Two o'clock in the morning, dungeon.

The door to the dungeon was opened, and there was an inaudible sound, and a man in a Dutch military uniform crept in.

Yu Tian was woken up, and just after opening his eyes, he heard a few slightly anxious words.

"Nightingale, I'm a person sent by Young Marshal Gu, ...... you"

The words of the person who came suddenly got stuck after seeing Yu Tian's face.

Then, he said in some disbelief: "Miss Yu Tian? ”

The whole day of torture made Yu Tian's face pale, almost bloodless, and he was a little confused at first, and then he was a little sober in his words.

The visitor was a little overwhelmed: "I didn't expect the nightingale to be you, no wonder ......"

However, he didn't finish his words, but the tone of his words changed: "I am an undercover agent of the Dutch Embassy sent by Gu Shaoshuai, my name is Liu Xiao, Miss Yu, let's leave here first, the outside is all arranged, I will help you see how to untie this chain......"

Yu Tian was tied to the gallows, his head bowed, and he was forced to stand in a very hard posture, obviously exhausted.

Liu Xiao couldn't bear to look at it more, but when he wanted to use a tool to open the hinge, he was gently pressed by a hand.

Liu Xiaotou looked at Yu Tian, only to find that Yu Tian had a complicated expression on his face, and the surprise in his eyebrows was even more than when he first knew that Yu Tian was a nightingale.

It's as if she never thought that someone would come to her rescue.

"No need."

Yu Tian's palms were cold, and his voice was weak, but with unquestionable strength.

Liu Xiao was stunned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Yu tilted his head: "I said you don't have to find a way to untie it." ”

"This chain is very difficult to unravel, it will take you at least ten minutes, and this dungeon is supervised by Kevin, I know his abilities and means better than any of you, it is almost impossible for us to escape."

Liu Xiao looked at her determined eyes, and for the first time felt that he was a little speechless.

"But Gu Shaoshuai said......"

Maybe it was because the situation was really critical, or maybe it was because Yu Tian finally came to her senses after a short trance, realizing what she and Liu Xiao were doing now, and her tone was a little more stern when she spoke again.

"Liu Xiao, I have known Gu Xiao for more than ten years," Speaking of this, Yu Tian paused for a moment, "I'm sure this is the most wrong decision he's ever made." ”

"Even if you open the chains today, I won't be able to go with you, I am ready to sacrifice the day I come to steal the information."

She is already a dying person, and even if she is rescued, it will only be a year and a half.

How could innocent people still be allowed to take such a risk for her.

"If I hurt my compatriots for a broken life, I will feel guilty for it for the rest of my life."

Liu Xiao looked at the righteous and awe-inspiring Yu Tian, but he was a little unwilling: "Miss Yu, I have been lurking in the Dutch Embassy for two years, I am familiar with the structure here, and the plan this time is also very thorough, you don't have to worry." ”

The little whale looked at the young and enthusiastic young man in front of him, and obviously couldn't bear it: "Ah Tilt, Kevin is already on his way." ”

Yu Tian was stunned, and in the next second, his eyes changed completely, and his expression was a little anxious: "Enough, I can't go with you, I've been fighting Kevin for so long, no one knows him better than me, you go now, you go back and tell Gu Xiao that this is my will, he will understand." ”

Liu Xiao's eyebrows were already loose, and he opened his mouth, Yu Tian's eyes were cold, and he forced him again: "Believe it or not, if you hesitate for a moment, not only the two of us, but also those people who pick us up outside, no one can leave." ”

The situation is urgent, after all, no one expected Kevin to come so quickly.

Yu Tian quickened his speech, looking a little anxious: "After you go out, don't take the No. 3 intersection, Kevin has already arranged people over there, you go to No. 5 Road, and then find an opportunity to notify others to cancel the operation after ensuring safety." ”

After a long time, things changed, and Yu Tian didn't give Liu Xiao too much time to hesitate: "You go quickly, it's too dangerous here." ”

This time, almost with a commanding tone, Liu Xiao finally compromised.

"Precious."

Yu Tian was relieved, and said softly at the moment when Liu Xiao turned around: "Help me tell him that I am sorry for him and I love him very much." ”

At the moment when they passed by, the time was actually very short, but Yu Tian still said the extremely cruel sentence at the last time.

"In the future, no matter what kind of conditions the Netherlands offers, don't agree, he knows my situation and it's not worth it."

Liu Xiao opened his mouth, and wanted to speak.

Yu Tian took the first step to speak: "Don't look back, go!" ”

Liu Xiao gritted his teeth and held back his tears and strode away.

After walking out of the door, he hesitated for a moment, but still did not take the planned No. 3 road, but followed Yu Tian's instructions to take the No. 5 road.

He had just left Road 5 when he heard a regular tapping sound coming from Road 3, just a wall away.

It's the Dutch troops.

Kevin did have an ambush.

Liu Xiao hid in a dead corner, clenching his teeth so that the cry did not leak out.

He looked up, but tears were still falling.

The pain is awe-inspiring.

He didn't dare to stay any longer, and after dodging a patrol, he quietly slipped away into the night.

At half past two in the morning, two white fireworks were suddenly set off outside the Dutch embassy.

The fireworks, which symbolized the cancellation of the plan, were lit by Liu Xiao himself.

His hands were shaking as he struck the match.

Tears melted into the night.

Maybe it's a blessing, maybe it's a fear.

Or maybe it's regret and pain.

"Young Marshal Gu, the plan has failed, Miss Yu Tian said......"

The young marshal's office was lit up that night.

After that day, the tactics of the Gu army were surprisingly stunning and aggressive, and the Dutch army, whose morale was low after the plan was exposed, was defeated.

Half a month later, the Netherlands sent a telegram requesting peace, the last of which read: "The Netherlands returns all prisoners of war."

The envoy sent by the Netherlands was smiling and his tone was full of hints.

Take out the holy fruit that tempts the maiden to fall.

Gu Xiao sat in the military headquarters for another night.

The next day, he refused to negotiate peace and sent troops to burn down one of the largest granaries in the Netherlands.

Since then, the vitality of the Netherlands has been greatly damaged, and Hiro, who has been watching from the sidelines, is finally willing to cooperate with the Lan State and send troops to support the coast.

The Dutch army was disheartened, and several times in a row they were almost defeated without a fight.

Five days later, the Netherlands, having failed in negotiations and the tide was gone, was furious.

He ordered Yu to be killed and his body hung outside the Dutch embassy for demonstration.

In order to avoid Jiang Cheng's restlessness, he scratched Yu Tian's face.

Just say it's an undercover agent.

Named Nightingale.

On the day the body was hung out, almost everyone in the city ran to see it.

Recently, under the leadership of Gu Shaoshuai, the Lan army has won many battles one after another.

Gu Shaoshuai has a long-term vision and is not greedy for small profits, so he rejected the Netherlands' request for peace a few days ago.

Later, with the help of the powerful Hero, the army of the Lan State was invincible.

The news that the Netherlands will surrender soon has already spread all over the streets and alleys of Jiangcheng.

Everyone finally raised their eyebrows, walked a little straighter, and their faces were beaming.

Even Xia Guangfeng, who had been depressed because of Lu Mingdao's death, was in a better mood.

Hearing that the Dutch embassy was still arrogant and provocative by hanging corpses on the city wall, everyone in Lan Kingdom, who was finally a little happy, was very angry, and a group of people rushed to the city to see.

Xia Guangfeng is a scholar and the deputy editor-in-chief of Century Magazine, and when he heard such news, he also ran to the city with everyone to take a few looks.

I saw that there was indeed a corpse hanging outside the embassy, wearing only white prison clothes, and it was stained red with blood.

The person who was hung looked to be a woman, with a slender body, long hair, and because it had not been washed for several days, it looked a little messy, and his face had been scratched by those God-damned Dutch people, and I don't know how much hatred there was.

Xia Guangfeng stood in the crowd, stunned, looking up at the corpse on the city wall, he always felt a little familiar.

There was already a chatter in the crowd.

"Why are these Dutch people so arrogant?"

"It's that their army has been beaten by Young Marshal Gu along the coast, and now, since they still dare to provoke themselves here."

"This woman is the nightingale on the city wall announcement two days ago, I heard that she is an agent of the Lan Kingdom, a national hero, how could she be ......?"

"Didn't you hear that the Dutch embassy took the initiative to negotiate peace with us a few days ago and was rejected, it is estimated that the conditions were not negotiated, so you were angry and killed the captives to vent your anger."

"Alas, how could there be such a thing, but Gu Shaoshuai really has the backbone to refuse!"

"That's not it, if it weren't for Young Marshal Gu refusing their peace, how could the wavering Hiro firmly send troops to support us, and how could there be such a good opportunity for the war situation now."

"It's a pity that these heroes who sacrificed for the country are really not in Jiangcheng, if he and his army are still there, how can they let this foreign devil be arrogant like this."

"But then again, Gu Shaoshuai is not in Jiangcheng, but isn't that Sun Qi still there?"

"What can you expect him to do with this person, haven't you forgotten that he gave a passionate speech in the Jiangcheng Hall, and with Gu Shaoshuai's father, he wanted to pull Gu Shaoshuai off the horse."

"If it weren't for the fact that Gu Shaoshuai still has a fiancée who can carry it clearly and can control the scene in Jiangcheng, wouldn't our Jiangcheng have been messed up a long time ago?"

"In my opinion, our battle has gone so smoothly so far, and the eldest lady of the Yu family has also contributed a lot."

"That's not it, it's just that I haven't heard much about the eldest lady of the Yu family recently."

"I heard that I have resigned from my job at Century Magazine, and after the death of that poor Lu Mingdao, I guess I am grieving."

"I don't know what she's doing now......"

Everyone was just chatting, but the topic gradually diverged.

And Xia Guangfeng stood aside and listened to them talk, but he only felt that his chest was on fire inexplicably.

At that moment, looking at the agents on the city wall who were tortured and finally died, Xia Guangfeng once again felt the injustice of the world.

He seemed to see Lu Mingdao's shadow from that agent.

Obviously, they are the ones who shed the most blood, and they are the ones who gave their lives.

In the end, only two pitiful words were left in people's mouths.

And then it was forgotten.

In the end, it seems that only two people were remembered, Yu Tian and Gu Xiao.

One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither.

Who will remember the little people who died in the middle of the revolution?

The corpse still hung on the city wall, surrounded by Dutch troops, holding guns at the surrounding crowd, and no one dared to act rashly.

Xia Guangfeng only felt that his chest was clogged and panicked, as if he looked at the corpse again, tears would flow uncontrollably.

That kind of pain is not heartbreaking, and it is far less painful than when he saw Lu Mingdao die with his own eyes.

But it also has the power to shake people's hearts.

Let Xia Guangfeng's heart unconsciously tighten and loosen.

Every time I look at the corpse, my heart hurts a little more.

It was strange that he had never felt so uncomfortable when he saw a battlefield strewn with corpses in the past.

Xia Guangfeng's face turned pale, as if he was about to fall down in the next second, and was finally helped back in a panic by a young man from Century Magazine, who came with him.

Before leaving, Xia Guangfeng glanced back at the corpse on the city wall one last time, and his heart was sour.

But he only thought that after Lu Mingdao's death, he became more and more sentimental.

After sighing, he endured the colic in his heart, and was helped back to the magazine by the young man step by step.

The corpse was left alone.

In order to ensure Yu De's safety, after receiving the news of Nightingale's death, Gu Xiao specially instructed the soldiers who stayed in Jiangcheng many times.

Don't let Yu De go out.

Don't let Yu De run outside the embassy to see the corpse.

In fact, I'm afraid that he won't be able to stand it.

But what can't be accepted is not only Yu De alone.

After Gu Xiao completed the handover of some troop tasks with the officers sent by Hiro, and hurriedly arranged the strategic deployment for the next few days to ensure that there would be no further mistakes.

In front of the large army, he led a few personal soldiers to rush back to Jiangcheng first.

They were riding in the army's pickup truck, and Gu Xiao didn't say a word all the way.

Adjutant Liu had already roughly deduced what had happened from the news of these days and Gu Xiao's reaction, and he was also full of solemnity and did not say a word.

Only the soldier driving the car looked at the officer with a serious face behind him, trembling and concentrating on his whole body.

When he was only a few kilometers away from Jiangcheng, Gu Xiao finally spoke softly, but there was a trilling tone in his tone: "Could it be that that person is actually not her at all?" ”

The little soldier driving the car didn't know what he was talking about, after all, this was a brainless sentence, and only Adjutant Liu, who knew him best, could understand.

But it doesn't matter if you understand it or not, because Adjutant Liu obviously understands, but he can only be as silent as Xiaobing.

He couldn't open his mouth.

Because Yu Tian's phone call has not been called since the news of Nightingale's arrest came.

Because at half past two in the morning that night, it was he and Gu Xiao who answered Liu Xiao's crying phone call in the office.

Because on the night of refusing to negotiate peace with the Netherlands, he also accompanied Gu Shaoshuai outside the door of the study and stayed awake all night.

These days, Adjutant Liu has never mentioned Yu Tian to Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao didn't mention Yu Tian to anyone.

This is their tacit secret, and it is also the pain that they can't open their mouths.

Until now, until now.

It is only a few kilometers away from Jiangcheng and can be reached in a maximum of 20 minutes by car.

Gu Xiao was rushing to a destination where no one was waiting for a long time.

And they will face reality.
