Ling Shu was panting.
He was panting so hard that it was painful.
A fire was burning in his chest and lungs, constantly surging upwards, rushing to find an exit.
The rib was like a blunt knife was slicing away, and from time to time it stabbed hard into the flesh, and the pain was so painful that people wanted to roll on the ground and wailed.
Not to mention the torment of the internal organs, like a river and a sea, the headache is splitting, and the limbs are hot.
But Ling Shu neither rolled nor howled.
He just had his chest heaving and breathing heavily.
The breath was so clear in the darkness that even he himself felt deafening.
Ling Shu pressed on Yue Dingtang.
It's not that he deliberately wants to take advantage of others, it's that he has no strength to move.
No movement in the dark.
After the gunshots, everything seemed to return to ancient times.
The surroundings were quiet, and even outside the corridor, there seemed to be no movement at all.
Yue Dingtang, there are only two of them here
Nobody outside
So how did they get here and find Ivanov's whereabouts
The weaker the body, the clearer the mind.
Ling Shu is waiting.
Wait for Yue Dingtang to push him away.
Or, shoot him in the temple.
Once it's over, it's all over.
But what he waited for was his body being slowly lifted up.
"Are you dead?"
Ling Shu heard Yue Dingtang ask this.
"… not yet."
A mouth, the voice is all mute.
He felt the taste of blood in his mouth, and there was a constant stream of heat rising up, painful and hot.
"Your gun should not miss this bullet."
"I hesitated."
Yue Dingtang said he hesitated.
Ling Shu wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
He still remembered the feeling of the gun on his forehead just now.
The moment he pounced on Yue Dingtang, he really didn't expect that he would survive.
Even if the other party fired a shot at him, he would be 70% to 80% sure, avoid the key points, grab the gun, kill the Mr. Liu, and then subdue Yue Dingtang, suppress the situation, and hold out until Lao Yuan comes over.
Even though this body hadn't been so turbulent for many years, he tried his best to let the old bones burn in the end, and it was still okay.
Since he stepped into this pit of Lao Yuan, he must be good at the beginning and end, and help people fill in the soil.
"Mr. Liu, who is it?"
"From the Municipal Office."
"You shot him."
"If there is no accident, it should be dead."
Yue Dingtang's tone was light, like floating in the sky.
But Ling Shu felt that it might be because his head was spinning around him that everything seemed to be floating.
Tohoku is now Japanese territory, no doubt about that.
Although the Municipal Office was nominally the official government of Fengtian City, it also used local officials. Some of them may have been left over when Zhang Zuolin was in office, but these people must also be Japanese behind them.
Weeds without roots will not last long.
No matter who is behind this Mr. Liu, it would be a big trouble for Yue Dingtang to kill him.
And since the two came together, it means that at least not long ago, they were still on the same boat.
In a twinkling of an eye, he turned his face when he said that.
It is up to the owner to beat a dog. Yue Dingtang beat a man to death, can he escape safely
Ling Shu has a bunch of questions to ask.
But he was very tired, and now he just wanted to close his eyes and have a good sleep.
But even this wish is a luxury.
It was freezing cold, and the soil under him was particularly cold. In the early spring, there was no warmth in the northeast, and Ling Shu even felt that there was ice slag and frost in the soil.
Otherwise, how could it be so cold.
Straight through the texture, cold to the bone marrow.
The eyelids are getting heavier.
A sudden slap on the face!
"Don't sleep."
Ling Shu: …
Damn you, "Can you take it lightly?"
"Don't sleep, where is the thing you said?"
Ling Shu said lazily, "So Mr. Yue wants to take it all by himself?"
Yue Dingtang: "Three forks, one for life, one for death, and one for things. The one you wanted to take me just now was a dead end, right?"
Ling Shu was silent.
In the darkness, he heard the movement of striking a match.
The lantern was lit again.
The glass cover was cracked, but barely able to illuminate.
"Can I still go?" Yue Dingtang asked him.
"I can't." Ling Shu remained motionless, determined to follow the wall forever and never be separated.
Yue Dingtang did not force him.
"Since this road is a dead end, then there are two more, both of which can be taken, I will go and see first."
He took the lamp and walked to the side road.
Ling Shu's heart moved.
"Wait, I'll go with you."
He leaned against the wall and got up slowly, it was hard to breathe.
Yue Dingtang stuffed the lantern into his hand.
Ling Shu: ? ?
"Are you human? I've been hurt like this, and you still let me carry the lantern."
"I'll carry you."
After Yue Dingtang finished speaking, he patted his arm and motioned him to lie on his back.
Ling Shu found that his movements were quite light, and carefully avoided the rib injury. Ling Shu handed over the weight of his entire body to the other party, and the heat of a skin-to-skin kiss came, so he could not help but slowly let out a breath.
Much more comfortable.
"My second brother has been very close with the Japanese side, and I don't even know much about the inside story. This time to go to Guan's family for funeral is the best opportunity. I entrusted me to contact the people from the Municipal Office, and took over Mr. Cheng's stay at the beginning. The stall under it is equivalent to taking over the connection between the Northeast and Shanghai.”
Ling Shu hummed, so light that he didn't even notice it.
Yue Dingtang seemed to have heard it and continued to speak.
"You know, although the Yue family is not very wealthy now, but they don't have to worry about food and clothing, plus the connections between the eldest and the second child, they are enough to stand tall in Shanghai. But—"
"However," Ling Shu coughed twice and continued, "There will be gains and losses. It is not an easy task to maintain a perfect balance between the various forces, and not everyone can allow the Yue family to have both sides."
Yue Dingtang: "Yes, the eldest brother and the second child have a disagreement because of this. The second child feels that Japan is currently in a state of collapse, and with the trend in Nanjing, it may be necessary to give up part of its territory in the future and have a good relationship with the Japanese, which will benefit more than Disadvantages. But the boss believes that Europe and the United States will not sit idly by, and the Japanese are too good at doing things, and their reputations are even worse. The Yue family has enough to protect themselves, and there is no need to go into this troubled water again.”
His speech rate was not slow, and his tone was low, but when he heard it in Ling Shu's ears, it was like a shock.
What Yue Dingtang said now must be a little-known secret of the Yue family.
This kind of thing can be understood and cannot be expressed in words.
Ling Shu has been with Yue Dingtang for so long, and he has heard it on and off, but he has never asked.
It's about the way of the Yue family's foothold. Yue Dingtang is just a university professor, and he doesn't get involved in this. If you ask, he may not know, and if he knows, he may not be able to say it. There seems to be a transparent boundary between the two, which cannot be crossed or tested.
Ling Shu did not know Yue Dingtang's trump card, and Yue Dingtang did not know Ling Shu's secret.
"You don't have to tell me this."
Yue Ding Tang turned a deaf ear.
"The second child can't go to the Northeast in person, it's too conspicuous, so he thought of me."
"I also want to know how deep the second child is in this muddy water, so I have to come and go by myself."
"Do you remember the day Ying Zuo came to pick me up at the Municipal Office? The car we were riding in exploded on the spot. In fact, I already knew this would happen because someone notified me in advance. I also know that the bomb was placed in Ying Zuo. Under the seat, so I deliberately sat in a position diagonally behind him, and when the explosion happened, I could open the door in time to escape without hurting my life."
"The subsequent ward bombings were also deliberately arranged. The people who planned the bombings wanted to get rid of the people behind Mr. Liu through these two things. Even if I didn't show up, things would probably happen as scheduled, but I It is a pawn that actively joined, and actively played a role."
Ling Shu felt as if he understood, but it was still vague.
At first he thought it was a force that hated the Japanese, maybe it was Lao Yuan's accomplice.
But then I found out that it didn't seem to be the case.
Until Yue Ding Tang revealed the inside story.
"Fengtian City is not monolithic. There are also factions here, and there are people fighting within."
Ling Shu finally fully understood.
"Mr. Cheng, Ying Zuo, Mr. Liu, and even the people behind Mr. Liu, as well as your second brother, are all on one side. As for the bombing, the people who don't want you to cooperate are the people on the other side?"
Yue Dingtang: "That's right. I didn't want the Yue family to be dragged into the quagmire by the second child, so I used the people on the other side to make trouble and cut off his chance to cooperate with Mr. Liu."
At this time, Ling Shu lightly patted his shoulder.
Yue Ding Tang stopped and put him down.
The lantern faintly illuminated the outline ahead.
"There is a ravine in front of it. People who are impatient can easily fall and get injured. Even if they step over it, there will be arrow nets falling from it."
"Tang Yulin left it?"
"No, it was made by Lao Yuan and Mr. Guan."
The two were very close, and Ling Shu was gasping for breath again.
All the heat was sprayed on Yue Dingtang's ear.
A little itchy and numb.
He couldn't help raising his hand, trying to scratch his ears.
But in the middle of the hand, he naturally turned around and supported Ling Shu's waist to help him sit more comfortably.
"You didn't need to kill Mr. Liu just now." Ling Shu said.
Yue Dingtang's expression was light: "His marksmanship is very accurate, and he is also ruthless in killing people. If I am one step behind, it will be you who will die."
Ling Shu: "Why did you come here?"
Yue Dingtang: "Mr. Liu got the news that the pagoda that Mr. Guan left for me contains a secret."
Ling Shu Yile, how could he be fooled again
"Secrets about the treasures of the former Qing Dynasty?"
Yue Dingtang: "Maybe Qianqing didn't leave a treasure, but Mr. Guan must have left something important, otherwise, you and Lao Yuan wouldn't have come here in the middle of the night. The death of Ying Zuo, let the person behind Mr. Liu's back People were very angry. Mr. Liu wanted to take back a city and make merit. After he got the whereabouts of Ivanov, he followed me all the way over, hoping to come out on top before the others and get this batch of treasures. "
Ling Shu: "I was ready to die just now."
Yue Dingtang: "I know."
Ling Shu murmured: "I didn't expect that you would kill him directly. Lao Yue, to this day, I still can't fully understand what you are thinking. However, if you can escape from death, sit with you Gossip is common here, and I…”
you-
Very emotional, very moved, very excited
Ling Shu's voice became lower and lower.
Yue Dingtang couldn't hear clearly, so he couldn't help but get closer.
Who knows that the other party is also close to his ear.
Yue Dingtang was very calm and wanted to say something, in a chaotic situation, it is possible to reverse the impermanence.
He wanted to ask Ling Shu and Lao Yuan whether they were old acquaintances, where they wanted to get their things, and who was there to meet them.
He also wanted to ask that Ling Shu drugged him that night, did he ever think about the situation after he found out? Does the other party plan to go to the northeast and fly away from now on, not seeing each other
But Ling Shu didn't speak for a long time, and he swallowed all these voices inexplicably.
Silent and silent, heart beating like a drum.
Ling Shu's lips were so close that they were about to touch the hot skin.
Yue Ding Tang did not move.
Only the throat was slightly slid up and down.
If, he means, if the surnamed Ling is really kissed, will he refuse or not
