Chapter Ninety-Nine: Asking for Help

To tell the truth, Lu Yuan's return pistol was too vicious, and it happened to hit the waist and eye of the Japanese army, and when Koji Uda, who heard the gunshot, returned with his soldiers, he only saw corpses all over the ground and Koichi Kawashima, who had been beaten into a blood gourd. Koji Uda's return was not slow, but Koichi Kawashima had already swallowed his last breath, and Koji Uda, who was furious in his heart, had nowhere to vent his anger, so he took his soldiers back to chase after him, but Lu Yuan had already disappeared without a trace.

A well-planned ambush turned into a farce with heavy casualties, not only did Koichi Kawashima, the maker of the plan, lose his life, but even Koji Uda was implicated afterwards and was directly relegated to his homeland as a recruit training instructor. Lu Yuan, who had already returned to his residence, naturally didn't know this, Lu Yuan was already very surprised that he could successfully rescue the assassination team of the underground party and the military commander this time, and as for other things, Lu Yuan didn't care at all.

Because of Lu Yuan's timely help, there were no major casualties, so they were naturally overjoyed, but when Xu Huanshan called Lu Yuan's residence again, he was told by Fu Bo that Lu Yuan had left Shanghai. Did Lu Yuan leave Shanghai? Naturally, no, when Xu Huanshan hung up the phone, Lu Yuan was hiding alone in the basement of the studio, using the materials and equipment he had prepared earlier, and was improving an assault rifle.

"Young master, that Mr. Xu called just now, and I said that you have left Shanghai according to what you explained." Fu Bo carried a plate of cut fruit into the basement, and by the way, he told Lu Yuan about Xu Huanshan's phone call just now. Xu Huanshan called to his home more than once, and he also visited him in person, Fu Bo naturally knew about him, but he didn't know why Lu Yuan suddenly deliberately ignored the surname Xu.

Lu Yuan put down the tools and materials in his hand, took the towel that Fu Bo denied and wiped his hands, then grabbed a piece of fruit and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he smiled vaguely at Fubo, "There is nothing important between me and him, but that person's background is very complicated, and Shanghai is a little too chaotic for a while, I am afraid that when the time comes, someone will connect our family with the surname Xu, and our family can't stand on that kind of trouble." Lu Yuan didn't say this very clearly, but Fu Bo had already heard something from it, and then nodded at Lu Yuan, indicating that he knew what to do.

Lu Yuan's interruption of contact with the Shanghai underground party at this time is not really to break off the relationship with the underground party, Shanghai, which has already had two street fights, is now a big bag. If you are not careful, there will be a big change like a landslide, and Lu Yuan doesn't want to have anything to do with the underground party at this time, after all, the special high school classes are not all for rice. Lu Yuan stayed in the residence honestly for several days, and before he could come up with any new things in the basement, Hans took the initiative to come to the door.

"Lu, you must help me this time, I think I can't find a more suitable candidate than you for the time being." The two had just met, and Hans's brainless words confused Lu Yuan. After a glass of whiskey, Hans remembered to explain the matter clearly, "Lu, two of my old friends have had an accident in the river, and the interpreter with them came back and said that they had encountered a war between the Chinese and Japanese armies in a place called Tang County. In the chaos, two of my friends, who took the initiative to treat the injured people in the area, were first captured by the Japanese soldiers, and then heard that they were robbed by the Eighth Route Army. ”

"Lu, my friends, these two are my old friends, they are not soldiers, and they are not intelligence agents like me. I hope you can bring them back alive, and I'm willing to pay to hire you. At this time, Hans completely lost the shrewdness when he bargained with Lu Yuan in the office of the bar, especially the last sentence of his words just now, this was the first time Lu Yuan had heard Hans say such things.

After listening to Hans's story, Lu Yuan first frowned and muttered to himself for a while, and then asked Hans, "Hans, tell me clearly, did you already take any measures before you came to me?" From what I know about the Eighth Route Army, it seems that they don't do anything to hurt foreigners. Lu Yuan's inquiry made Hans speechless, seeing this situation, Lu Yuan couldn't help but scratch his head secretly, it seems that Hans has already done something.

Sure enough, after scratching his head for a while, Hans had to confide to Lu Yuanhe, "I found some people in Baoding to ask for people from the Eighth Route Army, but I don't know what happened in between, the Eighth Route Army is now asking me for weapons, ammunition and medicine, otherwise they won't let them go." Lu, this time I don't need you to do more, just escort the things I prepared to Tang County to change people, after all, you are the only German-speaking Chinese I know. ”

Hans's last compliment made Lu Yuan smile, there are many foreigners in Shanghai, and there are also many Chinese who can speak foreign languages, Lu Yuan is not the only German-speaking Chinese Hans knows. "Lu, I really need your help this time, it's better to do this, as long as you help me this time, I promise to get you the Browning large-caliber heavy machine gun you want, and it includes bullets." Hans was bleeding this time, and even took out the Browning large-caliber heavy machine gun.

Lu Yuan, who was secretly happy in his heart, pretended to be embarrassed and lowered his head and thought for a while, and then nodded and agreed in Hans's anticipation. "I don't have anything to do you with this, but everything must go according to what I said, first of all, I want to know what are the things sent to Tang County, and how many are there." Lu Yuan's question can be described as cautious, but Hans didn't say anything, just took out a list and showed it to Lu Yuan himself.

After carefully reading the list given by Hans, Lu Yuan casually spent part of the list, "I only carry medicine with me, as for these weapons and ammunition you prepared, I look at it that it can equip a platoon." With these things, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass through the blockade of the Japanese puppet army, so I won't take them with me. However, I assure you that I will have enough weapons and ammunition to equip a company before I arrive at Tang County, and I don't think the Eighth Route Army will refuse to use Japanese-style weapons. ”

"Okay, I can cash out this part and count it as your employment money, and if there is anything else, you can withdraw it all at once." Hans was also rare and generous, not only agreeing to all of Lu Yuan's requests, but also giving Lu Yuan an employment price that he had no way to refuse. Sending Hans away, Lu Yuan, who was sitting alone in the study, was secretly thinking about some things, and until dinner time, Lu Yuan did not come out of the study, and Fauber had to send the food to Lu Yuan into the study.

Lu Yuan did not inform Faber of Hans's intention, and early the next morning, Lu Yuan was taken to a large warehouse at the Sixteen Shops Pier by the driver sent by Hans. "Lu, these are the medicines I promised the Eighth Route Army, as long as you want, these medicines can set off with you at any time." In the corner of the warehouse, there were a bunch of wooden boxes neatly stacked, Lu Yuan secretly calculated the volume of these medicines, and when he found that his storage space was enough to store them, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

Put these medicines that were going to be handed over to the Eighth Route Army into the storage space and take them away, as for the weapons and ammunition that Hans promised the Eighth Route Army, after he went to Tang County, he could get them from a random place with Japanese troops, Lu Yuan did not feel very troublesome and dangerous about this matter. According to his own ideas and plans, Lu Yuan directly rejected Hans's subordinates, and made it clear to Hans that he was going to go to Tang County alone to replace people this time.

"Lu, I really don't believe in your skills, it's just that Tang County is very chaotic, you bring a few more people, and you will have a helper when the time comes." Hans persuaded him and tried to persuade Lu Yuan to change his decision. It's just that he didn't expect Lu Yuan to not enter, and once threatened to say that he wanted to go home and shut up, Hans couldn't resist Lu Yuan, and after thinking about it again, he could only agree to Lu Yuan's request.

In Hans's puzzled gaze, Lu Yuan told Hans's men to give him a ticket to Tianjin, and according to Hans's planned route, he should take the land route. "Are you stupid, by land? How many Japanese puppet army troops are there along the way? Do you know that medicines belong to war materials, and once these medicines are intercepted by the Japanese army, not only will they not be able to get them back, but my little life will probably be lost. Lu Yuan's words made Hans a little ashamed, what Lu Yuan said just now, he had only seen it in the intelligence, but the actual situation, Hans didn't know at all.

Under Hans's half-push and half-push, Lu Yuan asked someone to load these medicines into a truck and send them to his residence first, but as for the prepared weapons and ammunition, Lu Yuan didn't even mean to take a look. Hans, who personally escorted the medicines, did not know that after he left Lu Yuan's residence, these boxes containing the medicines were immediately collected by Lu Yuan into the storage space. There are more boxes of medicines in the storage space, and Lu Yuan must readjust the use of the storage space, otherwise his weapons and equipment will not be easy to take away.

"Don't worry, Fauber, I'm just doing Hans a small favor this time. According to my estimates, this trip may just take a little more time to come back, and as for the danger or something, there is no need to worry. casually made up a few words to comfort Fu Bo, Lu Yuan did not continue to dwell on this matter, in fact, he was ready to go. A day later, under the personal escort of Hans, Lu Yuan went to the dock to leave Tianjin by boat, and in the face of Hans's suspicions, Lu Yuan only gave a vague explanation.

"Don't think about it, I've already arranged for someone to send the things you prepared out of Shanghai. Don't worry, when I come back, I'll bring your two old friends back alive. Before getting on the boat, Lu Yuan finally gave Hans a clear answer, which made Hans's mood calm down inexplicably.
