433. Defeated

Two years later

Jinling City in November is the most chaotic time, no one thought that in just two years, the prosperous Jinling would fall in such a short period of time, the streets are full of panicked and fleeing vendors, behind the vendors are soldiers on horseback chasing after them.

Once the most prosperous business district, it is now full of crying and begging for mercy.

Someone on the side of the road desperately pulled his stall, and the one in front of some cold soldiers cried and begged for mercy: "Master, this is the fourth time I've set up a stall, and I really don't have anything to take out." ”

The young officer on horseback looked indifferently, he played with the whip in his hand and said with a smile: "What? The army is fighting desperately for you on the front line, but you people can't even get some vegetables, fruits and food? ”

The officer ignored the merchant's cries, and commanded his subordinates: "Take them all away!" Now is a critical time for the front line, and we must not run out of military rations! ”

The soldiers, armed with spears and wearing military uniforms, answered in unison: "Yes!" ”

He rushed over to rob the vendor's stall, and the vendor wanted to protect the things in his stall, but the strength of one person could not be as good as those who were soldiers, and the things he wanted to protect could not be protected at all, and the things on his stall were quickly snatched away.

After the looting, the soldiers did not stay long, and continued to search and loot at the next stall.

There was a lot of chaos on the streets, and after everything was robbed, the vendors sat on the ground and cried loudly.

The pedestrians passing by the street seemed to be accustomed to such situations, and everyone looked nervous, wrapped themselves tightly in their coats, and walked quickly.

I'm afraid that things will mess with me.

Two years ago, the shops in the business district were very dilapidated, and at a glance, almost all the shops were closed, and no one was running the business.

The whole Jinling is like a derailed train, losing the track it should normally have.

The streets were in chaos, but Paramount not far away was surprisingly lively, with a bright scene of wine and wine, dignitaries and nobles coming in and out, and the heart-rending cries of the street vendors, there was an inexplicable irony.

The sky was particularly cloudy, and I don't know when it started to drizzle and blew a strong wind.

As soon as the autumn wind blew, the newspaper swept under the feet of pedestrians, and many pedestrians did not bother to look down, and stepped directly on the newspaper without paying any attention, leaving a string of black footprints.

Unlike the pedestrians who hurried down the street, there was a pair of jade hands wearing black lace gloves, and instead picked up the newspaper at his feet.

The owner of the hands put the newspaper under his eyes and looked at it carefully, and she was accompanied by a woman dressed like her, who seemed to be her friend and her attendant.

Because in the next second, the woman next to her whispered to her: "Miss, it's about to rain, let's find a hotel to rest quickly." ”

The woman stared at the news of the war in the newspaper for a long time, then she hummed, quickly put the newspaper in her hand, and continued to leave with the people around her.

After the two finally found a hotel, she went to the front with the people around her to open a room, and the waiter at the front desk handled all their formalities almost, then handed the relevant documents to the two of them with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Miss Cather, this is your documents, please take it, your room number is 601, please go to the left, there is an elevator to take there." ”

The woman with the black lace gloves smiled kindly at the waiter, and without saying anything, she took the ID from her hand, and was about to walk towards the elevator, when the waiter suddenly said behind them: "Miss Cather, please wait!" ”

When the two heard the waiter's call, they immediately stopped and looked back.

The waiter said: "Because you are Chinese and have just returned to China, you may not know much about the situation inside, I want to remind you that now is the time of war, please try to go out as little as possible to reduce some unnecessary trouble for yourself." ”

The woman who was next to Ms. Cather asked, "We have indeed just returned to China, and we don't know what is going on here, can you please tell us who is fighting with whom now?" ”

The waiter looked around the hall, and saw that there was no one, so she said: "It's the Yin family army, fighting with the Huo family army, a year ago the Yin family launched a military coup d'Γ©tat and usurped the throne, occupying Shengzhou outside Jinling, and now it is the most fierce time of the war, the Huo family army in the city, due to the shortage of front-line military food resources, has been raised everywhere on the street, so ......"

The waiter said very cautiously, using the word fundraising, but fools know that that kind of behavior is not fundraising at all, but robbery.

It's just that knowing this, who would dare to say this word? It's just that they are pretending to be stupid and stealing the bell.

Seeing that she wanted to stop talking, the woman named Lady Cather smiled lightly, and said, "I know, I will try to go out as little as possible, thank you." ”

The waiter smiled at her, and Cather continued to walk towards the elevator with his attendants.

After arriving in the elevator, the attendant beside her said: "Miss, it seems that the changes in Jinling in the past two years have been more chaotic than we imagined. ”

After hearing this, Kaiser just chuckled and said: "I thought that the Huo family would completely concentrate all their strength on the hands with the help of the Yin family, but now it seems that the Yin family is also a wolf ambition, and it has only been a year since it began to rebel." ”

The attendant said with a smile: "I don't know what role the Mu family will play in this today, it stands to reason that if the Mu family helps, there should be no bandits and robberies on the street." ”

Cather stared at the closed elevator door, at his own reflection in the mirror, and did not speak.

After the elevator opened, the two of them stepped out of the elevator one after the other, and there was a person waiting for them, and they followed the person to the room where they were.

When they arrived at the house, when the rain was raging, the attendant took off the trench coat for Kaiser, and then Kaiser handed the gauze hat on his head to the attendant, revealing a smooth and white face.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out of the window at the heavy rain, the chaotic scene downstairs could still be seen, and she suddenly called: "Qing'er." ”

An attendant hanging her clothes. When he heard her words, he immediately stopped, looked at her at the window, and replied, "Miss, what do you have to command?" ”

She said, "If the rain stops later, go outside for me and ask for some news I want." ”

The maid named Qing'er said, "Yes." ”

When Qing'er turned around to leave, she suddenly said again: "Wait." ”

Qing'er stopped and looked at her.

Lu Qingye said, "I'll go with you." ”

At six o'clock in the evening, the rain had completely stopped, and by this time there were no soldiers patrolling the streets, and it was very empty and quiet, except for a few small noodle stalls.

Lu Qingye walked over with Qing'er, and both of them ordered a bowl of noodles.

There were four or five people sitting in the noodle stall eating hot noodles, and while eating, several people were talking about the current battle situation between the Yin family and the Huo family.

A middle-aged man in black, while waiting for the meeting, said with a smile: "The Yin family has been in charge of the troops of the three northeastern provinces during the reign of the Mu family, and almost half of the military power in Jinling is in the hands of the Yin family, but at that time, there was the Mu family, and the Mu family was controlling all the affairs of Jinling internally, and the Yin family has always been suppressed, but two years ago, after Mr. Mu of the Mu family died of illness, everything fell into the hands of Mrs. Mu family, what role is Mrs. Mu family?" A woman's family at home with children is the greatest use, how can it be a business talent, less than two years, all the big and small businesses under the name of the Mu family, has been run into a mess, to say the most outstanding, barely can only say that Jinling's current casino, wine and dance hall, but it is still decent, you see, the soldiers on the street robbed the common people in broad daylight, but Paramount side, but day and night singing and dancing, dignitaries in and out, not affected by it. ”

The man shook his head and sighed: "It's really Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, which is extremely ironic......"

The gray man at the same table with the man in black held a wine glass and said: "Although it was Huo's presidency back then, Huo was just a bandit nest out of a nest, where is there a talent to govern the world, after he became president, it was logical that the Mu family, who was financially supported in the back, grasped the central power, Jinling at that time was really a vibrant scene, and Jinling was governed in an orderly manner inside and out, no matter how it was fought outside, but the people still lived and worked in peace and contentment, not affected by the war outside, Everyone naturally knows whose credit is all this, so they are calling on Huo to step down and let the Mu family come to power, you say that Huo Changfan is a president, and the reputation of the president is not as high as that of a prime minister, and he is clamored by his own people to step down, does he have a sense of crisis? ”

The man in gray took a sip of wine and said: "Unless he is a fool, anyone will have a sense of crisis in this matter, even if the Mu family does not usurp his throne, sooner or later, the inaction of the Huo family will be ousted by the people, so, sure enough, it didn't take long for the relationship between the Huo family and the Mu family to completely break down, and in order to keep his position, the Huo family had to recruit the Yin family, who held a quarter of the military power, back from the northeast, and the two joined forces to attack the Mu family, but who is Mr. Mu of the Mu family?" It's not a vegetarian at all, stirring up the wind and clouds, it's not the strength of the Yin family and the Huo family, even if you want to get rid of the Mu family, you are very easily avoided by the Mu family, the two of them are not right to catch, but at that time, Mu Jingchi's body was dragged down, and he was already a little powerless, although he took advantage of the situation to resign, but he still had to deal with the Huo Yin family who were bound to swallow the Mu family. Secretly gave the Japanese funds to fund the research of poison gas bombs, do you think, how many civilians and officers and soldiers were killed by poison gas bombs in the battle of Jingping? All of a sudden, the good image of the Mu family in the hearts of the people was completely ruined in the eyes of all the people. Others pointed out, maybe the people are still a little suspicious, but this matter was personally broken out by Mrs. Mu family, even if it is not true, it has become true, as soon as the matter broke out, the Huo Yin family took advantage of the situation to bring people to surround the Mu family that night, but when the Mu family and the Yin family came, and the Mu family at that time had been completely covered by Mrs. Mu and the Mu family's housekeeper, Mu Jingchi's body was already extremely uncomfortable there, and he really never expected that his wife would collude with his housekeeper, and the people outside harmed him, and he couldn't get up in one breath. On the way to the Yin family and the Huo family, he died directly, this huge Mu family, there is no one else to inherit, but this Mrs. Mu has the blood of the Mu family, but the bloodline is still small, so she temporarily supervised the young son, and with the help of the Huo Yin family, she successfully took charge of the Mu family's business empire, and the Mu family completely fell on a woman.

It's just that the good times don't last long, the Huo Yin family has been together for less than a year, Yin Baihan rebelled, trying to seize Huo Changfan's position, after such a long battle, coupled with poor management, the Mu family has now been hollowed out, you see that the Huo family army has been robbing on the street for a few days, it is clear that the Mu family is no longer able to bear the expenses of the Huo family, but the Mu family can't go now, tied to this ship, the banks under the Mu family seem to have been hollowed out and closed, and now how many people's money is gone, Huo Changfan used to have a talented person Mu Jingchi's head support, but he didn't think much that he was in the house, Mu Jingchi died, Yin Baihan rebelled, and after a year's battle, we can only sigh, the bandits' nest came out, it is worthy of the bandits' nest, in addition to being able to resist the brute force, there is no strategy at all to fight, the whole government is in a mess, Yin Bohan, an old fighter, fought all the way from Pingyuan to Shengzhou, it took forty-one days. ”

When the man said this, he sneered, tapped his finger twice on the table and said, "Their next goal is to take Jinling directly, how far is Jinling from Shengzhou?" ”

He shook his head helplessly and sighed: "The soldiers are already in the city, and they have no power to return to heaven......

As soon as the owner of the noodle stall heard the two talking about the current situation, he hurriedly asked, "So should we run or not?" ”

When the man in gray heard the boss ask, he took another sip of the hot noodle soup on the table, and after a long time, he said, "I advise you, don't run away, where to flee and not to fight?" Maybe the Huo family will vote directly, not a single soldier will be costly, and we will not have to take the risk, Jinling City will divide the world again, maybe it will be another situation and opportunity. ”

When a few people heard the man in gray say this, they seemed to be less anxious about the current critical situation, and the noodle stall owner said with a smile: "If this is the case, then I won't leave, and when the Huo family votes, maybe I can really find a few places in this Jinling." ”

After the stall owner finished speaking, he brought our noodles and went on to laugh and talk with the men.

Lu Qingye and Qing'er sat there and listened, and after listening for a while, they pretended not to pay attention to their topic, and the two began to eat and eat noodles.

Maybe it was the taste of the noodle restaurant, but it didn't suit their taste, so after only a few bites, they gave money to the noodle stall owner, and left the noodle shop with an umbrella.

Qing'er held an umbrella and followed behind her and asked, "It seems that the people of Jinling City want Huo Jiatou." ”

Lu Qingye smiled: "Now the two Huo Yin families divide the world, and smart people choose the Yin family." ”

Qing'er also smiled and said: "That's fine, they used to let Mr. take their world, but now that Mr. is gone, this world may not be theirs." ”

Lu Qingye walked forward, she walked very carefully, for fear that the muddy water on the side of the road would splash her skirt.

Qing'er said again: "I don't know how Young Master Xiaoyu'er and Young Master Chun'er are over there now." ”

Lu Qingye lifted his skirt, stared carefully at the underground road, and replied casually: "I heard that the school has an activity organization, and the two of them should go to participate in the school's activities." ”

Qing'er said with a smile: "Last time, Chun'er said that she was going to summer camp in the summer, but now it's finally here." ”

After Qing'er finished speaking, she looked up at the sky, and she immediately said, "It's going to rain heavily again, let's go quickly, I don't know ...... first."

Before she could say this completely, Lu Qingye glanced at her, she immediately covered her mouth, and after a while, she continued: "Let's go back to the hotel quickly, lest you get wet and get sick?" ”

Lu Qingye snorted, then quickened his pace and walked in the direction of the hotel.
