Lao Yutou was wearing a long shirt, his back was bowed like a shrimp, and he came to Song Changjin to report: "Shopkeeper, according to your orders, the other guys in the store have been dismissed, and there are still four old customers who are about to live." ”

Song Changjin's concept of happiness is different from that of these food and clothing parents, although he runs a tobacco restaurant, he never smokes, because he knows that this thing hurts his body, and it is even more troublesome, once you become addicted, Zhun Bao will make you become a ghost or a ghost, and you don't even know your father and mother.

Song Changjin doesn't think that he is engaged in a business that lacks morality, after all, he doesn't make this money, there are still others to make it, in the past, when he didn't come to open a tobacco house, there were more than a dozen large and small tobacco houses in this Shanyin Lane in front of the door, and it was estimated that there were more than 30 in the entire Xinmanying camp, and it was precisely because of his arrival that Yan Tuojiang was persuaded to close down all the other tobacco houses, and then opened the only tobacco house in Xinmanying in the name of franchising and official supervision.

Song Changjin naturally made a lot of money, but in this way, the major tobacco houses will compete with each other, and change the scene at all costs, he is doing the business of old customers, and he does not want to coax people into the game, and does not raise prices at will because of monopoly, and the military is also easy to manage.

In fact, after the fall of Yan Tuojiang, Song Changjin was ready to leave the Xinman camp, Ma Yongping's appetite was not so easy to fill, just sent a political donation to the new commander of the nomination, but Ma Yongping immediately proposed to buy equipment to replace the military uniform, Song Changjin read countless people, naturally see that Ma Yongping is difficult to fill, if he continues to stay and operate, sooner or later Ma Yongping will be eaten clean with belt bones, and the hard work of the previous years is afraid that it will be in vain.

But Song Changjin has not had time to leave the Xinmanying camp, there is a big incident here, this night the gunfire is continuous, Nanyang Street and the West Gate have been blocked, although Ma Yongping blocked the news in time, but there are still different versions of the news spread, the most widely circulated version is that there was a mutiny in the Xinmanying camp, but later because of the chaos at the West Gate, some people began to spread the plague in the city, of course, there is also news of zombies in the city.

The sound of guns and cannons in the new camp and the sudden start of the curfew made the people in the city panic, and Song Changjin was still a little confused after listening to Lao Yutou's inquiry.

Old Yu Tou said: "Now all the city gates are closed, no one can get out, no one can enter, the West City Gate and Nanyang Street are surrounded, the crossfire has never been heard, I heard that many people died on the South Gate Street, and the corpses are all over the field and the blood is flowing like a river." ”

Song Changjin frowned, secretly wondering in his heart, could it be that it was really a mutiny? Although Ma Yongping's usurpation of power has not yet been made public, most of the leaders of the Xinman camp already know what the situation is, after all, Yan Tuojiang has been operating in this area for many years, and his strength should not be limited to this, and perhaps this mutiny has something to do with him. Song Changjin naturally wanted Yan Tuojiang to return to power, if Yan Tuojiang could make a comeback, there would be no need for him to leave.

Old Yu said: "Shopkeeper, what should we do?"

Song Changjin said: "What else can I do, the city is so chaotic, once the situation is not controlled, there will soon be a smashing and looting, you go and talk to those old smokers, just say that there is a mutiny, let them go back to their respective homes, our smoke house will also be closed, and we will talk about the future when things are clear tomorrow." ”

Lao Yutou answered, but he was not optimistic about the departure of the few old smokers who still insisted on it, even if it was the end of the world, they would have to finish this cigarette before leaving.

Lao Yutou went around in a circle, and did not persuade the old smoker to leave, but brought two more people, who stood outside the door and did not rush in, they should be waiting for Lao Yutou to report. Song Changjin was about to get angry, but he suddenly heard a woman say, "Song Da Shopkeeper is not harmed?"

Song Changjin heard it clearly, and immediately heard that the voice came from Mrs. Dashuai, and couldn't help but feel excited from the bottom of his heart, he also heard about Ma Yongqing's abduction, but he didn't know about Ma Yongqing's own return, Song Changjin thought he had heard it wrong, and took the initiative to take a few steps to the door.

Old Yu Tou was about to report it, but the people outside also walked in at this time, and Ma Yongqing lifted the veil covering his face: "Shopkeeper Song doesn't even recognize me?"

Song Changjin confirmed that the person in front of him was Ma Yongqing, and he looked at the people around Ma Yongqing again, if he didn't look at it, he was shocked that his scalp was numb and his back was cold, he would never have thought that there would be Yan Tuojiang, the protector of Ganbian Ningxia, among the people who came, and he didn't expect that the two of them would come together again.

Although Ma Yongping tried every means to cover up the truth of the matter, there are some things that can't be covered in paper, not to mention the bystanders, many people have long seen that the two brothers and sisters have ulterior motives, after Yan Tuojiang was in trouble, some people have guessed that the two brothers and sisters conspired to seize Yan Tuojiang's position, Song Changjin is one of them, so he was so shocked when he saw these two couples suddenly appear in front of him.

After stabilizing his mind, Song Changjin said: "Big ...... Da Shuai...... Husband...... Madame......"

Yan Tuojiang said: "Close the door and speak." ”

The old man withdrew from the door and closed the door from the outside.

Yan Tuojiang didn't wait for Song Changjin to greet him, strode to the Taishi chair and sat down, and beckoned Ma Yongqing again: "Yongqing sit, old Song, have you eaten, we have been hungry for a day." ”

Song Changjin nodded as if he had just woken up from a dream, and was about to open the door to command, Ma Yongqing smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll go, you can have a good chat with Dashuai." ”

Song Changjin hurriedly said: "Then how dare you ......" Ma Yongqing didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he had already gone out, and closed the door casually.

Song Changjin stood in front of Yan Tuojiang in a proper manner, feeling uneasy in his heart, and he really didn't know how to speak.

Yan Tuojiang said: "Sit down!"

Song Changjin dared to sit down beside him, thought for a while, and said, "Dashuai, I can ...... you with all that money."

Yan Tuojiang's face sank, so frightened that Song Changjin didn't dare to continue.

Yan Tuojiang said: "Do you think that I will definitely die this time, and there will be no chance to see the light of day again?"

Song Changjin shook his head like a rattle: "The conscience of heaven and earth, since the great handsome was martyred, the little one can't sleep at night, and he is worried about the situation of the big handsome all the time, but the little one firmly believes that the handsome Ji people have their own natural appearance, and now it seems that the sky has ......eyes" Seeing Yan Tuojiang's cold expression, Song Changjin didn't dare to continue, patting sycophants is a science, and if you don't control it well, it is easy to anger the other party.

Yan Tuojiang looked around the room, and had already made an inference from what he saw: "Old Song, are you going to leave?"

Song Changjin nodded and said: "Ma Yongping is in control of the army, even if I want to save the marshal, I have no choice but to leave here as soon as possible, go to Beiping for help, and report the situation here to the government, hoping that they can send troops to rescue the marshal." "He is also open-mouthed, even if he really has this thought, when he goes to Beiping and finds the Beiyang government, I am afraid that Yan Tuojiang has already been killed by then, not to mention that the mountain here is high and the emperor is far away, and the Beiyang government will definitely not mobilize people for a small local warlord.

Yan Tuojiang said: "I'm afraid it's not just this reason, right?"

Song Changjin knew that he couldn't hide it from Yan Tuojiang, and said with a wry smile on his face: "Dashuai, there is firefighting everywhere in the city, and I don't know the situation, so I made the decision to leave. ”

Yan Tuojiang had already judged that Song Changjin didn't know the real situation in the city, he slowly shook his head and said, "Old Song, this new Manchu camp has encountered a big problem, and I can't solve this trouble." ”

Song Changjin was stunned in his heart, he secretly speculated, could it be that Yan Tuojiang escaped secretly? It must have escaped secretly, maybe Ma Yongqing let him go, after all, it was a husband and wife for a hundred days.

Yan Tuojiang said: "The curfew in the city is not because of me, but because some soldiers have become zombies. ”

"What?" Song Changjin thought he had misheard.

Yan Tuojiang told Song Changjin in detail the real situation he saw, and Song Changjin finally understood what was going on at this time.

Yan Tuojiang said: "We must get out of here as soon as possible." ”

Song Changjin already understood when he heard him say this, Yan Tuojiang should recognize himself, whether he wanted to or not, he had to accept the fact that the two of them wanted to take his own boat.

As dawn approached, the fire was getting weaker and weaker, and almost everything that could be used to ignite the fire was used, even the tires of the trucks were dismantled and thrown into the fire, thus strengthening the defenses of the wall of fire. Tan Tiande looked at the eastern sky that had revealed the white of the fish's belly, feeling nervous and urgent, for the remaining hundred or so people, the rising sun was their savior, and only the dazzling sunlight could drive away these monsters infected by the zombie virus.

Luo Lie's two sword eyebrows condensed together, judging from the time and weather conditions, the sun would rise in about twenty minutes, but the wall of fire they used to defend looked unsustainable, and in the northwest of the wall of fire, some of them had begun to show signs of burning out.

Tan Zicong took the lead in taking off his shirt, and under his prompting, many people also took off their shirts and threw them into the fire to enhance the fire, but the summer clothes were thin after all, and they didn't have much effect on the fire at all.

The unconscious cattle and sheep outside seemed to be driven by some mysterious force and began to assemble towards the weakest part of the fire.

Tan Tiande, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, came to Luo Lie's side and said in a low voice: "It's broken, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it anymore." ”

Luo Lie nodded, seeing that they couldn't hold up the time when the sun rose.

Tan Zicong said loudly: "All brothers, listen, the bullet is loaded and aimed at the outer ring, no matter who or livestock break in, it will be killed!"

I wish you all a happy New Year's Day and all the best!
