Chapter 73 They are called Li An and Zhao Mingda
The doctor has been staying in the guest room these days, taking care of these seriously injured patients at any time. Chu Qing asked the doctor about their injuries.
Brother Zhuizi woke up on the third morning and stared at the beam in a daze with his eyes open. It wasn't until he saw Chu Qing that he was sure he was alive.
"Wei Chengyi, you are in Wushu Village. I am Chu Qing." Chu Qing was not sure whether he had amnesia or aphasia. He was seriously injured plus frostbite, and the sequelae will last for a while.
"You were seriously injured. We got you back. We are all our own people here. You are safe." Chu Qing added.
"I..." Brother Zhuizi opened his mouth, but no sound came out. His throat was hoarse and his lips were chapped.
"Don't be in a hurry to speak. Zhang Mingyu reported the information you brought back that day. Today is the third day. You can rest assured." Chu Qing predicted the questions he wanted to know and told him all.
Brother Zhui closed his eyes, obviously relieved.
Chu Qing bent the straw inserted into the water hyacinth and brought it to his mouth: "Drink water first."
"Bai Hua is next to you. He is fine and his injuries are less severe than yours." Chu Qing told him.
"Hey! The one sleeping on the edge of the kang! Wake up!" Bai Hua shouted.
"Sleep on the kang and pee on the kang!" Zhang Mingyu squeezed Bai Hua.
Brother Zhu turned his head towards them. This action was very painful for him, but he had to watch.
"It's great that you are alive." Brother Zhuizi said in a hoarse voice.
Bai Hua's eyes were red and she replied with a heavy nasal voice: "The King of Hell won't accept it!"
When Chu Qing saw it, he really came back to life. He wanted to leave, but everything was fine, so he felt relieved.
"Ms. Chu..." Brother Zhuizi called to Chu Qing and was about to speak, but Chu Qing said, "Shut up and wait for the medicine. Bai Hua, don't disturb him either."
"Come here, serve the soup and medicine! Watch them finish drinking and serve the porridge!" Chu Qing left after giving instructions.
Chu Qing went to Master Lu to watch the weapons being made. All the weapons and equipment Zhuo Yao and the others needed were being made. Because molds can be made now, they can be made very quickly.
Chu Qing came over for two new designs. One was an arm shield designed for all veterans. This is an arm guard with a small steel shield. One end reaches the crook of the arm, and the other end protrudes from the fist.
, the edge is sharp, like a shovel.
When it is put on the forearm, shake hands to form a fist, support the forearm to form a shield; punch out to form a glove. In this way, the left and right hands form a combination of long and short weapons.
The other picture is a bow designed by Chu Qing for himself. Chu Qing wanted a steel tire recurve bow.
The current carpentry is too long, which makes it inconvenient for her to move. Moreover, the solid wood bow is also very heavy. She is very strong, no different from the veterans, but it is not durable, so it is to her advantage to be lighter and smaller.
There is an arrow rest designed on the bow handle. In this battle, the accuracy was too poor. It was not the bow's fault, but Chu Qing's own lack of experience. If there was an arrow rest as an aid, it could help him keep the arrow body stable.
Finally, Chu Qing took out a bamboo pen and asked Master Lu to make several steel pieces according to the pattern. Bamboo pen tips often have to be sharpened, and the bamboo fibers will wear out after writing for a long time.
Chu Qing finally gave Master Lu one of Lao Zhao's darts, and asked him to make more of them and make some smaller ones, and he also wanted to learn how to do it.
Master Lu's eyes widened with dissatisfaction: "Are you going to exhaust me to death?"
Master Lu has been getting along with Chu Qing for a long time, and he is not as reserved as when he first came here. In addition to his own work every day, he also shares some tasks that Chu Qing has not considered, and trains many technical talents for Chu Qing. The old man also does not hide his secrets.
, he has the mentality of retiring here, so he treats Chu Qing just like his family, and he dares to complain boldly.
Xiaobao pointed to the drawing and said, "Grandpa Lu, just look at the drawing and let them do it. You drink tea and eat snacks. If they don't do it right, kick their butts."
Master Lu is not really tired. He is restless and always tries to do something new when he sees it. Otherwise, how could he be so close to veteran cadre Huang Zhong?
Brother Zhuizi woke up after sleeping for another day, and his energy level was obviously much better. Although he was still very weak, it could be seen that he felt a lot more relaxed.
"Thank you." Brother Zhuizi said to Chu Qing.
"You're welcome." Chu Qing's reaction was flat. She didn't feel as much about Brother Zhuizi as she did Bai Hua.
"..." Brother Zhuizi wanted to express his gratitude without saying a word, but he couldn't say it.
"The three of us cooperated with Mr. Bai to sneak into Donglun territory to inquire about the iron ore veins..." Brother Zhuizi simply gave up his thanks and talked about this mission.
After the iron ore was found, experts agreed that the vein extended to the territory of Donglun. Because the location marked on the original drawing was different from the actual mountain range, it needed to be confirmed. At the same time, after interrogating Cao Wang, it was learned that he had
Sent news of the iron ore.
In this way, the Dong Lun Kingdom would definitely take action. However, Cao Wang did not know the specific situation of the iron ore veins at that time. Therefore, Bai Hua and the others' mission was not only to find out the intelligence of the mineral veins, but also to spy on Dong Lun's military deployment.
"We failed to get close to the military camp in Donglun. When we arrived, they had strengthened their defense. It can be said that no fly could fly in. However, the sudden increase in sentries and checkpoints in Donglun can also be judged as the tense situation."
"People in Donglun area close to our border defense line, as long as they have some assets, are preparing to move out of their homes and want to go to the south of Donglun. But every day, the city gate rarely lets people go. The poorer people are trying their best to hoard
We speculate that they want to block the entire northern front and mobilize all the people."
"They were about to close the city, so we had to evacuate back, but there were many more checkpoints along the way. We pretended to be a caravan and paid a lot of money before we reached the border. But we couldn't get through this last checkpoint."
"After staying for two days, there was nothing we could do. We had no choice but to break through." Brother Zhuizi said: "Although we succeeded in breaking through, it also attracted pursuers. In order to cover us, Li An and Zhao Mingda turned around and rushed in.
Their cavalry caused chaos... and we were able to escape temporarily."
Bai Hua next to him was sniffling, and Brother Zhu's tears had slipped into the pillow.
"As soon as we entered the Daxuan border, our horses were exhausted. But Dong Lun's cavalry also caught up behind us. Master Bai and I could only hide in the woods."
At this point, Brother Zhui stopped and closed his eyes, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes. The tragic death of his companion made him feel as painful as a cone.
Bai Hua calmed down and continued: "It's all because of my poor kung fu, and I was injured early. Mr. Wei and the others fell into danger because they were trying to save me. Otherwise, with their light body kung fu, they wouldn't have been able to escape."
It’s not that you can’t.”
"We came together, so naturally we have to go back together." Wei Chengyi said.
In fact, from the perspective of people like Bai Hua and others from the Intelligence Agency, people from the Operations Agency who don't know a few characters will kill people and steal goods. They are no different from bandits and robbers and cannot be put on the stage. But from the perspective of people from the Operations Agency, the Intelligence Agency is just a bunch of brains.
A fool who is more sinuous than his intestines and whose body is slower than a piece of wood.
Although Chu Qing and Brother Zhui had carried out the mission to rescue Hong Liang together, they had basically no communication. He was also disgusted with their arrogant attitude and stubborn behavior.
Brother Zhuizi's story was simple, but when he thought about the scene of two people rushing into the cavalry, they must have been hacked with knives, trampled by horse hooves, and the corpses were broken into pulp... Chu Qing's heart began to throb.
"Which one is Li An and which one is Zhao Mingda?" Chu Qing asked. She couldn't tell who was who.
"The one who is slightly shorter is Zhao Mingda." Bai Hua said.
Oh, remember, Zhao Mingda is almost brother and Li An is wooden brother. Chu Qing turned around and left without saying a word.
Chu Qing took the drawing to Master Lu again: "Sir, do this first and get the mold out first." Master Lu looked at the shape of the spirit tablet on the drawing, and then looked at Chu Qing's expression: "Okay."
The next day, another furnace of molten steel was smelted. Chu Qing took the long-handled ladle from the worker's hand, scooped the molten steel and poured it into the mold. He polished and wiped it himself.
Above the two spiritual tablets, there are large characters: "Dian". On the base, the pattern on the back of the secret detective department's waist medal is carved. In the middle of the spiritual tablet, Chu Qing himself painted with gold paint: "Iron Warrior Li An", "Iron Warrior Zhao"
"Ming Da". The back of the spirit tablet: Sacrifice one's life for the country and live forever.
While doing this, Chu Qing imagined those two ordinary faces in his mind, imagining the scene when they were performing a mission together, and found that he didn't remember their appearance very clearly at all.
But it is such people who seem to look down on each other and refuse to give in to each other, but in the face of righteousness, they protect each other with their bodies and serve the country with their lives. People must have faith and understand righteousness.
After being in this world for so long, Chu Qing faced the world and the Secret Investigation Department for the first time.
