493, Hostages and Railways
It was September, and the night of Fortress 178 was already a little cold, at this time, the residents who worked outside began to return home one after another with generous subsidies, because of the good pay for working outside the barrier, many residents were working outside for half a year and then returning home to rest, and the whole winter was idle.
Of course, it is also because the winters in the northwest are exceptionally cold.
Many residents are still outside their factories, and by the end of October, the roads will be blocked by snow and ice.
At that time, only the soldiers of the border post of Fortress 178 were left, who were to guard there all winter, with little entertainment and even to stand guard.
There were people who taught themselves crafts, melodica, accordions, and many strange skills.
It's not that they're studious, it's because they're lonely, and that's just their way of relieving their loneliness in those border posts.
In the evening, six off-road vehicles came from the southwest, piercing the 178 fortress like a sharp arrow.
When they were close to 170 kilometers, they were suddenly stopped by the patrol force, and the voice of the patrol force of the 178 fortress came from the car intercom: "Enter the radio control area, please turn off your radio, pull over, and be checked." ”
Luo Lanle in the car laughed and said: "Then pull over, the defense system of the 178 fortress has always been relatively rigorous, which is incomparable to our Qing clan, after all, their mission is to defend against foreign enemies." ”
All six off-road vehicles turned off their intercoms, and then slowly stopped on the road, next to three combat teams climbed up from the wilderness, fully armed, and approached.
Luo Lan got out of the car first and raised his hands high, only to see that he was wearing sunglasses on his face, looking like a gangster engaged in smuggling: "Friend, I am Luo Lan of the Qing family, and I have already communicated with you Commander Zhang on this trip!"
The warrior of the 178 fortress said calmly: "You wait, I need to report this matter to the general staff. ”
While speaking, the muzzles of the soldiers were always aimed at Luo Lan, but Luo Lan did not panic at all.
Zhou Qi next to him pouted and said: "How can you be like a thief, hurry up and solve the matter here, we still have to go to the Central Plains quickly, the situation over there has become turbulent." ”
"Don't be in a hurry, don't worry," Luo Lan looked at the muzzle of the black hole beside him and said with a smile: "Why don't you have the consciousness of being a subordinate at all, when you are a subordinate, you must understand that the matter of the Lord of the Qing Clan is the most urgent." ”
Zhou Qi lifted his gold-rimmed glasses: "I do things with money, not subordinates." ”
"Haha, that's not something we should think about," Luo Lan laughed.
The soldiers of the 178 fortress looked at this fat man with an unchanging face and a heartbeat, and they also admired it a little in their hearts, he was a man.
Suddenly, the company commander of the company behind had already contacted the staff headquarters, determined the legitimate identity of Luo Lan and the others near the 178 fortress, and agreed to let them go.
However, all firearms need to be collected and transferred to patrol vehicles before they can be released.
The convoy arrived at the 178 fortress at night, Zhang Jinglin did not come out to receive Luo Lan, it was Xu Xianchu who came to receive them.
Luo Lan looked at Xu Xianchu with a smile, he affectionately hugged the other party's shoulders and praised: "Brother Xiao Xu is really young and promising, he was wronged in my private army of the Qing clan fortress before, how about it, come with us to the southwest, it will definitely be fragrant and spicy, and the glory and wealth will be endless." ”
Xu Xianchu politely refused: "Don't dream." ”
Luo Lan didn't think it was wrong, he still said with a smile: "This northwest is cold to death in winter, and the walls are not prosperous enough, how can we have fun in the south, when you go to the southwest, I will find you a ten-room concubine here!"
Zhou Qi sighed beside him: "Luo Fatzi, you really look like the villain in the story now." ”
Luo Lan was unhappy: "Although I kill people and set fires, I am a good person." ”
"Phew," Zhou Qi and Xu Xianchu spat at the same time.
"Okay, let's not talk about anything else, let's get down to business," Luo Lan said to Xu Xianchu: "Hurry up and find a place to exchange documents, so we can leave with the documents." ”
Xu Xianchu took Luo Lan and them towards a remote and quiet street, Xu Xianchu said: "Today's matter, Commander Zhang is alone with me, so you don't have to worry about leaking secrets, and now the 178 fortress does not dare to compare with others, and the number of spies of other forces must be the least in the world." ”
"Okay, don't blow it, I know what you're capable of," Luo Lanle said with a smile.
At this time, Xu Xianchu asked, "What about the hostage you brought, is it the man with glasses next to you?"
Zhou Qi was unhappy: "I have a name and a surname, what is a man with glasses." ”
As a result, at this time, Luo Lan beckoned to a soldier behind him, and Xu Xianchu was stunned for a moment: "He is the hostage given to me by the Qing clan to the 178 fortress? ”
The soldier took off his hat and saw a green silk scattered behind his back like a waterfall.
Luo Lan smiled: "This is the girl that the lord of the Qing clan likes, is it enough?"
Xu Xianchu frowned and looked behind him, but saw a middle-aged soldier come out: "Enough." ”
Luo Lan was happy: "You are Wang Fengyuan, you have admired the name for a long time!"
Xu Xianchu stopped talking, since Wang Fengyuan said enough, it must be enough.
Wang Fengyuan didn't answer: "You sent her here, aren't you afraid that we will counteract the Qing clan in the future?"
"Don't worry, my Qing clan doesn't have the idea of unifying the world, I hope you and I will never be able to fight with swords!"
After speaking, Luo Lan turned around and left, and Zhou Qi chased after him and said curiously: "Let's go now?" Why didn't I know that Qing Zhen liked such a girl?"
Luo Lan said to herself: "This girl is a singing girl in the 111 barrier, she is a 'horn', the presidium wanted to find Qing Jin's weakness, but it turned out that Qing Zhen never listened to the opera in the same theater garden, and it was fate to listen to any girl. ”
"But what the presidium did not do was that they didn't know which one Qing Zhen liked, so they would seal all the drama gardens, arrest all the girls, and catch them all, at that time Qing Zhen understood that even if he changed the opera garden a day, it was useless, in fact, when he stepped on this stage, the opponent would be fierce beyond imagination, and the opponent he would face in the future must be more fierce than before. ”
Zhou Qi sighed and said, "So Qing Zhen sent her as a hostage? ”
"Hehe, this Zhang Jinglin is a rare upright gentleman in the world, and it is safest to be sent here as a hostage," Luo Lan grinned and said: "Our Qing clan, it will not be safe soon, and it is impossible for Qing Zhen to be distracted and protect her anymore." ”
"But Fortress 178 didn't send us hostages, why should we give them hostages?" Zhou Qi wondered.
Luo Lan said loudly: "Of course, it's for the railway." ”
Previously, the Qing clan wanted to connect the railway and open up the Central Plains Road with the 178 Fortress, but was rejected by Zhang Jinglin.
After two long months of negotiations, the two sides finally reached a consensus on this point, and the Qing clan paid a huge price, but Qing Jin thought it was worth the money and offered to send a hostage.
But in fact, Luo Lan understands that this is a hostage, but in fact, it is put in the 178 fortress, let the 178 fortress protect this girl, as long as the Qing family does not declare war on the 178 fortress for a day, the 178 fortress will be the safest shelter for this girl.
Zhou Qi smashed his mouth: "This girl is not ordinary, she is still calm after being sent as a hostage." ”
"After all, it's the girl my brother likes, and it's definitely not ordinary. ”

Ahem, while you can't spray me on the last day, two more......
