Chapter 257: Just Because of a Pigeon
As he spoke, the old beggar immediately threw away his crutches, and then took off his tattered coat. It turned out that his right arm was intact, just leaning against his side and hiding it. Immediately afterwards the old beggar stretched out his arm, yawned, and said:
"I'm so tired!"
After saying that, he pulled his hands on his head, threw the loose wig on his head on the floor, and rubbed his face from the bottom to the top with his hands, so that a thin film peeled off, and a delicate white face was exposed.
"Ah......h
Zhuge Jian shouted.
The person standing in front of him with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth is Bai Lang.
"I'm sorry! I'm just trying to make a joke......" Bai Lang laughed and apologized to Zhuge Jian.
"I've always been joking. I don't think we've seen each other for a long time, so it's so boring to come and visit you! That's why I want to dress up as a beggar to surprise you. ”
After saying that, Bai Lang immediately sat down, and then took out a cigar cigarette from the cigar box on the table, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and said with satisfaction:
"It's a real premium cigar smoke."
"Haha! You white lang! Zhuge Jian laughed and punched Bai Lang.
"I want to meet Song Yun." Shirarou lit a cigar.
"Call Zhuge Yun too, okay?"
"No need, just call Song Yun."
After Song Yun came, he was really overjoyed to see Bai Lang who had not been seen for a long time, and immediately went to shake hands with Bai Lang warmly.
"I'm here today to inform you of a very important matter, and that is something that has always haunted you about the woman in black."
"Well, have you learned her true identity?"
Song Yun asked nervously, because this was already a long-cherished wish in his heart.
"Yes, I know it all. As soon as the war ended, I ordered my men to investigate. On the other hand, I went to the Army Headquarters in the North to investigate information about the war, and at the same time I also interviewed the veterans who had participated in the war at that time to hear their views on the war.
"I have clearly investigated the true identity of the woman in black and the reason why your father Song Rongheng was killed, and the original confusing and mysterious case has finally been revealed to the world."
After Bai Lang spat out a beautiful smoke ring, he continued:
"I have found out all kinds of mysterious and complicated things such as the bizarre murder case, the reason why the portrait of your mother, Mrs. Zhuge Yu was replaced, and whether the woman in black and Lieutenant Colonel Lamei are the same person.
"The reason is...... Song Rongheng shot a pigeon to death when he was young......" This unexpected news shocked both Zhuge Jian and Song Yun.
"You're surprised, aren't you? You may not believe it, but it's true. Just one pigeon has caused a series of bewildering killings. In addition, I also know the reason why Zhuge Yun was imprisoned and was almost killed. ”
Bai Lang said slowly as if he was hanging his appetite.
"Hurry up, why did my father kill a pigeon......" Song Yun anxiously urged him.
"Calm down, listen to me tell you slowly, this matter must be traced back to a war between country E and the eastern province of the north many years ago.
At that time, the young people of the eastern province of the northern country took up the barrel of a gun and resolutely threw themselves into the sacred mission of defending the country. Song Rongheng is also one of the patriotic youths. Like you, as soon as he heard of the national crisis, he immediately joined the army and enlisted in the army, giving full play to his brave and loyal patriotism.
"The war lasted more than two years, and the Northland was eventually lost. However, during the war, there were also cases where the army of country E was defeated, so the two sides engaged in a tug-of-war.
"The Northern Army has won one after another, and the most significant of them is the battle related to Song Yun's father, Song Rongheng. No...... It was he who played a major role in this unprecedented battle.
"Song Yun, at that time, your father was in his thirties, and he was famous for his master archery. At that time, the sport of archery was very popular among young people in the northern province of Eastern Province, so whenever they had free time, young people would compete in archery in the vast fields.
"Once, while several young people were archery and scoring, suddenly a beautiful pigeon flew across the blue sky, and it was an autumn day. The sight of white doves fluttering their wings in the blue sky is very moving.
"Song Rongheng! Can you shoot that pigeon in the sky?" One of them asked.
"If you can shoot, then you can win the championship." The other said with a smile.
Suddenly, a sharp arrow flew into the blue sky, and while everyone was in amazement, the arrow stuck to the pigeon as if it were attracted by a pigeon. The pigeon flapped its wings vigorously and then fell to the ground.
"A young man ran over and picked up the dead pigeon, and found that an arrow had pierced the pigeon's heart impartially.
When everyone was praising Song Rongheng's archery skills, Song Rongheng held the pigeon in the palm of his hand, stroked the pigeon's back, and said to himself:
"I could have won the first prize, but this pigeon fell victim and it was so pitiful. But the pigeon was dead, but he always stared at Song Rongheng. His heart was filled with chagrin, and a feeling of pity rose in his heart. So he wiped his eyes with his fingers for the pigeon, and with great grief he wanted to bury the pigeon he had shot with his own hands.
Suddenly, he saw a small metal ring on the pigeon's foot. Yes...... This is a carrier pigeon,...... Oops! Maybe our army sent it to deliver the news, maybe the northern army was surrounded by the E army and wanted to ask for help, so this pigeon was sent......
"But I shot it to death, what should I do? Maybe a military court will punish me. I have to report this to the captain. Thinking of this, Song Rongheng was shocked, and he was no longer in the mood to continue the game. So, Song Rongheng immediately went to the unit and told the captain about the whole incident.
The captain was really taken aback and hurriedly sent the metal ring to the headquarters, but unexpectedly found that the cylinder contained important information about the E Army, where the detailed battle plan reported by the E Army to the headquarters was written.
"As a result of this important information, the Northland Army was well aware of the battle plan of Army E. Therefore, after the battle began, Army E was easily defeated and suffered heavy losses.
"After that battle, a division of country E was wiped out, and the northern war was won. This is the credit of Song Rongheng shooting the carrier pigeon to death, so Song Rongheng was awarded the Medal of Honor by the Northern Government.
The news immediately spread among the troops of the Northland. Song Rongheng became the focus of attention for a while, and his Medal of Honor was affectionately known as the Order of the Pigeon.
"Song Yun, this is the story of your father who shot pigeons. From there, he became a very active soldier, but then it took an unfortunate turn for him. ”
