Hearing Tian Deshan's words, Liu Tianshu looked out of the dark window, and after a while, he turned around and looked at Tian Deshan's expectant gaze apologetically.

"Mr. Tian, after I escaped from Beiping, I saw with my own eyes that many people paid their precious lives to protect us. I promised Uncle Zhao and Uncle Liu that I must send Zhao Xiaomei and Liu Hai to Wuyang County safely and hand them over to them intact, so Wuyang must go. Besides, Xinhe County is located deep in the mountains, and the little devil may not have the energy to pay attention to it for a while, and it doesn't make much sense for me to stay here, Mr. Tian, if I have the opportunity in the future, I am willing to fight side by side with Mr. Tian. ”

Hearing Liu Tianshu's euphemistic rejection of his suggestion, although Tian Deshan was a little disappointed, it was also expected, he nodded and said: "You are right, to be a man is to keep your promises, I believe that with your skills, no matter where you are, you will be useful." It's a pity that I have something to do, and I can't accompany you to Wuyang in person, but he will escort you to Wuyang. ”

"Mr. Tian is polite, I believe we will meet in the future." Liu Tianshu said with a faint smile.

Tian Deshan's willingness to leave Liu Tianshu was not realized, but he still carefully introduced the situation from Xinhe to Wuyang to Liu Tianshu.

It turned out that he had been active in the western Hebei region for the past few years, and he was very familiar with the situation in Liugu County, Xinhe County, and Wuyang County; after learning that he and several comrades had been rescued from prison, the Xinhe County Party Committee immediately reported the situation to the higher authorities, and before the decision of the higher authorities came down, he, Su Shufen, and others stayed in Xinhe County for the time being to assist the Xinhe County Party Committee in carrying out the work of mobilizing the masses.

After reporting his situation in prison to the leaders of the Xinhe County Party Committee, Secretary Chen of the Xinhe County Party Committee informed him of the recent situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, especially in Shanxi, where the work of the party organizations in various localities has been greatly strengthened as the main force of the Eighth Route Army has left for the Shanxi battlefield, and the central task at present is to let go of the masses and build anti-Japanese armed forces.

Secretary Chen heard Tian Deshan say that he had discovered a military talent, and he still became interested in Liu Tianshu, and instructed Tian Deshan to keep Liu Tianshu as much as possible.

It's just that Secretary Chen, as the ******** of the underground party, still has some limited vision, although he signaled Tian Deshan to try his best to persuade Liu Tianshu, but he didn't attach much importance to Liu Tianshu in his heart.

Besides, Liu Tianshu's identity has yet to be determined, even if Liu Tianshu agrees to stay, he will use it carefully.

After resting for a day in Xinhe County, Liu Tianshu and his entourage embarked on the road to Wuyang County under the eyes of Tian Deshan.

Luo Yuanda, as a local, knows the situation in this area very well, after the group walked out of the city, to a fork in the road, Luo Yuanda stopped, looked at Liu Tianshu and said: "Brother Tianshu, there are two roads here that can be rushed to Wuyang, one is a big road, but it is far away for fifty miles, and the other is a mountain road, which is more difficult to walk, but it is nearly fifty miles." ”

Liu Tianshu glanced at Jiang Meijuan and the others standing on the side of the road when he heard the sound, thought for a while and said, "Take the mountain road, so that you can get to Wuyang County early." ”

Hearing that Liu Tianshu decided to take the mountain road, Luo Yuanda hesitated for a moment and said: "Brother Tianshu, if you have to pass through Longya Mountain when you take the mountain road, you are afraid of encountering bandits." ”

"Bandits?" Liu Tianshu couldn't help but be stunned.

"There is a group of bandits entrenched in Longya Mountain, the name of the big boss is Tang Tianheng, nicknamed the Whirlwind Knife, it is said that he came down from Wutai Mountain, and the Whirlwind Knife in one hand rarely encounters opponents. However, this gang of bandits generally does not rob the civilian population. However, the world is chaotic at the moment, and I haven't passed through Longya Mountain for a few months. Luo Yuanda introduced.

"Bandits? We are not even afraid of the Japanese devil, are we afraid of his whirlwind knife? Besides, we're just passing by, and we're not a big family, so what's wrong with him? Hao Mengcheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said loudly.

"That's right, Brother Tianshu, it doesn't matter if he is a whirlwind knife or a whirlwind knife, as long as he dares to stand in our way, let him become a headless knife." Shi Qiang said on the side.

In the battle in Liugu County, Shi Qiang was ordered by Liu Tianshu to protect the safety of Zhao Xiaomei and others, and he had no chance to fight with the little devil.

In his eyes, Brother Tianshu is a god-like figure, not only killed the laughing mountain tiger of Lao Ye Village, but also made Qin Feihan, the big boss of Lao Ye Village, obediently spit out the belongings he had and released all the hostages.

"Hehe, Qiangzi, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, we are just passing by, and the heroes who want to come to Longya Mountain will not embarrass us." As soon as he said this, he decided to take the mountain road.

It is said that it is a mountain road, but in fact, the road can also be used for horse-drawn carriages, but the road is rugged and more difficult to walk.

This time from Xinhe County to Wuyang County, considering that Jiang Meijuan and other girls were in poor health, Liu Tianshu asked Jiang Meijuan to pay for a carriage.

Anyway, Jiang Meijuan's family has money, and besides, he escorted the three of them to Shanxi this time, and confiscated their fees, could it be that he made up the money to buy a carriage for them?

Although Liu Tianshu is currently a rich man, he is not the master who spends money indiscriminately.

As for the chariot drivers, they were ready-made. The two brothers of the Hao family drove the carriage to escort the goods, which happened to be their strength.

However, hearing Luo Yuanda say that there were bandits in Longya Mountain, Liu Tianshu still asked Shi Qiang, Liu Hai and Zhao Xiaomei to prepare, and as for himself, the twenty rings also prepared three magazines in advance.

It was the flower machine gun, which was also assembled by Shi Qiang at this time, and the remaining two magazines were all loaded with bullets and ready to fight.

When leaving Xinhe County, Liu Tianshu purchased a batch of shell bullets from the black market through Tian Deshan, and the bullets used in the machine gun were the same as those of the pistol bullets, which solved the problem of bullets.

It's a pity that the two brothers of the Hao family can only use the 38 big cover, but fortunately, the two of them collected more than 100 bullets in Liugu County, and along the way, Liu Tianshu pointed out the essentials of the gun, and the shooting skills of the two have increased a lot.

Although the 38 big cover is a standard weapon of the Japanese army, as early as before the 77 Incident, there were many such weapons in Shanxi and Hebei, and it is not eye-catching for the two to carry it.

Under the guidance of Liu Tianshu, Shi Qiang was very familiar with the assembly and disassembly of this flower machine gun, and when he had time, he also disassembled and assembled it blindfolded with a black cloth according to Liu Tianshu's requirements.

After stepping on the trail and turning into the mountain, Shi Qiang and Luo Yuanda walked in front, the two brothers of the Hao family were in charge of catching up with the car and walked in the middle, Jiang Meijuan, Liu Juan and Jiang Jinlong Jiang Jinhu were sitting in the carriage, Fu Jinyang was not willing to be with the little master of the Jiang family, he simply followed Liu Hai and walked beside the carriage, while Zhao Xiaomei and Liu Tianshu walked behind the carriage.

At noon, the group found some water in a mountain village, ate dry food, rested for about an hour, and then continued to walk.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, they finally walked to the foot of Longya Mountain.

Hearing Luo Yuanda, who was walking in front, reminding him that Longya Mountain had arrived, Liu Tianshu said everyone be careful, and began to look at the surrounding terrain.

I saw the mountain road slowly climb up the hillside, and then turn a valley, surrounded by lush trees, from time to time I heard birds chirping, coupled with the murmuring of the stream, there is a bit of wild interest.

However, except for their group, there were no people at all on the entire mountain road, and there were no people.

"Brother Tianshu, after this valley, over the mountains in front, and not far down, you will reach the official road leading to Wuyang County." Luo Yuanda's voice revealed nervousness.

Liu Tianshu nodded, his eyes staring at the surroundings even more vigilantly.

Although he is not a rich person in his party, it is not excluded that bandits will rob the road.

Thinking of this, his hand touched the pistol at his waist and at the same time checked the saber hidden in his calf.

Hao Meng preached the horsewhip, drove the carriage unhurriedly, turned a small hill, and saw that the road was gradually smoothing out in the forest, but it turned a small corner.

Shi Qiang slowed down at this time and slowly pulled out the gun placed on his waist.

Seeing this, Liu Tianshu frowned, and his eyes were fixed on the surroundings.

Suddenly, Luo Yuanda, who was walking in front, stopped and suddenly shouted in his mouth: "Everyone be careful." ”

Liu Tianshu heard the sound and looked forward, a thick tree fell on the mountain road, and the leaves stretched horizontally, blocking the road tightly.

Just as Hao Mengxuan shouted in his mouth and stopped the carriage, the surrounding woods suddenly heard a shout that no one should move, and whoever moved would be killed, and at the same time, more than a dozen people with various guns came out of the woods.

As soon as these people jumped out of the woods, they aimed their black guns at Liu Tianshu and his party.

Seeing this, Liu Tianshu sighed in his heart, it seems that he can come whatever he wants.

He saw that his party was surrounded on the road, and the other party was condescending, so he immediately stopped Shi Qiang and Hao Mengcheng from moving, raised his hands, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, our party escaped from Liugu County, and there are many disturbances on the way through your place, so please make it convenient for all heroes." ”

Most of these bandits gathered in the Wuthering Mountains and forests were forced to enter the mountains to become bandits, and in the Yanzhao area, these bandits were bold and righteous, and generally did not embarrass the poor people.

Seeing that the people on the mountain road were very cooperative, the two bandits in the mountain forest flashed to the side, revealing a sturdy man, whose face seemed to be cut into a knife, and a pair of eagle eyes swept towards Liu Tianshu.

It's just that these bandits, Liu Tianshu didn't take it to heart, what alerted him was that the two bandits were hiding in the forest and always aimed their guns at this side, and the muzzles of the guns were motionless, judging from their movements, they should have good marksmanship.

If he had to do it, he planned to deal with these two threats as soon as possible.

"Don't talk nonsense, I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave the money to buy the road, I see that you are also the master of knowledge, in this way, put down your belongings, and we will not embarrass you." The man said fiercely.

"This good man, we are all ordinary people, and our homes are occupied by devils, so how can we have any property. I've got this little ocean left, or you can take it all. As he spoke, Liu Tianshu stretched out his hand into his arms.
