Despite being full of reluctance, Jiang Nan and Xu Rui separated two days later.
Jiangnan couldn't even see Xu Rui off, because on the morning of the third day, Hatota Kan hurried to Chenghu with a group of people from the Nanjing secret service. With the help of the local maintenance committee and the puppet army, he attacked Chenghu
A carpet-like search was launched on the water surface, and Jiang Nan, as the Japanese translator, also went with him.
While Jiang Nan was busy translating for the Japanese and the traitors who maintained the meeting in Chenghu, Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng boarded the barge hired by Takenodaji and went to Nanjing along the canal.
In order to save money, Takenodaiso did not hire a tugboat, but hired dozens of trackers to pull the fiber.
Although hiring trackers saves money, the journey is extremely slow. It takes four days to walk from Suzhou to Zhenjiang.
However, after arriving in Zhenjiang, barges loaded with equipment can no longer go north along the canal and must instead go along the Yangtze River. At this time, the trackers have no way to pull the fiber and can only hire tugboats.
Takenodaiso paid a high price to hire a tugboat from a shipping company in Zhenjiang.
This shipping company in Zhenjiang is also run by a Japanese, and it obviously has a military background, but this is normal. A hugely profitable industry like the shipping industry would not be able to operate at all without a military background.
The medium-sized tugboat hired by Takenoda Iso also has a very famous name, Yamato Maru!
Also coming with the tugboat Yamato Maru were two Japanese military police and a group of puppet troops.
With these two Japanese gendarmes and puppet troops, they were never interrogated by Japanese patrol boats along the way. This was in sharp contrast to when walking through the canal. When walking through the canal, in addition to checkpoints, there were forks and forks at every turn.
There will also be patrol boats for interrogation, and every time they will be given a favor before they are allowed to go, even if Takenoda Iso is Japanese, it will be of no use to him.
However, after hiring the shipping company's tugboat, the journey was smooth, which made Takenodaji feel that it was worth the money. The sky-high rent paid to the shipping company was not in vain.
The towing speed of the tugboat was much faster than that of the trackers. In just half a day, Jiangxin Island could be seen in the distance.
Judging from the time, it had been seven days since Lei Xiang left Suzhou. Lei Xiang should have sent the news back to the base, and Wang Husheng should have been ready. Soon, a small boat appeared in Xu Rui's field of vision.
Standing at the bow of the boat is Xiao Taohong dressed as a boat girl, and the old woman rocking the oar at the stern is Granny Yinhua, right?
When Xiao Taohong saw it was Xu Rui, a happy look flashed across Baozi's face. She immediately lifted the bamboo hat on her head, revealing a happy and angry little Baozi face. The two Japanese soldiers standing on the bow of the tugboat watching the scenery could see clearly.
After seeing Xiao Taohong's appearance, he immediately sent out two whistles and ordered the driver to move the tugboat over.
Xu Rui also followed suit and said, "Flower girl, her ass is big and beautiful!"
The two Japanese military policemen laughed loudly and gave Xu Rui thumbs up repeatedly, praising Xu Rui for his good vision. Although they only got along for half a day, Xu Rui and the two Japanese military policemen already talked about everything. Just now
They were talking about women, and they met Xiao Taohong, a pretty boat girl.
The two Japanese military policemen immediately became lustful and ordered the driver to turn around and catch up.
As soon as the tugboat turned around, Takenoda Iso on the barge immediately noticed it and hurriedly came out of the cabin to ask what happened. Xu Rui told him not to be nervous. Takenoda Iso did not dare to say anything more. Now the two Japanese military policemen
He became more and more energetic and urged the tugboat driver to increase his power to chase Xiao Taohong's fishing boat.
Xiao Taohong and Granny Yinhua rowed the fishing boat very fast and entered Jiangxinzhou from the side road.
Just when the two Japanese military policemen were feeling disappointed, more than a dozen fishing boats suddenly emerged from the reed swamps beside Jiangxin Island, immediately surrounding the tugboats that had begun to slow down.
And those standing on the bows of these dozen fishing boats were Sai Hongfu, Han Feng and a dozen other Langya. Before the two Japanese military policemen could react, Sai Hongfu, Han Feng and a dozen other Langya were there.
He took action like lightning, and in an instant, crossbows, flying stones and other hidden weapons flew onto the tugboat, killing the two Japanese military policemen on the spot.
When the remaining dozen puppet soldiers saw this, they were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.
Without firing a shot, the Langya Squadron took control of the tugboat and barge. Takenoda Iso, a dozen puppet troops and the driver of the tugboat were also controlled. In order to prevent the Japanese patrol boats patrolling the river from discovering abnormalities, Xu Rui personally drove
The tugboat towed the barge loaded with equipment into the river bend on the back of Jiangxinzhou and took cover.
After doing all this, Xu Rui took the blood from the two Japanese military policemen who were shot and smeared it on himself.
Sai Hongfu came up with Xiao Taohong, happened to see this scene, and joked: "Hey, are you going to sing an opera?"
"Singing an opera?" Xu Rui chuckled and said, "It's true, I'm really ready to sing a good opera. Xiao Taohong, come here quickly and lend a hand. Help me paint my back."
Xiao Taohong came over without thinking and helped Xu Rui wipe the blood on his body.
While wiping the blood, Xu Rui asked Sai Hongfu: "Xiaobai, where is Lao Wang?"
Sai Hongfu said: "The political commissar and the civilian team are lurking under the Prince's Mountain opposite."
Xu Rui asked again: "There are so many of you, didn't you expose your target on the way here?"
"No." Sai Hongfu said, "We came here disguised as refugees. From Meizhen to Pukou, all the way from Meizhen to Pukou were refugees from the north. No one suspected us at all."
As he spoke, Xu Rui's body was already covered in blood.
"Okay." Xu Rui finally wiped two handfuls of blood on his face and said to Sai Hongfu, "Take me into the cabin and lock me up with the Japanese. By the way, you'd better give me two whips."
.”
Sai Hongfu said: "How can you sing this?"
Leng Tiefeng next to him also looked confused. What kind of fuss is going on?
Xu Rui said cheerfully: "It's nothing, I just want to make the next casual move. It's of no use now, but it may be useful in the future."
Sai Hongfu shook her head, and then she used the long whip in her hand to shine two whips on Xu Rui's body. Xu Rui grinned and said nothing, but Xiao Taohong felt extremely distressed and complained: "Sister, you are so whipped."
Sai Hongfu said angrily, "You can't blame me for this. He asked me to smoke it."
Xiao Taohong said: "You can't really smoke it, just give it a try."
Xu Rui advised, "Xiao Taohong, it's okay. Just these few whips are not enough to scratch my itch."
"I know you're thick-skinned, okay?" Sai Hong rolled her eyes at Xu Rui and pushed him into the cabin of the barge.
In a cabin of the barge, when Takenoda Iso was at a loss, the cabin door was suddenly opened, and Nishimura, who was covered in blood, was pushed in and fell to the ground.
After Nishimura fell in, the hatch was slammed shut again.
Because Takenoda Iso's hands and feet were tied up, he could only move over on his buttocks.
Takenodaji moved in front of Xu Rui and asked in a low voice: "Nishimura-san, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Xu Rui pretended to be in pain, gasped, and then said, "I just received a few whips."
Takenoda Iso let out a long sigh and said with a sad face: "Nishimura-san, what's going on? Why did you run into Chinese militants after everything was going well?"
Xu Rui said: "There is nothing we can do about it."
Takenoda Iso added: "What should we do now?"
So far, Takenoda Iso is not worried about his equipment. Although the equipment is valuable, he can still afford to lose it, but he only has one life. If his life is gone, nothing will be lost.
Xu Rui rolled his eyes and whispered: "Zhuye Sang, don't worry, I have a way."
"What can you do?" Takenodaji looked at Xu Rui who was tied into a human-shaped rice dumpling, shook his head and said, "What can you do?"
Xu Rui chuckled and then stuck out his tongue from his mouth. Takenodaji looked closely and saw a sharp blade on the tip of Xu Rui's tongue! Xu Rui just showed the blade and then quickly retracted it.
, and then lowered his voice and said to Takenoda Iso: "When it gets dark, we will find a way to escape."
Takenoda Iso nodded heavily and gained the confidence to escape.
What followed was a long wait, and the sky gradually darkened after a few hours.
Then people kept coming on the boat and moving things down. Although he couldn't see the movement outside, Takenoda Iso could guess with his toes that it must be Chinese people moving down his cement factory equipment. He thought
He bought all these equipment from the Germans at a high price, and Takenoda Iso's heart began to bleed.
But now, Takenodaiso no longer has the extravagant hope of regaining the equipment.
As long as he can save his life this time, Takenoda Iso will be very satisfied.
Time passed slowly in the maddening waiting. Takenodaiso was hungry, tired and scared. He didn’t know how long it had been before he fell asleep. Suddenly, an inaudible cry sounded in his ears: Takeno
mulberry!
Takenoda Iso opened his eyes blankly and saw Kojiro Nishimura moving in front of him at some point.
"Takeno-san," Nishimura said, "turn around quickly and face away from me. I'll help you cut the rope on your hand first. Quick."
Takenoda Iso quickly turned around, and then he felt Nishimura bite the blade with his mouth, and began to cut the rope on his wrist. After cutting for about half a minute, Takenoda Iso suddenly felt his wrist loosen, and his hands regained their freedom.
After being freed, Takenodaiso quickly took the blade, first cut off the rope around his ankle, and then untied Nishimura.
Takenoda Iso rubbed his wrists that were a little numb from being tied up twice, and whispered: "Nishimura-san, if I can escape this time, you are my benefactor, and I will definitely thank you heavily."
Xu Rui said: "Zhuye Sang, you are too outspoken to say that."
"Hai." Takenoda Iso paused and said, "What should we do now?"
"Wait." Xu Rui said in a deep voice, "When all the Chinese people fall asleep, let's break open the window and escape!"
As soon as he finished speaking, heavy footsteps suddenly sounded outside the cabin, and then a voice said: "Where are the two Japanese?"
Takenoda Iso could barely understand Chinese. When he heard this, his heart immediately jumped, and then another Chinese voice sounded: "They are all in there."
