Chapter 111: Beheading the hunchback! (10)(1/2)
After Yulia and Peter were released, the two moved a little while, and their listless spirits were slightly restored.
"You two should know where this is and what I want to do. Let's talk about your current thoughts?" Lu Shan casually found a box, dusted it a little, and sat down.
Yulia's lips were white, a little chapped, and her mental state was very poor. In fact, she did not receive much abuse. This was just a psychological fear, or an instinctive look of weakness, which would win the other party's sympathy!
If a woman has this instinct, she will naturally show it, and she doesn’t have to say that she is acting!
"Sir, can I drink water? I haven't drunk a sip of water since I got on the boat last night, and my mouth is so dry that I can't speak!" Peter opened his mouth and said.
Lu Shan nodded and signaled Wu Zi to bring him a glass of water!
Wu Zi took off the kettle he carried and handed it over!
Peter unscrewed the kettle, held the pot and drank more than a dozen sips of water, then put the kettle in his hand and returned it to Wu Zi!
Wu Zi took the kettle and found a hint of desire in Yulia's eyes. She handed the kettle in her hand over.
Yulia took the kettle gratefully, and after opening it, she took a sip like Peter, choking her and coughing, her pale face turned red!
"Mr. Peter, you should understand that cooperating with us is your only way to survive. Compared with the current situation, you must know a little bit. In the future, we will inevitably cooperate with the Soviet government. At that time, you will face a double blow from us and the Soviet Union. Maybe you can defect to the Japanese, but the Japanese are unfamiliar jackals. They are your enemies until they are your enemies. Don't expect them to help you restore your country. Just look at the Manchukuo today and understand what the Japanese did!" Lu Shan said slowly.
"I know that the Japanese are not kind, but you Chinese and we Russians are not without hatred. We have invaded you now. Don't you hate us?" Peter asked.
"Is a person who has lost his country worthy of hatred?" Lu Shan said. "Besides, if we don't rise up and resist now, we will become slaves of the country like you!"
"The slave of the country is right, sir, I know I don't have the right to have equal dialogue, but I just hope you can guarantee the safety of me and Yulia!" Peter said.
"As long as you are willing to cooperate, there is no problem with security. The Soviet Union is not able to point fingers on China's land!" Lu Shan nodded.
"Okay, I promise you. But I hope you can protect Yulia!" Peter said.
"Don't worry, we won't let Miss Yulia be hurt!" Lu Shan nodded, "Now talk about our action plan!"
"How can you contact Juganov and hand over the arms obtained to him after the transaction with Ma Bokai is completed?"
"There is a store in Tulongshan Town that runs Russian goods. It is a secret contact point for us. As long as you send the message, Jiuganov will receive the message soon and then take the initiative to ask us to meet!" Peter said.
"How often will there be news?" Lu Shan asked.
"It was not more than one day before, and I don't know now!" Peter said.
"Okay. Let's go to Tulongshan Town according to the contact information you said!" Lu Shan gave the order.
"There is another one, I must come forward to deliver the letter, otherwise they will not believe it!" Peter said.
"Don't worry, I will send someone to go with you!" Lu Shan nodded.
"Mr. Lu, what's going on?" Wang Yong was confused when he heard it.
"Wang Yong, this matter is now secret. That's it..." Lu Shan pulled Wang Yong up and explained in a low voice.
After listening to it, Wang Yong felt as if he was listening to a story, and at the same time he was also frightened. Good guy, it was incredible that this Japanese and the White Bandits had conspired to do such a thing.
"This matter is top secret and cannot be mentioned to anyone!" At the end, Lu Shan reminded.
"clear!"
"Mr. Lu, they didn't have a meal all night. Did you get some food for them?" Lu Zheng asked for instructions.
"Well, get them some hot and some energy, we have to use them!" Lu Shan nodded.
The big ship headed northward and then sailed into the Wokan River, a tributary of the Songhua River. From the big river to the big river, the speed of the boat traveled significantly slowed down a lot.
However, the journey was quite smooth, and I thought I would be able to enter Huanan in half a day!
When entering Huanan, you have to go ashore and take a long way to get to Tulongshan Town by land. They followed the way Peter and others, got ashore from a place called Xiaogui's house, then changed to horses, and walked for about three hours. Then they felt that Tulongshan Town was expected to be able to arrive at around three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
Peter and Yulia were used as a couple as a cover, and they also brought a total of twenty people, all of whom had been arrested.
Ten of them followed them into Taipingzhuang, and ten others were also arrested on the dock!
Lu Shan originally had thirty-one people on this trip, but later Wang Yong and Lu Zheng were added, and there were thirty-three people in total!
Thirteen people came out, and after they got ashore, they had to go there in two groups.
Lu Shan, Yang Shangwu, Lu Zheng and Wang Yong led two teams of sixteen people to go with Peter and Yulia, while Wu Zi led the three Dexin brothers and another team as merchants as cover, taking the lead, and monitored and controlled the Russian shop that Peter said in advance to ensure that no accidents happened!
The plan went smoothly. At around 11 o'clock noon, the big ship docked at the wharf of Xiaogui's house. Wu Zi led Ren Dexin and others to take the lead, while Lu Shan directed Yang Shangwu and others to unload the weapons and equipment from the ship, and then found the carriages and horses they stored here according to what Peter said!
After having lunch at Xiao Gui's house, he got on the carriage and headed towards Tulongshan Town with his weapons and equipment!
"Mr. Lu, my brother Dong has a brother living in Tulongshan Town. When I get to the place, I will take you there!" Wang Yong said.
"Wang Yong, have you ever thought that Dong Shengtang was arrested and his subordinates were betrayed?" Lu Shan asked.
"This..." Wang Yong was suddenly stopped by Lu Shan.
"This is just an assumption of mine. Maybe things are not what we imagined, but it is impossible. Although the Japanese forces in Huanan County are only in the Tuoyaozi Gold Mine and Tuoyaozi Town, there are no other powerful forces here after all, and our army has not succeeded in several clearings. This is very telling the problem!" Lu Shan said.
"I understand, but these people are brothers who live with Brother Dong. If someone really betrays Brother Dong, I will definitely cut him alive!" Wang Yong said angrily.
"Well, the traitor is hateful, especially the traitor who has become a traitor!" Lu Shan nodded.
Lu Shan and his team changed into Peter's men's clothes, and then took some disguise and looked at them from afar. This was a group of Belarusians.
Lu Shan and the others walked along the way, basically traveling freely. They did not encounter any situation at all, and they could be said to be calm!
We have been working all the way. Tulongshan Town has arrived.
"Contact Wu Zi and the others to see how the situation is in the town?" Lu Shan turned his head and ordered Yang Shangwu to do it.
"I understand!" Yang Shangwu took the order and left.
Given that Tulongshan Town may be the secret stronghold of the White Bandits, Lu Shan instructed Yang Shangwu to be careful not to make anyone discover it!
After a while, Yang Shangwu came back.
Tulongshan Town is a place where Korean, Manchu and Han people live together. The ancestors of the Han people were mainly prisoners who were sent to the Qing Dynasty. The town was not large, with a population of about a thousand people, but there were many faces from Belarus.
No wonder we can open a grocery store here that specializes in selling Russian products. It turns out that there is a certain market here.
Wu Zi also brought a message, that is, the owner of this Russian shop is Roo, a Russian old man in his fifties. He is very famous in the town because he is an absolute drunkard!
No wife, no children, single. I have been living in this small town for almost ten years!
It is not easy for a Belarusian old man who has lived in such a small town for ten years to be so content with loneliness and obscurity.
"Roao is a veteran who participated in the Russo-Japanese War. After the failure of the war, he was injured and could not go back and stayed. Later, he heard that his family had received the news of his death. His wife remarried and the children followed him. After that, there was no news. He came to Tulongshan Town to open this shop. Then, unfortunately, his son was beaten to death in the battle with Red Russia. After that, he began to work for General Horvat. He was a very stubborn old man. His greatest wish was to avenge his dead son..."
"Peter, how did you know this?" Lu Shan said.
"I've talked to him a few times. He's very talkative, but he's very irritable, especially after drinking!" Peter said.
"Can you deal with it?" Lu Shan asked.
"He is pretty good to me, there should be no problem!" Peter said.
"Since this Roo has served as a soldier, he must be more vigilant than ordinary people. To avoid accidents, monks can control them when necessary!" Lu Shan ordered Yang Shangwu to do it.
"I understand!" Yang Shangwu nodded solemnly.
"Let's go, let's enter the town!" Lu Shan greeted, and the resting team moved again, with the goal being Tulongshan Town.
It was already afternoon, and the town had already returned to peace. There were not many pedestrians on the street. Just counted on the street, and it would be nice to have ten people.
Roo's shop is located on the only street in the town, and it is the most golden shop in the town.
Half of the store door was hidden. It seemed that the boss felt that there was no business anymore, and it didn’t make much sense to open the door wide!
This shop is run by Roo alone. With his slight amount of money, he has to pay the rent and his daily life. He has very little left every month, so how can he afford to hire a helper?
The door opens at 9 o'clock in the morning and closes at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Then, they get drunk every day. Such a person is actually a mud that cannot be supported on the wall. Maybe one day he will die of drunkenness. No one knows.
Peter, Yulia, Yang Shangwu and Lu Shan, a total of four people pushed the door and walked in, while the rest were guarding outside the door.
"Ro, Roo..." Peter shouted!
After screaming seven or eight times, I saw a messy old man with white hair poking his head out from behind the counter. His scarlet eyes seemed to be drunk and he was still drunk. His mouth was filled with a strong smell of fishy smell and alcohol.
"Peter, Miss Yulia, you're here one day late!"
"We encountered a small situation, but fortunately it has been resolved!" Peter replied calmly.
"Oh, the Colonel is already impatient. If you don't come again, my store will be closed!" Roo staggered from the counter and burped loudly.
"This is also impossible. Something happened to Mr. Ma. The transaction was postponed for one day, otherwise I would have been back!" Peter explained.
"Oh, why delay the transaction?" Roo asked.
"I heard from Ma that people came from the arsenal and the wind was tight. He had to be careful to avoid trapping himself in!" Peter said.
"That's right, the colonel has sent someone to investigate the situation. I believe there will be news back soon!" Roo said.
"The Colonel sent someone to investigate?" As soon as he said this, not only Peter was shocked, but even Lu Shan frowned slightly.
"Yes, you didn't return at the prescribed time. The colonel thought something was wrong and immediately sent someone to Taipingzhuang. Now you are back, that means nothing is there!" Roo smiled.
"That's, that's..." Peter smiled.
"Ro, I'm going to see the colonel right away. This time we encountered some trouble in the transaction with horses. Maybe we won't be able to trade for a while in the future!" Peter said to Roo according to the words of Lu Shan.
"Why, aren't your cooperation good? Why is this happening?" Roo expressed his confusion.
"Ro, I can't say a word, I must see the Colonel right away!" Peter said.
