Chapter 564 [Old 9 Gate 43 Completed]
After returning to Changsha City, Qiu Dekao and Tanaka Yoshiko were trapped in the mine and could no longer come out to cause trouble. Changsha City finally returned to its former tranquility.
The Nine Sects also became more united, and the relationship between them became closer.
However, this peace did not last long. The Japanese began to launch frenzied attacks across the country, and Changsha was about to fall into the flames of war.
As the defense officer of Changsha, Zhang Qishan knew that he had the responsibility to defend the city, so he decided to stick to it. But he had different ideas about Youyou. He didn't want her to stay in this dangerous place, and hoped that she could go abroad to seek refuge, away from the threat of war. Because he knew that staying here might mean death.
After hearing what Zhang Qishan said, Youyou's eyes flashed with determination: "I won't leave! We are a couple and should share the joys and sorrows. I am willing to face this war with you."
Zhang Qishan held Youyou's hand tightly, his heart filled with emotion, but he still insisted: "But it's too dangerous here, I can't let you take risks."
Youyou smiled slightly, with deep affection in her eyes: "No matter life or death, I will be with you."
Zhang Qishan stared at Youyou deeply. He knew he couldn't convince her to leave. Their love was so deep that it had already transcended life and death. So he nodded, hugged Youyou in his arms, and said softly, "Okay, then let's protect this city together."
Youyou snuggled in Zhang Qishan's arms, feeling his warm body temperature, her heart full of expectations for the future. Although there were many difficulties ahead, as long as the two worked hand in hand, nothing could stop them from moving forward.
After that, Zhang Qishan, Youyou and the people from Jiumen sat around the card table again and played mahjong leisurely.
Zhang Qishan looked at everyone and said slowly: "Perhaps, this will be the last time we gather here. I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity in the future. Everyone, have you thought about where to go?"
Huo Jinxi responded with a smile: "Our Huo family has decided to move to Peking, and Master Jiu will go with me."
Qi Tiezui coughed lightly and said, "I plan to go abroad to avoid the limelight for a while."
Er Yuehong nodded slightly and said, "I will also go to Beiping."
Chen Pi continued, "Yueyue and I will go to Beiping together, and Miss Yin will happen to be there too."
Wu Laogou patted the dogs beside him and said, "I will also leave here with my babies in the next few days."
Blackback Laoliu was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "I probably won't stay in Changsha."
Banjie Li sighed and said, "My broken body would be a burden if I stayed here. I am also going to Peking."
"Okay, now that everyone has a home, I wish you all a bright future. If you have the opportunity to return to Changsha, remember to burn some paper money for me." Zhang Qishan said jokingly.
"Youyou, are you going to Beiping with your brother?" Mr. Jie Jiu looked at his sister with concern and worry in his eyes. He knew that this decision might put them at great risk, but he also hoped to protect his family.
Youyou smiled and shook her head, and replied gently: "Brother, I won't go. I want to stay in Changsha and accompany my husband." Her eyes were firm and affectionate, as if she was ready for everything.
Master Jie Jiu frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Even if you die in the end, will you stay?" He knew what this choice meant, but he still wanted to confirm his sister's determination.
Youyou raised her head, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and she said solemnly: "Yes, I don't ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but I ask to die on the same day of the same month of the same year." Her voice was not loud, but it was filled with incomparable firmness and persistence.
Jiuye Jie was silent for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay." He understood his sister's decision and respected her choice. Although he felt reluctant and worried, he knew that this was the spirit of their family.
Youyou smiled slightly, walked to Master Jie Jiu, gently hugged his arm, and said softly: "Brother, don't worry, we will be fine." Master Jie Jiu patted Youyou's hand, nodded silently, and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that they would really be safe.
Changsha was no longer peaceful at this time. The war was raging and the people were fleeing everywhere to avoid the catastrophe of the war. The people of the Nine Gates could only evacuate temporarily and wait for the chance to meet again in the future. All good things must come to an end, and Zhang Qishan did not stop them from leaving.
Zhang Qishan walked alone in the desolate city of Changsha, while Youyou followed silently behind him. Many memories came to Zhang Qishan's mind. He remembered himself when he fled south, his deceased father, and the scene of his first meeting with the people of Jiumen. These past events kept playing in his mind like a movie, clear and profound. However, today, Changsha, which was once full of laughter and joy, has become unrecognizable because of the invasion of the Japanese.
Zhang Qishan stood quietly on the street, staring into the distance. He was in a heavy mood, with many thoughts in his mind. He knew that the fate of this city had changed, but he was determined to protect the people here and prevent them from being hurt. He firmly believed that as long as he had faith, he would find hope.
The Japanese army finally broke through the city gate and poured into the city like a tide. Faced with the situation of being outnumbered and outnumbered, Zhang Qishan and his brothers did not hesitate to throw themselves into the fierce battle. They brandished their weapons and fought desperately with the enemy, but the Japanese army was large in number and strong in combat effectiveness, and they were gradually suppressed.
Seeing the critical situation, Zhang Qishan decisively detonated the bomb he had ambushed in advance, instantly blowing up many Japanese invaders. But the Japanese army did not stop, they continued to attack frantically, and new Japanese troops continued to pour into Changsha City. At this time, Zhang Qishan was left with only a few personal soldiers. They were all exhausted, but they still stood firm at their posts, determined to live and die with Changsha.
At this critical moment, the members of the Nine Gates suddenly appeared. It turned out that they did not leave Changsha, but stayed quietly, ready to help Zhang Qishan resist the Japanese army. These former opponents have now become comrades-in-arms. They are united and fight against foreign enemies together. Everyone plays their own strengths and attacks the Japanese army in various ways. For a time, the Japanese army fell into chaos.
With the joint efforts of everyone, the Japanese offensive gradually weakened and was eventually forced to retreat. Zhang Qishan and his brothers successfully defended Changsha City and their homes. This battle made them realize that no matter how great the difficulties were, as long as they were united, they would be able to defeat the enemy. And this joint effort of the Nine Gates has also become a legendary story in Changsha City, which has been passed down through the ages.
Later, Zhang Qishan resigned from his post as the governor of the Nine Gates and started his retirement life with Youyou. They also gave birth to a daughter, named Zhang Huilan. Everyone says that a daughter is a caring little cotton-padded jacket, but Zhang Qishan thinks that his daughter is a leaky cotton-padded jacket that always goes against him.
Once, Zhang Huilan sneaked into Zhang Qishan's study and damaged his precious ancient books. Another time, she took advantage of Zhang Qishan's inattention and drew a little turtle on his face with a paintbrush, making him look bad in front of everyone. Zhang Qishan was so angry that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In desperation, he directly threw his daughter to Yin Xinyue.
Yin Xinyue was also troubled by this naughty niece, but she still took care of her wholeheartedly. Huo Jinxi and Jie Jiuye occasionally helped take care of Zhang Qishan's child Zhang Huilan, but it didn't work after a long time. Zhang Huilan was too jumpy and they couldn't control her at all.
At the same time, Lin Yueyue and Chen Pi gave birth to a boy named Chen Xiaoyu. Chen Pi had always wanted a girl, but unfortunately Lin Yueyue had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to Chen Xiaoyu, and Chen Pi didn't want Lin Yueyue to have another child. Chen Xiaoyu was fair and cute, and had a gentle personality. He often stuck to Zhang Huilan to play.
However, Zhang Huilan always bullied Chen Xiaoyu by taking advantage of this. She would snatch Chen Xiaoyu's toys and deliberately make him cry. When the adults saw this, they would persuade Zhang Huilan not to do this, but she would not listen at all and instead became even worse. Although Chen Xiaoyu felt wronged, he did not seem to hate Zhang Huilan and was always willing to play with her.
In this way, the two children grew up slowly while playing and fighting. Zhang Qishan looked at them with deep emotion in his heart. Although the children sometimes annoyed him, their innocence and carefreeness also brought him endless joy.
When Yin Xinyue first met Zhang Rishan, she was attracted by his appearance. She began to frequently contact Zhang Rishan and gradually understood his gentleness and kindness. Although Zhang Rishan did not have any special feelings for Yin Xinyue at first, as time went by, he gradually found that he was also moved by this enthusiastic and sincere girl.
However, just when their relationship was gradually heating up, Zhang Rishan suddenly decided to leave Yin Xinyue. This made Yin Xinyue feel very lost and sad. She didn't understand why Zhang Rishan did this. So she began to actively pursue Zhang Rishan and tried to express her love in various ways.
But Zhang Rishan always kept his distance, he felt that he could not accept this relationship. Because he knew that he had too many responsibilities and secrets, he did not want Yin Xinyue to be involved. So, he chose to reject Yin Xinyue's love, hoping that she could find a better person.
However, Yin Xinyue did not give up, she continued to silently pay attention to Zhang Rishan, and even helped him solve some troubles. Zhang Rishan finally realized that his feelings for Yin Xinyue could not be separated, so he began to launch a "chasing wife crematorium" action.
Finally, the two came together after going through all kinds of twists and turns. They loved each other, supported each other, and faced the difficulties and challenges in life together. Although they did not have children, they treated Zhang Huilan as their own and gave her endless love and care.
Er Yuehong has been single all his life, and Qi Tiezui is also a lonely man.
