chaotic world

There are two heavens inside and outside the city.

Entering the headquarters in the city, Tang Junquan held the opponent's hand and loosened it, which turned into a hug: "Brother Zhou, I have wronged you."

Zhou Lan was also worried all the way, and he could only smile when the city gate was closed. He was really happy to see Tang Junquan. This person who is like a father and brother is a unique existence to him, and it is one of the few in his heart. one of several people.

Seeing the other party's hug, he jumped up, hugged the other party's neck, and instantly became a naughty boy. He could hardly control himself, and put his legs around the other party's waist: "Papa Tang, Papa Tang, today is really a good day!" risk!"

The long and short shoulder hooks will not let go, and the small town of Jihai is safe for the time being.The two of them, together with several soldiers close to Tang Junquan, rushed out of the map to study what to do next.

Fighting is no longer possible, let alone the strength of the security team, the Japanese army in the name of supervising the battle this time alone can beat this heavily damaged guerrilla team to death.Zhou Lan understood his own deployment, and quickly pointed out the safest way out for Tang—as long as Zhou Lan was pressed down and escaped, and passed the nearest steep mountain, the team could use the favorable terrain to escape separately. There are many mountains and trees, good horses and good horses Gun pursuit is not dominant.

"No one in my regiment dares to rebel against me." Zhou Lan said, then frowned, and continued with some anxiety: "The trouble is the Japanese, I am not very sure."

Tang Junquan knew what he said was right, but he noticed Jinshin's performance today. The leader of the Japanese army was very nervous about being hijacked, and his expression came from the heart. Controlling your emotions, showing less than your inner truth.

"That Japanese man is really nervous about you, I find it very strange, you know him very well?"

Zhou Lan was not sure. From the beginning to the present, his impression of Jinxin was not bad, no, to be precise, it was very good. He felt that this person was comfortable and credible, at least for the sake of money. credible.Loving money is a lovely habit and a trustworthy handle.

"No stranger, he has helped me a lot, even saved my life, so he can be regarded as a friend."

Tang Junquan shook his head in disapproval. He felt that with Zhou Lan's mind, it was not easy to be deceived, but this Japanese man was full of strangeness about this matter.He put away the map, ordered to get ready to go out of the city, then dismissed his followers and closed the door.

"I can't tell what's wrong, or else, you can run away with me this time, you've given your life to the Japanese, you're going to leave the nation with infamy." Tang Junquan sat at the table, speaking earnestly.

Zhou Lan smiled, poured a glass of water on his own, raised his head to take a sip, and poured another glass for Tang Junquan as if remembering it suddenly: "Look, I just drank for myself and forgot about you."

Seeing that he refused to confront him head-on, Tang Junquan was not in a hurry, he picked up the iron pot and sat on the fire: "It's cold, I'll heat it up before you drink it, don't spoil your stomach." After finishing his work, he sat upright again , Facing Zhou Lan, like a big brother, he didn't talk or smile, and didn't chase or ask.

The water boiled and creaked, and the room was filled with warm air, which made people feel very comfortable. Zhou Lan said slowly, "Papa Tang, it's not what you think. I won't work for the Japanese. I want this This team is to protect our own business. This is the first time to fight you this time. I just got a batch of weapons. I have to be serious. If I knew it was you, let alone fight, I will give you the weapons. .” As he spoke, he tentatively supported the hand on the opponent’s knee.

Tang Junquan lowered his eyes and held Zhou Lan's hand behind his back. His complexion was pink and his fingers were long and slender. He was a good player at playing the piano with both hands.Spreading out his palm and twisting it, there are thin calluses on the belly of his fingers, obviously it can be deduced that he is proficient in holding the gun.He stared at the hands and said, "If I hadn't led this guerrilla team, I'm afraid you would have wiped it out. Why don't you say you won't work for the Japanese?"

Zhou Lan couldn't deny the truth of what he said, but if it wasn't for the team led by Tang Lao, it would have been wiped out, so what's so distressing.He took the hand that was one size older than the other party, and coaxed the other party carefully: "Dad Tang, don't be angry, well, I was wrong, I was wrong, I am young and ignorant, you teach me, otherwise how can I Do you know?"

"Okay, then you come with me, don't be a second devil," Tang Junquan held his hand tightly.

Zhou Lan thought, holding each other's fists with both hands: "I can't go with you. My family has been in the security group all these years, and I feel distressed. Besides, I am in the security group. I can be an internal response for you in the future. If you hit you, you can still find out about the Japanese, isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

"You just can't bear your money."

"Money is a good thing," Zhou Lan insisted, and then blinked and eased: "Even if I go, I can't go now. I have to take my things and my troops. Father Tang, I am a poor commander and you are not good at fighting against Japan." Good deal."

With room for negotiation, Tang Junquan also felt that he should not be in a hurry. Besides, the top priority now is to get the team out of the siege. Zhou Lan will not be in danger for the time being, and he can make a long-term plan. Therefore, he no longer insists, but just tells the other party to hold his own. If the traitorous behavior is stepped on one step at a time, there will be no way to turn around in the future.

He deliberately asked: "I will contact the pass when I am out of danger. The situation is so tense now. If you are willing to surrender, the Nanjing government will definitely accept you."

His proposal is not very attractive to Zhou Lan, but Zhou Lan will not object. To be honest, if the conditions offered by the Nanjing government are favorable, his 5000 people can work with anyone. Anyway, his mind is on the opium business. Give him a safe environment, and he will stand by anyone with a gun.

The retreat went smoothly. Under the command of Imanobu, the Japanese army and the security forces did not overstep. After passing the agreed hill, the guerrillas quickly withdrew into the mountains without a trace. The advance troops led by Imanobu found the bundle. Zhou Lan on the old tree.

Putting people down, Jinxin's eyes were bloodshot, his cheeks became thinner overnight, he supported Zhou Lan's head and asked Anwei eagerly: "Are you injured, did they hit you?"

Zhou Lan didn't look haggard, but she had to pretend to be a survivor after all, with a look of shock, as if she had spent a night in prison, crying for back pain.

"Don't be afraid," Imanobu personally helped him up. Yamashita Teruo wanted to come to help, but Imanobu refused. He personally helped Zhou Lan into the car, as if lost and recovered, and refused to leave his eyes for a minute.

Hei Si'er went to drive with a wink, glanced at Zhou Lan in the rearview mirror several times, and saw that the other party looked good, so he secretly let go of his worries. Besides, in front of the Japanese, he couldn't be queued up. Without saying a word, he drove the car as smoothly as possible on the mountain road.

The car was bumping in the barren mountains, with yellow leather troop trucks in front and behind, Zhou Lan was asleep, looking tired, he didn't want to hear Jinxin's greetings.

But he was very excited in his heart. He resolved a crisis and saved Papa Tang's life with a bitter plan. It was really worth it.He thinks he is not a good person, and doing evil has become commonplace. If there is a cycle of karma in the world, and all evil words and deeds will go to hell, he will not be afraid, because those who do evil to him are the first echelon, and then it will be his turn. .

And hell is not a terrible place for him, because he has experienced the most terrible things, he himself is in hell, his heart has always been in hell, so why should he be afraid of hell.

He can enjoy himself even in hell, because there is someone he really cares about in his heart. Although the third aunt is not his biological mother, she treats him like her own child, and he has to repay every day he lives; The most sincere and warmest light, he is willing to commit himself to him even if he is both male and female. This is love and gratitude; there are also Uncle Dumb and Yunhai, who are all his relatives. This kind of relationship does not come from blood relationship, but He cherishes it more than blood relationship.Where is Masaharu Imanobu?Zhou Lan hesitated for a moment, but he could barely be considered a foreign friend. The other party came to the rescue several times. If it weren't for the hostility between the two countries, Zhou Lan would really like to make this friend sincerely.

His pleasure is that he walks in hell, allowing those who care about him and his loved ones to live in heaven.With his blood-stained hands, he earned golden bars and silver dollars, so that the elderly mother could spend her old age peacefully and comfortably in the safe concession area under Shumei's considerate service; Licking blood on the tip of the human ration knife, carrying it alone, Zhou Lanlai is the head of the regiment, he is really a hot potato, but he can't throw it to Yunfeng, because he also foresees that the day of scalding will come eventually Every time Yunhai and the two of them want to finish the check and leave happily, Zhou Lan is really happy. Butler Du is dead, and his son Yunfeng and Yunhai have no malicious intentions themselves, they are both his brothers.Therefore, he commits the sins, and let the people he cares about enjoy the enjoyment.

It was a day's drive back to the security group, and he planned to ask Du Yunfeng to return to Fengtian immediately. After this round of fighting, Tang Junquan's team would withdraw from this area, so the security group would no longer have to go out to fight the Chinese.Thinking of seeing Yunfeng in a few days, he was very happy.

However, the reality was quite different from what he expected.At this moment, Du Yunfeng had already arrived at the security regiment, he entered the regiment calmly, armed himself, and prepared ammunition supplies.All the way back to Fengtian from Shanghai, he was thinking in his heart, he didn't want to believe what Second Concubine said, but unfortunately the time and evidence in the other party's mouth were all right.She bit Zhou Lan tightly, but it was actually not good for her, the only reason was that what she said was the truth.

Du Yunfeng is a very confident person and has an objective estimate of his abilities.But his affection for Zhou Lan was far beyond his own expectations. On the day he and Zhou Lan married for a hundred years, he was really prepared to kill each other, but Zhou Lan dared to bet his life with him. As long as they face each other, he will become Zhou Lan's defeated opponent.

Therefore, he no longer wants to confront him face to face, he is not Zhou Lan's opponent.Some of the brothers brought by his subordinate Black Eagle Mountain have long been dissatisfied with Zhou Lan, and they are more willing to follow Du Yunfeng, because Du Yunfeng values ​​friendship, unlike Zhou Lan who does not care about old feelings.Du Yunfeng had these confidants, and during Zhou Lan's absence, he mutinied within the security regiment.

The most loyal member of the security team to Zhou Lan is the security squad of 20 people. At the beginning, Du Yunfeng chose the best young man. The head of the security squad was Hei Sier. Ji Ling was cautious, so he put him by Zhou Lan's side with confidence.

Now the security squad is accompanying Zhou Lan, and they are on their way back to Fengtian.The other thousands of people in the security regiment are all under the direct control of the battalion commanders, and most of the battalion commanders are old people from Black Eagle Mountain.

Shut up those possible scumbags into the regiment's prison. Du Yunfeng still has more than 1000 people armed, and Zhou Lan's team has less than 3000 people. Du Yunfeng doesn't want to face him face to face. He wants the two armies to confront each other. However, if Zhou Lan really killed his father, he would fight with him. Even if he was a lover, even if he swore to each other, it would not be able to offset the revenge of killing his father.

Zhou Lan ran towards his lover on the journey home like an arrow, while Du Yunfeng stood ready with knives, guns and sticks.

It was just dark in the evening, and it was extremely cold. Zhou Lan still felt cold with a carbon box in the car. He remembered that evening a few years ago, when he was chased by Japanese soldiers like a lost dog. At this moment, he was with a senior Japanese general. We were in the same car, and outside the car were carloads of Japanese soldiers in the cold wind.That year, Yunfeng gave him a glimmer of life and saved him in case of emergency. Now he is strong enough to give Yunfeng a shelter and treat him with sincerity.

The current situation is changing, but he feels safe and satisfied in the chaos outside the Great Wall.

In his subsequent life, he seldom felt safe and secure. During the past few years of war and displacement, whenever he recalled this part of his life, he hoped that time would stop forever before this moment.

The Japanese army parted ways with the security team on the way, and Imanobu said goodbye and left in a military jeep.On the way back to the base camp of the security regiment, Zhou Lan seemed to smell something strange in the air.The soldiers stationed along the way were loaded with live ammunition and followed the returning team into the camp of the security regiment. It was more like a silent escort than a welcome from their own people.

After the soldiers returned to the camp, they all entered the barracks area for repairs. Zhou Lan unloaded his guns and arms and went to the regiment headquarters. Although he felt something was wrong, he couldn't tell. The security regiment was his place. Who has the courage and ability to commit chaos.

The light of the adjutant's building was on, so he stopped and turned to go to the adjutant's building.The door was unlocked, and the first floor was a teahouse with a small space. Several mid-level officers at the battalion commander level were gathering together, seemingly chatting.

They are all old people from Black Eagle Mountain——Zhou Lan noticed at the first time that it is not surprising that they get together, but today they feel a little awkward.Zhou Lan's intuition told him something was wrong before his rationality. Years of fearful life had subtly influenced his sensitive intuition.

"What are you doing here?" Zhou Lan asked calmly, not the same as usual.

"Leader, brother came back from Shanghai ahead of schedule, and I'm waiting for you upstairs." One of the battalion deputy named Li Shusen said with an uneasy smile.After the matter of the third child, they became more afraid of Zhou Lan, as if they had seen through Zhou Lan Wenxiu's body was a murderous soul, although they should have realized the moment Zhou Lan collapsed Hu Fengbei. This point, I don’t know what affected their judgment, so that they realized it so late in fear, and once they realized it, this kind of fear was not just a single point, but overwhelming, covering them overwhelmingly.

He smiled so reluctantly that the others seemed to be on the verge of losing their expressions.

Zhou Lan stared at him and snorted softly: "Oh?".

He had no intention of going upstairs at all, instead he walked around them a few steps lightly, he thought, there is a trap upstairs.

"Yunfeng!" He yelled at the group leaders, he didn't go upstairs, he wanted to see what tricks these people were up to.

However, to his surprise, Du Yunfeng's voice came from upstairs: "I'm here."

The crisis was resolved in an instant, Zhou Lan turned and went upstairs without hesitation, walking briskly, almost laughing to himself that he was too suspicious, and he no longer felt suspicious when the people downstairs were wiping their sweat nervously.

With Yunfeng around, Zhou Lan never felt unsafe.

The adjutant building is a side building with a two-story structure. The actual area is not large. There are only two and a half rooms on each floor, and the position of the stairs is also counted, so the mahogany stairs are very narrow. Only one person can go up and down. Just pass by.

The red-lacquered wooden door upstairs was half-closed, and Zhou Lan happily pushed the door open. His Yunfeng was sitting upright on the single sofa, wearing the suit he had returned from Shanghai, with his back straight and his body leaning forward. The two elbows are propped on the knees of the legs, and the gold-cased pocket watch is being played with in the hand, and the switch is turned on and off, and a golden chain is hung between the pocket watch and the inner pocket of the suit.As Zhou Lan opened the door, he raised his head and looked directly at the other party.

"Don't tell me when you come back early." Zhou Lan approached him and stroked his hair familiarly: "Why don't you talk?"

Du Yunfeng raised his head and looked at him quietly, his eyes stayed for a moment, then turned to behind Zhou Lan.

Following his gaze, there was a woman curled up behind the door.The second aunt was still wearing the same cheongsam she wore in Shanghai, with a small soldier’s military overcoat wrapped around it, her hair disheveled, shivering from the cold and fear.

The moment he saw Second Aunt, Zhou Lan didn't have any abnormal expression, he was just silent, and a sense of powerlessness slowly hit him, not because of fear, not because of panic, but because his enthusiasm faded instantly and his blood turned cold down.

The heating in this room is so hot that the atmosphere has reached freezing point.

Du Yunfeng was leaning back on the sofa, half of the gun handle seemed to be exposed from his waist.Zhou Lan glanced at it, and suddenly sneered: "You don't mean what you say."

During the time Du Yunfeng waited alone, he imagined countless times how Zhou Lan would face this confrontation, how he would deny the living testimony, or come up with new reasons to convince himself.Du Yunfeng secretly hoped that Zhou Lan could really come up with a plausible reason, otherwise what would Du Yunfeng do?

Kill Zhou Lan?To kill this lover whom he swore to?

Do not kill?The hatred of killing his father is too great, how can he just laugh it off.

He hoped to find the loopholes in Second Concubine's words, but along the way, the police escorted her back with Second Concubine's back, and he questioned everyone who should be interrogated, and he couldn't refute what she said.

He had a glimmer of hope. His little Mu'an looked confused and at a loss. Give him the courage to believe in him. Before the dream bubble is shattered, maybe he will choose to believe stubbornly.

However, Zhou Lan's first sentence was "You don't count what you say."

The meaning was very clear, pointing directly at his pursuit of Steward Du's murder. It was so clear, so sensitive, and so did not leave him with any illusions.

Du Yunfeng stood up. He was slightly taller. He faced Zhou Lan face to face, almost condescendingly suppressing him. He asked coldly, "You really lied to me? Did you really set the fire?"

Zhou Lan didn't look at him, and lowered his head. His head was already spinning rapidly. This living witness was here, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what. Has the scandal of the Zhou family been exposed?His unknown life experience, bloody and dark past must be revealed to the world?

He subconsciously whispered, "I didn't kill your father."

Du Yunfeng's eyes could shoot out fire, his cheeks were clearly defined because of clenched teeth, and his expression was cold and hard. He roared: "Say it again!"

The second aunt was so frightened that she cried out in this roar, she leaned against the wall tremblingly, unable to hide.Zhou Lan was so close to Du Yunfeng, he closed his eyes in despair, and the moment he opened them again, as if he had made up his mind, he reached towards the other's waist, quickly drew his gun, and turned around to aim at Second Aunt.

Du Yunfeng was also on guard, and then he drew another gun from his waist and aimed it at Zhou Lan's temple.The muzzle of the gun was hard, and it was pressed hard against the temple. Du Yunfeng's donkey temper came up, and he was not a soft-hearted person: "Kill to kill?"

Zhou Lan was stunned for a moment, he found it incredible that his little Yunfeng pointed a gun at his head, no matter what happened before, he can still point a gun at his head today?

There are thousands of people in this world, everyone can be his enemy, everyone can put him to death, but how can Yunfeng?

"I don't believe you will shoot me." Zhou Lan's heart was trembling, not because of fear, but because of disappointment, but his voice was unrealistically cold, as if it did not come from the same body as the trembling heart.

Du Yunfeng was unmoved, he asked simply and directly: "Is it you?"

Zhou Lan thought about words again, Second Auntie was already crying, she was so frightened that she was shitting, and Zhou Lan pointed her gun at her. She had seen Zhou Lan kill countless people at a young age, and she hadn't Live enough, she doesn't want to die.She lay on the ground and kowtowed vigorously to Zhou Lan: "Please let me go, I have already hidden so far, I don't want to be as miserable as Lao Du! Please, let me go."

Zhou Lan didn't pay attention to the gun in Du Yunfeng's hand. He just threw his gun on the ground and walked towards the woman on the ground who was like chaff. on the ground.

"Second Aunt," Zhou Lan called her in a quiet voice like when she was a child, still seeming a little timid.He seemed puzzled: "Second aunt, if you didn't force me and my mother to die, how dare I do evil at such a young age? Why would I do evil? Eldest brother and second elder brother bully me, you all feel sorry for me!" You know it well, right? They wouldn’t dare to do it without adults’ instigation, right?” He looked back at Du Yunfeng, and continued: “You and Lao Du secretly cheated on men and women, hooked up with each other, and kicked me and my mother out of the house. You don't forget the conspiracy, do you?"

The second aunt was crying, but Du Yunfeng couldn't understand: "What did you say?"

Zhou Lan looked at him in surprise. He thought Second Aunt had explained everything, including her relationship with Lao Du and Du Yunfeng's life experience.He sighed, and continued to say to the woman on the ground: "Second Aunt, I never intended to harm you, but you kept pushing me to my death again and again. First use your adopted son to squeeze me out, and then You colluded with Lao Du to covet the property of the Zhou family. After Lao Du died, you took away all the money in the family. My mother even sold the bracelet that had been close to me for many years. I don’t know where I’m rotten in now.” Zhou Lan paused, then continued: “I won’t kill you, but you always kill me. You and Lao Du’s plan, Yunfeng’s life experience, I guess You haven't said it yet, have you?"
