No one expected that the person the old man pointed to was actually Lu Xianping. This attracted everyone's attention, and everyone knew that it was Lu Xianping who was the first to lead people to the yard where the old man was, and now this one has just received the reward.
The old man actually asked Gao Hongming to make the decision to betroth his granddaughter to him, which makes people suspicious of something fishy.
Looking at Lu Xianping who was standing aside at a loss, Gao Hongming slowly frowned. Dabao behind him even grasped the handle of the pistol at his waist and stared at Lu Xianping with a pair of bear eyes.
Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, even though Lu Xianping had been on the battlefield for more than two years, he was so frightened that a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Then he only heard Gao Hongming's cold voice: "Old man, tell me the truth, has anyone ever threatened you and forced you to betroth your granddaughter to him?
Don’t worry, no one here can threaten you, just tell the truth, Commander Liu, Political Commissar Ping and I will make the decision for you!”
While Gao Hongming was speaking, several soldiers from the guard camp walked up to Lu Xianping seemingly casually. If anything went wrong, they would immediately take action to subdue him.
Poor Lu Xianping was stared at eagerly by so many guardsmen. He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to move his fingers. His little face was white and white.
Fortunately, the old man didn't mean to harm him. He only heard the old man explain quickly: "Sir, you misunderstood. No one threatened the old man. It was just that the old man was thinking about it. The old man was also buried up to his neck in loess. He always thought about it before leaving.
Find a good family for your granddaughter so that she can have someone to rely on in the future.
Today, the old man had the courage to do such a groundbreaking thing. Just after he finished, this military commander arrived. It seems that this military commander and the old man are very close. But the old man and this military commander are not familiar with each other. Today
I will take this opportunity to boldly ask the superior to make the decision and betroth Yingzi to this military master, and I hope the superior will grant it!"
"Um?"
Hearing this, Gao Hongming couldn't help but look at the pale second lieutenant next to him.
After taking such a careful look, you can't even say that he discovered something unusual.
As a Shandong man, Lu Xianping was tall and tall, with good looks. It would be no exaggeration to say that he had thick eyebrows and big eyes. In addition, he was also a second lieutenant officer, so it seemed reasonable that the old man would like him.
Thinking of this, Gao Hongming's expression softened, he withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, and said to Lu Xianping: "I remember you... you originally escaped from Shandong, and you also have a nickname called Little Shandong... right?
"
Seeing that Gao Hongming actually remembered him, Lu Xianping was so excited that he almost shed tears. He nodded repeatedly: "Yes... sir, you actually remember me?"
"Of course I remember you."
Gao Hongming laughed.
"You used to be a soldier in the Second Battalion, and you were a famous sharpshooter. I still remember that I gave you a Mauser sniper rifle... Why did you suddenly go to the Ninth Battalion and become a platoon leader?"
Seeing that Gao Hongming still remembered him, Lu Xianping's originally frightened heart gradually calmed down, and he scratched his head in embarrassment: "Isn't that when my original company commander was transferred to the ninth battalion as battalion commander? The company commander can respect it.
I applied to the chief of staff to transfer me, and by the way, I was promoted to platoon leader."
"I remember this."
Chi Yaohui, the chief of staff on the side, also remembered.
"Team leader, this happened half a year ago. When the 6789th Battalion was just established, Lei Xiangdong was appointed as the commander of the 9th Battalion. All the units were in urgent need of officers. The first thing he did after taking office was to fight with me.
It was reported that Lu Xianping would be transferred to the Ninth Battalion as a platoon leader.
He said in the report that this guy is a good fighter, so I thought it was no big deal and approved it."
"So that's it." With Chi Yaohui endorsing him, Gao Hongming felt completely relieved.
"Little Shandong, little Shandong, I didn't expect that not only did you fight well, but you also had better luck than others. There were so many people in the Ninth Battalion chasing the Japanese, but you and your men picked them up. By the way, this old man could also help
My granddaughter is betrothed to you, no one else is so lucky."
Gao Hongming's words made Lu Xianping blush and lower his head in shame.
"Okay, you're not a big girl, so why are you so shy? Now tell me, this old man wants to betroth his granddaughter to you. What do you mean? If it works, please give me a happy word if it doesn't work. Don't delay.
Got a good girl."
Lu Xianping looked at Gao Hongming, and then at Yingzi who was hiding behind the old man in shame.
Yingzi has pretty features, although her complexion is a bit darker due to working all year round, but her figure is strong and convex, so she is obviously easy to give birth to, so there is nothing to hesitate about.
Seeing Lu Xianping hurriedly nodding in agreement, Gao Hongming, Commander Liu, and Political Commissar Ping looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
After Gao Hongming had someone send the old man and his party away, he said to Commander Liu and Political Commissar Ping, "I'm really sorry that I let you two see the joke."
"Hey...this is no joke."
Political Commissar Ping waved his hand and said seriously: "For the old Orion, it was not a good thing for him to get such a huge sum of money at first sight. Not to mention whether he has the ability to control the money, their grandfather and grandson
If the two of them really left Liantai County with this money, they would definitely not survive more than three days.
Fortunately, the old man was very sober and immediately found someone to be his backer. In this way, he got the money and even his grandson-in-law, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
"Yes." Mr. Liu also agreed: "As the saying goes, people become better with age. This old man lives his life very clearly."
"That's true!"
Gao Hongming strongly agrees with the two views.
In fact, Political Commissar Ping just said it was a good thing. These days of war and chaos, if Sun and Sun really dare to show up with such a huge sum of money, the nearby bandits and ruffians will definitely pounce on them like hungry wolves that smell of blood.
The mature old man also knew this very well, so he immediately found a second lieutenant from the Liantai Militia as his backer. In this way, the money was saved, and he also found a long-term meal ticket for his granddaughter. No wonder Master Liu also
It is said that this old man has matured with age.
However, although this matter is a matter of life and death for the old man, it can only be regarded as a casual chat for Gao Hongming and the others. This is not because they are cold-blooded, but because as commanders, they have to deal with so many things every year.
, and there are many more important things before them now.
Commander Liu took the lead and asked: "Captain Gao, what do you plan to do with Torajiro Iwai?"
Political Commissar Ping also looked at Gao Hongming.
There was nothing they could do about it, because Torajiro Iwai was captured by the Liantai Militia. He was Gao Hongming's prisoner both emotionally and rationally. Even if they had any other ideas, they could only ask questions through insinuations.
