The night was very quiet, there were crickets chirping outside the window, and the light moonlight fell on the floor of the ward, quiet and comfortable, but the sadness in the heart could not be calmed at all.

Looking at the old Grandpa Xiao, there was an indescribable boredom in his chest.

The light in the ward was not turned on, Grandpa Xiao patted the bed and asked me to sit over, I choked up and sat in front of Grandpa Xiao.

"Chen Yang, I suddenly found one thing, it seems that since the day I brought you to the military headquarters, we haven't had a good conversation... Oh, tonight, I have to talk to you well......" Grandpa Xiao laughed quite happily, he reached out and pulled open the bedside table, and took out a cigarette and a lighter from it.

Watching Grandpa Xiao light a cigarette, I wanted to stop it, but thinking that he only had the last week left, I couldn't help but think in my heart: Since there is only one week left, let Grandpa Xiao enjoy it...... With this thought, I stretched out my hand and said, "Grandpa Xiao, bring me one too." ”

Grandpa Xiao glanced at me, handed me one, and said with a smile: "This cigarette, don't smoke it if you can't smoke it in the future, it will hurt your body." ”

"Hmm......" I nodded, a little choked in my voice.

After smoking a cigarette quietly with Grandpa Xiao for a while, Grandpa Xiao looked at the moonlight outside the window and said with a sigh: "Back then, your grandfather and I also smoked under such a moonlight, and your grandfather was already a company commander at that time." Your grandfather was really powerful back then, and he was exceptionally promoted to company commander not long after he joined the army, at that time, I really don't know how many people I envied...... Scold... At that time, I admired your grandfather a lot, and I was almost your age, and I only thought about one thing at that time, I had to follow your grandfather for the rest of my life, and I would go wherever your grandfather asked me to go...... It's just that I didn't expect that there would be such a fire later. ”

I just listened quietly.

"Your grandfather is brave and talented, and the most important thing is that he is upright, at that time, we were very convinced of your grandfather, especially your grandfather always led us to win battles, the big guy was injured and received a lot of credit, how many other people were thinking of ways to mess with your grandfather...... Oh, that's right, yes, and ah, your grandfather never hid his secrets, he will, he must have taught us everything, why your grandfather's subordinates back then were all important ministers of the founding of China, all because you and your grandfather taught us well during that period. "Recalling the past, Grandpa Xiao always has a happy smile on his face.

With a long sigh, Grandpa Xiao continued: "At that time, our group of brothers, your grandfather, me, Qianqian's grandfather, Ling Aohai, and a few retired and comrades-in-arms who have already taken the first step, there is no intrigue between us, all we think about is how to win the battle and how to defend the country...... Where is it like this...... "Grandpa Xiao finished the cigarette in his hand, squeezed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and said: "That period of time was the happiest time in my life......

"Grandpa Xiao, drink some water." I poured a glass of water for Grandpa Xiao.

Grandpa Xiao nodded slightly, took a sip, and after relieving for a while, he said with emotion: "I didn't expect Lin Zhengxiong and Ling Aohai to do such a conscientious thing for the sake ......of power, I just hate that I didn't have the life to clean them up."

Just this sentence once again gave birth to infinite sentimentality in my heart. Looking at Grandpa Xiao, a word suddenly came to mind, the end of the hero.

Grandpa Xiao suddenly smiled, I looked up at him, and Grandpa Xiao said, "However, Chen Yang, with you, I believe you will be able to stop them!" ”

I'm going to stop them? I looked at Grandpa Xiao in a daze.

"Originally, for you, the biggest enemies were the Qinghong Group, the Eagle Group and Ling Aohai, they killed your brother and made you live a life of exile, and now, Lin Zhengxiong has put on the charge of terrorists on you, if this crime is not removed, then you and your brother can only live abroad for the rest of your life...... Look at how many heinous things these people have done for their own selfish desires and to control power, if these people are allowed to take power, what will become of Huaxia in the future! Grandpa Xiao's eyes were torn, and their older generation of soldiers would always keep "protecting the family and defending the country" in mind.

I was puzzled and asked, "Why don't those people up there answer your call?" Don't they know Lin Zhengxiong's purpose? ”

Grandpa Xiao said, "I know, of course I know." They don't have a legitimate reason to suppress Lin Zhengxiong now! Since there is no legitimate reason, no one wants to fight Lin Zhengxiong, in case the fight loses both, isn't it someone else who benefits? Hmph, those people above are all making their own calculations! ”

"But they've been under house arrest for so long......"

Grandpa Xiao snorted and said, "That can't be considered house arrest, if someone uses this matter to investigate, Lin Zhengxiong and they can be said to be treating me, and the old foxes have already thought of countermeasures...... If I want to really suppress Lin Zhengxiong and them, I have to go to Yanjing in person. ”

"Shang Yanjing? No, Grandpa Xiao, you can't go! I stood up, looked at Grandpa Xiao in horror, and said, "Grandpa Xiao, we rescued you just so that you can preside over the overall situation for us, if you just go to Yanjing like this, Commander Weng, Captain Su and Captain Leng, they will ......"

"If it weren't for the fact that I had one last week left to live, I wouldn't have taken this path. Chen Yang, there is no other way now, all I can do now is to buy you more time before I die, if this time is good, maybe one or two years, maybe three or five years...... I need your word now, to give you all this time to buy, can you pull those of them down? "Grandpa Xiao's eyes are full of expectations for me.

I suddenly felt a big mountain pressing on my shoulders, not that I didn't dare to bear it, but I thought of the cold and heat poison in my body, if I didn't be able to enter the Great Grandmaster realm within two years, then I would also leave this world......

Grandpa Xiao probably thought I was scared, so he said again: "Chen Yang, you must know that destroying them is not only avenging your dead brother, but also washing away the humiliation you suffered in the past and contributing to the future of our Huaxia!" ”

After some hesitation, I didn't say anything about the hot and cold poison after all, Grandpa Xiao is a person who is about to pass away, and I can't let him add more sorrow. I nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, I, Chen Yang, will definitely pull them all off the horse, and I won't let them go!" ”

"Good!" Grandpa Xiao's "good" is extremely atmospheric. He said: "In the past few days, I have asked the big head to deal with a lot of things, and the most important thing is to take two years to get my son into my current position. "I was a little surprised, because I had never heard Grandpa Siu talk about his children.

"You haven't met my son yet, but he saw you when you first came to the military headquarters. Now he is serving as a military commander in the northwest frontier, and two years is enough time for him to be promoted to my position. However, even if my son sits in my position, he is still far from being able to match Lin Zhengxiong and the other four major forces, and if he does not pull Lin Zhengxiong and them down as soon as possible after sitting in my position, at that time, all the foundations of my military department will be disintegrated! So, Chen Yang, in two years, you need to break out of the sky, and this piece of heaven will be much bigger than when you were on the southwest border......" Grandpa Xiao looked at me earnestly.

I said helplessly: "Grandpa Xiao, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't have such a chance at all now, Lin Zhengxiong and they are crazy now and they generally want to hunt me down, I don't even have time to breathe, I don't have a chance to make a comeback." ”

Grandpa Xiao said: "No longer at home, go abroad!" ”

"Going abroad?" I never thought about this problem, indeed, the country is dominated by Lin Zhengxiong, and they can't control it in the country, I looked at Grandpa Xiao with wide eyes, could it be that Grandpa Xiao has arranged this road for me?

I asked, "Grandpa Xiao, could it be that you have already arranged everything for me?" ”

Grandpa Xiao immediately shook his head and said, "I can't help you arrange everything, someone promised me to take you abroad, and I will be waiting for you in Yanjing in three days." ”

"Someone? Who is it? "I was curious.

Grandpa Xiao was about to speak, but suddenly changed his words and said, "You'll know when the time comes...... There is one more thing, you and your brother's family don't have to worry, Datou has already settled them as soon as possible, and now they are in a very safe place, I dare not guarantee that they will never be found, but within three or five years, Lin Zhengxiong and they will not be able to find it. ”

Even my brother's family has been settled, and sure enough, Grandpa Xiao is trying to pave the way for me before he dies. Thinking of what Grandpa Xiao did for me, my nose became sour again.

"Okay, it's a little late, let's go back and rest first, and in two days, go to Yanjing with me." Grandpa Xiao smiled faintly.

"Hmm......" I nodded, I had a thousand words in my heart, but I didn't know where to start.

Waiting for Grandpa Xiao to lie down, I quietly exited the ward, closed the door of the ward, and saw that the big head was not far away, and the big head's eyes were red, probably because I heard the conversation between me and Grandpa Xiao. The big head is smoking, and he smokes fiercely. I walked over to him and walked out of the room with him, and the two of us sat downstairs on the steps in front of the door.

After a short while, the big head said slowly: "Commander Xiao is the person I respect the most in this life, I am a child abandoned by my parents, and my grandfather died of illness after joining the army...... Originally, I was going to be retired by the army, but it was Commander Xiao who left me by his side, and I followed him for twenty years...... In my heart, he is my father, and I used to think about honoring and protecting him for the rest of my life, but now I ......"

For the first time, I saw the big head crying.

It was a sad night, and I never felt so sad.

In the next two days, I didn't tell my companions the news that Grandpa Xiao only had less than a week left, turning grief and anger into strength, I practiced more and more desperately, Lei Ming has been sparring, and now in the military department, except for Lei Ming, no one can teach me anything.

The crazy hard practice made Lin Qianqian a little worried, she came to talk to me when I was resting, and asked me why I suddenly practiced so hard, I didn't want too many people to worry, I didn't mention the matter of hot and cold, just said calmly: "If you are idle, you can practice more." ”

"Then you should also pay attention to rest, don't exhaust your body." Lin Qianqian looked at me with concern.

"Well, I will."

My hard training also drove Li Ziang, Da Zhu, Chu Cheng, and He Xin, all of whom were bent on improving their combat effectiveness.

Two days were fleeting, on the eve of going to Yanjing, I went to Grandpa Xiao's ward with Datou, Grandpa Xiao asked me to take a few brothers abroad, since I was going abroad to work hard, single, it would definitely not work. I hesitated for a moment and said, "Except for Qianqian and Yuwei, I will take the rest out." "I don't know what the situation abroad is, although Lin Qianqian and Leng Yuwei are both very strong, they are also girls no matter how they say, I can't take them out too quickly.

"Okay, then you can inform them later, and go to Yanjing with me, and when you arrive in Yanjing, someone will arrange it." Grandpa Xiao was still reluctant to reveal to me the identity of the person who was going to help us go abroad.

After instructing me, Grandpa Xiao looked at Datou and said, "Datou, you won't go to Yanjing with me tomorrow, stay here in the military headquarters." ”

The big head immediately became frightened, he said in a panic: "Commander Xiao, you let me go together, I promise to obey the order, promise not to do anything else, I ......" The big head will be so excited, and it is understandable, looking at Grandpa Xiao's expression of "seeing death as home", tomorrow in Yanjing, there will be no good thing, that is to say, this is likely to be the last time the big head has seen Commander Xiao.

I also persuaded and said, "Grandpa Xiao, let the big head accompany you ......"

"No!" Grandpa Xiao raised his hand to interrupt me, he looked at Datou and said, "Datou, I know your thoughts, but if you leave, there will be no one here to preside over the overall situation, and my son will have two more days to come over, you must stand this shift!" Although the big head is only Grandpa Xiao's personal guard, because he has been in the military department all these years, many of Grandpa Xiao's orders have been conveyed by him, so everyone treats him as the second-in-command.

"Okay, I got it!" The big head clenched his fists, and his eyes slowly turned red.

Out of Grandpa Xiao's ward, I immediately exchanged a message to the accommodation department, I summoned my brothers to my room, and briefly talked to them about going to Yanjing tomorrow and going abroad together.

As soon as the news came out, the brothers were immediately stunned. He Xin and Li Ziang reacted first, felt that the situation was wrong, and asked me why I suddenly went abroad.

"Because Commander Xiao doesn't have much time left." At this point, I can only tell them the truth.

The brothers were all dumbfounded, and they said a word, and just looked at me.

I can understand their feelings, in order to save Grandpa Xiao, we made a big fuss in Yanjing and were accused of being "terrorists", but now, Commander Xiao, who can support the overall situation in their minds, has not much time left.

"What about us? Brother Yang, can we still take revenge? He Xin looked at me worriedly.

Glancing at the brothers, I found that it was not only He Xin, except for Lei Ming, each of them showed panic in their eyes, confused about the future.
