Chapter 120: Pull out hidden dangers

Wu Shaoting escorted the bandits he had previously captured to Shilin and combined the two groups of prisoners into one place. He ordered all officers to start counting the casualties and let the soldiers clean up the battlefield.

At this moment, Chen Sheng and others, who were originally guarding Shunlin as the reserve team, rushed over.

Chen Sheng didn't know that Zhao Qianxun was dead yet. He was very depressed. Zhao Qianxun did not act according to the plan and actually defeated the bandits with his subordinates. What does this mean? It was precisely because Zhao Qianxun failed to create a chaotic scene of defeat that he could not arrange for Li Chen to shoot the black gun.

But at this point, he could do nothing, so he could only bear this breath and teach him a good lesson after finding Zhao Qianxun.

However, as soon as Chen Sheng arrived in Shilin, a soldier in the second team told him that Zhao Qianxun was shot by Wu Shaoting.

After hearing this news, Chen Sheng understood that Wu Shaoting had already left a hand.

He was very shocked now, on the one hand, because of Zhao Qianxun's death, on the other hand, he was speculating whether Wu Shaoting already knew something! The people from the third battalion got lost and ran to the first battalion. Wu Shaoting wanted to kill a warning to Bai and so coincidentally chose Zhao Qianxun. This didn't seem like a coincidence.

He gradually became a little nervous. If Wu Shaoting knew his plan and got rid of Zhao Qianxun in advance, wouldn’t it be his turn soon?

Chen Sheng dared not gamble, especially he used his life as a bet.

After a brief hesitation, he decided to take action first. Only by completely eliminating Wu Shaoting himself could he feel relieved.

Immediately, he sent someone to find Li Chen, a guard of the battalion guard.

Li Chen originally thought that Zhao Qianxun's action would make Chen Sheng give up assassinating Wu Shaoting, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, after seeing Chen Sheng, he knew that the matter was not over when he saw Chen Sheng's expression, and he couldn't help but feel nervous again.

Chen Sheng pulled Li Chen closer, lowered his voice and said to him: "You sneak up there quietly now." He pointed to the rocky area where the bandits had fought with the official army before, "Then I will lead Wu Shaoting over, give me a chance to shoot him to death. Do you understand?"

Li Chen's face changed drastically and he said in panic: "Brother Chen, but now the bandits have already..."

Chen Sheng interrupted Li Chen and said coldly: "What are you afraid of? You went over and shot Wu Shaoting to death. I immediately shouted that there were bandits who missed the net and shot the black gun. Who knows? Zhao Qianxun had been beaten to death by Wu Shaoting. He is my brother. I must avenge this revenge. Why, are you afraid? Or... did you leak the secret?"

Li Chen felt cold in his heart and was startled on the spot. He quickly said, "Brother Chen, why did I betray Brother Chen, Brother Chen, you... don't you believe me?"

Chen Sheng's face was gloomy and he said, "Is that so? Since you still call me brother, then you go now and I'll deal with the rest! Go quickly."

Li Chen had no choice but to nod, and then quietly left the team. However, he had already made up his mind that he would not hit Wu Shaoting no matter what.

After Li Chen left, Chen Sheng called his confidant soldiers and said in a low voice: "You go over and follow Li Chen. As long as Li Chen shoots Wu Shaoting to death, you will kill Li Chen."

Although Chen Sheng didn't want to do so well, he began to doubt whether Li Chen had leaked the secret. In addition, Zhao Qianxun was blamed for his poor work. Now that the bandits have settled all of them, they will definitely be exposed as soon as Li Chen fires a shot. Li Chen knows too much, and once he is arrested, it is hard to guarantee that he will not tell everything he knows.

Therefore, we can only do it without stopping!

The soldier nodded and asked again, "If Li Chen fails to hit, should I make up for it?"

Chen Sheng pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "Brother, you have to know that if you re-shot, I may not be able to save you."

The soldier smiled coldly and said, "Mr. Chen, don't worry, I won't make it difficult for Lord Chen."

Chen Sheng had no extra time to think about the price now, so he could only nod and said, "Okay, you can do it yourself."

The soldier left quietly.

After this arrangement was completed, Chen Sheng took the camp office’s people to Wu Shaoting’s side.

When Wu Shaoting saw Chen Sheng, his face was calm, but something else was brewing in his heart.

Chen Sheng pretended to be anxious and walked over quickly, and asked quickly: "Mr. Wu, are you okay? Bei Zhi was just about to bring people here to reinforce the third team. Later, he found that there was something wrong with Master Wu and the second team, so he planned to turn to Master Wu for support. As a result, it wasted time like this, Bei Zhi deserves to die."

Wu Shaoting smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. There is no need for support to deal with these mobs."

Chen Sheng nodded repeatedly and said, "It is still Lord Wu who has good leadership. All the soldiers of the battalion followed Lord Wu's pace so smoothly to wipe out these bandits."

Wu Shaoting was amused in his heart. Chen Sheng was really a smiling tiger who was good at disguising! If such a person was not eliminated, there would be endless troubles. He said, "By the way, please send someone down the mountain to inform us of the battle situation on our side of the commander. See if there are any other instructions on it!"

Chen Shengying said: "Go and do it immediately."

He paused, but did not rush to pass the order, but asked again: "Mr. Wu, I heard that Zhao Qianxun, the officer of the second team, asked you to shoot him? Oh, Bei Zhi did not mean that the shooting was wrong. Such people who feared the enemy and corrupted military discipline should be shot on the spot to serve as a warning to others. But..."

Wu Shaoting frowned and asked, "It's just what?"

Chen Sheng looked around mysteriously, then lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Wu, let's talk with you."

Wu Shaoting didn't think much about it, so he followed Chen Sheng to the other side.

Chen Sheng naturally followed his plan and deliberately led Wu Shaoting to a place close to the stone forest.

"Tell me, what's the secret?" Wu Shaoting asked impatiently.

"Mr. Wu, you don't know that Zhao Qianxun is actually a relative of Lord Zhao. Look, both of them are surnamed Zhao." Chen Sheng made up a lie casually and said, and at the same time he took a step back subconsciously to distance himself from Wu Shaoting so as not to be accidentally injured by a bullet.

"Is that true? There is such a thing? But so what? The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone Zhao Biaotong!" Wu Shaoting said with a strong attitude with his waist.

At this moment, a gunshot came from the stone forest. However, the gun hit only one meter away from Wu Shaoting's feet. At the same time as the gunshots, Wu Shaoting decisively pulled out his pistol, pulled the trigger while swinging the gun, and then aimed at Shi Lin and pulled the trigger for the second time.

This is a move he learned when training finger sensitivity in the 21st century. The instructor will use modified pistols to train the nerve control of special forces. The trigger of this modified pistol is very loose and can open fire with a light touch, so it is easy to get fire. He often gets fired as soon as he pulls out the holster during his initial training. Over time, he thinks that if the enemy appears at the same time as the middle distance at the same time, he can open fire twice in the instant of pulling the gun.

The first shot that was shot in the flash just now was to hit Chen Sheng, and the second shot was to hit the soldier behind Li Chen.

Wu Shaoting is not a fool. As a special forces soldier, he is good at observing. When he was brought here by Chen Sheng, he found two figures on Shilin. The entire number one target soldier was trained by him. Can't he see the lurking disguise of these soldiers?

Hearing the gunshots, the soldiers rushed over immediately.

Sun Jizhi, the acting officer of the second team, directed the soldiers to surround Shilin, and then came to Wu Shaoting and asked in a slight voice: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu, are you okay!"

Wu Shaoting shook his head. He deliberately made his face look heavy and said, "I'm fine. Someone from Shilin shot, and it seemed that he had hit Adjutant Chen. Hurry up and see how Adjutant Chen is doing."

At this time, Ni Duan and the third team officer also rushed over. The third team officer stepped forward to check Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng had not completely died, and the bullet hit his lungs, and he was in a state of suffocation.

Chen Sheng's whole body twitched, his eyes full of hatred and reluctance, staring at Wu Shaoting with a stare, his mouth was like a dehydrated goldfish, and he couldn't keep opening and closing, but he couldn't make any sound.

The officer of the third team quickly asked, "Mr. Chen, what are you going to say?"

Wu Shaoting looked cold. If Chen Sheng really made a sound at this time, he would have made another shot without hesitation.

But at this time, even if Chen Sheng used all his strength, he couldn't call a word. He was very unwilling to give up and raised his hand tremblingly as if he was about to point at Wu Shaoting.

Wu Shaoting immediately squatted down, held Chen Sheng's hand tightly, and said with a solemn expression: "Adminton Chen, if you have anything else, just tell me, I will definitely help you. Talk, talk!"

Chen Sheng rolled his eyes and his last breath was so angry that he was dying of Wu Shaoting.

The third team official sighed, took off his military cap and said, "Adminton Chen is usually very nice to us. He is one of the few veterans in our first battalion. I didn't expect... I didn't expect, alas!"

Wu Shaoting saw Chen Sheng's prestige from the officers of the third team. He immediately sighed in a pretentious manner, then reached out and closed his eyes for Chen Sheng, and said, "When reporting, he said that Adjutant Chen died in the battle and prepared for the funeral as the martyrs."

Ni Duan, who was standing behind Wu Shaoting, silently saw this scene. Although he was not sure how Chen Sheng died, he felt very uncomfortable with Wu Shaoting's false and hypocritical appearance. He was very worried. What should he do if Wu Shaoting pretended to the revolution?

Wu Shaoting turned to the third team officer. The other party was a young man in his early twenties and had a big nose. He had thought that the third team officer's ability to lead troops was worthy of appreciation, so he asked, "What's your name?"

The officer of the third team replied: "I am humble in my position, Li Jishen!"

Wu Shaoting was shocked at the time. He remembered that after he took office as the First Battalion, he spent a night to meet the main officers under the First Battalion. If he saw the name of the big man Li Jishen, how could he not recognize him?

Li Jishen, whose courtesy name is Renchao, is a major politician in the Guangdong clan, vice president of the Whampoa Military Academy. He was formerly a senior general of the Kuomintang. He was one of the main founder and leader of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee of China. He is from Cangwu, Guangxi. Vice Chairman of the First, Second and Third National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

Wu Shaoting knew that Li Jishen studied at Guangzhou Huangpu Army Middle School in his early years and the Army Quick Training School. After graduation, Li Jishen served as an intern and platoon leader in the new army. According to the normal progress of history, in 1909, that is, this year, Li Jishen will be admitted to the Military Consultant Officer School (the famous Army University) located in Baoding for further studies.

It was so surprising that Li Jishen was intern in the first battalion of the first quotation!

"Your name is Li Jishen? I remember that the third team officer is not named Li." Wu Shaoting asked in confusion.

"Don't you know, Lord Wu? Bei Zhi was originally the platoon leader of the first battalion. Four days ago, the former third team officer was promoted to the commander's office. Zhao Biao appointed Bei Zhi to fill in the gaps. Master Wu should know about this matter!" Li Jishen was also confused.

Wu Shaoting gradually guessed the reason for the incident. Zhao Sheng indeed built the first battalion into his own private property. The transfer arrangement was done without going through the battalion commander. He took a deep breath, smiled indifferently, and said, "Oh, there is something happening, I have forgotten these days."

"Does Lord Wu have any instructions?" Li Jishen asked.

"Oh, that's right, Adjutant Chen died. From now on, you will serve as my adjutant." Wu Shaoting said majesticly. He reminded himself in his heart that no matter how famous Li Jishen is, in the present, the other party is an ordinary young man, and he is his immediate boss.

"Ah? Well, I'm not going to be able to follow the order." Li Jishen was stunned. This was the first time he heard that the team officer who led the troops could also serve as the adjutant of the chief officer. However, since the adults had given the order, he still had to do it. At worst, he could just eat more in the future.

At this time, the soldiers who went to encircle the stone forest captured Li Chen and carried another body over.

Li Chen was quickly taken to Wu Shaoting. He lowered his head, his face calm, and he was willing to deal with it.

"Li Chen? Old Tang?" Sun Jizhi was immediately surprised. These two people were both guards of the battalion office.

"Well, let Li Chen go. I sent him there to pick up the shell casing. This matter should have nothing to do with him. I just saw that this man fired the gun, so I killed him." Wu Shaoting said in a serious tone.

"But Lord Wu, when we caught him, he was holding a gun, and he didn't say anything when asked him!" said a soldier escorting Li Chen.

"Mr. Wu, it's better to investigate clearly first," said Sun Jizhi.

"If you want to investigate, investigate the person who was beaten to death by me. Why did he attack me and Adjutant Chen! I can guarantee that Li Chen has nothing to do with this matter, because I had a midnight snack with him the night before yesterday. Let him go." Wu Shaoting said emphatically.

Ni Duan knew the inside story of this matter, so he knew very well that Wu Shaoting was deliberately protecting Li Chen. This showed that Wu Shaoting was affectionate and righteous. So he also stood up and said, "Mr. Wu asked you to let go, then let it go. Why don't you take Lord Wu seriously?"

The soldiers immediately let go of Li Chen.

Li Chen then realized that Chen Sheng was dead. He was surprised. Did he hit Chen Sheng by mistake just now? But he was clearly aiming at the ground. He suddenly became confused and thought about the situation at that time. However, because he was too nervous at that time, he was also very nervous now and could not think of any details at all.

At this moment, he felt unprecedented self-blame and even had the idea of ​​apologizing for death.

The soldiers around saw Li Chen's sad look, but no one was surprised because everyone in the First Battalion knew the relationship between Li Chen and Chen Sheng.

Next, Wu Shaoting simply took care of the matter. He pushed the responsibility for the shooting to the dead Lao Tang, and asked everyone to focus on why Lao Tang did this. But in everyone's opinion, Lao Tang was the most unlikely to kill Chen Sheng, because Lao Tang and Chen Sheng had known each other before they were transferred to the new army for five years.

Wu Shaoting asked Li Jishen to organize the matter into a report, and together with the previous battle with the bandits, he sent people to the commander at the foot of the mountain to quickly send it to the commander at the foot of the mountain. It was already late noon, and the whole army had been busy all morning, and everyone was already tired and hungry. So Wu Shaoting issued an order to rest and arranged for sentries to guard the situation. The rest sat there and took out dry food to fill the hunger.

Taking advantage of this time, Wu Shaoting specially found Li Chen and told him that Lao Tang was going to kill Li Chen.

Li Chen knew that Lao Tang was Chen Sheng's confidant. At first, he was puzzled why Lao Tang was behind him. If it was really as Lord Wu said that Lao Tang came to kill him, it must have been arranged by Chen Sheng! It was difficult for him to accept this fact, and Wu Shaoting did not deliberately explain anything, but just asked Li Chen to put everything down and everything returned as usual.

Not long after, the first team rushed over to meet Wu Shaoting.

The first team also encountered bandits while searching on the other side of Dayan Mountain, but they were all bandits. After only a few shots, they were all subdued.

Wu Shaoting asked the first team to sit down and rest and eat dry food. He didn't plan to move forward now, so he just waited for the commander's reply here. He knew very well that so many things happened in the First Battalion today, it was a bandit suppression, a righteous law, and an assassination. Both Zhao Sheng and Zhang Renjun would be shocked and would definitely pull the First Battalion down for investigation.

While waiting, gunfire sounds faintly came from afar, but it sounded very far away and the firepower was not dense. I guess this was the second or third battalion who discovered some other bandits' straitors and straitors, and the fire was in exchange.
Chapter completed!
