Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Capture of the Village
Sun Debiao, who came back from the depths of the woodland, seemed to be a little different from before, if it was usual, Sun Debiao would have sat beside Xie Shen and them, and maybe he would have made a few teases about Xiao Zhenghua. But now, the three of Sun Debiao, who came back from the depths of the woodland, sat honestly on the edge of the woodland, and Sun Debiao didn't want to say anything. Xie Shen was surprised by Sun Debiao's appearance at this moment, and was about to ask a question, but he happened to see Xiao Zhenghua's eyes, and then forcibly suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and he would just be silent and just care about loading a few rifles on his side.
Not long after Sun Debiao and the others came back, sporadic gunshots rang out in the depths of the woodland behind everyone, Xie Shen was shocked, so he had already stood up with a 38 rifle, but was stopped by Xiao Zhenghua, who had a calm face, reaching out his hand. "Don't worry, Captain Lu's rifle is also made with three or eight bullets, and the gunshots just now are obviously all gunshots made by Han Yang, Captain Lu should be fine." Xiao Zhenghua's words made Xie Shen stunned slightly, and then sat down on the spot.
The gunshots in the depths of the woodland were all over again, and soon, the gunshots stopped completely, and Xiao Zhenghua, who was sitting on the spot, did not move his position, but the rifle in his hand quietly changed direction, and the muzzle of the gun was faintly pointed at Sun Debiao and the others. "Don't shoot, it's your own people." Suddenly there was a movement of people moving in the depths of the woodland, Xie Shen and Sun Debiao got up and stood up almost at the same time, and the rifles in their hands were also leveled and pointed in the direction where the sound came from, but in the next moment, they heard Lu Yuan's voice.
Xie Shen and Sun Debiao glanced at each other, and invariably moved the finger on the trigger out of the trigger retainer, when Xie Shen was secretly relieved, the corner of Sun Debiao's eyes was staring at Xiao Zhenghua who was not moving, because he had realized that the rifle in Xiao Zhenghua's hand had been pointing at him. The sound in the depths of the woodland became louder and louder, and the first person who appeared in Xie Shen's sight was not Lu Yuan, but four Imperial Cooperative Army soldiers with their hands raised but rifles and bullet bags on their backs, and Lu Yuan, who was still fully armed, walked behind these four Imperial Association soldiers.
"The Imperial Association army over there has been killed by me, and these four are the ones I left behind, otherwise there is no way to carry these weapons and ammunition back." Lu Yuan, who took off his skull face armor, smiled at Xie Shenle and smiled, and at his signal, the four soldiers of the Imperial Association Army, who were extremely honest, piled up the weapons they were carrying with medicine and stacked them together, and then squatted honestly under a big tree. Lu Yuan's sudden appearance already made those desperate students excited, and when they saw that Lu Yuan alone had killed a large number of Imperial Association troops in the depths of the woodland, and brought back all the captured weapons and ammunition, the students immediately cheered.
Lu Yuan didn't bother with the students, but leaned over to check the injury on Xiao Zhenghua's shoulder, and found that Xiao Zhenghua's injury was not serious, so Lu Yuan was relieved. "You did a good job, at least let me know that you are a real Chinese gentleman, and in return for gaining my trust, the agreement between us can be written off. From now on, you can choose to continue with us, or you can choose to leave here and return to Laoyu Mountain, whatever choice you make, as long as you don't want to be a traitor, I will respect the choice you made. ”
Lu Yuan's words sounded a bit cloudy to Xie Shen, but to Xiao Zhenghua's ears, it was different, took the cigarette handed by Lu Yuan and thought about it carefully, Xiao Zhenghua chose to keep silent, neither said that he wanted to return to Laoyu Mountain, nor did he say that he would follow Lu Yuan and them to Shanxi. Lu Yuan didn't say anything about this, just smiled, and temporarily let go and continued to ask Xiao Zhenghua. "These Japanese puppet soldiers are all from Wangjiazhai, it may be that the two guards sent by the Sun family have attracted their attention, but don't worry, the Japanese puppet army in Wangjiazhai is almost dead."
Lu Yuan used a lighter to help Xie Shen light the cigarette, and then sat next to Xie Shen and whispered to the other party. "You stay here to rest for a while, I'll take a Sun family's guard to Wangjiazhai to have a look, so many people have died, we'd better rest in Wangjiazhai for one night before we go on the road." Lu Yuan's tone was obviously not discussing with himself, and Xie Shen didn't say anything against it, just nodded and agreed. I don't know what Lu Yuan said to Sun Debiao, almost nothing, Sun Debiao sent a guard to follow Lu Yuan out of the woods.
Not long after Lu Yuan left, Xiao Zhenghua also endured the pain and walked out of the forest, and walked all the way along the corpses of the Japanese soldiers in the field, Xiao Zhenghua returned to the official road unconsciously. Those mule and horse carts were still on the pipeline, and the reins of all the mules and horses were firmly fixed to the ground with bayonets, Xiao Zhenghua didn't know if this was done by those Japanese soldiers or Lu Yuan's means, anyway, there were many carts here, Xiao Zhenghua immediately waved the red cloth strip that Xie Shen handed him towards the woods.
Seeing Xiao Zhenghua waving the red cloth, Xie Shen, who was overjoyed in his heart, immediately walked out of the woods with the students with hesitant faces, and Sun Debiao also escorted Sun Minghui out of the woods. Huang Dashan and another guard of the Sun family escorted the four Imperial Alliance prisoners, and walked at the back with those weapons and ammunition, as for the weapons and ammunition on the corpses of the Japanese soldiers in the field, they had already been taken down by Xie Shen and handed over to those students to carry.
When the group returned to the official road and found that their luggage and belongings had only been rummaged over but not lost, the students' worried hearts were calmed down. "Captain Sun, we are going to stay in Wangjiazhai for one night tonight, I don't know how you plan to do it?" The left and right can't avoid the eldest lady of the Sun family, Xie Shen, who returned to the official road with all the students, took the initiative to attack, and after Sun Debiao and they also returned to the official road, he asked Sun Debiao first.
"Mr. Xie is polite, my Sun Debiao is a rough man and doesn't pay attention to things. You are a cultural person, don't be a rough person like me, there are only four people left now, so naturally we want to go to Shanxi with Mr. Xie all the way. "Sun Debiao is an old man, I heard that Xie Shen's words meant to part ways with a few of his own people, how can this be? With only himself and the two surviving guards, it is impossible to escort his eldest lady back to Shanxi safely. So Sun Debiao came to climb the pole with a very shameless face, and directly followed Xie Shen's words, saying that he was ready to rely on the other party.
Sun Debiao was shameless, but Xie Shen couldn't pull this face, so Xie Shen didn't say that he wanted to part ways with the other party. Seeing this, Sun Debiao was secretly happy in his heart, but when he turned his head, he suddenly saw Xiao Zhenghua, who didn't like to talk much, looking at him coldly. Sun Debiao didn't look down on Xiao Zhenghua before, and always thought that Xiao Zhenghua was just an unpopular bandit, but he never thought that such a guy who was not favored by himself could kill six Japanese soldiers in one go.
It is an indisputable fact that the Japanese soldiers are not easy to deal with, otherwise hundreds of thousands of national troops would not have been defeated in successive battles, Sun Debiao knew that even if he met the Japanese soldiers, he was afraid that he would not be able to fall well, so in the face of this bandit who could kill six Japanese soldiers in one go, Sun Debiao's heart was very jealous. A little flattering smiled at Xiao Zhenghua, Sun Debiao turned his head and went to his eldest lady's side, and the Sun family guard who was escorted over with the prisoners of the Imperial Association Army began to sort out the carriage for Sun Minghui. The carts and mules and horses are still the same as before, but the number of them with Xie Shen has decreased a lot, and the Sun family guards and coachmen, who originally had more than 30 people, are now only Sun Minghui and the four of them.
I don't know how Sun Debiao persuaded Sun Minghui, when Xie Shen and them rearranged their luggage and cart, Sun Debiao brought Xie Shen and them good news. "Mr. Xie, we can lend you the extra cart in our family. And my eldest lady said that all the goods trafficked back to Shanxi by our Sun family this time, as long as they can reach Shanxi safely, forty percent of the profits will be Mr. Xie's, I hope you don't shirk. Xie Shen's first reaction when he heard this was that he wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Xiao Zhenghua.
"Mr. Xie, this will be what we deserve, not to rob his grandson's family." Xiao Zhenghua nodded at Sun Debiao, and seeing that Xie Shen didn't seem to understand what he meant, he explained. "There are only four of them left in the Sun family now, there is no way to bring these big cars back to Shanxi, and they want to go to Shanxi with us, and we will be responsible for the safety along the way. According to the rules of darts, the Sun family took out forty percent of the profit of the goods, which is not considered to be our advantage, because this is the rule of the industry. ”
With Xiao Zhenghua's explanation, Xie Shen can be regarded as understanding, and there are still so many ways to talk about it. Since it is not a forcible seizure, Xie Shen will not stupidly refuse the kindness of the Sun family, after all, after these people arrive in Shanxi, they will have to enter Shaanxi all the way, and the cost on the way is indispensable. Xie Shen and the others were able to pack their luggage and carts, and they heard the sound of horses' hooves from a distance, Sun Debiao and Xiao Zhenghua raised their guns when they heard the sound, but found that it was the guard of the Sun family who rode over.
"Mr. Lu has already dealt with the remaining Japanese soldiers in Wangjiazhai, and the assassin is waiting in Wangjiazhai, and asked me to come back and inform everyone to take the convoy to Wangjiazhai to rest." This guard of the Sun family followed Lu Yuan to Wangjiazhai just now, and it was only a little more than an hour later, and he came back and said that Lu Yuan had controlled Wangjiazhai, and Xie Shen and the others immediately felt a burst of shock in their hearts, saying that this Lu Yuan was too powerful.
Of course, Lu Yuan has already controlled Wangjiazhai at this moment, but he only controls Wangjiazhai's public office, because this is the station of Wangjiazhai's Japanese puppet army. When Lu Yuan and the others arrived at Wangjiazhai, except for the Japanese puppet troops who were killed in the wild, there were actually only four Japanese soldiers, six soldiers of the Imperial Association Army and two men of the Imperial Association Army left in the Wangjiazhai Bureau. This point of the Japanese puppet army was not enough for Lu Yuan to plug his teeth, and with only a cigarette, Lu Yuan killed the four Japanese soldiers and forced down six soldiers of the Imperial Association Army and the two men.
