinate Lei Dongtian, but that day he was sitting in a treasure fox in his special car.

As a result, Lei Dongtian killed all the enemies, but he couldn't save Baohu's life.

"Mr. Long is going to sweep the tomb of Baohu." I say.

When I answered like this, I didn't need a lot of explanations from Ming Shuisleeve.

"Yes, yes." Ming Shuisleeve nodded, "The tombstone I am guarding is deliberately designed, and the name of the deceased on it is also surnamed Zhu." When the thunderbolt passed, I pretended to pass out and got his attention. ”

This is a very old-fashioned way to meet, but Ming Shuisleeve chose a time when Lei Dongtian was in a low mood and successfully opened the other party's heart. Most importantly, since its establishment, the Tseung Kwan O Cemetery has been full of folk legends about the encounter between yin and yang, and the indistinguishability between humans and ghosts. Therefore, when Ming Shuisleeve said that he was the "Princess of the Dead Ming", Lei Dongtian was not surprised at all.
