The meeting between Ning Zhe and Shi Congxiao was brief. After the two finalized the matter, he left the guest house and returned the same way.

With the help of Shi Congxiao, their situation finally improved. After a group of people were picked up, they were placed in an independent barracks.

The low temperature in the desert made the hands and feet of everyone who had been dormant for a long time numb. Some people had frostbite, and their arms were swollen as thick as their legs. Everyone entered the barracks and gathered around the brazier to keep warm.

Zhang Fang saw the actions of the soldiers and ordered in a deep voice: "Everyone should stay vigilant and go out in groups to stand guard."

Ning Zhe sat by the brazier and smoked a cigarette. He waved his hands gently and said: "Forget it, let everyone take a rest. This is the territory of the rebels. If Shi Congxiao really wants to do something, we can't stop it."

They, if we are really discovered by the rebels, we can only negotiate with them through the weapons in our hands."

Although Zhang Fang knew Shi Congxiao, he had almost no communication with him. He asked Ning Zhe: "Do you think he is trustworthy?"

Ning Zhe responded without hesitation: "From a personal perspective, I believe him."

At this time, Gao Jun also came to Ning Zhe and said with a smile: "Brother, I didn't realize that your interpersonal skills are not bad. I learned before that the rebels destroyed Jin Qinhuan like that. I thought

There may be a deep hatred between the two of you. I didn’t expect that after you went out, you actually found friends in the rebels and found us a place to live. Do you have any friends in the high clan? Can you help?

May I ask about family affairs?"

Ning Zhe turned his attention to Gao Jun: "I'm curious, if your tongue meets hot coals, will you become a burning person?"

Gao Jun sniffed and said, "Impossible. I tried licking fire before and it burned my tongue. I guess if I licked the hot coals, it would only turn into charcoal."

Ning Zhe responded with a sideways glance: "If you don't want me to stuff charcoal into your mouth, you'd better hide away and don't try to trick me into telling anyone."

"Hey, you people are so boring. I just came here to chat. Do you have such great hostility? You'd better not ask me to do something for a day, otherwise I will hurt you!" Gao Jun turned over.

He rolled his eyes, cursed and walked away.

Hu Yihan waited for Gao Jun to walk away and asked in a low voice: "You just said that we will set off with Shi Congxue's team tomorrow. Have you talked to him about the specific plan?"

"The team that responded to us today will be responsible for their security tomorrow and escort the rebel negotiation delegation into Pei's jurisdiction. The location of the negotiations between the two parties is No. 82, Pei's current capital. According to the agreement between the two parties,

The rebel troops are not allowed to enter No. 82, and those who can enter are Meng Fan's cronies, so if we want to sneak into the city with them, there will definitely be no chance."

Ning Zhe paused for a moment and continued: "After Shi Congxiao enters the city, we will follow the escort troops to station outside the city, and his people will not care about our whereabouts. We will be free by then, and the team will be stationed outside the city tomorrow.

We will be put in a car when we set off early in the morning, and we, the familiar faces, will try not to show our faces at that time, so as not to be recognized by Meng Fan and the people around him."

Hu Yihan is already quite satisfied with this result: "Our biggest problem right now is that we cannot pass the military positions between the two sides. As long as Shi Congxiao can successfully take us away from this place, the next problems will be much easier to solve. In this

This is a hellish place, no matter what happens to us, it will be a fatal danger! If Shi Chongshu hadn't been there, we don't know how long it would have been before we could get out of here."

…

Early the next morning, Ning Zhe and others were awakened by the shrill call of the assembly call. When they walked out of the door, the wind and sand outside had not stopped and were already mixed with snowflakes, indicating the coming of a blizzard.

A junior officer walked up to Ning Zhe and lowered his voice: "Take your people and follow me. Remain silent the whole time and don't say anything."

Ning Zhe nodded and then led his people outside the hospital.

At this time, there were more than 20 military vehicles parked outside, and all the troops were boarding the vehicles in an orderly manner. Ning Zhe and his party also boarded a truck collectively under the leadership of the officer.

As the vehicle started moving, Ning Zhe finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were able to board the vehicle smoothly, which meant that Shi Congxiao had not betrayed them. As for the next thing, they could only rely on luck.

The truck carrying thirty people followed the large army and was directed to divert the troops midway. Three independent convoys appeared in front of them. The military vehicles behind them followed these three convoys and drove to different destinations.

direction.

When Ning Zhe saw this scene, he understood the intentions of the rebels. They were hiding Meng Fan's real convoy, but since Shi Congxiao said hello, it meant that Ning Zhe and the others were following the real convoy, which was heading to Pei

That branch of the family.

When Ning Zhe learned that the rebels and the Pei clan had only deployed more than 30,000 troops on the border, he was still a little confused. He didn't understand why both sides had less than four troops each when they were playing red-eye.

division team.

It wasn't until the convoy entered the front position that Ning Zhe finally figured out the mystery.

Although both sides have not many troops deployed here, they put almost all their firepower here. The tanks on the rebel side are like building blocks, so dense that you can't see the end at a glance, and the density of artillery is even more amazing.

Models of artillery emplacements follow one another.

Now that the defense lines of both sides have been stabilized, the tactics have shifted to focus on military intimidation. Once a firefight occurs, no matter how many infantry the other side brings, this powerful firepower is enough to disintegrate the other side's offensive.

Both sides have strong strength, which is the basis for military confrontation. Now, for their own purposes, neither the Pei family nor the rebels want to continue the war, so they have escalated the confrontation. They have all set up a need to let the other side

A line of defense that can only be broken through at great cost.

The high-level meeting between the rebels and the Pei family was negotiated in advance between the two parties. During the march, everything went smoothly. After entering the Pei family's position, Ning Zhe and the others all got out of the car and got into Pei's car.

Among the trucks prepared by the convoy, these trucks were all covered with tarpaulins to block the rebel soldiers' sight. Sandbags were also used to build walls on both sides of the road where the convoy was traveling to prevent the rebels from seeing clearly their military deployment.

It took seven days to get from the frontline position to Fortress No. 82. When the convoy arrived on the fourth day, snowflakes were already falling outside.
