On this day, Lao Jiuyun Shangqi, who had just returned to the army after performing the task, received a new task from the chief Xu Shiyou.

It turned out that the Eighth Route Army of Yang Guofu's department in the northwest of Lijin, Shandong Province, was plotting against Wang Xueting, head of the Ninth Security Regiment of the Fifth District of the Kuomintang. At this juncture, in order to take credit in front of the Japanese master, Deng Xueliang, a big traitor stationed in Yantai, Zhao Baoyuan's subordinate, wanted to use his relationship with Wang Xueting's former classmate to pull Wang Xueting's department to the puppet army, that is, the side of the Imperial Cooperative Army. Deng Xueliang first sent people to Wang Xueting's Gaomi hometown, and used lies to deceive Wang Xueting's mother, wife and other family members to Yantai, put him under house arrest, and then threatened Wang Xueting to comply. After receiving this news, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was very anxious and immediately gave instructions: it was required to try to get rid of Deng Xueliang as soon as possible and rescue Wang Xueting's family safely.

Yun Shangqi received the task and selected two capable soldiers, and the three of them came to Yantai in disguise.

Through several days of investigation, Yun Shangqi quickly figured out the pattern of Deng Xueliang's activities and the Tibetan residence. But the traitor Deng Xueliang is very cunning, he lives in a simple place on weekdays, and even if he comes out, he is always cautious and guarded at all levels, and the precautions are in place. In addition, the house where the hostages are under house arrest is also three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and is heavily guarded. In the event of a strong attack, I am afraid that the safety of the hostages cannot be guaranteed. Just when Yun Shangqi was at a loss, a stumbled discovery caught his attention.

It turned out that through careful observation and in-depth visits, Yun Shangqi found that although these traitors behaved obediently, conscientiously, and commendably to their masters, the Japanese, the Japanese did not believe them in their bones, and they were always on guard against them. The Japanese not only planted eyeliner around these traitors, but also sent people to follow and keep track of their daily activities. More importantly, even the letters and other items exchanged in daily exchanges are quietly reviewed and checked in advance.

Recently, Deng Xueliang has been abnormal, frequently engaged in private activities, quietly contacted Wang Xueting, and his private actions were very frequent. Deng Xueliang's original intention was to wait for the success of the rebellion so as to give the Japanese a big surprise, but instead of thinking about it, he lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot, and his sneaky and desperate behavior greatly aroused the suspicion of the already suspicious and panicked Japanese, followed by dissatisfaction, and finally anger.

Knowing these circumstances, Yun Shangqi immediately waved his pen and wrote a letter to Deng Xueliang under the pretense of Wang Xueting's tone, to the effect that he has been a classmate for many years, and his brotherhood is deep, and I have long known that brother, your enthusiasm for serving the country can be the same as heaven and earth. Over the years, you have been in Cao Ying, and your heart is in Han, and it is not easy to endure humiliation and burden. Now that the great cause is to be determined, the party and the state urgently need you and other talents, and I hope that you will fulfill the contract and lead the people to return and work together for a grand cause. If this is the case, the brother will greet each other in person, celebrate with wine, and the brother will be drunk and rest.

The Japanese intercepted the letter and secretly opened it for examination. It's really just a matter of not looking at it, this closer look is simply going to blow up the liver and lungs: on the surface, Deng Xueliang, the old boy, is obedient, and he shouts allegiance to the emperor every day, but it turns out that he secretly wants to lead troops to rebel - what a big boldness! In a fit of rage, he cut off Deng Xueliang's head with a knife.

Deng Xueliang was killed here, the blood had not been wiped clean, and the news immediately spread to Deng Xueliang's puppet army garrison like wings, and the entire puppet military camp swept away the arrogant posture of the past and was arrogant and domineering.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Yun Shangqi and the three of them disguised themselves as Japanese officers and soldiers and drove to the house of Wang Xueting's family under house arrest. The puppet army guarding was talking about the killing of Deng Xueliang, and suddenly saw the Japanese coming to him, he was afraid, and he couldn't help but tremble, tremble, and stammer, where did he dare to do any more inspection and questioning, hurriedly nodded his head, accompanied him carefully, and trotted all the way to send the group out of the courtyard .......

Yun Shangqi drove all the way west and sent Wang Xueting's family to the residence arranged by Yun Shangyi, the sixth brother of Jinan.

A few days later, Wang Xueting led his troops to revolt as promised.
