Forty-three (3)
For a moment, the flow of frightened people who fled rushed up from the gangplank, as if even the deck was shaking, and the sound of cannon fire at the other end was like a burst, and it was deafening in the ears.
At this time, there was chaos on the deck, because Gu Jun suddenly called, so that the ship had to leave the port as soon as possible, so the people waiting for the ticket check were in a hurry, and they didn't care about the order, countless people crowded to this side, more and more people flowed, the first mate on the ship loudly maintained order in Spanish, and sent a lot of crew to block the crowd.
Shen Qiangrose only felt that her body was wrapped and retreated backwards, she was pregnant, how could she stand such a thing, she barely supported her body, and it was difficult to even breathe, and the few people who took her off the boat were obviously a little helpless, and pushed away the blocked flow of people, but the crowd was too crowded, as if she was moving against the wind, and every time she took a step, she would be taken to the back by force.
Countless people stood on the deck and looked in the direction of the artillery fire, and saw that the fire was looming, and the cannon fire was in the sky, as if it was very fierce, and the black smoke almost darkened half of the sky, and the guns and cannons roared, as if they did not stop for a moment, one after another.
Because of the suddenness of the war, the garrison overseers of Fuling sent guards to the docks, on the one hand, to cooperate with the foreign consuls to evacuate the expatriates, and on the other hand, to evacuate the crowd, because the people who wanted to flee were rich and powerful, most of them had special passes, so they dredged for a while, and the people on the deck were still very crowded.
The steamer on this side was about to leave, but Shen Qiangrose and the others had not yet gone down, because the two people were holding her tightly, she had no chance to ask for help, seeing the guards passing by her, but she did not dare to act rashly. She was already squeezed into a state of strength at this moment, surrounded by chaotic and noisy human voices, which made the originally crowded space more and more cramped, making her even breathe faster, and her voice was so low that people couldn't really hear it, "Don't squeeze anymore......"
There are also ships from various countries coming over, due to the large number of people, the whole dock is densely populated, noisy and cannonball, one after another, the guards are already evacuating the crowd according to the ticket, there is a commotion on the deck, Shen Qiangrose uses the remaining strength to protect her lower abdomen, only to feel that her legs are weak, and she can't move anymore.
Those people followed the flow of people who got off the boat, dragging her hard, she bit her lip fiercely, trying her best to protect her stomach, fortunately, the flow of people was much sparse at this moment, and the guards were guarding at both ends, so the crowd was quite orderly when she went down.
She had no strength at all, and when she left the port, she heard the sound of the steamer whistle behind her, and after a long whistle, her eyes went black and she lost consciousness.
In a half-dream, she could hear a low voice, but it was far away, so she couldn't hear it really, vaguely as if someone had an argument outside, and the voice was high and low. She was finally woken up, opened her eyes and saw that it was dark around her, and subconsciously stroked her lower abdomen to make sure that the fetus in her womb was safe and sound, so she tiptoed out of bed, put on her slippers and walked in the direction of the human voice.
The voice of the voice sounded in the hall outside the door, and it sounded a little familiar, "Although the Gu army has hit Fuling now, the nearby Soviet army will soon come to reinforce it, I advise you to leave now, no one can leave if it is a moment later." After a pause, he said, "But you can't take her away." ”
Shen Qiangrose had already recognized that the person who spoke was Qiao Yunhua, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised in her heart, but she didn't have time to think about how he was here, but she heard the meaning from his words, as if she was here to save herself.
Another voice from outside also sounded, "Poetry is in Qi Shao's hands, so I can only send someone to invite Miss Shen over, but I promise you that during this period, Miss Shen will be unharmed." ”
Shen Qiangrose only felt that this voice was familiar, and after thinking for a while, she remembered that this person was Chen Muyang. If you think about it carefully, you can straighten out the ins and outs of the matter. Qiao Yunhua's voice came from the other end, "Mr. Chen is really worried, Miss Gu is the pearl of Gu Shuai's palm, even if it is Su Huiyi, she will not move her easily, especially now that the war between the two sides is scorching, and they are still in peace talks on the left line of Jiangzuo, at this time, Su Huiyi will only protect Miss Gu's safety, and will not act rashly." In my opinion, Miss Gu will be sent back to the north early tomorrow morning at the latest. ”
Chen Muyang said after a moment: "In order to make sure that it is just in case, I can only release Miss Shen after Qi Shao has released the poetry." He paused, "Honestly, this time it was my own actions. But don't worry, Gu Shuai doesn't know that Miss Shen is now in my hands, and Jiang Zuo's peace negotiation conditions are still valid for Nandi. ”
Qiao Yunhua seemed to laugh and said, "Mr. Chen, to tell you the truth, I have always been hostile to the Su family and the Nandi government, so to a certain extent, you and I are allies, the difference is that Gu Shuai wants the rivers and mountains of the Nandi, and what I want is the lives of the Su family." ”
He said it normally, but in Shen Qiangrose's ears, there was a chill to the bone, and at this moment, he took a step back as if he was standing unsteadily, only to feel that the cold air spread from the soles of his feet, and even his back overflowed with cold sweat. She knew the grievances between Qiao Yunhua and the Su family, and she also understood that this deep-rooted hatred was difficult to let go.
At this time, there was a lot of panic in my heart, thinking about Qiao Yunhua's purpose this time, I am afraid it was not as simple as saving her. was thinking about it wildly, so I heard him say: "Now that Shen Qiangrose is in your hands, if you let Su Huiyi know, he will definitely come over, you might as well let me make a ......."
Shen Qiangrose's body was stunned, and she gasped in disbelief, thinking that she was now deeply trapped in it, if Qiao Yunhua lured Su Huiyi over, I am afraid the consequences would be unimaginable, she couldn't help but think of Su Huiyi's questioning at that time, there was only one one between him and Qiao Yunhua, who would she choose?
A deep uneasiness invaded, and she only felt that her legs were weak, and she held on to the wall hard, gasping for breath rapidly. At this moment, he just wanted to rush out immediately, but he didn't know what to do to stop Qiao Yunhua. My mind was jumbled, and many thoughts flashed, but I still didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, the two people outside did not hear the movement, but continued to talk, Chen Muyang's voice sounded a little surprised, "Mr. Qiao Shicai also asked us to leave immediately, why did you suddenly change your mind and persuade me to cooperate with you?" ”
Qiao Yunhua didn't answer immediately, but slowed down before saying, "Didn't Gu Shuai always want Su Huiyi's life?" It's the perfect time. ”
Shen Qiang Rose clenched her palms tightly and persuaded herself to calm down, especially at such a time, she must not startle the snake and act rashly. She didn't listen carefully to what the next two people said, but just stood in place for a long time, thinking carefully about countermeasures, until she heard footsteps, and then she tiptoed back to the bed to lie down.
Fortunately, no one pushed the door in, she lay on the bed, thinking about ways to do it, her mind was a mess, and she couldn't sort out her thoughts. It wasn't until midnight that the sound of artillery fire outside became louder and louder, shaking the small building faintly, and even the crystal lamp above his head was shaking.
There was a chaotic sound of people and footsteps outside, and someone pushed the door in, "Change her clothes." Shen Qiangrose heard that this was Qiao Yunhua's voice, and she didn't know what his idea was at this time, so she had to pretend to be asleep and let the maids change her clothes. Within a few moments, she felt someone pick her up and walk out.
She only felt that her heart was beating fast, as if it was about to jump out of her chest, until the man put her in the car, she opened her eyes slightly, glanced quickly, and caught a glimpse of Qiao Yunhua getting into the car and sitting next to her. The car started quickly, and there was silence in the car, but outside the window there was a burst of thunder, as if a heavy rain was falling in an instant.
I don't know what road I'm taking, the car was bumpy all the way, and it was very quiet all around, but I suddenly heard Qiao Yunhua say, "Since you're awake, don't pretend anymore." ”
His voice implied a smile and banter, which made Shen Qiangrose upset for no reason, so she opened her eyes and looked at him, and asked bluntly, "Young Master Qiao, what is this calculation again?" Where are you going to take me? ”
Qiao Yunhua's face was covered by the shadow of the night, vaguely revealing a somewhat unpredictable expression, and said coldly: "You don't care about this." ”
Shen Qiangrose was completely enraged by his perfunctory answer, "It turns out that I only thought you still had a little bit of blood, but now it seems that you are just a complete villain!" ”
Qiao Yunhua smiled indifferently, "I've always been a villain, but you are wrong!" He glanced at the driver as if he didn't look forward, and then said lightly: "If you want to live, just cooperate with me obediently." ”
Shen Qiangrose snorted mockingly, her breathing was a little short due to too much emotion, "I won't let you succeed." ”
Qiao Yunhua looked at her quietly, there were no lights in the car, and it was as black as splashing ink outside the window, only the two lights in front of her were shining with a little hazy light, he couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but those eyes were shining in the dark night.
He paused before saying, "Really?" Then we'll see. As soon as the words fell, she had already slapped him with her hand, and said in a voice of extreme disappointment and determination: "I'd rather die now than be your bargaining chip!" ”
As she spoke, she was about to reach out to open the door, Qiao Yunhua grabbed her hand, and calmly ordered the driver to lock the door, breathing with each other in the dark night, his hands grabbed her shoulders, she panicked and wanted to break free, but his strength was too great, so that she couldn't move.
struggled hard, and even more unscrupulous, "You traitor lackey, shameless scum!" Heaven is clear, you will definitely have retribution. ”
She only felt that her heart was burning badly, as if it was boiling oil on a blazing fire, surging and hot. But she has no reason, especially in this situation where the future is unknown, almost all her mind is about Su Huiyi's safety, she raised her eyes to look at him, a faint light from the window fell on his face, he was expressionless, and even listening to her insults and abuses, he didn't even have a complicated look.
Just a calm, even cruel, indifferent look. His hands grabbed her shoulders hard, and his voice was faint, "Listen, whether you are being used as a bargaining chip or blackmailing each other, don't think about suicide, it's too stupid and ridiculous!" I'm telling you, even if you die right now, nothing will change, you know? ”
His voice finally fluctuated slightly, but quickly regained his calm, "I'll send you to the docks, you don't care about the affairs here, you can't take care of it." ”
