"Shhhh Jack whispered.

"Rest where you are, and go into the mountain in fifteen minutes." The squad leader announced, and the rest of the fighters also took turns to rest, and the captives sat down listlessly in the shade.

It's already mid-April, and the weather is getting hotter. There is a proverb in this world similar to the spring and autumn frost in the past, so even when the temperature has risen, the salvation army and the prisoners here are still wearing long-sleeved and thick clothes, and by noon, they are extremely hot.

Jack and Tom also found a place to wipe their sweat, and then Jack whispered, "Do you know why I didn't choose to go home and not choose to join?" ”

Tom shook his head. Jack sighed and said, "It's good to choose to go home, but the world is so big, where can you escape?" If we are found to have accepted money from this rebel army, must we not be considered an accomplice? ”

Tom nodded and said, "Then why don't you choose to join, they are so strong in combat, maybe they can succeed one day." Even Commander Tyr, with such a strong strength, was still killed by their thing called a gun? ”

Jack glanced at Tom, then smirked, "You, you don't know one thing." Captain Tyr is better than those of us who don't know magic, so he doesn't know how high he is. But—" Jack saw that the People's Salvation Army was looking this way, and immediately closed his mouth.

Tom also asked stupidly, "But what?" ”

"Over there, don't talk to each other!" A People's Salvation Army soldier shouted when he saw Tom and Jack biting their ears, startling Tom.

After the People's Salvation Army turned around for a while, Tom breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jack beside him, only to find that Jack had already ducked behind the thick tree and waved at him.

Tom's heart trembled, and his body was sweating profusely. He hesitated, but found that the soldiers were all looking in this direction.

At Jack's urging, he finally made up his mind, ran behind the tree, and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Jack "shh Therefore, we cannot accept the kindness of the rebels, let alone join the rebels, or die without a place to be buried. ”

Tom's eyes flashed with a hint of complexity, but he still suppressed the fear in his heart and asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Jack said, "Simple, we dodge this time, as long as they don't spot us, after they're gone, we can escape." ”

Tom was surprised and asked, "What about the points?" ”

Jack shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Anyway, they won't die, if these rebels wanted to kill us, they would have killed us a long time ago." It's a big deal to be discovered, so I hurry out and say I'm. ”

Tom felt that Jack's brain circuit was not something that ordinary people could follow, and at this moment, he had already hidden behind a tree, and there was no other way but to believe Jack's words. So Tom followed Jack, silently waiting for the minutes to pass.

Finally, there was movement on the side of the People's Salvation Army, neither checking people nor counting, the squad leader just urged: "Hurry up, lunch has been missed, don't look back and can't even catch up with dinner." ”

They walked down the avenue, away from the tree where Tom and Jack were hiding. Tom finally breathed a sigh of relief, he wiped the sweat from his head, lay down behind the tree, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect it to be true." What rebels, when they are propagandizing, talk about overthrowing the old system and saving the people, in the end, they don't have anything to do with themselves. ”

Jack nodded in agreement, but what Tom didn't notice was that the squad leader of the People's Salvation Army, lowered the brim of his hat, glanced at the big tree where they were hiding, and then turned to the front of the line, urging the soldiers to lead the captives to speed up the march and make sure to send the captives to the back mountain prison before dinner.

Jack and Tom hid until the sun went down and the moon hung on the branches. April has entered the early summer, and birds and insects are in the wilderness, infesting the woods. The two of them could only hear the cries of the birds returning to their nests in the woods, and the countless chirping of insects deeper in the grass.

At this time, Tom no longer lowered his voice to speak, but asked in a normal voice: "I said, the people have long been gone, when are we leaving?" Where to go? ”

Jack patted his ass and stood up, then smiled, "I don't know if there are any beasts in the night, it's better to find some sticks or weapons first." We've got a long way to go. ”

Tom also stood up with Jack's outstretched hand, he rubbed his ass and scolded, "Damn, I'm covered in dampness, where the hell are I going?" ”

Jack said lightly: "Go to the provincial capital, Montelji." ”

Tom was stunned for a moment and then said, "Are you crazy, it's better to go home than this." ”

Jack shook his head, looked at the avenue in the direction of the provincial capital, and said, "Do you know why I joined the army and joined the security corps?" ”

Tom sprang out of the grass behind the tree, walked onto the avenue, walked in the opposite direction of the provincial capital, and said, "You madman, I might as well take the money from the People's Salvation Army and go back to my hometown." The battle will start immediately, and I don't want to be cannon fodder. ”

Jack squinted, staring at Tom's back, as if he was looking at Tom as a person, and then he still said indifferently: "If you go back to your hometown, you will die, and the most unlucky people in the war are the common people." Isn't it common for soldiers of local security regiments like you and me to occasionally make cameos as bandits or robbers, kill some people, and make some extra money? ”

Tom shuddered, turned around and said in surprise, "How do you know, you've never been involved in these things?" ”

Jack laughed playfully, "Do you think you guys went drinking when they sneaked out with Captain Wu and them?" ”

Tom gasped for air, and Jack, like an experienced hunter, looked at him until Tom calmed down. Jack added, "If you are willing to think, then you can go." I think that there is a lord in the provincial city, and he is one of the top ten high-level magicians in the kingdom, and with the lord here, it is impossible to lose. ”

Tom raised his head and opened his mouth: "Last question, what are you trying to do?" ”

Jack turned around and left a fluttering sentence: "The picture is alive, it's as simple as that." Then he strode in the direction of Montelgi.

Tom thought about it, gritted his teeth again, and perhaps felt that what Jack said made sense, or maybe he had some other ideas, and finally trotted a few steps to catch up with Jack. On this clear night, the two men walked towards the strongest city in Hussein, towards Montelgi.

The day after Jack and Tom escaped from the prisoners, Lin Qiang finally dealt with many administrative aspects of Chel Town, and also had a systematic understanding of Chel Town's property resources, material conditions and business conditions. Next, it was up to him to be transferred from the mines and appointed the consul in the town of Chel, who would run the town.

He walked to the barracks converted from the security regiment, found Hal and asked, "How many people have you recruited here recently?" ”

Hal was commanding a battalion of soldiers, divided into groups for the recruits to sit in the team for training. Looking at the content of the training, Lin Qiang felt very familiar, and after watching it for a while, he realized that it was the set of military training before he crossed it. This set of things, when the People's Salvation Army was first established, was proposed by Tsuneishi, although it was not useful for combat, but it was very helpful for the construction of discipline in the team, as well as the cultivation of unity spirit, and obedience to orders.

When Hal saw Lin Qiang coming, he didn't dare to slack off, he already knew that his uncle in the past, the former mine manager, has now changed and is already the chairman of the Military Commission, the highest authority of the People's Salvation Army. So he saluted and said to Lin Qiang: "Report to Chairman Lin..."

"Stop, stop, don't call the chairman." How did Lin Qiang taste it, and how did he think it tasted very strange. He couldn't help but think of the evil old bald head in history before he crossed over in the past, and felt a chill.

So he hurriedly said, "Take the long word away." They elected me to be the head of the committee, but I was just a meeting host, and everyone was equal. Including me and you, we are also equal, but some aspects of work require your cooperation, and you need to obey orders at work. ”

Hal scratched his hair, and he felt that what Lin Qiang said was a little complicated. After all, this is a feudal society, what kind of identity is equal, work obeys organizational arrangements and so on, he can't get around the bend. After thinking about it, he asked Lin Qiang, "Then what do I call you?" ”

Lin Qiang smiled, patted his belly, which was obviously smaller because he was busy, and said, "If you want me to say, you might as well call me uncle." Although I am no longer a mine manager, my uncle will always be my uncle. ”

When Hal heard Lin Qiang's words, he also felt funny, and couldn't help laughing, and the soldiers around him all looked sideways. Hal Hu was stunned and scolded: "Damn, look at what the, it's not good to train." The soldiers hurriedly turned around and shouted slogans again.

However, after the fuss just now, Hal sighed and took the initiative to say: "But to be honest, although Uncle Yu seems kind, he always feels uncomfortable in front of these soldiers. ”

Then Hal thought for a while and said, "Why don't you do this, since you don't want to listen to this long word, I'll call you Commissioner Lin, right?" ”

Lin Qiang's footsteps stopped, chewing these three words carefully, and he suddenly remembered the grandfather he had admired the most before he crossed over. So, Lin Qiang smiled and said, "Okay, no problem, just call this, this is good." ”
