Chapter 296: Oh no, Sister Xiuqin is in danger, hurry up and come with me! 1-word chapter!
As they were talking, there was a noise outside the door. Sanwazi immediately stood up and was about to open the door to see what was going on, but the door had already been opened. The monk and Duan Peng walked in with sweat on their faces. They picked up the teacups on the table and drank the tea in them. Sanwazi immediately stepped forward and filled their cups again. He stopped pouring water only after the two drank six cups in a row.
"Captain, we have been watching for a whole day and night, but we haven't found any opportunities. Zhu Ziming hid very well, and we didn't even see him. The devils protected him very tightly, and even sent out more than a squadron of troops. Those puppet soldiers guarding the perimeter were actually the devils in disguise. We almost got caught."
"Duan Peng and I originally planned to catch a spy, but after we found out that the puppet army was actually Japanese soldiers in disguise, we gave up the idea. We wanted to sneak into Zhu Ziming's residence through other means, but the Japanese spies were extremely cautious. They took care of everything from eating, drinking, and defecating to urinating, and didn't give us any chance at all. If we want to kill Zhu Ziming, we can only launch a violent attack, which will require at least a battalion of troops, which is simply not something we can do." The monk said worriedly.
Li Yunlong thought that Xu Zhongyi had concealed something before, but he didn't expect that the situation was more serious than Xu Zhongyi said. But if he gave up like this, Li Yunlong didn't want to lower his head. He had made up his mind when he came out this time that he would kill Zhu Ziming no matter how great the price. Now he has just encountered some difficulties and he backed down. If people knew about it, he would be laughed to death.
"Damn it, Zhu Ziming, that son of a bitch, has done too many bad things and is afraid that I will take action against him. Tomorrow I will go with you to take a look. Let's not leave in a hurry, but wait for an opportunity in secret. I don't believe that Zhu Ziming can hide forever. Let's wait for a few days to see if we can find an opportunity. We can also take this time to take a good look around Ping'an County and draw a city defense map of Ping'an County. Maybe it will be useful someday!"
No one had any objection to Li Yunlong's arrangement. Early the next morning, they secretly went to Zhu Ziming's residence. On the way, they met Zhao Xiuqin who was being interrogated by the detective team. Li Yunlong immediately stopped and when he saw two detectives in black leather clothes preparing to arrest Zhao Xiuqin, he immediately took his men to rush over.
"Heshang, Duan Peng, be quiet. We must not attract the attention of the Japanese. We must rescue Comrade Xiuqin as soon as possible!"
Under Li Yunlong's command, Heshang and Duan Peng quickly eliminated the two detectives. Li Yunlong also eliminated the team leader. Zhao Xiuqin saw that it was Li Yunlong who saved her, and asked with surprise, "Captain Li, why are you in the county town too?"
Li Yunlong did not answer Zhao Xiuqin's question, but took her to the new place, Fu'an Inn, and canceled the operation to monitor Zhu Ziming today. After confirming that it was safe, he asked seriously, "Sister Xiuqin, why did you come to Ping'an County?"
Zhao Xiuqin quickly replied: "Captain Li, I came to Ping'an County to collect intelligence according to the order of Political Commissar Zhao. The comrade who was responsible for protecting me was killed by the devils on the way, so I had to come alone to collect the intelligence!"
Hearing that it was Zhao Gang's order, Li Yunlong became even more curious. The Independent Regiment did not arrange any intelligence personnel in Ping'an County. Could it be that there was some hidden secret that he didn't know?
Perhaps seeing the curiosity on Li Yunlong's face, Zhao Xiuqin immediately said, "Captain Li, things are not as complicated as you think. The deputy commander of the Ping'an County Security Corps is a distant relative of mine. Political Commissar Zhao wants to use me to persuade him to defect. Thanks to our comrade who has infiltrated the Security Corps and is a battalion commander of the Security Corps, I am here to get the information he provided this time."
Although Zhao Xiuqin's words were a bit confusing, Li Yunlong still understood the meaning clearly. The comrades who had infiltrated the security group had obtained the secret information of the deputy head of the security group and wanted to pass it to Zhao Gang to better persuade the deputy head of the security group to defect. Li Yunlong repeated the situation and Zhao Xiuqin nodded repeatedly.
"Sister Xiuqin, it's better to be cautious about this matter. I will send someone to find out who this deputy commander is and give you the news tomorrow. You should stay in the inn today and don't go out. Ping'an County has been a bit chaotic these past two days. I think it has something to do with the Zhangjiazhuang market. A large number of merchants have gathered in Ping'an County. These merchants have a very close relationship with the devils. We must be careful!"
"My public identity is that I came to Ping'an County to purchase food and salt. In order to go to Zhangjiazhuang Market to buy sulfanilamide, I will have to inconvenience you, Sister Xiuqin. If you are questioned, your public identity will be my wife. This is how I registered my identity just now. I hope you will forgive me if I am offended!"
Zhao Xiuqin felt a little secretly happy in her heart, but pretended not to care and replied, "Captain Li's arrangements are very thoughtful. I was questioned by the detective team because of my identity. Fortunately, you saved me, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"
After settling Zhao Xiuqin, Li Yunlong went directly to Tianxiang Restaurant. He wanted to get some information from Xu Zhongyi. He felt a little uneasy in his heart, as he always felt that there was something wrong with the deputy commander. However, he couldn't tell what the problem was, so he had to find out from Xu Zhongyi.
Xu Zhongyi took Li Yunlong to the backyard and asked curiously, "Old Li, didn't you say you would only come to Ping'an County for three days? I thought you had already left the county, but I didn't expect you hadn't left yet. Could something big have happened again?"
Xu Zhongyi knew Li Yunlong's temper very well. He had already explained everything that needed to be explained last time. For safety reasons, the two would not meet again in a short time. But this time Li Yunlong suddenly came, and Zhu Ziming was safe and sound until now. Could it be that Li Yunlong wanted his help to kill Zhu Ziming?
"Old Li, if you ask me to use my manpower to help you kill Zhu Ziming, I can only say sorry. It's not that my old comrade-in-arms doesn't want to help you, but I'm really powerless in this matter. As soon as Zhu Ziming came to Ping'an County, I had planned to help you get rid of him, but I never found the opportunity!"
"Especially Hirata Kojiro, who came to Ping'an County these two days. I dare not take action. This man's nose is more sensitive than a dog's. He came to Ping'an County before and caused heavy damage to our underground organization. Now, unless it is absolutely necessary, I really don't want to provoke this man. After all, the headquarters arranged for me to sneak into Ping'an County, on the one hand, for intelligence collection, and on the other hand, to open up a safe channel for material transportation. These two things have achieved considerable results. I can't let Zhu Ziming ruin more than two years of hard work!"
"In the past two years, we have lost more than 100 intelligence personnel. The struggle here is also very fierce. We live cautiously on weekdays and have to greet the Japanese and puppet troops with a smile every day. If I hadn't accidentally contacted Ichiro Nakamura, the construction of the intelligence network and transportation line would not have been completed so quickly."
"But I'm not an unkind person. As long as it doesn't endanger the safety of the underground intelligence organization, I'll help you with some small favors if I can. But if it involves the safety of the underground intelligence network, don't blame me for rejecting you, Li Yunlong, regardless of our friendship as comrades!"
Li Yunlong knew that Xu Zhongyi was telling the truth. It was very difficult to establish an underground intelligence network. Ping'an County had achieved remarkable results before that. Even the brigade commander had praised Xu Zhongyi many times. Even Li Yunlong had benefited from it, so it was impossible for him to do something that would neglect the important for the sake of the trivial.
"Lao Xu, I won't use your power to assassinate Zhu Ziming. I have been watching Zhu Ziming in Ping'an County for two days, but I still haven't found an opportunity. I plan to stay for a few more days to see the situation. If there is really no opportunity, then I will leave Ping'an County again."
"This time I came to you to inquire whether it is possible to win over Zhou Yuanding, the battalion commander of the third battalion of the security regiment, and Xu Dashan, the deputy commander?" Li Yunlong asked with a serious face.
Xu Zhongyi immediately recalled the information of the two people in his mind, and said in a flat tone: "The origin of the Ping'an County Security Corps is not so mysterious. It is the original security corps. After the Japanese invaders arrived, the entire security corps directly surrendered to the Japanese invaders. It is precisely because of this that the original organization was retained. This group of people are not good people. It is possible that there are one or two good people among them, but most of them are real national scum."
"These people have done a lot of harm to the common people. They are even more cruel than the damn devils. Even if we kill them all, there is nothing to regret! Deputy Head Xu Dashan is even more sinister and cunning. He has eight concubines and is also engaged in the business of reselling supplies. I have dealt with him before and wanted to use his greed to help us transport a batch of supplies, but he actually had the idea of robbing his thieves. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and discovered his conspiracy in time. In addition, I had Nakamura Ichiro as my backer, so Xu Dashan didn't dare to attack me."
"As for the Third Battalion Commander Zhou Yuanding you mentioned, he is not an easy person to deal with. He is a bad guy. He has participated in most of Xu Dashan's businesses. He can be said to be Xu Dashan's confidant! If you want to instigate these two people, I advise you to give up this idea in advance. These two people are very close to Hirata Kojiro. Just yesterday, Hirata Kojiro met with them. I always feel that Hirata Kojiro came to Ping'an County this time to target your independent regiment."
"According to my understanding, it seems that Hirata Kojiro's brother, Hirata Ichiro, died at the hands of your independent regiment. He targeted your independent regiment in order to avenge his brother. More importantly, I learned from Nakamura Ichiro that Hirata Kojiro's uncle is General Tada Shun of the North China Front Command, a character who is not easy to mess with. This is why your independent regiment has been targeted by the devils. It's really because you killed their nephew, it would be strange if they would let your independent regiment go!"
