Sapphire case

34.

A few hours later, dawn broke in the east, and a phone call interrupted Jiang Cheng's dream.

Jiang Cheng turned over when the bell rang, and quickly reached out to grab the microphone: "Hello!"

"Young Marshal Jiang! The Hengzhou Militia has rebelled!

"The opponent's soldiers and horses have approached our enemy's rear. It is roughly estimated that there are tens of thousands of troops in the battle, and they are coming from Huai—du—"

At this moment, the General Army Mansion of Hengzhou, the Jiangnan Garrison Branch, and the border between Shanghai and Hengzhou are under the threat of a battle that is about to come.

The dark clouds that had not been dispelled by the morning light weighed heavily on the top of the city, the north wind blew past the banner of the gatehouse, the voices of people rolled faintly from a distance, and the lone goose howled, passing under the clouds and submerging into the edge of the city.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses poured in from a distance, the flames illuminated the sky, and gray-black gunpowder smoke burned in all directions on the outskirts of the city.

It was a huge army with modern armed forces. Armored vehicles rolled over the gravel-filled road, followed by cavalry and infantry, advancing across thousands of miles from south to north, and the rumble of artillery paved the way for a great momentum. The background music, the world is spinning in an instant, and the sharp fluorescence of the bayonet fills the field of vision.

Jiang Cheng put away the binoculars, and the adjutant Xu Xianrong hurriedly walked to him, and handed over the telegram that had just been conveyed: "Young commander, Shen Yao has withdrawn troops, and our troops in Huainan are limited. Go, we take advantage of the chaos to transfer, avoiding direct conflict with them is the most ideal."

"Transfer?" Jiang Cheng's words were shattered by a close-range bomb|bomb, and he shouted angrily amidst the fragments, "Where else can we transfer?!"

"We planned to transfer four hours ago, but you didn't know where to go..."

Jiang Cheng had received a telegram with a few lines of hastily written words, his pupils constricted visibly, and he gasped for breath almost uncontrollably. Person: "Where is Gu Sheng?! Let me ask you, where is Gu Sheng now?!"

——Be urgent.Immediately to Hengzhou.Jiang Mi.After Zheng has gone deep into the southern bandits, his painstaking efforts have not been in vain, so the boy immediately leads the army to join them.father.print.

"Boom"!

The color of the world changed, the wind and clouds were turbulent, and the roads extending in all directions in Shanghai were blocked by the troops coming in. The sound of killing in front of the sky was loud, and the slogans of overthrowing the warlords resounded in the sky. Caught off the horse, the horse raised its neck and roared, its front hooves soared into the air, and it almost galloped away——

He was suddenly pulled by the reins!

Jiang Chengfei got on the horse!

He understood the meaning of Jiang Zhiya's urgent telegram at a glance, but it was another aspect that really drove him crazy.

Xu Xianrong said four hours ago!

Four hours ago!

At that time, he was sleeping with his sweetheart whom he had been thinking about in the villa in Shanghai, completely ignoring the imminent situation!

A terrifying but clear possibility floated up in Jiang Cheng's mind the first second he saw the telegram, like poisoned juice licking his heart slowly but firmly, and the severe colic made him unable to breathe.

The Hengzhou militia organization came to the Hengzhou General Army Mansion, which is located on the border between Shanghai and Hengzhou. Although Jiang Cheng dominated the northern part of Beijing, he was not the primary target of the Jiangnan Uprising. Assassinating him or destroying his army is of course It belongs to the crusade against the warlords, but killing a Jiang Cheng will not hurt the forces far away in Jinzhou. Even if the army comes over because of the crusade against the Hengzhou warlords, it shouldn't be as powerful as it is now, almost besieging the city!

That is to say, the militia group attacking his garrison at this moment is aimed at him!

With so many people who hate him deeply, who made up his mind and joined forces with the southern bandits to execute him on the spot?

Gu Sheng wasn't around when he woke up, so where is he now?

That devastating possibility swept Jiang Cheng's entire heart, like an invisible hand rubbing mercilessly, his eyes were tearing apart, the corners of his eyes were about to bleed, and the sound of gunfire passed by his side , the horse rushed left and right as instinctively, but the man didn't notice it.

Why……

why!

Why would he do this?

Is he really so naive, trusting Jiang Xu, and believing that following those southerners can make a real "revolution" and escape from his side?

The smoke and dust raised by the artillery fire gradually dissipated, and the outline of the soldier and that person in the mist became clear.When the tall and straight figure of the young man appeared in the center of his line of sight, Jiang Cheng's mind went blank, as if the whole land was overturned at this moment, and everything lost its original color.

A sorrel black-maned half-blood horse came out from behind the armored vehicle, with dark green patent leather military boots on its polished pedals, and the dark trousers were carefully tucked in. A young man in a dark gray hunting suit was sitting astride On the saddle, the gust of wind bulged the buttoned skirt, revealing a part of the collar of the shirt with the ivory collar braced inside. The young man turned his face slightly to the side, his figure was straight and upright, and his white and clear face showed a little coolness. extravagance.

He was sitting on the horse like this, and his eyes glanced down inadvertently, so that Jiang Cheng suddenly confused his identity, as if his soul had been taken away, and he stood there in a daze.

For a moment, all doubts, struggles, anxiety and self-deception, all fantasies and expectations about the beautiful past, all receded like an ebb tide, gradually exposing the chilling truth.

Uncontrollably, Jiang Cheng revealed an extremely sad expression, indistinguishable from laughing or crying.

He said softly: "Gu Sheng, you are making such a big show just to design me?"

Gu Sheng stared at him lightly from five or six meters away, his eyes calm and unwavering:

"Yes."

Jiang Cheng seemed to have expected the result, he took half a step forward, and seeing that Gu Sheng was about to back off, he quickly glanced behind him, and looked up at him: "Are... are you sure you want to go with them?"

The "they" he said refers to the heavily armed rebel army behind and on both sides of Gu Sheng. It is obvious that Gu Sheng's appearance here is not an accident, and it can even be said that it has been planned and carefully prepared - Gu Sheng had already noticed it before him. He had already colluded with the rebel army before, and used himself to delay them for half a day, but now, he only needs to pull the rein and pinch the horse's belly, and turn around to get rid of Jiang Cheng's control forever, and turn to the freedom he longed for for a long time to go.

Jiang Cheng was completely surrounded by the rebels, and the muzzle of the rifle pointed at the deadliest part of his body, but he remained unmoved, and there was something flickering in his eyes, and he questioned his beloved lover:

"Gu Sheng, tell me yourself that you really want to go with him?"

"Really." Gu Sheng turned his head and glanced behind him, his white neck outlined a beautiful outline, it was the arc that made Jiang Cheng's heart turbulent, and he was facing another person at this moment.

That is Jiang Xu.

That man, betrayed his family, betrayed all the superior power he was born with, and devoted himself to the revolutionary struggle of the proletariat without hesitation. At this moment, he was wearing the unified military uniform of the revolutionaries, and was tens of meters away, waving in this direction from afar Gun in hand.

Seeing Gu Sheng, Jiang Cheng lightly waved the revolver in his hand.

Jiang Cheng's eyes were as dry as congealed lumps, he heard his guttural tremor, and asked one last time: "You... really want to go with him?"

This time, without waiting for Gu Sheng to reply, he fired his gun into the sky, and two shots echoed immediately from the opposite side. Unbelievably, the rushing army immediately turned around, and Gu Sheng turned his head in an instant. Blue gunpowder smoke was rising from Jiang Xu's muzzle.

There was a shout far away that was a hundred times stronger than before, and those people pretending to be militiamen suddenly appeared, and when the rebels were caught off guard, they raised their guns and fired.

Jiang Xu's face, tens of meters away, was blurred and blurred and distant from the sudden thick smell of blood on the battlefield.

Jiang Cheng trotted his horse, leaned against Gu Sheng's side, grabbed his arm and folded off the gun in his hand, and whispered in his ear:

"Did you see? You can't go. You are mine! This life can only be mine! Where do you think you can go?"

He pushed the young man who seemed to be overly frightened and stiff in front of him, forcing him to lean into his arms, and stretched out his hand to stuff a note soaked in sweat into his hand, with a soft voice Huan: "Jiang Xu... has always been a move that the old man placed in the south of the Yangtze River. The relationship with Zhou Ren has been prepared for a long time, and the participation in your so-called revolutionary army is also for the purpose of breaking into the southern bandits and making use of them at critical moments. ——like now!"

It was too late to say that, almost at the moment Jiang Cheng finished speaking, the young man hooked the hand next to Jiang Cheng's side, and the well-modified gun came out in response, the young man loaded it with one hand, and raised his arm Reflexive is a shot!

A bullet pierced through the air and penetrated 45 meters straight into the center of the man's forehead!

This is probably a frightening war legend in the world. When the vision is limited and the movement is inconvenient, someone else's gun is used to shoot into the target's head when the effective range is close to the limit and the wind speed, position and distance are difficult to judge. .

Remnants of blood splashed out from the side, and the opponent didn't make a sound, and the body fell off the horse in response, and died on the spot, with no room for maneuver.

"elder brother!!--"

Jiang Cheng blurted out, and the hand that was pinching the shoulder of the person beside him bruised instantly.

Gu Sheng's face was bluish indifferently, his teeth were sunken into a deep mark, the gun barrel in his hand was emitting smoke of soot, a bullet had just been shot from here, passing through a skull... from Jiang Cheng The head of Jiang Xu, the eldest brother and eldest son of Jinzhou warlord Jiang Zhiya.

He didn't hesitate at the moment he drew the gun, and the whole set of one-handed loading movements was smooth and impeccable. The extremely precise shot couldn't be explained except by intuition. The bullet was like an order that it must hit once, and it roared to deliver the will of death. .

Almost at the moment Jiang Xu fell off his horse, Jiang Cheng squeezed Gu Sheng's wrist bone.

There was noise between the sky and the earth, and the sound of bone dislocation was clearly audible, but he was one step too late. The second shot Gu Sheng fired at his chin was snapped off, and the bullet grazed his and Jiang Cheng's cheeks and flew into the sky, rolling His heat is like the aftermath of the dead.

The severe pain of the severed wrist bone took away Gu Sheng's consciousness for a short while, and Jiang Cheng picked him up from the frightened war horse!

"—what makes you think I'm going to let you go? Huh?!"

Jiang Cheng's expression was ferocious and bewildered for a moment, like crazy, he hugged the young man's arms tightly like a drowning man hugging a rotten tree, and when the horse galloped wildly, the wind was savage, and he slapped his face and snatched away the voice. I don't know who to listen to the oath of flesh and blood.

"Even... I won't let you leave me... No! Never!..."
