Chapter 1579 I won’t kill him
In northern Shaanxi, Laoshan is a remnant of Huanglong Mountain.
The mountain path is rugged and narrow, with cliffs and steep slopes on both sides.
Xiang Chu led the convoy to this place and hurriedly ordered:
"Lao Gan! Pull over."
"Squeak!"
Gan Rong hurriedly stopped the car.
The three cars behind followed closely behind and stopped by the roadside.
Mr. Wu asked doubtfully, "Chu! What's going on?"
Xiang Chu said solemnly: "Uncle! This kind of terrain is most suitable for enemy snipers to hide. I want to send people to scout ahead and eliminate potential dangers.
The Military and Central Intelligence Agency agents may not give up this last chance to attack."
Mr. Wu nodded and said, "A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step! Send someone to scout."
"Yes!"
Xiang Chu hurriedly accepted the order, got off the car and said:
"Zhang Fei! Xiao Liu! Each of you will take 10 shadow spies to search the mountains and forests on both sides of the road."
"Yes!"
Zhang Fei and Xiao Liu hurriedly accepted the order.
20 shadow spies rushed into the forests on both sides and searched forward.
Liu Zhengxiong walked up to Xiang Chu and shook his head, saying, "Lord Chu! This place is so close to Yan'an, how could there be people hiding in the mountains and forests on either side to attack?"
Xiang Chu said angrily, "It's better to be safe than sorry! Laoshan has been plagued by bandits before; even Mr. Wu was attacked. It's best to be cautious in this terrain."
When Liu Zhengxiong heard this, he said hurriedly:
"Then why don't you send more people to wipe out the bandits here."
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! The bandits have long been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army. What we have to guard against is sniping by spies from the Military Control Commission or the Central Control Commission."
Liu Zhengxiong said in disbelief, "The Military and Central Bureau agents dared to come here. Isn't it obvious they're courting death?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Old Liu! You underestimate them too much. They dared to disguise themselves as patriotic youths and sneak into Yan'an."
Liu Zhengxiong looked at the young man walking on the road and said thoughtfully:
"Then tell me! Are there any White Party spies among these young people who are walking to Yan'an?"
Xiang Chu said angrily: "I'm not a god, how can I recognize the White Party's spies at a glance?"
Liu Zhengxiong shook his head and said, "So, you're saying there are spies hiding in this mountain? What if the spies are hiding among the young people? At such a close distance, wouldn't Mr. Wu be in great danger?"
Xiang Chu smiled and asked, "Tell me! Which car is Mr. Wu in?"
Liu Zhengxiong looked around, puzzled, "Hey! Where did you hide Mr. Wu? Did you disguise Gan Rong as Mr. Wu?"
"Boom! Boom!"
Suddenly, gunshots were heard on the mountain.
Liu Zhengxiong exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Chu! Are there really spies hiding in the mountains? Are they from the Military Control Commission or the Central Control Commission?"
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Central Bureau agents! They followed us all the way and never fired a shot."
Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Yes! They are unwilling to give up."
The gunshots continued for a while before gradually subsiding.
Soon, Zhang Fei led the shadow spies down.
Zhang Fei reported: "Brother Xiang! There were three Central Bureau of Investigation agents ambushed on the mountain. We killed two of them and one escaped. Xiaoliu led his men in pursuit, and no one on our side was killed or injured."
Xiang Chu said anxiously, "Zhang Fei! Send a signal to Xiao Liu to stop chasing and come back quickly. Lao Liu! Take your men to escort Mr. Wu and the children ahead, I'll wait for Xiao Liu and the others."
"Yes!"
Zhang Fei and Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly accepted the order.
"Bah!"
A red flare rose into the air, drawing an arc towards Xiaoliu and the others.
Liu Zhengxiong drove two cars into the Laoshan Gorge and headed towards Sanshilipu.
In Sanshilipu, even a welcome banner was hung.
Brigade Commander Chen and Director Li were bored waiting, so they started playing chess under a big tree.
The two men fought back and forth on the chessboard, and the game was difficult to determine.
Director Li heard the gunshots coming from the direction of Laoshan and exclaimed in surprise:
"Old Chen! What's going on at Laoshan?"
Brigade Commander Chen placed a piece and said arrogantly: "Eat the horse! It might be that Xiang is killing the White Party spies. Don't worry about it!"
Director Li said angrily, "Why don't you care about your own apprentice? If anything happens to him, I see you crying in the bathroom."
Brigadier General Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! This kid has nine lives. If he can't get Mr. Wu here safely, I won't have this apprentice."
Director Li smiled bitterly and said, "You say one thing and mean another! If you don't want it, give it to me immediately. I'll wake up laughing in my dreams."
"No!"
Brigade Commander Chen flatly refused.
At this moment, the head of security came running over and reported loudly:
"Chief! Mr. Wu is back."
"Great!"
Brigade Commander Chen said happily, threw down the chess piece and ran out.
Director Li shook his head and said, "Old Chen really loves his disciples."
The head of the security department asked with a smile, "Director! Who is Brigade Commander Chen's apprentice?"
Director Li said as he walked, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"
The security chief nodded and said, "Yes!"
At the checkpoint, a jeep and a truck drove over the barrier and stopped by the roadside.
Mr. Wu got off the car and shook hands cordially with Brigade Commander Chen, Director Li and others, chatting and laughing.
Brigade Commander Chen laughed and said, "Mr. Wu! If you don't come back soon, we'll be worried sick."
Mr. Wu smiled and said, "This time, it's all thanks to your apprentice, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to come back."
Brigade Commander Chen shook his head and said, "You are so lucky, how could it be possible? Oh, right! Where's that rascal? Why doesn't he get out of the car?"
Mr. Wu smiled bitterly and said, "When our convoy passed Laoshan, he sent people to eliminate the White Party spies lurking in the mountain, but they hadn't arrived yet. You don't know! The Military and Central Bureau of Investigation sent spies to hunt us all the way."
Director Li smiled and said, "Commander Chen said that with his apprentice protecting you, you will be absolutely safe."
Mr. Wu nodded and said, "Indeed! Let's go! Let's get in the car and go to Yangjialing."
Brigade Commander Chen said hurriedly, "Please get in the car. I'll wait a little longer."
Director Li echoed, "I'll wait for General Chu too."
Mr. Wu smiled and said, "Then I'll wait a while, there's no rush!"
Brigade Commander Chen said to Liu Zhengxiong, who was standing solemnly beside the jeep:
"Xiao Liuzi! Go check outside the sentry post and wait for Xiang Chu to come. Tell him to play the role of Chu Xi well and not show his true emotions. With so many young people here, there's no guarantee there aren't spies among them."
Liu Zhengxiong said respectfully: "Yes!"
After saying this, he turned and ran out of the inspection post.
Director Li sighed, "Old Chen! Your apprentice has been bouncing around for years. He's an aide-de-camp to Lord Chu in Chongqing, holding the title of General. He's also the director of the Japanese shadowy agency, holding the rank of Grand General. He's also a supervisory officer in the Wang Puppet regime. How did he get by?"
Brigadier General Chen sneered, "He relied on his handsome face to deceive so many women. When he comes over, I will definitely deal with him."
Mr. Wu shook his head and said, "You still want to beat him to death? Can you beat him?"
Director Li scoffed, "Don't forget! We told you to salute him."
Brigade Commander Chen said arrogantly, "I will absolutely not salute him. I will kill him."
The head of the security department ran over and reported loudly: "Commander! General Chu is here."
"Really coming?!"
Brigade Commander Chen shouted, his voice trembling.
He rushed out of the inspection post like the wind, leaving Mr. Wu and Director Li looking at each other in surprise.
Director Li shook his head and said, "Old Chen only ran this fast when he was charging the Japanese."
Mr. Wu smiled and said, "It's understandable that seven or eight years have passed in the blink of an eye since we parted hastily at the Nanjing Tongfu Inn."
