Chapter XXIV

Xiao Zhenghua was very depressed, and he had been depressed since he got up in the morning, because Lu Yuan left the convoy alone early in the morning, leaving him alone and not knowing what to do. The people in the entire convoy knew that Xiao Zhenghua was the leader of the second wave of bandits blocking the way, and when Lu Yuan was there, everyone wouldn't say anything, but Lu Yuan was not here, and those students secretly talked about Xiao Zhenghua, and even the guards of the Sun family would be like this.

"Old Xiao, don't care what they say, they're just children, and they don't have any malicious intent." Xie Shen smiled and handed Xiao Zhenghua a cigarette, "When Captain Lu left, he didn't tell anyone, but he asked me to tell you that you must not have a conflict with the people of the Sun family, before dark, he will definitely come back to join us." In front of Xiao Zhenghua, Xie Shen used the machete in his hand to leave a mark on the big tree on the side of the road.

Seeing that Xiao Zhenghua was still sullen, Xie Shen immediately lowered his voice and explained, "Captain Lu has actually been hiding behind us, judging from what we have encountered in the past few days, Captain Lu judged that it should be the trouble caused by the people of the Sun family." So he plans to hide in the back first to see if there is any abnormal reaction on the Sun family's side, if there is something in the Sun family secretly, then we have to part ways with them and go our separate ways. ”

Xie Shen's words made Xiao Zhenghua unable to digest for a while, Lu Yuan's actions were too weird, he was just a bandit leader who had studied private school for two years, it was really difficult to understand what Lu Yuan's intentions were. Of course, Xiao Zhenghua couldn't guess what Lu Yuan's actual intentions were, because in the next town they were going to pass through, there was a squad of Japanese soldiers and a squadron of Imperial Cooperative Army. Lu Yuan hid in the back of the convoy, just to let the Sun family and those students see the danger with their own eyes, only by letting them face the danger in person, can they understand what Lu Yuan has paid along the way, and at the same time, Lu Yuan is also willing to let Sun Minghui retreat through this move.

was kidnapped and told that Lu Yuan had something to leave temporarily, and Sun Minghui, who was not angry, immediately ordered the convoy to continue to set off, and Xiao Zhenghua took Lu Yuan's place and acted as a scout. The convoy walked slowly along the official road, and when it was noon, the convoy rushed to a place called Wangjiazhai, according to Xiao Zhenghua's idea, the convoy had better stop in the field to eat and rest. But Sun Minghui's eldest lady was sick, and she had to ask her guards to go to Wangjiazhai to fight the front station, and she wanted to go to Wangjiazhai to rest.

"Captain Sun, please tell your eldest lady again, it's best not to go to this Wangjiazhai, we're out of the house, it's not a big mistake to be careful." If it weren't for Xie Shen's repeated glances at him, Xiao Zhenghua would not have taken the initiative to find Sun Debiao to make suggestions, and he didn't have a good impression of the people of the Sun family. Xiao Zhenghua is an old Jianghu, Sun Debiao is also not bad, the same words, Sun Debiao has already said it in front of Sun Minghui, but Sun Minghui didn't pay attention to it.

has already said it once, but it has not attracted Sun Minghui's attention, but Sun Debiao, the head of the guard, will not touch the moldy head again, Xiao Zhenghua also turned around and came back when he saw this, just told Xie Shen to be careful. Sure enough, almost an hour had passed, but none of the two guards sent by Sun Minghui to Wangjiazhai had returned. It's already like this, even if Sun Minghui can't understand it, an old man like Sun Debiao has already noticed that something is wrong.

"Let's go, pack our things, and get out of here right away." Sun Debiao didn't ask Sun Minghui for instructions this time, but just urged his guards and coachmen to pack up their things, but before those guards and coachmen could fully react, gunshots suddenly rang out in the direction of Wangjiazhai. Everyone reflexively turned their heads to look in the direction of Wangjiazhai, where the gunshots came, and saw a horse galloping towards this side in the distance, and behind the horse, there was also a group of people who shot from time to time.

As the horse got closer, the people of the Sun family immediately let out an exclamation, and the person who was already lying on the horse's back was one of the two guards that Sun Minghui had just sent to Wangjiazhai. "Let's go, let's go, there are Japanese soldiers in Wangjiazhai, and Lao Qi has been killed by them." The guard, who had been hit by two bullets in his back, was helped off his horse, and before he could say this, he vomited blood and saw that he could not live.

Japanese soldiers? Are there Japanese soldiers in Wangjiazhai? Sun Minghui was stunned by this news, and the Sun family's convoy also became panicked because of this news. "Mr. Xie, what should we do? Captain Lu, we're not here? The students came to Xie Shen's side one after another, and the Sun family's convoy obviously couldn't take care of them, and at this time, the gossiping students remembered that Lu Yuan was not by Xie Shen's side.

"Boom... Boom..."Before the Japanese soldiers who were chasing the escort just now approached, their grenadiers had already opened fire, and the Sun family's convoy was even more chaotic. "Let's go, get off the roadbed, and we'll go to the woods over there." Xie Shen was quite calm, and after setting his eyes on Xiao Zhenghua, Xie Shen saw a way out from Xiao Zhenghua's hints. Under Xie Shen's leadership and command, the students followed him and rushed down the roadbed towards the woods hundreds of meters away on the right.

There were gunshots and explosions behind him, but Sun Debiao, who had already raised his throat in his heart, was still urging Sun Minghui to run faster, and behind them, more than a dozen Sun family guards who were left behind by Sun Debiao were already dead and injured at this moment. The guards of the Sun family were originally only equipped with short guns, but they were still blessed by Lu Yuan, and these guards of the Sun family also used rifles, but their rifles were very bad, and their marksmanship was even worse.

There were only six or seven Japanese soldiers who fought against them, but after one face, four or five of the guards who were left behind by Sun Debiao fell, and after two explosions, Sun Debiao personally escorted Sun Minghui and rushed down the roadbed, chasing Xie Shen and them who had already run to the woods. "Miss, hold on for a while, we'll be there soon, and it'll be easy to do when we enter the woods." Sun Debiao gasped for breath and kept cheering for Sun Minghui, who was stumbling.

"Old Xiao, should we help them." Xie Shen, who had just rushed into the forest, turned around and looked at the people of the Sun family running in the field, turned his head and asked Xiao Zhenghua in a low voice. Xiao Zhenghua, who was like a miser, never gave up his horse, and when Xie Shen spoke to him, Xiao Zhenghua was wrapping the reins around a branch.

"Help them? How can it help? What will you do if I leave? Xiao Zhenghua pulled the rifle out of the pouch next to the saddle with a cold face, then pulled the bolt in front of Xie Shen and loaded a row of bullets into the magazine. We only have one rifle here, and the Japanese soldiers are not muddy, I don't know if I can stop you, the people of the Sun family, or look at their own creation. ”

When the two talked in a low voice, Sun Debiao and the others got closer to the woods, but at this moment, the Sun family guards who were left behind by Sun Debiao had already suffered casualties. After solving the broken Sun family guards left on the official road, the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the official road immediately rushed down the roadbed, especially a few Japanese soldiers who saw Sun Minghui shouted the word flower girl. Although there were only six or seven Japanese soldiers, in their opinion, there was no opponent for them in this Chinese convoy, and perhaps they could keep chasing like this, and they could kill all the men, and then capture the women and take them back to Wangjiazhai.

Sun Minghui, who had been dragged by Sun Debiao to run, kept panting, and her chest was even more uncomfortable as if it was about to explode, her face was full of fear at this moment, and she regretted Sun Debiao's advice that she shouldn't have been angry before. "Boom" There was an explosion behind Sun Minghui, only to feel that there was a huge force surging behind him, and Sun Debiao and Sun Minghui, who were caught off guard, had already been pushed and fell face down in the field, but the two Sun family coachmen fell in a pool of blood screaming.

Sun Debiao had a piece of shrapnel stuck in his back, gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, but no matter how hard Sun Debiao tried, Sun Minghui, who also fell to the ground, always had no way to stand up. Knowing that Sun Minghui would be frightened by the explosion just now, Sun Debiao endured the pain and leaned down, ready to carry Sun Minghui and throw him on his back. "Hurry up, it's hard for you to walk by yourself, and you still want to carry a big living person." Before Sun Debiao could exert his arms, he was pushed by a hand stretched out from behind him.

Sun Debiao, who was staggering, turned his head to look, just in time to see that Xiao Zhenghua had already carried Sun Minghui, who was full of tears, on his shoulder, "Let's go, you are fucking stupid, what are you staring at Lao Tzu." Xiao Zhenghua slapped Sun Debiao with his hand, and ran away with Sun Minghui on his shoulder. Sun Debiao, who came back to his senses, stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, urging the remaining guards and coachmen to speed up, but his eyes were staring at Xiao Zhenghua's back.

There were a few more casualties again, Sun Debiao and his party finally escaped safely into the woods, and Xiao Zhenghua, who returned to the woods, handed Sun Minghui over to Sun Debiao, and then guarded the edge of the woods with his rifle. Seeing that all the Chinese who had fled the road were thrown into the woods over there, the Japanese soldiers with sinister smiles in their mouths also chased after them, but their grenadiers had stopped firing grenades.

Xiao Zhenghua, who had already been loaded, gritted his teeth and slowly raised the rifle in his hand, no one knew what Xiao Zhenghua was thinking at the moment, Huang Dashan, who had been secretly monitoring him, had already lowered the short gun in his hand, at this moment, Huang Dashan would rather regard Xiao Zhenghua as his comrade-in-arms and companion. When the Japanese soldier outside the woods entered the 100-meter range, Xiao Zhenghua, who was leaning against a tree, pulled the trigger, and the Japanese soldier who was in the front immediately fell backwards.
