"Go back and get some rest." Lin Yiqing looked at Youjia Iwasaki and smiled gently, "Don't care what your father thinks of you, he doesn't deserve such a good daughter." ”

Iwasaki Yujia couldn't remember how she returned home from the staff camp, and along the way, she was in a trance, as if in a dream, and only Lin Yiqing's words echoed in her ears.

When she got home, she went to her room and opened the door, as if she had returned to the cold world of reality, and Iwasaki Yuka dropped her hat and leaned down on her soft bed with her arms outstretched. Smelling the cold and familiar smell of the quilt, the feeling of loneliness and sorrow returned, and she immediately closed her eyes and closed the door of reality and reason.

Everything that happened in the staff base camp today is too much like a dream, a dream that thousands of people in the world have had a lover thousands of times, but now that I wake up from the dream, it will be a cold reality and an endless night of human growth.

The night light was faint, and she stretched out her arms and lay there quietly, and the coolness of the night began to envelop her. In the blur, she seemed to be able to feel the good feeling he gave her. The gentle words, the feeling of a gentle kiss, the warmth and firmness of his chest when his hands held his face like a treasure, all fascinated her.

She closed her eyes. Strangely, there is no guilt at all. I thought that being with him would be an abyss of sin and pain, but who knew that on the contrary, it was too beautiful and too happy. When his eyes stared at her deeply, she finally couldn't resist his light and strength, and finally gave in weakly, and accepted him into her heart without reason.

Is she too weak and lacks self-control? Could it be that she didn't realize that she always couldn't control the shock of seeing him? Always looking forward to a happy and alluring ending?

Close your eyes. Even now I can see and feel his deadly handsome attraction in the sun. A combination of beauty and power! But why can't others give her such a shocking feeling? Why was the father ready to let her marry the person who passed. Can't you give her such a shocking feeling?

At that moment, when I stood in the sun in that beautiful and seductive white silk coat, what I felt was the fresh and huge shock that emanated from under that person's military uniform!

How to explain this incredible power? That resonance between beauty and beauty! How long will it take for the extreme pleasure, beauty, and tension that only the heart knows when we get along with each other to get rid of that tremendous breathtaking power?

Now she slowly stood up and sat down next to the bright heart-shaped mirror. It was another heart, an outward, cold, realistic heart. Now in this heart, she slowly raised the deep eyes of the deep will of black and white, this is another self. A person who doesn't look like himself no matter how he looks. There was a pure and immaculate light in those eyes, and it was these eyes that wanted to hold on to him desperately, to get something that could not be obtained by any means!

Yuka Iwasaki suddenly lifted off the mirror and fell onto the bed in one fell swoop. At this moment, she recognized herself more clearly than ever. Admit it, you like him, you expect him, you want him, you think from the first time he hugs you, whether he is a devil or an angel, whether he killed your fellow human beings or not, his hands are stained with the blood of countless innocents. From the first moment you see him, you want to see him.

The flower pillow towel on the bed fell silently on the dark red carpet, and she lay there motionless. Hair hung down a bed. For a long time, she closed her eyes. At this moment, she finally admitted that she had feelings for that person, that irreplaceable crazy emotion of wanting to get someone!

It was dark and quiet, and the chiming clock on the wall began to tick quietly again, and Iwasaki Yuka lay on his back in the darkness with his big dark eyes. In the darkness, as if a black-haired devil squatted on the beam above, he opened his mouth and kept breathing with his heart rhythm, and suddenly on the ground, the eerie and terrifying aura gradually dispersed, and the Persian white cat named "Bai Xue" with combed hair "meowed", so frightened that she jumped down from the table silently, and slipped lightly to the door with her soft soles on the dark red carpet.

This is the first time in a long time that Iwasaki has reflected on himself head-on. She didn't know or analyze what kind of person she was at this time. In the blur, I only vaguely felt that she was at least similar to that person, that is, if she caught it, she would never want to let go, and she would never want to let go. She didn't even know that this was the biggest difference between a lover and a heartless person. The biggest difference between a lover and a ruthless person is that after experiencing great sorrow and mourning, the indifference of the ruthless person's nature enables them to see through the red dust sword and slash the love thread drifting away. And because of the warmth of nature, lovers do not give up lightly even at the last moment of life, unless the end of the love thread is broken first. It's because of the weight of love! And Iwasaki Yujia's nature of being cold on the outside and hot on the inside was destined from the beginning, and she would never be a ruthless person with a sword and a love thread. She imagined for a moment that any beautiful and lonely girl would never be indifferent when she suddenly faced a handsome and powerful opponent like Lin Yiqing. Even though he is a devil who kills without blinking, he has killed countless of his compatriots. So naturally, don't mention the lion-like and handsome Lin Yiqing's shocked expression when she appeared in front of a beautiful girl full of countless love fantasies who had been locked up at home for three or four years, how could she not be indifferent to his love and tenderness? In addition to being an enemy, Lin Yiqing has all the excellent qualities that a beautiful girl can imagine about a lover in her adolescent fantasy period: young, shockingly handsome, slender and well-proportioned figure, black as the Dead Sea, the black eyes of a lover who can drown people, especially those deep eyes, will kill when looking at the beloved girl. In addition, his cold and proud lion-like personality is also an important reason for attracting attention. Girls don't necessarily like the gentle reindeer, the fierceness of the lion, the ferocity of the tiger, the cruelty of the hungry wolf, and sometimes the same target of their attention. In addition, he has a sincere heart. Although it is especially good compared to Iwasaki. No matter how you look at Lin Yiqing's behavior, he belongs to the kind of person with evil spirit. Of course, he is not lacking in integrity. It's just that his integrity is only relative to the people who are on the same class and position as him, but he is definitely sincere. On this point, Yuka Iwasaki is an absolute believer in his own insight. His sincerity comes from the way he looks at people and the way he speaks. And sincerity is precisely the most important quality of love. It is the most beautiful quality that comes from the depths of the soul, and it is impossible not to be moved by the wisdom of Iwasaki, who deeply understands its beauty and noble value. The deep eyes of a lover, coupled with a sincere heart that never lacks enthusiasm, even a hard-hearted person will be touched. Therefore, when Iwasaki Yuka, who has a pair of deep and intelligent black eyes, can imagine the shock when he encounters such a powerful opponent. And before that, she had been locked up at home for three years, and she had indeed never seen such a beautiful image as him. I never imagined that there would be a bright, handsome and young life form like him in the world. It's a kind of happiness to talk to such a person, let alone get his attention. Such a pair of calm and deep eyes, when full of cold, these eyes can kill, but when looking at her, the obsession of the gentle lover can suffocate to death.

How did she come across him?

At the beginning, for the sake of her father's wishes, for the safety of these people of the Iwasaki family in Osaka, and for the safety of her Iwasaki Yuka herself, Iwasaki Yuka chose to accept her fate. And now, she is a little glad that she is trapped in Osaka!

If not. She might never touch him.

She is not a foolish person who has no concept of right and wrong, good and evil. She's just a beautiful amorous teenage girl, when someone gives her love, she returns his love, and when someone gives her love, she gives him back love!

Yuka Iwasaki, who had returned to the real world, was lying there motionless, and there was no great joy in his heart because of love, because that love was too much like a dream, illusory and ethereal, and it did not match reality. What should she do in reality? She had completely calmed down.

She felt something hard in her pocket: it was an immortal jade amulet engraved with his birth date on her cousin Iwasaki Eiya, which his parents had begged for at the shrine when he was born - Lin Yiqing did not cut off his ear, but used it to show Iwasaki Eitaro that he was a prisoner as a proof of ransom payment.

She slowly covered her eyes with a pillow. What should she do? Do as he asks? Father must be mad! But if he didn't do what he asked, he wouldn't embarrass himself, and his cousin would definitely die!

Although she hates her cousin's meanness, she is her own relative after all, and she doesn't want her cousin to die.

After thinking about it, Iwasaki Yujia still decided to do what Lin Yiqing asked.

After all, he has fulfilled his responsibilities, and whether his father is willing to pay the ransom or not is his father's business, and it has nothing to do with her Iwasaki Yuka.

Her position in her father's mind, she already understood.

Then let the father pay a little price for his misunderstanding! She thought to herself with some amusement.

Gradually, her thoughts returned to Lin Yiqing.

What will his future look like?

Is he really going to fight to Tokyo?

The father in Tokyo, I'm afraid that he will end up with the same fate as his cousin, right?

If he fails, will he be arrested and locked up like his cousin?

Or will they be brutally executed?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder.

She really couldn't think of how this war would end.

Iwasaki Yuka sighed, and at some point, her ears rang again with the beautiful melody he had played for her.

“…… Barren world,

Holy flowers bloom all over the mountains,

Lost in the boundaries of forgotten memories;

A gust of wind blew on the seashore,

Brushing my ears,

With tears in my heart, I closed my eyes.

The endless night is like a catastrophe,

It's hard to fall asleep alone,

The intersection of stars and moon,

It is the vast sword shadow that is opposite to each other.

Look at the bloody world,

Silver and black intertwine with the flame of remorse,

Bearing irreparable sins;

Let the lake take away my thoughts,

Drowning my tears.

Things aren't perfect. There are no absolutes.

Separated the world of the two. There is nowhere to grieve,

It is not a sin to love your neighbor, but to be a puppet of hatred,

O God Almighty,

You look down on the world, the world of lust and war that abuses the blood-red world,

Will you forgive this little life? ……”

She sang softly the lyrics she had composed for the piano piece, and was surprised to find out. It's so perfect, it can be said that it is a perfect match.

She had already decided that the next time he came to visit, she would play and sing for him with her own hands.

In this beautiful poetic music, she fell asleep sweetly.

"Li Wenzhong's Public Collection: Attached to the Shanghai Exploration Letter (August 20)": "...... All the matters of the civil war in the East have been discussed for several days, and letters have been written from Nagasaki, Yokohama, and other places in Japan, knowing that the Japanese government is not conducive to quelling the rebellion, and that the sea and land have lost their divisions one after another, and they want to borrow troops from foreign countries. The total number of foreign newspapers and Russian troops is 15,000. I don't know what the number of soldiers is. There is also a cloud Citigroup ship, which is loaded with 3,000 people. Hired soldiers for Japan's Mitsubishi Company. A total of five boats were to go. Two warships were sent from Russia, one was sent to Vladivostok by Japan, and two merchant ships were transferred, both hired by Westerners. But four or five thousand is no less. The Westerners had a neutrality treaty, and Russian soldiers should not be hired by Japan, and it was contrary to public law to carry troops to the country. The fact that the Saigo Takamori Rebellion in Japan was because the samurai of the old feudal clan were embarrassed to make a living and were not comfortable with the country, so they raised troops to avenge the lord of the country...... In successive days, they met with envoys from Britain, France, Germany, and the United States, and pretended that the Oriental telegrams received by various countries were indeed Russia's belief in plotting against Japan. He also said that there was a Russian who led the army, and hired an American naval officer to lead the warships. It is roughly the same as the letter from Shanghai that we are currently receiving from Shanghai. If this is true, I am afraid that China will not be implicated, and I don't know what the Russians want? That's a lot of worry! ……”

"The day before yesterday, Yanagihara and others came to Tianjin, specifically to thank me for giving me 100,000 Japanese medicines, and said that they would borrow our soldiers to quell the rebellion, and promised a lot of money. Shaoquan reiterated his hope for peace and reconciliation in Japan, and allowed to sell Japanese arms at a low price, saying that the strength of Middle-earth was limited, and it was difficult to allocate a large army to Japan to help suppress it, and the imperial court did not want to benefit Japan, but now there were also military affairs in Middle-earth, and there was no spare effort to take care of Japan. …… Yanagihara came back to our office and talked freely for a long time. When Shaoquan asked Japan whether it could borrow troops from Russia to help suppress it, Yanagihara was stunned, replied that he had not heard of it, and said that if the Japanese government had such intentions, it should make every effort to stop it......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Under the lamp, Count Yanagihara Maemitsu, the Japanese minister to Qianguo, was quickly writing on the paper with a quill pen.

“…… I have seen the warships built at the Mawei Shipyard under the Fujian Shipbuilding Bureau of the Qianguo Navy, including cruisers of more than 3,000 tons, large fast gunboats of more than 2,000 tons, and small gunboats of several hundred tons, all of which were built by Chinese workers under the guidance of French technicians, and were as good as the ships built by European shipyards. Unlike the old army, which was equipped with battered wooden sailing ships, the sailors of the Qianguo who drove these warships were also very good, and they were all very well trained and had strong combat effectiveness. According to my observations, among the maritime armed forces of Qianguo, the Fujian Shipbuilding and Naval Division, which is composed entirely of new steam warships, is the real navy. At present, some of the warships of this fleet have been stationed in Taiwan and the Ryukyus, and two of the latest cruisers have been sent to our country, and the commander of these two warships is a captain named Deng Zhengqing, who is determined and brave, and I have met with this captain and deeply admire his ability......"

When writing this, Yanagihara Maemitsu remembered that in the name of "tourism", he wanted to enter Moss Bay to inspect the truth and reality, but was caught by Deng Zhengqing at sea, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

At that time, Deng Zhengqing was only the captain of a small steam gunboat "Fusheng", but now, he is the captain of the latest cruiser "Kaiji" of the Qianguo Navy!

Yanagihara Maemitsu had no doubt that if the cruisers "Kaiji" and "Jingqing" commanded by Deng Zhengqing could help the Japanese Navy in combat, it would play a role in turning things around!

Yanagihara Maeko settled down and continued to write:

"I suggest that the Navy Ministry submit a request to the Yamen of the Qianguo Navy and send this person to command the two cruisers nearby to fight against the thief navy, which will certainly deal a great blow to the thief army. In addition, I propose to secondment the army to the Qianguo government, that is, the troops stationed in Zhili Province, which have been trained in the Western style and use Western-style guns and artillery, and are more effective than the armies in other parts of the Qianguo region,...... According to my contacts with the ministers of Qianguo in the past few days, they are generally worried that after the empire falls into civil strife, a large number of pirates will appear and intrude on the coastal areas of Qianguo......

After writing it, Yanagihara Maemitsu read it carefully again, and was very satisfied, so he sealed the letter and prepared to send someone to translate the letter into a telegram and send it back to Tokyo the next morning.

Just as Yanagihara Maemitsu was about to rest, an embassy counselor walked quickly into Yanagihara Maemitsu's room.

"Your Excellency, urgent telegram from Tokyo." The counsellor said, handing over a translated telegram. (To be continued......)
