District 9

The next day, it was about two o'clock in the afternoon.

In the Muta Living Village at the junction of Zangyuan and Sichuan, He Dachuan and Meng Xi stepped off the helicopter with eight soldiers.

"Hey, Lao He, long time no see. You are so arrogant. You even got on the helicopter." A big, round man led more than 20 people to greet him and extended his palm towards He Dachuan.

"Oh, I can't help it. Now we have official meals, which are specially provided by the upper management." He Dachuan said a little Versailles: "I usually don't want to sit on it. I feel dizzy when I sit on it. The noise is too loud and it makes me feel uncomfortable. very."

"You're so arrogant, you're so arrogant." The big, round man bared his teeth and shook hands with He Dachuan.

"Let me introduce you, this is my brother Meng Xi." He Dachuan contacted the people on the ground. He did not mention Meng Xi's official position, but said in a lot of slang: "Old Meng, this is the person who fought with me before. My brother’s name is You Liang.”

"Taking" means having been in jail together. Meng Xi had spent a lot of time in Xingshan, so he understood it, but he asked curiously, "How do you beat ears outside the district?"

"I was arrested by private armed forces in Zangyuan and imprisoned for three months." He Dachuan explained smoothly.

"Ah." Meng Xi nodded, stretched out his hand and said to You Liang, "Hello, hello!"

"Hello!"

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, You Liang took the initiative and said, "Let's go, let's sit in the room."

"Okay!" He Dachuan nodded.

…

In the three-story building on the central street of Muta Village, You Liang set up three banquet tables and invited some women to accompany him. The atmosphere in the house was quite pleasant.

Let’s not talk about the nonsense we talked about while drinking. Just as the banquet was coming to an end, He Dachuan smiled and asked You Liang: “Brother, what business are you doing to make money now?”

"Hey, there are wars everywhere now, and there is nothing to do." You Liang replied smoothly: "The brothers below have hired a few small coal mines, and they can do some ground work on the way to pay for their living. Haha, We can't compare with you, you have transformed into a serious regiment-level cadre now."

"Who are you selling this coal to? Are you selling it to Zangyuan?" He Dachuan asked.

"Don't sell it there. Now that Sichuan's economy has improved and we have money, let's sell it there." You Liang bared his teeth and replied, "Brother, you have to take more care of me in the future."

"What are you taking care of? My defense area is not within the scope of your business." He Dachuan paused and said: "Brother, let's be serious, do you have any ideas to develop the army? If you want to bring people over, I will give them to you. A deputy team leader."

"Haha, let's pull him down." You Liang curled his lips and said, "Can the Sichuan Army like us?"

"Hey, the Sichuan Army has taken a fancy to people like us. What's wrong with you?" He Dachuan said carelessly: "Our Sichuan Commander Qin still has a big heart. And the ascending path here is very fair. You Look at me... I don’t have any background in Sichuan government, but I will be rewarded immediately for my meritorious service."

You Liang smiled and remained silent.

"Brother, things are no longer what they used to be. There will be wars everywhere, and military and political forces are expanding rapidly, and they have begun to radiate to various areas to be planned. If you still want to live on the ground like before, it will be very difficult." He Dachuan said lowly He said in a loud voice: "As soon as the troops arrive, you have hundreds of men and hundreds of guns. If they want to deal with you, isn't it just a matter of a word?"

"...Lao He, I have never thought about this." You Liang shook his head and replied: "I will just work on the ground and don't recruit or provoke anyone. Why are they trying to deal with me?"

He Dachuan lit a cigarette and said nothing.

"We have known each other before, and I won't hide it from you. In the past year or so, there are indeed many regular troops who want to recruit people like me." You Liang continued: "That Shaxuan in Zangyuan sent people to follow him before. I contacted him and was offered the salary of a full-time battalion commander and the opportunity to further my studies in the district, but I didn’t agree.”

"This is a good condition, why don't you agree?" He Dachuan asked.

"We are a bunch of people who are used to being unorganized." You Liang said in a low voice: "The army is good, but there are many rules! Damn it, you can't drink casually in the army, or play with women, you have to do it secretly, for fear of being punished... You Can our group of people adapt? I can be a battalion commander, deputy regiment, etc., but what can the following brothers do? They are not willing to follow us!"

He Dachuan took a puff of cigarette: "Haha, yes."

"It's not that my brothers are refuting your face, it's that people like us are suitable to lie down on the road." You Liang picked up the wine glass and said: "If we can't survive in Muta in the future, we will definitely be the first to defect to you. I can put all my men and guns at your disposal, okay?!"

He Dachuan picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Okay, I will remember what you said!"

"Haha, okay, come on, do it!"

After saying that, the two of them clinked glasses and drank in one gulp.

After the banquet, You Liang insisted on making arrangements for He Dachuan and Meng Xi, but the two made excuses to avoid it and left the wooden tower by helicopter.

On the plane, He Dachuan loosened his collar and said, "You're really right, no one wants to be a soldier now."

"Didn't he say that Muta can't stay any longer and will defect to you?" Meng Xi put his hands in and said calmly: "Just do as I say."

"We are all friends. I'm afraid I'll be embarrassed to meet each other in the future." He Dachuan replied hypocritically.

Meng Xi rolled his eyes: "How many friends do you have? If you can find him first, it means you want to eat him."

"Hehe!" He Dachuan smiled swissly: "The people under him are many young and there are many of them. I am really greedy after seeing them."

"Don't be too aggressive."

"I know it well." He Dachuan nodded.

…

Chongdu.

Qin Yu was arranging follow-up work and preparing to rush to District 8 to attend Gu Yan's wedding when he suddenly received a call from Wu Di.

"Hey, what's up?"

"When will you arrive?" Wu Di asked.

"I'm going to leave tomorrow, what's wrong?"

"Who are you taking?" Wu Di asked carefully.

"What's wrong with my wife, children, and a few people from the division?" Qin Yu replied smoothly.

"You can bring the old cat with you. I have something to tell him." Wu Di said bluntly.

Qin Yu blinked: "What do you want to talk to him about?"

"Don't worry about it, just take him with you." Wu Di replied with a smile: "You will know when we meet."

"Mainly, he's very busy right now. I don't know if he can go." Qin Yu didn't dare to say anything.

"You can let the people below stand up to him for two days!" Wu Di insisted: "I have something good to do with him, really."

"What's going on?" Qin Yu also became curious.

"Haha, I'll tell you when we meet, just bring it with you." Wu Di replied: "I, General Zheng Kai's son, and a few others will also arrive tomorrow."

"Okay, I understand." Qin Yu nodded.
