Chapter 27: Life and Death Together

In the suburbs of Beijing, two people rode high-headed horses around a luxurious white carriage. In the carriage were four women, namely Gelina, Jennifer and Jingfu's undecided Mrs. Tang Yimeng, while Tang Jian and Tang Kuncai were sitting on the groom seat in front of the carriage. Tang Jian himself drove, Li Gates and Zhang Zuolin, one on the left and one on the right, were riding around both sides of the carriage. (eng.com)

Last night, Tang Jianyi sent a signal that Zhang Zuolin and Zhu Lianjie ignited the Zhong Palace with foreign oil that had been prepared. The fire then became stronger and stronger, causing great chaos to the Zhong Palace.

Tang Jian got several sets of Beiyang New Army uniforms, and took advantage of the chaos to mingle with Gelina's guards to get out of the Zhong Prince's Mansion. After resting for a short middle of the night, early in the morning, Tang Jian and his group safely left Beijing under the cover of Gelina.

Tang Jian handed the whip to his father Tang Kuncai, and he turned around and entered the carriage. In the carriage, Mrs. Tang slept lightly because of excessive fright. Terina, Jennifer and Deng Yimeng were not able to speak. The three of them were silent and leaned against each other to rest.

As soon as Tang Jian entered the carriage, he saw Deng Yimeng, who was exhausted, still taking care of Mrs. Tang who was already asleep. Unconsciously, he felt warm in his heart. He gently hugged Deng Yimeng in his arms, stroked her head, and said softly: "Meng'er, thank you for your hard work!"

Deng Yimeng gently twitched the nose and said, "With Brother Jian here, Meng'er never felt it was hard!"

"My good dreamer!" Tang Jian sighed. He was content with such an understanding and well-behaved wife in life.

Tang Jian looked up, but he didn't expect that he happened to meet Terina's jealous eyes.

Tang Jian laughed dryly, let go of Deng Yimeng's right hand, and looked at Terina.

In fact, Deng Yimeng's heart was like a mirror. A Russian princess risked her life and death to help Tang Jian save her and Tang Jian's parents. She was both women. How could she not understand the princess's thoughts?

Terina said resentfully: "Tang, after sending you to your destination, I will go back to Beijing!"

"What? How can this work?" Tang Jian said in surprise. Yuan Shikai must have known about Gelina helping Tang Jian save the Tang couple and Deng Yimeng.

According to Yuan Shikai's sinister personality, so what if Terina is a Russian princess and ambassador? When Terina returns to Beijing, Beijing is Yuan Shikai's territory. As long as Yuan Shikai is willing, he only needs to give the Tsar a high-sounding excuse to put Terina in danger. Isn't it a death to go back now?

"I don't agree!" Tang Jian said firmly.

Terina said quietly: "I'm unnecessary here anyway!" His tone contained a strong sense of jealousy.

Deng Yimeng saw that Tang Jian and Gelina had arguing, so he asked Tang Jian why. Tang Jian told Deng Yimeng the idea of ​​Gelina returning to Beijing. Deng Yimeng glared and said, "Brother Jian, how can that work? Isn't it very dangerous for Princess Gelina to go back now!"

Tang Jian smiled bitterly: "Meng'er, I know, but..." Tang Jian glanced at the lonely Terina.

How intelligent Deng Yimeng is? He guessed the reason when he saw the expressions of the two. So Deng Yimeng turned to Terina and pulled the corner of Terina's clothes and persuaded: "Your Highness, you can't go back like this, it's very dangerous to go back like this!" Even though Terina couldn't understand Deng Yimeng's advice.

Deng Yimeng twisted her head and said, "Brother Jian, just advise Princess Gelina!"

How to persuade? Could you tell Deng Yimeng directly that he wanted Gelina to share with her? Tang Jian said with a wry smile in his heart.

Deng Yimeng persuaded her for a long time, but still saw that Gelina was indifferent. After holding it in a while, she finally plucked up the courage and said, "Brother Jian, just tell her, just say I... I'm willing to serve you with her!" Deng Yimeng blushed and held her breath and finished speaking.

Hearing Deng Yimeng's heart, it was Tang Jian's turn to open his mouth. He did not expect that Deng Yimeng would take the initiative to say this with such a shy personality. Tang Jian was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth wide and did not speak.

Deng Yi dreamed that Tang Jian was still hesitating at this time, so she stomped her feet hatefully and said, "Brother Jian, please tell Your Highness the Princess quickly. At worst, I am a small person and she is a big person. If she really makes up her mind to return to Beijing, then you still regret it?"

Tang Jian was stunned again, and then understood Deng Yimeng's difficulties. She was afraid that her current identity would not be as good as Princess Terina's identity, so she took the initiative to say that she would be a younger one.

Tang Jian looked at Deng Yimeng with gratitude and said to Gelina: "Terina, you should be with us! Meng'er said she wants to be sisters with you and marry me with you!"

Terina spat, "Who said she was going to marry you!" Having said that, Terina's face showed unconcealed joy.

Tang Jian was grateful for everything that Terina did to him. For him, Terina came to Beijing alone and went through thousands of dangers before meeting him. Now he risked his life to save his family. In the end, he was willing to give up his identity as a princess in a country and devote himself to him. This sincere and fanatical love made Tang Jian dare not let her down.

As soon as Tang Jian told Deng Yimeng the idea that Gelina had made accusation, Deng Yimeng immediately smiled as bright as a flower, held Gelina's hand tightly, and told Gelina intimately, regardless of whether Gelina could understand it.

Terina felt Deng Yimeng's sincerity, and soon the two of them became tired of talking and gesture.

Seeing this scene, Tang Jian felt relieved. The problem that had troubled him for a long time was easily solved. Two women who were not able to speak can chat so closely? Tang Jian had to sigh that nationality is not distance, and communication is indeed not a problem!

Seeing the problem solved, Tang Jian got out of the carriage with relief and returned to his position to continue rushing the carriage. Tang Jian asked Zhang Zuolin: "Zuolin, where are you now?"

"Report to Commander, we have left the boundary of Beijing and now head towards Tianjin!" Zhang Zuolin replied.

Hearing Zhang Zuolin's answer, Tang Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that after they came out of Beijing, several other CIA intelligence personnel turned into another group of people and headed towards Shanhaiguan in the north.

The few people disguised as Tang Jian and his group and led Yuan Shikai's pursuers to the north. Yuan Shikai would not have expected that Tang Jian would go the other way and directly led everyone to Tianjin, which was heavily guarded by the heavy troops.

According to the suspicion arranged by Tang Jian, Yuan Shikai must have thought that Terina would take the Tang couple to the northeast of Shanhaiguan. As long as she passed Shanhaiguan, it would be the Russians' sphere of influence. By then, Yuan Shikai's pursuers would not dare to do anything arbitrarily.

When Yuan Shikai's pursuers realized, Tang Jian and his group had already arrived in Tianjin, where there was a merchant ship arranged by Tang Jian early. As soon as they arrived at the sea, Yuan Shikai could not do anything to Tang Jian.

It was just that the CIA people suffered. In order to cover up Tang Jian, they might end up in danger.

In a few days, Tang Jian and his group successfully arrived at the interface of Tianjin. In another two hours, they could reach the dock.

Just when Tang Jian and others thought they could escape, Li Gates suddenly rode his horse to Tang Jian's car and said anxiously: "Young Master, the pursuit is coming soon!"

Tang Jian stood up and raised his telescope and looked back. Sure enough, at the intersection of the sky in the eyepiece, a large area of ​​smoke rushed towards this side. Tang Jian knew that it was Yuan Shikai's vanguard of cavalry pursuit troops.

Tang Jian drank, "Go away!" After saying that, he raised his whip and slapped the two horses in the shaft. The horse was in pain and ran away his hooves.

At this time, Deng Yimeng, who was shocked by the sudden bumps of the carriage, leaned out and asked, "Brother Jian, what's wrong?"

Tang Jian turned around and said, "Go back to the carriage and sit down, the pursuers behind him are catching up!"

There were pursuers behind, and Tang Jian and his group ran wildly. The four good horses under the shaft were foaming at the mouth because of the long running. It seemed that they couldn't support them for long. Tang Jian was anxious and was still beating for life, wanting the carriage to be faster.

If it were Tang Jian and others, they would be able to escape the pursuit of the pursuers, but now there are four female members in the carriage. Once the carriage stops and the pursuits are caught, they will definitely die!

However, it was raining all night long. Although Tang Jian kept whipping a few horses and wanted to run faster, the four horses slowly lowered their speed while foaming at the same time. Finally, the two war horses in front suddenly fell to the side of the road, almost overturning the carriage.

Seeing the pursuers behind getting closer, Li Gates and Zhang Zuolin, who were running in front, came back and jumped off the horse and said, "Master Commander, let's stop here for a while. You can take a few women and go first!"

Tang Jian felt a lot of pain. Why did his brothers rush out to die for him every time he encountered danger? First, Chen Erbao, then Wang Jianchuan, He Shan and others, but now Li Gates and Zhang Zuolin.

Tang Jian didn't want his brother to die for him every time, but he wanted to run away in shame. When he thought of this, Tang Jian made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said to Tang Kun: "Father, you will escape first with your mother, Meng'er and others. Li Gates and I resisted for a while, and then we will catch up!"

Tang Kun shook his head and disagreed. Everyone knew that staying would lead to death!

Deng Yi dreamed that Tang Jian insisted on staying, and grabbed Tang Jian's sleeve and cried, "Brother Jian, if you don't leave, I won't leave. If we want to die, we will die together!"

Terina and Jennifer also understood Tang Jian’s intention at this moment, and they also thrust their chests, willing to live and die with Tang Jian.

Before Tang Jian could speak, Li Gates said anxiously: "Young Master, why are you still procrastinating? The pursuers are almost catching up!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Jian looked back and saw that the smoke and dust were getting closer and closer, and even a black war horse could be seen. Tang Qiu was on his head.

It's too late!

Tang Jian suddenly let go and said with a smile: "Haha, since you can't escape, then forget it, you have your best brother to accompany you anyway!" Tang Jian looked at Li Gates and Zhang Zuolin, "There is no regrets if you have the closest person you are with you to die with me!" Tang Jian looked at the Tang couple, Deng Yimeng, and Terina and others affectionately.

Seeing that he could no longer escape, Zhang Zuolin smiled when he heard Tang Jian’s bold words: “Forget it, fight to the end today!”

Tang Jian pulled out his own pistol, stood in front with Lee Gates and Zhang Zuolin, and said with a smile: "Then let's fight to the end!"
