Chapter 82: The Epitome

Xu Lei, who was in pain, saw that Li Ruixin had turned over and dismounted, and came with a horse oar in his hand, so he hurriedly stepped back with his hands and feet, and said at the same time: "Brother Li, everything in the past was the younger brother's, but the mother-in-law and Qian'er are still waiting for the younger brother to come home, so you can let the little brother go." ”

Hearing this, Li Ruixin couldn't help but be stunned, and after a while, he threw down his horse and paddle and walked straight to Xu Lei, grabbed his collar and grabbed it, and pressed it to the tree next to the road.

"What did you say?!"

Li Ruixin is not short, and here he grabbed Xu Lei's collar and pressed it on the trunk. It's just a pity that Xu Lei is far inferior to Li Ruixin, and he is restrained like this here, his feet are already off the ground, if he doesn't have a tree trunk behind him to rely on, he will be strangled in the air if he doesn't get it right.

Hearing Li Ruixin's question, looking at the look of tearing eyes, Xu Lei hurriedly explained, only hating his parents for giving him a few mouths, lest if he said that if he slowed down, he would be chewed by the big eater in front of him.

It turned out that the mother-in-law and Qian'er in his mouth were actually Li Ruixin's old mother and younger sister, when Huang Degong died, Tian Xiong and Ma Degong held Hongguang Tianzi hostage to Qing, Li Ruixin's father and eldest brother were all killed in the chaos, and even he was lucky to get rid of a lot of injuries, but he was separated from his family. After recovering from his injury, Li Ruixin searched for many places, but at that time, there was a shortage of soldiers, coupled with backward communication technology, and in the end, there was no news at all.

It's just that what Li Ruixin didn't know was that as Tian Xiong's cronies, Xu Lei's uncle Xu Xin also followed suit, so the old camp that Xu Xin was in charge of at that time fell into the hands of Tian Xiong.

Li Ruixin's eldest sister-in-law committed suicide by hanging herself when she heard that her husband was killed in battle, and Xu Lei coveted the little sister of the Li family back then, but because the two families had a feud when they surrounded and suppressed the Liukou, it was naturally impossible to marry her home. This time, the man of the Li family was martyred, and the missing disappeared, Xu Lei got Li Ruixin's mother and little sister who found an excuse to go home, and later saw that the surviving Li Ruixin never came to the door, and even took the little sister of the Li family as a concubine.

In ancient China, there was no shortage of stories of husband and wife loving and respecting each other, but it is a pity that the second generation of arrogant officials like Xu Lei is obviously not such an elegant person, plus the identity of the concubine. The little sister of the Li family has not come out for two years, so she immediately changed from a goddess to an "old hen that does not lay eggs", and her status in the Xu family has also plummeted.

In fact, what happened to the little sister of the Li family in the current troubled times, in fact, is not bad, although she is married to a non-human, but at least there is a place to live, it is better than the days of being a slave day and a prostitute at night. It's just that in front of Li Ruixin, he would never dare to say that even if he borrowed eighty guts from him.

"Brother Li knows, the younger brother has always been in love with Qian'er, and he didn't mention the things that he was young and frivolous, and then the Yasukuni Duke died, and the younger brother was afraid that his mother-in-law and Qian'er would suffer before he was taken home, if it weren't for Tian Xiong's dog thief who repeatedly claimed that Brother Li's family was a traitor against the Qing court, and he couldn't be a wife, and with his friendship with Qian'er, he would never be a concubine......"

From a benefactor to a dog thief, Tian Xiong's identity has completed the transformation from heaven to earth in Xu Lei's mouth, and it is always better than Li Rong's fate.

This time, Li Ruixin, who has not been heard from for many years, came back to life, which really frightened him, who was beaten by Li Ruixin for several months because he was drunk and flirted with the little sister of the Li family, and he couldn't get out of bed for a few months.

It's just that this Qing army was defeated, Xu Lei doesn't know how many people who know the situation in his family have fallen into the hands of Chen Wen, if he talks nonsense here, if he is still taken by Li Ruixin, once the lie is exposed, I am afraid that with Li Ruixin's temperament, he Xu Lei will not be able to die happily.

"Although it is a concubine's room, but in the younger brother's family, it can also be equal to the wife, there has never been a difference in food and clothing, even the mother-in-law is also at home to support filial piety, and the younger brother does not go out to bow every day, and he does not dare to forget ...... one day."

Xu Lei's words are not true, but he is biting him to honor Li Ruixin's mother, and he is in love with the little sister of the Li family, so that Li Ruixin can let him live, but unfortunately the little sister of the Li family has nothing to do, otherwise a nephew or niece should have a better effect.

"Still alive, mother, little sister, you are still alive......"

Hearing the news that his family was in a catastrophe, Li Ruixin, who was immersed in the joy of the family's hope of reuniting, let go of the hands that restrained Xu Lei in a trance, and he also sat on the ground at the moment when Xu Lei's feet touched the ground again.

Li Ruixin here was completely defenseless, but for Xu Lei, Li Ruixin's martial arts bravery, whether it was back then or just now, really made him dare not have the slightest idea of acting rashly. At this moment, if you can convince this person, of course, it is the best, if you can't convince it, presumably the outlaw master of the Ming army will also look at Li Ruixin's face and spare him not to die, it is better than being killed by Li Ruixin after a failed sneak attack.

Seeing that Li Ruixin was already immersed in family affection, Xu Lei immediately revealed his intentions and discernment. "Brother Li, there are only you and me here, my mother-in-law and Qian'er are still waiting for my little brother to go home, and when my little brother goes back, I can tell them the news that Brother Li is alive, and there will always be a time to see each other in the future. If the younger brother can't go back, I'm afraid that I'll ...... then."

Hearing Xu Lei's words, Li Ruixin also reacted from a trance, and his eyes gradually deepened.

At the same time, the cavalry had gone after the Qing army and some of the soldiers had returned, and Chen Wen began to count the spoils after inspecting their catches.

During this time, all the soldiers of the Nantang battalion here have returned to the team, except for those who are guarding the Fulong machine gun, only Li Ruixin has not returned, but with this person's martial bravery, Chen Wen is also very relieved.

Up to now, the battle is not conducive to escape by relying on the terrain, the Nantang battalion has captured nearly a thousand Qing troops, there are soldiers, there are also auxiliaries, and even some officers of the standard battalion, almost all of them participated in the battle, and the biggest gain turned out to be the deputy general Li Rong of the left battalion who was always in command under the general flag and did not participate in the battle.

The commander of the First Army was captured, and Chen Wen couldn't believe his ears when he heard the news just now. It's just that after the excitement, he can't be interested in this guy anymore - the Ming army was defeated at Siming Lake, and the people who were captured according to the habits of the Qing army were probably already unfortunate, and at this moment, there were many Ming army dependents in the southward team who were always in the grief of losing their relatives along the way, so the fate of the deputy general of this promotion battalion was already doomed, and for Chen Wen, who had not yet developed the habit of capitalists chasing surplus value, it was the temptation of the baggage carried by the Qing army that was much greater.

"You guys, take off all your clothes for Lao Tzu......"

The Qing army's baggage carts did not run away, and the cotton clothes, bedding, gunpowder, arrows, projectiles and other messy military supplies inside were all cheaper Chen Wen, and the cavalry who rushed back also told Chen Wen that the Qing army still had two Furlong machine guns and some other trophies on the road were also captured, and a part of the cavalry was escorting those gunners and auxiliaries to get those trophies.

Hearing this news, Chen Wen immediately felt rejoiced, the Fran cannon, the cannon of the Zimu gun, although the Zi Gong ran out of gun, he had to wait a long time before he could continue firing the cannon, but those few Zi Gong were enough for the opponent to drink a pot. Fortunately, this thing was relatively cumbersome, and the advance speed on the "flat road" created by the engineer team was extremely slow, and it was impossible to catch up with the rapidly advancing Qing army, otherwise the losses of the Ming army in the shelling just now would have been even greater.

After the end of this battle, all the captured armor and weapons had been thrown on the empty cart that the Qing army was going to use to load the trophies, thinking of Li Rong's noble behavior of delivering goods to the door and giving away the means of transport, Chen Wen suddenly felt that this Qing army general did not seem to be as bad as he thought.

Although many of these armors are damaged, and many of the weapons are also damaged, it is still a small supplement for the Nantang battalion, whose armor can only barely equip half of the strength of the Mandarin Duck Array Killer Team. It's just that when he remembered that there was not much silver in the captured loot, the little goodwill that Li Rong had just established in Chen Wen's heart immediately disappeared.

Li Rong, don't you know that a soldier who is a standard soldier will be rewarded with fifteen taels of silver?

Li Rong, don't you know that the officers of the Raising Battalion are going to increase the reward for beheading?

Li Rong, don't you know that in this battle, the Nantang Battalion defeated your Biao Zuo Battalion with fewer victories and more Lao Tzu is going to be rewarded?

There's no common sense at all, and you don't have so many years of experience as a soldier, so you feed the dogs, right?

If you add the pension money for the casualties and the new benefits of the planned battalion soldiers, Chen Wen suddenly found that it seemed that the silver in the old camp treasury that had just fallen into his pocket was not enough, especially when these silver still supported the remnants of the old battalion in Dalanshan to survive until next year, Chen Wen's anger did not come to one place, and he just wanted to whip Li Rong a few times to vent his anger.

Since there is no silver in the large amount of income, then it can only accumulate a lot, and Chen Wen is ready to attack these prisoners and the corpses of the Qing army, although these Qing soldiers have not been robbed for a long time after chasing them all the way, but there should be some rewards before the Battle of Siming Lake and that battle, and it should be for them to take money to buy their lives.

However, Chen Wen's order to let the captives take off their clothes was met with some resistance, and these prisoners saw it as a sign that Chen Wen was preparing to kill the prisoners, and they were told to take off their clothes for fear that their blood would stain their clothes.

Even if there were soldiers with swords in front of them, those prisoners still chose to resist passively on the grounds that "soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated", and more simply knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, crying bitterly. All in all, the words and deeds of these nearly a thousand captives converged into one sentence, if you don't take it off, if you don't take it off, you won't take it off!

In this regard, Chen Wen had to say that he was a person who "robbed money but not sex", and now asked them to take off their clothes just to check whether they had any prohibited items such as daggers, knives, gold, silver ingots, copper coins, jewelry, antiques, multi-turret steam tanks, zeppelins, etc. As for their heads being too expensive, Chen Wen, the "poor party", has no interest in this.

All the good things are said, but in exchange for passive resistance in a silent way. Since this is the case, Chen Wendeng turned his face and denied people, and immediately said that as long as he did not take off his clothes, he was the enemy of the Ming army, and there was only one way to die, and at the same time, he also came up with a countdown method to increase the sense of urgency of these prisoners.

Listening to the numbers, the numbers are getting smaller and smaller, and the captives who continue to choose to resist passively are getting fewer and fewer, and even Chen Wen began to undress after only half of the count.

"No wonder I went to be a dog leg for the Manchu Dynasty, it's just one word, cheap!"

After complaining, Chen Wen ordered the temporary auxiliary team, which had not been tasked with caring for the wounded, to inspect the prisoners' belongings under the supervision of the pacification soldiers, return their clothes, and throw everything of some value into the empty baskets.

Finding that the clothes were returned to them, these Qing army prisoners seemed to be relieved, after so many years of troubled times, the generals who generally plucked their feathers to this point did not have the habit of returning what they got in their hands. Based on this common sense, they felt that their lives had been saved, and they did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction with the act of taking away their other belongings.

The armor and blades had already been loaded onto the carts, and as the baskets were filled one by one, the first prisoners to complete the search had begun to put on their clothes. At this moment, Zhang Jun, who assisted in the supervision, ran over with something.

"General, what's this?"

From the first time he saw the object, Chen Wen was attracted by its unique shape and material, and saw that the object was rectangular, flat enough to fit into the pocket of his previous clothes, or briefcase, and hardly took up much space.

Trembling and taking the object, Chen Wen felt the touch from his fingers, and the familiar feeling immediately evoked his memory from a long time ago, especially when he noticed that there was a trace in the corner of the object that was obviously dropped on the ground and dented, which made him even more mixed.

Power bank!

How could this power bank that he sold as a paperweight be here?!

Looking at the edge of the groove of the USB port, there seemed to be some dried bloodstains, Chen Wen immediately realized what was going on.

It was one day at the end of June, and after a one-day cameo appearance as a teacher in a farmer's home, Chen Wen exchanged this power bank known as a family heirloom paperweight for a day's dry food and set out on the road to Dalan Mountain.

To this day, he remembers the joy the boy felt when he rubbed the bank's smooth surface when he got it in his hands, and the relief on his parents' faces as they watched it all.

Those bloodstains should be theirs!

"Which mongrel did this thing come from?!"
