In the capital and other places where people live, there are still lights.
But in suburbs and remote places, it is extremely dark.
Even the moon in the sky cannot dispel this boundless darkness.
The night wind howled, filling the sky with murder.
Three low-profile vehicles were speeding past on a remote road without stopping.
Lu Yu sat in the back seat, looking at the darkness outside the window.
There seemed to be countless ferocious beasts hidden in the darkness, waiting for opportunities to move.
As long as Lu Yu and others show any signs of slackness, they will burst out in an instant and swoop in.
Therefore, Lu Yu's nerves tensed up subconsciously.
The speed of the car became faster and faster, and soon it reached the exit of Beijing.
With Mr. Chen’s special pass, naturally no one dared to stop him and the journey was smooth.
"How long does it take to get to Southern Xinjiang?"
Lu Yu slowly turned his head and looked at the soldier driving in front.
"Lu Wei, it's about three thousand kilometers from the capital to southern Xinjiang."
"If we go at full speed, we should be able to arrive within thirty hours."
The soldier driving the car nodded quickly and replied in a respectful tone.
"No...it's too long."
Lu Yu frowned slightly and thought about it in his heart.
According to Mr. Chen's plan, in order to deceive others, he planned to let these soldiers escort Lu Yu and the others all the way to southern Xinjiang.
However, Lu Yu had never been overseas before, so he never thought that the distance was so far away.
He didn't want to waste time on the road.
"Turn around..."
When Lu Yu said this, he quickly paused.
I definitely can’t go back to the capital.
When you draw your bow, you don’t have an arrow to turn back; when you go out in battle and don’t win, you don’t turn back.
This kind of thing is unlucky.
Moreover, Mr. Chen has made it clear that he must hide his identity from others, so Lu Yu cannot go back.
"Go to the nearest airport outside the capital, and we'll take a plane there."
Lu Yu thought for a moment and then made arrangements directly.
Naturally, Long Haoxuan and Liu Yingze in the car had no objections, and everything was subject to Lu Yu's decision.
But the soldier driving the car was hesitant.
After all, escorting Lu Yu and the others was an order given by Mr. Chen.
If Lu Yu changed his mind midway, it would be hard to explain if something went wrong...
"Liu Wei, we'd better escort you there."
"Thirty hours is quick. The dry food and water we brought are enough."
The soldier who was driving hesitated for a few seconds, but Lu Yu gently refused.
Lu Yu frowned slightly and said, "You are afraid that we will run away, right?"
"Liu Wei, this is not what I mean." The soldier driving the car quickly explained.
Lu Yu sighed softly and looked at Long Haoxuan, his eyes full of helplessness.
Perhaps, they were really afraid that Lu Yu and the others would escape.
After all, deserters are not uncommon on the battlefield.
"Liu Wei, otherwise, I'll call Mr. Chen for instructions..."
The driver hesitated for a moment, then asked proactively.
"No need! Let's drive."
Lu Yu waved his hands slightly and leaned on the back of the seat to rest.
However, at this moment, the car suddenly slowed down.
"First car, what's going on?"
The driver immediately became alert, picked up the walkie-talkie and asked.
"Stay alert and slow down."
"Radar monitoring shows that there are unknown vehicles gathering within three hundred meters ahead."
A steady voice came from the intercom.
"Change route?"
The soldier driving the car asked immediately.
"No, let's check the situation first and protect Lieutenant Lu's safety."
A voice came from the intercom again.
"receive!"
"receive!"
The two soldiers responsible for driving slowly stepped on the brakes and reduced the speed of the vehicle.
The car in front accelerated again, widened the distance and rushed towards the front.
"Swish!"
At this moment, several lights suddenly lit up in the distance.
Each one was extremely dazzling, causing the driver of the first car on Lu Yu's side to squint slightly.
A young man in the co-pilot immediately put on special goggles and looked forward.
"It's the people in the army who are temporarily lifted from combat readiness."
The young man slowly put down the submachine gun in his hand, picked up the walkie-talkie and said.
Seeing someone waving slowly in front of him, the soldier hesitated for a moment, then slowly reduced his speed and stopped on the side of the road.
"Ding-deng-deng!"
Immediately afterwards, no less than a hundred soldiers in black walked over in unison, holding thermal weapons, and directly surrounded the car.
"Which company?"
The soldier who was driving immediately revealed his rank and asked in a deep voice.
"Where is my son-in-law? I want to talk to him."
Before these soldiers could reply, a middle-aged man stepped out.
The moment they saw this middle-aged man, several soldiers in the car were shocked, and then quickly got out of the car.
"General Ye!"
The five soldiers in the car all stood upright and saluted the middle-aged man.
This person is none other than Ye Tianlong.
"Where is my son-in-law?"
Ye Tianlong waved his hand slightly and asked with a frown.
"Go back to General Ye, Lieutenant Lu is behind you now and will be here soon."
A soldier quickly saluted and reported without daring to show any signs of neglect.
"Hey, the boy has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant now? Not bad, not bad."
Ye Tianlong chuckled, his face very satisfied.
Zhong Liangping was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but blush.
Although he is at the school level now, he has been in the army for many years before he achieved his current achievements.
And Lu Yuyijie, a young man in his twenties, was directly promoted to the rank of lieutenant in just a few days, which really made Zhong Liangping a little ashamed.
I am afraid that Lu Yu will advance rapidly in the future, and it will be easy for him to surpass Zhong Liangping by then.
"Buzz buzz!"
The two cars behind also sped up and rushed over.
"dad."
Lu Yu immediately opened the door and got out of the car, came to Ye Tianlong and shouted.
"According to the rules in the army, you must salute when you see me."
Ye Tianlong sighed and said with a deliberately accent.
Lu Yu shook his head slightly. He didn't like being bound by these things, so he kept it simple.
"Let's go and talk over there."
As Ye Tianlong said this, he took out the special cigarettes and invited Lu Yu to come aside.
Lu Yu nodded lightly, but did not refuse and followed him.
He didn't expect that Ye Tianlong would be waiting for him here.
But when I think about it, it's not that unusual.
Although Ye Tianlong is not at Mr. Chen's place, it is not difficult to know when Lu Yu will set off.
Lu Yu and Ye Tianlong walked away, while the others stood there and waited.
Even Zhong Liangping stood there honestly.
"Have you really decided?"
Ye Tianlong and Lu Yu walked twenty meters before slowly stopping.
"It's decided."
Lu Yu nodded, took a puff of cigarette and said.
"Okay! Is there anything you need me to arrange for you?"
Ye Tianlong nodded and asked proactively.
"Mr. Chen has arranged everything that should be arranged for me."
"This time we go to war, we can't have any contact with the mainland, so there are actually no arrangements."
