Chapter 287: Lu Xiaofei's suspicions
Luo Junnan is not the king of the northwest, he is just a garrison commander, and he got the news as soon as the bandits from Luo Xiaoshan arrived at Jiayuguan.
He knew that this was the team of the old enemy Tong Bocang, and he heard that there were only more than 1,000 people, so he immediately sent a division over on the pretext of suppressing bandits.
There are also garrisons on the side of Jiayuguan, but there are not many, because the ghost dragon iron cavalry has not entered the city, so before the local garrison can figure out who is against whom, Long Lan and Tong Xi have already left.
When Luo Junnan learned the news, he immediately ordered an all-out pursuit, and demanded that this horse bandit be exterminated.
Tong Xi and Long Lan led the team to Wuhua Mountain, it was already noon the next day, and when they arrived in the mountainous area, they first hid the truck, and then all entered the mountain to meet along the code left by Qi Rui.
At this time, Qi Rui had already made a major discovery in the deep mountains, and they finally found the footprints left by those people, and roughly analyzed the number of people according to the footprints.
"Captain! There were sixty-five to sixty-seven of them! It's been at least half a month since I left! Zhou Zilu analyzed,
"Out of more than 60 people, there are only about 30 people in the middle of the queue! It is likely that they were all tied up, and the footprints around were those of the kidnappers! Qi Rui temporarily called the gang the kidnappers, because it was still impossible to determine their identities.
"Captain! They have been walking around here for a long time, could it be that the funds are hidden in this Wuhua Mountain? ”
"It's probably not big! It's not convenient to hide here and take it away! Qi Rui looked at the environment and said,
"That's right!"
"They must have someone else! And there are quite a few of them! Qi Rui said,
"That's right! Because some of them took all the horses with them! Or rather, they divided into two roads, riding horses all the way to the direction of Yumen, and there was the team of people who entered the mountain! ”
"It's a pity that the footprints have disappeared again in this open space!" Qi Rui said disappointedly when he saw the bare mountain,
"But from the direction they walked, it seems to be in the direction of the Jade Gate!"
"They have been wandering around the mountains for a few days, I think the water and food they brought have basically run out, and we saw some animal bones along the way, which should have been hunted by them for food, but fortunately no more human corpses were found!" Qi Rui said,
"Captain! Let's not go to Yumen to have a look! Zhou Zilu suggested,
"Let's wait until Long Lan and the others arrive, let's see the situation!" Qi Rui thought that since these people were hiding from people, most of them would not go to the Jade Gate, but someone would definitely send them supplies, and they might hide near the Jade Gate.
Long Lan and Tong Xi didn't lead the horses very quickly, Guo Qu and a few of them came over to find Qi Rui first, and then they returned together to meet everyone.
"Brother Qi! Luo Junnan sent a division to chase after him! Tong Xi looked very excited, she thought that Qi Rui would take them to fight.
"Nope! It's not easy for us to do it with them right now! It's better to avoid it for the time being, for everyone's safety, we must be sure that we can only make a move! And you have to understand one thing! Your enemy is not those Guo soldiers, but Luo Junnan, isn't it? Qi Rui said,
"Does Big Brother Qi mean to only kill Luo Junnan?" Tong Lu asked,
"Who else is your enemy but him?" Qi Rui asked,
"His descendants are all our enemies!" Tong Lu said,
"And where will his descendants be?"
"Naturally by his side?"
"So when the time comes to kill him, he will naturally piggyback on his descendants and wipe out his descendants! It doesn't make sense for us to fight with some local garrisons, you think that as long as you use guns, there will be casualties, Luo Junnan has 100,000 troops! And we only have a thousand people, and even if we consume him, we will be consumed to death! So we don't fight everything! It's not like everyone kills! You'd better think about that! Qi Rui has been a little anxious these days, and his speech is a little cold.
Tong Xi saw that Qi Rui was a little angry, and hurriedly pulled Tong Lu and said, "What Brother Qi said is right! We listen to you! ”
Tong Lu and Tong Chan pondered for a while, and what Qi Rui said was very reasonable, not to mention Luo Junnan's 100,000 troops, even his 30,000 descendant troops couldn't afford more than 1,000 people! If you haven't even seen Luo Junnan in the future, there will be no one to fight on your side, and it will be a big loss.
"Brother Qi is right! It's that we're too short-sighted! Tong Chan hurriedly said,
"I'm not teaching you, but telling you about the stakes and disadvantages, you have all practiced a good skill, and you must never make senseless sacrifices, because our ability is to keep killing Japanese devils!" Qi Rui said,
"We get it! Brother Qi! "Tong Chan and Tong Lu also want to fight devils, and they also understand that only by killing devils can they become heroes like Qi Rui! Killing a few fruit troops can only be regarded as bandits! They still know the difference.
"Brother Qi, how is the investigation of your affairs here?" Long Lan asked,
Qi Rui sighed lightly and said: "I encountered a problem, I found the corpses of some people, it is likely that they are the swordsmen that Uncle Xing said, we have now basically concluded that these people are the targets we are looking for, but they seem to have received professional military training, and there are many traces that are deliberately covered up!" ”
"Brother Qi! Do you have a suspicion? Lu Xiaofei asked on the side,
"Not yet!" Qi Rui shook his head and said,
"Big brother! I have! Lu Xiaofei said,
"Oh! Do you suspect that the man who wore the hat did it? Qi Rui remembered that the chief said that if they did it, they should get the news, so he didn't think about them.
"Big brother! Most of the people wearing hats are in enemy-occupied areas! As far as I know, Chongqing has newly established a spy organization called the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Central Executive Committee, referred to as Zhongtong! Their strength is no worse than Dai Li. ”
"You mean they did?" Of course, Zhongtong Qi Rui knew, but he hadn't dealt with them so far, so he didn't think about them.
"I already know the general situation here, and it looks like a professional agent doing it! And they definitely have an internal response! "Lu Xiaofei and Long Lan are both professionally trained spies, and they are quite familiar with their methods.
"Are they in it for the money?" Qi Rui asked,
"That's right! They really want the money, and they want a good harvest! Lu Xiaofei said with certainty,
"How?"
"Brother Qi! You should know that although it is now the cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, in fact, Chongqing is secretly hacking the people in Yan'an all the time, this time it is obviously this routine, I guess that the people of the Central Union want to share the funds, and secretly execute all the people in Yan'an to ask for credit! They have only been established for a few months, and some people want to take the opportunity to climb up! Lu Xiaofei analyzed,
