Chapter Seventy-Seven: Liaison Station No. 6

Wuchengfang is a slum area in Wangjing City. Messy streets, dilapidated houses, dirty pavement. Even the air was filled with the unpleasant smell of rotten vegetable leaves mixed with all kinds of rotten matter.

The No. 6 liaison station of Jinyiwei in the city is located in the middle of a dilapidated house to the east of Wuchengfang. From the outside, the gray house at Liaison Station 6 and the equally dilapidated courtyards around it were almost unusual. It was a street-facing house, and a cracked white wooden board hung from the door, with a black seal on it telling passers-by that it was a flour mill.

At this time, it is close to the dawn of the Buddha. From time to time, the crowing of a rooster came from all around.

Luo Shiyin and the others got rid of the siege of the Japanese ninjas and came to the door of the No. 6 liaison station.

Lou Dahe walked forward and knocked on the door. After a while, a middle-aged man in ragged clothes walked out of it, he was the person in charge of the liaison station here, his name was Sun Qing, and he was a lieutenant in the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard in North Korea.

Seeing a group of strangers behind Lou Dahe, a trace of alertness flashed in Sun Qing's eyes.

"My own people." Lou Dahe whispered.

Sun Qing hurriedly let everyone into the house.

The room was littered with freshly processed flour. On the broken table near the north wall, there were disheveled abacus, paper and pencils, and other utensils.

At this time, Fang Shank also hurried over, he introduced Luo Shiyin into the suite on the east side to rest, and reported the battle situation to Luo Shiyin by the way.

In this battle, a total of seven cavalry of the Jinyi Guard were killed and six were wounded.

At the same time as Fang Shan's report to Luo Shiyin, in the suite on the west side, Ye Ruliu, Xie Yuan, Li Ruzhu, and Shang Ji were bandaging the wounds of the injured Shi Lang, Shi Tianji, Lou Dahe, and Wu Huan.

Shi Lang was the most seriously injured. Due to the poison of the ninja's darts, Shi Lang's wounds have begun to swell and blacken. Ye Ruliu gently helped Shi Lang to sit on a small stool, exposed the wound, and then took out the vial given by Mieko Kato from Shi Lang's pocket.

"Is this thing reliable?" Looking at Ye Ruliu unscrewing the cap of the bottle, Xie Yuan asked with some doubts.

"Don't worry, it's absolutely fine." Ye Ruliu said.

"But why would a Japanese ninja help us break through?" Shi Lang was puzzled.

"You haven't seen it yet, people like you to save you." Ye Ruliu said with some vinegar while applying the medicinal powder to Shi Lang's wound.

"How can I smell vinegar in this room." Shi Lang heard the change in Ye Ruliu's tone, he was a little disapproving, so he made a joke about Ye Ruliu.

"It's not just vinegar, it's spicy." Ye Ruliu saw that Shi Lang was making fun of himself, and raised his hand coquettishly to hit Shi Lang, but suddenly thought that Shi Lang had just been injured, and his raised hand stopped in the air and did not fall.

"I said big sister, don't be reluctant, hit hard." Shi Tianji, who was sitting on the side, saw this scene and opened his mouth to join in the fun.

"Lao Shi, can you be honest, you see the wound I just bandaged for you, so that your excitement broke away again." Xie Yuan was helping Shi Tianji bandage his wounds, and when he saw Shi Tianji sitting restless, he blamed.

"Brother Xie Yuan, you just need to tie me up indiscriminately, you don't need to be careful." Shi Tianji was a little indifferent to his injuries.

"I don't know if you have noticed that this female ninja is the little girl I met at Yingshu Station that day." Ye Ruliu couldn't figure out if everyone could see the face of the female ninja at that time, so he said.

"It seems like something. But I didn't see it too clearly at the time. Shi Tianji said.

"It's a bit like, it's her." Xie Yuan said.

"yes, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw her." Shi Lang said.

"I think you're tempted by others." Ye Ruliu said sourly.

"This ...... How is this possible. A Japanese ninja, isn't that a joke! Shi Lang disagreed.

"I'll tell you about it." Ye Ruliu looked at Shi Lang's serious face, and felt a lot more relieved, she continued: "However, I am still grateful to her for her ability to bravely rescue you and help us out of the siege." You know, if she does this, if her boss sees out, then she will be punished. ”

"yes, I don't know what this female ninja thinks." Shi Tianji said.

"Okay, Lao Shi, don't bring up this topic again." Xie Yuan caught a glimpse of Ye Ruliu's expression on his face changing slightly after listening to Shi Tianji's words, and hurriedly reminded Shi Tianji not to talk about this topic again.

"I said Brother Xie Yuan, I heard that your name is Yingying, he is good-looking, come and tell my brother to hear about it, okay?" Shi Tianji understood what Xie Yuan meant, and hurriedly found another topic.

"I said Lao Shi, why did you pull it on my head again!" Xie Yuan was a little embarrassed in front of so many people.

"People's willows look so good, it's really called sinking fish and geese, and closing the moon and embarrassing flowers." Ye Ruliu saw that Xie Yuan was embarrassed to say, so he said for him.

"Why did you say that all the good things happened to your kid? Such a good-looking woman can actually take a fancy to you, a water snake waist? Shi Tianji pretended to be indignant.

"Brother Shi, you can't say that. Although Brother Xie Yuan is thin, he is talented. People may like this, this is called radish and cabbage, each has a love. Before Xie Yuan could speak, Ye Ruliu was upset for Xie Yuan.

"See, this is my sister, my own sister. Be on my side when it counts. Seeing Ye Ruliu speaking for herself, Xie Yuan was very grateful.

"Then you're not a turnip, at most a rotten cabbage." Shi Tianji still bit Xie Yuan.

"Hahaha......" Hearing Shi Tianji's words, the people in the room burst into laughter.

"Brother Xie Yuan, don't you miss your sweetheart who is far away in the sky?" When everyone had laughed enough, Shi Lang asked Xie Yuan.

"Think what's the use. It's like you, there are people around you every day, waiting. Xie Yuan said.

"Don't be discouraged, brother. When we take Pyongyang City, my sister will personally accompany you to find Liu Yingying. Ye Ruliu comforted Xie Yuan.

"I don't know how she's doing now." Xie Yuan seemed to be talking to himself.

Ye Ruliu didn't want to arouse Xie Yuan's sadness because of the topic of Liu Yingying, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, everyone's wounds have been bandaged, let's not talk more." Hurry up and rest for a while. ”

By this time it was dawn. People began to move around the streets one after another. The cries of various vendors rang out one after another.

Sun Qing bought it for everyone to be early.

After tossing for most of the night, everyone's stomachs were already rumbling with hunger. After gobbling it up, he looted the delicious meals such as cakes, rice, and kimchi that Sun Qing had bought.

After a night of contact, Luo Shiyin was deeply impressed by Fang Shan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, especially when the square handle faced the danger, he was not chaotic, leaving a good impression on Luo Shiyin. It's just that he always had a doubt in his heart, the Jinyi Guard in the city made such a big move, and Niu Tianzhou, the chief counsellor of the North Korean affairs of the Jinyi Guard in North Korea, who was the supreme commander of the Yamen in North Korea, never showed up, which was very abnormal.

But Luo Shiyin didn't want to ask Fang Bing about it, he was waiting, waiting for Niu Tianzhou to appear on his own, waiting for the truth to be revealed in a more fair and reasonable way.

Luo Shiyin and Fang Handle had breakfast and were talking in the suite, when the spies sent by Fang Handle hurriedly ran in and reported: "A suspicious person has been found two miles south of the liaison station, suspected of being a Japanese ninja. They should be coming this way. ”

"Okay, got it, let's explore again!" Square Handle commanded.

The spy answered and strode out the door.

"It seems that it is not convenient to stay here for long." Luo Shiyin said to the handle.

"My lord, there are many of our points of contact in this city, and we can move elsewhere." Square Handle said.

"Let's go, call everyone, and let's go!" Luo Shiyin ordered.

In an alley two miles away, Yoshino was leading more than a hundred Japanese ninjas, led by the ninja dog Akrus, towards the No. 6 liaison station where Luo Shiyin and the others were.

In last night's battle, the Japanese ninjas lost their soldiers. After they returned to the station, they adjusted slightly, and immediately took the ninja dog Akruz and chased after them.

Pedestrians on the street saw this group of black-clothed ninjas and hid on the side of the road.

In the blink of an eye, Yoshino and his party had arrived at the door of Jinyiwei's No. 6 liaison station.

"Prepare to attack!" Seeing that the prey was close in front of him, Yoshino waved his hand, and more than a hundred ninjas quickly surrounded the sixth liaison station of Kinyiwei.

When Ye Ruliu was dressing Shi Lang, Shi Lang had already taken off the bloodstained thorn suit on his body and put it on a wooden frame. Due to the urgency of the enemy situation, he hurriedly went on the road, and Shi Lang forgot to bring this thorn suit for a while.

The doors and windows of Liaison Station 6 were closed, and there was no movement in the room.

More than 100 ninjas lightly started the catwalk, holding their swords cautiously, forming a momentum of encirclement of the target.

Yoshino saw that there was no sound in the room, and suddenly became suspicious, and he waved his hand sideways. The three ninjas led the way, and the finished glyph crept close to the door. Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of "click", and the body of the ninja who walked in front suddenly fell and fell into a deep pit full of sharp bamboos at his feet, and his body was immediately pierced by several sharp bamboos. Screams were heard clearly from the bottom of the pit.

At the same time, a loud bang was heard, and the roof of the house at Liaison Station 6 was blown open, and dozens of bags of flour were blown into the air and scattered in the air, obscuring the sky and the sun. The flour was mixed with all kinds of crumbs and scattered like a rain of flowers.

The moment the explosion sounded, all the ninjas present instinctively looked up, and the scattered flour immediately captivated their eyes. Immediately afterward, I heard a "whoosh" whistle, and a dense number of arrows shot out of the house in front of me.

The ninja who rushed in front didn't have time to react at all, and was hit by a sudden arrow. In the open space in front of the house, more than a dozen Japanese ninjas immediately lay down. The ninjas who were not shot lay on the ground, not daring to get up and move forward.

Sisters Yoshino and Mieko Kato, who were standing at the back of the group, heard the sound and immediately dodged and jumped out, hiding behind a wall to avoid the flying arrows.

Yoshino hid behind the wall, squinting his eyes and patiently observing the movement in the room, and waited for a long time, except for seeing the continuous bursts of green smoke rising from the room damaged by the explosion.

"Search for me!" Yoshino gave an order, and the ninjas lying on the ground got up one after another and rushed to the room with knives.

The house was littered with scattered flour and all kinds of broken household utensils.

Akruth, a ninja dog searching through the ruins, suddenly roared at a pile of rubble.

"Dig it up for me!" Yoshino ordered.

Immediately, several ninjas bent down and used their hands to remove the rubble. After digging for nearly half a meter or so, a black corner of the garment was exposed. The ninja dog Akruz immediately rushed forward, bit the corner of the black coat tightly with his mouth, pulled it out hard, and took it in front of Yoshino.

Yoshino lowered his head and picked up the black clothes from Akrus's mouth to take a closer look. It was a tight-fitting suit that was somewhat similar to the ninja night suit, and it was the same black thorn suit that Shi Lang had forgotten to take with him.

"Team leader, it looks like the clothes worn by the brocade guard who visited the Mingde Pavilion that night. Looks like they've found the liquid I've smeared on it. Michiko Kato, who was standing next to Yoshino, looked at the clothes in Yoshino's hand and said.

"Cunning Ming spy. Our trail was broken. Yoshino said through gritted teeth.

Mieko Kato, who had been standing behind Yoshino, saw that this operation ended in failure, and a trace of comfort flashed in her heart. Shi Lang's injury should be fine. She guessed.

In this royal capital, Jinyiwei has more than a dozen liaison stations. In order to prevent any clues from being discovered by the enemy, all liaison stations under the command of the square handle have installed this self-destruct device. As soon as the mechanism is activated, the self-destruct mechanism will automatically detonate the explosive device installed inside and blow up the contact station if the enemy steps on the mechanism. At the same time, the launcher installed in the room can also effectively kill the enemy. The designer of all this is the square handle himself.

Before entering the Jinyi Guard, Fang Handle had worked for a period of time in the War Bureau, one of the Eight Bureaus of the Ming Dynasty, and was a well-known ordnance manufacturing expert in the War Bureau.

Later, because he offended the leaders of the War Bureau at that time, Fang Handle was expelled from the War Bureau.

Fang Handle had nowhere to go, so he had to dredge up the relationship, and was recruited into the Jinyi Wei Yamen by Liu Shouyou, the commander of the Jinyi Guard at that time, and became a hundred household commanders in the Fusi of Nanzhen.

After Liu Shouyou stepped down, the newly succeeded commander of Jinyiwei made Luo Shiyin make a major transfer of the personnel within Jinyiwei, and Fang Shanzhi was transferred from Nanzhen Fusi to North Korea and became a commander of the general banner of 100 households.

After coming to North Korea, Fang Handle made full use of his professional expertise and installed several liaison stations in the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard in North Korea and in the city of Wangjing.

When Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu broke into the Mingde Pavilion that night, they were able to get out safely by using the mechanism designed and installed on the south side of the yamen with a square handle.
