"Sure, that's fine with me. I'll go wherever you go."

The two found a small restaurant and walked in.

The two of them also ordered a few dishes and a pot of wine, eating and drinking at the same time.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet what the purpose of our visit is?"

Li Yunlong asked.

Li Jingrong looked around and then asked Li Yunlong to come over.

"This time, our mission is to explore the enemy's route to Green City."

"Today at home, I used a piece of paper to roughly plan out all the traffic routes near Chang'an Avenue and found three roads that can lead to Green City."

Li Jingrong spoke quietly to Li Yunlong.

"Oh~ Then what's the point of exploring here? The enemies might switch back and forth along the three paths."

"No, no, no, you see, the pattern is too small."

"What I just told you is not the point. The point is that among these three roads, one is a shortcut and two are long ones."

"Yes, then he must have taken a shortcut. What's so strange about that?"

"But the problem is that this shortcut passes near our Wolf Mountain."

After hearing what Li Jingrong said, Li Yunlong seemed to understand something.

"Wait a minute, let me sort it out first."

"There are three roads, two far and one close. If we want to go, we must take the shortest road. The shortest road requires passing by Wolf Mountain. Passing by Wolf Mountain..."

"Passing by Wolf Mountain!"

Li Yunlong suddenly shouted loudly.

Li Jingrong quickly stuffed a bone into his mouth.

"Shh! Keep your voice down. Why are you so excited?"

"Yes, I see. If we have to pass through Wolf Mountain, then why haven't we heard any movement in the past few days?"

"If you say so, we really need to investigate further."

Li Yunlong said.

"Let's go. We've almost finished eating. Let's find a hotel to rest first."

Then Li Jingrong paid the bill and the two left.

The two arrived at the hotel, paid the bill, and went up to the second floor.

As soon as he entered the room, Li Yunlong threw himself onto the bed.

"Oh~ It's so comfortable! It would be so nice if there were no war. I wouldn't have to be so tired every day."

"There's nothing we can do. We are members of the Eighth Route Army, and we have a heavy responsibility."

"Alas, I'm not destined to enjoy happiness anyway, so I'll leave it to my descendants to enjoy it on my behalf."

Because the food tonight was quite salty, Li Jingrong was a little thirsty...

"Would you like some water? The food tonight is a bit salty. I'll go downstairs and buy two bottles of water."

"Okay, bring me a bottle too. The food tonight is indeed a bit salty."

"Okay, you take a rest first, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Li Jingrong opened the door and went down the stairs.

"Oh, you don't know, but lately there's been a lot of noise from trucks outside Chang'an Avenue. It's so noisy that I can't even rest at night."

"I know. I'm also woken up by the noise of trucks every night. It's really annoying."

At this time, after hearing the conversation between the hotel hostess and her friend, Li Jingrong also stood quietly at the stairs and listened.

"I heard that after Yamamoto died, new people were sent here, two more people this time. I guess these trucks are heading to their base."

"They might be transporting something, so there's the sound of one truck after another all night long."

"Oh, it's so late. Look, I came here to buy things and we've been chatting for such a long time. I have to go back quickly. I'm leaving now."

The woman then left the hotel.

Li Jingrong also wanted to hear something else, but the person had already left.

"Boss lady, bring me two bottles of water."

"Ok."

Li Jingrong had been hesitating whether to ask, but in the end he decided to ask.

"Um, Madam, I'd like to ask, have there been any Japanese military movements near Chang'an Avenue recently since Yamamoto's death?"

Li Jingrong pretended that he didn't hear their conversation just now.

"Oh, of course there are, young man. You don't know, but lately, whether it's day or night, the sound of trucks outside Chang'an Avenue is endless, one after another."

"It's okay during the day because no one needs to rest, but at night everyone needs to rest. We've been busy all day, but the sound of the trains outside is still going on."

"It has caused our sleep quality to decline during this period."

The hostess of the hotel was also complaining madly.

"It turns out that the Japanese army is behind this."

"It turns out they were taking the main traffic route near Chang'an Avenue and didn't drive onto Chang'an Avenue."

Li Jingrong thought to himself.

"Then, Madam, has anyone from your Chang'an Avenue been there during the day?"

"How dare I go there? There are Japanese trucks all over the place. If I'm found blocking someone's road, my life will be in danger. Who dares to go there?"

"Okay then. Thank you."

Li Jingrong paid the money and went upstairs.

When he returned to his residence, Li Yunlong was still awake.

"Wow, that's rare. You haven't fallen asleep for such a long time. I thought you started snoring."

Li Jingrong put the water on the table as he spoke.

"can not fall asleep."

Li Jingrong also saw what Li Yunlong was thinking.

"What's wrong? Are you missing Xiaofeng?"

"Hehehe, it has to be you, Comrade Jingrong. Nothing can be hidden from you."

"I just feel unsafe when Xiaofeng is home alone."

"That proves that you're attracted to her. I never saw you worry about her before you two met."

Li Jingrong said.

"Yeah, I think so too."

"Oh, by the way, what were you doing just now? Why did it take you so long to buy two bottles of water?"

Li Yunlong suddenly asked again.

"Ah, I was just about to tell you."

Li Yunlong suddenly sat up from the bed.

"Did you hear any news?"

"Well, I just heard the conversation between the boss lady and someone else, and then I went down and asked again, pretending not to know."

"They said that Japanese trucks would be driving around Chang'an Avenue at any time of day or night, but they never entered Chang'an Avenue."

"Since they didn't enter Chang'an Avenue, that means they didn't take the nearest road. I was wondering why we haven't heard any movement in Langshan for so many days. It turns out they don't take the usual route."

"Then we only have two other paths to explore."

Li Jingrong looked up at the clock on the wall.

"It's getting late. Go to bed early and leave early tomorrow morning."

"Well, okay."

After Li Jingrong finished speaking, they both went to bed.

In the middle of the night, Li Yunlong's snoring was deafening. Li Jingrong couldn't sleep and tossed and turned in bed.

After a while he heard the sound of a truck moving.

They sat up and listened carefully.

"It's indeed them."

Then Li Jingrong stopped listening and lay down to sleep.

Early the next morning, Li Jingrong woke Li Yunlong up, and the two of them packed up and left the hotel.

On the way, Li Jingrong bought a lot of dry food.

"Why didn't you buy so much dry food?"

Li Yunlong asked doubtfully.

"I bought so much dry food, of course, for eating on the road, otherwise why would I buy it?"

Li Jingrong replied.

Li Jingrong drove out the car and the two drove towards Chang'an Avenue together.

"Do you think we'll run into some Japanese vehicles in the near future?"

Li Yunlong asked.

"I'm not sure, but we have to come and investigate."

"If we don't figure out the main transportation routes they use to transport goods, it will be fatal for us. Not only will we not know the enemy's movements, but we won't even know when the enemy will attack."

Li Jingrong said.

"Then how are we going to find it?"

"It's very simple. It just takes a little more time. Take a look at the back."

After hearing Li Jingrong's words, Li Yunlong turned his head and took a look.

There are many gas tanks placed at the back.

"Why do you take so much?"

"Could it be?"

"Hahaha, that's right, I'm going to Green City."

"We don't know exactly how long it will take to get to Green City, but I think it won't be too short, so we prepared some gas in advance to avoid running out of gas along the way. That would be troublesome."

"Ah, I see. I was wondering why you bought so much dry food before you left. It turns out you were well prepared."

Li Yunlong suddenly realized.

"Hahaha, don't worry, these dry food are enough for three or four days."

Li Jingrong said.

"If I had known I wouldn't have come. I would have had to eat dry food with you."

"What you said is not right. We can't all share happiness and difficulties together, hahaha."

"I think you're the one who tricked me this time."

Li Yunlong looked aggrieved.

"Hahaha, alright, you were so confident before you came here, but now it's just like that, let's go."

The two of them were chatting as they walked.

Li Jingrong slowed down the car and took out the route map he had planned before leaving and opened it to take a look.

"That's right, the road ahead is one of them. Let's set off now."

After Li Jingrong finished speaking, he put the drawings away and drove forward faster.

Not only were there no vehicles along the way, but there wasn't even a single person in sight.

"Why do I feel like we've taken the wrong path?"

Li Yunlong said.

"No, I just followed the plan on the roadmap."

In order to ensure the correctness of the matter, Li Jingrong took it out and looked at it again.

"That's right, just keep going forward."

Li Yunlong didn't say anything else afterwards, and the two of them just drove along the road.

After a while, Li Yunlong fell asleep.

Li Jingrong drove the car slowly forward.

For some reason, he felt that the road he was taking was becoming more and more wrong.

Sure enough, after a while, he saw the village ahead.

He drove towards the village and found it very unfamiliar, so he got off the car.

Li Jingrong observed his surroundings quietly.

He saw an old man sitting by a rock smoking, so he walked over.

"Master, where is this?"

The old man put down the cigarette in his hand and looked up at Li Jingrong.

"This is Shuisheng Village. Where are you from, young man?"

"Ah, I came from Wolf Mountain. I remember this is the road leading to Green City, right?"

"Ah, you mean Green City? It was indeed this road in the past, but because it was too long, no one used it anymore. Over time, it has become a village now."
