Chapter 3 Paper Arms 4
Finally survived until dawn, and the group rode out of the east gate of Xinjing on a fast horse. In fact, no one knows where to go, and if you go out of the city to look for some clues.
On the way, the "ground mouse" suddenly straightened his neck and looked at the direction, then patted his head and said, "Look at my head, why don't you think of it?" The owner, the ancestor of Longwo Ula, Zhoushui Fangyuan, and the Eight Banners, should be said to be Jilin Mansion, which is now the Jilin Provincial Office! ”
"Oh?" Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”
"Land Mouse" explained: "When Qianlong arrived in Jilin Mansion, he saw that this place was surrounded by mountains and water on three sides, and he once said that this was the place where the dragon lay out of the nest. In ancient times, Jilin Mansion was called Wula, that is, the river in the Manchu language, the continent is round, it is this natural landform, and it is one of the birthplaces of the Manchus, so it is not an exaggeration to call the ancestor of the Eight Banners! ”
"Is it in the Monkey Mountain?" A man beside Deng Long suddenly spoke.
Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment, pointed to the mountains and asked, "What is that place called?" Monkey Mountain? How is it called such a name? How many monkeys are there in the mountains? ”
"My hometown is near here, and the place they want to go to is called Monkey Mountain, which is a deep mountain and old forest. There are no monkeys in the monkey mountain, but there is a small tree on the mountain, which does not grow big, that is, the thickness of the fingers, it is section by section, and there is a pattern like a monkey's face on the joints and eyes of each section. Because the mountains are full of that kind of plant, it is called Monkey Mountain. The man replied.
"Oh? I see, is there still such a plant? Zhang Tao was stunned suddenly, turned to the "ground mouse" and said, "The forest of green trees, the edge of the monkey wood, must be what you are talking about here, right?" ”
The "ground mouse" nodded, agreeing with Zhang Tao's opinion.
"Well, I think it's supposed to be here, we have to hurry up and keep up with it, don't let the little devil win the jackpot! Fourth uncle, after you break in the back, listen to the wind and watch the rain! Zhang Tao said as he pulled out the **** from his arms and began to climb the mountain.
Before the fourth uncle could say anything, Tang Xiaoyun smiled at him, and then followed Zhang Tao closely.
The "Earth Mouse" and Deng Long, as well as the people led by Deng Long, also stuffed the reins into the hands of the fourth uncle one after another, and then followed closely.
"No...... I said......" The fourth uncle looked at Zhang Tao and them who were gradually moving away depressedly, and then looked at the dozen or so horses standing beside him, sighed and sat on the side of the road, "This young master is really, always with this kind of fiery temper!" ”
Zhang Tao said as he walked: "Why does it always seem to go back and forth in circles, I said brother, is there any conspicuous place on this mountain?" ”
"It's a bald mountain, and there's nothing but these trees and grass. That year, the marshal's soldiers sealed the mountain, and after withdrawing, it was rumored that there was a treasure hidden in the mountain, and it was coaxed seriously for a few years. As a result, no one found anything, and no one spoke of it now, and if you want to talk about this conspicuous place...... "the man thought for a moment," the man thought, "that is, there is a broken mountain temple on the mountain, and there is nothing." ”
"Good!" Zhang Tao squinted his eyes and licked his lips, "Then let's go up to the mountain temple first." ”
"But how long has that temple been, there was that temple when there was no me, the original incense was quite prosperous, and now it is estimated that it should collapse. It's a remote place, and people who don't come often can't find it. The man chattered.
"I think we should go up there and have a look, you can't just find a place to dig a pit and bury so many munitions." Tang Xiaoyun said, "'Two monkeys', if you are asked to lead the way, you will lead the way, don't talk so much nonsense." ”
"Okay, sir, I won't say it, I won't say it." The "two monkeys" obediently closed their mouths.
This mountain temple is really hard to find, there is only a path leading to it, it is surrounded by trees on all sides, and behind it is a steep mountain. The "ground mouse" looked around and said excitedly, "Boss, this is it." ”
"How do you know?" Zhang Tao and Tang Xiaoyun asked strangely in unison.
"Hey, hey!" "Earth Mouse" smirked, "How many years have we been doing this?" I don't know where to bury munitions, but the feng shui of this small temple is the pattern of the hidden dragon out of the abyss. If I want something to make a comeback, I'll put it here. ”
"If that's the case, we may really be right, don't talk about anything else, let's go first." Zhang Tao's eyes lit up.
Tang Xiaoyun ordered: "A few of you, the 'two monkeys' come in, and the rest are on guard outside!" ”
With that, a few people pushed open the door and walked into the small mountain temple. This temple has long been dilapidated, and people can raise high dust when they walk on the ground.
Adapting to the light in the room, Zhang Tao was quite disappointed. This temple is the common small mountain temple in the old forest, it is empty, the only thing that can be seen is a dusty incense case, and a statue of the mountain god standing majestically with a mountain god fork, but the whole body is covered with spider webs, which adds a bit of hideousness to its sense of majesty.
A small space, as if there was no place for them to turn around after they entered.
The "ground mouse" took out a small hammer from his broken bag and began to beat it on the ground and walls, and everyone did not know what he was going to do, so they had to look around for the so-called "arsenal".
The "ground mouse" even took a small hammer and beat it on the body of the mountain god, and just when everyone was still staring at every protrusion and even every crack in the ground, the "ground mouse" spoke: "Everyone, don't be busy, there is no underground passage here, and there is no place to hide guns." ”
"Didn't you just say you were in the right place?" Zhang Tao asked suspiciously, "Why don't you say anything again?" ”
"Owner, when I say I've found the right place, I mean that the feng shui of this place is like that. But you also watched, I knocked all over here, and there is no hollow place. My hammer is a way-finding hammer, and generally hollow places can make some movement, but here, even this mountain god statue is solid, so you can't put a gun directly inside the house, right? ”
Seeing everyone's somewhat lost expressions, the "ground mouse" also sighed: "Alas, there is no way, let's ask the mountain god to let him tell us where the arms are." It's also strange to say, as soon as the words of this "ground mouse" fell, there was a "click", and a small piece fell from the place where the mountain god statue had been knocked just now, revealing the mud tire inside.
Zhang Tao's eyes lit up, and he strode forward to take a look, it was an ordinary mud tire, nothing unusual, he couldn't help but be disappointed again, and turned around and shook his head at everyone. The "ground mouse" jumped up, picked up the fragments in the ground and looked at it carefully, and then put it on his nose and sniffed: "'Two monkeys', how many years have you said this temple has been?" ”
"I was born before I was born, what's wrong?"
"Hehe, that's right, that's right, that's what happened!" "Earth Mouse" eyes lit up, "This mud tire, it must be less than 10 years old, but this statue is weird." ”
"But how many guns can you hide in here?" Deng Long said with a frown.
"Look, everyone, why is the face of this mountain god blocked?" Tang Xiaoyun said suddenly.
Only then did everyone notice that the face of the statue of the mountain god was covered by a thick layer of spider webs, and it was impossible to see its original face at all. "Earth Mouse" slapped his thigh: "Oh, this is a fairy covering his face, why didn't I see this?" Hurry up, find a longer guy to pick up the cobwebs. ”
The "two monkeys" came back with a long branch, and stirred up the face of the fairy, and finally the appearance of the mountain god was seen by everyone. Zhang Tao, Tang Xiaoyun and the "ground mouse" exclaimed at the same time: "Handsome! It's the appearance of a handsome man! ”
The "ground mouse" was not dumbfounded like everyone else, climbed up to the statue and looked at it carefully: "The handsome eyes are not looking at the temple gate, but looking at the mountain god fork!" Before he could say anything more, several people unloaded the mountain god fork from their hands and laid it flat on the ground.
The "ground mouse" picked up the small hammer again, and after striking it on the big iron fork for a while, pointed to the longest spike in the middle: "Hollow, quick, find a way to unload it." ”
It can be seen that this spike was installed later, and the seams can still be vaguely distinguished, but they have all rusted to death. Several people tried their best, and finally the "ground mouse" knocked the rust open with a small hammer and took the spikes off.
Zhang Tao shook twice, poured out a tight oiled paper bucket inside, and when he opened it, he saw that there were several yellowed sheets of paper in it, all of which were rolled into paper tubes. Zhang Tao looked at it for a long time, but he didn't understand a word, so he had to hand it to Tang Xiaoyun: "Look at what this is, why are they all foreign words?" ”
Tang Xiaoyun looked at a few photos: "This is a bill of lading for arms, there are American and British, I don't know this word, either Italy or Germany, alas, and Japan." There are a lot of them, all of which have been sold and not picked up. ”
"Good boy!" Zhang Tao said in surprise, "It turns out that this is an arsenal, that is, with this bill of lading, you can take out the arms by looking for foreigners?" ”
"Theoretically, this is the case, but no one knows whether the foreigners will cheat, for example, the person who picks up the goods is not the contractor or something, you don't know, the law is in the foreigners, it is a weapon of strong words!" Tang Xiaoyun sighed, "This is what the people are worried about, our task is completed." It's getting dark, hurry, we have to go back. Tang Xiaoyun carefully put away the stack of weapons bills of lading.
"Alas, that's not something we can worry about, at least the devil doesn't want those weapons!" Deng Long shook his head. A few people walked quickly out of the small mountain temple.
But to Zhang Tao's great surprise, the brothers who were guarding outside the door were lying on the ground in all directions, and they had long since lost their breath
"Whoosh!" Before Zhang Tao and the others could understand, the sound of a hidden weapon breaking through the air came to them in an instant. Deng Long dodged left and right, but he was still hit by a dart in the shoulder. The "two monkeys" also hit a dart. Tang Xiaoyun didn't know where to find the money dart in his hand, and kept hitting it, knocking down the hidden weapon that shot at him, barely protecting himself. Zhang Tao dodged a few hidden weapons, and immediately found that five more were shot at his eyebrows, throat, lower abdomen, and left and right chests. It is said that it is not difficult to dodge with Zhang Tao's skills, but he has just dodged a few, and his body has lost his balance, and it is difficult to make a move.
"The owner!" A black shadow rushed over and pounced on Zhang Tao, allowing all five darts to be shot at his back. After Zhang Tao saw the man's face clearly, he couldn't help but shout: "'Earth mouse'! ”
"Ground mouse" couldn't say a word. His face turned a strange blue, and he opened his mouth, blood flowed from his mouth, eyes, nose, and ears, and he died with a tilt of his head.
"Wise people don't do dark things! Who is plotting against me? Get out! Zhang Tao put the corpse of the "ground mouse" on the ground, took out his pistol and fired three shots into the sky.
"Hehe, Japanese ninja. It seems that I can see the living today, so let's come out and see it. Tang Xiaoyun held a star dart unique to Japanese ninjas in his hand, and said slowly.
There was a rustling sound in the grass, and seven or eight ninjas dressed in black appeared in front of them. Zhang Tao was shocked in his heart, now only he and Tang Xiaoyun can fight, Deng Long is poisoned darts, and the only remaining "two monkeys" are next to him. Those ninjas pulled out their swords, but they didn't attack, just looked at Zhang Tao and Tang Xiaoyun coldly.
"Hehe, where are your leaders?" Zhang Tao had an idea, and took out his **** very obviously and shook it, "This is the emperor's imperial chrysanthemum pattern, you don't know it, right?" The ninjas stood there as if they didn't understand.
"Suddenly!" A person floated down from the tree in front of him, but this person was not dressed in a ninja costume, but in a samurai suit, with a face towel covering his face, and two *** in his hands, one long and one short, without handguards.
At this time, Deng Long was already unconscious, and the "two monkeys" saw the culprit appear, shouted and did not speak, and rushed forward with a dagger, but the warrior did not dodge or dodge, and when the blade of the "two monkeys" had reached the top of his head, he suddenly waved his hand, and the long knife held the dagger, and then the short knife waved, and then flew up and kicked the two monkeys back. I saw the "two monkeys" fall to the ground softly, covering their throats with both hands, and making a "gurgling" sound with blood in their mouths. Blood poured from his fingers.
What a fast knife!
Zhang Tao chuckled in his heart, and then checked the injury of the "two monkeys", the wound on the neck was not big, but it just cut the throat, and the technique seemed familiar.
"Bastard!" Zhang Tao was furious, "Bang bang! Three shots were fired in succession, and the samurai's figure shook, but the bullet still opened two holes in his wide clothes.
"There are nine of us, and there are only two of you now, so let's talk." The samurai said without any emotion, "Moreover, we also have guns." As he spoke, the ninjas had a black pistol in their hands.
"What do you want to talk about, I just don't talk about it, do you dare to kill me?" Zhang Tao's pistol was aimed again.
"Senator Zhang, you better save your energy, what if I kill you now, why are you here? Hehe, we're better friends. The masked warrior said slowly.
"You're He Chuan!" Tang Xiaoyun shouted, and while a few ninjas were stunned, he threw out five money darts. She knew that He Chuan could easily dodge it, so she aimed at the ninjas behind her, and the two ninjas fell. He Chuan raised his hand, stopped his subordinates who were about to shoot, and praised: "I really didn't expect that Miss Tang's skills are so good, it's a pity to die here, so I still persuade your cousin." ”
"Mr. Zhang is not a friend enough, and he doesn't look for me when he comes to Xinjing, give me a chance to do my best as a landlord." The samurai said as he pulled down the mask on his face. Sure enough, it's He Chuan!
Zhang Tao also looked like he arched his hand with a smile: "I'm really blessed to have made such a capable friend as you, since you are a friend, open the skylight and say something, who are you and what are you going to do?" ”
"According to your Chinese name, you can still call me He Chuan, but there is one word missing in front, my name is Iga Chuan, and I am the heir of the Iga family. As for why I came to you, you should know. He Chuan shook the knife in his hand as he spoke.
"Oh? What do I know? Does it have anything to do with me? Zhang Tao asked suspiciously.
"We've been keeping an eye on Professor Situ, and you've rescued him. Whatever you come up with here, you'd better leave it to me. He Chuan said with a smile, "If it weren't for the fact that this incident didn't want to alarm the Kwantung Army headquarters, your fate would have been the same as these dead people!" After He Chuan finished speaking, he stared straight into Zhang Tao's eyes.
"Then you mean to kill me if I don't have anything for you?" Zhang Tao asked slowly.
"Hehe, actually, I really don't want to kill you, you are the person I admire the most in Manchuria!" He Chuan was still smiling.
Zhang Tao's mind moved: "Since you say so, don't we have any room for maneuver?" ”
He Chuan still sneered and shook his head.
"Hehe, did you do the 'Gongrong' thing? I killed two people in two minutes, and when I saw Your Excellency make a move today, I believed my cousin's guess! Zhang Tao said.
"Zhang Tao, you are procrastinating for time, this is meaningless, it is better to face reality. Do you still want someone to come and save you? He Chuan quickly saw Zhang Tao's plan clearly.
As if to mock He Chuan's reasoning ability, the sound of box cannon bursts came from the grass behind the ninja. He Chuan and the ninjas behind him didn't expect that someone would really come to save Zhang Tao, and as a result, three ninjas suddenly fell to the ground before they could dodge.
A ghostly figure came out of the grass behind He Chuan, this was the fourth uncle. His two pistols were out of bullets, so he simply pinned the pistols in the waistband of his trousers, and his short stature dodged the knife in the hands of the only remaining ninja, and knocked the pistol in the ninja's hand to the ground with both hands.
"Yaga!" He Chuan rushed towards Zhang Tao with a double knife, the distance was too close, the pistol could no longer play a role, Zhang Tao pulled out the black dagger, and just about to block it, he saw Tang Xiaoyun beside him untie the decorative belt on his tight hunting suit, his hand shook, and the leather scabbard fell to the ground, it was actually a soft sword around his fingers!
With a crisp sound of "ding", the soft sword circled around the long knife that He Chuan was about to split, and the tip of the sword accurately stabbed at the center of He Chuan's eyebrows.
He Chuan hurriedly tilted his head to dodge, and simply pulled the long knife back, seeing that Tang Xiaoyun had entered the attack range, his short knife stabbed Tang Xiaoyun's throat like a poisonous snake, but he was ruthlessly blocked by Zhang Tao, who came sideways, with the dagger in his hand, and with a "dang" sound, the dagger and the short knife collided with sparks, and both sides took two steps back, looking at each other's intact weapons and secretly surprised.
He Chuan was also stunned for a moment, and then reacted, the long knife in his hand was entangled with Tang Xiaoyun's soft sword, he stepped back, and pulled Tang Xiaoyun, who was dragging the sword, to a stumbling one, seeing that Tang Xiaoyun's center of gravity was unstable, he flew up and kicked Tang Xiaoyun's stomach, Tang Xiaoyun's body was in an unbalanced state, and he couldn't hide at all, Zhang Tao and He Chuan each took two steps back, and they couldn't help if they were too far away.
"Poof!" Tang Xiaoyun spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew up accurately before he fell, and kicked He Chuan's wrist, He Chuan's hand was loosened, and the long knife was bounced away by the soft sword, and it was nailed straight to the tall tree. Tang Xiaoyun also had no strength, took several steps back, and fell into Zhang Tao's arms.
In these two rounds, He Chuan changed the situation from two-on-one to one-on-one at the cost of losing the long knife. Zhang Tao was secretly frightened, Tang Xiaoyun's kung fu had been taught by himself, and he fell to the ground in two rounds. couldn't help but look at the fourth uncle. The ninja was holding a long knife, but the fourth uncle was bare-handed, and after a few rounds, the fourth uncle was also seriously injured, and he couldn't count on the fourth uncle's help for a while.
"Yikes!" He Chuan screamed, rushed over with a knife in both hands, Zhang Tao put down Tang Xiaoyun, clenched the dagger in his hand and rushed towards him, when he was still two steps away, he saw He Chuan's shoulder move, knowing that he was going to take out the knife, he flew up and jumped up, and the dagger stabbed He Chuan's left chest.
He Chuan stabbed Zhang Tao's throat, and when the knife came to him, Zhang Tao jumped up, and the thigh exposed in front of his knife did not have the slightest intention of retreating, but the dagger stabbed over.
Zhang Tao actually wanted to fight for his life with his legs!
He Chuan saw Zhang Tao's trick clearly, raised the short knife upwards with his right hand, blocked the dagger, and swept forward with his free left hand, just hitting the vacated thigh. Zhang Tao's dagger was blocked, there was a pain in his leg, his body changed direction and fell to the ground horizontally, hearing the sound of the wind in his ears, he hurriedly rolled continuously. He Chuan's short knife followed, and the tip of the knife rubbed a spark on the ground. "Bang!" Zhang Tao's back hit a big tree. Seeing that the tip of the knife was in front of him, he had no way to retreat.
In a hurry, Zhang Tao barely let his body have some gaps from the ground with his hands and feet, and seeing the knife stabbing under him, Zhang Tao's body sank, just pressing He Chuan's short knife, but he was still injured by the upward blade, and there was a sharp pain in his back.
Now Zhang Tao was busy saving his life, and he didn't dare to care about the injury in his back, so he slashed the dagger down very awkwardly, He Chuan didn't expect his knife to be suppressed, and he was stunned that the dagger had already stabbed at his right wrist. He stepped on Zhang Tao's body with his foot and pulled the knife over desperately, Zhang Tao suddenly felt a cold pain in his back followed by a sharp pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow. He slowed down, and the dagger did not cut He Chuan's tendons and arteries as expected, but only cut a large hole in the back of his hand that was deep and bone-seeing. He Chuan was originally stepping on Zhang Tao to draw the knife, but as soon as he was injured, the knife was pulled out, his body lost his balance, and he took several steps back. Zhang Tao stood up with a carp, but there was a sharp pain in his back, and he involuntarily sat on the ground against the tree again.
"Zhang Jun, can't you stand up?" He Chuan changed the knife from his injured right hand to his left, "Let's consider my suggestion." At the same time, he shook his neck, "It's been a long time since I've fought so happily, I really don't want to kill you, maybe we can use the wooden sword to learn martial arts in the future, and then chat, and drink some hot tea, isn't it much better than fighting for life and death between you and me now?" ”
"Hehe, do you know what kind of Japanese people are good Japanese?" Zhang Tao stood up with difficulty against the tree, and said to He Chuan with a forced smile.
"I would like to hear your high opinion and see if I am a good Japanese that Zhang Jun likes." He Chuan said slowly.
Zhang Tao saw that he was holding a knife in his left hand and hanging down, his right hand was still bleeding, he looked at himself with a smile, and suddenly shouted: "It's the dead Japanese!" As he spoke, he shot the dagger with all his strength. With a flick of his right arm, the wound on his body was involved, and the knife just now had exhausted his strength, Zhang Tao sat on the ground and gasped.
He Chuan didn't expect Zhang Tao to suddenly attack, plus he fought Tang Xiaoyun and Zhang Tao a little bit of strength, his figure flashed, and the dagger was firmly nailed to He Chuan's left shoulder.
"Dangchang!" The dagger fell to the ground with his hand out of his hand.
"Yaga!" He Chuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed over as if he was crazy, and he raised his foot and kicked Zhang Tao's head.
Zhang Tao barely fell to the side to avoid this fatal kick, He Chuan saw that the blow missed, changed to kick to step, and this kick firmly kicked on Zhang Tao's front door.
Zhang Tao felt a bang in his head, and then his eyes turned black, and there was a pain in his nose that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and blood kept gushing out of his nose and mouth.
"Damn the Shina man, say! What exactly did you find? Say it! He Chuan's face was a little distorted, and he stepped Zhang Tao's face as he asked.
Zhang Tao was choked by the blood pouring from his nose into his mouth, and every cough involved the wounds on his face and back, but he was stubborn but did not make any sound.
"Young Master!" When the fourth uncle saw it, he hurriedly shouted, and was just about to come to the rescue, but the ninja rushed over again and scuffled with the fourth uncle with his bare hands.
With a bang, there was an extra bullet hole in the ninja's forehead, and he rolled his eyelids in disbelief, and finally rolled his eyes and fell straight down.
"Iga River, back off!" Tang Xiaoyun took the pistol, braced himself up, and half-lay down on the ground, the muzzle of the black hole flashed with a cold light and pointed at He Chuan.
The fourth uncle also rushed over at this time, and there was faint blood on his left shoulder.
He Chuan slowly retracted the foot that stepped on Zhang Tao's face, and said self-deprecatingly: "It's really time for Miss Tang to be sober. Tang Xiaoyun gritted his teeth and pulled out Zhang Tao's dagger with his injured right hand, and immediately bled profusely.
"Ahem! Cough! Zhang Tao coughed twice and spit out the blood clot that had coagulated in his mouth: "Now it's time for us to talk to you." Give me the antidote on the ground! ”
"Do you think I will?" Although He Chuan said this, he still took out a small porcelain vase with ukiyo-e painted from his arms.
"Here's this, for you." He Chuan's face suddenly showed a sinister smile, and he threw the small porcelain bottle to the ground, and a dazzling light instantly dazzled the eyes of Zhang Tao and the three of them.
Several people hurriedly guarded.
After recovering his eyesight, where is the shadow of He Chuan? Only Zhang Tao's dagger was firmly nailed to the big tree next to his ear, and Zhang Tao was scared into a cold sweat.
The fourth uncle looked around, and there was not even any blood left on the ground when He Chuan escaped, and it seemed that the Japanese ninja's kung fu of escaping was really first-class.
Looking at a few of them again, the fourth uncle's body was marked with eight or nine deep bloody wounds; Zhang Tao had a big cut on his back, and his face was also seriously injured, and it seemed that the bridge of his nose had been broken; Although Tang Xiaoyun came to his senses at the most critical time, he still held his stomach tightly, frowned and whispered**, it seemed that he had suffered internal injuries and could no longer act on his own; There is also a Deng Long, his face is blue, there is only breath in his nose but no breath, He Chuan has not left an antidote, and he can't live when he sees it.
"He Chuan, this little deflated calf really has two hits!" The fourth uncle said while tearing off the strips of cloth on his clothes to bandage Zhang Tao's wounds.
"This time it's my life!" Zhang Tao shook his head and smiled bitterly, and looked back at Tang Xiaoyun, who was seriously injured, "I said, are you okay?" ”
Tang Xiaoyun glared at Zhang Tao and said, "Isn't this still panting?" Listening to your question, it is as if I wish I had something! After speaking, his brows furrowed, and he struggled to sit up, "Zhang Tao, you ...... Let's go see Deng Long, I think it's more auspicious! ”
The wound on Zhang Tao's body was almost bandaged, he picked up the military kettle that the fourth uncle turned out on the devil and poured a big mouthful, and slowly moved it to Deng Long.
The fourth uncle stepped forward to check Deng Long's pulse, then shook his head and sighed: "Alas, no! Another bloody man is just throwing it here! ”
Zhang Tao's tightly knit eyebrows moved, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Deng Long's eyelids move, and then, his eyes opened. His dark lips trembled, and he said laboriously, "Yu is sincere, swearing...... Dedication to the Revolution...... Serve the country ......" Tang Xiaoyun knew that this was the oath of the Fuxing Society, and couldn't help but burst into tears, she read softly "Save the nation from peril ......" Deng Long's voice gradually became smaller, and then his head tilted, and he was silent again.
"Deng Long!" Tang Xiaoyun lowered his head and sighed, and patted Zhang Tao's shoulder, "He's gone!" ”
"Brother, let's go, wait for the little devil He Chuan, he was stabbed by my dagger, and he won't be alive for long!" Zhang Tao said softly as he reached out and closed Deng Long's eyes that were not closed.
The fourth uncle helped Zhang Tao gently put Deng Long's body on the ground, looked up at Zhang Tao, and asked, "Young master, what now?" ”
"Well, what can I do? I can only spend the night here, and I have to let the wolf dig it out of the mountain overnight. Zhang Tao looked at Tang Xiaoyun, who couldn't stand up yet, "This barren mountain and wild mountain, we can only deal with it temporarily." ”
The fourth uncle nodded helplessly, and helped Tang Xiaoyun and Zhang Tao to lean against a big tree.
It was already late at night, and in this inaccessible ravine, the biting cold wind blew, making the three people who were seriously injured and whose physical strength had dropped to the peak involuntarily leaning together.
And Tang Xiaoyun didn't seem to be lightly injured, and he fell into a deep coma after a while, and just lay in Zhang Tao's arms.
"Oh no, it's starting to cool down, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that if we survive tonight, we won't be able to go down the mountain tomorrow!" Zhang Tao sighed, looked at the stars in the sky and said, "I didn't expect that when I came to this job, I didn't even have anyone to help!" ”
"Hahaha! Who's to say there's no one to help, haven't I come? A hearty laugh came from the woods. Then a figure of a man appeared in front of the three of them, he was wearing a police uniform!
Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment, and gave the fourth uncle a look, and the fourth uncle secretly clenched the pistol. The man walked over generously, and at the same time a dozen more people came out of the woods.
Zhang Tao and the fourth uncle saw the person clearly, and then let out a long breath, Zhang Tao said with a smile: "We really have fate, we met again so soon, shouldn't you follow the train to Harbin?" ”
"Hahaha, thanks to you, I got off in Xinjing because of the murder of a foreign reporter. Hehe, I assisted the gendarmes to find the secret documents, and I was promoted. Isn't that looking for you everywhere to drink? Wang Gang tilted his shoulders very prominently, and sure enough, there was one more Doudou on his shoulder, and then he looked around and said, "Let's go, let's go down the mountain." Your driver is still waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain. ”
As soon as Zhang Tao's spirit relaxed, he suddenly felt that the world was spinning, his eyes were black, and he immediately fainted.
By the time Zhang Tao came to his senses, it was already noon the next day. His body has been properly bandaged with gauze. The fourth uncle and Wang Gang were chatting in front of his bed, and when they saw that he was awake, the fourth uncle brought over a bowl of ginseng soup and gave it to Zhang Tao to drink.
Zhang Tao said with a smile: "Thank you Sheriff Wang for saving me!" ”
Wang Gang also laughed: "It's still too late, I heard the fourth uncle say that He Chuan is powerful enough, not to mention the kung fu, and he deceived us all." ”
Zhang Tao's mind moved: "By the way, where did Tang Xiaoyun go?" ”
Wang Gang lit a cigarette and frowned: "As soon as she came back, she was picked up by their people, and this time the Fuxing Society lost more than a dozen top players, which can be regarded as a heavy casualty!" ”
Zhang Tao's heart moved, lit the cigarette handed over by Wang Gang and smoked: "By the way, how did you find us?" ”
"Actually, we are also investigating some Japanese ninjas who secretly came to Xinjing, and we followed them, but I didn't expect to be dumped by them, and I was late for a while!" Wang Gang sighed and said.
After a pause, Wang Gang took a puff of cigarette and continued: "We have buried Deng Long's body, and we have also heard some things about the arsenal. As he spoke, he quietly watched Zhang Tao stop talking.
"But alas, it's just a blank check!" Zhang Tao shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
Wang Gang didn't ask again, just nodded and said: "Well, if it can't be used by the people, it definitely can't be cheap for Japanese imperialism!" Then the conversation changed: "What is Mr. Zhang's next step?" ”
"The night is long and there are many dreams, so go back to the shore immediately and find something to extinguish the fire." Zhang Tao slammed his fist on the bed.
Wang Gang's expression became solemn: "We just got the news that Comrade Zhang Laicai from the Binhai Transportation Station has been arrested!" ”
Although Zhang Tao had been mentally prepared for a long time, he still felt a tightness in his heart: "Do you know what the situation is now?" ”
Wang Gang sighed, shook his head, and said: "The news is very tightly blocked, and the interrogation is not allowed to participate in the Chinese, and it is all Qingchuan's calf who came personally, let alone rescued." ”
Zhang Tao's brows condensed into a big pimple, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that this time it is more auspicious." By the way, do you have any news about He Chuan, is he in a group with other devils? ”
Wang Gang smiled: "It shouldn't be, it is estimated that their sect wants to expand its own power, so they can get the arms thing." Moreover, we get the exact news that he is dead. ”
"It's good to be dead, I'll go back to the shore immediately."
Wang Gang said worriedly: "Then your injury ......"
Zhang Tao said with a big grin: "It's okay, I can't die." As long as I return to the coast, even the military police headquarters that smashes devils don't have to do it myself. Then he turned back to the fourth uncle and said, "Tell Xiao Wang that the sooner you buy train tickets and pack your things, the better." ”
Wang Gang stood up and clasped his hands into fists: "Then thank you, Mr. Zhang." ”
Zhang Tao hurriedly supported himself and sat up half of his body: "If you are like this, you will be an outsider, and the shopkeeper Zhang is also my friend, isn't he?" ”
Wang Gang nodded and took out a stack of papers from his pocket: "Then you just hurry up and take a break, I won't bother, if you have anything you need us to do, just find Xiao Wang." As he spoke, he put the paper he was holding in his hand on the head of Zhang Tao's bed, "Mr. Zhang will take a look when he has time." Be careful not to let the enemy see it, destroy it after reading it, I take my leave. With that, he strode out of the room.
Zhang Tao motioned to the fourth uncle to lock the door, slowly opened the paper in his hand, and several big characters of "Letter to All Compatriots for Resisting Japan and Saving the Country" came into view:
Men and women from all walks of life in the fields of industry, agriculture, military, politics, business, and science at home and abroad!
Japanese imperialism stepped up its attack on us, Nanjing betrayed the country and surrendered step by step, and our northern provinces actually perished after the four northeastern provinces!
Pingjin, which has a cultural history of thousands of years, the provinces of Zhizhi, Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan, which have infinite wealth, the Chacha and Sui regions, which are of the most important strategic significance, and the railways of Beining, Pinghan, Jinpu, and Pingsui, which have the political and economic lifelines of the whole country, are now actually completely under the control of the Japanese army. The Kwantung Thief Army Command is actively implementing the plan to create the so-called "Mongolia" and "North China". Since the "918" incident in the 20th year of the Republic of China, from the three eastern provinces to Rehe, from Rehe to the Great Wall fortress, from the Great Wall to the "Luandong African Theater", from the non-theater to the actual occupation of Hebei, Chacha, Sui, and the northern provinces, in less than four years, almost half of the mountains and rivers have been occupied and invaded by the Japanese invaders. Tanaka's poisonous plan for the complete destruction of our country, which was predetermined by Tanaka Soo, is being carried out; In the long run, the Yangtze River and Pearl River basins and other places will gradually be swallowed up by the Japanese invaders. Our 5,000-year-old country will be completely conquered, and 40,000,000 of our compatriots will become slaves.
In recent years, our country and our nation have been at a critical juncture of life and death. Resisting Japan will live, not resisting Japan will die, and resisting Japan to save the country has become the sacred duty of every compatriot!
……
Territory after province has been encroached upon, tens of millions of people have been enslaved, cities and villages have been bloodied one after another, overseas Chinese have been expelled one after another, and all internal and foreign affairs have been interfered with everywhere. What kind of nation can this be!
Fellow citizens! China is our motherland! The Chinese nation is all our compatriots! Can we sit idly by and watch the nation perish and not rise up to save the country and save ourselves?
……
Compatriots rise up!
Fight for the life of the Motherland!
Fight for the survival of the nation!
Fight for the independence of the country!
Fight for territorial integrity!
Fight for human rights and freedoms!
Long live the great unity of the great Chinese nation to resist Japan and save the country!

Central Committee of the Communist Party of China
August 1, 1935
"Good!" Zhang Tao finished reading it in one breath, couldn't help but applaud loudly, looked at the fourth uncle's puzzled expression, and handed him the "August 1st Declaration" in his hand.
The fourth uncle muttered while watching: "There is salvation, there is salvation." If you do what you say, you will be saved! As he spoke, his hands couldn't help but tremble with excitement, "Don't say anything else, let's go back and fish out the shopkeeper." ”
