Chapter 880 ·War

Bai Rongxuan had an extremely uneasy sleep that night, waking up intermittently and falling asleep again. In a daze, she seemed to have returned to Peiping and met Meng Fansheng with her own eyes.

She really wanted to ask whether her brother's death had something to do with him, and whether those delicate and warm care and attention were due to a conscience?

But every time she spoke, Meng Fansheng always turned around and left without any surprise.

That back view looks like an escape.

Early the next morning, Bai Rongxuan opened her eyes with a slightly depressed look. All the strength in her body seemed to have been drained away. She uncomfortably took out the medicine bottle from under the pillow, preparing to take another heart-nourishing pill to keep her spirits up.

The bottle is empty.

Bai Rongxuan was stunned and called Wu Jie to ask. Wu Jie said, "I have put away the heart-nourishing pills. From now on, you can only take one pill every three days, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it."

Bai Rongxuan said helplessly, "Don't worry, it's not that serious."

"No!" Wu Jie said very insistently, "You can't ignore the future for the sake of the present. You are...this is...destroying the situation!" He carefully considered his words.

Bai Rongxuan smiled slightly, "Yes, the idioms are used so smoothly, but what you want to say is to kill the goose to obtain the egg, right?"

Wu Jie scratched his head in embarrassment, "Hey, these words are so clichéd that they all sound the same. I don't know if I used them correctly. If I said something wrong, Miss Xuan, you must remind me in time to avoid unnecessary mistakes.

Make a bigger and more embarrassing joke."

Bai Rongxuan nodded and no longer insisted on the Nourishing Heart Pill.

Wu Jie then fetched hot water and went downstairs to prepare breakfast. As soon as the two of them sat down, Shang Junzhuo rushed over.

Bai Rongxuan stood up and saluted her, but Shang Junzhuo just waved his hand casually, "You're welcome. Sit down quickly. I have something important to tell you."

Bai Rongxuan saw that her face was solemn, as if something important was going on, so naturally she didn't dare to be negligent. She sat down and looked at Shang Junzhuo seriously.

Shang Junzhuo said, "Something is going to happen in Nanjing City."

Bai Rongxuan blinked and asked inexplicably, "What happened?"

Shang Junzhuo said, "I'm afraid there's going to be a war. I heard that the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army, Yao Peiyuan, had revolted in Chengdu because he was dissatisfied with Zeng Shaoquan's deduction of military pay. The army came straight to Nanjing, intending to oust Zeng Shaoquan from the position of acting prime minister and establish another Ming Dynasty leader.

After the Guangdong Army heard about it, they were led by Zeng Mingwei and rushed day and night, with King Laiqin escorting them. When the two sides meet, it will inevitably be a bloody battle."

Bai Rongxuan asked in surprise, "When did this happen?"

"That's what I just heard." Shang Junzhuo said, "The people in Nanjing City have begun to flee. When you came, did the Dutou side let you go?"

Bai Rongxuan shook her head, "No."

Wu Jie asked from the side, "Is it possible that the river channel at the ferry was closed because of the war?"

"Most likely." Shang Junzhuo said, "Zeng Shaoquan may have been worried that Sichuan troops were pretending to be sailors and sneaking into Nanjing. Finally, they cooperated inside and outside to catch him off guard. Although Nanjing is the capital of a country, its defensive power is really limited, and Zeng Shaoquan has many more people at his disposal.

Without military power, there is really no one to use, and now we can only wait for the Guangdong Army to rush to support us."

Bai Rongxuan's mind was confused and she was still a little unclear, "Then what should we do now?"

Shang Junzhuo looked at her deeply, "I will take you to the police station to claim Xiuzhi's body. After cremation, you can take his ashes back to Hangzhou. If it's too late... I'm afraid you won't be able to leave.

Already."

Bai Rongxuan said, "But my uncle and Brother Xun are still on the way..."

Shang Junzhuo said, "You don't have to wait for them. They probably won't be able to reach Nanjing. If the war breaks out, the news will definitely spread, and then your uncle will be stopped on the way. What's more, you are in his

If you set off later, he didn’t even know you had arrived in Nanjing. If the war cannot be calmed down for a long time,

If you say that, he will naturally find a way to go home, and it will be the same when you meet at home." Shang Junzhuo said with some worry, "What worries me most right now is the police station, over there.

People are not easy to talk to, and things are being delayed by them, and we don’t know how long it will take.”

"If it doesn't work, just use money." Bai Rongxuan became a little nervous when she heard the word war.

In her previous life, when she went to Peking with Wu's mother, she had traveled through a war zone and witnessed the wreckage after the war. The horrific scene still clearly stayed in her mind, making her terrified every time she thought about it. At that time, ordinary people wanted to travel through time.

In a war zone, it is impossible to go alone. Everyone forms a gang and moves forward and retreats together. This way, we have each other to rely on, and there is a helping hand by our side if anything goes wrong.

The helpers. Bai Rongxuan and Wu Ma were crowded among a group of people. Everyone carefully went out in the dark. Everyone was worried and did not dare to breathe. The surroundings were filled with the smell of choking smoke and sulfur. There were people in the team who understood.

The old man explained that it was the smell left after the bomb exploded. The gray earth was burned to nothing but ashes, and even as he walked, he could see burnt corpses that had not been collected in time. The timid ones

The woman was so frightened that she began to cry. Bai Rongxuan held Wu's mother's hand tightly. The two supported each other and gave each other the strength to rely on. They walked all night, but they did not make it even one-third of the way.

. Everyone hurriedly hid in the abandoned trenches. After surviving the day, they continued on their way at night. Some people thought that this speed was too slow. Although they could help each other if they hugged each other, the old, weak, women and children in the team would also do the same.

It slowed down the pace of others. Some people began to plan secretly, and soon they gathered a small team and hurriedly hit the road before it got dark. The old man who led the way shook his head and said nothing. But when everyone was halfway through the journey that night

When they arrived, they saw their corpses, covered with bullet holes and lying in a pool of blood. Every time Bai Rongxuan thought of such a scene, she didn't want to experience any war again.

She looked at Shang Junzhuo and gradually calmed down, "As long as I can get my brother's bones back as soon as possible, I won't hesitate to spend more money. I brought some money with me when I went out this time, so you don't have to worry."

Shang Junzhuo said, "If you can do it without money, it's better to do it without money. These people are all leeches who can't get enough to eat. How many people are there in the police station? After all, no matter how much money you have, it won't be enough. What's more, once

Once you get stuck with these people, you will never be able to get rid of them."

Bai Rongxuan was not familiar with the situation in Nanjing City. She could only say, "I will follow Miss Shang's arrangements."

Shang Junzhuo then said, "You stay in the inn and wait for news. Wu Jie and I will go to the police station to have a chat and see what those people say."

Bai Rongxuan immediately said, "I'll go with you."

Shang Junzhuo refused without thinking, "Given your current situation, you're probably going to collapse as soon as the wind blows. If you follow me, you won't be able to help us. Instead, you'll only cause trouble for us. Obediently wait here."

, if everything goes well, we will be back soon."

Bai Rongxuan had no choice but to give up when she thought of her feeble body.

Shang Junzhuo took Wu Jie out.

Bai Rongxuan stayed in the room and waited anxiously for the news, but they still didn't come back until noon.

It must not have gone well, right?

There was movement outside the door. Bai Rongxuan watched nervously, and as expected, there was a knock on the door.

Bai Rongxuan's heart felt like it was in her throat.

Unexpectedly, the waiter's voice sounded outside the door, "Mr. Bai, I'm here to bring you lunch."

Bai Rongxuan was extremely disappointed. She hurriedly put on her hat and said feebly, "Come in."

The waiter opened the door and walked in with a smile on his face, "Mr. Wu and Miss Shang beside you specially told me before they left. I will put it on the table for you. Just call me when you finish eating and I will clean it up."

dishes."

Bai Rongxuan nodded and thanked him.
