Period drama: Old Cao's carefree life

Chapter 219 Ambush
Half an hour later, Cao Weida entered Liu Rusi's room.

What catches the eye is Liu Rusi's smooth, white back, partially exposed as she sits in the bathtub.

A few strands of wet hair fell onto her shoulder. As she raised her hand to gather her hair, her forearm emerged from the water, and the splashing water droplets slid down her collarbone into the bathtub, the shimmering light on the surface of the splashing water dazzling her eyes.

The moisture blurred half of her face, leaving only her jawline bathed in warm light.

What a beautiful picture of a woman bathing!

This beautiful scene left Cao Weida speechless for a moment. Only someone with no taste would think that a woman is most beautiful when she is naked.

People with an artistic eye often prefer that kind of hazy beauty.

Hearing the door open, Liu Rusi turned around and saw Cao Weida staring at her blankly. A smug smile spread across her face. She then leaned seductively against the edge of the bathtub, her delicate head resting on her arm, and beckoned with a slender finger:

"Master, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and help me! What are you waiting for?"

"Coming right now! Your master is going to serve my beloved concubine well!" Cao Wei was overjoyed. The little vixen was indeed a little vixen; her seductive skills were simply amazing!

Unable to resist any longer, Cao Wei quickly stripped off his clothes, leaving only his underwear, and strode into the bathtub.

"Ugh, how annoying! I asked you to come here to scrub my back, so don't you dare do anything naughty!"

"Don't be naughty, don't be naughty, your master is a gentleman! Turn around, I'll rub your back!"

"Hmph, that's for the best. Ah~~ Hmm~~ Master~~ Didn't you say you wanted a back rub?"

"Don't talk, your husband is serious!"

An hour later, Cao Weida carried the cleaned Liu Rusi to the bed.

Two slender arms wrapped around his neck, and Liu Rusi smiled charmingly, her tired face revealing a lingering sense of satisfaction.

After a hearty meal, Liu Rusi, exhausted, fell asleep the moment her head hit the bed, unable to suppress the smile on her face.

Looking at Liu Rusi curled up in his arms like a kitten, Cao Weida smiled. Who would have thought that the domineering, proud, and insecure love-struck Liu Ye in the original work was the same person as the obedient and docile woman in his arms like a kitten at this moment?

As his fingers gently brushed across her delicate skin, Liu Rusi, who was not yet fully asleep, opened her alluring eyes as if sensing something.

Seeing the affection in Cao Weida's eyes, Liu Ru gave him a charming smile and snuggled closer to him, as if she wanted to stick herself completely to her master.

"Master, hold me tighter."

Although she was the daughter of Shen Shih-chang, a high-ranking official in the Kuomintang, their relationship as women was not harmonious.

She was born to a concubine, and Shen Shichang abandoned her after being with her mother for less than six months.

It is well known that children from single-parent families, especially those without a father, are the most insecure and crave care and affection from others.

The same applies to Liu Rusi.

That night, just as she was falling into despair, Cao Wei Da rescued her as if by divine intervention.

At that moment, he seemed to her like the perfect man sent by heaven to save her!

Especially when Cao Wei Da disregarded the danger and carried her away, a sense of security she had never felt before filled her heart.

At that moment, Cao Weida's image was deeply etched into her mind and could never be erased.
'She really is a hopeless romantic.'

Seeing how infatuated Liu Rusi was with him, Cao Weida smiled inwardly.

It's not necessarily a good thing for a woman to be love-obsessed, but if the object of her love is herself, that's truly wonderful!
Who wouldn't love a woman who's infatuated with him, crazy about him, and willing to bang her head against a wall for him?

He tightened his arms around her, pulling her close and feeling the softness and warmth of her skin. The energy he had just released seemed to be stirring again.

Taking a sniff of his scent, Liu Rusi felt a sense of peace she had never experienced before, and hugged his waist tightly.

She had just closed her eyes when she suddenly opened them again and bit down on his shoulder.

She felt a burning sensation in her lower abdomen, and her heart was filled with shame, joy, and anger. "You stinking old man, where do you get so much energy every day!"
If only he had less energy! With my skills, Liu Rusi, I could easily serve him comfortably and keep him by my side forever.
"Hiss~~ You little brat, are you a dog? Trying to murder your husband?" Cao Weida grinned, showing his teeth.

In fact, Liu Rusi did not use much force, and given his excellent physical condition, he did not feel much pain at all.

On the contrary, he was worried about hurting Liu Rusi, so he didn't dare to use too much force, for fear that his muscles would tense up and he would knock her teeth.

"Hehe, I'm leaving a mark on you, Master, so you'll always remember me and won't abandon me." Liu Rusi chuckled sweetly, snuggling closer to him again.

Such a firm and warm embrace made her feel so safe that she didn't want to leave for even a moment.

As he was talking, he suddenly yawned, closed his eyes, used Cao Weida's chest as a pillow, and smacked his lips every now and then.
That silly look of his is just so adorable.
He took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time. It was already ten o'clock, and it was almost time.

He pressed his fingers on Liu Rusi's acupoints to help her fall asleep, then gently removed the jade-like arm that had been supporting her, and quietly slipped out of the room.

The night was quiet, and the bluestone pavement on the street was bleached white by the moonlight. The street, which was quite lively during the day, was now completely deserted.

Only the dull echoes of Japanese sentries patrolling at night and the leather boots of puppet troops reverberated across the empty landscape, audible from afar. The doors of the shops along the street were tightly shut, some still bearing wooden signs that read "Good Citizen Certificate Verification Office," which stood out starkly in the night.

The city gate tower stood darkly in the night. A searchlight shone from the Japanese guard post on the city wall. When the beam of light swept across the street, even the weeds at the base of the wall seemed to stretch taut.

A figure moved silently through the alleyways, occasionally leaping over walls and speeding off in a single direction with a clear objective.

Upon arriving at the location, Cao Weida, carrying a light machine gun, looked around and then rhythmically clapped his hands.

A moment later, some noises broke out in the quiet surroundings.

A dark figure with a gun cautiously approaches.

"The moon and stars are sparse!"

"The road ahead is smooth and bright!"

Upon receiving the coded message, the shadowy figure instantly lowered his guard and strode forward, his eyes, not hidden by the veil, brimming with excitement: "Comrade Yanshi, thank you so much! The weapons you provided have truly saved us from our urgent crisis!"

As he spoke, a pair of rough, strong hands gripped Cao Weida tightly and shook him vigorously a few times.

Let alone infiltrating Beiping, they never had so many good weapons, not even when they were fighting guerrilla warfare outside the city!
He's a soldier, and he has a deep-seated love for good weapons!

Guns are a soldier's second life, and that's absolutely true!
"Inkstone" was the code name Lao Luo gave to Cao Wei Da. He shook hands with the other party and nodded, saying:
"Hello, Comrade Qingshan, now is not the time for thanks. How is the situation?"

"Comrade Yanshi, please rest assured, everything has been arranged. As soon as there is any movement over there, we will immediately send a message here!"

This is the only way to the pier, and the area is lush with trees, making it a great place for seclusion.

Cao Wei looked around and had to admit that they were indeed professionals; the ambush location they had chosen was quite professional.

"That's good. Let's go, let's hide first."

They dared not approach the Japanese trading company, nor did they dare to inquire recklessly, lest they arouse the other party's suspicion. The best course of action was to wait and see.

Upon arriving at the ambush site, the people hidden there were revealed to Cao Wei Da.

He had no intention of investigating and hid with Comrade Qingshan, waiting quietly.

For a time, apart from the rustling of leaves in the breeze and the chirping of insects all around, there was no other sound.

Time passed slowly, but the guerrillas in the shadows showed no impatience.

Cao Weida took out his pocket watch and glanced at it; it was already past 12:20.

Just then, a masked guerrilla quietly ran over and whispered a few words in Qingshan's ear.

Qingshan cautiously jolted, then barked, "Attention, everyone! The target has set off. Everyone, be alert! Double-check your weapons to ensure everything is in perfect order!"

"Once I fire the first shot, open fire immediately! We must end the battle as quickly as possible!"

These guerrillas were clearly well-trained; none of them responded, but the continuous clicking sounds were the most effective response.

Cao Wei Da also checked the firearms, which was basically to make sure they were loaded and the safety was off.

After confirming that there were no problems, the gun was loaded, and the player waited quietly in ambush.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of an engine came from afar.

Cao Wei Da's ears twitched, and he said to Qingshan beside him, "They're here!"

Qingshan listened intently to the ground, then glanced at Cao Weida in surprise, but didn't say anything. Instead, he raised one hand and made a gesture.

The sound of the engine gradually became clearer, growing louder as it approached. Everyone instinctively held their breath, quietly waiting for the vehicle to enter the ambush zone.

Not long after, three trucks came into view, each carrying about a dozen escorts.

They drove along the road in the dark, completely unaware of the impending danger.

The first truck drove past where Cao Weida and his men were hiding, but no one fired a shot.

Seeing that Qingshan made no move, Cao Wei Da knew that he must have made full preparations in advance, and that Qingshan would definitely not let the vehicles pass.

Sure enough, after driving for a short while, a loud 'bang' was heard, and the front half of the car at the front was noticeably lower, as if it had fallen into some kind of ditch.

Hearing the noise, the drivers of the two cars behind instinctively stepped on the brakes.

But just then, Qingshan shouted, "Attack!"

As the first shot rang out, gunfire immediately followed, the faint red glow of bullets streaking across the night sky completely enveloping the three trucks.
