Li Xiang doesn't remember how long it took him not to see the laughter of Narcissus. At this moment, the sunset is infinitely good, but her smile is like a flower. Li wanted to smile slightly, and the light warmth of the clouds and wind appeared. He also wanted to stay with Narcissus for a while, look at her smile more, and say a lot of nonsense, but he had to say goodbye. Go back. It's going to be dark."

The happy smile of the narcissus slowly faded away, and the wind on the riverside blew recklessly, which made a heart slowly become cold. Her lurking days seemed to be tormented, but the rare moment of happy was so short. She wished that she had never experienced the light warmth of Li Xiangyun, and there was less melancholy when she left. There was no need to hope or despair.

Li wanted to see her smile fade, leaving only her cold eyes and inexplicable pity lingering in his heart, but he could only say, "You lurk first. Now it's not the time for you to go out. If there is a task, I will give you instructions. Without instructions, you can't contact me no matter how big the information you hear." Li wanted to put his hands on his thin shoulders, and his eyes seemed to be forced. He said seriously and solemnly, "Your safety is very important, whether for me or for the country."

"I'm tired." Narcissus met Li Xiang's eyes, and his cold eyes revealed a bitter smile. Why would he say that? She is already physically and mentally exhausted, wearing a mask to be a person. When no one has untied it, it seems that the scenery is infinite, and only she can taste the sourness.

Li Xiang's heart has just hardened and softened again. The cold and arrogant daffodil is more resolute than a man. The three words "I'm tired" will not be easily said. Li wanted to sigh secretly. Why didn't he feel tired?

King Solomon said that accumulating knowledge is accumulating sadness. Then Li wants to accumulate historical knowledge after a hundred years is to accumulate a hundred years of sadness. The sadness of the Chinese nation for a hundred years has become an irrespeakable responsibility because of Li Xiang's prophet. It weighs on him and makes him breathless. This responsibility is also the driving force for him to struggle regardless of his efforts.

"Don't forget that you still have an ideal." Li wanted to open his arms and hold her in his arms, comforted her softly and struggled. His tone was also full of fatigue, mixed with a sigh that the narcissus had never heard before.

The narcissus is as gentle as water and snuggles up in his arms. His heart is as warm as before, but now he is also tired.

Yes, Li wants to be tired. Don't think that all those who travel through time can go against the sky and open their golden fingers. Knowing history is an original sin, because it is clear that the tragedy ahead is about to happen. Sometimes he would rather not know history. Behind him is the road he has walked, and in front of him is the unknown future. He can fantasize to his heart's content, think about what he wants, see what he wants to see, and listen to what he wants to hear. He doesn't have to worry about the tragedy of history, because he doesn't know that there will be this historical tragedy at all.

The unknown future makes people afraid and expect, because there is still hope. Li Xiang's usual domineering eyes actually had a slight trace of silence. Narcissus just wanted to complain in front of him, but it provoked him to sigh.

"It is better to die without a slave than to live as a slave. In this world, the fate of women is not as good as that of slaves. For the sake of ideals, I'm not even afraid of death, and I'm still afraid of being tired?" Narcissus interrupted Li Xiang's stuffy thoughts and gently rubbed his cheeks with her temples. She was more willing to see Li Xiang, who was heartless.

Li wanted to look at the weak woman in front of her. She could die for her ideals, and she must have a plan for the worst ending in her heart. And the current history in front of us can only be so bad that it can only go along the history that Li Xiang originally knew.

Narcissus, as before, adhered to its ideals, complained, and continued to pursue it. Li thought that he should not doubt his decision. It was the people of this era who made him believe in the spirit of revolution. He saw with his own eyes that the good man dedicated his youth to the revolution and was willing to reward the country with his life and die with his life. When people are in trouble, the revolutionaries are easy for them. They beg for the people and die generously, just to cast the soul of the new Chinese nation.

Li Xiang, who traveled here, was always moved by the revolutionary trend of the great era, until he was involved in the revolutionary trend. Nietzsche said, never despise what you were moved when you were a teenager, because giving up means your belief and the betrayal and denial of the past.

A trace of depression in Li Xiang's eyes dissipated, and the repeated fluctuations of his mood said that his mind was not strong, and it was also the little goblin who was too charming. Her ability made her get twice the result with half the effort. Li Xiang didn't know whether to have a headache or be happy? Li reluctantly pushed away the fascinating goblin in his arms, "Okay, go back."

At this time, the sunset has been sinking into the West Mountain. In the hazy, the afterglow was printed by the river, and the two sides were covered with blood red. Narcissus reluctantly left his arms and tried to remember the warmth of this moment, which is the most beautiful memory in the cold days in the future.

Li wanted to watch a page of the boat drift away until it was blocked by the reeds on the shore. There was deep loneliness between his eyebrows, and his face muttered, "Everything is floating clouds."

Li wanted to ride a horse and run back to Xiaogan in one breath. He jumped off his horse and rushed into the government office and ordered his subordinates to have a meeting.

He has made a decision to go north to resist the Beiyang army. Yuan Shikai has had a tacit understanding with foreigners, which is a dangerous signal. Taking advantage of the robbery in Hankou, Yuan Shikai will definitely pat his chest and agree. One of the conditions must be to destroy him, Li Xiang. However, Japan has not yet had a tacit understanding with Yuan Shikai. Japan's 21 articles were not handed over to Yuan Shikai, but to Zaifeng, which is worth pondering.

Zeng Gaoren walked into the hall one after another and looked for their own seats to sit down. Li wanted to frown and think hard. He was so anxious that Japan had promised a loan to the Nanjing Provisional Government, and the cooperation with Yuan Shikai was also later. Japan did not choose Yuan Shikai at the beginning, which is consistent with Japan's treatment of China. Japan has always hoped that China will be as chaotic as possible, which is the opposite of the "peace" that Britain and the United States expect. Britain and the United States just want to make money in China, but Japan wants to occupy China's land. If Zaifeng agreed to Japan's 21 articles, what would Yuan Shikai do? Thinking of this, Li Xiang had a smile on the corners of his mouth, which was interesting.

Zeng shouted, "Mshal, everyone has arrived."

Li wanted to take a glance, and everyone sat without squinting. He didn't bother to say the opening remarks and said directly, "Feng Guozhang occupies Wusheng Pass, Yuan Shikai sits in Xinyang, and the Beiyang army is going to be serious. I decided to go north tonight. If you have any comments, please put forward them. If not, please take action immediately.

Li Xiang's last question seemed to be democratic, but his tone was beyond doubt. The three words "I decided" were extremely heavy, showing extreme autocracy.

All the officers present stood up and roared in unison, "I am willing to go through fire and water for the revolution!"

Because of Li Xiang's authoritarianism, this meeting was completed in less than a minute, which is the most efficient in history. Zeng Gao, who hates utocracy, can't be a little disgusted with Li Xiang's utocracy. Li wants to choose to avoid the internal consumption of Hankou and go north to resist Beiyang, which is his most desired choice at present and the most responsible choice for the revolution. But for Li Xiang, he was too wronged, and his subordinates who were born and died together with Li Xiang also felt wronged. If Li doesn't want to go back to Hankou, Hankou will definitely be robbed. They drip blood, but let others pick peaches. No matter who encounters this, it will not feel good.

Li wanted to give up the peach so easily, which made Zeng Gao couldn't believe it. This is still the abacus. Only Li Xiang, who takes advantage and never suffers losses?

Li wanted to change his military uniform. When he put on a large-brimmed hat, he felt a dull pain in the wound on his forehead and took it off and threw it aside. He said to Tang Yuewan, who was helping him sort out his leader, "Electricly ordered Liu Jing to leave the defensive troops and gather in Dawu."

Tang Yue Wanfang went to the telegraph room to send a message. Li Xiang also turned around and walked to the door and asked Zeng Gao, "How is Liu Jing's situation in Xiangyang?"

Zeng Gao and Li Xiang walked side by side and entered the corridor. "Liu Jinggang arrived in Xiangyang and encountered the uprising of Laohe River."

"Laohekou?" Li wanted to ask casually because he didn't know where Laohekou was.

Zeng Gao explained: "Laohekou is a town in Guanghua County, Xiangyang Prefecture. The land is the key, and the business is developed. Hongmen has long been organizing Jianghuhui activities. Ruiqi sent the Eighth Town Cavalry Eighth Standard Third Battalion to defend Xiangyang, and the soldiers Zhang Guoquan and Li Xiu'ang were stationed at Laohekou. The two of them are also from the World Association. Jin Zhaolong is active in the area of Jingshan. The line is far away and they are also connected with them. They are actively connected with the Jianghu Association and the masses.

Li Xiang smiled and nodded. Jin Zhaolong's underground work is an insider, which is worthy of being a person who has always been mixed up.

Turning around the corridor, Zeng Gao continued to say, "A gentleman surnamed Xing in Laohekou held a wedding event, and Huang Renhe and other civil and military officials from Guanghua Zhixian County went to participate. Taking this opportunity, Zhang Guoxun led the people of the Jianghu Association to come and forced the officials to bet anyway. The next day, he attacked Xiangyang, and the gentry opened the city to welcome him. Qing officials Xiangyang Dao Xiyuan and Liu Wenyu, the commander of the patrol battalion, fled one after another. The insurgents pushed Huang Renqi to preside over the Xiangyang Military and Political Branch, Zhang Guoquan as the commander-in-chief, and Li Xiu'ang and others as the co-chief. Then the military and political branch called Li Yuanhong and asked for instructions to take over the ordnance. At the same time, the message was also sent to Hankou. They must not have a penny. They are extremely poor.

"Li Yuanhong is fighting for power and profit in Wuchang. He has the mood and mind to plan a strategy for them, let alone provide them with ordnance." Li wanted to say, thinking that Li Yuanhong was probably poorer than them.

Zeng Gao laughed and said, "Hankou replied to them immediately after receiving it. Liu Jing arrived in Xiangyang the next day and took over the whole city. When Liu Jing arrived, Xiangyang was recruiting soldiers. The poor people who live in difficulties enthusiastically join the army. No matter who they are wrapped in white cloth on their sleeves, they will be taken in.

"The common people can't live. What else can they do besides revolution?" Li wanted to sigh and said, "Even if life is difficult, they can't be taken in all. Soldiers should also ensure their quality. As long as they are exempted from their harsh taxes and the rent reduction is implemented, people's lives will naturally be better.
