Late at night, the whistle sounded

The "Water Temple Dragon Boat" sails through a relatively gentle river with dense forests on the banks of the river, and a flock of night birds flies in terror, their wings skimming the forest road. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A truck was dumped on the road, the fire was blazing, and fifteen or sixteen young people covered in grass and blood came out: "Fortunately, Liu Qingming will repair the car, and found a problem with the car, the quality of this car is ......"

"Wait, what's going on in the woods?"

Someone shouted, "Be careful!"

Bang bang –

A dense row of gunfire tore through the silent night, and no matter how agile he dodged, he couldn't withstand the sound of the ambush gunfire in the dark woods in an instant, and in an instant, four people had fallen, and the rest rushed in.

Gunshots rang out one after another, and screams continued in the woods.

"There is an ambush, retreat quickly. A young man's body suddenly disappeared, and with a kick, there was a "poof" sound, and one person kicked out of the air, flying straight like a puppet, and his bones were shattered.

Then, on one side, dodged a shot, and with a sideways punch, another soldier fell out.

"Kill foreigners, restore the Heavenly Dynasty!"

The young man killed two soldiers, rushed out of the woods with the rest of his teammates, plunged into the river, and swam to the lighted steamer in the dark channel.

In a moment, a carriage stopped on the shore, and a handsome man in an intricate black trench coat, red lining, and black bow tie got out of the car, looking at the end of the dark river ahead, and the brightly lit luxury steamer was like an unsinkable water palace.

"Chang Alice United Shipping Company's Water Temple Dragon Boat. A few foreigners, who were obviously mercenaries, came out, put away their guns, bowed their heads respectfully, and said in Brietan: "Mr. An, there are three radicals running up, these people are panicking, and when they see a ship full of foreigners, they will start a riot, and the steamship guards and the personal guards of some dignitaries will help us to solve the ......"

However, after waiting for a while, it has been quiet on the dragon boat of the Water Temple.

"What about the riots you are talking about?" Mr. An looked at the people with a blank expression.

The mercenary captain shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "Maybe there is an answer? It doesn't matter, they always have to get off the ship......"

Mr. An stretched out his hands, the windbreaker vibrate, the black outside was blood-red inside, and the bloody whirlwind swept the scene, several mercenaries staggered and couldn't stand up, and their vision became empty for a moment, and they couldn't help shouting: "Mr. An, Mr. An, wait, why don't you go up...... Where do we go from here?"

“gotodie！”

A swarm of black bats glided across the water, and the moonlight was in the night sky, with a hint of blood.

............

midnight

Awakened, Ji Lun turned on the table lamp, and looked at the water outside the porthole under the dim table light, the fog was misty and there was no movement.

"Teacher?" Little Helen sat up in the hammock in a daze, rubbing her eyes, the little white cat had jumped up one step ahead of her, and fried hair shouted: "Meow~~"

"Feeling...... Something is keeping up. Ji Lun touched the little white cat, and affirmed his intuition even more, Su Xiaoxiaomei's cat intuition has always been very strong.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the hallway, and little Helen jumped out of the hammock and lifted her cat...... Oh, her guns.

The cat crouched on the pistol Lori was holding and looked at the hatch with an innocent expression.

“......”

Ji Lun went over to push open the door, and the three sisters of the Wu family stood nervously at the door, with a few young people who were drenched in wet, covered in grass and blood, obviously not normal travelers.

Wu Shanxia's face turned red: "Second Lieutenant Ji Lun, can you help hide the three people...... Yes, these three, Xiao Yang and Xiao Lin, and this tall man is my classmate Liu Qingming, who just saw him climb up in the river during the vigil and knew that he was being chased by foreign mercenaries...... I can't take them into the women's lounge, you have three empty seats in your room, if you can......"

She pointed to the iron-framed bed across from Kilon's bed...... A small private room on the ship, similar to a railway sleeper, with two triple stacked beds, can accommodate up to six people.

And as if she was afraid of Ji Lun's refusal, she pleaded again: "No one dares to search your room, just one night, escape the pursuit, and tomorrow they will leave." ”

Ji Lun was speechless, and seeing that little Helen was already dressed, he let the door open.

The three young men, Yang, Liu, and Lin, hurriedly thanked them, and when they came in, they were also stunned when they saw a blonde-haired foreigner girl, and they didn't say much.

The door was closed again, and while they were in a hurry to clean up, Ji Lun simply stopped sleeping, sat on the table and continued to write and draw something, and little Helen held the little white cat and sat on the teacher's bed, staring at the stranger opposite.

Liu Qingming showed a wry smile, his expression was depressed, the accidental ambush in the middle of the mission and the death of his teammates, swimming and fleeing, had consumed too much of their energy, and there were chasing soldiers behind, if they hadn't met Wu Shanxia who had met the old acquaintance, they might have come up and shoot the foreigners they met on the ship directly, killing one was enough, killing two was earning, and they died in the guards' counterattack.

Ji Lun said: "Why were you chased and killed by foreign mercenaries?"

"Because we are members of the Shenzhou Society. Yang, Liu, and Lin said.

Ji Lun nodded and continued his paper homework, without asking much what the Shenzhou Society was, and it was seen that the other party had no intention of communicating now, and the first and last conversation of the night was over, and the ship full of foreigners, the expected pursuers have not arrived, or there is a secret search, but it has not yet affected Ji Lun's room.

............

The next day

Ji Lun sent the three of them out on the deck, and found that there were no pursuers, and the early morning wind blew through the ship with mist, and it was cool and penetrating......

"It seems that the enemy has given up the pursuit. Among the several young people of the Shenzhou Society, Liu Qingming recovered the fastest and spoke to Ji Lun: "We are from the Shenzhou Society. ”

Ji Lun didn't speak, and it had been several years since he came to this world unnoticed.

"The Shenzhou Society was just a martial arts society in the past. ”

"During the war, the Shenzhou Society actively recruited warriors to the battlefield. ”

"The rise and fall of the country, the warriors are duty-bound!"

"However, with the increase of influence, it is obvious that some people have been targeted by some people, and Liu is in a dangerous situation, so I am really sorry. Liu Qingming just said lightly: "Tonight, we will leave." ”

Ji Lun was amazed, the young man in front of him, despite his physical injuries and fatigue, was full of sharpness and spirit in his will, and expressed some of his thoughts impassionedly, and the target of propaganda was obviously Ji Lun.

Ji Lun was speechless for a while...... The hot-blooded young people of this era can't wait to pour out their thoughts when they see strangers?

Liu Qingming also quickly noticed that the other party had little reaction, and couldn't help it: "Why is Brother Ji silent? Is it because I said it badly? Please advise...... Everyone is a young person, so there is no need to worry about face. ”

"I'm thinking about something. Ji Lun said lightly, his eyes were melancholy, the first two young men who called me brother like this, one died at my hands, and the other turned against him.

The three young men were all surprised when they heard this, so they listened to Ji Lun and asked, "What is the goal of the Shenzhou Society?"

"It is to expel the foreigners and revive the empire. ”

"We are willing to throw our heads and spill our blood, not for the ambition of one family and one surname, but for the revival of the Celestial Empire. ”

Ji Lun was a little surprised, and found that these hot-blooded young men were obviously different from Jiang Shan and Fei Shouyi, and said, "You seem to be a little disgusted with the princes?"

"These warlords, Huaxia is destroyed in their hands!"

Liu Qingming is tall, resolute, a typical young man, and he is very imposing waving his hands: "The world is not the world of one person, but these people tie the fate of the empire to their personal body, which is really ****." ”

"And with the great hope of the world, then you should do something, if you can have the old emperor Frans to lead the empire to rise, you can also convince the people of the world!"

"There is no great talent, it is not good to develop industry and military, for the sake of civil war, all rely on foreigners' arms procurement to support tiger skins, and even with the invasion of foreign goods, it is difficult for industry and military to improve, it is precisely the plan of the great powers!"

Ji Lun looked at him with admiration and nodded: "What are you going to do with the Shenzhou Society?"

Liu Qingming showed a smile and said firmly: "If you want the princes to have nothing to rely on, you must kill foreigners, stop foreign goods, and restore China!"

Ji Lun looked appreciative and gave them a different perspective: "Very good, but the foreigners in the concession are just minions, even if you kill all of them, you can't move the foreigners' mother country thousands of miles away, they can send new minions at any time." ”

The three hot-blooded young men were stunned on the bow of the boat, and the river water slapped against the boat in the early morning, and the water surface was mighty, as if they found themselves standing in front of the cliff, and there was no road ahead.

Ji Lun's tone changed: "The ocean is an obstacle, but it is also an obstacle for the other party...... Do you know how many people are on this river steamer?"

Yang and Lin both looked at Liu Qingming, he had the best grades and was good at mathematics, so he made a silent calculation and said, "More than two hundred." ”

"Not bad. Guillen praised and asked, "What about the ocean-going steamer?"

Liu Qingming pondered for a while: "This ...... I don't know. ”

"How long does it take for the ship to come back and forth, and how long does it take to return?" asked Guillen again.

Liu Qingming muttered: "I don't know ......"

"How long does it take for an ocean-going cargo ship? How many tons of materials are combined? Categories of goods, quantity of bulk cargo, seasonal fluctuations in freight volume, cost of transoceanic transportation, organization method, what is the trade demand of various countries? Which country is the shareholder behind which shipping company? Which bank is the handover? Who is the comprador who undertakes the procurement? Who are the princes who support it? What is the competition and cooperation between them? What are the contradictions and interests of the foreign countries behind it? Is there any place to exploit?"

Liu Qingming listened carefully, racking his brains to think about the answer, and the two companions were a little angry: "You know all this secret information?"

"This is all public information, as long as you have the heart, you can find it and calculate ......"

Ji Lun sighed, realizing that he still overestimated them, raised his hand again, and pointed to the flag of the Brietan Empire above: "For example, if the most powerful navy wants to launch an expedition, and the transport ships are mobilized, how many people are carried? How many supplies are there? How many transport ships can support an expedition? How many can support a national war? Is he qualified as a country? Do you dare to fall into the quagmire?"

"What if...... I mean, if all the foreign nations in the world were to join forces to oppress China, what would be the limit of transoceanic logistical supplies? How much would it take to sustain a few years of war? How much local looting would be needed to replenish food? How much manpower and economy would need to be evacuated from the colonies? How many war dividends would be needed to replenish the losses?"

All three of them were oozing sweat from their foreheads, and they found themselves in the dark, completely blank.

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to win a hundred battles, you said that you want to kill foreigners, but about the information about foreigners, foreigners may react...... You don't know anything, you can't save the country with your blood alone, and young people still need to improve their knowledge a little. ”

Ji Lun patted his shoulder, and there was nothing he said.

The kingdom of the world, due to the existence of gods and warlocks, the divine authority of kings - detached from power, may not have the soil for the rise of populism.

The invention of guns and shells may be partially broken, but only partially.

Don't you see the nations, without exception, all are monarchies?

Ji Lun turned to leave, and the blonde Lori at the door of the cabin hugged the little white cat and made a Western-style skirt salute: "Teacher." ”

Liu Qingming was stunned and remembered that the other party had adopted a foreigner girl, and subconsciously became a university professor and a polymath who studied both China and the West, and couldn't help shouting: "But there are not many foreigners' books in China, how to improve the level of knowledge?"

Ji Lun waved his hand and said: "Knowledge is only in books? There must be a teacher in the threesome, search for relevant knowledge along your goal, and you can start the first step on the ship, go to the captain or first mate, send a bottle of wine, hand a pack of cigarettes, and he will tell you the knowledge of river and sea shipping...... By the way, the captain likes red wine, but his taste is limited, you can get the cheapest and inferior red wine with more sugar to cover the astringency, and change the packaging to a famous wine package...... The first mate likes to fish and brag, accompany him to fish, listen to his bragging......"

"Thanks—"

Liu Qingming raised his voice and shouted, until the other party's figure disappeared into the cabin, then he turned around and said to the two companions: "This person is very strong, in all aspects, if only he could become our comrade, it would be good." ”

"I don't think he and we are all the way, you see he is wearing a windbreaker, he is rich, and he has a beautiful little foreign girl......" Yang surnamed Yang said sensitively, and frowned puzzled: "Moreover, he knows the answer to the question himself, right? Why don't you just tell us and let us ask again?"

"This is to let us ask more questions and learn more, and not be beggars who stretch out their hands, which will not go far. Another companion surnamed Lin said.

Liu Qingming nodded, his expression excited: "Just hearing these words today, it is worth the trip, even the high-level of our Shenzhou Society have not thought about these problems, and they just want us to sacrifice like the princes." ”

"How can our Shenzhou Society be on a par with the warlords, are you shaken!" the two companions snapped.

"No, I'm more determined, I have to stick to the purpose, and I want to improve my ......knowledge," Liu Qingming said, and wanted to say something more, but seeing that the two companions were not interested, he had to go to the captain and the first mate alone.

"Hmph, did you say that Liu Qingming was shaken?" The face of the companion surnamed Yang was cold: "When we joined, we swore to save the country with one heart and no hesitation.

"I'm still saying that, no, but be vigilant. The companion surnamed Lin frowned and said. (To be continued.) )
