Chapter 44: Appointed as a general in danger
That night, the sky was full of dark clouds that obscured the stars and moon.
The dark night of Pothos Mountain seems to have never been so dark.
Commander Hong Hua's personal female bodyguard, Red Boy, stood at the door of the hall of the military headquarters, looking up at the sky, not even the stars, the primitive ancient pine a few feet away, the courtyard where the anti-union fighters rested, also dissolved into the dark night, and the outline could not be seen clearly.
When the red boy entered the hall, he saw a red candle pouring out of Commander Hong Hua's bedroom.
She lay in front of the window and listened to Hong Hua and Bai Hongru whispering for a while.
Later, the whispering in the bed gradually faded, and the candlelight was suddenly extinguished.
The red boy smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that the groom had fallen asleep with Captain Hong Hua in his arms.
Red Boy thought, Captain Hong Hua is so happy to be a bride, maybe she will hold a little doll next year!
She just walked back to the front of the hall of the military headquarters and continued to stand guard to protect the safety of Commander Hong Hua.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the cave room in the hall, and the groom's official Bai Hongru came out.
The red boy stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Bai, is there something wrong with you?" ”
Bai Hongru looked at the female soldier who was loyal to her duty, smiled and said, "Oh...... It's a red child, you Sister Hong are hungry and want to eat poached eggs......"
Red Boy knows that Commander Hong Hua often stays up late to read, or discusses military affairs with his generals overnight, and often eats some poached eggs as a supper at night, without orders, and Red Boy will send them at that time.
But isn't it midnight yet? The red boy looked at Bai Hongru with some confusion. Still, she went into the kitchen.
After a while, the chef made a large bowl of poached eggs, and the red boy walked out with it, and the cook lit her up with a lantern in the back.
"Tata Tower...... Tata Tower......"
He was just about to go up the steps before he walked to the hall, when suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from the bottom of the mountain, and he stopped at the door of the hall from far and near.
An anti-union sentry on the periphery of the hall pulled the bolt of his gun and asked, "Who?" Password! ”
"Yes...... Golden Flower, Golden Flower is back! "Just listen to one man's voice.
"Sister Jinhua!" The red boy screamed in surprise, but suddenly felt that the voice was wrong.
She hurriedly put down the poached egg and ran over.
The chef also came and lit up.
I saw that the young man named Ximen Jian during the day, holding an unkempt and colorless golden flower in his arms, seemed to have passed out.
"Huh?" Red Boy was taken aback: "What's going on?" Sister Jinhua, Sister Jinhua...... I'm a red boy, what's wrong with you? ”
However, Jinhua still didn't wake up.
Ximen Jian said: "Let me tell her for you, you go and report to Commander Honghua, Jinhua has already investigated and understood, that groom official Bai Hongru is a spy of the little devil, and Bai Hongru has already sent the information out, and the little devil is about to enter the mountain!" ”
"Huh?" The red boy was taken aback, rushed to the door of the hole in the hall like an arrow, and shouted, "Sister Hong! Sister Hong......"
But no one answered, the red boy had already sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly pushed the door open, and in the darkness, with the help of a faint light coming in from the window, he found that two people were sleeping on the kang.
Because of the urgency of the situation, the red boy uncovered the quilt regardless of it.
But there was no half a figure inside, only a pile of bulging clothes.
"Huh?" The red boy was taken aback, where did this person go?
She struck matches again, lit candles, and searched the table next to the kang and other corners where there was still no one.
The red boy was in a hurry, grabbed the pile of clothes and threw them on the ground, and an apricot-colored belly was thrown out, which was the personal belly of Commander Hong Hua.
"Oh my God......" Red Boy was stunned.
"Wow-" She couldn't help crying, after all, she was only 16 years old and still a child.
She cried and shouted, "Sister Hong! Sister Hong......"
At this time, Simon walked into Commander Honghua's new house with Jinhua in his arms and put her on the kang.
The red boy shook Jin Hua's shoulders with both hands, shook it vigorously and cried: "Sister Jin Hua, Sister Hong has seen it, and Mr. Bai is gone, what is going on?" Where are the devils? What are you going to say? ”
Ximen Jian seemed unhurried, and said to the red boy: "Don't worry, don't worry, Jinhua was caught by a little devil in Baihe County, tortured, and has passed out." ”
"Huh? What about her? ”
"It's okay, she'll wake up after a while. You go and assemble the team urgently. ”
"You...... You...... Why should I listen to you? Although Red Boy also knew Ximen Jian's identity, she was still a little hesitant because it was too sudden.
At this time, Jinhua woke up in a haze and said, "Hurry up...... Listen to Ximen Jian's ...... I...... Even if he rescued me, it's all my fault...... I didn't listen to Ximen Jian's words......"
Jin Hua reluctantly said these words, and passed out again.
When the red boy heard this, he hurriedly ran out.
Ximen Jian looked around the bedroom of Commander Hong Hua's new house, saw a pile of Hong Hua's clothes, and a long shirt of Bai Hongru, and understood everything in his heart, Bai Hongru must have abducted Hong Hua away.
Ximen Jian felt the seriousness of the problem, and it happened that Hao Jian, the head of the third regiment, was woken up at this time, and he brought people here.
Hao Jian had seen Ximen Jian during the day, he was very polite and admired Ximen Jian, and after saying a kind word, he hurriedly said to his soldiers: "Quickly call the sentry standing guard at the gate in." ”
After a while, the sentry came.
Ximen Jian asked, "Can your military commander walk through the door?" ”
The sentry replied, "No." ”
"Not really."
"Absolutely."
"Then Mr. Bai can pass by the door?"
"Yes."
"When?"
"Just a moment."
"What did he bring?"
"Didn't bring anything."
"Didn't bring anything, the commander didn't go with him?"
"......" Ximen Jian frowned and turned around in place a few times, and asked the sentry again: "Think about it carefully, did that Bai Hongru bring anything?" ”
"Oh yes, I'm ...... I remembered that Mr. Bai was wearing a red cloak, like a military commander's cloak, and the underside of the cloak ......"
"What's down there?"
"Like...... It seems to be bulging and carrying a big baggage. ”
"Baggage? What baggage? ”
"This ...... How would I know? But it looks pretty heavy. ”
"Okay, got it, let's go down."
Ximen Jian said to Hao Jian: "I'm sure that Bai Hongru has taken Commander Honghua down the mountain. Without further ado, you should immediately gather your team and go down the mountain to retrieve Commander Honghua. ”
Hao Jian hugged his fist at Ximen Kenyi and said, "Okay, little hero! We have heard about your heroic deeds, we listen to you, you will be our commander for the time being, and lead us to do it! ”
"No, no, no......" Ximen Jian said politely: "I'm just a mountain hunter who fights jackals, tigers and leopards, and I don't know how to do military, or you are responsible for yourself, I'm just helping......"
At this time, the commanders of the Changbai Mountain Anti-Japanese Women's Army, all regiments, battalions and companies stationed on Luluo Mountain rushed to gather in the square at the entrance of the military headquarters hall.
Dozens of torches have been lit, and the lights are bright.
Several regiment commanders lost their opinions for a while, and Hao Jian asked Ximen Jian: "Little hero, what do you say you should do?" ”
"This ......" Ximen Jian hesitated.
Hao Jian was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Oh, little hero, just say it, it's all burning your ass, don't be angry!" ”
"Okay, since that's the ......case," Ximen Jian said, walking up the steps, his expression was serious, his air was magnificent, like a little general, and he said loudly: "Sisters and brothers of the Changbai Mountain Anti-Japanese Women's Army, now that the military situation is in crisis, your Commander Honghua has been robbed by Bai Hongru and ...... down the mountain."
"Huh?" When the officers and soldiers heard this, they were all surprised.
Someone whispered, "How is that possible?" Our military commander is so strong in martial arts, how can he be robbed by others? ”
Someone didn't know much about Ximen Jian, and said: "What does this little hairy kid eat, why is he giving orders to us!" ”
"People are little hunters with golden hooks, don't you know?"
"Oh......"
"Everyone be quiet, be quiet, and listen to Ximen Jian!"
"Hehe...... Ximen Jian smiled, in fact, he had already heard the discussion of those people, but he didn't take it to heart, and said: "I suggest that you immediately send a team of cavalry to go down the mountain overnight to pursue Bai Hongru, the sooner the better." ”
Hao Jian hurriedly said: "Brothers of the Third Regiment, follow me on the horse!" ”
Hao Jian's third regiment, under the leadership of Hao Jian, immediately turned over and ran down the mountain.
Ximen Jian commanded again: "Now the little devils have surrounded Luluo Mountain, trying to eat your women's army. Now, I suggest that your brigade move to the back mountain immediately, and there must be no mistake, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
"This ......" Several female regiment commanders and female battalion commanders questioned Ximen Jian's words, and some people thought: This Ximen Jian is not very old, can his words be trusted?
