Chapter 100, through the past to see the truth (1)
Qiao Xinpeng's face turned blue. He stared at Cao Lan, just preparing to take action when he saw that the opportunity was wrong.
"Guan Sier, my nickname is Shan Ge'er, do you still remember it?" Cao Lan suddenly said softly.
"You are the Shan brother who has been to my house since childhood and saved my life with others?" Qiao Xinpeng was already alert.
"That's right, you have a red birthmark that is as big as a nail on your chest, which is right." Cao Lan smiled.
"Brother Shan!" Qiao Xinpeng, well, maybe he should have asked Guan Xinpeng to relax his expression and his fingers left the hilt of the knife.
"Haha, did you want to do it just now?" Cao Lan smiled.
"I was young when I was not grateful to Brother Shan for helping me, so I first bowed." Guan Xinpeng finished speaking, fell to the ground and bowed.
"At you get up, what's the matter with a man's family? I want me to talk about Taizu's administration. I cancel my kneeling and respect my parents and teachers. I like the most. We are men, so we should be straight and be a man. Let's make jokes when we worship each other." Cao Lan smiled.
"Well, Brother Shan, you saved me with someone that day, and then I never met again. I asked my family that day, but no one knew you. And I never knew you were from the Cao family, otherwise I would have gone to find you... Brother, how did you recognize me?" Guan Xinpeng said excitedly.
"Don't say this, I am a member of the Cao family. Grandma doesn't love my uncle or love us. We are actually the same... Your appearance has not changed much from when you were young, and you like to squint your eyes and smile as soon as you speak. Originally, my big watery eyes turned into small strips, but I have always remembered this characteristic. By the way, Sier, why did you join the Benlei Army? Why did you change your name? Your personality has become like this..." Cao Lan hesitated for a moment.
"I also came in after graduating from military academy. As for changing my name, I will tell you in detail. As for my personality, Brother Shan said it's okay. Are you saying that I'm becoming very proud now, and even a little domineering?" Guan Xinpeng said with a smile.
"Well, this is not good!" Cao Lan said earnestly, and a hint of gratitude flashed in Guan Xinpeng's eyes. After all, no one close to you wouldn't say such things to you.
"I did it on purpose." Guan Xinpeng whispered.
"Well? Xiao Sier, were you intentionally..." Cao Lan's expression changed.
"Brother, don't guess. Xiahou Junjie and I are not the same as each other." Guan Xinpeng whispered.
"Oh, then I understand a little bit. You are doing it for the legion." Cao Lan smiled and said,
"Well. I don't want him to suspect me, hehe." Guan Xinpeng touched his head. He was not afraid of Cao Lan's complaining about it. In his eyes, Cao Lan was a man who valued affection and friendship. With his impression of him when he was young, Guan Xinpeng believed that he would never betray him for the future.
"Since that's the case, why bother myself here? I think you are proficient in military strategy and strategy. You can return to your Guan family's legion to serve, so why bother here?" Cao Lan sighed.
"Brother Shan, do you think I can get into the Red Tiger Army? And I am also entrusted here." Guan Xinpeng murmured.
"You must be careful in everything, no matter what, don't ruin yourself." Cao Lan nodded and did not ask in detail who Guan Xinpeng was entrusted by. Guan Xinpeng looked at Cao Lan gratefully, knowing that the eldest brother in front of him respected him so much.
"Well, don't worry, brother." Guan Xinpeng replied.
"Xinpeng, don't you think it's strange to come to these rebels today?" Cao Lan asked.
"It's a bit strange. As soon as the Xiahou Legion left, they came, but the accent. I saw that there was nothing wrong with my clothes and expressions, but I felt that the leader seemed to..." Guan Xinpeng hesitated.
"It's too dull! Now that the Western coalition forces are powerful, they dare to rise up and resist the enemy, are they heroes for a while? Although the leading man is handsome, he has no energy and has no power to speak. It is difficult for such a person to form a team." Cao Lan continued.
"That's right, the man in the left hand had a sense of fatigue in his eyes, but he had a sense of energy. Even the man on the right had a bit of temperament. Why didn't you call them here and ask?" Guan Xinpeng nodded and said.
"Well, don't worry, Xinpeng, you can take a few people to their place to make a set of their words later, and then tell them that I will not summon them tonight. See what their reaction will be. Come back and report to me, and I will make a decision." Cao Lan said.
"Here." Guan Xinpeng blinked his big eyes.
After seeing Guan Xinpeng go out, a smile appeared on Cao Lan's face. For the first time in a few days, he felt a trace of happiness from the heart.

"Three, my staff officer Qiao is here to see you." A soldier from Ben Lei opened the door and said to the three people inside the house.
The three were Jing Zhan, Ling Yun and a Han soldiers team leader Wang Mu. Wang Mu was also a veteran who had followed Lei Dongfeng since Longcheng. He was as famous as his name, and his personality was calm and a little dull. Jing Zhan and Ling Yun chose him to pretend to be the leader. They were afraid that they would make mistakes in their words, but the others seemed to be quite official, but they did not expect to be counterproductive, which aroused Cao Lan's suspicion. Of course, Jing Zhan and the others did not know about these things now. The three of them were not talkative people. They were in the tiger's den again. At the moment, they were sitting at the table with a little dull look on their faces.
Ben Lei Jun did not make things difficult for the others. In addition to arranging their subordinates separately, he arranged a pretty neat house for them, but he was not allowed to go out casually. The water and food he brought to them were no longer disturbed.
At this moment, seeing someone looking to see them, Jing Zhan and Ling Yun looked at each other and nodded at Wang Mu. So Wang Mu immediately stood up and greeted Jing Zhan and Ling Yun's walkway door to welcome the people.
"The three have been waiting for a long time. I am Qiao Xinpeng, the staff officer of Benlei Army. You have seen me just now." Guan Xinpeng said with a smile.
"I was very arrogant at the command center just now, but now I was arrogant at first and respectful at the end. If things are abnormal, I must be a demon. Be careful." Ling Yun had such a delicate and clear heart. Although he was young, he knew a lot of human relationships. At this moment, seeing Guan Xinpeng's appearance, he was cautious and secretly pinched Jing Zhan's back.
"Soon, sir, are so polite." Wang Mu, who pretended to be the leader, bowed quickly.
"Several, my elders heard that you are the leaders of the Resistance Army and admire them very much. I wonder what they are doing." Guan Xinpeng still smiled.
"I was a businessman and had no money. Since the Western coalition, I have brought up this team." Wang Mu hurriedly said, all these were discussed in advance.
"Oh, I heard that your name was Li Chang before, but I didn't know the names of these two brothers?" Guan Xinpeng looked at Jing Zhan and Ling Yun with interest, and finally stared at Ling Yun.
"This is my deputy, named Ma Sanbang, and this is also my deputy, named Xu Dacheng." Wang Mu introduced.
"They are all good names, not bad!" Guan Xinpeng said with a smile.
As soon as Guan Xinpeng said this, Ling Yun felt chill. These names were obviously made up by them temporarily, so they could not be called good. What is the Benlei Army Staff named Qiao Xinpeng, which is so disgusting.
However, Ling Yun always felt a hint of worry in his heart, but he couldn't remember something wrong for a moment. The feeling that Qiao Xinpeng in front of her was really dangerous. She was dedicated to her for nothing, either a traitor or a thief.
"Okay, my division team said, please rest well, and I won't summon a few tonight." Guan Xinpeng said.
"This..." Wang Mu looked hesitant.
"Why, are you guys very anxious?" Guan Xinpeng looked at the reactions of the people with a smile. The slightly frivolous tone made Ling Yun want to pounce on him and beat him up.
"It's still the adults who think carefully, we are indeed a little tired." Seeing that Wang Mu was a little stunned, Jing Zhan was helpless and said helplessly.
"Well, then I'll say goodbye first." Guan Xinpeng looked at Jing Zhan, his eyes flashed, and he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Staff Officer Qiao, please wait a moment and speak here." Ling Yun suddenly remembered something and called out.
"What's the matter?" Guan Xinpeng turned around. At this moment, Jing Zhan and the other two stared at Guan Xinpeng in the room. The four of them looked at each other across a table, and his subordinates were all outside the room. They didn't see what was happening here.
"Well, Staff Officer Qiao, have you heard of General Meng Zhan who fought to the end with the Western Allied Forces under Tongguan and died gloriously." Ling Yun asked.
On that day, Jing Zhan and Lin Yun were ordered to attack the Central and Southern Province. Meng Zhan had not yet died in battle. Although he had been in Central and Southern China, the incident of Meng Zhan had been circulated through words and was known to Jing Zhan and others. Jing Zhan and others were also inexplicably sad and admired them even more.
At this moment, seeing Ling Yun suddenly mention Meng Zhan, Jing Zhan was a little unresponsive.
As an officer of the Benlei Army, Guan Xinpeng naturally heard of Meng Zhan. When Ling Yun asked him today, he nodded slightly and said, "Well, although he is not a single army, General Meng Zhan is a model for our soldiers."
"It's a pity that I heard that General Meng Zhan never forgot one until his death, but that man failed him." Ling Yun sighed.
"What do you want to say?" Guan Xinpeng's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he jumped over the table among the four people.
Jing Zhan quickly stepped in front of Ling Yun and said coldly: "Sir, what do you want to do?"
Afterwards, he made a secret gesture to Wang Mu. Wang Mu flashed alertly by the door and blocked Guan Xinpeng's way.
"Haha, nothing, I just think this little brother's words are very interesting." Guan Xinpeng looked at Ling Yun, but Ling Yun stared at him without fear.
"Okay, Lieutenant Guan Xinpeng, oh, now you should be called Captain Qiao Xinpeng, don't act anymore." Ling Yun smiled.
"You are so annoyed!" Within half a day, Guan Xinpeng was called out continuously and was frightened and angry, but he could not make a loud noise.
"Don't worry, I'm Ling Zijin!" Ling Yun took out a square scarf from his arms, wiped his face, and replied to his white face.
"No wonder, you are the adopted son of Dean Liu." Guan Xinpeng breathed a sigh of relief, obviously recognizing Ling Yunlai.
Jing Zhan became more and more confused, staring at Ling Yun and hoping to hear her explanation.
"Mingyang, he is my adoptive father's man." Ling Yun said with a smile.
"Is that right?" Jing Zhan's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little grudge in his heart.
