In the seventh year of the Republic of China, it was a rainy night in August.

Several factories in Zhabei exploded, and many commercial and newspaper offices were closed. It has always been calm and peaceful, and gunshots have been fired from far and near the concession.

Cars honked, horses galloped, and many apartments and houses opened their windows and closed silently.

The sound of the foreign soldiers running uniformly in their military boots, stepping through potholes and splashing rain, walking through the streets and alleys, in the midst of the noise, tide, and darkness, made one's heart palpitate.

The next day was fine, and the various forces had a few more pieces of information on their desks.

There are no enemies or friends forever.

When the fragile transaction relationship ended, Louis revealed without concealment that Chu Yunsheng and Yu Jingzhi played a role and played a role in this change.

"Devouring the Starry Sky: Sign In to God"

The senior officials of these forces did not know whether they should be shocked by Adams' death, or whether they should be surprised that the Green Eagle went crazy and uprooted the intelligence network of Dongyang in Haicheng.

Perhaps, they were even more stunned that cowardly Chinese people were able to get on the wanted list and become the hands that stirred up all the blood and blood.

"The madness of Yu Jing!"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have suspected that this was a little bit of a game!"

"They will bear the wrath of Deutsche and Toyo!"

"I still can't believe it, it's like an ant biting a strong elephant... Need to investigate, there must be a hidden situation!"

Louis was almost sure that Chu Yunsheng and Yu Jingzhi would not expose him as a spy no matter what, under the premise of clearly offending Deutsche and Toyo, as long as they If there is still a glimmer of hope for the help of France, then there will be no more words to say.

But it turns out that they didn't expect much from France.

A story about Louis, as a French spy, deliberately murdering Adams, made headlines early in the morning in many big newspapers and tabloids.

When Louis reacted and sent someone to ban it and destroy it, the news had already spread all over the streets and alleys, even if the roadside beggars could vaguely say something about it, but they didn't understand it. It's all fun to watch.

This is completely hooliganism.

"Louis turned out to be from France. This is something I didn't think about. Maybe the English intelligence system needs to be reformed."

Pete sat in the spacious and bright flower hall, with a cigarette in his mouth, flipping through the papers with interest: "Adams is such a suspicious person, it can be said that he is very trustworthy to have him by his side all the time. But it's a pity, He betrays that trust."

When came to visit, James was a very typical American, tall and strong.

He was sitting on a soft chair not far away, admiring a osmanthus tree hidden in a half-open glass window.

Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "If Adams is dead, Haicheng will no longer have a German name. I believe that Colonel Andre will take out his return ticket as soon as possible, and can't wait. to board the ship."

"He's not at all German." Pete nodded in agreement.

James said, "Pete, who do you think Adams was murdered by?"

Pete closed the stack of intelligence and said, "I'm not sure yet who is the murderer of China and France. But compared to Yu Jingzhi, I'm more willing to believe that Louis will grab money in this matter." The greatest interest. Even I don't understand, Yu Jingzhi's motive for assassinating Adams and removing the Toyo Intelligence Network."

"It doesn't do him any favors at all. If it is a benefit to face the anger of Deutsche and Toyo, then I may understand."

James pressed the back of his chair, haha, and got up: "Hey, that's so funny, Pete. But maybe I forgot one thing."

He sighed silently.

Pete raised his chin slightly and looked at James questioningly.

James didn't give a shit and said directly: "Whether it's Germany, Dongyang, or France, they look extremely angry, and their clamor can almost drown the entire Haicheng. But Germany was defeated and could no longer control China." In this situation, the Green Eagle was cut off again and its tentacles were cut off. Under the cleaning of Louis, it fell into internal friction and lost at least half of its strength, making it difficult to set off another storm."

"Their anger towards China can only stay at the level of the wanted order. Assassinations may become very numerous, but there will be no movement in the army."

James retracted his content slightly: "As for France."

"If that arrogant Louis didn't spare Yu Jingzhi and Chu Yunsheng last night, but killed them on the spot to silence them, then he might be able to completely control the green eagle without any effort, and secretly use The German intelligence forces made a great contribution to France."

"But he was so stupid. He let them go."

"No, no, maybe he can't kill them at all. He's tied up, he thinks he's taking a big gamble, it's very thrilling and scary, but in essence, he's still a weak, coward. He loves himself.  life, not willing to risk death together to kill them."

"That's why he got into a situation like this, and was determined that he would not resist the Chinese people and spread his identity everywhere. No matter what tricks he used, the Green Eagle and the German high-ranking officials. , at least half would doubt him."

"They will suspend him from his duties and escort him back to China like a prisoner. All his plans will be turned into a mime."

Hearing this, Pete also sighed and interjected: "Yes, Louis is weak and hesitant, so I no longer doubt whether France fell too fast in the war in Europe. But he might still have a little brain."

He said: "At least this morning when the newspapers spread, he realized that he was stupid and was trying to remedy it. The French Concession was under martial law, and the French soldiers were working hard to clean up. Louis used the pretext of destroying rumors to kill most of the Green Eagle intelligence personnel."

"He can still take the green eagle, but it won't be a eagle anymore, it's just a turkey without wings."

"This is no different from killing Adams forcefully and directly capturing the Green Eagle."

"The European conference is still going on, and when something like this is reported in France, the pressure will not be small. The loss of the war is also huge, and they will want to make up for it from the land of China, but it is definitely not a war. It just ended, and everything is not stable now."

James relaxed his shoulders and leaned back into the soft chair, and then connected to Pete: "So, shouting to kill that Chinese is a lot of noise, but I can really reach in and make some Well, there are only those cunning oriental people."

Pete got up, poured a cup of English-style black tea for James, and looked at the window with him, the golden scented sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

"Then James, guess, did this result have been thought about before the Chinese people made the last night's intention? Or, they took the risk because they had already      The news—the news that the Orientals are going south?"

The mellow tea fragrance and the rich milk flavor are combined, overflowing in the afternoon flower hall.

James didn't answer, just slowly picked up the ceramic teacup, and in the rising steam, looked at Pete.

In fact, the situation in Haicheng is often the same as this era, with unpredictable changes and turbulent dark tides.

The concession was in chaos, the districts of Haicheng County confronted each other, and the newspapers were all over the place.

The tram passed the progressives shouting, the narrow glass with numb faces and bright eyes.

There are trivial skins in the alleys, the corpses of homeless children in the stinky ditch, the weeping and wailing in the big smoke hall, the Suzhou Riverside is full of charm, and there are many factories under the sky in Zhabei.

Even though he counted the copper plates carefully, and lived a life with no tomorrow, he was a little common man, and he also sniffed the stench that was blowing from the sea.

- A storm is coming.

‌Sunday‌.

On the second floor of the Guanglai Teahouse, there was a burst of gunshots facing the street.

He piled up at the door of the teahouse and looked around, the guests waited for a while, and saw four short-handed men going up and down the stairs, carrying a corpse, and quickly walked around to the door of the teahouse.

Hiding at the counter, the shopkeeper stared at him with a pair of eyes, and after another half a minute, a soldier appeared at the entrance of the stairs, apologizing to everyone.

 At this moment, the shopkeeper straightened up, rushed out of the counter in three steps, pointed at the door, and shouted at a group of customers, "It's a regular customer, I can't remember my face, Mr. Zhang. , no one wants to run away!"

The guests roared, ridiculed the shopkeeper, brushed off their robes, and walked back to the restaurant as if nothing was wrong.

It's just that when sat down, the tea just got a little cold.

Someone sighed in a low voice: "Oh, when did this matter come to a head? It must be said that Mr. Yu was assassinated in the past, but at least it took longer, a day and a half. Now it's good, three days. My head is making noise. If I put it on me, I won't shut myself in the house, and the door won't come out."

"Easy to say." Another said.

"That big man has so many things to do, how can he compare to us? Besides, the one who handled these movements has always been good, Brother Liu, look, he is not even a timid person like this. Stand under the sound of gunfire and watch the liveliness for half an hour?"

"It's good to get used to it, what's more, who doesn't know the reason for the sudden increase in these assassinations?"

"Those foreigners are really abominable!"

The man before gritted his teeth and said, "Where I work, the general manager is a spy from Toyo. Yesterday, the boss heard that he came to check the account all night, and only then did he know that the spy was empty. Wan Dayang, all of them are dedicated to the oriental people!"

"Not only this, but Dagang Newspaper, Mr. Zhao, do you know? Earlier, he used to sing praises for the Orientals in the newspapers. I was not happy when I saw it. I wanted to come back from Japan.  He is the only one who said that it is so weird, I wish I could lick the toes of the Orientals!  Now I understand that he is also a spy!"

Someone else interjected: "Speaking of this, it's considered clean. There are many spies who have obtained their identity for their own sake, and want to kill them instead! If they were more ruthless, there would be a lot of things to kill!"

"If these spies are going to be removed, they probably won't be able to remove them completely, but it's better than the past. When I think about the viciousness of the past few years, my eyes are fixed on us, and I feel uneasy all over. "

"So bear with it, this assassination will never be tireless. Besides, I don't think that murderer is a master who can endure all the time..."

"Hey, be careful!"

In the elegant building on the second floor, the windows facing the street were newly opened, and the strong smell of blood gradually dissipated.

The faint aroma of tea overflowed with the hot water, and the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus lingered.

Chu Yunsheng listened attentively to the movement downstairs, and did not like to put down half of the dim sum after taking Yu Jingzhi's food. He admired the people of Haicheng for their adaptability and acceptance.

In Haicheng, where there are many gangsters, many foreigners, and various forces are intricate, peace and gunfights have never been a conflict.

Haicheng people are very good at accepting new things, and they are also very able to make the most accurate response to these events in a way that seeks benefits and avoids disadvantages.

Looking down from the window, the people who were scared away by the fighting, and the stall owners, also moved back one after another while watching, walking and shouting again.

"Ask Gao Lan to see him, he probably won't come." Chu Yunsheng looked at Yu Jingzhi across from him and said.

Yu Jingzhi rolled his eyes and said, "Of course he doesn't want to. He entered Haicheng with great fanfare and saw that the first person was me, then I can guarantee that he will definitely die faster than me. But see If you don't see me, it's not what he said."

Looking at Yu Jingzhi's expression, Chu Yunsheng wondered what it was, and raised his eyes to look at the window.

In front of this street is the official road entering the city, and it is the only way to go to the concession. It seems that Yu Jingzhi has received news that Gao Lan will not arrive at Haicheng by water as originally planned, so he wants to intercept Gao Lan here.

Thinking about this, Chu Yunsheng suddenly remembered in the original story that Li Lingbi and one of his four lovers, Gao Lan, met. It was a very coincidental collision at the riverside wharf, which should have been Classified as love at first sight ‌ drama.

And now, Gao Lan has changed his route into the city, so will he and Li Lingbi meet again?

As soon as this problem appeared, there was the roar of cars and the stomping of horses' hooves at the end of the street.

Soon, a team of a hundred soldiers appeared within Chu Yunsheng's line of sight.

This team is not well equipped, but the bandit spirit is strong and quite intimidating.

The surrounding people hurriedly avoided and looked carefully. At the forefront of the team, there were three tall horses, headed by a sturdy black horse, and a man in military uniform with a resolute and stern face.

This man has a sturdy figure, bronze complexion, and a scar on the center of his eyebrows. Compared with the photos, he is more imposing.

Chu Yunsheng could recognize that this was a strong occupation of northern Jiangxi Province, and he had given himself the title of Great Commander, Gao Lan.

Yu Jingzhi also raised his eyes and looked at the past, his expression became playful and cold.

And just as people were watching Gao Lan coming into the city aggressively at the same time, they didn't know when they quieted down, and a scream suddenly sounded on the street.

A figure rushed out of an alley in a hurry, and without looking at the ground, rushed directly under the hoof of Gao Lan's dark horse.
