In a remote mountain village, in the moonlit night, it seems that you can see the snow of the Great Snow Mountain in the distance.

In a foreign country, the climate is extremely strange, and the white is still warm and breezy, and at night, even if you wear a fur coat, you will feel the cold wind.

Sitting on a dry stone at the entrance of the village, Li Xiucheng sighed deeply, if he was seen by the old man, he would be surprised, it was hard to believe that the bearded old man in front of him was Li Xiucheng, the loyal king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who was in the Central Plains more than ten years ago.

Now he has gray hair and a frowning face, just like an old man who is close to the age of sixties, and there is no light in his eyes.

Years of hiding in the bitter cold land of the East Tibetan Province, perhaps it is not only the years that have been consumed, but also his spirit.

When you come to the gathering place of the Akhandians in India, it is naturally difficult to find fertile and fertile fields that can support tens of thousands of people. Gradually, in order to survive, the remnants of the Taiping army slowly divided, and many people laid down their arms and moved to the south, intermarried with the locals, and became members of the local tribesmen, and the number of settlers in this so-called "Chinese Heavenly Kingdom" village is now less than 2,000.

Especially when the British merchants, after the initial close contact with the rest of the Taiping army, gradually found that this armed force could not bring them any benefit, but became a hot potato, and their enthusiasm gradually faded, and in the past two years, even a penny of material support could not be seen.

And the connection with the Central Plains was gradually cut off, and Lu Yueting began to send telegrams to Calcutta, and then the Calcutta people turned to letters to send them, but the ethnic groups and tribes in India were chaotic, and the messengers often disappeared.

Later, Lu Yueting sent letters from Tibetan Province, but they were often seized by the imperial border guards, and Li Xiucheng's last letter from Lu Yueting was a year ago, and it was clear that the control of the imperial central political axe over Tibetan Province had become more and more powerful.

Now, Li Xiucheng doesn't know what the outside world is like at all, let alone the situation of the regent who sits in the north and is the emperor.

Picking up the coat, Li Xiucheng slowly closed his eyes.

Behind him, there was the sound of footsteps, and a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes sat beside Li Xiucheng, who was Li Xiucheng's deputy and Qian Guiren, the deputy commander of the Kingdom of Heaven.

After being silent for a long time, Qian Guiren sighed deeply: "The wind in India is so cold!" ”

Then, there was a long silence.

Qian Guiren turned his head to look at Li Xiucheng, and suddenly said, "Dashuai, my brothers and I, can we still go back to the Central Plains to see the scenery?" ”

Li Xiucheng turned his head and looked at Qian Guiren quietly, as if he had expected this day.

Being stared at by his blazing gaze, a trace of shame flashed on Qian Guiren's face, but it was fleeting, and soon, he raised his head, looked directly at Li Xiucheng, and said: "Dashuai, let's surrender, the official envoy promised that he would not be guilty of the past and would not execute a soldier." ”

Li Xiucheng smiled miserably: "Can you trust the words of the Tartars?" ”

Qian Guiren slowly bowed his head and said: "Trustworthy, handsome, the Central Plains has long changed the world, there are no Eight Banners and no Baylor Beizi, and over the years, the country has become stronger and stronger, and the north has resisted Tsarist Russia and fought Yangyi in the west, but it is not something we can imagine in the mountains, we, in the eyes of others, are no different from fleas." ”

Li Xiucheng said lightly: "In this way, you have been in contact with officers and soldiers all these years. ”

Qian Guiren's eyes immediately became vigilant, and he nodded slowly.

Li Xiucheng turned his head again, looked at the shadowy figures nearby, and said, "If I don't agree, you will do it?" ”

Qian Guiren said in a deep voice: "I just want to find a way for everyone to live, don't hide it from the marshal, the three brigade commanders are willing to surrender with me." "Although the rest of the Taiping Army still has brigade commanders, in fact, there are more than 2,000 people, and there are five brigade commanders, and the establishment has long been chaotic, but Qian Guiren has the support of three brigade commanders, that is, most of the soldiers are willing to surrender.

Qian Guiren said again: "Brother, I don't want to see our own people killing each other, if the handsome man doesn't agree, will he be willing to see the disaster cause Xiao Wall, and the old brother who saved his life in every danger will kill a flesh and blood in a blink of an eye?" ”

Li Xiucheng stopped talking and slowly looked into the distance.

Qian Guiren stared at him, the expression in his eyes was complicated and incomprehensible, he felt guilty for a while and ruthless for a while, and his breathing gradually became heavier.

Just when Qian Guiren's face showed a look of determination, Li Xiucheng suddenly said lightly: "Okay, after you are in trouble, don't forget that you are to blame." ”

Qian Guiren's heart moved, he hesitated slightly, and then said aloud: "I won't complain about the sky." He added: "The officers and soldiers are in the Black Wind Forest more than ten miles away, and the commander can go with me." ”

Li Xiucheng was stunned, got up slowly, and muttered, "More than ten miles away? More than a dozen miles away? "Obviously, if you don't surrender today, you will encounter a thunderous blow from the officers and soldiers in the blink of an eye.

…… The Black Wind Forest is naturally the name given by Li Xiucheng and other Chinese, and in the mouths of the local Akhandians, this endless primeval forest has another strangely pronounced long name.

At the edge of the dense forest, in a military tent, Li Xiucheng and Qian Guiren met Yang Qing, the commander of the mountain infantry battalion of the Imperial Royal Heavy Infantry Janissary Brigade.

Yang Qing was originally an officer of the Peacock Infantry Regiment, and now the Peacock Infantry Regiment has been reorganized into the Peacock Railway Garrison Regiment, completely withdrawn from the battle sequence, and became a Central Plains Railway Guard Force.

Her name is given by the matchmaker, the martial arts have to be selected by the matchmaker, Tao is skilled, and she is indeed a talent who is in charge of her own way, and was finally absorbed into the heavy infantry Janissary Brigade, three years ago to prepare for the establishment of the mountain battalion, all the way to the examination and selection, and finally Yang Qing was appointed as the commander of the mountain battalion. She is a Hakka mountain tribe, trekking through mountains and rivers like walking on flat ground, and leading the mountain camp is exactly what she wants.

The heavy infantry mountain battalion, originally rated at 613 people, was equipped with light machine guns, a mortar company (sentry), did not carry heavy weapons such as cannons, and was equipped with dozens of camels for large-scale transfers.

Later, the mountain battalion was merged with the Lhoba mountain battalion recruited by the imperial border guards in southern Tibet, becoming the reinforced battalion with the largest number of rated personnel in the empire, plus more than 600 Lhoba warriors, the entire mountain battalion was 1,297 people, and hundreds of camels were also equipped.

The Lhoba people live in southern Tibet, a primitive social structure, and their small tribe has killed more than 100 British expeditions with bows and arrows, which is a big headache for the British.

The tribe now has a population of more than 100,000, but in later generations, only about 3,000 people were ruled by China, and the rest of the hundreds of thousands of tribes lived in areas controlled by Indians, and their struggle for return to the motherland has not subsided for a moment.

Nowadays, the southwestern region of Tibet is controlled by the imperial border guard posts, and the Lhoba people naturally belong to the whole tribe, and their tribe has no writing, and the Central Plains script is also introduced, and its elite warriors are selected to set up mountain battalions.

Nowadays, in the heavy infantry mountain battalion, the Lhoba warriors are still equipped with bamboo bows and poison arrows, but the bows and arrows have been mechanically transformed by the Central Plains to maintain their light and agile style, so that their rate of fire is faster and longer, and some Lhoba warriors are equipped with imperial steel crossbows. In addition to relying on the special talents of its people, the mountain battalion has many surprise attacks, with the participation of these one-in-a-thousand, and its tactics are more diverse.

Li Xiucheng naturally didn't know about these situations, but along the way, he occasionally saw a "wild man" wearing animal skin jumping down from the towering tree, which couldn't help but surprise him.

When he saw that the supreme commander of the emperor's [***] team was a female officer, Li Xiucheng couldn't help but sigh deeply, there are female champions and female generals in heaven, and the same is true of the new dynasty?

Yang Qing was taken aback when he saw Li Xiucheng, this dry little old man is the loyal king? Where is there a trace of heroism?

However, her face was as usual, and she said to Li Xiucheng and Qian Guiren: "Welcome to the two who surrendered to Cheng before the battle, the emperor has already issued an amnesty order, and the rest of the Taiping Army, those who disarm and surrender, except for the horse bandits who have killed our soldiers, will be pardoned for their capital crimes." He glanced at Li Xiucheng and said, "General Li's crimes will be tried by a military court, but the emperor has said in advance, no matter what kind of crime you are convicted of, the emperor will pardon your death sentence." ”

As he spoke, a soldier on the side had already brought a brocade plate, Yang Qing took out the edict from the brocade plate, opened his eyes, and said: "Two generals, please look, this is the amnesty decree issued by the emperor." ”

Li Xiucheng waved his hand dejectedly, and found a chair to sit down, now he is no longer the spirit and elegance of the past, and life and death have long been out of his mind.

Yang Qing said again: "I also have good news for you, your only son is safe and sound." ”

Li Xiucheng was stunned: "What? He stood up abruptly and said, "You, what did you say?" "He really can't imagine that his son is still alive in the world, and he has been arrested for nearly ten years, even if he is not executed on the spot and put in a prison cell, but he will not live to this day, right?

Yang Qing said: "Ming said that you will be deported to Beijing, and when you return to the capital, you will know." He asked Qian Guiren again: "Have the Akhandians been contacted?" ”

Qian Guiren hurriedly laughed and said, "Yes, there are several Akhand tribes who are willing to join the Central Plains. ”

Yang Qing nodded slightly and said, "Okay, maybe I can go around Delhi." ”

Delhi was originally the capital of the Mughal Empire in India, but after the British occupied India, they moved the colonial capital to the port city of Kolkata, but Delhi is still the largest city in northern India.

Li Xiucheng's excited emotions gradually calmed down, and he was slightly stunned when he heard Yang Qing's words, and his heart was even more dazed, the prosperity of the new dynasty was really beyond his imagination.

…… A few days later, the news that the Chinese infantry battalion had captured Dehradun, a city more than 200 miles north of Delhi, shocked the world.

When the British minister lodged a serious protest with the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the explanation given by the Chinese Foreign Ministry was that the Chinese soldiers were pursuing the Taiping rebels and helping the Akhandians to free themselves from the rule of the Taiping rebels.

A few days later, an Indian infantry battalion rushed to the rescue, suffering heavy casualties and almost being wiped out, and the British company reinforced from Delhi did not escape under the extremely fierce fire of the Chinese.

When the news came out, the countries were in an uproar, and the most shocked were the Indians, the Indian uprising that had just been bloodily suppressed, the seeds of hatred had not yet faded, and in the gossip spread by the Indians to each other, the Chinese had started an all-out war with the British, and the nationalists immediately rose up to support the Chinese and resist the British colonialists.

In India, there were scattered expulsion movements from the British, and in the Akhand region, several tribes issued a joint declaration to form the Akhand Dominion, which would no longer pay taxes to the British.

Obviously, the development of the situation greatly surprised the British and even more unexpected by the Chinese, and the situation felt quite out of control.

In Yenching, the Imperial Foreign Ministry and the British Minister began round-the-clock discussions.

And Ye Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly, did he want to play with fire [***]?

The original goal was to hit the arrogance of the British, who knew that the heavy infantry mountain battalion was extremely ruthless, and completely annihilated a British infantry company, which was the most painful defeat suffered by the British in the colony in recent years, and the news came out, which became more and more exaggerated, and was used by Indian nationalists to propagate a full-scale war between China and Britain to help the Indians read, and the powerful neighbors in the north had the strength to compete with the British, which made the Indians who had not disappeared from their hatred of the British rise up one after another.

Hearing that the British Mediterranean fleet has passed through the Suez Canal and has begun to issue conscription orders in the colonies, it is obvious that the British have judged at the highest level that the Chinese intend to get involved in India, and they are more supportive of the Indians' reading movement, and in order not to lose this crown pearl of the queen, they can only teach the Far Eastern hegemon, who is becoming more and more domineering in the East, by force, so that they know who is the master of this world.

The Russians, too, began to make a move and gather forces on the southeastern front.

Once war breaks out, there is no doubt that China will face strong pressure from Britain and Russia at the same time, one is a well-deserved world hegemon, and the other has unfathomable war potential.

In early November, the Empire issued an order for the mobilization of the entire army, and a few days later, the Imperial fleet appeared in Pontianak to confront the British and Indian fleets at Sinjiapo.

Citizens of the Reich, who read the newspapers and were even slightly concerned about the international situation, could feel the danger of war with the British.

Soon, the Suzaku Club launched a campaign of "everyone donates money and goes to the national disaster together", and the number of donations from all over the country exceeded 100 million yuan (10 million silver dollars) in just half a month.

…… Buckingham Palace, London.

In May of this year, the Queen's fiftieth birthday celebrations had just been held in the colonies, and the Queen of England, known as the grandmother of Europe, who led Britain to the most powerful Victorian era, was quietly listening to the statements of the Chinese envoy with a grim face.

The magnificent white living room, decorated in white and gold, with its delicate accents and luxurious carpets, is a symbol of European culture by English and French artisans.

Liang Chongming, the imperial minister in London, has been an envoy to England since the empire was not established, and now, it has been almost nine years, and in a few months, it will be the time when the new minister arrives, and the rumors of the Beijing division, he will be appointed as the chief deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who knows that when he is about to leave office, he will encounter such a serious incident, and I don't know whether it is his luck or misfortune.

Liang Chongming is already fluent in English, and in the reception room, except for the maids standing by the luxurious golden door far away, there are only Liang Chongming and Queen Victoria.

Liang Chongming knows that although Britain is a constitutional system, Queen Victoria has extraordinary control over British politics. Nowadays, in the conflict with China, the ideas of the various parties in Britain are extremely chaotic, whether it is clamoring for a declaration of war or advocating a calm handling, it is indispensable to play games for their own political interests, and even some arms dealers are also involved, because it is better to communicate directly with the queen in order to deal with those politicians with different evil intentions, and Queen Victoria seems to have thought of this, and did not wait for Liang Chongming to make a request for a visit, and took the initiative to meet him.

"As Your Majesty knows, we have no ambition to compete with your country for India, and we will not support the reading power movement of the Indians."

"Our country is not afraid of war, and your country's policy in the Far East is quite debatable, why cannot our navy enter the Indian Ocean to fight piracy and escort our merchant ships? We are willing to trade fairly with all European countries, but Your Majesty, I have to say that the Europeans are arrogant and still do not regard our country as an equal. ”

Listening to Liang Chongming's generous speech, Queen Victoria smiled when she said this, and said: "Mr. Minister, please stop playing with Oriental words, you should know better than anyone that your country has caused panic in some European countries." I believe that the Dutch and the Spaniards will have different opinions on your grievances. ”

I knew that Queen Victoria was powerful, and I didn't feel the courtesy of the surname in the past, but now sitting in front of the queen, Liang Chongming felt a huge pressure.

Liang Chongming said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, isn't this panic a kind of discrimination?" In the South Seas, any military action of our country is extremely restrained, and Her Majesty should be aware of this. ”

Queen Victoria stirred her coffee and was silent.

Liang Chongming added: "I hope that I will clearly explain my country's position for Her Majesty the Queen, eliminate misunderstandings, and resolve this crisis, I believe that there will be no winners in this war." ”

…… In December, the Chinese fleet sank a pirate ironclad ship of unknown nationality off the coast of Penang, and the Dutch were so frightened by the rapid-fire guns of its capital ship that they began to contact the Chinese side to inquire about the possible surnames of the ships purchased from the Chinese.

After months of negotiations, in January 1870, China and Britain issued a joint communiqué in Yenching, in which China recognized British rule over India and its right to extend its rights, and at the same time, the two countries were to demarcate the Sino-Indian border, and the question of the Dominion of Akhand was unanimously listed as a controversial motion to be resolved through negotiation.

With the issuance of the Joint Communique, the danger of war was temporarily eliminated, and the Chinese obtained port lease rights in Greater Aceh as a trivial matter, and there was no longer any hindrance.

Obviously, in the end, the British lords and factions prevailed, and the extent to which the advanced surnames of the Chinese [***] ships deterred the British, and in any case, the British believed that launching an all-out war with the Chinese in the Far East would be the final result.

In fact, the conflict has put a number of strategic actions of the Chinese on hold, including the construction of the China-Myanmar Railway.

In fact, as early as the Sino-British and French wars, the British proposed to build a railway from the Burmese port of Yangon to Yunnan to open up the southwest gate of China. Now that China is secretly in contact with Burma and is preparing to obtain the right to build a road from Kunming to Yangon, this will enable China to obtain the right to use a military port in the Indian Ocean in the Bengal Sea, and the railway line of this military port extends to the main artery of China's railway, that is, China's strategic materials can be transported by rail to the coast of Bangladesh very quickly, once this railway is completed, it can be said that the Strait of Malacca will unknowingly become the rear of the Chinese fleet that can radiate. And the commercial value, not to mention.

Now this plan can only be put on hold for the time being, lest it completely anger the British at this sensitive moment.

Of course, there are also many windfalls, such as the so-called Akhand Dominion, which was unexpected, and Ye Zhaoke never imagined that the Akhandians would become an issue.

However, this turmoil may become a watershed in Sino-British relations, and I am afraid that the British will be vigilant in keeping an eye on every move of this eastern country from now on.

The British soon announced that the strengthening of the Chinese Sea Fleet and the East India Fleet was completely expected.

…… Pacing in the Qianqing Palace, Ye Zhao couldn't help but feel a little emotional, the country is getting stronger and stronger, and it is inevitable that there will be external interest appeals, and then, it will be difficult, because this kind of interest appeal, gradually, will touch the bottom line of the old empire, if China is on the bank of the British Empire, I am afraid that the rise will not be so simple.

"Father." Next to the door of the palace, a small head popped up, it was the eldest girl Yaoyuan, wearing a small red jacket for the New Year's celebration, carved in pink and jade, and very angry.

The eldest girl and the second girl have just passed the age of five, according to the logic of this world, the New Year can be six years old, and the selection of teachers for them, arranging the course has become Hua Ji's errand, after the New Year, the two little girls will begin to receive formal cultural education, the third girl, the fourth girl and the three princes, to this age is also average.

"Sneaking away, huh?" Ye Zhao asked with a smile. Yao Yuan and Yao Yuan, in fact, the surnames are very different, the eldest daughter, Princess Yongning, Yao Yuan, is more eccentric and eccentric the older she is, and she is not as disciplined as the second daughter.

Yongning saw that his father did not scold her, so he was proud, and carefully walked one of his little legs into the threshold of the palace gate, and saw that his father was still smiling, so he jumped into the palace door with confidence and said, "I miss my father." ”

Before Ye Zhao could speak, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Yongning was startled, so he ran up two steps and hid behind Ye Zhao.

Rong'er walked in with a calm face, and when she saw Ye Zhao's robe, Rong'er blinked her eyes wide and said, "Your Majesty, have you seen Yaoyuan?" The most obedient good child, how can he say that he went to say hello to his grandparents and disappeared? ”

Looking at Xiao Rong'er back then, who is now graceful and luxurious, her mother in the world, and she has become a queen mother who is respected by all princes and princesses, Ye Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing Rong'er's words, Yongning turned out from behind Ye Zhao, lowered his head, and didn't speak.

Rong'er stretched out her hand and said, "Come, the car is waiting outside." ”

Yongning walked towards Rong'er dejectedly, but Ye Zhao felt strange and asked, "Yaoyuan, don't you like grandparents?" ”

"No, it's my grandfather who doesn't like me, and he likes his grandson." Yongning hung his head, very aggrieved.

Ye Zhao smiled: "What about grandma?" ”

"I don't know." Yongning seems to have red circles under his eyes.

Rong'er was also a little distressed when she saw her daughter's appearance, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, don't go today, my father will take you to play." Rong'er hesitated, squatted down, took Yongning's hand, and said: "In the clouds and water, there is a scene of kites flying and fish jumping; Where the wind and rain are sudden, there are calm waves. You don't have to worry about anything, you know? ”

Yongning nodded his little head and snorted.

Rong'er turned around and walked out, Ye Zhao smiled and said: "Alas, I am not as calm as your mother, seeing my eldest daughter being wronged, my father is very distressed." ”

Yongning grinned, grabbed Ye Zhao's hand, and said, "Father, don't be unhappy, I'll tell you a story?" ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "Okay." ”

Picked up Yongning and was about to go to the Ming Huang throne, the guards hurriedly came to report that Muren arrived outside the palace, but Ye Zhao almost forgot to meet Muren.

Ye Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "Ask him to go to the East Warm Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace." ”

During the three years that the Imperial Family had been under house arrest in China, the majority of the people had come to terms with the absence of an emperor, especially the Daimyo, but Hosokawa had already begun construction of the country's first railroad with the investment of Chinese merchants.

It is said that the country has also been absorbed into the southeastern group of countries, and a guard battalion has been assigned to Lonnawan on Kalimantan Island, where the conditions are very difficult, and within a few days, there was a desertion incident, which made Ye Zhao very surprised, and then he knew that after the Meiji Restoration, the perverted bushido indoctrination of complete obedience and bravery to the emperor was completely different from the soldier's thinking when militarism was rampant. Although the spirit of bushido was also promoted in the Edo period, it was only a feudal daimyo of loyalty, no different from the Chinese belief in benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and wisdom.

For his own country, Ye Zhao didn't bother to think about it for a long time, even if the people in the Ezo Republic began to clamore to welcome back the emperor, Ye Zhao just laughed it off.

Dongnuan Pavilion, when Ye Zhao took Yongning's hand and entered the hall, Muren hurriedly stood up to greet him, Muren is nineteen years old this year, and he has become a very handsome young man.

"Your Majesty, I would like to forgive you for taking the liberty of visiting." Muren is polite and bows on one knee.

The more he is like this, the more Ye Zhao knows that in this person's heart, he is only afraid that hatred is deep, otherwise, simply kill him.

Holding Yongning's hand and sitting far away from him, there are guards by his side, so that he will not break out.

Tasting tea, Ye Zhao said: "It's almost the New Year, is it that the Zongren Mansion can't take care of you?" ”

Muren smiled gently: "The Great Emperor cares for Muren, why can't he be thoughtful?" Muren came this time to ask the emperor to marry Muren. ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "What, do you have a favorite object?" ”

Muren said: "Everything depends on the emperor. ”

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, and said, "But I was negligent, and I said that I would make a statement and ask the Zongren Mansion to help you pay attention to a woman with both ability and integrity." ”

Muren hurriedly stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you to the Great Emperor, Muren retired." ”

Ye Zhao snorted, looked at his back, and his eyes slowly narrowed.

…… Second, Ye Zhao made a special trip to Yanshan Prison in the northern suburbs of Beijing to visit Li Xiucheng, which can be regarded as a condition for inspecting this political prisoner prison.

Yanshan Prison is located at the eastern foot of Yanshan Mountain, with overlapping mountains to the west, and a plain to the north, east and south.

Li Xiucheng was tried by a military court for war crimes, indiscriminate killing, crimes against humanity, etc., and was sentenced to death by hanging, but because the emperor pardoned him for capital crimes, the final sentence was life imprisonment that could not be commuted.

In the special reception room, Ye Zhao saw Li Xiucheng, and when he saw his old appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Drinking tea, Ye Zhao said: "Although you are not free, this environment is still very good." ”

Li Xiucheng nodded slightly, indeed, it is a toilet, it is a flush toilet, and every meal is quite rich.

Looking at Ye Zhao, Li Xiucheng was surprised, it turned out that the regent who made the Taiping Army majestic back then, and the great emperor who is now the king of the world, is so young and beautiful, which is really unexpected.

Ye Zhao asked again: "Do you see that you are rich?" ”

Li Xiucheng lowered his head and said, "I've seen it once." After a pause, he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." The tone can't help but be a little jerky, how difficult is it to thank this powerful enemy?

Ye Zhao nodded, got up and walked out.

However, what Ye Zhao didn't expect was that it happened that Yueji led Li Xuefu to see Li Xiucheng today, in fact, the prisoners of Yanshan Prison only had the opportunity to visit the prison once in half a year, Yueji came to try her luck, but was stopped by the jailer outside the prison gate.

When Ye Zhao's motorcade drove out of the prison gate, he saw two lonely people, Ye Zhao thought about it, ordered the driver to stop, and the three motor vehicles slowly stopped.

Needless to say, Ye Zhao was sitting, it was a canvas caravan, and there was an electric caravan in the front and rear, a bit similar to the cargo trucks of later generations, and in the green canvas canopy behind them, there were guards with loaded guns.

Gasoline internal combustion engine development slowly, battery cars are developing rapidly, especially after the emergence of charging and discharging secondary battery technology, the demand for electric vehicles has greatly increased, in Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Jinling and other large cities, electric buses have become the first choice for the bus system, of course, the bottleneck of its cargo capacity is difficult to solve, and the economy can be relatively high, but at least for now, it is more in demand than diesel locomotives.

Ye Zhao beckoned to Yueji and Li Xuefu and said, "Get in the car, I'll take you back." ”

Li Xuefu is already a young man, and what about Yueji, in a blink of an eye, she is also twenty-seven or eight, right? Looking at the two of them, Ye Zhao felt like time had passed.

Thinking about Yueji, who has been waiting for Li Xiucheng and helping Li Xiucheng raise his son, this infatuation is really touching.

Now the lives of Yueji and others are no longer under surveillance, and it only takes every ten days for Yueji to go to the security department to sign in.

Yueji, who worked as a clerk in the Regent's Mansion for more than a year, later entered a trading house, and is now the general manager secretary of Dadong Trade in Beijing, wearing a red plum blossom button uniform, but more and more beautiful and charming.

Yueji hesitated for a moment, then got into the front seat of the car with Li Xuefu, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty." "I can't go to the back row and sit side by side with Ye Zhao.

After going through ups and downs over the years, seeing the changes in the country, and being a new type of life, deep down, Yueji also felt that Ye Zhao was the true son of heaven, and now, Ye Zhao did not execute Li Xiucheng, she was even more grateful, and the grievances and grievances in the past had long been relieved.

Ye Zhao bowed his head slightly and said, "You, it's not easy." ”

Yueji said in a low voice: "It's a pity, it will take another month to see Brother Li." He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I'm not pleading with you, I know that there are rules in the cell, and you can pardon Brother Li, which already shows your magnanimity." ”

Ye Zhao waved his hand, closed his eyes and recuperated, Yueji stopped talking, turned her head, and looked forward silently.

(To be continued)
