The information she had gathered these past few days revealed that Mo Ran was a rare and relatively upright general, and it was such a pity that he died like this.
However, she will help him when necessary; now is not the time.
After Xiao Li left, Mo Ran gave the order to expel the two people from the Marshal's Mansion.
After the fall of Jincheng, Gu Liang and Nie Yun fled to Yucheng.
The Gu family members also got separated, but fortunately the two of them were still together.
That night, I ran into the warlord's guards on the street. They were looking for someone everywhere. They were lucky to run into them and gave me directions.
Afterwards, having nowhere else to go, they followed the commander back to his mansion. Unfortunately, the commander refused to believe that it was Nie Yun who had saved him.
Mo Ran had a brief moment of consciousness. He clearly remembered that the woman had long hair, the ends of which would occasionally brush against his face, making him want to brush them away with his hand.
Nie Yun has shoulder-length short hair, which is not her at all.
However, the guards said that they had given him directions, so they were also his saviors.
Now that their true benefactors are saying they want to drive them away, it's not a big deal for him to be an ungrateful person.
These days, he not only took them in to stay at his mansion, but also bought them clothes and jewelry. He has almost repaid this kindness.
When the two left, they took all their belongings with them, and the commander did not require them to take anything with them.
The two of them cursed and swore, but they didn't dare to cause any trouble and obediently packed up and left.
Xiao Li ran into them on the road, listening to them curse while admiring their pathetic state.
Four thugs passed by and, hearing their voices, came over.
"Hey, there's a little girl here."
A slick-haired young man gestured and pointed at Nie Yun.
"Brother, this girl looks pretty good, she'd be a perfect match for you."
Nie Yun was terrified and dared not utter another sound. Gu Liang was trembling, but he still bravely stood in front of Nie Yun.
"What do you want? We are the General's benefactors. If you offend us, he might shoot you all tomorrow."
A tall, thin man burst into laughter.
"Pah! You were just cursing him, and now you're saying he's the Marshal's benefactor? Do you really think we're stupid?"
"Give me all the money, leave the girl here, and get out of here."
When his elder brother spoke, Gu Liang trembled with anger. He was a cultured man and could not bring himself to curse in the street, much less get into a fight.
The four thugs quickly surrounded the two of them.
"We'll give you money, just let us go. You can have it all."
Nie Yun pleaded tearfully, pulling out all the money she had on her person.
Gu Liang felt extremely distressed, but he also knew that now was not the time to worry about money.
The slick-haired young man touched Nie Yun's face, causing the four of them to scream.
"Hahaha……"
"Again, again..."
Gu Liang couldn't hold back any longer. He grabbed the young man's hand and punched him.
The four men rushed forward and began to beat Gu Liang.
"Slap... slap slap..."
The tall, thin man slapped Gu Liang a few times, and the young man kicked Gu Liang a few times, getting into the swing of things.
Just then, the sound of motorcycle brakes came from the street.
What are you doing?
The four thugs scattered in all directions.
Gu Liang and Nie Yun breathed a sigh of relief; they were finally saved.
Xiao Li secretly lamented that it was a pity; it had only just begun, and people had already arrived.
But those few blows were enough to give Gu Liang a hard time. Xiao Li stopped paying attention to them; in this chaotic world, living was more painful than dying.
She disappeared into the night after a few leaps and bounds, returning to the Hundred Flowers Club.
Just as she returned to her room, she heard a commotion outside. Xiao Li listened carefully and quickly discovered the secret.
The visitor was looking for Master Jin. He followed Master Jin to the study, and the two closed the door.
In the quiet night, Xiaoli could hear even the faintest sounds if she wanted to.
It turns out that Master Jin is a liaison for an underground organization, and the power of the Hundred Flowers Club is just his public identity.
"Old Jin, we need to send another batch of grain, and medicinal herbs are also in short supply. We must find a way to send them over as soon as possible."
"Old Zheng, don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to get the comrades to hold on a little longer. I'll deliver it by the day after tomorrow at the latest."
The man patted Jin on the shoulder and said, "You've worked hard, Lao Jin. After this period, I will apply to the organization to transfer you to the front line. Then we'll fight the Japanese together."
Jin patted Lao Zheng on the shoulder and said, "I'm not tired. It's all the comrades' fault. I'm useless. If only that batch of medicinal herbs hadn't been intercepted last time."
...
The two talked for about half an hour before Old Zheng left.
Xiaoli had a plan in mind, so she walked out of the room and went to the study.
"Bang bang bang..."
A knock on the door sounded in the quiet night, and Jinye came to his senses.
Who's knocking so late? He went to the door and opened it.
"Wen, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Jin Ye let Xiao Li in and poured her a bowl of tea.
"Is there something you need so late?"
Xiao Li picked up her teacup and took a sip. She was really thirsty after running so far.
"Master Jin, can you tell me why you're so good to me? You not only saved me, but also provided me with food and lodging."
Xiao Li's intuition was correct; she didn't sense the slightest malice from Master Jin.
Jin Ye smiled and said, "Don't you remember me? Back in Jincheng, there was a time when I was starving and almost died. You gave me a money bag and helped me get through those most difficult years."
Xiao Li suddenly realized that the original owner was a kind-hearted person who would always give money or food to beggars she encountered on the street.
This is a case of good deeds being rewarded.
"I see."
"Yes, you saved my life. I'm just repaying your kindness, so you don't need to be reserved. Just stay here and relax."
Xiao Li nodded, "Let's not talk about the past. I've come to see you today because I have something important to discuss."
Jin listened with curiosity.
“My maternal grandparents’ family used to make medicine, and I learned a lot from them. I don’t know if any of this knowledge will be of any use?”
Upon hearing this, Master Jin became excited. "Is this true? What kinds of medicines can you make? Making medicine is certainly useful, very useful. As long as you can make medicine, I'll take you."
Xiao Li smiled and named several medicines.
"Heat-clearing pills, hemostatic powder, detoxifying pills..."
Jin was overjoyed and grabbed Xiaoli's hand.
"Sister, you're like my own sister. I desperately need these medicines. I'll take as many as you have."
Xiao Li watched him quietly, then took out her hand, picked up her teacup, and drank some water.
"Does Mr. Jin have nothing to tell me?"
Jin thought for a moment, then walked to the door and looked around before closing the door tightly.
"Wen, I can tell you are a kind-hearted person, and I'm sure you also have a patriotic heart."
Now, I'll tell you, I'm actually part of the organization. You've mentioned these drugs, so you must know something."
