It's time for your scheduled departure!

According to the plan, Pu Yi had to sneak out of the gate of the Jingyuan in the evening, hiding from all the eyes and ears. This incident made Pu Yi think a lot. Pu Yi first planned not to go through the gate at all, so he simply took a car and went out from the door of the garage.

Pu Yi called Sun Yaoting, who had just taken refuge in him, to see if he could open the garage door, and he said that the garage door had not been used for a long time, and the outside of the door had been muddled with advertising posters. Later, Qi Jizhong came up with a way to hide Pu Yi in the back of a sports car, and then asked someone to drive the car out of the gate. For the sake of confidentiality, he didn't even call the driver, but asked Sun Yaoting, who could barely drive, to drive.

In this way, Qi Jizhong sat next to the driver, escorted the "empty car", drove Pu Yi out of Jingyuan, and went straight to the location agreed by Pu Yi and Yoshida: Shujie Shikijima Restaurant.

Not far from the gate of Jingyuan, Yoshida Tadaro sat in a car and waited, and as soon as he saw Puyi's car go out of the gate, his car quietly followed.

The Japanese concession and the area around the adjacent Chinese administrative area were under martial law all day. The martial law arranged this time created an extremely smooth environment for Pu Yi's escape. Under the circumstance that no Chinese vehicles were allowed to pass, Pu Yi's car walked to the barbed wire fence at each intersection, and when it was blocked by Japanese soldiers, it passed through Yoshida behind him as soon as he greeted him.

Although the "driver" Sun Yaoting's skills are really bad, as soon as he came out of the gate of Jingyuan, he hit the telephone pole, Pu Yi's head hit the lid of the box hard, and Pu Yi was very uncomfortable along the way, but he finally drove smoothly to the door of the Shikishima restaurant.

After the car stopped, Yoshida opened the compartment, helped Puyi out, and entered the Shikishima restaurant together. A Japanese officer named Captain Makata, who had been waiting for a long time, took out a Japanese military coat and hat, and he and Yoshida quickly dressed Pu Yi, and then took Pu Yi, Qi Jizhong, Sun Yaoting, and the two "attendants" Ma Deqing and Ren Futian who arrived later, and got into a car of the headquarters. The car walked unhindered along the banks of the White River for a while until it reached a wharf.

It's quiet on the pier. Pu Yi soon understood that this was not the Japanese Concession, Pu Yi was a little panicked, and Yoshida comforted Pu Yi in a low voice: "It doesn't matter, this is the British Concession." ”

With the help of him and Zhen Fangxun, Pu Yi walked briskly on the concrete floor for a while, and a small steamboat with no lights appeared in front of him.

Pu Yi walked into the cabin and saw Zheng Xiaoxu's father and son waiting inside as promised, and his heart stabilized. There are also three Japanese people sitting here: one is Riichi Kamikaku; One is Tetsuzaburo Kudo, who used to be a guard officer under Seungyo, and is a ronin under Dohihara; There is also a one called Otani,. Pu Yi also met with the captain Nishi Chojiro.

At the same time, I also learned that there were ten Japanese soldiers on the ship, led by a military officer named Suwaji, who served as an escort. The name of this ship is "Hijiyama Maru", and it is a ship of the transportation department of the Japanese army headquarters. For this special transport task, sandbags and steel plates were piled up on the ship.

In fact, Pu Yi didn't know that there was also a large barrel of gasoline hidden on the ship, and when he was found by the Chinese army and could not escape, the Japanese soldiers set fire to it, so that Pu Yi and the others died with the ship.

Pu Yi's butt is probably not more than three meters away from gasoline, but Pu Yi thinks that it is getting closer and closer to "happiness"!

Captain Yoshida and Captain Makata left the steamboat, the steamboat left the dock, and the lights came on. Pu Yi looked at the night view of the river through the window, and his heart was full of emotion. During the day, Pu Yi had been to Baihe several times, and on Japanese destroyers, Pu Yi had the illusion that Baihe would be Pu Yi's future rush to the other side of the ocean, looking for a way to restore foreign aid. Now that Pu Yi is really sailing on this river, he can't help but get carried away, and he is so happy that he wants to find something to talk about.

However, Pu Yi was too happy, and Zheng told Pu Yi: "The foreign concession has passed, and there is the power of the Chinese in front of it. The place in the military grain city is guarded by the Chinese army! ”

Hearing this, Pu Yi's heart suddenly rose to his throat. Look at the Zheng father and son and those Japanese, they all have a straight face and don't say a word. At least two hours later, with every nerve taut, suddenly a shout came from the shore:

"Stop—boat!"

Pu Yi almost collapsed on the ground as if his nerves had been severed. Several Japanese soldiers in the cabin snorted and went to the deck, and there were whispered passwords and messy footsteps from the deck! …,

Pu Yi looked out the window and saw that there were people lying behind each sandbag, holding a gun and preparing to shoot. But the speed of the ship seemed to be decreasing, and the course seemed to be close to the river bank. Pu Yi was puzzled, suddenly the lights went out, and gunshots rang out on the shore, almost at the same time, the sound of the machine suddenly became loud, and the hull of the ship accelerated suddenly, only to feel a crooked, as if it was soaring to sweep the shore, and the shouts and gunshots on the shore gradually weakened behind. It turned out that the Japanese had already prepared this hand, first pretending to obey orders, and then taking advantage of the unpreparedness on the shore and escaping in a smoke.

After a while, the lights came back on, and the cabin was alive. In the middle of the night, when they arrived outside the mouth of Dagu, while waiting for the merchant ship "Awaji Maru" to exit to pick up Pu Yi, the Japanese soldiers brought out miso soup, salted cabbage and Japanese sake, and Zheng Xiaoxu became active. talked about the same kind of Chinese and Japanese texts, and portrayed this thrilling experience as part of the "heroic cause". He toasted to the Japanese soldiers, and the poetry flourished. improvised a poem:

"The two emperors of the same continent want to respect the same, and the seven guests are in the same boat to try to discuss together; People are determined to win the day, and they should not say much about each other. ”

Zheng Xiaoxu later carved two stamps for Pu Yi, one was "Don't forget to be in Ju", and the other was "Hutuo wheat rice". The former is borrowed from the story of Lu Zhaogong's Benju, implying that Pu Yi will not forget the danger, that is, don't forget the night Pu Yi was with him; The latter is the story of Liu Xiu's defeat and walking away from the Hutuo River, and the general Feng Yi of the big tree baked clothes and cooked wheat rice for him to satisfy his hunger.

Zheng Xiaoxu compared Pu Yi to Liu Xiu, and he himself was naturally compared to General Dashu.

Zheng Xiaoxu's joy that night, in addition to the fact that he had become a victor among the group of people around Pu Yi, probably another reason for inconvenient to say was that he saw their unanimity in the superficial friction and disagreement between the Japanese military and government earlier than anyone else.

On the "Awaji Maru", Zheng Xiaoxu talked about the ambition of governing the country and leveling the world for a whole day, and after two days, Puyi arrived at the "Manchurian" wharf in Yingkou City, Liaoning Province.

Why did he go to Shenyang to land from Yingkou, Pu Yi had never considered this question at all, Pu Yi only thought about how the people of the Northeast would pick up Pu Yi at the Yingkou wharf. In Pu Yi's imagination, there must have been a crowd cheering there

The scene, just like Pu Yi saw in the Japanese Overseas Chinese Primary School in the Japanese Concession in Tianjin, people waved small flags and shouted long live to Pu Yi. But the closer the hull is to the dock, the less it is like that.

There were no crowds, and no flags. When I got ashore, I realized that not only were there very few people to greet me, but all of them were Japanese.

After the introduction of Kamikaku Riichi, I knew that these were all people sent by Itagaki, and the leader was called Masahiko Gansu.

Gansu Masahiko didn't say anything, so he let Pu Yi and Zheng's father and son into the prepared carriage, drove Pu Yi to the railway station, got on the train, sat for about an hour, and changed the carriage. In this way, Pu Yi arrived at a hot spring recuperation area called Tanggangzi, which is about 100 miles away from Yingkou.

Pu Yi walked into the Cui Ge Hot Spring Hotel with a suspicious mood.

The Tsui Ge Hotel is a Japanese "Manchurian Railway" enterprise, a Japanese-style European-style western-style building with gorgeous equipment, and only Japanese military officers, Manchurian high-ranking personnel and Chinese bureaucrats are qualified to live.

Pu Yi was taken into a very elaborate guest room upstairs, where Pu Yi met Luo Zhenyu, Shang Yanying and Tong Jixu. Seeing them, Pu Yi immediately became happy.

Luo Zhenyu told Pu Yi that he was discussing with the Kwantung Army about the restoration of the country, and said that it was not appropriate to leak the news of Pu Yi's arrival here before the end of the talks, and that no one other than him should come forward.

The real intention of his words Pu Yi did not understand, but Pu Yi thought that he had clarified a mystery: no wonder there was no warm welcome, it turned out that people didn't know that they were coming.

Pu Yi believed that the negotiations with the Japanese would be easy, and the news of Pu Yi's restoration of the Qing emperor would soon be announced, and it would not be so cold at that time.

Pu Yi thought very happily, and didn't notice the strange look of the Zheng father and son after listening to Luo Zhenyu's words. Pu Yi happily ate a unique Japanese meal, looked at the night of this scenic area for a while from the window, and then went to sleep happily.

After a night, Pu Yi realized that this time it was too early to be happy!

After washing, Pu Yi greeted Qi Jizhong, who was with him, and said that Pu Yi was going out for a walk and looking at the scenery near the left. …,

"No, don't let it out!" Qi Jizhong said with a sad face.

"Why not?" Pu Yi asked in surprise, "Who said that?" Go downstairs and ask! ”

"I won't even let you go downstairs!"

Pu Yi only knew at this time that the Cui Ge Hotel had been blocked, not only were people outside not allowed to enter the hotel, but people living downstairs also did not want to go upstairs, especially puzzling, why were not even the people upstairs allowed to go down? Looking for Luo Zhenyu, I don't know where to go. How could he get out? Zheng Xiaoxu's father and son were very angry and asked Pu Yi to ask the Japanese what was going on.

The Japanese who accompanied Puyi to live here were led by Kamikaku Riichi and Masahiko Katsuga. Qi Jizhong found the upper corner, and he smiled and said in Japanese Chinese:

"This is for safety, for the safety of Emperor Xuantong."

"How long have the Pu Yi lived here?" Zheng Xiaoxu asked.

"Itagari Dasa's is up to you."

Pu Yi was impatient: "What about Xiqia them? Didn't Luo Zhenyu say that Xiqia wanted to pick me up? ”

"This, too, listen to Itagaki Daisa."

"What about Luo Zhenyu?" Zheng asked.

"I went to Shenyang to find Itagaki Daisa. The question of the new country is still being discussed, and when the discussion reaches a consensus, I will come to ask Emperor Xuantong to go. ”

"Oops!" Zheng Chui shook his hand and stepped aside angrily. This "rude in front of the king" behavior made Pu Yi very unaccustomed to it.

However, what attracted Pu Yi's attention even more at this time was that the "new country" issue mentioned in the upper corner was still being discussed. This is too strange, didn't Tu Feiyuan and Xiqia both say that everything was fine, just waiting for Pu Yi to preside over the plan? What does it mean that the top corner now says "still discussed"? Pu Yi asked this question, and Shangjiao Liyi replied vaguely:

"Such a big thing, how can it be said and done. Emperor Xuantong doesn't need to be in a hurry, he will naturally invite Emperor Xuantong to go when the time comes. ”

"Where are you going?" Zheng Trai hurriedly walked over and interjected, "To Mukden?" ”

"Itagaki Dasa's is up to you!" ）
