Twenty miles outside Ningcheng, on the hillside where the special operations company was hiding.

It belongs to the transition zone between the Inner Mongolia Plateau and the Songliao Plain, the terrain is relatively gentle, and several hills around Ningcheng look like a big dirt bag from a distance.

If it weren't for the lush vegetation on the mountain, I am afraid that some people would use them as grave bags.

Although the mountain is small, there is no problem for 100 people to hide in it.

When Liu Cheng brought people back, it was almost dawn.

Seeing Liu Cheng, Xu Zhi immediately greeted him and said with a solemn face:

"Battalion commander, I'm afraid we have to change places, in the middle of the night, I went around the mountain and vaguely saw two black shadows."

Liu Cheng's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and he asked in a deep voice:

"You didn't catch up with your speed?"

Xu Zhi nodded a little embarrassedly:

"Those two people are very fast, and they are not below me!"

Hearing Xu Zhi say that the speed of those two people was not below him, a flash of surprise flashed on Liu Cheng's face, and he didn't speak for a long time.

A hint of worry rose in his heart.

Although it is now almost certain that it is not a Japanese person who is eyeing him, this does not mean that the Japanese are necessarily ignorant of his whereabouts.

Liu Cheng knew very well that if he continued to stay here, there would definitely be danger.

But he can't leave yet, he has to get this thing straight.

After a while, Liu Cheng asked Xu Zhi again:

"Did you use that radio to send the news?"

Xu Zhi nodded:

"I sent it, but the other party didn't reply, I don't know if I saw the problem; After all, in addition to the codebook, they can also discern whether the person who sent the report is their own person or not. ”

Liu Cheng smiled mysteriously:

"It's okay, I didn't even plan to find those people on this radio station."

Ningcheng, Caifu.

The door of a room in the backyard was opened from the inside, and Song Wen held a white towel in his hand, wiping the blood on his hands while walking towards the front yard.

In that room, three shirtless men knelt side by side on the ground, looking awkward.

Song Wen's interrogation methods were something the three of them had never seen before, and they had never even dreamed of these methods.

There were no external injuries on the three of them, but the sweat on their faces and bodies fell to the ground like beads with broken threads.

If a person's sweat can form a washbasin-sized wet mark on the floor, it means severe dehydration.

On the vests, the top of the head, behind the ears, the neck and other skins of the three people, there are some silver needles of different lengths.

If it weren't for the rope around each of their necks, I'm afraid they would have collapsed on the ground long ago.

The body is sore, numb, and painful, and I can't exert any strength; The scalp is itchy and unbearable, making them want to take off their scalp and throw it away.

I am afraid that no matter how strong-willed people are, they will not be able to endure this kind of suffering.

Song Wen went straight to Mrs. Cai Zhong's door, took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Cai Zhong's voice then sounded inside:

"Come in!"

The corners of Song Wen's mouth were slightly raised, and he pushed open the door and walked in.

Cai Zhong was half-lying on the kang in his clothes, his face was a little pale.

After being so seriously injured, he can still sit and be in the mood to ask about these things, just by virtue of this, Cai Zhong is qualified to have everything now.

Song Wen walked straight to Cai Zhong and said in a low voice:

"Master, ask clearly, they did it."

Cai Zhong originally didn't have much hope for these three people, and letting Song Wen interrogate them overnight was just a formality.

In his opinion, these three people can be easily caught by Zhou Liang, and they are definitely not powerful people.

Now that Song Wen had pried open their mouths in less than five hours, Cai Zhong's first reaction was not to believe it.

However, he didn't show it, but said to Song Wen with a smile:

"Good! Lao Tzu said you can do it, right? Sure enough, it didn't disappoint me! ”

As he spoke, he sat up from the kang, reached out and patted Song Wen on the shoulder, and then asked:

"What do they do? Why can't you get along with Lao Tzu? Is there anyone else behind it? ”

Song Wen replied unhurriedly:

"It's an anti-Japanese armed force in Xiuyan, this year's food is about to come down, and the purpose of coming to Ningcheng is to get some money and food, isn't this just eyeing you."

After a while, seeing that Cai Zhong did not speak, Song Wen asked again:

"Master, what should these people do? Whole death? Or send it to Zhou Liang and lock him up? ”

Cai Zhong thought for a while and said:

"Keep it first, don't send it to Zhou Liang, just lock it up in your backyard first!"

Song Wen nodded:

"That's okay, master, I'll go back first, you can rest assured that you can recuperate from your injuries, and you can rest assured of the safety of the house."

With that, he turned and walked out the door.

As soon as one foot stepped out of the threshold, the corner of Song Wen's eyes suddenly picked up, and he didn't know where to conjure a slender dagger out of his hand, and kicked the threshold with his hind foot, jumping towards the rockery in front of him.

At the same time, two figures appeared silently at the door, looking around vigilantly.

In the rockery, a black shadow flashed out from behind the rockery before Song Wen approached, turned around and swept towards the courtyard wall.

More than a dozen figures burst out from all corners almost at the same time, and quickly surrounded the black shadow.

Although the speed of these people was very fast, the black shadow was faster than them, and in a few flashes, it had already reached the bottom of the courtyard wall.

At this moment, two people suddenly jumped out of the corner of the wall, and rushed straight towards the black shadow, the dagger in his hand flashed with cold light, and went straight to the key point of the black shadow.

At this time, Song Wen and a dozen other people were already very close, and as long as the black shadow fought back, it would fall into an encirclement in the next second.

Just when the dagger in the hands of the two men was less than a foot away from the black shadow's body, a flash of fire suddenly lit up in front of them, and a heat wave rushed straight to the door.

Both of them dodged sideways at the same time, but they couldn't dodge completely.

As soon as the flame touched the skin, it stuck to it like paste, and the two of them let out a soft cry at the same time, and quickly turned and threw themselves to the ground, burying their faces stained with fire in the earth.

The black shadow took advantage of this opportunity, shook his hand and threw out a thin rope, flew over the courtyard wall, and jumped down.

Song Wen was half a step late, and his angry fist smashed on the wall, shattering a bluestone brick.

Someone helped the two men completely extinguish the fire on their faces and helped them up.

In just a few moments, the hair of the two men was almost burned, and half of their faces were blurred with flesh and blood, exuding the smell of roasted meat.

Song Wen's face was gloomy and asked them to take them to bandage and treatment, and he turned back to Cai Zhong's house and told him what had just happened.

The expression on Cai Zhong's face did not change much after hearing this, but he just told Song Wen to be more careful and take strict precautions recently, so he let him go back.

After Song Wen left, the expression on Cai Zhong's face gradually changed.

From worry to fear to anger......
