Chapter 22 Skipping Class to Save People
Chen Zui chased after him and saw that Li Chengjing was running in the direction of the teaching building. Chen Zui chased hard for a while, and rushed to Li Chengshi? Where are you going? ”
Li Chengjing was also surprised to see him catching up, she still didn't stop, her pace was as anxious, so anxious that she burned her eyebrows, "Chu Xian was held hostage, I want to go to the office to ask about the situation." Her voice was more urgent, so urgent that she could hear her panting.
Chen Zui was very surprised, but seeing that Li Chengjing was so anxious, it was not appropriate to ask too much at this time, so he followed her silently and said nothing more.
The atrium on the first floor of the school building was the office of the school leadership meeting, and they saw from a distance that there were two soldiers guarding the door, and only when there was a meeting inside, there would be soldiers outside the door. Li Chengjing thought to herself that what Hu Yuanlan said was right, if such a big thing happened, there must be countermeasures being discussed.
"Go this way." Chen Zui knew that Li Chengjing wanted to go over to see the situation inside, but they would definitely be driven away if they walked directly from here. He pulled Li Chengjing to take a detour to the left in the direction of leaving the school gate, and then went back to the window of the conference room, so as to avoid the eyes and ears of the soldiers, and quietly went under the window to listen to the conversation inside. Fortunately, it was a place to eat, and there were no people or other soldiers patrolling along the road.
Going around to the back of the school building, they walked along a path on the edge of the flower garden, clinging to the wall and slowly walking to the window behind them, they didn't dare to look up at the situation inside, they could only prostrate themselves, their ears were next to the window as much as possible, and they held their breath, and every word they heard now was the key to them.
"Tell me who did this?" This is the voice of Principal Guo, which they heard at the opening ceremony.
Then another voice said: "I guess it must be the surname Qi who did it, apart from them, who in the entire Guicheng has such a great ability to know in advance the arrival of a batch of arms, and who has the courage to dare to plunder the arms of the military academy." They couldn't tell whose voice it was, but his voice was as piercing as a sharpening knife.
Another person said: "I don't think it's better to jump to conclusions too early, Commander Qi is a well-known figure, and he won't do this kind of thing of roosters and dogs." And it was not easy for this batch of arms to hide quietly, and he could not afford to take this risk.
Guicheng is his territory, and now the military academy's arms have been robbed on his territory, whether he did it or not, anyone will be the first to suspect him, how could he be stupid enough to be a thief at his own door and lead himself to be the target of public criticism. ”
I couldn't hear who was saying this, and his voice was louder than the one in front of him.
"Hey, hey!" The person with an extremely ugly voice said again: "The surname Qi is another character, and he is not the dog who guards Guicheng for Li Qiyu." Who doesn't know that Li Qiyu has been recruiting troops and buying horses in the past few years, and his ambitions have been expanding day by day, but the financial situation has long been stretched, and now that there is a batch of free arms in front of him, he is afraid that he has long planned to plot to seize this batch of arms from inside and outside. Guicheng can't hide this batch of arms, and the Marshal Mansion of Ningzhou is afraid that it is not enough. ”
There was silence for a moment inside, and the man said again: "Not only that, I guess they must have found out Leng Chuxian's identity, otherwise why did they capture her but not kill her, he took the arms and wanted to ask for a huge fortune." ”
Principal Guo said: "It sounds like there is a reason, but this matter is very wide-ranging, if there is not enough evidence, and if you venture to doubt, I am afraid that it will cause an uproar. ”
"Headmaster, whatever the truth of the matter, we need to get to the bottom of it as soon as possible and get the arms back. The most important thing is to save Leng Chuxian as soon as possible at any cost, otherwise we will not be able to explain to his father. The voice of the man who said this sounded so familiar that he could not remember where he had heard it.
"Minister Xie, then you have full authority to investigate this matter, the best arms can be found, but people must be brought back safely."
"Yes, Headmaster."
"Ahh They remembered the voice of Minister Xie, the lead gendarme who had stopped them at the door last night.
"Let's discuss it first, Minister Xie, you also hurry up, how many people are needed, you can just deploy it."
"Yes!"
The two of them also hurriedly walked away next to each other, otherwise they would be in trouble if they came out after a while. They hid behind another wall, heard the people inside come out, and only came out when there was no sound. While there was no one around, I went back in the direction of the cafeteria dormitory.
Li Chengjing had countless questions in her heart at this time, it was actually the minister of the gendarmerie who stopped them, and what was even more incredible was that he had known Leng Chuxian for a long time, but he pretended not to know at that time. Now that he thinks about it, he didn't let Chen Zui go to the dormitory with Leng Chuxian on his back, because he was worried that he would be seen by others and damage Leng Chuxian's reputation.
And the principal's words made her even more suspicious, what is Leng Chuxian's identity? Why would the principal rather give up that batch of arms, and also ask Minister Xie to save Leng Chuxian? Kidnapping, Seeking Wealth...... Where is the clue to this series of problems?
Chen Zui was silent when he saw her walking back to the cafeteria, "We don't need to study the cause and effect first, the most important thing is to save Chu Xian first." You want to go out, don't you? ”
Li Chengjing didn't expect Chen Zui to understand her mind so well, and for a while she didn't know whether it was gratitude or something else, "Yes, I'm going to 'Zaixing Wharf' to understand the situation at that time, and see if there are any clues to track down the whereabouts of those gangsters." ”
"You don't believe in the school's capabilities?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's better for me to go myself, it's better than waiting like a torment."
"The principal has asked Minister Xie to investigate, we are just students, even if we say it, the school will not let us intervene."
Li Chengjing looked up in the direction of the school gate.
"Unless you want to ......"
Li Chengjing knew that he had guessed his thoughts, "That's right, I have no other choice now, save Chu Xian first, nothing else matters." ”
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Li Chengjing's gloomy face suddenly turned into a thick fog, "You go too?" ”
Chen Zui chuckled, "You don't believe me? ”
Li Chengjing said: "No, going out of the military academy privately is equivalent to desertion, and you are likely to face the result of being expelled." ”
"Aren't you the same? It is enough as long as the work is worthwhile. ”
"It's worth it for me to do this, and so are you... For her? In the end, I found that I had no confidence.
Chen Zui smiled faintly again, "I want to save Chu Xian, but it's just for you." ”
Li Chengjing smiled, she usually likes to laugh, and she looks good when she laughs, but she has never been like now, like a blooming peony under the sun, bright and moving, radiant, and blurred all the frost on her face. She was suddenly less anxious and scared than she had just been.
Chen Zui said: "Without further ado, let's take off the sandbags first, and then immediately return here to gather." ”
The two went their separate ways.
Chen drunk trotted back to the dormitory, Duan Shaoling was lying flat on the bed, but when he saw him running back in a hurry, he immediately sat up, "What happened?" ”
Chen Zui took off the sandbag and made a long story short: "Chu Xian is missing, it may be dangerous, Cheng Jing is desperate to go out to find her, I want to accompany her." ”
"What?" Duan Shaoling was taken aback. Zou Baoyi and the others next to him also panicked, "Chu Xian is missing, how can this be?"
Chen Zui suddenly felt very sorry again, he promised Duan Shaoling to accompany him in the military academy, now this time, he and Li Chengjing are very likely to be expelled from the school, and he may be left here alone in the future, "I'm sorry Shaoling, I know I shouldn't leave the school like this, but I can't watch Chengjing go on an adventure alone." ”
Time is running out, he doesn't have time to express his apologies here slowly, and some things can only be said when we meet next time. Without waiting for Duan Shaoling to say anything more, Chen Zui quickly walked down the stairs.
When I got outside, Li Chengjing also came out.
"Wait, I'll go with you." It was Duan Shaoling's voice, he actually came down, and the sandbags on his feet were also untied.
"Shaoling, you ......" they looked at him incredulously.
"Don't say anything, Cheng Jing, you are for Chu Xian, Chen Zui is for you, and I am also for Chen Zui. I believe that if it were me who had an accident today, Chen Zui would have done the same. ”
Chen Zui was extremely moved and said: "If it is you who have an accident today, don't say that you will be expelled from school, you will fight to the death, and I will also save you." ”
Duan Shaoling patted him on the shoulder, "Don't say anything, let's go out quickly." ”
The school closes at half-past one at noon, and there are forty minutes left. It's not difficult to get out of school, you can just make up a reason, just say that you went to the neighborhood to buy something and come back, and you won't go back when you leave the school, but it's hard to say what the situation will be when you come back.
When they arrived at the school gate, Chen Zui thought of a reason in a hurry, telling the soldiers at the gate that they had missed lunch at noon today because they were called by the instructor to tidy up the training room, and now they were going to eat a bowl of noodles at a noodle stall not far from the opposite side and come back.
Coincidentally, after a morning of training, he and Li Chengjing missed the school lunch because of this incident, and they are really hungry now, and the hungry grunts came to cooperate with them in time while they spoke.
The soldiers at the door heard their stomachs screaming, only if they were really hungry, "only half an hour, hurry up and finish eating, come back quickly." ”
"Thank you, sir."
As soon as they walked out, they really walked in the direction of the noodle stall, and when they walked farther away from the school gate, they took advantage of the large number of people, turned around, and walked quickly to another road.
