"You, Captain Tang, may not look very young, but you look very handsome." One of the Yunnan troops tilted his head and whispered to Hou San, but his eyes were always paying attention to the movements in Tang City. Hou San just said
He smiled but said nothing. In fact, he had been following Tang Cheng for a long time, but he still could not really understand Tang Cheng. Including Liu Shitou, none of the people around Tang Cheng knew that he was a commander.
Weird thoughts and ideas may pop up, but they all know that they will never suffer a loss if they follow their parents.
There is a ferry here in Tiaoma Town. Wu Laosan has already taken Tengfei to the ferry. Tangcheng will choose this place to cross the Xiangjiang River. That’s because the ferries here are big enough to send Tangcheng’s carts across the Xiangjiang River. "You said.
Why isn't there a bridge here? If there was a bridge here, we wouldn't have to look for a ferry." Tan Fei, who followed Wu Laosan to the riverside ferry, looked coldly at the boatmen at the ferry.
Make a bunch of jokes and gossip.
Wu Laosan glanced at Tan Fei angrily. If this was not Tangcheng's request, Wu Laosan would definitely not come out with Tan Fei. Both Wu Laosan and Tan Fei were wearing the uniforms of the Yunnan Army. If this was
It's nothing in Changsha, and they might be interrogated by the police or military police, but this is Tiaoma Town. When facing these boatmen, Wu Laosan's military uniforms can play some roles, such as recruiting ferries.
.
"Mengzi, you guys go across the river first and search according to the direction we have planned in advance. Don't take it lightly because you think this is the rear. When we were in Songhu, I also encountered Japanese soldiers on the outskirts of Suzhou." The group hurriedly said.
When they rushed to the ferry, Tang Cheng ordered the Yunnan Army to come over and escort their soldiers to cross the river first. Of course, searching across the river was just an excuse for Tang Cheng. He just wanted to reduce the risk of being discovered by the military commander. After all, there were too many places at the ferry.
People of all shapes and sizes.
"Company commander, look." Liu Shitou, one of the last batch to rush to the ferry, suddenly grabbed Tang Cheng's arm, pointed in the direction behind him and shouted. Tang Cheng, who was being lifted off the cart, turned to look
, two trucks were speeding towards the ferry. Although it was still unclear what the situation of the two trucks was, Tang Cheng felt a panic flash in his heart for no reason.
"Hurry, you guys cross the river quickly, get on the boat and cross the river, right away." Tang Cheng suddenly shouted to Mengzi and the others who were standing by the river. Although Mengzi and the others didn't know why Tang Cheng was like this, they still didn't say anything.
, just jumped on the ferry that had just docked and rowed towards the center of the river. "Shitou, go and tell everyone to stop talking nonsense for a while. I guess the military commander is chasing me." Tang Cheng's face was frighteningly cold, and Liu Shitou didn't either.
If he dared to ask more questions, he just nodded and walked away.
Tang Cheng's guess was good. The truck that was speeding up was indeed a member of the military command, or Shen Huaiyu and his men. Although Tang Cheng and his men had suffered a heavy loss last night, the more Shen Huaiyu thought about it, the more he thought about it, and the more he felt dissatisfied that he could be the leader.
The commander of the military command, Shen Huaiyu, is not an idiot. Thinking carefully about what happened last night, Shen Huaiyu noticed some suspicions. After finding out the doubts, Shen Huaiyu smiled bitterly. He knew that he and his men were killed by those people last night.
The Yunnan Army designed it.
When Shen Huaiyu led people to pursue Tiaoma Town, he did not want to continue to track down the arms. He wanted to get back the weapons that were seized by Tangcheng and others last night. If the news that he had his weapons seized by the Yunnan Army spread, he would have lost them. Not only his own face, but also the face of the military commander. Tang Cheng didn't know this, so he still thought he knew the military commander when he came to investigate the arms matter. Even if it wasn't for this matter, I'm afraid he came to find trouble, otherwise he wouldn't do it once Two trucks came.
"Hey, aren't these the good guys from Liangma Mountain last night? What happened? They came here to find the accountant?" After Tang Cheng quietly hinted to Hou San and others, Shen Huaiyu and others jumped out of the truck without waiting. When the man spoke, Hou San and Dice rushed forward with a squeaking smile, and immediately removed the hammer of the shell gun in their hands. The busy crowd on the ferry screamed and dispersed in an instant, and anyone who saw the two groups pointing guns at each other Everyone will react in this way, of course, this does not include those in military uniforms like Tang Cheng.
It's not a good thing to be pointed at a gun, especially for someone in a high position like Shen Huaiyu. But no matter what, it's him who is at fault now. Shen Huaiyu had to open his hands and slowly move toward Hou San and the others. Came over. "What happened last night may be a little misunderstanding. Look, I don't have a weapon on me. I want to talk to your commander. It will be done soon. It only takes a short while." Seeing that Shen Huaiyu was already there. Taking the initiative to surrender, Hou San subconsciously turned around and looked towards Tangcheng.
"This idiot" Seeing Hou San turn around and look at him, Tang Cheng cursed secretly. Originally, he didn't want to show his face, but now it's better. He couldn't even think about it. Hou San didn't realize that it was because of his actions. , Tang Cheng had been exposed to Shen Huaiyu, and when he and Tang Cheng looked at each other, an absurd idea suddenly flashed in Shen Huaiyu's mind. Could the Yunnan Army's reselling of arms in Changsha have anything to do with the young officer in front of him? association.
"I am Shen Huaiyu, the commander of the Changsha Station of the Military Command. There may be a misunderstanding about what happened last night. We were originally going to perform a secret mission, but we didn't want to run into you. The execution of this mission During the process, our military commander could not reveal his identity, so we had to pretend to be bandits." Shen Huaiyu was worthy of being a military commander. He lied almost as soon as he opened his mouth. If Tang Cheng hadn't forcibly endured it, he might have laughed. Out.
"Stationmaster Shen, you see we are about to board the ship. If you have anything to say, you might as well tell us directly. As long as we can help, we will not refuse." Seeing that the other party was hesitant in speaking, Tang Cheng felt relieved and asked We are not here to track down the arms matter, other things are easy to talk about. Tang Cheng has made it clear, but Shen Huaiyu starts to get nervous. There is no other reason, mainly because in front of so many people, Shen Huaiyu It's hard to tell the purpose of my visit.
"Shitou, you go and help Fatty Ma move things, hurry up, we are going to cross the river." Xu Shi saw something strange about Shen Huaiyu, so Tang Cheng found an excuse to send Liu Shitou who was following him away. Tang Cheng and Shen Huaiyu are the only two people left beside the cart. If we include another person who can breathe, only the mule pulling the cart is left. "Stationmaster Shen, there are only two of us left now." , Just tell me if you have anything." Tang Cheng habitually took out a cigarette and handed one to Shen Huaiyu, who smiled, reached out, took the cigarette and lit it.
After taking a puff of cigarette, Shen Huaiyu said, "Since there are only two of us, I won't hide it. What happened last night was a misunderstanding, but you have to return the things you withheld last night." Give it to me, otherwise I won't be able to explain it when I go back." Shen Huaiyu's words made Tang Cheng want to laugh. The dignified military commander of the sub-station was disarmed by his own people. If this spreads out, Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Dapao will I know, I don't know how successful it will be.
Hearing that Shen Huaiyu came after him just to get back the seized weapons, Tang Cheng's heart suddenly fell to the ground, but he just returned the things to the other party so dryly, and he seemed to feel a little unwilling. A little bit After pondering for a moment, Tang Cheng raised his head and said, "Since it was a misunderstanding, the things should have been returned to you. There is nothing to say." Shen Huaiyu was about to smile, but Tang Cheng blocked his smile back with just one sentence.
"However, we really thought you were bandits last night. When we were chasing after you, several brothers sprained their feet. If I just return the things to you, the brothers will definitely blame me in their hearts. Can you think of this? , I will return those few muskets to you. We have little use for those things, but we have to seize three of the rifles to supply the brothers who were injured last night, and we have kept all the bullets for the rifles." Tang Cheng said it quite tactfully, but after hearing this, Shen Huaiyu nodded in agreement.
The main purpose of Shen Huaiyu's request for weapons was for those pistols. Those were standard imported items. Each gun had its own serial number. There were not many such pistols in the military. If he came from Shen Huaiyu lost these handguns. Regardless of whether last night's incident was spread or not, Shen Huaiyu, the webmaster, could not escape the blame. Tangcheng had promised to return all the handguns, and Shen Huaiyu was overjoyed. Who will care about the remaining shell guns? With only 10 rounds of ammunition, the military commander can have as many as he wants.
"My brother is a cheerful person, cheerful, let's do it like this." Shen Huaiyu couldn't wait to get back the pistols, and then he taught one of his subordinates to whisper a few words, and the latter nodded and walked towards where the truck was parked. Run. "Brother is so cheerful, we can't be careless in our work. We know that you have to return to Yunnan, and the journey is not short with high mountains and long rivers. Our military command has no other skills, but we still have the ability to divert some supplies. A few I’m giving you cigarettes and some medicines, just a small token of my gratitude. I hope you won’t refuse, brother.”
"Company Commander, do you think these Juntong guys are crazy? We deal with them, but they still rush to deliver things to us. Why can't I understand this? They're all cigarettes and Medicines, we don’t lack these things, why don’t we just give them some.” The box in Hou San’s hand contained 10 cartons of cigarettes and a lot of medicines, but Hou San didn’t seem to accept Shen Huaiyu’s. Affection.
"Whatever, since we've given it, we want it. It's enough for you. Three guns would be good. If you still want Dayang, I'll give it to you if it turns against you." Tang Cheng didn't look at Hou San's expression. He just smiled and waved his arms frequently towards Shen Huaiyu who was standing on the ferry. The latter also waved his arms towards Tang Cheng on the ferry. People who didn't know might think that Tang Cheng and Shen Huaiyu were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. .
