In the shooting range of Xiaotongguan, gunshots rang out all morning.

Qiao Song looked at Duan Yelin who had been non-stop for several hours, and wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but he didn't know how to speak. He watched more and more bullet casings at his feet, and the gun targets rotted into beehives.

After the last bullet was fired, he replied: "Commander, all the pensions have been sent down, and the bandits and soldiers have also been buried."

"En." Duan Yelin responded in a low voice, and unloaded the pistol. Qiao Song saw that his palms were flushed.

"Is there anything else you can do, Commander?"

"Where is the jungle gate?"

"I'm afraid he's locked up in Juntong's own private prison. He's been sick for the past few days and doesn't go out and doesn't see anyone. But the house is full of leaks. It's really 300 taels of silver here!"

The bandits are all dead, and there is no witness.No matter how suspicious the bandits are this time, it is useless. Without evidence, it is empty talk. Yuan Sen's move is ruthless enough.

His purpose of taking away the jungle was nothing more than to be a scapegoat. Duan Yelin had already submitted the testimony signed by the bandits. Although it would not be of much use, it was an accusation after all, and someone had to come forward to take the blame.Although the jungle is not innocent, it is also miserable to blame this kind of people.

Duan Yelin thought for a while: "We found a lot of gold from the bandits' lairs, all of which were given to them by Yuan Sen. You should take them neatly and give them to the cabinet as our income from suppressing bandits."

Qiao Song saluted: "Yes! I will definitely complete it in secret!"

"No, I don't need you to do it in secret. I want you to move as big as possible. Be sure to let Yuan Sen know."

"Yeah?" Qiao Song was stunned.

What's the reason for this? Isn't the commander confronting Yuan Sen?

"Yuan Sen has already lost most of his property in the previous engineering accident, and with this ambush, he has spent a lot of money. He must be struggling now." Xu Hang heard their voices outside the door, and pushed the door in. Explain to Qiao Song, "So, if he knows that a large sum of gold he spent was confiscated for nothing, what do you think he will do?"

Please enter the urn, it is a trap.

The cabinet has been extravagant in the past two years, and the national treasury has long been strained due to years of wars. Now that Duan Yelin has reported such a large sum of money to help the emergency, they are very happy.

Anyone who dared to take this money would definitely be asking for trouble.

Qiao Song suddenly realized, and hurried out.

"You always see clearly." Duan Yelin looked at Xu Hang with some appreciation. He was busy with the funerals of hundreds of people these days, and he hadn't closed his eyes for several nights.

Xu Hang walked forward, raised his hand, and covered Duan Yelin's eyes: "Since we have already made plans, just wait slowly, there are some things that cannot be rushed."

Duan Yelin felt the warmth above his eyelids, and the haze of the past few days dissipated slightly. He took Xu Hang's hand, put him on his knee, and buried his head on his shoulder.

He sighed.

"Shaotang, an old lady came to pick up her son's body yesterday... She had been a widow for many years, and she was the only son, and she fainted from crying on the spot. She regretted letting him join the army. When she saw me, she only said one sentence Talk..." Duan Yelin paused before continuing, "She said, 'Why didn't you die?'"

Xu Hang's neck froze and his throat choked.

Duan Yelin said again: "I know she didn't really curse me to death, she just felt so hurt. I remember her son, who just came here for a year, was like a stunned young man on the first day of the army. He said he My dream is to fight with me for the rest of my life. It might be better if he died on the battlefield, but he didn't die well."

"Shaotang, I know you hate warlords, and sometimes I hate them too. I only want to serve the country and drive the Japanese out of China, but for so many years, most of my energy has been wasted on my own people's schemes. "

"The morals of the world cannot be changed by just one or two people. I have long understood this truth. Now I don't dare to extravagantly seek to protect the country, but I want to keep the small city of Hezhou safe. No matter who it is, I can't hurt my people."

His voice was soft and slow, and Xu Hang could hear a lot of fatigue from it. This seemed to be the first time he saw Duan Yelin showing such weakness.

It turns out that this guy who drinks blood to quench his thirst will also be sad.His seemingly broad shoulders carried a heavy burden on his bones, but it might not be a weight he could bear.

Unable to resist stretching out his hand, Xu Hang stroked his back again and again, as if comforting a huge shepherd dog.

"There's no rush... Heaven's law is reincarnated, retribution is not good, and no one who really deserves his life can't escape." Xu Hang's eyes were a little empty, and the words he said were completely cool.

Probably he spoke softly, Duan Yelin didn't hear clearly, raised his head and asked: "What?"

"No." Xu Hang changed the subject, "By the way... Duan Zhanzhou didn't make a scene?"

This name obviously gave Duan Yelin a headache. He rubbed his temples: "Come on, he ran to the Military Command Mansion with a gun in his hand. Fortunately, I tied him back in time."

So restless?Xu Hang was a little surprised, but he understood after thinking about it.

Duan Zhanzhou is also a person who understands the situation. In the current situation, if the jungle falls into Yuan Sen's hands, it is likely to be a dead end.

Unfortunately, the jungle is beyond salvation.

----

On the other side of Xiaotongguan, Duan Zhanzhou was ordered by Duan Yelin to hand over his guns, and he was not allowed to leave half a step, and even any soldier was not allowed to listen to his orders, lest he be impulsive and willful.

Duan Zhanzhou paced back and forth in the room, his anxious emotions were all written under his feet.He knew that he was reckless, and he would be so stupid as to rush straight into the Juntong Mansion.

It's just that that guy is not under his nose, and he is seriously injured, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, so he can't sit still for a moment.

A servant who cleaned the room came out of the jungle room, holding a small box, and smiled obsequiously: "Commander, this belongs to that traitor, or should I throw it away for you, so as not to worry you?"

This time people have a good way of following others. Duan Zhanzhou, the commander of the army, will soon be promoted to the governor of Chengdu. When he heard about the treachery in the jungle, he rushed to curry favor.

Unexpectedly, Duan Zhanzhou stared at him viciously, stood up and slapped his big ear, and shouted angrily: "Who allowed you to touch his things? Make decisions without authorization, your life is hard!"

The servant was beaten to the point where he didn't know where to go, and he fell to the ground, his ears were ringing, and he was very aggrieved while covering his face.

"me…"

"Put down the things, people get out of here!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." The servant ran away like hell.

After Duan Zhanzhou vented, he drank a big mouthful of cold water. The water slid down his throat and dissipated the coolness from his internal organs, so that he could manage to suppress the fire.

His eyes couldn't help but stop on the small box. The box was about the size of a baby, worn out, and shouldn't be able to hold much stuff. Is this what a person's entire possessions are?It seems that it can leave quietly at any time.

The guy who thought he was everywhere by his side, when he disappeared, realized that there were very few marks left by him.

After contemplating for a while, Duan Zhanzhou walked to the door, hooked a soldier and called a soldier in, and whispered in his ear: "Go to the Military Commander's Mansion and tell him that I will exchange the position of the commander with him for that life."

Originally, the military commander also wanted his own people to sit in this position. It was up to him how to choose which one was more important.

The soldier hesitated for a while: "Commander, it's not worth it for a traitor, he's dead anyway."

"What do you know!" Duan Zhanzhou's face was a little red, even a little unnatural, he hesitated for a while, and said, "This person, this person is still related to the chief of staff. If he is dead, it will be difficult for the chief of staff to ask..."

However, this statement is so far-fetched that even the little soldier frowned, so Duan Zhanzhou had no choice but to lower his face: "You don't understand what I said, just do it!"

The ignorant soldier hurriedly nodded and went to do things as ordered.

Duan Zhanzhou, who lay back on the sofa, let out a long sigh, slowly closed his eyes, and waited for the little soldier to come back and tell him the result.

Waiting turned out to be such an empty thing, and time lost its charm at this time, like a woman's foot-binding cloth, long and smelly.

He has never tasted such a difficult experience in his life. The tiredness of the day made his eyelids unknowingly heavy, and he saw the jungle in a daze, half dream and half awake.

That scene was like countless nights before, when he came home drunk, no matter what time it was, he would see Jungle squatting at the door, wearing thin single clothes, hugging his knees, waiting for him to come back, raising his head, and greeted him. His contempt, scolding and humiliation, his mouth was slightly open, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound.

Is his mood the same as his own now?

If he could talk, what would he want to say?

In the slack thinking, Duan Zhanzhou almost heard the words slip out from the closed mouth, but was awakened by a hasty knock on the door!

Shocked all over his body, cold sweat broke out on his body, he wiped his forehead, stood up hastily and went to open the door.The soldier outside the door obviously just ran back from the Juntong Mansion, so he couldn't breathe, and when he opened his mouth, it was like a bolt from the blue.

"The military commander said... You can keep the position of the governor for yourself, the trial has already been handed down, and the sentence will be shot!"
