Chapter 541 The Ups and Downs of Troubled Times (06)

Just when they were extremely busy, Si Xuanyi received an order from above, ordering him to take the most capable troops to Shanghai immediately. The Japanese army was trying to remove a large number of priceless cultural relics from the Seaport Games. In addition to these cultural relics, there are also seven tons of gold that have just been looted from various places. Their task is to stop and take back these valuables.

"Seven tons of gold... that's a big amount." Zhao Chenggong said, "Although it's not the first time I've been to Shanghai, it's really hard to stay there."

"It has nothing to do with being nice or not. We are here to complete the mission." Si Xuanyi yawned and said, for him now, it doesn't matter where he goes, as long as he doesn't stay in Chongqing, he is a paradise.

"Shanghai is heavily guarded by the Japanese army. It may not be easy for us to toss around." Li Siming was still relatively calm.

"Even if we bring everyone here, it's only about 20 or so people. If there are too many people in that place, it's not easy to attack, but if there are too few people, it won't solve any problems. It's really troublesome." Si Xuanyi said with a frown. , "But it's really useless to think about it now, let's go and have a look first; give everyone an hour to pack up, and I'll set off right away."

"Actually, there is nothing to clean up. Anyway, we are outside now, and there is nothing to take with us." Fang Yuanshan felt that this order was really meaningless.

"He means to let you eat and drink quickly. Once we leave, we may take a long time to rest. How long have you been in the team? What is in your head? Can you be more careful?" Zhao Chenggong finally Caught an opportunity to run on this kid.

"Of course I know, I mean..." Fang Yuanshan blushed at what he said, but he was still ready to argue, but Zhao Chenggong didn't give him a chance at all, "Okay, hurry up! It's too annoying for you, so I'm an adult, and it's as if I can't take care of myself.”

"I..." Fang Yuanshan was about to explode if he didn't want what he said. As for burying himself like this?

"What are you... Hurry up." Si Xuanyi really had heard enough of the bickering between the two, and waved his hands impatiently.

"How to go to Shanghai this time?" Ye Feng asked suddenly.

"It's not clear yet. The local military command is making arrangements, so we just have to obey." Si Xuanyi said while changing his dirty clothes, "It is estimated that we will split up. After all, there are too many people and the goal is too big."

"This road is basically all activities in enemy-occupied areas. I'm afraid it will not be so easy." Li Siming checked his pistols. It is also troublesome to check along the way, but they have to take it with them. Without this thing in hand, they really feel uneasy, unless there is a reasonable way to solve this problem, but so far they have not thought of it.

Soon the local military command came up with several sets of plans, and arranged several identities for them, merchants, secret agents, puppet soldiers, and scars all over their bodies after being exposed to the wind and sun in the mountains. They really didn't look like merchants at all, but more Like bandits, it is more suitable for them to pretend to be spies. After all, even if they flaunt their identities, not many people dare to control them. However, it is too eye-catching for the dozen or so No. 20 people to walk together, so they I had to continue to divide into groups, act in groups of five or six people, and try to avoid being noticed.

"Actually, the land route is really not as easy as the sea route now. It is much faster and safer to go directly to Shanghai by boat than the land route." Li Siming changed his outfit, and it seemed that he did look like a spy of the Japanese puppet agency.

"Just listen to the arrangement. Anyway, we don't understand the situation with them. Maybe the plan between them is more reasonable and feasible." Si Xuanyi seemed to accept it calmly. He was not worried that he would encounter someone on the road. What trouble, after all, it is impossible to travel smoothly all the way in these turbulent years.

After Si Xuanyi arranged the personnel, he went on the road with Li Siming the woodcutter and the others. This outfit really allowed them to pass through unimpeded, and almost no one dared to stop them. Of course, they were not stupid enough to go directly to the devil's heavily defended place And the key distribution of troops, they are not stupid enough to make trouble for themselves.

On the way, they also killed a bully who oppressed the people, a Japanese and puppet tax official who collected taxes arbitrarily, blew up the arsenal of a little devil, and ostentatiously extorted hundreds of dollars from the puppet army as a For wrapping.

"According to the current speed of travel, we will arrive in Shanghai in about three days." Si Xuanyi said to the others while sitting in the tavern, no one in the tavern dared to eat with them, so it looked very deserted , even Xiaoer is hiding in the counter and can't come out. No one wants to deal with them more, let alone ask for trouble, so stay away from them.

"Aren't we a bit too ostentatious?" Fang Yuanshan felt particularly uneasy, after all, if they didn't often deliberately "expose" their identities deliberately, there wouldn't be people hiding from them everywhere.

"It makes people want to avoid it so that no one will take the initiative to make trouble for themselves." Si He said while eating, "There is nothing to worry about, you should eat and drink, don't forget who you are now, the more you The more shameless you are, the closer you are to the image of a Japanese puppet spy."

"Actually, we are not too different in the eyes of ordinary people." The woodcutter refers to their real military status. "Although it is not to the point where rats cross the street and everyone shouts and beats them, the degree of disgust is certainly no better than that of Japanese and puppet spies. go."

"Some things are deeply ingrained, and we cannot change them." Si Xuanyi said, just like two days ago they encountered a few puppet soldiers who took things from a small stall on the street and refused to pay, and even found fault with the stall owner. After a while, they smashed up all the stalls, they couldn't stand it anymore, they beat up those puppet soldiers and forced them to lose money, although they did a good thing that seemed brave, but at the time The bustling common people didn't have a single applause, even the small stall owner just ran away, and the stall was gone, not to mention the compensation. In fact, the small stall owner's idea is very simple, as long as he is alive, he dares to let him go. People lose money?Originally, just a few puppet troops were not easy to provoke, but now that they have recruited a bunch of spies, their own life will be lost, so it is better to leave quickly.

Although this is a good thing, they can also see from it that the state of military command in the hearts of ordinary people is actually not much better than this.

Although they have long been used to it for a long time, although they also know that "secret agent" is a derogatory term, and although they are essentially different from real spies, they can't see the difference at all in the eyes of outsiders. In the eyes of the common people, they are just spy dogs.

After eating, they bought some things to eat on the road. The reason why they came to eat at my place was because they ran out of dry food along the way and wanted to replenish it here.

Unexpectedly, when it was time to check out, Xiaoer didn't dare to collect the money, and just kept saying that everything was a treat from the boss, and everyone can use it well.

Si Xuanyi really didn't have the habit of not giving money for food, so he didn't intend to bother with these people, he threw the food money on the table and left, but what he didn't expect was that the little girl chased two streets and came out The money was returned to him, and he turned and ran.

"It seems that we really have to pay attention to our identities, and we can't be too ostentatious." Si Xuanyi shook his head when he saw that there was obviously more money in his hand when he paid before, "Even if you are not in trouble, don't give it to me." Others are making trouble."

"This status is really good. Alas, I don't spend money anywhere, and no one dares to mess with me." Fang Yuanshan said.

"What kind of skill is bullying the common people? Isn't this the virtue of these puppet soldiers? Commit yourself to the little devil, and then turn around to bully your compatriots." Li Siming saw a few puppet soldiers molesting a young woman in the distance and said, " I hate this kind of attack on my compatriots the most."

"You want to meddle in your own business again..." Si Xuanyi glanced over there, "Be quick and don't cause trouble."

Li Siming nodded and walked over there with strides, lifting the shoulder of a puppet soldier, pulling him back abruptly, almost pulling the guy back, the kid turned his head and saw him and immediately stared: "You Where the hell did he come from? Dare to use such great strength to pull on Uncle Ben?"

"You bastards do this kind of thing in broad daylight, you're so wicked and smokey." Li Siming opened his mouth and scolded, not polite at all.

"Which garlic are you? It's your turn to point fingers in front of grandpa?" Another puppet soldier turned his head and scolded, but he also noticed that Li Siming's aura seemed different from that of ordinary people, "Where did you come from? "

"Hall of the King of Hell..." Li Siming looked at the puppet soldiers and said.

"What the hell?" The puppet army didn't hear clearly, thinking they heard it wrong.

"Yan Wangye said that you should return to your positions, and asked me to see you off." Li Siming suddenly drew his gun and opened fire, and the puppet army closest to him was unprepared and his head was blown off by him.

"...Run" The rest of the puppet soldiers reacted, none of them made a desperate posture, but turned around and ran away, two of them dropped the guns in their hands, and four or five people just scattered like this ran away.

"It's really meaningless to deal with you bastards." Li Siming originally planned to have a bloody battle here, but he didn't expect such a result, even Si Xuanyi and others who were watching from a distance kept talking. Shaking his head, he closed the safety of the gun.

"Bah bah bah..." Li Siming didn't care about that, he threw his hands to save him and shot him a few more times, and several puppet soldiers were brought down. In fact, when he shot just now, the people around were scared away, so There were only a few puppet soldiers running wild on the street, so he dared to open fire so reassuringly.

"A bunch of wimps, it's really boring to deal with them." Li Siming shook his head as he walked back.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go quickly..." Si Xuanyi looked around, took a few people into the small alley, and then left the city without stopping. Martial law, leave early to save trouble.

"If I knew it didn't cost money to eat anywhere, we wouldn't have to spend the hundreds of dollars before." Fang Yuanshan poured a bottle of Laobaigan'er into the water-saving bottle, "No wonder so many people are willing to be traitors."

"Don't let me see you drinking..." Si Xuanyi glared at him.

"Then what... the journey is still far away. It's good to keep this stuff to relieve fatigue." Fang Yuan Shan Ben hurriedly threw away the empty bottle and hung the water bottle on the woodcutter's horse. I have the same respect as my father, and I have to say that the woodcutter has the ability to train him well.

"Hurry up and hurry up, try to arrive as early as possible, learn more about the situation and prepare for the follow-up action." Si Xuanyi got on his horse.

"Why do we have to go? There are so many military commanders in Shanghai that we don't have to solve this problem, right?" Fang Yuanshan has always had this doubt in his heart, but he never had a chance to ask.

"You're right, but don't forget, it's not just the gold, there are also a large number of precious cultural relics. Those people don't know anything about these things. We can manage and receive them systematically, so as to avoid any mistakes and losses. When they formulate their action plans, we must also pay attention to preventing the destruction of these cultural relics, and only we can do such a job." Si Xuanyi said, "That's why they took us all the way there. You have to keep in mind that we are not The rabble, in their view, we are definitely professionals in cultural relics protection.”

"So can it be said that this proves a recognition of our work from the side?" Fang Yuanshan asked.

"That's right! Our work has not been done in vain." Si Xuanyi looked at the sky, "We have to walk thirty miles before dark, otherwise we can only camp in the mountains. During this period, we have to pass through a mountainous area, everyone be careful Come on, there are bandits everywhere."

"We don't have too many spears, so let's take a detour." Li Siming said, they only had two spears.

"It's about the same within a hundred miles, and it doesn't make much sense to go around, just walk carefully." Si Xuanyi said, "Everyone, be more energetic, we little devils are not afraid, don't fall into the hands of bandits."

"Our progress is relatively fast in the past few days. It is estimated that we are the first batch to arrive in Shanghai." The woodcutter took a sip of his wine and nodded with satisfaction, "Let's go for a run!"

"Okay..." Si Xuanyi also became interested, "But they must not be too far away and must be within sight of each other. We are not in a competition where it is very troublesome to be singled out."

"Then let's go..." Fang Yuanshan twitched his horse's butt and rushed out first, "Is there any chance? I'll take a step first! Follow closely!"

"Okay! The last one will fetch water and wash everyone's feet." Si Xuanyi laughed loudly, "Everyone run for me, pass this place as soon as possible, and find a suitable village for lodging."
