There were chrysanthemums in the Chrysanthemum Night Market, and they were arranged next to the turntable.
Xu Le was worried about the hidden emotions between the two groups of soldiers. The waiter calmly pushed over a dozen plates of food and four bottles of cold beer. Probably because he had seen too many dramas of soldiers in the night market, he was already used to it and wasn't nervous at all.
Although the soldiers on both sides of the night market were brewing an angry atmosphere, they probably had misgivings about the military police all over Sunset Province, so they didn't make a move. Xu Le shook his head. He used the tip of his finger to scratch his slightly itchy eyebrows. He let go of the worry in his heart and opened the bottle of beer to pour a cup for Lulu.
The golden liquid overflowed the cup with foam. Right now, they weren't in the luxurious room of the Golden Splendor nightclub. He and the girl were alone in the sea breeze, and for a moment, they couldn't find much to talk about. They were originally strangers, but they coincidentally met many years ago.
Xu Le's silence was because some of the troops were nervous. The smoke of the battlefield and the contract of life and death could arouse the instinctive desires of humans. It was probably because of the fear of death that the subconscious delayed the outbreak of lust.
He was a normal young man, so on this cold night, he naturally had some expectations and excitement. Lulu was also secretly a bit nervous, but she also felt awkward because it was completely inconsistent with her profession. Thus, the two could only lower their heads and smile as they drank, chatting about the architectural style of Linhai Province. However, this was not something that Xu Le was good at, something that Miss Lulu would know.
He didn't know how many glasses of beer had gone down his stomach, but the alcohol had gotten to his head. The girl beside him had become even more beautiful and alluring. Xu Le felt his face heat up. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a mocking voice coming from his right.
"A bunch of bumpkins, looks like you're really used to being poor in those crappy mountains. So many of you only order so little to eat. I say … you've already spent so much of our military funds, why are you still pretending to be poor? "
The one who said this was an officer of the 2nd Military Region. Probably because he drank too much, he no longer had any scruples and vented all of the disdain and hatred in his heart. When they heard this extremely bitter ridicule, the Federation government soldiers began to roar with laughter. They provocatively shouted at the night market owner, saying that they wanted to add more food to the anti-government army.
When the Green Dragon Mountain soldiers heard these noises, they angrily raised their heads and stared in that direction.
Dressed in thin, light-colored military uniforms, they looked like a group of miscellaneous soldiers, but their discipline was really very strict. Although they were angry, they maintained absolute silence. However, it was this silence that suddenly erupted with a certain kind of aura, oppressing the entire night market inexplicably.
Xu Le saw that Lulu was a bit nervous. now. he explained... to him........ to the Federation's special force... is now the Federation's first...
Hearing his explanation, Lulu didn't feel relieved. The fear on her face became even stronger. After all, she was an ordinary girl living in S1. She had heard a lot of propaganda from the federal government since she was young. It was easy for her to associate the anti-government army with violent, bloody, and cruel words.
. Xu Le remained silent.
Today, the Federation was reconciled. President Pabre and Nanshui's leader held a historic handshake. The Green Dragon Mountain anti-government army was reorganized into the first special force. However, no one knew when that crack in people's hearts would truly be erased.
Even he himself often forgot the name of the first special force. He habitually called these soldiers the anti-government army.
The Green Dragon Mountain soldiers in the corner of the night market lowered their heads under the cold gaze of their commanding officer. They continued to quietly eat, from time to time picking up the water bottle beside them to drink a mouthful of water.
Xu Le looked at the few plates of food on their table, as well as the cheap food on the plates. He felt a bit moved in his heart. He was moved by the other side's iron-like military discipline, as well as their unique temperament. That was a type of idealistic luster that could only be set off by simple and even poverty.
But since it had already been reorganized, the Federation government wouldn't go so far as to cut off the other side's supplies. A trace of doubt flashed through Xu Le's ink-black brows. He took out a military encrypted phone and dialed Shi Qinghai's number.
No one answered the phone.
The doubt between his ink-black brows turned into a bit of worry. Mr. Shi was nominated by Green Dragon Mountain and directly appointed by the president to be the liaison officer between the two sides. His position was extremely high. Could it be that he had to go on some dangerous mission?
…
…
The Green Dragon Mountain soldiers had just returned from the front lines. Their bodies were covered in dust. They had just disembarked from the warship and were randomly looking for a place to fill their stomachs. Unexpectedly, they chose the Chrysanthemum Night Market, the place that soldiers loved to gather.
This group of simple and unadorned soldiers used the fastest speed to finish the food on their plates. The plates were very clean and not a single grain of rice was wasted. They then prepared to line up and leave. It was clear that the Green Dragon Mountain troops had received strict instructions before coming to the front lines to avoid conflict with the government army as much as possible.
The officer who didn't wear any Federation insignia walked up to the counter and took out a few bills to settle the bill. He said a few words to the waiter and then smiled and nodded his head to express his thanks. The subordinate soldiers knew that they had finished talking. They took out the water bottles beside them and walked up to the counter to begin lining up. In an extremely orderly manner, they collected water from the night market water purifier and filled the water bottles to the brim.
Seeing this scene, Xu Le was somewhat moved.
He wasn't the only one who was moved. After a moment of silence, the soldiers of the Second Military Region watched as these Green Dragon Mountain soldiers prepared to leave. Their exceptionally intense emotions stirred up by the alcohol could no longer be controlled.
"I suddenly understand why these bumpkins who only know how to kill their own people are willing to spend money to come to this night market to eat."
A major looked at the Green Dragon Mountain troops who were currently collecting water and said mockingly, "Do you guys understand?"
All the officers at the table shook their heads with disdain.
Tonight, they had originally planned to invite a few of their comrades from the Three Military Region to the Golden Splendor Night Club, but in the end, they couldn't enter. They had long been suppressing their anger. On the way, they just so happened to run into a lower-ranked company, so the hundred or so people decided to just drink in the night market. Who would have thought that when they were drunk to the point of excitement, they would run into their mortal enemies? How could they let go of this opportunity to humiliate them?
That major coldly laughed and said, "That's because these bastards are so poor that they don't have the money to find women, and they also don't have the qualifications to dance with the female members of the Arts and Crafts Troupe. Now that they've joined us, they don't dare to forcefully snatch female students. This is so f * cking sullen … they could only blow up their own people's chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemum Night Market? I think the barracks they live in are also called chrysanthemum barracks. "
As soon as these words were spoken, there was another wave of extremely unbridled laughter from the government army.
The Green Dragon Mountain soldiers who were currently queuing up to collect water all raised their heads with a whoosh, staring at them angrily. Most of them couldn't keep their cool anymore after being provoked by these malicious words. They began to coldly roll up their thin military uniform sleeves, as if they were rolling up their martial force.
In Sunset Province, it was very common for soldiers to fight after drinking. Seeing that the Green Dragon Mountain side seemed to be preparing to move, the government army soldiers didn't show any fear. They coldly stood up, gripping the ice-cold beer bottles on the table.
That Green Dragon Mountain officer calmly waved his hand, suppressing the anger of his subordinates. After a moment of silence, he looked at the distant government army soldiers and said, "I will make a complaint about today's matter to the headquarters through the liaison office."
"You're welcome to make a complaint, Officer Chrysanthemum. However, I advise you to put on the glorious epaulets of the Federal Army before you make a complaint. Since you've already joined us, then don't even think about keeping any face."
That major of the Second Military Region said. The government soldiers behind him began to whistle, and countless obscenities spewed out.
Xu Le was silent for a moment. He left his chair and turned to the group of government soldiers on his right.
According to his temperament, if these people who deliberately stirred up trouble and disregarded the Federation's overall situation to humiliate Green Dragon Mountain were from other troops, he wouldn't have been able to restrain himself from flipping out long ago. Even though he was an important target of the Federal military's nurturing, even though he didn't have the slightest good impression of Green Dragon Mountain's upper echelons, even though he had killed Macklin and punished the son of the Nanshui leader, because of his relationship with Zhang Xiaomeng and Shi Qinghai, he emotionally couldn't accept the soldiers of Green Dragon Mountain being humiliated by others.
However, the soldiers who humiliated Green Dragon Mountain were from the Second Military Region, so he could understand their anger. He quietly listened to this moment.
For several decades, the Federation government had been encircling and suppressing Green Dragon Mountain's anti-government forces on S2. Who knew how many people had died from both sides. As the main force, the Second Military Region had formed a blood feud with Green Dragon Mountain's anti-government forces.
These emotional soldiers of the Second Military Region, who were eager to fight, must have had their closest comrades and most respected superiors who had died under the bullets of Green Dragon Mountain's anti-government forces. How could such a grudge be resolved with a simple handshake from politicians?
However, this matter was still too much. In the face of the invasion of the Empire, the Federation's general offensive was proceeding vigorously. However, in Sunset Province, a scene of brothers turning against each other was playing out. Xu Le couldn't accept it. He shouted at the government soldiers who were clenching their beer bottles tightly, as if they were about to rush out at any moment.
"Enough! Do you want the military police to lock all of you up in a small dark room? "
However, he had only used force to deal with the old soldiers of the Seventh Military Region. He hadn't personally dealt with a disturbance in the army. He didn't know that the soldiers, who were completely drunk, had naturally entered a state of excitement and preparation for a fight. They were just like the bulls on the electronic wall in Donglin that had been provoked by the uncle. As long as there was even the slightest touch, they would sensitively jump up …
The soldiers in this type of state wouldn't care about verbal threats at all. On the contrary, they just happened to need a certain point to arouse the situation.
The two sides confronting each other in the Chrysanthemum Night Market didn't know who he was. The dusky night and the pair of eyes that were red from alcohol made it impossible for them to see Xu Le's face clearly. More importantly, the military uniform he wore tonight didn't have a lieutenant colonel epaulet. It was for the sake of being low-key, but it was also a source of trouble.
Thus, it was quite regrettable that Xu Le's appearance became that point.
"Who the f * ck are you?" That major of the Second Military Region released a drunken burp. He looked at him from the corner of his eyes. His gaze then passed over his shoulder and landed on that group of Green Dragon Mountain soldiers. His expression suddenly changed. He roared with extreme excitement, "Brothers, go!"
What was going on wasn't a person, nor was it a bullet, but a beer bottle.
The government soldiers, who had experience in street fights, roared and threw the beer bottles in their hands towards the Chrysanthemum Night Market. For a moment, the night sky of Sunset Province was filled with the sound of whistling wind and the muffled sounds of beer bottles smashing into people or the ground.
A few beer bottles intentionally or unintentionally flew towards Xu Le's body. His expression was extremely ugly as he turned around. He completely protected Lulu's body in his arms and allowed those bottles to smash into his back. Bang bang bang bang bang … It was as if the sound of drums could be heard.
…
…
(On the first night of the Kunming Annual Festival, a lot of people went. That night market was called the Chrysanthemum Night Market. At that time, the white bird wanted to fly, and the seventy-two wanted to protect the chrysanthemum. The two of them were nestled in a corner of the long table. The scene was so romantic that it made everyone laugh.
Spies wrote this night market, of course, just to borrow this name to reminisce and borrow it.
The plot itself was mainly to write about Green Dragon Mountain and West Woods. These aspects definitely couldn't be left out. I wanted to use this kind of non-positive plot to briefly write the details of the virtual history needed for the atmosphere.
