The next day, many members of the poetry club did not show up. They would naturally suffer the consequences for provoking the police station.
"I heard there's war going on in the north again, fighting over territory. There's no peace anywhere. Today, there were police officers checking people at the gate of Jincheng. What about the two people we rescued?"
Jin Yanyu came from the north and he knew the situation in the north very well.
"In the north, the first shot has been fired in the fight to overthrow the warlords. We in Jincheng cannot lag behind. When there is any injustice, someone must stand up and speak out.
Since we can't send them away for the time being, let them stay in the city. The most dangerous place is the safest place."
After last night, Chen Miaoyi replanned the route. They couldn't continue to follow Jin Yanyu in this clueless manner.
The core members of the poetry society had a profound conversation.
"I don't think we can just resist like this. We don't have guns or weapons, we only have lives. Several students didn't show up today, so we shouldn't gamble with our lives.
What does the country lack most now? Unity! How can we achieve unity if we resist here and let the warlords fight each other?
If it weren't for the identities of many of these people, the police would have probably arrested them all, but they insisted on giving up these identities that were easy to use.
"Student Chen, do you have any insights? We all make progress through trial and error."
“The north is led by the Jin family, and the south is led by the Lu family. I think we should now train the army while awakening the people.
And you, and Lu Nian Di, both of you are people who can legitimately take over the army, so why are you resisting now? This will only increase unnecessary sacrifices."
Silent, Jin Yanyu was a little depressed. The idea he learned was to give up everything he had first, including wealth and glory.
"Look, how many students didn't come?
If we didn't have a backstage, we might have been arrested just like them.
How about this, we set up a magazine, a poetry journal or something, and spread advanced ideas in the newspaper. When we have soldiers, we can start a big fight! Now is the time to recuperate."
They were active, fearless, and full of enthusiasm, but they were too reckless. When the fight really broke out, they fired a reckless shot and everyone present was killed.
"I support Chen's proposal! We are unarmed, so what can we use to fight? The only way is to awaken the people's will!"
"Mr. Chen's words are like a beacon in the darkness. I feel like I've found my direction!"
"Yes, Jin Yanyu and Lu Niandi will be able to gain the greatest power with the least loss in the future. By then, our poetry club will have nothing to fear."
There are obvious ways to minimize the losses, but they have been ignoring them.
"I think this is a good idea. I'll be in charge of the north, and you guys will be in charge of the south. When the time is right, we'll overthrow it in one fell swoop!"
They acted immediately and established a poetry magazine, half of which was written for educated people and half for uneducated people. They used the simplest stories to tell the stories of oppressed people.
Thanks to the fact that the poetry society had a group of ambitious people with no shortage of money, the poetry magazine became more and more famous. At the same time, the North also established the North Magazine. The two groups promoted the same idea.
Mei'er and Shuisheng got married in the presence of everyone. Mei'er was responsible for the logistics of the poetry club. They rarely went out, and when they did, they dressed up in disguise.
Things were going according to her plan.
But after returning home that day, the two met a stranger at Lu's house.
A little girl of seven or eight years old, with two pigtails, was held aside by Adjutant Li and made to stand.
The fifth concubine knelt on the ground, her face full of horror.
"Mom, Mom, get up."
The little girl struggled to pull her up, but the fifth concubine just shook her head at her.
Marshal Lu sat on the chair with a grim face, and felt very angry when he saw the little girl.
"How have I treated you? I redeemed you and gave you pocket money every month, but you've been having an affair with a daughter outside without telling me, and she's this old?
If you had explained the situation at the beginning, I would not have brought you back. This girl might even have become a daughter of the Lu family.
But you insist on hiding it."
This is the Fifth Concubine's affair exposed. She wouldn't think that it was said by the two of them, right? Chen Miaoyi looked at it and found that her favorability had not dropped.
Then how did Marshal Lu discover this little girl?
"Marshal, please spare her. She's only seven years old. She doesn't know anything. She's just a little girl!"
The fifth concubine knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, her delicately made-up face covered with tear marks. The third concubine sat aside, protecting her belly and watching the show.
"It was you who harmed her." Marshal Lu said, waving his hand, and Adjutant Li immediately took the little girl away.
"Marshal! Marshal, please don't! I beg you! Spare her, spare her life, Third Sister, please help me plead for mercy!"
She panicked, thinking her daughter probably had no chance of survival.
"Old Fifth, since we have entered the Lu family, we should serve the Marshal wholeheartedly. Why are you still carrying a child? It's okay to carry a child, but why dare you hide it from us?
My sister is also powerless."
Marshal Lu snorted coldly, "Today I'll let you know clearly whose woman you are!"
After saying this, he picked up the fifth concubine who was kneeling on the ground and carried her upstairs amid her crying and begging for mercy...
Chen Miaoyi quickly ran away to chase Adjutant Li, and Lu Niandi followed closely behind. Adjutant Li carried the little girl to the shooting range and tied her up.
"Eighth Concubine, Young Master, it's bloody here. Please be careful not to get splashed all over."
The little girl was so young, tied to the target, crying for her mother.
"Adjutant Li, she's just a child!"
Adjutant Li remained unmoved, looking like a straightforward man. "I dare not disobey the Marshal's orders."
"Let her go, I'll go and plead with my father."
"Master, you must go and beg for mercy now. If you are late, the Marshal will be angry."
As he said this, he loaded the bullet and aimed at the little girl.
Chen Miaoyi stepped forward with her arms open. "I know whose child the Third Concubine is carrying. If you don't want the Marshal to find out, then let this little girl go."
Lieutenant Li's pupils shrank sharply, and he looked at her in fear. How could she know?!
"Eighth Auntie, I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Then I'll go tell the Marshal now? Do you think he'll believe it?"
Adjutant Li is Lu Qie's right-hand man and knows his temper very well. Even if it is fake, I am afraid Lu Qie will doubt him from now on.
"But I dare not disobey the Marshal's order." He couldn't just let the person go openly, right?
