"Zhang Lan?" Looking at the woman who was nested in the ox cart outside the city gate, Tang Lei, who was riding on horseback, had words in his mouth, the woman who was inadvertently saved on the road did not exist in his memory for a long time, for Tang Lei, the troublesome woman was just an accident. Tang Lei thought for a while before remembering who this woman who called herself Zhang Lan was sacred, "I remember, isn't it the woman who was saved in the middle of the road and stayed in Xie Jiaping, how did she find here?" Tang Lei obviously didn't know that Zhang Lan's real purpose for coming here was to see him, he just felt that this woman was very troublesome.

Zhang Lan and the others waited outside the city gate until noon, and Tang Lei and his party hurried back to the city on horseback, and he went to Qinglongping, which was more than ten miles away from the county seat early in the morning. As early as after Zhao Zhi took Zhangwu County for the second time, Zhao Zhi made a very detailed survey of the terrain around the county, and Qinglongping, sandwiched between the two mountains, was an excellent place. Qinglongping is a wasteland, not only is it easy to hide here, but the most important thing is that the area here is large enough, and it is one and a half as big as the airport in Xi'an.

The rich families of Zhangwu County made enough efforts to help Tang Lei recruit people, and in only two days, thousands of people gathered outside the county, so early this morning, Tang Lei took those people to Qinglongping to level the ground. If it weren't for the fact that he still had something to deal with in the county seat, I am afraid that Zhang Lan and the others would have to wait until the moonlit treetops before they could see Tang Lei's shadow. "Our captain said, let you follow into the city, don't run around after entering the city, go directly to the barracks in the west of the city" Tang Lei whispered a few words to a mercenary, and rode his horse into the city by himself, leaving Zhang Lan and his party to follow the mercenary who passed the word behind slowly.

"What kind of smugness, the appearance of a bandit, it is probably not a good thing" Looking at Tang Lei's back, Zhang Lan, who was holding the quilt and nesting in the ox cart, was not calm, and despised Tang Lei in his heart, if Zhang Lan's eyes were lethal, I am afraid that Tang Lei would have fallen from a horse with serious injuries. The young mercenary on horseback held the saddle bridge and turned his head to look at the woman on the ox cart, he, like Tang Lei, had no effect on Zhang Lan, and after looking at it a few more times, he remembered that this woman seemed to have been rescued by them from the Japanese soldiers.

"Donald is back, not only is he back, but he is also bringing back a woman. The woman came back from the ox cart, followed by dozens of crop men, wasn't it the daughter-in-law that Boss Tang snatched back from the outside village, and those crop men came to see off their relatives? "The guard post of the guard barracks at first just said that Tang Lei brought back a young woman, and when the rumors about him were known to Tang Lei, Zhang Lan, who was sent into the barracks by an ox cart, had become his daughter-in-law who snatched back, and Tang Lei became a guy like a king and a tiger, specializing in robbing relatives.

"Damn, these guys are all fed and supported, is Lao Tzu so bad?" After listening to Zhang Dongkui's jokes, Tang Lei's face was black, and his face was blackened by anger. The woman named Zhang Lan and him were only a few faces, and they didn't say a few words in total, how could this become the daughter-in-law he snatched back, if it weren't for the woman under the banner of the Eighth Route Army, Tang Lei would never let them enter the city, let alone enter the barracks in the west of the city.

"Okay, let's wash our face and eat first" Zhang Dongkui threw the towel in his hand to Tang Lei, "But the woman named Zhang Lan is not bad, she looks like she is knowledgeable, she seems to be a woman who has gone to a foreign school, if you can really find such a daughter-in-law to take home, your father and mother may be happy" After Zhang Lan entered the barracks, Zhang Dongkui, who received the news, took the opportunity to take a few looks, to be honest, Zhang Lan's little look is not bad, at least it is more than enough for Tang Lei.

"Less, people are the Eighth Route Army, what are we doing, maybe one day we will die in the wilderness" Tang Lei wiped a few times on his face with a towel, and muttered self-deprecatingly, Tang Lei's family members were sent to the Kunming base, and the bounties he got from the previous missions were left to his family to live, and now he has no worries, he just wants to follow Zhao Zhi to fight well, and he doesn't want to think about other things at all.

After Zhang Dongkui heard Tang Lei's muttering, he immediately glared at him, ", the Eighth Route Army is not a person, if it is a person, she will get married and have children to inherit the lineage, I still don't believe that their Eighth Route Army is in charge of the sky and the earth, and they are also in charge of people becoming their own children." You will give a word today, whether you are willing or not, as long as you nod, I will do the rest of the things, it's a big deal to move out of our husband, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that the Eighth Route Army will not give face to our husband "Zhang Dongkui is a bad person, he doesn't care about Zhang Lan's identity as the Eighth Route Army, as long as it is what his brother likes, he will rob it back."

"The more you talk, the more boundless it becomes, I see that you are also idle, if you are really fine, take a group out of the city to go around, take a look at the surrounding terrain by the way, and get some defense lines or something" Tang Lei directly drove out Zhang Dongkui, who was smiling cheaply. Although Zhao Zhi had explained before leaving, don't friction with all forces in Shanxi, as long as it is an anti-Japanese armed force, it is a good object, but Tang Lei just can't be interested in contacting the Eighth Route Army, if it weren't for the pale Zhang Lan who looked pale and pitiful outside the city just now, he wouldn't have allowed Zhang Lan and them to enter the city.

After being examined by Tang Lei's military doctor with them, Zhang Lan was helped into Tang Lei's headquarters by two mothers-in-law who were temporarily hired, this is Zhang Lan's request, and she must immediately figure out who this group of people who captured the county is sacred. Everything in the barracks was new to Zhang Lan, the equipment on the soldiers, the way they trained, and the foreign soldiers who appeared in the barracks from time to time, all of which made Zhang Lan's mind full of questions, and she couldn't wait to figure them out.

"Here, sit down, eat first, let's talk after eating" I don't know why, Tang Lei couldn't help but lower his voice when he saw the weak Zhang Lan stepping into the headquarters, and his tone of voice softened a lot. The two mothers-in-law who helped Zhang Lan desperately held back a smile, about the rumors about Tang Lei and Zhang Lan, the two mothers-in-law who helped in the kitchen had also heard of it, and now it seems that it is not hearsay. When this Chief Tang talks to people, he either stares or scolds, when did he talk to people in such a good voice.

"Your food is really good, it's all snatched from the city" Looking at the braised pork and other dishes on the long table, Zhang Lan endured hunger and looked at Tang Lei who had just grabbed the bowl with a cold face, their Eighth Route Army has a rule that they don't take a stitch from the masses, so that she and bandit-like guys can sit and eat together, they can't do it at all, Zhang Lan suddenly had the idea of turning around and leaving.

"Oh, little sister-in-law, you are wrong to blame your man" Before Tang Lei could speak, the mother-in-law standing on Zhang Lan's left laughed, "The objects used in the barracks are all bought by your men with their money, and the rich families in the city also sent a few pigs, but that is all custom, and the first two times have done so, don't treat your own men as bandits"

The mother-in-law's unintentional words made Zhang Lan blush instantly, what is their own man, don't they regard themselves as the wife of the man in front of them? Tang Lei was also embarrassed, there were already rumors flying in the barracks, and he originally thought that if he didn't pay attention to it, maybe no one would say it again, how could even the mother-in-law who helped the kitchen know about it? The two mothers-in-law looked at Tang Lei, who was bowing their heads, and Zhang Lan, who was blushing, and glanced at each other with the eyes of the people who came over, then turned around and left with a smile, and closed the door of the headquarters before leaving.

The sound of the door closing woke up the two silent people, and the confused Zhang Lan quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Tang Lei, Tang Lei sat in a daze with a piece of braised pork on the chopsticks, which made Zhang Lan laugh out loud, and the embarrassing atmosphere eased a little. "You, let's eat, the wound will heal quickly when you are full" Tang Lei didn't know what to say, so he had to give Zhang Lan a big bowl of rice and push it over, and the two of them sat on both sides of the long table and ate silently, which was quite a bit of a dissociation between the Chu River and the Han world.

Tang Lei couldn't count how many times he wiped his sweat, Zhang Lan put down the bowl when he was full, and took the opportunity to call someone to serve tea, Tang Lei finally opened the closed door. "Drink tea, this is sent by the rich man in the county, saying that it is this year's new tea, you taste it, I don't know how to drink tea" The door of the headquarters was wide open, looking at the mercenaries passing by from time to time outside the door, Tang Lei's anxious heart finally settled down, and he didn't add any more caution in his tone, anyway, he and this woman had nothing.

Tang Lei's tone as usual made Zhang Lan roll her eyes in her heart, and said that she had been misunderstood, shouldn't this man give himself an explanation? Looking at Tang Lei's upright black face, Zhang Lan was glad that she was just here to talk about business, if she really wanted to marry such a man, it would not be boring. Zhang Lan's hand holding the tea cup shook slightly, and she almost didn't splash the hot tea she had just brewed on her hand, how could she think of getting married when she thought about it? Isn't it that he was also influenced by those two mothers-in-law? Thinking of this, Zhang Lan glared at Tang Lei fiercely.

Tang Lei, who was glared at by Zhang Lan, didn't know that this woman was arranging himself in his heart, he was just thinking about the true intention of the Eighth Route Army in his heart, according to the relationship between his husband and the Eighth Route Army, even if the Eighth Route Army wanted to send someone to Zhangwu County, it should be contacted by radio first, and he couldn't afford to send such a woman to run upside down. If he hadn't seen Zhang Lan being hunted down and killed by the Japanese puppet army, Tang Lei would have thought that Zhang Lan was a spy sent by the Japanese, so when Zhang Lan secretly arranged Tang Lei, the silent Tang Lei also thought about Zhang Lan's intention in his heart.
