Chapter 787 is a last resort
There was a hint of coldness in the night, Li Qing stood up and walked to Zhong Ruoxi's side.
Ji Wenbin snorted loudly, but in such a bleak night, it was not unbearable.
The two men stood quietly at the entrance of the cave, staring at the figure outside that staggered over the rock, trying to escape.
After being silent for a while, Li Qing slowly spoke: "You deliberately let him go?"
"Hmm. Zhong Ruoxi nodded, "What Qin Wuchao said to Inzhalong was arranged by me in advance. I know you can't do it, everyone here is just like you. You can meet each other on the battlefield, but you are not willing to kill a soldier who has no will to resist. ”
Li Qing smiled, and there seemed to be a faint mockery in his tone: "Qin Wuchao listens to you so much now, when did I arrange the next thing, why don't I know at all?"
"When I first found this cave in the afternoon, your men were very clever, and I just mentioned it. Zhong Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief, "If I have a group of such people in my hands, I won't have to worry about anything." ”
Glancing at Li Qing lightly, Zhong Ruoxi said again: "He didn't sleep, you might as well ask him yourself." ”
"I'm afraid few people are really asleep tonight. Li Qing turned his head and glanced at Qin Wuchao, whose eyes that were still round in the dark just now hurriedly closed tightly, pretending to snore.
Pulling the corners of his mouth, Li Qing once again turned his gaze to the back of Inzhalong running outside the cave: "How far do you want him to run?"
"Almost. Zhong Ruoxi said, raised the pistol to aim, and then pulled the trigger.
With a bang, Inzaron, who was fleeing, fell on the spot and did not move. Although the gun was equipped with a silencer, the sound of gunfire was quite noticeable in the silence of the night.
Ji Wenbin, who was sleeping soundly, got up with a stunned look on his face: "What's wrong?"
"Killing a division commander is a first-class merit. Zhong Ruoxi said lightly and unscrewed the silencer.
Li Qing blinked, staring at Zhong Ruoxi's eyes as bright as cold stars in the night: "Does this mean anything?"
"Have you forgotten that our army never shoots prisoners, only passively when threatened. The corners of Zhong Ruoxi's lips turned up slightly, and she re-buckled the pistol back into the pouch.
Li Qing said lightly: "You are still so uncompromising, exactly the same as when you dealt with the old and weak women and children of the Chen family." ”
Zhong Ruoxi stretched out her jade hand and patted Li Qing's chest: "No matter what you say, everyone in the world knows that everyone in the Chen family died in your hands, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
Ji Wenbin stood up suddenly and roared: "What are you talking about!"
"It's none of your business. Zhong Ruoxi walked back, raised her hand and pressed Ji Wenbin's forehead, she used a lot of strength, so that Ji Wenbin sat directly on the ground under the weight of his head.
Li Qing rubbed his temples and said in a deep voice: "Qin Wuchao, don't pretend, hurry up and get out, go out and bury the body." ”
"Good, good. Qin Wuchao hurriedly got up and cautiously slipped out of the cave to dispose of Inzaron's body.
Li Qing took a few steps to the side, leaned against the cave wall, and sighed softly.
Gu Yue, who was beside her, put a jade hand on Li Qing's thigh and said softly: "This is already the best result, will you put the safety of everyone here in danger because of the life or death of a stranger?" ”
Gently covering his hand on Gu Yue's soft and white jade hand, Li Qing nodded and said, "Because of this, I just sighed. War is really a thing that destroys human nature. ”
The silence in the cave returned, and Ji Wenbin, who had no heart or lungs, fell asleep again after a while. When Qin Wuchao came back, it seemed that Li Qing said something, but the latter just waved his hand and signaled him to rest.
Li Qing knew in his heart that Zhong Ruoxi was right. Even if the Qi family used missiles to bomb the Chen family's old and weak women and children to escape from the plane, it was not his intention, and he was even completely unaware of it before the incident, but this blood debt was still counted on Li Qing's head. If there are debtors in the world, there will be debtors. And many debt collectors never know who to pay. Take a look at Ji Wenbin today, isn't that the case?
The heart is very chaotic, there is irritability about the past, and there is also fear of the future. Li Qing didn't close his eyes much all night, and didn't take a nap until the sky was about to dawn.
Shi Yinghui fell asleep all night, and only woke up at six or seven o'clock in the morning. He recovered quickly, and although his face was still pale, he was able to get up and walk around, talk a few words to the others, and make jokes.
Eating the last bit of food, Master Deng spread out the map, and everyone gathered around.
"Yaozhen is here. Deng Shi stretched out his hand and dotted on the map, then slowly slid along the road line on the map, and then suddenly stopped, "The last predetermined location is here." ”
"It's a chain bridge, and the locals call it a chain bridge. Zhong Ruoxi glanced lightly at the position of Deng Shi's finger, then took out a photo from his pocket and pressed it on the map, "Commander of the 59th Army under the Third Army of Xilong, imprisoned in the west." He was an old subordinate of the former commander-in-chief, Alasa, and had a good relationship with Hamai. He will definitely attend this memorial service for the fallen soldiers of the Shillong Army, and he will definitely pass through this chain bridge. ”
Master Deng nodded: "We need to rush to the Chain Bridge in advance to find a suitable ambush site and solve this old thing." ”
"Then..."Deng Shi turned his head to look at Gu Yue, "It's up to you to be brilliant." ”
Gu Yue stared at the fat-headed and big-eared elderly officer in the photo, and was silent for a while before slowly speaking: "He's too fat, I need his face." ”
"There's no problem with that. Zhong Ruoxi bowed his head slightly, "When we shoot, don't shoot heads." ”
Li Qing patted Deng Shi on the shoulder: "Find a short way from the map to the Chain Bridge that is hidden enough." ”
"Good. Master Deng blinked, and said, "It's too dark in the cave, Wen Yang, move the branches blocking the entrance of the cave, and let in some light." ”
Wen Yang answered, walked to the entrance of the cave to move the branches, his eyes swept out quite casually, and his pale cheeks suddenly turned blue.
"Come and see. Wen Yang lowered his voice and shouted, "We seem to be exposed." ”
Li Qing hurriedly walked over and looked out through the gap between the branches blocked at the entrance of the cave, only to see two middle-aged men with backpacks on their backs standing outside at the location of Inzha Long's corpse last night, pointing in the direction of the cave. Beside these two men, there is also a **-year-old girl, wearing dirty clothes, tilting her head, as if she understands what the adults are talking about.
"Damn!" Feng Yucheng was furious, and directly pulled Qin Wuchao up, "Let me ask you, have you cleaned up the bloodstains from last night?"
Qin Wuchao hesitated: "I... I didn't expect it to be so dark last night, and I wondered if this place was so remote, and it would have to rain all night... So... Don't we have to leave early in the morning..."
"Bastard!" Feng Yucheng let go of his hand and gave Qin Wuchao a heel push, causing him to fall to the ground.
The task force has penetrated more than 2,000 miles into the territory of Xillong, and has been sneaking in inaccessible places like the primeval deep forests, at most dealing with the Xillong garrison, and never expected to bump into ordinary citizens in Xillong on the way.
Li Qing's brows furrowed tightly: "This should be a nearby villager, they are very familiar with the terrain here, and when they saw the bloodstains left last night, they should have guessed that there were people in the cave." At this moment, we must be thinking about informing the Shillong military and sending troops to encircle and suppress us. ”
Master Deng nodded: "We have left a lot of traces along the way, and the military has long known that a team has broken into the territory of Xilong, and it is impossible for them to be unprepared." ”
Shi Yinghui said in a deep voice: "Then what are you still doing in a daze? Kill them immediately, and then leave here quickly." ”
"Do you have a problem with your brain!" Wen Yang turned his head and glared at Shi Yinghui angrily, "This is a civilian, not an army, tell me, how to do it?"
If there was a team of Shillong soldiers outside at the moment, naturally there would not be too many worries, and it would be over by directly sending someone out to do it. But Li Qing and the others are now facing ordinary villagers in Xilong who have no power to resist, and this kind of test is much more difficult than that of Inzhalong and others.
"That can't be helped. Zhong Ruoxi said slowly, "We can't spoil the big thing." ”
"But there's still a child..."Li Qing turned around, raised his hand to cover his forehead, and shook his head, "I can't do it." ”
Shi Yinghui's health has improved a lot, and he suddenly rushed up with anger: "Then I'll go!"
As soon as he took a step forward, Feng Yucheng stretched out his hand to stop him: "Do you think this is a question of who is going? No matter who does it today, whether it is stained or not, this crime will be borne by everyone." ”
Li Qing hesitated: "Can you... Tie them up and throw them into the cave..."
Zhong Ruoxi's eyes were crossed: "Li Qing, this is not the time to be kind-hearted and soft-faced, and we can't afford to take the slightest risk in our actions! The operation time is on the 27th, and today is only the 25th, and it will take two days, and if you put a time bomb here, you will be able to rest assured? Our only advantage now is that we are always one step ahead of the Xillong military, and the other party does not know the purpose of our action at all." But as long as they know where we are, they can guess where we're going next, and once a plane is sent to search, absolutely no one will survive!"
"I understand that, it's just..."
Deng Shi patted Li Qing on the shoulder: "Hall Chief Zhong is right, if you really hide these three people, if you can guarantee that no one will be discovered within two days, you can almost guarantee that no one will ever be able to find out." In this way, it is just a change of death for them, and it is not much more merciful than directly killing people. ”
