Four Hundred and Ninety-Three, Hostages and Railways

It was September, and the night in Fort 178 was already a bit cold. At this time, the residents working outside began to return home one after another with generous subsidies. Because of the good salary for working outside the barrier, many residents returned home after working outside the fort for half a year. To rest at home, the whole winter is idle.

Of course, it is also because the winter in the northwest is extremely cold.

Now, there are still many residents still outside the factories, and by the end of October, the roads going out will be blocked by ice and snow.

At that time, only the soldiers at the frontier post of Fort 178 were left outside. They would guard there for a whole winter without any recreational activities, and they even had to stand guard.

Some people taught themselves handwork, harmonica, accordion, and many strange skills.

It's not that everyone is eager to learn, but because they are lonely. This is just their way of resolving loneliness in those border posts.

In the evening, six off-road vehicles came from the southwest and pierced Fort 178 like a sharp arrow.

When they were approaching 170 kilometers, they were suddenly stopped by a patrol force. The voice of the 178 Fortress patrol force came from the car intercom: "Entering the radio control area, please turn off your radio, pull over and accept inspection."

Luo Lan in the car said with a cheerful smile, "Then pull over and stop. The defense system of Fort 178 has always been relatively strict. This is something that even the Qing Sect can't compare to. After all, their mission is to defend against foreign enemies."

All six off-road vehicles turned off their on-board walkie-talkies, and then slowly parked on the road. Next to them, three combat teams got up from the wilderness and approached, fully armed.

Luo Lan was the first to get out of the car and raised his hands high, only to see that he was wearing sunglasses on his face, and he looked like a smuggling gangster: "Friend, I am Luo Lan from the Qing family, and I have already communicated with you, Commander Zhang, about this trip. !"

The soldiers in Fortress 178 calmly said: "Wait a moment, I need to report this matter to the staff."

While talking, the soldiers kept pointing their guns at Luo Lan, but Luo Lan didn't panic at all.

Zhou Qi curled his lips and said, "It's like guarding against thieves. Hurry up and finish the matter here. We have to go to the Central Plains as soon as possible. The situation over there has become turbulent."

"Don't worry, don't worry," Luo Lan said with a smile while looking at the black muzzle of the gun beside him, "Why don't you have the awareness of being a subordinate at all, the subordinates must understand that the matter of the Lord of the Qing family is the most urgent matter."

Zhou Qi helped his gold-rimmed glasses: "I do things with money,

Not a subordinate. "

"Haha, this is not something we should consider," Luo Lan laughed.

The soldiers of Fortress 178 looked at this fat man who didn't change his face and couldn't beat his heart, and felt a little admiration in his heart, he was a man.

Suddenly, the company commander of the company behind had contacted the staff department, confirmed that Luo Lan and the others had a legitimate identity for approaching Fort 178, and agreed to let them go.

However, before the release, all firearms need to be confiscated, and the vehicle of the patrol force needs to be transferred to go.

When the convoy arrived at Fort 178 at night, Zhang Jinglin did not come out to receive Luo Lan, but Xu Xianchu came to receive them.

Luo Lan looked at Xu Xianchu with a smile, and he put his arms around the other's shoulders and praised: "Brother Xu is really young and promising. He was wronged in my private army in the Qing Clan's Fortress. How about it? Come with us to the southwest , Absolutely delicious and spicy food, rich and rich can not be enjoyed endlessly.”

Xu Xianchu politely refused, "Stop dreaming."

Luo Lan didn't think it was disobedient, he still laughed and said: "This northwest is so cold in winter, and the fortress is not prosperous enough, so it's not as interesting as our south. When you go to the southwest, I'll find it for you. Ten concubines!"

Zhou Qi sighed beside him, "Fatty Luo, you really look like the villain in the story now."

Luo Lan was not happy anymore: "Although I kill people and set fires, I am a good person."

"Bah," Zhou Qi and Xu Xianchu spurned at the same time.

"Okay, let's not talk about other things, let's talk about business," Luo Lan said to Xu Xianchu: "Hurry up and find a place to exchange documents, so we can leave with the documents."

Xu Xianchu led Luo Lan and the others towards a remote and quiet street, and Xu Xianchu said, "Commander Zhang is responsible for today's matter to me alone, so you don't have to worry about leaking the secret, and now you don't dare to compare yourself to others in Fort 178. The number of spies from other forces must be the least in the world."

"Okay, stop bragging, I know what you guys are capable of," Luo Lan said with a cheerful smile.

At this time Xu Xianchu asked: "Where is the hostage you brought? Is it the man with glasses next to you?"

Zhou Qi was unhappy: "I have a first name and a last name. What do you mean by a man wearing glasses?"

At this moment, Luo Lan waved to a soldier behind him, and Xu Xianchu was taken aback for a moment: "He is the hostage that the Qing family gave me in Fort 178? Don't send an insignificant person over here."

The soldier took off the hat on his head, and there was a black hair cascading down his back like a waterfall.

Luo Lan said with a smile: "This is the girl my Lord Qing likes, is that enough?"

Xu Xianchu frowned and looked behind him, only to see a middle-aged soldier walking out: "Enough."

Luo Lan was overjoyed: "You are Wang Fengyuan, you have admired your name for a long time!"

Xu Xianchu stopped talking, since Wang Fengyuan said enough, it must be enough.

Wang Fengyuan didn't answer: "You sent her here, aren't you afraid that we will counteract the Qing family in the future?"

"Don't worry, I, the Qing family, don't have the idea of ​​unifying the world. I hope that you and I will never have swords!"

After finishing speaking, Luo Lan turned around and left. Zhou Qi chased after him and asked curiously, "Let's leave now? Why didn't I know that Qing Zhen liked such a girl?"

Luo Lan said to herself: "This girl is originally an opera girl from the 111 barrier, she is a 'corner'. At the beginning, the presidium wanted to find out Qing Zhen's weakness, only to find out that Qing Zhen never listened to operas in the same theater. Whichever girl you listen to is just random."

"But what the presidium didn't do wrong is that they didn't know which one Qing Zhen liked, so they sealed off all the theaters, arrested all the girls, and wiped them all out. Only then did Qing Zhen realize that it was useless even if he changed theaters every day. , in fact, when he steps onto this stage, his opponents will be fiercer than he imagined, and the opponents he will face in the future will definitely be more fierce than before."

Zhou Qi sighed, "So Qing Zhen sent her here as a hostage? I don't even understand that."

"Hey, this Jing Lin is one of the few honest men in the world, and it's the safest to be sent here as a hostage," Luo Lan said with a grin, "Our Qing family will be in danger soon, Qing Zhen can't be distracted to protect her anymore." gone."

"But Fort 178 didn't send us hostages, why should we give them hostages?" Zhou Qi asked doubtfully.

Luo Lan said loudly, "Of course it's for the railway."

Previously, the Qing family wanted to connect to the railway and open the road to the Central Plains with Fort 178, but Zhang Jinglin refused.

After two long months of negotiations, the two sides finally reached a consensus on this point. The Qing family paid a huge price, but Qing Zhen thought it was worth the money, and offered to send a hostage.

But in fact, Luo Lan understands that this is a hostage, but it is actually placed in Fort 178, and let Fort 178 protect this girl. As long as the Qing family does not declare war on Fort 178, Fort 178 will be the safest shelter for this girl. Place.

Zhou Qi slammed his mouth: "This girl is not ordinary, she is still calm after being sent as a hostage."

"After all, she is the girl my brother likes, so she must be unusual."

Ahem, taking advantage of your last day when you can't spray me, two more...
