Republic of China

Chapter 388

Concessions are a violation of one's sovereignty by other countries and a deformed product of plunder. On one's own land, other countries not only have administrative autonomy but also extra-legal immunity.

For such a crucial nugget of gold, safety must be put first, especially the personal safety of the consuls general. In addition to the official security personnel, those in high positions will also hire private armed forces, which is not much different from local emperors.

This huge mansion outside Yamato Park belongs to Hachiro Sanada. As the consul general of the Japanese Concession in Tianjin, his ancestors had helped in the anti-shogunate movement. Naturally, he had extensive connections, and the servants in his mansion were all carefully selected experts from his own country.

If it was just one or two, Zhang Xiaogou thought he could handle it, but if there were thirty or forty of them, he would have no chance of winning. He would probably die, and he couldn't even escape.

Until the warmth from my palm
Xie Xiaoya grabbed Zhang Xiaogou's hand, and the expression on her face was countless times more determined than the latter's.

"If you want to blame someone, blame me for being blinded. Don't even think about regretting coming to save me. I will repay you for what I owe you in my lifetime."

This sentence rekindled Zhang Xiaogou's fighting spirit.

Correct!
My woman is still here, so why would I have time to worry about the consequences?
At the very least, I have to carve out a way out for her.

"It is only natural to save your own wife. There is no such thing as owing her anything."

"It should be pretty good to die together with you."

At this moment, many Japanese attendants surrounded them. They certainly would not watch the young couple being so affectionate. At the same time, the secretary of Sanada Hachiro issued an order.

The men were hacked to death, and the women were left alive.

There is no need to explain the purpose.

"Bear with it."

Zhang Xiaogou set his sights on a big willow tree behind the courtyard wall and bet everything on it. As for his life or death, it all depended on God's will.

Facing the swords coming from all directions, he first hugged Xie Xiaoya into his arms, and then ignored the sharp blades on his left and right and behind him, with only one path in mind.

forward!

I will kill anyone who stops me!
The price of such a reckless behavior is too high.

In the blink of an eye, cotton wool flew behind him, hot blood splashed, and his back was covered with wounds.

Zhang Xiaogou gritted his teeth. Even though he suffered heavy injuries and his body staggered again and again, he still did not give up. All the enemies in front of him were swept away by his sword.

Two fists cannot defeat four hands, let alone a single sword against dozens.

Even if Zhang Xiaogou risked his life, he could not protect his woman. This was the purpose of his reminder just now. Although he tried his best, the blade could not be removed and hurt Xie Xiaoya.

And Xie Xiaoya has told everyone time and again in her own way that she is not weak.

The iron hook in her hand was knocked off, so she used both hands to hold the blade that was stabbing towards Zhang Xiaogou's chest. When her hands were too late, she used her arms and her prime body to block it. Her eyes were cold and resolute, as if everything she had endured was of no concern.

Every step leaves a blood mark, and there is no way out of purgatory.

"I want to ride a big red horse when I get married"

"Xiuhe red flowers must be embroidered by Aunt Liu from Jiacaifang in Beijie."

"If you don't like traditional things, don't use a sedan."

"Find a chance to tell Master Hai that I want to live a good life, please let me go."

"You can open a Xianzu pickle restaurant in the future. It would be best if you are willing to be the boss lady. It's also okay if you want to go out and find a decent job."

"If you want to continue the Zhang family's lineage, then do it. If you don't want to, we can just spend our lives together. I'll leave it to you."

Even though the massive blood loss made it difficult for him to walk, even though he was covered with wounds from being stabbed by thousands of blades, in Zhang Xiaogou's eyes, the end of the road he was walking on was the beautiful place he longed for, and every step he took brought him closer. His strong will shocked the surrounding Japanese attendants.

Normally, a strong bull would have been knocked down after being stabbed more than ten or twenty times, but this man managed to fight his way out of a bloody path, a real bloody path.

Looking at his three fingers being chopped off, Zhang Xiaogou could no longer hold on to the old friend who had been with him for many years, and the broken and curled blade of the sword slowly fell down.

Zhang Xiaogou only felt endless fatigue coming over him, and when his knees became weak, he was held tightly by Xie Xiaoya in his arms.

She used her bloody hands to adjust his bright red scarf and responded with only one sentence.

"Then it's settled. I'll take care of the money."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The sounds of breaking wind around me were one after another, but they could not overcome the surging excitement deep in my heart.

That was the light you saw when you woke up after being completely desperate and waiting to die on the reef.

It is the youthful figure who protects you at all costs in your youth.

The past madness and pain, the countless times of distraction when the lingering laughter and scolding in front of my eyes, are like your blood and mine, blending together and no longer distinguishable from each other.

However, they did not know that besides the sound of the wind breaking from the heavy blades, there was an even faster sound of breaking through the air coming closer and closer, like several dark lightning bolts shooting towards them.

The next moment, the ill-fated pair of mandarin ducks were surrounded by densely packed sugarcane stalks. The sword that was coming at them was either blunt or had a wrong angle of attack, but in the instant of flying debris, there was no blade that could hurt the two of them.

In addition, several Japanese servants were unable to dodge and were stabbed by the cut sugarcane on the ground covered with white sand and gravel. Their intestines were scattered all over the ground and their wails echoed everywhere.

The sudden change caught everyone present off guard.

For Zhang Xiaogou and Xie Xiaoya, it is always better to die later.

But for the secretary, unexpected situations have occurred twice tonight. Why does such an ordinary task always go wrong?

And why are there so many sugarcanes?

What I hate most is sugar cane!
"The seedlings are good, but unfortunately their hands are too rough."

An old voice with a tone of approval came from the front, and Xie Xiaoya was very familiar with this voice, but she was weak and had suffered severe injuries, and she fainted from the extreme sorrow and joy.

Zhang Xiaogou just felt that it was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment. He looked through the intertwined sugarcane array and finally saw the hunched back.

“Sir!?”

"Call Grandpa."

Xie Jiuren didn't turn around to look at Zhang Xiaogou's confused and shocked expression. He just picked up the sword on the ground and shook off the blood stains.

The development of the situation and the huge amount of information tortured Zhang Xiaogou's already not-so-bright brain.

Not to mention how the uncle selling sugarcane appeared here, just how these sugarcanes that were at least three inches deep in the ground were thrown away is shocking enough.

And all the doubts were thrown behind him the moment Xie Jiuren picked up the sword!
After playing with knives for a long time, an expert can tell the difference at a glance!

Zhang Xiaogou had no time to check his injuries. The large amount of adrenaline secreted made him more focused than ever before. While he was bandaging Xie Xiaoya with his incomplete hands, he was swallowing nervously, as if he was expecting something.

This old man
"Watch it, I'll only teach it once."
