After Lu Bicheng left, after Bai Yayu walked away, Chen Guangshou whispered: "Sir, this woman ......"

Chen Guangshou has been in South Africa and Northeast China for a long time, and it is rare to see a woman dressed in fashion, at this time, when he sees such a beautiful woman, he can still talk to Yang Rui, and he can't help but hope that Yang Rui can marry her. In fact, Yang Rui's marriage is already a heart disease for many people, the revolution is throwing blood on the head, Yang Rui's generation is single, and he will be thirty years old soon, so it is better to stay early. But Yang Rui didn't think so, the female students sent by Cai Yuanpei were all thrown to Du Yaquan, Zhang Taiyan's daughter was good at age, and she wanted to ask Wang Jitong to be a matchmaker, but Wang Jitong was politely rejected by him after consultation.

"She." Yang Rui didn't have any special feelings for Lu Bicheng, he just felt that this woman was too arrogant, especially when he refused to say her name in the end, for fear that he would be angry, and this person was dressed too luxuriously, very unreal, as Yang Rui, who used to be a dick, was afraid that his wallet was not thick enough when he saw such a woman.

The auditorium lounge stayed for a while, and at half past five, Yang Rui and his party left the school and prepared to return to the concession. Chen Guangshou's ferry ticket has been set, and he boarded the boat at the Zizhulin Wharf in the concession, which is a British steamer, and the ticket price is extremely high, costing fifteen taels per person, but for safety, he has to do so. Now that everything in Tianjin has been completed, the most dangerous section of the trip is the three or four miles from the Tianjin School of Law and Politics to the concession, as long as you reach the Austrian concession, it will be safe.

Yang Rui and Bai Yayu were chatting in the carriage, while Chen Guangshou was looking around in the carriage in front of him, and the closer he got to the Australian Concession, the more patrol police he saw. There are almost every intersection, and after walking for a while, it is close to Dajing Road (now Zhongshan Road). Receiving the report from the front, he pretended to buy something and stopped the carriage on the side of the road.

As soon as the car in front stopped, the car behind also stopped, Yang Rui was puzzled in his heart, Chen Guangshou came over and said, "Sir, the situation is not right." ”

"What's not right?" Yang Rui said.

"Now there are patrols at every intersection. The more you rely on the Australian concession, the more you are, I'm afraid of ......" Chen Guangshou finished speaking, and said: "Mr. Bai should avoid it first." In case something happens, it's not good to be implicated. ”

Yang Rui's face began to become solemn when he heard this, and he also said to Bai Yayu: "Brother Yayu, let's leave it at that." ”

Bai Yayu has a higher level. Some things are still understood in the meeting. I understood the rules of the meeting better, and I didn't pretend at the moment, so I grabbed Yang Rui's hand and shook it: "It's done, you must take care!" ”

Yang Rui didn't say much, nodded and sent him out, and soon, Bai Yayu left in another carriage. As soon as he left, Yang Rui asked with a cold face, "Are the patrolmen targeting us?" How far is it to the Australian Concession? ”

"It doesn't seem to be directed at us. These patrol officers are standing by at the street entrance. After that, he took out the map and said, "In front of you is the Great Warp Road." As long as you follow the original predetermined route, walk two miles from Jwell Road, and you will find the North Canal (now Lion Grove Street, filled in in 1917), and after the canal, you will be the Austrian Concession. "The back of Tianjin Fazheng School is the Xinkai River, sandwiched between Huangwei Road and Yuewei Road, the main entrance of the school is facing Zhouwei Road, turn right out of the gate to Huangwei Road, and then take Jinwei Road from Huangwei Road, through Dajing Road and the North Canal is the concession.

"Standby?" Yang Ruiqi said, "Could it be that there is some big man coming?" ”

"It's not. Zhili Yamen and Xinkaihe Station are directly connected by Dajing Road, and do not pass through other roads. If a big man is coming, he should be deployed on the front line of the Great Meridian Road, but now it is not, but it is deployed in the area of the North Canal, as if he is guarding the concession. Chen Guangshou really couldn't think of what the Tianjin patrol was doing, could it be to arrest Jiangyang thieves? But aren't these thieves in the concession, what are they doing here?

"What time is the ticket?"

"Boarding began at seven o'clock, and the ship departed at half past eight."

"Oh......" Yang Rui was also a little hesitant in his heart, but he immediately put an end to this hesitation, for soldiers, hesitation is the enemy! What an officer fears most is not that he makes a wrong decision, but that he doesn't make a decision. After all, the right or wrong decision is only the probability, but hesitation is no probability.

"Order, the guys! There are also people on both sides of the road, Bai Ru goes first, and goes to Wanghailou Church, which is the highest. After giving the order, Yang Rui looked at the map and said: "In case of fire, everyone will gather at No. 23 William Street (now Jiefang South Road) in the German Concession." If he is arrested, then according to the previous training, the intelligence station in Tianjin is responsible for the rescue. ”

"Yes! Mr. Chen Guangshou was ordered to arrange it immediately, and soon, the five carriages Bai Ru went first, and the other two also turned left and right when crossing Dajing Road, and went to the side road, and the remaining two went to the North Canal dozens of meters apart.

As soon as he crossed the road, Yang Rui saw more and more patrolmen outside in the carriage, and he only felt hairy in his heart, and the hand holding the gun tightened and tightened, but these patrolmen were indeed not aimed at his own line, they were all guarding the intersection and did not block the inquiry. The carriage turned a corner again, from Jinwei Road to Xiangwei Road, and then walked a section to the North Canal pontoon bridge, crossing the bridge is the Australian concession, and it will be safe for the time being. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, lit a cigarette and threw the match stalk out of the window, he suddenly saw a person, a very familiar person, the carriage was not slow, the intersection was fleeting, that person was also fleeting, Yang Rui grabbed the match in his hand, and never threw it, only when the fire burned his fingers, he was startled from the daze, and he said to the guard next to the car: "Turn around, go back!" ”

"Ahh The guards and Ye Yunbiao, who was in the same car, were surprised, they had already arrived at the canal, the bridge was in front of them, and it was safe as soon as they entered the concession. But Yang Rui said at this time that he wanted to turn around?!

"Sir? Can't go back. Ye Yunbiao said, he is Yang Rui's personal guard, when he was asked to be Yang Rui's guard before, the always gentle master suddenly became stern, and asked him to kneel in front of the ancestor and swear that he could only die, not Mr. Die. Ye Yunbiao has been in the Renaissance Army for a long time, and he fully understands what the revolution is, and he understands the importance of Yang Rui to the revolution.

"Go back!" Yang Rui's expression was solemn, and his lower lip was white. He saw Cheng Ying just now. Although she was wearing Chinese-style clothes and her face was darkened, those deep eyes were remembered. I saw that her face was full of panic, and a team of plainclothes patrol officers followed closely behind. Yang Rui's reason had been put aside, and he only felt that he should go back to save her, even if it was ...... Even if she's married.

Yang Rui's words were orders, Ye Yunbiao had not objected, the guards in front had already stopped and turned, and the carriage turned back by the canal bridge. Although Chen Guangshou in front got on the pontoon, he kept staring at the back, thinking that he could breathe a sigh of relief. But he saw Yang Rui's car turn back, he didn't understand what was going on, and when he crossed the bridge and turned around and walked back, suddenly. "Boom" with a loud bang. A fire rose from the street market in front of it, and then you could hear the fierce gunfire and the shouts of the crowd in the nearby market, only someone shouted, "Bomb...... There are bombs......"

*

The assassination group received a telegram from Yang Dusheng yesterday, which said that the five ministers were on extremely strict alert when they went abroad, and that the five ministers had already divided into two waves, that the front Duan Fang and Dai Hongci had already left some time ago, and that he would leave Beijing with Zhenguo Gong Zaize, Shang Qiheng, Li Shengduo, and others in the afternoon of the next day. It is expected that it will be more than six o'clock in the afternoon to Tianjin.

The time was determined, and Zeng Zhaowen, Fang Junying, and others crossed the bridge from the British Concession to the Russian Concession at five o'clock in the afternoon. Then from the Russian Concession to the northwest, through the Italian Concession and the Australian Concession, I just want to turn to Dajing Road along Xiangwei Road, and then follow Dajing Road to Xinkaihe Railway Station. But he never expected that as soon as he got out of the Macao Concession, Xiangwei Road didn't go far after crossing the bridge and was followed by a large group of people. Several other people didn't find out, but Fang Junying was careful, especially when she was in Beijing, she and Zhang Ji were followed, so that she would look back cautiously every time she walked, and then she found that these people had been exposed.

As soon as she told the situation, everyone's hearts were full of shocks, Zeng Zhaowen's face was pale, his head was full of sweat, and he said, "But we have already been out of the concession a few days ago......"

Fang Junying said: "Don't talk about the past few days, they don't want to startle the snake, they want to catch us all." Now if you want to survive, you have to return to the concession, and now we are divided into two waves, I, Xitao, and Kelou in one group, and Shengdong and Cheng Ying in one group, and break through separately. ”

Although Fang Junying didn't say the last two words, the meaning was true, but Fang Shengdong and Cheng Ying just didn't want to, Fang Junying said sharply: "I am the minister, you must obey the order." Without waiting for them to reflect, he took Tang Qunying and Zeng Zhaowen and walked away. Fang Shengtao and Cheng Ying wanted to follow, but she turned around and glared at her, so they had to choose another way and turn around and go to the concession.

Fang Junying made a decisive decision, but no matter how decisive she was, she was already surrounded by the patrol police, if she hadn't wanted to catch them alive, and taking into account that these revolutionary parties had bombs on them, Duan Zhigui and Yang Yide would have sent people to rush forward and arrest them. The situation seems to be clear, and the patrol police who are ambushed everywhere have come out, not only following more and more, but also flashing a lot at the street intersection in front, Fang Junying then looked at Fang Shengdong and Cheng Ying who were walking across the street, the same is true, in order to distract themselves, the two of them are already one after the other.

If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent! I'm afraid I'm going to become a benevolent here, Fang Junying thought in her heart. She was about to turn around and set off the bomb, but she saw Tang Qunying behind her smiling at her, and then ran to the plainclothes patrol behind her.

When the revolutionary party was grouped just now, Yang Yide led a group of people to follow Fang Junying directly, and when he was only thinking about how to arrest him, he saw a small-footed woman with smoke coming towards him, he suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, and he forgot to shoot at all, and hurriedly said: "Withdraw!" Remove! ”

As soon as the captain said to retreat, all the patrol officers were inexplicable, and after hesitating, they saw that Yang Yide had already rolled out a few feet away, and when he was about to turn around and retreat, the revolutionary party in front had already rushed to him, and then with a "boom", he didn't know anything.

The bomb on Tang Qunying's body was huge, there was a large pit of nearly ten meters on the ground, and the air wave after the explosion blew all the shop banners on both sides of the street away, and the glass on the window was shattered.

Seeing that the crowd was already in chaos, Fang Junying immediately shouted: "Stop fighting, retreat, retreat!" ”

Originally, the gunfire was only fired by Zeng Zhaowen and Fang Shengdong, but the long-trained patrol officers were not slow to react, and they quickly came to their senses after the explosion, and they used their spears to shoot at the revolutionary party, but because of the panicked people around them, there were not many guns. It wasn't until Yang Yide, who was almost frightened, came back to his senses and reprimanded them for shooting, that the shootout became intense. It's just that two pistols are against dozens of rifles, and after a while, Zeng Zhaowen was hit by a bullet, but he still wanted to shoot back, and another bullet hit him in the head, and then he fell to the ground.

Zeng Zhaowen was dead, and Fang Shengdong didn't want to live anymore, so he threw away the pistol that ran out of bullets. He rushed out of the corner with the bomb in his arms, and did not run a few steps under the rain of bullets, but his body was hit by several bullets. The bomb in his hand was detonated by the bullet before it was thrown, and with a loud "boom", a dazzling fire exploded in the street, making everyone dare not look directly.

Explosions followed one another. Comrades died one after another. Cheng Ying looked at the patrol officers who were waiting in front of her, and then looked at the gunpowder smoke that exploded after Fang Shengdong's death, and suddenly had a kind of determination in her heart, she turned around and was rushing towards the frightened patrol police, when a pair of strong and powerful arms suddenly hugged her behind her, she was startled, and she was struggling hard. A voice whispered in my ear, "It's me!" Cheng Ying. It's me! ”

The incomparably familiar voice made Cheng forget about struggling, just waiting to be dragged into the street shop. She saw a familiar face, the blood faded, and the once familiar memories came to her heart in an instant, she unconsciously touched the person in front of her with her hand, with a happy smile on her face, but tears flowed in her eyes, and murmured: "Yang Rui, it's you." Am I already dead? ”

Yang Rui saw that she was still stunned, and couldn't bear to frighten her, but he just lowered his head, kissed her cheek, and said softly: "How can I die, didn't I hold you." After speaking, I saw that her body was full of dust, and she seemed to have fallen several times, and she was very distressed, and she felt that she was not by her side, I really don't know how she came over in the past two years, doesn't his husband love him? I really shouldn't have left her!

After hugging each other for a while, Yang Rui's blazing breathing brought Cheng Ying back to her senses from the illusion, and the fierce gunfire suddenly sounded in her ears, and suddenly she pushed Yang Rui away and said hurriedly, "You go quickly!" Don't come near me, I'll get you covered. I'm ...... Leather."

Yang Rui only hugged her and said softly, "No." I'll take you out! With that, he pulled out a revolver and said with a smile, "I'm quite accurate with this gun." ”

"You ......" Cheng Ying didn't understand how the simple and strict man before he became like this, before she finished speaking, Ye Yunbiao leaned over without knowing the current affairs, and said, "Sir, hurry up upstairs, let's go from the roof." The more the patrol kills, the more they can't leave. ”

Cheng Ying looked at him curiously, Ye Yunbiao just saw Yang Rui carrying this pregnant woman into the store, but he didn't know what her relationship was with Yang Rui, but he guessed that it must be very important to make Yang Rui save the person regardless of his own safety. Seeing Cheng Ying looking at him, he bowed and said, "Hello madam." ”

Ye Yunbiao's "madam" shouted Cheng Ying was shy, but Yang Rui's heart was sour, but now was not the time to be sour, when he pulled Cheng Ying upstairs from the store, Cheng Ying suddenly said: "Sister Ying is still outside?" ”

Ye Yunbiao said: "Is it another woman?" ”

Cheng Ying nodded, and Ye Yunbiao said, "Don't worry, it's been saved." ”

Cheng Ying let go of his worries and followed Yang Rui straight up the stairs, the Chinese-style wooden building has always been low, and after going up to two floors, there is the attic, and then through the skylight is the roof. When Yang Rui went up to the roof, not only was there already someone on the roof, but there were also people on the opposite street - Fang Junying was being led by a man and walked towards the end of the long street.

As soon as Yang Rui came up, the guards were by his side, in fact, there was nothing to protect, and now it was Bai Ru who was on the roof of the Wanghailou Church in the patrol shootout, she was not using a modified sniper rifle at this time, but an original gun, and it was no longer a sight barrel, but a 2.5 times Zeiss scope of 3,700 marks, and with a silencer device, the killing was completely invisible.

The patrol officers on the streets only felt that all the revolutionaries were gone, and they saw that their brothers were constantly being shot, but they did not know where the bullets came from, and everyone shrank their heads and did not dare to move. At this time, Yang Yide, who was hiding at the base of the wall, covered his face cut by bullets and shouted urgently: "What a group of mallets!" The revolutionary party must have gone into hiding, and they didn't give me a search of each shop! ”

You can do anything, as long as you don't expose it to the street, the patrol police are like being amnestied, and hurriedly go to the shops on both sides of the street one by one to check it, Yang Yide saw the patrol and arrest one by one, and endured the great pain and scolded: "Lao Tzu has more than 1,000 patrol policemen, and he will not be able to find these revolutionary parties!" ”

It is actually not difficult for more than 1,000 patrol officers to find a few people, but Yang Yide and Duan Zhigui have not found out people. At eight o'clock in the night, Yang Rui took Cheng Ying back to No. 23 of the German Concession, and everyone who stayed behind was overjoyed to see that Yang Rui was fine, and looked at Cheng Ying, who was wearing patrol pants and holding hands with Yang Rui, and was very puzzled.

Yang Rui's face seemed to be a little red when everyone saw it, and he changed the topic and said, "What about Chen Guangshou?" ”

"Even... Boss Chen hasn't come back yet, but when Mr. is back, he'll be back. "It was Yu Laogen, the old pickpocket of the guard company, who stole chickens and dogs, and couldn't shoot and kill, so he could only stay, his eyes have always been bright, and he could count a few hairs through his clothes.

Yang Rui is actually not worried about Chen Guangshou's safety, he has already left someone to explain Chen Guangshou before he goes to save people, and the people on his side are just watching from the periphery, and they really want to help Yang Rui will blow the whistle. Seeing that Yu Laogen's thief eyes were still looking at him, Yang Rui pulled Cheng Ying and was about to go to the back room, but Cheng Ying didn't want to leave, guessing that she was worried about another woman, Yang Rui said again, "Has anyone rescued anyone else?" Afraid that Yu Lao Gen would be puzzled, he said, "It's a girl." ”

"There are no girls." Yu Laogen said that he endured it and endured it before he said: "Sir, this girl's stomach is ......."

Speaking of Cheng Ying's belly, Yang Rui is head is big, I really don't know whose seed is in it, Cheng Ying heard it and said, "This is a bomb." He glanced at Yang Rui and said, "Find a room, I'll go and untie it." ”

The word bomb made Yang Rui stunned, he thought she was married and pregnant, but he never thought that there would be a bomb inside. After he was overjoyed and surprised, he dragged Cheng Ying to the room and asked, "Why do you want to tie up the bomb?" ”

Cheng Ying didn't understand that Yang Rui was so excited, and said: "If you don't bring it in like this, Sister Tang, they ......" Speaking of this, I was sad in my heart, Fang Junying's bomb was in Fang Shengdong's hands, and the previous explosion must have been Tang Qunying, thinking that those living people were now dead, Cheng Ying's tears flowed down again, crying: "The fourth sister-in-law is dead, Brother Zhang is also dead, and the seventh brother and Sister Tang, they are all dead......"

The more Cheng Ying said that the more sad she became, from the afternoon to now, she has been in an inexplicable state, first the death of Fang Shengdong, and then the sudden appearance of Yang Rui, and now, after confirming that she is safe, the fear, sadness, and helplessness that had been suppressed before suddenly hit her heart, and she hugged Yang Rui and cried.

Although Cheng Ying was crying, her crying voice was very low, but her body was twitching badly, but the more she cried like this, the more distressed Yang Rui became, while hugging her, his hand touched her waist again, untied the bandage, and then carefully put the bomb aside, and then stopped her waist and picked her up, went out to the other corner of the house, sat on the stool, looked at her crying fiercely and didn't know how to persuade her, just kept holding her back with his hand, and waited quietly for her to finish crying.

Surrounded by the crying person in his arms, Yang Rui suddenly felt that his life was not only a state of revolution, the thousands of acres of pine in the northeast made him think so, and today's love also made him think so. But what is the ultimate meaning of life, isn't it the great cause of the revolution and the hatred of the country and the family? In Cheng Ying's crying, thinking that she was almost crushed, Yang Rui suddenly felt that life should not be why to live, many times it is meaningless, this is like a flower, or a tree, sunshine and rain, spring, summer, autumn and winter, silently living and silently dying, life is just a kind of existence. If you really want to associate it with a certain kind of value, a certain ism, that is a sin. But now, isn't that what I'm doing this kind of sin? Isn't believing in assassinationism and dying with a bomb in your arms, and dying with patriotism and fighting against Japan and Russia all about attaching a so-called meaning to life and then letting life die for it?

I don't know how to turn my mind here, Yang Rui just felt a wry smile, and felt that he was more and more aware of this world as the real world. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have revolutionized, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been unjust for the poor, and if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have loved with burning heat. But is this world real? Just as he couldn't explain his sudden coming, he couldn't be sure of the truth of the world. Before, he thought it didn't matter if it was true or not, but now, he wanted it to be true forever, but what if it was a dream? If this is all a dream, then what is the point of revolution and what is the end of love? (To be continued......)
