Iwasaki Yujia didn't seem to be willing to leave Lin Yiqing for a moment, she wrapped one arm around his waist, took a silver-shelled lighter with the other, and gently lit the nearby candlestick.

Under the faint candlelight, Iwasaki Yuka was wearing a silk undershirt as thin as a cicada's wings, looking at herself stupidly.

"Am I good-looking? ......," she asked softly.

"You're so beautiful...... Lin Yiqing couldn't help but nodded.

"Then why don't you kiss me? Did I make you feel annoying? Iwasaki asked again.

"You Jia, did something happen again? ......" Hearing her somewhat angry question, Lin Yiqing remembered the last time she "dedicated" herself to herself, suppressed the desire in her heart, and asked again.

"No ......" Iwasaki Yuka shook his head, took Lin Yiqing's hand, and pressed his face to his hand.

"Then why ......" Lin Yiqing looked at the lovely face, and the fire in his heart was gradually ignited.

"There's no why, I just want you to ...... me" Iwasaki Yuka whispered, gently rubbing his palm with her face, at this time, she looked at him with such a cute look.

Lin Yiqing looked at her water-cut eyes, couldn't help but put one hand around her slender waist and kissed her.

Lin Yiqing's lips greedily sucked on Iwasaki's lips. The two kissed passionately for a long time, Iwasaki Youjiaxing's eyes were half-closed, her pretty face was flushed, she was so weak that she fell directly from Lin Yiqing's arms to the ground! And Lin Yiqing, who was wrapped around her neck, also seemed to have been sucked out of all the bones of her body at once, and she also fell down softly with her in her arms, and the two of them immediately rolled together on the ground!

Long. Lin Yiqing and Iwasaki Yujia were lying side by side on the bed (how did they get back to bed from the ground.) Three thousand words are omitted here). Iwasaki Youjia pillowed in the crook of Lin Yiqing's arm, caressed Lin Yiqing's chest, and looked at Lin Yiqing, his eyes were full of love.

"Today...... Why do you ...... Ken likes me anymore? ......" Iwasaki Yuka asked softly, the heat of pleasure in her body had not completely dissipated, making her voice full of tenderness.

"I liked you for a long time." Lin Yiqing gently pressed her hand on the back of her hand, and the fingers of the two were unconsciously entangled and clasped.

"I like you too...... Iwasaki Yuka said softly, and she couldn't help but lean in. Kiss him, "I've been thinking about you these days......"

"Then why did you make me wait until today?" Lin Yiqing asked with a smile.

Yuka Iwasaki didn't answer, but pressed her face to his chest.

"It's because of your father, isn't it?" Lin Yiqing gave the answer softly.

Iwasaki Yujia's body trembled suddenly, she didn't look up, and she didn't speak, but Lin Yiqing knew that her answer was right.

"Does the wound still hurt?" Lin Yiqing caressed her lovingly. His fingers ran across her strong, yet tender lower abdomen, feeling the location of the knife wound. Asked softly.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Iwasaki Yuka's heart was warm, and the voice that answered also had a hint of sweet happiness.

"You know what? Your ...... the day It scared the hell out of me. I was born and died on the battlefield, killing countless enemies, and my subordinates said that there was nothing that could scare me. Until now, there was only one day when you scared the hell out of me. Lin Yiqing sighed, "I'm afraid, you will die in front of me like this, and you will never come back......"

Iwasaki Yujia impulsively held Lin Yiqing's hand, her fingers touched the scars on Lin Yiqing's fingers, and she regretted in her heart, remembering the scene when he struggled to grab the knife to save herself that day, and almost shed tears.

"I'm sorry......," she said in a choked voice.

"Don't say you're sorry, between lovers, don't say that." Lin Yiqing looked at her with a smile and gently held her fingertips, "Fortunately, you're fine, it's all over." ”

"No, it's not over yet." Iwasaki Yuka withdrew his hand, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said.

"No past? Why, it was your father who wrote to you again? Lin Yiqing immediately guessed what was going on, and immediately asked, "What did he say to you again?" ”

"It's better that you don't want to know today." Iwasaki Yuka sighed, "It's so beautiful today, I'm reluctant to destroy it." ”

Although she didn't say the specific content of the letter, when Lin Yiqing heard this, she had already guessed what was going on, and couldn't help but curse "Iwasaki Lao'er" in her heart.

"You are my woman now, and I cannot tolerate others bullying you, even if this person is your father." Lin Yiqing said.

Feeling the killing intent in Lin Yiqing's words, Iwasaki Yujia's body trembled again.

"Of course, what I do to your father is up to you." Lin Yiqing understood what she was worried about, and said, "I listen to you." ”

"I'm going to take back what belongs to me from my father." Iwasaki Yuka was moved, made up his mind in his heart, and said firmly.

Yuka Iwasaki is fed up with the discrimination of her family, and now, the man around her has given her unprecedented confidence, and she wants to get rid of the shadow of the family!

"Okay, I will help you regain what should belong to you, and I, Lin Yiqing, want you to get back everything that should belong to you in a dignified manner." Lin Yiqing kissed her back and said softly and firmly.

Yuka Iwasaki cried, but this time, it was a cry of happiness, and she had never been so happy in her life as she was today.

It was getting late, the rain was still falling heavily, and some of the sleepy Sanae were suddenly awakened by a melodious piano sound and singing.

“…… Watch the meteors gently fall in the night sky,

All loneliness, broken,

The wind whispers to you,

Can you tell me.

Tears gently rolled down my face,

Forgive me for being so cowardly,

I know you just want me to be happy,

Please hug me.

Let me move you, no matter what, I will be together and not leave you,

Forget myself, I give you everything I have,

No more crying, I will always be with you,

Even time is forgotten and never separated;

……

Why can't you stay here,

How can it. Let me forget.

Have this beautiful memory with you.

Always buried in the bottom of your heart.

Even if you leave my world,

I don't cry, reassure you,

If I could meet you again in the next life,

Never give up.

Try to make yourself, a person to face all the memories is not easy,

Take care of yourself, there is no one in my heart who can replace you.

You are the only one, silently bless you,

Looking at your back, it's getting blurred......"

Sanae was completely fascinated by the graceful and beautiful music and singing, and it was not until the end of the song that she came to her senses with the cheerful laughter of Yuka Iwasaki and Hayashi Yat-sei upstairs.

"It's ...... to have the energy to play the piano and sing after doing it for so long" Sanae couldn't help but feel her heart beat as she imagined what Yuka Iwasaki and Lin Yiqing looked like now. Crimson complexion.

Busy ferries ply the north and south shores of the harbour, with fishing boats, cargo ships and steamers passing by. Coupled with the sound of whistles, it weaves a wonderful prosperous scenery on the sea.

At this time, there were many ships moored in front of the dock, most of them were foreign steamers, and among these ships, the figure of five cruisers flying the dragon flag was particularly eye-catching.

These are the five main cruisers of the Fujian Shipbuilding Division of Qianguo, "Kaiji", "Jingqing", "Huantai", "Yuankai" and "Dengyingzhou".

Although it was not the first time that the Qianguo navy had come to Osaka, the arrival of the Qianguo warship this time had attracted a large number of residents to stop and sightsee in the past few days. People have speculated about the purpose of these warships coming to Osaka, and they have used their imagination to make use of their own imagination, and naturally, the most reminiscent of this is the international conference on the Japanese issue that was held some time ago.

The most widely rumored is that these warships came to Osaka to resupply and then carry out international monitoring missions.

After the news came out that Russia had sent "volunteers" to Japan at the invitation of the Japanese Government to assist in counterinsurgency, it aroused widespread concern in various countries in the world, especially Britain, France, Qian, the United States, and Germany, which had commercial interests in Japan, and on the day that the Russian troops arrived in Japan, British Minister to Japan Willis, together with ministers of other countries, sent a written note to the Russian Legation in Japan, demanding that the Russian side explain the current troop dispatch and that Russia submit a detailed plan for the number of troops to be sent." to prevent violations of public international law and endangerment of the interests of States".

In the face of the doubts of various countries, the Russian side quickly gave a reply, and the Russian minister declared: "The purpose of Russia's dispatch of troops this time is to assist Japan in quelling the rebellion at home, preventing the emergence of a humanitarian catastrophe, and endangering the interests of Russia and other countries in Japan." Russia sent troops at the invitation of the Japanese government, and the Japanese government will bear the military needs and expenses of the Russian army, and after quelling the rebellion, the Russian army will soon withdraw to the country and will not leave a single soldier in Japan. ”

Although the Russians answered with a high-sounding sound, the British were not at ease, in the impression of the British, the Russians have never been so selfless, not to mention that Russia is still challenging the British authority in the Crimea this century, wanting to expand southward, occupy the territory of the Ottoman Empire, and open up the Black Sea straits, but fortunately, Britain and France intervened in time to stop the Russians' actions. This time, Russia sent troops to Japan quietly, and the scale was much larger than the Crimean War, which naturally could not but arouse the vigilance of Britain.

He Ruzhang, the envoy of the Qianguo State to Japan, reminded the envoys of various countries that "more than 100,000 Russian troops came to Japan in the north, and the cost was very great, and they said that if Japan was in turmoil and the situation was stable, they would withdraw immediately, leaving not a single soldier behind, and there was no such selfless person in the world, and there should be a secret agreement or it was not known," and "if there is a secret agreement with Japan that includes the funds agreed to be rewarded with land, it will endanger the interests of other countries and must not be agreed." Both the Russian and Japanese governments have repeatedly insisted that no such secret treaty exists.

In view of the fact that the situation in Japan is becoming more and more complicated due to the arrival of the Russian army, the Qianguo Imperial Court has also launched a fierce debate on this, and some Qingliu ministers advocate allowing Russia to send troops to help the Japanese Government quell the chaos, and that the Qianguo country does not have to have much trouble, while some Western-style ministers believe that Japan and Qianguo are facing each other across the sea, and "the civil strife has been too long, and there are many pirates, and it is inevitable that there will be stories of the former dynasty and the Japanese invaders plundering the borders." If left unchecked, "I am afraid that China will suffer greatly." And Russia "will investigate the chaos on its behalf and will not be able to stay in it afterwards, which will also be a disaster for Middle-earth," and advocate uniting other countries to intervene together. The two factions are arguing. Finally, with the support of Prince Jing. The opinions of the ministers of the Western-style faction prevailed, but the ministers of the Qianguo did not agree on how to unite other countries to intervene, so there was no concrete action.

However, at this time, seeing the large number of Russian troops, Britain realized that the development of the matter would not be as simple as the Russians and Japanese explained, and after the British government convened an emergency meeting to negotiate, British Prime Minister Gladstone decided to intervene, but because Britain did not have enough troops in Japan. It was decided to intervene together with other countries, and after sending notes to other countries, France expressed its support, while the United States and Germany were not too enthusiastic, and the Qianguo wanted to intervene but had no fixed opinion, and Prince Jing was determined to act from the perspective of the British, and finally formed a situation in which Britain and France intervened together.

After the decision to intervene, there happened to be a vicious incident in which the Russian army killed a Japanese aristocratic woman and the Russian army looted and mutilated Japanese civilians, which gave the British the best excuse to intervene, and Britain took the opportunity to propose it to Russia. In order to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe, Britain, France, and the three countries will form an "international monitoring mission" to supervise the actions of the Russian army in Japan. The three countries will send warships to Japan to "protect the expatriates of various countries in Japan" and "prevent the occurrence of vicious incidents that harm peaceful residents and violate international law." Although Russia claims that such a thing will not happen again, the three countries have sent warships one after another, and in order to demonstrate its strength, in addition to the two foreign cruisers "Dengyingzhou" and "Yuankai" stationed in the Ryukyus, the three latest "Kaiji"-class armored cruisers "Kaiji," "Jingqing," and "Huantai" have also sailed over to deter the Russian army.

The warm sunlight reflected through the porthole of the officer's cafeteria of the armored cruiser "Kaiji", which inlaid a faint gold edge on the body of Bei Jinquan, the commander of the fleet, but also reflected the corners of his mouth trembling slightly. There are also hands that lie flat on their knees, and they are still shaking despite trying to suppress them.

He's been in a thrilling mood these days.

In fact, since receiving the "secret instructions" from the Minister of Shipping, Ding Yusheng, his mood has not calmed down.

Because now as the supreme commander of this fleet, only he knows the purpose of Ding Yusheng's mooring of this fleet in Osaka.

"Min Xiu, I've been thinking about it for a long time, what are you thinking?" A familiar voice sounded in the doorway.

Pei Jinquan raised his head and saw Deng Zhengqing walking in with a smile.

Although Pei Jinquan heard Deng Zhengqing greet him, his mind was still in meditation, and he was unaware of Deng Zhengqing's greeting.

"Min Xiu! What do you think? So fascinating? Ye Fu, who walked in after Deng Zhengqing, couldn't help but call him too, and he raised his head.

"Ah...... Shichang, Mengmei, you're here. Only then did Pei Jinquan wake up like a dream and greeted Deng Zhengqing and Ye Fu: "Hehe, here...... Distracted. ”

"What the hell is Min Xiu thinking? So distracted? Deng Zhengqing asked with a smile.

"yes, let's hear it." Ye Fu also raised his eyebrows.

Although Pei Jinquan is the oldest among the shipmasters and sailors, and now he is the commander of the sailors, he is inferior in terms of education than the later pipes from the shipmaster and sailor school, and he often has a low self-esteem. But because he is easy-going by nature and treats people honestly, although he is not a Fujian person, the pipe bands do not despise him, but when they get along, they are not as humble and strict as in the army.

"I think what I want, one is a hero, the other is the situation." Pei Jinquan's eyes flashed in a trance again, and he said, "Is it the hero who creates the situation, or the situation that creates the hero?" ”

Listening to Bei Jinquan's words, Deng Zhengqing was slightly stunned, and then immediately spoke: "There is an ancient proverb that the current situation creates heroes, and there is also a saying that heroes create the current situation, but in Deng's humble opinion, the current situation can create heroes, but heroes may not be able to shake the current situation!" ”

Whether the times create heroes or heroes create the times is an unsolvable paradox like chickens laying eggs or eggs laying chickens, and at this time, Deng Zhengqing's words still sound a little infectious. But for Pei Jinquan, it is like scratching the itch in the boots, but it is just like the wind passing through the ears.

"Can Zhengqing give one or two examples?" Pei Jinquan asked.

"Min Xiuke still remembers that in Shaoguang's twenty-year opium campaign, the three dukes who were martyred?" Deng Zhengqing looked at the beautiful scenery of Hong Kong Harbor outside the window and said.

Hearing Deng Zhengqing talk about the three general soldiers Guan Zhongyin, Ge Pengfei and Chen Lianfeng who died in the First Anti-Smoking War, Pei Jinquan and Ye Fu's eyes were gloomy.

"The three general soldiers are all sacrificed for the country in the bloody battle, and after they die, they are extremely grieved......" Deng Zhengqing suddenly stopped, he looked at Bei Jinquan, "It's a pity that we lost the battle." ”

Deng Zhengqing's eyes suddenly deepened, and his expression became thoughtful.

Ye Fu's eyelids jumped suddenly, and a strange feeling floated in his heart, he picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. Then he put down his arms and said slowly: "Zhengqing, please speak." ”

"Although Deng did not experience the opium battle, he had heard it talk about it. Although our great dry water division and land division suffered successive defeats in this battle, it was also related to Zhongjie, Ge Zhuangjie, Chen Zhongjie and other loyal and brave people who fought to the death for the country. Deng Zhengqing continued.

Pei Jinquan nodded solemnly, his eyes gloomy. And Ye Fu's face was also full of sentimentality.

"Zhengqing, can the three general soldiers be called heroes?" Pei Jinquan's voice was much darker than at the beginning.

"If the three martyrs can't be called heroes......", Deng Zhengqing said with deep eyes, "From now on, there will be no heroes in the world!" ”

"However, Deng Mou has one thing that is unclear - after the martyrdom of the third duke, in addition to the praise of the imperial court, how can there be some waves among the people of Shilin?"

"The martyrdom of the three dukes has been more than 30 years ago! If it is really a relative or a remnant of sorrow, others have also sung! Deng Zhengqing's voice has turned cold, "In fact, only a few years after the martyrdom of the three dukes, it has almost been forgotten by the world!" (To be continued......)
