Xue Jingxiang probably didn't expect that I could resist her charm, so she smiled awkwardly, and then replied: "Actually, my grandfather really wanted to go into the mountains. According to what he said, he wanted to find out what happened to them before he died. What? And I also want to know the secret hidden in that snowy mountain."
After hearing this, I wanted to continue asking questions.
However, Xue Jingxiang stood up and was too lazy to tidy up her curly hair: "Okay, it's getting late, let's go pick out the equipment to bring to the snow mountain first! After that, I will arrange for you to stay in the hotel and have a good sleep. Get some sleep and we’ll get on the plane tomorrow.”
airplane?
I glanced at Xue Jingxiang in surprise. In such a chaotic era, it was not easy to charter a plane.
Xue Jingxiang smiled a little proudly and added: "It is a military transport aircraft imported from abroad."
"I have also said hello to the leader of the Sichuan Army. We can first pick them up and land at their airport, and then arrange for vehicles to enter the Garze District."
"Next we can go to Kangding and finally reach Gongga Snow Mountain!"
Xue Jingxiang spoke one sentence after another with such a strong aura that if she wasn't a woman, I would have suspected that she was a powerful warlord somewhere.
I couldn't help but be a little stunned that such a powerful aura actually appeared in such a young woman.
I quietly tapped Lao Jiang's waist and asked in a low voice: "Isn't your Qilin's intelligence very good? Tell me, what is the background of this woman?"
Lao Jiang glanced at me disdainfully, and then said back mercilessly: "Idiot, don't you know the famous Young Master of the West of the Republic of China?"
"Young Master of Min-Guoxi?"
I have heard these words before, but what does they have to do with the woman in front of me?
Lao Jiang patiently explained: "Young Master Xi of the Republic of China is known as 'wine, sex and wealth'. Mr. Jiu is in Huizhou and controls the world's water and land transportation. Mr. Cai is the Hongmen leader you know, Zhang Baiju, who controls the Shanghai Bank." Mr. Qi is in the northeast, commanding an army of 200,000 men, and the last Mr. Se is far away, right in front of us. "
"You mean, Xue Jingxiang is actually one of the young masters from the west of the Republic of China?"
My eyes widened.
Lao Jiang immediately gave me a shudder: "Otherwise, this girl is a social butterfly in Shanghai. She has manipulated many wealthy businessmen and fierce warlords into applause. She can cover the sky with one hand. She should not be underestimated."
I looked at Xue Jingxiang and felt that she was indeed qualified to be one of the Western Young Masters of the Republic of China, but I still couldn't bear to ask: "Why is this last Young Master a woman?"
Lao Jiang twitched the corner of his mouth and threw an osmanthus cake into his mouth: "Young masters from the West of the Republic of China each have their own hobbies and differences. What's wrong with the women? Mr. Zhang is neither a boy nor a girl."
After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something again. He sat upright and looked at me with a knife-like gaze.
There was a hint of warning in his tone: "Good disciple, I told you this because I didn't put you on guard. Don't report to Mr. Zhang, otherwise my cigarette money will be cut off..."
I dealt with it a few times, but secretly wrote it down in the little ledger inside.
After what he said, I roughly understood that the current society of the Republic of China is still in the midst of internal and external troubles, with enemies from outside invading and factions rising internally. The kind of army boss who occupies several provinces is called a warlord, and the one who controls several cities is called a military leader.
Being able to deal with them, no wonder Xue Jingxiang was able to get a transport plane.
Although Xue Jingxiang is young, she is very resolute in her work. After explaining everything, she planned to take us to choose the equipment for the mountain.
"Strike while the iron is hot, let's go!"
When going out, Xue Jingxiang put on a white mink coat, which made her even more elegant and luxurious.
And then Xue Jingxiang did not disappoint us. Her driver stepped on the accelerator and took us to the military warehouse.
I saw with my own eyes that when the car was about to arrive at the checkpoint, more than a dozen soldiers aimed their guns at the vehicle.
He even set up a heavy machine gun! Prevent someone from crossing the border.
But when he saw Xue Jingxiang sitting in the car, he didn't even dare to fart.
Not only did he move all the obstacles, he also saluted respectfully at the back of the car as it went away.
Xue Jingxiang regarded this place as her home. Once we arrived, she led us to the huge warehouse with ease.
Xue Jingxiang actually still had the key to the armory here. After saying hello to the two administrators, she opened the door wearing black velvet gloves.
As soon as we opened the warehouse door, all we saw were real guys!
There is a dazzling array of weapons here, almost the best inventory in the local army at present. Not only are there a variety of rifles, there are even Maxim heavy machine guns and crooked guns. There are also more than a dozen weapons placed steadily in the corner of the warehouse. Mortars and heavy artillery.
Lao Jiang's eyes were shining, and he shook his head repeatedly: "Anti-aircraft guns are used to kill mosquitoes. Are Miss Xue trying to level Gongga Snow Mountain with one shot?"
Xue Jingxiang waved her fan gently, smiled sweetly, and her gestures were full of charm: "You can get everything else in the warehouse, but don't think about these. We are going to the snowy mountains, not the battlefield. You can fire a few shots casually. It will cause an avalanche, not to mention the cannon, and we will be buried there as unjust victims!"
"But, I will equip each of you with a Browning pistol to prevent sudden crises."
Browning has stable performance and is easy to carry. It is indeed suitable for high cold climates such as snowy mountains.
The more thoughtful Xue Jingxiang is, the longer she has been preparing for this trip into the mountains.
Next, Xue Jingxiang began to lead us to select equipment, followed by a quartermaster who nodded and bowed.
The quartermaster was very polite to all of us. He said that each of us would be given an ice pick, a rope, a pair of non-slip leather boots, and a cold-resistant military coat.
While talking, the quartermaster introduced the things to us and said that if there was anything special we needed, we could mention it to him and he would add more as appropriate.
At this discretion, Xue Jingxiang should nod.
While they were talking, I picked up my military coat and asked Lao Jiang in a low voice: "Master, do you think we are going to wear soldier's clothes on this trip?"
Lao Jiang kicked me: "It's not leather. This is a woolen coat from the US military. It can keep out the wind and cold. It's definitely a good thing. Otherwise, if you try climbing halfway up the mountain, it will freeze into an ice sculpture."
"Only officers of this quality are issued to officers above the division commander, do you understand? We are taking advantage of Miss Xue."
As Lao Jiang said this, he put his coat on his body in front of me, squealing like a victorious rooster.
Next, the quartermaster prepared some compressed biscuits, canned beef, fuel, and even a pair of sunglasses for each of us!
