In the abandoned mine, Wei Ran temporarily stopped communicating with Young Master Cao and turned around and asked, "Squad leader, does Mr. Cao know the location of the camp?"

"Shouldn't know"

Tian Xiaohu replied, but his tone was inevitably a little unconfident. "But the camp is indeed in Cao Da's territory."

"When was that underground nest built?" Wei Ran asked immediately.

"summer"

Tian Xiaohu quickly continued to answer, "We dug a lot of nests in the summer and saved them for winter."

"I'm in a hurry"

As Wei Ran spoke, he spread the piece of canvas on the second young master Cao's chest, "Just three questions, tell me the answers, and you will survive, or I will hand you over to the eldest young master."

As he spoke, he asked without waiting for the other party's consent, "First question, where are we on this map?"

After a moment's hesitation, Master Cao came up with a Russian phrase, "rabbit hole."

"It seems you know this place too?" Wei Ran asked strangely in Russian.

"Is this the second question?"

"Are you sure you don't want to answer?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.

"Knowed it a long time ago"

Second Young Master Cao was particularly cheerful and replied in Russian, "In the mine you just went to, there is a lot of opium hidden in one of them, as well as some weapons and an escape route."

"What is it used for?"

"This was the first place where my brother secretly smoked opium."

Second Young Master Cao sneered, "Our father doesn't allow us to touch opium, so he can only hide here."

But I discovered it very early on. That brainless idiot even secretly engaged in the opium trafficking business under my instigation and made a lot of money. The opium he sold and his family property were also hidden here."

"Since you already knew, why didn't you..."

Halfway through the words, Wei Ran also reacted, "Are you raising pigs?"

Looking at Wei Ran in surprise, Master Cao nodded, "You are very smart."

"Your hand-drawn map doesn't point to true north, right?" Weiran suddenly changed the question.

After a moment of silence, Young Master Cao nodded unwillingly, "Take the northwest direction as the top direction."

"Second question"

Wei Ran switched back to his native language, "Does Shopkeeper Cao Da know the location of our camp?"

"I know, I've known it for a long time."

The second young master Cao also switched to Chinese, "These three forests, two ditches and eighteen water bubbles are my father's territory. There are many hunters like Hu Bazhi around to make water. In the summer, Zhao Jinshan led people to dig the land.

Nest, before the sod is shoveled clean, my dad will get the message."

"The third question"

Wei Ran smiled and switched back to Russian again, "Where do you come from, or what is your purpose in drawing this map?"

Before Young Master Cao could speak, Wei Ran had already stood up and said, "I'll answer after I think about it."

After saying that, he had already picked up the canvas map on the opponent's chest, "We have to send someone back immediately to report the situation and ask Captain Zhao and others to move immediately."

"You guys wait here, I'll go right away!" Tian Xiaohu said without even thinking.

"You are the squad leader, and you are the only one who knows the way. Nothing can happen to you." Wei Ran said, "So it's me..."

"I'd better go!"

Hu Bazhi said before Wei Ran could finish, "I know the way back, give me that big white mule, and I promise to deliver the news to Captain Zhao before the Japanese!"

"Otherwise, I'll go!" Zhao Jinyu also said, "I went to find my brother just to fight the Japanese!"

"I'm going!"

Miss Hongxia said indiscriminately, "Xiaohu, tell me where Captain Zhao is, I..."

"Stop fighting"

Tian Xiaohu gritted his teeth, "Brother Hu, please make a trip and make sure to bring the news! Then...then come back here. Even if we leave then, we will leave you a message."

"Sir... monitor, please be at ease!"

Hu Bazhi patted his chest to make a promise, and then he didn't waste any time. He sorted out the contents of the sack a little, put down all the things he didn't need, and then unhooked Young Master Cao from the big white mule's bag.

He tied it to another mule, immediately hugged the skis, led the big white mule and left the cold cave, and got back into the heavy goose feather snow flying in the sky.

Only when the other party's back could no longer be seen, Wei Ran closed the iron gate, and oil lamps were lit in the cave.

"Tell me where the young master's things are hidden."

Wei Ran squatted next to the second young master and asked. This bastard young master had just been guarded by the Sanba Gai with a bayonet held by Miss Hongxia.

"Go inside the mine tunnel, take the sixth fork on the left. After you get in, look to the right and there is a mine blocked by a broken basket head. All his treasures are inside." Young Master Cao ignored it.

His elder brother said while cursing vaguely.

"I'll go look for it!"

Zhao Jinyu said that he had already picked up the flashlight left by Hu Bazhi.

"I'll go with you!" Tian Xiaohu said, having already drawn the Nagant revolver from the second young master.

"Don't worry"

Wei Ran glanced at the young master whose face was full of cruelty and murderous intent, and continued to ask with a smile, "Where is the other exit of this mine?"

He also glanced at his brother not far away who was already gnashing his teeth with hatred. The second young master continued to answer, "The second fork on the right side of the mine road, go in and go to the end. There is a mine to the left. Go in and go to the end.

, there is a ladder going down, go down the ladder, go to the end, climb through a crack and you can see outside."

Having said this, the second young master looked at the eldest young master again, "From the moment you enter the fork, there are explosives hidden behind every corner. Don't go in with an oil lamp."

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Ran nodded towards Tian Xiaohu, who then called Zhao Jinyu and got into the low mine tunnel together.

"Miss Hongxia, please go to the entrance of the cave and keep an eye on it. Someone will come over and say hello." Wei Ran raised his head and said.

"I'm going right now!"

Miss Hongxia didn't doubt that he was there, so she walked to the entrance of the mine carrying the Sanba Gaigai, which she probably didn't know how to use, and looked out at the cracks in the boards that were not yet covered with snow.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the mine where there were only two captives, two wounded people and a certain veterinarian left, Wei Ran slowly lit a cigarette and stuffed it into the mouth of Young Master Cao.

, then he took out another cigarette, put it on the holder, held it in his mouth and lit it, then he changed to Russian and spoke again, "Now you can answer the question."

"I..."

"You don't have to say it," Wei Ran reminded nonchalantly, "This matter is not important."

Subconsciously he glanced at the eldest young master not far away. Knowing that he might not be able to escape, the second young master sighed and replied in Russian, "My mother is a fugitive noble from White Russia. After being caught by a wartai merchant,

Sold to my father at a high price as a dancer."

Hearing this, Wei Ran raised his eyebrows. This so-called "White Russia" was not the Belarus that was absolutely controlled by Father Lu in later generations, but the remnants of Tsarist Russia who were dubbed the "White Bandits".

"so what?"

Wei Ran asked after a moment of silence, "Is this the reason why you, your father and your brother are not of the same mind?"

"One heart?"

The second young master smiled and said, "In their eyes, I am just a bastard of a dancing girl. My good brother always wants to find an opportunity to kill me legitimately, so as not to compete with him for the family property."

"So you made this map yourself?"

Second Young Master Cao was silent for a while, then nodded, and gave an answer that pointed directly to the root cause, "I don't want to be killed by my brother, and I want to save my mother. She is old and may be killed by my father one day.

..So my only way is to become the leader of the bandits, or...to destroy my father's trump card."

"You know what I want to ask?" Wei Ran shook the canvas map in his hand.

"Kill my brother, and I will tell you the answer." Young Master Cao made a promise while avoiding the most important thing. "I promise that you will all survive, including that woman."

"Let me guess..."

After Wei Ran tried to spin the canvas map on his fingertips to no avail, he asked slowly, "Do you want the Anti-Japanese Alliance to join your mountain top, and then blame the boss Cao Da and the young master?"

"I like working with smart people"

Second Young Master Cao said as if he had a winning chance, "Hu Bazhi didn't have time to rush back to report the news. You have no choice. There was no exchange of fire except for a single shot. My father may have already reached an agreement with the Japanese. At this time, he must be carrying

They are preparing to surround Captain Zhao and the others."

"Are you sure you can get the Japanese to believe you? Are you sure you can get other gangsters to side with you?" Wei Ran asked pretending to be excited.

"The water is shallow this year, and the men on the mountain can't tell how many red cabinets they have."

As he spoke, the second young master Cao glanced at the mine, then at the eldest young master not far away, and directly changed into Chinese and said, "But we have money, and there is no one on the mountain who can't live with money.

If we include you people from the Anti-League, we will have money, people, and Xiangzi. It’s winter now, and whether it’s a gangster or a jumper, they have to find a place to stay in the winter.

As long as you, Captain Zhao, are willing to rely on my kiln to help destroy my father's four pillars, I can guarantee that the Japanese will never cause any trouble to you."

“Sounds quite tempting”

Wei Ran said, but he held his chin, lifted it, and with a crisp click, temporarily silenced him manually.

What the second young master said may be true, but it is by no means the whole story.
