Stage [Republic of China]

. "Hey, here we come."

Shui Jiu raised the hooked Danfeng eyes at the end of the inner eyes, unexpectedly but not so unexpectedly, and found out that the person who saved the scene was Ning Jimin.Ning Jimin was dressed rarely today, with a starched white shirt on top, tight black suspenders on the bottom, an armband on his left arm, and a pair of shiny big-toed leather shoes on his feet.He looked like a noble son, but also exuded an inexplicable murderous aura.

"Brother Ah Jiu!" Ning Jimin looked back at him with a smile. "Why do you want to find me here today?"

Shui Jiu hesitated, her water chestnut lips moved, and then closed tightly again.

Ning Jimin understood it, hugged him by the shoulders with a smile, and led him to the box room on the stand on the second floor. "I've seen you since you walked in the door."

Shui Jiu hesitated for a while, but couldn't think of what to say, so she smiled.

When he got to the box, Shui Jiu realized that there were other people there.A foreigner wearing a lace white shirt and scarlet wide-leg trousers was peeling melon seeds and listening to a play. When he saw Shui Jiu coming in, the foreigner was startled at first, then turned to Ning Jimin and said, "Ning, who is this?"

But it speaks pure Chinese, but the tone is a bit strange.

Ning Jimin looked at the foreigner and smiled. "It's my elder brother in my hometown, named Ah Jiu."

The foreigner nodded, smiled at Chong Shuijiu, and stretched out his hand. "Hello."

Shui Jiu looked hesitantly at the foreigner's big golden-haired hand, and nodded embarrassingly. "Hello."

Ning Jimin laughed out loud. "He doesn't want to shake your hand!"

The foreigner also laughed and shrugged.

The melon, fruit and other dishes in the private room were already neatly arranged, but Ning Jimin still put the plums that he had just bought from the boy on, and arranged for Shui Jiu to sit next to him.Slowed down, while the foreigner was knocking his kneecaps and babbling along with the opera on the stage, Ning Jimin turned his face and asked Shui Jiu in a low voice. "But what's urgent?"

... indeed there are.

Shui Jiu choked in her heart, she didn't expect Ning Jimin to understand so well.

There was an extra foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes standing here, Shui Jiu couldn't say much, and said vaguely: "I really need you."

Ning Jimin observed the words and expressions, and immediately understood again. He stood up and said to the foreigner with a smile: "Ke Lang, I will take Brother Ah Jiu to relieve his hand first."

Ke Lang babbled and hummed the play, humming happily, nodded, and waved his hands.

Ning Jimin came out with Shui Jiu, but instead of walking into the crowded lobby, he turned a corner and stopped when he saw that there was no one left or right in the corridor on the second floor, and turned around. Looking at Shui Jiu. "What happened that made you come to find me?"

Shui Jiu opened her lips, and after a while, said hesitantly, "He didn't know who he met when he came out yesterday, but when he went home, he seemed to be whipped by someone."

Ning Jimin's eyes were sharp. "he?"

"...Xu Jishan."

"Hehe," Ning Jimin sneered, took out a pack of foreign cigarettes from his trouser pocket, and lit one to his lips.After the light blue smoke dissipated, he glanced at Shui Jiu with a half-smile. "If it's not for him, you won't be able to think of looking for me."

Although it was true, Shui Jiu couldn't admit it, so he just smiled awkwardly.

Ning Jimin closed his eyes, leaned his back against the wall, took a full sip in a dawdly manner, and then said calmly: "Yesterday in the yamen, Qin Ershao lost his temper very much. I heard that someone whipped him for a while. merchant."

Shui Jiu clenched her fists tightly, breathing slightly unsteadily.

Ning Jimin opened his eyes and looked at him, still with that half-smile and half-smile look. "Why, after going back, he cried to you?"

Shui Jiu paused, ignoring his cynicism. "What's the situation now? You're in the yamen..."

Shui Jiu hesitated for a long time, the corners of her lips pursed slightly.

Ning Jimin looked at him and glanced up and down, and said: "I'm not going to hide it from you. I got the exact news the night before, saying that the Dongyang people took control of the north, and the Jin army was fighting among themselves. Jingxi Mansion... the Jin army is about to It fell apart."

Even Shui Jiu knows that the power in the world is divided into five parts.Originally, from the south of the Yangtze River to the emperor, it was under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.Along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to the Huaihe River, it is where the Jiangnan Rebel Army is located.Jingxi Mansion is mixed with gang forces and Japanese military police. After the alliance between the Qing Gang and the Hong Gang, they are collectively called the Jin Army.The other two forces are both in the north. Because the north and the south have always been severely separated, people from the north rarely come here. Now the north has been taken by the Orientals, and the emperor has been cut off from the north to become a puppet emperor.

The forces in this world are divided into five, and the Orientals get the two pieces in the north, and with the addition of the Jingxi Mansion, they barely get the third piece.

Sure enough, Ning Jimin continued: "Right now, Jingxi Mansion is gradually being dominated by the Orientals, and the Qing Gang and the Hong Gang can't make any tricks. As long as they cross the Yellow River and rush all the way to the north of Hebei, the whole country will be in the hands of the Orientals." thing."

Shui Jiu frowned. "Then...is there no other way?"

"What can be done?" Ning Jimin took another deep puff of foreign cigarette, his tone was flat, without any ups and downs. "Now the emperor is far away in Yongzhou in the north, and now the forces of all parties are at a stalemate! The Yellow River is sealed off, and the general of the Right Banner in northern Hebei proclaims himself emperor. It's a mess."

That being said, Shui Jiu is not entirely convinced.

Ning Jimin was afraid that he still had something to hide from him.But if the topic is deeper, it is not easy for him to ask more questions.So he avoided it lightly, and asked with half-cast eyes: "Second Young Master Qin, are you going to let that bastard continue to be proud?"

"Why, he bullied you?" Ning Jimin squinted over, observed the words and expressions, and seemed to understand immediately. "That's right, Brother Ajiu, you are so good-looking, that thing that is not as good as a beast, probably did something to you?"

Being asked by Ning Jimin face to face, Shui Jiu felt ashamed, from the base of the ear to the bridge of the nose was hot, as if scorched by sparks and blistered.However, Shui Jiu still deeply remembers why he came to find Ning Jimin today.No matter how shameful, he couldn't ignore his original intention. "There's something I need to trouble you to do."

Ning Jimin raised his hand to remove the cigarette butt from his lips, tilted the corners of his mouth, and smiled. "You're still so polite to me? Brother Ah Jiu, whatever you want, just say it, and leave it to me."

Shui Jiu hesitated again, her water chestnut lips fluttered slightly under the half-light of the corridor.

Ning Jimin's eyes unconsciously fell on his two small and bright water chestnut lips, his Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was hoarse. "I see, you want to teach that beast a lesson, right?"

Shui Jiu widened her red phoenix eyes in surprise, and before she had time to refute, Ning Jimin threw the cigarette butt on the ground viciously, stamping out the cigarette butt with the sole of her big leather shoe.

"Don't worry, Brother Ajiu. If you don't tell me, this bastard's good life is over. It's only two days left, let him splatter the blood on the spot."

Shui Jiu's heart skipped a beat.Ning Jimin has been a master who seems to be full of words when he was young, but he can express every sentence. At the age of 15, I went to work as a clerk in a shop. Before I left, I carried a small bag on my back and patted my chest arrogantly, saying to everyone that I will definitely achieve a big career when I go.At that time, everyone in the compound laughed, thinking that as long as he was a good buddy, he would open a pawnshop in Jibei City later.Unexpectedly, being a clerk in the shop is a cover, secretly doing the work of the Jiangnan Rebel Army.In a few days, he gave up his status as a buddy and went straight to the base camp of the rebel army.

Looking back now, Shui Jiu couldn't help but smile sadly when he mentioned the previous relationship. "That day, you didn't even fool people with this bold statement."

Ning Jimin has become a well-known figure in the Jiangnan Rebel Army, and his subordinates are easy to say, and they also have the strength of a city.If he wanted to teach Qin Ershao a lesson, he might have to use real swords and guns.

Ning Jimin also smiled with his mouth crooked. "So, trust me once."

"Don't be impulsive," Shui Jiu quickly lowered her voice, and in a hurry, she raised her hand and grabbed Ning Jimin's arm.

Cold white fingers rest on Ning Jimin's white shirt.The fingertips are soft, only separated by a thin layer of shirts, they are so close that they can feel the temperature of each other's skin.

Ning Jimin rolled his Adam's apple again, tilted the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Why are you so nervous? Brother Ah Jiu, are you nervous about me, or that beast? Or..."

Ning Jimin dragged his tune slowly, turned his eyes away, and let out a dry laugh reluctantly. "Or...you just want to vent your anger on that businessman Xu who was whipped by Qin Ershao?"

Shui Jiu took a few deep breaths, and her pale cheeks flushed abnormally. "It doesn't matter for anyone. Ah Shui, don't do anything stupid."

Ning Jimin turned his head suddenly, staring at Shui Jiu with sharp eyes.After a long time, he laughed hoarsely and said, "Brother Ajiu, I'll take it as if you said... You also have me in your heart."

◎"The times are different"◎

thump, thump, suddenly there was the sound of a large number of people breaking in from downstairs.When Duoduo stepped on the ground, the soles of military boots made a very distinctive sound.

Ning Jimin leaned over to take a look, heheed, and said, "I really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there soon."

Shui Jiu also took a look with his head, only took a quick glance, then retracted his body, panting heavily.

It was Qin Ershao who rushed into the theater and turned people off.Qin Ershao didn't bring many people today, only about five or six people, all of whom were from the East.The Japanese gendarmes are usually expressionless, and when they see someone blocking the way, they take a long gun and poke them away.The little newsboy who had come to them with a basket and asked for money for melon seeds was also knocked to the ground.

"It's really chasing here." Shui Jiu frowned. "Either way, I'd better go out and avoid it first."

"Where are you going?" Ning Jimin raised his eyebrows and smiled with the corners of his mouth tilted. "This is called, if there is a way to heaven, he will not go, but there will be no way to hell."

There was murderous intent in these words.

Shui Jiu's expression became more and more serious, and she almost looked at Ning Jimin in disbelief. "A water,
