"Little brother, we meet again, why didn't you go back with your classmates?" Xie Bo looked at the somewhat embarrassed Tangcheng with a smile. The embarrassment and uneasiness the young man suppressed reminded him of when he first entered Huangpu.
When I was in the military academy, wasn't this how I reacted when I faced the principal?
"They and I are not from the same school. They went to a public middle school, and I went to a missionary school. The pastor ran out of cigars, and I came to buy cigarettes for him." Tangcheng's lie came out as soon as he opened his mouth, but he didn't understand it at all.
They forgot that it was just a small cigarette stall on the roadside, where could there be such luxury items as cigars? Xie Bo and the others looked at each other and smiled, but they did not expose Tang Cheng's lies, but Liu Yangyang's eyes clearly showed his affection for Tang Cheng.
Interested, Xie Bo also had a good impression of this smooth boy.
"Are you from Shanghai?" Xie Bo asked Tangcheng with a smile. After receiving a positive answer, Xie Bo suddenly had an idea, "Then you must have been here too. This is the first time for us country bumpkins to come back to Shanghai. You
Can you take us around here?" Among Xie Bo's group, only Liu Yangyang has been to Shanghai a few years ago. It's already good to find Baoshan Road here. Xie Bo still wants to look around, but there is no one there.
People who are familiar with the topography of Shanghai obviously cannot do this, and the emergence of Tangcheng just solves the problem.
"Oh, I have to rush back to the church to clean up later, why don't I just lose my dinner." Tang Cheng's face showed the look of "I want to help you, but I'm sorry." A 19-year-old kid actually
Being so naughty, Xie Bo's interest in Tangcheng deepened a bit. Regardless of whether Tangcheng wanted to or not, Liu Yangyang and the others vaguely surrounded Tangcheng in the middle.
"Okay, okay, you can't explain clearly when a scholar encounters a soldier. I'll help you, but don't stand so close. I'm a little scared." Tang Cheng said he was scared while shrinking his neck, but he was not really scared at all.
Tang Cheng revealed the identity of Xie Bo and the others. Seeing a cold flash in Xie Bo's eyes, Tang Cheng quickly smiled and said, "I am not a Japanese spy. Those military police will look at your ID."
Let us go. You are either officials or soldiers. The military and police in Shanghai are afraid of these two kinds of people. But I think you must be soldiers. The pastor was also a soldier when he was young. The smell on your body
almost."
"The little one has good eyesight. He will take us for a walk around the Japanese war zone. If I'm satisfied, I'll treat you to dinner." As soon as Tang Cheng finished speaking, Liu Yangyang's big palm like a cattail leaf fell on the back of his neck.
But Liu Yangyang didn't beat him, but gently pressed on the back of Tang Cheng's neck. Tang Cheng struggled a few times, but Liu Yangyang was a veteran who had been in the army for many years, and his opponent had many tricks.
Go, Ren Tangcheng struggled hard, but couldn't get rid of Liu Yangyang's hand.
"Let's go, lead the way for us, and by the way, you can also introduce to us the places we see, so that I, a big old man, can also gain experience." Knowing that the person in front of him was difficult to deal with, Tang Cheng had no choice but to
He angrily agreed to lead the way for Xie Bo and the others. April's face was like a child's face, which was used to describe the rapid changes in the weather, just like the face of a child crying and laughing, but Tangcheng's temper was even faster than that of April. He led the way.
Xie Bo and the others had not gone far, and he was already chatting lively with Liu Yangyang. If they weren't in the Japanese war zone, maybe Tang Cheng would be clamoring to see the shell gun that Liu Yangyang had on his waist.
"It's weird. When I usually come here with others, these Japanese are more fierce than the other. Today it's so weird. Why are they avoiding us?" Liu Yangyang praised Tang Cheng's good eyesight, and then walked not far away.
The heresy was discovered in Tangcheng. Xie Bo and Liu Yangang looked at each other and said to themselves that this boy was indeed different from students of the average age. There were many Japanese in the public concession, and even more Japanese in the Japanese-controlled area.
Not far in front of Xie Bo and the others, a Japanese ronin in kimono walked over. Xie Bo winked at Liu Yangyang and gestured with his mouth to Tangcheng, who was looking east and west.
"Boy, how about we make a bet?" Liu Yangang put his arm around Tang Cheng's shoulders and whispered in his ear, "Have you seen the Japanese guy opposite? You walk towards him and don't give way to him.
Dao, I said this Japanese will turn around and leave as soon as he sees you. Do you believe it? If I lose, I will give you five silver dollars. If you lose, then you will be sent to the street where we met.
How about it? Do you dare to bet?" Liu Yangyang let go of Tang Cheng, and then looked at Tang Cheng with a look that said I dare not agree to it.
Tang Cheng was really beating a drum in his heart. These people were not very familiar with him, but in a blink of an eye, he thought that no matter whether he won or lost in this bet, he didn't seem to suffer any loss. If he won, he would get five silver dollars, if he lost, he would just send them back later.
Tang Cheng rolled his eyes at Liu Yangyang, and then plucked up the courage to walk towards the Japanese ronin. He secretly prayed in his heart that the Japanese ronin, who looked a little drunk, would never hide the knife, otherwise he would probably be killed today.
Here blood splatters on the long street.
Kawada, who was drunk, was stepping on his wooden clogs and walking aimlessly. His eyes were aimlessly scanning the windows of the street shops. He was stunned by the oncoming Tangcheng, but what he meant by this Chinese brat was
He didn't intend to give way to himself. When he saw a Chinese man rushing towards him, Kawada would have been angry if he was usually on the street. But today, he took the initiative to avoid it. Just yesterday, the consulate asked them to minimize the number of people.
When you go out, if you really have to go out for business, try to cause as little trouble as possible. In short, try not to provoke the Chinese at this time.
"It's strange, little Japan has really changed its gender?" Liu Yangyang became more and more puzzled when he saw this. It would be okay if they were the ones who would make the Japanese retreat, but Tang Cheng is just an ordinary boy. He usually has the habit of imitating the sideways movement of a crab.
The walking Japanese ronin actually gave way to Tang Chuan, and Liu Yangyang had to secretly say that he was surprised. Scratching the short hair on his head, Liu Yangyang murmured to himself, "This little Japan doesn't seem to want to mess with us."
"If he doesn't want to offend us, then let's offend him." Xie Bo showed a fierce look in his eyes and made a secret gesture, and his two soldiers rushed towards the Japanese ronin from left to right. The passage in front of Kawada was blocked.
He had been completely blocked by Xie Bo's group. No matter how he dodged, he finally collided with two of Xie Bo's men.
"Baga!" Kawada, who was knocked against the wall of the shop behind him, cursed subconsciously. He had already given way to that Chinese brat. Why did they, the Chinese, still want to bump into him on purpose? Could it be that they thought he was easy to bully?
The furious Kawada habitually stretched his hands to his waist, where his two samurai swords were usually stuck.
"***, who are you scolding?" The guy who was scolded had a fierce look in his eyes. He lifted up his clothes and exposed the twenty-gun box cannon on his waist. Kawada, who had not reached for the samurai sword, suddenly saw the opponent's waist.
The box cannon in the room suddenly shrank, and his pupils shrank. Then he looked at Xie Bo and Liu Yangyang, who were slowly following up. Their waists were bulging, and their expressions changed greatly. Then, in full view of everyone, they turned around and walked into a Japanese restaurant on the street.
At the restaurant, this guy actually surrendered and backed down.
Liu Yangyang and the others looked at each other. This was in the Japanese Concession. Why did the Japanese become cowards? Xie Bo vaguely guessed the reason. This matter must be related to the Hongqiao Airport incident that happened yesterday. Most of these Japanese got it.
The Shanghai Consulate ordered them to try not to cause trouble these days. If the Japanese were still as arrogant and domineering as usual, maybe Xie Bo wouldn't think too much about it, but the more Japanese in the Japanese war zone were like this, the more they didn't dare to provoke them.
, Xie Bo felt even more uncertain, and he felt that the Japanese were brewing some conspiracy.
Xie Bo turned his attention to Tang Cheng and said with a warm smile, "Little brother, can you do me one more favor? You said you have acquaintances on the street. Do you know anyone in this Japanese war zone?"
Help me find out what's wrong with these Japanese people, they all look weird." Xie Bo and the others are not familiar with Shanghai at all, and the only thing they can count on now is Tangcheng. This boy is a bit unusual, Xie
Bo felt that he could help him.
Tang Cheng was concentrating on thinking about the shell gun on Liu Yangyang's waist. Hearing that Xie Bo asked him to help, he agreed without hesitation, turned around and walked towards a nearby street. "Lianzuo, can this kid do it?" Liu said.
The goat looked at Xie Bo with a half-smile. He knew that his company commander was probably also plotting against Tang Cheng. They all wanted to get this kid into their company.
Xie Bo, who was taking a cigarette from his pocket, just smiled and did not answer. In just one cigarette, Tang Cheng, who had high hopes for Xie Bo, ran back from the corner and said, "I've asked everything clearly. I'll find someone on the street."
My friend inquired about it and said that the Japanese consulate issued an order yesterday not to allow these Japanese to conflict with the Chinese. I don’t know the specific reason. It’s just that since yesterday, the Japanese in the concession have become much more honest. Not only do they not dare to provoke
We, even the ordinary people, don't mess with the Japanese." Tang Cheng's eyes had a look of disbelief. If he had known it would be like this, he would not have stood guard for those two when he passed the roadblock in the Japanese Concession just now.
The Japanese soldier bowed.
"Oh, it was the Japanese Consulate that gave the order." Xie Bo turned around and looked at Liu Yangyang, and only the two of them understood the meaning in their eyes. What happened at Hongqiao Airport was just yesterday, and the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai gave the order that day.
Japanese expatriates and troops should not provoke the Chinese. This is completely contrary to the Japanese government's request for an explanation from the Nationalist Government. Xie Bo has definitely judged that the behavior of the Japanese in the concession is a deliberate deception.
The Japanese army was actually gathering their troops to attack Shanghai.
