The second lieutenant was still in a state of stunned, although the concussed brain had received Dong Xiaotu's voice, but it was still slowly analyzing the meaning of this sentence, he just looked at Dong Xiaotu's smiling eyes bent into a crescent moon in a daze, trying to understand the meaning of this smile.

Before the second lieutenant could react, the high-ranking officer had already come to his side, this was a colonel, and judging from his cold eyes and decisiveness to kill, he was definitely a colonel who had been promoted with great military exploits and strength, and his strength was unfathomable.

When the colonel shot his retainer just now, he chose an extremely precise angle, so that all the blood was spilled on the ground, and he did not let himself splash a bit.

The colonel walked coldly to the side and slapped the gun in his hand into the second lieutenant's arms.

When he subconsciously caught the gun, the second lieutenant realized that the colonel was wearing leather gloves on his hands and had not left his fingerprints on the gun.

At this moment, the second lieutenant finally understood the cause and effect of all this, he looked at Dong Xiaotu's bottomless smiling eyes, unconsciously shivered, sorted out his thoughts for a while, and his trembling voice revealed that the peace of mind was all disguised: "Yes, I just saw that this retainer tried to insult the little girl, so I stepped forward to stop it, but the other party acted in the name of the Marshal's Mansion and launched an attack on me, because its severity has surpassed ordinary public security incidents, I have no choice but to kill him according to the laws of the capital region." ”

Dong Xiaotu was still smiling, patted the second lieutenant on the shoulder, and said mysteriously: "And the little young master is a little playful today, so he went to the cake shop to eat." ”

"Yes, the little master didn't know about it, he ate dessert in the cake shop, and now he has followed him back." The second lieutenant who came back to his senses turned his mind quickly, and immediately said, "Moreover, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and the retainer should keep it a secret, not let the young master know, and no one will mention this retainer in front of him." ”

Dong Xiaotu's eyes were full of satisfaction, he rubbed the second lieutenant's face, and said softly: "Go back to the barracks to recuperate, you will be a lieutenant from now on." ”

Dong Xiaotu stood up, walked to Mu Xi and the old grandmother again, looked at Mu Xi with a smile and said, "Little girl, do you know me?" ”

Mu Xi glanced at Dong Xiaotu blankly, as if she remembered something, and said in a low voice: "I know... On the day General Leng Kite was interviewed, I saw you by the stage. ”

"Yes, your questions and answers will go down in history, and you are a very lucky man." Dong Xiaotu gently pinched Mu Xi's chin, twisted her gaze that she was trying to dodge, and smiled, "I just don't know, do you have the intelligence to match this luck?" ”

Mu Xi snorted, and subconsciously glanced at the retainer who was killed, as well as the second lieutenant who was injured by blocking his fist, no, he should be a lieutenant now.

The lieutenant looked at Mu Xi with complicated eyes, and a certain look in his eyes was about to come out, as if he wanted to convey some information to Mu Xi, but he didn't dare to say it explicitly.

Mu Xi was silent for a while, lowered her head, and said faintly: "Just now... That man tried to do something to me, and he bullied my grandmother, but it was Uncle Soldier who protected us, and he was seriously wounded in the battle, and finally killed the bad guys..."

The smile on Dong Xiaotu's face became deeper and deeper, and she reached out and touched Mu Xi's face, as if she was gently comforting her sister, and then, she took out a stack of cash from her arms, thick, it should be the standard 10,000.

Dong Xiaotu stuffed the cash into the old grandmother's arms and said, "This child's schoolbag is a little old, buy a new one, she is a smart child, for her to go to school well." ”

The old grandmother had never seen so many stacks of cash, so she didn't dare to accept it, but she found that Dong Xiaotu didn't give her room to refuse at all, so she got up and left directly.

Dong Xiaotu walked in front of Luo Wu, saluted, and then spread his hands to the side, and said with a calm expression: "Lieutenant Colonel Luo Wu, appreciate your face?" ”

At this time, Luo Wei found that there was already a car waiting at the end of the alley, and judging by the colonel's aggressive gaze, it was probably not easy to refuse.

It just so happened that Luo Wei was also very curious about Dong Xiaotu's identity and the current situation of Chang'an as a whole, so he nodded.

...

An hour later, Luo Wei and Dong Xiaotu arrived at the location of the Central Propaganda Department, a tall complex of buildings, in the light of the sun, they looked like giants in golden armor, looking down at the group of ants in front of them.

Luo Wei vaguely saw a few rays of reflection from some windows of the building, although he couldn't see what it was, but nine times out of ten it was observers and sentry posts, and there were some inconspicuous places where there were hidden sentry posts, forming horns with each other, and a few dozen soldiers formed an impermeable line of defense, which could block more than 20 times the impact of the enemy.

Luo Wei followed behind Dong Xiaotu, his eyes were retracted from the guards nearby, and he said lightly: "Speaking of which, do you know me?" ”

Dong Xiaotu turned his head and said with a smile: "Of course, the information of all the officers above the major level of the Republic's Hui is in my head. ”

At present, the population of the Republic is 300 million to 400 million, the standing army is about 2 million, and the total number of generals above the rank of major general alone is about 700, and there are even more at the rank of major and above.

Luo Wei vaguely remembered that in addition to publishing newspapers and periodicals, the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Republic of China was in charge of ideology, and it was also an intelligence department.

Luo Wei asked, "What's the matter with me?" ”

"I don't have anything to do, you and I are both literate and martial, I'm afraid there won't be much intersection until I die of old age." Dong Xiaotu turned his back to Luo Wei, and suddenly with a flick of his jade finger, he flicked a shiny metal object towards Luo Wei.

Luo Wei took it, it was a personal badge, theoretically of no substantive use, but some high-ranking officers liked to carve this kind of thing as a sign of personal status, similar to the old business card and the like.

Before Luo Wei could inquire about the origin of this badge, the two of them had already entered a building, passed through the heavily guarded gate, tossed and turned three or four times, and came to a small courtyard in the open air.

There is a pool of clear water in the courtyard, the tall rockery is full of autumn blooming plants, the autumn wind blows slowly, bringing the maple leaves dancing in the air to the smooth wooden floor, sometimes stretching out your hand can also hold a piece, the lines that have not yet withered make people seem to see the autumn music.

Dong Xiaotu stretched out his hand and knocked on the wooden beam on the side, looked at the people sitting in the courtyard with their backs to them, and smiled meaningfully: "Lieutenant General Zhang Gongbo, I brought the people." ”
