Chapter 205 The Story of Motianzhai (23)

After listening to Ge Dahai's explanation, Duan Houcai said: "In this way, Motianzhai is now a member of the National Army. However, I wonder if Brother Ge's second brother came here this time and had any instructions on our Qilizhai?"

Seeing Duan Houcai ask directly, Ge Dahai looked at Xu Hu again, then clasped his fists to Yun Hongpan and Duan Houcai again and said, "Big Master, Brother Duan, this is the case. Because we repelled the Japanese attack a few days ago, but nearly half of the brothers were injured and killed. Therefore, our captain and chief of staff ordered our brothers to come and ask for joint defense to Guizhai. I wonder if the boss and the brothers have any considerations in this regard?"

"Combined defense?"

"Half of your casualties?"

Yun Hongpan repeated the joint method, but Duan Houcai was very concerned about the casualties in Motianzhai.

Ge Dahai looked a little sad, nodded to Duan Houcai, and said more: "Yes, hundreds of brothers were injured and killed! Now, if the Japanese come to encircle and suppress the enemy, we no longer have the ability to defend."

Duan Houcai stood up, clasped his fists to Ge Dahai and Xu Hu, and said, "Brother Ge, Chief Xu, the incident of your army annihilation of nearly a brigade of the Japanese devils has spread all over a hundred miles. I, Duan, have a great admiration for your army to bravely kill the enemy."

"Brother Duan is over!" Xu Hu stood up and clasped his fists and said.

Duan Houcai nodded to Xu Hu and continued, "But, Duan was a little puzzled by the joint defense proposed by Ge Er Ge just now. Could it be that your subordinates have also recruited us Qililing?"

As soon as Duan Houcai finished speaking, the people in Qili Village were immediately exploded. He had a bad temper and stood up directly, pointed at Ge Dahai and Xu Hu and cursed. The reactions of everyone were within the expectations of Ge Dahai and Xu Hu, so they seemed very calm.

"Shut up to me!" Yun Hongpan suddenly stood up and shouted loudly. The Fire Phoenix showed its might. The bandits in Qili Village immediately shut up and all retreated cautiously.

"Brother Ge, is it right that Brother Duan guessed just now? Your subordinate just wanted to recruit our Qili Village?" Yun Hongpan asked Ge Dahai.

At this time, it was Xu Hu who came on stage. After he stood up, he walked to Yun Hongpan, saluted him with a military salute, and said, "Our leader, our captain and chief of staff do mean to change your village..." Xu Hu's words immediately caused a commotion among the bandits again, but after seeing Yun Hongpan's gloomy face, they closed their mouths one by one.

Xu Hu looked at everyone and continued to say to Yun Hongpan, saying, "We are just adapting your troops, not what Brother Duan said about recruitment. Nowadays, Japanese pirates are rampant and cruelly ravage our land and nation. As long as the Chinese armed forces fight the Japanese, there is no difference between officials and bandits. Chairman Jiang once said that once the war starts, the land is not divided into north and south, and people are not divided into men, women, young and old, and they all have the responsibility to defend their territory and fight against the war. Therefore, for the village, it is only adaptation, and there is no need to recruit or not! I think with the heroic spirit of the boss and the heroes of Qilizhai, we will definitely not sit by and watch the Japanese run rampant at the foot of the mountain and harm our Chinese fellow villagers, right?"

Xu Hu's generous speech, although Yun Hongpan and others could not hear anything wrong. However, Duan Houcai did not think that what Xu Hu said was right. He knew the purpose of Xu Hu and others. To put it bluntly, he still wanted to acquire their Qili Village.

"Captain Xu, you are right. Anti-Japanese and Japanese attacks are indeed what every Chinese should do, but for the adaptation and joint defense mentioned by your troops, I think there is no need for this? You and I are not very far apart, just echo and support each other, but the adaptation is a bit complicated!" Duan Houcai said to Xu Hu.

Unexpectedly, Duan Houcai directly refused on behalf of Yun Hongpan. Xu Hu and Ge Dahai both looked at Yun Hongpan, hoping to get her approval. Yun Hongpan glanced at Duan Houcai and nodded without a trace. Yun Hongpan turned his face and said to Xu Hu and Ge Dahai: "I think Brother Duan is right. Our two families only need to support each other. As for the adaptation proposed by your department, I don't think it's necessary!"

Ge Dahai and Xu Hu returned in vain, which was within the expectations of Peng Dezhu and Xiao Houhai. They did not think that they could simply convince the Fire Phoenix.

When Peng Dezhu learned that there was a person around Fire Phoenix that could play a certain role, he wondered if he could open a gap from this person. He asked Ge Dahe, who was telling the story of his journey to Qililing, and said, "Captain Ge, you just said that there is someone around Fire Phoenix who has an influence on him. What is this person's name?"

When Ge Dahe heard this, he looked at Peng Dezhu and said, "Duan Houcai."

"What?" Hearing Duan Houcai's name, Peng Dezhu suddenly stood up excitedly, stared at Ge Dahai in surprise.

Everyone was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Peng Dezhu reacted so much. While feeling strange, Ge Dahai repeated it and said, "Duan Houcai!"

"Duan Houcai! Duan Houcai!" Peng Dezhu took a few steps back and forth quickly, repeating the name in his mouth. Then, he suddenly stopped and asked Ge Dahai, saying, "What does he look like? Are he a local?"

Ge Dahai thought about it, recalling Duan Houcai's appearance, and described to Peng Dezhu: "This man is not low and very handsome, but he looks very strong. I can tell that he is also a trainee with big eyes and high nose. From his tone, he doesn't seem to be from our local area, he should be from Shaanxi!"

"That should be it!" Peng Dezhu said to himself after hearing Ge Dahai's description.

Xiao Houhai had been confused for a long time, and he asked in confusion: "Brother Peng, do you know Duan Houcai? Do you have any holiday with you?"

Peng Dezhu shook his head and said, "There is no holiday. Captain Xiao, do you remember Duan Houzhong Duan Tuanzuo that I told you before? I suspect that Duan Houcai should be my Duan Tuanzuo's brother!"

"Duan Houzhong, Duan Houcai!" Xiao Houhai repeated the two names. He immediately understood them, but he couldn't believe it. Could it be that there was such a coincidence in the world? Duan Houcai happened to be the brother of Duan Houzhong, the former leader of Peng Dezhu.

After I affirmed Duan Houcai, who was Duan Houzhong's brother, Peng Dezhu decided to go to Qililing in person to meet Duan Houcai so as to determine whether he was Duan Houzhong's brother.

Just when Peng Dezhu, Xiao Houhai and others tried their best to recruit Qililing, Zhu Xiaocong, the second battalion commander of the Independent Detachment, and Liu Yuan, the third battalion commander, went out of the Sky Village together and went to Yuangu Town.

The reason why the two battalion commanders went down the mountain together was that Liu Yuan, the commander of the third battalion, proposed to invite the second battalion commander Zhu Xiaocong to the Desheng Restaurant in the Shanxiayuangu Town for a good meal.

After disguising himself, Zhu Xiaocong and Liu Yuan, although Yuangu Town was much more vigilant than before due to the defeat of the Matsuda Brigade, the two of them entered Yuangu Town very smoothly.

After entering the town, Liu Yuan did not take Zhu Xiaocong to Desheng Restaurant, but turned into a small alley. Zhu Xiaocong was a little puzzled, so he grabbed Liu Yuan and asked, "Brother Liu Yuan, where are we going? Aren't we going to Desheng Restaurant?"

"Brother Zhu, don't worry, can I harm you? I will take you to a place where someone has ordered a table of good wine and dishes from Desheng Restaurant, which is much cleaner than at Desheng Restaurant!" Liu Yuan said to Zhu Xiaocong with a smile. After saying that, regardless of Zhu Xiaocong's doubts, he pulled him up and walked into the alley.

After walking to the gate of a small courtyard, Liu Yuan finally stopped, stepped forward and slapped the gate of the courtyard, shouting loudly: "Open the door! Open the door! Xiao Yanling, open the door for me!"

Zhu Xiaocong was puzzled by Liu Yuan's actions, but he didn't look too far. At this time, he heard the voice of a charming woman in the yard: "Come on! Stop shooting, you will be photographed by the door again!"

Then, with a slight sound of "creaking!", the gate of the courtyard was opened. A pretty girl from 2018 appeared in the door. After Zhu Xiaocong saw her, her eyes would not be able to be pulled out immediately. If Liu Yuan hadn't come forward and pulled him, he would have been staring at this beauty so straightforwardly.

After ignorantly following Liu Yuan and the beauty into the yard, Zhu Xiaocong's eyes never left the beauty. After entering the room, Zhu Xiaocong asked about the fragrance and found that the table in the room was filled with banquets, with three pairs of bowls and chopsticks on it. A young girl of fifteen or sixteen was standing by the table holding a wine pot.

"Brother Zhu, come! Please sit down!" Liu Yuan seemed to be in his own house and asked Zhu Xiaocong to sit down.

Xiao Yanling also walked up to Zhu Xiaocong and said to him, "Brother, please sit down!"

Zhu Xiaocong was a little confused and agreed: "Yeah! OK! Sitting, please sit down too!"

As he said that, Zhu Xiaocong and Liu Yuan sat down on both sides. Xiaoyanling sat down next to Zhu Xiaocong in her lower head. After sitting down, Xiaoyanling said to the little girl standing behind her: "Chunmei, pour wine!"

The little girl filled the three of them with wine and stepped aside. Liu Yuan raised his glass and said to Zhu Xiaocong: "Brother Zhu, how is this place? It's not much cleaner than in Desheng Restaurant. Let's have a good drink! Come on! Brother Zhu, it's done!" As he said, he raised his glass and drank the wine in the glass.

Zhu Xiaocong held up the wine glass, but his eyes were still on Xiao Yanling. After hearing Liu Yuan's words, he did not look away and said, "It's indeed a good place. If the place is good, the people will be better!" While drinking, the light of his eyes still did not leave Xiao Yanling's face.

Zhu Xiaocong looked like a look, and Liu Yuan and Xiao Yanling saw it, but they all thought it was not discovered. However, Liu Yuan was happy in his heart, thinking that it seemed that his plan was right, and Zhu Xiaocong was not a real gentleman.
