Only then did Chen Baoxiang realize that cooperating with Wanhualou was a road of no return.
"Everyone, don't bully others too much."
Lu Changji's right index finger was on the trigger, and he repeated word for word: "You have to do it, you have to do it, you have to do it even if you don't. Boss Chen, I am a soldier, and there are so many military orders. Who dares to disobey? This time, I can only be aggrieved."
You belong to the Chen family!"
Chen Baoxiang had no choice but to hang his head again.
He was self-aware and could not fight against Lu Changji, let alone Wen Dujuan and Ling Yunzhu beside him.
Even if Gu Lanchun is willing to help, it will still be a fierce battle.
"That's it?"
Lu Changji observed his words and knew that Chen Baoxiang had surrendered and had to accept this result.
Gu Lanchun waved his hand, and the three people retreated quietly.
"Boss Chen, this is a last resort. If you want to assassinate Funakoshi, respectfully, respectfully, these guys who are a nest of snakes and rats, the safest way is to use explosives. But don't worry, the sacrifice you made for Jinan will be remembered forever.
history."
Chen Baoxiang was so distraught that he no longer expected honors and achievements. He just wanted to take his whole family and evacuate safely.
At the same time, there should be no flaws exposed for Bi Gong to discover.
"Boss Gu, I understand, I understand."
Gu Lanchun sent Chen Baoxiang out, and the two stood in front of the small door.
"Boss Chen, I'm really sorry. All actions of Wanhua Tower cannot be changed once decided by the sect leader. As Lu Changji said, military orders are like mountains, and they can be carried out as soon as they are issued. After this battle, I hope that we will all be safe and sound.
Jie Bo, reunite again."
She looked at Chen Baoxiang and put her finger on the door latch.
"Is what you are about to do a narrow escape from death and be quite dangerous?"
"I'm used to snatching food from a tiger's mouth and a narrow escape from death any day. However, you are not a soldier, so I shouldn't involve you in this."
For a moment, Chen Baoxiang wished he could transform into a unicorn armor, protect Gu Lanchun, survive the hail of bullets, and return safely.
"What else can I do for you?"
"I've done enough and I deserve it."
"Boss Gu, as long as I can do it, you will give me your orders. I will do whatever I want to do without any hesitation!"
Gu Lanchun looked at Chen Baoxiang, his exquisite eyes suddenly filled with tears.
"Thank you."
She stood on tiptoes and kissed Chen Baoxiang gently on the cheek.
Chen Baoxiang subconsciously reached out and wrapped his arms around Gu Lanchun's slim waist.
He knew that after this separation, they might never see each other again.
Everything Wanhualou does is like a knife licking blood, life and death are all in a matter of seconds.
"Let's go."
Gu Lanchun opened the door, but Chen Baoxiang could only let go.
He wanted to do more for Gu Lanchun, but unfortunately, he only had one person and one life. No matter what, he couldn't protect the woman he loved.
Gu Lanchun closed the door, and Chen Baoxiang's heart suddenly fell into the ice hole. He stood there blankly, with the word "death" filling his mind.
He slowly walked back to the rice shop, as if there were two stone locks tied to his feet, walking slower and slower, unable to drag him.
When they arrived at the rice shop, Bi Gong sat in the shop.
"Boss Chen, I just made some good tea. Come over and have a drink."
Bi Gong smiled and returned to his original appearance.
Chen Baoxiang sat down, his chest was so hard that it was difficult to breathe.
"Boss Chen, I have already made arrangements with the Shandong cuisine restaurants in the city. Each restaurant will serve two dishes, and they will never be the same. As long as it is Shandong cuisine, it will be ready. When the time comes, four tables will be put together.
What do you think of a 'Quanlu Banquet'?"
Chen Baoxiang nodded numbly. As long as he could remember, Jinan City had never held a "Quan Shandong Banquet", and no one had really experienced the wonderful taste of Shandong cuisine.
Even Chief Han has only eaten in a dozen Shandong cuisine restaurants alone. He has never been so generous as Bi Gong, who actually thought of entertaining Japanese friends with a "Quan Shandong Banquet".
"Boss Chen, Sister Mei from Peony Pavilion is here again. She charges too high a price and is worried about it. She came to find out my details first, for fear that I won't have the money to settle the bill. Alas, these madams from Fireworks and Willow Alley are all obsessed with money.
Go there and know money, money, money all day long!”
Chen Baoxiang drank a cup of tea and his mind finally became clearer.
"Uncle Bi, what time will we evacuate tomorrow?"
"If you leave before nine o'clock in the morning and come back after nine o'clock in the evening, it will be considered a good start."
"Okay, remember, you must follow Uncle Bi's instructions, leave on time, and come back on time."
Chen Baoxiang looked around and his eyes fell on the banner.
When the time comes, the dynamite packs are ignited, and the Japanese people watching the theater turn into roasted wild boar, and the rice shop turns into an oven. No matter how many Japanese come in, they will all be wiped out.
Wanhualou always has a thorough strategy when doing things.
The second round of explosive charges came to an end and once again dealt a fatal blow to the Japanese.
The Japanese suffered heavy losses. They should restrain themselves when trampling on the people of Jinan in the future, right?
"Boss Chen, my second brother went to pick up Mr. Funakoshi, and he asked me to express his gratitude. After knowing you for so long, he also knows that you are a person who can be trusted."
Chen Baoxiang wiped his face vigorously, regained his composure, and looked at Bi Gong's face.
"What else can I do?"
"No, no, it's already very good. My second brother said that after entertaining Mr. Funakoshi, I will definitely give you a big red envelope. Alas, these days, there are not many people who are truly worthy of trust. Boss Chen, we will be friends from now on.
Come and visit often and make a fortune together."
Someone ran in and reported to Bi Gong: "Everything has been arranged. Brothers have chosen the commanding heights and deployed full control. If there is any trouble here, shoot immediately. No one can escape."
Bi Gong laughed and followed the visitor out.
Chen Baoxiang drank another cup of tea, wandered to the backyard, entered the north room, and fell down on the bed.
He was extremely reluctant to part with it. After all, every brick and tile in this house had been built by him and Liu Yue'e, and it was stained with their sweat.
Once lost today, it will be gone forever.
Liu Yue'e came in and sat on the edge of the Kang with a smile.
"Master, I just came back, and people from several big restaurants took the initiative to say hello to me. Our Chen family will soon become the most respectable people in Jinan City. The older generation in heaven will definitely be happy if they know that we are getting better and better...
"
Chen Baoxiang didn't know what to say, so he could only say yes, which was perfunctory.
"The boss just made tea for Uncle Bi. He said that the Japanese also attach great importance to this banquet. When he opens a restaurant in the Grand View Garden, he will bring the Japanese there to support him. He knows that you are a smart man and a person who knows the current affairs is a hero.
The future is bright.”
Chen Baoxiang thought of the people in Wanhualou. They were all heroes in the world. They knew that there were tigers in the mountains, so they went to the tiger mountains.
Today, resisting Japan is the only way for China to get ahead. If you just bow your head and obey, and become a subjugated slave or a traitor, you will probably be the sinner of China.
Finally, Liu Yue'e sighed enough and went outside to wipe and clean.
Chen Baoxiang felt cold all over, pulled the quilt over him, curled up and fell asleep.
The only thing he couldn't bear to part with was Gu Lanchun.
If the Japs on the other side of Jingliu Weiliu were unprepared, Gu Lanchun would be able to complete the mission with overwhelming force and escape unscathed.
"God bless her, she will be fine, and the bullets will have eyes and go around her."
Chen Baoxiang drifted into sleep and seemed to have entered the cheongsam shop again, watching Gu Lanchun and the others having a meeting.
"I will die for you, and I will bear all dangers. Don't worry, as long as I am still alive, I will do my best to protect you and keep you safe."
These were the words he didn't have time to say at the back door of the cheongsam shop. In that situation, he held Gu Lanchun's slender waist, and the blood in his body had frozen. He wished he could freeze time and never move forward again.
"Boss Chen, Boss Chen..."
Someone shouted as he walked into the north room.
Chen Baoxiang opened his eyes and saw Yu Shutong's seemingly loyal but actually cunning face.
"Boss Chen, why did you fall asleep in the middle of the day? My people are outside. Come with me."
Chen Baoxiang was puzzled as to what Yu Shutong wanted to do.
He sat up and shook his head vigorously, but his mind seemed to be filled with paste and he couldn't think of anything.
"Take me to a cheongsam shop. I don't believe it anymore. I've been there so many times and can't even catch a single person. Leave now. Those rebels must still be there!"
Yu Shutong fiercely slapped the pistol on his waist.
"What?"
"Damn it, Lao Chen, take me to Yuqian Cheongsam Shop to arrest people now. I don't believe it. These people have three heads and six arms. You can't catch them no matter what!"
Two people came in, grabbed Chen Baoxiang, and stumbled out.
After exiting the back door of the rice shop, Chen Baoxiang finally came to his senses, threw away the two people, and walked forward on his own.
This time, Yu Shutong came with a total of ten people, all of whom had short guns on their waists and looked menacing.
"You take two people to the front door of the cheongsam shop, and I will take the rest of the people and block the back door. No matter who is hiding inside, they must be in my hands."
Yu Shutong grabbed Chen Baoxiang by the collar of his coat and ordered fiercely.
Chen Baoxiang finally came to his senses. After going to Furong Street, he led the two of them to the front door of the cheongsam shop and then opened the door and went in.
A waiter came up to stop him. The man behind Chen Baoxiang showed his pistol and forced the waiter and tailor back.
"Let's go to the back and look for people in every room. Don't leave any room alone..."
Chen Baoxiang was pushed by the two people, passed through the counter, and went to the backyard. He started searching from the west wing and quickly looked around.
Unfortunately, the room was empty, not a single person was around.
"How come there's no one?"
The two people were also stunned and had no choice but to take Chen Baoxiang to the back garden and open the small door.
Yu Shutong and others broke in, and the two met together.
"No one? How could there be no one? Boss Chen, you come here often, are you in contact with the rebel party?"
Chen Baoxiang calmed down and responded with a wry smile: "There are no rebels. They are all laborers hired by cheongsam shops to help load and unload cloth. Those people can eat a big bowl of rice, one meat and one vegetarian dish, just like the wind blows.
Eating it all in the blink of an eye..."
Although he didn't know where Gu Lanchun had gone, it was the most gratifying thing that there was no one there now.
The sun shone slantly, casting everyone's shadows on the bluestone.
Those shadows glowed with a faint cold light, just like the pistol in the spy's hand.
Yu Shutong sat on the steps, lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly shouted: "Old Chen, tell me the damn truth, are there any ghosts in this cheongsam shop? These people I brought here are all emperors."
They can't even catch the main force among the military spies, let alone the others!"
