Chapter Forty-Two: Beauty's Scheming
As soon as Huang Dajie heard the music played by Cui Qiao, he would feel extremely happy. Unknowingly, he began to like Cui Qiao.
When he was alone, the beautiful picture of him and her among the lotus leaves inexplicably appeared in his mind.
The picture showed him playing the piano, with green feathers fluttering on his sleeves.
He didn't know why such a picture appeared in his mind.
Later, he rarely stayed at home anymore. Whenever he had free time, he would go to the lotus pond and listen to her play music.
The lotus leaves in the sky were infinitely green, the lotus flowers reflected the sun were exceptionally red, and a beautiful woman smiled at him and played music. He was so intoxicated by it that he felt like he was like a person in the painting.
This time, she played the song "The Hairpin-headed Phoenix".
Red crisp hands, yellow wine, the city is full of spring scenery and willows on the palace walls. The east wind is bad, joy is thin, a heart is full of melancholy, and I have been away for a few years. Wrong, wrong, wrong!
Spring is as old as before, people are thin and empty, tears are red and the crocodile silk is transparent. Peach blossoms are falling, leisurely pool pavilion, although the mountain alliance is still there, it is difficult to entrust the brocade book. Mo Mo Mo Mo!
After listening to it, Huang Dajie sighed: "Good song, good song, one of a kind in the world."
Cuiqiao said sadly: "What do people in the world have to do with my piano? I only hope that a lotus pond understands my thoughts. This life is enough."
Huang Dajie heard that Cui Qiao became sad, and he also became sad too.
He sighed and said: "We are both from the end of the world. I studied hard for ten years in my humble life and worked hard in officialdom for ten years. I finally got a full-fledged official position. I should have achieved fame and success and had a successful family. Now I am forty.
My family has not yet been established, but I am besieged by the Japanese pirates, and I am isolated and helpless. I feel miserable as an official."
Huang Dajie was working as an official in another place. He hoped to marry a lady from a wealthy family, at least a girl from a small family. His official position was small at first, but he never got his wish.
Now that I have been promoted to an official position, I see that my wish can come true, but I encounter a Japanese invasion again, which makes me feel sad.
After Cui Qiao heard this, she shed a few tears and sobbed slightly: "My dear, I am concerned about the safety of the people of this city. Little girl, I want to help you solve the Japanese problem, but I am powerless."
Huang Dajie thanked you: "You have already helped me a lot, and I can't thank you enough."
Cuiqiao said: "Sir, it's difficult to defend the isolated city, why not ask for help from the Zhoushan Islands. If they are willing to send an army, Taizhou City will have enough troops."
"Yes!" Huang Dajie nodded and said: "In the past few days, I have also thought about asking for help from Zhoushan Island. Although the Haimen Guards have been occupied by Japanese pirates, the Songmen Guards are still in the hands of the officers and soldiers. If Zhoushan Island is willing to send reinforcements,
You can disembark from Songmonwei."
Songmenwei is another seaport in Ninghai area of Taizhou.
Compared with Haimen Guard, Songmen
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The defense is small and there is no majestic fortress. Moreover, it is far away from Taizhou City and it is flat land, making it difficult to defend.
After the Japanese army captured Haemon Guard, the two hundred officers and soldiers guarding Songmon Guard felt uneasy and abandoned Songmon Guard.
What surprised the officers and soldiers was that the Japanese army did not send troops to occupy Songmenwei as they suspected. Songmenwei had always been without troops.
Cui Qiao came up with an idea and said: "I have a sister who is from Zhoushan Island. She is smart and good at water. She can disguise herself as a fisherman and return to Zhoushan Island. You can ask her to bring a letter to Zhoushan Island to ask for help.
Huang Dajie also sent a messenger to Zhoushan Island two months ago to ask for help, but the messenger never returned. He was probably intercepted and killed by Japanese pirates at sea.
Cuiqiao took the initiative to help send people to rescue, which was of course a good thing. Even if it failed, she would not have lost anything.
"Okay," Huang Dajie said happily: "Of course we can send someone to ask for help. Thank you for your help, Miss."
He returned to the house and wrote a letter asking for help and gave it to Cui Qiao.
Cuiqiao got Huang Dajie's letter asking for help and was so happy that she went back with Qin in her arms.
In the middle of the night, Cui Qiao left the county government office wearing black clothes and covering her face with a black cloth.
She came to the residence of the brothel sisters and invited one of them, Xiaohua, to the room to talk alone.
Cuiqiao said to Xiaohua: "Take the letter asking for help, go to Zhoushan Island and go to sea from Songmenwei."
Xiaohua ordered: "Yes."
Cuiqiao took out a citizen ID card from her sleeve, handed it to Xiao Hua and said, "Remember to give this citizen ID card to the master when you return."
Xiaohua ordered: "I understand."
In order to prevent Japanese pirates and spies from sneaking in, citizens in Taizhou City are issued citizen certificates. Each certificate details their address, place of origin, name, relatives and friends.
Cuiqiao killed a brothel sister who had no relatives or friends and was not noticed by anyone, threw her body into an abandoned well, and took away her citizen ID card.
She gave her citizen ID card to Xiaohua and asked her to give it to Xin Wulang when she returned.
Cuiqiao finished her task and left. Xiaohua rode out of the city the next day.
Qi Ying lives in a private house near the military training ground.
What he practiced today was the circle formation.
The circular formation is a type of field defensive warfare. The militiamen form a circular formation with their shoulders hunched, forming a circular battle formation.
Qi Ying stood in the center of the circular formation, beating the golden drum and waving the flag. The militiamen followed his movements, turning and reversing in a coordinated and orderly manner.
Wang Fengjiao saw Qi
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Ying had been training hard, so he brought him a bowl of water and said, "Instructor, this is for you."
Qi Ying was a little flattered, took the bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and said thank you: "Thank you, Miss Wang."
"You're welcome!" Wang Yuejiao took the bowl and returned it.
She looked around and asked curiously: "Hey, Huang Dajie hasn't been here all day?"
When she asked this question, Qi Yingcai remembered Huang Dajie, who had not been here for six days.
He said curiously: "Yes, I haven't seen him coming for several days."
Wang Yuejiao raised her chin slightly and said dissatisfied: "Humph, this person is really weird."
Hearing what Wang Yuejiao said, Qi Ying also felt strange. Why didn't Huang Dajie come to inspect the training group for six days in a row? He used to come to visit once a day.
Will you get sick?
Qi Ying was so worried that she took time out at noon to go to the county government office to visit Huang Dajie.
He did not find Huang Dajie in any of the side halls of the county government office. He only heard the beautiful sound of the piano coming from the backyard of the county government office.
Who was playing the piano? Out of curiosity, Qi Ying followed the sound of the piano and was surprised to find Huang Dajie sitting next to Cui Qiao, who was teaching him how to play the piano.
Qi Ying's heart skipped a beat, it turned out that she was busy learning the piano, and just now she was worried about his illness or something.
Qi Ying saw two people sitting next to each other, talking and laughing, and was embarrassed to disturb them, so she wanted to turn around and go back.
After taking a few steps, he stopped again. He thought that the Japanese army would soon attack the city again. The safety of the city was at stake, so how could he not care about the war?
He turned around firmly, raised his head and chest, strode up to Huang Dajie, and said loudly: "Sir, I'm here to report on the training situation of the training regiment."
Cuiqiao pressed the strings, her face slightly displeased.
Huang Dajie saw Qi Ying rushing in suddenly, waved his hand and said: "I know, you can go down."
Qi Ying's heart skipped a beat again, what's going on, sir? Don't you care about the training regiment?
He turned around and took just two steps. He couldn't help but turn around again and asked loudly: "Don't you go to inspect the township league?"
Cuiqiao just played two fingers, but was interrupted by Qi Ying again. She pressed the strings again, lowering her head in displeasure.
Huang Dajie was affected and showed displeasure on his face. He said to Qi Ying: "I understand, I will go to inspect tomorrow. Please step back quickly."
Qi Ying had no choice but to bow her head and leave.
Cuiqiao looked at Qi Ying's back and asked in a calm tone: "Sir, Qi Ying is a ranger, are you really safe to leave the township regiment in his hands?"
