A bloody storm ended like a farce in the end. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the face of Du Tianwen's strength, or even more because of the horseman standing behind him, the remaining two officers could only lift the unconscious and dying Captain She in a daze, and even picked up the broken arm and put it in his arms, and left the military field in a gloomy manner.
And that Captain Gong was also pulled out of the hole in the doorpost by several sergeants. After he glanced at Qiao Ximing with complicated eyes, he was helped to leave.
When he went out, Captain Gong saw a figure flash away not far from the military field, but it was also a set of military armor on his body, and there were two protruding marks on his shoulders, and he was also a captain.
If the reserve sergeant in the military field came out, he would definitely recognize the man, because it was clearly Captain Karen who had already left with a snack box.
When Du Tianwen and Qiao Ximing went to the back room of the military field, Karen went out of the gate of the military field, but she didn't really leave, but hid near the military field and monitored the movements of the military field. Qiao Ximing and Du Tianwen's performance was a little weird, which made Karen suspicious, and she always felt that something would inevitably happen next.
Sure enough, from Captain Gong and the four leading the military column into the door, to Huang Liuguan Xin being beaten, to Qiao Ximing showing his high-level strength and wielding a knife to cut off Captain She's arm, and finally Du Tianwen's slow and partial statement, he saw it all in his eyes.
At this moment, the matter was over, and Karen finally really left the military field, but was seen by Captain Gong as she left.
Looking at the figure that disappeared in the southwest direction of the town, the corners of Captain Gong's mouth twitched, and he frowned as if his chest was aching again, and he lowered his head again.
......
"You really dare to cause trouble!"
The new sergeant was taken to the backyard by several reserve sergeants to arrange a place to live, while Guan Xin and Huang Liu were also carried away for treatment. Although Guan Xin's injury was not light, he didn't know what Qiao Ximing was feeding at the time, but his life was saved, but it seemed that he still couldn't participate in training for a while.
Du Tianwen watched many sergeants moving armaments back and forth in the military field, and the words of exclamation in his mouth were naturally said to Qiao Ximing.
Qiao Ximing thought of the scene of the previous action again, and his face suddenly turned cold: "They are the ones who caused the trouble, I just obeyed their wishes." ”
These words made Du Tianwen couldn't help but glance at the swaddling clothes on Qiao Ximing's back: "It seems that they have touched your reverse scale......s!
"That's just right!" Qiao Ximing didn't have the consciousness of committing anything at all, there was a chill in his eyes, and he noticed that there were several people around, including Qiao Dingtong, who were secretly paying attention to his expression, so he retracted a little and returned to indifference: "These four hundred people are just the first batch, we have now taken over half of the number, before the second batch of reinforcements from your family comes, we must completely break up and reorganize this first batch of people, and grasp the control first." ”
"Well, I'm not worried. Speaking of this kind of thing, Du Tianwen seemed a little lacking in interest: "Now that the two hundred people are in your hands, according to your means, you must be able to quickly rectify them, but the remaining two, Captain Ai and Captain Tu, you have to be careful of their secret tricks." ”
A cold light flashed in Qiao Ximing's eyes: "That Captain Tu doesn't have to worry, but that surnamed Ai's character is a little ruthless, but if he really dares to make a move before the second batch of people comes...... I'll give him some color and see. ”
Qiao Ximing's current expression is the first time Du Tianwen has seen it, since the two met more than half a year ago, the impression left on him by this swaddling man is only the loneliness of getting out of the world, and the consistent indifference and alienation.
But right now, although the anger caused by concern is not obvious on the surface, all kinds of actions show Qiao Ximing's unstable mood at this time.
What kind of story does this infant child have with him?
Du Tianwen didn't ask the questions, he had already noticed the abnormality of the swaddling clothes, but he hid all those questions, because he could see that even though the relationship between the two of them was not shallow, it still did not reach the level where he could know all the secrets of the other party.
However, seeing Qiao Ximing's current appearance, Du Tianwen's heart was relieved.
It turns out that this man is also a creature with feelings after all.
"What's next, what are you going to do?" Looking away from the swaddling clothes, Du Tianwen diverted the topic and looked at the reserve sergeants.
Qiao Ximing's eyes flashed: "Next...... I'm going to talk to them. ”
......
In Qiao Dingtong's eyes, Qiao Ximing's image is very tall and mysterious.
In the slave market, because of Qiao Ximing's words, the fate of him and his younger siblings changed. The whipping of the pig's blood whip no longer needs to be dodged, and there is no need to worry about the safety of the two sisters separated under different tents.
Then there is his own name, compared with the nail head, Qiao Dingtong's three words made him inexplicably have a little more hope for life in his heart.
Qiao Ximing's image in the military field is very strict, but in Qiao Dingtong's eyes, it is a normal majesty, even if his physical fitness is very backward compared with most reserve sergeants, but all the training that has been arranged will be completed meticulously with gritted teeth, and even customize excess training independently.
There was an impulse in his heart, and a hint of yearning.
That trace of yearning, after seeing Qiao Ximing's volley punch and amazing knife, swelled more and more obviously.
He began to understand that it was a quest for power!
As for the impulse in his heart, it was directed at Qiao Ximing: for the name Qiao Dingtong that this man gave him, he felt that there was a deeper meaning behind it, and it was a wish that he wanted to help him realize.
So, as long as Qiao Ximing was there, Qiao Dingtong's eyes would follow closely, and an imperceptible fanaticism was firmly rooted in his heart like a seed, and began to sprout, and every word and deed began to imitate this person.
It's just that this kind of psychology is still relatively subtle after all, and the inferiority complex of being a slave still makes him hide his worship.
After a turmoil, when he was helping the Du family's sergeant carry the armament and secretly paying attention to Qiao Ximing, he suddenly saw the other party's eyes settle on his body, and his heart suddenly jumped, and he immediately lowered his head.
But this ostrich-like behavior didn't help.
"Definitely!"
The short voice passed through the flow of people, very steady, so that Qiao Dingtong had to raise his head: "The subordinates are here! What are the orders of the captain?"
Qiao Ximing calmly looked at the slave, who was somewhat similar to himself in some ways, then closed his eyes and turned around and walked towards the council room.
"Follow me!"
"Yes!"
The footsteps involuntarily followed, and the two entered the council room one after the other.
The door is closed.
"Do you know what your name means?"
The questioning figure turned his back to Qiao Dingtong, closing his eyes as if he was recalling something.
Qiao Dingtong's heart trembled, but his curiosity about the answer was undeniable: "The subordinates are stupid." ”
"Qiao Dingtong, Dingtong...... Your previous name was Nailhead, and although I didn't know the original meaning of the name given to you, it wasn't a bad name in the literal sense. The head of the nail is sharp and hard, no matter how hard the surface can be drilled by it, and it also symbolizes that no matter what difficulties and dangers cannot stop you. ”
has been called by the people around him for more than ten years, but Qiao Dingtong never thought that he could have such an explanation.
The original intention of the nail head, he himself knew very well, it was nothing more than that the top of his head was a little pointy, and the children he knew around him began to make fun of this feature, but it gradually became his name.
Anyway, in this world where survival is difficult, the names of inferior people or civilians don't even pay much attention to themselves.
"However, the name is not in your character. ”
In the sight of his head down, the heels in front of him turned, and he stood still in his direction.
The voice seemed to have the power of hypnosis, which made Qiao Dingtong have a desire to raise his head.
"Your character is not arrogant or impatient, you are a very stable person, there is no trace of sharpness, but it does not match the nail head, but has a calm force like the earth. I took a definite word, because I liked your kind of firm heart, that kind of idea to protect important things. ”
Prompted by impulsiveness to look up, Qiao Dingtong saw a gaze with a familiar feeling. In those eyes, he saw a strange emotion.
It seems to be, like a father and a brother!
"You didn't disappoint me, in these days in the military field, although your overall performance was not outstanding, but I saw your persistence, and your side began to gather people attracted by your unique charm. That's exactly what I expect from you in the second word. ”
"Tong, I hope you can become a superior, become a general, and lead the army!"
General!
This kind of literal made Qiao Dingtong feel extremely strange and distant, but when it came out of Qiao Ximing's mouth, it was so firm, as if it was a fact within reach, just waiting for his determination.
"Captain ......" Qiao Dingtong felt that his voice was a little hoarse, and the inferiority caused by his identity and the pursuit brought by worship made him struggle in his heart.
"Really, can I do it?"
Qiao Ximing's eyes were very deep, which made Qiao Dingtong feel as if he was in a desolate place, and then he saw an illusion again.
The corners of this man's mouth hooked up again.
"Joe, it's my last name!"
Yes, Qiao Dingtong, his surname, isn't it just with him?
"From this day on, forget your slave status, the men of my branch will be men who stand up to the sky. ”
Macho?
"In order to protect the most important thing in our hearts, if the sky falls, we support it with our backs, and if the ground cracks, we step on the ...... with our feet."
For the future of my younger siblings.
"If someone has bad intentions......"
Kill, kill, kill! An unstoppable sharp gaze finally shot out of his eyes.
"I'll kill them all with you!"
Qiao Dingtong looked at the palm that stretched out again in front of him, and he felt that he could hear the beating of the heart in his chest.
"With me, step on the top of this world, are you willing?"
Facing the palm that was reaching out to him for the second time, he didn't hesitate for a moment.
Qiao Dingtong stretched out his hands, held the palms in front of him, and knelt on his knees.
"Qiao Dingtong, command!"
