The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 361 A Boat

"Master Du, thank you for your mediation! Otherwise, my brother would be in trouble."

Jiang Cheng also put on a smile and spoke in a slow tone.

He did not intend to have a deep conversation with the other party, because any discerning person could see that if the other party just wanted to send his students back, they could just find a well-known leader. Why would they need to send out a figure like Du Yuesheng?

Talk about cooperation? Not likely.

"Master Jiang, can you please lend me a hand to talk?"

Just when Jiang Cheng's eyes flickered and he was about to avoid it, Du Yuesheng took the initiative and gestured towards the rest area under the terrace in the distance.

Turning around to look at Ye Hai and the Zhang brothers who were chasing after them, Jiang Cheng made a "look at this drunk" gesture, straightened his coat, and walked side by side with Du Yuesheng.

After all, it was one of the most luxurious hotels in Shanghai, and the receptionists at the front desk were quite discerning - they made way for the two of them and put up the awning on the terrace.

Jiang Cheng took out a tip and threw it over, his eyes fixed on the white-sailed wooden boat on the Huangpu River, but his peripheral vision always stayed on the gangster boss beside him.

He was well aware that this man was far more dangerous than Huang Jinrong, the now-recognized "Emperor of Jianghu" in Shanghai.

"Master Jiang, I won't say any more. Young Master Zhang has offended someone he shouldn't have offended... Fortunately, Boss Huang helped coordinate the matter so that it was resolved peacefully."

Du Yuesheng spoke briefly and to the point, and did not seem to want to flatter him. He quickly changed the subject, "Mr. Jiang, it would be an offense if you asked me to say something."

"Boss Huang conducted an in-depth investigation into the people who tried to assassinate you and discovered that in addition to the Japanese, there seemed to be one of your own people leading the way!"

"Moreover, as far as I know, there was a shooting at the station on the day you arrived in Shanghai, Mr. Jiang... It seemed that the shooting was also directed at you."

After hearing what he said, Jiang Cheng finally confirmed what he was thinking.

The gunman's attire was similar to that of the assassin - even more interestingly, the man who was shot was also similar in height, build, appearance and attire to himself.

He turned his gaze back at him, and at this moment, the other person's eyes happened to meet his.

"Are you saying this to me, Jiang Cheng?"

In fact, he had always been suspicious: because he was almost poisoned when he first arrived in Shanghai.

Assuming there was no traitor guiding the way, how could the Japanese have deployed so carefully and at such a fast speed?

"Why do you have to play this riddle with me?"

Du Yuesheng lowered his eyebrows and smiled faintly, still changing the subject without leaving a trace, "But this is also said out of our private friendship..."

"Let's get down to business - Boss Huang sent Mr. Zhang Pingan back today because he wanted to cooperate with you in Jilin."

"In the future, we will work together for great things."

Jiang Cheng stared back at him in a trance... Similarly, the gangster boss also stared back at him with the same eyes.

"Then what else is there to talk about?"

Jiang Cheng stretched out his right hand and shook it tightly, "From now on, we are in the same boat."

…………

They originally planned to buy train tickets to the north, but in order to express his sincerity, Huang Jinrong actually arranged one of his boats to send Jiang Cheng and his party back to Tianjin.

As the sun sets, standing on the spacious and clean deck and shaking a glass of fine wine is really a unique feeling.

"These bunch of Shanghai tycoons are so rich that no one knows how wealthy they are! Damn, if I could get a boat like this, my life wouldn't be lived in vain!" Xuecheng stood at the bow of the boat, gazing at the vast estuary of the Huangpu River with a look of enjoyment in his eyes, as if he were already a Shanghai gangster or a governor of a province in the Northeast.

"He arranged this boat for us, isn't it just to tell us that the Qing Gang has connections along the Yangtze River and the seaport?"

Zhang Tingshu seemed to have not heard his words at all. He leaned against the railing of the plywood and scanned the entire boat with a cold gaze.

Wherever he passed, he saw strong men wearing leg wraps and dark blue short jackets.

"The Green Gang's power has not yet reached its peak."

Jiang Cheng didn't take it to heart at all and immediately turned the topic to Heilongjiang Province - in his mind, the most important thing was to protect the territory.

In the future, when cooperating with foreigners, the assistance of these gangs is indeed indispensable, but even without rotten eggs, Jiang Cheng can still make trough cakes.

"I don't think there's any need to worry too much about the situation on the front line. No matter how powerful Bao Guiqing is, he only has two generals, Yingshun and Xu Lanzhou—"

"The combined strength of the two of you is only two brigades, plus the Bao family's troops... they don't have as many soldiers as you do."

Jiang Cheng drank the red wine in the glass goblet, shook his head and laughed a few times: "Don't underestimate the enemy. Don't forget the Russians..."

"Although they are probably just a group of people who are paid to do things, don't underestimate them. By the way, I sent a telegram to Tianjin. The military train will be on standby at the station after we arrive in Tianjin!"

The Qing Gang’s ships could only take them to Tianjin Port...their ships could not go all the way north to the ports in the northeast.

So if they wanted to return to Fengtian, they had to change to a military train in Tianjin.

Tianjin is a trading port city where Britain and France both have ports.

Due to the recent tense relations within the country, not many merchant ships from various countries docked here. They originally thought that they would have to stay in Tianjin Port for at least one day, but unexpectedly, passing through the customs and entering the city was extremely smooth, and they arrived at Tianjin Railway Station that night.

At this time, the Green Gang members had not left yet, and Du Yuesheng arranged for his men to escort Jiang Cheng safely onto the military train and then return.

"Hey, I suggest you let the Green Gang members leave quickly. They make us look like gangsters..."

In the special waiting room of the train station, Zhang Tingshu stretched his head to look at the men on the platform, "My goodness, look at how noisy they are..."

"If you don't know, you might think some important person has come. This will only attract more attention!"

Jiang Cheng also knew about this and deliberately told A Jin, the leader, about this.

But people said, "If you don't listen to Master Du, you will be punished", so Master Jiang, please don't make things difficult for us.

"They will check everyone walking back and forth on the platform. If we piss off the Zhi army, it will be difficult for us to leave!"

Ye Hai also stretched his head to look, "Master, how about... I go up and talk to him?"

Jiang Cheng slammed the book in his hand shut, then shook his head and said, "Forget it! The conductor also said that we can set off in more than an hour after the supplies are ready. Let's..."

Before he could finish his words, Xuecheng suddenly stood up with a look of surprise.

Several people looked at him questioningly at the same time, but the bastard hesitated and said, "Feilan, this, you, your wife!"

What?
Jiang Cheng, who was thinking about the situation in the Northeast, was suddenly startled and immediately looked in the direction Xuecheng was looking.

However, as soon as he cast his gaze over there, he stood up involuntarily.
