73 The Gate of Passage

"Will Zhongtong do things above board?" The implication of Elder Wei's words is that Boss Dai secretly sent someone here to investigate, and he will not admit it.

But the two military attachΓ©s said, "I'm really sorry, you have to come with us!" ”

Elder Wei raised his hands to show obedience.

At this moment, there was an explosion in the backyard outside the window, and the elder Wei came out with both hands, grabbed the neck of a military attache with one hand, and broke the necks of the two with a tiger's mouth.

He pushed open the window, jumped down from the second-floor window, rolled on the ground, bumped into these patrol soldiers, grabbed under the courtyard wall like a whirlwind, jumped over, grabbed the wall, shrank his body, and climbed over the courtyard wall almost three meters high, and escaped from the courtyard under the surprised gaze of these patrol soldiers.

Xiao Xu stood outside the courtyard wall in a daze, and the elder Wei took her hand and began to run wildly.

Turning the corner, Elder Wei asked her: "Why did you throw a grenade into the courtyard, it's not time yet!" ”

Xiao Xu said: "But I haven't seen you come out, so I'm worried that you will be in danger!" ”

At this time, there was a hurried whistle on the street, and the elder Wei pulled her to the Dongcheng Inn while throwing off the officer's uniform on her body. The two slipped back to the inn through the back door and returned to the stove room.

When Gong Qingzhen and Ye Shuyang saw the two returning, they were relieved.

Elder Wei handed over the battery to Gong Qingzhen, and Ye Shuyang whispered: "I have already given these guys the medicated wine to drink!" ”

"You're too nonsense, hurry up and let everyone hide, don't come out without my permission!"

Ye Shuyang went to inform the store guys.

Gong Qingzhen and they fell asleep with a rain cloth next to the stove.

Elder Wei closed the door of the stove room.

The guy at the inn also plugged in the back door of the inn and returned to the room.

When the shopkeeper received a message from Ye Shuyang, he blew out the oil lamp on the counter.

The officers were so drunk that they either went back to their rooms to sleep or fell asleep on their desks.

It was pitch black in the inn, Ye Shuyang stretched out his hand to knock out the innkeeper, and the elder Wei also left the shopkeeper.

The inn began to be haunted, and the ghosts cried wolf howls one after another, and the drunken officers were awakened by the strange noise, and hurriedly pulled out their waists and put their guns in their arms.

But their trembling hands couldn't pull the trigger, and two red-eyed male and female demons quickly attacked, stunning them directly.

However, after they were woken up, they encountered the pair of evil ghosts again, and some officers pulled the trigger, but found that the bullets could not cause harm to the two evil ghosts, so they peed their pants in fright, and some even broke the bitter gall.

After a whole night's trouble, the awakened officers fled the inn in unison.

The innkeeper woke up slowly, and when he saw these officers, he asked the guys, "What about the bosses?" ”

Elder Wei stepped into the lobby from the back door and replied loudly: "They won't be bothering you, you can open the door to do business with peace of mind!" ”

The innkeeper showed a questioning look, and the shopkeeper hurriedly said to him: "This master has great powers and is very powerful, and he is the one who drove away these scourges!" ”

However, the door of the inn was violently slammed, and the shouts of the gendarmes came from outside the door: "Open the door and search for the red bandits!" ”

Elder Wei immediately retreated to the backyard and called Ye Shuyang and said, "Let's go out of the city, you stay in the inn and don't act rashly, wait for us to come back!" ”

Gong Qingzhen and Xiao Xu responded, and the shopkeeper hid them in the inner room.

The elder Wei changed into the black robe of the priest, took the road guide and took Ye Shuyang out of the city.

A large number of defeated soldiers poured into the county, and Brigade Commander Ma came out of the division headquarters with a depressed face, and ordered his soldiers to go out of the city again and go up the mountain to encircle and suppress the "red bandits".

When it was almost dark, the elder Wei came out of the church with Ye Shuyang and rushed back to the county seat.

After returning to the inn, Gong Qingzhen and Xiao Xu were safe.

After dinner, the eldest elder Wei said to the innkeeper: "We are going to continue to pursue our main force, you and the fast-legged rabbit stay, secretly convey information for the eldest Liu, you have to hide this radio station, if you can't use it, you can let the eldest Liu send a newspaper operator over!" ”

The innkeeper and the "fast-legged rabbit" looked at him, not knowing what to say.

That night, the elder Wei and Gong Qingzhen used this radio to send a telegram to the elder Liu, reporting the situation in the city.

When Gong Qingzhen was about to shut down the radio station, she received a set of familiar signals, and after translating, she found that it was sent by the main force of the central government, and the message instructed: "Leave the men and horses to continue to carry out work behind enemy lines, and pay attention to preserving forces." ”

"It's a telegram from the central government, I'm sure!" Gong Qingzhen said excitedly.

Elder Wei said: "But we still have to follow the big army, because I also received a secret message from my superiors, and we will leave tomorrow!" ”

Xiao Xu asked rhetorically: "Then don't we follow the instructions of our superiors?" ”

Elder Wei explained: "The order of the superiors was given to Elder Liu, and our task remains the same!" ”

Early in the morning of the second day, the proprietress and the shopkeeper prepared dry food and water for them on the road, and then returned the two strings of silver ornaments to Ye Shuyang, saying: "This was originally yours, I didn't plan to really accept it, and now that the windmill grass girl is gone, I will return this thing to you!" ”

Ye Shuyang left the silver ornaments of the windmill grass, stuffed his silver ornaments into the hands of the proprietress and said, "This string is left for you as a souvenir!" ”

As soon as the city gate opened, the elder Wei sent Gong Qingzhen and Xiao Xu out of the city, but he retreated into the city, and it was not until after dawn that he and Ye Shuyang went to the pharmacy in the county to buy some daily Western medicine.

The "red bandits" were still being searched for in the city, but the elder Wei took Ye Shuyang out of the city quickly with Ye Shuyang under the cover of a foreign missionary, and met Gong Qingzhen and Xiao Xu in the church.

Once again, they embark on a journey in search of the Great Army.

A few days later, in front of a lonely stone gate in Longyan Ridge, the elder Wei said to his companions: "There are still shortcuts in the world, everyone follow me, and you will definitely be able to catch up with our army!" ”

After dark, they walked through the stone gate.

Passing through the stone gate, it was dawn again, and they appeared in a bustling city.

Elder Wei casually handed over a newsboy, bought a copy of the "Central Daily", and inspected the time and the latest news.

The headline in the newspapers was that the Kuomintang had mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to prepare to wipe out the main force of the Red Bandits and the Jinsha River and the Dadu River.

The women listened to the news in the newspaper and couldn't help but get worried.

Xiao Xu said: "Our main force must be in that area, let's hurry up and join them!" ”

The elder Wei said: "Don't worry, let's stay in the city first, and then take action after finding out the situation!" ”

This is the provincial capital of Guidu, although it is backward compared to other provincial capitals, but at least it is also a provincial capital, and the inns outside the city have been converted into hotels.

The eldest elder Wei opened two rooms in the Good Luck Hotel outside the city as a foreigner, and Ye Shuyang wanted to live with him, but Xiao Xu immediately objected.

Gong Qingzhen also persuaded: "Old Wei, this is an extraordinary time, the two of you are not married yet, it is best not to live together!" ”

Elder Wei said: "Don't worry, I won't go beyond it." ”

After settling down, he took Ye Shuyang into the city, first went to a dress shop, ordered two sets of clothes, and then went to a watch shop and bought four foreign watches at once.
