Xie Ming

Chapter 182 It’s done!

Xiao Lang pointed to the sky and fired his gun!

Just as the enemy and our side were locked in a fierce stalemate in the Governor-General's Office, intensive gunfire was heard from the direction of the infantry battalion east of Baoding City!
The surrendered general Li Hongsheng analyzed the situation and knew that nothing could be done, so he gave an order sadly, asking the forty or fifty soldiers in the front yard to stop and not resist anymore!
Upon hearing this, Qin Jing and Ding Wu still seemed unwilling to give in.

But unfortunately, at this moment the commander gave the order, and the soldiers in the courtyard had almost no will to fight, so they began to surrender one after another.

So the two of them had no choice but to obey orders, and angrily threw their weapons to the ground to express their dissatisfaction.

Afterwards, seeing that the situation was clear, the unlucky star who had taken advantage of the opportunity hurriedly staggered back to Xiao Jingchuan.

It took less than half a minute to last!
blah blah blah!
Suddenly, the sound of galloping horses was heard outside the mansion gate!
"General!"

"General!"

"Minglu is here!"

As the voice fell, in front of the government courtyard, Ma Minglu led a team of more than a hundred people and rushed to the gate of the Zhili Governor's Office!

Without hesitation, the soldiers rushed into the government office.

Minglu was the first to rush in. When he saw Xiaolang, he hurried to the front hall!

At this point, the situation in the Governor's Office was finally under complete control!
At this moment, in the front yard of the government office, Hu Chen's left arm was slightly injured, and the unlucky star in front of Xiao Lang was stabbed in the back by someone, and his flesh was covered in blood, which looked very horrifying.

More than 40 soldiers from Baoding Prefecture were killed or wounded in the courtyard, leaving less than 50.

After seeing Minglu, Xiao Jingchuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, for he was sure that the matter was settled!
After Minglu appeared, Changting also rode back quickly and ran into the government office.

Xiao Lang's tense and exhausted body finally relaxed, and at this moment, he suddenly staggered.

He swayed from side to side, his head was splitting, he was exhausted both physically and mentally, and he looked like he couldn't go on any longer!

Seeing the situation, Minglu and Changting, who were running over, rushed forward and supported him.

"Old Xiao!"

"Where is Lao Xiao?!"

At this moment, Qiu Zhizhong also arrived with a few people who had sneaked into the city.

"what?!"

"Old Xiao, what's going on?"

Seeing Xiao Lang's weak appearance, Zhizhong thought he was injured, so he hurriedly asked about the situation in front of him.

But Changting had just returned, so how could he know clearly? So he turned his gaze to the unlucky star beside him.

"Oh, Mr. Qiu, don't worry, the general is fine and not injured!"

"It must be due to the excessive mental and physical exertion over the past few days!"

The star of misfortune was helpless and rarely uttered these words.

"Well, hey!"

"He has been working so hard for several days in a row, and he is exhausted both physically and mentally. It's really too much for him!"

"Quick! Changting, take Lao Xiao to the backyard to rest for a while!"

"Lao Xiao, go lie down and take a rest. I'll take care of the rest!" Zhizhong's words were generous and thoughtful.

At this moment, beads of sweat oozed from Xiao Jingchuan's forehead, and he looked extremely exhausted.

But he is concerned about the overall gains and losses and safety. How can he let go and rest in peace before he has sorted out everything?
"Haha, wait, wait a minute!"

"Minglu!"

"What's the current situation at Peizhong?!"

"Just tell me first!" Xiao Lang said.

"Oh, General!"

"The main force has successfully entered the city!"

"Pei Zhong led his troops into the north gate and, as planned, he led his troops to rush to the east city infantry camp!"

"Chuanwu leads the team to clean up the north of the city!"

"Liu Wenbing and Gong Yonggu went to the south of the city!"

"Xu Jizu has also joined us outside the city, and is now leading his own army and Hu Chen's army of 200 to the west of the city!"

"General, don't worry!"

"We are good at night attacks, there will be no problem!" Ma Minglu replied.

Hearing this, Xiao Lang felt relieved, and then he looked at Minglu, Changting and Zhizhong in front of him. Seeing that his trusted men were all there, the last bit of worry disappeared!
While forcing a smile on his bitter face, Xiao Lang spoke again.

"Oh, that's right!"

"Hu Chen and Sang Men Xing, you two need to hurry up and get bandaged and treated!" Xiao Lang was exhausted, but he was still worried about others.

Seeing this, I sighed.

"Ouch! Old Xiao!"

"You, don't worry about this or that!"

"Look at yourself, you can't even stand!"

"Hurry! Changting, don't let him dawdle any longer, drag him to the back hall, find a room and let him lie down for a while!" Zhizhong gave another order.

"Haha, great!"

"Feiyu (Qiu Zhizhong), I'll leave the aftermath to you and Minglu!"

"I, I really should go to sleep!"

As he was speaking, Xiao Lang felt a severe headache, which made him grimace in pain. It was so uncomfortable!

But just as Yu Changting lifted him up and turned around to move backwards.

Suddenly, before leaving, Xiao Lang forced himself to turn back.

"Hey, this is a captain called Li Hongsheng!"

"Also, the two in front of the hall!"

While speaking, Xiao Lang pointed at Qin Jing and Ding Wu.

"Minglu, keep these three people in the government office for the time being."

"Take good care of him!"

"Bandage up any wounds you have!"

"I'll lie down for a while first, and then talk to them when I get up!" Xiao Lang said weakly.

"Yes! General, go and rest assured. I understand!"

While Minglu was replying, he waved his hand again to call on Changting to take action.

After saying this, Xiao Jingchuan no longer had the energy to move, so he had to be sent to the backyard by the headmaster to rest and catch up on some sleep!
But this time, Xiao Jingchuan felt very uneasy in his sleep!
Many past experiences flashed rapidly through his mind. His eyelids twitched, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his hands and feet were shaking inexplicably!

Half an hour passed quietly.
"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao!"

Half asleep and half awake, Xiao Lang suddenly heard someone calling him.

The voice is playful, childish, and delicate.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao!"

"Wake up, wake up!"

Two more sounds!

Xiao Lang gradually woke up, stretched lazily with sleepy eyes.

The bright afternoon sun baked the rubble and white walls.

Xiao Jingchuan was taking a nap under the old locust tree in the front yard of the Duke's Mansion. His sweet dream was awakened by the little girl Yu'e who was not far away.

"Brother Xiao!"

"Here, I'm here!"

Inside the second gate of the inner courtyard of the mansion, the second young lady of the Duke's Mansion, Zhu Yu'e, was clinging to the red lacquered door in a mischievous manner, poking her little head out, and waving at her in a very serious manner!
"what"

"Xiao'e, what's wrong?!"

Xiao Lang yawned, stood up lazily with a smile, walked towards Yu'e and asked casually.

"It's a kite!"

"Brother Xiao, my kite is hung on the rockery!"

"It's too high, I can't climb up, help me get down!"

Yu'e pursed her lips, with a very annoyed expression, and begged for words.

"kindness"

"Xiao'e, but Uncle Jiao said that I can't go through the second gate anymore!"

"If old man Xue Zhong sees this, he'll be scolded again!"

Xiao Lang is now about thirteen or fourteen years old. He is growing very fast, but his mind is still that of a child.

He stopped in front of the second gate, thinking of the instructions from Uncle Jiao, who was taking care of his daily life, and hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do.
