Ming Xilai had actually quietly observed Niu Er at the door for a long time, and his intuition from many years of business told him that Niu Er was not a fraud.

Because, no one would have known three days ago that he was going to Xifengkou to work in the army, and even he himself only had this thought two days ago because he missed the girl he interviewed on the front line.

Niu Er's helper in Ming's grain store should just want to make up enough money to go to Xifengkou, otherwise with his physical strength, he can apply for a fixed job, and the treatment is much stronger than this kind of temporary, and the manager Zhang in charge of this matter will definitely not refuse.

When Niu Er didn't use a gun, but took out his big black bow, Ming Xilai was sure that the leader of the escort team that went to Xifengkou this time was him, a hunter from Shaanxi.

If Niu Er, who was wearing a big bag on his shoulders before, was just a strong northwest man, then Niu Er, who took the big black bow, as he said, he was the tiger in the forest, and the momentum of the king of the forest was about to burst out, he was the eagle in the sky, and his eyes were sharp so that others unconsciously avoided it.

Ming's grain store, as a large grain store in Beiping, of course has its own armed guards, otherwise in this chaotic season, the grain truck will not be robbed by the mountain bandits as soon as possible?

Why did the new leader of the escort team and a group of laborers, grooms, and even cooks serve as guards, Ming Xilai also has his own difficulties.

He went to Xifengkou this time, and the labor army was just a superficial matter, and the real intention was to pull a group of seriously wounded soldiers of the 29th Army back to Beiping, who were as high as 1,000 people.

General He of the Northern Military Commission personally told him that the city of Beiping was full of Japanese spies, and if he sent a regular army to guard the convoy of labor troops, this news would definitely attract the attention of the Japanese, and even guessed the real intention of the convoy based on the number of vehicles and the composition of the vehicles.

Moreover, for the sake of secrecy, General He suggested that all escort units should adopt new members, and that the convoys should leave as soon as they were organized, so as not to give Japanese spies a chance to infiltrate and learn the news.

Such benefits are naturally enormous, and they can guard against Japanese planes, and with the Japanese being picky, they are absolutely reluctant to use expensive aerial bombs to blow up a convoy loaded with grain and pork, and you think that if the rice is blown up, you can't eat it? The Japanese are not going to make this loss-making deal.

However, there is also a risk, the biggest threat to the Japanese is not to be remembered, at this time of war and chaos, what if some people who do not open their eyes are concerned? This possibility, Boss Ming, who has rich life experience, naturally will not ignore it, because what he brought this time was not the regular guard caravan of his grain store, but a bunch of scum。。。。。。

A powerful person like Niu Er is the first choice for the commander of the guard.

personally promised that as soon as Niu Er's convoy arrived at Xifengkou, Boss Ming would ask the senior management of the 29th Army to help him find his big brother named Niu Da in that unit. Because, Niu Dafa's letter home that was carried by Niu Er was only written in the 29th Army and not in that unit, but Niu Er stubbornly believed that his eldest brother was in the army surrounded by the Japanese army.

With this promise from Ming Xilai, Niu Er carried his big black bow and became the commander of the temporary escort.

The convoy was ready in the afternoon, with 10 large trucks and more than 100 trucks carrying 50,000 catties of rice noodles and 20,000 catties of pork heading to Xifengkou.

Niu Er and Ming Xilai were both eager people to arrive at Xifengkou, and they couldn't wait to follow the last carriage, so they led the truck convoy to take the lead as the pioneer.

The carriages were not numerous, but the goods were not much, and there were more than 100 horsemen and dozens of heavily armed guards, and they were on the main road, but the danger was not great.

Don't look at the speed of the truck, but because it is the first and there are many goods, it is more dangerous, and Ming Xilai and Niu Er are also in this convoy.

The two men and seven or eight armed guards huddled in the wagon, moving forward in the cold wind of northern spring. Lao Ming, who stubbornly chooses to share weal and woe with his own guards, no matter how Niu Er persuades him, even if he is so cold that his face is blue and his lips are white, in the words of the future, he will freeze into a dog, and he will not return to the cab, which makes Niu Er sigh a little, but also extremely worried that this person will not be able to fulfill his promise if he is frostbitten.

Fortunately, Lao Ming doesn't look at his fifties, this body is still quite tough, and after a whole night, except for his pale face, there is no major problem.

In the early morning, the convoy, which had spent ten hours and ran more than 300 miles, finally completed the road and entered the Great Wall Mountains, which was only 50 miles away from Xifengkou. Although the mountains in this area are rugged and the mountain roads are narrow and difficult, it can be regarded as entering the defense area of the 29th Army, and it is safer to think that it is safer than taking those deserted so-called roads at night.

Sure enough, the convoy marched forward for more than half an hour, getting closer and closer to Xifengkou, and although the mountain was getting deeper and deeper, there was no problem.

When the mood was relaxed, Lao Ming, who was cold and opened two mouthfuls of steamed buns to fill his stomach, estimated that he was about to see his daughter, not only sat in the car with great interest and enjoyed the scenery on the side of the road, but also hummed the Peking Opera "Quanmei Case!" ”

"Master Horse, you take a closer look, this Qin Xianglian 。。。。。"

"Good!"

"The owner is a great talent, and he still has this hand."

A group of temporary guards are holding up their owners who are obviously in a good mood.

Although they are all people in the market who don't know a few big characters, Peking Opera is a must-have entertainment for Peking people, who wouldn't learn to drag a few sentences of Chinese in the opera? The organic spirit is just right to apply what he has learned, but the "great talent" is used here, but it is just right.

praised Comrade Lao Ming with a smile on his face, and his mood was quite good.

Only Niu Er, who was standing at the front of the car body, did not participate in Comrade Lao Ming's opera conference, and searched the cliffs on both sides with sharp eyes.

As a hunter, he knows that danger is often when you let your guard down the most. This is how wild wolves hunt their prey, waiting for the moment when their vigilant prey finally lets down their vigilance and bursts out of the grass, and neither humans nor animals can escape their sharp teeth, especially when they are in packs.

As the convoy continued, the mountains and forests were extremely quiet, and even the low roar of the truck's engine did not seem to tear the tranquility of the mountains, and soon the noise of this machinery was eliminated in the silence of the mountains.

Everyone was excited, excited that they were about to arrive at their destination. Comrade Lao Ming is about to see his precious daughter, and the temporary guards who are enthusiastic and ask to come here are because they want to see the army, maybe they can see the real battlefield and those Japanese who are like the devil in legends, if they can kill a Japanese devil with their own hands, then go back and blow it for a lifetime!

But a cold light burst out of Niu Er's eyes!

No, it's so quiet here, so quiet that even the birds in the mountains and forests don't dare to sing, and this is often when there are beasts of prey.

Obviously, this is unlikely, in front of a convoy of dozens of people and ten large trucks. Even if it is a tiger, it can only squat honestly.

And the dishonest ones may only be people, a lot of people.

"Head car, accelerate!" Niu Er roared sharply, and at the same time clenched his big black bow, and reached out to pull out three long arrows from his back.

One is placed on the string and two are bitten in the mouth.

While everyone was stunned, a hundred meters ahead only heard "Boom! With a loud bang, several giant trees as thick as an adult's waist rolled down the cliff and smashed sideways and vertically on the loess road that could only pass a truck.
