Chapter 149: The Solar Society
Every day, the newspapers overwhelmingly reported the war between Li and Yin's two armies, and after Li Chengjing rushed to Tongyang Pass, he personally commanded the battle, which lasted more than half a month, and finally smashed Wenqiong, so far, half of the territory of Yin's army fell into the hands of Li Jiajun.
Li Chengjing became famous in the first war and became famous at home and abroad, not only deterring other warlord forces, but also those Chinese and foreign politicians who were not optimistic about her and thought that she was difficult to be a female in the world, now they are all shocked, and they have come to speculate about the war situation again: "If Yin Jun can't get back into the war, it will always be at a disadvantage in the future, and it will eventually fall into the hands of Li Chengjing." ”
After more than ten days of waiting, Duan Shaoling finally waited for the news of Changling. According to the news brought back, the Sun Society is a secret non-governmental organization, and Song Jiujue is currently making every effort to crack down on non-governmental organizations, in line with the principle of preferring to kill mistakes rather than letting them go, so their actions are very secretive and careful, and Changling's brothers took time to finally find out that a 'Weimin Newspaper Office' on Xifu Road was likely to be their secret contact point.
Finally, there is possible news about Xue Qingning, it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and Duan Shaoling has to go. Two days later, he said goodbye to everyone and went to Changling alone. For his safety, Chen Youwei gave him the address of the Changling branch hall, and the brothers there would do their best to help him if needed.
Duan Shaoling thanked him and left.
As soon as you enter Changling, people come and go on the street, and the atmosphere is particularly strange. Combined with Chen Youwei's words, Changling is cracking down on the 'chaotic party,' so that pedestrians are cautious in their words and deeds, for fear of saying the wrong sentence and suffering from unwarranted disasters, so there will be such an unusual atmosphere.
Duan Shaoling walked for a while, and from time to time he saw soldiers patrolling, his eyes constantly examining the pedestrians coming and going. Inevitably causing unnecessary complications, Duan Shaoling walked to the side, avoiding the eyes of the soldiers, and walked to Xifu Road.
When I saw the newspaper as I wished, I walked in and saw an endless stream of people buying and reading newspapers, and the most discussed thing was the war in Central and South China. It's daytime, and there's nothing unusual about it anymore, Duan Shaoling bought a newspaper and left, thinking about finding a hotel nearby to stay in, and then inquiring after the curfew at night.
There happened to be a three-story hotel in front of the left side of the newspaper office, and there were windows on the second and third floors facing the street.
The wind in Changling was so tight, Duan Shaoling didn't want to go out, so he rested in the hotel. It wasn't until after the 9 o'clock curfew that I sat on the windowsill and watched the movement of the newspaper after it closed.
Sitting there, I couldn't help but think of Xue Qingning, the reunion of the two in Ningzhou, the meeting in the church, and the scene of the two snuggling up outside the city. Although he was seriously injured at that time, after he confessed, he was in a daze, as if he saw the flush on Xue Qingning's face, as well as the tenderness flashing in her eyes, which made him firm that he must find her.
After more than two hours of tossing and turning, there was no movement in front of the newspaper office except for the rotation of the moon shadow. Just when he thought it would be fruitless tonight, three men walked in this direction, and finally stopped at the door of the newspaper office.
One of them knocked on the door, and in a few moments someone opened the door for them, but there was no light in the room, only a candle in the hand of the person who opened the door. By candlelight and moonlight, Duan Shaoling recognized the person who opened the door as the owner of the newspaper.
The three of them flashed into the house, and the boss looked left and right to make sure that no one was following him before following in.
If you want to know what they said, you can only be a gentleman on the beam once. Duan Shaoling changed his clothes and went out, but at this moment, there was no figure on the street, not even a shadow of a crow. When he came to the newspaper office, there were still two rooms left from the newspaper, he flipped over the wall, went over the roof, calculated the distance, and walked lightly along the ridge, with his skill at this time, it was enough to make not much noise, even if the people below were awake, it was difficult to notice.
Walking to the roof of the newspaper office, he gently lifted a tile, and the room was pitch black, without the slightest figure or sound. After taking a few more steps, I lifted the tiles again and saw the candle flame, which reflected several figures on the wall. Duan Shaoling lifted another piece of tile, leaned over and held his breath, listening intently to the conversation inside.
Their conversation was very quiet, and Duan Shaoling gathered his central gods, and he only heard the general content: "The Sun Society" threatened Song Jiujue's rule, so Song Jiujue tried every means to exterminate them.
In order to prevent the list from leaking and endangering the safety of the organization, they have a total of 11 people, and they will evacuate Changling at 8 o'clock tomorrow night, go to a Jiahe village in the southwest, and hand over the list to ......
Mr. Xue? What they are talking about is that Mr. Xue must be Xue Qingning's father.
"Whew", the candle flame went out, and the next thing I heard was the footsteps of their departure. When they were all far away, Duan Shaoling came down and went back to think about how to go to Jiahe Village with them tomorrow.
The next day, at seven o'clock in the evening, Duan Shaoling checked out of the city and waited for them on the road to the southwest in advance. He planned to intercept halfway and truthfully confess the purpose of his trip to them, for Xue Qingning's sake, I believe they would not embarrass themselves.
It's dark, but tonight's moonlight is bright. After a while, the light of a car lamp in the distance came over, from far to near, and when Duan Shaoling was about to go out to intercept, he heard a 'boom' gunshot.
Two cars rushed out of a fork in the road next to them to block their way, and it was the soldiers, who gave the order to kill. Eleven people got out of the car one after another to meet the enemy, and in the midst of the crisis, hearing that they let a big brother Qin go first, that big brother Qin naturally would not escape alone. Moreover, the number of soldiers was more than twice as large as theirs, and under their siege, even if he wanted to, it would not be so easy.
After a moment of fierce fighting, three of the eleven people fell, and some of them were also wounded by guns, Duan Shaoling took out his pistol again to help them get out of trouble, although it was dark night, the marksmanship was not bad at all.
They thought they were unlucky, but they didn't expect that someone would help in the dark night, and they were very skilled and their marksmanship was even more accurate. One by one, the soldiers fell, and in the end less than ten were wounded and fled, but only three of the eleven remained.
The enemy had retreated, and that Brother Qin came over to thank Duan Shaoling, and it was only at this moment that he saw clearly that the person who helped them repel the strong enemy was actually a young man in his early twenties, "Little brother, thank you for your help just now, otherwise we may all be spared." ”
Duan Shaoling told the truth: "My name is Duan Shaoling, and I am a friend of Qingning. I'm waiting here just to go to Jiahe Village with you to see Qingning and Mr. Xue. ”
The three of them were surprised, but since he was able to help, he was by no means deceiving them, "I didn't expect you to be Qingning's friend, how did you meet?" ”
"It's not a good place to stay for long, so let's get out of here first."
The three of them were all injured a little, and Duan Shaoling took the initiative to take on the responsibility of the driver and let them rest for a while. According to Brother Qin's instructions, he drove for three hours to reach his destination.
After getting out of the car, they took Duan Shaoling into an alley, turned left at the end, passed through another alley, and finally took him into a civilian courtyard.
One person heard a voice outside and walked out of the house, and Brother Qin shouted, "Zhao Village Committee." ”
"Why are you here now? Come in, Mr. Xue has been waiting for a long time. ”
Duan Shaoling followed them into the house, his heart pounding. When I walked into the room, I saw an elderly man in a blue robe sitting on a chair, elegant and handsome, like a teacher.
As soon as Brother Qin entered the house, he told Mr. Xue what happened tonight, and they all felt sorry for the dead comrades after hearing it.
"If it weren't for this Duan brother, we would be more than lucky tonight."
"Brother Duan, this Mr. Xue Xingguo is Qingning's father."
Duan Shaoling took two steps and introduced himself: "Hello Mr. Xue, my name is Duan Shaoling, and I am good friends with Qingning." ”
Mr. Xue stood up excitedly when he heard his name, "You are the righteous man in Qingning's mouth, thanks to you in Ningzhou and Guicheng Church, Qingning was able to retreat, and tonight you saved Brother Qin and them, come, please sit down first." ”
Duan Shaoling sat down, very happy that Xue Qingning could mention him in front of her father.
Brother Qin handed over all the important things to Mr. Xue, and the Zhao Village Committee took the three of them down to rest first, and there were only two of them left in the house.
"Qingning told me everything about you, it's rare, if half of the young people in the country have such an awareness as you, why worry about the instability of the family and the country?"
"Mr. Xue has won the award, I won't tell you, I listened to Qingning explain to me the purpose and concept of your establishment of the Sun Society, and I admire it." Speaking of this, he stood up, clenched his fists and said, "I hope to officially hear your concept of saving the country during this visit." ”
Mr. Xue held his hand with relief, and at some point, Xue Qingning was already standing at the door.
"Daddy."
"You haven't rested yet, have you?"
"I heard the voice, and I just got up and saw Brother Qin and them." smiled at Duan Shaoling, "This time it's thanks to you again." ”
"It's getting late, Qingning, you came just in time, you take Brother Duan to the guest room to rest first."
The two retreated, and finally saw the person they were thinking about, but they didn't know what to say, or Xue Qingning broke the deadlock first, "Why did you come to Changling?" ”
Duan Shaoling took a deep breath and told him what had happened since they separated.
Xue Qingning felt a little guilty and a little moved, he had to go through so many twists and turns in order to find himself. Took him to a guest room on the second floor, "You have a good rest, I'll go first." ”
"Qingning."
"Do you need anything else?"
"Am I a little presumptuous to come to you without permission?"
"No, you saved us three or four times, and it's too late for us to thank you."
"Is it just because of this? Are you a little happy to see me? ”
Xue Qingning was stunned, his face was a little red, and he was shy and difficult to answer.
Duan Shaoling flashed a glimmer of hope, and said with a smile on his face: "You should also rest early." ”
Xue Qingning had just walked to the door, and suddenly turned around, "Yes." ”
When Duan Shaoling looked at the door again, her shadow had gone.
