Chapter 660 The Secret in the Blank Paper
Outside the hospital courtyard!
Wu Qianli sat on a chair in the courtyard as usual, with a thick stack of documents beside him, while Pei Xue sat quietly watching him.
Looking at Wu Qianli who was concentrating on processing the documents, the corners of Pei Xue's mouth rose slightly.
"Did I get something on my face?"
Wu Qianli closed a document and turned around with a smile.
Pei Xue was taken aback, and quickly shook her head: "No, it's just that I thought that those of you who led troops to fight would not calm down, but I didn't expect you to be like a literati."
Wu Qianli smiled and said: "Those who lead troops in battle should know the bravery of the champion, but even more so!"
"A general who is illiterate and doesn't ask questions is just a reckless man in the end. Besides, I can't go out now, so I can only know some things outside through reports."
"By the way, did the dean say when I can be discharged from the hospital?"
Pei Xue was taken aback for a moment, then twitched a little: "Talk about it!"
"Whether it's a week or a month, I forget."
In fact, she is very clear, because the dean just told her just today, but she has her own selfishness, so she didn't tell Wu Qianli.
Wu Qianli guessed some of the changes in her expression, and said lightly: "The life in the hospital is really good, a bit gentle, but I still have to go back to the army after all, that is where I belong."
Pei Xue was taken aback, and lowered her head in frustration: "The dean said that you are fine, and you will stay in the hospital for observation for another three days. If you have no other symptoms, you can be discharged."
Wu Qianli nodded slightly: "Three days, it goes by pretty quickly!"
"Thank you!"
Pei Xue was taken aback: "Who? Thank me? Thank you for what?"
Wu Qianli smiled and said, "There is no one else here."
"I've heard it all. You donated blood and saved me. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."
Pei Xue shook her head: "No, it is"
Pei Xue hesitated to speak, as if she was about to say something.
At this moment, there was a loud noise from outside: "Slow down, slow down, don't bump into me!"
Wu Qianli was taken aback, then turned to look towards the door, and found that four soldiers were carrying a chair wrapped in black linen.
"What's going on?" Wu Qianli asked with a frown.
Li Yunlong said with a smile: "This is a gift I gave you, I got it from Weihu Mountain, come and see it!"
Wu Qianli said indifferently: "Okay, don't be impatient, say what you say directly, and talk about it, at least you are a person who leads troops to fight."
Li Yunlong chuckled, then tore off the black linen cloth, and immediately Zuo Shandiao's pure gold dragon chair appeared in front of Wu Qianli.
"You said it was for me?" Wu Qianli said with a frown.
Li Yunlong nodded heavily: "How is it? Do you like it?"
Wu Qianli snorted coldly: "I can't afford to sit on this thing, and I'm not qualified to sit on it either!"
"This should be made of pure gold, right?"
Li Yunlong nodded: "Your vision is really good, this is really made of bloody gold."
Wu Qianli nodded: "If that's the case, let's get along!"
"Molten?" Li Yunlong's eyes widened: "No, this is a chair after all. Why did you melt him? At worst, you can give it to the deputy commander-in-chief when you return to Northwest Shanxi!"
Wu Qianli said coldly: "If you give this thing to the deputy commander, you will not be far from the deputy commander shooting you."
"What's the character of our deputy commander? He doesn't want to eat even a piece of meat. You gave him this, isn't it purely for scolding?"
"But this is a dragon chair!" Li Yunlong said.
Wu Qianli said coldly: "What's the use of the dragon chair if the emperor is gone?"
"You let me sit in that chair to harm me, listen to me, melt him down, and then exchange it for food and clothes, and then distribute it to the people in the city."
"Before the people are full, let's not think about those fancy things!"
Chen Kuan on the side covered his mouth and snickered: "I've already said it, our regiment leader won't want this."
"Chen Kuan!" Wu Qianli turned to look at him and said, "You went with him to suppress the bandits, how could you let him make such a low-level mistake?"
Chen Kuan was taken aback, and looked at Wu Qianli aggrievedly: "Commander, I don't have one."
"You don't have anything?" Wu Qianli said angrily, "Except for food and weapons, all other seized items were exchanged for edible and drinkable items and distributed to the common people!"
"All of them?" Chen Kuan asked.
Wu Qianli nodded: "All of them!"
Chen Kuan curled his lips and said, "Okay!"
"By the way, leader, we found a blank piece of paper in Zuo Shandiao's room. We suspected that there was a secret in it, so we brought it back. Take a look."
Wu Qianli was taken aback: "Blank paper? What's so good about white paper?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "I've said it all, this is just a blank piece of paper, what can be inside, you just think too much!"
Chen Kuan ignored it, and directly handed the white paper to Wu Qianli, as well as a handful of sawdust.
After receiving the white paper, Wu Qianli looked it over carefully, and found that there seemed to be some traces of painting in the middle part of the white paper.
Holding up the white paper to the sun, Wu Qianli could vaguely see some traces on it, but it was not very obvious.
"Xiao Pei, go get some iodine!"
"Yes!" Pei Xue responded and left quickly.
"Why? Is there really a secret here?" Li Yunlong asked in surprise.
Wu Qianli nodded: "When I took it just now, I smelled something special on it. It should be a special kind of paint that wrote something on it."
"And some traces can be vaguely seen in the sun. If I guess correctly, this may be a letter from the mountain eagle to contact other people, but it is not sure."
Li Yunlong frowned: "You don't mean that the mountain eagle is related to devils?"
"Not sure!" Wu Qianli said flatly: "The devil once sent troops to attack a mountain eagle. If there is really a connection between the two sides, then the devil should not do such a thing."
"Is there a possibility that the two parties contacted after the fight?"
"Probably not!" Wu Qianli said: "This paper must have a history of at least five years, but the Kwantung Army's crusade against the mountain sculpture happened in the past two years, so it should be impossible."
"I actually think that there may be some shocking secrets in it, otherwise the mountain eagle would not be so precious about this map!" Chen Kuan said.
"Baby?" Wu Qianli frowned, what's going on?
Chen Kuan was taken aback for a moment, and told Wu Qianli everything that happened.
Wu Qianli nodded: "If you want to put it that way, I'm really a little curious about this piece of white paper!"
However, what Wu Qianli didn't know was that the secret hidden in this white paper was enough to shock the entire Northeast!
