Chapter Seventy-Two: Covert Support
chatted with Lu Yun for a long time, but before he realized that it was already afternoon, Wang Baoshan did not forget to encourage him after a while of embarrassment, so he said goodbye to him and took Liu Qing to the commander's mansion behind the Zhongjun Hall.
This commander's mansion is a residence specially built for Wang Qiang, and it is not far away, bypassing the lobby of the Chinese army. It is also an exaggeration to say that it is a reinor's mansion, because it is just a few relatively large stone chambers.
"Yo...... Big brother is here, why didn't he come in earlier?" In the stone room of the Commander's Mansion, Wang Qiang sat at the stone table, rubbing his forehead with his hands, looking a little sleepy, obviously not resting well, seeing Wang Baoshan's arrival, he hurriedly said.
"I thought you were resting, so I didn't bother you. Wang Baoshan smiled, went to the stone table by himself, and sat on the stone bench.
Liu Qing on the side hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the clay pot and clay bowl on the stone table, and poured a bowl of tea for Wang Qiang and Wang Baoshan respectively.
Wang Qiang nodded at Liu Qing, and said to Wang Baoshan: "It's better to come early, it's not as good as coming, it's not early now, big brother, why don't we have dinner and chat?"
"Don't you say it, I almost forgot, I haven't eaten all day today......!
"So, it's just right..."Wang Qiang listened and nodded. Then, towards the outside of the stone room, he shouted a few times: "Lu Yun... Lu Yun..."
After a while, the little soldier Lu Yun ran in, first forcibly gave the king a military salute, and said, "Commander, what do you command?"
"Well, you go to the room to say hello, and immediately send a table of food. Wang Qiang hit Hatche and waved his hand at Lu Yun, meaning to let him go quickly.
After Lu Yun left, Wang Qiang looked at his back, then looked at Liu Qing on the side, shook his head, and muttered to himself: "It seems that the soldiers of the Zhongjuntang really need to improve their eyesight!"
When Wang Baoshan heard this, he was a little speechless, and he also attached a little importance to Lu Yun in his heart, and deliberately defended him: "Second brother, I'm afraid it's the fault of him, when I came just now, I saw him sweeping the floor in front of the Zhongjun Hall alone, and chatted with him a few words, delaying his business, maybe he was a little tired of sweeping the floor." ”
"Big brother, you will think about others, no wonder Brother Liu Qing is so good to you!" Wang Qiang finished speaking, and glanced at Liu Qing.
Liu Qing listened to Wang Qiang's words, praised him, and said with a smile: "Commander, this is also our General Wang's good to me, so I will do my best." ”
"Well, not bad... Not bad..."After Wang Qiang heard this, he nodded.
But when Wang Baoshan heard this, he felt awkward and smiled. He didn't like to be praised, so in order to avoid embarrassment, he said: "Second brother, I didn't attend the morning meeting because of something, I don't know what was said at the morning meeting?"
"It's nothing, it's just that four or five thousand people came at once, so I gathered my brothers and held a meeting to discuss the personnel transfer. But the results are not yet out... It will take a few more days to negotiate. ”
"That's too, it's hard to arrange so many people at once. ”
"It's nothing, it's just Li Jin's business, it's a bit of a headache!" Wang Qiang took a sip of tea, his face sorrowful.
"What's wrong with General Li?" Wang Baoshan was also surprised when he heard this.
"You also saw Li Jin's performance yesterday, which is really worrying! Moreover, he did not come to the meeting today, I sent someone to inquire, only to learn that he had taken a group of soldiers and brothers out of the mountain, saying that he was going to rob the grain and grass and show us..."
"This ......" After Wang Baoshan heard this, his face did not feel worried.
This Li Jin is really not worry-free, it shows the suspiciousness, he is still bent on going his own way, what a gangster who does not change!
Although the soldiers of the entire Black Wind Army, with the unremitting efforts of Wang Qiang and others for more than three months, have changed some of their previous banditry, they can finally achieve a little military order and barely listen to the tune. But it can't be eradicated, and it's no wonder that the swordsman Li Jin will behave proudly, and even now he is acting arbitrarily.
"No matter what the others do, but after all, it's still the left general of my Black Wind Army, I don't know what the eldest brother thinks?" Wang Qiang rubbed his forehead again, showing a little helplessness.
"General Li is also thinking about everyone, no matter whether the news is true or not, you can't just watch it... What do you think the second brother should do?"
"This is also the reason why I asked my eldest brother to come over, I want you to take your brothers and follow him and act when the opportunity arises. If the news is true, the eldest brother doesn't have to come forward, so he asked General Li to rob the grain and grass and give him some face... If things change, big brother, you can also come forward to help in times of crisis..."After Wang Qiang finished speaking, he looked at Wang Baoshan expectantly.
"This ......" Wang Baoshan listened to it, and also knew the powerful relationship, so he didn't agree for a while, and seemed to be a little hesitant.
"Big brother, it's not that you don't want to go!" Wang Qiang finished speaking, with a little doubt.
"No, my brothers in the camp have just come back and are tired, so they have some concerns... But when it comes to General Li's safety, they can't sit idly by, it's just..."
Wang Baoshan wanted to agree, but suddenly remembered that Jin Ling'er had told him before that he would summon that little soldier Lu Yun would come to his side no matter what. So, he deliberately wanted to take this opportunity to take Lu Yun away from the Zhongjun Hall.
"Just what? Big brother, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”
"I'd like to take a few people with me......"
Just as Wang Baoshan and the two were talking, Lu Yun carried a large bamboo basket and walked into the stone room.
The bamboo basket contained all kinds of side dishes, five or six plates, and a large clay pot of rice, plus a can of broth.
Seeing that the food was coming, Wang Qiang didn't say more, and hurriedly beckoned Wang Baoshan to eat. Liu Qing also ate with him, but after Lu Yun set up the meal, when he was about to leave, he was stopped by Wang Baoshan and asked him to eat together, which made Lu Yun also surprised for a while.
In the middle of the meal, Wang Qiang chatted with Wang Baoshan about some details, told him to pay attention to safety, and asked some more about the process of going to Bishan.
Wang Baoshan also answered one by one, what huge earthen wall suddenly collapsed, what thousands of mine slaves killed the overseers in anger, and what took advantage of the night to attack...... Wait, I talked about this rescue operation roughly, of course, he didn't say a word about Jin Ling'er.
Wang Qiang and Lu Yun at the dinner table were shocked. In the end, they are all young people, and they are all interested in those touching and heart-pounding things.
After all, Wang Qiang passed by himself, and he behaved quite well, but Lu Yun didn't go with him because of his young grade, and he didn't go through any big scenes. Therefore, he listened to it from the sidelines, and he couldn't help but be a little fascinated.
In this way, under Wang Baoshan's intermittent narration, it was time to finish this simple light meal.
"Lu Yun, you will follow General Wang in the future!"
At this moment, Lu Yun was immersed in Wang Baoshan's narration, and he hadn't come back to his senses, and Wang Qiang's words made him even more puzzled and surprised.
Wang Baoshan didn't plan to explain, but said: "Without further ado, Brother Lu, you hurry up and clean up, and when you wait for Ha, you will come to my barracks to report, remember to be fast, we still have action tonight." ”
After speaking, he took Liu Qing with him, said goodbye to Wang Qiang, and ignored Lu Yun, who was still in a daze, and rushed straight to where his military camp was.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when he arrived at the barracks, seeing that the soldiers had not rested, Wang Baoshan said a few words to Liu Qing, and then returned to his stone room.
"Alas......"
After a day of running, Wang Baoshan didn't feel much sleepy now, he looked at the black scale armor on his right wrist and sighed.
In order not to be suspicious of others, he tore a strip of cloth from his clothes, wrapped it around his wrist, and covered it up. At this time, he stole a little free time and watched carefully for a long time, Wang Baoshan was also unable to end, and with the words of Jin Ling'er and Miss Mochizuki, where could he be calm.
"General, the brethren are ready!"
After a while, outside the stone room, Liu Qing's voice rang out.
"Then little brother Lu Yun, are you here?"
"It's not there yet. ”
"Well, wait a little longer, and we'll go together when he arrives. ”
"Yes......" Liu Qing said yes and left.
But it didn't take long for Liu Qing to come over again and say, "General, Lu Yun has arrived and is waiting outside." ”
"Okay, wait for me a while. When Wang Baoshan heard this, he didn't think much about it anymore, and hurriedly cleaned up, except for the stone room.
After coming out, he saw that the soldiers in the camp, under the leadership of Liu Qing, were all standing in the open space in the barracks. Although they had just returned less than a day ago, they had to go out to run errands, but there was no displeasure on everyone's faces. Obviously, they are all accustomed to the feeling of going out at any time, and the nervous emotions at the beginning are no longer visible on their faces, and at this time, they are more confident and calm.
"It seems that a few actions have made them change a lot!" Wang Baoshan looked at these brothers who experienced life and death with him, and he was really relieved.
"Brother Lu, don't be too restrained, this will not be your home in the future, we are all your family. Liu Qing, who was standing in front of the team, saw Wang Baoshan looking at them and smiling, glanced at Lu Yun, who was a head shorter than him, and whispered to him.
"Hmm......" Lu Yun was still a little ignorant, and it seemed that he had not recovered from his previous surprise.
Wang Baoshan looked at Lu Yun, nodded at him, and then said to the soldiers, "It's not early, let's leave now." ”
At this moment, the bright moon is in the sky, and the night is still very cool.
Most of the people on the Black Wind Ridge, except for the soldiers who were on vigil, had fallen asleep. Wang Baoshan led the soldiers in the battalion to march all the way at night, hurrying slowly, and finally arrived at a mountain pass on the east side of Heifeng Ridge before dawn.
On the edge of the mountain pass, there were two people waiting there, it was Yang Zhuoyi and Luo Ying.
When they arrived, the two sides met and saluted each other.
Yang Zhuoyi and Luo Ying, after giving Wang Baoshan a military salute, he said: "After crossing the mountain pass, you will go out of Heifengling, General Li and them, it is estimated that they can go to the Yellow River in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow." ”
Wang Baoshan looked around and said with a smile: "Well, this time there must be two generals Lao."
"Brother Wang, where is it, staying in the village every day, and I am also bored, so I might as well go out for a walk. ”
"Yes, Brother Yang, that's what I said, as soon as my father came to the village, he was dragged by Wu Lao from the room to drink wine for a night, and when he came back, he scolded me, and I just happened to come out to relax......"
After Luo Ying finished speaking, his face was a little aggrieved, and after speaking, he pulled Wang Baoshan to the side.
Wang Baoshan was also surprised by him like this, and when he heard him say this, he immediately knew the reason: why Luo Orion is like this, most likely because of Luo Ying's relationship with Wu Meimei.
I don't know what Wu Lao and Luo Orion said? Could it be that they deliberately beat the mandarin ducks and broke up the two of them?
Through contact with Luo Orion and Wu Lao, Wang Baoshan was a little puzzled. He felt that Luo Orion, who was used to living in the mountains and wilderness, should not care about Wu Meimei's age.
Maybe it was Wu Lao, the old man who had always intended to let him get close to Wu Meimei, but he didn't know what to say to Luo Ying's father, and he actually asked Luo Orion to scold his son.
Obviously, these troublesome things made Wang Baoshan speechless when he thought about it, and he felt that he should also find an opportunity to explain it to Wu Lao!
Thinking of this, he comforted Luo Ying helplessly, and said some words of encouragement, so that this young man would not be discouraged by this anymore.
He and Luo Ying suddenly skimmed over everyone and recounted on the side, and the others really didn't know why. But seeing Luo Ying, who had been sullen, he swept away his sorrow at this time, and seemed to be a lot happier, although everyone was still puzzled, but they were also happy.
"Brother Luo, what the hell is going on? You weren't happy all night, I asked, and you didn't say anything, how would you tell Brother Wang. ”
Yang Zhuoyi looked at their private chat, and he was also puzzled.
"It's nothing, it's just that I was scolded by his father, and I felt uncomfortable, so I persuaded ......"
Wang Baoshan smiled and didn't say anything else.
"Hehe, that's good, it's not too early, we have to hurry over, find another place to repair, and eat some dry food. ”
"Chirp ......"
At this moment, an abrupt eagle chirp crossed the sky.
Wang Baoshan followed the crowd and immediately looked up, and he found that it was a goshawk, hovering in the sky.
"Isn't that a goshawk taking off?" Wang Baoshan looked up at the goshawk and asked Luo Ying beside him.
"Exactly, it seems that my father was afraid that I would make a mistake, and let Tengfei follow. ”
Luo Ying watched the goshawk in the sky take off, with a strange face on his face, and said with emotion.
"So your dad went back?"
Wang Baoshan remembered that before, when Luo Orion helped them go to Bishan to rescue the mine slaves, they didn't see the goshawk, could it be that they went back yesterday, but it wasn't so fast!
"No, Tengfei has always been by our side, but it's a little far away. Besides, my father entered the Black Wind Ridge this time, so he doesn't plan to go back. ”
"It's better not to go back, and there is a care in the village. ”
Luo Ying watched the goshawk take off, and couldn't help but say: "My father has taken me very seriously, and now I live in the village, which is not as good as before." ”
"I said, Brother Luo, don't be dissatisfied, your father is good to you!"
Yang Zhuoyi on the side didn't know why, and suddenly, he interjected such a sentence.
Luo Ying obviously didn't like to listen to it, so he retorted: "If he is good to me, he shouldn't take care of me in everything..."
"This ......" Yang Zhuoyi was told by him, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
When Wang Baoshan saw them talking and talking, he began to change his taste, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth for a while, so he gave up.
For a while, everyone stopped talking, and their group continued to walk forward with their own thoughts.
