Chapter 20: Attacking the Warlords of the Republic of China (17)
Out of the gate of Nanjing, Ying Qi saw Cheng Yansheng standing there smoking, and he didn't know how long he had been waiting.
He has a stubble on his chin, and his whole person has a lot of vicissitudes.
Seeing Ying Qi, he took a sharp puff of cigarette, then put the cigarette in his mouth, walked up to her, carried the box in her hand, and said in a dumb voice, "Let's go." β
"We're not going to Chongqing, we're going to Shanghai."
Cheng Yansheng was stunned, took the cigarette from her lips and threw it on the ground, did not speak, and walked forward with her suitcase.
He owes her all his life, whether it's Chongqing or Shanghai, just follow her, he wants to be a little more free, in this month, he seems to be gone, but he still can't help but pay attention to her every move, and some things have become the most fatal habits.
Soon after they left Nanjing, the Nationalist Government announced the relocation of the capital to Chongqing.
On December 9, the Japanese army approached the city of Nanjing.
Beginning on 13 December, a bloody storm broke out in Nanjingβthe massacre.
Half of the railway from Nanjing to Shanghai had already been occupied by the Japanese army, and in addition to the land route, it could only be taken by water.
The waterway was relatively slow, the land route was changed to the waterway, and the waterway was changed to the land route, and the intentional stop-and-go along the Yingqi Road was already the spring of 1938 when we arrived in Shanghai.
When he arrived in Shanghai, he naturally had to conduct an examination, and Zhu Qi put all the things that could not be exposed in the ring, and stuffed some money before he successfully passed the inspection.
By the time he arrived in Shanghai, the Japanese army had lifted the blockade of the occupied areas of Shanghai.
After finding a hotel in the concession to live in, Ying Qi and Xiao Wei couldn't help laughing when they looked at each other's ugly makeup, if it weren't for that, the two of them would be too dangerous.
In the rural areas of the north, the anti-Japanese armed forces and the Japanese army have always been in a state of confrontation and tension, but the situation in Beiping and Shanghai is different. The new rulers need to maintain a semblance of prosperity, and the Japanese will not drive them away unless they choose to leave.
Cheng Yansheng didn't let Ying Qi go out, and went to find Ah Xin's grandmother by himself every day.
Ah Xin's mother told Ah Xin the name of his grandmother before she died, but there are too many people named Zhou Qin in this huge Shanghai, young and old, but none of Zhou Qin's daughters are married to Tianjin.
It's getting late, Cheng Yansheng still hasn't come back, Ying Qi can't help but be a little worried, nothing will happen, will there be a conflict with the Japanese?
"Xiao Wei, you go to the door and take a look."
Xiao Wei answered the call and trotted out, and after a while, she ran back in a panic.
"Miss is not good, Mr. Cheng has been arrested."
Ying Qi was suddenly startled: "What's the matter?" β
"Just now, a man came to the door, saying that Mr. Cheng had a conflict with the Japanese and asked you to take the money to ransom people."
Ying Qi pondered for a moment and said to Xiao Wei: "Xiao Wei, if Cheng Yansheng and I don't come back tomorrow morning, you can leave Shanghai with Xinhou and Ah Xin as soon as possible." β
"Where?" Xiao Wei was frightened, but still pretended to be calm and asked.
"Go to the port and take a boat to Chongqing, there is a Xinyun Hotel in Chongqing, you take them to stay there and wait for me." Maki Qi said calmly, "Remember, no matter how much money you have, even if it's a low-class cabin, you must get on a British ship." β
She was afraid that it would be difficult to leave with Xiaowei and the two children, so she simply let them go first, the British ship is relatively safe and belongs to a neutral area.
When I came out of the concession, I saw a car parked there.
Ju Qi was a little suspicious in his heart, but he was pushed into the car by a man.
The car stopped at the door of a western-style building, and Ying Qi was pushed out of the car, and there were a few Japanese guards with guns standing at the door of the western-style building.
After searching and entering the house, I saw a Japanese officer sitting on the sofa, looking at her with a smile, and saying something in his mouth, but because it was Japanese, she didn't quite understand.
Maki Qi glanced at his epaulettes, it was a big sake.
The interpreter on the side saw that she was indifferent and hurriedly said, "This is Sato Daisa." β
Maki Qi looked at Sato vigilantly and nodded to him: "I heard that my brother made a mistake, Dazuo forgive me." β
The translator hurriedly translated her words to Sato, who was smiling all the time, and after listening to the translator's words, he smiled and said something to the translator.
"Sato Daisa said, farewell to Lichun Garden, Miss Zhao is more beautiful."
Pear Spring Garden? She has only been to Lichun Garden once when she came to this plane, why don't she remember seeing this Sato, and in Zhao Heqing's memory, she has never been to Lichun Garden.
"Da Zuo is afraid that he recognized the wrong person, and Heqing doesn't remember seeing Da Zuo."
Sato listened to the translator's words and laughed.
"Sato Dasa said that he listened to the play in Lichun Garden that day, and did not reveal his identity, but only saw the young lady downstairs, and he was worried about it to this day, and he was afraid that the young lady would have any misunderstanding about the imperial army, so he used some means to invite the young lady over."
Misunderstand? What else could there be any misunderstanding? This is simply ridiculous, they attacked Lin Cheng in the name of searching, and Cheap Daddy died in battle, she and Yi Liangtian were on each side, they made her family ruined, and now they told her that it was a misunderstanding.
"I wonder if Dazuo has any misunderstanding of the word misunderstanding?" The corners of his lips rose slightly, and his voice revealed a bit of contempt and mockery.
The translator was stunned for a moment, and reprimanded in a low voice: "What nonsense!" β
Maki didn't know how the translator translated, but Sato listened to his words, not only did he not get angry, but smiled and made a gesture to sit down with her.
"You tell him that my brother has a reckless temper, maybe he bumped into Dazuo somewhere, and please don't take Dazuo to heart, can you let me see my brother?"
She didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this Sato's gourd, so she could only take one step at a time.
At this moment, a woman wearing a dark red cheongsam slowly walked down the stairs, with a black woolen shoulder draped over her shoulders.
"Don't come unharmed, Miss Zhao." The woman's voice is a little weird, not like the softness and delicate of a normal woman, but as hoarse and ugly as a seventy-year-old woman.
Ying Qixun followed the prestige, and when she saw the woman's face clearly, she couldn't help but chuckle twice, she should have guessed it a long time ago, her voice was hoarse, Li Chunyuan, the only one who could be right was Jiang Liannan.
Sure enough, it was a disaster that was left behind for a thousand years, and Ying Qi wanted to let her go, but she didn't expect her to resurrect.
She was still thinking about why Sato's people found her not long after arriving in Shanghai, and it would not be surprising if it was Jiang Liannan's credit.
"You're stalking me?"
Jiang Liannan slowly walked to Sato's side, gently wrapped his arm, and smiled amorously: "How can I have that ability, but you have already been noticed by me when you entered Shanghai." β
"Sato Dazuo has always admired you, Miss Zhao, you can be considered blessed." Jiang Liannan's voice was really hard to hear, but now that Ying Qi was in her hands, it was normal for her to be happy, "Liannan repays her grievances with virtue, Miss Zhao should be happy." β
