Age of Conquest Reborn

Mei Ting and Liu Xinlan, who traveled thousands of miles from Guangzhou and Dingbian to Peking to meet Tang Qiuli, only stayed for one night in the ancient capital of Peiping, where spring was getting thicker. Early in the morning on June 16, the eastern skyline

, the dawn has just appeared

, the ancient capital of Peiping was still immersed in silence. A long convoy of armored command vehicles and military jeeps quietly left the ancient capital and entered the Bashang Grassland, then turned northeast and approached the Horqin Sandy Land with long sand dunes.

The Horqin Sandy Land in June is already full of spring scenery. Although the light green cannot cover the long yellow sand, looking from a distance, green is coming. In more than a month, the green will be

The land will be covered, and the roar of the car engine will startle a few larks from time to time. Their crisp chirps will rise up to the white clouds and float in the blue sky, bringing a burst of life to the slightly desolate land.

Tang Qiuli personally drove an armored command vehicle. There were only four of them, Mei Ting, Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan, in the vehicle. As for Shanhu, who had always stayed with him, he had wisely boarded another armored command vehicle. He didn't do this.

Where's the light bulb!

It was the first time for the three women to come here. They were curious about everything. They lay on the car window and looked at everything unfamiliar with interest. Even a few flying birds shot up into the blue sky like arrows.

Their beautiful eyes widened and they screamed coquettishly, especially Mei Ting, whose fair face was rosy. Last night, after a night of lingering, Mei Ting, who had been nourished by her husband, became more and more beautiful and charming.

Tang Qiuli was very satisfied with the current atmosphere. The family gathered together and walked on the inaccessible Horqin sandy land. Without the heaviness of heading to the front line, it felt like a spring outing. The rising sun filled the vast land and spread a flower.

The shadow of a white cloud cast mottled shadows on the light green sand. The motorcade circled clusters of low sand dunes, raising waves of sand and dust, just like a fleet of ships galloping in the sea of ​​sand.

It was Tang Qiuli's decision to choose this remote route in order to avoid the villages and towns along the way. With so many convoys, it was impossible not to attract attention. Of course, this was also the commander of the security brigade, Major General Huang Shanhu.

The route approved by Colonel Shen Jun, Director of the Investigation Division, was also based on safety considerations.

Before leaving Peiping, out of concern for the safety of the division commander, Shen Jun insisted on transferring a battalion of troops from the Peking Security Headquarters to escort the division commander along the way. However, Tang Qiuli firmly refused. There was only one reason: Peking.

It is the strategic rear area of ​​this battle. Once the battle is launched, Peiping will enter a state of military control. The garrison headquarters does not have many troops to begin with. How can the huge Peiping be accomplished without troops? What's more, a convoy of several hundred people is too big a target.

.

But Shen Jun insisted that his reasons were very good. According to the joint decision of the division commanders, in addition to the security brigade, the investigation office was also responsible for the safety of the division commander. The final compromise plan was to bypass the densely populated villages and towns along the way and walk

This route leads to Kailu and Tongliao along the Horqin Sandy Land.

Therefore, the security forces around Tang Qiuli were two special guard detachments, more than 180 people. However, the combat power of these more than 100 people was quite terrifying. Even if they faced a group, they could survive with their whole bodies.

Retreating and inflicting a heavy blow to the opponent, Tang Qiuli was quite relieved about this. Besides, there was no danger at all on this route. Many troops had been mobilized in the past few days. Who would have known that commanding hundreds of

The top boss of the independent division of the Wanjun Army is in this convoy?

The evening glow filled the western sky again. The convoy that had been marching all day camped on a flat land covered with fine yellow sand but green grass. The special guards were busy setting up tents. Mei Ting, Mei Xue

Although she and Liu Xinlan had been riding for a day, they were not tired at all. The three of them were looking for unknown wild flowers on the grass, bursts of sweet laughter echoing in the dusk air.

Tang Qiuli walked up a low sand dune and looked towards the western sky. The red fire clouds made his eyes squint. The endless sandy land and rolling low sand dunes, in the dusk twilight,

It became more and more far-reaching and unpredictable. A few late returning birds were hovering in the low altitude in the distance, and then disappeared into the sand dunes. It was so quiet. It seemed that there was something unknown in this quietness, and it would appear at any time.

Appears normal.

I don't know why, starting from this afternoon, Tang Qiuli felt an indescribable feeling of uneasiness in his heart, which lingered in his heart from time to time. As for why he felt this way, he couldn't figure it out, but he felt like this.

Like floating clouds on the horizon, misty and unreal, but real. Tang Qiuli did not doubt his intuition, but he could not find the source of his uneasiness. The happy laughter of his wives came from afar, and he frowned slightly.

one time.

There were footsteps behind him. It was too familiar. It was Shan Hu. He walked to him without saying a word. Shan Hu's tall body stood in front of him. Tang Qiuli's heart suddenly calmed down, "Hu Zi, you

Do you feel something is wrong there?" He asked abruptly.

Shan Hu's gaze shuddered in the dim dusk, "Xiao Qiu, I can confirm that starting from this afternoon, we have been targeted!" He said in a calm tone.

"What?" Tang Qiuli turned around suddenly, "Huzi, do you feel the same way? Tell me what you think!"

Shan Hu grinned, showing his white teeth, "Xiao Qiu, I don't have any opinion, and I can't tell you anything specific. It's just my feeling. Aren't you the same?"

Tang Qiuli also smiled and said: "Since we both feel this way, we can be sure that there is an unknown armed force staring at us. Although we don't know where it came from, but

, it has nothing to do with the Japanese!”

There was a contemptuous smile on Shan Hu's lips, and he said: "Xiao Qiu, you accompany Sister Ting and the others, and you can play as you should. We finally got together. Don't let a few flies ruin the atmosphere.

, I’ll make some arrangements! - I can still have a good sleep in the middle of the night!”

"Hahaha!" Tang Qiuli laughed, "With the 'Crazy Tiger' who is the most brave and brave independent division, what should I worry about? - Why should I worry!"

The laughter floated far away in the wind. When Mei Ting and the others heard it, they all raised their heads and looked over. Mei Xue curled her lips and said, "Did that guy have a good time chatting with Captain Huang? He is really stupid. He doesn't know how to come down and accompany us, especially

It’s Xinlan, are you right?”

Liu Xinlan pursed her lips and smiled, and replied: "Sister Xue, you want Qiu Li to accompany you, so you pulled me out as an excuse. You have been by Qiu Li's side for several years, and you are still so tired of him!"

"You little girl!" Mei Xue's pretty face turned red as she rushed towards her. The two women fought together, their laughter like silver bells echoing in the dim twilight. Only Mei Ting's eyes flashed thoughtfully.

one time.

As night fell on the earth, there was no shortage of dry firewood on the grass, and piles of bonfires were lit. The special guards did not know what method they used, but they actually caught three yellow sheep, skinned them, washed them, and cut them into tender pieces of meat.

This made Tang Qiuli interested in having a picnic. The bonfire was blazing, and the flames were licking the yellow mutton. The grease dripped on the bonfire, making a soft "puff" sound, and the thick fragrance floated in the air.

.

At this time, Tang Qiuli transformed into a barbecue chef. From time to time, he sprinkled various condiments on the meat, and the aroma became stronger and stronger. Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan were like two children, cooking in the Tang Dynasty.

The people around Qiu Li were chattering non-stop, their little faces flushed with excitement. The two of them still didn't know that their man actually had such a skill, and they would never hesitate to praise him when they were around him.

Mei Ting's behavior was much more normal. She was the first to follow Tang Qiuli, and she was already used to her husband's endless tricks. However, in the night, in the desolate wilderness, beside the burning bonfire, Mei Ting was reminded of

My memory should be that when I was in the Taihang Mountains, the spring was cold and the Japanese army was under siege. The Taihang Mountains were filled with smoke. I and this man were leaning on each other and sitting by the campfire.

The beautiful memories of that time made Mei Ting's face light up. She looked at Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan, who were crowded around her husband like children, and couldn't help but smile knowingly, "This is probably the first time for these two girls to have a barbecue outdoors."

Bar?"

When the yellow lamb was roasted, Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan moved their index fingers and ate without caring about the image. They were full of praises while eating. Seeing that Mei Ting didn't do anything, Tang Qiuli took a bunch of roasted yellow lamb and went to Mei Ting.

He leaned closer and asked softly: "Sister Ting, why don't you eat? By the way, you don't know how many times you have tasted my cooking, and you have long been used to it. How about those two girls, who are like hungry wolves?

of!"

Mei Ting smiled brightly, took the meat skewers, and said with emotion: "The bonfire, the night, the evening breeze, the barbecued game, the autumn leaves. Seeing all of this, the scene a few years ago seems like yesterday. But think about it carefully.

, several years have passed, and I have grown old!" For some reason, there was a touch of sadness in Mei Ting's tone.

Tang Qiuli smiled slyly, put his arms around Mei Ting's round shoulders, and said in a low voice: "Is Sister Ting old? Why don't I feel it? Last night, she looked like she ate me. How can I say that I am old?

!”

Mei Ting's pretty face turned red and she said angrily: "I'm not serious, and I'm not afraid of letting Xiaoxue and Xinlan hear it!"

Tang Qiuli saw Mei Ting's shy look and wanted to make fun of her, but Mei Ting suddenly said: "Qiu Li, is something going to happen tonight? We are being targeted by unknown armed forces."

Tang Qiuli looked at Mei Ting in surprise, "Sister Ting, why do you say that?" he asked in surprise.

Mei Ting reached out and took off a straw stick from his military uniform, and said calmly: "Feeling, indescribable feeling, don't forget what I do, and when you laughed just now, in the laughter,

With murderous intent, Xiaoxue and Xinlan couldn't hear it, but I did!"

Tang Qiuli was silent for a moment. Mei Ting was an agent from the Military Command Bureau, and she was also a master among agents. Her feeling was not wrong. Shan Hu and herself both felt the same way. Now, Mei Ting also said the same,

That's for sure.
