Chapter 169: Dead Trees Meet Spring

(Not for reference)

February 15, 1922, Qingjiang Ferry.

The long river is desolate, the towers are obscured by fog, the moon obscures the ferry, and the withered branches on the shore are covered with frost and weeping with dew.

At the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the river water was steaming and the cold air penetrated into the skin, making people shiver.

"Hurry up! The ship is about to leave!"

The dock was very crowded. When people heard the boat was about to depart, they moved faster.

"Everyone, don't move! No boating allowed!" A loud male voice sounded.

"Stop and get checked!"

After a burst of hurried and orderly footsteps, rows of soldiers holding rifles lined up neatly at the ferry. The light of the searchlight pierced through the clouds and fog, and when it swept across the soldiers' faces, serious expressions could be seen.

The passengers who wanted to enter or exit the ferry looked panicked and looked around in panic.

A tall man dressed as an aide-de-camp adjusted his military cap and shouted, "Line up! Five rows! The Yue Marshal's Office is arresting spies! Everyone cooperate with the inspection! Anyone who resists the inspection will be regarded as a spy and arrested!"

"Now, everyone on the boat, get down and line up!"

As the adjutant finished speaking, the soldiers led the crowd into line in an orderly manner and checked them one by one.

Soon, teams of soldiers holding torches arrived, the light of the flames reflected on the faces of the people present, and one team boarded the ship to search.

People held their luggage tightly and accepted the inspection nervously. The inspection line moved quickly and orderly.

There are two ships docked at the pier, one of which has just arrived and the other is about to depart. Now all passengers on both ships, whether they are getting on or off, have to come down for inspection.

A tall man in a neat military uniform and a cloak walked out of the darkness. The sound of his boots stepping on the deck was very rhythmic, but it made people feel cold and oppressive for no reason.

The light of the torch illuminated his cold and tough face. His brows were indifferent and his eyes were compelling. Under the moonlight, he seemed to be carrying a murderous aura.

Yue Xiangli glanced at the crowd indifferently, lowered his head slightly, and quickly fiddled with the black thing in his hand with a slightly hot barrel, pulled open the magazine and put the bullet in.

Behind him, a man who looked like an officer ran behind Yue Xiangli with a dozen people.

Lin Pingyi saluted him and said, "Report to the commander-in-chief, all the enemies in the city have been eliminated!"

Yue Xiangli's deep voice was cold, "Go check, speed up, don't delay too long."

This game of catching turtles in a jar should end tonight.

"Yes!" Lin Pingyi and his men joined the inspection team.

As time passed, two people in the crowd were detained one after another, causing panic.

At the end of the line, a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat was holding a brown safe in his hand and backing away step by step.

Yue glanced at Li Yuguang, raised the gun in his hand, pressed his finger on the trigger, and a gunshot rang out. The man who was retreating was hit in the knee. He screamed in pain and knelt on one knee.

The nearby soldiers twisted his arm and dragged him down.

After the gunshots, the crowd rioted, screaming one after another, and the soldiers controlled the situation.

The person closest to him was a girl wearing a light green modified wide-sleeved, wide-waisted skirt. A drop of blood splattered on the wooden board in front of her. She took a step back with her body stiff, glanced at the detained person, and then looked towards Yue Xiangli in the direction of the voice. Her fingers holding the suitcase tightened, and her finger bones turned slightly white.

Her eyes were clear and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly. The clear river behind her reflected the morning light. She was wearing old clothes and seemed to have walked out of the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

Its daybreak.

Their eyes met. Yue glanced at Li Weiwei, who was pretending to be calm, and then looked away.

The Pearl of All Worlds floated beside him, glanced at him, and said nothing.

Duan Huxia shouted in a gruff voice from the front: "Hurry up, those behind!"

The girl took a deep breath, walked forward with the box, and placed it in front of the soldier.

The soldier opened it and flipped through it. "What are you doing in Zhencheng?"

"Looking for relatives." She steadied her voice and said.

The soldier didn't mess up the things. He put them aside after reading them and looked at her for a moment longer. "Close it yourself, next one!"

Ning Sangyu squatted aside, buckled the box, and stood up holding the box.

Duan Huxia patted the soldier on the head and scolded, "What are you looking at?! Hurry up! I'm in a hurry to go back and eat!"

The soldier touched his head, not daring to object, and sped up the inspection.

The exit was next to Yue Xiangli. Ning Sangyu walked by with a box in her arms. She quickened her pace and almost trotted away. The wind she brought with her scared away the morning dew on the dead branches, and a bit of green could be vaguely seen on the branches.

The dead tree meets spring.

Yue Xiangli watched her flustered figure disappear in the crowd.

"Host, you scared the target of the mission." Wanjiezhu spoke at this time.

Yue Xiangli glanced at it, then followed the sound of footsteps and looked towards Duan Huxia who was running towards him.

"Marshal, the inspection is complete!"

"Retreat." Yue turned towards Li, his black cloak opening up a corner in an arc.

Duan Huxia raised his hands and said, "Withdraw the troops!"

The soldiers lined up, the orderly footsteps left, the oppressive feeling disappeared, and the ferry dock returned to its bustle.

After getting on the carriage and returning to the Yue Mansion, Yue Xiangli strode into the house, took off his cloak and handed it to the adjutant Lin Pingyi beside him, "Send all the captured people for trial, pry their mouths open, and go to Yingle Tower tonight."

"Let Duan Huxia take people to guard the entrance and exit in advance, so as not to miss any."

"understand!"

Zhao Bo, the old housekeeper of the Yue Mansion, had been guarding the courtyard for a long time. Seeing Yue Xiangli coming back, he hurried forward, eyes full of love, "Xiangli, breakfast and bath water are ready, come and eat and take a rest."

"Well, please don't stay up all night. You can't stand it when you are too old." Yue Xiangli walked into the hall.

"I couldn't sleep after hearing the gunshots, so I did something and waited for you to come back." Zhao Bo was relieved to see him come back, "I'll go to bed now."

After breakfast and a shower, Yue Xiangli took a nap and woke up around noon.

While having lunch, footsteps were heard, but Yue Xiangli didn't even raise his head.

"Brother, I'm back." Yue Xiangchen had just returned from school. After calling him, he sat down opposite Yue Xiangli, picked up the chopsticks and started eating from the bowl.

After swallowing a mouthful of rice, Yue Xiangchen said, "I heard from Adjutant Lin that you are going to Yingle Tower tonight. You have to bring a companion when you go to Yingle Tower. Do you want me to change into women's clothes and go with you?"

Yue looked at Li and asked, "Are you sick?"

From his height and face, even a fool can tell that he is a man.

Yue Xiangchen choked, "You scolded me again, and you don't have a female companion. I helped you and you still scolded me."

"You're helping me by not running around." Yue Xiang said to Li Youran, "Shut up, eat well, and go to the training ground after the holiday to practice and get rid of your stupidity."

Yue Xiangchen ate his rice angrily.

After dinner, Yue Xiangli went to the interrogation room.

"Marshal!" The soldiers saluted him.

The smell of blood lingered at his nose. Yue Xiangli nodded slightly and walked in.

When Lin Pingyi saw him come in, he saluted and handed him two pieces of paper. The portrait soldier next to him was painting according to the description.

Yue Xiangli took it and looked at it, "Let's catch all the rats in the city tonight."

"clear."

Yue Xiangli stood with his hands behind his back and watched the ensuing interrogation.

A soldier came in from outside, saluted and said, "General, Lingping City has been captured."

"Let Zheng Kaisheng continue to defend, the Huan Clan will attack the city."

"Yes!"

After confirming the final list, Yue Xiangli returned to Yuegong Mansion to handle military affairs.

Duan Huxia came in from outside, "Marshal, I found out that the Shui Gang and the Li Gang will have a conflict tonight."
