Zhang Keshi sneered and said, "Your leader promised her that as long as she succeeds in assassinating Lin Yuan, she will not be allowed to do this kind of thing again!"

The guard suddenly pulled out his pistol, pointed it at Zhang Keshi, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't get out of the way, I'll kill you!"

Seeing this, Ilya couldn't help but think to herself: "Can't you let this group of people succeed, it won't be good to infect them at that time, it's better to go out and stop them, and you can also curry favor with Zhang Keshi."

Thinking of this, Ilya pushed open the door and went in, shouting angrily: "Stop!"

When the guards saw that it was Ilya, they got up, put away their pistols, and stood upright. Ilya said angrily: "In the future, if anyone dares to fight the idea of Miss Cuixue again, they will be shot!" Get out of here! ”

The guards walked out of the room, and Ilya stepped forward and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry." Then he asked the maid to take Cuixue out of the room to change clothes.

Zhang Keshi said: "Let Cuixue stay here, it is inevitable that someone will beat her idea, why don't we go to Blagoveshchensk?" No one knew her there. ”

Ilya smiled: "Don't worry, let Cuixue stay with me, no one dares to touch her."

In order to appease Zhang Keshi and Cui Xue, Ilya had dinner with the two of them before going to the headquarters to discuss the counterattack with Belinsky.

The two people ordered a unit to go out first to reconnoiter the camp of the Chinese troops, and the two people waited until midnight, but did not wait for the reconnaissance troops to come back, and the two of them were very strange in their hearts, at this moment, they suddenly heard a dense cannon sound outside the city! Immediately afterwards, a herald came in and reported: "The Chinese have begun to attack the city!"

Ilya hurriedly asked: "Where did the Chinese attack the city from?" How many people are there? ”

The herald replied, "From the east gate!" It was so dark that it was impossible to see how many people could not see at all! ”

If it had been before, Belinsky would have packed up and left, but at this time he knew that Dao Lin Yuan was dead, so he concluded that this was only the most repulsive attack of the Chinese, and it should be easy to repel, so he led his troops to the city wall.

By the light of the explosion, Belinsky saw that the Chinese in the distance were hiding in the snow, just waiting for the wall to be blown open and rushing in.

At this moment, a cannonball exploded at the head of the city, and the fluttering pieces of paper scattered like snowflakes, Belinsky hurriedly said: "Quick, pick one up, and see what is written on it!"

Soon a soldier picked up a piece of paper, but in order not to expose the target, there was no searchlight on the top of the city, let alone a fire, so Belinsky could not read the words written on it at all.

Belinsky couldn't wait for the soldiers to light the fire, squatted on the ground, took out the lighter, lit it with a "pop", looked at the words on the paper by the faint light of the fire, and saw that it was written: Lin Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, told all the Russian troops in Aihui City that no one surrendered during the day today, and the commander was very angry, and he wanted to turn over and take Aihui, slaughter all of them, etc., but the commander has the virtue of a good life, so he is limited to twelve o'clock tonight, and those who do not surrender after this time will be killed!

Belinsky couldn't help but laugh after reading the contents of the paper, and the guards on the side asked: "Your Excellency the Governor, this is their letter of surrender, what are you laughing at?"

Belinsky said with a smile: "The Chinese are not playing this leaflet at the right time, if it still works during the day, but in the middle of the night, who is in the mood to read these leaflets!"

At this moment, someone suddenly came in a panic to report: "The people from the reconnaissance unit have returned!"

Belinsky said: "Come back, come back, what is there to be afraid of?"

The herald said: "After these people come back, they are spreading the word everywhere: Lin Yuan is not dead!"

Belinsky said: "Impossible! Ilya has already determined, Lin Yuan is clearly dead! ”

The herald said, "Impossible, the scout had already said it when he came back, they saw Lin Yuan with their own eyes!"

Belinsky was shocked in his heart and thought, "It's bad, I've fallen for Lin Yuan's tricks again!" How can you trust Ilya? Can he beat Lin Yuan on his own? Hurry up and escape back to Blagoveshchensk! ”

Belinsky thought of this, and regardless of what others thought of him, he came down from the city with his cronies, and fled from the city with gold and silver.

The news that Lin Yuan was not dead was a fatal blow to the hearts of the army, because it made the Russian soldiers lose trust in Ilya, and they began to believe the news of Baroyev's death, plus the city defense troops saw that the governor had fled, and they no longer resisted and surrendered.

By the time Ilya learned the news, the situation was out of control, and he immediately ordered the captain of the guard to escort Zhang Keshi and Cui Xue to Blagoveshchensk.

The captain of the guard persuaded: "What are we going to do with them, just kill them and save more trouble!"

Ilya said: "What do you know! Do you think they came back just to spread false news to us? ”

The captain of the guard said, "Is there any other possibility?"

Ilya said: "Why can't fake news come back? If these two people are allowed to pass it on, they will definitely die when the truth is revealed! Spread a fake news, why sacrifice two people! ”

After hearing this, the captain of the guard immediately led people to break into Zhang Keshi and Cuixue's house, tied the two of them strongly, and then threw them into the carriage.

On the way, Cui Xue was so frightened that she trembled, she pressed tightly to Zhang Keshi's chest, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Zhang, I'm so scared, what's wrong?"

Zhang Keshi said with a smile: "It must be that the matter has been exposed, they know the news that Lin Shuai is not dead, and they want to arrest us for interrogation."

When Cui Xue heard these words, she trembled even more, and she said, "I'm afraid ......"

Zhang Keshi smiled: "Are you afraid that they will beat you?" Don't worry, you just say that our real purpose is to go to White Beach to gather intelligence, and we are going to attack there, and they will not embarrass you. ”

Cui Xue shook her head lightly and said, "I'm not afraid that they will beat me, I'm afraid that I can't help it and will tell the truth about it......"

"Really, when I was interrogated by Ilya, I couldn't remember anything, I only had the real situation in my head, and I was afraid that I would tell the real situation when the time came......"

Zhang Keshi smiled: "Don't think about these things, you will have nothing to do if you sleep."

Cui Xue nodded, and said after a while: "Brother Zhang, I regret coming here, I am not the material to do big things at all, I still obediently be my little ant."

Zhang Keshi smiled: "Haven't you heard a sentence? Thousands of miles of embankment, destroyed in an anthill, small ants can also do big things. ”

Cuixue smiled reluctantly when she heard this, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Brother Zhang, you are very good to me, I think I am going to die at the hands of the Russians, I have something in my heart to say to you, can you listen?"

Zhang Keshi smiled: "Say it."

Cuixue's face flushed, and said: "When I was in the smoke house, I was very envious of those girls from good families, they could get married, give birth to dolls, and be mothers, but I couldn't, and then I met Lin Shuai in the smoke house, and I often dreamed that he ransomed me out of the house, and then I met Lin Shuai on the bridge, and I helped him again, do you say he is very good?"

Zhang Keshi was already incoherent when he heard Cui Xue's words, and when he spoke, he was shy and timid, so he guessed what she meant, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, when we go back, I will tell him what you think."

Unexpectedly, Cui Xue shook her head desperately when she heard this, and said, "Don't! Don't say it! ”
