Chapter 836 Arrival in Tianjin

Ye Shaohong and the others left.

After the train stopped, they carried the monk's body and fled into the mountains and forests by the roadside.

There were quite a few people who ran out with them.

Many passengers were worried that the Japanese would retaliate, so they abandoned the rest of their journey.

However, they did not act together with Ye Shaohong and his group.

Although they knew that Ye Shaohong and his group were anti-Japanese heroes who served the country and the people, and that their actions were right.

However, driven by a desire to avoid harm and seek benefit, the group quickly dispersed after their brief reunion. Ye Shaohong and the others could understand this.

They didn't say anything to stop it.

Under the dim moonlight, led by Yan Shuangying, they quickly traversed the mountain forest along the road.

We arrived at a remote mountain village.

Upon arriving at this point, Yan Shuangying, who was leading the way, raised his hand and called for a halt to the group.

"We've been running all the way, and we've already covered more than ten miles."

"The Japanese won't be able to catch up in a short time."

"Let's take a break first."

"Check Tie Cheng's injuries, make sure they don't get infected!"

Ye Shaohong supported Yan Shuangying's decision. There was no other reason than that he knew very well that among them, Yan Shuangying was definitely the best in terms of actual combat experience against the Japanese.

In Northeast China, he frequently traversed the continuous mountains, battling against the heavens, the earth, the Japanese invaders, and bandits. Yan Shuangying's grasp of battlefield timing was absolutely masterful.

He is someone worthy of his trust and following.

The same is true.

After everyone stopped, Yan Shuangying immediately arranged for Li Yunlong, who was the fastest, to go to the mountains and forests behind to keep watch.

Then, he arranged for Shan Leng, a woman, to take money and silver dollars into the mountain village to buy food, water, and traditional medicines passed down in the villagers' homes.

Ye Shaohong then took Li Beifa for a stroll in the nearby mountains and forests.

They found a place with a fairly elegant view and buried the Flower Monk there.

The process was very rudimentary.

The Flower Monk didn't even have a straw mat to wrap himself in.

But what could they do? As soldiers, this was their mission, and their final destination.

Some might wonder why they didn't just buy some straw mats from the villagers or purchase a coffin.

After all, in this era, the elderly in the village have a tradition of preparing their own coffins in advance, and as long as they spend enough money, they can still purchase them.

That won't do.

This is enemy-occupied territory after all, and if nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese pursuers will arrive soon.

They would also interrogate the villagers.

Ye Shaohong and his group purchased some food and medicine, which the villagers could then claim were purchased by traveling merchants or train passengers.

They won't bear any responsibility.

They will not be implicated or harmed by the Japanese devils.

Once they purchased the coffins, things would be different, and the Japanese would inevitably discover and become aware of it.

There must also be those in the village who lack a firm will.

They might leak information too.

At that time, the villagers who sold the goods will be implicated innocently, and the monk who was buried in the ground may also be found by the Japanese devils and his grave dug up.

Ye Shaohong didn't want the monk Hua to suffer such torment after his death.

He had no choice but to give up, even though it was painful.

The only thing we could do was to note the location of this place so that we could move the remains of the Flower Monk after we had driven away the invading Japanese devils.

Give him a grand funeral.

By the time I finished doing all that, it was almost midnight.

Ye Shaohong and Li Beifa turned back, and the group hastily ate some dry rations and drank some hot water before resuming their journey. Instead of choosing the main road, they entered a new mountain forest under the guidance of Yan Shuangying.

After crossing the entire route, we finally arrived at a small town at noon on the second day.

Only then did things finally settle down completely.

In the small town, the group rested for two days and finally recovered from the fatigue of their days of travel.

Chi Tiecheng's condition has also stabilized.

Ye Shaohong and Yan Shuangying reunited and began discussing their next steps.

Ye Shaohong originally intended to travel to Beiping together with Yan Shuangying, but Yan Shuangying rejected his suggestion.

According to Yan Shuangying, he was going to return to Northeast China this time.

I have personal matters to attend to.

They would indeed continue their journey together for a while, but they would have to part ways once they reached Tianjin.

Whether we will meet again depends on whether God will give us the chance.

Whether we are destined to be together.

Ye Shaohong was very disappointed. To be honest, he really enjoyed his friendship with Yan Shuangying.

It wasn't because of Yan Shuangying's extraordinary skills.

Rather, it was because the two people had compatible temperaments.

But he also knew very well that Yan Shuangying was like an eagle soaring in the vast blue sky, used to being free and unrestrained.

It's hard for me to be restrained.

This outcome was inevitable.

Ye Shaohong could only sincerely express his gratitude and make a promise to meet again in the future if there was an opportunity.

And so, the group resumed their journey.

A few days later, after a long and arduous journey, Ye Shaohong and his group finally arrived in Tianjin.

Yan Shuangying took his leave.

Ye Shaohong then arranged for Li Yunlong to contact the Tianjin station of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

After exchanging coded messages, they finally met Huang Bingshou, the stationmaster of Jinmen Station.

The moment Huang Bingshou saw Ye Shaohong, he was filled with excitement.

"Brother Seven!"

"I'm so glad to finally see you."

"You have no idea, these past few days you've suddenly gone missing, and headquarters has been extremely worried."

"The Director has sent three urgent telegrams in succession, ordering us to spare no effort and do everything in our power to search for your whereabouts."

"If I don't see you again, I should confess my sins and commit suicide!" That's not wrong.

Ye Shaohong is now one of the top big shots in the Military Intelligence Bureau.

One of the heads of the Second Office of the Tenth Division.

He was also the direct superior of all the Kuomintang's military intelligence bureau stations, spies, and intelligence personnel in the occupied areas.

To put it more simply, Ye Shaohong, the director of the external office, was actually Huang Bingshou's highest superior, the stationmaster of Tianjin Station.

His future and destiny were also in Ye Shaohong's hands.

If something were to happen to Ye Shaohong, even if he managed to save his life, his future career would be completely ruined.

"It's okay, don't worry."

"It was just a minor accident on the way that delayed our trip."

"Do you have a standalone unit here? I need to contact headquarters immediately!" "Contact the Director!"

There's a reason why Ye Shaohong is in such a hurry.

Firstly, the events that occurred on the train were far too significant, involving a Japanese general, a top bacteriology expert, and several junior officers.

Eliminating them was a tremendous achievement, and it was imperative to report it immediately to add to his own merits and those of his subordinates.

On the other hand, Ye Shaohong was also worried about his family.

When he came out this time, Yu Manli was already more than four months pregnant, although at this stage the baby's position was basically stable.

In most cases, miscarriage will not occur.

But there are differences.

If Yu Manli knew that his trip had gone wrong, even putting his life in danger, Ye Shaohong was genuinely worried that his beloved eldest son would leave prematurely. If that happened, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

We should still send a message.

Next, it will be time to identify the mole within Beiping Station. Ye Shaohong had already come up with ideas about this issue on the way.

All that's left is to execute it!
