Chapter 368: Danger (1)
Gu Hongying has never been out of the Huoshan realm since she fell into the grass and flattened the stone, even if she sometimes goes out to beat grass and walks a little farther, she will return soon, this time she will follow Liu Wenzhi to Hunan, which can be regarded as her real sense of going out.
For this trip, she prepared early, when Sun Yumin was in the poplar shop, she liked to eat wild game and mountain delicacies in Dabie Mountain, she specially prepared two large bags, anyway, she will bring enough manpower and mules and horses, and do not need manpower to pick up the burden, it is always good to bring more.
Sun Yumin's estimate that Gu Hongying would have a big belly, and she didn't really expect that she and Liu Wenzhi had been together for so long, and she was not pregnant with a child, which was also a faint pain in her heart.
and Sun Yumin estimated that Zhou Shanjun and Wang Yanru and his wife would come together, but he didn't guess correctly, Liu Wenzhi was still worried that there would be no one to guard here, and he would hand over the hard-earned foundation to others, so he didn't agree to let Zhou Shanjun and his wife go together and leave them to take care of this not small family business.
After Liu Wenzhi's operation for these days, their "old nest" is no longer limited to poplar shops and flat stones, and the entire range of dozens of miles around Foziling has been controlled and used by him, and the devils in Huoshan City have not dared to come out to provoke Liu Wenzhi and Gu Hongying since the 13th Division was transferred to Yichang, for fear that if they are unhappy, they will end the county seat at any time. Now the feng shui treasure land at the foot of Dabie Mountain around Huoshan Mountain has completely become a forbidden place that devils almost dare not set foot in.
Knowing that Liu Wenzhi was about to go to Hunan, XHD, the commander of the Jiangbei Detachment of the New Fourth Army, came over in person, and the two talked for a long time all night, and no one listened, so even Gu Hongying didn't know what was said between the two. She is a smart person, and she knows very well in her heart that the conversation between the two will definitely be related to Sun Yumin, the boss who is far away in Hunan.
After arranging everything, Liu Wenzhi and Gu Hongying led a team of more than 30 mules and horses, disguised as a caravan and stepped out of their own territory.
Unlike Liu Wenzhi, who didn't notice it at all, Gu Hongying was born in the green forest, so she naturally discovered this abnormal situation at the first time, but she didn't think about it deeply, thinking that it was just the idea of a nearby cottage or a bandit somewhere to hit their belongings.
How would they know that this was the military commander's order to plot and "conclude" Liu Wenzhi, who was about to go to Sun Yumin's side, and she and the brothers who accompanied her were just the people who accompanied the funeral.
In order to ensure the success of the assassination, Dai Li sent Zhao Lijun to carry out this mission in person.
As one of the four King Kongs by Dai Li's side, Zhao Lijun can be described as a demon that makes many people tremble, and an assassination mission like this is just a pediatric for him. But after he heard Dai Li say that he was going to deal with Sun Yumin, he retreated.
The scene of the Changhe Hotel in Wuhan back then, like a brand, was deeply engraved in his heart, Sun Yumin and his group of subordinates, the shock brought to him was too great, especially Zhou Shanjun, in his eyes, that is a top master, and it seems that Sun Yumin's side, there are not a few masters like Zhou Shanjun.
Now let him assassinate Sun Yumin's number one assistant and backbone, this is undoubtedly not to put him on the fire, there is already a mustard between him and Sun Yumin, if it weren't for Sun Yumin's taboo that Dai Li, it would be unfavorable to Chen Bui and Lu Man's brothers and sisters that night, he Zhao Lijun would have already been in front of the corpse Chang and the hotel.
For Zhao Lijun, killing someone is nothing, but if he is asked to provoke Sun Yumin and the group of "people who are not ordinary people" around him, he is really afraid.
However, Dai Li's order had to be completed, and he couldn't help but do it, so he had to bite the bullet, take a group of subordinates, and mobilize a lot of action teams to rush to the Anhui border.
Unlike the Kuomintang area, most of the people who had to pass through this road were Japanese-occupied areas, and with a group of men, it was extremely inconvenient to move, and they were only divided into several batches. Fortunately, before leaving, the military command teams in various places were asked to pay close attention to the teams and personnel who came out of Huoshan, so Liu Wenzhi and the others were targeted as soon as they walked out not far away, that is, the copycat bandits or green forest heroes that Gu Hongying thought.
Gu Hongying has been in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, although she has not seen any big scenes, but for these superficial stalking and tracking, she has countless ways to deal with them, but she can't figure out the number of these people for a while, so she can't tolerate it, plus she doesn't want Liu Wenzhi to worry too much, so she didn't tell him about being targeted.
It is also strange to say that these people will stop after reaching a certain territory, and then a new group of stalkers will continue to keep up, and this will be the case for three or four days in a row, which makes Gu Hongying puzzled, and he can't figure out what kind of medicine these people sell in their gourds.
According to common sense, if these are for money, then they should have done it early in the morning, but after a few days, they didn't seem to want to do it at all, which made Gu Hongying sure that the purpose of the people who came was not for money. If you don't come here for money, then why? All the way to protection? No way! Except for Zhou Shanjun, who was still in the flat stone, only the Jiangbei Detachment of the New Fourth Army had the ability to send people to protect him. Needless to say, the person who is flat and the stone is definitely not, Gu Hongying's strength is that she can't forget, if it is someone under her own hands, it is impossible for her not to recognize it; And the New Fourth Army is even more impossible, people have no need and obligation at all, and send people to escort themselves to Hunan; Denying these two places, the only possibility is that the boss sent to protect and greet them, but even if he sent people as soon as he received the message, it was impossible for him to arrive so soon, these people had already followed as soon as he came out of the Huoshan realm.
These people just followed from a distance, neither did they take any action, nor did they see any evil intentions, which made Gu Hongying a little difficult to choose, so she had to let these people follow, waiting for them to make the first move or find out their intentions first, and then make plans.
Liu Wenzhi and Gu Hongying stopped and walked all the way, and the people who were watching were also stopped and walked, and the two groups of people with their own hearts entered the territory of Jiangxi together, although they were still in the Japanese-occupied area, but as long as they were two days away, they would enter the defense area of the 19th Group Army, at that time, I believed that even if these people had any tricks, they couldn't help them, Gu Hongying's tense nerves all the way did not relax because she was about to arrive in the national control area, but was more vigilant than before, because she found that In the past two days, these stalkers have changed more frequently, which is not a good sign.
"Wenzhi, we may be in big trouble." endured all the way, and finally before crossing the Yangtze River, Gu Hongying decided to tell Liu Wenzhi the truth.
"Big trouble? How can it be! Liu Wenzhi didn't seem to believe it.
"Really, we just let people follow as soon as we got out of Huoshan, although there have been a lot of people who have been watching us along the way, but I can be sure that the target of these people is us, but I don't know who they are? Why are you eyeing us? Gu Hongying's expression was very serious, and when he said these words to him, he also avoided the twenty or thirty brothers who came with him, although he did not suspect them, but in order not to let them be afraid and worried, and in order not to let those who followed him find out that they already knew about their existence, Gu Hongying only told Liu Wenzhi the truth alone.
"You've been following us since you came out of Huoshan?" Liu Wenzhi was a little surprised, although he was always suspicious of other people behind the butt of his team, but after finding that the people behind him were not the same people, he slowly became unrelieved.
"yes, you've found out, right?" Gu Hongying only smiled slightly, and then returned to a serious expression, she continued: "Although these people change from time to time, they all have one thing in common, they are all young men, that is, because they are young and far from being sophisticated, they gave me the opportunity to discover him. ”
"Young man?" Liu Wenzhi was thoughtful, he muttered to himself.
Except for the army, it is impossible for anyone to pull out a young man.
I live at the foot of Dabie Mountain, I don't even have much contact with the boss, except for the New Fourth Army, I have almost nothing to do with the army outside, how can there be so many soldiers to follow my party?
Like Gu Hongying, Liu Wenzhi also couldn't find an answer, is it a devil? Except for thinking that it was a devil, he could hardly imagine that anyone would be so interested, and followed him hundreds of miles to the edge of the Yangtze River.
"Director, those people seem to want to cross the river today and let them go forward, but they will reach the boundary of Commander-in-Chief Luo, Sun Yumin is with him, if we don't do it, I'm afraid we won't have a chance."
Zhao Lijun was sitting in a restaurant, looking at Liu Wenzhi who was in the investment shop, and one of his subordinates next to him said loudly.
In order to avoid leakage of news, he rushed from Chongqing with someone, because Sun Yumin's reputation in the army was too great, he didn't dare to borrow someone from the army to implement this plan, fortunately, nothing went wrong on the way, when they arrived at this riverside town, Liu Wenzhi and they had not yet arrived, and they waited for a day before finally seeing the appearance of the "protagonist".
Zhao Lijun and Liu Wenzhi had not met in Changhe Hotel, but when he saw this tall and thin man for the first time, he immediately felt the military qualities he exuded from his mixed body, which was not something that his peddler dress could hide.
This kind of trait is not found in all soldiers, at least Zhao Lijun has not seen much, but this Sun Yumin's henchman is the same as him, and he can exude an oppressive temperament all over his body, in addition to the two of them, there is also the childish face that he can never forget, and his silver boning knife that was robbed.
Zhao Lijun just took a closer look at Liu Wenzhi's group and made sure that there was no "killing god" Zhou Shanjun who made him unable to move his legs, before he dared to breathe a little, and when he heard this sentence in his hand, he showed a weird smile on his face, and said: "It's so stable all the way, let's find something for them to do first!" ”
"Dealing with ......"
"If I ever heard you called that out there again, I wouldn't mind chopping you up and feeding the dogs."
As soon as the subordinate who spoke before spoke, he was frightened by Zhao Lijun, he called the director to want to slap the horse, but he didn't expect to pat the horse's hooves, and hurriedly changed his words: "Big brother, you say, find something for them to do?" ”
Zhao Lijun pretended to stand up, stood at the window and looked at the sky that was about to darken, and said: "Such a broken place, I don't know if it can be a little bright at night, if you can light a big bonfire, how good it would be." ”
"Big brother, don't worry, I'll let you enjoy the big bonfire tonight." This subordinate is very clever, and he immediately understood what Zhao Lijun meant.
"It's not good if there is a campfire without sounding, but if it is ......"
Zhao Lijun only said a few words, he took his top hat from another standing subordinate, patted the ash, put it on his head, and then smiled and said to the subordinate who answered: "I look forward to your performance tonight." ”
Since being reminded by Gu Hongying, Liu Wenzhi has also begun to become cautious, this time they came to Hunan with the wounded veterans who stayed in the past, it can be said that all of them are elite with one as ten, as soon as he entered the store at night, he arranged the manpower on night duty separately, and also arranged a secret post for the first time.
The fine weather of sunny days and crisp autumn makes the night not dark, although there is no moonlight, but the whole night sky is still hung with stars.
It was already three o'clock, and the entire riverside town fell into a deep sleep, a town baptized by war, but reborn, just like the Chinese who will never be conquered by iron hooves, standing tenaciously on the edge of the Yangtze River. Although the large-scale battles between China and Japan on the border of Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi for months made the people around the battlefield miserable, they also gave a lot of rare rest time like this town, but no one expected that suddenly the quiet night of the town would be broken by this skyrocketing fire.
With a voice: "It's water!" The shouts echoed in the night sky, and the whole town boiled at once. At that time, there were very few professional firefighting organizations, and when a fire broke out, neighbors helped each other to extinguish the fire, and this was no exception. Just as people were carrying buckets and basins to extinguish the fire, there was a sudden fierce "firecracker" sound around the fire, and no one was aware of the danger at first, until they saw a stranger lying covered in blood around the fire, and the residents of the town realized that this sudden fire was not so simple.
Although Liu Wenzhi arranged secret sentry and night vigil brothers, he still could not withstand the arson of the military commander's agents. They didn't want to give Liu Wenzhi's team a way to live, and they didn't even know where to get gasoline and poured it on this hotel, and the fire spread all at once by the wind.
The dark whistle didn't want to shoot yet, but seeing that these arsonists not only didn't give others a way out at all, but also some other people stood outside the fire with guns, they knew that the comers were not good, and immediately shot down two, and woke up Liu Wenzhi and Gu Hongying in their sleep, after playing with guns for so many years, they would not think it was the sound of firecrackers like the residents of the town, even in their sleep, they could clearly distinguish that this was the sound of the mirror box gunfire that their own people had.
