"Hao Kun, who was that?" The head of the Akizuki family, Akizuki Tanaga, looked at Chu Yunsheng who just walked past them. His eyes were filled with suspicion. He opened his palm and held Hao Xu's hand while speaking fluent Chinese.
"He is a new friend of ours. He came to River East to deal with some personal matters." Hao Xu skillfully covered it up. His words were ambiguous and ambiguous. He didn't clearly state the relationship between Chu Yunsheng and them, but he also emphasized that they were "friends", which made the Japanese people afraid of him. Although the topic seemed to be very casual, it was actually a very "normal" statement.
"Oh, I see, Hao Kun?" Akizuki Tanenaga's eyes moved slightly, a faint and undetectable light flashed across his eyes, and he said with a look of realization.
Hao Xu glanced in the direction of Hoshino's house and said calmly, "It's like this. Most of the people in Jiangdong are foreigners. We don't speak the same language, so I'm afraid that it'll be inconvenient for us to move around. That's why I came down to say hello to Mr. Akizuki.
The reason why he wanted to "say hello" to the Akizuki family was because only the Akizuki family could make him feel at ease. Chu Yunsheng was a powerful man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. In Hao Xu's eyes, Chu Yunsheng had become a key person who could decide the outcome of the war between the east and the west of Shen Cheng city. If there was a very small chance that Chu Yunsheng would go to River East's side, then they would have to prepare for it as soon as possible.
Of course, Hao Xu felt that he had a high chance of winning. At least the other party was a Chinese.
"I understand, Hao Kun, don't worry, I will arrange it." Akizuki Tanenaga bowed and looked at the direction of the Hoshino Family: "Hao Kun, I just convinced the two family heads a few days ago, but I hope that today's bloodshed will not happen again. Otherwise, they will all be worried about their survival, and they will all join the hardliners led by the Tachibana Family. Please!"
Hao Xu's brows furrowed for a moment before relaxing. "Mister Qiu Yue, don't worry. I will bring your opinion to my two brothers."
In this kind of matter, he could not make the decision. Even if his two elder brothers wanted to unify the country, their opinions had always been divergent. His second brother thought that only by constantly using force to threaten the Japanese would the Japanese truly obedient and obedient. His eldest brother was always worried that it would incite even greater resistance and increase the casualties on the west side of the Pu River.
"Then I'll leave it to you!" Akizuki Tanenaga bowed respectfully. This seemed to be their unchanging etiquette.
…
Chu Yunsheng did not reject Hao Xu's arrangement. He also understood what Hao Xu was thinking. However, one of the things he needed to do in the Jiang Dong region was to get in touch with the Japanese, and that was to ask them how they crossed the sea.
In fact, although he had not figured out how to cross the sea, he knew very well that if he wanted to cross the Pacific Ocean, there were only two ways. One of them was to take a boat to cross the Pacific Ocean, and the other was to walk on the air. However, he rejected the option of walking on the air. The giant claw that stretched out from the storm clouds in Hong Kong still gave him a lingering fear. That kind of monster that hid in the storm clouds was not something that he and Dark could fight against.
It was just that the monster that had been hiding its true form was different from other sea monsters. At that time, it seemed that it only launched attacks against the invading insects, including the ghastly child. However, it turned a blind eye to the humans who fled to the island. It even stopped chasing at the coastline far away, turned around, and sank into the sea from the air, swimming in the abyss.
Therefore, Chu Yunsheng did not dare to take the risk of using Dark to invade the sea. Once it discovered the smell of Dark in the deep sea far away from the coast and was attacked, he would definitely die. This risk was not worth it at all, it was basically suicide.
Therefore, the only way left was to cross the sea by boat. Since the Japanese were able to cross the sea 600 to 800 kilometers to reach Shen Cheng city, they must have some tricks and tricks up their sleeves. Moreover, it also meant that the monster in the storm did not show up. Otherwise, with its ability, no one would be able to survive.
But before that, Chu Yunsheng still had one more important thing to do. That was to go to his parents' grave. How many years had it been? After leaving Shen Cheng city, he had never been able to come back. Many times, he thought that he would never be able to come back. He even threw away all their belongings, leaving only an ancient book that was left by his ancestors.
He didn't know why, but as soon as he set foot on the land of River East, he had a sense of urgency. He was afraid that if he died, he would never be able to come back again. He wanted to go there, and he had a lot of things to tell them …
However, when he ran all the way to the familiar cemetery on the outskirts of River East, under the dim sky, in the desolate, broken tombstones, in front of the grave where his father and mother were buried together, under the familiar black and white photo, he stood there quietly for a long time, but he still couldn't say a word!
Chu Yunsheng thought that he would cry again, tell all the pain, grievances, sadness … Everything to the people who loved him the most. Somehow, his mother's gentle touch and his father's calm eyes would give him a moment of peace.
However, he could not cry anymore!
His tired mother could no longer hear his call, and his strict father could no longer see his black hair. Only the cold snow grave, in the cold wind, seemed to be telling him the endless longing.
After a long time, he knelt down on his knees, reached out his hand, and gently wiped off the snow on the photo. He only said one sentence, "Dad, mom, I'm useless …"
The cold wind rolled up the broken snowflakes that stuck to the clothes he had just put on, and fell on his messy beard and hair. He looked like a scarecrow in the snow, wearing a white coat, lonely and empty.
His ears gradually echoed the scene of his father holding his hand tightly before he died. His father's eyes were filled with helplessness, love, worry, regret, and a little bit of determination. He tried his best to say in a hoarse voice, "Yunsheng, you have grown up, you have to learn …"
Was it learning to take care of himself, or learning to be strong, or something else? He didn't finish his sentence, he left with regret forever. Chu Yunsheng would never know what the second half of the sentence was. He had been guessing for a long time, but today, he finally understood that the second half of the sentence was not important at all …
"Dad, mom, I'm going to the US to pick up auntie, Xiao Tian, and Xiao Yi …"
The snowflakes that were as white as velvet slowly fell from the sky. In the lonely white world, the lonely figure that came and went in a hurry was walking alone in the vast snow.
*****
One day later, Ming Du Garden, Jiang Dong, Shen Cheng City.
Chu Yunsheng was sitting on the roof of Building No.8 with the newly forged Qian Bi sword. A shiny armor was standing behind him. The howling cold wind with snow and ice was blowing through the buildings, blowing away the scattered cigarette butts and making them fall down along the edge of the building.
Suddenly, he reached out his hand and grabbed a bottle of white wine that was sent by the Qiu Yue family. He raised his head and drank it.
"Bang!"
The empty bottle fell to the ground floor. Chu Yunsheng pulled out Qian Bi sword and started to use the sword technique. Sword light flashed out, piercing through the air. Chu Yunsheng was like a flying shadow, dancing in the air with his sword.
When the sword stabbed out, he seemed to see the first red-shelled insect that was screaming in the building below the eighth building.
When the sword stabbed out, he seemed to see himself almost dying in the mouth of the tentacle monster in the hospital.
…
When the sword stabbed out, he saw Yu Xiaohai being taken away by the red-shelled insect.
When the sword stabbed out, he saw himself being chased by the flaming bird.
When the sword stabbed out, he struggled to crawl out of the mountain of corpses.
…
When the sword stabbed out, he saw a little girl asking him if the porridge was delicious.
When the sword stabbed out, he saw Lao Chui was going to kill his grandson.
…
When the sword stabbed out, he saw himself in a group of tombs. He desperately tried to jump over the river!
When the sword stabbed out, Jin Ling city disappeared in front of him.
…
When the sword stabbed out, he was covered in blood, but he still shouted that he would not surrender!
When the sword stabbed out, Lao Purple and the others died in front of him.
…
When the sword stabbed out ninety-nine times, he saw himself escaping from the sea monster's mouth naked.
After the hundredth strike, he once again saw the love-crazy Zhang Heng and the girl he had saved back then. They were still alive …
In the flying sword Qi, his body was flying all over the sky. Maybe, just maybe, he shouldn't have walked out of this building, he shouldn't have left Shen Cheng city. If that was the case, none of this would have happened. However, he was obsessed with the possibility of "if".
However …
"Bang!"
Countless sword Qi instantly condensed into one. Under Chu Yunsheng's cold eyes, the air suddenly became cold. The sword cut through the armored man's head, and it rolled to the side.
"You, deserve this sword!"
Chu Yunsheng was exhausted and fell to the ground. He was drunk. Lying on the roof of the building that was covered with broken ice, he laughed out loud.
*****
Chiba Xun cried for a very long time. When she finally stopped crying, she allowed her mother and aunties to wash her body and put on layers of faint fragrance. She put on the best clothes that the Akiyue Family could find and put on the best makeup … Everything was the best, but her heart was ice-cold.
After that, she and the other two girls, who were chosen, knelt down in the meeting hall of the Akiyue family. They only had the right to listen, but they didn't have the right to speak.
When their father and brothers swore an oath, their fate was decided.
When the head of the Akiyue family led a group of family members to kneel down in front of the three of them, he said, "The fate of the Akiyue family is in your hands, please!" Qianye Xun surrendered to fate. For the survival of the Akiyue family, she had to serve the man who killed the young man that she deeply loved.
Pain, but still forced a smile; hatred, but still passionately offered her body to him …
Perhaps only the soul was hers, it was the only one that was clean.
Then the men retreated, and the experienced aunties began to teach them all kinds of techniques to please men. Those unsightly postures and movements, as well as those chilling sounds that made people blush.
However, if they made even the slightest mistake, they would be severely punished. Because time was running out, they had to learn like their fathers and brothers who were fighting for survival. Even if it was a humiliating posture or a lowly pronunciation, they had to treat it as a matter of life and death.
But she wouldn't cry anymore. Because only by doing this could she cooperate with her father and brothers, and let the Akiyue family survive!
