Commander Qi thought that she had come to borrow a car again, and said politely: "I will order you to go down, you will use the car in the future, and let them drive it directly to you without my permission." ”

Li Chengjing said: "My niece didn't come to borrow a car this time, she had a difficult thing and wanted to ask Uncle Qi for help, I don't know, is it inconvenient to go to the inner room to talk?" ”

Commander Qi was slightly stunned, and the two entered the room together, and Commander Qi asked the left and right to go down first.

Li Chengjing immediately told him what she saw last night, and she also mentioned that she hoped that he would send troops to suppress the bandits.

Commander Qi pondered for a long time, but still said: "Miss, please forgive me for being blunt, this is not our business, we really don't need to worry about this idleness." "Commander Qi sits on one side, and he has his own way of commanding troops to govern the city, even Li Qiyu can't interfere too much, let alone Li Chengjing. He just respects Li Chengjing, and there is no need to cater to her thoughts.

Li Chengjing told him what she thought in her heart truthfully, Commander Qi hesitated a little, always felt that this matter could not hinder Li Dashuai's grand hegemony, and did not understand why Li Chengjing was too worried about this.

Li Chengjing couldn't move him for a while, and she couldn't force him, so she compromised and asked him to send someone to inquire about the situation of these bandits, and then make a calculation.

Commander Qi has long heard the people around Li Dashuai comment on Li Chengjing, one of which is that Li Chengjing is stubborn and strong by nature, and what she insists on doing is that Li Dashuai will not persuade her, but now it seems that she has no intention of leaving it alone.

It's just that she didn't force her with her identity, and it was still not good to refuse her this little favor of finding out the news. I was really curious about how Li Chengjing cared so much about this matter, and she didn't hide her thoughts, and asked her directly to understand, if there was really a reason why she had to send troops, he would also consider it as appropriate.

Li Chengjing said: "What my niece said just now is sincere, of course, there are some personal selfishness, I can't tell each other for the time being, after Uncle Qi sends someone to inquire about the news and comes back, I will definitely make it clear, it is up to you whether you can send troops or not, Chengjing will never make you embarrassed." ”

Commander Qi said that he would send someone to investigate immediately, and there would be a result tomorrow. Li Chengjing got up to say goodbye and made an appointment to come back to the house tomorrow for details.

On Monday morning, they didn't have to go to political education classes anymore, had breakfast, and went directly to the training ground to assemble. On the way, Li Chengjing told Chen Zui and Duan Shaoling about going to Qi Mansion yesterday, thinking that she would go to Qi Mansion again after class in the afternoon.

Fifteen minutes earlier, Instructor Liu arrived. After everyone gathered, they waited for Instructor Liu's next instructions.

Instructor Liu first summarized their situation on Doulong Island, and praised the students who passed the test in the end. He did not criticize those who failed halfway, but made an objective evaluation, pointed out the reasons for their failure, that is, those who passed the test, and also said their shortcomings, hoping that they would strive for excellence and do better next time, without becoming complacent.

This summary meeting lasted for more than half an hour, and Instructor Liu said as they lowered their heads and pondered their weaknesses......

Instructor Liu changed his words and said: "Next, you are going to start a new test, I said that you will not train on the training ground in the next time, there will be a variety of different tests waiting for you in front." ”

Compared with the nervousness and fear last time, they can't wait to know what the next test is, and the students who failed the first time will be even more ashamed.

Instructor Liu said: "There is one thing you should not know, Guicheng has poured in a group of refugees in the past two days, and it is a village on the border between Guicheng and Nanbin that has been occupied by bandits, which will cause them to be displaced. ”

Except for the three of them, the rest of them all shook their heads and said they didn't know. Since Instructor Liu mentioned it, they vaguely guessed that this test must be related to this matter.

"The school is ready to send troops to exterminate this gang of bandits, and I want you all to join this anti-bandit activity to regain the lost homes for the suffering people."

"You come with me."

Instructor Liu took them to the shooting training ground and equipped each of them with a gun and a short knife. Lu Baiting reversed the head of the gun, and Instructor Liu suddenly said: "Be careful, this is a real bullet." Lu Baiting was so frightened that he almost couldn't hold the gun steadily, and everyone didn't dare to ignore it, for fear of accidentally going off.

The corners of Instructor Liu's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a smile: "This is a real test of life and death, are you afraid or not?" ”

"We are not afraid of ......"

"Well, not only do I want you to exterminate the bandits, but I also want you all to come back safe and sound, this is an order."

"Yes, Instructor."

"Now you can move around freely and gather at the playground at four o'clock in the afternoon and go."

Chen Zui said curiously: "Instructor, there must be a person in charge of leading the team in this operation, dare to ask who is in charge of this operation?" ”

"It's Minister Xie who leads the team." He said to the people: "In the process of action, you must follow his orders, communicate with him in advance if you have ideas, and remember to be brave and make assertions." ”

And all the people took the commandment to heart.

Li Chengjing originally wanted to wait for Commander Qi's people to find out the information and come back, so she told Commander Qi her full consideration, and then called her father in person to talk to her father to prevent Commander Qi from making it difficult. Now that the situation has changed, the school regards this operation as a test for them, so they will not send troops to the commander of Qi, but the Qi Mansion still has to go, and with more information in hand, they can know themselves and know their opponents, so that they can survive a hundred battles.

After having lunch at school, Li Chengjing went to Qi Mansion alone. The spies sent by Commander Qi have returned after a day and a night, and they have also drawn the information into a map for Li Chengjing to understand.

Li Chengjing took a general look and realized that these bandits had nearly a thousand troops, and it was no wonder that they could sweep an entire village. At this time, the situation has changed, and Li Chengjing did not hide it, and explained his original intention and the current sudden situation to Commander Qi as it is.

Commander Qi feared that she would be in danger and sent a team of men to secretly protect her safety. Li Chengjing smiled and excused herself, this was an excellent opportunity for her to exercise, she believed in her own ability, and hoped that Commander Qi would not interfere again.

When they gathered in the afternoon, they learned that the school had dispatched 300 soldiers, plus 40 of them, a total of 340 people to Nancun to suppress the bandits.

Li Chengjing was thinking that Minister Xie was so experienced that he would definitely find out about the situation of the bandits in the past two days, but in the end, he only sent one-third of his troops, which was deliberately to train them. Now that she knows the situation of the bandits, now that the morale is high, she still doesn't want to shake out the number of bandits and disturb the morale of the army, when the time comes, Minister Xie can only tell them in detail, and it is better to pretend that she doesn't know.

This distance was farther than going to Doulong Island, and when they reached the front of Nancun about ten miles in front of them, it was already dark, so Minister Xie ordered to set up camp in an open place, and ordered a fire to be made for cooking.

After dinner, Minister Xie gathered everyone and announced that there would be a vigil tonight, and this task fell on the students of the infantry department. They will divide into three groups tonight and take turns patrolling. In addition, after eleven o'clock tonight, we will send people to the front to inquire about the enemy, and there will be fifteen men in all, five of whom will be selected from among the soldiers, and the other ten will be selected from among the students. He did not appoint anyone to go, and it was up to the students themselves to decide who would be the spies.

This is an opportunity to exercise, and many students who failed last time have asked for help, not afraid that they will not be able to choose ten, and twenty will be willing to go. But too many people are easy to startle, and Minister Xie insisted that there were only ten people.

They discussed on the spot for a while, wanting to give the students who failed the test last time a chance to show themselves, combined with the situation that they had to take turns to keep vigil tonight, and finally decided that Chen Zui, Bai Wenhao and eight other classmates would follow the soldiers to find out the news.

After the matter was arranged, Minister Xie also selected five soldiers, one of whom was Captain Gong. It is clear that tonight's operation is under the command of Captain Gong, and they must obey the orders and arrangements, and they must not make decisions without authorization. Chen Zui had seen the power of Captain Gong, and he was commanded by him, and he was also sincerely convinced.

Minister Xie did not tell them the number of bandits in advance, but asked them to rely on their own skills to find out the details of the enemy, which is a necessary condition for marching and fighting in the future.

This place is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and at night, the mountain wind from all sides is gloomy, and the fire in front of the camp is roaring and burning, and there is a feeling of sadness.

Looking up, I saw that above the clouds, dark clouds obscured the stars and moon, and when I looked at it, it was almost eleven o'clock. Duan Shaoling and more than a dozen others were on the first shift, Li Chengjing was on the second shift, and when they came back, it was the last round on duty, and such a schedule was destined for them to have no sleep tonight.

Before leaving, Duan Shaoling advised them to be careful in everything, and tonight everything is based on their own safety, and they should not force themselves to come out.

The group followed Captain Gong, and although it was almost midnight, they still didn't dare to be careless, and quietly sneaked into the village step by step. A hundred meters away, I saw that every house in the village was open wide, and it was empty and dark under the moonlight, and I thought that it had been robbed by the bandits. They did not dare to approach the village directly, and followed the perimeter all the way to look for traces of the enemy.

They didn't know how big this village was, so Captain Gong decided to divide his troops into two routes, he took seven people to the east to investigate, and Chen Zui led the rest of the people to the west to investigate. Tell Chen Zui that if he sees any injustice, the enemies he encounters will not be able to take action, which will affect the plan to suppress the bandits in the future, and agree to gather here in an hour.

Chen Zui took the order to set off.

Along the way, the situation of the house is similar to the previous one, and these thieves really don't let go of the family. Chen Zui has been with Duan Shaoling for a long time, and he has been imperceptibly nurtured by him for a long time, and at this time, he is angry in his heart, and he is angry that these bandits have guns and bullets, and they don't want to do their part for the country and the nation, but they rob their homes and rob the people when the country is unstable, what kind of heroes are they. Tomorrow on the battlefield, he just wants to see how many thieves he can kill.
