"So, the whole incident was a conspiracy from the beginning? I used as a bait to lure my husband to the south with the main force, and then, a mutiny in the rear to cut off his way back? Chen Lenghe's tone was very calm, not panicked, nor nervous. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Wuwei obviously appreciated her attitude, and smiled lovely, "You can't say that." Before Zuno sent troops, no one could be sure whether he would actually use troops. If the Lu army does not move in Shandong, the challenge for the Yan-Jin coalition may be even greater. But it doesn't matter, people's hearts are turned back, and the general trend is inevitable. The strength of one or two armies, nothing can be reversed. I didn't expect that Zhao Guanhou would be angry with Miss Chen and decide to be the enemy of the world. Regardless of whether there was a Yan-Jin coalition army or not, from the moment he sent out his troops, he was already doomed to the fate of failure. ”

"Oh? What is the back road that the governor said? Chen Lenghe's good-looking big eyes looked at Chen Wuwei, and that kind of gaze made Li David feel boundless sour in his heart.

"It's very simple, change the person to cooperate." Chen Wuwei lit a cigarette, "Your marriage with Zhao Guanhou was not voluntary, now simply correct this mistake." Your idea, I heard David tell me, I can make your idea come true. You don't need to rush to decide who to marry, marriage is a very important matter, and now in this time of war, it is not appropriate to make a hasty decision. As for the road payment in Sichuan, we can discuss and repay it in several installments by means of installment payment. And what Miss Chen has to do is to publicly announce that she will sever the relationship between husband and wife with Zhao Guanhou, which can be regarded as severing with the old forces, cutting off the line in two. The new government has always respected intellectuals, and an outstanding woman like Miss Chen, as long as she has nothing to do with the old forces, will definitely be reused by the new government. ”

Li David said: "Yes, Leng He, think about it, the dream of saving the country and revitalizing the national economy can finally be realized." Mr. Sun has long advocated the improvement of women's status, which is impossible to do in Jinguo. As long as you devote yourself to the new government, whether it is to develop the economy, save the country, or fight for the status of female compatriots, it is achievable. Isn't that what you've been trying to achieve? ”

Chen Lenghe didn't look at him, only at Chen Wuwei. "Chen Dudu, do you mean to say that if I want to cooperate with the Xinzheng Mansion, I must announce my divorce from my husband?"

"That's right. I don't think this condition is harsh, in fact, I believe that if Miss Chen was not forced by the situation and the other party's power, she would have such a plan a long time ago, after all, you are an excellent and self-reliant woman, and you never want to be someone's concubine. In the future, Zhengyuan Women's Bank can cooperate with Songjiang Zhengfu to become a joint venture bank, and I believe that Zhengyuan will have a better future. ”

"What about time?"

"Be quick." Chen Wuwei did not hide it, "The situation of Zhao Guanhou now is just like that of the overlord of Chu back then, the backup is cut off, and the army's morale is unstable." As soon as the news of Miss Chen's divorce came out, his expedition became a joke, which was comparable to Zhang Zifang's pipe of hole flute, blowing away his millions of male soldiers. It is precisely because of such a big role that we can talk about cooperation. In fact, we can make up a statement, but it is not as effective as your personal statement, so we have to wronged Miss Chen, go to the head of Jiangning City, and publicly announce the matter to the soldiers of the Fifth Town. As long as you do all this, you are our guest of honor and one of the most important guests of the new mansion. ”

"Just a guest? I thought you would send me back to Songjiang. Chen Lenghe smiled, took the handbag, took out a lipstick from it, and gently applied it on his lips, making it more and more radiant.

Chen Wuwei helped his glasses, "I'm sorry, I don't want to lie to Miss Chen, now I can't let you go back to Songjiang." Only when the war is over and the situation has calmed down can I really let you go back. But I can guarantee that you will receive the highest standard of hospitality in Jiangning, and Mr. Sun will come to Jiangning, representatives from all over the world, talents from all walks of life will gather in Jiangning, you stay here, you will definitely meet a suitable young man, and form a lifelong partner. This is also a great benefit for our future cooperation. ”

Chen Lenghe nodded, "I understand, say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, if I don't marry an important member of the new Zhengfu, you won't worry about me." If I play a trick and announce my divorce here, and then marry the crown marquis after leaving, you will be greatly affected in terms of public opinion and international prestige. Only if I really marry someone from Xinzhengfu, you can be completely relieved. ”

"Miss Chen, it's good to understand, besides, if you don't have a reliable man as a shelter, you will have to face countless wild bees and butterflies. I think Miss Chen herself should understand the importance of marriage to you. I can guarantee that although the scope is limited, the specific candidate will not be forced, and it is up to you to decide. ”

Chen Lenghe smiled generously, "Since the scope is limited, what is the difference between this kind of voluntary, actual and coercive?" That's why I'm not optimistic about you, and that's why I don't think you'll be able to achieve what you promised. So, my answer is...... Refuse! ”

Her hand jerked out of her purse, but this time it wasn't lipstick or puff, but a revolver. Chen Wuwei was agile, grabbed the table with both hands, and slammed it upward, and the gunshots rang out at this time.

The gunshots rang out, the person fell to the ground, and Li David watched everything that happened in front of him in amazement. Chen Wuwei fell to the ground, life and death unknown, Chen Lenghe stood by the bed with a gun, his expression resolute. The door was slammed open, and several people walked in from the outside.

Li David subconsciously stretched out his hand to Chen Lenghe, "Get off her gun, she assassinated Chen Dudu." ”

The man who rushed in first turned to look at him and sneered: "I'm sorry, you're mistaken, I'm not your subordinate." I am her husband, Zhao Guanhou, and I brought my wife home for dinner. ”

Immediately, someone came up to Chen Lenghe and hugged her gently, "I'm sorry, I came late, I wronged you, and I have to shoot myself." Now that I'm here, you can rest assured, put down the gun, and I'll take you home. ”

The gun in Chen Lenghe's hand fell to the ground, slammed into the man's arms, and shouted, "Answer the order!" ”

Another tall man who walked in coughed and said, "Okay, let's go home with affection, this is not the place now, hurry up." Should this ...... "speak and point at David Li" to be disposed of? ”

Zhao Guanhou looked at Chen Lenghe, "Are you familiar with him?" ”

Chen Lenghe couldn't care about anything else, he only hugged Zhao Guanhou tightly, shook his head and said, "I don't care about anyone except you, whatever you do." ”

"Let's go!"

Zhao Guanhou commanded, and this group of men and horses quickly walked out as they came. Chen Lenghe was picked up by Zhao Guanhou and strode out of the room, only then did she find that Liu Fubiao and his guards had been disarmed.

When I came to the door, I saw the sentry at the door, but it was still the original soldier of the ninth town. But after seeing Zhao Guanhou, he only said congratulations repeatedly, and he didn't mean to be embarrassed. After the men and horses left, the soldiers of the ninth town took off their uniforms, threw away their weapons, and disappeared into the darkness.

David Li was stunned in the room for a few minutes, thinking that someone would come and give him a knife, or tie himself up. But from beginning to end, no one paid attention to him, as if he was a transparent person.

Chen Wuwei had already shed a lot of blood, staining half of his body red, and it wasn't until he let out a few painful moans that David Li realized what he had to do. First, he ran to the side of the bed and picked up the pistol, fiddled with it twice, and then went outside and fired a shot into the air, shouting: "Come on, come on!" Chen Dudu was assassinated, and Zhao Guanhou entered the city! ”

Gunshots rang out in the streets of Jiangning. There are soldiers of the imperial court outside, and the precautions in the city will not be relaxed, and in the city of Jiangning, night curfew is implemented at night. And with the sound of gunfire, the originally quiet street quickly fell into chaos.

Liang Dengdian, the sentry officer of the Ning Army, originally led the men and horses of the headquarters to be responsible for street patrols, and the defense area was not in this area, but based on a sense of responsibility, as soon as he heard the gunshots, he did not dare to delay and immediately led his troops to arrive. At this time, it was already past eleven o'clock at night, and there were street lights in Jiangning City, and there was no obstacle to eyesight.

Far away, I heard the sound of people shouting and neighing, and the sound of horses' hooves on the ground was like thunder. He waved his hand, and the soldier immediately raised his rifle to stand on guard, and in a short time, he saw a white horse of Tessie carrying the two men in front. Behind this mount were more than a hundred horses, roaring, and their iron hooves beating war drums on the ground of the ancient capital, sweeping in their direction.

These horses are tall and strong, and at night, they look like demon gods. The combined forces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were not equipped with cavalry, and the few horses were also inferior horses, which were incomparable with this kind of foreign horses that were obviously from Taixi. At a glance, you can see that the person who came is not your companion.

Liang Dengdian only felt that his heartbeat was several times faster than usual, and he raised his pistol and scolded: "Stop! ”

What replied to him was a relentless volley of bullets, and then his sentry was trampled by the iron horse. All that remained on the ground were guns and flags, and casualties of soldiers trampled by knives and horses.

Chen Lenghe curled up in Zhao Guanhou's arms, the bullets in her ears whizzing, and she could even feel the burning heat as the bullets grazed her cheeks. After all, there were huge forces in Jiangning City, and after the gunshots rang out, there were troops who dared to stop them. But in front of this cavalry, the infantry, which did not have time to form a formation and build a defense, could not play much of a blocking role.

The infantry formed in formation on the streets were instantly stabbed through by the cavalry, and most of these new troops were on the battlefield for the first time, and it was also the first time they encountered this kind of cavalry conflict. Just seeing those huge monsters, my teeth chattered with fright, the posture of loading and firing was seriously deformed, the guns and bullets were not accurate, and the bayonet array was not able to speak.

These soldiers were not very good, but they were loyal warriors, and even when they knew they were going to die, they remained faithful to their duties. Their tenacity also caused the cavalry of the Lu army to begin to suffer casualties, and one by one the horses fell to the ground with a wail, and the riders fell heavily under the horses.

Some of the cavalrymen did not die, but still raised their carbines and fired at the enemy, shouting: "Hurry up, big marshal, the little family will be entrusted to you!" ”

These cavalrymen carried hand bullets with them, and threw bullets while running, and those who landed also threw hand bullets with all their might, and the explosions were incessant, and the screams came out one after another.

The direction of their action was the Taiping Gate, which was close to the Dibao City, and the officers and soldiers of the fourth battalion in the ninth town had been ordered, and Chen Lenghe was rescued by Zhao Guanhou, and ordered to block the gates and prevent them from escaping.

Although I don't know how many troops have entered the city, but if I think about it, there will not be too many, and a battalion can always be blocked. However, as soon as the troops completed the assembly, the gang led the management and said:

"Brothers, we must speak of conscience. Let's not forget, when we owe money, who allocates funds for us to raise salaries, so that everyone will not go hungry and let the family have a bite to eat. Besides, we are soldiers, Jiangning is where our Sangzi is, if Zhao Guanhou is killed, the people of the fifth town will retaliate, and then the entire Jiangning will be buried with him. ”

Zhao Wu said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Say that again, beware of me confining you up. ”

"Zhao Guandai, you don't make sense. Isn't it now united, and everyone knows that they are equal? The officer is not taller than the soldier, and he cannot put on a stand with the soldier or break his face, so why can you care what I say? Now that we advocate the opening of the newspaper ban, you can say whatever you want, when will it hinder you? ”

Several sentinels also said: "Guan Band, don't worry, wait for him to finish speaking." Tell me, why do you have to accompany the funeral? ”

"I don't know what to do? Tianbao City and Earth Protector City have been lost, and Jiangning has lost Tianbao City and Earth Protector City since the Taiping Army, and there is no time to defend it. Even if he were killed, his troops would be able to break the city. Now that Zhao Guanhou is alive, it is he who has come to attack the city. If he has three longs and two shorts, maybe it will be Zhang Yuan and his pigtail soldiers who will attack the city, and we know what kind of people those people are. They entered Jiangning, and you think about what it was like in the city. ”

Zhao Wu said angrily: "Enough! You are shaking the morale of the army, come and shoot him! ”

He shouted several times, but no one moved below, even his personal follower, Ma Ben, did not wait to move. A pro-soldier said: "Guan Band, I think what the gang said makes sense, I am from the city, I can't let Zhang Yuan come in, then my family will be killed." This command...... We cannot obey, and now, please surrender your weapons......"

The horses galloped.

Chen Lenghe's tears never stopped for a moment, since the breakout, the cavalry has suffered more than 20 casualties. The price paid by the defenders is incalculable, and I don't know how many infantry teams were trampled by these cavalry, and the corpses were scattered all over the field. In her opinion, all this was caused by herself, if she hadn't been arrested, Zhao Guanhou hadn't come to save herself, and everything would not have happened.

So many excellent men, brave and loyal warriors, just fell like this, and she only felt that her heart was pierced by a knife again and again. She is just a banker, not a soldier, and she does not have this kind of ruthlessness. The only hope now is that this nightmare will end sooner and everyone will get out of danger sooner.

The officers and soldiers of the Ninth Town did not appear, but a Ning army was already stopped on the road. The estimation of this Ning army is very large, there are more than two posts, although it is a hasty army, but the formation has been put in shape.

Chen Lenghe closed her eyes, she could imagine that what would happen next would be an earth-shattering volley of guns, on her own side, and she didn't know who would fall.

Sometimes she even wishes that she was the one who was shot, so that she could pay off the debt she owed. Anyway, I have already seen my husband, and now even if he dies, there is no regret.

Gunshots, explosions, sure enough. But this time, it was not from the cavalry, but from behind the blocking troops. An infantry squad appeared like a ghost, and with a highly accurate platoon of guns and hand ammunition, it crushed the blocking troops. Two sentinels were killed on the spot, and the troops were easily crushed in front of the iron horsemen like lambs to the slaughter.

Zhao Guanhou lowered his head and said to Chen Lenghe: "Open your eyes, it's okay." ”

Chen Lenghe saw that a unit wearing a new army uniform was acting as a guide in front of them, guiding them the way, and the other unit was behind the cavalry, and the officer leading the army looked very familiar, and the other party had already come to greet warmly, "Hello Mrs., you don't recognize the small one, the small one is Huo Qiu, we have seen the ...... in Songjiang."

The latch of the Taiping Gate has been removed and the gate has been opened. Dozens of infantry ran over, and the leader shouted angrily, "Xia Qiu Feng, Xia Qiu Shuang, do you two brothers want to rebel against the water?" Don't stop them for me yet. ”

"You're right, Lao Tzu is anti-water!" Xia Qiufeng raised his hand and shot the shouter's military hat down. "Take a blank paper as a military salary, I can't do this kind of dirty thing, and it's a shame, I want to go to the army where I found the foreign to eat, and I will follow us first, let's go together."
