Battle in Changsha in the Qingming Festival

, and left some assistants to support the scene, Sheng Qili sneered when she saw this.

No matter what time it is, people in high positions are passionate about it.

The crowd had almost dispersed, Sheng Qili saw the two people who were still in high spirits, and reminded her, "Let's go too, Cheng Zhi and Uncle Hu have already left."

"Sir, I asked you just now, Chairman Zhang will definitely not be present today."

Gu Qingming sat here for a few hours, not to listen to those high-sounding speeches. He met with Chairman Zhang many times, but was rejected. With some leeway, the thousand-year-old city cannot be simply burned.

"Where is he then?"

"At his mansion."

Gu Qingming turned around and walked out, Xiao Mu followed closely behind.

Hu Xiaoman still wanted to stay a little longer, and urged Hu Xiangxiang not to let them go,

"Sister Sheng, stay a little longer! Just for a while, I want to see again, because I'm afraid I won't be able to see her again in the future."

Sheng Qili was in a dilemma, but she nodded in the end, and followed the two of them to wander east and west.

Seeing the men in military uniforms, everyone moved automatically to make way for them. Hu Xiaoman raised his head and was about to speak when he saw Gu Qingming and Xiao Mu walking in front of him, and shouted: "Mr. Gu!"

Sheng Qili buried her head in her thoughts and didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation, as if she was isolated from their world.

"Isn't this Xiangxiang girl? I heard that you got married a few days ago. Congratulations!"

With a smile on Xiao Mu's honest face, he sincerely congratulated Hu Xiangxiang.

Gu Qingming hurried to find Chairman Zhang, said polite congratulations to Hu Xiangxiang and continued on his way.

The moment they rubbed shoulders, the two felt something in their hearts, Sheng Qili raised her head, Gu Qingming slowed down, one was facing forward and the other was backward, the distance between them was only a hand's length.

He turned his head and glanced at Wannian.

There was a lot of voices, but fortunately, I didn't miss you.

"The Japanese are about to enter the city, and they will hit Xinhe soon." A man rushed to this side, repeating a sentence over and over again.

The noise suddenly rang through the ears, and the crowd dispersed in a rush, running around.

Sheng Qili finally came back to her senses, her eyes were as bright as stars.

Gu Qingming grabbed the person who came, "What's going on?"

"The Japanese are about to enter the city, and they will hit Xinhe soon!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? The Japanese are confronting our army at the Xinqiang River. Don't spread rumors."

The man dodged his eyes, broke free from Gu Qingming's restraint, turned around and stepped over the guardrail, mixed into the fleeing crowd, and continued to spread the news.

Gu Qingming's face was covered with frost, looking at Sheng Qili, "Take them back quickly, remember what I said last time!"

"Xiao Mu, drive and go back to the barracks!"

Gu Qingming's face was dark and he was flustered. He had to go back immediately to confirm the truth of the matter. If it was allowed to spread, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Aren't you looking for Chairman Zhang?"

He shook his head, "If the Japanese really hit Xinhe, it's useless to find Chairman Zhang. Go back and have a look first, and then make plans!"

Leaning his head on the car seat, tiredness appeared in his eyes, "Xiao Mu, did your mother send them away?"

"Send it off." Xiao Mu pondered, "Sir, if what the person said just now is true, will the higher ups really set fire to Changsha?"

"I don't know, unless Shangfeng suddenly revoked the order." He chuckled, as if he couldn't convince himself, "Or, drive the Japanese out of Xinqiang River."

Wen Xi fire

Early morning of the 13th.

Sheng Qili was lying on the bed with a pair of black eyes open, completely sleepless.She will leave Changsha tomorrow, but she feels bored in her heart. Not only is her heart beating up and down, but she also has a bad premonition lingering in her bosom. She feels that something unexpected will happen tonight, and then, Disrupt all her previous plans.

She stared at the roof in a daze, her thoughts seemed to fly into the dark night sky of Changsha tonight, overlooking the whole city.The sense of hearing is particularly sensitive in the silent night, as if you can hear the frolicking among the bugs, the sound of the leaves fluttering in the wind, and the beating heart in the chest seems to be pushed and heavy hitting the heart.

Bang bang bang!

"Sister, open the door quickly, it's not good." Sheng Chengzhi slapped the door until it kept shaking.

The pupils shrank suddenly, and the heart sank to the bottom of the valley with a thud.

She put on her clothes and opened the door, seeing that Sheng Chengzhi came in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to put on his coat.He was short of breath, the sweat on the tip of his nose accumulated into small balls, and strands of hair on his forehead were gathered into needles.

"What's wrong? Cheng Zhi!"

His breath was short, and he needed to take a deep breath after saying one or two words, "When I got up at night, I accidentally raised my head, and saw a fire above my head, and it continued to spread around."

"What!" She grabbed the collar and raised her voice a little.

"The higher-ups really ordered to set fire to Changsha!" His lips were hard to close, and his voice trembled.

Sheng Qili hurriedly bypassed him, walked out, raised her eyes, and saw that the sky was full of flames, thick smoke billowing, spreading all the way to a further distance, the flames flashed in her eyes, her face was surprised, she half-closed her clothes, and walked in with a pair of slippers. Run in the middle of the yard.

Sheng Chengzhi chased after her, not knowing what she meant.

The wind was blowing violently outside, kicking up dust all over the ground. With half-closed eyes, he stretched out his hand and pushed the largest potted flower in the courtyard to the ground.

The sound of flower pots breaking was undoubtedly a loud noise in the middle of the night, waking up people who were still asleep.

Sheng Qili yelled at the top of her voice, regardless of the corners of her clothes and hair that were blown by the wind.

"on fire!"

Sheng Chengzhi's voice was louder, and he immediately shouted: "It's on fire!"

"on fire!"

The door that was not closed at the moment was also creaked by the wind, echoing their shouts.

The workers heard the noise outside, opened the door, and ran out of the house with their shoes on. When they saw the flames spreading from the sky, the fire seemed to be bigger, and reflected on their faces, all of them turned pale and were helpless. Looking at Sheng Qili.

"You have also seen that a fire is being lit outside to burn down Changsha. Go and pack up your things, and then run outside. I will wait for you here in 5 minutes, and pay this month's wages in advance."

Turning to Sheng Chengzhi, he said, "Chengzhi, take some money and distribute it to the workers!"

Sheng Chengzhi ran into the house without saying a word.

Sheng Qili packed herself up and joined the crowd in the yard with her luggage. Hu Xiangxiang and Sheng Chengzhi distributed the money to everyone in an orderly manner, while Zhang Bo helped record.

After the workers received the money, they turned around and left with their own burdens on their backs. After a while, the noisy yard returned to calm.

"Xiangxiang, Chengzhi, let's go too!"

The three of them carried their luggage, Sheng Chengzhi locked the vermilion gate, but the two lions carved in stone were not threatened at all, they still stood majestically in their place, guarding the empty Sheng's mansion.

Taking a last look at the mansion that was silent in the night, the suitcase in her hand suddenly weighed a thousand pounds, making her breathless.

Hu Xiangxiang wanted to go to the Hu family first, but was refuted by Sheng Chengzhi.

"Xiangxiang, we are not sure whether grandma and the others have already left. If we rush to nothing by then, it will be a waste of everyone's time. Why don't we go to the ferry and wait until there is no one to make plans. What do you think? ?”

Sheng Qili didn't agree with Hu Xiangxiang's proposal at all, but she wisely chose the three words of advice, and this kind of matter is still left to the husband and wife to discuss.

Hu Xiangxiang didn't expect Sheng Chengzhi to tactfully dismiss her proposal. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, after thinking about it, he had to agree with Sheng Chengzhi's statement, and it was really ill-considered to find someone rashly.

She had no choice but to answer sullenly: "Okay."

Along the way, they saw groups of soldiers holding torches and gasoline, brutally pushing away the owner of the house, directly pouring oil on the door and the wall, and once the fire went down, the house was buried in the sea of ​​flames.

The soldiers stationed at Chairman Zhang's mansion told Chairman Zhang's reply sternly, "I'm sorry, Chairman Zhang said that he has something important tonight, and no one will be seen."

Gu Qingming was determined to meet him, and said calmly, "Little brother, did you mention my father's name to Chairman Zhang?"

"I mentioned it. Chairman Zhang paused and waved me out."

Xiao Mu was familiar with the soldiers, and said in a low voice: "Squad leader, please help me out and pass it on."

The soldier looked distressed, Chairman Zhang was in a bad mood tonight, whoever was going to be in trouble.

"Xiao Mu, forget it, we'll wait outside until he comes out, I don't believe it, he never goes out."

Gu Qingming lit a cigarette, leaned against the car window, and breathed out, with a complicated look on his face.

"Sir, look!" Xiao Mu suddenly uttered, interrupting Gu Qingming's thoughts.

Gu Qingming threw down the flickering cigarette butt, stamped it out with one foot, stood on the edge of the cliff, and saw the Changsha city under his feet was ablaze, it was obvious that those so-called agencies were implementing the scorched earth policy.

The city is burning!

His sword eyebrows were tangled together, his eyes were burning with rage, and he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Damn, the Japanese haven't hit Xinqiang River yet, what kind of city are they burning! A bunch of wine bags and rice bags!"

"Hurry up!"

"Don't squeeze!"

"Oh, my dress! It's a fine material!"

"Mother, mother, where are you? Mother!"

……

All kinds of voices filled my ears.

The three of Sheng Qili carried their luggage and struggled in the crowded sea of ​​people. If they were not careful, they would be swarmed by the crowd and the connection between their companions would be broken.

A fat lady behind her only cared about her own way, rushed forward with all her strength, and threw Sheng Qili to the ground. The moment she fell, her hand was slammed by the corner of the box, and the stinging pain hit her immediately. heart.

Seeing that someone fell, the aunt not only did not help him up, but in order to escape for her life, she directly stepped on her ankle and stepped on it.
