Chapter 305, 21 kilometers of mountain road
Qing Zhen and Luo Lan originally controlled only two brigades in the army, and Luo Lan’s troops are still hiding somewhere nowadays, so that Qing won’t find them to be collected.
So out of so many troops in the entire frontline, Qing Zhen’s real direct line isn’t as many as one would think, part of the army supports Qing Zhen, part supports Qing Yun, and more are neutral, only responsible for following orders and fighting.
This is also the reason why Qing Zhen is bent on crowding out Qing Yun’s direct line, and if he doesn’t get rid of these people with different intentions, then there is a chance that his orders will be disobeyed.
But even if Qing Zhen completed the purge, the orders of Qing’s Presidium were still something he could not disobey, that was the true core of Qing.
If Qing Zhen was given more time, he might be able to transform the entire frontline troops into his own, but the Qing Presidium would inevitably not give him that time.
It had to be said that Qing’s Presidium had grasped the time just right, and at this point, another change of commanders at the front would no longer have any effect, and Qing Zhen had played his last role.
The one who came to escort Qing Zhen this time was still Secretary Zhou, who stood at the entrance of the camp as Qing Zhen looked back at the snowy mountains behind him.
Some of the soldiers wanted to start a mutiny to save Qing Zhen, but were stopped by Qing Zhen with a smile, “Don’t be impulsive, you still have your families in the barriers.”
This was the reason why the Presidium still had control over the army, if the entire barracks were to act presumptuously at this time, then they were afraid that their families would die a horrible death that night.
Therefore, from the time Qing Zhen killed Qing Yun until now, the Presidium had always been emboldened.
In their opinion, Qing Zhen does not have the charisma to make these soldiers abandon their families, and even if he did, Qing Zhen himself would not do that.
Even if they did, Qing Zhen himself wouldn’t do it. It seemed that the Bureau had already taken Qing Zhen to death.
“Sir,” said an officer, “We’ll go back with you.”
Qing Zhen was happy, “What are you talking about, follow Officer Qing Yi and fight the war properly, still the same, don’t disgrace me.”
At this moment, the frontline army had all been taken over by a general called Qing Yi, this Qing Yi was also a core member of the Qing Clan, only that he was in the training period before, the Qing Clan didn’t really let him go to war.
“Then what about Officer Luo Lan’s side, he’s still in Yang,” the officer said, “Last night ……”
Qing Zhen waved his hand, “I’m prepared, don’t worry.”
After saying that, Qing Zhen followed Secretary Zhou to the car, Secretary Zhou ordered someone to put Qing Zhen in handcuffs, Qing Zhen laughed, “Is there so much fear of me? I’m not a Transcendent, I won’t do anything to you.”
Secretary Zhou sneered and didn’t say anything, this time he was responsible for escorting Qing Zhen all with the army.
If it wasn’t for the Presidium giving this order for him to come, to be honest Secretary Zhou wouldn’t even be willing to come over to face Qing Zhen, the last time Qing Zhen killed someone without warning at the command headquarters, it seemed to have left a lot of shadows on him.
Secretary Zhou sat in the car and calmly said, “Qing Zhen, should I praise you for being smart or call you stupid?”
Qing Zhen smiled, “How so?”
The driver in charge of the car didn’t dare to let out a single fart, his eyes staring dead ahead of the vehicle.
Secretary Zhou said, “Say you’re smart you’re really smart, the battles that Qing Yun couldn’t fight well, as soon as you came to the front, you united with Yang to bring down Li. Even I admire you, you really are a talent.”
Qing Zhen face smiled, “I’m flattered, I’m flattered.”
“Saying you’re stupid you’re also really stupid, if you let Li not go to fight so that the Presidium won’t move you so quickly, so you only know military and don’t know politics ah.”
Qing Zhen laughed, “Then according to Secretary Zhou’s meaning is that I should keep Li and then embrace the military on this frontline?”
Secretary Zhou glanced at the driver, “I didn’t say that.”
“Look at you goat, dare to say not dare to admit,” Qing Zhen said, “I don’t fight Li, Li will come to fight me just the same, when the time comes to dilly-dally and take the soldiers’ lives to go along with the playacting, I, Qing Zhen, can’t do it.”
On the battlefield, acting is also to use life to act.
And what Qing Zhen wanted to do was to use the smallest casualties to fight the most beautiful battle, and then let the soldiers who survived go home.
Secretary Zhou was puzzled, “Didn’t you think about yourself?”
“Consider what?” Qing Zhen laughed, “Isn’t it just to keep going back to house arrest.”
“You think you can still be under house arrest after killing Qing Yun? This time …… there is no house arrest so simple,” Secretary Zhou sneered.
“So that’s how it is,” Qing Zhen sighed.
……
The vehicles escorting Qing Zhen sped all the way to the northeast, with a large number of soldiers escorting both the front and back of the SUVs, which showed the importance that the Qing Presidency placed on Qing Zhen, who was worried about any accidents that might occur during his escort.
When the convoy drove into 111 Barrier two days later, Qing Zhen rolled down the window with his handcuffed hands, “What a familiar smell, home.”
There was some fatigue in Secretary Zhou’s eyes, he was a bit unable to carry on as a civilian who had been riding in the car for two days straight and barely closed his eyes.
But on the contrary, Qing Zhen seemed to still be in high spirits, not even like a prisoner who was coming back to stand trial.
Secretary Zhou yawned and said, “You still have the heart to enjoy this.”
“Wait, how come the theater is closed,” Qing Zhen asked suddenly.
As the vehicle passed by a few theaters, Qing Zhen was surprised to find that all of those theaters had been closed, without exception.
Secretary Zhou looked out the window and said, “These are the few gardens you usually like to go to, and they didn’t know exactly which girl in which garden you liked, so they arrested all of them.”
In the past, when Qing Zhen went to the theater gardens, he never had a fixed place to go, and he never revealed which girl he liked, so he was originally worried that he would implicate the other side.
Only Qing Zhen did not expect Qing to do so absolutely.
Qing Zhen looked out the window and fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
Secretary Zhou asked, “Why don’t you say anything?”
Qing Zhen suddenly said, “The flowers I keep at home should have died, and I don’t know if the vegetables planted in the backyard are taken care of.”
Secretary Zhou gasped and laughed, “You still have the heart to talk about this?”
“What to say if not this?” Qing Zhen said calmly, “If this was a peaceful world, I should have become a flower farmer, military and politics are not as interesting as growing flowers.”
“Unfortunately, this is not a peaceful world,” Secretary Zhou said calmly.
Just then, the vehicle stopped.
Qing’s headquarters was halfway up the mountain, and this vehicle was parked at the intersection of the mountainous highway.
Secretary Zhou got out of the car and said, “The Bureau has orders for you to walk up the mountain.”
Qing Zhen looked at him, “This mountain road is 21 kilometers long.”
“That’s right,” Secretary Zhou said as he held up his glasses, “The Presidium told you to figure out on this mountain road who gave you everything you have today, take off your shoes and walk barefoot.”
There were soldiers on both sides of the mountain road on alert, and they could no longer bear to look at Qing Zhen when they heard this.
I’m afraid that many people didn’t expect that this Qing Clan Jing Hu would end up in such a situation now.
