"Tuanza, what am I doing at the regimental headquarters?"

"Lao Fan, your cooking skills are good, you can cook at home, and wait for us to come back and set up a celebration wine!"

After Li Hong finished explaining, he quickly stepped on a war horse and left the security regiment with 20 soldiers.

After leaving the security group, Li Hong asked the thin monkey to lead the way in front, and the group rode out of the city on horseback and went straight to Little Stone Town.

In order not to attract the attention of the little devil spies on the road, everyone gave up the car and chose to ride a horse to follow the path.

Before leaving, Li Hong also asked his brothers to prepare a few sets of civilian clothes in case of emergency.

Xiaoshi Town is about 20 kilometers south of Xin County, and if you ride a horse, you can reach it in about an hour.

"Phew!"

After traveling for a while, suddenly, Li Hong grabbed the reins, and the horse team behind him also stopped.

He jumped off his horse and beckoned to the brothers of the security group: "Brothers, come here, we can't fight the little devils on an empty stomach, eat something first." ”

Two soldiers stood guard nearby, and the rest stepped forward to collect a box of German rations, then sat down on the ground and ate it.

Individual field rations, which can be eaten directly without special processing, are ideal for soldiers on long marches.

Priing open the lid of a box of rations, Li Hong saw that the food inside was quite rich, including bread, sausages, and biscuits......

"Tuanza, where did such a high-end individual ration come from? This is much better than the field rations of the Central Army. The thin monkey bit the fragrant sausage and asked Li Hong casually.

"Skinny monkey, are you looking for a fight?" The Hu Bald Boy who was sitting on the side slapped the thin monkey on the head, and said in a fake way: "You former security guards listen, don't ask anything more in the future, just remember one thing, that is, absolutely obey the orders of the regiment!" ”

"Yes, understood, don't ask, absolutely obey!" Skinny Monkey and the rest of the security team nodded hurriedly.

After eating some food and resting for a while, everyone mounted their horses and continued towards Little Stone.

On the way, Li Hong also learned some things about the landlord Qian Shiming from the thin monkey.

Qian Shiming is a well-known local landlord bully, and he is also nicknamed Qian Vicious Dog.

The landlord Qian Shiming knew many local well-known local tyrants and officials, and he also had a security team dedicated to defrauding the good.

Therefore, the people in the town are very afraid of him, and it is reasonable for this kind of person to secretly collude with the little devils.

The horseback continued to gallop for half an hour, and when they were still half a mile from the town, Li Hong and the others stopped in a wood.

"Thin monkey, Hu bald, the two of you will take a few brothers to the vicinity of Qian Shiming's house in the town to step on some reconnaissance of the situation, and we will arrive later."

"Understood."

Several of the security corps soldiers quickly changed themselves into civilian clothes.

They hid their submachine guns in their bags and dressed as out-of-town vendors, and soon rode into the town.

Li Hong and the soldiers of the security regiment dispersed into the town, so as not to be discovered and suspicious by the devil spies, after all, there are many people and they are too attention-grabbing.

"Listen, don't be sensitive and nervous when you enter the town, if someone asks us what we're here for, just say that we're passing by on a business trip."

The soldiers nodded one after another, remembering Li Hong's reminder.

After more than ten minutes, Li Hong took the rest of the soldiers of the security regiment and rode into the town with a tall horse.

Stone Town is a relatively concentrated and lively town around Xin County, several teahouses and taverns stand on both sides of the street, hawkers and merchants shout loudly, passers-by walk on the bluestone road in twos and threes.

A teashed shopkeeper stood on the side of the road to solicit business, and when he saw Li Hong and his party riding from the street, he greeted him warmly.

"Bosses, come in and rest and eat a bowl of herbal tea?"

Li Hong grabbed the reins and jumped off the horse, and walked into the tea shed on the side of the road, and the soldiers of the security regiment tied their horses and followed them into the tea shed.

His eyes vigilantly swept the chatting crowd and pedestrians on the road, there were so many people of all kinds on the road, even if the devil spy was hiding in it, it would definitely not be able to tell the difference.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how do you have time to come to this town?" The tea shack shopkeeper asked as if chatting.

A soldier of the security regiment said casually: "We have a business passing by, so we will leave as soon as we rest." ”

The shopkeeper didn't ask anything more, just quietly watched the security corps soldiers.

In the process of pouring tea from the store just now, Li Hong noticed that there were calluses on the index finger of the store's palm and the tiger's mouth.

The presence of such a callus on the palm of his hand indicates that he is a person who plays with knives and guns all year round, so he is suspicious of the shopkeeper.

In order to test whether there was really something wrong with the store, Li Hong pulled out the shell gun in the holster, pretended to be a gun and fired a shot at the corner where no one was on the side.

"Smack!"

When the surrounding pedestrians heard the gunshots, they immediately fled in panic or bent down to dodge.

But there was no trace of panic in the shopkeeper's expression, but subconsciously touched the back of his waist and made a skillful action similar to pulling out a gun.

"Damn, this broken gun keeps going off!"

"Oh, boss, you quickly put away the gun, don't hurt anyone, I was scared and trembling when I saw this thing."

The shopkeeper pretended to be frightened, and then he took off the towel draped over his shoulders and threw it a few times towards the side of the street with a purpose, as if he was signaling something to someone.

Everything that the store showed just now didn't seem to be weird, but it didn't escape Li Hong's keen eyes.

Obviously, there is definitely something wrong with this store!
