Chapter 263: Misfortune in the Streets
The county seat of Lin'an County. Lin'an Street.
On the bustling and lively street in the center of the county, Fang Luqing looked left and right, surrounded by groups of people in front of and behind him, as if he had seen it before, but he couldn't be sure if these were students who had been taught before or were being taught? Just when she was confused, she suddenly heard someone next to her say loudly that it was going to rain! Come home! Fang Luqing woke up in an instant and realized something. She immediately threw away the items she was carrying, stretched out her hands and pushed away the students who were tightly surrounding her, and walked to the middle of the street to look for Lu Yun, but Lu Yun was no longer visible, and the purchased items were scattered on the ground. She turned her head to look at the east and west sides of the street, and saw Lu Yun sitting on a rickshaw with his head tilted and slumped away. Fang Luqing couldn't help but be surprised: Not good! Lu Yun was captured. Suddenly, Fang Luqing saw a tall, burly and sturdy figure and a short and thin figure, standing at the intersection not far to the east, waving her hand and beckoning the rickshaw to turn north into a north-south street. Fang Luqing raised his legs and walked to catch up, but he was surrounded by many young students, who were coaxing and shouting to ask when the school would start? He also repeatedly said that he would resolutely not learn Japanese, Japanese, and Japanese culture, and that he would resolutely not be a slave to the country, and that he would go out of the city to look for the Eighth Route Army to join the army to fight against Japan and kill devils.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Fang Luqing seemed to understand something, and pushed away the students who were blocking him with both hands, and strode towards the east to chase after him. However, by the time she reached the intersection where the rickshaw turned left to the north, the rickshaw was gone, and the two familiar figures she saw were nowhere to be found. Fang Luqing immediately turned around and ran back to the same place, the group of young men and women who looked like students who surrounded her just now were long gone, and no one was there. At this time, Fang Luqing completely understood in his heart that Lu Yun's arrest by an unknown group of people was a premeditated, planned, organized, and purposeful action, and the division of labor was clear, the cooperation was ingenious, the action was fast, and it was clean and neat, as if it was done by a well-organized, disciplined, experienced, mature and sophisticated organization. Why did they arrest Lu Yun? What organization and who did it? It's not like the Eighth Route Army, the underground party, and it's not the Japanese gendarmerie and the dogleg detective team. Fang Lu stood in place with indignation, remorse, and blamed himself: Alas! Blame me, blame me for being careless, negligent, and being deceived and tricked by a group of young students. No, they are not students at all, but they are all disguised and pretended, and I can't imagine that our veteran Lu Qing, who has been galloping the rivers and lakes for many years, is now defeated in the hands of a group of immature children at his own doorstep. Alas! What should I do now? I lost Lu Yun, how can I explain and explain to my grandfather when I go home? In a few days, the two of them will go to the church to get married, whether it is true or fake to fool the Japanese, who will they worship with their grandfather without them? Ouch, this disaster is a big deal for me, grandpa gave me the family law flowers blooming, this is definitely inevitable, the butt is secondary, the main and important problem is that you should find Lu Yun as soon as possible, and take her back to the Fang family unscathed and unharmed. But where to find such a large county? How to find it?
Just as Fang Luqing was standing on the street, remorseful and self-reproachful, thinking hard, two middle-aged women who knew her picked up the items scattered on the ground and handed them back to her. Fang Luqing came back to his senses, took the items and thanked him repeatedly, then called a rickshaw and sat on it to go home in frustration.
The county seat of Lin'an County. The north gate of the Ding family compound.
The rickshaw stopped at the foot of the steps outside the gatehouse, and the driver put down the handlebars and turned to the middle of the road to watch the east and west sides. The bumps and swaying along the way shook Lu Yun completely, and when she opened her eyes and looked up, she saw a gatehouse that was as grand as the Fang family but slightly inferior, but she was immediately sure that this was not the Fang family.
"Who are you?! Why are you arresting me?! Let me go right away! Otherwise, you're in big trouble! Lu Yun shouted angrily.
"Miss Lu Yun, please forgive us for being abrupt and reckless, please forgive us for using such an impolite and unfriendly way to pick you up. Please don't misunderstand, don't be afraid, we have absolutely no malice, and we will not hurt you in the slightest. Two of your friends who came to the county were anxious to see you, and then we found a way to get you out of the city together safely and secretly. Miss Lu Yun, please get out of the car, please come with me. Changgui stood next to the rickshaw and looked at Lu Yun sincerely, and said calmly after apologizing.
Uncle Gen, who was also dressed, stood on the other side, looking at Lu Yun with a kind and kind smile.
Lu Yun, who was full of doubts, looked at Changgui, who was dressed in civilian clothes and had a simple face, and asked:
"Who are you? Where is this? How do you know I'm Lu Yun? ”
"I'm Changgui, this is Uncle Lao Gen, this is the Ding family, we are the guys of the Ding family, I met you with my master and young master in the Fang family's imperial army headquarters. Miss Lu Yun, please get out of the car and follow me in. If the detective team and their spies were to see it now, it would be a big problem. Changgui urged anxiously.
Lu Yun, who was sitting on the rickshaw, did not move and was silent, thinking in his heart: It seems that these people do not look like detectives, nor do they look like bad people, who will the two people who want to see me be? Could it be that they have been separated for many days, cannot be found, their whereabouts are unknown, and their lives are unknown? If yes, that's a coincidence, that's great. Since Changgui and Uncle Lao Gen know that I am Lu Yun, then they should know that I am a member of the Fang family, and the Ding family should not and dare not hurt me. Okay, even if it's the Longtan Tiger's Den, I'm going to go in and break in.
"Miss Lu Yun, get out of the car and go in. Don't dare to delay too long. ”
Uncle Gen alertly observed the east and west sides of the street and urged.
"Okay, I can go in with you. However, I must make it clear to you beforehand that if I do not know the two men whom you are talking about wanting to see me, I must leave here at once, and you must not stop me, let alone detain me. Lu Yun solemnly declared.
"Definitely! Just do what Miss Lu Yun said. Changgui readily agreed with certainty.
Lu Yun stepped off the rickshaw with his legs, and although he was apprehensive, he walked up the steps with a calm and righteous expression and walked into the gatehouse of the Ding family.
The county seat of Lin'an County. Fang's compound, the headquarters of the Japanese army. Front yard living room.
Eiichi Nakagawa and Ichiro Sohan were sitting side by side on the sofa and talking quietly. Takagi Hirochi took Zhu Shiyao into the living room one after the other, and walked in front of Nakagawa Eiichi.
"Report to the co-captain, President Zhu has invited me."
"Principal Zhu, please be seated." Eiichi Nakagawa stood up and pointed to the sofa on his left and said.
Sohan Ichiro also followed Nakagawa Eiichi to stand up and bowed slightly in respect.
The three of them sat down separately. Takagi Hirochi brought a chair and placed it behind between Zhu Shiyao and Nakagawa Eiichi, and then brought the folder to open the preparation record.
"Mr. Nakagawa Wing Captain and Special Envoy, didn't you already have a meeting in the morning? Do you want to talk about anything more now that you've brought me here? Zhu Shiyao asked without humility or arrogance.
"President Zhu, there were too many people in the morning meeting, and some things were inconvenient or impossible to say, and even if they were said, they could not be explained or explained thoroughly. Therefore, I think it is very necessary to invite President Zhu here again, and only the three of us will have one last talk. Then, we had dinner together. Eiichi Nakagawa explained.
"Oh, I see. The Last Supper, and then send me to the gallows. Unsurprisingly, I was prepared. Zhu Shiyao said with a calm expression and a steady tone.
"No, no, no. President Zhu, you are completely wrong, please don't misunderstand, the co-captain has no such meaning, he invited you to come purely for the sake of goodwill, friendship, coexistence and common prosperity between Japan and China, and out of respect and reliance on President Zhu. Sohan Ichiro explained.
"Oh? Is that so? Wing Commander, Mr. Special Envoy, when we had a meeting in the morning, I said everything that should have been said and what could be said, but what else can I say now? Zhu Shiyao asked puzzled.
"Well, Zong Hanjun is right. President Zhu, we should be open and honest, speak freely, think and speak, and do what we say. I hope that our final conversation will be pleasant, targeted and constructive. ”
"Oh? I hope it's not a waste of time. Zhu Shiyao said sarcastically and disdainfully.
