Arranged for Dawu to find a nanny to guard the house, and at noon Dawu brought back a woman and a girl of five or six years old. As soon as we met, I took the child and kowtowed, and I couldn't drag it!

"Young master, her name is Cao Dong, her husband just died, she sold the house, paid off the arrears and sent her husband, and there is nowhere to go with the children, so I brought it!"

Looking at the way people are also considered to be Zhou Zheng's duty, so be it! Tell Dawu that you are responsible for the end and take them to buy some clothes to change. When you come back, you can register with the Japanese and find a school for your child! The child only has a nickname "Lan Lan", and he will be called Cao Lan if he says that his big name is Cao Lan!

I went to see Ikegami in the afternoon and told him that things had been done and that the British were not mistaken! I plan to return to Xi'an tomorrow, and hold a banquet in the evening to thank Chisue-kun again. Ikegami said that it was a pity that important supplies came from Japan at night, and he had to protect them. Tomorrow morning to see you off at the villa!

In the morning, Han Ping nodded to me. Cao Chang came to see him off with red eyes, and repeatedly apologized that Chi Shangjun was still at his post, so he had to arrange for himself to replace him. repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Cao Chang and Chi Shangjun, asked Cao Chang to help take care of the two nannies, and waved goodbye to Cao Chang and the nanny.

On the way, Han Ping briefly introduced the action. The other party was defenseless, and the bodyguard drank alcohol, and he didn't wake up when he walked to his bed. directly shot the bodyguard and Wu Zequan, knocked his wife and nanny unconscious, and seized 2 pistols, more than a dozen gold bars and some pounds. I didn't get my papers, and I was a major in the Renaissance Society. The before and after time did not exceed ten minutes.

It is more than 300 miles to Baoding, and it is already more than one o'clock in the afternoon to Baoding. Baoding is an important military town in North China, and the military control is still relatively tight. My uncle's innkeeper and his companion had been waiting at the city gate for a long time, chatting with the soldiers, and they seemed to be more familiar. When he saw Opel, he greeted him.

After getting out of the car and saying a few words, the shopkeeper introduced a captain of the Northwest Army next to him and said, "Young master, this is the commander of Chang Company." Looking at the tall soldier in a shabby military uniform and carrying a shell gun, he arched his hand and asked, "Company Commander Chang is from Shaanxi?" ”

"Shaanxi elm, we are fellow villagers!" Chang Lian Chang was full of smiles and was very enthusiastic.

"Young master, the company commander of the warehouse has taken care of it."

"Company Commander Chang, thank you!"

"Haha, they're all fellows, they should be!"

There was a squad of soldiers at the gate of the city, also with shabby clothes and carrying Hanyang-made clothes that were about to be scrapped. I felt that I should give them some help, and there was no need to bring back the ten Mauser short rifles I had brought.

"Han Ping, bring a shell gun."

"Company Commander Chang, I see that yours are a little old, how about replacing it for you?"

"Oh, the fellow is generous!"

Company Commander Chang took the shell gun handed to him and said, "Made in Germany!" Good gun, good gun, thank you, fellow! ”

"Haha, they're all fellows, they should be!" The original words are sent back.

"Company Commander Chang, I see that you are a good soldier, but your gun is not good!"

"Alas, who let Feng Dashuai lose, it's a miscellaneous card, it's not as good as the Central Army, and it's not as good as the Northeast Army."

"Company Commander Chang, what if I exchange ten original German rifles for your ten soldiers?"

"Then you lose your fellow countrymen, the German ones can be sold for 150 oceans, and now you can recruit a soldier for 30 oceans."

"It's not a loss, a fellow countryman! I'm going to pick up the troops. ”

"Okay! I'll let the whole company assemble in the playground, you pick it yourself, the officer can't be registered. ”

"Company Commander Chang gathers people, Han Ping gathers the German rifles in the front car, with 2,000 rounds of ammunition, and you will choose people later."

The barracks of the company commander is outside the city, a row of old houses, and a small playground. Looking at the line lined up in three rows, it should be less than 110 people. asked: "Chang Lian Commander, are you all together?" ”

Company Commander Chang looked at it, patted his head and shouted: "Iron egg? Shouting made his heart tremble.

"What are you doing, company commander!" A small head poked out of a doorway and asked.

"What are you doing? Didn't you and squad leader Zhao hear the gathering? Assemble and have something! ”

"Got it!"

At one point, a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a clattery, patched military uniform, dragged out a veteran in his forties with an apron. made myself a little trance, I just went to the Eighth Route Army in my previous life, and it looked like this!

"Company Commander Chang, there are still such small soldiers?"

"I picked it up, it's been half a year, and if I take it away, I'm starving to death. His father didn't know who it was, he was hunted down and killed, and he didn't even tell him his surname! He hid him in a grass nest and picked up his life, but his father did not run away and died. When asked, he couldn't tell clearly, the accent was from Sichuan, and he only remembered that he had been running around with his father since he was a child. ”

"Chang Lian Commander is kind-hearted! He and Zhao squad leader asked for it. ”

"Fellow, it's you who are kind-hearted, thank you!"

"Iron Egg! Say what you see! Your company commander has sold you to me in a hundred oceans, come with me! ”

"What?" was stunned for a while, turned his head and hugged Squad Leader Zhao and cried, and the slang in the army and Sichuan black spurted out; turned around and cried and said, "Company commander, sell the squad leader too, exchange it for two cows, and earn it!" ”

"Sold too, an ocean! Not as expensive as you! ”

Tie Dan immediately stopped crying, and wiped his tears: "You score me ten oceans, otherwise I won't leave, so you can't sell!" "Well, that's a threat! Looking at that, it's like he dealt with the old chief, the same trick.

Han Ping had already selected eight and stood in a row. Han Ping has a good eye, he is basically a young man, and he has some iron-blooded taste, and he does not lose money in trading.

He went up to them and said, "Give you ten minutes, take your money and your memorials, and don't use anything else!" Someone will take you to get a haircut, a bath, and a change of clothes. In the afternoon, fold your military uniforms and respectfully send them back to the barracks to say goodbye to your comrades! ”

"Company Commander Chang, I'm sorry! I've gone away with all the cooks, and I'll arrange for some buns to be brought to the brothers for dinner! ”

"Thank you, fellow!"

"If you're okay in the afternoon, how about drinking with me?"

"Good!"

Get in the car and head into town! The shopkeeper arranged for the men to go away with ten people; Chang Lian is familiar with the road and receives a steamed bun shop, and the store is not small; The bodyguards who entered the door were scattered and sat separately.

"Fellow, you bodyguards are not simple!"

"If you haven't been on the battlefield, you can't compare to your soldiers!"

"Hey, boss, let's get on the bun!"

came out with a half-old, greeted Chang Lian Commander warmly, and called the shopkeeper when he saw it.

"Boss, give 120 people steamed buns to eat at night and send them to the barracks of the company commander! No problem, right? I asked.

"No problem! No problem! The proprietress smiled.

"Okay, bring them two more tables of food and 10 bottles of wine, and ten more in a minute. Han Ping, you order it yourself, there will be no problem under Chang Lian Chang's rule, you don't have to get drunk. Chang Lian Commander ordered the three of us. ”

The wine and food were ready, and the company commander Chang grabbed the glass: "Borrow flowers to offer Buddha, toast a cup, thank you!" Soldiers can't speak! "It's dry!

"Fellow, don't mention the word of thanks!"

There is wine in the stomach, and the conversation box is also opened! Company Commander Chang is really a veteran soldier, he became a soldier at the age of seventeen, and he has almost twenty years of military experience. followed Feng Yuxiang to fight the Henan soldiers, the Northeast soldiers, the Central Army, and the Japanese devils....... I was illiterate, so I became a company commander. Luckily, I didn't get hurt once.

The amount of wine is good, and the wine is dry, which is very refreshing!

Ten people are back, a water bald head, a water robe and a coat! Squad leader Zhao reported that the military uniform had been sent back and said goodbye to his comrades.

"Okay, order it yourself, don't get drunk, don't waste it, come here."

"What are you doing?" Grinding on the ground, he was pushed over by squad leader Zhao.

Pressed on the stool next to him and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”

"Meat!" This time the answer was crisp.

Seeing that the elbows on the table were cold, he ordered to heat it up and push the spiced donkey meat to him. Seeing that he didn't eat well, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry! Pad it first, and there is a hot one in the back, which is more delicious! "People can't talk to me anymore.

"Tsk, that's the same for my son, it's a pity that he's older!" Company Commander Chang said regretfully.

"Then it's not bad to be a younger brother!"

"I'll be your bodyguard!" Tie Dan interjected, and he was busy eating.

"Oh? Why? ”

"The bodyguard has a gun, majestic!"

"When my brother also has a gun, it's even more majestic!"
