"How is Mr. Xu now?" Even if he saw Ji Ye's expression without grief and indignation, Fan Ainong was not sure whether Xu Xilin's life was in danger, Xu Xilin's personality was too strong, and it was impossible to stay out of the matter and hide in a safe place at such a critical moment.

"Mr. Xu? Think about yourself first! Ji Ye sneered.

Fan Ainong didn't expect Ji Ye to suddenly reveal his fierce appearance, but after seeing the killing along the way, he was not afraid of death, but felt a kind of confusion. It's so easy to kill someone, to cut off hundreds of heads, to pile up hundreds of corpses, and to die after seeing these scenes that would have been unimaginable. Fan Ainong was never afraid of imaginable things, he asked calmly: "It's not a big deal to kill me, can you tell me a reason, so that I can die and understand." ”

Such a question is beyond Ji Ye's imagination, if Fan Ainong quibbles for himself, or proves that he is a "good person" and a "person who sympathizes with the revolution", Ji Ye will unceremoniously execute Fan Ainong, but Fan Ainong This kind of question makes Ji Ye unable to answer. After glaring at Fan Ainong for a few moments, Ji Ye knew that she didn't have time to entangle, and she asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I'm here to deliver the letter, and I'm also here to see how the West Zhejiang branch is doing." Fan Ainong replied calmly.

"The letter has been delivered, you have also seen what the West Zhejiang Branch is like, what are you going to do next?"

"I'm going to meet Mr. Xu, no matter what happens in the future, I'm going to face this matter with Mr. Xu. Along the way, I saw that the Beiyang Army had killed so many people, no matter what everyone thought about it, I had to follow Mr. Xu. Fan Ainong was extremely resolute.

No matter what he wanted in his heart to immediately shoot Fan Ainong and the others on the spot, Ji Ye still couldn't make such a decision. For her, the enemy is not Fan Ainong and these people, but the Beiyang Army in the distance, Ji Ye ordered: "Very good, tie up Fan Ainong and send them to Mr. Xu, whether they live or die is decided by Mr. Xu." ”

Fan Ainong did not resist, and let people tie him up and escort him in the direction of Changxing County, he turned his head to look at the team led by Ji Ye, and saw that they went down the mountain along the path without stopping. I think it's to copy the back road of the Beiyang Army.

Despite being tied up firmly, Fan Ainong did not pause at all, and he almost stumbled towards Changxing County as fast as he could. As long as you see Xu Xilin, you can solve the confusion in your heart, why so many people died in this terrible massacre, and what kind of deep hatred and hatred there is between the Guangfu Society and the West Zhejiang Branch. The escorted soldiers saw that Xu Xilin was so serious, but they didn't embarrass him, first tied Fan Ainong's hands behind his back to the front, and after seeing Fan Ainong fall a few times, they simply tied the rope around the waist of Fan Ainong and others, although it also had the meaning of surveillance, but it was already dark at this time, so it was not easy to fall behind.

I don't know how many falls in the dark night, Fan Ainong and the others finally approached Changxing County, the night sky was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, but this smell was completely different from the smell brought by the slaughter, the feeling of slaughter was cold and heavy, and the smell here brought people a strong feeling like boiling.

The county seat of Changxing did not fall into darkness, the electric lights raised high in the city illuminated the streets, and there were many ruins in the county town that had been destroyed by artillery fire, but people did not hide in their homes. A group of people were placed in an orderly manner in the county under the leadership of soldiers and people wearing short clothes and wearing white towels on their left arms.

The three of them were brought into the command headquarters, Xu Xilin didn't expect Fan Ainong to be brought, and he looked at it in surprise for a while before he was really sure that it was his disciple in front of him. "Ainnon, why did you come here?"

Fan Ainong briefly described his purpose, and then said what he saw when he came, and he asked loudly, "Mr. Xu, what is going on?" How could it be killed to such an extent? Even if everyone is not in agreement, it is a big deal to break up. ”

Xu Xilin smiled bitterly: "Ainong, why did you kill like this, didn't the Beiyang Army you met on the road already make it clear?" Follow the killing of the distribution of western Zhejiang, the killing of those who joined the peasant association, and the killing of the gentry and landlords who offended. Resist the gentry to support the general association and support Beiyang. Although our West Zhejiang Branch did not want to participate in the war at all, since we supported the people and those who lived by their own labor, in the eyes of the General Association and Beiyang, we were the enemy, the people of the People's Party. ”

"Is that all there is?" Fan Ainong understood what Xu Xilin said, but he still couldn't understand the truth, "Even if the People's Party takes over the world, these gentry will not be unable to live." As far as I know, many people under the rule of the People's Party have not had a bad life, even after the land reform. ”

Xu Xilin was really speechless for his stupid apprentice, in fact, before the outbreak of the war, Xu Xilin also thought so, even if the war failed, the People's Party was just killing the enemy, which is why Xu Xilin was reluctant to participate in the war, as long as he did not participate in the war and did not create a blood debt, Xu Xilin thought that it was possible to negotiate with Chen Ke, and the land reform could be more gentle, and he could do his best to compensate the gentry and landlords. But these are no longer possible, Mo said that the People's Party is only afraid that it will not spare this group of Beiyang Army who started to kill in the future, even if the People's Party can let go of these people, Xu Xilin will definitely not let go of these people.

"Ainon, you've seen this, but what are you going to do?" Xu Xilin replied.

"I'll follow sir." Fan Ainong replied immediately.

"Do you dare to fight? Do you dare to die? Xu Xilin asked.

"Why don't you dare? Willing to pot. Van Ainong didn't hesitate.

"Okay, you'll follow me into battle tomorrow morning, now go and rest first." Xu Xilin didn't have that much time to teach his disciples. He was straightforward.

Fan Ainong didn't have any other thoughts at all, Xu Xilin asked him to sleep, he also felt extremely tired, and followed the person to the room next to the headquarters, he didn't even have the strength to think about his thoughts after lying down, so he fell asleep directly.

Xu Xilin didn't think about Fan Ainong and the others at all, and he continued to deal with the battle in front of him. "Is there a reply from the People's Party?"

"We have already been contacted, but they said that it would take two days to prepare, and they have no plans to attack Zhejiang this time, so it is recommended that we withdraw all the people in the base area to their side." The liaison staff officer replied.

"Why don't you want to enter Zhejiang? Do they have an explanation? Xu Xilin felt inexplicably puzzled.

"They just said that there was a strategic arrangement, and now they can't pull out troops. Our comrades in Jiangsu also said that the fleet of the British had always threatened Wuhu of the People's Party. Thinking about it, their pressure is not ordinarily great. The staff officer explained resentfully, "This time, the general manager has decided to attack us a long time ago, and this time Mr. Tao's thing must have been done by them." And then use this to deal with us. ”

"But isn't the BJP prepared?" Another staff officer asked, "Chairman Chen Ke has always acted very cautiously, how could he not have expected this?" ”

"It doesn't matter anymore, Chen Ke asked Lu Huitian to write to me a few months ago, asking me to pay attention to the fact that he will always attack us, but unfortunately I didn't understand it. Since they told us to withdraw the people to them, let us withdraw. Xu Xilin didn't want to be entangled anymore, he said loudly: "I have made up my mind, everyone quickly began to prepare for this matter, and discharged troops to ensure the back road." ”

"Mr. Xu, don't worry. I'm afraid that I'll have to ask the BJP for help this time. It's not that we want to make things difficult for them, the people we sent a few days ago have already reported back, and the gentry everywhere are like crazy, as long as it is our people, as long as it is the people of the peasant association, they will kill them cleanly, regardless of men, women, old and children. In addition to Changxing, the other two counties also have Huzhou, as long as the people who have anything to do with us are all killed. Moreover, stockades were built in various places along the way, and as soon as our army approached, they would fight with us while sending people to inform the Beiyang Army. There were few people in our army, and they couldn't beat the stockade. There were many people who went, and the Beiyang Army chased very closely, and even if the comrades broke the stockade, they would be defeated by the Beiyang Army. We can't do anything else now except to be able to keep Changxing. The staff officer said in embarrassment.

"Bosun, don't you still believe Wen Qing?" Qiu Jin's voice came from outside. Xu Xilin was stunned, and the others couldn't help but show a somewhat relieved look.

Qiu Jin was patrolling outside, and she had come back at this time, her head was wrapped in gauze, and her right eye was covered under the gauze, such an injury would have given people a miserable feeling, but Qiu Jin's momentum did not decline in the slightest because of the injury, but it looked more majestic.

"Jianhu, why do you say that?" Xu Xilin asked a little weakly.

Qiu Jin said calmly: "The situation has reached such a point, and there are not many people left even if we want to evacuate." How many troops do we have now? More than 10,000 people have now been killed, and there are less than 4,000 left. Those lost comrades now look more than lucky. With the current strength, we can't withdraw from the encirclement of tens of thousands of people in the Beiyang Army. Wen Qing never talks about anything in his work, and King Yue will claim to be a hundred thousand congregations, and he will not accept Wen Qing. Wen Qing used a little trick, and they still scattered and didn't even have a scum left. I know you don't want to end up like this in the western Zhejiang branch. But if we don't simply join the BJP, there is no other way out. ”

was told what was in his heart, and Xu Xilin no longer concealed it, "Tao Gong has died so unclearly, and our Zhejiang West Branch is only afraid that it will be the last person who can avenge him." I used to have illusions about Cai Gong, but now I don't have the slightest incense in Cai Gong's heart. If we join the People's Party in this way, what will happen to the remaining comrades of the Liberation Society? ”

"How many comrades are there in the Liberation Society? How many comrades and people in western Zhejiang are there who are following us now? Who is lighter and who is heavier? You can't help but be clear. There was no hurry in Qiu Jin's voice, only indescribable heaviness.
