Chapter 97: Smart Mr. Duan Qian
Duan Derong looked at the house in flames and clapped his hands with satisfaction, placing his hands on his hips as if he were admiring a world-class painting.
Duan Fei quickly handed over a clean towel.
As the personal bodyguard around Mr. Duan Qian, Duan Fei knew that Duan Derong had to be clean. He had just fired more than a dozen shots in person, and Duan Derong's body was already covered with gunpowder smoke and dust.
Normally, Duan Fei, who was sharp-sighted and quick-witted, would have brought a basin of water over for Duan Derong to wash his hands and face.
However, the current conditions are limited, and Duan Fei cannot get clean water for a while, but he has already prepared a clean towel. There is only a towel without water, so you can't wash your face, but you can still use it to wipe your hands.
"If you can't wash your face, you can't let the leader's hands be dirty. I have to say, I'm really a smart little guy." Duan Fei now even wanted to praise himself.
Duan Derong gave Duan Xi a meaningful look and did not pick up the towel.
Are you kidding? In the eyes of ordinary people, the smoke and dust on my body is dirty, but in my eyes, Duan Derong, what is this?
This is the smell of the battlefield.
As a general who leads troops in war, what is the best reward in a lifetime of military service?
It's gunpowder smoke and the enemy's blood.
Such a beautiful taste, others avoid it, but I, Duan Derong, enjoy it.
Duan Fei is good at everything, but he lacks sharpness at critical moments.
Of course, it's no wonder that he was there. If he could understand this, he wouldn't be just an errand boy in his life.
Duan Derong's grandfather was also a general. He once followed the "Xiang Commander" Liu Xingzhi on an expedition to Mohe, sweeping across the world and recovering hundreds of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
Duan Derong has always regarded his ancestors as role models, and dreamed that one day he would be able to gallop on the battlefield like his ancestors and be invincible.
"I was born at the wrong time!" Duan Derong would sigh sincerely every time he thought of his ancestors.
At this moment, Duan Derong seemed to have forgotten that the bandits of Huangfeng Village were right under his nose, and the people of Wan County were waiting for him to redeem them. As the Commander-in-Chief of Pingshun Battalion in Wan County, he is the only person who leads troops in Wan County. Although he cannot kill the enemy on the battlefield to serve the country, it is still a soldier's responsibility to ensure the safety of one side.
Duan Derong quietly admired his proud work. After his vanity was greatly satisfied, he waved his hand, like a general returning triumphantly from a victorious battle. He held his head high and said: "We're done, let's move." The division returns to camp.”
"Sir, why don't we go take a look?" Duan Fei reminded.
"What are you looking at?" Duan Derong frowned slightly.
Of course Duan Derong knew what Duan Fei was talking about.
This afternoon, the military advisor of Huangfeng Village came to Pingshun Camp to find Duan Derong with the handwriting of the County Prime Minister Wang Bozhen. They paid ten small yellow croakers as a reward and asked Duan Derong to lead troops into the city to kill someone.
Duan Derong did not ask who the person he wanted to kill was.
But it is certain that even the bandits in Huangfeng Village have to hire a helper. This person is either a big-time person or a very powerful person. In short, it will definitely not be simple.
In fact, the strength of the bandits in Huangfeng Village has long been far superior to that of the defenders in Wan County. However, they have been making trouble in Wan County for so many years, committing murder and arson. However, they have always adhered to a bottom line, that is, they did not do anything blatantly. into the city.
Whether the bandits enter the city or not, the nature is completely different.
Entering the city means that the city has been captured, and the Dayan court will characterize it as a rebellion, and the court will send a large army to suppress it.
Even though Huangfeng Village had defeated the official army before, in front of a real army, the thousands of bandits in Huangfeng Village were not even enough to fill the gap between their teeth.
The Taiping Army in the Xiling Province rebelled and swept across most of southern Xinjiang. Hundreds of thousands of troops were finally suppressed by the Dayan army.
If they don't enter the city, no matter how much trouble the bandits in Huangfeng Village make, they are also bandits and bandits. In the eyes of the big shots in Qicheng City, they will at most just not pay the national tax on yellow grain. In this troubled autumn, the court can turn a blind eye. , close one eye, as long as you can get through it.
So he doesn't need to know that much.
Some things are not good if you know too much.
Therefore, during the action, Duan Derong reported his name first. The purpose was to tell the other party that if you had any background, just tell him in advance to avoid difficulty in explaining it in the future. Who would have known that the person who came out to answer the question was a cell leader from Wan County Prison. Three people, one killer, and no one to kill, let alone Wang Dabao. Duan Derong knew the details of Wang Dabao, that is, he was just a Kuhaha without any background.
Of course, there is another situation where it is inconvenient for people from Huangfeng Village to come forward, such as killing someone in the city.
The bandits in Huangfeng Village cannot be dealt with, or it may be inconvenient for them to show up.
Even if you can't die, do you really think that my cannon is vegetarian?
When did I, Duan Derong, tell Wang Bozhen? If Wang Bozhen said a word, I, Duan Derong, would have to work hard for him. What a loser he is.
"See if that person is dead." Duan Fei's eyes showed excitement, and he didn't notice that Duan Derong's tone was different.
"After taking so many shells from me, do you think he can still survive?" Duan Derong smiled slightly and said, "How about you go and take a look?"
Questioning the achievements of leaders is a taboo in the workplace. Duan Fei realized it immediately.
"Such a big fire," Duan Derong said expressionlessly.
Duan Fei suddenly felt ashamed. I immediately realized that I shouldn't say such things at this time.
But Duan Fei quickly thought of a remedy. Duan Fei is indeed the person who knows Duan Derong best in the Pingshun camp.
lead
It is clear that the leader is not doing his job well.
"There's no scum left. There's no need to watch." Duan Xi said immediately.
"Hey! There seems to be something moving there?" A soldier pointed and said suddenly.
Duan Fei looked in the direction pointed by the soldier, and sure enough he saw two figures shaking in front of the background of fire.
Duan Derong also saw it: "Go and take a look."
Duan Fei looked embarrassed.
"Idiots, even if they are individuals, will be disabled even if they are not dead after being bombarded by me. I will not take credit for this good opportunity. I want to live."
Duan Fei thought so, so he waved to the three soldiers behind him and said, "Follow me."
The three soldiers followed, and Duan Fei's face suddenly turned ugly: "You three are just empty-handed. Are you going to have a meal?"
Only then did the three of them wake up, and quickly picked up their knives, and each also took a loaded crossbow.
Seeing that the three of them had taken weapons, Duan Fei led the three of them there.
Ten minutes later, Duan Derong watched Duan Fei run back happily, holding two black goats in his hand.
"These two sheep are really lucky and strong."
Take them back to camp. Duan Derong said.
Two black goats, because they can't be seen clearly, so
Duan Derong, the commander-in-chief of the Pingshun Battalion, led more than 80 officers and soldiers. When he returned to the camp, he was attacked by Xi Xingchen and Lian Yutang, and was beaten by Xi Xingchen and Lian Yutang until he lost his helmet and armor.
