Stage [Republic of China]

Everyone is responsible for death. "

In an instant, it was as if some insect had bitten Shui Jiu's heart.His breathing was stagnant, under the oil lamp, Ning Jimin's Zhou Zheng's eyebrows were very serious, even the black mole hidden in the thick eyebrow on the left was shining brightly.

"Brother Ah Jiu, you and I are men, a man will never regret it! Tell me the truth, are you willing to work with our brothers?"

Shui Jiu was silent for a long time that night.The dim flame of the oil lamp flickered slightly, and his two rows of long and dense eyelashes drooped downwards, casting beautiful butterfly-like shadows on the wings of the straight bridge of the nose.

Others could not see his gaze.

The words under the oil lamp lingered on Shui Jiu's lips, and when they finally floated out, they were clear and light. "Okay, but I'm quitting any minute now."

There seemed to be flames burning in Ning Jimin's eyes, his Adam's apple rolled, and he slammed his palm on the corner of the table, causing the shaking oil lamp to shake. "You will not!"

Shui Jiu raised her eyelids and smiled slightly.

On the No. 14 day when Shui Jiu mixed into the Jiangnan Rebel Army, he had already become a veteran of scouting.Before he left the house that day, Ning Jimin suddenly handed him a hookah made of sterling silver with an emerald cigarette holder.

Shui Jiu frowned. "I don't smoke this."

He waved his hand, trying to block the hookah back.Ning Jimin laughed and said, "I know you don't smoke, but today's task is different from usual, you have to sneak into a wine bar. The people who go there are all the wives of officials and wealthy businessmen, and those people like to smoke." , if you don’t bring this, it will look awkward.”

Shui Jiu raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Could it be that today you are teaching me to go back to Jibei City for a banquet?"

"It's indeed in the northern city of Hebei." Ning Jimin laughed and said, "The brothers we went to in the past couldn't get any reliable news in the city. I heard that Li Daotai was going to open a warehouse for food relief recently. A few days ago A few days ago, a wave of refugees fled into northern Hebei, and the gates of the city were opened, and now there are hundreds of refugees in northern Hebei, and of course some of us have also mixed in."

What Ning Jimin said was vague, and he was only willing to scribble it, and then said to Shui Jiu: "Their news comes slowly, and it's all gossip. You still have to find a reliable source."

"But I look like this..." Shui Jiu hesitated.

Most of the people in Jibei City would recognize his appearance, especially the second young master Qin who was buzzing like a fly all the time picking on him.

"At Paramount's, we have a familiar popular dancer named Lulu." After getting along for more than ten days, Ning Jimin gave him some advice. "Lulu has been secretly helping our Jiangnan Rebels. She promised that as long as I bring you in, I will leave the rest to her. She will naturally take you in to participate in the banquet tonight."

Shui Jiu frowned. "is it possible?"

Shui Jiu looked at Ning Jimin with confused eyes.Ning Jimin met his gaze, but his eyes flickered, coughed a little awkwardly, and said, "Of course not as a man. But Brother Ah Jiu, it's fine if you were born as a child. If you dress up as a woman and change into a cheongsam, No one can see it."

Oh, it turned out that he was asked to pretend to be a woman.

Shui Jiu was annoyed at the moment, her long eyebrows were furrowed, and her cold white face was flushed with pink blood. "I dont go!"

"Brother Ajiu," Ning Jimin smiled apologetically, took his hand, and said earnestly, "That's just what happened. If the news of this trip is confirmed, let's kill Li Daotai, and the rebel army will enter Hebei Province." Beicheng. After that, Brother Ajiu, you don't have to compromise like this anymore."

"It turns out that you also know that this is asking for perfection!" Shui Jiu sneered. "This is clearly a challenge for the strong."

Ning Jimin smiled wryly.Even though Shui Jiu stared at him fiercely, he just smiled and raised Li Hei's stubby finger to point at the tip of his nose. "Brother Ajiu, I really didn't mean to coax you. If my family's birth is a little better, or my skin color can be as white as yours, Brother Ajiu, I will go there myself."

Ning Jimin has regular features, but his complexion has been dark since he was a child. After walking outside in the wind, sun, bullets and bullets all these years, his skin has become several layers darker.Moreover, he stretched out his hand holding the gun all the year round, and there was a thin layer of gun calluses on the index finger, middle finger and palm, which anyone could feel.If it was such a pair of hands that were held by the gang of dandies at the banquet, they would have to expose them immediately.

After a few seconds of silence, Shui Jiu sighed and released Ning Jimin silently.

Ning Jimin saw that there seemed to be a movement between his brows and eyes, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot. "Brother Ajiu, my dear brother Ajiu, I'll ask you just this once. After this problem is resolved, I don't want you to pretend to be a woman again."

"When will you be able to enter Jibei City?" Shui Jiu raised his eyebrows.

Ning Jimin laughed again. "It depends on when Li Daotai is killed."

"If you kill Daotai, will you be able to control Jibei?"

"There must be a [-]% to [-]% certainty!" Ning Jimin shrugged, blew his nose loudly, and laughed loudly, "The world is in such a mess today, and we don't know when we can expect it to end. But now there is only Jibei, the hardest bone to crack, left on the Jiangnan road. When we have gnawed down Jibei, the rest is easy to talk about."

"Then, where is the north side of the river?" Shui Jiu asked after him.

"Over there..." Ning Jimin hesitated for a while, seeing that Shui Jiu was still staring at him with burning eyes, his eyes flickered again to avoid Shui Jiu. "Ah, it is still under the control of the Jin Army."

The Jin army is another force. It is said that they were originally born from bandit gangs, but they are extremely well-organized. Among them are the Qing Gang and the Hong Gang.Rumor has it that the leader of the Qing Gang and the Hong Gang also held important positions in the Jin Army.According to the gossip that Shui Jiu heard from the streets and alleys, it is said that the Jin army is extremely disciplined, and the north side of the river is better than the original government.Therefore, the Jin army has great prestige in the local area. Apart from other things, if it invades the other side of the river from the outside, before it touches the shore, the fishermen along the coast will take the lead in organizing spontaneously, killing people with blunderbuss, or laying densely packed trees. The fishing net made it difficult for the other party to move an inch.

In a word, the people in the north of the Yangtze River are so tough that even the officers and soldiers in the imperial court have to focus on appeasement.

Shui Jiu was still thinking about the sphere of influence of the Jin army on the north side of the river, but Ning Jimin suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

-"To be honest, among our group of people, you are the only one who has the best life, and besides, the kung fu of pretending..."

As Ning Jimin spoke, he handed the hookah pipe half-stuffed to Shui Jiu.When Shui Jiu took hold of the cigarette bag, Ning Jimin's thick, black hands immediately wrapped Shui Jiu's hand from the outside, and solemnly instructed, "This effort to pack cigarettes and pass tea is something that people in the general scene do not have." Good at it, rough guys like us are even worse! Brother Ajiu, I really can't learn it."

Heh, pretend to be a cigarette... Shui Jiu lowered her eyelids and sneered inwardly.

He really knows how to do this.His biological mother turned out to be half a lady of the family, it is said that she was the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and was kidnapped by his father. Later, his father spent a lot of time fooling around outside. Hookah.Shui Jiu is proficient at packing tobacco, including lighting cigarettes.

"That red dancer from Paramount..." Shui Jiu murmured.

"Her name is Lulu, and foreign devils like to call him Luth." Ning Jimin smiled apologetically, and instructed a few more words. "Lulu is very happy on the scene. It is said that the guests invited to the banquet at Paramount tonight are all wealthy gentry and wealthy guests. After you go, Brother Ajiu, just play by ear."

"No definite goal?"

"No." Ning Jimin shook his head with a bitter look on his face. "If there is, our brothers won't be so worried."

"Then after I go there, I just have a drink?" Shui Jiu wondered.

What is the effect of just having a drink?

"Hey, of course not." Ning Jimin smiled again with the kind of embarrassment that Shui Jiu felt awkward just looking at it. "If you get there, Brother Ajiu, Lulu will introduce you to them as the new top little sister. Among them, if there is anyone who you can chat with Brother Ajiu, maybe..."

"...Maybe what?"

Shui Jiu waited quietly for a long time, but Ning Jimin didn't say anything more, so Shui Jiu knew it silently.Going to this banquet, he is acting as a dancer again, if someone takes a fancy to him, he might take him to supper later, or even take him home, and he will lie down by the bed without saying anything. Out?

"It's a pity that I am a man after all," Shui Jiu said coldly, "If there is a rear end, I'm afraid it will be revealed."

"Of course it won't come to that point," Ning Jimin said hastily, "Brother Ajiu... In short, Brother Ajiu, you will play by ear and send news when you have time. I will definitely not harm you! "

"Who can pass the news for me?"

"In Jibei City, there is a shop called Fengyu's rice shop. There is a clever little guy named Zhuzi in the rice shop. Brother Ah Jiu, you can pass the news to Zhuzi as long as you have time."

◎"If you follow me, you will never suffer."◎

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shui Jiu changed into a cheongsam, and came out gracefully with the hookah in his hand.Ning Jimin, who was leaning against a big tree and smoking a cigarette, was stunned on the spot, only to realize that the cigarette holder was burnt to his lips, and quickly threw the still burning cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it fiercely with his feet.

Shui Jiu was born tall, with a thin waist and fat hips. This cheongsam was originally rented from elsewhere, but it didn't feel cheap at all when it was worn on Shui Jiu.He was all over the body, even the sweat stains and folds on the waist of the cheongsam that had been used by others looked so charming.

Under the sun, Ning Jimin unconsciously breathed heavily.

"Does it look good?" Shui Jiu raised her eyelids, with a half-smile.

"It's... nice." Ning Jimin realized that he stuttered as soon as the words came out of his mouth.

Shui Jiu hooked her lips gracefully,
