How about simply shaving your head and becoming a civilized citizen? This idea entered his mind instantly, but he quickly rejected the idea: even if he shaved his head, there was still a "reverence period" to go through, and he couldn't wait that long.
However, if you just shave your head in private, it should still be possible to pretend to be a naturalized citizen. He went to Nanbao a few days ago and saw Zhou Zhongjun's dress - the same as Lian Nishang's dress. Walking on the street, no one would doubt that she was actually a Ming Dynasty heroine who had just come to high school!
Clothes for naturalized people are easy to get, and they are sold in clothing stores on the street. As for shaving your head, there are also barber shops on the street. I just don’t know if I, a “native” like me, will be shaved there. This is something I need to inquire about first.
He was thinking in his mind, but his eyes kept looking around the gymnasium, looking at the entrances and exits. I saw that the venue was very high, with the ground being three or four stories high from the roof, and the roof was inlaid with large glass. Although there are windows on the four walls, they are opened very high and cannot be used for entry or exit.
The only entrances and exits are the front door and a small door on the side. The other two walls could not be seen clearly, and it was unclear whether there was a door. Zhuo Yifan estimated the size of the house and speculated that there should be a door.
In this way, there are very few places to go in and out. Brick walls have no wooden partitions compared to ordinary houses. They can be easily broken through with brute force and swords. The skylights and windows are so high that it is not easy to climb up to the roof. You need a rope to jump down, otherwise you will be thrown to death.
He immediately hesitated: Although the assassination was successful, the person who carried out the assassination would hardly have a chance to escape. Escape could only go through a few large and small doors. As long as the thieves guarded the door, they could block the assassin in the gymnasium. What about breaking out from the roof? It's not very feasible - the house is too high, and someone has to be sent to prepare ropes on the roof in advance. The whole process of climbing up the rope to the house and leaving from the roof would take a lot of time. If the thief's reaction speed was fast, they wouldn't be able to escape.
certainly. Once Lingao succeeds, it will inevitably fall into chaos, and the Kun thieves will suffer heavy casualties, but this way. The dozens of people who came to Lingao would probably be killed and injured, and the martial arts community in the Central Plains would be severely damaged. I'm afraid they won't be able to explain themselves when they go back.
Before setting off, Shi Weng and the leaders of each faction said that this time it was a "burning cauldron" and that each faction would not hesitate to "sacrifice themselves" to win people. It didn't matter even if the entire army was exhausted. But Zhuo Yifan knew that no one except Shi Weng really thought so.
Never do it in the gym. Zhuo Yifan cast his gaze outside the open door: ambush at the door! There is an open space of about twenty feet from the front steps to the street. It is paved with square stones and decorated with flower beds and trees. Important officials entered and exited the gymnasium. You must pass through this section of the road, you can secretly lurk among the crowd watching the excitement...
While he was planning how to arrange it, there was a clear ringing of car bells outside, and he saw a four-wheel carriage outside the door driving into the empty field under the steps.
As soon as the car stopped at the foot of the steps, a young soldier with a "Lingao Guard" armband on his sleeve and two revolvers hung with a cross on his sleeve jumped out of the driver's seat. He pulled the horse cleanly and stood upright. Stand with your chest at attention. The moment the passenger's head emerged from the car door, his arms were straightly raised. A neat salute.
Zhuo Yifan shuddered: True Kun is here! It goes without saying that this kind of pomp must be the arrival of "seniors". At the moment when the attention of everyone present was attracted by Zhenkun, he shrank back to ensure that he would not be too conspicuous - the gymnasium was almost full of naturalized citizens, and his image was too conspicuous. .
I saw three men getting out of the car, all wearing the kind of double-breasted jackets that the thief loved to wear. However, the quality of the jackets they wore was much better than that of the naturalized people, and they were dressed in a crisp and elegant style. It is not a monotonous color of either blue or black, but an elegant gray. There is no decoration on the whole body, except for a long, slender and shiny silver clip-like thing on the breast pocket, and a strange object on the wrist that is exposed in every movement. It sparkles in the sun and is tied around the wrist with a strap.
Following the men out of the car was a young girl, wearing a blue dress and a white apron, with white cuffs and collar, and holding a black leather bag in her hand. This is probably the so-called "life secretary". Zhuo Yifan originally thought that this concubine of Zhenkun looked like a fairy, but at a glance, he felt that she was nothing more than that. She was just tall and swaying.
Several people were walking and talking while going up the steps. Before they entered the gymnasium, there was already a commotion inside. Someone shouted, "The chief is here!" The naturalized citizens who were busy doing things rushed to the entrance of the gymnasium. Zhuo Yifan originally didn't want to get too close, but he was surrounded by the crowd and couldn't help but squeeze in. Seeing that the situation was not good, he hurried towards the corner.
But they saw that the naturalized people were already excited. I don't know who was the first to applaud. The whole crowd clapped their hands excitedly. Zhuo Yifan didn't know what this meant, and he didn't know if he should follow suit. Fortunately, he was already in the corner and no one around him was paying attention to him.
The soldiers wearing "Lingao Guard" armbands maintained order, but several female students had already rushed forward, holding their arms one by one and surrounding them. Looking at the happy smiles on their faces, they seemed to be enjoying themselves. To the bliss of the human world.
Zhuo Yifan was secretly surprised. He had heard for a long time that thieves were the best at deceiving people, and countless poor people were deceived. Today it seems that the rumors are true.
A few real Kun just waved greetings frequently. At this time, a few students came up to them, grabbed their hands, and said something loudly, as if asking them to "say something."
The leader, Ma Kun, raised his hand with a smile on his face. The applause gradually subsided, and he said loudly:
"Comrades and classmates, we will soon usher in the fourth cultural festival. Many people present have experienced the first cultural festival. At that time, our grassroots grassland did not have a big house. It was in The performance was performed in a shed built with bamboo poles and reed mats. Most of the students had arrived in Lingao not long ago - they had experienced the taste of starvation and suffering. They were all dark, thin and disfigured. For the first time, they were able to eat well and wear neat clothes. , acting, singing, and laughing happily. Although the conditions are simple, I can experience what it feels like to be an upright person. Today, the factory of the Senate has produced more steel, more cement, and we have In such a magnificent gymnasium, the students look much prettier than before..."
At this point, the surrounding students and naturalized citizens burst into joyful laughter. The speaker Zhenkun waited for their laughter to subside and continued, "Although our Lingao and our Hainan Island are becoming more and more beautiful, Lingao and Hainan Island are only a very small part of the entire China. If you look at the world, That is just a speck of dust. As students of the Senate, you must have the world in mind, cherish every day, study hard, exercise, and master your skills. Now, youth is used for struggle; in the future, youth is used for memories. . When you make contributions to the Senate and the people of the world in various positions in the future, everything today will be the best memory of that time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd immediately burst into warm applause. When Zhuo Yifan saw the male and female students and naturalized citizens around him, they were all intoxicated. Some shed tears and their palms turned red. I just feel scared and disgusted. Although he didn't understand some of the words, he still knew the general meaning. This is not as simple as being a rebel - the rebels Zhuo Yifan has seen don't have "the world in mind".
However, judging from today's scene, although the Kun thief has bodyguards with him, the protection is not strict. That is to say, the road is not clear and the streets are clean, and the idlers are not allowed to avoid it. If the crowd were willing to risk their lives, there would be no problem in assassinating one or two of them just now.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, Zhuo Yifan breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Lian Nishang looking around for him not far away, he quickly walked over.
"Where did you go? You disappeared after a while." Lian Nishang complained, "It's so big here, how can I find you?"
"When someone squeezes me, I can't help myself." Zhuo Yifan concealed it. He saw tears in Lian Nishang's eyes, and he felt contempt in his heart: Her words and deeds seemed like a strange woman, but he didn't expect that she could be bewitched to such an extent!
He asked: "Are those a few senior Australians just now?"
Lian Nishang nodded and said: "Exactly."
"Seeing that the training girl is so happy, could it be that she is the girl's benefactor?"
Lian Nishang nodded and said: "It's true that they are benefactors, but I don't know these leaders."
Zhuo Yifan was a little hard to understand for a moment, but fortunately Lian Nishang continued: "I have received great kindness from the Senate. If it hadn't been for the Senate's rescue, Lian Nishang would have turned into withered bones long ago."
"I see." Zhuo Yifan knew that Zhenkun probably had a "life-saving grace" for the naturalized people here. No wonder they were all fascinated by the Kun thief. The thieves are running charities on the mainland and relieving refugees. Their sinister intentions are truly shocking! The common people are ignorant and have no sense of righteousness, and are easily blinded by personal favors. It is no wonder that the bandits have been making waves along the coast in recent years, winning every battle and acquiring so many territories.
With this in mind, Zhuo Yifan's heart became a little heavier. He was born in an official family. In addition to practicing martial arts since childhood, he also read poetry and books, traveled around the world, and was involved in the business and officialdom. Although he was young, he was a well-informed young man with both civil and military skills. What he saw and heard in Lingao these days gave him a strong impression that the Kun thief was far more powerful than the imperial court imagined. And their danger to the Ming Dynasty was far greater than that of the Donglu who repeatedly entered the pass and overwhelmed the imperial court. (To be continued.
