The Republic of Heroes

There was a bearded man squatting in the corner, and he was still wearing a winter coat. The weather in June was already very hot. Although it was cold and humid in the dungeon, it was not enough to wear winter clothes to keep warm. The only explanation was that he lived in the dungeon since winter. here.

But what surprised Wu Xiaoliang was not that this person wore a padded jacket in summer, but that he knew this person. This person was Mordvinov, the tutor of the Russian girl Anna.

As he got closer, he smelled an unpleasant body odor, which came from Zi Mordvinov.He also saw that the outer cloth of the left lapel of his cotton-padded jacket had been frayed into wisps, and the tattered batting was almost gone, while the right lapel on the other side was relatively intact.What is strange is that the buttons on the placket are fastened very neatly, without a single button falling off.For a prisoner, decency is useless, and he still tries to maintain his decency, which shows that he has received a good education before, so that he is still unwilling to give up basic etiquette habits in the extreme environment of captivity.

"Big Beard, do you still recognize me?" Wu Xiaoliang would occasionally say a few words to Mordvinov when he was at Sifangding, and he would directly call him Big Beard because his name was awkward.

The bearded man had been imprisoned for too long, and his cognitive ability began to weaken temporarily. After looking at Wu Xiaoliang for a full minute, he said loudly in surprise: "Oh, my God, is it you, Wu? What do you do? He was also arrested by these devils." Speaking of this, his expression was full of regret, as if he was sad that Wu Xiaoliang would face the same experience as himself.

Wu Xiaoliang suddenly thought of Anna. If Anna also fell into the hands of these bandits, it would probably be a disaster.

"Where's Anna? Is she all right?"

"God bless, very lucky, the lovely little princess was not with this bad old man like me, she and Li successfully escaped from Governor Zhang's siege, but I was injured, so I stayed until I was caught by these devils ” Talking about the excitement of the bandit Mordvinov who captured him, it seems that he has suffered a lot here.

Just as he was about to ask, the door of the dungeon was opened, and the third master was at the door, beckoning Wu Xiaoliang to go out.

"You kid is lucky, the boss agreed, and also extended the time for paying the ransom. You are limited to send the money before this time tomorrow. Go down the mountain and prepare the money."

Wu Xiaoliang was overjoyed when he heard it, and quickly thanked him, and then made another request.

"Third Master, I don't know how much is the ransom for this bearded man?"

The third master smiled and pointed at Mordvinov.

"Just him? If you want to count as an extra, I'll give it to you!"

This is the old man he caught by the way when he passed by Laolonggang last winter. He thought he could make a fortune, but he didn't expect this old guy to be a homeless man. Because foreigners have strange looks, they can make fun of him in their spare time. I have been raising it until now, otherwise it might collapse with a single shot.

Wu Xiaoliang can't really take him as an extra head, he hurriedly said: "This is an old acquaintance of mine, how about it, counting him two hundred oceans, he should pay some food money to the third family, but I have to take him first How about going?"

The third master immediately smiled, but refused straight away: "Brother, although we hit it off, the rule of giving money with one hand and others with the other hand can't be broken. Let's go, I'll take you down the mountain."

Wu Xiaoliang had no choice but to leave the prison and went down the mountain with the third family.

Coincidentally, two bandits came out from the backyard, both of them had box cannons pinned to their waists. One of them was a sick man. He saw Wu Xiaoliang's profile and felt familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen it before. The other pointed excitedly. In the direction where Wu Xiaoliang's back disappeared, he yelled incoherently: "Brother Dahai, it's him, it's him, it's him..."

Hearing him tossing about, Li Litou scolded impatiently: "What is him?"

"He was the one who killed Lao Jiu in the shack!"

"Who? Where?"

"Let's go, follow the third master."

Diarrhea dragged the little minion standing by the dungeon with his head.

"What does that bastard who went with the third master do?"

The little guy was terrified, and replied tremblingly:

"Yes, they are here to redeem tickets."

Li Litou suddenly had a sinister smile on his face, and punched his brother beside him: "Old Ba, Brother Hai will vent your anger on you!"

……

Wu Xiaoliang went down the mountain, bid farewell to the elated third family, and ran down the mountain non-stop, because Zhang Xueliang and Huaitong would be in more danger if they were delayed for one minute. It was dangerous, and he also saved the bearded man along the way.If I had known it would be so smooth, I might as well have carried the ticket with me.

When he passed the shack on the way, he made a special inspection. There was no flaw in what he had dealt with before, as if no murder had ever happened.But his heart skipped a beat, he had faintly felt that something was wrong since he went down the mountain, at this time his mood was clear for a while, he figured out the joint here, yes, it was because things were too smooth, too smooth would make people feel abnormal, abnormal immediately For a demon, there must be a conspiracy.

But what is the conspiracy?He thought for a while, and felt that he was scaring himself, so he simply ignored it and ran all the way back to the small town down the mountain.

Although this town is in the northeast, it has a very northwest style name, Yima Town.

Wu Xiaoliang found Chen Xiuyan in the only hotel in the town, the Yima Inn, very smoothly.Seeing that Wu Xiaoliang returned safely, his happy words changed a bit.

"Weizhong, is it over?"

"It's done, it's five thousand and two hundred in the ocean, quickly count out the full amount, and we will rescue people overnight."

Chen Xiuyan didn't count the money, but mysteriously grabbed Wu Xiaoliang and walked towards the backyard of the Yima Inn.Wu Xiaoliang wondered:

"What is Xiuwen doing?"

"You'll know when you come!"

After going out the back door and looking around, Wu Xiaoliang only felt dizzy. Isn't this his team?Although all of them were dressed in civilian clothes, they all stood up straight, with a chilling air rushing towards their faces. They rang their shell guns, flower machine guns, and even Mauser rifles. Everyone's weapons were tightly held in their hands. fled and discarded.

Pairs of eyes cast eager gazes, and Wu Xiaoliang suddenly felt that his eyes were foggy, and it took him a long time to say a word.

"Brothers suffer!"

It turned out that since Kuanchengzi was broken into pieces, most of the small teams, like Wu Xiaoliang and others, wanted to go to Yongji first, but because there were too many soldiers on the way, they turned to the south and came to Panshi, and finally there were ordinary people Unexpectedly, they all gathered in Yima Town by coincidence.When Chen Xiuyan arrived, more than fifty people had already gathered in this small inn.

A lieutenant immediately stepped out of the neat line and shouted: "Sun Keshu, the deputy commander of the guard company of the Suidong Army Command, reported that there are actually 150 guards in the 54th guard company, please speak to the brigade commander!

Wu Xiaoliang's body trembled involuntarily. At the most difficult moment, there were a group of passionate soldiers following him around. He couldn't help being excited, and pressed his hands down to signal everyone to be quiet.
