Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 677 Awakening at the End of the Road

Two days later.

Jiangcheng Mountain Spring Teahouse.

As the sun gradually sank in the west, the sky was filled with crimson clouds.

It was right at the end of the workday, and the streets were bustling with people. An elderly man, bent over and carrying a bamboo basket, slowly walked out from a corner of the alley.

Upon seeing the old man appear, Xu Baichuan picked up his teacup in a Huaiyang cuisine restaurant opposite the Mountain Spring Teahouse.

"The target appears."

"Chief, shall we arrest them now?"

Good heavens. These are truly veteran spies; faced with the potential treasure map of the Great Western King's treasure, they had absolutely no intention of making a deal.

The first thought that came to mind was to lead a team to arrest him.

"No!"

"Wait a minute."

Xu Baichuan took a sip of tea from his teacup, and as he put it down, his gaze fell on the second-floor window of the Mountain Spring Teahouse.

There sat a young man wearing glasses.

As Xu Baichuan looked over, the young man with glasses also raised his hand.

He waved lightly.

From street corners and alleyways, a dozen or so people dressed as various vendors or passersby suddenly appeared one after another.

These men were all carrying pistols. As soon as they jumped out, they simultaneously pointed their guns at the mysterious old farmer.

"Hey!"

"There's an ambush."

"I knew it, you black market people are all extremely filthy."

Facing more than a dozen gun barrels, the mysterious old farmer showed no fear whatsoever. As he muttered to himself, he had already taken off the bamboo basket from his back.

With a flick of his wrist, the old farmer tossed dozens of brightly colored venomous snakes into the air.

He threw it straight at the gunmen blocking his way.

At the same time, the old farmer also had two pistols in his hands. He pulled the trigger repeatedly and hit the two men instantly.

"Snake, run!"

"Oh my god! Help!"

The sudden turn of events terrified the gunmen who were blocking the way. Perhaps it was a memory from ancient genes, but few people are unafraid of venomous snakes.

For a moment, everyone panicked.

Ordinary people and stall owners on the street were so frightened that they fled in panic.

The chaos gave the mysterious old farmer an opportunity to escape.

After firing continuously to cut off the pursuers, he turned and fled without hesitation.

Just then, a dozen or so short, muscular figures suddenly rushed out from the street corner.

These people all had gloomy faces.

Most of them were still holding Japanese Type 14 pistols.

"Grab him!" The strange tone and swift speed completely exposed the identities of these people.

"Little devils."

"They actually have so many people hiding in Jiangcheng!"

Inside the Huaiyang cuisine restaurant, people saw gunmen suddenly appear on the street and immediately gasped in surprise.

"Humph!"

"The Party Affairs Investigation Department and the Japanese devils, they really did show up."

"Do you think there will be anyone else?"

Xu Baichuan narrowed his eyes slightly, coldly watching the fierce gunfight downstairs.

"other people?"

"Director, are you referring to the Red Party?"

"That can't be right. The Red Party must have spies in Jiangcheng, but they couldn't possibly get involved in such a chaotic battlefield," the middle-aged man who had once visited Ye Shaohong's home with Xu Baichuan responded uncertainly.

"When did I mention the Red Party?"

“The Red Party has no interest in participating in treasure hunting.”

"I'm talking about the Gelaohui!"

"Didn't you ever consider where Mayor Wang, a politician, organized his personnel from?"

Xu Baichuan responded softly, his gaze gradually shifting from the chaos of the gunfight to a casino not far away.

As he finished speaking, the casino opened its doors.

A group of over twenty gunmen, armed with various firearms, suddenly charged out, led by a young man dressed in a black short-sleeved outfit.

They charged into the chaotic battle.

"Damn it." "How can you black market dealers all be so vicious?"

"All you want is a treasure map, right?"

"Okay, I'll give it to you!"

Seeing that forty or fifty gunmen had gathered on the small street in a short time, the mysterious old farmer became afraid.

He reached into his robe and pulled out something that looked like animal hide.

With a flick of his wrist, the animal skin package was tossed into the air.

"Crash!"

As the animal skin package was thrown into the air, it opened, and five or six coins, some made of bronze and some of silver, fell down.

It crashed to the ground.

"Treasure map."

"The Western King's reward money!" "Take it!"

Upon seeing those things, members of the Party Affairs Investigation Department, the Japanese soldiers, and the members of the Gelaohui (a secret society) all looked over at the same time.

Their gazes also fell on the animal skin package.

The gunfight quickly escalated into a fierce battle.

But none of them noticed that in the instant the chaos escalated, the mysterious old farmer had seized the opportunity and secretly slipped into the shop next door.

"Ran?"

"That shouldn't be the case. This is Xiao Qi's territory. How could he allow such a thing to happen?"

Where is he?

Xu Baichuan had been anxiously monitoring the situation, or rather, he had been frantically searching the nearby shops, streets, and alleys.

But no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find the figure he was looking for.

This caused Xu Baichuan's brows to furrow slowly.

"Director."

"Give the order quickly, the treasure map is about to be stolen."

Xu Baichuan's trusted confidant grew anxious. He was also watching the battle unfold in the streets and alleys. Seeing that the treasure map was about to fall into the hands of the Japanese devils who were fighting like mad dogs, he finally couldn't help but shout out.

"No!"

"Don't even move."

"Something's wrong. We might have been tricked!"

"This is a trap!"

Xu Baichuan's eyes narrowed deeper and deeper, almost to slits, and his bad premonition grew stronger. Finally, he seemed to suddenly understand something.

He suddenly opened his mouth, stopping his subordinate's actions.

"what?"

"trap?"

"How could that be, Director? That's clearly a treasure map!"

Xu Baichuan's men were shouting urgently, and many of them had already pulled out their guns.

"I said don't move, so don't move!"

"go!"

“We’re leaving immediately. Damn it, Xiao Qi is ruthless. He schemed against everyone, and he even dragged me into it.”

"Does he want to kill me?"

"Send the signal immediately so our people can evacuate as soon as possible. You all go straight back to your hiding places. Once you're back, immediately conceal yourselves and cut off all contact with the outside world." "I need to go to the Jiangcheng station of the Special Service!"

"Go see my good brother, Ye Shaohong!"
