Several soldiers of the security regiment were sitting under a tree watching the pedestrians on the avenue. A slightly beautiful woman came over, and these boys laughed weirdly, and one of them whistled, completely like an idle hooligan.

"Hey, who's over there?" A kid was pointing into the distance along the main road, and a few other people craned their necks to look that way, yo, isn't that Japanese?

"Hurry up, hurry up, the Japanese are coming!" A few boys hurriedly got up, holding guns, you look at me, I look at you, all of them don't know what to do.

"Shall I report to the squad leader?" The kid who first saw the imperial army reacted quickly, and he first remembered his boss squad leader.

"The squad leader drank too much wine at noon, and now he hasn't woken up yet." Another one who knew more about the squad leader's whereabouts gave a very speechless answer. These few people don't know what to do. After looking left and right, suddenly they saw the savior, and the platoon commander led the two of them to appear not far away.

"Platoon commander, platoon commander! Platoon Commander Zhu! While shouting, a few boys ran over.

"What? How many of you don't get to your post well, what are you running around about? Platoon Commander Zhu reprimanded a few of his subordinates while changing the wine bottle.

"The Japanese, the Japanese are coming. There are a lot of them, you see! ”

Platoon Commander Zhu looked in the direction of his hand, and he also gasped. However, he still has some ideas about whether he is the platoon commander or not, "You, go and report to the regiment commander!" You, go and report to Ono Tai-kun. The others stood with me. When the Japanese come, ask where they came from? Don't let the fake impersonate it! ”

"Yes!" Several boys agreed in unison, and the report of the news, the standing guard, and the look of kung fu in the blink of an eye took on a new look.

Zhou Lin also saw these doglegs. The soldiers of this security regiment are not even serious puppet soldiers, and Zhou Lin didn't take them seriously at all. Seeing that there were only a few people at the intersection, Zhou Lin ordered the troops to cheer up, throw off the big stride and just walk straight!

Seeing that the imperial army team was getting closer and closer with their heads up, and when they came to the front, they didn't even have the slightest intention of slowing down, Platoon Commander Zhu couldn't help it, "Ladies and gentlemen, where did you come from?" ”

"Eight Tooth Road!" Chen Zhong's mouth was a standard Japanese daily greeting, followed by a string of Japanese words in the mouth, and no matter what the other party's reaction was, he just led the team forward.

Platoon Commander Zhou and a few people watched the imperial army line up into the town, and they only had to pay attention. Everyone has said that who would dare to go up again to find bad luck? A few people watched the imperial army pass over one by one, and finally finished walking, how could there be anything behind? The color is still different? Platoon Chang Zhou rubbed his eyes, huh? How did these people not wear Japanese military uniforms? They are wearing the uniforms of the national army!

"Stop! What do you do? "It's not the Imperial Army, the soldiers of the Security Corps are immediately energetic.

"Broadsword!" Li Lishan spat out these three words in his mouth, and his eyes swept coldly over several security guards. I shuddered a few times when I saw these boys. "What? Can't we go? ”

"You please, you please." Platoon Commander Zhu couldn't wait to lower his head into his crotch. Who would have thought that the Japanese would be followed by a broadsword? When did the people of the Broadsword Society also wear military uniforms? Could it be that they also took refuge in the Japanese? This man was thinking wildly, but he didn't dare to raise his head at all, until he saw people walking past in the corner of his eye, and then he slowly straightened his waist.

"Platoon commander, the broadsword club has also defected to the Japanese?" A kid asked his platoon commander.

"Phew, stop talking nonsense! You don't mention anything about the big knife meeting, be careful of provoking fire! I said a few of you, there are only Japanese people who came to the town today, only a team of imperial soldiers and no one else, remember? If you don't want to cause trouble to your family, you forget all the people just now, and you are not allowed to talk to your mother! ”

When Platoon Commander Zhu taught his subordinates, Ren Laifeng had already lined up into Xinhe Town with the guards. This is the first time he has entered Xinhe, and he is so curious about everything in this small town on the edge of the Yangtze River.

Li Lishan is also a first-time visitor to Xinhe, but he doesn't seem to be so unfamiliar with this place. After walking not far into the town, he casually pulled a villager from the side of the road and asked a few words, Li Lishan seemed to have a score in his heart, and led Ren Laifeng directly onto the path.

Xinhe Town is not big, and there are few roads, so the group turned two corners and came to a black-painted gate. There are two soldiers of the security regiment standing at the door, is this the headquarters of the security regiment? Now, Ren Laifeng is even more puzzled. Li Lishan grinned at him, walked over and whispered a few words to the two guards, and then retreated and stood with the battalion commander Ren.

"What's going on?" At this point, Ren Laifeng no longer understood what Li Lishan was doing.

"The leader of the Xinhe Town Broadsword Society is the chief instructor of the security group, and this is his home." Li Lishan explained the purpose of coming here in two sentences, but he was a little embarrassed in his heart. Since its establishment more than 100 years ago, the Broadsword Club has always acted under the slogan of being willing for the people and being the master of the people. Who would have thought that the leader of Xinhe County would actually work for the security group, wouldn't that be a traitor, contrary to the canons and teachings?

In less than ten minutes, the black-painted door was pulled open from inside, and twenty or thirty people came out of the door. Some of these people wore half-sleeved practice uniforms, and some wore long robes and glasses. One of them, a sturdy man in a robe and a horse coat, walked quickly in front of everyone, hugged his fists, and asked in a thick Jiangxi accent: "May I ask who is my old watch in Shandong?" ”

Li Lishan took a step forward and also gave a fist salute, "I am Li Lishan from southwest Lu." ”

"Big cousin!" The man shouted in surprise, and quickly stepped forward to take Li Lishan's hand, "I'm Xiao Qingfa from Xinhe Town, let's go, come and sit at home." After speaking, he pulled Li Lishan and left, walked out two steps and stopped, "These are all the brothers of the eldest cousin, right?" Let's go, brothers, here is to go to your own house, come in to eat and drink! ”

A group of people followed into the courtyard, and the doorman closed the courtyard door again.

Ren Laifeng walked into the hall and took a look, oh, what a generous hall! On the wall facing the door hangs a picture of the middle hall of the Xiashan tiger, and on the table there is a statue of Guan Gong more than half a meter high, and three incense sticks are lit in the incense burner. From the offering table down to the door, there were six Taishi chairs.

Xiao Qingfa pulled Li Lishan to the front of the offering table and offered incense to Guan Gong, and when he was about to sit down, Li Lishan refused to sit on the main seat. Xiao Qingfa's face changed. Giving up his seat and not sitting, in his opinion, is not giving face to the master, it is to lose his face!

"Big cousin, what do you mean by that?"
