  After Du Qianxue sat down, neither of them spoke up, but instead fell into silence.

  Just as the two were feeling a bit awkward, the speeding train suddenly began to slow down, and the strong inertia threw Du Qianxue, who was sitting next to Zhang Xinghan, towards him.

  It happened suddenly, Du Qianxue let out a cry of surprise. Zhang Xinghan instinctively caught her with both hands.

  The two of them came into a close and intimate contact, falling into Zhang Xinghan's arms. Du Qianshuo instinctively raised her head, and suddenly found herself staring into Zhang Xinghan's eyes.

  Du Qianxue sniffed the unique male scent emanating from Zhang Xinghan's body, her eyes slightly dazed. At this moment, Zhang Xinghan's embrace gave her a warmth and solidity she had never experienced before. If possible, she would be willing to be held like this forever.

  Embracing such a delicate and soft jade-like body, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her, Zhang Xinghan's mind also wandered, after all, he was in his prime youth, with vigorous energy! It was hard to avoid some emotional stirring, which was only human.

  Du Qianxue saw a strange gaze in Zhang Xinghan's eyes, and under the shyness, her face turned slightly red as she closed those gentle and watery eyes.

  However, at this time, a long and shrill whistle of the train's horn pierced through.

  "No good! The train is going to make an emergency stop! It seems those rascals' accomplices have arrived! We must hurry up and get off the train!" Sanity suddenly took hold of Zhang Xinghan's mind, he hastily pushed Du Qianshu away, helped her stand up and said.

  "Ah!" Du Qianxue was suddenly pushed away, her face bright red, shy and embarrassed, nodding lightly. Completely gone was the cold arrogance of the past few days.

  Zhang Xinghan didn't have the mood to appreciate Du Qianxue's current appearance, which was quite pitiful. He looked around anxiously and found that at the end of the carriage, there were more than a dozen large wooden boxes piled up, with seals on them.

  Zhang Xinghan hastily walked over, not having time to see what was written on the seal, Zhang Xinghan tore off a seal from a wooden box, and after forcing it open, he found that the lid of the wooden box was nailed with iron nails.

  He reached into his waist and pulled out a shiny dagger, which was left by Zhang Xinghan when he sent General Zhao Dengyu, the rifle was given to him, and the dagger was kept for himself, one is for self-defense, and the other is as a keepsake.

  Seeing Zhang Xinghan take out his bayonet, Du Qianshuo asked softly: "What's wrong?"

  Zhang Xinghan didn't answer, picked up the bayonet and inserted it into the wooden box cover, prying it open with a couple of forceful movements. The wooden box creaked open, revealing that it was filled with straw. Zhang Xinghan used the bayonet to sweep aside the straw, only to discover that inside were some ceramic products.

  "Are these antiques?" Du Qianxue asked from beside him.

  "They're all fakes! Merchants use them to make money." Zhang Xinghan said, walking towards several other boxes and opening a few in a row. Inside were all ceramic products.

  At this time, the train had completely stopped. Zhang Xinghan was somewhat anxious and rummaged through the trunks, finally finding two large theatrical costumes in another wooden trunk.

  Zhang Xinghan threw one of them to Du Qianxue and said, "Change quickly!" As he spoke, he began to take off his clothes to change.

  "Oh!" Du Qianxue took over the clothes and turned around with a blush on her face, saying softly: "Turn around."

  "Oh!" Zhang Xinghan almost turned around with his back exposed.

  Soon, both of them changed their clothes, and Zhang Xinghan took out some rouge used by the actors to make up, and applied it to himself and Du Qianshuang.

  At first glance, they looked exactly like two actors. The two of them exchanged a look and immediately walked out of the train car and into the passenger car. At this time, a large number of Japanese ronin merchants and their traitorous lackeys had already stormed into the car, causing the ordinary people inside to become as frightened as birds startled by a bowstring, and they were in complete disarray.

  No one noticed the two men who suddenly appeared in theatrical costumes, because the people on the train had already informed the Japanese merchants of Zhang Xinghan's dress and other characteristics, so the Japanese ronin holding samurai swords immediately caught the man wearing a Western suit.

  Zhang Xinghan and Du Qianxue quietly walked towards the carriage door, taking advantage of the commotion. At the entrance of the carriage, two Japanese ronin saw two people wearing theatrical costumes walking down, with colorful makeup on their faces, clearly not the people they were looking for. They immediately became impatient and waved their hands, saying: "Make way!"

  The two took advantage of the opportunity to get off the train. After getting off the train, Zhang Xinghan only discovered that this was Wangdu Railway Station, a small stop along the way.

  The two of them, after leaving the station, headed south all the way until they arrived at a forest, where they exchanged their clothes.

  Threw away the cumbersome and inconvenient costume, feeling relaxed. Although the clothes were changed, but the makeup on her face couldn't be washed off due to lack of water.

  The two of them looked at each other's ridiculously smeared faces and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "Now the train can't be done! What should we do?" Du Qianxue asked, stopping her own laughter.

  "We've got plenty of time anyway!" Zhang Xinghan said without hesitation.

  "Oh!" Du Qianxue nodded.

  "Let's go!" Zhang Xinghan inserted his dagger into his waist and gestured with his hand.

  "Where are you going?"

  "First go find some water and wash off the stuff on our faces, otherwise when we get to town, people will definitely take us for monsters!"

  "Hehe! If you're a monster, then you're a monster."

  Why??

  "Have you ever seen such a beautiful monster?"

  “……..”

  "Hehe..." Du Qianxue's silvery laughter gradually faded away.

  ……

  Three days later, Dingzhou County.

  Zhang Xinghan and Du Qianxue walked into the county town together, looking at the blue sky white sun flag hanging on the city gate tower of the county town. Zhang Xinghan was filled with emotion. Here is still within the jurisdiction of the National Government's forces, but those Japanese ronin can come and go freely. It must be known that the Great Wall War is currently being fiercely fought, and the front-line soldiers are fighting hard to block the Japanese enemy's crazy attack. However, in the rear, the Japanese businessmen from the Japanese Chamber of Commerce can still walk around at will on Chinese soil, bullying ordinary Chinese people.

  Throughout the 5,000 years of Chinese history, such a scene is rare. The two countries are at war, yet the expatriates of the other country can still roam freely and dominate in this land.

  This is inseparable from the National Government's current attitude towards Japan. Firstly, the National Government has not declared war on Japan at present, and Chairman Chiang does not have the courage to engage in an all-out war with Japan. He believes that China's guns are no match for those of others, its cannons are no match for those of others, and its industry is no match for that of others. In fact, these are all empty words. The main reason is that Chairman Chiang regards the Communist Party as a major threat to his rule and firmly believes that one must first stabilize the country before dealing with external threats.

  In fact, until the 26th year of the Republic of China, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out in full scale, the National Government's strength was not much stronger than it is now. However, they did achieve a victory in the military encirclement of the Soviet Area, forcing the Red Army to conduct an unprecedented strategic transfer of 25,000 miles.

  It wasn't until after the Xi'an Incident that Chiang Kai-shek, under pressure, issued a statement calling for the unification of national armed forces to resist Japan. The following year, the July 7th Incident broke out and Japanese troops invaded China on a large scale, at which point Chiang also began actively preparing and issued a declaration calling on military and civilians nationwide to resist Japan.

  Party strife, in the political aspect, Zhang Xinghan did not want to go and participate, nor did he want to join in. He only knew that he was a soldier, a Chinese man, and since he had arrived at the most critical moment of his motherland, he would do his utmost to resist the enemy invasion! To annihilate as many invaders as possible, with blood defending national dignity, defending the integrity of the motherland's territory.
