Late at night, whistle

The "Shuidian Dragon Boat" sailed through a relatively gentle river channel. On the bank were dense forests. A group of night birds flew up, and their wings flew across the highway in the forest.

A truck was tilted on the road, with a blazing fire, fifteen or sixteen young people covered with grass and blood stains came out: "Luckily Liu Qingming can repair the car, and found a problem with the car, the quality of this car..."

"Wait, what's going on in the woods?"

Someone shouted: "Be careful!"

Bang bang bang bang bang-

A row of dense gunshots tore through Jingye. No matter how agile dodges, they could not resist the sound of ambushing the dark woods. In an instant, four people fell down and the rest rushed in.

Gunshots came one after another, and screams were continuous in the woods.

"There is an ambush, retreat quickly." A young man's body suddenly disappeared, kicked him away, and with a "puff", one person kicked out of the air, flying straight like a puppet, with his bones and body cleaved.

Then, on one side, he dodged a shot, punched him sideways, and another soldier fell out.

"Kill the foreigners and restore the Heavenly Dynasty!"

The young man killed two soldiers, rushed out of the woods with the rest of his teammates, rushed into the river, and swam towards the ship with lights in the dark river.

After a moment, a carriage stopped on the shore, with a complicated black windbreaker, a red lining and a black bow tie. A handsome man got out of the car and looked at the end of the dark river, with a brightly lit luxury ship, like a water palace that would not sink.

"Zhang Alice's Water Palace Dragon Boat of the United Shipping Company." Several foreigners with obvious mercenaries came out, put away their guns, bowed their heads respectfully, and in Breitan: "Mr. An, three radicals ran up. These people were in a panic. They would take action when they saw the ship's foreigners, causing riots. The ship guards and some noble personal guards will help us solve the problem..."

However, after waiting for a while, the Dragon Boat in the Water Palace was quiet.

"Where are the riots you mentioned?" Mr. An looked at the few people with expressionless expression.

The mercenary captain shrugged and spread his hands: "Maybe there is a response? It doesn't matter, they always have to get off the boat..."

Mr. An stretched out his hands and flapped his windbreaker. Under the black outside, there was a blood-red inner surface. A bloody whirlwind swept across the scene. Several mercenaries were unable to stand, their vision became empty and they couldn't help but shout: "Mr. An? Mr. An wait, why are you going up too... How can we go next?"

“gotodie!”

A group of black bats slid across the water, and the moonlight was just like the night sky, with a hint of blood.

…………

midnight

Wake up, Ji Lun turned on the desk lamp, and looked at the water outside the porthole under the dim table light. The fog was hazy and there was no movement.

"Teacher?" Little Helen sat up in a daze in the hammock and rubbed her eyes. The little white cat jumped up before her and shouted: "Meow~~"

"I feel... something is following." Ji Lun touched the little white cat, and even more affirmed his intuition. Su Xiaoxiaomei's cat intuition has always been very powerful.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the corridor, and little Helen jumped out of the hammock and raised her cat...oh, her gun.

The cat star squatted on the pistol held by Loli, looking at the hatch door innocently.

“…”

Ji Lun went over and opened the door. The three sisters of the Wu family stood nervously at the door, with a few young people all over her body, covered in grass leaves and blood, and were obviously not normal passengers.

Wu Shanxia's face turned red: "Second Lieutenant Ji Lun, can you help hide three people... Yes, these three, Xiao Yang and Xiaolin, and this tall man are my classmate Liu Qingming. I saw him climbing up in the river just after watching the night watch, and knew that he was being hunted by foreign mercenaries... I can't take them into the women's rest area. There are three empty spaces in your room, if you can..."

She pointed to the iron frame bed opposite Jilun's bed... The small private room on the ship is similar to a railway sleeper, two triple beds, and can accommodate six people.

As if afraid of Ji Lun's rejection, she begged again: "No one dares to search your room. I will only escape the pursuit for one night and they will leave tomorrow."

Ji Lun was speechless and saw that Little Helen had already put on her clothes, so she let the door open.

Yang, Liu and Lin, the three young men hurriedly thanked him. When they came in, they saw a blond foreign girl. They were also stunned and didn't say much.

The door closed again. When they were tidying up in a hurry, Ji Lun simply stopped sleeping and sat on the table to continue writing and drawing things. Little Helen held the little white cat and sat on the teacher's bed, staring at the stranger opposite him vigilantly.

Liu Qingming smiled bitterly and looked depressed. The accidental ambush in the middle of the mission and the death of teammates in battle and swimming and escaping all consumed too much of their energy, and there were pursuers behind them. If they had not met Wu Shanxia, ​​they might have shot and shot the foreigners they met on the ship when they came up. Kill one of them enough money and kill two of them is to make a profit. They died in the counterattack of the guards.

Ji Lun said: "Why are foreign mercenaries hunting down?"

"Because we are members of the Shenzhou Society." Yang, Liu and Lin said.

Ji Lun continued his homework on paper without asking much about what Shenzhou Society was. He saw that the other party had no intention of communicating now. The first and last conversation this night ended. There were some foreigners, and the expected pursuits had not arrived, or there were secret searches, but it had not yet affected Ji Lun's room.

…………

the next day

Ji Lun sent the three of them out on the deck and found that there were no pursuers. The morning wind blew across the boat with fog, and a cool gust penetrated his body...

"It seems that the enemy has given up the pursuit." Among the young people in the Shenzhou Society, Liu Qingming recovered the fastest and spoke to Ji Lun: "We are from the Shenzhou Society."

Ji Lun didn't speak and had been in this world for several years without realizing it.

"Shenzhou Society was just a martial arts society in the past."

"During the war, Shenzhou Society actively absorbed warriors to the battlefield."

"The rise and fall of the country, the warriors are unshirkable!"

"However, as the impact increases, the unfavorable things in Liansheng have been targeted by some people. Liu is really sorry for the dangerous situation." Liu Qingming just said lightly: "We will leave tonight."

Ji Lun was surprised. Although the young man in front of him was exhausted, he expressed his thoughts passionately, and his propaganda target was obviously Ji Lun.

Ji Lun was speechless... The passionate young people of this era are so impatient. Do they pour out their ideas when they see strangers?

Liu Qingming quickly noticed that the other party had few reactions, and couldn't help but: "Why are Brother Ji silent? Is it that I said badly? Please give me some advice... Everyone is young, so don't worry about face."

"I'm thinking about something." Ji Lun said lightly, with a melancholy look on his face. The first two young men who called me brothers like this died at my hands, and the other turned against each other.

The three young men were surprised when they heard this, so they listened to Ji Lun and asked, "What is the goal of Shenzhou Society?"

"Originally, he expels foreign barbarians and restores the empire."

"We voluntarily sacrifice our lives and shed our blood, not seeking the ambition of a family, but seeking the revival of the Celestial Empire."

Ji Lun was a little surprised and found that these passionate young men were obviously different from Jiang Shan and Fei Shouyi, saying: "You seem to hate the princes a little?"

"These warlords, China is destroyed in their hands!"

Liu Qingming is tall and tough, and is a typical young man. He waves his hands with great momentum: "The world is not the world, but these people ties the fate of the empire to them personally, which is indeed the case."

"And with great expectations from the world, you should do something. If the old Emperor Frans leads the rise of the empire, it can also convince the people of the world!"

"Since there is no talent and strategy, I do not develop industry and military well, for the sake of civil war, I rely on foreign arms procurement to support the tiger's skin. And with the invasion of foreign goods, it is difficult for the industry and military to improve, so I am the plan of the great powers!"

Ji Lun looked at him with admiration and nodded: "What should you do in Shenzhou Society?"

Liu Qingming smiled and said firmly: "If the princes have no support, they must kill foreigners, stop foreign goods, and restore China!"

Ji Lun expressed his praise and gave them a different perspective: "It's great, but the foreigners in the concession are just minions. Even if you kill all these, you can't move the foreigners' motherland beyond the Biwa. They can send new minions at any time."

The three passionate young men were stunned at the bow of the boat. The river water slapped the boat in the early morning, and the water surface rushed towards me, as if they suddenly found themselves standing in front of the cliff, with no road ahead.

Ji Lun's tone changed: "The ocean is an obstacle, but it is also an obstacle from the other party... Do you know how many people are on this inland ship?"

Both young men Yang and Lin looked at Liu Qingming. He had the best grades and was good at mathematics. At this time, he calculated silently and said, "More than 200 people."

"Not bad." Ji Lun praised, asking, "Where is the ocean ship?"

Liu Qingming thought hard for a moment: "This... I don't know."

"How long does it take for the two ships to travel between the oceans? How long does it take for the return?" Ji Lun asked again.

Liu Qingming murmured: "I don't know..."

"How long does it take for an ocean-going cargo ship? How many tons of combined materials are installed? Cargo categories? Quantity of bulk goods? Seasonal growth and decline of freight volume? Transocean transportation costs? Organizational methods? What are the trade needs of countries? Which shipping company is the shareholders behind which country? Which bank is the on-site handover? Who is the comprador who undertakes the procurement? Who are the princes who support them? What are the competition and cooperation between them? What are the conflicts and interests of foreign countries behind? Are there any places to be used?"

Liu Qingming listened carefully and racked his brains to think about the answer. The two companions were a little angry: "You will know these secret messages?"

"These are all public information. As long as you are interested, you can find it and calculate..."

Ji Lun sighed, and found that he had overestimated them. He raised his hand and pointed to the flag of the Breitan Empire above: "For example, the most powerful navy wants to launch an expedition and mobilize transport ships. How many crews are they? How much supply? How many transport ships can support an expedition? How many can support a national war? Is he a country qualified? Do you dare to fall into the quagmire?"

"If... I mean, if all the coalition forces of foreign countries around the world come to oppress China, what is the limit on trans-ocean logistics supply? How many years of war can it support? How much local plunder is needed to replenish food? How much human and economic needs of the colonies need to be wasted? How many war dividends are needed to replenish losses?"

All three of them were sweating from their foreheads, and they found that they knew nothing and were completely blank.

"Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. You said you want to kill foreigners, but the foreigners may have reactions about information about foreigners... You don't know anything. You can't save the country with just a passion. Young people still need to improve their knowledge level."

Ji Lun patted his shoulder and said nothing.

The world's kingdom, due to the existence of gods and sorcerers, is granted the power of the king - without power, and perhaps there is no soil for the rise of populism.

The invention of guns and shells may be partially broken, but only partially.

Haven’t you seen the nations, without exception, all of them are monarchies?

Ji Lun turned and left, the blonde loli at the cabin door hugged the little white cat and gave a Western-style skirt-raising ceremony: "Teacher."

Liu Qingming was stunned and remembered that the other party adopted a little foreign girl. He subconsciously became a university professor and a erudite scholar who was well-versed in Chinese and Western learning. He couldn't help but shout: "But there are not many foreign books in China. How to improve his knowledge level?"

Ji Lun waved his hand and said, "The knowledge is only in the book? There must be my teacher in the three people. Follow the target you want to search for the relevant knowledge figures. You can start the first step on the boat, go to the captain or first mate, send a bottle of wine and hand over a package of cigarettes. He will tell you the knowledge of river and sea shipping... By the way, the captain likes red wine, but his taste is limited. You can get the cheapest and inferior red wine and add more sugar to cover the astringent taste. Package it with a famous wine packaging... The first mate likes to fish and brag, fish with him, listen to him brag..."

"Thanks--"

Liu Qingming shouted, and only turned around until the other person disappeared into the cabin, and said to his two companions: "This person is very strong, in all aspects. If only he could become our comrade."

"I think he is not a member of us. Look at the material of his windbreaker, rich man, and a beautiful foreign girl..." said Yang's companion sensitively, frowned and puzzled: "And, he knows the answer to the question himself, right? Why don't you tell us directly and let us ask again?"

"This is to ask more questions and learn more, and not be beggars who can reach out, so that we won't go far." Another companion named Lin said.

Liu Qingming nodded his head and looked excited: "It's worth hearing these words today. Even the senior officials of our Shenzhou Society have never thought about these issues. They just want us to sacrifice like the princes."

"How can our Shenzhou Society be compared with the warlords? Have you been shaken?" The two companions sterned.

"No, I'm even more determined. I have to stick to the purpose and improve my knowledge..." Liu Qingming said, wanting to say something else, but seeing that the two companions were not interested, I had to go to the captain and the first mate alone.

"Hmph, did you think Liu Qingming was shaken?" The companion surnamed Yang had a cold air on his face: "When we joined, we swore to save the country with one heart without hesitation. Whoever had a strange intention and betrayed Xinfu, even if he was a thousand miles away, he would take his head!"

"I still say this, not to mention it, but I should be alert." The companion surnamed Lin frowned and said.
