chaotic world

Chapter 41

This is a confusing answer, given by someone who either doesn't know the truth or has a mental problem.Jinshin has always boasted that he can grasp the development of the matter. He was full of confidence and thought that Zhou Lan would go one step further from him if he helped him with all his strength. Now it seems that the expected effect has not been achieved.

But he could hold his breath. The Chinese have a saying that hot tofu can't be eaten in a hurry. He lost patience with Du Yunfeng, but he will always be patient with his son.

"It must be that the information I got was too inaccurate. Commander Zhou, the security team is in chaos, and half of Fengtian City is about to be demolished." He stopped here to observe Zhou Lan's reaction.

These facts are all lice on the bald man's head, too obvious. However, Zhou Lan couldn't deny it: "Indeed, it's just some misunderstanding within my regiment. ability to resolve this crisis.”

Today, I feel really angry in my heart. Is his son bewitched?Even guns and cannons were fired at each other, and it was a battle of life and death, so they were not enemies?what is that

But he still covered up his thoughts very well. His purpose was to eliminate Du Yunfeng. Only the physical loss could free his son from the spiritual shackles, completely become himself, and complete the real return.

He thought it was not time to use hard tactics, so he used soft tricks to force the other party to submit: "But something happened to the security team, and our Japanese side can't just sit idly by. If Du Yunfeng really disobeys orders, it will endanger you as the team leader." Rule or security, that is to fight against our pro-people rule outside the pass, and to be a dangerous element that endangers the common prosperity of Greater East Asia." He paused, and continued: "Commander Zhou, if someone really rebels, our Kwantung Army must not let it go. Regardless, I hope you understand."

This is the land of the Japanese—Zhou Lan deeply realized this at this moment.He used to think that he had money, guns and cannons, and those who were not in the country or in the family were far away from him, and no matter where he went, he could form a small kingdom of his own.

But now, he might not be able to protect the person he most wanted to protect.

It was his childhood nightmare.

The nightmare came and went, ensnaring him again.

Jinxin ceased fire and came to him on his own initiative, which shows that the nature of this matter is not out of control. Zhou Lan originally thought that this was a struggle within his security team. The affairs in the eight-acre land have nothing to do with the Japanese, nor do they pose any damage or threat to the Japanese.

In this land outside the customs, no one can rebel against the Japanese, and even those suspected of rebellion will be beheaded.

Under the nest, how can there be any eggs.

Du Yunfeng is already a poor bandit now. If he pursues him closely, he is in a hurry. He doesn't know what troubles are going to happen. He can kill me, so there is nothing he can't do, Zhou Lan thought.

He wanted to catch him back, but there was no good way to solve it, he could only circle him, keep him cold, consume him, whether he should be beaten or scolded or killed, was a matter for later.However, that is a matter between the two of them, and no one else can interfere, let alone want to have anything to do with the Japanese.

"Mr. Jinxin," Zhou Lan said bluntly, expressing his position directly: "A small conflict within our regiment, some misunderstandings have not been resolved well, but I can solve this matter, I don't want to give Your army is causing trouble."

He reiterated that even though he has money, guns and people, he discovered for the first time that in front of the Japanese, in this land of Kanto, having something is equal to nothing, and he can only explain his position again.

Jinxin is always calm. He nodded as if agreeing, and patted Zhou Lan's shoulder very familiarly. It was the elder comforting the younger generation. His unhurried tone made it easy to relax. However, the content of the words was not so calm: "Commander Zhou, I trust your ability, but the situation is really dangerous."

His eyes led his fingers, and swept across the faint trace of blood on Zhou Lan's brow bone. The strength of his fingers was very slight, but the strength of his eyes was very heavy.

Zhou Lan dodges subconsciously. Although Imanobu is a Japanese, the concern for him feels from the heart and is sincere. Zhou Lan has always accepted these kind intentions and made use of them. He never feels that he has a burden. The responsibilities and obligations of the suffering of the country have nothing to do with him, he lives himself.He believed in the charm and power of money, and from this, he explained the other party's kindness with peace of mind, but today, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't explain why, as if he was imprisoned all over his body during the years when money was scarce. There is no difference in the feeling of being constrained by the left and right, but the feeling is even worse.

There will be no pies in the sky, and there is no free lunch. Jinxin can get money from him, and he can also get money from others. How can he, Zhou Lan, befriend such a senior man while doing business? A "friend" of weights?

If he can do it, so can Du Yunfeng. Why, when Zhou and Du were fighting among themselves, this Mr. Jin Xin immediately separated the enemy from friend, and his position was simply too clear.

why?

This shadow quietly covered Zhou Lan's heart. Although he looked calm, he was always a restless person. If there was no definite answer to explain the question, it would leave seeds of doubt in his heart, which would germinate from time to time. , Reminding him of the perilous crisis, he will never be able to live in peace.

But at the moment, he couldn't care less about these potential dangers. Du Yunfeng was his "big worry". Whether that guy's life or death was not entirely in his hands. With the Japanese intervening, the situation became complicated and very difficult.

His slightly dodging posture followed the scruples in his heart and he pressed the stop button. Unobtrusively, he forced himself to "accept" Jinxin's care, and restrained the urge to express his feelings directly. He politely and calmly tested Jinxin's plan "Is Mr. Jinxin worried about the damage to the strength of the security team? Adjutant Du was just confused for a while. After the misunderstanding is resolved, I will naturally appease and punish him. This man in the deep mountains and old forests will not cause too much trouble. Does he have the slightest idea?" Actions against the Japanese army will not cause trouble to you."

"Leader Zhou, don't get me wrong. I fully believe in the loyalty and unity of your regiment," Jin Xin knew exactly what Zhou Lan was thinking.He waited for a long time before he found the opportunity for Du Yunfeng to take the initiative to rebel. He had always wanted to get rid of this person, but he was afraid of Zhou Lan, and he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to deceive others, so this time, unlike in the past, he would never give in. , He continued: "However, Adjutant Du made too much noise this time. Fengtian is where the headquarters of the Kwantung Army is located. Guns and cannons have been fired under my nose. I must catch someone and have an explanation. I also hope that Commander Zhou will understand."

After all, he took another step back to ease, approached Zhou Lan, and lowered his voice a lot: "I have always been very happy with the cooperation with Commander Zhou. As for Adjutant Du, you know, I only care about the affairs of the military department." I can try to say something, but I don’t have the right to make a decision.”

As the senior chief of staff of the Japanese Army Headquarters, Imanobu has traveled and served in China for many years. As the chief of staff of the Chinese Expeditionary Army in East China, he is also an important figure in the General Staff of the Japanese Army, not to mention the Kwantung Army.

Because of his outstanding achievements in military strategy and intelligence collection and judgment, when he was transferred to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, his rank was promoted from major general to major general, only one level lower than Lieutenant General Takashi Hishikari, the commander of the Kwantung Army. The senior internal reference officer, Commander Lian Lingjialong, listened to his advice on many things and sold him a little bit of noodles.But this is only the internal situation of his military headquarters, Zhou Lan has no way of knowing, he does not know that Mr. Imanobu, who looks gentle and non-threatening, is the head of the Japanese army like a killing machine, and the devil among the devils .

"But the situation is too big, and I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help him. He's a subordinate of Commander Zhou. If he doesn't resist desperately and doesn't cause further casualties, I might try my best to help Commander Zhou keep this man. But if he is stubborn and continues to endanger the safety of the place, there is nothing I can do, I can only abandon the soldiers to protect the army."

Abandon the soldiers to protect the army!

Isn't that the only way to die?

Zhou Lan once again tasted the sense of crisis of human beings, but no matter what, he couldn't let Du Yunfeng become a fish to be slaughtered.

"Mr. Jinxin, I understand what you said, but please give me a chance." Zhou Lan asked eagerly.

When he was dying in the gold mine, he never begged the Japanese. When he was besieged by the Japanese army in Xing County, when his life was dying, he never gave in.To this day, he can't take care of it all. Every bullet fired by the guns covering the mountains and plains can kill Du Yunfeng.

That was Du Yunfeng's order.

He, Zhou Lan, can spare his life, but can he spare Du Yunfeng's?

He and Imanobu Yaqing reached a temporary consensus that Zhou Lan's troops would be the vanguard, and the Japanese army would follow behind, saying that they were escorts, but in fact they were supervision, and escorted Zhou's troops forward.

The hundreds of people led by Du Yunfeng actually had very limited directions to go. They couldn't go in the direction of the urban area, and they couldn't go to the crowded villages. It was easy to expose the target and be besieged. That person can't escape from a place where he can't walk or go.

Zhou Lan was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. He had to find Du Yunfeng before the Japanese made a move, grabbed him in his hand, and put it in his mouth. Whoever was robbing him for food would be courting death. You have to earn a living to the death.

Both the security regiment and the Japanese army brought military dogs, barking and running all the way.

Forest sea snowfield, deciduous trees, tall, gray and black, spread over the hillside, people, horses, and dogs walk through the forest. It was almost evening, the sun was getting dim, and the forest seemed to have some kind of magical color. Boundless, as if you can never go out, it makes people hopeless, long hopeless, anxious hopeless.

Zhou Lan was wearing knee-high riding boots. The uppers and shafts of the boots were originally pitch-black, and they were dirty from stepping on the mud, thick snow and fallen leaves. the climb.

He knew that Du Yunfeng was not far away. If he hadn't been pressed too hard, Du Yunfeng would not have given up on Xuelizhan. He loved that horse that was as eyeball-like as his own. How could he give up so easily after a hail of bullets?

I was with him through wind and rain, why did he give up so easily?

Zhou Lan's mind was buzzing, Du Yunfeng shot at him, and now he started to react.

He shot me, Zhou Lan thought, he really shot me.

After realizing it, he clutched his chest, as if he was out of breath from the fatigue of climbing the mountain.Only he himself knows that his heart hurts more than being shot by a bullet.

It hurt so much, it made him cry.

He couldn't make a sound, the cold wind was bitter, and the cold tears flowed into his heart, colliding with unwillingness and anxiety, as if molten steel met the cold air, sparks flew everywhere in an instant, and bloomed silently.

The heart hurts, the scorching hot molten steel burns him, and the bursts of Sanwei real fire are rushing up, burning him, and there is a fire in his throat.

Can't remember when the problem fell, his throat was speechless.

He couldn't vomit this bitterness, he couldn't vomit it.

He also has no one to vomit.

Du Yunfeng was carrying a cane, which was used as a walking stick for climbing the mountain. The mountain was getting steeper and steeper. He only knew the general direction. He didn't know the terrain to climb over the mountain. He had no choice.

When he encountered the Japanese, he knew that he was probably doomed.

It was so desolate, the person he valued more than his own life turned out to be his father-killing enemy, that person deceived him so hard, back then that person pointed a gun at his head and swore utterly and convincingly.And he was like a fool, he listened, believed, fell in love, and was determined to treat that person as a friend, a brother, and a lover.

Sleeping together in the same bed is lingering until death.

Scenes of the past, so real, yet so unreal.

Look, the pursuers all over the mountains and plains.

He actually notified the Japanese to come after him. He even notified the Japanese about the two of them.

Is he afraid that he can't kill me, so let the Japanese help to kill me?He killed my father, now he has torn his face, and finally revealed his final face, he wants to drive me to death, get rid of me soon.

Has Zhou Lan not done enough to kill everything?

Du Yunfeng gave up the station in the snow. The mountain was too steep, and the speed would slow down with a horse, so he had to give up.At the foot of the mountain was Zhou Lan, he would not treat Xuelizhan badly, Du Yunfeng knew that.

Zhou Lan will not let go of the brothers who rebelled with him in the security group. He is such a person who will take revenge. He will not let anyone who betrayed him.

When Du Yunfeng disbanded the troops, he made a good explanation, and they dispersed, whether they lived in the wild or lived in the city, it didn't matter, but they must never return to the security team.

With fewer people, the goal is smaller.

His buddies in Black Eagle Mountain, Jin Xiaoman, Li Shusen and his like, would never leave him even if they died. There is no reason for them to go their separate ways in the face of adversity. The eldest brother treats them well, although he occasionally has a little bit of errands. , but when they saw the real chapter, they didn't eat soft rice.

The remaining ten or so people are high concentrations of desperadoes.

They have lost the ability to choose, and can only escape in one direction to the top of the mountain, hoping to climb over this unknown mountain, get rid of the predicament of repeated mountains and rivers, and regain their vitality.

The mountain is so high that it leads all the way to heaven and hell.

Zhou Bu and the Japanese army who were chasing were getting closer and closer, and Du Yunfeng and the others had almost reached the top of the mountain. Facing the golden sunset, Du Yunfeng saw the way ahead——

This majestic mountain is really crafted by the gods, one side is like the back of a cow, which is the way they go up the mountain, while the other side is like a ghostly axe, standing on a cliff, straight up and down, at a glance, it is almost bottomless, unless he knows Fly, otherwise there is no escape anyway.

There was a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, and then he turned around. Hundreds of soldiers led by Zhou Lan had already pursued him.

The soldiers in the surrounding area were like a fan, and they surrounded the small group of desperadoes step by step. On the outside, a larger number of Japanese soldiers surrounded everyone in iron barrels, making it airtight.

Among the many people, Zhou Lan turned around and explained a few words to Jinxin. Jinxin tried to stop him, but Zhou Lan insisted on getting out of the protection of the steel forest, and came out alone from the group of steel guns and iron cannons.

He even made a gesture of surrender, raised his empty hands, and walked towards his lover on the cliff step by step.

"Yunfeng, come back with me, and I will give you a satisfactory explanation."

He is almost begging the other party, nothing is important, life is the most important, Du Yunfeng is a straight-hearted person, his upright temperament and nature of distinguishing between love and hate are out of date and dangerous at this moment, a single impulse will kill his life.

Even if Du Yunfeng shot at him, even if Du Yunfeng kept saying that he wanted to kill him for revenge, Zhou Lan still instinctively felt that Yunfeng would not harm him. In contrast, he still chose to believe in Du Yunfeng.

There is no need for a reason, even if it is a matter of life and death.

Du Yunfeng looked at him, the emotional impression of pain and reluctance in his eyes was no less than that of the other party, but his filial piety would never allow him to make compromises.

"If," he asked in pain when the matter came to an end, "I killed your father with my own hands, what would you do?"

Behind Du Yunfeng is a vast expanse of emptiness, accompanied by the sunset glow, which is indescribably magnificent and dazed.

"Yunfeng," Zhou Lan said from the bottom of his heart at the moment. He didn't dare to be vague and perfunctory. Dad, I probably don't care too much, really, I—”

Before he finished speaking, Du Yunfeng laughed dumbfoundedly: "Are you crazy? If your Zhou family ancestor, if there is a spirit in the sky, wouldn't you die with regret after hearing your rebellious words?"

"If the ancestors of the Zhou family can really show their spirits, you should probably thank me at this moment." Zhou Lan said without humility: "Yunfeng, listen to me, you are the real only seedling of the Zhou family, I am just a fake, I don't know Where did it come from, I don't know who my real father is, I don't mind if you kill him, really."

"Zhou Lan, are you crazy? What kind of lies are you telling? Haven't you lied to me enough?"

"I have never lied to you. I have lied to many people, but I have never lied to you." Seeing that Du Yunfeng didn't believe it, Zhou Lan became more and more eager to explain: "Old Du just adopted you. When I was mature, I used you to compete for the property of the Zhou family. You and your mother were his stepping stones. I knew these things when I was very young. I'm afraid of being scolded, I admit that I have selfish intentions, I want to be the legitimate son of the Zhou family, I don't want to be rootless and have nothing to rely on, you may not understand, but this is really the truth."

Du Yunfeng lowered his eyebrows for a moment, then smiled: "So you want to say, Lao Du is not my real father, you are not my real father, you are not my father-killing enemy, right?"

Haha, what a joke, a big lie.

"Zhou Lan, you are such a good liar. You lied once and I believed it. Are you going to repeat the same trick today and trick me again?" Du Yunfeng's eyes were red. How could the person he loves be like this? Again, again and again to lie to him, to fool him?

The person who sleeps in the same bed and puts it on top of your heart, you just treat me like a monkey?In order to get rid of the suspicion of killing my father, even my ancestors have to be replaced?

"If I believe you again, how stupid am I?" From a distance of two or three steps, Zhou Lan could already see the red blood in Du Yunfeng's eyes. He could see the pain in his eyes, and his heart felt uncomfortable.

"Yunfeng, trust me again." Zhou Lan's voice was already hoarse, but now he was already trembling: "I will do whatever you want to punish, we are brothers, we are husband and wife, we are brothers who break bones and connect tendons. My dear, if you don’t believe me, no one will believe me, I only have you, I only want you.”

Du Yunfeng's heart turned cold. The last time Zhou Lan pointed a gun at his head, he was also extremely sincere.Du Yunfeng looked at the other party, he thought, Zhou Lan is really sure of me in this life, I really fucking believe what he said.

Once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of well ropes, emotionally, he has actually begun to believe Zhou Lan's words, but his reason is still there, so he asked hard: "If I don't believe it, how about you?"

Zhou Lan took another step towards him.

Imanobu in the large army looked at the two people, the wind was strong on the mountain, and the voice of the voice could not be heard. Variables, fearing for his life, he tilted his head slightly, and gave an order: "Sir Yamashita, if the man surnamed Du endangers Zhou Lan's safety, he will be killed on the spot; if he is soft, take him back to the military headquarters and create another opportunity." Kill him."

"Hi!" Teruo Yamashita took the order with a low and decisive voice.

On the other side, Zhou Lan was already very close to Du Yunfeng. He wanted to see through his eyes, and almost wanted to throw him down and press the button to tie it up, but there was an abyss a few steps behind him, and his life might be in danger if he acted rashly.

He replied with the same heart and mind: "Yunfeng, look at the Japanese all over the mountains and plains, can you run away?"

"You threatened me with the Japanese?"

"I want to save your life. If you continue to resist, I can't save you. The Japanese will really kill you." Zhou Lan growled in a low voice, he couldn't let Imanobu hear him, but Du Yunfeng was so stubborn, His hoarse voice has broken, and the scorching fire in his heart almost burns him to pieces.

Du Yunfeng smiled contemptuously, and he said meaningfully: "Are the Japanese gods? News is better than rats. They got the news as soon as my side shot and rebelled, and they still have time to set up an ambush and attack me. He lowered his head slightly, and continued to ask with a little sarcasm: "Commander Zhou, if you hadn't notified them, would they have responded so quickly? I don't believe it. You don't want to put me to death. They will do it. They are not your favor." Any help?"

"Leader Zhou, tell me, it wasn't you who tipped off the news, why did they come so quickly?"

Zhou Lan was justified but couldn't say anything, he was angry and anxious: "I don't know."

Du Yunfeng laughed, he is not afraid of death, in other words, when he thinks about killing Zhou Lan, he doesn't want to live anymore.

"I won't go back with you. I can tell you frankly that I have no bullets. You can shoot me to death. If you don't kill me, as long as I have breath, I will kill you." .”

The cold wind howled, and Jin Xiaoman, Li Shusen and others on the edge of the cliff also suffered injuries of varying severity. desperate situation.

Zhou Lan's eyes diffused over the crowd and refocused on Du Yunfeng. The other party was still wearing the unfashionable suit, thin and straight, and a piece of gold chain was shaking slightly. I don't know if it was the cold wind or the owner of the suit. trembling.

"Okay, even if what I'm telling is all lies and I don't force you to believe it, can you forgive me just once? I've never asked you anything, just this one time?" Zhou Lan has nothing to do with Du Yunfeng.

Du Yunfeng stared at him for a long time, then closed his eyes hard, he choked up in a low voice, "I want you to forgive you", then opened his eyes, with strength in them: "Unless you die!"

Zhou Lan shook his head in pain. He held his head in his hands. The Browning in his hand made his temples hurt from the cold. Those dark thoughts in his nature appeared.

The scorching blood in his chest was suppressed, followed by the cold self in his nature.

He slowly raised his gun.

Du Yunfeng is not afraid of death anymore, are you still afraid of his threats?

Is it true that a person who is not afraid of death is not afraid of anything?

Du Yunfeng was sneering, laughing at his helplessness.

Zhou Lan was also sneering. He slightly shifted his gun and aimed at the crowd behind him, as if possessed by an indifferent god of death. He said indifferently, "Xiaoman, have you betrayed me too?"

Before Jin Xiaoman could speak, he shot the opponent in the leg, and Jin Xiaoman fell into the snow with a scream, cursing in his mouth: "Zhou, you bastard, I will kill your whole family!"

Du Yunfeng understood, he turned around and pulled Jin Xiaoman up, and hid behind him. He had been frozen for too long, staggered, and roared in embarrassment: "Are you still human? Xiaoman has been with you for so many years, you broke him knee."

"If you don't come with me, they will all die." Zhou Lan looked at him stubbornly.
