I carry a space ring: Travel back to 1939

Next, Gu Wenxuan asked Xiangzi to drive Hou Xinxin out of the city. Because they had the detective team's pass, the soldiers guarding the city did not make things difficult for them.

After sending Hou Xinxin out of the city, a carriage was waiting for her outside the city.

Hou Xinxin was sent directly to Yulong Temple by horse carriage.

When they arrived at Yulong Temple, Hou Xinxin presented Gu Wenxuan's letter.

Zhao Yulong took the letter and read it. It was from the boss Gu Wenxuan, asking him to send a few people to escort Hou Xinxin to Taihang Mountains.

Zhao Yulong's men have now expanded to seven or eight hundred people, living in several deep mountains and forests. They are tired of training every day.

Today, the boss arranged for them to escort a person through the Japanese war zone to the Taihang Mountains. Everyone was excited and raised their hands to escort Hou Xinxin.

It's a rare opportunity for them to get out, so they are really enthusiastic.

In the end, Zhao Yulong selected 18 people.

They were replaced by ordinary farmers who were still carrying their loads on their shoulders.

The carrying poles were filled with all kinds of agricultural products, just like ordinary farmers going to the market.

Of course, each of Zhao Yulong's 18 men has two box guns, so even if they encounter the Japanese army, they can fight with them.

Hou Xinxin dressed up as a juggler. He was a member of the Great Sage Sect and was very familiar with the juggling skills.

So the nineteen people set off.

Fortunately, the 19 of them had a smooth journey and no one paid any attention to them.

So the nineteen people returned to the headquarters of the Red Party’s Eighth Army.

The Red Party's Anti-Japanese Allied Forces had a brigade stationed in this place, with about six to seven thousand people. The brigade's main purpose was to protect the safety of the arsenal here.

Because the weapons produced by this arsenal were supplied to most of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces soldiers.

You must know that the Red Party's Anti-Japanese Allied Forces are now short of guns and bullets, and the arsenal bears a great responsibility for this.

Hou Xinxin returned to the coalition forces and went straight to meet their brigade commander.

The brigade commander’s surname is Chen, and his name is Chen Haotian.

Chen Haotian was reading documents in his office when he saw his guards bringing in a young, thin man.

Of course Chen Haotian didn’t know Hou Xinxin. After all, there were several thousand people in this brigade, and it was impossible for him to know everyone.

The guard reported to him:

"Brigade Commander, this person said he has important information to report to you. He is a member of the armed work team. This time he went to Peking with the head of the arsenal and got important information!"

When Chen Haotian heard that they were members of the armed work team, he realized it was no wonder that he was unfamiliar with them.

The armed work team was not under the control of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, but was a local armed force.

Chen Haotian waved his hand and let the guards go out.

"Comrade, please take a seat and tell me what kind of information you have obtained!"

Hou Xinxin was a little nervous when she met Brigade Commander Chen in person for the first time.

He sat down gently on a stool and said to Chen Haotian.

"Commander, this time I came to Peking with Commander Liu Ran from the Arsenal.

I went with Captain Zhao Zhenhai, mainly to protect the safety of Chief Liu Ran!"

Chen Haotian listened:

"Oh, I also know that you went to Peking with Lao Liu from the Arsenal this time. You probably went there to discuss the purchase of gunpowder. I don't know the details!"

Hou Xinxin continued:

"Our visit to Peking to discuss the purchase of gunpowder was very successful. The Peking merchant was willing to sell us 250 tons of gunpowder at a price of 1000 dollars per ton."

"Our Chief Liu Ran has also paid a deposit of 1 yuan, and he has agreed to trade the gunpowder in the suburbs three days later!"

"But after we left the merchant's house, we ran into the gendarmes on the street and were arrested by them and thrown into their jail!"

Chen Haotian frowned:

"Why did the Japanese military police arrest you and put you in jail? How did you get out?"

Hou Xinxin:

"Our entry into Beijing was originally a top secret matter.

But I don’t know if there was a traitor in our army, and they passed the news to the Japanese gendarmerie in Peiping.

The military police specifically arrest people who are missing a finger. Our Chief Liu Ran is missing one finger.

It was blown up when he was preparing explosives ten years ago.

Fortunately, the person who passed the information to the gendarmerie this time did not know the specific situation of Chief Liu Ran.

All we know is that the person who entered Beiping this time lost a finger, so the Japanese military police searched all over the streets for the person who was missing a finger! "

Chen Haotian said angrily:

"This spy is undercover in our Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, we must catch him.

However, this person only knows that Liu Ran has 9 fingers, but does not know his name, which means he is not someone close to Liu Ran, otherwise Liu Ran would be in great danger this time!"

Hou Xinxin said: "We have to thank Mr. Gu Wenxuan this time, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to get out of this Japanese military police prison!"

Chen Haotian: "Who is Gu Wenxuan?"

Hou Xinxin:

"He was the captain of the Peking Detective Team. We had been in jail together before, so I got to know him.

This person must be a very progressive person. Last time he sold us a lot of medicines, and he bought them on credit!"

Chen Haotian also knew about this.

But last time they didn’t reveal who sold them the drugs on credit. Who was it?

He said the only condition for buying something on credit was not to reveal his real name.

This time Hou Xinxin said it out without realizing it.

"So the man who sold us on credit is the captain of the Peking Detective Team. Why did he sell us so many drugs on credit? As the captain of the detective team, does he have so much money?"

"We don't know about that. Gu Wenxuan also has an army of his own. According to our understanding, there are at least several hundred people. You know, it must cost a lot to support so many people."

Chen Haotian was very surprised after hearing what Hou Xinxin said:

"He also has an army of several hundred men. Who is this detective captain?"

But Chen Haotian knew that supporting an army of several hundred people was not something that could be done simply by having money.

What is the purpose of this detective team captain named Gu Wenxuan?

And how could he have so much money? You have to know that he had to rack his brains to barely support his Red Party army of several thousand people.

Hou Xinxin shook her head.

“In fact, we have only met Gu Wenxuan two or three times, and we don’t know his true background.

But I only know that his family buys the four treasures of the study, which are pens, inkstones, paper, and inkstones!"

Chen Haotian held his forehead and said thoughtfully:

"Although these things make money, they definitely can't support an army of several hundred people!"

Hou Xinxin suddenly said:

“By the way, the gunpowder we bought in Peking this time was sold by a gang called the Brotherhood.

The gunpowder they sold was said to be fired from an underground warehouse more than ten meters deep.

It is said to have been discovered by Gu Wenxuan.

So they will give him half of the silver after selling it. According to the price we negotiated, he will get more than 10 yuan!"

Chen Haotian: "By the way, I haven't asked you about the origin of this gunpowder. You said he discovered it. What's going on?"

"It is said that this batch of gunpowder is from the Ming Dynasty. At that time, due to an earthquake and landslide, all the gunpowder depots were buried underground.

It was not until recently that they discovered this underground warehouse, and it was Gu Wenxuan who discovered it. "

The gunpowder of the Ming Dynasty is an antique. After hearing what Hou Xinxin said, Chen Haotian wanted to laugh.

"It's been more than 300 years. Is the gunpowder still usable?"

Hou Xinxin: "Commander Liu Ran has checked it. He said that it is not only usable, but also of really good quality. He is an expert in this area and he shouldn't be wrong!"

"By the way, after talking so much, we still haven't gotten to the point. What exactly is the information you sent back?"

Hou Xinxin slapped her head and said, "Commander, I am talking incoherently and even forgot the most important thing!

The information I brought back is that the Japanese Army's North China Expeditionary Force will organize a large-scale mopping-up operation tomorrow.

The main purpose is our Taihang Mountain area, so Commander Liu Ran asked me to come back and inform you to organize the anti-sweeping work!"
