Chapter 9: Goodbye Peony
"They want to see me?" After Gao Quan heard the news, he was very interested. He had never done it before to negotiate in the cottage of these bandits, and he really wanted to see this kind of rare thing. Huang Sanpao can frequently go in and out of the bandit cottage without incident, he doesn't believe that he is not even as good as an old bandit leader.
Originally, Qian Sixi wanted to persuade him to come, but when he saw that Gao Quan's interest was so high, it was not easy to ruin his interest, and finally Qian Sixi personally selected twenty guards, escorted by short guns and daggers, Qian Sixi, Liu Qi, and Xiao Cai followed in person, went out of the camp gate, led by Huang Sanpao, and rushed directly to Jinji Ridge.
From here to Jinji Ridge dozens of miles of road is not close, the group of people each has a horse, beat the horse and whip, more than an hour to the Jinji Ridge to the bottom.
On the way up the mountain, you can't ride a horse, leaving five people to guard the horses, and the others go up the steps and go straight to the top of the mountain, Jinji Ridge.
The mood of the group can be described as different. Gao Quan purely reported the idea of traveling in the mountains and rivers, and he had to stop and take a look at anything rare when he saw it. Huang Sanpao revisited his hometown, his mood was complicated and indescribable, he was the owner of this mountain at the beginning, but now he has changed to someone else, but he appears as a mountain worshipper. Fortunately, the identity of this Baishan is not low, and it is the official army who represents the government to recruit An. As for Qian Sixi and the others, it is needless to say that they are more careful, and they must be vigilant when passing by every tree and every stone that seems to be able to hide people.
The mountain road is quiet, there are no bandits patrolling the mountain, and no one shouts from above, even the birds that usually chirp and always chirp, it seems that they have also taken sick leave collectively today, and everyone can only hear the sound of whirring and panting when they climb the mountain.
By the time we arrived at the original Toudo Gate, it was now empty, and there was no large wooden gate or any remnants of the battle, as if there had never been a battle here. The bare is a platform, and there are two small bandits with rifles on their backs, and when they saw Gao Quan and their group, they were obviously stunned for a moment, and wanted to take off their guns, but they hesitated for a moment but held back.
Gao Quan's entourage was all dressed in military uniforms today, and the epaulettes of the colonel of the government army were shiny on the collar. He was awarded the colonel only after he took over as the head of the Independent Regiment, and when he was in the 256th Regiment, he always wore a major collar badge.
Wearing a holster at his waist, wearing a yellow-green military uniform and leather boots, this is Gao Quan's dress at this time. No matter how good the independent regiment is, it is still a member of the central regular army like the Ninth Army, and as the regiment commander, there is still no shortage of skills.
The two bandits who guarded the door did not salute, but after politely asking Gao Quan's name, they led everyone to climb up to the main peak.
There is also a walled wall on the main peak, and inside the wall is the main site of Jinjiling Cottage, where Huang Sanpao and his hundreds of thieves lived at the beginning. At this time, the gate of the fortress opened, and a large group of bandits and bandits with loaded guns stood outside the door. One person in the middle of the crowd was the most conspicuous, this person was not tall, but in the surrounding bandits, he looked petite and delicate. Dressed in black practice clothes, with a fiery red cloak on his shoulders, and a fiery red turban on his head, Danfeng's eyes were full of anger, Liu Ye's eyebrows were majestic, his small nose was a little more playful, and his bright red lips revealed the perseverance of his character.
Seeing the red peony, Gao Quan was stunned at the time, isn't the red peony in Qingfeng Village? How did she get here? Qingfeng Village is not far away from Jinjiling, there are always hundreds of miles of land, right? Looking at the appearance of these people, it seems that they are all Red Peony's subordinates, she led the whole cottage of people and horses, ran hundreds of miles, and found Jinjiling, is she here to find herself? Gao Quan shook his head slightly, driving this ridiculous thought out of his head.
The red peony outside the gate of the village obviously also saw Gao Quan. After Gao Quan stopped, Red Peony walked over quickly, staring straight at Gao Quan with his eyes, and a layer of water vapor quickly spread in his big eyes, "You, you, me." "Red Peony was excited, you and I couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time, and tears flowed down when I saw it. The thieves behind him watched in surprise at the change in their big bosses' expressions, and they couldn't understand what kind of wind this vicious and ruthless mother-in-law was smoking today.
"Hong is at home, and he is a guest from afar. Gao came all the way here, so let's just let us stand outside, okay? Why don't you let us in for tea? "In front of the public, Gao Quan should also pay attention to the impact, although these words are a bit of a suspicion of covering up his ears and stealing the bell, aren't people like this, it is better to cover up a little bit on his face.
As soon as he heard Gao Quan's words, he knew that now was not the time to talk about his personal affairs, so he quickly raised his hand and touched his eyes, and leaned to the side, "Please, Camp Commander Gao, please sit on the mountain." She didn't seem to know that Gao Quan had been promoted to the head of the regiment.
Gao Quan and Red Peony walked into the cottage side by side, and everyone followed. Huang Sanpao's eyes swept left and right, wanting to see if the cottage had changed much. At this glance, although the cottage has become almost unrecognizable, it is also classified and orderly, and the whole cottage is obviously more suitable for life than when he was originally on the mountain.
Red Peony led a group of people into the Juyi Hall, and after the guests and hosts were seated, Gao Quan first looked around, and then asked Red Peony with interest: "Master Hong, how do you know that I am coming?" I also specially took people to the gate of the village to greet him, and it was so grand, how embarrassing it was. ”
Battalion Commander Gao laughed. Since Yingying has settled on this mountain, there is naturally eyeliner around. As soon as Battalion Commander Gao entered the mountain, I knew it. When Leader Huang came last time, he once said the name of his commander, and as soon as I heard it, I felt familiar, and Battalion Commander Gao turned out to be the same name, so I suspected that it was the same person, but Leader Huang said that his commander was Commander Gao, which was a little different from Battalion Commander Gao, and Yingying never dared to confirm it. When I saw it today, it was really the high battalion commander who saved my life. "Hong is so polite, what does it not save lives, Gao only occasionally passed by to help a little favor. Boss Hong, what Battalion Commander Huang said, what do you think of the matter of letting your brothers from this gang join our army? Gao Quan still wants to finalize this major matter before anything else.
"Whatever Battalion Commander Gao says, Yingying naturally has nothing to do. Since you're here, why don't you eat first? As he spoke, he gestured to a small bandit next to him, who had not had much time to run out, and the table was filled with wine and food one after another.
Gao Quan and Red Peony, what else is there to say? From the moment Gao Quan said that he wanted Red Peony's subordinates to join the Independent Regiment, this matter was settled.
After the meal, they talked about what they had experienced after they were separated, anyway, Gao Quan had been fighting with the devils, and the red peony was because of the two devils, and Qingfeng Village couldn't stay anymore. Soon after Gao Quan left, the devil sent a large team of men and horses to sweep Qingfeng Village, but the red peony could not resist the enemy, so he had to lead the cottage brothers to transfer. I heard that there are many cottages in this mountainous area, and the life of the dry bandits is not bad, so I brought my men here. After coming, he soon found that the terrain of Jinjiling was dangerous, and he did not help to station, so he easily occupied this mountain. Then Huang Sanpao went up the mountain to recruit An, and after the popular peony heard that Huang Sanpao's chief was also called Gao Quan, he proposed to see this Gao Quan. The first is to comfort the pain of lovesickness, and second, even if she must join the official army, she also hopes to mix under Gao Quan.
The two of them are in love with each other, and they have their own charming taste. After two days of playing in Jinji Ridge, Red Peony led the whole class of Qingfeng Village to join the independent group with Gao Quan.
