Liu Richen said: "Okay! The Hongyuan has finally left the port! Good! Very good!"
Huang Hanhui said with a smile: "It's not easy. I didn't expect that it was actually done!"
Liu Richen said: "Chen Zifeng and those people must have boarded the ship, right?"
Lin Jiatai said: "I believe they must be on board! Otherwise, it would not be so quiet!"
Huang Hanhui said: "However, there are checkpoints everywhere along the way. They have to cross Wuhu to be safe!"
Luo Yushan, who had been standing at the door, watched them silently. Only then did she realize that the Hongyuan's departure from the port was not as simple as it seemed! People from the national army were already on board!
However, she also knows that there is nothing she can do now!
At this time, Liu Richen said with a smile: "Old Huang, you can arrange for me to go to northern Shaanxi. I estimate that it will take you a few more days. Maybe in these few days, I will know the news about the Hongyuan."
Huang Hanhui said: "Okay, I will make arrangements right away. It may indeed take a few days."
Luo Yushan immediately understood that the news that Lao Liu was going to northern Shaanxi should be a top secret among top secrets! She must not reveal it!

Also guarding Shiliupu Pier was Peng Shaoyong.
He hid in the darkness and kept watching the Hongyuan sail away from the dock.
He knew one thing in his heart. If the ship did not reach Wuhan, the mission would not be completed! It could only be said that he had finally accomplished this step! Damn it, it was just like Daoshan!
Afterwards, he took several brothers to the pawn lane.
The pawn lane was very quiet. Everyone in Chen Zifeng's group had left. Only a few brothers temporarily assigned to him by Peng Shaoyong were left here. These brothers also had another task, which was to guard Boss Zhang.
Peng Shaoyong went to the storeroom to see Boss Zhang and felt helpless. The famous Boss Zhang was not only tied up at the hands and feet, but also had a broken hat stuffed in his mouth!
The guard brother told him that if his mouth was not gagged, Boss Zhang would yell or kick the wall.
The guard brother asked in a low voice: "Sir, how long will he be detained?"
Peng Shaoyong thought for a while, "At least wait until the Hongyuan has passed Wuhu! Damn, that's it, you guys, be careful! Nothing can happen in these days! Let alone let him run away!"
29-33
Half an hour later, Peng Shaoyong returned to the police station.
As soon as he entered the door, Gu Yaozong, who was standing in the living room, asked loudly: "Brother Shao Yong, is the Hongyuan really gone?"
Peng Shaoyong nodded hard to him and Gong Binsheng next to him, "Sir, the Hongyuan has indeed left!"
Gu Yaozong and Gong Binsheng immediately laughed and turned around to high-five each other.
Gu Yaozong couldn't help shaking his head and sighed: "I have always been worried that Takahashi would see through it! Unexpectedly, we finally deceived him!"
Gong Binsheng said: "Sir Gu, everyone can see that you really want to keep Mr. Gao for two more days!"
Gu Yaozong laughed again, so unhappy.
However, after only a moment, he put away his smile and said softly: "Hongyuan, there is still a long way to go!"
Peng Shaoyong finally found a place where he could speak, "Yes, sir, the whole journey is about more than 800 kilometers. There are two major passes in the middle, one is Nanjing and the other is Wuhu! Only after passing Wuhu is it safe!
"
Gu Yaozong immediately said to him: "Brother Shao Yong, send a report to the headquarters saying that the Hongyuan has set sail! But the journey is difficult and dangerous. It is best to ask the headquarters to contact the navy and send warships to respond in the Wuhu area!"
He looked at Gong Binsheng and Peng Shaoyong, and then said: "We even sent the warships to cross Wuhu and rush to the Ma'anshan area to meet them! We have overcome ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, and we can't let the last tremor break!"
Peng Shaoyong said: "Yes, I will send a report to the headquarters right away!"
29-34
At this time, in the engine room of the Hongyuan, the roar of the engine was deafening, and the air was even more turbid and smelly.
The space in the coal bunker is small. It is already full of coal, and dozens of boxes of Hong Shankui and Cui Huai's goods are piled inside! If we count again, there are still more than twenty people crowded here! The air here is not only turbid, it is simply unpleasant.
People are suffocated!
The lights in the coal bunker were dim, and everyone sat in the dimness, with greasy sweat on their faces, as if they had just been fished out of a frying pan. They all endured silently.
At this time, the iron door suddenly opened, and the air floating in outside the door was also turbid, but it seemed like a breeze blowing in, making the people in the coal bunker take a long breath.
Chief Officer Zhang of the Hongyuan had a face full of anxiety. He squatted down next to Chen Zifeng and said uneasily: "Mr. Chen, we may be in trouble!"
Now is the most critical moment. What Chen Zifeng is most afraid of is that some accident will cause him to lose all his previous efforts!
He glared at First Officer Zhang fiercely and asked, "What's the matter!"
First Officer Zhang said: "Since we left the Huangpu River Estuary, there has been a Japanese gunboat following us! It's a gunboat!"
Chen Zifeng understood instantly that the cunning Takahashi was on guard! If the Hongyuan did not unload its cargo when it arrived in Nanjing, this gunboat would be enough to sink it!
The pain in his abdomen was unbearable, so he turned around and said, "An Thief, you and the top three go and have a look! Find out the situation!"
29-35
Xiao Ancheng and Yang Sanqiang followed Mate Zhang and walked through the cabin as secretly as possible. Finally, they walked out of a small iron door at the stern of the ship. They followed Mate Zhang's gesture and squatted in the corner, looking towards the stern of the ship.
The sky was as dark as ink, and there were only faint lights on both sides of the Yangtze River, moving slowly.
On the stern deck, a Japanese sentry was walking back and forth.
Xiao Ancheng took a clear look at his surroundings, then looked toward the river, and saw two navigation lights flashing behind the stern. He opened his eyes and looked carefully, and finally saw that it was a gunboat, only a hundred meters away from them.
It is several meters away and maintains the same speed as the Hongyuan. There is no doubt that this gunboat is following the Hongyuan!
There was a small group of Japanese soldiers on board the Hongyuan, and a gunboat was sent behind. Takahashi's move was an armed escort!
He looked back and Yang Sanqiang nodded to him, indicating that he had seen clearly.
29-36
They quickly returned to the engine room and told Chen Zifeng what they saw.
Chen Zifeng looked at First Officer Zhang, "Sir, where are we now?"
Mate Zhang replied: "We are almost arriving in Nantong."
Chen Zifeng asked again: "How many Japanese sentries are on the deck of Hongyuan now?"
Mate Zhang replied: "Four!"
He took out his notebook, drew the floor plan of the Hongyuan's deck, pointed and said: "One on the front deck, one in the cockpit, one on the rear deck, and another one guarding the passageway of the passenger cabin. The other Japanese soldiers were all in the passenger cabin.
Sleep in!"
Chen Zifeng nodded to Qiao Yanfang, "Please arrange it. Kill those in the cockpit first, and then kill those on the front and rear decks! Finally, gather all the brothers and kill all the sleeping soldiers! No need to leave any survivors! Remember, no shooting!"
"
Qiao Yanfang nodded, called the brothers together, and assigned tasks to them one by one.
Afterwards, they quietly left the engine room under the leadership of the chief mate.
29-37
In the cockpit, the captain and helmsman looked ahead and were controlling the Hongyuan's movement.
A Japanese soldier held a rifle in his arms and sat on a chair at the back, dozing off in a daze.
First Officer Zhang opened the door and entered the cockpit. As soon as he saw the appearance of the Japanese soldiers, he stepped aside.
Xiao Ancheng and Li San, who were following behind them, pounced like leopards and knocked down the Japanese soldier in one fell swoop. Then, the daggers in their hands stabbed into his body one after another!
The captain and helmsman looked at them in shock, their faces turned pale with fear.
Mate Zhang explained the situation to them in a low voice and told them not to panic.
Xiao Ancheng quickly exited the cockpit and gestured to the shadows below.
In just a moment, two black figures rushed out and rushed towards the sentry on the front deck. The gleaming dagger suddenly penetrated the sentry's back.
A few minutes later, the sentry on the rear deck was also eliminated!
Now, all the brothers quietly left the engine room. They made gestures to each other, silently climbed up the iron ladder, walked through the winding corridor, and gathered towards the passenger cabin.
But this Japanese sentry in the cabin corridor is guarding a key point. If you don't kill him, you won't be able to enter the cabin!
This time, Qiao Yanfang took action personally.
Wearing a thin skirt, she stretched into the corridor, looked around, and then turned her face to the Japanese sentry over there. She saw the sentry looking at her in surprise.
Then, she showed a coquettish smile to the sentry, twisted her slim waist and walked towards him.
The soldier looked at her with wide eyes, as if realizing that something good was about to happen, he even leaned his rifle against the wall and came towards Qiao Yanfang.
Qiao Yanfang walked over with her thin waist twisted and opened her arms to welcome him.
The sentry looked ecstatic and held her in his arms.
Qiao Yanfang put her left arm around his neck and pressed his face on her shoulder. While the guy was groping her, she pulled out the dagger from her lower back and stabbed him in the left rib.
The soldier struggled violently as if he had been electrocuted, but Qiao Yanfang hugged his neck tightly and was unable to free himself.
They fell to the ground at the same time. The brother behind him rushed over and stabbed his body with a dagger again!
Immediately afterwards, everyone rushed towards the cabin.
They rushed into each cabin separately. With the help of a little light in the corridor, when they saw someone on the bed, they would pounce on him, clamp his neck with one hand, or cover his mouth, pick up a dagger and stab him! If he still struggled,
, just add another knife!
Then they jumped up and rushed into the next cabin.
Qiao Yanfang stood in the corridor, supervising the entire situation. From time to time, she gave instructions to the brothers who had just rushed out, and then entered the next room. In the corridor, you could occasionally hear screams, fighting sounds, and the sound of fast running.
29-38
Gao Zongwu and Yuan Qinxin were awakened by these terrifying sounds.
Yuan Qinxin understood what had happened in an instant! The Hongyuan had been hijacked!
But the diplomat Gao Zongwu didn't quite understand. He muttered, put on his pajamas, and walked towards the door.
Yuan Qinxin could not dissuade him, nor could she appear alert. She could only watch him open the door and walk out.
