Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Serendipity
Yao Baolin did not answer Liu Shanyang's words at that time, but only replied that he would discuss it with his brothers, and Liu Shanyang was not angry, but only left the address of the militia camp to Yao Baolin, he believed that this person who was valued by him would definitely go to him. "You are really generous, you don't even know their details, so you dare to tell them about our preparation to go south to Sichuan?" It has been a long time since he came up with Liu Goat, and Tang Cheng has long been exempted from the honorific title when he talks to Liu Goat.
"You know what? That Yao Baolin looked like a jumping man, daring to escort these refugees all the way from Shanghai to here, such a person will never be a treacherous person, you, no one believes it. Liu Goat rewarded Tang Cheng with a chestnut. Tang Cheng has always been very familiar with Lu Yong and them, which is all in the eyes of Liu Goat, if it weren't for the fact that he has been guarding against Li Linge these days, Liu Goat would have wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Tang Cheng in private.
"It's not a matter of trust, but they obviously don't believe in us very much, Jiujin has seen them have held small meetings in private more than once, and they deliberately avoided Jiujin to prevent Zhilu Dao." Tang Cheng's voice was much quieter, and he pouted Zhang Yun, who was standing in front of the carriage, to express his dissatisfaction. Tang Cheng had wanted to say these words for a long time, but at that time, Liu Goat's entire mind was focused on defending Li Linge, and Tang Cheng never found a suitable opportunity. Now that Liu Goat suddenly mentioned this matter, Tang Cheng simply said it, as for how Liu Goat would react, Tang Cheng didn't think about it at all.
Tang Cheng's whisper made Liu Goat stunned, every time he met and talked with Lu Yong, he always felt that Lu Yong was not the kind of person Tang Cheng said, but if he was to choose between Tang Cheng and Lu Yong, Liu Goat would not hesitate to choose to trust Tang Cheng. "If you find something like this in the future, remember to tell me as soon as possible, and I can still tell the difference." The Sichuan army under Lu Yong was not a great character, if it weren't for the fact that he wouldn't get lost when he went to Sichuan, Liu Goat wouldn't have bothered to go with them at all.
Liu Goat and Tang Cheng on the carriage spoke very quietly, not to mention Zhang Yun, who was ordered by Liu Goat to fiddle with the wooden horse rejection, they couldn't hear the conversation between the two, even if they heard something, Liu Goat had a way to prevaricate. "If there is no Li Linge, even if we go on the road by ourselves, but this Li Linge is very famous in the Mengcheng area, and it is said that it has something to do with the upper echelons of the national government, so we can't help but guard against it, only if we have more people, Li Linge will not dare to do anything to us."
Liu Goat tried his best to inform Tang Cheng of the things he was considering, but the latter seemed to be a little uninterested, in his opinion, all things should be left to Liu Goat to consider, and he only needed to do what Liu Goat said. Three hours after lunch, Liu Goat took Tang Cheng and they have been walking around the city, except for Yao Baolin and their people, Liu Goat's expectation of a large number of routs has not been traced, and Liu Goat, who has no mind, has to take Tang Cheng to prepare to return to the city.
"Wait, it's like gunshots." Zhang Yun was about to whip the horse, but was stopped by Liu Goat. Regardless of whether Liu Goat, who was listening attentively, had a follow-up reaction, what he said just now made Zhang Yun and the others jump off the carriage. Tang Cheng, who sat up, also listened attentively like Liu Goat, but unfortunately he didn't hear anything in his ears, and Tang Cheng, who was a little unrelenting, turned his head to look at Liu Goat, but Liu Goat waved his hand to signal him not to make a sound at this time.
Although there was only one gunshot that Liu Goat heard just now, Liu Goat could tell that it was not a short gun, it should be a Mauser rifle, because the kind of gunfire made with a Mauser rifle was too familiar to him. "Let's go, come two people and follow me to the front to have a look, and the rest of us stay where we are and be on guard." Liu Goat returned some of the weapons of the militia to Li Linge, but those horses were forcibly left by him, and Liu Goat would be riding a horse to the front.
"Let's not be idle, let's go ahead and see." Tang Cheng greeted a few people who were left behind by Liu Goat, but he had already pulled out the shell gun, as long as he got up, Tang Cheng would carry the two shell guns with him, which had become a habit for him. Although the carriage could not match the speed of a single horse, Tang Cheng and the others still followed behind as fast as they could. Liu Goat heard it well just now, there was indeed a firefight in front of him, but the place where the firefight was exchanged was not close to them, and he had to go around a turn and a high ground to see it.
"Bang" There was another gunshot, and Liu Goat, who was about to leap his horse and rush to the high ground, jumped off the horse's back, "You two are optimistic about our horses, I'll go up and take a look." Liu Goat asked the two Sichuan soldiers who came with him to look at the horses, but he himself carried a rifle and a telescope to the high ground. In the place where Liu Goat could see with a telescope, a young man who looked only in his 20s was running towards this side, and not far from him were three men in black in hot pursuit.
"This kid's marksmanship is okay" Liu Goat watched the young man turn around and raise his hand to fight, and another gunshot rang out, and one of the three black-clothed men who were chasing after him immediately fell. Liu Goat did not calculate the distance between the young man and the pursuer, what he valued was that the young man raised his hand and hit calmly, and almost did not need to aim at the target dozens of meters away, this kind of marksmanship may not be able to do it by Liu Goat himself.
Since he has such marksmanship, why will he be chased all the way and squatting on the high ground Liu Goat is full of questions. Both sides were just dressed in civilian attire, so Liu Goat didn't plan to show up, just quietly squatted on the high ground and observed the young man with binoculars. "Bang" After another gunshot, Liu Goat found the answer to the question from the binoculars, and another man in black was shot and fell, and the young man who was chasing and running threw away the rifle in his hand, and the cat's waist ran desperately to the high ground.
"I said why should I be chased all the time, and I didn't have any bullets in the gun for a long time." Liu Goat picked up the rifle in his hand and aimed at the man in black not far behind the young man. At a distance of more than 100 meters, the man in black who was being targeted by Liu Goat with a rifle was not very obvious, so Liu Goat did not fire immediately, he waited for the target to continue to approach before firing, because that would be more certain. There was movement behind him, but Liu Goat didn't look back, he knew that it would definitely be Tang Cheng who came up from the road, because only Tang Cheng would insist on ascending the high ground regardless of his orders.
Liu Goat is good, it was really Tang Cheng who appeared behind him, but it was not Tang Cheng alone, there was also Zhang Yun who supported him and another person from the Sichuan army. The injury on his leg had been diagnosed by Tian Kui as not being able to do too strenuous exercise, but Tang Cheng was not only hindering Liu Goat, who was worried about the highlands, but Zhang Yun, who had no choice, had to send Tang Cheng directly to the high ground with another brother. "What's going on? Who's hitting whom? As soon as Tang Cheng came up, he grabbed the telescope that Liu Goat put at his feet in his hand, and while looking forward with the telescope, he tilted his head and asked Liu Goat, but the latter didn't pay attention to him.
The two people under the high ground chased and ran, and the young man who was chased rushed straight towards the high ground, and the man in black who was chasing him behind did not notice the muzzle of the gun on the high ground, and still tried his best to follow the young man and chase after him. Seeing that the two of them had already run under the high ground, Liu Goat suddenly lowered his gun and pulled Tang Cheng and them backwards for a distance, "Let them come up and capture them alive." Liu Goat not only lowered the muzzle of his gun, but also pressed down the muzzle of Zhang Yun's gun.
"Boy, don't run away anymore, our eldest brother just cherishes your good marksmanship, and wants to pull you into the gang, but he doesn't want your life, why do you run away like this?" The man in black who fell behind the young man was already out of breath, and if it weren't for his eldest brother's order to bring the kid in front of him back, he might not have been able to chase after him. "Stop, if you still run, I'll shoot." The man in black with his hands on his knees couldn't run anymore, so he simply pulled out the end of his waist.
The kid in front of him was so good at marksmanship that he even injured his three brothers, if it weren't for the fact that the three brothers who were shot didn't hurt the vital point, maybe he would have shot down the kid in front of him. Niu Fei, who was chased all the way, was not lightly tired, he had outstanding marksmanship, he was like a toothless tiger without guns and bullets, if he hadn't dropped his bullet bag in a panic, these black-clothed people who chased him all the way would have been given in vain.
"Zhao Chuang, Lao Tzu and you Black Tiger Mountain are not all the way, you are your own bandits, Lao Tzu is your own bandits, our well water does not interfere with river water, why do you have to work so hard." When he ran halfway to the high ground, Niu Fei really couldn't run, and Zhao Chuang, who was chasing him, couldn't chase either, so the two of them played a confrontation with one halfway up the high ground and the other under the high ground. The two of them had a lively fight, and they also enjoyed listening to Liu Goat, who was lying on the high ground, Liu Goat just didn't expect that this boy with outstanding marksmanship was actually a bandit, and he was also a descendant of a bandit family that had been passed down from generation to generation.
From the conversation between the two people below, Tang Cheng heard that the bandit named Niu Fei was actually a sharpshooter, and Tang Cheng had already guessed that Liu Goat was fighting the bandit's idea after listening to it. In the eyes of any commander of the national army, a sharpshooter is not very useful for a battle, but Tang Cheng, who has experienced the street battle in Nanjing, does not think so, if they have a sharpshooter present when they are fighting hard with the Japanese army in Nanjing, maybe the second company brothers who withdrew from Guanghua Gate can survive a few more.
"Hey, I said, is it useless for you two to talk about it? If you're tired, keep your mouth shut and obediently climb up. The wind was blowing on the high ground, and Liu Goat was a little worried about Tang Cheng's injury, so he simply showed himself. Niu Fei and Zhao Chuang, who were scolding each other, were startled by Liu Goat, who suddenly appeared, but in the face of the shell gun in Liu Goat's hand and his national army uniform, Niu Fei and Zhao Chuang wisely chose to keep their mouths shut.
