The sound of artillery fire continued to roar and became more and more intense.

Accompanied by a screeching sound.

A cannonball exploded not far away,

The rubble flew, and the violent air wave directly lifted Zhang Huaisheng's whole person out.

The world is spinning.

He staggered up from the ground, his face moistened, and when he reached out to touch it, he realized that it was a cut made by the blown rubble.

"Maybe I took a small piece of flesh away, although the pain hasn't come up yet, but I have a lot of blood, but I don't have a mirror to look at it now."

"Oops..."

He hurried to find the little nun behind him.

found that she was sitting on the ground beside her with a blank face, flying up from behind Zhang Huaisheng, she actually turned over in a circle and sat on the ground with her ass.

"Are you alright?"

The little nun shook her head: "It shouldn't be, I haven't felt any discomfort yet." ”

"That's good."

Zhang Huaisheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The little nun glanced at Zhang Huaisheng and tore off a scarf from the sleeve of the wide nun's robe.

Come here.

Hide.

Zhang Huaisheng frowned: "What are you going to do?" ”

"You're bleeding, I'll wipe it for you."

Zhang Huaisheng waved his hand: "There's no need, your sleeve is not sterile, let it hang." ”

"Sterile?"

"If you have plague shamans in the Church of Calamity, why haven't you even taught this? Have you heard of Leeuwenhoek? ”

"Nope."

The little nun looked dazed.

Zhang Huaisheng picked her up and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll tell you about it later." ”

The smoke gradually cleared.

He saw a middle-aged man squatting on the ruins in darkness, looking dazed, and then realized something, desperately digging on the ruins, and his hands were bloodied and did not stop.

He saw people crushed under the rubble and cried out for help, but no one cared about them, and everyone was saving themselves.

Children who have lost their parents look at their burning home in such a daze that they forget to even cry.

Zhang Huaisheng subconsciously quickened his pace.

There's nothing he can do about it.

"Go that way, take Gogol Boulevard."

The road the nun was pointing to was not the road to the port of Edinburgh, which was the closest to the British landing site, and it was only a matter of time before it fell.

Moreover, at this time, there were many British naval guns bombarding the city, and the port must have been blockaded a long time ago.

Although the British Army has long since been reduced to the second rate of the world with the passing of the era of queuing to shoot; However, the navy still firmly occupies the first place in the world.

The road grew desolate.

Conversion from a stone road to a dirt road.

There are hardly anybody.

Hordes of refugees are evacuating inland to the north and west, because, in their opinion, the port is closed.

"It's secretive, isn't it?"

The little nun behind her said, "Yes, few people know about this place, even those who are very well-connected. Previously, many of the Germanic aid was unloaded from here. ”

Zhang Huaisheng looked sideways: "You know a lot." ”

"Of course, I'm not a child."

The little nun raised her head proudly, and her eyes on her veil sparkled: "Otherwise, my sisters would not have entrusted me with such a difficult task." ”

Walking through a reed thicket, the eyes suddenly opened up.

At the foot of the foot is a large depression, and the harbor is built in the depression, so it is impossible to imagine a harbor here without passing through this large area of reeds.

In the harbor, there is only one fishing boat that is not very large, which is not very large, compared to those ocean-going giants and whaling ships.

A few letters were written on the side of the ship in German - it should be its name.

"The Hanseatic."

Zhang Huaisheng tried to spell the road.

Because the Ansars were a Germanic sub-tribe, there was a clear kinship between English and German.

Behind the side of the boat, someone jumped up, poked his head out and waved at them in the distance.

Because he is not very tall, even if he jumps high, he can only show half of his face.

"It's Sister Teresa!"

The little nun waved her hand happily.

"Recognize you from so far away?"

Zhang Huaisheng was a little surprised, with his eyesight, he could only vaguely see that it was a red-haired girl from such a distance, and this was because the hood was blown off by the wind.

The little nun said with a look of course: "Because only Sister Teresa cares about you very much, she will definitely be the first to see us." ”

The deputy personality was moved: "I knew that Teresa still loved me." ”

Zhang Huaisheng: "..."

On the side of the boat, a rope ladder was released, and Zhang Huaisheng climbed up in three or two clicks.

Teresa hurriedly took the little nun behind him, and because her face was half covered by a veil, she could only see that her beautiful eyes flashed with excitement and joy.

"Jinyu, it's great that you're safe and sound... I... And the sisters are worried about you. ”

Zhang Huaisheng subconsciously avoided her gaze, and crossed over, he couldn't use the original owner's body to occupy the original owner's lover, that was too despicable.

With his character, he was destined to have nothing to do with Teresa.

"I'll go find them."

The little nun said hello to the two of them, and rushed into the cabin, she didn't want to make a light bulb.

For a while, these two people were left in this corner of the deck.

The sea breeze was fresh and blowing Teresa's red hair.

Zhang Huaisheng was a little embarrassed and said: "I have decided to leave Britain with you and go to the New World, this ship is a German ship?" ”

"Really? That's great! It is true that the ship was given to us by the Germans, but all the sailors and crews are trustworthy people in the rebel army, and since you have arrived, we can leave at any time. ”

Zhang Huaisheng was a little puzzled: "Mr. Clifford is not with us?" ”

Teresa said, "The Patriarch... The leader had decided to remain in Edinburgh to fight the British, and he would consider leaving after the majority of the committee members had left Edinburgh. ”

Teresa sighed, "But even if he leaves, he won't join us, the leader has resigned as patriarch of the Calamity Church." ”

"Where is he going?"

"When I went to Switzerland, the leader wrote to me that he was going there to visit a thinker from Russia who had gone into exile in Switzerland."

"Exile in Switzerland? From Russia? ”

Zhang Huaisheng's eyes lit up: "What is this person's name?" ”

"Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, Mr. Clifford has just received a letter of invitation from him, and he praises this as a thinker who is not inferior to you."

Zhang Huaisheng was stunned, this name was very unfamiliar, not Mr. Lie as he guessed.

That's right, because it is a parallel time and space, many people who existed in this era in the previous life may not walk out of the same trajectory as in the previous life.

The loving father may be working as a shoemaker in the Caucasus, or the mustache may be painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna.

Sometimes, it only takes a little change to change the trajectory of a person's life.

If Zhang Huaisheng's knowledge reserve is richer, Teresa knows more about the thinker in the leader's mouth, at least knows his pseudonym.

Zhang Huaisheng will know that this Mr. Ulyanov from Tsarist Russia is actually the pioneer he guessed.

A long whistle sounded.

Smoke billowed out of the chimney.

"We're leaving?"

"Well, the Hanseatic will head to Hamburg to replenish fresh water and food, then stop in Brittany for a while before heading straight to the New World."

"Where to go in the New World?"

"The leader said to give you an idea, we originally planned to go to Massachusetts, where there are a lot of Celtic immigrants, and the committee has received a lot of donations from there."

"Let me have an idea?"

"That's right, the leader said that your overall view and insights are something he also admires, so it would be more appropriate for you to make decisions than him."

Zhang Huaisheng did not refuse. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "If I remember correctly, Massachusetts is also called New England, and the British or British are the most powerful.

Although there were many Celtic immigrants, most of them were engaged in manual labor and belonged to the middle and lower classes, and the Scottish Regional Defence Committee, as the force that once instigated the Celtic uprising at the bottom, would be at high risk of going to Massachusetts. ”

"Of course, with risk comes opportunity, and if you can unite all the Celtic immigrants in Massachusetts, and then use this as a signboard to call on all Celts to come together here, and create a Celtic state, or even an independent republic, it is not impossible.

Of course, it is more likely that all of us will be arrested by the United States, or executed outright, or sent back to Great Britain. ”

Teresa whispered: "Jinyu, sisters don't have such great ambitions, such a thing as liberating all compatriots... Let the leaders do it. ”

"In that case, it's not appropriate to go to Massachusetts again, even though it's the closest place to Britain in North America."

Canada was still the most loyal member of the Commonwealth at this time and would not have thought about it at all.

Zhang Huaisheng thought for a while, and then said: "Go to Texas, which is known as the Lone Star State, formerly known as the Lone Star Republic independent of Mexico, located on the border between the United States and Mexico, with a vast territory and mixed forces from all sides, it is difficult for ordinary people to take root there, but it is much easier for transcendents." ”
