After leaving Niutoushan Town, the road gradually became bumpy.

Chen Tianhua looked at the scenery on both sides of the rugged mountain road in a daze, maybe thinking about something.

At this moment, a soft and fragrant body came to his side, and its elastic plumpness was close to his arm.

He also smelled a long-lost and familiar fragrance in his nose.

This is not the smell of French perfume, but the scent of a woman's body.

Chen Tianhua smiled slightly and reached out to stroke her messed up hair. His movements were gentler than ever before.

This open and energetic woman has long since stepped out of Allen's shadow and is ready to embrace a new life.

She never concealed her affection for Chen Tianhua, no matter that he already had a wife.

Although Chen Tianhua is a typical career-oriented and militant person, it does not mean that he does not understand women's hearts.

Seeing Chen Tianhua's bold and almost affectionate actions, Xu Yunyuan opened her mouth in surprise and couldn't believe her eyes.

An indescribable joy surged into her heart, and she had only dreamed of this day.

Xu Yunyuan started studying abroad, and she has been hanging out with men all these years.

Those men, whether foreigners or Chinese, bureaucrats or ordinary people, wanted to take advantage of her body all the time.

Especially men who think they are powerful.

But Chen Tianhua, who is also the boss and powerful, came to her and brought a sense of righteousness.

He and the team and organization he leads do not have any very dirty phenomena and are purely fighting for justice and the nation.

Of course, acquiring wealth and status are essential accessories.

Everyone helps each other and is like a family. Although they are small in number, they are very powerful in fighting. They have special respect for women.

She began to like this team and this man who was several years younger than her.

But this young master doesn't go to bed with her easily. There are many opportunities, but he...

This made her feel very distressed.

Although Xu Yunyuan is of the new style and Western style, she is not bold enough to take off her clothes and get into his bed.

Maybe such a move might be effective, but in the situation of the Qing Dynasty, this was a huge violation of morals.

The straight-line distance from Niutoushan Town in Guangde to Meishan Town in Changxing is about fifty miles, but the actual walking distance on the winding mountain road is more than a hundred miles.

This kind of road is rarely traveled by people, so it cannot be called a road. Those who cross the mountains and ridges have to stop and inspect. They rode like this for two days.

By the time they arrived at Meishan Town, it was the afternoon of the second day and it was approaching evening. The time had at least tripled, and it was really slower than a tortoise crawling.

The bumps along the way were almost unbearable given their physical condition.

The road was bumpy, winding and foggy, making it unbearable.

In many places, you have to wade across shallow rivers and walk along mountain paths on the edge of cliffs.

The horse's hooves were less than half a meter away from the valley. A timid person would be scared to death if he saw this scene.

Chen Tianhua noticed that although this road is very difficult to walk, it is the best route. If there is no reliable guide and compass, it is estimated that you will not be able to walk in your life.

"Meishan Town, we are back again."

"Oh, it's been more than half a year, look what has changed."

"..."

Song Xiaoniu and the security team members galloped and roared wildly. Even Xu Yunyuan joined them and went crazy for a while.

Several security team members here participated in the battle to encircle Meishan Town last year, and Song Xiaoniu was still a miner.

This is the third time Xu Yunyuan has come to Meishan Town, but her feelings every time are completely different.

It was also the third time that Chen Tianhua came to Meishan Town. The first two times he started from Changxing County and entered from the front of Meishan Town.

But this time we passed through the virgin forest in the mountains behind the town, and the sights and feelings we saw were completely different.

Chen Tianhua saw that the mountain residents who built along the mountains around the town seemed to have hundreds of families with a population of about three to four thousand people. In fact, there were only a handful in the town.

Most of the houses here are made of earthen wood and tree branches, and there are also many slate roofs. They are very low, depressing and desolate, giving people a primitive tribal feeling.

Walking on the polished bluestone, looking at the dilapidated houses on both sides and the local people wearing ragged clothes, Chen Tianhua was filled with emotion.

These people have yellow faces and thin muscles, which are caused by long-term hunger and malnutrition.

The worst thing is that for some female mountaineers, the clothes cannot cover their parts of the body, exposing skin that should not be exposed.

Entering the town center, they headed to the former security brigade compound.

The last battle was the most brutal here, and the houses in the courtyard had been reduced to ruins.

Now it was rebuilt after the fact.

From a distance, the courtyard walls are made of stone and sand ash, and there are several houses built in the courtyard, all of which are two-story buildings with some European style.

This was obviously designed and built by people sent by the British side.

The windows turned out to be wooden sliding windows, and guards with guns stood at the door.

According to Ian, this is the location of the town hall of Meishan Town. Of course, it is still the headquarters of the security brigade.

The leader, Song Xiaoniu, received instructions to go directly to the brigade headquarters, so he did not stop in the town and drove directly from the central street to the southwest corner.

At this time, dozens of security guards ran out from the compound. They were divided into two teams and stood at attention.

Obviously, this was a welcome guard of honor.

The lookout post in the compound should have discovered their team long ago. The reason why there was no armed attack was probably because they discovered the foreigner in the team, to be precise, it was the British Ian.

Therefore, warning becomes a guard of honor and a form of welcome.

The security team members were all wearing homemade military uniforms. The colors were different from before, but they did not have military ranks and epaulettes. They all had Mauser M1871 long rifles in their hands.

Xu Yunyuan, who was standing next to Chen Tianhua, whispered:

"Young Master, based on my preliminary observations, this group of security guards has obviously received relatively formal military training, and their combat effectiveness is pretty decent. They are not the ragtag bunch they used to be. They should have some ability."

Chen Tianhua nodded and said nothing. He had been observing carefully. This was his professional habit.

There are firepower points high on the roof, observation posts on the towers, and teams of mobile patrols carrying guns, blocking the surrounding area without any blind spots, showing that these people are very cautious and somewhat military-minded.

A group of buildings appeared not far to the left, which seemed to be a military camp for the security team.

Taking the road at the gate as the dividing line, to the east is the soldier's dormitory, which is divided into ten rows of wooden houses. There is a passage in the middle of each row, and there are ten rooms on the left and right.

These wooden boards were exposed to wind, sun and rain, and looked very worn.

Some soldiers wearing old military uniforms were sitting at the door, basking in the sun, smoking and playing cards, probably gambling.
