Chapter Eighty-Seven: A National Treasure
When Umezu Mijiro called, Ren Laifeng listened with his ears pricked up next to him. He was relieved to hear Commander Umezu call after call, and in a strong tone ordering the front-line commanders to obey orders. Although the Japanese army has always had a tradition of battlefield disobedience, Umezu Mijiro is a famous general who is good at managing the army, and no one should dare to disobey his orders, right?
Anyway, the dust has finally settled. As soon as the siege of Qinggang County was lifted, Ren Laifeng began to use other brains again. For example, the national treasure Peking Man skull.
Just think of it, Ren Laifeng is undisguised. "General Umezu, I heard that you have a treasure in your hand, a Peking skull. I want to see what it looks like, I wonder if you can meet my little request? ”
"Pekingese skulls? It, I don't know what that thing is. Who said it was in my hands? "Sometimes it takes courage to tell nonsense with your eyes open, especially when dealing with someone who can put a lot of pressure on you. In good conscience, Umezu Mijiro is definitely better than most people in this regard.
"What? Don't you really know? Is His Excellency Admiral Umezu trying to play peek-a-boo with me? So, can I tell you that I don't really know the whereabouts of your wife and children? There wasn't actually anyone in that room. Ren Laifeng pointed to the room where the Umezu family was with his hand, and the threat in his words was clear!
Umezu Mijiro stopped talking. Ren Laifeng openly threatened his family's lives, what else did Umezu say? What else does he have but to compromise? This is the same as Ren Laifeng just now, forcing him to call and order the troops to withdraw, he has no room for manoeuvre, nor does he have any bargaining chips to negotiate. At least, he doesn't have it now.
"Okay. Since General Ren has to see it, then I'll take you to appreciate it. ”
Uh, so easy? Ren Laifeng didn't expect Umezu Mijiro to agree so happily, he originally thought that the old devil would say something that had been sent to Japan, or that it had been shipped to Tanggu or something, and then the two of them would have a battle of wits and swords before he could know the specific location of the national treasure.
Now he didn't expect Umezu Mijiro to agree in one bite, he wondered if the old devil was hiding some mystery in it? What kind of trap did you put in the trap?
Of course, since Umezu Mijiro agreed, Ren Laifeng must follow to see what the national treasure looks like. Although he knew in his heart that it was a few dead bones, the thing was too famous, and it was no wonder that he was curious.
Umezu Mijiro walked in with Ren Laifeng. Ren Laifeng thought that he would go out and go to some secret location. Walking up the stairs with Umezu, he was full of wonders, could it be that the old Umezu devil put the Peking skull in his attic? Put a skeleton on top of his head, isn't he afraid of sleeping at night and having nightmares?
In fact, Ren Laifeng really guessed wrong. Umezu Mijiro didn't put the Pekingese skull in the attic, he put the baby in the basement. The staircase down the basement and the staircase up the stairs are connected. Walking to the staircase, Umezu Mijiro reached out and pointed down, please, the baby is below.
Ren Laifeng was just about to go down the stairs, Feng Wenying grabbed him, followed by a stride to stand in front of Ren Laifeng, and looked at Umezu Mijiro with a cold gaze. Commander Umezu immediately felt as if he had been targeted by a man-eating beast, his scalp straightened and his hair stood on end. Who is this?
"Hehe, please please, General Umezu, please go ahead, I don't know the way, I'm afraid of wrestling. Hehe. ”
It's true that you don't know the road and are afraid of wrestling? You, a general who has risen from a low-ranking soldier to the rank of a soldier by merit, will be afraid of wrestling? Are you afraid I'm going to set up an ambush down here? There is a reason to set up some ambushes, but don't you look at where this is? This is my home! Can I put a few crossbows in my own house and bury a few hundred pounds of explosives?
Umezu Mijiro despised Ren Laifeng in his heart, and he didn't stop stepping and walked down the steps. Feng Wenying followed, Ren Laifeng followed behind Feng Wenying, followed by Xiao Kuaishou, Huang Guojin and several heavily armed soldiers.
At the end of the basement, Umezu Mijiro pushed open the door, and the damp air peculiar to the underground came to his face, and he didn't know what it was inside the door. Umezu turned on the light, and his eyes were bright.
There are a lot of things in the basement, and they are neatly tied. Unused boxes, obsolete tables, children's strollers, leftover wood from the renovation of the house, and all sorts of things that are not needed, in short, this is the basement of an ordinary family's clutter. At most, many of the things in this basement can be seen at a glance as high-end goods, not ordinary people can have.
Umezu Mijiro ignored the clutter in the basement and walked straight to the innermost door. There is also a door in the basement, which can be described as a lot of mechanisms. Umezu Mijiro didn't know where to take a key to open the door, and then turn on the light, and the scene in the room suddenly appeared in front of him, and what was inside was clearly visible at the door.
There were seven or eight large wooden crates underground, a table and a chair, and nothing else. So, these wooden boxes contain the skulls of the national treasure Pekingese? In fact, these wooden boxes are so big, let alone hold the skulls of Pekingese, even living Pekingese can hold several.
When Ren Laifeng was looking at a few boxes and pondering, Umezu Mijiro had already walked up to one of the boxes, and with a slight lift, the lid of the box opened. Umezu Mijiro leaned in and carefully pulled out a cardboard box. The size of the carton is fifty or sixty centimeters, and it is square.
Carefully place the items on the box next to them, open the carton, and take out an item wrapped in a thick cloth from the inside. The packaging was unwrapped layer by layer, revealing the treasure inside. It's a grayish-white skull, a bit like a human skull, but a little less like it. This is the skull of the Pekingese who once caused a sensation, shocked the world, and became a mystery to the world!
Ren Laifeng stared at the skull of the Beijinger for a long time, but he didn't see why. He didn't study archaeology or biology at all, so he couldn't tell what the hell was going on. In short, judging from the degree of attention paid to Umezu Mijiro, this is undoubtedly the skull of the national treasure Pekingese.
There are three skulls of the missing Pekingese, all of which are stored in this box. Since Ren Laifeng saw it, of course he would not let the national treasure continue to remain in the hands of Umezu Mijiro. The old devil had been mentally prepared for this, and as soon as Ren Laifeng said that he wanted to take it away, Umezu Mijiro did not mean to stop it at all.
Ren Laifeng finally triumphantly recaptured the national treasure Peking Man skull and left this treasure in China.
