The group of people walked up to Liao Mingyu.

Yu Xiaoqing stared at Liao Mingyu without blinking and said nothing. There was not much happiness or anger on her expressionless face.

Liao Mingyu felt calm. He raised his head slightly and looked at Yu Xiaoqing's tense face with a smile.

That annoying smile again!

Seeing Liao Mingyu's contented smiling face, Yu Xiaoqing felt very angry.

"Congratulations, Commander Liao, you and these soldiers really surprised me."

It was Yu Xiaoqing who broke the calm first and said something lukewarm to Liao Mingyu.

"Is there anything to congratulate? I just did what a Chinese soldier should do. Commander Yu, on the other hand, surprised me too."

Liao Mingyu shook his head with a chuckle and said with regret.

"how do I say this?"

"The Japanese gathered a heavy army to attack Nantianmen, trying to cross the Nu River from top to bottom. But your troops, as a Chinese armed force, did nothing?"

Liao Mingyu's eyes gradually turned cold and he asked unceremoniously.

"Commander Liao, do you blame me for not supporting the Nantianmen battle?" Yu Xiaoqing asked with a frown.

"You have a small regiment of 2,000 people and an artillery battalion with more than 10 mountain cannons. Why did you become a spectator in the battle at Nantianmen last night?"

Liao Mingyu stared at Yu Xiaoqing with his sharp eyes. The cold voice questioned him like a sharp sword.

"The order given to me by Shangfeng is to defend against the Japanese attack. There must be no mistakes in defending the Nu River. If the Japanese army dares to forcefully cross the Nu River, our regiment will never retreat even if there is only one soldier left!"

Yu Xiaoqing did not hesitate to push all the reasons to Shangfeng, and continued to explain without blushing:

"But I haven't received any orders to cross the river to attack. I'm sorry that I can't defend the enemy with you."

Liao Mingyu couldn't stand it anymore, and he roared loudly: "Defend the Japanese? As far as I know, the Japanese are on the other side of the river, and our national border is at Nantianmen, not the Nujiang River!"

Yu Xiaoqing's words really made him a little disappointed. After all, he was born in a noble family and had too many old warlord habits. He just wanted to preserve his strength and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. He said it so grandly.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had such a passion to serve the country and was considered a soldier with integrity, Liao Mingyu really wouldn't want to talk to him.

"Think about why you joined the army. How many kiddos have you killed so far? What are you doing here in Zenda, maintaining public order? Where were you when I took them on an expedition?"

"The beautiful words are loud and clear. If I hadn't set up defenses at Nantianmen yesterday, your idiot spy camp would have been wiped out by the Japanese who rushed across the river. The last line of defense in Southwest China would have been breached by the Japanese. At that point you Dare you say that you are not a sinner of China?"

"When we were beating up the Japanese at Nantianmen, you were hiding on the other side and didn't dare to fart. Do you still have a reason to tell me that you are following orders? Are you worthy of wearing this military uniform!?"

Yu Xiaoqing gritted her teeth and her face turned red instantly. Faced with the torture of his soul, he had no words to refute, because he knew that Liao Mingyu was telling the truth.

Last night, he rushed to the Nu River in a hurry and saw that the commander of the secret service battalion, apart from blowing up the bridge, had no defense on the east bank. Yu Xiaoqing was so angry that he was so slack on his military duties that he killed him on the spot.

But what's the use? Yu Xiaoqing knew very well that if Liao Mingyu hadn't blocked the Nantianmen at that time, his spy battalion would not be able to stop the Japanese attack. By that time, he would really be dead.

He also wanted to go forward and kill the enemy regardless, but the suppression and restrictions from Shangfeng and his family made him helpless. Slowly he chose to accept and compromise,

Maybe he didn't realize it himself, but every time he was in a dilemma, he used these so-called helplessness as an excuse to escape again and again.

"Commander! Tell him our record at Nantianmen!"

"Yes, regimental seat. Our Sichuan regiment fought desperately for 10 hours at Nantianmen last night and completely wiped out two Japanese infantry brigades and an artillery squadron."

"Killed the deputy commander of the Lieutenant Colonel Tachibana Kiyo, killed two Lieutenant Colonels, and countless lieutenants. A large number of weapons and equipment were seized, and various Japanese officer tokens can be provided to prove the truth. Report completed!"

Meng Fanlai puffed up his chest and said loudly and proudly. These guys are looking down on people. Didn't they look down on our Sichuan Army in the past? Now you know how awesome grandpas are.

Yu Xiaoqing and everyone were choked to the point of losing their temper, and their eyes widened in disbelief. This wave of information was so overwhelming that it was hard to digest for a while.

"This must be Commander Liao. Well, when I saw him today, he is truly a talented person. He is unparalleled in the country!"

With a smile on his face, Tang Ji looked at the increasingly awkward atmosphere and hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. Regardless of whether he liked it or not, he would first give him a compliment before talking about it.

"Huh? Are you Deputy Commander Tang?"

Liao Mingyu asked pretending not to know. Looking at the fat old man in military uniform in front of him, he probably guessed Tang Ji's identity.

"Oh, I didn't expect Commander Liao to know about me, an old man. I'm really honored."

"What the hell, you are always going strong and strong, you are an evergreen tree in the military and political circles. I have heard about it for a long time, and I am very lucky to see you today."

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Liao Mingyu's expression also changed, and he was flattering him. To deal with such a person, you have to make him unable to figure out your details.

"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. Nowadays, the world is dominated by young people. Commander Liao killed the Japanese invaders at Nantianmen with great enthusiasm. He is really a role model for our generation. He is indeed to be feared by the next generation, and the next generation will be feared."

"Hey, you're welcome..."

Everyone was stunned when they saw Liao Mingyu and Tang Ji complimenting each other. Those who didn't know better thought they were uncle and nephew, and Yu Xiaoqing was the outsider.

While Tang Ji was having a good fight with Liao Mingyu, he was also shocked in his heart. He was furious just now, but in the blink of an eye he was smiling. He was a little ashamed of his ability to control the situation freely. It seemed that this young man was not easy to deal with.

"That's it for today. My men have worked hard all night. It's time to go back and take a rest. Say goodbye."

After chatting for a while, Liao Mingyu became a little impatient and was not happy to play Tai Chi with Tang Ji again. Just make an excuse and run away.

When passing by Yu Xiaoqing, Liao Mingyu said leisurely: "Yu Xiaoqing, please remember your identity. A soldier is a sharp sword to protect the family and the country, not the private property of a certain family."

"...I don't need you to preach, just mind yourself!"

Yu Xiaoqing, who was a little embarrassed just now because of the guilt in her heart, turned dark again when she heard these words.

Although she knew what he said was reasonable, Yu Xiaoqing felt very aggrieved, perhaps due to her dislike of this person and her fragile self-esteem. Time and time again, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Is this person specially sent by God to deal with his nemesis?

Looking at the leader who was younger than himself, Yu Xiaoqing's unconvinced mood was aroused.

How can I, Yu Xiaoqing, be worse than you? snort! Just wait and see.

Walking on the way back to Chanda, Liao Mingyu kept thinking in his mind. He has already said what he should say, and if this stubborn guy can't listen, there's nothing he can do about it.

Sometimes Liao Mingyu really doesn't understand what kind of person Yu Xiaoqing is.

He was born as a general, a passionate and ideal soldier, and the embodiment of extreme idealism. Because of his background, he has not been exposed to the darkness and pain at the bottom of society, so his heart is always full of pure enthusiasm for serving the country, and he longs for bloody battlefields, killing enemies to serve the country, and shrouding his body with horse leather.

Because he has never really been in contact with death, he is not afraid of death at all, and he is indifferent to life, including his own life, the lives of others, and the lives of his enemies.

He didn't understand why the Chinese army was defeated again and again, and he didn't understand basic human nature, so he blamed everything on the soldiers' fear of death, so he hated all people who were afraid of death. In general, he is a morally obsessive and brainless angry young man. It can be said that if it were not for the relationship between Yu's father and Tang Ji's assistant, it would be impossible for someone like him to thrive in the Kuomintang army.

In fact, Yu Xiaoqing is not a hypocritical person. His passionate performance is a true expression from his heart. But when faced with the family and officialdom system, he became very weak again.

Alas, I hope you will change your mind in the future. Liao Mingyu thought in his heart...
