The sky was getting dark, and the dense jungle outside the city became a little quieter. Haiyao could only hear the rumble of the engine in her ears.

About half an hour later, the city wall of Shanghai finally showed a vague outline in the distance. The ancient appearance was like a beast dormant in the night, which made people breathless at a glance.

When the car came closer, Haiyao was separated from her wandering thoughts. The next second she noticed something unusual inside and outside the city gate.

Due to the special situation now, since the war started in Su City, the city gates of Shanghai City have always been closed at dark, but not today.Even with the sound of rumbling from far to near, many military pickup trucks were driving towards the city in the yellow sand.

At this time, everything had to make way for the army, so the Song family's car stopped outside the city gate, and it took about a stick of incense to finally return to the city.

At this moment, the city was still calm, no different from before, except that there were a few military lords walking together on the road. However, Hai Yao's eyelids, sitting in the car, twitched for no reason. .

This scene... Why does it look like the new government is trying to turn Shanghai City into a second Sioux City?

Could it be that they expected that Su City would be destroyed soon?But how?Song Jiayan had returned to the front line not long ago. Originally, the first major general of the northern and southern warlords did not exist in vain, otherwise he would not have been resented by the Japanese army.

Withdrawing her gaze towards the lonely street outside the window, Hai Yao turned her gaze to Song Jiayan's confidant who was driving in front, and spoke after some deliberation: "This military master, do you know why there are suddenly so many people in the city?" so many people?"

The other party didn't seem to expect that she would suddenly talk to him. After a brief panic, he regained his composure: "The new government values ​​Suzhou City, and I guess these people will be ready to go and provide support at any time."

"By the way, Miss Xu, do you still want to go back to the Holy Medical Hall?"

Haiyao shook her head as usual, reported the address of Shunheng Clothing Store, and then looked out the car window again as if she didn't notice the strange look on the driver's face just now.

The car shuttled on the streets which were much wider than in the daytime, and it didn't take long to arrive at Shunheng Buhang.

"Excuse me, Master, please wait for a moment. I want to go to the Song family to see the second lady later." After getting off the car, Haiyao said politely to the man, who naturally would not refuse Song Jiayan's order.

At that time, Shunzi, who had been sent out to monitor Tang Tian and the Tang family, had been waiting in Shun Heng's shop for a long time. When he saw her coming back, he stood up from his chair. Before she could open her mouth to ask, he told her everything about the past two days. He told me everything he saw and heard.

Why did Tang Tian actually have a close relationship with the Japanese? The Tang family should have surrendered to the Japanese, so I'm sure they didn't hold it back.

Haiyao knew about this earlier, so he wasn't too surprised.

"Oh, yes, but I haven't seen Master Tang since last night." Shunzi suddenly remembered something and quickly added: "And this morning, before it was even bright, the Tang family was surrounded by a group of new people. The government troops surrounded them, and I was afraid that they would be found growing more branches, so I didn’t dare to get too close, but I just heard the cries of some women.”

Howling...

Haiyao stopped rocking in the rocking chair and slowly opened her eyes. It was only now that she finally figured out what was wrong.

All this was too much fanfare. In the afternoon, Song Jiayan kept telling her to return to Su City as soon as possible to prevent the Japanese army from noticing anything unusual. In the end, not only did they kill Tang Tian with thunderous means, but they also did so without any cover-up in the early morning. Surrounded the Tang family.

It doesn't look like he wants to hide the Japanese from the people at all, it's more like he just wants to dig out the Japanese's arrangement in Shanghai from the Tang family as soon as possible, so as to protect the entire city of Shanghai.As for Su City, it was not considered at all.

Unless...unless the Japanese's plan from the beginning was not to invade Shanghai City due to the so-called epidemic disease. From the beginning to the end, those people's plan was to engage in germ warfare in Shanghai and Jiangsu Province!
Recalling the sudden appearance of new government troops she saw after returning to the city, Haiyao pursed her lips. What a bullshit reserve army. Such actions clearly meant that the government had completely given up on Su City.

After all, the Tang family can help save Hu City. Su City can be said to be a mess without a clue. The moment the news about Hu City spreads, there is a chance that it will explode.

No wonder Song Jiayan behaved so strangely before leaving.

Haiyao was not unaware of his secret emotions. It turned out that the turbulent patience hidden under the calm appearance was actually the man's silent farewell to her.

After a few minutes, Haiyao slowly relaxed her somewhat stiff body and resumed her rhythmic shaking: "Over there in Su City, how many people are left in the city?"

"All the civilians who could have run away have fled. Now, except for the fellow villagers who are hard to leave their hometown, there should be only a few merchants left to maintain the normal operation of the city while the army is stationed." Although Shunzi didn't know why her daughter did this He suddenly asked about this, but he still said dutifully: "As for the others... At first, the new government army sent more than 8 troops. After several attempts to resist, it was estimated that there are only [-] or [-] people left. "

Before the war broke out, the prosperity of Sioux City was not inferior to that of Shanghai City.Even if they escape no matter how hard they escape, plus the garrison troops, there should still be a population of several hundred thousand in Suzhou City.

With a silent sigh, Hai Yao did not continue the topic, but instead started to tell her about things in the shop.

Now she has a lot of properties under her name, and Shunzi has already started helping her take care of her business, so she didn't feel anything unusual, but she just felt that her young lady talked a lot today.

When the time approached midnight and the sky outside became darker, Haiyao finally explained to Shunzi that it would at least ensure that there would be no mistakes in the operation of those shops in a short period of time.

After that, she urged Shunzi to take a rest early. Under the watch of the young man, she left Shunheng Clothing Store and got into the car again.

The military master who had been waiting patiently for a long time rubbed his face vigorously, and carefully looked at the person in the back seat along the rearview mirror: "Miss Xu, do you want to see the second lady now? I'm afraid it's the second lady at this hour. The lady has already rested..."

"No, please send me to Su City." Haiyao interrupted the thoughts of the person in front.

"Okay...what?!" Because of her words, let alone falling asleep, the man was almost frightened to the point of losing his pulse.

"I said..." Hai Yao crossed her chest with her free hands, raised her chin slightly and said in an imposing manner, "Go to Su Cheng!"

It doesn't matter whether she overestimates her own abilities or the Holy Mother, because she has experienced it in her original motherland, she understands the pain that is full of wounds.This kind of pain is difficult to heal no matter how much time passes, and no one is destined to bear it.

Even though she was not sure whether she could help, Haiyao still went to Su Cheng this time, because she knew very well that eggs would never be left intact even if the nest was overturned.What's more, the family and friends in Shanghai who have a body like hers have promised others things, so they naturally want to find ways to do the best.

Maybe he was shocked by the momentum she burst out at that moment, or maybe he saw through the determination in the depths of her eyes, or maybe he was Song Jiayan's confidant who had to die in front of his young master. The military master opened his mouth, looked at her for a long time, and finally started the car silently.

Riding in the darkness, the car disappeared at the end of the street in just a blink of an eye. (End of chapter)
