Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

After dealing with Kenjiro Matsumoto, the Fuso ambassador to Linzhou.

Yan Shuangying set a fire in the embassy.

Then they climbed over the wall and evacuated as planned.

The fire at the embassy was so raging that it attracted the attention of the outer Guo patrol troops, who hurried to the Fuso Embassy.

At this time, the Fuso Embassy was already engulfed in flames.

The patrol captain, who was responsible for patrolling the perimeter of the embassy and protecting the safety of the Fuso Embassy, ​​sat on the ground with his legs limp.

"It's over. The Governor will never let me go."

"Captain, let's find a way to save them. There may be someone alive inside."

"Your grandma's legs, with such a big fire, even Sun Wukong would be burned to ashes. No, I have to find a way to escape, otherwise the governor will have to kill me."

On the other side, Liu Feihu and others quickly fled the scene after fighting with the guards from the embassy for a while.

When the remaining seven or eight people of the embassy guards rushed back to the embassy, ​​they were all dumbfounded when they saw the sea of ​​fire in front of them.

So many people were dispatched, but not only did they fail to rescue Ito Masao, their lair was also destroyed. How the hell is this going to work?

In the middle of the night, Guo Qicheng, who was still asleep, was awakened by a knock on the door.

Li Wenqi walked in with an anxious look on his face.

"Governor, something bad has happened. The Fuso Embassy was burned to the ground. The president of the Ito Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Ito Masao, was also assassinated. I have already sent people to the scene to deal with the aftermath."

Guo Qicheng was half-sitting on the bed and suddenly froze. After a moment, he didn't bother to put on his clothes. He jumped out of bed in his pajamas and barefoot.

"Are the soldiers patrolling the perimeter of the embassy dead? A full one or two hundred people can't even protect the embassy?"

Guo Qicheng roared hysterically.

Now the Fuso Empire is his last straw. With military aid yet to arrive, such a serious incident has occurred, which will undoubtedly make all his efforts during this period of time in vain.

Half an hour later, the captain of the special operations team of Linzhou Intelligence Bureau, who was responsible for investigating the matter, walked into Guo Qicheng's office.

"Governor, according to our investigation, this was a premeditated assassination. The enemy first attacked Mr. Ito Masao not far from the embassy. When we sent a part of the guards to support Mr. Ito Masao, the enemy bypassed our patrols and sneaked into the embassy, ​​killing all the embassy staff. Then they set the entire embassy on fire, burning it to ashes."

"There was no one alive in the entire embassy. We found Ambassador Matsumoto's charred body in his office."

Guo Qicheng sat on the sofa with an ugly look on his face, trembling all over, his face flushed red, and he even felt like he needed to take a heart pill.

After a while, Guo Qicheng stood up and said, "Investigate this for me! No matter who did this, I will make him pay the price. Also, kill the captain of the company responsible for protecting the Fuso Embassy!"

Li Wenqi frowned and thought for a moment, then added, "With such a well-planned plan, the other party must have stayed in Yong'an City for many days and checked the location in advance. The city gates were immediately blocked and no one was allowed to go out. The guards in the city immediately searched inns, hotels, and restaurants. These people should not have left Yong'an City yet."

After everyone left, Guo Qicheng picked up the ashtray on the coffee table and threw it to the ground viciously.

There is no need to think about this matter, it must have been done by the Northwest Revolutionary Army.

"Su Zhengyang, you little bastard, I will never forgive you!"

"Immediately send the Third Army south. I want to fight a decisive battle with the Northwest Revolutionary Army! It's either you or me!"

At this time, Guo Qicheng had obviously lost his mind. Li Wenqi frowned and thought again and again, but finally did not speak to persuade him.

In the base of the Northwest Intelligence Bureau in the city, Yan Shuangying frowned and ordered: "Martial law has been imposed in the city, and all suspicious persons are being checked."

"We can't get out in the short term. We should stay calm and keep a low profile during this period. Disguise ourselves as waiters in a restaurant. When the storm has passed, we can find a way to leave the city."

Over the next two days, Guo's security forces launched a large-scale search in the city. All merchants and civilians from other places would be arrested immediately if they could not produce anything to prove their identity.

For a time, people in the city were in panic, and the cells in the police station were overcrowded.

Inside the Dasanyuan Restaurant, a company commander of the Guo faction's guard unit swaggered in with several soldiers.

"Manager Liang, have you had any guests from other places staying at your restaurant these days?"

Liang Qing's heart moved, and he hurriedly greeted him with a humble attitude: "Captain Wang, you know that our restaurant only provides meals, not accommodation. There is no such thing as foreign merchants as you said."

Captain Wang gave Liang Qing a deep look and said, "I've received a report that a lot of unfamiliar guys have come to your restaurant recently. Take me to your backyard to have a look."

Liang Qing appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually starting to feel uneasy. Could it be that the chief and his men had really revealed their tracks and left clues at the scene?

"Captain Wang, please follow me."

Liang Qing brought Captain Wang to the backyard, where they ran into Yan Shuangying and another elite member of the Northwest Intelligence Bureau who were chopping firewood.

Captain Wang looked Yan Shuangying up and down, then looked at Liang Qing and said, "Why haven't I seen this fellow before? You know, Captain Wang often comes to Da Sanyuan Restaurant for dinner, but he has no impression of Yan Shuangying at all."

Liang Qing wiped the cold sweat from his head.

"Captain Wang, this is a distant relative of mine. He has no relatives or friends at home. He came to Yong'an City to seek refuge with me some time ago. Now he is helping with odd jobs in the store. He is an honest child."

Captain Wang looked at Yan Shuangying thoughtfully.

"Whether Manager Liang has any problems or not is not up to you or me. Someone take this man away and go back to investigate."

Liang Qing hurriedly took out 10 dollars from his pocket and quietly handed them to Captain Wang.

"Captain Wang, I've also heard about what happened in this city recently. If he is really caught and taken to the police station, even a good person can be imprisoned. This is my nephew. Please give me some face, and I will reward you handsomely later."

A greedy smile appeared on Company Commander Wang's face.

"10 dollars is like paying a beggar. I see your restaurant makes a lot of money every day. Give me 200 dollars and we'll let this matter go. Otherwise, I see your nephew is too fragile and tender. If he really goes to jail, it's hard to say whether he can come out in one piece."

"Okay, okay, I'll find a way to get it for you."

Liang Qing nodded and bowed, and after paying 200 yuan, he finally sent Captain Wang away.

Yan Shuangying frowned and asked, "What does this Captain Wang do?"

Liang Qing explained, "Director, this person is a greedy person. He has never paid for meals at our restaurant before. This time, he is probably trying to extort money from us."
