On the third day, after Liu Xiao, who had returned from inspecting the surrounding regiments, held a four-member summary meeting, he asked the adjutant to summon Kuang Shimin, commander of the engineer battalion.

After a while, Kuang Shimin reported in, and Liu Xiao asked An Yi how was the third company now? Kuang Shimin's old face turned red, and he said apologetically that he hadn't been there since the fight that night.

Liu Xiao quietly waved Kuang Shimin away, and sighed slightly to Xu Tingyao, Hu Shusen and Jiang Dingwen:

"This Kuang Shimin is all good, but he is too timid, no wonder, now the whole division is talking about An Yi and the three of them beating more than 20 soldiers, maybe this matter has been passed to the commander, and now we have time to take a look, so that we don't know if you ask the peak."

The three chiefs stood up and followed Liu Xiao downstairs, and Xu Tingyao asked Jiang Dingwen: "Third Brother Ming is more familiar with An Yi, do you think An Yi's actions will be premeditated?" ”

"No, I don't think so! I still know An Yi well, he treats people with sincerity, is generous and open-minded, and can talk to almost everyone in the whole Huangpu, although he likes to make some pranks, but he is never ambiguous in every major event. Again, before he came to report, he didn't know how many soldiers he had under him? What kind of soldiers are they? So I judged that the two dozen or so veterans bullied him when he was young, and wanted to give him a dismount, but he was cleaned up, which is really funny when you think about it. Jiang Dingwen said with a smile on his face.

Liu Xiao interjected a sentence: "At that time, I paid attention to the traces of chaos at the scene, and deduced that there was a group fight on both sides of them. After a while, I remembered, everyone may not have noticed Hu Jialin next to An Yi, this Hu Jialin, who served as an equestrian instructor in Huangpu, has never been mentioned by anyone, this time An Yi called Shusen and strongly recommended it, Shusen and I discussed it and felt that it was feasible, because our engineer battalion was indeed short of people, and soon there would be pack horses to distribute various engineer troops, so I agreed, now I deeply doubt that this Hu Jialin is a hidden master, otherwise with An Yi and Yin Jinan's ability, It's definitely not the opponent of those veteran ruffian soldiers, so I've been thinking for the past two days, maybe we have picked up a treasure, if it's really a master, it means that An Yi is a kid who knows people. ”

"Makes sense."

Hu Shusen echoed: "After we get there later, it will be clear to call one or two soldiers to ask, I hope that their officers and soldiers will not be resentful because of this, otherwise it will be difficult to do!" ”

As soon as the four commanders arrived at the gate of the barracks, a veteran standing guard immediately raised his hand to salute and greeted loudly. Although the personnel were not equipped with a pistol, the veteran's armed belt was meticulously tied and looked energetic, except for the two eyes purring and turning, the whole body was almost impeccable, and the contrast with the previous sloppy image was quite obvious.

Hu Shusen, the chief of staff, stepped forward and asked kindly: "Since you moved in, you have never stood guard, when did you start standing guard?" ”

"Sir, since the day before yesterday, we all have to stand guard in the order of shifts." The veteran's voice was loud, obviously informing the people inside that a commander had come to inspect it.

Liu Xiao has been fighting horses for many years, where does he not know this trick of the ruffian soldiers in front of him? After giving the order to "take a break", he walked inside, and was astonished to see the clean and new barracks.

The sharp-eyed Jiang Dingwen pointed to the seven veterans under the longan tree who turned his back to him, and laughed:

"Didn't expect that, did you? The seven old ruffians actually squatted in a neat row, each with at least seven or eight green bricks on their heads, but they didn't see a company platoon commander beside them, haha! Obviously, An Yi has subdued these old ruffians...... Let's go over and ask and see what tricks they're playing. ”

Liu Xiao and the others were greatly interested, and walked under the longan tree to look at the seven old ruffians who were squatting with ** blue bricks on their heads and soaking their military uniforms with sweat, Liu Xiao's adjutant saw that the seven soldiers did not react, and hurriedly stepped forward and ordered loudly:

"Lizheng—"

Who knew that a few veterans with their backs to a group of officials not only squatted still, but instead scolded with gossip and foul language: "I your ancestors!" Dangling Lao Tzu again? Wait until you get through these last few minutes, and see if Lao Tzu doesn't tear your mouth apart......"

"Don't fucking think that if you change to a sissy, I won't know that it's your grandson who is making trouble......"

"Dude, don't be fooled! A few unvirtuous turtle sons take turns to be cheap brothers, just want to see us make mistakes and be punished by bricks, calm down, you must calm down! If you stay up until the time comes, you will find out this immoral grandson, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he can escape to his grandmother's house......"

"Yes, digging three feet into the ground will be dragged out and beaten up, his uncle's ......"

Hearing these vulgar words, the adjutant was so angry that his face was flushed and he didn't dare to step forward and kick his feet to get angry, Liu Xiao looked at each other several times, and then laughed.

An Yi and the three heard the familiar laughter, and quickly rushed out of the barracks to report loudly, Yin Jinan secretly signaled the seven punished veterans to hurry up, and the veterans threw down the bricks on their heads one after another and made a string of noisy sounds, stood up and turned around to see that their faces were blue with fright, and they stood at a loss one by one, not knowing what to do, after all, according to military regulations and regulations, the lightest insult to the chief must be locked up for three days.

After Liu Xiao returned the salute, he walked to the seven sweating veterans and issued a series of passwords, and the veterans were also neatly arranged, but everyone had pain and tension on their faces.

Liu Xiao looked at the nameplate on the chest of the veteran at the head of the platoon, and ordered loudly: "Senior Private Li Shunping is out of the ranks!" ”

"Yes!"

The stout Li Shunping strode forward and stood straight.

Liu Xiao asked emotionlessly, "Tell me, what are you doing?" ”

Li Shunping hesitated slightly, but still answered truthfully, but his voice had no strength:

"Report to the commander, the seven of us ran away first in the fight that day, and we were punished by the company commander, and Company Commander An said...... Saying that the seven of us have no righteousness, throw down our brothers and run away first, and let us squat for half an hour every day from today onwards, and whoever stands up or drops one brick will add one more brick, and drop two bricks for ten more minutes...... I didn't know it was the chief who arrived just now, so we don't have a way to accumulate virtue...... I beg your pardon, sir. ”
