Five big yellow croaker gold bars were placed on the table, Xue Laosan and his brothers stared down at the gold bars without blinking, as for Lu Yuan, who was sitting across the table, they had already forgotten about it. After about a cup of tea, Xue Laosan, who came back to his senses a little, coughed lightly, and then looked up at Lu Yuan, who was silent. "This is a deposit, I will borrow your sampan and waterway tonight, cross the Suzhou River, and the remaining five big yellow croakers will be given to you immediately." Lu Yuan's fingers lightly tapped the tabletop, and his tone of voice was very relaxed, but Xue Laosan and the others couldn't guess the details.

Lu Yuan's left hand has been hanging under the table, and the corner of Xue Laosan's eyes has been staring at Lu Yuan's left shoulder, daring to come to his own territory alone, Xue Laosan believes that this young man in front of him is definitely not a powerless little white face. Xue Laosan, who has been rolling in the rivers and lakes for many years, has a good eye for seeing people, and after Lu Yuan sat down across the table, Xue Laosan became inexplicably nervous.

Noticing that Xue Laosan was staring at his left shoulder nervously, Lu Yuan immediately smiled slightly and slowly raised his left hand hanging under the table. Xue Laosan and the others immediately changed their faces, especially one of Xue Laosan's brothers, who had already jumped up from the chair. "You, what are you going to do? I warn you, the knife in Lao Tzu's hand is not vegetarian. The short gun in Lu Yuan's left hand made Xue Laosan and his gang very nervous, and several of them had already pulled out the short knife pinned to their waists with their backhands.

Lu Yuan shook the short gun in his hand at Xue Laosan, then clicked, closed the safety of the pistol, and then put the pistol on the table with a smile. "Shopkeeper Xue, no matter how good your skills are, a single bullet can completely solve it, so the gun is a murderous thing. But what I want to say is that as scary as guns are, it's the people who hold them that are really scary. Giving a gun to someone like you may not be as effective as a knife in your hand, but in someone's hands, it becomes very terrifying. ”

Xue Laosan couldn't understand all the deep meanings in Lu Yuan's words, but he could also hear the warning in the other party's words. Xue Laosan immediately waved his hand and motioned to his subordinates to put away the knives, "Boss, we are all coolie people, and we get together just to eat." Since you can find us, it means that someone pointed out that gold bars are a good thing, but I'm afraid that we people don't have the good life to spend these gold bars. ”

There was an obvious taste of rejection in Xue Laosan's words, but Xue Laosan's move was just to test Lu Yuan, after all, this was five big yellow croaker gold bars, and with their sneaky smuggling business, they might not be able to earn five big yellow croaker in three or four months. Xu was already aware of Xue Laosan's thoughts, and Lu Yuan continued to tap his fingers on the table, "Boss Xue, the reason why I came to your platoon gang is because your platoon gang has a good reputation, and so far you have never done anything to harm the people." ”

"Although your platoon gang occupies this section of the river and secretly smuggles tobacco and materials into Hongkou, I know that you have also helped the military commanders and underground party members to infiltrate Hongkou." As soon as Lu Yuan's words came out, Xue Laosan immediately jumped up from the chair, and his eyes, which were originally squinted, were also wide open. The platoon gang actually helped the smugglers of the military commanders and the underground party to enter and exit Hongkou more than once, but that was a matter of losing their heads, even in the platoon gang, those who knew about it were all Xue Laosan's henchmen.

"Boss Xue, don't care how I know these things, but you can rest assured, I dare to come to your gang's territory alone, which means that I will not use these things to blackmail you." Lu Yuan said it honestly, but Xue Laosan would not easily believe Lu Yuan, after all, he and Lu Yuan were only dealing with it for the first time, and Lu Yuan looked at a little white face, which was different from the military commanders and underground party members that Xue Laosan had come into contact with.

Lu Yuan got up and walked to the window, pushed open the window with both hands, looked at the drizzle outside the window, and said in his mouth. "I've been waiting for this rain for four days, no matter whether your platoon gang is willing to take over this business or not, I'm going to cross the river to Hongkou tonight." When Lu Yuan spoke, he turned his back to Xue Laosan and the others, and when Lu Yuan turned around again, the placket of the suit had been lifted open by Lu Yuan, and Xue Laosan and the others could clearly see the two * pinned to Lu Yuan's belt.

"This is American*, as long as you pull off the safety bolt and release this grip, it will explode, and you don't have to explode after the impact of a hard object like the Japanese army*." Lu Yuan held the two * in his left and right hands, and between the staggered hands, the pull rings of the * were staggered on the thumbs of both hands. "American* is more powerful than *, and these two* explodes, enough to send everyone in this room to hell."

As he spoke, Lu Yuan made a gesture to pull the ring, and the horrified Xue Laosan and the others shrank into a pile in the corner of the wall. "If you have something to say, don't mess around, that * blew up, and you won't be able to live yourself." One of Xue Laosan's brothers was quite eye-catching, and when others were speechless because of fear, he also knew how to remind Lu Yuan with words, reminding Lu Yuan that he was also in danger. Faced with the two * in Lu Yuan's hand, Xue Laosan was forced to agree to Lu Yuan's request, and after agreeing on the time and place with Xue Laosan, Lu Yuan, who had achieved his goal, finally left slowly with * and a short gun.

Seeing Lu Yuan leave, looking at the back that had disappeared in the rain curtain from afar, Xue Laosan and the others were finally able to raise their hands to wipe the cold sweat off their foreheads. It's too scary, the same thought appeared in the hearts of Xue Laosan and the others almost at the same time, when Lu Yuan held * in his hand just now, Xue Laosan only felt that his legs were so weak that he could barely take a step, until this time, Xue Laosan still felt that his two legs were trembling uncontrollably.

Lu Yuan had already deliberately mentioned that the platoon gang secretly helped the military commander and the underground party, and Xue Laosan naturally didn't dare to ask Lu Yuan for credit and reward from the concession patrol room, but he still told his brothers not to tell what happened just now. Contacting the Pai Gang is a decision that Lu Yuan has to make, if only two or three people enter Hongkou District with him this time, those fake documents can do it, but Wang San and they have 12 people, and Lu Yuan can only smuggle into Hongkou District from Suzhou Creek.

Back in the warehouse, Wang San and the others were maintaining their respective weapons, and in the past four days, others had only learned a little bit, but the level of maintenance of weapons had improved significantly. "After eating, let's rest for a while, let's leave tonight, I have contacted the Pai Gang, and they will help us enter Hongkou District." Lu Yuan gave the food and water he brought back to everyone, and Wang San and the others learned that they would enter Hongkou District tonight, and they were already fidgeting excitedly.

It was just a very ordinary on-the-spot reaction, which had already made Lu Yuan clearly see the gap between Wang San and the others, Wang San and a person named Cai Ade, although they were already trying their best to restrain their emotions, but they still couldn't restrain their hands and feet, revealing a restless look, while Dong Peng seemed much calmer, when the others were swallowing food, Dong Peng, who was sitting in the corner, was still in the mood to write and draw on a piece of paper.

When night fell, Lu Yuan and the others in raincoats hurried to the agreed place with the platoon gang, and when the connector saw the big bag that Lu Yuan and the others were carrying, Lu Yuan, who looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, just wanted to laugh. "There are 13 people in total, and three sampans cross the river at once, and after crossing the river, you can go back the way you came." Lu Yuan took out the five large yellow croaker gold bars that had been prepared a long time ago and handed them to the connector, but there was no mention in his words that he wanted to wait in line.

This waterway is the smuggling route that the platoon gang relies on to make a living, and even if the platoon gang closes their eyes, they can secretly prop up the sampan to the opposite bank. All ten big yellow croaker gold bars have all been obtained, Lu Yuan intentionally or unintentionally let the connector see the pistol, but also put great pressure on the platoon gang, half an hour later, Lu Yuan and his party quietly boarded the sampan, in the continuous drizzle, slowly and steadily moved towards the opposite bank.

At night, a layer of mist rose on the Suzhou Creek, and the three small sampans of the platoon gang quietly appeared on the other side of the Suzhou Creek after midnight under the cover of the mist. Lu Yuan was the first to go ashore and moved up along the river bank, and Lu Yuan, who was kneeling on one knee, first looked left and right a few times, and then turned around and gestured at Wang San and the others on the bank. Seeing Wang San and the others disappear on the river bank with a big bag on their backs, the people of the platoon gang were all dumbfounded, Lu Yuan and their mobile formation, how could they have ever seen it.

Crossing the Suzhou Creek, it is Hongkou District, Lu Yuan opened the full-view map early, took Wang San and them all the way, and after avoiding two Japanese patrols in a row, Lu Yuan and his party finally entered the safe house prepared by Lu Yuan safely. Pulling out two boxes from under the bed in the main house, Lu Yuan took the lead in changing the Japanese military uniform, and a quarter of an hour later, a 12-member patrol led by a Japanese second lieutenant appeared in the street.

"When you encounter a Japanese patrol, don't be afraid, don't panic, I'll deal with everything." As Lu Yuan walked, he whispered to Wang San and the others behind him, passing by two places where the arms were hidden, Lu Yuan made an excuse to leave alone for a while, and after putting the arms into the storage space, Lu Yuan and Wang San were together again. Lu Yuan's storage space was filled with water and munitions, which were enough for more than ten of them to consume for half a month, and Lu Yuan was confident that he would have a longer time with the Japanese army this time.

Moving all the way down the street, the two Japanese patrols encountered along the road did not suspect Lu Yuan's identity, which couldn't help but make Wang San and the others, who were extremely nervous in their hearts, relax a little. Following the previously selected route, after crossing several street intersections in a row, Lu Yuan arranged a homemade* in several sensitive areas, and then suddenly turned around and moved eastward, and finally hid in a yard full of weeds.
