She looked ahead calmly, looking composed and composed, as if she could remain calm even under the pressure of a mountain.
Marshal Ye?!
Several people were shocked.
After a while, Zhou De stammered, "Marshal Ye?"
——The voice was tentative.
"Yeah." Bai Zhi nodded and responded.
Zhou De and the others looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Can the eldest daughter also be Marshal Ye? !
Yes, of course!
Ever since the Marshal's death, the eldest lady has changed.
She was both brave and resourceful. It was her arrangement that allowed them to rescue her. It was also she who set the fire, allowing them to enter the Ye Mansion smoothly. At the same time, it was she who defeated all the pursuers alone!
Why can't she?!
The man who originally only wanted to rescue Ye Baizhi but was actually confused and had no direction for the future, suddenly seemed to have found hope and his eyes lit up.
They used to follow Ye Chengjun, and now that Ye Chengjun is dead, isn't it only natural that they follow Ye Baizhi, now Ye Shuai?!
"Marshal Ye!" Li Fuyu shouted excitedly.
"Marshal Ye!" Chen Jianye roared.
"Marshal Ye——" Liu Li shouted even louder.
Bai Zhi nodded, a smile forming on her lips: "Well, go check the car."
"Ah, why do you want to check the car?" Liu Li, a big guy with a dull look, asked blankly.
Zhou De was the boss. He slapped him on the back and shouted, "Whatever Marshal Ye tells you to do, just do it! Do you have any right to question it?!"
"Oh oh oh, I was wrong!" Liu Li immediately hung his head.
The four of them hurried to check the cars. Finally, Chen Jianye reported: "Marshal Ye, one of the cars has been damaged, but the other two can still start."
After a pause, he added in confusion, "Marshal Ye, shouldn't we leave quickly? Jiangcheng will definitely not let us go. The second group of pursuers should be here soon."
Bai Zhi: "Of course we're leaving, but we're driving."
Chen Jianye: “!!!”
Zhou De hurriedly said: "We don't know how to drive!"
Bai Zhi: "I can."
Zhou De: “???”
Several people were shocked again.
Seeing that they had cleaned the car, Bai Zhi walked over and skillfully chose the best one among the two drivable cars.
The cars were all of the same model, so Bai Zhi asked them to help take off the wheels of the other cars.
He even took the oil from other cars and took it away with him.
The guns on the ground and the enemy's bullets, dry food and water were all swept away.
Bai Zhi was driving, Zhou De was sitting in the passenger seat holding Jiang Xiaotian, and the remaining three were sitting in the back. The car was driving forward along the dirt road.
Riding in a car is definitely more comfortable than riding a horse. At least my inner thighs won’t hurt.
On the way.
"Marshal Ye... When did you learn how to shoot and drive?"
“It used to be possible.”
"Marshal Ye, you are so capable, why does the Marshal always worry that you can't survive in this chaotic world..."
"Because he's my father."
"Marshal Ye, when did you start wearing glasses? You really look like a cultured person."
"Bah, stop talking nonsense, Marshal Ye is a man of culture!"
"I mean..."
…
Along the way, everyone chattered, and even Jiang Xiaotian, who was held in Zhou De's arms, smiled.
They never thought that after escaping in such a "miserable" way, they could still sit in the car and move forward so easily.
at night.
The group stopped at a dilapidated temple and sat on the ground.
Ye Baizhi sat at the top, Jiang Xiaotian stayed behind her obediently, and the other four sat respectfully at the bottom.
Zhou De took out the map and began to analyze——
"We're probably here now. Going forward is Yang Province, where Marshal Wang lives. Bandit Wang has a good relationship with Jiangcheng. If we go to Yang Province, we might not be able to survive there, so we'll have to go through Su Province."
Li Fuyu nodded. "Yes, but we can't be sure whether Marshal Zhou from Su Province will side with us or Jiangcheng. The only way is to go north to Marshal Deng's place. He has a good relationship with the Marshal and will definitely be willing to protect us."
"Yes, I also agree to go to Marshal Deng's place. There are relatively fewer wars in the north. Once we get to Marshal Deng's place, we can plan for revenge later!" Chen Jianye agreed very much.
Liu Li scratched his head and nodded.
Bai Zhi didn't say anything. She looked at the map, remained silent for a moment, then raised her hand and pointed at a location with her slender finger.
"Let's go here."
Zhou De and the others' expressions changed drastically.
"Northern Province?!"
"No, Marshal Ye. Although there is no warlord ruling the Northern Province, it is too chaotic. No one is willing to manage it, and no one can manage it! The coastal area is in the hands of the Japanese, and there are also leased territories from other countries. Fights often break out there." Zhou De disagreed.
Chen Jianye nodded. "Yes, a few years ago, several warlords sent troops together and just fought against the Japanese there, and they... they were defeated. Now it's very chaotic there. Ordinary people can hardly survive, and every year countless people flee south."
"I don't know the specific situation in Bei Province. I only know that Feng Kunjun, the warlord of Liao Province next to Bei Province, is a two-faced person. Our Marshal often scolded him before!" Liu Li interjected.
Bai Zhi understood their disapproval. She looked at the map, her eyes fixed on the location of the Northern Province, a murderous look flashing in her eyes.
"No, this place may be a death place for others, but for me, no place is a death place!"
"Go to the Northern Province. The word peace starts from the Northern Province."
Bai Zhi's voice was firm and unyielding.
During the Republic of China period, there was chaos, wars everywhere, and the people were living in misery.
But there has never been a place as chaotic as the Northern Province. Along the way, there were corpses everywhere, and people who were starving to the point of being just a bag of bones were often seen.
The land, which should have been fertile, became extremely desolate due to years of war.
They had just entered the Northern Province and encountered something as soon as the car entered the first village -
The Japanese entered the village and the villagers were "offering tribute". A group of starving men were pointed at by the Japanese with guns and could only kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
As the car approached, all the villagers and Japanese looked at them.
This car has experienced a lot along the way. They are not afraid of danger, but the main problem is that the road is not good, basically it is a dirt road. Even if they specifically drive along the official road, the car is still severely worn out.
But it is a car after all.
It immediately attracted attention.
"Who are you?" A man spoke the local language, which was not very pure, with a Japanese accent.
The muzzles of the guns were all pointed at them, with a look of condescending contempt.
"Hey, what are you doing?" The car window rolled down, Zhou De pressed Jiang Xiaotian's head down, and then looked at the Japanese.
In the back row, Chen Jianye and his men all pointed their guns at the Japanese.
Bai Zhi ignored it and drove the car next to them.
She took a look from a distance and her brows instantly furrowed.
All the villagers were dressed in rags, with pale faces and thin bodies. A child was lying on the ground. He had only a few pounds of flesh on his body, a big head and a small body, as thin as a matchstick.
He had been shot dead. Bai Zhi knew it at a glance - the shooter had poor aim and fired two shots.
Obviously, the child died in agony.
The child stretched out his hand towards a piece of meat. There were also several pieces of bacon and a broken plate scattered on the ground.
When the Japanese entered the village, the villagers offered them rare bacon.
But the Japanese were not satisfied and immediately overturned the plate. The child was extremely hungry and subconsciously tried to pick it up, but was beaten to death by them.
There was another man next to him who was held aside by several men and had his mouth covered.
He was also in tattered clothes and looked extremely thin, but he stared at the Japanese with fierce eyes.
——That child might be his son.
But the villagers stopped him, not because they were on the Japanese side, but because they were afraid that he would die.
It's really ridiculous. Many of these people probably can't even fill their stomachs, but they are forced to offer food to these Japanese. Because it's just bacon, they don't like it and even throw it on the ground.
Killed another starving child.
Bai Zhi didn't say anything. She looked so calm, but her eyes stared at the Japanese without any emotion.
——Only 444 knew that the devil was angry.
"Assholes, you actually pointed your guns at our Taijun, you know--" a Japanese man said angrily.
This is intended to threaten and intimidate them.
"Get down!" Bai Zhi suddenly shouted, interrupting him.
The tacit understanding they had along the way led to the three people in the back row, Zhou De and Xiao Bitian in the front row, all lying down instantly and hiding inside the car.
"Bang, bang, bang—" a burst of gunfire.
Change another one.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
Change it again.
"Bang, bang, bang——" Another series of gunshots.
Those twenty or so Japanese were all lying on the ground.
“Ahhhh—”
"asshole!!"
"I'm going to kill you!"
There was a lot of wailing.
Bai Zhi wasted more than twenty bullets on them because - she hit their wrists and disabled their hands.
The first round crippled the hands holding the guns, and only a few people had time to fire, but none of them hit the target.
The other hand was disabled in the second round, and both hands were completely disabled.
More than twenty Japanese people were rolling on the ground and wailing.
The villagers were so frightened that they fell to the ground, their faces pale.
When Zhou De and his men saw that the fight was over, they got out of the car, picked up a gun, and shouted, "Come on, kill them!"
No villager dared to move.
"Kill them, don't you want to kill them? Use a gun, a hoe, or whatever you want!" Liu Li roared.
The first one to take action was the man with his mouth covered. He rushed forward, grabbed the Japanese man's gun, and swung the sharp knife on it wildly at one of the Japanese.
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you for letting you kill my son!!"
Soon, the villagers suddenly rushed forward.
Baizhi did not get off the car.
"Are you scared?" She looked at the child next to her.
Jiang Xiaotian nodded and shook his head: "A little, but more angry, they deserve to die."
"Yes, they deserve to die." Bai Zhi touched his head.
"Are you angry?" Jiang Xiaotian asked.
Bai Zhi: "But getting angry is useless. Solving them is useful."
Jiang Xiaotian nodded thoughtfully.
The Japanese first cursed, then begged for mercy, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed desperately. He was nothing like the lady just now.
All were killed.
It was also at this time that the villagers suddenly realized that these high and mighty ladies who wanted to eat the best food, offer tributes to them, and were high and mighty were actually just like them, human beings.
Zhou De left them two guns and some dry food.
"Where are you going? Killing the Japanese will lead to revenge, and you must leave the Northern Province..." An old man who was too thin to walk steadily came over, his old voice sounded, and his eyes were filled with worry.
"Someone killed them before, and they were retaliated against?" Bai Zhi rolled down the car window and asked.
"Yes, one Japanese pirate was killed and the whole village was slaughtered..." When the old man said this, his body shook again.
The villagers behind him all turned pale and trembled. They were already skinny and bony, and after shaking like that, it looked as if they were about to fall down at any moment.
"You just continue to live here and farm well. They won't retaliate against you." Bai Zhi said lightly.
The villagers were stunned.
The car started, the window slowly rolled up, and her steady voice rang out—
"Hold on, get through this period, believe me, Northern Province will be safe from now on."
"Because Ye Baizhi is here."
When the car arrived outside Beidu, the capital of Northern Province, Baizhi and the others hid the car for a while. Of course, they wouldn't care if it was stolen by someone else.
Several people walked into Beidu.
Beidu was the most chaotic place, and there wasn't even a gatekeeper. They just walked straight into Beidu.
It's chaotic, and there are all kinds of people.
There were signs of fighting everywhere, and there were very few people setting up stalls on the road.
"Northern Province is really chaotic. We have encountered so many things since we entered Northern Province." Zhou De sighed.
They have always lived in the south, fought wars, and experienced chaos, but it was far less exaggerated than in the northern province.
"Marshal Ye, where are we going now?" Chen Jianye asked.
Bai Zhi: "Restaurant."
After saying that, she took the lead and went into a restaurant.
After ordering a few dishes, everyone was hungry, so they started eating seriously.
In Beidu, the people with the highest status are foreigners and Japanese. Basically no one dares to mess with them. When people from the Republic of China meet them, they always have to avoid them.
"Sir, what would you like to eat? We have reserved a private room for you." The waiter welcomed the Japanese in in a flattering manner.
Those men hugged two beautiful women, raised their chins, and walked into the box as if they were superior.
When they went in, some people started talking.
"Another war..."
"Yes, I heard that they were going to fight Marshal Qin from the Central Province."
"Yes, yes. I heard that Japan has been increasing production at its cannery these past few days to provide military supplies!"
…
Someone lowered his voice and said, "Damn Huang Ping, he's producing canned food for the Japanese again. Marshal Qin is a good man, but he's the only one willing to fight the Japanese pirates..."
"Shh! Stop talking! Don't let the Japanese hear you!" The people around them quickly stopped them.
Baizhi and the others ate their meal slowly, and when they finished, they walked out of the restaurant.
Liu Li burped and asked, "Marshal Ye, where are we going next?"
"stay."
"Are we not going to do anything?!" Chen Jianye was a little confused.
"We'll take action at midnight."
at night.
Several people got up, including Jiang Xiaotian.
Baizhi originally wanted to keep him, but he grabbed the corner of Baizhi's clothes and refused to let go, so she simply took him with her.
This child is obedient and doesn't make any noise, so it's okay to take him with him.
They walked directly to the outside of the Huang family, a wealthy businessman in the Northern Province.
"Are we going to kill Huang Ping, the one who supplied canned food to Japan?" Zhou De asked.
Bai Zhi waved her hand and said, "Be polite. We are here to discuss business. The world is in turmoil right now, so perhaps he isn't sincere in providing canned food to the Japanese."
“???” Is Marshal Ye so kind tonight? ?
Why do they feel so psychedelic?!
Huang Ping was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.
The Japanese want another batch of canned food.
How could he possibly want to offer them canned food?!
Why would you offer benefits to the invaders? And you won't even get any money!
But there is no way, if he doesn't give it, he won't survive!
This time, Japan requested too much canned food. Food is so scarce these days, and so many people are starving. Where will they get enough food to provide them with so many canned goods?!
Huang Ping was worried to death.
He was tossing and turning, unable to sleep, when he suddenly felt a sound. He just pricked up his ears, and then, a female voice rang out.
"Boss Huang, I'm here to discuss business with you."
As soon as the words fell, someone turned on the light.
Huang Ping was startled.
Jumped out of bed suddenly.
I saw a young woman in her early twenties sitting next to the table. Behind her stood two strong men with guns and a child.
There were two other strong men, who were...
Stand next to him.
With a gun.
Huang Ping: "..." Is this the fucking posture for negotiating business?!
He swallowed and asked, "Who...are you? What kind of business do you want to discuss?"
Bai Zhi looked at him, slowly took off her gold-rimmed glasses, and nodded to the side: "Boss Huang, please come over and sit down. Business needs to be discussed slowly."
Liu Li pushed Huang Ping to the side of the table, and the fat Huang Ping sat down tremblingly.
He is very fat, which means he has enough food and drink.
But his eyes were dark and his hair was a little bald, which showed that he was under a lot of pressure.
"It's your cannery business. I know you don't make much money running this cannery, and you're always forced to buy and sell by the Japanese. You're very distressed. So, you might as well let me do it." Bai Zhi said.
Huang Ping: "..." Want a cannery?!
He ignored the burly man next to him and raised his voice: "You want my cannery?!"
"Don't be so impatient. I'm talking about cooperation. Just let me run it." Bai Zhi took out a glasses cloth and slowly wiped her gold-rimmed glasses, calm and composed.
"I know that you don't want to cooperate with the Japanese. Then cooperate with me. Hand over the cannery to me, and we will work together to bring world peace." Bai Zhi said with a smile.
Huang Ping: “???” World peace?!
He doubted his ears.
"Boss Huang, I know you're an ambitious person. If the world is at peace and everyone's life is better, you'll be a hero, not a traitor."
Bai Zhi said calmly, "I'm here to discuss business with you sincerely. Although we don't have money, in these troubled times, money isn't important. What's important is peace, world peace. Do you agree?"
"I don't--"
As soon as he made an angry sound, Bai Zhi moved.
She pulled out a gun from her waist and slammed it on the table with a "bang". The cold weapon was placed on the table, full of deterrence. She said lightly, "It's a bit uncomfortable."
Then, she put on her clean gold-rimmed glasses and looked at Huang Ping again, expressionless.
"Boss Huang, I just asked you, do you agree?"
