"Mr. Lu!"

"Mr. Lu!"

In a remote courtyard in the shantytown of Jinshan Port Wharf, when Lu Xiping walked through the courtyard and pushed the door into one of the rooms, seven or eight men and women in different clothes sitting around a rough wooden round table in the room all stood up with excited expressions.

Among these people, there are ragged dock workers, there are submissive hawkers, and there are young men and women who are relatively neatly dressed, gathered together, and when they saw Lu Xiping one by one, their eyes were all hot.

Lu Xiping smiled, and with the same sincere expression, he stepped forward to shake hands with everyone one by one.

One of the women dressed in a brightly dressed cheongsam looked Lu Xiping up and down with a smile, stretched out her jade lotus-like arm, and held Lu Xiping's rough palm with a slender jade hand, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Lu, it is really a blessing to be able to meet you. I was fortunate enough to have read the "Song of Return" written by you, which is deafening and deafening, and it is truly a famous story through the ages. ”

"Overrated, overrated!" Lu Xiping smiled at the woman and nodded.

"Yes, Mr. Lu's "Song of Return" is really well written, and it goes to our hearts. After reading your "Song of Return", I felt that this was the book I wanted to read. ”

Next to the cheongsam woman, a young man in student attire looked at Lu Xiping eagerly, his eyes were full of admiration, and he began to read as he spoke.

"The earth has sunk for hundreds of years, and the smoke is billowing and blood is flowing. Sadly counting the current events, who is the same kind of shame and hatred......"

Another man dressed as a hawker banged on the table with one hand and sang along with his voice.

“…… I am afraid of him, the gun is like a forest, and the cannon is like rain; I am afraid of him, the general is wide, and the soldiers are strong; Afraid of him, autocracy, layers of bondage; I'm afraid of him, the sky is full of nets, and he is open everywhere. The sleeping lion woke up from a dream and roared to the sky; The beasts are frightened, the dragons and snakes go, and the charms escape from the ......"

Several lyrics were generous and intense, and the atmosphere in the whole room was instantly high.

After everyone took their seats one by one, the cheongsam woman sat down next to Lu Xiping, and a pair of bright eyes never left Lu Xiping.

Occasionally, other people noticed the cheongsam woman's eyes, and everyone just smiled at the corners of their mouths.

Mr. Lu's charm is too great, don't say that she is such a young woman, even if they are these people, who is not infected by Lu Xiping's spirit.

For fifteen years, he wrote books and lectures, introduced the countries of the world, established education to enlighten wisdom, secretly formed societies to establish the party, and was the first person to truly stand on the front line against the empire.

"Mr. Lu, this is Miss Ye, who funded us with 50,000 taels of silver this time, as well as two boatloads of cotton clothes and firearms, and is a new member of our Revival Association."

After taking a seat, next to Lu Xiping, a middle-aged man dressed decently like a businessman introduced the cheongsam woman to Lu Xiping.

In this meeting, many of the revival congregation, with the exception of a few core members, were meeting for the first time. After everyone saw Lu Xiping, they greeted each other and sang "Song of Return", but they didn't have time to introduce it under the surging heart.

After hearing the middle-aged man introduce the cheongsam woman in front of him, Lu Xiping was shocked, 50,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, and the largest donation that the Revival Society has received so far is less than half of this amount, not to mention that there are cotton clothes and firearms, which are all in short supply.

However, the middle-aged man dressed as a businessman is a core member of the Revival Association, and he has always been responsible for the internal funding of the Association, and Lu Xiping has completely trusted him.

stood up at the moment, bowed sincerely to the cheongsam woman, and thanked: "Miss Ye sent charcoal in the snow, Lu and all my colleagues will not dare to forget." ”

The cheongsam woman surnamed Ye also stood up, put her hands on her lower abdomen, bowed slightly sideways, and said softly: "Although I am a woman, I will also be a member of the Revival Association in the future, and I should contribute my modest efforts." ”

The cheongsam woman surnamed Ye was full of laughter, and her words fell, which immediately attracted everyone's applause.

Lu Xiping turned to everyone present, bowed down, and said earnestly: "Lu is worthy of everyone's support, and it is my honor to be able to see you in a foreign land thousands of miles away today. May we all work together to discuss the great plan. ”

"Mr. Lu is a role model for my generation, and we voluntarily follow him."

"Mr. has awakened the wisdom of the people for more than ten years, even the children in the market know the name of Mr., and it is an honor for me to meet Mr."

"Mr. Lu, I'm willing to listen to you."

……

Lu Xiping's words fell, and everyone present suddenly shouted enthusiastically again.

Seeing that there seemed to be a commotion in the room again, a well-dressed middle-aged man sitting at the bottom of Lu Xiping hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hand and pressed it in the air,

"Let's be quiet for a while, don't say anything else, this time we are rarely together, Mr. Lu is here, we should have a meeting immediately to start the next step of deployment."

"Yes, let's have a meeting first!"

The people who were in high spirits nodded one after another, their emotions converged, and they quieted down.

The young man who had just taken the lead in reciting the opening poem of the "Song of Return" stood up again after everyone had sat down, and after a circle, he said with a solemn expression:

"Then let me start by saying that we have opened up the upper and lower joints in Suicheng, and there have been many aspiring young people in Nanyue Province who have responded in the academy and the army. By the time I came to Jinshan Port, there were more than 100,000 people, and these 100,000 young people had read Mr. Lu's books, and they were willing to follow Mr. Lu's banner and could be mobilized at any time. ”

Speaking of the back, the young man's eyes had completely fallen on Lu Xiping, and he said eagerly, "Now, let's wait for Mr. Lu to go back to preside over the overall situation and participate in the feat together." ”

"No way!"

As soon as the young man's words fell, he stood up to a middle-aged man dressed as a ragged laborer who was seated, and refuted: "Nanyue Province is not strong in the empire, but the governor of Nanyue is from a martial arts background, and when he is a martial artist, the spears and artillery we transported from the West and the Federation are useful for ordinary soldiers, but they are of little significance to him and the pro-army under him.

Even if we have 100,000 people, we still don't have the means to resist the governor of Nanyue, and it is too dangerous for Mr. Lu to return to China at this time! ”

"100,000 aspiring young people, plus forty percent of the troops in Nanyue Province are already in our hands, what can the governor do?" Young people are equally arguing.

"Decapitation alone, what to block...... What about the millions of people in Guangling at the beginning, it's not ......"

"Enough!"

During the dispute between the two, the middle-aged businessman dressed as Lu Xiping's head got up again and scolded the two arguing, "Now I'm here to talk about work, not to let you quarrel!" ”

"Don't get excited, everyone!"

Lu Xiping then stood up, with a solemn look on his face, and said seriously: "I've been thinking a lot lately, I got acquainted with a little brother in the past two days, and he once told me that he must have his own armed forces. It is necessary to go deep into the people at the bottom and mobilize them. Now that we have 100,000 aspiring young people in the Empire, then I will definitely return to China. ”

"But sir......" The laborer who had just spoken out against spoke spoke again, but was interrupted by Lu Xiping waving his hand.

"Fifth Brother Hong, you don't have to persuade me anymore, I, Lu Xiping, am not the kind of person who sees my colleagues face the sword soldiers, but I shrink overseas. This time I returned to China, just to use some of the ideas I have recently thought of for reorganization, and we ......"

Bang!

Everyone in the room was attracted by what Lu Xiping said, and suddenly a loud bang sounded outside.

A stumbling figure rushed in from outside the door, shouting in a panic, "Oh no, it's out of the water!" ”

"What?!" Lu Xiping and everyone present were shocked.

Someone hurriedly got up and opened the window to look outside, only to see the shanty town in the distance, the flames were soaring, and it seemed that many wooden houses were burning.

"Yes, it's a southwest wind tonight."

Hong Wu, a ragged laborer, looked at the firelight, and his face changed drastically.

The wooden houses in the shantytown of Jinshan Port are continuous, and it is sunny during this time, and the fire borrows the wind, looking at the current situation, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will burn here.

"Mr. Lu, let's go! I'm afraid this fire is going to burn......"

Hong Wu saw that the flames in the distance were getting bigger and bigger, and seeing that they were about to burn here, he was afraid that there would be danger, so he hurriedly turned around and shouted at Lu Xiping.

But before the words fell, the words behind him were stuck in his throat.

"Let's go? Where do you want to go? ”
