Li Hongzhi is now interrogating several people who have just been arrested on the mountain. These people now have blue noses and swollen faces, and it seems that they have suffered some hardships, Li Hongzhi sat in front of them with a golden knife, looking at a few big fat sheep tied to the pillar.

"Who are you?"

The leader replied, "We are just passing merchants going to Shanxi." ”

"Passer-by merchant, you burn newspapers in broad daylight to liar ghosts. Now that the merchants are armed with their guns, look at what you are wearing, all of them are wearing suits and leather shoes, like merchants?"

"This hero, we are really businessmen, this world is chaotic, with a gun is for self-defense, passing by the treasure land and you conflict, we are really helpless, when the gun went off, it was really shocking, we are willing to compensate. ”

"Compensation, now compensation is secondary, ordinary people in this place will not come, you are sneaking around will not be a spy of devils, right?"

"You are the traitor of the devil, we are upright Chinese. Said a square-faced man tied to a pillar.

Because of his insulting words, he received two punches in the stomach.

"This hero has something to say, something to say, please don't do it. We are really not devils' spies, and there is a reason why we don't hide this road, a batch of goods we transported some time ago was robbed here, so we came to investigate. ”

"Oh, I was robbed, so unlucky, do you know who did it?"

Hearing Li Hongzhi ask this, the person who led him was a little embarrassed. Looking at his embarrassed expression, Li Hongzhi instantly understood, and after a long time, people suspected that they robbed it. Think about it, in this barren mountains and mountains, there is no garrison of devils, and the Eighth Route Army will not rob the merchants who pass by, and the only ones left should be bandits.

"What is that cargo of yours? It's not that I'm bragging, I, Li Hongzhi, am also a bit famous in this realm, tell me what kind of goods it is? I'll help you find it." Li Hongzhi was also curious if it was something that his own people robbed.

"It's a batch of medicines and medical equipment, it's the goods ordered by Boss Chen in Shanxi, the quantity is not much, only a few boxes, I didn't expect the people who transported the goods to be robbed in this place, and a few people were injured. Because there are still business contacts in the future, I will personally lead a team to check it out this time. ”

"Oh, well, medicine is now the most expensive thing, even if it is not much, it is more gold. I don't know who is so lucky that they can get a batch of medicines, which can be a lot of money if they are sold. By the way, what's your surname?"

"Li Yingying, my surname is Jin. ”

"Don't call me a hero, it sounds weird, I mean the big boss of Maoershan and the commander-in-chief of the mighty anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Maoershan, you can call me Commander Li. ”

“........ , Commander Li, we are really just passing merchants, how can we be allowed to go?"

"It's not impossible to go, we have always only wanted money and not killed. But you hurt some of my brothers, but you have to pay for it. You look like you're very rich. If you want to leave, you have to spend money to redeem yourselves. ”

"I wonder how much Commander Li wants?" asked Mr. Kim.

"The girl we picked up the mountain a few days ago promised to give me ten gold bars, so many of you, why can't you give me 50 gold bars?"

The man who had been punched twice just now shouted at Li Hongzhi: "50 gold bars! Why don't you grab them!"

Li Hongzhi sneered and said, "I'm just robbing, you don't accept it and bite me!" That cheap expression, I really want people to smoke him.

The man surnamed Jin said, "Commander Li, 50 gold bars is too much. Don't say 50, I can't even get five right now, can you be accommodating? We're just ordinary businessmen. ”

"There's no money, it's not that it's not negotiable, then you prepare 500 guns for me, and another 50,000 rounds of ammunition. ”

The person surnamed Jin heard Li Hongzhi say this, his face was speechless, 500 guns, 50,000 rounds of ammunition, although the value is not as much as 50 gold bars, but now the gun is not easy to get. During the war years, the most valuable things were arms and medicines.

"Think about it. Although I said that I would not kill for money, if your ransom is delayed, don't blame me for turning the other cheek and being ruthless. ”

After Li Hongzhi finished speaking, he swaggered out. Li Dao, who delivered the letter, returned to Mao'er Mountain.

"Brother, what that woman said is true. I really met the people of the Eighth Route Army and entered their base area. They promised to ransom with gold bars. But the safety of the person must be guaranteed. The location is up to us. ”

"Hey, just those poor eight roads, they actually gave up ten gold bars, it seems that our price is going to be lower. ”

"Brother, since it's going to be lower, why don't I go and deliver the letter again, and let's raise the price?

Li Hongzhi gave Li Dao a slap and said: "To be a man is to be trustworthy, we are thieves and thieves, and bandits are bandits. ”

"Since Miss Zhou wants to go to Shanxi so much, let's set the location in Shanxi. You and the bald man go to choose a good place, and make sure that our people can evacuate safely. Remember to notify the other side to pick someone up. ”

"Brother, don't worry about me. ”

This group of bandits in Maoershan has been here for many years. This group of people has been active here since the Qing government was overthrown, and now a generation has changed. The reason why they have not been annexed by other forces so far is mainly because the terrain here is relatively dangerous and belongs to a branch of Taihang Mountain. It can be said that it is densely forested, and people who are not familiar with the road are easy to get lost in the mountains.

It's not that no one has ever beaten their minds, but because they still have a hundred or so guns. Coupled with the cover of the terrain, he didn't make any major cases, so he has been surviving until now. However, they did not yet know that danger was imminent, because they were being targeted by the Japanese.

Lieutenant General Isamu Mamoru took the information and said to Fujiwara: "Fujiwara, this is your last chance. The latest information came, Zhou Min is now in Mao'er Mountain, take your people to catch her, don't miss this time. ”

Fujiwara looked at the direction where the division commander pointed to the map, and said hesitantly: "Your Excellency, as far as I know, not far from here is the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. I'm worried that when I act, I'll get their attention. ”

"I will send the Tanaka Wing to cooperate with you to contain the 386 Brigade, your only task is to catch Zhou Min, she is now in that bandit den, there are more than 200 bandits, their combat effectiveness is very low, if you fail again this time, you will cut your stomach to thank His Majesty the Emperor!"

When Fujiwara heard what the regiment commander said, he shuddered, stomped his foot and said, "Hayi"

Zhou Min is now breathing fresh air in the cottage comfortably, looking at the scenery when he has nothing to do, and sometimes chatting with the old people and children on the mountain, without any consciousness of meat tickets.

Unbeknownst to her, however, there were evil eyes staring at her behind her, and her trails had been completely exposed under the noses of the Japanese.
