A low female voice came from the top of the second floor. An old woman wearing a black flag dress, her face already carved with growth rings, appeared at the escalator on the second floor. Takeo Yamada glanced up.
Grandma wore Qing Dynasty flower pot shoes in soft wool, and her body, which was almost hunched over, maintained an upright posture like never before. The ronin pointed his sword at the old grandmother, who looked calm and said, "All of us
You have lost all your skills by using incense, so why bother letting your brothers laugh at me? There is no need to be so tense."
Perhaps Yamada Yuuo also felt that a woman with the strength to bind a chicken would no longer have much offensive power, so he waved his hand to stop the sword-wielding ronin.
Yamada Takeo walked to the double-wide staircase. He walked up a staircase. At the end of the stairs was a glass flower room, which was planted with precious exotic plants, orchids and palm trees. It was covered with ivy and roses. Outside the window,
The moonlight was pouring in, but the room was as warm as spring and sparkling with golden light.
A pearl curtain was opened. Inside the curtain, Aixinjueluo. Pearl Princess was sitting upright. An old nun was serving her tea. Another equally old nanny skillfully started the incense burner. The curling incense made the girl feel quiet.
Sighing: "When did the spring flowers and autumn moon come? How much do we know about the past? There was an east wind in the small building last night, and the motherland cannot bear to look back at the bright moon."
The old grandma also sighed: "My princess is a thousand years old!"
Yamada Yuuo never dreamed that after a bloody journey, there would be such a neat team of palace maids waiting for them quietly holding candles. So the ronin, who had already killed people without blinking, suddenly stopped in front of such a woman.
, not daring to take another half step forward.
This woman is not afraid of death!
This is the power of these defenseless women. Nalan Mingzhu was silent, and the intimidation in the silence was enough to make these men stop and put down their butcher knives. In this weird midnight, the tears shed by the candles line by line were already ominous.
Yamada Takeo was shocked.
The ronin behind him was also shocked.
I don't know whether it was a proactive attack or an offensive-defensive situation, but the men had to receive their bloody machetes. But they all knew how much this woman was worth in this bloodbath.
Yamada Yuuo felt that this was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. She was so dignified and elegant, graceful and luxurious, and so calm and composed, without fear in the face of danger. She was sitting there, so majestic and elegant.
This woman is so beautiful. She is so beautiful that she has dignity and strength. Beauty is a line of defense and a weapon, which is enough to resist those murderous men. No one dares to raise evil and ugly words against beauty.
Weapons. They don't dare, and they can't bear it. This is why heroes are always short of breath in front of beauties.
But when faced with the once powerful Qing Dynasty Qing Dynasty, Yamada Haruo seemed to be respectful but did not bend his knees and said: "I am Yamada Haruo, who is in charge of Xuanyang Society. The Japanese army is the yang, and Xuanyang Society is the yin. One bright and one bright."
Dark, they are each other's exterior and interior, and they swear allegiance to the empire to the death."
Mingzhu Gege sneered, "That man is my subject of the Qing Dynasty. According to the laws of the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, all you rebellious people will be killed in the afternoon. Although the old rules are now in disuse, you are still the god of the Qing Dynasty!"
Takeo Yamada smiled gloomily and took out a piece of white paper from his arms: "Nalan Pearl Princess, to help you restore the Qing Emperor, we need financial support. Tell our imperial friends the secret gold you want, so that our friendship will last forever."
Mingzhu Gege turned a deaf ear and elegantly took a sip of tea from a bowl, her eyes showing dissatisfaction and loneliness: "It seems that Mr. Zhao will never come back. He died for our Qing Dynasty, and he is worthy of his ancestors!", after finishing speaking.
, raised his hand and smacked the tea bowl on the ground. The tea bowl immediately broke into several pieces.
The nuns beside Mingzhu Princess both knelt on the ground and said: "Princess, take care of your jade body."
The ronin were talking among themselves, "Qing Dynasty?" "Qing Dynasty is gone, isn't it Manzhouguo? How can there still be Gege?"
Yamada suppressed his anger and pressed his scarred arm on the gun at his waist: "I think Gege also knows that this is not the Forbidden City, let alone Manchukuo. Your emperor is now only surviving under Japanese guns. This
Sooner or later, the beautiful Shanghai will also become the possession of our Japanese Empire."
Nalan Mingzhu looked proud and said calmly: "I think this little brother is a rising star, a young talent. I'm afraid that this place will belong to you in the future. Thirty servants in the family have been waiting in the backyard for a long time. There are no country people.
If one comes out of the palace, let them go if possible. All the weapons of war, not even the kitchen knives, are left in the storeroom."
Yamada Takeo was obviously going to be angry: "Nalan Mingzhu, I want to remind you that everyone is spreading rumors that you transferred a batch of treasures from the palace and placed them in a Swiss bank. This -"
Nalan Mingzhu raised his head and laughed: "It's really well-informed, but it's a pity, it's a pity that none of you can take it out, because only three people can take it out, one is the dead Mr. Zhao, the other is me, and the third is——."
Yamada Yuuo was anxious: "Who is the third one? Is it the little Princess you gave birth to?" He pressed the knife on Princess's neck, "Gege, for the sake of royal honor, I want a knife that doesn't have eyes."
Nalan Mingzhu chuckled lightly, her smile as bright as a girl's, "If you hadn't secretly released Jiu Gu Powder for me, you really shouldn't have said that."
Yamada Takeo chuckled: "Of course, the magnificent princess is one of the Thirteen Taibao, and I am also afraid of death. You'd better remember that there will only be Manchukuo in the future, and there will be no Qing Dynasty."
The blade is cold to the bone. Even if you are humiliated, you must be proud.
Nalan Mingzhu elegantly held the bowl and sipped the ginseng tea again, until her throat felt fishy and a stream of blood spurted on her chest. Her smile became deeper and deeper, and she collapsed to the ground. She could no longer see the long-awaited big smile.
It was the day when the Qing Dynasty was restored, and she no longer belonged to this new and ruined dynasty. It turned out that when her whole life had passed away, how could she have that unparalleled sobriety and wisdom again? She could only say goodbye, and this was her farewell.
It must be a protective talisman left to my daughter. It is the only treasure given to her by God...
The red candles in the hands of the maids were extinguished one by one.
Then everything dies.
Nalan Pearl sinks into the eternal darkness.
And what filled the darkness was blood-red.
The four nuns who had guarded the Nalan Pearl all their lives knelt down tremblingly, shouting sadly: "Nalan Pearl has died!"
Who is it? Yamada Yuuo roared, who gave the poison!
He tore through the night with a roar: "Find little Princess quickly. Search the building!"
The Ronin led people upstairs. Upstairs were nine spacious bedrooms, each with a different color. Each one was magnificent. The door was open, but the empty room was well decorated, and the toilets were all exquisite.
There are also two large suites with independent rooms, bathrooms, small living rooms, and bars. The beds are hung with curtains and ribbons, and the sheets are spread without wrinkles, as if they are waiting for VIPs to arrive at any time.
The last suite is the children's room. The room is painted in luxurious pink and is connected to a living room and a dressing room. The baby's hair comb is still placed on the dressing table; all kinds of small clothes are hung on the wall cabinet, which is exquisite.
Made of silk, every piece of underwear is embroidered with the Chinese character "Bodhisattva bless you and keep you safe." Nalan Gege once said, "In this way, little Gege can get the closest protection of Bodhisattva." That small bed is as good as a princess's.
The bed is as good as the bed, and there are children's toys. The room is filled with rag dolls, each with a fixed innocent and happy expression on their face. There is also a swinging wooden horse under a high window in one area, but there are no children.
Any trace.
Takeo Yamada kicked the door and touched the bed with experience, "There is still Yu Wen. He hasn't been gone for long, let's chase him!"
Takeo Yamada kept sending people to search around, and searched the entire beachfront of Shanghai. After a month, there was still no trace, so he extended his tentacles to nearby towns, but there was no news.
For many years after that, no one knew where they were.
It has been rumored in the world that priceless wealth has sunk in Shanghai.
