Findings at sea

For this banquet, Xu Baoshan invited all his business and friendship friends.At night, just after the lights are turned on, colorful neon lights and red lanterns complement each other at the gate of Xu Mansion.Xu Baoshan was standing at the door in good spirits to greet the guests, but the guests were unable to greet them as they filed in. Ji Xingtang handed Mo Bai to Du Wanxiang to help.

Seeing him, Xu Baoshan smiled and said, "Xingtang, before Lao Feng makes a move, you take the cubs first, and I will arrange for the driver to pick you up outside, so don't have any accidents, be obedient, ah."

Ji Xingtang let out a long breath and said with a relaxed smile, "Don't worry? You're always duplicity, it's really unlovable."

Xu Baoshan stroked his meticulously oiled hair, "I'm not cute, I'm cute all over. I'm worried about you."

Ji Xingtang smiled at him, and really did not agree with Feng Youqiao's approach.Since Murai dared to come, he must have come prepared. He didn't dare to think too much, so he could only listen to Feng Youqiao's arrangement and act accordingly...

After Bai Xiaohong had dinner, the housekeeper asked him if he wanted to take a look at those children, and it was not an option to just leave them alone.Bai Xiaohong nodded to let them in, but the housekeeper stopped him when he walked to the door, "Arrange the others to stay first, and call Xiaoyuesheng."

After a while, the butler led Yuesheng in, and Yuesheng was shy like in the morning, clutching the hem of his shirt at a loss.Bai Xiaohong thought of Ruoyu's hateful face, and sighed that he was really interesting, "My surname is Baibai on the surface, and your surname is Baihei on the inside."He wants to catch a person, if he doesn't have his own temper in his bones, he must cut it off, so that he can only grow up according to his own wishes, and Yuesheng's appearance doesn't seem so hateful.The housekeeper smiled slightly and pushed Yuesheng's back spine slightly. Yuesheng staggered up to Bai Xiaohong, and murmured, "Bai...Bai lord, good..."

Bai Xiaohong looked at his clear and ignorant eyes, and said softly, "You don't have to be afraid." In order to ease the atmosphere, Bai Xiaohong asked Yuesheng to sit beside him, and handed him the hot milk to warm his hands, "Your master in the troupe Didn't I teach you to be eloquent?"

Yuesheng lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, and his clear voice still carried the childishness, "Return to Master Bai - the master taught the skills of singing, the skills of singing, leg skills, body and appearance, he didn't teach... .”

This opening seemed a little dull, and Bai Xiaohong asked again, "Tsing Yi? Hua Dan? Suffering?"

Yuesheng shook his head, "Back to Master Bai—the master said I looked like a thrush bird, and I looked very energetic, so he asked me to sing Wusheng. The master said that it is nothing to suffer after a person, and the brothers and sisters also called me 'Xiao Ming Tian', I They will change faces and do somersaults."

After saying that, he put down the porcelain cup to show off his skills. Bai Xiaohong realized that he was judging people by their appearance, so he stopped him with a smile, "I don't care if you are Xiaojiaotian or you are really Gaijiatian. I didn't call you here to watch you do somersaults. You What was your previous name?"

Yuesheng replied, "Back to Master Bai's words——Yuesheng's real name is Yuesheng, and he was born on August [-]th when the moon was bright, so he was called Yuesheng."

Xingtang is Xingtang. The apricot flower crabapple planted by April's father is in full bloom, so it is called Xingtang.

Bai Xiaohong looked around, the leather sofa and velvet armchair, the marble coffee table supported by carved iron frame, the assortment of antique treasures, and the gilded gramophone...all could not compare to a single sentence.Bai Xiaohong's gaze stayed on the wall painting at the corner of the stairs, and he said, "Don't call your name Yuesheng anymore, call it Yiting, Bai Yiting, change to this name..."

At this moment, the bodyguard appeared and interrupted him. He leaned over and said something in Bai Xiaohong's ear, which caused his expression to change suddenly.

The black-painted carved iron door was opened heavily from the inside out, and the two servants bowed to the oncoming car in the twilight, and then retreated to the sides to make way for the road.The car slid out, and the big iron door rumbled shut again.

Just half an hour ago.In Xu's mansion, there have been three rounds of wine and five flavors of food. Because of the [-]-day banquet, a lot of fireworks have been prepared. Now everyone is preparing to watch the fireworks in the spacious courtyard.

Du Wanxiang was walking on the lawn with her big belly in her arms holding Mo Bai. Ji Xingtang saw it and hurried over to take Mo Bai, and led Wanxiang into the hall. Seeing that she was weak, she helped her, "You are so rude in the house." Come on, don't let Mu Hua follow you when you come out, be careful."

Du Wanxiang supported her waist and looked up at Ji Xingtang, hesitated to speak, glanced at Murai standing in the opposite corridor through the crowd, and said repeatedly, "Mu Hua didn't want to come with me, the second brother is in the northwest. Poverty and poverty made him feel bad... I said he should trust you, just now he treated you so politely during the dinner, he must have said that he really wanted to make friends with the enemy, and now he is sullen with me again. Third brother Ji ...you tell me the truth..."

Ji Xingtang helped Wan Xiang up the short stone steps, and returned to the hall, "Nothing. Don't walk around in there, and don't bump into people outside."

Ji Xingtang handed Mo Bai to her, and asked her not to wander around.He walked back to the corridor again, the wooden dome was covered with red lanterns, and the faces under the roof were shrouded in a hazy red light.Ji Xingtang lit a cigarette and looked around in a daze. When the fireworks canister went off, he had to be on guard, and if it went off again, people would die. This was the only moment he could relax.

He used to dislike cigarettes very much. His nose and throat were pungent, and the cloudy smoke clouded his eyes. All in all, he felt very uncomfortable.I don't know when, he relied on this kind of thing that numbs the tongue coating, inhaled it into his lungs and even paralyzed his brain. At that moment, everything was forgotten and he was very happy.He couldn't help wondering if a person was addicted to smoking, would his heart be paralyzed?

Ji Xingtang flicked the cigarette stick, and seeing Xu Baoshan coming from the other side of the corridor, he threw the cigarette under his heels and crushed it out.Xu Baoshan calmly walked over and put his arms around his shoulders and said in a low voice, "The car is waiting outside, why don't you start yet, son?"

Ji Xingtang took a deep breath, "Since you dare to agree, what are you afraid of? I want to see what can scare the shit out of me." After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Xu Baoshan said, "Okay, okay, if there are any problems , Don’t come and pester me when I’m in hell.” “Naturally.”

The firework tubes were hidden in the surrounding rockery and pine needles like blunderbuss guns. Ji Xingtang and Xu Baoshan stood side by side on the lawn in front of the porch, talking and laughing calmly. It was thrown high into the air, and the ragged explosion sounded through the sky with the echo of the crowd. It immediately pierced the dark night and dyed the sky with radiance.

The colorful fireworks above the head are accompanied by the suffocating fireworks, without hindrance, people look up at the strange sky obsessively, and the opposite Murai is no exception, there are people around him to protect, there is a lot of open space, so it is more conspicuous than others.And Feng Youqiao's men were ambushing all around, and they would act when the fireworks went off again.

Ji Xingtang's face was a little stiff, and she subconsciously looked in the direction of the hall. Xu Baoshan hugged his shoulders and told him to relax. Ji Xingtang turned to look at him. Xu Baoshan saw the sparkle in his eyes, which was very beautiful, and teased, "I was so scared that I cried."

Ji Xingtang shook her head, "After staring at it for a long time, my eyes are a little sore."

Xu Baoshan said, "Tsk, if you are a woman, I will ask you to be my wife."

Ji Xingtang slightly curled the corners of her lips and did not speak.

Just as the fireworks ended, the second round of fireworks bombs was still preparing to go off in the tube, and suddenly there was a crisp crackling sound in the courtyard.

The fireworks were set off as usual, and in an instant, the gunshot was lost in the dense explosions and colorful visual feasts, and people still looked up and laughed happily.

Feng Youqiao was a little puzzled. The gunshot was unexpected, and Murai stood where he was unharmed. This is the correct time to assassinate him. His brain soberly ignored the gunshot, and took the lead towards Murai under the cover of the explosion. Shooting, because it is a silenced gun, the slight crackling sound does not hinder people's laughter at all.

Ji Xingtang looked surprised, the blood in his whole body was numb, he stared at Xu Baoshan dully, put his cold hand on Xu Baoshan's chest, and immediately felt hot blood flowing out from between his fingers. It flows into the sleeve along the back of the hand and winds over the entire arm.Ji Xingtang looked at the bright red blood spit out from Xu Baoshan's mouth, and couldn't accept it, so she called him softly, "Brother Baoshan..."

Xu Baoshan leaned in his arms and opened his mouth, Ji Xingtang turned his head towards him, and when he vaguely heard something, blood poured down his neck.Then the person on the shoulders lost all strength and fell backwards to the ground.

Ji Xingtang knelt down in a panic and hugged Xu Baoshan, clutching his chest tightly while shouting at the top of his voice tremblingly, "Come here! There's an assassin!"

His voice was extremely loud and bright, even piercing the sky like an explosion.

Ji Xingtang wiped away the blood from the corners of Xu Baoshan's mouth and chin with his thumb, but was stained red by the scorching blood spit out, Ji Xingtang carried Xu Baoshan in his arms and ran out, smiling reluctantly and said to Xu Baoshan, "Brother Baoshan, wait a minute , I’ll take you to the hospital right away.”

At this moment of life and death, Feng Youqiao's men killed the bodyguards around Murai, and when they were about to succeed, they were disturbed by Ji Xingtang's shout, and the whole Xu mansion panicked. He came down and stopped, and lowered his head to test his breathing disorderly, Brother Baoshan, the bullet shot through his heart, and he died, dying in his arms.

Looking at the door, the guests and servants in the courtyard panicked and scrambled to escape from this right and wrong place. A group of Japanese military police rushed in with bayonets, and the shiny blade forced the guests to go back.Ji Xingtang stood not far away, trembling all over, shouted with scarlet eyes, "Close the gate!"

Hearing the order, the door of Xu's mansion was closed by the servant.Ji Xingtang's body was covered in blood, and the original warm blood instantly cooled down in the cold in late winter and early spring. Brother Baoshan's body was completely cold, it was so cold, there was no heat at all.Ji Xingtang wanted to cry without tears, and hugged him tightly, without looking back, the sound of gunshots and fighting clearly lingered in his ears, many spies, many gendarmes, and many guests, it seemed that a large-scale war was about to take place in this mansion killing.Ji Xingtang put everything behind her and found a corner to lean against, hugging Xu Baoshan tightly.

Ji Xingtang rubbed her palms on her chest, took out a pocket towel from her suit pocket, and wiped the blood on Xu Baoshan's face.But the whole handkerchief was soaked and didn't wipe it clean, and the blood everywhere made him afraid, as if he had fallen into a pool of Xu Baoshan's blood, his eyes were dripping with blood.When Ji Xingtang realized that he had lost brother Baoshan at the moment when the fireworks burned out... He didn't cry, but was unusually calm in the abyss, happy when he died.

However, how many good fortunes did he accumulate to meet a caring person?

Ji Xingtang put Xu Baoshan behind the rockery, and walked into the chaos with a gun.Feng Youqiao made his way out of the terrified crowd, saw Ji Xingtang's eyes were full of anger, grabbed his coat and asked him angrily, "What are you crazy about, kid! How did the gendarmerie come in! Did you know it was exposed? What should we do now!"

Ji Xingtang took a deep breath and asked back, "Brother Baoshan is dead, someone killed him, who was it? Didn't you say it was safe? Who killed him!"

Feng Youqiao glared at him angrily, "Get out", and ran to cut off the wires in order to take action. The entire Xu mansion fell into darkness, like a boundless hell.

After Bai Xiaohong received the news, he immediately notified the police department and set off from the Bai mansion, and the car arrived at the Xu mansion.Some people escaped and their family members were still inside, and held a hundred-day banquet. Too many people came, and the door was panicked and crowded.

The people from the police department made a lot of effort to get here. The people in this mansion are always shrouded in blood and darkness, oppressing their spirits and shouting for help at the top of their lungs, tending to a state of madness.The people outside the mansion were also thrilled and couldn't find peace for a moment.The detective tried his best to evacuate the crowd with a flashlight, but to no avail, he had to fire a warning shot to suppress the restlessness and restlessness, and only then did he find a road at the door.The concierge saw a flashlight on, and saw the detective showing his ID in a panic. The concierge slowly opened the iron gate, and the police team entered the mansion.

Bai Xiaohong immediately followed in. At this time, the chaos had stopped, and there were still a few sporadic gunshots.

The riot that turned from an assassination to a fight caught the police off guard, and because it was located in the French Concession, the assassins completed their tasks and hid in the dark, but the Japanese appeared again, so the police had to connect the wires and clear the way to disperse them Guests, move the body away.

Bai Xiaohong searched in the dark. After connecting the wires, the sudden light made him dizzy, and then he ran around.Blood was everywhere on the lawn, Bai Xiaohong stepped on a red lantern, looked down and saw Ji Xingtang sitting by the porch pillar, with his head down, surrounded by fallen Japanese.Bai Xiaohong ran over, held his bloody face, held his breath, and called softly, "Xingtang."

Ji Xingtang opened his eyes, the eyes were also full of blood, he saw Bai Xiaohong in the blood, he leaned over and hugged himself, Ji Xingtang struggled to let him go, leaned on the pillar again, and said weakly, "I'm fine. , you go, go to the lobby to see Mo Bai, go."

At this time, six policemen came, ready to dispose of the Japanese corpses on the ground.Bai Xiaohong helped Ji Xingtang get up and drove, glanced at the ground, one of the corpses was not completely dead, he pulled the grenade, intending to let more people die with him when they approached.Bai Xiaohong shouted, "Be careful!"

Immediately there was a thunderous explosion, and a heat wave rolled in.In the scorching firework, Ji Xingtang felt the sparks splashing on her skin, and all she could see was the blood gushing out from the burning fire, the flesh like mud.Ji Xingtang was dumbfounded, the man who liked crabapple flowers tightly covered his body, he helplessly whispered against his cheek, "Don't, don't..." But Bai Xiaohong only hugged his neck tightly No response at all.

"Don't!" Once again falling into the boundless abyss amidst the blood, Ji Xingtang closed her eyes, a tear mixed with blood and stains slipped from the corner of her eyes, and then passed out.
