On the other hand, it wasn't that big of a deal. Although he recovered a little after eating and drinking on the boat for two days, [-] meters was no joke after all, and the sea was so cold that he didn't want to die in the belly of the fish.

He stayed under the hull for a while, and took off a small life buoy. This thing can be used at critical moments, and it is worn around his neck. He is really tired. At least it can prevent him from sinking into the sea.

Well prepared, he thought to himself, as long as he gets close to Dagu Port, there should be someone of his own who can save his life.

For the rest, just treat it as a winter swim and leave everything to fate.

It was only dawn early in the morning, and the sentinel on the tower opened the door, stretched his waist facing the sea, and suddenly saw a road lying on the beach from the corner of his eye, and then rubbed his eyes, there was a black but not sleazy dog ​​beside the road. Something that seems to be an inflated lifebuoy.

This is new, where did people come from?Could it be that it floated from the sea last night? Could it be a stowaway?

Because Dagu Port is close to Gyeonggi, the law and order has always been very strict. After so many years, I haven't seen many stowaways.The sentinel hurriedly got off the tower, and saw that Lu was dressed in Han Chinese clothes, lying motionless on the beach, and did not wake up after being kicked twice, so he simply turned him over.

One look at that face, it is really ugly and almost dead, sniffing, but there is still breath.

The sentinel summoned his companions to carry him into the barracks, searched carefully, and found a guide and other things that could prove his identity from the person. It turned out that the person's surname was Tong Mingze, and he was a good citizen from Kyoto.

But then, they took out a gun from this good man, and things suddenly became intriguing.

Dayan implements gun control, and of course ordinary people cannot own this thing. After thinking about it together for a long time, several big-headed soldiers felt that there was something wrong with this person.

At the same time, he was completely exhausted. He was held by his neck and fed two sips of water, and woke up from choking.

When he moved his body, there was a rattling sound above his head. He didn't have the strength to turn his head, but he could catch a glimpse of him—his right hand was pulled over his head and locked in an iron chain, and the other end of the chain was tied to the head of the bed. on the iron shelf.

"I said, the surname is Tong, isn't it, from the capital?" The sentinel wiped the water droplets splashed on his face and asked, "Where did this come from? Why did he fall on the bank so quietly. "

At the same time, he looked at the uniform on the man, and after a long time, he finally determined where he was.

Even though his wrists were locked, he suddenly felt at ease in his heart, and even the clothes soaked in seawater didn't seem particularly cold and uncomfortable when he stuck to his body.

God bless, finally let him swim back.

The same man was about to answer, but unexpectedly his upper and lower lips were stuck together, so he had to forcefully tear off a layer of skin, and immediately tasted a fishy smell on the tip of his tongue, panting, and then began to tell the story intermittently and weakly.

There are mixed truths in it, nothing more than that when doing business abroad, the news was interrupted due to the war, and worried that the relatives at home would worry about it, so they took the opportunity to board a British merchant ship and returned to their hometown.

He didn't say that he went out with Pei Jin, and he didn't mention the name at all.

I'm not sure whether Pei Jin's "lawsuit" is over or not. The thing I'm most worried about all this time is nothing more than this matter. If the trouble has not been resolved, he naturally can't add trouble to Pei Jin.

"What I said is true, and I'm not...not a bad person. You can go to Kyoto to verify your identity. I just want to go home."

The sentinel listened without saying a word, thinking that this man's will is really strong enough, he actually swam three sea miles in a daze, he was exhausted, his jaw and lips were trembling when he spoke, but his eyes were looking at him. There is also a sense of cleanliness and magnanimity.

After observing for a moment, the sentinel felt a little bit sad, "It sounds rough enough, if you want to say it this way, you should rest first, and we will talk about other things when you recover. But your physical strength is really good, it can be seen that you are still young and forbidden. toss."

After finishing speaking, he didn't explain why he locked him, but only indicated that he could continue to sleep.

The sentry returned to the barracks and looked at the official document on the table. It was issued by the Ministry of War earlier, asking them to pay close attention to all the recent single entry by seaside defense, and report it immediately if they find anything unusual.

Is this considered unusual?No matter from the perspective of swimming ability or carrying guns, the sentinel thought about it and decided to report the abnormality to the peak.

In the main hall of the Kyoto Military Aircraft Office, a group of people were discussing steam locomotive rails in full swing.

A line runs from north to south, and a line runs from east to west, and a special line is set up in Beijing and Tianjin. This will not only facilitate the transportation between Jiangnan and Kyoto, but also quickly transport military supplies to the southeast coast during wartime.

Jin Sheng pointed to the front line from Kyoto to Jinan, and said, "The funding for this section has been settled. After that, the locomotive coupons will be issued. At present, the four major thoroughfare ticket companies have responded, and fundraising in the future should not be a problem. It's just that the cabinet is late. There has been no reply, and once it starts, the funds cannot be cut off.”

When everyone heard this, their eyes all turned to the number one fighter who was looking out of the window.

I saw that the master was not in a hurry, and said leisurely with his hands behind his back, "It's just a matter of talking and handing it over to someone to issue it. Let's bid, it's fair and fair, carefully check the property status of the participating ticket numbers in the past three years, and the account transfer department The strict actuary came to help."

"Well, in fact, if we want to talk about the delay, it's because those related households can't get in, and I feel itchy and uncomfortable." Jin Sheng continued with a smile on his face, "The account of the railway occupation of forest land and farmland is still on the cabinet desk. So, Master Cao suggested to go to investigate in person to make a decision, it is related to people's livelihood, and it must not be perfunctory."

Before he finished speaking, he saw one of Marshal Pei's personal guards rushing over and standing under the window, apparently he had something to report.

Pei Jin glanced at it, showing a bit of absent-mindedness, "Let them go, write a detailed method of bond issuance, and go to the cabinet for review." After speaking, he nodded and signaled the guard to come in.

"Lord Hou, this is a report from the coastal defenses of various places today. A man carrying a gun was captured at Dagu Port last night. It is said that he first took a British merchant ship and then swam from the offshore."

After the words fell, Pei Jin and Jin Sheng exchanged glances across the air.

Pei Jin said, "Let me see."

Open it and scan it, and the word revolver is particularly eye-catching. Looking at the name again, Pei Jin's eyelids twitched.The heart that had been hanging for so many days finally fell back into the cavity at this meeting, and in a trance, there was a sense of stability once the dust had settled.There was no time to think about it, but he habitually said to Jin Sheng in a calm tone, "Come with me to Jinmen."

Jin Sheng glanced at the booklet, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Going to inspect the Beijing-Tianjin railway line? Then I'll ask someone to arrange it."

With such skill, Pei Jin left the gate of the military aircraft office early, and said without looking back, "No, follow-up follow-up."

The fellow in this room had enough food and water to talk to the sentinel guarding him. He said sincerely that he couldn't run, and he didn't have the ability to run. Tell him not to leave the house at will, and wait for the order from above.

It was so easy to come back, and it was only a hundred miles away from Kyoto, but it turned out to be less free than overseas.

At the same time, he tried to negotiate, "This trivial matter should be reported to the Ministry of War? I can actually explain the gun. When you go out, you must have something for self-defense. It was ransacked by pirates over there. You will know as soon as you ask, oh yes. Alright, may I ask which adult from the Ministry of War is in charge of this matter?"

The sentinel thought that his words made sense, but the military orders were so overwhelming that they could not be disobeyed, so he responded, "It's the order from Mr. Jin himself, just wait. The adults are busy laying the railway tracks recently, so I'm afraid I don't have time to talk to you." "He was still kind, looked at the same one again, and comforted, "Just recover your body. Don't worry, we are already at the door anyway, and we have to implement the military order."

At the same time, he said nothing, thought for a moment, and felt relieved. Since Jin Sheng was still in charge, perhaps Pei Jin's lawsuit had already been closed, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Unexpectedly, after noon, the sound of prudent footsteps suddenly stopped at the door.

At the same time, his subconscious nerves were tense, and he saw the door being pushed open, but a familiar person walked in.

Startled, he stood up at the same time, "Master Jin?"

The moment Jin Sheng saw his face, he couldn't help gasping, thinking that he hadn't seen him for more than a month, why did this man make a big difference to himself?

Not to mention how embarrassing he is, his clothes are not ragged, and his face is neat, but his cheeks are sunken, his face is still sallow, and his upper lip and chin are unshaven. He looks like a young man with handsome eyebrows, and he looks like this. appearance.

Thinking of the person who was sitting in the car waiting a hundred meters away, Jin Sheng felt his head grow bigger for a moment.

"My lord," Tong Ze didn't bother to notice his melancholy, and couldn't restrain himself from asking, "Third Master... how are you?"

When Jin Sheng heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and an indescribable indignation suddenly surged in his heart.

One is the one who hears the news at first, pretending to be calm but rushing to pick it up anxiously;

It's all like this, the two of them just cross the Ming Road, can you be more aboveboard, don't put others in the middle, and make things right for them without embarrassment!

Jin Sheng had only one thought at the moment, which was to regret it so much that he promised someone to make such a trip.

Fortunately, no one around realized who the "Third Lord" really was, they only thought that the two of them were old acquaintances.Jin Sheng then nodded his head lightly, as a response, turned his gaze a little, and suddenly saw the iron shackles hanging down.

"What's going on here?" Lord Jin asked in surprise, his tone raised slightly.

The servant of the Ministry of War and the important officer of the military came in person, and the general of the Dagu Port garrison naturally came to accompany him. He heard the question and hurriedly answered, "This person is unknown and has a gun. The general thinks it is very suspicious, so he ordered Next, lock this person up and take care of him."

After finishing speaking, he signaled his subordinates to present the handed-in revolver, "Look at it, my lord, it's this one."

Jin Sheng glanced at it, he was actually very familiar with that thing, and he and Marshal Pei confiscated it from the shogunate together, so he hummed in a flat voice, "Then why is it unlocked again?"

The general hesitated, "He just swam three sea miles the night before, and he couldn't run at all. After thinking about it later, it was unnecessary. In fact, it is his fate to be alive now."

Jin Sheng snorted, thanks to the self-control and rationality of the person in the car outside, he didn't come in to pick him up, otherwise he would see someone being guarded and treated like a prisoner... He looked around and thought to himself, "In the past three to five years, everyone will be in prison." I'm afraid he will be implicated to some extent in his promotion.

"My lord, do you recognize this person?" the general looked at him carefully and asked.

Jin Sheng nodded, "It is indeed from Jingdu, and I have met me a few times. I will take this person away first."

As he spoke, he couldn't help taking two steps forward, "Can you still go?"

At the same time, he didn't hesitate at all, "Yes." He got up immediately, who knew that he was too eager to show that he could do it, so he got up a little violently, his body swayed slightly, and he quickly reached out to support the foot of the bed.

Jin Sheng rolled his eyelids, "..."

At the same time, he could only pretend not to see him, nodded and smiled at the sentinel who had rescued him from a distance, and followed Jin Sheng out the door.A group of soldiers were about to perform the Eighteenth Party farewell, Jin Sheng raised his hand to stop it, "No need to send it off, just do your work."

With an order, everyone went back to their homes.

Seeing that there was no one around, he did not pretend to be calm, "Master Jin, has the matter of the third master been resolved? Is he in the capital? Everything is fine now?"

"I don't want to cross the river like a bodhisattva, so I have the time to worry about others!"

Jin Sheng had an intuition that when Pei Jin saw the same virtue, he might have a fit. Although Pei Jin's self-cultivation was good, it didn't mean he was a good-tempered master.

If you sneak back in violation of the order, you can deal with it according to military discipline.However, this person is recuperating on the island, and he does not have a serious military registration, so naturally he cannot be counted. In terms of courage, he is really fat. Just based on this alone, it is quite impressive.

Jin Cheng stared at him, and couldn't help but indirectly said, "Aren't you dizzy, don't you need help?"

It is actually necessary to be weak in appropriate fashion. Mr. Pei likes to be evenly matched, but he will also inflate his desire to protect from time to time. If he doesn't see his sweetheart in misery, maybe his heart will soften and he won't be able to vent his anger.

It's a pity that Tong Ze didn't understand the spirit at all, shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, I've almost recovered."

Jin Sheng turned his face away and rolled his eyes. Since that's the case, let this person seek his own blessings. He pointed to an inconspicuous blue cloth car and said, "Go up, and you can get there around this evening." Back to Kyoto."

It seemed that the treatment was not bad, so he agreed, and didn't think much about lifting the curtain of the car.

Only one leg stepped up, and at the same time, his entire figure was frozen.

There was another person sitting in the car, looking at each other, they were entangled for a moment, he couldn't see his own expression, but that one, his eyes couldn't distinguish between joy and sorrow, his eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly, he was gone. A layer of dense clouds surged up.
