Chapter 6: Escaping into the Army
Early on, Su Xiang arrived near Tong Cheng city gate and waited patiently for the opportunity. 2
A few hours later, the sky gradually darkened.
The autumn wind was bleak, but the majestic city gate stood tall. It was like a ghost dressed in a black robe, overlooking the people coming and going in the darkness. It was deep and solemn, as if it would open its bloody mouth at any time and devour people.
Not long after, more and more people Tong Cheng the city gates. Under the strict requirements of patrol inspection, people lined up and could only leave the city with their passes.
Taking advantage of the night, Su Xiang quickly changed her equipment in the hidden area. Although the uniform was a little loose, it just so happened to cover the layers of clothing inside, facilitating her identity as a man. As for the Browning, she hid it in her waistcoat. Even if she was searched, it would be hard for others to find it.
When everything was ready, Su Xiang walked out of the hiding place. His tiny body was stuck to a stall vendor's stand beside him, and he was on guard.
He lowered his head and looked at his wristwatch. It was already 8:58. It was almost time...
She looked into the distance and gradually saw a military truck slowly coming from behind. There were still quite a few people standing in line at the city gate. When they saw a military vehicle coming, they hurriedly dodged to the side and planned to open a path for it.
It was now! Su Xiang angrily rushed over.
Since she was young, she had been raised by Su Family as a man. Although she was a "deaf-mute young master ", Supervisor Liu, the bodyguard, had carried Master Su on his back and secretly taught her a lot of martial arts. Therefore, her movements were much more agile than those of ordinary people.
The only valuable leather case had already been given to the Song Mei. There was only a bundle left on his body. At this moment, he was running like a whirlwind, turning into a black shadow, silently!
The night was as cold as ink. Because of the appearance of the truck, the crowd began to become chaotic. The agile black shadow grabbed the handle of the back seat of the truck and did not enter it. It melted into the darkness and could not see anything.
She had thought that the car would be filled with soldiers, but when she fell, she realized that there were hard things under her feet. They were like grains of sand, protecting her from injuries.
She reached out and grabbed... It turned out that the car was filled with rice. It really helped me! Su Xiang thought.
Perhaps the soldiers driving the military truck were not low-ranking. Su Xiang had just landed safely, the captain of the Tong Cheng patrol team automatically released the truck. Since then, the truck had been unimpeded.
This was a grain cart. It was of great significance. Those who could come out from the Tong Cheng were either Commander Ma or Army Xiao people. Su Xiang thought that the central shaft of the Army Xiao was close to the Tong Cheng. It was highly likely. She knew very well what Commander Ma was like. With this pedantic Tong Cheng system, she was definitely not in the mood to pour food. Moreover, Tong Cheng was the second granary after Yi Chuan. It was likely that Army Xiao was in a hurry to transport the food out of the city this late at night.
Su Xiang had heard about the last battle of the Yan Cheng. It was said that the northern New Army had fought back in a desperate situation and had won a small victory Army Xiao. After that, the New Army had taken them away as soon as they saw the good news. The remaining troops had already safely withdrawn their Xin Cheng. There were rumors that this was not meant to be Shen Hongguo by thein-Chief, but the personal decision of the Commander-in-Chief's Third Young Master Shen Shilin. The father and son had almost caused discord over this matter. Fortunately, the result was satisfactory and Third Young Master Shen gained the old Warlord's further trust.
Perhaps Army Xiao had suffered a heavy setback from the New Army and needed food to appease the rear.
But this had nothing to do with Su Xiang! As long as she was halfway there, she would take the opportunity to jump. Song Yanbo now, life and death were uncertain. No matter what, she had to meet him.
Unfortunately, that night, Su Xiang didn't find an opportunity. The military truck Vast Night like it was running for its life. After leaving the city, it rushed like an arrow and headed north, so it could n' t find the right time.
In addition, she had just recovered from her illness and was still exhausted. Not long after, Su Xiang fell asleep.
When she woke up, she realized that the car had stopped.
At this moment, a fish belly turned white in the horizon. It was not bright yet, and the cold condensation of dew was extremely dense, wetting the roof.
Compared to Tong Cheng, the temperature here was several degrees lower. Only winter would have a bone-chilling chill that would invade her skin from time to time. If her guess was correct, she had already entered Bei Di realm. Alarmed, she quickly got up from the rice bag!
This was either New Army territory or the territory of the garrison. How could Army Xiao transport grain to Bei Di? Wasn't it because the wolf entered the tiger's mouth? This matter was too strange!
Through the crack in the truck, Su Xiang could see a small mountain forest. There were few trees in the forest, like skeletons with black steel forks. There were few leaves left. At the foot of the mountain forest, there was a slightly shabby house. It looked extremely simple and crude.
Outside the house, there were a few sentries in dark green military uniforms. Although the weather was very cold, their waists were unusually straight and their expressions were solemn. They stood motionless with their hands in their hands. One could tell that they were well-trained teams.
Su Xiang took a deep breath. Now that the other party had Qiang, he must not act rashly.
She crawled on the rice bag and thought of a way. A moment later, she saw an officer wearing a military hat walking out of the house. After quickly returning the salute to the sentries, she took a steady military step and walked towards the military truck.
This officer was the Secretary of the New Army Chief of Staff Gao Junjie. This time, he had given the orders of the Young Marshal to set up a shaft here to be responsible for the New Army of food.
This batch of grain was 2 tons in total. It had been sent out from South Of The Yangtze River. It had gone through three provinces and four cities. It had to pass through the two gates of Yi Chuan and Tong Cheng before it arrived here all the way north.
Soon, the driver got out of the car and reported the situation to Gao Junjie.
"Is everything going well?"
"Report to the Secretary-General, everything is going smoothly. However, Yi Chuan has recently entered the enemy. It will take some time to pass the pass."
Yes! Gao Junjie agreed and then said," Go in. Third Young Master just called and ordered our army to stop the food transportation and give me the car keys. You don't need to be on duty in these two days."
"Yes!" "Secretary-General!"
Gao Junjie took the key to the truck and walked around the military truck. Finally, he arrived behind the truck.
The rear door of the truck was tightly locked with a big iron lock. The roof was also tightly covered by a thick canvas canopy. However, even so, every batch of grain that arrived at the shaft had to be inspected personally by the Gao Junjie. Only after confirming that there were no problems would they send people to New Army granary.
Gao Junjie straightened his military cap and bent down. With a click, the iron lock was released.
Creak! The door of the truck box was forcefully opened and a blinding light shot in. Su Xiang's body was already close to the edge of the truck's wall. Both of her hands were clinging to the rail with all their might. This dark corner that had not yet been affected by the light became her only shelter.
As usual, Gao Junjie wanted to personally check on the car. At this moment, a loud voice came from behind him." Secretary-General, the Chief of Staff is looking for you. He said there's something urgent!"
Gao Junjie left. Due to the sudden incident, he did not have time to lock the door.
