At Lin Lin's insistence, Qiushui waited until his body was basically healed before he was finally allowed to go out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At this moment, it has been two full days since he woke up.

In the marshal mansion of Dashan City, there were three people with serious expressions, as if they were discussing something. In addition to Zhan Long and Haodong, there was also a man in red civilian clothes, sitting on the seat on the right. I saw that he had dark skin, a strong figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a feeling of not being angry and arrogant. This person is the general of the Fifth Army, He Shan, who originally guarded the south and just arrived here with his troops yesterday. Due to the weakness of the rebels in the south, the number of soldiers under He Shan was not large. However, after Lu Zhong's rebellion, the Second Army was also temporarily assigned to his command, forming a combat force that should not be underestimated. As a result, except for the Third Army where Emperor Yan and Ma Liang were located, the rest of the main battle troops had gathered here.

"Since the fall of the East City, the strategic significance of the West City has also disappeared. In the past few days, the rebels have successively withdrawn from the west city and returned to Manchester City. However, it is worth noting that according to the news from the scouts, Wang Gang and his team were not found among the rebels. War Dragon said with a solemn expression.

"According to what you mean, those hostages may still be in Xicheng? This is too ridiculous, what reason do the rebels have to do this?" He Shan immediately retorted, he was such a straightforward person, he had always spoken without regard for emotion, and even made Emperor Yan angry several times.

"I don't think it's impossible. If the rebels did leave them in the West Side, there were only three possible reasons. First, they want to confuse us and make us think that the hostages have been transferred to Manchester City. Second, they thought that Xicheng was protected by the formation and was still quite safe. Third, there are still people in the West City to guard it. On the whole, I think the first and third points are more likely, as for the second point, there have been rebels entering the city earlier, and the formation is bound to be closed. Even if it is opened again, how confident will the rebels be able to stop the three of us?"

When the other two heard this, they nodded in agreement.

"So, did the rebels offer any quid pro quo?" He Shan asked again, since he had just arrived here yesterday, something was still unclear.

"At the beginning, there were indeed rumors that as soon as our garrison withdrew from the East City, they would release the hostages immediately. ”

"Shit! Those eight calves are daydreaming all day long. He Shan slapped the table and looked very excited. However, the other two can also understand, after all, on the battlefield, every city is exchanged for the lives of countless soldiers, not to mention that the eastern city is of great strategic significance, how can they say retreat?

"Naturally, I didn't say yes. The rebels saw no hope of recovery, so they went back in disgrace. If they left the hostages in Xicheng, it is likely that another reason is that they are afraid that we will set up an ambush halfway and directly use force to snatch the hostages back. In fact, that's exactly what I had planned. As if in order to calm He Shan's mood, Zhan Long said in a relieved tone.

At this time, Haodong suddenly stood up from his seat. Facing Zhan Long and He Shan, who were slightly puzzled, he clenched his fists and said: "Two generals, my subordinates were captured by the enemy this time, and as the commander, I have an unshirkable responsibility. Since they may still be in the West City, I hope to go to the rescue myself and atone for my sins. ”

Seeing this, the other two also hurriedly stood up. Zhan Long originally wanted to dissuade him, but seeing Haodong's determination, he finally nodded: "The trip to Xicheng is a foregone conclusion, but there are dangers and dangers there, and it is extremely dangerous. The Haodong brothers are strong and strong, and they believe that they are enough to turn the danger into a disaster and bring Wang Gang and them out. However, the rebels have always been cunning, and they still need to have a few more eyes. In addition, He Shan and I will take care of the affairs of the army, but it is better to go and return quickly, so as not to disturb the morale of the army. ”

At this time, I saw Qiushui gasping for air and walked into the hall.

"General Zhanlong, Captain Haodong, and ......." Seeing a few people in front of him, Qiushui hurriedly saluted. However, he obviously didn't know He Shan yet, and he paused there for a while.

"This is General He Shan, the commander of the Fifth Army. Haodong introduced with a smile. He looked at the autumn water and secretly marveled in his heart. You must know that a few days ago he was still seriously injured and unconscious in bed. At this moment, his face is ruddy, and it seems that he has recovered at least ninety percent, and the speed is not fast.

"Little brother, what's the matter?" Zhan Long asked with a smile. After this mission, Qiushui and the others left a deep impression on him. Coupled with the many deeds mentioned by Haodong before, he simply saw the shadow of his youth from Qiushui.

"Ah, this...... Actually, I wanted to ask if there was anything I could do to help. Qiushui scratched his head, showing a rare hint of shyness, probably because he didn't expect War Dragon to call himself so affectionately. In fact, the matter of Xicheng has nothing to do with him, but he always feels that he has dragged his feet when he is in Dongcheng, and he can't get over that hurdle in his heart, so he wants to find a chance to make up for it.

Hearing Qiushui's words, both Zhan Long and He Shan turned their eyes to Haodong. I saw Haodong frowning, and while thinking, he looked Qiushui up and down. Looking at his expectant gaze, Haodong sighed lightly, and then grinned, revealing a autumn-like signature smile.

When he returned to his residence, he found that Zhu Jue and Yan Boshu were already in the room. Zhu Jue, as a subtle powerhouse, has an amazing recovery speed, and now his body has already healed. As for the book of Yan Bo, although his complexion is a little worse, it shouldn't be a big deal. As soon as they saw Qiushui, they stood up and asked him where he had gone.

"What, you haven't recovered from your injuries, and you want to participate in such a dangerous operation again?really, what does Captain Haodong think?" After listening to Qiushui tell what happened, Yan Boshu shook his head again and again, with an expression that he couldn't understand at all.

"I'm so envious...... Zhu Jue muttered, he has been feeling the joy of fighting more and more recently, and his previous step-by-step life suddenly seemed so pale and powerless.

"But what about Lin Lin's side, she definitely won't agree to you to take the risk, right?" Qiushui frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly had an idea, and said to Zhu Jue and Yan Boshu: "It's better to do this, you keep it secret for me first." ”

"Is this the way you came up with it?" said Yan Boshu with a look of helplessness.

"Speaking of which, what about Lin Lin?" Qiushui looked around, but didn't see her. If it had been a few days ago, she would have already come here to deliver medicine to Qiushui.

Yan Boshu shook his head, and didn't seem to see Lin Lin either. And Zhu Jue suddenly remembered something, clapped his hands and said: "By the way, I met Lin Lin on the way here before, she was holding a vegetable basket in her hand, and it seemed that she was going to cook for us herself!" As he spoke, he also licked his lips, revealing a look of considerable anticipation.

"Hey, what about the two of them, they were obviously still here just now......" Looking at the empty room, Zhu Jue showed a look of confusion.
