mountain chase

It has been three or four days since I met Sun Jianjun that day, and Nanjing City has been under the control of the Japanese army for a while now. Although the flow of people is still strictly controlled, it is much better than the previous two years.At the same time, most of the area north of the Yangtze River has been occupied by the Japanese army, and their escape after leaving Nanjing City-also appears to be crucial.

"Fourth Lord, Masaichi Yoshida asked someone to come over this morning to bring me a message, asking when we can ship the crude oil there." At around 10 am, Wang Dachuan had just returned from the outside.They no longer live in Jinyumantanglou—although the concealment there is strong enough, but the flow of people is too large, and the walls may have ears.

Today's place is a small courtyard in the old city of Nanjing. The courtyard is dilapidated, and black and gray traces of shells can still be seen on the outer wall.

"Oh." Covering the sun with his hands, Fourth Master Qiao was lying on a recliner in the backyard at the moment. He has been feeling less and less energetic lately, always falling asleep, and being semi-drowsy for most of the 24 hours a day.Qiaobo said that this is because the side effects of alternative drugs are becoming more and more obvious-in two or three years, he may be able to sleep to death directly. "Is the matter on the military commander's side settled?"

"Well, everything is almost ready." Wang Dachuan came over and pulled the blanket on the man's body up, his heart like a knife twisting: "Fourth Master, are you free now? I have something to ask you." He thought I need to talk to fourth master Qiao more, and hope that he won't sleep so long every day... It feels like - when fourth master Qiao is asleep, time flies by so fast, no matter how hard he tries, he can't catch her.

"I'm free, what's the matter?" Fourth Master Qiao closed his eyes half-closed. His spirit has become worse these days, but he is not so resistant to Wang Dachuan's approach.

"I just want to ask, I took Yoshida Masaichi to the chicken farm a few days ago, where did you get so much crude oil piled up there?"

"It's very simple. Only the barrel you gave him and the two rows in front are real, and the rest are empty barrels." Fourth Master Qiao said, "Since Yoshida Masaichi always sees you alone every time, , which means that he wants to take the credit in his arms, so it is naturally impossible to take away a large amount of crude oil at that time."

"That's it." Wang Dachuan deliberately spoke loudly.

"Are you that stupid?" Fourth Master Qiao probably could sense Wang Dachuan's intentions, so he smiled rarely.

"Hehe," Wang Dachuan smiled foolishly.And no longer speak.

——Although the small courtyard is very dilapidated, it would be great if the two of them could really live a peaceful life like this.

Two days later.

Just in time for the dance party of the April Cherry Blossom Festival of the Japanese soldiers.Although there are no cherry blossoms to be seen in Nanjing, the Japanese elites who live here still hold large and small banquets to celebrate the festival.

Wang Dachuan had explained to Masaichi Yoshida the day before that he would send the crude oil there in the dark that night.This Yoshida Masaichi also guessed as Fourth Master Qiao said, he didn't want others to take the credit - Wang Dachuan's move played into his hands.

But the bad thing is—Yoshida Zhengyi asked Wang Dachuan to bring Ms. Mei to the banquet.

"Fourth Master..." Wang Dachuan looked at Fourth Master Qiao who was standing in front of the mirror adjusting his collar with a bitter face, feeling helpless in his heart: "You should not go."

Fourth Master Qiao said flatly: "You and I know Yoshida Masaichi's thoughts. If you don't bring him there today, I guess your life can be directly confessed there."

"But... Noda Benichiro may also go on this occasion. In case he recognizes you—" Wang Dachuan paused suddenly: "Fourth Master, you were worried about me just now!"

Casting a blank look at Wang Dachuan, Fourth Master Qiao walked away flamboyantly on his small black high-heeled shoes.

The ball was held in the largest song and dance hall in Nanjing.It is about two streets away from the Japanese army's arsenal under the jurisdiction of Yoshida Masaichi, and there is only a wall separated from the crude oil storage place he designated.

Seven thirty.

In April, the city of Nanjing had already warmed up. Fourth Master Qiao was wearing a dark purple embroidered mandarin duck modified cheongsam with split ends and a black woolen trench coat. He walked into the ballroom holding Wang Dachuan's arm.

Most of the men in the hall were dressed in military uniforms and black evening dresses, while the women wore modified cheongsams or long skirts made of velvet, swaying gracefully.Amidst the shining lights and soft singing, the fragrance of the woman makes the whole atmosphere more ambiguous.

"There are so many people here." Wang Dachuan stretched his neck - he estimated that he would not be used to this kind of black bow tied around the neck of a polite gentleman in 800 years!

"Remember to act like one." Fourth Master Qiao smiled and took a glass of champagne from the waiter.

"Ah! Mr. Wang - hello!"

The two were talking, and Yoshida, who came out of the crowd, smiled and said, "When did you come?"

"I just came here too." Wang Dachuan smiled gentlemanly: "This is—"

"Oh! You are the beautiful Miss Mei—" Yoshida Masaichi interrupted him, bowing slightly, "I am Yoshida Masaichi, it is an honor to meet you."

"Mr. Yoshida, hello." Fourth Master Qiao nodded slightly.

"Miss Mei, we met last time. I don't know if you still remember me." Yoshida Shoichi said, "If the husband next to you doesn't mind, I would like to ask you to dance."

Fourth Master Qiao glanced at Wang Dachuan and smiled slightly: "I'm very happy."

After talking, the two went to the dance floor.

And Wang Dachuan also received a signal from the non-commissioned officer beside Yoshida Masaichi, wandered around the dance floor for half a circle, and went out through the back door.

At this time, the people on the Juntong side and Wang and Qiao's sides were also ready.Crude barrels are already loaded inside the truck.

After Wang Dachuan took the pass given by the non-commissioned officer, they set off for the arsenal.

Ten past eight.

Wang Dachuan and his party have already driven to the door of the warehouse next to the arsenal.At this time, the night was dark, and there were soldiers guarding the vicinity, and there were no idlers.

"Who is it!" The soldier at the warehouse door shouted when he saw a vehicle approaching.

"I came here to deliver things at the order of Captain Yoshida!" Wang Dachuan immediately opened the car door and ran down, showing the pass in his hand.

"It's so late to deliver the above things, you can't come during the day!" The man's tone was fierce.

"Oh, this military lord, we are just following orders. Who would know the meaning of this." Wang Dachuan smiled, and took advantage of the night to stuff a bag of things into the man's hand: "Your Excellency also has a lot of things. , don’t embarrass us servants.”

"Hmph!" The soldier secretly weighed the weight, and his tone softened: "Wait for us to check, you go in and fix it, then come out quickly, or be careful of your dog's life!"

"I know, I know." Wang Dachuan turned his head, waited for the soldiers to look casually, and then ordered the driver to drive the car into the gate.

After everyone entered the gate, they divided into three groups.One group began to carry the crude oil on the car down, and the other group carried it into the warehouse.When people entered the warehouse, one of the military commanders dug a small hole in the corner of the warehouse, put the pistol in his pocket in it, and buried it lightly.

"Hey! Are you all right?" After about ten minutes, the soldiers at the gate came over.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" Wang Dachuan pointed to the oil barrel next to him: "Master Jun, look at how many things we have - give us a little more time. Thank you."

"Really!" The soldier turned his head impatiently.

"I'm sorry." The person beside him who was carrying things also bowed and apologized.With a movement of his hand - as soon as the man walked away, his ID card was in his hand.

"Brother, I'm leaving!"

"Okay. Stay safe!"

Eight forty-six.

Wang Dachuan returned to the dance venue again.At this time, Fourth Master Qiao was sitting on the sofa in the east.Opposite him - is sitting Noda Benichiro!

"Mei'er!" Wang Dachuan's heart tightened, and he strode over: "Why are you here?"

"Honey." Fourth Master Qiao turned around and smiled sweetly, "What's the matter?"

"Oh, I've been looking for you for a long time." Wang Dachuan stretched out his hand to pull him up: "You haven't eaten all night, so come and eat something with me, be careful of stomach pain."

"Oh——" Noda Benichiro stood up, holding a rose in his hand, and he looked gentlemanly and elegant, with the determination of a soldier: "Sir, why did you get here? Take this young lady away? Wouldn't it be too disrespectful to me?"

"You are?" Wang Dachuan frowned, not knowing his appearance: "This lady is my fiancee."

"That's how it is." Noda Benichiro said, "I just think she looks like an old friend I know."

"Old man?" Wang Dachuan was puzzled, and turned to look at Fourth Master Qiao: "Mei'er, do you know this gentleman?"

Shake your head.Fourth Master Qiao lowered his head and said in a soft voice, "I've been living in Shanghai and only came back to Nanjing last year. I haven't seen this gentleman before."

"Noda-kun!"

Several people were talking, when Yoshida came over, he bowed his head respectfully to Noda Benichiro to show his respect: "Why are you here?"

"I'm also done with work. I heard that you held a dance here, so come here and relax." Noda Benichiro said, but his eyes were fixed on Qiao Siye: "I didn't want to, but I met this lady."

Seeing Noda's eyes, Yoshida Masaichi's heart sank a little. He didn't expect that Noda-kun would also take a fancy to this woman.But - it also shows that she is really a wonderful woman.

Although he is a subordinate, Yoshida Masaichi didn't want to give up this opportunity: "So that's it. Naqing allows me to introduce this—" His hand slightly gestured to Noda: "It's a samurai from our Imperial Japanese Army— - Noda-kun. And this one - he pointed to Wang Dachuan: "It's a businessman I met in China, and beside him is his fiancée, Ms. Mei. "

"That's it." Noda Benichiro squinted his eyes, he could see Yoshida-kun's thoughts on the lady across from him, but—is there really such a similar person in this world?

Noda Benichiro looked carefully at the woman across the way. His eyebrows and eyes were indeed similar to that man's, but it was just this temperament - he remembered the days when Fourth Master Qiao was imprisoned, the proud and noble eyes and the indifferent expression. The face is different from the soft woman in front of her eyes!not him!

However, even though it's not - but it's not impossible to get it here for fun.Noda squeezed the rose in his hand and thought happily.

Several people had their own thoughts, and suddenly, a soldier rushed in at the door, his body was covered in ashes and blood: "Captain, the back of the arsenal is on fire!"

"What!" Yoshida was furious!

Bowing his head, Fourth Master Qiao lowered his eyes—the soldier who reported the letter was a soldier sent by the military command to return from studying in Japan!
