Seeing Xie Chun's confident look, Xiao Pu couldn't tell whether Xie Chun was confident or blindly arrogant.
But when it came to this point, he knew very well that whatever he said would be superfluous. Besides, it would be a small matter if he was chatted to death, but it would be a big problem if he fell out.
Xiao Pu has no doubt that if he falls out with Xie Chun, Xie Chun will make it impossible for him to leave this planting base in minutes. It’s not that Xiao Pu doesn’t have such psychological preparation in this world, but now he can’t fall out with Xie Chun. He still
I want to leave alive and return to Star City alive to reunite with my relatives.
Xingcheng has his parents and his girlfriend. Although Xiao Pu is not sure whether they are still alive, who will give up hope before the moment of suspense is revealed?
It is precisely because of this belief that he has persisted until now and danced with a group of demons. He is also worried that if he continues like this, sooner or later his hands will be stained with blood and human life, and he will be dragged by these demons.
Go into the abyss and sink together.
However, Xiao Pu is still curious about where Mr. Xie's confidence comes from.
Normally, Mr. Xie is not the kind of person who talks freely. Since he dares to make such bold statements, he must have someone to rely on.
Just because there are so many people?
If we talk about fighting with a large number of people, can these few hundred people fight against the officials and the military? Although they only have one helicopter entering the mountain now, is there any guarantee that there will be ground troops later?
Besides, there has been no news from the military. Could it be that the military will disappear out of thin air? Once the military gets the news, there is no reason to stand still.
They lack communication with the outside world and have no communication facilities. This does not mean that there is no communication method between the official and the military.
The end of the world is always under control for those reckless people, but for the officials and the military, is this a problem?
Deep down, Xiao Pu didn't want Xie Chun to win.
Just like Xiao Pu doesn't want to be cut off from the road of return. He doesn't want to have a deadly feud with the authorities and cut off the road to return.
But he vaguely discovered that Mr. Xie was speaking grandly, but in fact he had no intention of getting closer to the official. Those who said he would consider negotiating with the official after he became stronger, thinking about it afterwards, it seemed more like perfunctory.
Xiao Pu walked out of the room hesitantly. Feeling depressed, he wanted to walk around.
Before, his status was relatively high, and no matter where he went, almost no one would interfere with him. But today, he was stopped before he even reached the gate of the manor.
This group of people are Dao Ye's subordinates and belong to the Blade Camp.
"Master Pu, Master Dao just issued an order. All entrances and exits of the manor are under martial law. No one is allowed to enter or exit the manor without permission. Even if there are people on a mission, passwords are required to enter and exit."
The person who stopped him spoke politely, but his attitude was firm.
You can't wander around, let alone leave the manor base.
Xiao Pu frowned: "I can't even do it?"
"No, Master Dao said that these are wartime regulations. Even Master Xie and Master Dao must take the lead in abiding by them. No one can be an exception, and no one can be special."
After moving out the No. 1 and No. 2 figures, Xie Chun and Lao Dao, how could Xiao Pu, the strategist, be so special?
Xiao Pu vaguely suspected that this was Master Xie's grounding order for him. But he had no evidence to support this, so he could only shake his head dejectedly, smile bitterly, and walk back.
Now that things have happened, Xiao Pu has vaguely guessed that this must be Mr. Xie's idea. Mr. Xie has made up his mind to start a war and will never allow any unexpected factors to happen.
Although Xiao Pu was a military advisor, he did not produce a convincing certificate of surrender. No matter how much Xie Chun admired him, he would definitely have reservations.
This grounding and not allowing him to leave the manor base is obviously a concrete manifestation of Mr. Xie's lack of complete trust in him.
Xiao Pu was young after all, so he was still a little angry at being treated like this. But after all, he didn't go to Xie Chun directly to argue with him.
He is a brain eater and must always remind himself to keep a cool head.
If you go to Xie Chun to argue with you at this time, he will probably not admit it, but will make the matter even more tense.
Xiao Pu had just returned to his residence when he saw half a head sticking out of the corridor. When he saw Xiao Pu, his eyes lit up and he waved to Xiao Pu.
Seeing his strange behavior, Xiao Pu couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Of course he recognized this guy. He was also one of the dozen key elites under Xie Chun. However, he was not one of the core members. He was leading a new military camp, and he was not the leader of the new military camp.
, just a team deputy in the recruit camp.
If I remember correctly, this person's surname is Tang, a foreigner from Xiangcheng, at least a thousand miles away from Star City. He was also an employee of the planting base before.
"Brother Xiaopu, come and sit in my room." The vice-president of the soup team sent the invitation, "I happen to have some good tea. The others are just rough and don't understand tea. You are a scholar, you must understand, right?"
Xiao Pu didn't have much interest in tea, but when Deputy Tang came to see him, tea was just an excuse. There was obviously another reason.
Driven by Xiao Pu's curiosity, he followed Deputy Tang into the house.
Tea is actually not very good tea, but the point is obviously not tea. Deputy Tang made a pot of tea and set out a few plates of simple snacks such as nuts.
"Haha, there's nothing good about it, don't dislike it." As a team vice-president and one of the dozen elites under Xie Chun, Lao Tang still has some benefits.
Although Xiao Pu would not join these people in killing people, setting fires, and having sex with women, he would not refuse people thousands of miles away, and he could still get along with these people in his daily life.
He picked up a handful of peanuts, peeled them and chewed them leisurely.
He wanted to see what kind of medicine he bought in this old soup gourd.
Lao Tang poured the tea with a smile: "Brother Xiao Pu, you just walked outside the base. Am I right?"
"Yes, Lao Tang, you pay special attention to me?" Xiao Pu joked.
Lao Tang waved his hand: "I didn't pay special attention to you, I happened to see you just now. Don't blame me for being too talkative. What you did just now was very taboo."
"Oh?" Xiao Pu put down the peanuts in his hand with interest and patted the peanut crumbs in his palms, "How do you say this? We usually come in and out, and you didn't tell me that it's taboo to go in and out of the manor?"
"The past is the past, and the present is now. When is it now?" Deputy Team Tang said earnestly.
"When? Is it just because a few people died? We, Mr. Xie, won't be so worried. Lao Tang, don't think too much."
"Haha, Brother Xiaopu doesn't regard me as one of his own. Are you pretending to be stupid?" Lao Tang pretended to be angry.
Xiao Pu said sincerely: "I really haven't figured it out. Brother Tang, do you have any insights or advice? Please don't show off."
"This is not a matter of showing off. This is war time. Since Mr. Xie has declared war, there must be wartime discipline. You are coming in and out. People who know you naturally have nothing to say. But people who don't know you think that
You want to communicate inside and outside."
Xiao Pu frowned: "Brother Tang, do you think this is how you look at me, my brother?"
Deputy Team Tang waved his hand: "Of course I won't look at you like that, but it's scary to be able to stand up to others' words. Your brother Xiao Pu usually cherishes feathers and can't play with everyone. Many people are gossiping behind your back and feel that you are heartbroken.
If you are not here, you are not of the same mind as everyone else."
It's not like Xiao Pu has never heard of these gossips. However, he always goes his own way and doesn't give any unnecessary explanations.
Any explanation in language is in vain unless he can kill, set fire to, and seduce women like everyone else.
But he couldn't do this at all. He knew very well that once he did it for the first time, he would never be able to stop it later and would only fall quickly.
"So Brother Tang thinks, brother, what should I do?"
Deputy Team Tang waved his hand: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and I will not force others. Your brother Xiao Pu is a scholar, so there are some things that you can't handle, and that's normal. Not everyone has to have the same standards. Let's get together.
Whether you can truly unite as one is determined by whether you have killed people or had sex with women together."
Xiao Pu said calmly: "I didn't expect Brother Tang to be so sensible."
"Haha, it's not really sensible. It's just an expression of emotion. In fact, I know better than you that the things we do are not allowed by nature. I also have parents, a wife and children. They are in Xiang
In my hometown in the city, if you meet people like us, think about it..."
Lieutenant Tang came to compare notes, but Xiao Pu was a little confused.
"Brother Xiaopu's family should be in Star City, right?"
Xiao Pu nodded silently, feeling a little uncomfortable, especially when he thought of the actions of Xie Chun and his group. If the survivors of Star City also had such demons, then could the safety of their parents, fiancée, and younger brothers and sisters be guaranteed?
Will he wait for him to rush back to Star City, but what awaits him is a huge piece of bad news?
"Hey, people, many times we can't help ourselves. Sometimes, we have to say something and do something that goes against our will." Captain Tang looked deeply moved.
Xiao Pu calmed down slightly and took a sip of tea to cover up his emotions.
"Brother Tang, you miss your parents and family too, right?"
"I don't think so, you bastard doesn't want to," Deputy Tang said with a wry smile, "But if we really want to be held accountable for the things we did, even killing them ten times would not be enough. If our family members are still alive, we might still be implicated.
So, in the final analysis, I have doubts about how long our route can last."
Having said this, Deputy Tang suddenly said in a solemn tone: "Brother Xiaopu, I will complain about these things in private, and I will forget what I said. You can't say it outside."
Xiao Pu smiled bitterly and said: "Do you think I am the kind of person who talks too much? Besides, as you said, no one regards me as one of their own, so I have to have someone to say what I want to say."
Captain Tang sighed: "Who says it's not the case? The locals have a more private circle. After all, we are still the outer circle, even outsiders."
"Oh? Brother Tang, you are an elite member, why do you still feel like an outsider?"
"Are you still a military advisor? You have a higher position than me and have more say than me. Do you think you are the master of the matter?" Deputy Tang asked angrily.
Xiao Pu said: "You don't know that I am a military advisor. I am just a decoration. I can't mobilize a single soldier. Your deputy Tang can at least command a hundred or ten people."
"Bullshit, the battalion officer didn't say anything. Let's see how many of my teammates can be mobilized." Lieutenant Tang also complained, "Brother Xiaopu, you really didn't see the signs in the previous meeting. Those words of yours can scare everyone."
It’s a serious offence.”
Xiao Pu smiled bitterly and said: "My words are not selfish. They are all for the good of the team and everyone's future. I have really offended the official to death. Is there any good fruit to be gained?"
"But you didn't consider whether everyone would listen or not." Captain Tang chuckled, "Thanks to Mr. Xie Qiangang's arbitrary decision, if you continue to say it, you will make people angry."
Xiao Pu sighed and shook his head: "Forget it, I'm just a counselor. It's my job to give opinions. I took a bite of Master Xie's rice and did what I should do. That's enough. The decision-making belongs to Master Xie and Master Dao.
As long as I have a clear conscience."
Deputy Tang laughed and gave him some more tea, and asked tentatively: "Brother Xiaopu, you must have a lot to say at the meeting, right?"
"Is this important?" Xiao Pu asked with a smile.
"Haha, let's chat in private. I'm curious, are brothers Xiaopu not optimistic about this battle?"
Xiao Pu shook his head: "It's not important. Since we have decided to go to war, it doesn't matter whether I am optimistic about it or not, right?"
Deputy Team Tang said solemnly: "No, I personally still care about Brother Xiaopu's judgment, and I hope Brother Xiaopu can give me some advice. This is also related to the fate of the team in the future, and even the fate of the individual."
"Haha, Brother Tang, with all due respect, your words are a bit loud, aren't you? It's not your turn to worry about the future fate of the team and your current position, right?"
"Then let's talk about personal destiny. I don't believe what you said, brother Xiaopu, is purely for the public good and has no selfish motives. Don't you worry about your personal destiny? No one wants to drown after the boat capsizes, right?"
Xiao Pu said sternly: "My point of view is very clear. There is no need to form a deadly feud with the officials and cut off all escape options."
"Then Brother Xiaopu think there is still room for maneuver after this battle is over?"
"Haha, if we really killed the people in Panshiling, how can we resolve this grudge? Do we still need the official face?" Xiao Pu asked back.
"Oh, that's true. So, in this battle, it doesn't matter whether we win or lose, right?"
Xiao Pu said calmly: "But now that the war has begun, there is no point in talking about it."
Captain Tang smiled bitterly and said: "If the ship really capsizes, have brothers Xiao Pu thought about how to jump off the ship?"
"Brother Tang, have you ever thought about it?" Xiao Pu was very cautious and always answered questions with questions.
"It would be too hypocritical to say that I don't want to. But this ship is really not that easy to jump off. Mr. Xie will never allow us to jump off the ship easily."
"Brother Xiaopu, do you have any good ideas for jumping off the ship?"
Xiao Pu looked at Captain Tang meaningfully: "Brother Tang, where are we now? The ship hasn't capsized yet, and you want to jump off the ship?"
"Can you really wait until it's over? Isn't it too late?"
"Then let's stop the boat from capsizing. If we all work together, we can keep the boat from capsizing." Xiao Pu responded calmly.
Deputy Team Tang smiled coquettishly and looked at Xiao Pu, as if he was trying to discern whether his words were sincere or perfunctory.
