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

"I'd like to see who dares. Yi Zhonghai isn't that kind of person. He left this money to give to my grandson when he gets married."

Jia Gui looked in the direction of the sound and saw the wealthy old woman walking quickly towards them, followed by Cuilan.

He also shouted sternly:

"Na Fu"

The wealthy old woman, seeing Jia Gui, fell silent, grabbed Cuilan, and turned to leave.

After returning to the backyard, he said to Cuilan:

"Go to the steel plant right now and find Director Yang. Ask him to save Xiao Yi."

Cuilan nodded quickly and ran towards the courtyard gate.

The director greeted Jia Gui and then led his men to escort Yi Zhonghai and Wang Jungang away.

Director Wang also roared at him fiercely:

"Jia Gui, you wait, this isn't over."

Jia Gui chuckled and shook his head, then ignored Director Wang who was walking out of the courtyard.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui immediately stepped forward to ingratiate themselves with him.

He Daqing then picked up Yushui, who was crying and pounding her fists in his arms, and walked towards home.

At night, the screams and wails of He Yuzhu could be heard continuously coming from the He family's house.

"Hello, is this Director Nancheng? This is Yang Guoliang from the steel plant. Yi Zhonghai, whom you brought here today, is a rare level seven worker in our plant, a national resource. If there are no major problems, please let him go home."

The police chief also snorted coldly and said:

"The case is still under investigation; we'll know the results later."

After hanging up the phone, he lit a cigarette and muttered:

"If you won't even spare my brother, sending him to shovel latrines, then you can forget about saving Yi Zhonghai either. Just because you tried to capture my wife, you'd better not fall into my hands again."

Hearing the busy tone on the microphone, Yang Guoliang angrily threw it away and roared:

"Hmph, you're nothing but Le Weiguo's lackey. He's already dead, and you still dare to run away,"

After saying that, he picked up the microphone and made an internal call.

A moment later, they got into a Jeep and drove out of the factory gate.

Meanwhile, Li Fugui went to the offices of the other deputy factory directors to continue his persuasion.

……

A few days later, Jia Gui and the chubby man waited at the entrance of the charity office.

Seeing Leyou, they happily ran forward.

"Boss, let's go home first. We've prepared a delicious meal there."

Before Leyou could say anything, the chubby guy pulled her into the jeep and drove off.

At this moment, several men walked out of the donation center, glanced at the car in the distance, and sneered.

No. 8 Nanluoguxiang

From a great distance, Leyou saw a large group of people in front of his house.

After getting off the bus, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"You shouldn't have come; you'll only be a burden."

Meanwhile, the crowd waiting at the courtyard gate shook their heads with smiles and shouted:

"Welcome home, General!"

Then, he took a willow branch and repeatedly patted Leyou's body before making him step over the fire pit.

After being admitted to the hospital, Leyou nodded as he looked at the six tables of food, inviting everyone to sit down and eat.

Jia Gui also took the opportunity to promote He Daqing.

When Le You heard that He Daqing had also asked him to come over,

A moment later, Leyou finally saw He Daqing, whom she had longed for for so many years, and grabbed him by the neck, pulling him close.

"Great Qing, He Daqing, do you know how I've been these past ten years or so? Haha!"

Release He Daqing, and Le You raised his wine glass to the crowd, saying:

"Come on, let's drink."

……

After the meal, Leyou left a letter for each of them, explaining that he would be returning to Hongxianglu Port soon and that they could seek refuge with him if they were ever persecuted.

After everyone left, Jia Gui glanced at He Daqing, who was tidying up, and pretended to mutter something to Le You.

"How miserable this is! Being played like a puppet, one can't even speak out."

Leyou said happily:

"Alright, just say what you have to say. Call He Daqing over."

Jia Gui was also delighted and called He Daqing over, then told him the whole story.

Leyou also looked at He Daqing seriously and said:

"Your skills are indeed excellent. No wonder my master, Shan Chu, praised you so highly. I'm asking you, would you like to become my full-time chef? We might be going to Hongxianglu Port later."

Seeing He Daqing hesitate, Jia Gui smacked him on the back of the head with a big nose ring and shouted:

"Boss, He Daqing is a blockhead; he agreed to it."

After lighting a cigarette, Le You said to Jia Gui:

"Pass the word down: I want Yi Zhonghai to die unexpectedly in prison. As for that old lady, I'll give Brother Erkang face; go ask her if she's willing to come back to Hongxianglu Port with me to retire. If she's not, I'll leave her some money."

Jia Gui also gave a thumbs up and shouted:

"The boss is indeed the boss; I'll get on with it right away."

Le You waved, and Jia Gui quickly pulled He Daqing out of the courtyard.

"Daqing, don't say your brother isn't taking care of you. Get the house ready these next few days; we're leaving soon."

He Daqing also hesitated and said:

"But I have a younger brother in Beijing, and my roots are here too, I..."

Jia Gui also shook his head and said:

"It's not like you can't come back after it's over. Look at me, I can come and go as I please."

Finally, He Daqing agreed and went directly to find Cai Quanwu at the address of the tavern he had learned from Yu Shui.

Cai Quanwu, feeling he was close to succeeding in pursuing Xu Huizhen, also rejected He Daqing's suggestion and stayed in Beijing.

Jia Gui also found the wealthy old woman and, after learning of Yi Zhonghai's fate, agreed to go to Hongxianglu Port with her.

After hesitating for a moment, Jia Gui went to the Jia family residence in the Central Court and told Jia Dongxu about his trip to Hongxianglu Port.

However, Madam Jia only asked two questions and, disregarding Qin Huairu's refusal, chose to agree.

Are there enough painkillers?

Will I receive a monthly pension?

Jia Gui also told the Jia family to pack up in the next few days so they could leave together.

Jia Gui and Liu Haizhong, who had just stepped out, were immediately stopped by Yan Bugui.

No matter how Liu Haizhong questioned him, Jia Gui kept rambling on and on, but Yan Bugui suddenly broke the silence.

"Old Jia, I, Yan Bugui, was also harmed by you all. I'm still a small business owner. No matter what, if I become rich and powerful this time, I won't forget you."

Liu Haizhong hesitated, but considering how powerful Jia Gui was regardless of his status, he continued to flatter him.

Jia Gui nodded helplessly and told them to pack their things and leave in a few days.

Liu Haizhong also went home and asked Guangqi to write a letter to his brother-in-law to come and take over the job.

A few days later, everyone had finished packing and was waiting for Jia Gui to arrive.

Only He Yuzhu lay paralyzed on the cart, her face bruised and swollen, blood streaming from her mouth.

Meanwhile, inside courtyard number 8, Leyou hesitated, looking at the three people in front of her and the documents in her hand.

The country needs him, so he should go. But going to the Soviet Union is too dangerous. After all, they fought against them a few years ago and wiped out an entire division, especially those who mostly charged from the bench.

"Jia Gui, you take your men to Hongxianglu Port first. I, Su Xiong Guo, will go directly to Hongxianglu Port upon my return."

Jia Gui nodded to the chubby man and said:

"Boss, let me go with you. It'll be easier for me to serve you along the way. Let Lao Bai take the men."

"Even if you don't let me go, I'll still go. Don't look down on me because I'm disabled."

Leyou sighed and agreed.

Afterwards, Leyou Jiagui and the other three agreed to get into the jeep and leave.

The chubby man arrived at courtyard number 95 and led everyone to the train station. At the station, He Daqing, annoyed by the awkward smile from the widow, waved to Cuilan behind him.

The wealthy old woman pushed Cuilan forward, and Cuilan shyly leaned into He Daqing's arms.

The chubby man gave the widow a wink.

Widow Bai also twisted her two sons, Bai Yong and Bai Zhi, and the two brothers immediately burst into tears, ran forward and hugged He Daqing's legs, crying:

"Father, are you abandoning us?"

He Daqing sighed as he looked at the rain beside him, and waved to the white widow.

The white widow immediately smiled radiantly and leaned closer.

The chubby guy, who had spent some time in Kowloon Walled City, knew that skilled cooks like He Daqing were in high demand.

……

To the northeast, Leyou and the others got off the train and boarded a jeep.

An hour later the jeep stopped.

Looking out at the empty land, Leyou told Jia Gui to be careful and then got out of the carriage.

Jia Gui secretly pulled out the pistol from his lower body, disengaged the safety, and carefully got out of the car.

"I've been watching you closely for a while now,"

Just after Jia Gui got out of the car, the man next to him pulled out a dagger and stabbed Jia Gui directly in the heart.

Jia Gui also fired a shot directly.

Le You pulled out a nine-ringed broadsword from his spatial storage and slashed down two people with a single blow. Before he could even speak...

A dense crowd appeared all around.

"Gibberish"

"idiot"

Le You said with a solemn expression:

"Jia Gui, get in the car. I'll take my broadsword, and they'll fight with bayonets too."

After saying that, he immediately drew his sword and charged forward.

After an unknown amount of time, Leyou tore his already stripped military uniform in half.

The area was littered with corpses, but the Japanese soldiers, no longer afraid of death, slowly tightened their encirclement.

At that moment, Leyou heard Jia Gui shout:

"Boss, there are troops from the Su Xiong Kingdom."

Looking in the direction of the sound, Jia Gui hurriedly got out of the car, hid behind the hood, and ripped off his black coat, revealing a belly full of grenades and a submachine gun.

Leyou also took a deep breath and charged towards Jia Gui.

At this moment, a dozen or so people stood together on a hillside in the distance, observing the battle through binoculars.

"I should have known that Le Weiguo was a special person. I want his body after he dies."

"Haha, anyone who opposes our Su Xiong Kingdom is doomed."

"Shuga, after this battle, you must send the remaining Sakura Warriors back to Sakura Island."

"Le Weiguo, oh Le Weiguo, you have too much popular support. You should leave soon, haha."

Le You fought with all his might until he reached Jia Gui. The numerous cracks on his nine-ringed broadsword had multiplied, each one now covered in blood.

Seeing the tanks in front of Su Xiongguo, Le You hesitated for a moment, then gripped his knife with both hands, dug a pit, and then knocked out the unsuspecting Jia Gui with a single blow.

Then, under the horrified gazes of the Japanese soldiers, they threw Jia Gui directly into the pit, and then took out a large box of gold and silver treasures from their spatial storage and placed it beside him to prevent him from suffocating.

A moment later, after the small hole left for breathing was filled in, Leyou gritted his teeth, got up, and pushed the jeep towards the army of Su Xiong Kingdom.

"Da da da"

"Da da da"

"Boom boom boom"

As they advanced rapidly, the moment the jeep was hit by a shell, Leyou flipped over and shouted "Wula!" towards the oncoming vehicle.

The charging soldiers rushed forward.

"Useless, all of them are useless."

"Hehe, your Su Xiong Kingdom is trash. You even got pushed into the formation. Now it's up to our Great Sakura Warriors."

He made a hand gesture, and then vanished.

"Ok!"

Sensing a murderous aura, Leyou immediately turned around.

A snow-white samurai sword slashed down just past the tip of his nose.

"Ninja!"

"Le Weiguo, you arrogant fool! Since you dare to question all schools of martial arts within the Sakura faction, let's see what our skills are like today!"

As he spoke, more than twenty black figures appeared and disappeared around them.

The dense blades scraped and stung my body.

He pulled several items from his spatial storage, threw them on the ground, and then rolled them to the side.

Many ninjas also looked at the ground with curiosity.

"idiot"

"boom"

After a huge explosion, about twenty black corpses appeared in the surrounding area.

"quack"

Leyou had just burst out laughing when a sudden pain shot through his left chest. Looking down, he saw a long samurai sword piercing through his body, and a warm breath brushed against his ear.

"Even if our ninjutsu tradition is derived from your Qimen Dunjia, Five Elements, and Eight Trigrams, what's the use? It's still declined."

Leyou grabbed the katana that was being frantically stirred and growled in a low voice:

"All these years, haven't you found out that my heart is on the other side?"

With a backhand stroke, he severed his head.

Suddenly, the nine-ringed broadsword, which was already cracked, shattered completely, and fragments of the blade scattered all over the ground.

Leyou stared blankly at everything before him, realizing that he was doomed to die today.

Suddenly, a flood of deep memories surged up, and Leyou recalled his past life as a beast of burden. Wasn't He Daqing the one who filled the entire courtyard? And wasn't Jia Gui the indirect Captain Jia who had saved the country through indirect means?

"Ha ha"

Leyou suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter.

Those in the distance who heard his laughter felt a sense of desolation.

"Useless! Order the troops to retreat, we retreat too! Order the base to launch and test P7 missiles this way!"

"Only I, Xiaofu, can resolve the knot in Comrade Daling's heart; Maling cannot, so it's my turn to take the lead."

As everyone retreated, they vaguely heard Leyou's shouts, but didn't pay much attention.

Only the man who wanted the corpse sighed.

Jia Gui, who had already regained consciousness, heard a mournful cry from Leyou:

"Oh, vast heavens,"

"How could you treat me so poorly?"

"Boom boom boom"

"Boom boom boom"

Immediately following were several loud explosions. Jia Gui, who was in the pit, was blown unconscious, bleeding from all seven orifices.

More than an hour later, a large group of people dressed in white arrived at the explosion site, but apart from the billowing smell of gunpowder and the black crater-like soil covering the ground, they found nothing else.

Disappointed, they had no choice but to return home.

As night fell, Jia Gui was also awakened by the cold. He heard the boss's shouts and the sound of explosions, and used all his strength to dig through the thin layer of soil.

They followed the direction in which they remembered hearing the sound.

But no matter how hard he searched, Jia Gui only found a hilt and fragments of the blade.

Jia Gui also knelt on the ground and cried loudly:

"General, why have you left me all alone? How am I supposed to face my wife?"

"General"

……

Nearly a month later, Jia Gui, who had been living like a zombie, arrived at Kowloon Village in Hongxianglu Port with great haste, with the help of the Changsheng Escort Agency.

Jia Gui, weeping, unloaded the bamboo box from his back and knelt down on the ground.

Slowly, he took out two bundles.

"Madam, it is Jia Gui who is useless and had no intention of seeing me again, but I wish to bring back the general's belongings."

"This is the general's broadsword, and this is bloodstained soil from the site of intense missile bombardment."

Jingxian, whose face was already streaked with tears, forced herself to stay upright and not collapse.

"Jia Gui, this isn't your fault. I never imagined that the traitors in our country were so rampant. What Wei Guo has done is in accordance with the people's conscience. Go back and rest well. I've taken care of your relatives and friends."

Jia Gui shook his head, his lifeless eyes looking at Jingxian, and said, "I have no face to live on in this world. Before the general's accident, he shouted something..."

He then pulled out a pistol and, amidst gasps from the crowd, pressed the muzzle to his temple.

"bump"

Jia Gui also fell to the ground with the sound of gunfire, and moments later a pool of blood formed beneath him.

The hall, filled with people, still echoed with Jia Gui conveying Le Weiguo's last words:

"The vast and boundless heavens"

"How could you treat me so poorly?"

……
