In this way, they could only go all the way south, intending to pass through Chahar and try to find a way to survive in the territory of Rehe.

These herders are not particularly aware of the current situation, but instinctively want to find a place to live.

After the old man intermittently recounted the whole process, Duan Jinghe had already brought someone to bring the freshly boiled porridge over.

Liu Cheng asked people to serve a bowl to the old man, and quietly called Duan Jinghe aside:

"Send two clever people to the place he said to check it out, be quick!"

Duan Jinghe agreed, turned around and left.

Liu Cheng's gaze swept over the victims who were gobbling up the disaster in turn, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

To receive, or not to receive.

After all, he had just cleaned up the Tanaka Brigade.

Caution is his usual style, but he can't turn them away just because he can't confirm the authenticity for the time being, right?

If it is verified, it will inevitably leave a dead knot in the hearts of these people.

After thinking about it again, Liu Cheng finally decided to let them enter the city first.

After the village chief had eaten, Liu Cheng asked him to assist Tang Zhenhu in registering the victims one by one, they were all together, and they must have known each other before, which can be regarded as an investigation.

Leaving the matter of settling them to Tang Zhenhu, Liu Chengcheng went back to the city first.

Because, he has more important things.

Tian Haoyuan is here, and he has brought so many people, no matter what Tian Haoyuan is, some things still have to be guarded against as much as possible.

In a small building on the southern outskirts of Jinling.

Tian Ruyu crumpled the note in his hand, which was only the size of a finger, and put it in the ashtray and lit it.

"Bang!"

The door was suddenly slammed open, and before Tian Ruyu, who had just smoked a cigarette, could light it, the match fell in the ashtray and went out.

Looking at the dozen or so men dressed in black in front of him, Tian Ruyu seemed to understand something.

She raised her hand and pointed to the man who was taking the lead:

"Come here, light me a cigarette."

The man smiled faintly, took a step forward obediently, leaned over across the table and picked up a match to draw it, and lit the cigarette for Tian Ruyu.

"When I finish smoking this cigarette, it will be regarded as you repaying me for my promotion to you."

The man's face changed slightly, as if he had thought of something, and his expression struggled a little, but finally nodded.

The smoke was filled, blurring the pretty face with a little sadness and nine points of relief.

As the smoke slowly filled, the room gradually filled with a faint fragrance.

Thoughts came flooding back, filled with Tian Ruyu's gradually blurred memories.

A young and resolute face became clearer and clearer in front of her, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't touch the slightest bit of his temperature.

It's been so long......

Originally, I should have died three years ago......

It was you who saved me.

But you've hurt me too.

Why, I still don't hate you?

Even if you haven't seen me in the eye since that night......

But I still want to watch you, watch you live well, watch you make the Japanese hate you but have no choice, watch you make the people of Jinling angry but have nothing to do, watch you defeat your opponents again and again, watch you go higher step by step......

However, I can only look at you like this......

One wrong step, one wrong step......

I've been helping you, from a small person to a powerful person, but you don't know anything......

You always think I'm hurting you, but I really don't, never!

I'm doing everything I can to protect you, even if it's my only physical ......

Hearing your name appear more and more frequently in the mouths of those who are truly in power, I have the illusion of honor......

That's, my man, the man in my heart......

Although, he only had that night that belonged to me, and that was also my man!

My man, standing up to the sky; Wherever you wield a knife, you will be ambushed!

However, I have not been able to hear a word of love from you, and you have never had me in your heart......

In the past three years, I have done a lot of wrong things and killed a lot of innocent people;

I'm sorry for the whole world, but I don't owe you anything!

I tried my best to climb up, just to give you better protection.

Because, there are too many people who want to kill you, even if everything you do is to protect this country and protect the people of this country.

But you have affected their interests, so they want you to die.

How can I allow them to hurt my man? Unless, step on my corpse!

Now, I can't protect you anymore......

In the future, you have to go down on your own.

I know that I have done too many wrong things and will definitely go to hell and suffer all kinds of punishments, but I still have no regrets!

I will always watch you, watch you command your troops, invincible; Watch you in the midst of hosts, and look at the world!

It's just that I don't have a chance to stand by your side and watch you slash and behead the enemy.

No regrets, but regrets.

If there is an afterlife, I must be the woman who can be by your side.

If you are a demon, I will hold the sword for you, laugh and kill ten thousand, and bathe in blood; If you are a Buddha, I will recite sutras for you, be kind to the world, and benefit all sentient beings.

Good and evil are all ruled by you, and I am only your subordinate.

But in this life, I'm going to leave first.

Even though I am unwilling and reluctant in every way, but the matter has come to this point, and I have no power to return to heaven.

……

The smoke burned halfway, and Tian Ruyu's pupils had already begun to spread.

With the last of her strength, she pulled open the drawer, took a box from it, and placed it on the table in front of her.

"Please, send someone to give him my ashes......"

The hands slipped weakly, and a life ended.

The man slowly stepped forward and gently opened the box.

Inside, are Huang Chengcheng's three gold bars, which are all of Tian Ruyu's belongings.

And she just wants to use this money to have people give her ashes to the man she has always wanted to see but can't and dare not see......

That cigarette was prepared by Tian Ruyu for herself early in the morning, and it only took two puffs to kill people.

And she just sucked half of it.

She has no nostalgia for this world, except for that person.

Everything she did was to protect him, and he didn't know it.

"Captain, she'......"

A small, thin, scarred man stepped forward and whispered.

The man who took the lead sighed softly and said in a condensed voice:

"No one is allowed to touch her, you go and report to the director, just say that Tian Ruyu, the deputy director of the Operations Department, committed suicide in fear of crime, and she is already dead!"

The man who had spoken earlier hesitated slightly, but finally did not speak, and turned to leave the room.

Two hours later, a fire lit up in a forest on the western outskirts of Jinling......
