22. A Poor Zen Woman
"Brother Wenyuan, what a fate it is that I can meet you here." Jahanji looked carefully and confirmed that the person in front of him was none other than Wang Wenyuan.
"Has the matter with Gugrano been resolved?" Wang Wenyuan asked casually, and at the same time subconsciously glanced at the woods behind him, wondering if she would be back this time.
"The old fox is now hiding in a mountain villa on the meander of the Dayan River. The surrounding area is heavily guarded and ordinary people cannot enter." Jahangir said slowly, then opened the church door and carefully observed the surrounding situation.
"So your current identity is the Black Shirt Special Forces, not the Holy Saint?" Wang Wenyuan quickly got two key pieces of information. One was that the Southern Association behind Jahanji was much stronger than he expected, and the other was that Gu Yuexi
This time I came to Cohima, it is very likely that I came for Gugrano.
"Yes, the danger factor of the special forces is higher than that of the Holy Saint, but correspondingly, this identity also allows me to obtain more top-secret information." Jahangir ordered the soldiers to pay attention to the alert while chatting with Wang Wenyuan.
.
"Is this Christian church very important?" Wang Wenyuan thought of what he had just seen in the woods and wondered.
But Jahangir did not answer him, but stared at him for a while and whispered: "Can you tell me what is going on with you now?"
He smiled bitterly and said seriously: "I don't know either, just accept my second identity for the time being."
"Brother Wenyuan is indeed a greedy and lustful person." Jahangji couldn't help but smile, then regained his composure and said: "Although I don't know your purpose of following me, but now that you have been discovered by me, then you can
You have to follow me and do things honestly. If you can't, I will know the consequences."
Wang Wenyuan suddenly froze on the spot, thinking that curiosity really kills people. Regardless of whether there is meat to follow this guy or not, just based on what he has done these days, Li Boling and Gu Yuexi must not look good on him, maybe
It's not necessarily true that they were cruel enough to kill him.
If he had known this, why bother in the first place! Wang Wenyuan gritted his teeth and decided to take it one step at a time.
"Brother Wenyuan, does he know the origin of this church?" Jahanji looked at him with uncertain eyes, knowing that he was hiding something in his heart, so he planned to reveal some "dry information" to him.
"What can be the origin?" Wang Wenyuan said disapprovingly, thinking that the Christian church in Assam had only three origins: the religious people spontaneously raised funds to build it, the missionaries borrowed money to expand their influence, and the British and Indian colonial authorities funded it.
Control religious residents’ funding for construction.
Of course, the first possibility is slim. After all, during the British occupation period (1827-1947 AD), residents in Assam were generally poor. They were triple exploited by colonists, princes and nobles, and merchants and loan sharks. They even had to eat.
Question, how about raising money to build a church?
The second and third options are more likely, but in the end they must be stamped and signed by the British Governor-General or the Secretary of State before they can be implemented.
Wang Wenyuan was silent for a moment and briefly stated what he was thinking.
"Yes, the correct answer is the third option, but the British and Indian colonial authorities also had another purpose, which was to use the opportunity of building a church to explore an underground passage." Jahangir stopped and said slowly.
"Underground secret passage?" Wang Wenyuan immediately thought of the underground space in Sadiya Village, but he quickly rejected this guess, thinking that his head was short-circuited. Things hundreds of kilometers away can be connected.
"Exactly, it is said that this underground secret passage is connected to a mysterious underground palace. Inside the underground palace is a priceless giant scroll from ancient times." There was a trace of greed in Jahangir's eyes, as if he wanted to take it for himself.
"Why are you telling me these things? How can we get that thing?" Wang Wenyuan saw the greedy look on the guy's face and immediately retorted.
"That's right, even the British-Indian Governor can't handle something, we young boys should just... give it a try." Jahangir first showed an extremely melancholy look, and then looked ecstatic, as if "Desire is trying with God."
"Higher" look.
"Report, no guerrillas have been found yet." About 10 minutes later, a soldier walked over quickly and reported.
"Action." Jahangir immediately ordered, and at the same time tied the prepared lighting lamp to his waist.
Wang Wenyuan couldn't help but turned sideways and looked at Jahanji. The meaning was self-evident: Can you lend me a lamp?
"Since I want Brother Wenyuan to work with me, of course you have to do it." Jahangi took off his backpack and took out a brand new lighting lamp.
Wang Wenyuan nodded, turned on the lights, and followed the team.
According to the church floor plan, the secret room is located in a storage room at the end of the corridor on the first floor. It was originally a "cell" where the church interrogated heretical leaders; later, it was transformed into a "cornucopia" for storing gold and silver treasures, holy objects, and ancient books;
Later, the church was abandoned and the secret room lost its value.
"Be careful." Jahangir signaled the soldiers not to take it lightly. After all, the guerrillas only left temporarily, and there was no guarantee that they would return after they discovered something was wrong. Besides, who can guarantee that there were only dozens of guerrillas in this church?
"Yes." The two soldiers immediately stopped, turned up the brightness of the lights, pulled out their guns, and watched the surrounding situation with a little vigilance.
"Brother Wenyuan, please." Jahanji pointed to the secret room door not far ahead, hoping that Wang Wenyuan would take the lead for them.
Wang Wenyuan's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he thought that Jahangir was really insidious. If he was allowed to take the lead, didn't he want him to be their cannon fodder?
"What, are you scared?" Jahangir stared at him and asked with a slight "concern".
"Didn't I say that there is a treasure in the underground palace?" Wang Wenyuan forced a smile. The implication was: Are you really so kind, let me go ahead and get the treasure first?
Hearing him speak like this, Jahangir couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Of course, I never tell lies."
Wang Wenyuan sneered, raised his head and walked into the secret room openly.
But what he didn't know was that Jahangir's "conspiracy" not only did not make him cannon fodder, but actually saved his life.
****
As for Gu Yuexi, since she couldn't find Wang Wenyuan, her heart became depressed. Although she knew that one day he would choose to leave, but when that day really came, she found that she still
Some cannot accept it.
Seeing the sudden appearance of a large number of black-shirted soldiers in the northwest of the city, she knew that she could not delay it any longer. The most important thing right now was to leave Kohima City as soon as possible and go to the meander of the Dayan River to look for Gugrano. As for the rest,
Just go with the flow.
Since she didn't have a mount and the road was far away, she simply came to the tree and fired the grappling hook to quickly move through the branches and leaves in the hope of reaching her destination soon.
However, this method seemed to increase the speed, but it also weakened the ability to perceive direction invisibly, so in less than half an hour, she could not tell the difference between north, south and south.
"Alas." She squatted down and sighed uncontrollably, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
But at this moment, a rather urgent cry for help suddenly came from a place about a hundred meters away from her.
Gu Yuexi's heart suddenly tightened, knowing what it meant to be in danger in the forest, so she hurriedly jumped down from the branch, followed the sound, and ran quickly.
Soon, she found the source of the sound in a depression in the forest.
Taking a closer look, it was a Zen woman about forty years old wearing coarse clothes. At this moment, her sallow face was full of fear, and her wheat-colored skin was covered with dirt and blood stains.
Beside her, stood four middle-aged men in black military uniforms. At this time, a deep cold smile appeared on their faces, as if they felt that torturing the poor person in front of them was something.
A very happy thing.
"Help, let me go." The woman used all her strength to push away a bloated officer on the side and ran quickly towards the bushes on the side.
But before she could even take two steps, one of the black-shirted soldiers hit her in the head with the butt of a rifle. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.
The other two black-shirted soldiers looked fierce, raising their fists and boots to beat her when she lost the ability to resist.
Seeing such a tragic scene in front of her, Gu Yuexi couldn't help it anymore. She suddenly pulled out her long knife, and with one swift step, she rushed to the side of the black-shirted soldier, slashing left and right. It only took a few seconds before she was finished.
The lives of these inhumane beasts.
"Girl, you are really my savior." As soon as she put away the knife, the woman's grateful words came to her ears.
"It's nothing to worry about." Gu Yuexi didn't say much, but turned around and helped the woman up.
Unexpectedly, the next second, the woman knelt down with a plop, a look of begging flashed in her dark eyes.
"Auntie, what do you mean?" Gu Yuexi looked at her with confusion, wondering if the woman had other things to do and wanted her help?
"May I ask, girl, if you can do me one more favor?" The woman hesitated for a moment, then spoke word by word in a very low, slightly hoarse voice.
"For now." Gu Yuexi wanted to shirk the woman's request on the grounds that she had something important to do, but her emotions took over at the last moment.
"My husband and children are still trapped in the city. May I ask, girl, if you can come with me to rescue them?" It can be seen that the woman is extremely conflicted in her heart, so she speaks hesitantly.
"This..." Gu Yuexi fell into silence immediately. On the one hand, she was not unaware of the dangers in the city, but on the other hand, thinking that she had lost her parents since she was a child, she could not bear to refuse the woman's request.
Seeing how embarrassed she was, the woman didn't say anything, but sighed softly, and then walked quickly in the direction of 6 o'clock.
Seeing her thin back fading away, Gu Yuexi gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and simply followed her.
"Auntie, isn't the city of Cohima under martial law? How do you plan to get in?" Gu Yuexi thought of what she had seen and heard in the city before and asked in confusion.
"Young girl, you don't know. In addition to waterways and four official roads, there are two secret passages connecting Kohima to the outside of the city. These two secret passages are very hidden and few people know about them." The woman raised her head and said slowly.
Speak slowly.
