"Brother, it's definitely okay to help you with this, but I have to make sure I can go out." Lu Zheng said resentfully.

I don’t know if the method Zhao Zhiguo taught him will work.

"I believe you can get out alive."

"If I can get out alive, let me follow you?" Lu Zheng still didn't give up.

Zhao Zhiguo shook his head: "I'd better leave this matter to others."

Zhao Zhiguo will not bargain with Lu Zheng on this matter. Lu Zheng did not tell the truth, so Zhao Zhiguo still does not trust Lu Zheng until now. He will not trust his back to someone he does not trust.

"Don't stop ... you haven't taken care of me less these days, and follow you to enjoy blessings in prison. Even if I repay you." Lu Zheng said reluctantly.

"If you do well this time, I might consider arranging a place for you to go."

"Really? Brother, you can't lie to me!"

"Okay, go to sleep!"

After this ordeal, Zhao Zhiguo lost all sleepiness. He walked to the door of the cell and looked at the dark world outside. He felt a little scared. The two soldiers on guard had already fallen asleep against the wall.

Zhao Zhiguo stood at the door, feeling the biting cold outside. He did not expect that Master Zhang was really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. He originally thought that Qian Kangbo was a lecher, but he did not expect that this man really had some tricks.

It's a pity that Qian Kangbo's troubles were not put to good use. If Qian Kangbo focused on managing the army, his military rank would be at least a lieutenant general.

Zhao Zhiguo sat helplessly in the cell all night. It was not until someone came to bring breakfast that Yao Pengju was awakened from his sleep.

"Sir Zhao, these are the dumplings made in the prison cafeteria. Although there aren't many, they are still suitable for Chinese New Year."

The soldiers who came to deliver breakfast took away a lot of good things from Zhao Zhiguo last night.

"Thank you!"

When Yao Pengju saw the dumplings on the plate, he snatched them from Zhao Zhiguo's hands without saying a word and wolfed them down. He had never thought dumplings were so delicious.

Seeing a plate of dumplings being swept away by Yao Pengju, Zhao Zhiguo was a little stunned: "Are you full?"

"Battal Commander, I'm sorry, I'm really hungry."

"It's okay, I know you've worked hard these days."

Zhao Zhiguo didn't understand what Yao Pengju had done in the past few days.

"Battal Commander, when can you go out?" Yao Pengju asked, "The brothers don't know you have been arrested yet. Do you want me to go out and inform the brothers, let them come directly to Pingcheng, pick up the division headquarters, and then take you

Get rescued?"

"The matter has become serious. The superiors must investigate clearly before letting me out, but you can't stay here anymore," Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Batalion Commander, don't drive me away. I've had a hard time looking for you these days."

Zhao Zhiguo looked at Yao Pengju's face, which was thinner than before, and felt a little distressed. He must have suffered a lot.

"This is a prison. After you get out, find a place to wash yourself and change some clothes. Maybe I will need you again after I get out."

With Cao Jiyu helping with the operation, Zhao Zhiguo believed that he would definitely not die. After this year, his matter would be resolved soon.

"real?"

"Have I lied to you?" Zhao Zhiguo said.

"No, then I will wait outside the prison gate. I will come to see you every day, waiting for you to go out, battalion commander, and we will return to the station together."

Zhao Zhiguo was not in a hurry to ask Yao Pengju how he came to Pingcheng. They had plenty of time to follow them after they left.

Zhao Zhiguo only has one thing to do now, and that is to wait for the results with peace of mind.

Qian Kangbo soon received a call from the Jinyang area. He received Lu Ziming's order to release Zhao Zhiguo from prison tonight and asked him to take Japanese prisoners of war to standby in Pingcheng.

On the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, most people in Pingcheng were still immersed in the New Year atmosphere. Zhao Zhiguo said goodbye to Lu Zheng and walked out of the prison.

Yao Pengju hurriedly greeted him: "Batalion Commander, you have finally come out."

At this time, Yao Pengju had a completely new look. He was wearing new clothes and new shoes, and his hair that could be used as a bird's nest was also cut off.

"Yes, this is how you dress during the Chinese New Year." Zhao Zhiguo said to Yao Pengju with a smile.

While the two were chatting, an older man was struggling to pull a wooden cart along the street.

Seeing that the old man was a little weak, Zhao Zhiguo quickly ran up and gave the old man a push.

But when he glanced sideways, he discovered that the wooden cart was covered with a simple straw mat, and a pair of bare feet were exposed under the straw mat, swaying with the bumps of the wooden cart.

"Thank you, young man! I'm old and no longer useful." The old man sighed.

"Old man, what are you pulling?" Zhao Zhiguo frowned.

"Hey~" the old man sighed, "A few people die every winter, and I don't know what happened this year. A dozen of them are pulled out every day, and they either starve to death or freeze to death. The current situation in Pingcheng is getting worse and worse.

It looks more and more like hell. The officials above said that if the corpses were not taken outside the city, there would be a plague in the city."

"Are they all beggars?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"They are all poor homeless people. Hey, I wonder if my old man will end up like this if he is gone."

The old man pulled the wooden cart with all his strength and walked out of the city. Zhao Zhiguo silently watched his retreating figure, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

"battalion commander……"

The old man had already walked away. Yao Pengju shouted several times before Zhao Zhiguo reacted: "What's wrong?"

"Where do we go next?"

"Go to the division headquarters, I heard there are new orders!"

"Ah? Are you still going to the division headquarters? They have framed you like this, why do you still need to obey their orders?" Yao Pengju was puzzled.

"I have just been released. If I don't go now, wouldn't they have more reason to accuse me, Zhao Zhiguo, of disobedience? At this critical moment, the more they want to seize us, the less we can let them succeed."

"Batalion Commander, you are still awesome, I didn't expect so much."

In the division headquarters, Qian Kangbo prepared a table of delicious food for Zhao Zhiguo in the name of taking over the job.

"Brother Zhao, I am here to apologize for you. Please give me a favor."

The reason why Qian Kangbo was so low-key today was because he was worried that Zhao Zhiguo had seen through his little thoughts last night.

"Isn't there poison in this food and wine?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"No way, if I really want to poison you, I will definitely poison you in the prison cell and poison you to death here. Everyone will know that I did it." Qian Kangbo is a smart man.

"I won't eat the food. I came to the division headquarters for two things. First, my case has been investigated clearly? Second thing, you said there was an order from above. Is this the division headquarters or something else?"

"How about we talk while we eat?"
