Chapter 405: The Angry Warlord of the Republic of China vs. the Educated and Well-mannered Overseas Daughter
Quan Jiu sneered:
"When will you change your lazy habits? You've already joined the team, but you're always so unruly."
Ever since being provoked by Si Jinnian, this second-generation rich kid actually volunteered to let Yan Zheng recruit him into the team, refusing any privileges and starting from the bottom as a soldier.
Yan Yu replied fluently: "Kiss me and I will change immediately."
He had inquired and found out that Si Jinnian was busy with Jincheng affairs and could not get away at all. She came to Tangcheng alone.
Quan Jiu held his chin up in his hand and said seriously: "A kiss is out of the question, but I might consider slashing you with a knife."
Yan Yu did not get angry but smiled brilliantly:
"It's boring. I won't tease you anymore. Leave the people to me. You can rest assured. As long as the Yan family survives in Tangcheng, these two people will be fine."
Quan Jiu held out a fist: "Thank you."
Yan Yu raised his hand, clenched his fist, bumped it with hers, and smiled heartily:
"Don't treat me as a brother. I'm still waiting to steal Si Jinnian's girl."
As long as she doesn't get married, he will always have hope.
………
After resolving the major life events of his daughter and son-in-law, Quan Jiu returned to Jincheng and stayed with Si Jinnian.
After the South went to war, the North also fell into chaos.
Not long after Fan Sheng retreated to the base camp, he was attacked from behind by Si Minnan, severely damaging his vitality and never becoming a force to be reckoned with again.
Just when everyone thought that the battle for supremacy between the eight directions was about to come to an end, several external forces suddenly appeared and forcibly disrupted the confrontation between the North and the South.
The world was in chaos and the number of refugees increased dramatically.
Everyone was swept into the torrent of history, the turbulent waves, and no one could escape.
Even Si Jinnian and Quan Jiu are no exception.
The 27th year of the Republic of China.
The forces represented by the Du family declined, and when faced with foreign enemies, they chose to surrender. However, the faction represented by the Si family resisted to the death and would rather die than surrender.
…
In the 28th year of the Republic of China, Ningcheng fell.
…
In the 29th year of the Republic of China, Tangcheng fell.
I heard that on the day the city was captured, the sound of reading could still be heard from within the city.
Three days later, Quan Jiu received the news of Xu Danbin's death.
At that time, Xu Danbin had already become a famous teacher in Tangcheng. Because he always waived tuition fees for children from poor families and selflessly taught and answered questions, he was called "Mr. Xu" by the people in the city.
Mr. Xu had a wife who was good at singing and dancing.
The couple loved each other very much and lived in harmony. They had a son who just turned two years old.
Because he was unwilling to distort history, Xu Danbin was arrested and imprisoned. On the day of his parade and execution, he let out a long cry to the sky.
"With my flesh and blood, I will pave a path of a hundred miles for future generations, sowing the seeds of eternal cause and effect. I have no regrets!"
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for the sound of gunfire, the man crashed into the red flag fluttering in the wind and died, leaving only his last words, which echoed throughout the ten-mile-long street.
After Xu Danbin's death, his wife and son disappeared and never appeared in public again.
…
Spring, 1941.
On the day of the exchange of fire, the Si family's daughter-in-law, who had not yet married into the family, was injured by a stray bullet and died despite rescue efforts.
The man who received the news of Quan Jiu's death had just come back from the battlefield. According to people present, after hearing the bad news, Mr. Si San vomited blood and fell into a coma.
Just when everyone thought that Mr. Si Sanye would never recover, Si Jinnian woke up the next day.
The man was no different from usual after waking up, without a trace of sadness between his brows.
………
The 31st year of the Republic of China.
After an extremely chaotic battle, the whereabouts of the once famous commander-in-chief of Jincheng are unknown.
Some people said that he was dead and that they had seen his body on the battlefield with their own eyes.
Some people also said that he was not dead. At the junction of the foreign concessions and old Shanghai, there was a crazy old beggar with a broken leg. He looked 70% similar to Mr. Si Sanye. Foreigners who entered the dance hall often felt sorry for him and threw him a dog bone.
On one side is the dilapidated and ancient old street of Shanghai, and on the other side is the prosperous new world of the West. Two completely different worlds began to blend.
Some people say that Si Jinnian represents the feudal and brutal warlord forces, and he deserves to die. In today's world, people have become more enlightened, and the remnants of the warlords who symbolize feudal culture should be sacrificed to give the world a new life.
Interestingly, after two completely different statements came out, a third statement gradually emerged.
Some people said that this Commander Si was once seen in an ancient town in the south where it was always rainy. Beside him was a graceful beauty. The beauty was wearing a sky-blue cheongsam and looked pretty and lovely. When she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were like crescent moons, which was very endearing.
………
The 34th year of the Republic of China.
Many people have forgotten the names Si Jinnian and Liu Jiaojiao.
Except for Commander Xue.
Without Si Jinnian's protection, Xue Cheng struggled and went through untold hardships before finally succeeding in taking over Si Jinnian's old subordinates.
The people who once needed Si Jinnian's protection are now able to stand on their own.
Xue Cheng was a rough man who didn't like to play with literature, but occasionally when he thought of Si Jinnian's teachings late at night, he had to force himself to read military books.
The stronger you become, the higher the possibility of finding the Third Master.
Although the Third Master today is no longer the Third Master of the past.
Xue Cheng's gaze was far-reaching, and his memory jumped back to the day when the news of Liu Jiaojiao's death came.
When the Third Master suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma, everyone thought that when he woke up again, he would go completely crazy.
Xue Cheng also felt so.
After all, as her close confidant, he knew clearly how much the Third Master loved Miss Liu.
But the development of things was beyond everyone's expectations.
After Si Jinnian woke up the next day, he ate and drank as usual, as if everything that happened yesterday was just an illusion and had never happened.
Everyone was surprised, but at the same time, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Now, with internal and external troubles, someone was needed to take charge of the situation. As the backbone, the Third Master must not fall.
But on the third day, Xue Cheng realized something was wrong.
The Third Master would suddenly speak to the air.
Not only that, he would also smile tenderly at the empty room and living room.
He had only seen that kind of smile before his wife passed away.
The Third Master is crazy.
Realizing this, Xue Cheng felt horrified and at the same time, felt a wave of sadness.
Si Jinnian is not completely crazy.
Most of the time, he is very clear-headed, and when faced with military decisions, he is still the rational and calm commander-in-chief.
The only problem was that he always felt like there was someone standing next to him.
The man talked to him from time to time, whispering in his ear. Whenever this happened, he would reveal a gentle and affectionate smile and start talking to himself, discussing which one tasted better, the steamed buns in the east city or the beef noodles in the south city.
Xue Cheng had always hoped that he would recover, but his condition had not improved until Si Jinnian disappeared and his whereabouts were unknown.
He did not let himself go and fell into a dream that he did not want to wake up from.
