The small western-style building is a small courtyard connected to the compound of the Four Seas Hotel. There is a small bungalow on the second floor in the courtyard. Usually no guests are received, only Zhang Tao and the fourth uncle live here when they come. Then there are some Japanese who come to the town to live in small western-style houses, and the housing prices are expensive.

Zhang Tao took the fourth uncle and Huaihua into the small western-style building, which was already brightly lit, and a few young men were hurriedly tidying up the already very clean bedroom. Zhang Tao saw that the guys had gone out, and said to the acacia flower who was staring at him: "Girl, don't get me wrong, I invited you here to let you recognize someone, as long as you meet, you can come and go freely whether you know each other or not." As he spoke, he loosened the tie for the acacia flower.

Huaihua didn't seem to hear his words, after moving her muscles and bones, she turned around and faced Zhang Tao without warning, Zhang Tao hurriedly dodged and overturned the tea table next to him: "I said why did you do it as soon as you came up?" Zhang Tao dodged left and right, "I didn't say it, I just let you recognize someone, I don't want to do anything to you!" ”

Huaihua's offensive did not decrease at all, and after being blocked by Zhang Tao, he gritted his teeth and said: "The traitor can't live, today there is me without you, there is you without me!" ”

Zhang Tao was scolded, but he was secretly happy in his heart, and he was more and more sure that he had found the right person, and he was just about to open his mouth to say something, when the door suddenly slammed open and a person rushed in. This person is more than 1.8 meters tall, covered in horizontal flesh, dressed in a well-dressed silk sweatshirt, carrying a large box in his hand, a pair of fierce triangular eyes, and a long scar on the left side of his face, and his face is particularly hideous. The big man was extremely strong, he slammed open the door without slowing down at all, rushed up with an arrow step, blocked in front of Zhang Tao, received a heavy punch but didn't even shake his body, and grabbed Huaihua's wrist as soon as he raised his hand. As soon as Dahan opened his mouth, his voice was like thunder: "What are you doing, dare to do it with our host?" "My eyes widened, but I saw the appearance of the girl in front of me clearly." Miss, are you Miss? He stood on the ground in a daze, his hand suddenly released, his breathing became short, and the flesh on his face trembled.

Zhang Tao had a chance to breathe, waved his hand and called the few guys who rushed in to withdraw, and said with a smile: "'Big scar', this girl has a plum blossom mole on the back of her neck, it's the person you are looking for!" ”

"Plop!" The huge body of the big man called "Big Scar" knelt down stiffly: "Miss, I can find you!" Before he finished a sentence, he couldn't stop crying.

"'Big Scar', who the hell is she?" Zhang Tao asked suspiciously.

"Uncle Bolt, what's wrong with my father? How could a regiment of men and horses disappear overnight? Huaihua ignored Zhang Tao, knelt down with a plop, hugged a "big scar" that kowtowed, and tears flowed down as if the thread was broken.

"Miss, the head of the regiment, he let the only son of the traitor be sold, more than 1,600 brothers, if you don't say it's gone, it's gone. ...... that night"

In the intermittent narration of "The Big Scar", Zhang Tao learned that Huaihua's real name was Liu Zhange and that he was studying in Beiping. Her father, Colonel Liu Hu, was originally Zhang Dashuai's personal guard adjutant, but in the Huanggutun incident, he escaped by not returning to Fengtian with Dashuai because of official duties. Liu Hu refused the young marshal's retention and left the marshal's mansion to become a regiment commander.

Soon, this regiment became a well-known tiger regiment under Liu Hu's **, and took "killing devils, sacrificing the marshal, not disturbing the people, and really resisting Japan" as the slogan. Zhang Xueliang was also very kind to this regiment commander who had watched him grow up since he was a child, and before the "September 18" incident, all arms and equipment imported from abroad were given priority to this regiment. On the eve of the "918" incident, the combat effectiveness of this 1,600-strong regiment with imported equipment was actually close to that of a wing of the Kwantung Army.

"'Nine-one-eight', which calf who gave birth to a son and didn't grow ** ordered not to resist. Our regiment didn't care about the bird's order, it was stuck in Jinzhou, not letting the devil go south, the regiment commander led us to the handsome to wear filial piety to fight the devil, the battle lasted for two days and two nights, enjoyable! The thoughts of "Big Scar" returned to the war-torn Jinzhou, and wiped a handful of tears violently, "The devil's gun is not as fast as our gun, how can that crooked handle be compared with our Czech." We were condescending again, killing him for a whole day, killing six or seven hundred little devils. The next day, the little devil learned to be a traitor, and first got into an armored car, but we have Italian anti-aircraft artillery. The five or six cars that beat the dog didn't dare to get on it, and they changed their tactics to fight gas bombs. Hehe, God takes care of us, the wind has changed. ”

"Then why did you lose?" Zhang Tao asked suspiciously.

"Big Scar" turned dark, "When it was dark, a group of defeated soldiers of the Northeast Army went up the mountain from behind, saying that they were scattered and wanted to join us to fight devils." The leader was a major general, who knew our regimental commander. When we saw our team, we happily welcomed them into battle. Who knows, who knows that except for the major general, the soldiers in the back are all in Kwantung military uniforms. At that time, there was chaos in the regiment. The little devil also ambushed the ninjas inside, 6 battalion commanders, 5 were hacked to death in the blink of an eye, and the chief of staff was also benevolent. The regiment commander and I relied on our efforts to retreat to the second-line position, and the regiment commander asked me to break through with the guard company, and I would not die. The regiment commander gave me 3 tasks, one is to leave some seeds for the Tiger Regiment, the second is to take care of the eldest lady, and the third is to bring out the roster in the regiment and tell those military families that their children died on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and there is no misseed! ”

"For 4 years, I have been telling them door to door! Today, the eldest lady is the last, the eldest lady, you made me look so hard. That's the roster. "Big Scar" trembled and took out a small book that had been rolled up from his arms, "Miss, the old wolf battalion of Little Black Mountain is the handbook of the remaining brothers in the regiment, Miss go find them, the leader is the deputy chief of staff of the regiment, Major Liu Yingyuan." ”

"After my father and the brothers in the regiment left, you became a traitor?" Huaihua's face was full of tears, but her eyes were red.

"Big Scar" didn't react at once: "Miss, who is a traitor?" ”

"Aren't you a traitor?" Huaihua stretched out her hand and pointed, almost poking it on the face of the "big scar".

"Big Scar" jumped up in panic: "Miss, you can't talk nonsense!" When did I become a traitor? ”

Huaihua stood up with a sneer, gritted her teeth and asked, "You are not a traitor, why do you want to work for a traitor?" He stared at Zhang Tao viciously, and fire erupted from his eyes.

"Big Scar" turned his head to look at Zhang Tao, only then did he react, and just about to open his mouth to defend himself, Zhang Tao stepped forward: "Miss Liu, you say I'm a traitor?" Staring into the eyes of the acacia flower, he said word by word, "I-no-yes!" ”

Huaihua's eyes gave birth to hooks, and she stared at the Japanese-Manchurian goodwill badge on Zhang Tao's clothes: "Why are you wearing a traitor's skin if you're not a traitor?" ”

Zhang Tao tore off the badge on his chest and threw it on the ground: "Lao Tzu took off this skin to 'kill all directions'!" ”

"Killing the Eight Directions" is a legendary figure, and he is also a bearded head within a radius of 100 miles. Three years ago, the "Kill the Eight Directions" led more than 200 people to the temporary field hospital of the devils, and even the wounded and military doctors killed more than 100 devils, and they themselves fell into the heavy siege of the Japanese soldiers who rushed to reinforce them, and the Japanese claimed to have killed the "Kill the Eight Directions". But since then, there have often been individual devils and traitors who have been assassinated, and there is a note on the corpse: "Whoever kills this person, 'kill all directions'." Since then, "killing the eight directions" has become a god, and some people say that "killing the eight directions" is not dead at all, and they have broken through. Some say that "killing the eight directions" is the reincarnation of killing gods, with three heads, six arms and nine lives, and everything is said. Although the Japanese pursued them with all their might, there was no clue to "kill the eight directions", only the devils and traitors died in the hands of the "killing the eight directions".

Looking at Huaihua's surprised appearance, "Big Scar" hurriedly said: "Miss, the owner is really a man who kills devils, and since the year before last, he has reported the vine of 'killing all directions'." I and a few of my brothers who killed devils are all taken care of by the owner, so you can stay in the future. ”

Huaihua looked at Zhang Tao puzzled: "Are you a beard?" ”

"It's not." Zhang Tao shook his head.

"Anti-Union?"

"I can't bear the bitterness of eating tree bark."

Huaihua's face turned cold: "How do you prove that you are 'killing all directions'?" ”

Zhang Tao walked out without saying a word, ran into the carriage in three or two steps, took out a small box and carried it back to the house, opened it and saw that it was a black night coat, a mask, a snowy dagger, and a paper bag. Zhang Tao opened the paper bag, and inside was a Japanese document - "Ruixian County ** Consultant Maruyama Shota". Pressed underneath the document was a bloody human ear. Zhang Tao looked at the pale acacia flower: "Is this enough?" I still have to thank him, if I hadn't inserted him and went into the city to hide from the wind, I wouldn't have met you. Now it's time for you to talk about how you got to Old Man Huang's house. ”

Huaihua's eyes were confused: "Although North China is big, it can't accommodate a desk, and I can't go to class anymore, I've been running around to inquire about my father's news, and I can't see anyone alive or dead." As soon as he returned to his hometown, he was tied up at his house by the surnamed Huang, and it was only two days, and he was about to find a chance to escape, when he ran into you. ”

"Miss, you will have a settlement in the future, and I will be relieved." "Big Scar" said, turning his head to Zhang Tao, "Dongjia, following you for a year and a half, it is the happiest time for my Wang Shuzi, follow you to fight devils, it's enjoyable!" In the future, you have to pay attention to your own safety, and take a little bit of Uncle Fourth with you wherever you go. Also, can you help me go to Yushutun, 30 miles away from here, and bury Mrs. Wang? Yesterday, I went to tell the old man the news of her grandson's death, and after I left, the old lady put on clean clothes, got some dirt somewhere, buried it in an egg basket and went into the city. When the devil in the city gate building searched and inspected, the old lady lit the ** with a cigarette pouch and pot, the old lady is 76 this year, woo woo woo ...... "Big Scar" took a heavy breath and stopped sobbing, "Senator Zhang, please, 'Big Scar' kowtow to you." As he spoke, he lay on the ground and knocked his head several times.

Zhang Tao heard that his voice was wrong, and secretly clenched the teacup in his hand. Sure enough, as Zhang Tao expected, the "big scar" looked up to the sky and roared: "Regiment leader, brothers in life and death, my task is complete, I will go to find you, give me a way!" With a shake of his shoulder, a small Browning pistol slipped from the cuff and fell into his hand, and "Big Scar" did not hesitate to put the barrel into his mouth.

Zhang Tao shook his hand and threw out the teacup, knocked the pistol away, and his face turned cold: "What are you going to do?" Don't take revenge? ”

"Revenge? Yes, I have to get revenge! "Big Scar" sat down on the ground.

"The old lady knows that she will die with the little devil, and you want to use a gun to kill yourself as a big man? You're still not my father's soldier! Huaihua stepped forward to hug the "big scar" and scolded loudly with tears on her face.

The shopkeeper "Human Sperm" held a pistol in his hand, and had been guarding the door with the fourth uncle to listen to the movement, and then pushed the door and came in: "The owner, the food is here." In a flash, a few young men brought up stewed roe deer meat with vermicelli, fried pickle strips with pheasant cubs, stewed carp, and a plate of pickled duck eggs that were still dripping with oil. The staple food is lamb and celery dumplings and fragrant gruel boiled with fresh bud rice. Of course, lettuce dipping sauce and Zhang Tao's favorite ten-mile fragrant roast are also indispensable.

Zhang Tao and the fourth uncle nibbled on some dry food at noon, and Huaihua didn't eat for a day, and several people were already hungry with their chests and backs. The sensible young man put some garlic sauce in the bowls of several people, and another shared a bowl of porridge, poured the wine and withdrew.

"Come on, come on, let's eat something first." After Zhang Tao finished speaking, he picked up a dumpling and dipped it in garlic sauce and swallowed it whole, so hot that his mouth "hissed" several times before swallowing it, and quickly drank a mouthful of fish soup and smoothed it out.

Several people sat around and devoured food, Zhang Tao raised his wine glass: "Come on, come on, start drinking when you're almost done, this first glass of wine ......"

Before the words fell, gunshots broke out outside the window......

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Let's hook!" "Let's hook!" "Bang!" "Let's hook!"

Dense gunfire rang out without warning, interrupting Zhang Tao's toast.

Zhang Tao reflexively bounced up and turned off the light.

"There are short guns, and there are three or eight big covers!" "Big Scar" carefully discerned the gunshots.

"It seems that someone is on fire with the devil." The fourth uncle pulled out the double guns on his waist, "Sounds like it's coming to us." ”

"'Big Scar', Fourth Uncle and I go to the rooftop, Miss Liu must not come out in the house!" Zhang Tao grabbed the pistol and gave a decisive order.

"The owner!" The shopkeeper rushed up with a horse card in his hand, followed by four or five guys with three or eight big covers.

"'Human sperm', you and a few guys are guarding Miss Liu, don't let anything happen to her!" Zhang Tao held the revolver in one hand and walked out with the **** in the other.

"Big Scar" handed his little Browning to Huaihua: "Will it be used?" ”

"Browning, I can use it, when I was a child, the young marshal took me to shoot birds with it. Zhang Tao, I'll go too! Sophora took the pistol and followed.

"Don't mess around!" Zhang Tao shouted without looking back, and Huaihua immediately stopped and didn't move.

The rooftop of the small building was able to cover the entire street of firepower, and I saw a few people in tattered miners' costumes running in front of them, in the direction of the Four Seas Hotel, and these people turned around and shot the dozens of devils chasing them behind as they ran.

"Give!" Zhang Tao handed the revolver in his hand to the "big scar".

"Young master, keep it for yourself, I have a guy, hehe!" "Big Scar" opened his big box, which was impressively an American gangster standard equipment, a 100-round drum "Chicago Typewriter" Thomson large-caliber ***.

"Thanks to this guy, otherwise what would you have entertained the little devil. Senator Zhang, let's fight. The "big scar" is good**, and the murderous anger in his eyes is rising.

"Wait, something is wrong. Why did these two groups fight for so long, and there was no one hanging flowers. Zhang Tao observed for a while and said calmly.

"This group of little devils has bad eyes, Senator Zhang, if you don't make a move, these are enough to choke, listen, there is the sound of a motorcycle, it must be the crooked trick of the little devil is coming." The "big scar" eyes widened, and his fingers hooked on the trigger.

"Yours, those who can't escape, those who surrender 'work', the Kwantung Army gives great preferential treatment." Seeing that the devil was getting closer and closer, he shouted to those people.

Those people ran out of breath, and they were less than 100 meters away from the small western-style building. The leader returned his hand and shot at the devil and shouted: "The anti-Lian would rather die than be a prisoner, the Kwantung Army asked us to surrender, and there was no door." ”

Zhang Tao's eyes lit up, smiled slightly, and said to the "big scar" and the fourth uncle: "It's strange that people have to die, they are all in a gang." ”

"Don't make a mistake about the owner, you ruined the brothers of the Anti-Japanese Federation." "Big Scar" was so anxious that the scar on his face jumped and jumped.

"What do you call those Japanese soldiers?" The fourth uncle asked coldly.

"Little devil! Well? I almost fooled my grandfather. Senator Zhang, which gang to fight? "Big Scar" spat hard and picked up his machine gun.

"Whoever is close will fight whichever gang is close, don't fight the leader." Zhang Tao raised his eyebrows and aimed at an enemy.

"Bump Bump!" The Chicago typewriter rang cheerfully, and immediately brought down the two "anti-unions".

"Da Da Da!" "Da Da Da!" The mirror box in the fourth uncle's hand was adjusted to burst shots, and two point shots knocked down two.

"Bang!" Another "anti-union" bloomed a blood flower between his eyebrows.

"Bang bang bang!" The lead agent was shot in each leg and screamed like a pig, rolling on the ground. Zhang Tao poked the "big scar" with his elbow, and the "big scar" opened his loud voice and shouted: "Listen to the people below, we are from the Zhang Senate of Hamashima, and the imperial army has come to Manchuria to build this royal paradise, don't resist, surrender immediately!" The Imperial Army leaves you a way to live! ”

Zhang Tao was overjoyed when he heard it, held back his laughter, and leaned into the ear of "Big Scar": "If you talk one thing at a time, you have the potential to be a traitor, and you have development!" ”

"Big Scar" Yin and Yang said weirdly: "Follow the number one young traitor in the Northeast all day long, can you still learn something!" One sentence choked Zhang Tao and rolled his eyes.

"Don't make a fuss, the devil is coming. The young master should go out to meet him. The fourth uncle said in a low voice.

The devils of the brigade surrounded 5 corpses and half a living person, and 3 motorcycles with crooked machine guns on the dump bucket suddenly drove over.

"Fourth Uncle come with me, the 'big scar' is guarding here, be smart." Zhang Tao patted the shoulder of the "big scar" and walked out with the fourth uncle. Zhang Tao wore a pair of white trousers, white and brown Italian leather shoes, and a well-made silk shirt with a strap hanging from it, completely looking like a fashionable playboy. If you don't carry a silver-white **** in your hand.

A devil officer jumped down from the motorcycle that hit the head, this devil Shaozuo had a quiet face, there was no nasty Ren Danhu on his lips, his hair was combed neatly, his trousers were straight, his gloves were snow-white, and there was a layer of cold frost on his emaciated face.

"Who should I be, it turned out to be Qingchuan Shaozuo, you came here from Jinzhou for these little thieves, it's really hard." Zhang Tao stretched out his hand and took out a cigarette, and the fourth uncle who followed behind hurriedly stepped forward to light it.

"Senator Zhang, I didn't expect to meet you here. We have followed the traces of this 'killing all directions' all the way to here. Shao Zuo's eyes narrowed, and he spoke Mandarin very fluently.

Zhang Tao's heart moved, but he said: "There is no way, it's just my life, how dare I not do a good job in the business of the Black Dragon Society." You just said 'kill the eight directions', and this 'killing the eight directions' has appeared again? ”

"The appearance of Ruixian kills, and Maruyama-kun is killed. These people are the key criminals of the imperial army, Senator Zhang has all been killed, there is no one alive, and my errand is not easy to handle! Qingchuan took the "three five" handed over by Zhang Tao, lit and spit out a smoke ring.

Suspect that I am fighting for the United Nations? Well, you blame me for being unjust. The corners of Zhang Tao's mouth rose slightly, and his eyes turned to his heart.

Qingchuan Shaozo squinted at Zhang Tao while smoking a cigarette.

Zhang Tao shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Where did Shaozuo say this, how can I not leave a living mouth for your special high-tech department?" As he spoke, he squatted down in front of the "living mouth" who was lying on the ground and pretended to be dead, and viciously poked the muzzle of the gun into the wound on his body, stirring it violently.

"Oh my god!" The guy got up with a scream, and the dead came back to life.

"Don't call, let me ask you, did you kill Taijun in Rui County. You have to be honest! Zhang Tao bit the word "truth" very hard, and added a little strength to his hand.

The hapless spy didn't hear what he was saying at all, and the huge pain made him nod instinctively: "Yes, yes, spare my life, in fact, I am ......"

"Bang!" The spy had an extra bullet hole in his forehead, and the blood splattered Zhang Tao's body.

Zhang Tao pretended to be angry and stood up and turned his head, looking at Qingchuan Shaozuo's muzzle still smoking from the muzzle, and pretended to be surprised and said, "Qingchuan, what do you mean?" He has already confessed that he is the murderer of the Imperial Army, and I was about to ask if he had any accomplices, but you killed him. This bastard, I was seen doing things in the car when I was inspected, and it was too cheap for him to die. ”

"Of course the murderers of the Imperial Army must die!" Harukawa slowly withdrew his pistol.

"Okay, I'll call Kubotaro tomorrow morning and ask how Tekoko should treat the captured anti-Japanese elements. It's so unlucky, splashed with blood. Zhang Tao turned around and walked into the courtyard, stopped after just two steps, turned back to Qingchuan, and handed over the pistol, "There is blood in the chamber of the gun, find your armory to clean it up, we don't dare to mess with the treasure given by the prince." By the way, you've got to hurry, I'm still pointing at it for self-defense. Whether Harukawa agreed or not, he shoved the silver-white pistol into Harukawa's hand and turned to leave.

Qingchuan was carrying Zhang Tao's pistol in his hand, staring at his back with the corners of his mouth twitching, gritting his teeth and saying word by word: "Your Excellency, your help will be remembered by Tegaoke, and it will be repaid in the future!" Seeing that Zhang Tao didn't look back, he flashed into the small western-style building with the fourth uncle, and said to the devil soldiers behind him with a dark face: "Send a report to Kubo Daisa, the tentative operation failed......"

Zhang Tao returned to the room and saw that Huaihua had washed her face and changed her clothes, a half-new student dress was particularly suitable for her, and two white lotus-like calves were exposed under the blue skirt, which made Zhang Tao's eyes straight.

"I don't see it, the big hero still has the ability of a detective!" Huaihua smiled, revealing two cute little dimples.

Zhang Tao originally wanted to show off himself and Huaihua, looking at the grinning "big scar", he had the heart to go up and smoke him. "Big Scar" saw Zhang Tao glaring at him, smirked heartlessly, and scratched his head with his hand: "What, I'm hungry, eat, eat." ”

The meal had been reheated, and the "human sperm" shopkeeper was also on the wine table. It was originally a hot and humid weather in summer, and the small soju was like a line of fire burning all the way from the throat to the stomach, sweating all the way to the body, and the ceiling fan on the ceiling blew on the body, which was indescribably cool and comfortable. I drank too much wine, talked more, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer.

"It's really enjoyable, Qingchuan's mongrel's face is so angry that it has all kinds of colors, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple." Zhang Tao took a big bite of roe deer meat.

"The young master has passed a little today, and everyone has been killed, why are you still deliberately angry with that Qingchuan." The fourth uncle said slowly.

"He calculates Lao Tzu, and he still doesn't want Lao Tzu to be angry with him?" Zhang Tao took a sip of wine nonchalantly.

"The owner, Tegaoke won't suffer such a big loss for nothing, maybe there will be some kind of moth, be careful recently." "Human sperm" also agrees with the fourth uncle's opinion.

As soon as they said it, Zhang Tao also felt that he was a little too much, but his strong donkey temper couldn't admit his mistake, so he immediately changed the topic: "Huaihua, you said you know the young marshal?" ”

"Well, my father used to be a handsome guard, my mother went early, and my father was busy, so he had to put me in the barracks. The young marshal was 10 years older than me, and at that time he was still in school and in the barracks, and he slowly got to know each other, and sometimes they played together. If I see Brother Han Qing now, I just want to ask him why he left my father alone in Dahu Mountain. As he spoke, he lowered his head, and his eyes turned red.

"Alas, the young marshal doesn't say everything." Zhang Tao, who is well-versed in all directions, still has a little hearing of these insider stories, picked up a small wine cup and raised it to everyone, he dried it first, and said with a sigh of emptiness: "Huaihua, I have thought about it, you can't go back to the Senate with me." ”

"You hate me so much?" Huaihua was unhappy and nu pouted.

"No, you listen to me." Zhang Tao hurriedly explained, "The old wolf camp is the seed of the Tiger Regiment, someone has to take the lead, you are the daughter of Captain Zhang, even if you don't stay often, you have to show up, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, Chief of Staff Liu and the brothers don't know how happy they are to see the eldest lady." "Big Scar" rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"At least you have to avoid the limelight first, and the devil will soon find out about Miss Liu's line." The fourth uncle said slowly.

"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow at dawn!" Huaihua bit her teeth, "Isn't it just to be a beard, just to avenge my father!" ”
