The commander of the 8th Mixed Brigade of the puppet army was just at the right level.
Although this traitor is a good-for-nothing, he still cares a lot about his dad and sister.
When he learned that a Route Army soldier had moved into his house and was having an intimate relationship with a girl, he became extremely anxious.
However, he did not return to Chengjia Town with his army in a high-profile manner. Instead, he only brought a guard squad of a dozen people and returned home quietly.
However, the fact that there are few people doesn't mean that the degree has good intentions.
This traitor just relied on his own skills and didn't take two Eighth Route Army soldiers seriously.
As soon as he got home, Dudu began to make arrangements: "Akui, you take the brothers to ambush in the east and west wing rooms. As soon as the two Eighth Route Army soldiers enter the yard, you rush out immediately to block them."
"Then I'll smash the cup as a signal, and you'll immediately shoot those two Eighth Route Army soldiers to death."
This traitor has obviously listened to too many Three Kingdoms stories and even used the cup-breaking act as a signal.
"Don't hesitate. The Eighth Route Army is like a fierce dragon crossing the river, but they have to stay put when they reach our territory."
"Yes!" Cheng Kui agreed, and immediately sent half of the puppet soldiers to hide in the east wing, while he took the remaining half of the puppet soldiers to hide in the west wing.
Old Master Cheng said anxiously, "A-Du, you can't do this, you can't do this."
"Dad, don't worry about it." Dudu was still as arrogant in front of his father, and said, "This is the Eighth Route Army. They are mortal enemies of our Imperial Army. If they meet, either they will die or the Imperial Army will die."
"Alas, why is this necessary?" Old Master Cheng said anxiously, "We are all Chinese, why do we have to fight to the death?"
"Dad, it's not your son I want to fight to death." Dudu said coldly, "To put it bluntly, your son is just trying to make a living. It's the Eighth Route Army that won't let us go and insists on making things difficult for our Cheng family."
"It's okay for them to control me, but it's not okay for them to plot against you and the girl."
"If anyone dares to plot against my father and my sister, I will kill his entire family. It's that simple!"
"That's not true." Old Master Cheng said, "The Eighth Route Army is very friendly. This time they saved your father, me, and your sister's lives. If they hadn't intervened this time, your sister would have been killed by the bandits."
"Dad, stop talking. This matter is not that simple." Dudu said, "Diao Desheng showed up at this . And as soon as he showed up, the Eighth Route Army showed up right after him. Don't you think it's strange? Needless to say, this must be a play they planned together."
"It doesn't have to come to that." Old Master Cheng waved his hand.
"Don't worry about it." Dudu became a little impatient.
Old Master Cheng obviously has no say in front of his son.
At that moment, I could only sigh and go back to my room to sulk.
However, Dudu went into the living room of the upper room and began to wait patiently.
I have to say that this traitor Dudu is still quite courageous.
…
Wang Ye and his team stayed on Wangming Ridge for about an hour.
After collecting almost all the information, we went down the mountain along the same route.
It was still early at this time, so Wang Ye said, "Big Bad Wolf, I have a task for you."
"Didn't Miss Cheng say she loves hunting? It's still early, why don't you accompany her to the mountains to hunt ? If we're lucky enough to catch a deer or something, we'll have a treat tonight."
"Okay, okay." Cheng Yue was very happy when she heard it, "I love hunting the most."
For Cheng Yue, hunting is secondary. The key is to be alone with Wei Dayong.
Although Wei Dayong is reckless, he is not stupid. He knows very well what Wang Ye's intention is.
But he couldn't help but worry about Wang Ye's safety, so he asked, "Can you go back alone?"
Wang Ye smiled slightly and said, "As long as you have no problem with this, I won't have any problem at all."
Wei Dayong said nothing more. He walked into the woods and led out the three people's mounts. Then he and Cheng Yue mounted the horses and headed into the dense forest of Mianshan.
Wang Ye returned to the town alone.
However, Wang Ye did not return to Cheng's house immediately.
Even though he had a cold-weapon-level physique, Wang Ye didn't want to take any risks.
Therefore, it is necessary to do a basic assessment before meeting with the degree. If the conclusion is that the risk is extremely high, then you need to change the way of meeting.
Even not meeting is fine.
Wang Ye put away his weapons and then strolled leisurely on the street while leading his warhorse.
Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year, but there are already many vendors on the streets of Chengjia Town.
The year was not good and people had a hard time living. They started to work to make a living on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
From time to time, Wang Ye would stop to chat with the people selling roasted sweet potatoes or cigarettes on the street, or even with beggars begging for food. With a little rhetoric, he found out that no large number of puppet troops had entered Chengjia Town.
But Du did come back, with only a dozen puppet army guards around him.
If we did not bring a large number of puppet troops back to Chengjia Town, the risk level would be greatly reduced.
Wang Ye didn't really take a dozen puppet soldiers seriously. He could easily deal with them by himself.
However, just in case, Wang Ye found a secluded corner, took out a dozen grenades made in the border area, tied them around himself, and covered them with his coat.
I learned this trick from Li Yunlong.
It is enough to deter the puppet army at a critical moment.
After all, there is no puppet soldier who is not afraid of death.
If they were not afraid of death, they would not have become traitors.
Wang Ye stopped wandering around and led his warhorse straight back to the Cheng family compound. At the gate, he happened to meet housekeeper Cheng who was about to go out to do some business.
"Going out?"
Wang Ye greeted.
"Huh? Oh, yeah."
Butler Cheng's eyes flickered.
Wang Ye smiled slightly in his heart.
From the looks of it, it seems like he really has some ideas?
As expected, just after entering the backyard, more than a dozen puppet soldiers rushed out from the rooms on both sides, carrying more than a dozen face-cleaning boxes and surrounded Wang Ye.
Cheng Kui was among the dozen or so puppet soldiers.
Wang Ye saw that these dozen or so clean-faced boxes were all filled with fire.
Judging from the situation, it is obvious that these dozen or so puppet soldiers are not just trying to scare people, but are really planning to take action.
Wang Ye's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Brigade Commander Cheng, right? You are determined to be a traitor and running dog for the Japanese, right?"
When the door curtain was lifted, a man came out from the upper room.
He had regular facial features and looked quite heroic, but it was a pity that he became a traitor.
Cheng Kui and a dozen other puppet soldiers looked at the teacup in Dudu's hand.
This was also agreed upon in advance. As soon as the brigade commander threw the teacup to the ground, they opened fire decisively, shooting to death the two Eighth Route Army soldiers who had entered Cheng's house. But it seemed that only one came back?
Du's gaze also fell on Wang Ye.
"Why are you alone? Where are your companions?"
Dudu asked coldly, "What about my sister?"
"Brigade Commander Cheng, are you interrogating me?" Wang Ye said with a sneer.
"You can understand it that way." Dudu said, "Answer my question."
As he spoke, he raised the teacup, ready to throw it to the ground at any time.
"Then there's nothing to say." Wang Ye said with a smile, "Just let your men shoot."
"You're about to die, and you're still laughing?" Dudu said, "Don't think that you can threaten me just because you control my sister. I'm telling you, I won't fall for it."
"So, what about this set?"
"I wonder if Brigade Commander Cheng will eat it?"
As he spoke, Wang Ye unbuttoned his clothes.
Cheng Kui and a dozen other puppet soldiers gasped in shock.
His pupils also shrank sharply instantly. So many grenades? !
Taking advantage of the brief gap when Ducheng and a dozen puppet soldiers were stunned by the grenade, Wang Ye rushed to Ducheng in one step. When Ducheng tried to retreat, it was too late.
Wang Ye grabbed one of Chengdu's arms.
Cheng Kui and a dozen other puppet soldiers reacted and raised their guns.
"Don't move!" Wang Ye said coldly, "I am just a nobody in the Eighth Route Army. I can die if I want to. But your brigade commander is a big shot. It's a pity for him to be blown to death like this."
"A nobody?" Dudu's face twitched twice, and he said, "Is he really just a nobody?"
"He's just a small team leader." Wang Ye said, "He has more than a dozen people under him."
"Your army is really full of talented people. A small team leader has such courage and determination." Facing a dozen grenades that could blow two people to pieces, Du's tone instantly turned into respect.
After all, it’s because of fear of death. If you weren’t afraid of death, you wouldn’t be a traitor.
Wang Ye smiled and said, "Captain Cheng, can we sit down and have a good talk now?"
"Of course, haha." Xiaoxiao said with an awkward but polite tone, "That's exactly what I meant."
Wang Ye turned his gaze to Cheng Kui and the other dozen puppet soldiers and said, "Put away your weapons."
Dudu quickly waved his hands and said, "Put them away, put them all away. This Eighth Route Army soldier is the lifesaver of my father and sister. How can you point guns at them?"
Wow, he becomes my lifesaver again.
Cheng Kui had no choice but to leave in disgrace with a dozen puppet soldiers.
However, Wang Ye continued to hold Dudu hostage and led him into the upper room, and sat down next to him without letting go of his hand. Dudu did not dare to struggle and could only let Wang Ye hold him.
"Well?" Dudu asked with a smile, "What's your name?"
"Excuse me, my last name is Wang." Wang Ye said with a smile, "Wang Ye."
"So it's Brother Wang Ye." Dudu said with a smile, "As the name suggests, you are ambitious."
Wang Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, and thought to himself, does your Chinese teacher know that you are misusing idioms like this?
After a pause, Dudu said, "Brother Wang Ye, can you put away the grenade first?"
"I'm afraid not yet." Wang Ye waved his hand and said, "Before we have agreed on the terms of cooperation, I'm afraid these dozen grenades cannot be put away, in case Brigade Commander Cheng changes his mind."
"No, no." Dudu said hurriedly, "Absolutely not."
Wang Ye said: "But I still prefer to believe in grenades."
"Well, alright then." Dudu said helplessly, "Then keep it for now."
Wang Ye smiled and said, "Your father wants to let us stay in your house for a while to express his gratitude to us. Commander Cheng, you should not object, right?"
"No, of course not."
Dudu's face twitched violently twice.
I thought to myself, as long as you dare to stay, I'm not afraid that you won't stay.
Wang Ye asked, "Is Commander Cheng planning to bring more people to arrest us? Or is he planning to leak our whereabouts to the Japanese? Let the Japanese come to Chengjia Town to arrest us?"
"No." Dudu said hurriedly, "I have no such intention."
"It doesn't matter whether you mean that or not."
Wang Ye said: "Because I will never give you such an opportunity."
After a pause, Wang Ye said, "Now we can get down to business."
"Of course." Dudu also figured it out at this time, and said repeatedly, "Brother Wang Ye, please set the conditions. As long as it is within Cheng's ability, I will definitely do it."
Now your life is in other people's hands.
So the only thing you can do is pay to redeem your life.
"Don't worry, it's definitely within your capabilities."
Wang Ye said: "First thing, five thousand dollars in cash plus eight thousand kilograms of flour!"
"Sure." Dudu agreed without hesitation, because his father had already mentioned to him that he was going to donate 5,000 yuan in cash to the Eighth Route Army to buy a peace.
Although the 8,000 kilograms of white flour were added by Wang Ye on the spur of the moment, there was no problem.
With the strength of the Cheng family, it should be no problem for them to collect 8,000 kilograms of flour.
Besides, he is a prisoner now. A prisoner should have the awareness of a prisoner and should not resist.
"Okay, Commander Cheng is quite straightforward." Wang Ye said with a smile, "But we only have two people and two horses, and we really can't take away so much money and food, so I'll trouble Commander Cheng to send someone to escort this batch of money and food to Yang Village and hand it over to the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment."
"Independent Regiment?" Dudu's expression changed slightly. "You are actually from the Independent Regiment?"
"Why?" Wang Ye asked with a smile, "Has Commander Cheng also heard of our independent regiment?"
"Of course, how could I not have heard of it?" Dudu said, "I am very familiar with your independent regiment."
Wanjia Town destroyed one of my cavalry battalions, and before the New Year, we took down the Huting stronghold. On the first day of the New Year, it was even more incredible. We actually wiped out the Kuroshima Regiment of the Japanese Army at Fengxiangling!
Who in Shanxi doesn’t know about the Independent Regiment now?
Damn it, if I had known he was from the Independent Regiment, I should have been more cautious!
"It's good that Commander Cheng has heard of our independent regiment." Wang Ye smiled and continued, "Now let's talk about the second thing. I would like to thank Commander Cheng for occasionally providing us with intelligence on the Japanese."
"Ah?" Dudu was stunned when he heard that. He really didn't expect this.
Does that mean he is a spy for the Eighth Route Army? Doesn't that make him a spy?
What would happen if the Japanese knew about this? The Special High Police were no pushovers.
Wang Ye said: "Captain Cheng, don't worry too much. Under normal circumstances, we won't bother you. We will only use you when we are in a desperate situation of life and death. How do you think?"
Dudu smiled bitterly and said, "I don't think your army will believe Cheng's verbal assurance, right?"
"That's for sure. If we were willing to believe your verbal assurance, wouldn't we be fools?" Wang Ye didn't shy away from the question and continued, "So we need hostages."
"Hostage?" Dudu's eyes fixed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Are you talking about my sister?"
"Yes, it's your sister. We are going to take her away." Wang Ye said in a deep voice, "But please rest assured, Miss Cheng Yue's personal safety can be absolutely guaranteed."
Dudu's eyes flashed fiercely and he said, "But this is just your verbal promise."
Wang Ye vaguely knew that this action had probably touched the reverse scale of the degree.
It seems that even if he is a traitor, he still has deep family affection in his heart that is difficult to give up.
But this is definitely not a reason to be a traitor, and Wang Ye will not back down because of this.
Wang Ye said firmly: "Brigade Commander Cheng, I'm afraid you don't have any choice."
Dudu stared at Wang Ye fiercely for a long time, and finally gave in. He said with a dark face: "Then I must send someone to follow her. If you can't even do this, I won't provide you with any information."
"Okay." Wang Ye agreed readily this time, "That's absolutely no problem."
Just when they had come up with a preliminary idea, Cheng Yue's clear laughter suddenly came from outside.
Then Cheng Yue came in with a smile, followed by Wei Dayong, who was carrying a musk deer on his shoulder.
"Brother? When did you come back?" Seeing that Dudu was there, Cheng Yue's smile became even brighter.
"Just arrived." Dudu forced a smile on his face, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on Wei Dayong.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I feel that his sister is a little too intimate with this bald young man.
Suddenly, I felt a little worried. If I sent the girl to the Eighth Route Army as a hostage, would it be like throwing a meat bun at a dog?
"Then you are in for a treat, we just hunted a musk deer." Cheng Yue asked Wei Dayong, "Brother Yong, should we stew this musk deer? Or roast it whole?"
"I can do anything." Wei Dayong replied casually, "I'll listen to you."
Cheng Yue said: "Then roast it and eat it. Roasted deer meat tastes better."
After saying that, Cheng Yue hugged Wei Dayong's arm and prepared to walk out.
Seeing this scene, Dudu's face became even more embarrassed. He's not being shy about this?
Wang Ye smiled secretly when he saw this, and then said, "Miss Cheng, wait a moment."
Cheng Yue turned around and asked in confusion, "Brother Wang, is there something wrong?"
Wang Ye said, "This is what happened. Didn't you say you wanted to join our Eighth Route Army when we were in Mianshan? I have just discussed this with your brother, and he agreed."
"Really?" Cheng Yue was overjoyed.
Then he asked, "Brother, do you really agree?"
"I agree." Dudu said bitterly.
I don't want to agree, but I have to.
Then he added: "A Kui will go with you too."
After saying that, Dudu yelled to the outside again: "A Kui?!"
Cheng Kui responded and went inside, glanced at Wang Ye and asked, "Master?"
Dudu said, "Akui, didn't you keep saying that you didn't want to be a traitor and wanted to join the National Army to fight the Japanese?"
"Master?" Cheng Kui was stunned upon hearing this and asked in astonishment, "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
Chengdu waved his hand and said, "Joining the National Army has no future. I advise you to join the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment. Xiaoyue is also planning to join the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment. You can also take care of me when you go."
"Ah?" Cheng Kui was dumbfounded, "Miss, you want to join the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment?"
"Yes." Cheng Yue said, "Brother A Kui, let's join the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese devils."
Cheng Kui nodded and asked, "Master, when are you leaving?"
"Let's go now." Wang Ye continued, "Right away!"
