Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Robbers on the Way Home
Why was Hu Fei stunned? It's because of the food on the table! I've heard that the conditions of the eight roads are not very good, but I didn't expect it to be so bad! Wang Mengzi is a deputy brigade commander, this official is not small, and he is a general who entertains Hu Fei, a friendly army, why do you have to get a decent banquet, right? Hu Fei is not greedy for tongue, this is a matter of etiquette.
But now you look at what is on the table, cold wild vegetables, steamed sweet potatoes, pickles, green onion sauce, plus a pot of pumpkin soup and a few sweet potato noodles. After the initial stunned, Hu Fei glanced at Deputy Brigade Commander Wang, and the expression on his face stiffened a little. He felt that the other party put a table like this, but he didn't take him into account!
No matter how poor the troops are, you will eat these as a deputy brigade commander? Who believes! Do you think that I, the commander of the Decisive Army Column, am neither a trusted general, nor a close minister of Chief Yan, so I will not be sincere in entertaining you? So what did you invite me for? was not happy, and Hu Fei brought it out on his face.
Deputy Brigade Commander Wang saw the change in the expression on Hu Fei's face, "Does Commander Hu think these meals are too simple?" Hehe, this is also no way, the conditions of the Eighth Route Army really can't catch up with the national army. Well, in this way, you wait a minute. Xiao Wu, go and slaughter Xiaohua and stew it, and give it to Commander Hu. ”
"Yes!" The guard was stunned for a moment, then saluted and turned to leave. Hu Fei even saw the strange look on the guard's face.
"Wait a minute!" Hu Fei opened his mouth to stop the guard, "Little brother, please wait a minute." Deputy Brigade Commander Wang, what is Xiaohua? ”
"Oh, Xiaohua is a dog, the same flower dog that barked at you before you entered the door just now." Deputy Brigadier Wang's face was slightly embarrassed. There was no meat when the guests were entertained, and the guests gave their opinions, so they were slaughtered and stewed, which was still a little embarrassing to say.
Is that the little flower dog with black and white flowers and less than forty centimeters in length? Can you have two catties of meat after slaughtering? Hu Fei hurriedly waved his hand and refused, "Deputy Brigade Commander Wang doesn't have to be polite. Little brother, you should be busy, just go with you. We're not going to eat this dog meat today. A gentleman doesn't win people's love, and I think the little flower dog is also a pet raised by Deputy Brigade Commander Wang, right? How can I let you slaughter your dog just for a piece of meat? Don't bother, I think that's fine. ”
Picked up a piece of sweet potato and took a bite, "It's so sweet!" Hu Fei gave a thumbs up. Deputy Brigade Commander Wang also took a bite of a sweet potato, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
After discussing the matter of cooperating with the battle, and eating another green health dish, Hu Fei and Yuan Fang said goodbye. Deputy Brigade Commander Wang personally sent it to the gate of the barracks, and the two saluted each other and said goodbye.
Hu Fei turned over and jumped on the spotted horse, Yuan Fang jumped on the jujube red horse, the two of them patted their hips and dismounted, and the war horse shook its head, turned its hooves and flapped its palms and ran away. Deputy Brigade Commander Wang stood at the gate of the camp until he couldn't even see a figure, and then turned around and returned to the camp.
Two horses galloped along the mountain road, one after the other. Hu Fei deliberately wanted to make the spotted horse happy, so he didn't stop it, and the spotted horse ran faster and faster along the mountain road.
Fortunately, they were walking on a mountain road, and the Spotted Horse was a divine steed, but after all, it still did not gallop fast on the plains. The jujube red horse that Yuan Fang rode was also a rare good horse, although the bloodline may not be as pure as the Spotted Horse, but the speed was not slow, and he followed the Spotted Horse less than fifty meters behind him and never pulled it down.
After running for a while, Hu Fei slowed down the horse's speed, Yuan Fang followed from behind, and the two walked side by side.
"Yuan Fang, I didn't ask in detail in front of Yang Liben, what happened to your failure to save people?" When he asked this, Hu Fei looked ahead and didn't look at Yuan Fang, without the slightest hint of joy and anger on his face.
"Alas!" Yuan Fang sighed before speaking, "I took twenty good players to inquire all the way, and it took five days in a row to catch up with those people." Those people have good marksmanship and average kung fu. We didn't see the old lady when we caught up. As soon as the two sides met, they exchanged hands, and they couldn't see it, and one of the leaders revealed his identity. It turned out that these people belonged to the Military Command Bureau, and the kidnapping of the old lady was an order. ”
"And then?"
"Later? Then I asked them to hand over the old lady. As a result, the leader said that the old lady had died three days earlier. The old man was too old to withstand the bumps of the long distance, and he fell ill halfway through. The leader of the team said that they also looked for Lang Zhong to show it, but they didn't get cured, so they left the hairpin. I don't know if it's true or not, but they have the documents of the Military Control Bureau, and I can't use them strongly. There was no way, so I came back with the hairpin to hand in the order. ”
"It's true." Hu Fei's eyes were a little dark, "With the news of the military commander, they must have known about the uprising of the puppet army and joined our army." The old lady has lost its role, and the gang should have let them go a long time ago. One more day is to help the old lady heal. Yang Li wanted to sit on the ground and raise the price, but he didn't expect to put his mother's life into it. Alas, the old lady can be regarded as atoning for his son who was a puppet soldier. ”
Having said that, the two of them have little interest in talking. I was hurrying forward silently, when suddenly a few large stones rolled down from the cliff next to me, and rolled down the cliff to the mountain road! The spotted horse neighed in fright, and its two front hooves almost didn't throw Hu Fei off.
"Phew!" Hu Fei hurriedly took the war horse to look at the mountain, is this a landslide? Although he didn't hit anyone, he muttered psychologically.
On the dirt slope next to it, "Wow! "Jumped out of the two of them. The two of them couldn't tell how old they were, they were unkempt, and each of them had a pistol in their hands. As soon as they jumped up, the two stopped in front of Hu Fei's horse, "Stop, don't go!" ”
Hu Fei squinted his eyes at the two, not only was he not nervous, but he felt a little cordial. This is his old job, but now it is being used by others on his head! This is called the white cloud and the dog, and the world is impermanent. Hu Fei smiled and smiled happily, "You two, are you robbers?" ”
"That's right! We didn't have money to eat, so we made this sale. Take off your clothes, the horses stay, you two get out of here!" The bearded robber stared at Hu Fei with unreasonable and arrogant eyes.
"If you don't have money to eat, you're robbing the road?" Hu Fei gave a lesson to the two robbers with a straight face, "Since you have done this business, you should be professional, and you can be considered a qualified robber only if you have mastered all the knowledge you should master." Do you know the rules of robbery? Do you know how to sing a mountain song about robbery? You didn't learn anything, and you came out to rob the road? Isn't that a net shame for the Green Forest Road? ”
"Singing mountain songs? What kind of mountain songs do the robbers sing? Can you sing? ”
