Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

Time comes the next day.

Zheng Qian arrived at the door of the gendarmerie early in the morning waiting for Xiao Ye. There was a box at his feet, which looked very heavy.

It didn't take long before Ono appeared on a three-wheeled motorcycle.

Since Ono was going to meet Qian Bojun in person, Miyazaki was worried that something might go wrong, so he specially arranged a squadron of troops and towed a Type 92 infantry gun with a truck.

"Zheng Sang, I really like the things you gave me."

Ono Jiro looked at Zheng Qian with satisfaction and said, "You are a good citizen!"

"As long as you like it, Colonel!"

Zheng Qian was arranged to sit on the passenger seat of the truck. Coming from a businessman family, the first thing he did after getting on the truck was to secretly give a bag of silver dollars to the Japanese driver.

The devil took the heavy silver dollar and gave Zheng Qian a thumbs up with a smile.

This was his way of survival in the county, getting along well with every Japanese soldier he could come into contact with. Otherwise, when he was taken away yesterday, those pretty sisters-in-law would no longer be pretty.

Zheng Qian was a very smooth person. He controlled most of the businesses in the county and also managed a lot of business for the Japanese. The money he used to curry favor with them was actually earned from doing business with the Japanese.

Every time Zheng Qian went to meet Qian Bojun, he was responsible for preparing the gifts he brought. The Japanese thought he paid for them out of his own pocket, but in fact, Zheng Qian was not that stupid. He used the money he got from trading with the Japanese.

In addition to having a house in the county town, the Zheng family secretly sent all the money earned from the business out of the city. Except for a few concubines who had no children, the wife and several daughters were sent to a safe place.

Those antiques, calligraphy and paintings that were sent to Xiaoye yesterday afternoon, regardless of whether they were real or fake, were all taken out from the Japanese's own warehouse.

Most of them are fake, and the real ones have been taken away by Zheng Qian long ago.

After shaking all the way, Zheng Qian really felt that riding in a car was not as comfortable as riding a horse.

I felt like my brain was about to be shaken apart and was about to be unable to bear it when the truck finally stopped.

Further ahead is the defense zone of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the Japanese troops cannot enter so brazenly.

This meeting was held in secret, and the large force could only be sent here.

Zheng Qian also moved from the truck to the back seat of the tricycle. He held the heavy box in his arms and headed to Dagu Town, exhausted.

After suffering so much along the way, we finally arrived outside Dagu Town.

Ono was wearing a Zhongshan suit and was also of the yellow race. As long as he didn't speak, it would be hard to tell that he was a Japanese soldier when he walked among the crowd.

Not only is Qian Bojun's battalion home to Dagu Town, but many civilians also live here. The civilians previously protected by Lin Qiang were also arranged in Dagu Town by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Ono wandered the streets, and seeing the busy people, he couldn't help but flatter himself: "Zheng Sang, compared to the people in the county town, the people here are busy. In fact, as long as they are willing to build and prosper together with us, there is no need to start this war."

Zheng Qian didn't know what to say, so he just nodded and said yes.

After a while, the two approached Qian Bojun's camp. The guard was Qian Bojun's absolute confidant. When he saw Zheng Qian coming, he took the initiative to step forward and greeted him: "President Zheng, you have been coming here quite frequently these days!"

In their eyes, Zheng Qian was a wealthy and generous landlord who would give them some money for drinks every time he came.

I believe this time will be no exception.

According to the previous rules, Zheng Qian should give some benefits to the two guards, but the prerequisite is that Xiao Ye did not follow.

This time he came not alone, but accompanied Ono. Naturally, it was impossible for him to give benefits to the two guards in front of Ono.

Seeing that Zheng Qian did not move for a long time, the two guards quickly lost their enthusiasm, and the smiles on their faces were gradually replaced by impatience.

Zheng Qian bravely took two steps forward and said, "My two lords, I'm here to see your battalion commander. Please let him know."

Although he was very humble, the two guards pretended not to hear him and didn't even look at him.

Helpless, Zheng Qian pleaded again, "My two generals, this is really inconvenient. Next time, I will definitely thank you very much. For the sake of the previous times, please inform me."

There was no other way. After all, they had received Zheng Qian's kindness before, so the two guards couldn't really ignore him: "You said that, don't say that we brothers forced you to do it later."

“No, no!”

Zheng Qian quickly said, "It's only right that I thank you both. After all, I have to trouble you to inform me every time I come here. You two really work hard."

With Zheng Qian's promise and his very good attitude, one of the guards turned around and walked into the camp to report.

Xiao Ye didn't say a word during the whole process. He knew that once he opened his mouth, his identity would be exposed. So when he saw that Zheng Qian had not been able to get it done, even though he was very impatient, he could only suppress his temper and continue waiting.

Fortunately, Qian Bojun soon came out to greet him in person, and Ono's frown relaxed.

"President Zheng!"

Qian Bojun came out to greet him with a smile, his attitude completely different from the last time they met: "President Zheng has been really busy these past few days, running back and forth. Come on, come inside and have some water and rest."

After he finished speaking, Qian Bojun noticed Xiao Ye, who was wearing a Zhongshan suit, and asked, "Who is this..."

"Captain, Chairman Zheng, let's go inside first!"

Zhang Fugui noticed some details. The box that Zheng Qian was carrying was not light. The person who came with him was definitely of higher status than Zheng Qian, otherwise, how could Zheng Qian carry such a heavy box by himself.

In the past, when someone accompanied him, Zheng Qian never carried anything himself.

In the county, no one except the devils could make Zheng Qian so respectful.

Not only that, Zhang Fugui also guessed that the identity and status of this Japanese soldier was very unusual, at least a major.

Maybe even...

"Yes, let's talk inside."

Qian Bojun also said, "This is not the place to talk. Please come inside."

Although Zheng Qian was in front, he waited until Xiao Ye went in first before he followed him into the house.

This scene made Zhang Fugui more convinced of his guess. He pulled Qian Bojun, who was about to enter the house, and said, "Battalion Commander, Zheng Qian really did what you asked him to do last time."

"No way?"

Qian Bojun was startled and said with some disbelief: "That person couldn't be..."

"It's definitely him." Zhang Fugui said, "Didn't you notice Zheng Qian's attitude towards that man?"

After thinking about it carefully, Qian Bojun also noticed this: "Then let's go in quickly."

"Battalion Commander, I still have to go find Mr. Lin to get some equipment!"

Zhang Fugui smiled and said, "Since this play has already begun, we must finish it."

But Qian Bojun refused: "The current matter is more important, I need you to give advice on the side. As for the opera, let Wu Zhe go."

"also!"

After Zhang Fugui agreed, he couldn't help but smile. Qian Bojun didn't need my advice at all. It was obvious that he was worried that he couldn't handle it alone.

After notifying Wu Zhe, Zhang Fugui turned around and went into the house.

Wu Zhe was not happy about getting the task. Instead, he wanted to stay in the camp and find a way to eavesdrop on the conversation between Qian Bojun and others.

But he had to go to Heiyun Village to avoid suspicion and it was also a good opportunity to surrender.

After arranging a trustworthy person to find a way to eavesdrop on the conversation between Qian Bojun and the others, Wu Zhe took a few of his men out of Dagu Town and headed towards Heiyun Village.

Wu Zhe and his companions were running wildly along the way, completely ignoring the horses under them. The situation was urgent, and even if the horses died, I would tell Lin Qiang about this matter as soon as possible.

Three hours later, the group successfully arrived at the foot of the Black Cloud Village. After walking up for a distance, they were stopped by a row of sentries.

Wu Zhe knew there was no time to explain clearly, so he said anxiously, "Comrade, please inform your platoon leader as quickly as possible. Tell him that I have important information about Qian Bojun. Time is very short, so you must inform your platoon leader as soon as possible!"
