He Xiaotong and I stared at each other in silence. The surroundings became extremely quiet, as if time itself had frozen over.

A middle-aged man beside He Xiaotong suddenly laughed out loud: Hahaha, I never expected that in the end, I, Lu Liangshan will die in the hands of you bunch of nameless scoundrels … Little kid, hurry up and run. Leave this to me.

I looked at the man. He looked to be in his forties, in his fifties, but his body still looked fit and strong. His laughter was both wild and sad.

I stared at him. Are you the rebel leader, Lu Liangshan?

When my soldiers heard this, they were all overjoyed. They clearly thought that they were going to make a meritorious service.

Lu Liangshan sneered: "Hmm, leader of the rebel army?" The real leader of the rebel army is your General Han Xifei.

What the hell are you talking about? Do you still want to slander others before your death?

Lu Liangshan then sneered: The group of idiots were still in the dark, Long Dan was indeed the mayor, but the mayor was poisoned to death by Han Xifei, he would take the winter vacation and give it to Secretary He. If this happens, all three of our Luo City will be gone, and I think that after a while, Luo City will belong to her, Han Xifei.

How could General Han Xifei do such a thing? I said to him, there is solid evidence, and if there is none, we should talk using swords.

Seeing that I was about to take action, Lu Liangshan said to He Xiaotong: "Little Tong, quickly leave, I'll leave this place to your Uncle Ma."

He Xiaotong looked at me, then looked at Lu Liangshan, his eyes still filled with tears: But, uncle …

Lu Liangshan patted her head and said: There's nothing to worry about, just remember to take revenge for your father and the rest of us Old Man's sons in the future.

I immediately roared at He Xiaotong: He Xiaotong, don't be fooled by this old fellow.

He Xiaotong turned her head to look at me. She screamed at me through her tears: Are you really going to force all of us to our deaths? What do you want from me?

I stared at her blankly. She went and continued to yell at me, "My mother is dead, and my father is dead." They want to kill us all! Can't you see? Do you think they can keep me alive if I go back?

I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what had happened.

At this time, Lu Liangshan pushed He Xiaotong away and shouted at her: "Little boy, run! We must avenge us in the future!

He Xiaotong wiped her tears away and ran up the mountain. I wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Lu Liangshan.

Lu Liangshan asked: "Little General, report your name, I won't kill nameless people."

I glared at him and said, My name is Yang Xiao, if you don't want to die, then get out of my way!

Lu Liangshan was startled at first, but the expression on his face quickly recovered. Then, he said with a smile: "I've heard of you." You're quite a character. He's worthy to be my opponent.

I raised my sword and charged at him, and he raised his machete to meet me.

He slashed at my neck.

I aimed at his machete and swung my sword. His machete was cut off by my sword.

He was shocked and quickly stepped back in fear.

I kicked him in the stomach and he fell to the ground.

I immediately chased after He Xiaotong.

Lu Liang Shan stood up and wanted to stop me, but he was stopped by my men. The two sides immediately started fighting.

I quickly chased after He Xiaotong.

He Xiaotong kept on running forward. Although the distance between us was shortening, I was unable to catch up to her. I almost tripped over the tree branch beneath my feet.

She rushed into a dense forest. Little by little, I closed the distance between us.

Finally, when I was close enough, I threw myself at her and pinned her to the ground.

She struggled and beat me.

I reached out and grabbed both her arms, and she slowly calmed down, but the tears in her eyes couldn't stop.

She stared at me, her eyes full of grief, and I said to her, If you want to kill me, then kill me.

When I heard her words, I was stunned. You didn't do anything wrong in this war, I said. Come back with me, General Han Xifei won't hurt you.

She smiled desolately, but the tears in her eyes continued to flow. She only heard her say: Then what is wrong with my mother? She is dead. My father is also wronged. He is also dead.

What she said was not wrong. Her mother did not commit any sins, but she died at the hands of the angry soldiers.

I saw that he was getting more and more agitated, so I hurriedly told him: The matters in the city are indeed too intense, you can go to our army camp first, General Han Xifei will protect you.

is the one who started all of this, in order to obtain control of Luo City, she harmed my father, the mayor, Lu Liangshan, and now she wants to kill all of us, why are you still giving me to him?

I can't believe that even He Xiaotong thinks the same.

He Xiaotong took me and threw me onto the ground. She continued to shed tears and said, "She won't let me go. She wants to kill everyone who knows the truth." Just watch and see, the Luo City would soon become hers.

I stared at her for a moment, then let go. Meng Xiaotong slowly stood up.

In my heart, I was thinking, how could General Han Xifei do such a thing? There must have been some misunderstanding.

While I was hesitating, my little classmate stood up and she slowly retreated, as if she was about to escape again.

I reach out a hand to stop her

She took a pistol out of her pocket and pointed it at me. Because this gun was given to her a few days ago.

Her face was covered in tears, and her eyes were even more desolate.

He only heard her say to me: Brother Yang Xiao, I'm sorry, I can't go back with you, don't force me!

She started to step back step by step, snatching but still pointing at me.

I was about to reach out to stop her, but she closed her eyes and fired.

With a bang, I felt my left arm go numb. He found that there was already a bullet hole oozing blood on his shoulder.

My outstretched hand stopped in mid-air as I looked at her in disbelief.

So this was the feeling of being hit by a gun.

Don't force me, I'm begging you! He Xiaotong said and started crying loudly.

I watched her grieve, and then I slowly lowered my outstretched hand.

She stepped back, her tearful eyes still on me, as if she was worried about my wound, or as if she were saying goodbye.

I watched her recede. Finally, he disappeared into the night.

I looked in the direction she disappeared in, confused.

Had the world really changed?
