Chapter 141: The Loyal Soul of Huaxia

  Xia Lin seemed to realize she had been cheated and quickly said: "Don't say any more, I won't listen." 81 Chinese net √.

  I didn't say anything because I saw a familiar place.

  This is the burial site of some of the warriors from the Hu Long Lian and a resting place for the loyal souls of China.

  Looking back, we were framed by Wang Yingzu and came to this battlefield. Many soldiers of the Dragon Guard have been sleeping here forever and never returned.

  I silently gazed at the solitary graves by the railway tracks, looking at the martyrs' cemetery that seemed somewhat ominous under the lamp light, and I no longer had the heart to tease Xia Lin and Dongfang Yonghao.

  In my mind, I suddenly remembered all the comrades of the Dragon Guard who had sacrificed. I recalled our battles on the Three Gorges Dam, our battles at the Wuhan New Energy Research Base, and also the moment when I saw them on this battlefield...

  My heart is racing, my eyes are slowly getting wet, my hands are tightly clenched, as if grasping the neck of the enemy who killed our comrades. My fingers are gradually turning white, and my face must be gradually turning pale too...

  The train didn't stop, it slowly left the place that made me very sad. My mood didn't improve with the departure of the train, on the contrary, my heart felt even heavier.

  So I sank my face and didn't say another word.

  Xia Lin seemed to have noticed my abnormality and said somewhat strangely: "What's wrong, feeling tired and wanting to rest for a while?"

  I didn't reason with her, but instead turned around and quietly wiped my eyes.

  Dongfang Yonghao finally found the opportunity to counterattack, smiling and saying: "No need to say, must have thought of former comrades. We just passed by a martyr's cemetery, where Comrade Jin Cang's comrades are buried underground..."

  I let out a thunderous roar, my low voice scaring off Dongfang Yonghao's unfinished words. I glared at him coldly, my voice barely audible even to myself, filled with rage and sorrow: "You dare utter another word like that, I'll definitely kill you!"

  Dongfang Yonghao seemed to be scared by me and didn't say anything else. On the other hand, Xia Lin asked curiously: "What happened here? Why did you become like this? Did something happen to your loved one too?"

  As for the woman's gossipy nature, I felt there was no way to deal with it, so I tried my best to control my anger and slowly said: "This is where I buried dozens of brothers from the Dragon Guard..."

  Xia Lin slightly furrowed her brow, her tone somewhat regretful: "Hulónglián's warriors? Those are the elite of the army, I didn't expect dozens to be sacrificed in an instant here... When did this happen, why have we never heard anyone mention it?"

  I took a deep breath and said slowly, "No one will mention it, because their deaths were originally a huge mistake, and also a huge conspiracy..." My voice was very hollow, as if it came from the distant hell.

  Xia Lin shivered and asked cautiously: "What's going on?"

  "My thoughts slowly returned to the beginning, my voice slowly came out of my mouth: 'Our Dragon Guard was on a mission in Wuhan, we had already suffered heavy casualties and urgently needed rest and reorganization. But... at that time, there was someone who forged an order, transferring our last few dozen brothers here to fight head-on with the enemy who invaded us at the time..."

  I was very detailed about the situation at that time, one by one, ten by ten, said it all out, very detailed, didn't miss a single bit.

  As I finished speaking, my tears had already flowed uncontrollably: "I didn't protect them well, and they died here. It's all my fault, I implicated them..." My heart was like a knife being twisted, the pain made me bend over at the waist.

  Just then, a hand quietly grasped mine, and a very gentle voice entered my ear: "This is not your fault, it's all Wang Yingzu, it's all his fault..."

  I subconsciously nodded, and suddenly the person holding my hand was actually Xia Lin. I looked at her in some confusion, then quickly withdrew my hand.

  I forced myself to calm down, then pretended to be a normal person and smiled: "I've already avenged them, my...my brothers can rest in peace now......haha......I..."

  My laughter is even harder to hear than crying, so I'd better stop talking.

  Dongfang Yonghao did not attack me at this most opportune moment, but instead said with a straight face: "The people of the Dragon Guard are all good sorts, they're our heroes."

  I gave him a strange look and then gritted my teeth, saying: "Although I don't like you, but this sentence of yours... I will spare your life in the future if we are still enemies."

  Dongfang Yonghao didn't get angry, instead he smiled and said: "Thanks! If I had the chance to kill you, I would also spare your life once."

  I burst out laughing, and Dongfang Yonghao also burst out laughing. Our laughter was filled with inexplicable sadness, and also filled with inexplicable grandeur.

  The old man sitting in front of me suddenly said, "So you are General Jin Cangjin, the instructor of the Hu Long Lian. No wonder you have such an extraordinary performance. I was rude earlier, please don't mind."

  I suddenly realized that I had unknowingly exposed my identity completely, and what's even more frightening is that everyone in this carriage stood up, staring at me motionlessly. Their eyes were filled with three parts doubt and seven parts incomprehension.

  It's probably because of my previous behavior when I teased Xia Lin and Dongfang Yonghao that everyone thought I was a rascal, but now they know I'm Jin Cang, the instructor of the original Hu Long Squad, and suddenly everyone is confused.

  I feel like a failure, everything I've worked hard for has been destroyed by myself in an instant. So I dryly laughed and said: "Everyone sit down, no need to be nervous. I'm also human, just two hands and two feet, not some kind of three-headed six-armed monster, nothing special to look at."

  My words immediately made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and they sat down laughing. Some even began to discuss me and the story I had just told about the dragon guard regiment.

  I felt very tired, closed my eyes and sat on the chair, slowly fell asleep. I really fell asleep, just like at home, completely off guard.

  I don't know how long I slept, because when I woke up, there were only a few people left on the bus. And Xia Lin and Dongfang Yonghao, who had been sitting next to me all along, were also gone.

  I secretly regretted it, thinking I had lost them.

  But my regret didn't last long, because just as I was about to get off the bus and go find them, they surprisingly came back with their meals.

  As soon as she saw me, Xia Lin said: "Are you awake? Come and eat quickly, it's just been cooked, it's still hot."

  When it comes to the word "rehe", I suddenly feel that there is a chill in the car. So I take a look at the window and then exclaim: "Where are we, how come it's snowing?"

  Xia Lin smiled and said: "This is already Xinjiang, at this time of year in Xinjiang it should be snowing, there's nothing strange about that."

  I rubbed my head and laughed: "It's only August, how can it snow? It seems that the place we are in now should be high enough."

  Xia Lin smiled and said, "You're right, this is the central part of Xinjiang, Tian Shan. Have you heard of it? The place we are in now is usually called Beijiang, which is the northern part of Tian Shan."

  I was secretly shocked and didn't expect that I had slept for so long. When I woke up, I had already arrived at the foot of Tian Shan in Xinjiang.

  I don't know what this place is called, nor do I know where our destination is. So I asked: "Where are we going? To the top of Tian Shan?"

  Dongfang Yonghao said: "We came over to take care of some things and then leave here for a place you can't imagine."

  I looked puzzled and laughed: "How long have I slept? Are you guys kidding me?"

  Xia Lin said: "You slept for a whole day and night, no matter how I called you, you couldn't wake up. You're too tired, you need to rest well, otherwise your body will collapse sooner or later."

  I didn't put Xia Lin's concern in my heart at all. The enemy's concern is useless even if I put it in my heart, and who knows when the concern will turn into sorrow: "Where are we going then?"

  Xia Lin smiled and said, "We'll be there soon, you don't need to get off the bus, it will head back after this stop. This is the last station. We... Dongfang Yonghao will get off to take care of something, then we'll head back together. As for where we're going, that depends on the situation and can only be decided later."

  I frowned and said: "What's going on? You had me run all the way here, only to be a false alarm?"

  Xia Lin still smiled and said: "Don't forget that you were our enemy before, it's normal that we don't trust you."

  I nodded vaguely and felt the train slowing down, probably arriving at a station. So I looked out of the window to see where we were.

  Xia Lin seemed to have discussed it with Dongfang Yonghao, and as soon as she saw me looking out the window, she immediately stood up and deliberately blocked my view.

  I saw her full chest swaying in front of me and subconsciously sat back. I wanted to ask her why she wouldn't let me look outside, but then I heard her say: "Our people are going to do something with Dongfang Yonghao, you can't see them for now."

  I understood what she meant, but I still felt a bit resentful and quietly thought about looking out the window from the other side. However, Xia Lin reacted quickly and suddenly stretched out her hand to hold me back, saying: "If you move around again, I'll shout 'indecent behavior' and let the police on the bus catch you."

  I was taken aback, and then I bitterly smiled: "Then you don't have to be like this either... I'm not some kind of virtuous Liu Xiahui who can remain calm in the face of temptation. If you don't let go, and I end up doing something that wrongs you, don't blame me."

  Xia Lin smiled lightly and said: "If you dare to lay a hand on me, the gun in my hand might just go off."

  As soon as she finished speaking, I immediately felt a gun pressed against my abdomen. No need to think, this gun must be the one I asked the flight attendant for earlier. Originally, I wanted to use it for self-defense, but now it has become Xia Lin's tool to deal with me. I really didn't dare move, but my mouth could still speak: "What are you doing? Don't touch my abdomen, I'll also shout harassment."

  Xia Lin's body trembled slightly, and then she hugged me even more tightly: "If you shout for help, I'm sure no one will believe you."

  I helplessly said, "Miss, isn't it enough that I promised not to move? You let me go first. If my girlfriend sees you like this and comes to fight with you, who do you think I'll help?"

  Xia Lin smiled and said: "You've already hugged me before, I felt pretty good. Now I'll hug you back, consider it a return favor. Don't move, my gun really will go off."

  I originally wanted to push her away, but I didn't expect her to say that. So I was happy to enjoy the beauty's favor and also stretched out my hand to hug her, and even patted her back intentionally.

  Her body trembled slightly, as if the slap had hurt her a bit. But she didn't say anything, still holding me tightly with one hand and pointing the gun at my abdomen with the other.

  It seems that the person they were in contact with this time was not of low status, otherwise, Xia Lin would not have sacrificed herself to protect that person. Thinking of these things, I said: "Isn't it just your Queen Mother who has arrived? I don't need to look, and you didn't need to sacrifice yourself either?"

  Xia Lin's body trembled again, and she slowly loosened her grip: "How did you know the person who came was our Wang Mu? Did you pretend to sleep just now and eavesdrop on my conversation?"

  I shook my head: "I just think you're making a big deal out of nothing, isn't it just someone coming to meet Dongfang Yonghao? There's no need for you to do this. So I thought about it and figured it out, the person who came must be very important, otherwise you wouldn't sacrifice yourself to protect him, so I tried to probe a bit, didn't expect to get it right on the first try."

  Xia Lin let out a soft sigh: "It seems you really are Jin Cang, incredibly formidable. We underestimated you before, no wonder we ended up losing miserably."

  I laughed: "But aren't I also being led astray by you guys now, following you here? But to be honest, just now when you hugged me, it really felt good. Why don't you hug me for a bit longer?"

  Xia Lin's face turned red instantly, she glared at me fiercely and said: "When Dongfang Yonghao comes back later, don't you dare to talk nonsense!"

  I smiled and nodded slightly, no longer teasing her.

  Ten minutes later, Dongfang Yonghao came back, with a large backpack on his back, bulging as if it was full of something.

  I was a bit curious and said: "Take so much food? Where are we going? It won't be a deserted place, will it?"

  Dongfang Yonghao ignored me and instead said to Xia Lin: "Miss, Queen Mother wants you to get off here and go back with them. What do you think?"

  Xia Lin looked at me and shook her head slightly: "I'm not assured to let you go back alone, I'd better go with you." After a pause, she added: "Jin Cang is still in the car, someone needs to keep an eye on him."

  Dongfang Yonghao's eyes flashed with a strange expression, he turned his head to look at me, his eyes cold: "I understand, let Wang Mu go first."

  Dongfang Yonghao put down his backpack and got off the bus. I took the backpack without hesitation, reached inside and pulled out a square box.

  The box was square and looked just like a soap box. I picked up the box and opened it with ease.

  Then I exclaimed in surprise: "So many gems? Where did they come from?" Inside the box, it was filled with ping-pong ball-sized, five-colored stones that looked like precious gems, dazzling and radiant.

  Xia Lin slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "Don't be alarmed, this is not a gemstone, it's our latest bomb made of energy stone. Don't look at their colorful appearance, once launched, one such bomb can destroy a three-story small building."

  I was secretly shocked: "Isn't that enough to blow up an area of one hundred square meters? This bomb is so small, does it have such great power?"

  Xia Lin nodded, with a proud face: "This is the bomb we've spent countless efforts to develop successfully, named Xiaotiaoqi. The killing radius when it explodes is as large as five meters. Moreover, the shockwave and high temperature it produces will destroy everything within a ten-meter radius."

  I took a deep breath: "A ten-meter radius is completely destroyed, just with this one? You're not actually trying to deceive me, are you? Why don't we find a place to try it out first?"

  Xia Lin's eyes turned cold and she said: "Who wants to deceive you? If you don't believe it, then forget it. Anyway, I didn't want you to believe me either."

  I wasn't going to tease her again, but seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh and say: "It seems that you've slowly started treating me as one of your own, which is a good thing. I'm finally starting to get close to all of you."

  Xia Lin's face changed instantly, and she said coldly: "Put down what you're holding in your hand. Who allowed you to rummage through our things?"

  I smiled and closed the box in my hand, then put it into my backpack, and then took out another thing.

  Xia Lin looked at me with a somewhat helpless expression, as if she had seen a petty ghost and a greedy ghost. I ignored her, looking at the thing in my hand, and exclaimed in surprise: "This seems to be money, let me see how much..."

  Xia Lin finally couldn't help it: "Do you know what a thief is? You're acting like one right now, that's a typical..."

  I interrupted her: "You don't say, this money is really a lot, at least over a million, right? What are you doing with so much cash? Going on a shopping tour?"

  Xia Lin snatched the bag of cash from my hand and loudly said, "Put it down, it's not yours, what are you rummaging through?"

  I smiled and said: "Although this is not mine, it's my girlfriend's thing. I'm just taking a look, what's the big deal?"

  Xia Lin glared and stood up abruptly: "You dare to spout nonsense again and I'll kill you!"

  I pretended to be afraid and shrank my head, saying in a low voice: "Don't get angry, getting angry will make you grow acne, that's not good-looking."

  Xia Lin's face turned red, and she didn't say another word, but instead sat back down, not even looking at me, and said to herself: "You're such a person, how can you be so unscrupulous? Earlier at the martyr's tomb, I thought you weren't a heartless person, and I even kindly advised you. Who would have thought that you're actually a scoundrel, a stinky rascal..."

  As soon as she mentioned the martyrs' tomb, I immediately lost the thought of teasing her and said in a low voice: "You are not worthy to mention the martyrs, shut up!"

  Xia Lin was taken aback, and then angrily said: "What do you have to say? Although we are not satisfied with the current government's actions, we also know that those who sacrificed for the country and the people are our heroes, our martyrs. We have paid tribute to them, mourned them, and learned from them. We take them as role models, wanting to fight for more benefits for our ordinary people... Do you think it's just you brainless soldiers who are the heroes of the country and the people? I tell you, you're wrong! Dead wrong!"

  I saw Xia Lin's face full of excitement, her tone getting higher and higher as she spoke, and I couldn't help but say: "You are standing on the opposite side of peace, you are the ones who destroy the peaceful lives of ordinary people, how can you still be so self-righteous?"

  "Where there is oppression, there is resistance! You must have heard this phrase before?! You're just a stubborn mule who only knows how to blindly follow rules and doesn't know how to think for yourself... It's really hopeless trying to teach you! Let me tell you why we oppose the current government!"

  I raised an eyebrow: "I'm all ears!"

  Xia Lin made an effort to calm down her excited emotions and said slowly: "The people from our place have had the idea of opposing the current government for a long time, but it has never been put into action. Do you know why?"

  I shook my head and thought to myself: "It can't be another case of corruption or abuse of power by the management, harming the local people again?"

  Xia Lin took a deep breath and said, "I'll tell you why. It's because those who are dissatisfied with the local government's actions have all been killed by you wooden-headed soldiers and those stinky cops who only know how to collect protection fees. You heard me right, I said killed, not arrested!"

  I was shocked and immediately asked: "When did this happen?"

  Xia Lin let out a cold laugh, then suddenly burst into tears: "When? You ask me when? I'll tell you, it was two years ago! At that time, I was still studying in Beijing, full of hope for the future. I thought that if I worked hard, after graduating from university, I could find a good job and then marry someone who loved me, living happily ever after. But..."

  Her voice suddenly turned icy, as if filled with hatred: "But on that day, my hometown received the bad news, those damned soldiers and police, indiscriminately killed all my family and friends!" She stared at me fiercely, her eyes full of bloodshot: "Do you know? My 12-year-old sister and 5-year-old brother were also killed! They were so young, what crime did they commit? What right do you have to kill them too? You are ruthless, you are lawless... you all deserve to die!"
