Chapter 172 New Transfer Order

Han Suijing knew very well that Commander Duan, who was a hot-tempered superior of the Kunshi Military Region and was respected by others, held the core resources of Yunnan Province. However, he was still a bachelor at the age of 31. Moreover, he came from the Duan family, the most prominent family in Yunnan Province, but was not good at relationships between men and women.

"Xu Changhe is quite adaptable. When the hygienists assigned by the army were absent, he turned his attention to the wives of soldiers."

"Hmph!" Duan Yanzhi's eyes were somewhat deep, and it was unknown what he was thinking. After a while, he raised his hand to take a cigarette from the cigarette box and lit it. Being interrupted by Han Suijing, he actually forgot to pursue what happened just now. "Anyway, this is the situation here. I'm going to catch him off guard tonight."

He glanced at the figure leaving the office.

Wang Ziru was secretly glad that she hadn't made any fool of herself. When she was leaving the office, she ran into her husband. She ran out of breath and asked hurriedly, "Where have you been?"

Zhai Ximo waved his hand and went into the office without answering his wife. "Report to the commander, I have already run three laps."

Wang Ziru, who was standing outside the door, was stunned. Could it be that this guy was just running laps outside?

Then Commander Duan asked, "Did you run three laps?"

"Yes! Start from the garrison, go to the east sentry post first, then run to the west sentry post, and then come back." Zhai Ximo stood straight in front of the commander, not daring to lie.

Wang Ziru thought to herself how could she marry such a big fool!

Since no one is watching, why don't you just pretend to do it, cut corners, and come back halfway to get the job done?

"Who is supervising?" As expected, Commander Duan did not believe the one-sided words of the soldier in front of him. He looked up, stared at him with burning eyes and asked.

"The team leader supervised the whole process."

Duan Yan was puffing out smoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Next time I catch you chatting in the sickroom, I'll punish you even more severely, get out."

"yes!"

Wang Ziru did not walk far. She stood in the corridor, looked at the man and did not dare to look inside again before running out.

Originally, Zhang Kang also wanted to sneak into the ward to chat with his newlywed wife.

When he saw Zhai Ximo being caught by the commander and punished to run around the town three times, he was so scared that he immediately gave up some of his thoughts.

He watched his wife busying around in the ward, but did not dare to go in and chat with her.

Wang Ziru was about to return to the sick room when she heard Commander Duan and Han Suijing still talking on the phone.

"Humph! Just now, a junior cadre was bored and went to the sick room to flirt with a soldier's wife. I caught him and made him run around the town three times..." Duan Yanzhi answered without any concealment.

But Han Suijing felt inexplicably complicated after hearing this.

He already knew the military strength of Bai Teng Town, and he also knew that the temporary health workers they brought to the battlefield this time were several military wives.

Under the high-voltage line that Duan Yanzhi was walking on, the man who dared to run to the hospital room and flirt with the army’s wife must be no ordinary person!

He was actually a little jealous.

That night, Wang Ziru finally fell asleep. While she was half asleep, she heard the roar of cannons and the deafening sound of fighting, echoing through the quiet night sky of the town.

She was also woken up by the night shift janitor.

"There's a fight outside, Sister Ziru, hurry up," Zhu Yan's face was filled with panic. It was the first time she heard such artillery fire that echoed through the night sky. She rushed into the dormitory and woke up several sleeping women.

Wang Ziru rubbed her eyes, quickly sat up, grabbed the old military uniform and put it on, "Did Adjutant Wang ask us to go to the front line?"

"Adjutant Wang asked all of us to get up! But he didn't tell you to go outside. He said there were soldiers specifically responsible for carrying the bearers."

Several women came out of the dormitory one after another and went to the ward to prepare.

Wang Ziru had never witnessed such a moment before, and she was worried about her man's safety.

I went to the sick room and saw that the patients were also awakened by the sound of gunfire. They were all moving around on their beds with a look of anxiety on their faces.

"Everyone, don't panic! I'll go out and see what's going on." Wang Ziru comforted the patients a little, then walked out quickly. When she walked out of the mansion, she saw flames rising to the sky and deafening cannon fire on the other side of the tall mountain west of the town.

She guessed that the armorers had crossed the border along the mountain road...

The lights were on on the second floors of many shops across the street, and many faces that could not be seen during the day were sticking their heads out of the windows to look around.

That night, the sound of artillery fire lasted all the way until the second half of the night.

It was not until dawn that the smoke-filled sky gradually calmed down.

…

The Dongfeng truck responsible for transporting Peng Zhengyu home also returned to the town at dawn.

Led by the troop's vehicles, they entered Li Village, which was closest to the troop. Most of the villagers in Li Village were at the entrance of the village to welcome the heroes home.

"..."The sound of firecrackers crackled all the way to the gate of Cheng Xueru's yard.

The sound of gongs and drums made people feel panic.

As Peng Zhengyu's only living relative and his wife, Cheng Xueru had already collapsed in tears in the mourning hall.

With the help of several village women, she stood at the front door of her house to greet him. When she saw her soon-to-be-married husband lying motionless on the stretcher, she rushed over and cried heartbreakingly, "Zhengyu, wake up..."

Zhai Qingsong held Bao'er's hand and stood at the door of the mourning hall, looking confused, not knowing what to do next.

He watched in a daze as everyone carried the person into the main hall, where a village wizard performed a simple ceremony and then buried the body in a pitch-black coffin.

"Uncle, I'm scared..." Baoer had rarely seen such scenes. Seeing the wizard walking around with something like a hastily made flag, he was so scared that he hugged Zhai Qingsong's legs tightly.

"Don't be afraid!" Zhai Qingsong picked up the little guy and saw Cheng Xueru crying while carrying the coffin. She was crying heartbrokenly under the persuasion of the village women. He felt very sad and really wanted to help her.

Baoer lay on his uncle's shoulder and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, will my father die?"

"I don't want him to die! Wow~~wahwahwa~~"

"What are you talking about? Your father won't do that. He and your mother will be back to the army soon." Zhai Qingsong wiped the tears from the little guy's face with his sleeve and comforted him in a gentle voice.

At this moment, Zhuang Jiahan, who had never seen such a scene before, was very panicked. If his brother also had such a day, the sky would probably fall for their Zhai family.

My younger brother’s wife had just married into the Zhai family when my third younger brother joined the army and was away for five years before returning home.

The couple had not been together for long when they went to the battlefield together.

The more Zhai Qingsong thought about it, the more fear he fell into.

Fortunately, the villagers of Li Village were very kind. When they heard that he was a soldier's family member, they were very friendly to them. When several fellow villagers heard that Zhai Qingsong's left arm was injured and he would be unable to exert weight for a short time, they all told him to come to the village to pick any vegetables he needed.

"Why is this kid crying so fiercely? Come here, let grandma hug you." An old lady saw Baoer lying on the uncle's shoulder, looking frightened. She quickly lifted her apron, walked over, took the little guy from Zhai Qingsong's arms, rubbed his chest and kissed him, "Don't be afraid, he is a great hero, he is protecting us..."

The old man choked up.

Zhai Qingsong then explained: "The child thought his father would not come back either."

"Nonsense! They will be back soon. Didn't you say that mom and dad would send you to kindergarten in town when they come back?" The old woman smiled kindly and drew cakes for the little boy without leaving any trace.

Somehow, Zhai Qingsong felt a deep maternal love from this old woman.

Unlike his mother, who would scold the people in the family for no reason.

In Baiteng Town, the smoke of war has not yet completely dissipated.

Late afternoon.

Commander Duan received the request for peace talks from the border leader.

At the same time, the four towns of Heshuo were filled with smoke for most of the night before, and the request for peace talks was received almost at the same time.

"You bastard! You caused me to lose several powerful soldiers, and now you want to negotiate peace?" Duan Yanzhi put his hands on Jianshuo's waist. Although he received the peace agreement, he was not excited at all. Instead, he ran around the office and sweared.

The news of the peace talks quickly spread throughout the town.

The soldiers were all very happy, as this meant that there was little chance of further conflict between the two sides, and some of their troops would gradually withdraw from Baiteng Town.

Only permanent troops were kept in the town.

The sick room admitted a new batch of injured patients.

Wang Ziru worked for most of the day and finally bandaged all the injured.

He ordered Li Juan and Lin Xiaowan to boil all the Chinese medicine that was brought back last night for treating throats, and then asked a few young warriors to send it to the neighboring houses and distribute it to everyone.

"Yan'er! Yan'er! Good news!" Zhang Kang slipped into the ward during the chaos.

Zhu Yan and Xu Qingxing were helping the patient to relieve himself. When they saw Zhang Kang coming, they hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"In just these two days, we may be able to return to the army." Zhang Kang's face was full of excitement.

"There hasn't been an official announcement yet, what are you in such a hurry for?" Zhu Yan smiled awkwardly and hesitantly said, "You, you, you, get out quickly, don't let the commander see you."

Zhang Kang laughed, "Let me tell you a little gossip..."

The next moment, under Xu Qingxing's curious gaze, Zhang Kang covered his mouth with his hand and whispered a few words into Zhu Yan's ear.

"Are you telling the truth?" Zhu Yan's eyes widened.

"It can't be wrong!" Zhang Kang patted his newlywed wife's shoulder with a smile. He had been looking forward to returning to the army.

Xu Qingxing knew that they had just gotten married, and that Zhu Yan was not originally going to follow the troops this time, but she followed them to the battlefield because the troops were in urgent need of health workers.

Zhang Kang was in a very good mood. After talking to Zhu Yan for a while, he ran out quickly, fearing that Commander Duan would see him chatting again.

During dinner that day, Li Juan and Lin Xiaowan followed a few young warriors to distribute Chinese medicine to everyone. At that time, they heard that Commander Duan had already discussed the preliminary conditions for the peace talks with the four towns of Heshuo by phone.

"In a few days, people from over there may come here to negotiate peace," said Li Juan.

Huang Chunmei had been on duty in the sickroom. When she saw Li Juan and Lin Xiaowan coming back, she hurriedly asked, "When will you come for the negotiation?"

"I don't know yet, but this time that bastard Xu Changhe is definitely finished." Li Juan said smugly.

"You mean, the officer named Peng who was transferred here this time will go directly to our army and replace Xu Changhe?"

Lin Xiaowan pouted and looked at Huang Chunmei, "Old Xu made such a big mistake, he will definitely be punished! You don't know, once he is punished by the higher-ups, that position will definitely be replaced by a new leader."

"Oh! It's so annoying. Will the higher-ups send in another chief who likes to stir up trouble? Although we all dislike Liao Fengjiao, if we get another one who's even more disgusting than that woman, will we be able to live peacefully in the compound in the future?"

Wang Ziru glanced at Li Juan who said this. She vaguely discovered that although these women were not good people, they all wished that something bad would happen to Xu Changhe, and they all seemed to dislike Xu Changhe's women.

However, her mind was full of thoughts about returning to the army, but she knew that even if she negotiated, it would not be so fast.

Whether the two sides can reach a consensus, given Commander Duan's temper, he will definitely not let those grandsons get away with it this time.

At this time, it was Lin Xiaowan's turn to be on duty.

Sitting on the stool next to Wang Ziru, Lin Xiaowan asked, "Among us military wives, your husband is the most senior official. Why don't you go and ask if Commander Duan intends to transfer Peng Xingkuan to our Xiongqu troops this time?"

Wang Ziru glanced at the round face beside her and said, "We live in a compound. As for who will lead the army, it has nothing to do with us, the wives of soldiers."

"No, don't think it's that simple. If the new chief transferred here is an old man, he will definitely have a family. The chief's women are usually very troublesome. You will know it later."

Just when Lin Xiaowan couldn't help but feel anxious about her future life in the compound, Zhai Ximo's thin figure suddenly appeared outside the patient's door.

"Your man is here."

Lin Xiaowan nudged Wang Ziru with her elbow to remind her. Seeing Zhai Ximo's gloomy face, she said, "Your man looks very unhappy. Has he been punished by Commander Duan again?"

"Nonsense!" Wang Ziru stood up, put down the half-opened medical record in her hand, walked out of the ward and asked, "Looking for me?"

"Well," the man said in a low voice. After a long silence, he forced a smile and said, "I just finished a meeting too. Commander Duan has officially dismissed Xu Changhe from his position as commander and transferred him to Kun District. His replacement has also been decided."

"As expected of a commander, you're so quick." Wang Ziru was still praising Commander Duan for his lightning-fast efficiency, then asked with a smile, "Lin Xiaowan and the others are all very curious about what kind of leader will be reassigned. Will it be Peng Xingkuan?"

"It's not him," Zhai Ximo shook his head, his face darkening instantly.
