Chapter 586 The Situation Near Shem Province
Before dark, Jiang Jiyuan left food and money to Su Wen and his men and left with his team.
Jiang Jiyun lay on her brother's back, looking at the mountain city getting farther and farther away. She secretly vowed to herself that she would come back after she had dealt with the problem. There were still many rich families that she had not "visited".
"Ah che..."
Meng Chuanfeng watched the section chief in front of him sneeze several times in succession. Not only the section chief, but also many directors and higher-level people sneezed.
Wang Chunsheng and Xu Jiancheng all lowered their heads and listened quietly to the section chief scolding them. Meng Chuanfeng turned his head slightly to look at his friends, and seeing that they lowered their heads and remained silent, he quickly lowered his head again to listen to the lecture.
They just didn't understand why Commander Lin's men would help them cover up their lies.
Lin De'an quietly looked at the two children sleeping soundly on the small bed in front of him. Their breathing was steady and gentle, but Lin De'an's heart was like a vast ocean and could not calm down for a long time.
He sighed deeply, turned to look at Cheng Gong beside him, and asked softly, "Will Old Qian be sad if he knows about this?"
Cheng Gong frowned and replied with a worried look on his face, "How could he not be sad? From the time his sister got married to the time she gave birth, he never had the chance to come. Now that his sister has passed away, the Huo family is left with only his two nephews. When Old Qian finds out, he'll probably blame us for not protecting his sister."
Lin De'an's heart was filled with guilt. He lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Yeah, we should have done better."
Cheng Gong quickly comforted them, "Don't blame yourself too much. We've done our best. After all, we reminded the Huo family to evacuate the mountain city two days in advance, but they didn't take us seriously. If they had listened to our advice and left in time, perhaps this tragedy wouldn't have happened. Sigh..."
After saying that, Cheng Gong shook his head helplessly, and both of them fell into silence.
Time passed minute by minute, and Cheng Gong finally couldn't contain his anxiety anymore. He asked Lin De'an, "Brother, do you think our application will be approved?"
A bitter smile played on Lin De'an's lips. He slowly said, "Yes, it will pass. We are like thorns in the back in the eyes of some people. Only by sending us to the battlefield can they remove this thorn in their side."
Cheng Gong's heart tightened. He certainly understood the deep meaning of Lin De'an's words.
The special medicine was supposed to save their lives, but unexpectedly it became their death warrant.
How could he not be heartbroken when his former good friend stabbed them in the back just for a pill?
The thoughts of achieving success gradually drifted back to when they had just returned. They were so high-spirited at that time, but because of the betrayal of their best friend, they were completely marginalized.
"Brother, in their eyes, we're the only three left now." Cheng Gong's voice was a little low. "However, we still have to put on a show for a few more days and not let them see any flaws. But what should we do with these two children?"
His eyes fell on the two children sleeping in the small bed, and there was deep worry in his eyes.
Lin De'an seemed to have anticipated this question from Cheng Gong. He answered confidently, "I've already thought about it. I'll select a few trusted people to send these two children to the Qian family in Hangzhou. Old Qian's parents are still alive, so sending them there shouldn't be any problems."
That night, Lin De'an's three confidants took the children and their luggage and left the mountain city.
After dawn, some men in suits came to the outside of the mountain city, some of them watching with a compass in their hands.
"彼らはもう去った!" (They have already left!) The man whispered to the white-bearded old man wearing a top hat and holding a cane next to him.
The man looked at the mountain and said, "If you take a day off, you can escape, and if you take a day off, you can escape!" (Then take a day off, and they can't escape!)
If Jiang Wenming and Jiang Jiyun were here at this moment, they would definitely be able to recognize the white-bearded old man at a glance.
This old man was one of the Onmyoji who had hunted them near the volcano before, and he was also an elder of the Anbei family.
After entering the city, this group of people moved directly into a house and never left it again.
At this time, Jiang Jiyuan and others were trudging along the mountain road, but they had no idea of the whereabouts of the Yin-Yang masters. They just focused on hurrying on their way, and had no idea that danger was approaching step by step.
Jiang Jiyun's frightened feeling could not be shaken off. She knew that those Yin-Yang masters were getting closer and closer to her.
In the evening, Ma Chao received a notice from his superiors, asking him to lead everyone north to Shem Province to meet with the Taoist priests who had already arrived there.
In Shem Province, Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain, Lao Mountain, Eight Immortals Temple and other places had already gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
Not only that, they have even started setting traps, preparing to teach those Onmyojis a severe lesson.
Jiang Jiyun actually had doubts about the abilities of those Yin-Yang masters. She really couldn't figure out what kind of powerful spells these people could use.
However, when she thought about how she had suffered at their hands before, she didn't dare to be careless, let alone risk her life.
After all, she hasn't seen with her own eyes those damned Japs being wiped out or fleeing back to their hometown in a panic. Even if they escaped back, she would fight them and wipe them out completely. She didn't have the time or the opportunity last time, but there will definitely be a chance in the future!
When they reached the flat area, Jiang Jiyuan and his men drove away without hesitation. They did not encounter too many obstacles along the way, only occasionally encountering some scattered Japanese troops.
There was no need for Jiang Jiyuan and his men to take action personally against these small groups of enemies. The local armed forces had already been on high alert and were ready to wipe out these Japanese devils in one fell swoop.
At this time, Jiang Jiyun knew nothing about the situation outside. She didn't know that there were almost no Japanese troops left in the entire Shan Province.
With the support of new weapons and sufficient ammunition, several provinces such as Shem, Tay and Yu have begun to completely wipe out the Japanese troops.
The soldiers were in high spirits and well-equipped. Armed with sufficient weapons and ammunition, they launched a fierce attack on the Japanese like a tiger descending from the mountain.
Faced with such a powerful offensive, the Japanese had no power to fight back and could only retreat step by step. Several armies under General Okamura Yasuji were beaten back again and again and were in a very embarrassing situation.
Nearly 100,000 Japanese soldiers died in the Eighth Route Army's counterattack in the past two months.
Such battles not only made our own people happy, but even the national army, which was also forced to participate in the battles, re-examined the strength of their "friends".
