Chapter 62: Mutiny (Part 1)

  Along the wide and flat path, Luo Xiang and others walked towards the Great Red Gate.

  All along the way was very quiet, with only Luo Xiang and others' steady footsteps!

  At the gate of the big red door and on the wall, two soldiers from the Northeast Army, or the Longmen Special Warfare Brigade, stood with Czech-style rifles in their hands, leaning lazily against the wall, narrowing their eyes to enjoy the moonlight.

  The team was advancing steadily, but Luo Xiang couldn't shake off the feeling that something wasn't quite right, as if there was a slight deviation from logic somewhere.

  He waved his hand to signal the special forces soldiers behind him to stop, disperse and hide in the shadows, then he took Sun Dong quietly forward.

  Without making a sound, the four sentries did not notice that someone had approached them until Luo Xiang and Sun Dong, Lang Peng, and Han Yang had reached their side.

  "Big guy, got a light?"

  A Northeastern soldier took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out and shouted to the sentry on the wall, "I've lost my fire!"

  The Northeastern Army sentry on the wall seemed to be disturbed, turned over with a bad temper and muttered, "No less arguing with Laozi for a nap!"

  "Hey big guy, good brother, my fire has been taken away by the queue, can you lend me some? I'll give you a silver dollar from this month's military pay, how about that?" The Northeastern Army sentry under the wall knew there was a fire on the city wall and didn't want to give it to him, so he begged.

  As soon as he heard that there was money, the sentinel in the watchtower, who was called Big Fellow, came to life. He scrambled up and threw down a box of waterproof matches, his mouth still smiling as he reminded him, "Remember, one silver dollar!"

  "No problem, the squad leader said, it's clear that these people have money on them. When the time comes, we'll use those people as hostages and extort a good sum from them!" The sentry below lit a match with a hiss, smoking while saying, "Just look at their equipment, it makes one jealous. Didn't the squad leader himself get two pistols?"

  Luo Xiang, hiding in the dark, saw the cigarette of the Northeast Army sentry and shot out a cold light from his eyes, because he recognized that it was specially equipped for special forces, which did not exist at all in this era, and the waterproof match was also one of the equipment of the special forces.

  Reconnecting with what the two said in their previous conversation about the hijacked plane and hostages, Luo Xiao can confirm that the special forces team has encountered an accident!

  This can also explain why the special forces team lost contact ten minutes ago?

  Lu Xiang gritted his teeth in anger, he hadn't expected Duan Ying to look so silly but actually do something like this.

  It's really "knowing people by their appearance but not knowing their heart"!

  Knowing that something was up, Luo Xiang and Sun Dong exchanged a look, then made a gesture to disperse and attack separately, taking down several sentries!

  Sun Dong and others took orders, quietly and soundlessly approached the front, getting closer and closer to the two sentries at the entrance of the big red gate!

  Taking advantage of the two sentries lowering their heads to smoke, Sun Dong and Han Yang suddenly darted out, one palm chopping down on the back of the two men's necks, the two men silently going limp, being dragged by Sun Dong and the others to the side of the wall!

  At this time, Luo Xiang and Lang Peng shot out like arrows, bursting through the large red gate and rushing in, then climbing up onto the wall along the horse path!

  It's called a wall, but it's actually about 1.5 meters wide, with a half-person-high guard wall on the outside and a low wall over one foot high on the inside, with a sentry post every ten steps or so from the gate.

  Luo Xiang, Chao Lang and Peng made a gesture, then separated, each rushing towards a sentry post to deal with the Northeastern Army soldiers inside!

  Inside the sentry post, two Northeastern Army sentries leaned against the wall, their eyes slightly closed, enjoying the soothing moonlight, and humming a little tune. Their life seemed quite comfortable!

  Luo Xiang silently and quietly covered behind him, like a ghost appearing out of nowhere. He stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of that Northeastern Army sentry.

  A northeast soldier shuddered, suddenly opening his eyes to find Luo Xiang standing in front of him. The face that had been blackened by smoke had a pair of eyes gleaming with cold light staring at him, and he couldn't help but open his mouth to shout out!

  Luo Xiang's hand suddenly stretched out to cover his mouth, and the three-edged military dagger in his other hand was pressed against his throat. He coldly shouted, "Don't make a sound, or you're dead for sure!"

  His mouth was covered, the sentinel could only make a low humming noise, his eyes were full of fearful expression. Upon hearing Luo Xiang say this, he hastily nodded in agreement, afraid that if he delayed, his life would not be spared.

  Luo Xiang took him down from the sentry post and reunited with Sun Dong and others, only then did he release his hand covering his mouth!

  As soon as he was released, the sentinel couldn't help but let out a loud gasp, earlier Luo Xiang's palm had been like an iron pincer, making him feel like his jawbone was about to be crushed!

  It wasn't until then that he saw clearly that the ones who came were not monsters, but Luo Xiang and those special forces members. Although his fear had temporarily subsided a bit, another kind of fear had taken over his heart!

  "Captain Luo, sorry, it was our squad leader who did it, we just followed and made some noise, nothing else! " The sentry looked at the special forces soldiers behind Luo Xiang, covered in blood, and felt a killing aura overwhelming him, causing his knees to go weak and kneel on the ground.

  The special forces soldiers had just come down from the battlefield, and they were all a bit bloodshot from killing people, so they all carried a very strong murderous aura, which ordinary people couldn't stand.

  "What's going on?" Luo Xiang turned around and gestured to the special forces soldier behind him, then asked the sentry, "What exactly happened at the base?"

  The sentinel looked at Luo Xiang with a suspicious gaze, seemingly hesitant at first, but when he saw Sun Dong drawing his tiger-toothed military knife and Lang Peng clenching his massive fists, making cracking sounds, he couldn't help but start trembling in his legs. In the end, he confessed honestly, "Squad leader, it was our platoon leader who used anesthetic to knock out your subordinates, bound them up as hostages, and planned to extort you!"

  "Meat ticket?!"

  Luo Xiang heard this and furrowed his brow. He asked in a deep voice, "How can the Northeast Army be on the same moral level as bandits?"

  "We were originally the second-in-command of Liao Xi Qingmakan, and later the first-in-command Du Laipan was killed by the Seventh Brigade. We followed our second-in-command to surrender to the Northeast Army, and he became the platoon leader!" The sentry nodded repeatedly, it seemed that Luo Xiang had guessed correctly!

  Luo Xiang felt extremely guilty at this time, it was all his own mistake. These Northeastern Army were a mixed bag, with all sorts of people, there were hot-blooded men like Cheng Tianlei, and naturally, there were also those who would switch sides at the drop of a hat, playing both sides against each other.

  I was careless for a moment and was actually taken advantage of by these people, almost causing great losses. This is really inexcusable!

  If you don't discover anything unusual and rush in suddenly, you might also fall into the opponent's trap, and at that time, neither your safety nor that of the special forces members will be guaranteed.

  It would be too unjust if he really died at the hands of those few small bandits!
