Chapter 481: Bai Ruoyun
Chapter 481 Bai Ruoyun
A bustling gambling house in the west city, where fish and dragons are mixed together, it is a gathering place for street gangsters. A mile or so through the casino is a row of old alleys.
Due to the influence of the surrounding environment, there are not many simple residents in this area. After all, ordinary people cannot live in this kind of place.
Bai Ruoyun came to a relatively grand courtyard with a basket on her shoulders.
The men who saw her around whistled from time to time, staring at her face with salivating eyes, but no one dared to step forward.
Bai Ruoyun quickened her pace unconsciously. Although she has been here for six or seven years, she still trembles in fear every time she goes out.
Bai Ruoyun pushed open the door, the courtyard was still the same as when he left, Gong Jue still hadn't come back, only a few of Gong Jue's younger brothers were playing cards there, saw her come back, they didn't lift their eyes, one of them snorted coldly, and taunted her, nothing more than saying that she wishful thinking.
In these years, she has never heard any harsh words. Bai Ruoyun has already gotten used to it, so she came to the kitchen and started cooking.
Gong Jue didn't come back until it was completely dark.
Bai Ruoyun heard the movement, sat up from a doze, and greeted him in surprise: "Brother Gong, sit down for a while, I'll heat up the food."
Gong Jue obviously had something on his mind, so he didn't even look at her, just hummed casually and entered the back room.
Not long after, the food was hot, and Gong hunger striked without taste. Bai Ruoyun hesitated for a while, but still asked, "Did Brother Gong encounter any difficulties?"
Gong Jue glanced at her indifferently, only said "remember your own identity", put down his chopsticks, and went straight back to the back room.
Bai Ruoyun pursed her lower lip, as if she had already gotten used to his attitude. Silently cleaned up the dishes. Just after washing up and getting ready for bed, Gong Jue knocked on her window.
"Where are the things I put here with you? Find them all, I need them urgently."
Bai Ruoyun didn't ask anything, and took out a large wooden box from the bed frame, which contained all the money that Gong Jue had accumulated over the years. The reason why Bai Ruoyun was in charge was not because she had any special feelings for her, but because she had learned to be a housekeeper before she could read and write, and Gong Jue still held her contract of prostitution.
Gong Jue took it, and finally took a look at her. Thinking of something, he went back to the room and brought a deed of prostitution and handed it to her, and took out a bank note from the box.
"I'm going to leave the capital for a while, in the future... I might not come back, take the money and go,"
Bai Ruoyun was stunned for a while, then grabbed Gong Jue's wrist:
"You want to drive me away? No... it's... Su Qing did something wrong again, right? Brother Gong, please listen to my advice. Su Qing is now a wanted criminal by the court. It's no good for you to get involved with her... "
"Shut up, what are you! If you didn't look a bit like Ah Qing, I would be too dirty to even look at you!"
After speaking, he shook off his hand and strode away with the box in his arms.
Because the booster was confiscated this time, Bai Ruoyun was brought directly to the corner of the table. She covered her stomach with a pale face, and after a while, she supported the table to get up.
He touched one side of his abdomen. There was an inch-long scar there. One year, Gong Jue fought with a group of gangsters. At a critical moment, she happened to pass by and blocked the fatal knife for him.
…
Gong Jue rode out of the city on horseback and hurried all the way to a hidden Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city. Some crops were planted in the open space of this village to cover up, and when approaching the house, a pungent smell could be smelled from a distance.
It is said to be a house, but it is actually a row of through-type warehouses, and the lights inside are brightly lit at this time. From time to time, the sound of various tools colliding can be heard. Wherever they passed, all the craftsmen were wearing long white gowns and special gloves on their hands, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
Gong Jue glanced, and accurately found Su Qing among a group of people in white long coats.
Su Qing put down the self-made measuring instrument, showed a relaxed smile, and smiled with a blond man beside him: "Hongyi finally succeeded in the test!"
The man on the opposite side was obviously more excited than her, he let out a hearty laugh, and hugged Su Qing: "Yes, we finally succeeded!"
His name is Andrew, he is from the Great Moon Kingdom, he is very talented in weapon manufacturing, and he is considered a fanatical inventor.
For some reason, he committed a felony and traveled all the way to Daxia.
Although what Su Qing learned in his previous life was automatic weapons and ammunition engineering, the current level of technology is too far behind modern technology, causing serious gaps in all aspects of technology. Simply put, what Su Qing learned is too advanced for this era. It's like knowing the answer to a question, but can't figure out the specific steps to solve it.
And artillery is not like fried chicken milk tea, every step requires accurate data calculation.
Thus, although Su Qing worked on it for two or three years under the impetus of the crown prince, it was not considered a success, and he could only make some simple grenades and firecrackers.
Until half a year ago, Su Qing hid in the Ye Mansion with a disfigured appearance. When he sneaked out of the city, he ran into Andrew by chance, and the two hit it off. And professional knowledge is even more complementary, within half a year, the cannon Hongyi was created.
Andrew's eyes were full of fanaticism: "These red barbarians are powerful enough to blow up a capital city!"
When he said this, his eyes were obviously filled with excitement and madness, as if he was looking forward to such a scene.
Su Qing lowered his eyebrows and agreed casually.
At this moment, the warehouse door opened, and Ye Chen walked over. He asked Su Qing in a low voice, "Successful?"
Compared with half a year ago, he no longer has that kind of gentle and modest bookishness. He has aged a lot, and his eyes are full of anger.
Su Qing's eyes flashed: "Yes, I have something to tell you."
"Exactly, I have something to see you too!"
Andrew looked at the backs of the two leaving, and the look in his eyes became more interesting. He felt that he was a great inventor, and the things he invented should naturally be used on a large scale.
Arriving at a corner where no one was around, Su Qing took the lead to probe: "Now that the prince's brother has been arrested, what shall we do next?"
Ye Chen clenched his fists and his eyes were fierce: "You know, the crown prince was sentenced to Ling Chi! Ling Chi... It takes more than 3,000 knives to die, and the execution lasts three days and three nights. The last person who was sentenced to Ling Chi was decades ago. A big corrupt official of
How unfair the sky is! A person as good as the prince...to be tortured like this! "
Su Qing pretended to be sad and wiped his eyes: "I know, but we can't save him..."
Ye Chen interrupted her coldly, his eyes were red: "I said, as long as it is what he wants, I will do my best to help him get it.
Since he wants this world, then he is going to die, why should I let all the people in the capital be buried with him! "
Su Qing already guessed what he was going to do? But he still asked, "Then what are we going to do?"
Ye Chen glanced at her coldly: "Didn't the Hongyi test succeed? Tomorrow night, on the day of the prince's execution, use it to blow up the capital."
Now that the crown prince has been arrested, his party members have also been liquidated one by one. As the crown prince's pocketbook, Ye Chen is naturally the key target of arrest.
However, Ye Chen was able to build such a huge business empire by himself, which shows his heart and skill. He avoided his captors without much trouble.
But he didn't intend to run away, but wanted to avenge the prince.
In a sense, he and Gong Jue are the same person.
