Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 459 Born in this chaotic world

These words were spoken by Xu Tian. If it were anyone else, Ye Shaohong's first reaction would definitely be that they were trying to sow discord.

But Xu Tian is different.

He's too cold-hearted.

He himself did not have any clear political leanings, and given the deep emotional bond between him and Ye Shaohong, these words could only be considered casual remarks between friends.

"no way."

"Dude, I'm too outstanding, far beyond the average person, so they have higher expectations of me."

He picked up his wine glass, tilted his head back, and downed it in one gulp, a perfectly timed smug look appearing on his face. This immediately made Xu Tian laugh.

"You."

"Alright, it's up to you. As long as you're determined to do it, I'll come and help you."

This is the harmonious relationship between the two of them.

No need for further explanation, the affection between men speaks for itself.

"That's for sure."

"You are now my strategist and advisor. In ancient times, you would be a chief strategist. How could I do anything without you?"

"correct."

"Do you have time tomorrow or the day after? A close friend of mine is coming from Nanjing. Let me introduce you."

Suddenly, Ye Shaohong remembered Zheng Yaoxian.

Both of them are among the most intelligent figures in spy dramas, and Ye Shaohong wanted to see what kind of sparks would fly when Zheng Yaoxian and Xu Tian met.

"Best friend?"

"Can you really make true friends in the Secret Service?"

Xu Tian didn't stand on ceremony with Ye Shaohong. With a flick of his eyelids, he uttered a soul-searching question, as if stabbing a knife into the heart.

"Hey."

“Normally this wouldn’t happen, and it’s unlikely, but my closest friend is definitely not normal.”

Ye Shaohong smiled and responded casually.

"That's it."

"That has piqued my interest. If he is really as special as you say, I'd really like to see for myself."

"Remember to call me when the time comes."

And so, under the moonlight, the two of them feasted and drank to their hearts' content. After the banquet, Ye Shaohong declined Xu Tian's offer to stay the night and turned to disappear into the darkness, heading towards the rouge shop in the Tongfuli Triangle Market.

it's dark.

He couldn't get through the checkpoints of the British and French concessions, as that would cause a lot of trouble, so he might as well stay overnight at Yu Manli's place.

As for Li Yunlong inside the villa.

Ok.

Ye Shaohong, drunk, had completely forgotten about it.

But forget about it. After a few days of recuperation, Li Yunlong's injuries have healed somewhat. The villa has rice and vegetables, and all kinds of food are stored in abundance. It wouldn't be difficult for Li Yunlong to feed himself.

not to mention.

Ye Shaohong is Li Yunlong's direct superior. He has been personally taking care of his injured subordinate for several days, so there is no need to ask for too much.

Even with his great skills, Ye Shaohong was still very careful as he walked through the streets and alleys at midnight.

He hasn't forgotten how chaotic Shanghai is right now.

Even with his extraordinary skills, he could still be in danger of dying if he were ambushed or struck on the head.

Therefore, Ye Shaohong always held a dagger in his hand during the journey.

Even so, he still encountered trouble.

"stop."

"Hand over all the money you have on you."

The moment Ye Shaohong turned into a secluded alley, he was suddenly blocked by a group of people in front of and behind him.

"A robbery?"

The sudden turn of events immediately made Ye Shaohong raise his eyebrows.

Subsequently.

He looked up in the moonlight, and a heavy look immediately appeared in the depths of his eyes.

What did Ye Shaohong see?

In the alley ahead, he saw two wounded soldiers dressed in Chinese military uniforms.

Calling them remnants is a misnomer.

They should be called wounded soldiers.

The two men's clothes were soaked in blood, and one of them had a broken leg, which was being supported by his one-eyed companion.

Judging from their pale faces, they had clearly not eaten for some time.

The words he uttered carried a hint of weakness. "Brothers, are you wounded soldiers who have retreated from the front lines?"

"How did we end up like this?"

Having clearly seen the situation of the two people in front of him, Ye Shaohong no longer needed to look back. He also knew that the two people who were surrounding him from behind must also be wounded soldiers who had just escaped from the battlefield.

At this moment, looking at these people, Ye Shaohong didn't know what to say.

Given his military rank and position, he should be angry when faced with deserters, and should take action to capture them and even hold them accountable for their crimes.

However, out of kinship with his fellow Chinese, he truly could not bring himself to say these words.

What could he say?

What right does he have to criticize others?

After all, they had already been to the battlefield and fought against foreign invaders, the Japanese devils. They paid a heavy price for it, a price that would haunt them for the rest of their lives.

They have fulfilled their responsibilities as Chinese men.

Right now, they just want to survive.

perhaps…….

He just wanted to live for his elderly parents, wife, children, and young kids, and wanted to go back to fulfill his responsibilities and filial duties.

Is Ye Shaohong capable of using hurtful language?

Obviously not.

Therefore, he could only address the other party as brother in order to try and uncover the truth.

"brother?"

"Ha... You might as well just curse at me a couple of times. At least that way, we won't feel guilty when we lay a hand on you."

Ye Shaohong's question immediately brought a bitter look to the face of the middle-aged man who was blind in one eye and still supporting his companion with his broken leg.

He tilted his head back and took a long breath.

Then…….

Then he suddenly moved aside, making way for Ye Shaohong.

"Since you just called me a brother, you can leave."

“Born into this chaotic world, we are all unfortunate people. Even if we are in dire straits, we cannot just rob ordinary people like you.”

As soon as he spoke, the companion with the missing leg immediately raised his head and looked at the one-eyed companion. His lips moved slightly, but in the end he said nothing and silently lowered his head again.

at the same time.

Behind Ye Shaohong, the two wounded soldiers and bandits he had never met before retreated silently. This scene unfolded before Ye Shaohong's eyes, causing his raised eyebrows to slowly relax.

His wrist flicked.

The dagger he had hidden in his sleeve was now stuck back into his calf.

Then Ye Shaohong raised his head.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"Judging from your behavior, you are upright men. If you are willing to trust me, then come with me."

"I can't guarantee anything else, but I can still provide you with a hot meal and a place where you can sleep peacefully."
