Chapter Fifty-Eight: The West Goes Out of Yangguan
This plague man hiding in the backyard is Li Shan! I looked at Xiang Ci and then at Li Shan, a little unable to digest it.
"Chief, the people have also seen, let's sit in the house and drink some water!" The captain didn't know what was going on, and he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
I pushed him aside, "It's okay with you, come over and let's talk!" ”
Pushing the captain to the base of the wall, I looked at Xiang Ci who was standing at the door and asked, "Brother, I don't know your surname yet!" ”
"Chief, I don't want your surname to be Li." Captain Li also looked at Xiang Ci, not knowing what was going on.
"Brother Li, you're a little insincere! Didn't you cheap dad get infected during the cataclysm? This doesn't quite match what I know! "I don't ask in the dark.
"Poor...... That's about the time. "Captain Lee was a little stumbling.
"Not a lot, right?"
"That's it...... It's not long after the end of the epidemic people**......"
"Was that the time of the Cataclysm?"
"I ......," Captain Li couldn't say.
"Alright, alright, even if it's about the same!" I waved my hand impatiently, "What about your brother?" ”
"He's back to work......"
"I'm still on a fart shift, contact him and ask him to report to me!" This younger brother is from the Erli Guard, he used to follow Erli, and now he should be considered my person, if he doesn't come, I will be pitted by Erli!
The captain hurriedly said yes and hid to the side to make a phone call.
I'm a little depressed, Li Shan has become like this, obviously it is impossible to do anything in these matters, and the reason for his withdrawal is also clear at a glance, it is not good for an epidemic person to fight for power again. This made all my previous speculations fall into the void, but I don't know what Xiang Ci can pull out of his mouth. I imagined Xiang Ci pulling something out of his mouth, and I shuddered.
A wave of unsettled waves, the chills were not over, but a scream came from the house, I turned around to look, but saw the old lady rushing out of the rolling pin, while still scolding in her mouth: "Xiang Ci, you **!" He's like this, and you still don't let him go! ”
Although Xiang Ci is in a hot body, I'm afraid it's not okay to fight, I hurriedly ran over, who knew that the captain ran faster than me, and had already stopped his mother, but the old lady was very violent, and a rolling pin smashed firmly on the captain's buttocks.
The wrist-thick rolling pin was obviously useless for a long time, leaving a gray mark on the captain's buttocks, and the captain shouted, "Mom! What are you doing! Mayor Xiang is a distinguished guest, how can you scold people! ”
I said in my heart that this guy is not stupid at all, your mother is obviously going to beat someone, and you will change your scolding with a word.
Xiang Ci didn't panic, and said, "Sister-in-law! I didn't hurt Mayor Li, you misunderstood. ”
The old lady did not answer, but cried. The captain was stunned, probably not knowing that his cheap father used to be the mayor.
I don't think this situation is right, with this old lady here, nothing can be done, and I was just about to persuade Xiang Ci to leave quickly, but I saw Li Shan trembling out of the house.
Li Shan's mouth had become like that, and it was no longer possible to speak, but Hu Laowei was still there, and he stopped glaring at the old lady. Xiang Ci hesitated for a moment and reached out to support Li Shan, but Li Shan shook his head and gently broke away.
I should have said something, but I didn't feel that it was appropriate to say anything, so I opened my mouth to Ci instead.
"Mayor Li, should we talk about meeting each other?"
Li Shan snorted in his throat and compared to his cabin.
What's there to talk about here? Sign language? I was stunned, but I followed them in.
The room was bitterly cold, and the ice cubes placed on the windowsill were condensed into icicles, even my body now was a little unbearable, let alone Xiang Ci, but the captain was interested, and brought a uniform coat from the house for Xiang Ci to put on.
"I didn't say anything just now, don't mind." To my surprise, Li Shan actually spoke, but his pronunciation was extremely vague, his words were also very concise, and his face was motionless, which should be ventriloquism.
"Mayor Li doesn't have to explain, I understand!" Xiang Ci said, "You actually learned ventriloquism, you really have perseverance!" ”
Li Shan waved his hand to indicate that it was not worth mentioning, paused for a while and said, "How do you know that I am here?" ”
"Believe it or not, it's just a coincidence." Xiang Ci said sincerely, "The conditions here are too bad, I'll arrange another place for you!" ”
I don't know why, big people always get respect and forgiveness that is different when they commit crimes, and I disdain this and snort.
Xiang Ci glared at me, but didn't say anything, but Li Shan noticed me, "This? ”
"I'm Mayor Xiang's assistant, little man, you don't have to care about me!" I answered him right away.
Li Shan's eyes narrowed, as if he was smiling, and did not speak again.
Xiang Ci asked, "I thought you were no longer alive, but I didn't expect it to become like this." ”
"The world is impermanent, who can predict it?" Li Shan's voice can interpret this sentence very well, and I feel a little emotional when I hear it.
"How is Jiang Quan?" Although Li Shan looked very weak, he still asked.
"Good!" Xiang Ci replied, "How did you get sick?" ”
"There are plague people in the city, you don't know ......"
Who? Could it be a virus? My first reaction was him, but it's not right to think about it, it's okay to get along with him, he's definitely not an epidemic person.
"Organized plague people?" Xiang Ci keenly grasped this.
Li Shan neither admitted nor denied it, but made two noises in his abdomen, as if he was laughing.
Really? I think it's a little incredible, this city is just like this, the characteristics of the epidemic people are so obvious, how can it not be discovered?
"Mayor Xiang, you should know what happened at that time...... Li Shan took a few breaths and spewed out some blood foam.
"I only know my heart, I don't know the purpose, you are not a traitorous person, our differences are just different directions, but you are a soldier, and you choose a different way." Xiang Ci's voice was a little trembling, I don't know if it was frozen.
"I'm useless, they ......," Li Shan pointed to the front yard.
Xiang Ci didn't speak, but nodded.
I knew she meant to keep her family carefree, and I nodded in my appreciation.
"Mayor Li, I still want to ask about what happened back then." Xiang Ci asked.
"Back then......" Li Shan's eyes were a little indifferent, "Xiao Zhang is lucky, I've been sick for a long time, and I have to leave if he doesn't come!" ”
It turns out that this is the case, it seems that Virus Zhang did not do anything, and Jiang Quan's takeover was also the result of the arrangement of this military bigwig, as for his seclusion here, it is unknown whether he was arranged by Virus Zhang or done it himself.
I was just about to ask him who was stirring up the situation now, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and in the blink of an eye I was in front of the door, and when I looked back, it was a man in uniform.
This person is about the same height as me, carrying a box in his hand, and he looks a little similar to Li Xiang between his eyebrows and eyes. ”
Li Shan shook his head, and the man looked at it uncomfortably, before he turned around and saluted, "Li Yuanzheng reports to Assistant Xia, to the mayor!" ”
It seems that this is Li Xiang's younger brother, and when I saw him, a stone in my heart fell to the ground, and I saluted back, "Take a break." ”
"Yes!" Li Yuanzheng saluted again and handed over the box in his hand, "Mayor Li asked me to hand it over to you, there is another letter inside, Mayor Li said that you can only read it yourself!" ”
I was stunned, took the box, and said in my heart that this kind of thing should be said to my face? This old guy didn't forget to sow discord when he left.
Li Shan watched from the side, with some surprise in his eyes, and asked, "Young man, ...... you?"
Xiang Ci said with a smile on the side: "Last night, he led three people to attack Er Li, and Er Li was defeated, and he has handed over all his men to him!" ”
"Good! Men do it! Li Shan's spirit was lifted, and his body seemed to be full of heroic spirit in the army back then.
When I saw him like this, I suddenly had a much better impression of him, and I don't know if it was because he praised me. However, this person's actions are also quite desirable, but from the fact that Li Yuanzheng actually went to work for Er Li, it can be seen that he is public.
However, Li Shan may have let this illness be tortured, and after the moment just now, his spirit immediately calmed down, and he gasped for a long time before he mustered up his strength and said: "Mayor Xiang, I will go to Chang Cheng in the afternoon, they have nothing to do with me!" ”
"Not necessarily!" Xiang Ci hurriedly said, "You have someone to take care of here, you don't have to go there?" ”
"The affairs of the city have nothing to do with me, but you don't doubt me, and some people doubt me." Li Shan let out a few breaths and continued: "To the mayor, with all due respect, you are good at business, but not good at administration, now that the city is unified, you should act cautiously!" ”
"That's what you said!" Xiang Ci's expression was very respectful.
Li Shan stopped talking, closed his eyes and recuperated, I looked at his terrible face, how could I connect with Li Shan in Xiang Ci's mouth, I could only sigh in my heart that the world is impermanent, and creation makes people.
The atmosphere in the room was very solemn for a while, and after a while, Li Shan opened his eyes, "Since you are not leaving, I will leave now." When he was done, he pointed at me again, "You send me!" ”
Everyone looked at me, I was stunned for a moment, don't bring such a pit, these old guys don't all want to push me towards Ci, right? But if I didn't agree to this request, I felt that I couldn't get over it, so I had to nod my head and agree.
The group walked to the gate of the courtyard, Li Xiang and his father also came out to send it, only the old lady did not come out, only the cry in the house came out.
Er Li also left the car to me, and was parked at the door at this time, and I handed the box to Xiang Ci before getting into the car. "Mayor Xiang, I don't know what it is, but I'm not at ease to take it out of the city, can you please keep it for me first?"
Xiang Ci stared at me in a daze, but his eyebrows gradually became empty, and just when I was about to explain again, he suddenly smiled again, "Put it in my car, I won't touch it if you don't come!" ”
I smiled and didn't say anything, pulled the door open and put the box on the passenger seat.
Li Shan sat in the car and looked at me all the time, urging: "It's not early, let's get on the road!" ”
