He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

As the end of the month approached, troops from the Northeast and the south drew near. General Fu withstood the pressure in Chengdu and announced the uprising in Beijing.

They opened the city gates, and the People's Party troops entered the city.

A peace handover office was established, and Leyou and others also restrained their respective troops to await orders.

A few days later, Leyou moved out of the Le Mansion and settled down in a three-courtyard house near Xuanwu Gate.

After collecting a list of those willing to go to Hung Heung Lu Port, the troops under his command were relieved of their duties, given certificates, and allowed to go on their own. Each person was given travel expenses, and a telegram was sent to Kowloon Walled City. Subsequently, orders were issued for reorganization, and suddenly the troops were free.

During this time, Jia Gui and the chubby man came to Leyou for help, and Leyou protected them by claiming that he was a spy he had sent.

He also comforted Lou Zhenhua, promising to allow him to manage and support businesses in Hongxianglu Port in the future.

A few days later, the list of infiltrated Party members was released in Beijing, and Leyou was assigned to the newly established Military Control Committee.

Subsequently, a series of changes occurred in the officials and staff within the city; some remained in their original positions, while others were transferred to other counties.

Leyou bid them a reluctant farewell at the city gate, urging them to work hard and do practical things for the people.

Huang Ying's job changed from managing the city's residents' affairs to becoming the director of management affairs for one district.

Since Beijing came under military control,

"Jia Gui, I went to see my cousin a few days ago, but she wouldn't even open the door. Even my last remaining relative doesn't want to talk to me anymore."

"Sigh, you have to be open-minded in life, otherwise you'll only cause yourself more trouble. I've already cut off contact with my relatives in the city; may we all be well."

"Well, let her be. I can rest assured that the Qing Dynasty is taking care of her."

Jia Gui shook his head, took a sip of yellow wine, and said:

"Old Bai, General Yue has now joined the Military Control Commission. He stepped in to save the two of us last time, and I'd like to ask him to let me continue working for him. What do you think?"

The chubby man hesitated for a moment before saying:

"But the general is a surrendered general. Although he has joined the military control commission, he has no real power. Won't that cause him trouble?"

Jia Gui laughed out loud:

"Old Bai, the list that was released a few days ago included a general's name. Otherwise, why would he still be holding the rank of Major General? Listen to me on this, or the two of us won't be able to stay in Beijing any longer."

The chubby man nodded hurriedly and said:

"Yes, we've killed so many people, those families won't let us off the hook."

After the two reached an agreement, they hurriedly ran towards the military control commission.

After enduring countless disdainful looks along the way, I finally gritted my teeth and walked into Leyou's office.

The two quickly became clerks at Leyou, and a huge weight was lifted off their shoulders.

After issuing the certificates to the two, Leyou smoked and fell into deep thought.

According to intelligence, fighting is still ongoing in the south, and the Kuomintang is suffering continuous defeats.

A moment later, Jia Gui, who was guarding the door, came in and announced that a meeting was to be held.

Leyou also put out his cigarette and went outside.

The tasks assigned at the meeting were to receive the democratic figures who would come to Beijing, arrange defense work, and prepare for the new CPPCC meeting.

The meeting also mentioned abolishing all treaties signed by the Civic Party with foreign countries.

Listening to this, Leyou was also filled with joy and excitement; his hand, which was smoking, trembled uncontrollably.

After the meeting, Leyou also joined the busy work.

In late spring, Leyou received news that negotiations between the two parties had failed, and a full-scale war subsequently broke out.

In April, they captured Nanjing, and the Civic Party was defeated.

In June, the preparatory committee for the new CPPCC discussed establishing a people's government in September and holding the founding ceremony and military parade.

In September, Leyou hosted representatives from various democratic parties, non-partisan groups, people's organizations, and guests.

Prior to the meeting, a series of Civic Party officers, including Lok Yau, who had defected, faced questioning. Subsequently, Mr. Ko and others issued an urgent notice regarding the election.

The meeting determined many things, including the capital city, national flag, national anthem, and calendar system.

The first CPPCC National Committee was elected.

And declare to the world:

"The history of the Great Xia Dynasty has thus entered a new era."

At 3 PM on the 101st, the grand founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China began.

Leyou, standing at the back of the crowd, was too excited to speak, tears streaming down her face.

A few days later, Leyou, who was still handling business in the office, was also red-faced with anger.

Several strongmen from Su Xiong Kingdom threw Jia Gui and the fat man into the house. Yang Yan wanted to exchange martial arts skills with them.

The group then arrived at the open space near the courtyard gate. Leyou kicked each of the strongmen to the ground, leaving a footprint on the side of each man's face, along with another on his chest. The contrast between the size 42 black footprints and their white skin was striking.

The Su Xiong Kingdom personnel who were following them were so frightened that they hurriedly sent someone over in a troop transport vehicle, and left in a sorry state with a few strongmen.

Not long after, considering that Leyou had fought against Su Xiong, the troops that Leyou had previously belonged to were brought back under their command.

They were also deployed to Shizikou to guard the two railway lines.

Not long after Leyou arrived, having marched hastily through the night, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Over the years, thanks to his "golden finger" (a powerful ability to heal oneself), his physical strength has become several times that of an ordinary person, and his self-healing ability is also extremely powerful; external wounds can scab over in fifteen minutes.

But why did he suddenly vomit blood?

As my gaze inadvertently fell upon the nine-ringed broadsword, a sudden wave of sorrow washed over me.

You cannot defy the heavens, so why do you try to torment me?

I worked for you, why do you want to kill me?

It really is a case of big fish eating small fish, and large intestine wrapping small intestine.

So much time has passed; Chen Si should have already taken the body to the Goddess Cave.

Looking at the large sword that had been drawn before him, its original frosty autumn color had faded, leaving it completely dull.

Tiny black spots appeared on the blade.

Leyou raised his knife and forcefully chopped at the large tree beside him.

Looking at the tree split in two, touching the smooth break,

Suddenly, I noticed that the small black dots that were originally close together on the blade had merged into one large black dot.

"Does the complete blackening of the blade signify my demise?"

Leyou pressed hard on his aching heart, gazing at the setting sun in the distance, his mind filled with the faces of his master and the others.

In December, Leyou learned that the Komindou Party had retreated and fled to Okinawa. He looked south and remained silent for a long time.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Leyou looked at the telegram from Beijing and silently wished everyone a Happy New Year.

After Chen Si returned the body, he set off for Kunlun, but he couldn't find any trace of his master and the other two. He only saw many tomb raiding holes filled with jewels.

……

As Jia Gui and the chubby man led their troops to Lion's Mouth with Le You, those within the capital city who were connected to them continued with their previous lives.

However, since the Lou family's steel mill was originally an arms factory run by Le You, at Le You's behest, Lou Zhenhua donated the entire steel mill, retaining only a small share of the profits.

In order to curry favor with powerful figures, he donated most of his courtyards and properties in Beijing, earning him the title of a "red industrialist."

During the steel plant's restructuring, Liu Haizhong was betrayed by Yi Zhonghai, lost his supervisory position, and was demoted to a level 5 worker.

Yi Zhonghai was promoted to Level 6 worker, and their work was clearly divided: one was a fitter, and the other a blacksmith.

Jia Dongxu became an apprentice, and Xu Wude, having learned the skill of projecting movies, became the deputy head of the factory's propaganda department.

He Daqing then became the canteen manager.

On this day, Yi Zhonghai deliberately stopped the widow Bai from going to work. After a fierce struggle, the widow Bai had no choice but to help Yi Zhonghai calm down.

Lying on the bed smoking, Yi Zhonghai exhaled a puff of smoke and looked coldly at the weeping widow Bai, saying:

"What's there to cry about? We've had our share of good times. Does following He Daqing mean you'll disown me?"

Seeing the silent White Widow, Yi Zhonghai, still groping around under the covers, continued:

"Xiao Bai, I, Yi Zhonghai, still like you quite a bit. I'll tell you a secret: the city is starting to investigate your family history for three generations, to see what your family's background is like."

"For example, your cousin was a traitor to the Xia Dynasty before, and later a member of the Civic Party."

"Or perhaps it was He Daqing, who cooked for the Japanese and ended up in Xia Yinghua's friendly newspaper."

"Xiaobai, what do you suggest we do?"
