In Liao's house, Liao Hongbo sat in a chair, staring at the empty teapot in front of him, and there was no more fragrant tea in a cup next to him, replaced by boiled water.

After returning from the black market, Liao Hongbo handed over the money to his wife, said nothing, and went back to the study.

Sitting in the study, looking at the place where the two guns were placed, Liao Hongbo felt a lot of pain in his heart. That's his favorite thing, after using it for so many years, he has long had a deep feeling, and suddenly being bought by someone else like this, he really can't accept it for a while.

"Forget it, I won't be a detective in the future, it's useless to keep that gun, it's better to let someone who can use it hold it." Liao Hongbo relieved himself, but he always felt uncomfortable in his heart.

That's how he passed the morning, sitting in his study silently thinking about something.

The curtain at the door of the house was lifted, and then his wife came in from outside, carrying a pot of boiling water, which he had usually drunk half of his tea, and needed to be refilled.

"There's not much tea left, it's time to buy some." Walking to the table, while talking, his wife lifted the lid of the pot, and found that there was no tea in it at all, so she couldn't help but be stunned, and then turned her head and saw the water cup on the side, "Why, you didn't make tea today?" ”

"Save if you can, save a little, we don't have any money now, and we can't be as lavish as before." Liao Hongbo's voice was a little low, he picked up the teacup as he spoke, then brought it to his mouth and swallowed it in a big gulp, and then swallowed it hard.

Accustomed to drinking tea, Liao Hongbo felt that this white water had no taste in his mouth, and it was so hard to swallow it.

Seeing Liao Hongbo's throat swallowing hard, his wife felt that her nose was sore, and the corners of her eyes were a little moist, so she hurriedly turned around and rushed out of the house.

Liao Hongbo put down the teacup, then breathed a long sigh of relief, and then raised his head to look at the sky outside.

Today's sky is very bad, overcast, and a lot of wind is blowing, and there seems to be a chill in the air, which makes people feel bad.

Standing up, Liao Hongbo walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and his mind turned involuntarily.

"Luo Xiao is the commander of the Yanhuang Legion and the sworn enemy of the Japanese, how can he frequent his presence in Fengtian City? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the devil and out of danger? ”

"I'm afraid he has some plans to enter the city this time, right? Is it against the Japanese? ”

"There was a lot of gunfire outside, it could be that he did it, but this scale is a bit too big, it has covered the whole city, could it be that the Yanhuang Legion has grown to this extent?"

"Why did he buy my gun, he has a good weapon, it's not worse than my gun, isn't it-"

Thinking of this, Liao Hongbo couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "It seems that this detective's old problem hasn't changed, and he can't help but think about it." ”

Turning around, Liao Hongbo walked towards the outside of the study, he planned to go and see his wife in the kitchen to see if she needed help with anything.

He had just taken two steps when there was a sudden knock outside the door, and the knocker was snapped.

Liao Hongbo's body shook, a cold glint flashed between his eyes, and then he reached out and touched his waist, but he felt empty, and then remembered that his gun had been sold.

Taking a deep breath, Liao Hongbo let his heartbeat steady a little, and the iron poker on the table disappeared between his cuffs with a swing of his arm, and then walked towards the door.

"Hong Bo, who will come at this time?" His wife rushed out of the kitchen, her face full of worry, and she grabbed him by the sleeve, "Why don't you open the door?" ”

This night, the gunshots sounded like popping beans, the sky was turned upside down outside, and suddenly someone knocked on the door, Liao's wife always felt that it would not be a good thing.

Liao Hongbo reached out and patted the back of her hand, and then whispered, "You don't have to worry, go back to the room, I want to use my name in Fengtian City, no one dares to come to me to make trouble." ”

The wife was still not at ease, but now she could only listen to Liao Hongbo, let go of her hand and returned to the room, and closed the door.

Liao Hongbo tidied up his clothes, and then walked towards the gate, each step was very calm, and there was no sense of panic at all.

After the knock on the door rang once, it paused for a moment before it sounded again, but it sounded more polite, and there was no intention of slamming the door, which made Liao Hongbo's heart a little more steady.

Walking to the door, Liao Hongbo looked out through the crack in the door, but saw no human figure, then he reached out and removed the latch, and then opened the door.

As the door slowly opened, a familiar face appeared behind the door, which made Liao Hongbo, who was full of apprehension, surprised, "It's you, Luo Xiao." ”

"Brother Liao, it's me!" Luo Xiao said with a smile, then stretched out his hand and pointed at the fully armed special combat team members behind him, "These are my soldiers." ”

"Hello Inspector Liao!" The soldiers raised their hands together, saluted Liao Hongbo, and said loudly.

Looking at the uniform movements, as well as the fierce aura that has been baptized on the battlefield for a long time, Liao Hongbo's heart couldn't help but tremble, "These people are so murderous, why are Luo Xiao such fierce subordinates." ”

Last time, he had already seen two special combat soldiers, although they were not his opponents, but they had already made him admire, he thought that it was already Luo Xiao's trump card, but now he found out that there were so many equally strong fighters.

However, seeing that it was Luo Xiao, Liao Hongbo's heart was relieved, although he and Luo Xiao did not see each other much, they cherished each other very much, and they both believed in each other's character.

"Xiaoyun, come out quickly, I'll introduce you to a friend." Turning his head and shouting into the house, Liao Hongbo let Luo Xiao and the others go inside.

Luo Xiao took a few special combat team members into the courtyard, and then let those special combat team members stay outside, while he followed Liao Hongbo towards the house.

At this time, Liao Hongbo's wife had already walked out of the house when she heard the sound, and she looked at Liao Hongbo suspiciously, not knowing why he let him come out to meet the guests.

"Xiaoyun, this is Luo Xiao, a good friend at first sight!" Liao Hongbo stretched out his hand to Luo Xiao as he spoke, and then introduced his wife in turn, "This is my wife, Zhang Xiaoyun." ”

As soon as she heard that it was Luo Xiao, Liao Hongbo's wife's eyes lit up, she had heard of Luo Xiao's heroic deeds many times, so she replied with a smile, "It turned out to be Brother Luo, Hong Bo has mentioned you to me many times, saying that you are an anti-Japanese hero, please come in, those brothers also come in to rest and drink saliva." ”

Luo Xiao hurriedly waved his hand, "Sister-in-law, don't be so polite." ”

The three of them entered the house, and then Liao Hongbo and Luo Xiao went to the study, while his wife returned to the kitchen.

The two of them sat down in the study, and Luo Xiao looked at the layout in his room, "Brother Liao, we are all cheerful people, so I won't say more polite words, this time I came to invite you out of the mountain." ”

"Out of the mountains?" Although he expected that Luo Xiao must have something to do with him, and he probably guessed what was going on, Liao Hongbo still didn't expect Luo Xiao to be so direct and say it straight to the point.

Luo Xiao nodded, "Yes, I asked you to go out of the mountain and re-serve as the inspector of the police station, responsible for the security of Fengtian City." ”

"Oh-" Liao Hongbo didn't answer in a hurry, but let out a soft sigh, and then sat on the chair and looked at Luo Xiao, waiting for him to continue.

"Brother Liao, Mukden City has now been taken by us, and the remaining devils are just surviving, and it won't take long to completely eliminate them, and Mukden City has returned to us Chinese." Luo Xiao looked at Liao Hongbo, and then continued, "However, now there are many idle people in society who take advantage of the fire to rob, burn, kill, and forcibly abduct, and do all kinds of evil, making Fengtian City a mess, and the common people are suffering from it. ”

"So you want me to go out of the mountain and take charge of the security of Fengtian City?" Liao Hongbo said slowly.

Luo Xiao nodded in response, "Yes, I hope that Brother Liao, you can stand up for the sake of the people and the righteousness of the nation and restore the law and order in Fengtian City." ”

"However, even if you capture Fengtian City, then how can the devils in those surrounding cities give up, they will definitely fight back and attack wildly." Liao Hongbo is worried about his family, if the Japanese come back from the counterattack and know that they have done something to Luo Xiao, then they will definitely be brutally retaliated.

Luo Xiao said with a smile, "Brother Liao, don't worry, since I dare to attack Fengtian City, then I have absolute certainty to defend her, and I can also build her into a stable base area, so as to gradually expand, and finally recover the three eastern provinces." ”

"Your Yanhuang Legion has actually grown in strength to this extent now?" Liao Hongbo looked disbelieving, you must know that the Kwantung Army has stationed three divisions in the northeast, and there is one and a half divisions and tens of thousands of troops in Fengtian Province alone, and in his impression, Luo Xiao's Yanhuang Army can have a few thousand people.

A few thousand people may be able to capture Fengtian City, but if they want to defend Fengtian City, then I am afraid that they will not be able to catch it, and it is likely to be the result of the destruction of the city at that time.

Luo Xiao saw Liao Hongbo's concerns, he stood up, looked at Liao Hongbo, then stretched out his right hand, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Liao, if you are willing to bet with me, bet that I have the ability to defend Fengtian City, and then be able to expand my sphere of influence." ”

Liao Hongbo lowered his head and pondered, weighing the pros and cons of doing so in his mind, and only then raised his head for a long time, "Luo Xiao, to be honest, I think your proposal is very dangerous. ”

Hearing Liao Hongbo say this, Luo Xiao did not have a look of disappointment on his face, but was calm, his right hand was still stretched forward and did not retract.

"But—"

After Liao Hongbo finished saying this, his tone suddenly changed, "However, I am willing to bet with you." As he spoke, he held Luo Xiao's palm.

The palms of the two men clenched together, and then shook vigorously.

Luo Xiao's eyes flashed with determination, "Believe me, Brother Liao, I won't let you down." ”
