Xu Shijiu looked at Leng Er and asked, "Old Leng, have you figured it out?" ”

Leng Er didn't dare to look directly at Xu Shijiu's eyes, lowered his head and said: "Commander, I'm used to living a carefree life, I'm really not used to living in the barracks, the rules in the barracks are too strict, prostitution is not allowed, money is not allowed, and alcohol is not allowed to drink casually. ”

After the formal reorganization of the 19th detachment, military discipline and regulations began to be regularized, and the officers and soldiers of the Longkou Garrison Brigade of the former Imperial Association Army and the bandits who came down from Erlong Mountain began to have problems. So every once in a while, someone sneaked away.

According to the regulations of the national army, all deserters who were caught and returned were shot.

Xu Shijiu was actually already open to these veterans and bandits who secretly escaped, and after they were caught, they were only whipped thirty in public, not shot.

Leng Er would come to him and ask to leave, Xu Shijiu had actually expected it.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui has become a climate, and there is no need to borrow the liliang of the Erlongshan bandits at all, so it is not a big deal to really let the two bandits Leng Er and Scar Er leave the barracks, and they promised to let them go, and they can still make a good impression, and the two sides may cooperate again in the future.

However, being a bandit is not a long-term solution after all, and when the War of Resistance is won in the future, whether it is the Kuomintang restoring the rivers and mountains, or the Communist Party establishing another government in the Japanese-occupied area, they will not let the bandits run rampant, so for the sake of Leng Er's future, Xu Shijiu still feels that they should be persuaded to do so.

At that moment, Xu Shijiu persuaded again: "Lao Leng, you have to think clearly, although the barracks are hard, they can't force people to die, as long as you survive this most difficult time, and when you adapt to the life of the barracks, you won't feel bitter anymore, you see that the veterans from our original 19th Brigade and the soldiers of the L regiment are not all very comfortable?" ”

Leng Er lowered his head and kept silent, the reason why he wanted to leave, the hard life in the military camp was only the superficial reason, the real reason was that Xu Shijiu had seized his military power, and now although he had the title of deputy regiment commander, there was no soldier under his hands, and the battalion commander, company commander, and platoon commander below didn't hurt him at all.

Xu Shijiu then persuaded: "If you leave now and go back to Erlong Mountain to be bandits, you will be happy, happy and happy, what can you do in the future?" You can't be bandits for the rest of your life, can you? There will always be an end to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and when little Japan is defeated, whether it is the National Army or the Communist Army, I am afraid that it will not be able to tolerate you.

Leng Er really hesitated, as a bandit, he had the opportunity to accept Zhao'an to become an officer and soldier, that was really a blessing that the ancestors could only get by burning high incense, otherwise Song Jiang Weishenme in the Water Margin should not let go of the king of Haode Mountain, so he would have to be recruited? Leng Er actually didn't want to go back to Erlong Mountain to be a bandit, he just wanted to get back his own people.

It's just that if you want to get your own people back at the cost of losing your identity as officers and soldiers and becoming bandits again, Leng Er has to weigh whether it's worth it.

Seeing that Leng Er was still hesitating there, Xu Shijiu turned his gaze to Ye Lao Mi, who was sitting at the bottom of Leng Er, and asked, "Old Mi, what do you think?" ”

Ye Laomi stood up and said coldly: "Big brother, let's stay, the commander is right, it's useless to go back to Erlong Mountain to be a bandit, only to stay and fight little Japan is the real man, and then to say, although it is hard to work in the military camp, we are all men who are begging for a life with our heads, we are not afraid of death, and we can be afraid of this."

Let Ye Laomi persuade him like this, Leng Er also made up his mind, stood up and said, "Okay, let's stay"

"Oh, that's right." Xu Jiujiu came over and patted Leng Er on the shoulder, and said, "Actually, I know what Lao Leng is thinking in your heart, aren't you just complaining that I took away your military power?" You don't want to think about it, if the army still asks you to bring it, can you bring it? You can't manage yourself now, can you lead a good soldier? ”

Leng Er rarely blushed a little, he had to admit that what Xu Shijiu said was the truth, and now hand over the troops to him to bring, nine times out of ten it is still a group of bandits, as the old saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, mice give birth to burrows in the ground, and those brought out by bandits are bandits, and it is impossible to bring them into officers and soldiers.

"Okay, you go back and think about it again, and then talk more to your brothers." Xu Nineteen said.

Leng Er and Ye Laomi left Xu Shijiu's office with a scowl on their faces, and as soon as the two of them went out, they saw the black blind man of the guard company commander rushing over from the corridor like a mountain moving mountains, and his heavy footsteps made the corridor floor sway, Leng Er dodged and avoided it, but Ye Laomi, who was behind, couldn't dodge and was taken to the ground.

"This black blind man, what's wrong with a sudden storm, doesn't he have long eyes?"

Ye Laomi got up and rubbed her buttocks, and followed Leng Er to scold and scold.

As soon as Xu Jiujiu sat back in his chair, the black blind man rushed in, and then looked at Xu Jiu, pointing outside, but repeatedly chanting the same sentence in his mouth: "Captain, Captain, Captain......"

Xu Shijiu frowned and asked, "What's the matter, Heizi, what's wrong?" ”

"Outside, outside, outside." The black blind man pointed out and gasped, "Hurry up, hurry up." ”

As he spoke, the black blind man rushed over and pulled Xu 19 up from the chair, and then pushed Xu 19 out.

Xu Shijiu was confused by the black blind man, so he could only passively follow outside, out of the office, through the corridor, and then turn a wall, and then in front of the front yard, the headquarters was originally the county government of Longkou County, and there were all flowers, rockeries, pavilions and pavilions in the yard, but it was a square facing the gate.

When Xu Shijiu was pushed by the black blind man, a large group of people were walking through the gate.

Walking in the front was Gao Shenxing, then Li Zihan, then Shu Tongwen, and then Li Mu, all four of them looked at Xu Shijiu with strange eyes.

Gao Shenxing, Li Zihan, Shu Tongwen and Li Mu are all veterans who have followed Xu 19 since the Battle of Songhu, and they are also the only few veterans left in the original 19th Brigade, they are black blind people, and they only joined the 19th Brigade on the way to the Songhu rout, and they have not followed Xu 19 for as long as these four people.

Xu Jiu became more and more confused, not knowing what they were doing, but his intuition told Xu Jiu that something seemed to have happened, and this matter had something to do with him.

But this shouldn't be a bad thing, just look at their expressions.

Xu Jiu muttered in his heart, and continued to be pushed forward passively by the black blind man.

Closely behind Li Mu were Wang Yidao, Liao Yaohua, calves, old camels, Jiu Ye and the little madman, all of them were all beaming, and the little madman was even more grinning to the root of his ears, after the little madman dodged away, it was Cao Jiao, Gu Yaqin and Yu Huan who walked in next.

The three female soldiers were also beaming, but they were close together, as if they were covering something.

"Hey, I said, what the hell are you guys doing? Will they all take me to blame? Xu Jiu said angrily.

The three female soldiers smiled at Xu Shijiu, and then slowly moved out of the way from the middle to both sides.

A slender shadow appeared from the cover of the three female soldiers, Xu Shijiu's eyes looked over, the anger on his face froze in an instant, the whole person seemed to be immobilized, and he froze there, Xu Shijiu looked at the front stupidly, not knowing what day it was, but his eyes revealed all kinds of tenderness.

Jiaxi, it turned out to be Jiaxi? It turned out to be my favorite

Yu Jiaxi raised her head slowly, and the same tenderness was revealed in her eyes.

"Jiaxi?" Xu Shijiu called softly and opened his arms towards Yu Jiaxi.

Yu Jiaxi couldn't control the joy in her heart anymore, rushed into Xu Shijiu's arms, and opened her arms to hug Xu Shixi's neck, tears, like pearls with broken strings, flowed down Yu Jiaxi's pretty face, how many days and nights, how many gloomy and sad, how many partings, at this moment, all turned into green smoke.

Ah Jiu, my love, I will never leave you again, again.
