Normally, if there is a knock on the door at this time, there must be a guest visiting - the waiter who cleans up the house basically knocks on the door at one o'clock in the morning to clean up, and it is now past time.

Liu Xin got up, put on slippers, walked to the door and did not open the door directly, but opened his mouth and asked, "Who?" ”

A familiar voice came from outside: "Miss Liu, I am the Guo staff officer of the headquarters." ”

This "Guo Staff Officer" was the young officer who stayed after the old man left, and for a few days, this benevolent brother would basically come once a day to ask Liu Xin and Fang Xiaochen if they needed help. If there is, he will deal with it, and if not, he will not stay longer and leave directly. For his voice, the two girls are still relatively familiar.

As soon as he heard his voice, Liu Xin stretched out his hand and opened the door, and sure enough, he saw Staff Officer Guo standing outside, his shoulders wet, thinking that he was drenched outside. But this time he did not come alone, behind him, there was also a tall colonel officer about forty years old. This person is not strong on the outside, but there is a shrewdness in his eyes, and he has the basic qualities of a professional soldier at a glance.

Liu Xin smiled and invited Staff Officer Guo and the man into the house, and then asked Staff Officer Guo with a questioning face, "Who is this ......?" ”

"Let me introduce you, this is Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou of a certain infantry brigade of a certain group army under the Military Region, and he is also the leader of the unit where you are going.

When Fang Xiaochen heard this, this turned out to be the deputy brigade commander of Cheng Zhichao's unit. immediately rushed to Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou from the window. Regardless of the other party's age than himself, it should be the other party who stretched out his hand to shake hands with him first, as soon as his arm was stretched, a slender jade hand had already stretched out, and his face was full of smiles: "Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou, hello, my name is Fang Xiaochen." ”

Before Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou came, he obviously received the care of his superiors, at least he knew that the two little girls in front of him were not small, and he also smiled and stretched out his hand. After shaking hands with Fang Xiaochen, he said a few kind words.

Seeing that the two sides had finished saluting, Staff Officer Guo smiled on the side and said, "Miss Liu, Miss Fang." Originally, the chief meant to wait for the rain to stop before sending the two to the Jibu Brigade. However, according to the information from the meteorological department, it will take at least two or three days for the rain to stop. The chief was afraid that the two would not be able to wait, and it happened that Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou came to the military region to do business, so he took care of him and left immediately and sent the two to the Jibu Brigade to teach the brigade. ”

Fang Xiaochen was overjoyed and said happily: "Is this true? ”

"The car is ready underneath, and the two of you can pack up and go. However, the chief said that he was busy with work, so he would not come to see him off. After the two of them went back, they brought a good message to Chief of Staff Cheng. ”

"That's for sure." Fang Xiaochen nodded again and again. looked at him and casually asked, "By the way, I've been bothering that old man for a few days, and I don't know who he is." Even if we want to bring it, we don't know who it represents, right? ”

A smile appeared on Staff Officer Guo's face: "That old man, as long as you say that you are a classmate who studied with Chief of Staff Cheng some time ago, he will naturally know." Otherwise, it's really inconvenient for me to say, Miss Fang, please forgive me. ”

Fang Xiaochen nodded, Cheng Weiguo studied national defense research. This is also the content that only a senior officer of his level can study, and the old man is not conspicuous, but judging by the attitude of the staff officer towards others, it is obvious that he is the military and political boss of the southwest officer. Now that he said so, a fool could think of it. The level of that old man is at least on par with Cheng Weiguo.

Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou glanced at the clothes on Fang Xiaochen and Liu Xin, and his face showed a strange look: "This." Let's change our clothes first, and we'll wait outside. After you have changed your clothes, let's go immediately. ”…,

At this time, the staff officer also found that the two girls were only wearing a set of home clothes, which was harmless to wear in the house, but if they were worn outside, it would be a little inappropriate. Hurriedly echoed Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou's Jian yì, and the two of them retreated outside and closed the door.

After Fang Xiaochen and Liu Xin waited for them to withdraw, they immediately hurriedly began to turn over their clothes and dress up, and they were busy. Fang Xiaochen didn't know how far the military region headquarters was from the teaching brigade, but since Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou said that the car was waiting below, he was going to take the car. Where you can get there by car, you can't go far no matter how far you want. Otherwise, Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou would not have come by car, but would have taken the train.

That is to say, tonight at the latest, it is possible to see Cheng Zhichao, after looking forward to it for so long, and finally keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon, how can Fang Xiaochen and Liu Xin not dress up well? Time flies by when the two of them finish dressing up and packing up their things, and most of the hours have passed. This is still the result of the two of them trying to speed up the time, and some of the more time-consuming, such as eyebrow drawing and other processes, have all been simplified.

When dressing up, I only think about dressing up beautifully, and I don't take into account the factor of time. After dressing up, I found that I had taken a little longer, so that the moment I opened the door and left the house, the faces of the two people were a little embarrassed. However, although Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou and Staff Officer Guo waited outside for more than half an hour, they did not mean to be impatient, but after seeing the beautiful and refined appearance of the two of them, they couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

Fang Xiaochen's face specially made Liu Xin put a layer of pale red rouge, which looked much ruddy. In front of Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou, even if she is not a lady, she has to pretend, and she has made her wait for so long, she feels a little embarrassed, so her face is slightly flushed.

This blush coupled with carmine added a lot to her whole person, if it weren't for the fact that she was still a little haggard, even Liu Xin's light would have been taken away by her: "That, Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou, Staff Officer Guo, we have already packed up and can go." ”

"Ah, let's go." Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou nodded and said to Staff Officer Guo: "Staff Officer Guo, that's it, I'll go back first." ”

"Okay, be careful on the road, if Miss Fang and Miss Liu need it. Call directly. I reported to the chief as soon as possible. After Staff Officer Guo finished speaking, he shook hands with him, and said with a smile to Fang Xiaochen and Liu Xin, "Goodbye, two." ”

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Originally, Liu Xin had already taken out the money, but he was forcibly stopped by Staff Officer Guo, saying that the chief had confessed that he would be responsible for the accommodation expenses in the past few days, and let Liu Xin and Fang Xiaochen just leave. The two girls felt embarrassed enough to trouble others to arrange for themselves everywhere. It was really unreasonable for the old man to pay for the accommodation, but the chief of staff insisted on not letting the two of them pay the bill. The two sides were in a stalemate at the cashier for more than ten minutes, and finally forced Staff Officer Guo to call the chief, and Liu Xin blushed. Rather embarrassed, he put the money away.

When I got out of the door of the guest house, I saw an army-green off-road vehicle parked at the door, the engine was already running, and it was making a slight roar. A non-commissioned officer in a green uniform saw them come out, hurriedly opened the car door and jumped out, stepped forward quickly, took the luggage from Fang Xiaochen and Liu Xin and put it in the car without a sound, opened the car door again, invited them into the car, and waited for all three of them to settle down. Only then did he go around the front of the car to the driver's side, open the door and get into the car.

Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou sat in the co-pilot's seat, took out a towel and wiped the windshield, and said to the non-commissioned officer: "Go back to the brigade headquarters." ”…,

The driver was stunned for a moment: "Brigade commander, didn't you say that you would go home to see your sister-in-law?" Not going back? ”

Brigade Commander Zhou glanced at Liu Xin and Fang Xiaochen in the rearview mirror, and glared at the non-commissioned officer: "If you go back to the brigade headquarters, you will go back to the brigade headquarters, what so much nonsense." The old husband and wife of more than 20 years, what is there to see, there is a big mess in the brigade, and Political Commissar Hong is not the brigade commander. How can the brigade commander be busy alone. ”

The driver didn't dare to say any more, muttered a few words in his mouth, and drove out of the compound of the guest house slowly.

After Liu Xin and Fang Xiaochen listened to the conversation between the two of them, they couldn't help but feel uneasy in their hearts. It seems that Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou's family should be located here, if it weren't for the two of them. After Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou finished his errands, he planned to go home. It's just because the two of them are going to see Cheng Zhichao. Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou, who received the task, had to change his itinerary, gave up going home to reunite with his lover, and went directly back to the brigade.

However, they were not familiar with Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou, and they could only be uneasy in their hearts, and it was impossible to intervene to let Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou go home first, and then return to the brigade, so they had to sit in the back row and pretend not to hear, and make a fortune in a muffled voice.

The car wandered around the city for more than half an hour, and finally turned onto a highway. The driver is also a tiger general, relying on his car is green and white, he didn't stop at the toll gate, and rushed directly after the previous car, and the computer pole almost wiped the rear windshield and smashed down. After passing the toll gate, directly adjust the gear, hit the accelerator, quickly overtook the car in front, squeezed a favorable terrain, all the way fast, the speed is getting faster and faster, more than ten seconds later, the speed of the car rose to more than 140 kilometers, and the scenery on both sides quickly retreated.

The driver seemed to enjoy it, and with a few more kicks of the throttle, the speed increased again to almost 150 km/h. This week, the deputy brigade commander couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded the driver: "It's raining, and there are people sitting behind, can you drive slowly?" ”

The driver was reprimanded by him, released the accelerator, but did not apply the brakes, and the car still maintained a high speed of inertia and slid forward. Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou smiled awkwardly at Fang Xiaochen and Liu Xin: "I'm really sorry, the drivers of the troops are relatively rough, so I didn't scare the two." ”

Liu Xin pursed her lips: "No, no, when we were at home before, we also liked to drive fast." It's just that I don't dare to drive like this on the highway, and there are too many photos. ”

At this time, the rain outside had subsided, and it had become a cow's hairy rain, and the vision was much stronger than just now, and after slowing down the speed of the car, the driver's spirit was also relaxed a lot. He didn't know what the two behind him were, why even the deputy brigade commander had to be careful when talking to them. Strange, he couldn't help but secretly look at Fang Xiaochen and Liu Xin who were sitting in the back. But looking at it, except for feeling that these two girls are outstanding, there is nothing surprisingly bubbling.

Liu Xin and Fang Xiaochen didn't notice his peeking behavior, the two girls had their own hearts, and even if they saw it, they wouldn't take it too seriously.

After walking on the highway for a while, Fang Xiaochen bit his lip and asked Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou, "That." Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou. How long will we have to walk before we ...... Can you get to the place? ”

Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou asked rhetorically: "Is Miss Fang going to our brigade headquarters or to the teaching brigade?" ”

"Teach the brigade."

Now Fang Xiaochen already knows that the unit in which Cheng Zhichao serves is a teaching brigade, she has lived in the provincial capital for more than half a year, and has had a lot of contact with people in the military. Cheng Zhichao should be much easier to serve as a soldier in the teaching team than in the field army, and he feels a lot more relieved.

"From the military district to the brigade, if you take the high speed. It took six or seven hours to walk, get off the highway, and walk for nearly an hour to reach the brigade. However, there are still many hours to go from the brigade to the teaching team. Let's go now. It was already dark when I arrived at the brigade, so I could only stay in the guest house in the brigade tonight, and I could only leave tomorrow to teach the team. ”…,

"Huh? Still want to stay in a guest house? "I can't see Cheng Zhichao tonight, Fang Xiaochen felt slightly disappointed in his heart.

"If Miss Fang wants to leave overnight tonight to teach the team, of course she can. But I advise you to stay in the guest house for the night, and early tomorrow morning, we will go together to teach the brigade. ”

"Why? Bad to walk at night? ”

"The road is ok, most of it is high-speed. However, tomorrow the teaching team and a mechanized infantry company under the brigade will put on a good show and engage in a confrontation. The captain of the teaching team has already sent an invitation letter to the brigade, and tomorrow the brigade commander and other leaders will go to observe. Have a good night's rest at the guest house. I set off at three or four o'clock in the morning, and when I arrived at the teaching team, it was o'clock, just in time for that confrontation. ”

Fang Xiaochen's eyes lit up, the teaching team and the Jibu Company want to engage in confrontation? She has lived so much, she has only watched the drill on TV, and she has never seen a real confrontation, and she has always felt that this kind of scene is quite awesome. Unexpectedly, in his home field, the Northeast Military Region, he didn't have the opportunity to see such a big scene, but he encountered it in the Southwest Military Region away.

Liu Xin's heart was also moved. Gu couldn't be reserved, and blurted out: "Then tomorrow's confrontation, will Cheng Zhichao also participate?" ”

"I don't know about this, but I heard that in the past, every time the teaching team held a training camp, everyone participated. Cheng Zhichao is a soldier of the teaching team. I think I'll be able to participate. ”

The two girls glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but be fascinated. Cheng Zhichao is already handsome and brave in their hearts. Just a photo of him wearing a military uniform is enough to make them not tired of looking at him for most of the day, if they can have the opportunity to see him on the battlefield, then they must not be fascinated to death?

Originally, not only Fang Xiaochen, but even Liu Xin was quite disappointed after hearing the news that he couldn't see Cheng Zhichao today. But after learning that they had the opportunity to see Cheng Zhichao on the battlefield, the two women felt in their hearts that it was not a big deal if they couldn't see Cheng Zhichao today.

The driver frowned as he drove, and secretly thought, "Cheng Zhichao? Who is this Cheng Zhichao, how could it attract so much attention from the two behind, I have never heard of such a famous person in the teaching team. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, I still didn't remember where I heard Cheng Zhichao's name, and I thought that it shouldn't be an important person, otherwise as the driver, I have no reason not to know this person's existence. At that moment, he gave up the idea of continuing to investigate this person, and drove the car to the fullest. His driving skills were already outstanding, but after being a soldier for a long time, he was used to driving a military car, and he developed the bad problem of "hero car". This time, I drove with my heart, and my driving skills were fully exerted, and it was fast and stable. Although there is still a suspicion of speeding, at least Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou doesn't have to worry that the two soft and weak girls behind him will not be able to stand it.

The distance between the military region and the Jibu Brigade was really far enough, and it was not until it was completely dark that the driver drove off the highway from a toll gate and onto the national highway. Fang Xiaochen and Liu Xin both knew that they were really going to be there this time, and they both had smiles on their faces. The fly in the ointment is that it is completely dark outside, and you can't see the surrounding scenery, which is quite a pity.

Along the way, they also figured it out, and it was fast enough to be able to rush from the military district headquarters to the brigade headquarters of a mechanized infantry brigade in just a few hours. After all, a large military region is in charge of the defense of several provinces, and each military region has several group armies under its jurisdiction, but there is only one headquarters, and it is impossible for each province to have a headquarters. Some units are one or two thousand kilometers away from the headquarters of the military region, and even if they take the highway, they have to walk for more than 10 hours. In comparison, Cheng Zhichao's location in the Jibu Brigade is not bad, and they only let them sit in the car for six or seven hours, so they should feel content.

After another hour or so, the car finally turned into the compound of the Jibu Brigade Headquarters, and after entering the hospital, Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou immediately asked the driver to drive the car to the guest house, arranged a room for Fang Xiaochen and Liu Xin, and then asked people to prepare dinner for the two of them, and he hurriedly ran to Gui Yongjun and made a detailed report to Gui Yongjun about the task he had temporarily received in the military region.

When Gui Yongjun heard that Cheng Zhichao's fiancée had found the unit under the arrangement of Chief of Staff Cheng, Gui Yongjun couldn't help but feel a headache. With a wry smile: "These young ladies are just taking the resources of the army inappropriately, just being a soldier, and after only a few months, I can't stand it and chase the troops?" Chief of Staff Cheng is really choked, and he actually arranged for them to meet, which is really terrible. ”

"Brigade commander, everyone is already here, what's the use of you saying this?"

"What about people?"

"I've put them in a guest house."

"Forget it, let's arrange it." With a long sigh, he grabbed the hat on the table, and said helplessly: "Let's go, go and see people, why is it also the descendant of the chief of staff of the Northeast Military Region." (To be continued......)
