Chapter 12 Breaking the Vat and Walking the Flood Dragon
"Third brother, what are you doing here in broad daylight? Japanese plainclothes are everywhere. Are you looking for death?"
Chen Baoxiang laughed. Of course he understood that there were so many Japanese spies in the area from Xie Ma Road to the Old Commercial Port. Once they caught their eye, they would have to shed their skin even if they didn't die.
"I'm just passing by, come and take a look."
"Third brother, stop lying. I know you made a deal with the Master Gun Club."
Chen Baoxiang's expression remained unchanged. Even if he made a deal with Luo Hongying, it had nothing to do with Wu Yixiao.
The two of them walked to the end of the alley and got into a family's woodshed.
"Third brother, I bribed the cooks inside, and I roughly found out that there were thirty Japanese inside during the day, and fifteen at night. In the Xiema Road area, there are three teams of military police who usually patrol with guns, each team has eight people. Secret agents
There were at least fifteen people, all of whom were gunmen hired by the Japanese for a large sum of money."
Wu Yixiao took out a piece of paper with numbers densely written on it.
"The outer wall is two meters high and has barbed wire on it. The wall is one and a half feet thick and is made of adobe. The prisoners are all kept in the basement. There are six cells in total. The important ones are in separate cells, and the others are in mixed cells."
Wu Yixiao's clues were very complete. The underground traffic officer named Xu Huzi was held in solitary confinement and had not yet been sentenced.
"How can we save people?"
Wu Yixiao shook his head: "What I originally thought was too simple and wouldn't work at all. The Japanese are too shrewd, and they wouldn't be able to get in if they weren't the ones under Chief Han."
Chen Baoxiang did not hesitate and told his plan.
Wu Yixiao scratched his head: "Third brother, if you do this, the entire city will be alerted by the Japs, and they will surround Xiema Road. Those who save people and those who are saved will be destroyed!"
Chen Baoxiang thought of Luo Hongying's face and knew that he had no choice but to move forward.
"Find more people to ambush around Xie Ma Road and dig horse pits to slow down the enemy. After blowing up the wall to save people, quickly change clothes and leave the city, and go to Nanshan or Dafeng Mountain. In short, these are places where the Japanese dare not go...
…”
Chen Baoxiang's plan has been carefully considered and the steps are not messy at all.
The key is, can you find so many helpful friends in the world?
"Third brother, what do you mean, are you very interested in your friends from the Gunslingers Club?"
Chen Baoxiang ignored Wu Yixiao's teasing, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly asked a question: "What did the second sister say?"
"The second sister only wants to save Xu Huzi and doesn't care about anyone else. After rescuing, she immediately heads east and rushes to Yidu County, trying to dig out the gold before everyone else."
Chen Baoxiang frowned, people in Jianghu love gold, and when they see gold, nothing else can be tolerated.
The two chatted for a while in the woodshed, and the sound of chirping birds came from outside.
"Third brother, I made an appointment with a friend. If there is any news, I will contact you at the Fuxue Confucian Temple."
Chen Baoxiang left the woodshed, walked far around the Xie Ma Road, and immediately returned to the city.
Saving people is expensive, so four gold bars are just what you need.
He arrived near the Luoyuan Mansion on Ximen Street, stopped in the dark, and looked at the gray door of the mansion from a distance.
For people in Jinan, this is hell.
As many people enter, so many dead people have to be carried out.
Because of the existence of Luoyuan Mansion, many people dare not even walk on Ximen Street and can only walk around Daming Lake.
Chen Baoxiang thought to himself: "How many explosives will it take to send this place to the sky?"
Now, Luoyuan Mansion is like a thorn in his throat, he can't spit it out or swallow it.
"One day, let the little devil pay with blood!"
After passing Luoyuan Mansion, by some strange mistake, he did not continue eastward, but turned into Furong Street.
Here, he wants to see two people.
One is Liancheng Bi from Yuqian Cheongsam Shop, and the other is Luo Hongying who treated us last night.
Unfortunately, when he reached the middle of Furong Street, the cheongsam shop was not open, and there was no trace of Luo Hongying at the door of the restaurant.
He stopped and looked up at the seat where he had dinner last night.
Luo Hongying's pride and chivalry made him feel satisfied.
"Everyone in the Gunslingers Club is a hero!"
He admired it from the bottom of his heart and had to accept it.
Although Yu Shutong hesitated on the issue of rescuing people, it did not hinder Chen Baoxiang's admiration for him.
Jinan City is occupied by the Japanese, and those who dare to jump out and fight the Japanese at this moment are Chen Baoxiang's allies and companions.
While walking through Jinju Lane, Ye Tian heard someone on the roadside talking about Xin Mansion.
Originally, Xin Gongguan was a well-known family in Jinan with generations of rich people and benevolent virtues.
The Japanese entered the city and forced the Xin family to bow their heads.
Xin Jia Ning refused to bend, and his second and third generation descendants escaped from Jinan City and went to the south.
"Well done, the Xin family is good and has backbone..."
These words floated into Chen Baoxiang's ears, giving him confidence.
Jinan people are not cowards. Although the Japanese entered the city and were frightened by bayonets and wolf dogs, Jinan people would never give in.
When they arrived at the back door of the rice shop, before Chen Baoxiang could open the door, Mr. Mu came out of the darkness.
"Boss Chen, how is the person you entrusted to you?"
Chen Baoxiang could not tell the other party about the prison robbery, so he could only make up an excuse and get over it.
"Boss Chen, Gu Lanchun and Boss Gu are our national treasures in China! If the Japanese dare to kill her, they are just riding on the necks of Chinese people and shit... This is intolerable!"
Mr. Mu was very thin, but at this moment he clenched his fist and hit it hard on the wall. The fist was immediately bloody and bloody.
Chen Baoxiang quickly pulled him in and helped him wipe his wounds.
"Boss Chen, what does my injury mean? If the Japanese torture Gu Lanchun, how can she, a fragile woman... be able to withstand it?"
Chen Baoxiang's heart sank suddenly. He didn't want to prepare for the worst, but he also knew that some things could not be avoided.
"Master, master, someone is looking for you..."
Liu Yue'e came in from the front, followed by a fit young man.
Chen Baoxiang knew him. He was a disciple of Gu Lanchun. He had been here with his master last time.
"Boss Chen, I am from the theater troupe. Master has a letter for you and sent me to deliver it today."
Chen Baoxiang was stunned, took the letter from the young man's hand, pondered for a moment, and put it into his arms first.
"Boss Chen, the master said that if he has three strengths and two weaknesses, we will not be able to eat, so we come here to beg you."
"Okay, don't worry, the rice shop is open every day. You can come and eat at any time. The food will be hot and free of charge."
The young man cupped his fists and cupped his hands, bowed deeply, and turned to leave.
"Boss Chen, why did Boss Gu write to you? But not to me?"
Mr. Mu shouted, feeling unwilling and his face changed drastically.
Chen Baoxiang sent Mr. Mu out first, and then opened the letter.
"Five years ago, I was expelled by Chief Han and fell down by Liu's Spring. Fortunately, I received your help. I had three meals and warm meals, and you took care of me. Today I came to help you, but I didn't dare to recognize you. If you are lucky enough to escape, I will repay you with the spring."
This letter has no beginning or end. Chen Baoxiang read it three times before he roughly understood it.
"Gu Lanchun was arrested. Is there another hidden secret? What does she want to do? Is it also for a thousand taels of gold?"
Chen Baoxiang put the letter away and paced back and forth in the yard, thinking hard.
He remembered that he did save the opera master and apprentice five years ago.
Not only did he take care of the food and clothing, but he also gave me the food and clothing before leaving.
The two offended Chief Han and did not dare to perform in Jinan, so they had no choice but to leave.
"Plum Blossom Mansion, Plum Blossom Mansion..."
Now, Chen Baoxiang only has these four characters in his mind.
Even if it was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, Chen Baoxiang decided to risk his life and try it.
"The reason I keep this life is to kill the Japs. If I don't kill those naughty little Japs, why the hell are they still alive -"
