In the twilight, Zhang Liechen and his party arrived at Xiaowangzhuang in the countryside, and they finally found a place to stay.

Xiaowangzhuang is located in a hilly area, with fields on three sides, and a stretch of swamp land to the west on the other side, with dozens of households.

More than 200 guerrilla officers and soldiers who had lost the battle lived in the Zhuangzi, which suddenly made the already small Zhuangzi crowded and became noisy.

The wounded acting detachment leader was disheartened at the moment, and he didn't have the heart to take care of the soldiers under him, so he took a few officers to live in the compound of the rich man Liu in the village.

"Yo, isn't this Chief Zhang? If you miss the distance, you will lose the welcome, and please atone for your sins. ”

Zhang Liechen and the others just entered the courtyard, and the owner of the courtyard, Liu Liang, greeted him with a smile on his face, and they were also stunned when they saw the scarred Zhang Liechen, could it be that they lost the battle?

Liu Liang knew Zhang Liechen and them, after all, their small Wangzhuang was under the jurisdiction of Qinghe Town, and he had also gone to the town to meet this Chief Zhang.

"I'm going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Qinghe Town was taken away by devils, let's borrow it from you for a few days, there are a lot of disturbances, please forgive me......"

Although Zhang Liechen was injured and looked weak, he was an orthodox officer after all, and he spoke with his own majesty.

In the past, Zhang Liechen would have looked down on a rich man in the countryside like Liu Liang, but now the situation is stronger than others, so he can only temporarily settle here and find a way out.

"Chief Zhang, what are you talking about, it's too late for me to welcome, Chief Zhang, please come in quickly-" Liu Liang was stunned for a moment, and then warmly greeted Zhang Liechen and them into the house.

"By the way, my brothers haven't eaten yet, you can watch and arrange it."

Zhang Liechen thought of the brothers who had broken out with him outside, and turned his head to the rich man Liu Liang to order.

"Don't worry, Chief Zhang, I'll arrange it." The rich man Liu Liang hurriedly agreed.

Seeing Liu Liang's enthusiasm, Zhang Liechen was also relieved, and with the support of others, he went to the house to rest.

"Go and pull out the fat pigs in the pigsty and slaughter them, and make a feast for the bosses......"

This Liu Liang is also an enthusiastic person, and when he saw the troops coming, he hurriedly shouted, so that Zhang Liechen and the others also relaxed their vigilance.

After everyone was busy, Liu Liang, the rich man, secretly beckoned his son over and ordered.

"Son, you hurry out of Zhuangzi through the back door and go to Qinghe Town to find the Japanese, just say that Zhang Liechen and they have fled to our Zhuangzi, let them quickly bring troops over......"

"Dad, they are a force that fights devils, and it is too immoral for us to do this-" After hearing Liu Liang's order, Liu Liang's son felt that it was inappropriate.

"You are confused, Zhang Liechen and they are finished, Qinghe Town will be the world of the Japanese sooner or later, if our Liu family wants to stay in Xiaowangzhuang, we have to make a decision now! Otherwise, when the Japanese come over and know that we have taken in Zhang Liechen and them, the foundation of our Liu family for decades will be ruined, and how can we be worthy of our ancestors and ancestors. Liu Liang said earnestly.

"We can not offend both sides, send them a sum of money, and let them leave our Zhuangzi now, even if the Japanese come over, it doesn't matter to us."

Hearing his son's words, Liu Liang was also so anxious that he stomped his feet: "I said that you are so elm pimple, this is not a matter of money or not, do you think the people in Zhuangzi are blind?" Zhang Liechen entered our house, we can't get along, and now if we want to protect our Liu family, we can only take the initiative to report to the Japanese. ”

Seeing that his son was still hesitating, Liu Liang glanced at him with some hatred.

"What do you think, although our Liu family has accumulated some property over the years, but it is not as good as the big families in the town, you see that Zhang Leper, who was originally a ruffian, and now he has taken refuge in the Japanese, not only as a battalion commander, you look at the current family that is a chicken and dog ascending to heaven, this is an opportunity for our Liu family to rise, do you understand?"

"Dad, don't worry, I'll go to the Japanese." After Liu Liang's words, his son finally came to his senses.

Although it is a bit immoral to go to the Japanese to report now, this is also an opportunity for their Liu family to protect themselves and rise.

"But, Dad, if the guerrillas come back in the future, what will we do if they settle accounts with us?" Liu Liang's son showed concern again.

"Do you think the guerrillas will be able to fight back? Nanjing was occupied by the Japanese, and I didn't see them fight back, let's go, whether our Liu family can develop in the future depends on this time. "Liu Liang is now determined to be a traitor.

"Dad, then I'll go." Liu Liang's son walked to the back door as he spoke.

Liu Liang watched his son leave, and then he regained his smile on his face, and beckoned the housekeeper at home to instruct: "Don't be stunned, go and boil some boiling water for the bosses and send it over."

"Yes, sir." After receiving the order, the official hurriedly went straight to the kitchen.

After Liu Liang saw that everything was in order, he returned to the living room

Seeing Zhang Liechen's blood-stained pants, he also hurriedly asked with concern: "Sir Zhang, are your injuries okay?" Do you want me to invite a man to come over and have a look? ”

"It's hard work......" Zhang Liechen was a little pale and looked weak because of excessive blood loss.

When Liu Liang saw Zhang Liechen like this, he was even more firm in his thoughts, that is, the guerrillas were no longer good, and he was secretly proud that he had chosen to defect to the Japanese.

The officers and men of the 3rd Guerrilla Detachment had just lost a battle, their morale was low, and their morale was depressed.

And Liu Liang wanted to stabilize Zhang Liechen and them, so he warmly entertained them, so that these officers and soldiers also relaxed their vigilance.

After Liu Liang's son slipped out the back door, he copied the trail out of Zhuangzi, and then went straight to the direction of Qinghe Town, ready to go to the little devil to report the news.

Xiaowangzhuang is some distance from Qinghe Town, so Liu Liang is not in a hurry, he ordered to kill pigs, slaughter chickens and ducks for cooking, and humbly and enthusiastically entertain the officers and soldiers of the guerrillas, just trying to paralyze and drag them down.

Seeing Liu Liang's enthusiastic busyness, this made Zhang Liechen, who had always looked down on the rich landlords in the countryside, also look down on him, thinking that he would find an opportunity to repay this kindness in the future.

But what Zhang Liechen didn't know was that although Liu Liang looked hospitable on the surface, he was a bad stomach, and he had already sold them for the sake of their Liu family's prosperity.

When Zhang Liechen and the others settled down in Xiaowangzhuang, Yang Ling and his party also rushed to Qinghe Town, but they were a step late, and this place had already been occupied by the little devils.

Yang Ling was originally here to take office, who knew that before he took office, such a situation happened, the troops he took office were wiped out, and he could only send people to inquire about the situation, while letting the brothers hide in the dark and wait for news.
