Anti-Japanese War: I, Li Yunlong, a warlord in Northwest Shanxi

Chapter 254: Investigation operation, two!

Chapter 255: Investigation Operation·
When the sun shines on the earth, the front of the grain store has begun to get busy, but the waiters who were called before have been replaced by a group of novices...

Not far away, an officer who looked like a captain of the Imperial Association Army came over with two followers. He glanced at Monk Wei who was carrying the goods, and then turned his disdainful gaze to Hu Shuo, who was standing at the gate to direct.

"Brother Hu, is there no problem today? Brother is always worried, so I came here to see how your preparations are going!"

The officer was none other than Zhang Dekai, the deputy captain of the Imperial Association Army whom Hu Shuo mentioned before!

Although he didn't like Zhang Dekai hugging him with a bad breath while talking, Hu Shuo still squeezed out a sincere smile and responded: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, I have never made any mistakes in my work, but you don't come here usually. , why did you suddenly think of coming over to help me check it out today?"

When Hu Shuo said this, Zhang Dekai looked at the unfamiliar faces of Monk Wei and others, squinted his eyes and asked, "Why are they all unfamiliar faces? I don't think I've seen them before?"

"Brother Zhang, you know that the city has been uneasy recently and it has been difficult to purchase grain. My previous brothers asked me to go out to raise grain, so I temporarily found some good people to come and help. Otherwise, next month's grain will be paid as soon as If you don’t go, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for Brother Zhang?”

After Hu Shuo made some reasonable remarks, Zhang Dekai, deputy captain of the Imperial Association Army, thought about it for a while and finally nodded...

"That's the reason... I came here this time because of this matter. Ito Colonel didn't know if he had lost his mind. He and his people were originally going to encircle and suppress the train robbers, but they went to attack Zhongyi Village and ended up miserable. The ending scene, if he hadn't been lucky, he would have died long ago! "

Holding Hu Shuo in his arms and coming to the edge, Zhang Dekai continued to look around with a stern look, and then whispered: "Because of Ito's disastrous defeat, not only did he lose more than a thousand people, but also his adjutant and Li Dazui This bastard is also dead. Now Ito intends to make me the commander of the Imperial Alliance Army, so I can’t let anything go wrong before the order is issued, so I have to come and see for myself!”

After being explained by Zhang Dekai, Hu Shuo pretended to be embarrassed and cupped his hands and said: "I don't care about other people, but I would like to congratulate Brother Zhang on his promotion. I will set up a table at Zuixian Tower another day, and then I will invite you." Have a nice drink, I guess you won’t be able to spare time today, I hope you’ll forgive me!”

"Hahaha... I feel comfortable listening to you. There is nothing we can do to forgive our sins. Brother will come to arrange this wine another day, so Brother Hu won't have to spend any money! As for today, let's settle it according to Brother Hu's wishes. Our good life will last forever, right?"

Zhang Dekai said, smiling with a shy big belly. After saying hello casually, he walked away with a follower, leaving only one follower to help Hu Shuo lead the way.

After seeing off Zhang Dekai, Hu Shuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. After giving Monk Wei a look, he shouted like a wealthy landlord: "You guys, don't let me be lazy. Hurry up and deliver the goods. Don't delay Taijun." It’s a big deal, otherwise be careful with your heads!”

With that said, Hu Shuo turned to look at Zhang Dekai's little follower who stayed to supervise and said, "Brother, come in and have a cup of tea. Don't worry, there won't be any trouble here. When it's sorted out, we'll set off!" The little follower knew that Hu Shuo Shuo was the popular person in front of Zhang Dekai. He didn't dare to put on airs at the moment and said with a smile on his face: "Captain Zhang has been promoted, and Shopkeeper Hu will probably be promoted as well. Then I will come over and ask for a drink."

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

The sedan chair people were carrying people, and Hu Shuo led the young followers into the house to drink tea. Monk Wei and others just looked at each other and then accelerated their work.

Not long after, the grain was loaded into the cart. Hu Shuo and his attendants sat on the carriage in front to open the way, while Monk Wei and others pushed the cart behind, just like delivering grain as usual...

After walking for about twenty minutes, there were more and more little devils on the street. If some patrols asked, the little followers could use their hands and feet to communicate. Finally, after about half an hour, several carriages finally arrived at the little devils. In front of the headquarters gate.

Glancing at the eight sentries at the door, Hu Shuo frowned...

There were usually two sentries at most at the entrance of the Little Devil's Headquarters, but there were suddenly six more. This was definitely unusual!

Zhang Dekai's little follower came forward and made babbling gestures for a long time, but finally said that he could not enter through the gate because the commander-in-chief of the little devils, Hirohito Ito, was meeting important guests today, so others had to avoid suspicion and avoidance.

After hearing this unexpected news, Hu Shuo felt a little touched, but his expression remained calm.

Following the little follower's guidance, the convoy quickly entered the Little Devil's headquarters through the side door...

The sentry at the door checked one by one that there were no dangerous items in the car before letting them go.

"The warehouse is ahead. This is Taijun's military base. No one is allowed to run around, otherwise you will be shot. Don't blame me for not warning you!"

The little follower gave a condescending warning to Monk Wei and others before leading the convoy into the warehouse to unload the goods...
