Volume 1: The Expedition Chapter 81: The Calm Before the Storm
"Good fellow! I've finally caught him!" the old devil slammed the arm of the chair he sat down on, and laughed wildly.
Perhaps it was the reason for this action that the people on the side gasped for breath, and he glanced at the crumbling blue flame in the distance, which he had condensed with the secret method, and the fire of his life could be seen by placing the target's personal belongings into it and burning it.
The old devil squinted.
"God help me, that stinky woman is dying, all the disciples listen to the order, go and prepare quickly, and encircle and suppress them tomorrow!" he laughed.
"Yes!" everyone said in unison.
In the power plant, Ye Wuwu was idle, he simply took a few bites of food and began to check, this check was an afternoon, but the other party's skills were too superb, and he found nothing.
"Who the hell could do this kind of thing, and actually deceived me..."Ye Wu scratched his head, his fingers clicked on the table, he looked at the information of dozens of people listed on the table, "This kind of method of making fake accounts will never be something that this group of people can do..."
A few more hours passed, and it was already dark, and the person who laid out the layout still had no clue.
midnight
Ye Wu lay on the iron bridge in front of the waterfall and thought carefully, he could be said to have thought about all the people he remembered in his past life and this life, but after thinking about it for a long time, there was only one person who could make this kind of account book, and that person was his friend in his previous life-Ye Lian.
Ye Lian was met in school after he was discharged from the army, and he was the eldest young master of the company, don't look at people as a child of a noble family, his abilities are on par with Ye Wu, and his best thing is to settle accounts, especially to make fake accounts, never leaving a trace.
'It's only him, but how did he come here?Even if it is, why did he do this to me?I took him like a brother...... Ye Wu looked at the lake, his heart complicated.
"Who?" At this moment, Ye Wu's face turned pale, his eyes were like a sword, and he stared at the side deadly.
"It's me. As soon as the words fell, a woman walked out of the darkness, this person was none other than Jiang Ruyan.
Ye Wuxin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Didn't you go to accompany your mother, why did you get here......" he touched the tip of his nose.
"Iโof course I've come to see you, my general. Jiang Ruyan smiled, and the smile was so bitter.
"What happened that day...... Have you seen it all?" Ye Wu looked at the humanity behind him, his eyes were very complicated, there was guilt and sadness, but there was no trace of regret.
Jiang Ruyan came to Ye Wu.
"I thought you had changed, but who would have thought that you hadn't changed at all, you were still the same as before, and you carried everything by yourself. She said, between her eyebrows, tenderness like water.
"Really......" Ye Wu laughed at himself, he continued to look at the sky, looking at the only bit of light in the night.
Suddenly, there was a soft feeling on his back, and Ye Wuyi turned around, only to see Jiang Ruyan hugging him tightly.
"What are you doing?" he said with a blushing face and a little panicked, this was the first time he had been in close contact with this woman at his own leisure of consciousness.
"Don't move, let me hold you for a while, please. Jiang Ruyan looked up at Ye Wu.
Ye Wugang was about to push it away, but he found that the other party had tears in his eyes, and he paused.
"Casual ...... Whatever you want. "He can't overdo it.
Ye Cheng ...... I love you, do you love me?" Jiang Ruyan suddenly asked.
Ye Wu was stunned, and then his face showed a complicated expression, he did have a good impression of this girl, but this kind of good impression was deformed, it was the good feeling born from the memories related to the original owner of this body and the face of the other party and her, that was not a real liking, it was just pure possessiveness.
Seeing that Ye Wu hadn't answered for a long time, Jiang Ruyan's face was disappointed.
"You've been thinking about it for so long, I'm afraid you're not thinking about how to refuse me so that I won't be sad, right?" she said with a low brow.
Ye Wugang opened his mouth to refuse, but when the words came to his mouth, his mouth seemed to be uncontrollable: "It's not ......"
A glimmer of hope flashed in Jiang Ruyan's eyes.
"That'...... I have already told my aunt that as long as you agree, we will marry in a few days......" She didn't finish her words.
"No...... No way.... Ye Wu interrupted, his eyes dodging, not daring to look at him, "I mean...... At least not yet. โ
"Why?" Jiang Ruyan looked at Ye Wu puzzled, she didn't understand why she would refuse this in front of her if she was already in the bag.
"Please, please give me a few more years, and by that time, we will ......" Ye Wu said, his voice getting quieter and quieter.
Jiang Ruyan looked at Ye Wu, and his watery eyes made people feel distressed.
"Can I take that as an answer to your refusal?" her voice quivered slightly.
Ye Wu did not answer.
Jiang Ruyan's nose was slightly sour, and she hurriedly turned around and left.
Looking at the figure of the girl leaving, Ye Wu felt a pain in his heart for some reason, and in his mind, all kinds of memories related to it appeared like watching the lights, and along with these memories there was also that unspeakable emotion.
I'm not him. He said silently in his heart.
"Cheng'er. โ
Behind him, his mother's voice sounded, and Ye Wu turned his head.
"Mother..."
Murong Wan nodded and came to Ye Wu.
"Mother wants to know, what do you think?" she said softly, seeing that Ye Wu was silent, she sighed, "Ruyan is a good girl, she is willing to give everything for you, even at the expense of changing herself." โ
"I know... But now... I really can't..."Ye said incoherently.
Murong Wan knew what Ye Wu had to scruple about, and she caressed Ye Wu's cheek.
"I know what you're afraid of... Alas... Mother is useless, let you suffer. She looked guilty.
Ye Wu hurriedly waved his hand.
"It's okay... The child can stand up, and the child will definitely let the mother return to the imperial capital openly, and then our family will build a bigger house in the imperial capital..."She painted a picture of the future to the woman.
Listening to her child's vision for the future, Murong Wan's eyes couldn't help but moisten.
"What's wrong?" Ye Wu was a little flustered when he saw the woman crying, he looked at the woman and said, "What did I do wrong? Or did someone make you unhappy? You tell me, I..."
"It's okay, I'm in the snow. The woman wiped tears from her eyes, and she forced a smile.
โ...โ
Following.
"Young Master!"
A maid hurriedly pushed open the door of the management room.
Ye Wu looked at this person, this person he knew, it was the maid he sent to take care of Jiang Ruyan.
"What's wrong? He said.
"This morning, I went to the county lord's room to deliver food as usual, but the room was empty, except for this piece of paper on the table. The maid cried, took out a letter from her waist and handed it to Ye Wu.
Ye Wu took the letter with some doubts, opened it, and the delicate handwriting looked like it was written by a woman.
'If you don't meet you, you will return to your hometown for the time being, and go to your own peace. โ
"This ......" Ye Wu looked at the familiar and unfamiliar handwriting, and was stunned for a long time without speaking.
"This girl, isn't it going to die when you go back at this time...... That's it!" he flicked his robe and hurried towards the gate, but he could not finally watch his sheep fall into the tiger's mouth.
It's a big deal to erase the memories related to yourself when you leave. He thought.
"Young Master!" Outside the house, Shi Youshan's voice sounded, and he ran over out of breath, "Young Master, a military horse in the horse pen is missing...... Young Master, where are you going?"
On the periphery of the Nanzhou forest, Jiang Ruyan led the figure of the horse in the snowy scene.
"Stop. A figure stopped in front of her.
Jiang Ruyan looked at the person who came and took a deep breath.
"Where are you a robber?" she cried.
The man said: "I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to live from here, leave the road to buy money." โ
Jiang Ruyan was stunned, she pulled down her hat and said with a smile: "What wealth do you want?"
The figure walked towards her, looking up and down.
"Seeing that you are also penniless like this, it is better to pay your debts with yourself. He said.
"Are you serious?" Jiang Ruyan said solemnly.
"The gentleman has no jokes. He said word by word, and after that, he picked up Jiang Ruyan and stepped on the horse, Jiang Ruyan naturally lowered his head into his arms.
"Drive!" Ye Wuyi whipped his horse, and the horse galloped.
Jiang Ruyan landed his gaze on his bracer, and glanced at Ye Wu again, and then his expression was gloomy, not knowing what he was thinking.
He ...... It's still the unreachable him......
The two returned to the power plant, and after discussing with their mother, they decided to arrange the wedding for next month.
"Have you heard that our city lord is going to hold a wedding next month. In the restaurant, a big man with a beard on his face said mysteriously.
A few people who were originally in high spirits on the side were immediately disappointed when they heard this.
"Cut, who in this Nanzhou City doesn't know about this matter?"
Seeing this, the bearded man was not annoyed, he patted his thigh and said, "Do you know who our city lord is marrying?"
As soon as the meridian beard asked, the man immediately became interested.
"Dare to ask, which daughter is Nanzhou City?" he asked.
"Go, go, do you think those vulgar fans from various families in Nanzhou City can be worthy of the city lord?"
"Who is that? Isn't that the princess?" the man asked casually.
The bearded man looked at him a little stunned, then nodded with a laugh and said, "Yo! You really guessed it right, it is the princess of the dynasty, the pearl of His Majesty's palm, such as the lord of Yanjun." โ
โ......โ
The discussion at this table attracted the attention of those who were interested.
"Dare to ask, this wedding celebration...... Is it true?" asked a white-faced scholar who folded his fan and stepped forward very humbly to ask.
The bearded man glanced at the white-faced scholar, as if he felt that the authority of his words had been trampled on, and immediately replied: "Can this be fake? On the first day of next month, you see, this leaflet has been sent out." โ
"Flyer ......" The white-faced scholar looked at the paper in his hand, and then sneered, "What a coincidence." โ
He walked out of the tavern to a hidden alleyway, and with a lift of his hand, a flash of light flew out in the shape of a bird.
In the imperial capital.
"Oh, the boy is getting married?" the old devil looked at what was written on the paper.
"It's true, the disciple's demon sent a voice with his own hand. The yin-yang man respectfully handed over a talisman in his hand.
The old devil put it in the center of his eyebrows, and then he crushed the amulet, grinned at the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Hahaha...... Hahaha! This kid is newly married, why don't I go and celebrate...... Give him another big gift by the way?"
Seeing this, the yin and yang man immediately understood what the old demon meant, the two looked at each other and smiled, and he said, "The apprentice understands, I will go and inform the other junior disciples." โ
When the people retreated, the old devil looked at the man with his hair scattered and his face like ashes.
"Come with us then. He laughed.
The man laughed miserably and fell prostrate on the ground.
"Thank you...... Master ......"
Time passes minute by minute, a month has arrived in a blink of an eye, compared to a month ago, Nanzhou City can be said to have changed greatly, a cement bungalow is rising from the ground, thousands of cables stand on both sides of the street.
Ye Wu sat in the management room, quietly listening to Shi Youshan and their reports on the work of the past few days.
"After the automation equipment is manufactured, it is expected that there will be more than 100 rounds of ammunition a day, one automatic rifle in three days, one mortar shell in five days, and one mortar in ten days..." Mo ruthlessly handed the Chinese manuscript to Ye Ling and described it in detail on the side.
After that, he retreated, and Shi Youshan took a step forward when he saw this: "The four-person team of automatic weapons and mortars has now completed training, and the training of individual combat skills has been completed......
โ...โ
Finally, Ye Ling stepped forward and handed all the Chinese manuscripts to Ye Wu.
"Go ahead. Ye Wu waved his hand.
"Yes!"
