When I arrived at the compound of the military district, several men in military uniforms reached out and stopped me.

"Do you have a pass?" one of them asked, looking at me a few times.

"Didn't you see me last time?"

He shook his head resolutely, and then said, "I'm sorry, we're doing what we're told, and if you don't have a pass, then we can't let you in." ”

"Really?" I tilted my head.

They took a step back, their rifles raised, and one aimed at my head, "Don't act rashly, your fists can't be faster than our guns." ”

I debunked their careful thoughts, "It was Elder Zhang who gave you instructions to keep me out, right?"

They looked at each other, but neither spoke.

They do what they are told, but whether they answer or not answer is only between their lips and tongues.

I leaned against the door unhurriedly, "You should be able to call Mr. Zhang's side, right?" I don't have a pass, I have Mr. Zhang's page, I should be able to go in directly, you call Mr. Zhang, he will definitely let me in." ”

They didn't speak.

But after a few seconds, one of them walked into the guardhouse.

You can also see what the people inside the door are doing from the outside.

After he took the phone and said a few words to the person on the other end of the phone, his expression was obviously tense.

After hanging up the phone, he came out and said to me, "You wait here for a while, Elder Zhang said that he would send someone to take you in later." ”

I closed my eyes expressionlessly.

Who knows how long they say a moment will be?

Ten minutes later, a car finally drove in from outside.

I thought he would just go over me and drive inside, but what I didn't expect was that the car stopped right in front of me.

The man inside opened the car door and jumped down and stood in front of me.

"You are the Chen Xiao that Elder Zhang said, right? Elder asked me to take you in, you can get in the car. ”

I didn't speak, just glanced at him, then opened the co-pilot's door and sat down.

The elder's residence was not far from the gate, and in a few minutes the car drove to the gate of his compound.

The elders already knew we were coming, so the door to the courtyard was open.

At the moment of getting out of the car, the young man glanced at me as if warning, "I warn you not to come here to find trouble, Elder Zhang's identity and status are something you can't provoke." ”

I ignored him and walked towards the courtyard.

He was obviously on the side of the military region, and even if he knew that I was pushed out as a shield this time, it would probably be a normal thing in his eyes.

When I walked into the courtyard, I saw Zhang Lao playing chess with an old man.

The elder was not surprised, and I didn't even raise my head when I came, so I said casually, "Chen Xiao, you are here." ”

"Don't you have anything to say?" I was a few steps away from Mr. Zhang, but he was not so deaf that he was already deaf, so I wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to hear me.

Zhang Lao's hand holding the black chess piece paused, and then landed on a grid on the right.

He said: "Chen Xiao, I am also forced to do so, this time if the people on our side can really succeed in killing Boss Chen, you will be protected by the people of the military region at that time, and you will not have any accidents." ”

"Huh. I sneered with a bit of sarcasm, "So you're admitting it directly, and the next group of people are assigned by you, right?"

Zhang Lao did not speak.

But his silent gesture was like a big mouth, and he slapped me in the face hard.

It's ridiculous.

I didn't hesitate to take any risks for what they call a so-called mission.

But in their eyes, I was just a shield that could be pushed out anytime and anywhere.

I took a step forward uncontrollably, "What are the lives of a few of us in your eyes?!"

Zhang Lao was silent.

After a while, he said, "Chen Xiao, many things we can't help ourselves, although my status is much higher than most people, but in fact, I have to think about the people of the entire Jiangzhou.

As long as the leaders of their major forces are defeated one by one, all problems can be solved at that time, even if there will be a riot in Jiangzhou at that time, our side can also press it down as quickly as possible.

And we will provide you with protection in the future, you will not be persecuted in any way, what's wrong with the best of both worlds?"

"Ha, Elder Zhang, this is what the military region and yourself believe in, right?"

I unceremoniously debunked what Mr. Zhang said.

"How long will it take for you to suppress the riots, you don't even have a number in your own mind, do you?

Besides, if the people of your military region are really determined to defeat the people of several major forces one by one, then why don't you just use the identity of the military region, but push me out as a shield?

You will provide me with protection when you hear it, but when the underground forces in the entire Jiangzhou really riot and want to seek revenge against me, can you really protect me?

In the final analysis, you just want to find someone who can really bear these crimes without being suspected, and you are afraid that when the underground forces of the entire Jiangzhou will unite, you will not be able to really suppress it.

I'm also worried that the people you want to protect will be harmed at that time, so for you, I, the wolf's tooth, the tiger's claw, and the lone eagle's life can be sacrificed at any time, right?!"

My word-by-word accusation seemed to make Mr. Zhang feel guilty.

He stopped holding the black chess pieces in his hand.

At this moment, the person standing next to me suddenly reached out and grabbed me by the collar, and suddenly pulled me forward.

He said with a cold gaze, "What are you that you dare to talk to Zhang Lao in such a tone?"

I clenched his fist with my right hand, and my voice seemed to be immersed in countless ice cubes, "Where do you think you have the qualifications to stop me?"

My right hand tightened, and a few drops of cold sweat gradually fell from his forehead.

He quickly withdrew his hand in pain, but the ferocity in his eyes did not decrease by half, but looked at me with a little resentment, "If you dare to do it here, it will be a dead end!"

"A dead end?" I sneered, "If Boss Chen really dies, then I will be killed on the highway by that group of riotous men, and my death will be worse than now, Elder Zhang, don't you know?"

Zhang Lao sighed heavily.

He stood up and walked over to me.

Just as he reached out to pat me on the shoulder, I reluctantly took a step back.
