"They are from Yan'an, and just now a guard beside him called him the chief, and it is estimated that his position is not low." Liao Fan said.

"People from Yan'an, what you just said, did you remind them to be careful that there is an ambush on the road?" Liao Jundong didn't understand why Liao Fan talked so much to them.

"There was an ambush, but not on their way there, on their way back." Liao Fan said, "Brother, let's hurry up and join Changsheng as soon as possible." ”

"I don't know what happened to them in Changsheng?" Liao Jundong.

Liao Fan didn't say anything, but he was more worried about immortalizing them, that was his family, and he had to rely on that army to develop.

"Chief, how does he know where we're going, and what does he mean by what he said just now?" A few people just now were walking on a small road.

"This person is not ordinary, people can't see through it, and after I go back, let people check his details." The chief shook his head. "In terms of clothing, they should be Kuomintang troops, and it is really not easy for this person to hide so many troops in such a small place."

"Chief, the Kuomintang troops have all withdrawn to the south, how can they go north?" A guard asked.

"Look at their attire, it's like after a big war, maybe they broke away from their own team when they fought." The wounded chiefs also did not understand why such a regular army had reached the enemy theater of operations.

"Are they deserters?"

"No way, deserters don't have such good discipline, the important thing is that I saw that those scouts were in good spirits, deserters are not like this, send a telegram to the chairman when I go back and check it out." Although Liao Fan saved them, they did not relax their vigilance against Liao Fan at all.

Liao Fan, who was walking all the way, didn't expect that these people were pondering him, and he was careful with the troops along the way, trying not to contact the little devils as much as possible.

At noon, Liao Fan asked Liao Jundong to rest in place with the troops, and Liao Fan himself went out with a reconnaissance squad to reconnoiter the terrain. Liao Fan opened the map and looked at the route on the map, there was a county town in front of him, which had been occupied by the little devils, blocking their way, and if they bypassed, they would have to walk for two or three more days.

Liao Fan took three soldiers to disguise themselves as businessmen and went to the county town to investigate the situation. Liao Fan entered the city, first found a teahouse and ordered a pot of tea, and the owner of the teahouse was a woman.

"Hostess, have a pot of hot tea." Liao Fan found a place by the window and sat down.

"How many people don't sound like locals with accents?" The proprietress poured tea for Liao Fan and them.

"Oh, we're doing business from out of town." Liao Fan glanced at the proprietress .

"Hey! This is a mess, and business is not easy to do. The hostess asked.

"The proprietress asked you about something, the last time we came here, it was still in the hands of the Kuomintang, when did the Japanese come?"

The proprietress looked around, but no one noticed him here: "Big brother, I'll tell you the truth, don't talk nonsense, it's not a few days since the little devil came, it's not that the regular troops of the Kuomintang have withdrawn, we have a security regiment here, there are more than 1,000 people, the little devil came, and he didn't let go of a shot, he became a traitor, it's really not a thing." ”

"It seems that the boss lady is also really temperamental, I don't know the head of this security team?"

"It seems that the eldest brother is not a well-behaved businessman, so it doesn't hurt to tell you, as for the news......" The proprietress glanced at Liao Fan.

Liao Fan knew what the proprietress meant, and took out a piece of ocean from his pocket: "As long as the proprietress is willing to say, this is yours." ”

"That's so embarrassing," the proprietress took the ocean in Liao Fan's hand and said with a smile, "Their head is called Yan Xuechang, and now the people in the city call him the Living Yama King. He also used the little devil to support him, and he went everywhere in the fish and meat villages, making the people unpeaceful. ”

has already found out that he is not a businessman, Liao Fan did not hide it, and asked him what he wanted in one breath: "Does the boss lady know, where does Yan Xuechang's family live?" And how many little devils are stationed in the county? ”

"The home of the living king of Hades does not live in the city, there is a town two miles southeast of the city, called Liuye Town, the largest courtyard in the town, is his house, he has a wife at home, and he is allowed to go back at night." The proprietress explained the situation in detail, "As for the little devils here, I don't know very well, there are about seventy or eighty people. ”

Liao Fan asked the proprietress some questions, and the proprietress answered truthfully, interrupted by a noise outside. Liao Fan looked out the window, and there were more than a dozen puppet soldiers overturning a small vendor's stall.

The small vendor knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy: "Grandfathers, we are a small business, and we can't afford to pay the protection fee, don't smash it, don't smash it." ”

"If you can't afford to pay the protection fee, you dare to set up a stall here? You don't inquire about whose territory it is, but the brethren call me. "A leading puppet army is really arrogant.

"The leader is Yan Xuechang's brother-in-law, no, I have to go down and take a look, or someone will die." The proprietress glanced up from the window and said.

The proprietress squeezed through the lively crowd: "Yo Yo Yo, this is not Master Zhou, what happened to make you so angry?" ”

When several puppet soldiers saw someone coming over to say hello, they stopped punching and kicking the owner of the small vendor. The leading puppet army: "Isn't this the boss lady, some people are disobedient, just teach me a lesson." ”

"Master Zhou, look at you, this cold day is still like these untouchables, it's not good to be angry, today I am doing Dong, come to my teahouse, drink a cup of tea, and warm up." The proprietress said.

"That's not funny, lady." The puppet soldier surnamed Zhou hugged the slender waist of the boss lady.

"Master Zhou, look at what you said," the proprietress broke free of the arm of the puppet army surnamed Zhou, "It's an honor for you Master Zhou to come to the shop, who around here doesn't know your name Master Zhou." ”

"Go, brethren, and today I invite you to tea."

Liao Fan saw that the proprietress could recognize her identity, and she was so exquisite, this proprietress was definitely not an ordinary person, and this teahouse was definitely not an ordinary place.

Liao Fan said to a soldier beside him: "Xiao He, you go out of the city, let Platoon Commander Zhang take a platoon of soldiers, sneak into Liuye Town in the southeast of the county tonight, tell Platoon Commander Zhang, find the largest yard, and when you see someone coming out at night, let them go, and then take down the yard and bring back all the valuable things in it for me, remember to let Platoon Commander Zhang not make too much movement." ”

The warrior named Xiao He nodded and left the teahouse.

"Xiao Zhang, when we leave the teahouse later, you are keeping an eye on this puppet army around here, and if there is any emergency, let the proprietress tell us. Xiao Liu, you go to investigate the situation of the little devil's arsenal, and in a while, we will meet in this teahouse. ”

As soon as Liao Fan finished instructing, the proprietress took this team of puppet soldiers into the teahouse, and the guests in the teahouse got up and left when they saw them coming in, and Liao Fan also took this opportunity to leave the teahouse. Then they split up.
