Chapter 130: Concealment
When entering the city, Shen Hong and Lu Baiting stood at the back, which made them closer to the crowd. Immediately after the first shotshot, they realized that the shot was coming from the crowd on the right. At a glance, he saw that one of the people in the crowd was fleeing quickly to the southwest, wearing a peaked cap covering his face, and holding a gun in his hand, this person must be an assassin.
Shen Hong hurriedly said to Duan Shaoling, and the two chased out together.
Although the man ran first, Shen Lu and the others could still catch up. After five streets, the two of them chased the Assassin into an alley where there was no way out.
Seeing that there was no way out, the man reflexively fired two shots at them, and the two dodged and raised their guns to fight back. If the two of them work together to kill him, it will be fine. Anyone can think of assassinating a marshal, and there must be someone behind them who instigated them to go back alive.
Shen Hong fired several shots, but they didn't hit him, but forced him to retreat, Lu Baiting took advantage of his panic, shot off the gun in his hand, and the two approached him at the same time, Shen Hong pointed a gun at his head, Lu Baiting grabbed his hands to prevent him from moving.
"You can't escape."
Lu Baiting stretched out his hand and tore off his hat, seeing clearly that he was a man no more than thirty years old. Somehow, they obviously didn't know this man, but after looking at it twice, they felt vaguely familiar, like an old friend of their own, like someone who couldn't remember it for a while.
Shen Hong asked, "Who are you?" Who instructed him to assassinate Li Dashuai? ”
The man snorted, his face turned elsewhere, he was not frightened, his face was full of anger, and full of disdain and contempt.
Lu Baiting sneered: "If you don't say it, it's up to you, when you get to prison, there are many ways to pry your mouth open, I hope you can still be as backbone as you are then." ”
The two escorted him to leave, and the man suddenly said, "Wait." ”
"Yo, what do you want to say now? Forget it, we'll have to say it again anyway, and we don't need to listen to it. ”
The man snorted coldly again, and said, "You are all classmates of Miss Li's family, I heard that there is also Miss Li's sweetheart among them, is it one of you?" ”
Shen Hong shouted: "What's the matter with you? You know a lot about it. ”
"Finesse?" The man repeated, "Let me tell you, I'm not a meticulous worker, I'm also a member of Li Jiajun?" ”
The two were taken aback, "What did you say?" You are Li Jiajun's person, how is this possible? Then have you been bribed by other forces, and you dare to openly assassinate the marshal?"
The man sneered, and this sneer contained countless resentment and bitterness, "Aren't you curious why I know about you?" Then I'll tell you now, my father is the former director of discipline and guidance of the Guicheng Military Academy, Director Wang. ”
When he said this, the more they looked at it, the more they felt that the man in front of them was indeed very similar to Director Wang, and they couldn't believe it or not, "It turns out that your father is the Director Wang who colluded with outsiders to snatch weapons from the military academy and kidnap Leng Chuxian." ”
"Shut up, I won't allow you to slander my father like this." The man shouted. "Let me tell you, all this was instigated by Li Qiyu, and it was he who sent my father to lurk in the Guicheng Military Academy, seize weapons, and kidnap Guo Qianye's daughter, all of which were Li Qiyu's ideas."
Lu Baiting snorted, "You are talking nonsense, your father himself colluded with outsiders, and he actually has the face to settle this account on Li Dashuai." ”
The man didn't refute and said, "I have a letter written by Li Qiyu to my father in my arms, you can take it out and look at it." ”
Lu Baiting was suspicious of the letter, touched it from his arms, and sure enough, there was a letter, and the two opened the letter and saw that the signature on the letter was really written by Li Qiyu to Director Wang.
Looking at it carefully, between the lines is the tone of the superiors to the subordinates, and the time on the letter is before they start school, and the content is that Li Qiyu learned that Leng Chuxian is the daughter of Guo Qianye and wants to study at the Guicheng Military Academy, and asks Director Wang to pay close attention to her every move, and it also shows that he will send Li Chengjing to the military academy for training, and he is close to Leng Chuxian.
The two were speechless after reading it.
"How? Now that you believe it, you can't imagine that even Miss Li was arranged by Li Qiyu to be by your side, and once she came to get close to Guo Qianye's daughter, the two of them recruited talents for their Li family. My father was loyal to Li Qiyu, and in the end he was just a pawn he sacrificed.
And you, if it weren't for the value of your use, do you think Li Qiyu would welcome you? If one day, when Li Qiyu needs to make sacrifices with chess pieces, he will also push you out mercilessly. ”
"That's enough, don't talk about it."
The man continued, however, "It is useless to deceive oneself. Let me tell you one more thing, Li Qiyu also came out of the Guicheng Military Academy, and you and your instructor Liu were originally comrades-in-arms who had carried guns and fought together. But later, Li Qiyu was so greedy that he actually supported the army to stand on his own, and took advantage of the chaos in the world to lead troops to South China, relying on his troops and means to fight for many years before occupying the seven provinces of South China.
Do you really think that he loves the people so much that he does not hesitate to support the refugees in Central China with money and food, and he does this in order to buy people's hearts and minds so that those young refugees will willingly serve in the military for him. How can you imagine his scheming and his city? ”
The two of them suddenly felt that there were thousands of pounds under their feet, and they couldn't take a step. The man suddenly broke free of Lu Baiting's palm, snatched his pistol, and slapped Lu Baiting back a few steps with his backhand, and the muzzle of his gun was against his chest.
"Anyway, I can't escape death, I'd rather kill myself than be executed by Li Qiyu Lingchi."
The man shot himself in the chest and collapsed, bleeding from his chest, not dead yet. said weakly: "My father said that Li Qiyu and Bai Jingyi in the southwest had collusion, and I heard that Instructor Liu's death was related to Bai Jingyi's son, and this matter may also have something to do with Li Qiyu." ”
He fired another shot, shaking his body and remaining motionless.
After the two of them calmed down, they took his corpse back first, and didn't think about the others for the time being.
Back at Shuaifu, the two only said that they wanted to catch him alive, but he resisted stubbornly and was very skilled, so they had to kill him. They didn't say a word about what the man said.
Adjutant Long ordered the corpse to be dragged out and whipped to show the corpse, and Shen Lu and the others were heartbroken, extremely sad, and their faces did not show the slightest abnormality.
Li Chengjing said: "I'll take you to the study to see my father now." ”
When they arrived at the study, Li Chengjing explained in detail the reason why they had to kill the assassins, and Li Qiyu would not blame them. They made great contributions on the battlefield, and Li Qiyu rewarded them for their merits and deeds, Shen Hong was promoted to regiment commander, and Lu Baiting was promoted to battalion commander.
The two retreated, and Li Chengjing also accompanied them downstairs.
When she went downstairs, Zou Baoer also came back from the military medical center. Li Chengjing ordered to go down and prepare a dinner party in the attic.
At the wine table, they had a drink, and Duan Shaoling said with a smile: "Everyone is here, Chen Zui, Cheng Jing, you should tell everyone about it, right?" ”
"What's the matter?"
"Let's let them say it themselves."
Chen drunk a glass and said, "Dashuai has agreed that we will get married one day." ”
"You're going to get married?"
Duan Shaoling raised his glass, "Come, let's wish them a hundred years of happiness and an early birth of a noble son." ”
Zou Bao'er said: "When is your wedding date, remember to inform my brother and Chu Xian to come over for a wedding drink." ”
Chen Zui said: "The wedding date has not yet been decided, so I will naturally invite them when it is decided." ”
After the dinner, Li Chengjing arranged a room for them.
Back in the room, Shen Hong and Lu Baiting put away the smiles they had forced on the wine table just now. Duan Shaoling once said that if he wanted to leave one day, Li Qiyu couldn't stop him. Now Li Qiyu wants them to get married, which is tantamount to giving them the idea of leaving.
They really want to tell the story, but they must be intolerable by Li Qiyu, and Li Chengjing may not know about Li Qiyu, they are friends in life and death, how can they ruin Li Chengjing's marriage. Regardless of Li Qiyu's purpose, the two of them are in love.
The two of them thought about it and didn't know what to do, and finally decided to tell Duan Shaoling about it as soon as possible, he was resourceful and far-sighted, and he would definitely have a good idea.
The next morning, they went back to the barracks together to report on their work and put in order military affairs. After a round of inspection, the morale of the soldiers was very high. When they came to the field, the crop was growing very well, and it would be harvested in a month or two.
In the afternoon, Shen Lu and the others took advantage of Chen's drunkenness to call Duan Shaoling alone to an open and uninhabited place not far from the crops.
"Why did you call me here?"
Shen Hong said: "Shaoling, we have something very important to tell you, you have to help get an idea." So he told them word for word what happened yesterday, and handed over the letter taken from the man to Duan Shaoling.
Duan Shaoling was secretly frightened when he heard this, but everything was interlocked, and with this letter here, he couldn't help but have a little doubt.
"We don't dare to reveal anything in front of Chen Zui and Cheng Jing, so we can only call you over."
Duan Shaoling nodded, "You are right to do this. ”
"Shaoling, what do you say now?"
Duan Shaoling dragged the letter, looked into the distance, and didn't say a word.
The two of them knew that he was analyzing the powerful relationship of the whole thing, and it was up to him to think it through quietly. After a long time, Duan Shaoling tore the letter to pieces and scattered it casually.
"Shaoling, this ......"
Duan Shaoling said: "Let's just assume that we don't know anything."
"Just like nothing happened?"
"Yes, if we get out of here, we can get out of here safely, but where are we going after we leave? The other warlords are not necessarily nobler than the marshal. No matter what happened before, I believe Cheng Jing didn't lie to us. They are about to get married, and if they talk about it now, their marriage will definitely be complicated, can we bear to break them up? ”
Duan Shaoling's analysis is very reasonable, this is really what they are worried about, just listen to him, the right to this incident has not happened, so that they can get married smoothly.
