Chapter 11 Chapter 8 Neijiang

Accompanied by Master Chun, when Li Hanzhang walked out of the inn, the sun had already risen.At the entrance of the inn, he deliberately took a few more glances, but he didn't see the shadow of the proprietress. In the next few days, Li Hanzhang had four men and a mule arranged by Master Chun, which saved a lot of trouble along the way and made the journey much faster.According to the route planned by Li Hanzhang in advance, he will pass through Jianyang, Ziyang, Zizhong, Neijiang from Chengdu, and then transfer to Dazu to buy iron goods.After purchasing the goods, they will pass through Rongchang and Longchang from Dazu, then cross the river from Lu County, and then go to Bijie County in Guizhou Province via Xuyong.Along the way, Li Hanzhang still couldn't figure out that he and Master Chun had met by chance, not even by chance, at most, he found a man who was dressed in ordinary clothes but had a lot of money to stay at the hotel, so he came to check in person, and just got acquainted with each other.As for the relationship between Brother Pao and his family, in this troubled world, it can only be used as an excuse when two people want to have a relationship...

However, after much deliberation, Li Hanzhang didn't realize that Master Chun was doing him any harm.Those four subordinates were indeed taking care of him dutifully: leading the mule to lead the way during the day, and arranging hotels along the way at night, and before Li Hanzhang could sit down for dinner, the table was full of dishes.And these four people gave Li Hanzhang peace of mind that when he was riding on the mule, the carrying belt was carried on the mule; when he jumped off the mule, they would immediately take it off the mule Carried the sash and handed it to Li Hanzhang.They seem to understand that there are some valuable things in the bag, so, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, without the owner's permission, they will never touch it.It seems that the four subordinates sent by Master Chun are all fellows who have been working in the Tao for many years.

With these four temporary entourages and the mule presented by Master Chun, Li Hanzhang felt that he had a feeling of a Tang monk going to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, but these four entourages just followed him silently, although they assumed the role of guards. , but rarely speak.This somewhat made Li Hanzhang feel a little bored.In the inn in Longquanyi, Master Chun abided by the rules of the rivers and lakes that "a hero does not ask where he comes from", and did not ask Li Hanzhang's name.Along the way, Master Chun's four subordinates also waited on Li Hanzhang silently. During the short and polite conversation, not only did they not ask Li Hanzhang's name, they didn't even disclose their own names.So, Li Hanzhang had nothing to do, so he quietly named each of the four attendants: the thin and tall guy was called "Zhugan"; the dark and fat guy was called "Mu Dun"; The guy with a hoarse voice and a big tongue that can't speak well is called "Squib"; the guy who seems to have suffered from skin ulcers and has patches of hairless on his head is called "Flower Melon".

When choosing these names for them, Li Hanzhang thought to himself, in fact, in life, isn’t a name just a symbol?For example, I, Li Hanzhang, am not Li Hanzhang now, let alone a special commissioner of the Party Secretary of the Central Committee, a liaison staff officer of the Political Department of the Military Commission, or the director of the Political Department of the newly created First Army. I am now Zhou Yaozu, a small businessman who went from Chengdu to Kunming Zhou Yaozu.But whether it’s Li Hanzhang, Zhou Yaozu, Director Li, or Boss Zhou, I’m still the same “I”. My name, position, life, circumstances, etc. have all changed, but I’m still the “I” .

Even so, he already regarded himself as a lonely hero, so Li Hanzhang had to put on a sullen face and put on airs every day in front of these four temporary followers.Originally, his purpose was to escape for his life, until he fled from Yunnan to buy iron or something, that is to say, as a cover, or to cover his identity.Now, with these four attendants and bodyguards, he was very happy and freed from a lot of trouble. The speed of his journey was much faster than he had imagined before.It's just that these four people don't like to talk. When Li Hanzhang was bored, he couldn't help thinking of the days with Jiang Huiqi and Zhou Yungang: How many days have you been separated from them?Are they safe now?where are they?

These days, Li Hanzhang has been exhausted, and he is a little ignorant of the passage of time.And the Jianyang, Ziyang, and Zizhong that passed by along the way are all small counties, and there is no chance to read newspapers at all.The next stop is Neijiang, there should be a chance to learn something, right? The last time Li Hanzhang went to Neijiang was during the Anti-Japanese War.At that time, the National General Mobilization Conference of the Nationalist Government and several economic monitoring brigades had just been established. Sichuan had three brigades and one directly affiliated detachment. Each of the three companies and the secretary occupies one, and the following large and small positions are also divided equally among the three companies.Because the Economic Inspection Brigade specializes in investigating cases of hoarding and high prices, and involves people who are usually prestigious in the local area, it is not easy to carry out the work.In particular, the Third Economic Inspection Brigade has jurisdiction over not only salt from Zigong, but also sugar from Neijiang, coal from Weiyuan, cotton from Rongxian, and grain from Fushun, all of which are necessities for people's livelihood in the rear.However, after the Third Economic Brigade built its office in Fuxi Park, Zigong City, it was unable to carry out work at all. Among other things, even the notices were torn off after they were posted.Captain Liu of this brigade is a member of the Central Committee, and in desperation he returned to the headquarters to complain.The headquarters analyzed the reasons and believed that his main problem was that he had not properly handled the relationship with the local Gelao Association.So, Li Hanzhang went to Neijiang as a commissioner, and helped Captain Liu open up the door of the Gelaohui in the entire jurisdiction through the chief rudder of more than 20 officials of the Sichuanzhong Gelaohui.People in the rivers and lakes cannot talk about things without the rivers and lakes.So that trip to Neijiang allowed Li Hanzhang to know the geographical situation of this small town like the palm of his hand.Of course, Li Hanzhang gained the most from his trip to Neijiang from the Central Unification Headquarters: Although the Economic Inspection Brigade is under the direct control of the National General Mobilization Conference, when the Economic Inspection Brigade submits intelligence and statistical materials, it always sends a copy to the Central Unification , and some important materials are even only given to the Central Committee, not to the national general mobilization meeting.Therefore, Li Hanzhang was greatly appreciated by the headquarters. After the Anti-Japanese War, he was able to stay in Chongqing without moving back to Nanjing with the headquarters, and he also benefited from that action.

Compared with his previous days in Chongqing, Li Hanzhang felt that he had become blind and deaf.At that time, in such a large place across the country, a large amount of various information was gathered to the Chongqing Party Headquarters every day, and he could say that he knew everything about the current situation in the world.But now, it has become very difficult to even get a little information about the two former subordinates Jiang Huiqi and Zhou Yungang. Li Hanzhang was not worried about Jiang Huiqi.Jiang Huiqi is dull on the outside but smart on the inside. It is not difficult to avoid the Communist Party's arrest.What Li Hanzhang is worried about is Zhou Yungang, a grumpy Sichuan man with only one tendon from head to toe. As long as he knows the way, he never knows how to beat around the bush. ...Thinking of this, Li Hanzhang felt a little regretful.At the beginning, Zhou Yungang should have been allowed to go on the road with him, or Zhou Yungang and Jiang Huiqi should have been allowed to go together, so that there would be a support.But it's too late to say anything now.

"Brother, Neijiang is coming soon." Li Hanzhang was thinking about Jiang Huiqi and Zhou Yungang while riding on the mule, and the tall and thin "bamboo pole" reined in and said to him. "Well, it's still the old rule, find a quieter place to live." Li Hanzhang came back to his senses, and answered him.He raised his eyes and looked, Neijiang City surrounded by the Tuojiang River was really far away. Li Hanzhang originally thought that Master Chun was just the helm of a small Longquanyi elder brother's club. He said that he would send himself out of his territory, at most to the boundary of Jianyang County.Unexpectedly, he actually underestimated Master Chun's sphere of influence, all the way here, the four attendants have no intention of going back to return.Li Hanzhang secretly felt ashamed: for the convenience of his work, he joined the Youth Gang and the Gelaohui more than ten years ago, thinking that he knew these organizations very well.But I don't want to, the rules of the world are made by people after all, people are changing, and some invisible rules are also changing.What I understand are those that remain unchanged, but I may not be clear about what changes from time to time.For example, in the place that this road passes, the local Gelaohui has its own unique set of contact methods, which is the same as the previous official station. The bamboo poles connected will go to the front station in advance.When these "follow-up troops" arrived, Zhugan was already waiting by the roadside with a smile on his face, having settled everything properly.Keep going, and there is no trouble at all.

A Jianghu organization can last for hundreds of years. If it really sticks to the old rules and remains unchanged, how can it go through so many dynasties?Thinking about it this way, Li Hanzhang understood why a young man who cleared the way allowed him to cross the state and counties safely, from Longquanyi near Chengdu all the way to Neijiang.He touched the certificate he carried next to him, and laughed to himself: Before leaving Chengdu, he spent so much effort to get this "talisman", but it never came in handy! How big is the sphere of influence of Master Chun, the helmsman?How long can these four temporary followers follow me?

Li Hanzhang thought that it would be great if he could pass through Lu County, go out of Sichuan via Xuyong, and then send himself all the way to Kunming.He wanted to return to his thoughts, but he couldn't say it, let alone ask Zhugan and them.Isn't it just Browning's friendship?It is already the utmost benevolence for Mr. Chun to treat him like this. If he asks again, wouldn't it appear that he is too heartless? That night, Zhugan found an inn on the East Street inside the Great East Gate of Neijiang City.Although the inn is nestled in a small alley, it has a very auspicious name called "Fuxishun".After a day's journey, people were tired and mules were exhausted. As in the previous few days, a few people had a meal without talking much, and then went to rest early.Li Hanzhang also paid more attention to the surrounding terrain on the way into the inn. After dinner, he walked around the inn again before returning to the room Zhugan had reserved for him.

The guest room arrangement was the same as the first day, Li Hanzhang still lived in a single room, and the four of them were divided into two groups to live on the left and right sides of Li Hanzhang.Along the way, bamboo poles were arranged like this every time they stayed in a place. It seemed that bamboo poles were the little leaders of these four people.Thinking of this, Li Hanzhang fell asleep in a daze, but he still maintained his old habit of sleeping with his clothes on and keeping his gun in his hand, and he did not relax his vigilance at all. He was sleeping soundly, when suddenly there was a crisp sound of "pop", Li Hanzhang was awakened.He picked up the Colt pistol deftly, rolled over and sat up. He listened for a while, but there was nothing unusual around him.Li Hanzhang lit the oil lamp on the bedside table, and suddenly saw a dart sticking obliquely on the table. This kind of dart is no stranger to Li Hanzhang, it is a three-edged dart often used by martial arts practitioners, with a pinch of white tassels on the tail.However, what surprised Li Hanzhang was that a piece of randomly folded paper was worn on the dart.He hastily pulled out the dart, and opened the piece of paper—on the paper, there were a few words written in blood: "Dangerous, leave immediately!" Li Hanzhang turned on the light, and took a closer look. This palm-sized piece of paper seemed to be torn from somewhere. It was very irregular. The words on it were obviously written with blood dipped in his fingers. The strokes were intermittent and crooked. incline.Li Hanzhang immediately put the piece of paper on the oil lamp and lit it, and then blew out the oil lamp with a "huh".After waiting for a while, making sure there was nothing unusual, he picked up his shoulder bag and rushed out of the room with a gun in his hand. Regardless of whether the news was true or not, he had to call the bamboo poles living on the left and right sides of his room to get up quickly and leave here overnight with him.Li Hanzhang decided to go to the room on the right where the bamboo poles and flower melons lived. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got out of his door and turned sideways, he found that the doors on the left and right sides were wide open.What happened?Li Hanzhang realized that the problem was more serious than he imagined. He opened the safety of the Colt pistol and entered the room of bamboo poles and flower melons.But the room was so dark that I couldn't see anything! "Brother, brother, bamboo pole!" After shouting twice, Li Hanzhang got anxious and called out the nicknames he had given them. But there was still no movement in the room. Heartbroken, Li Hanzhang took out the matches in his pocket.The moment the fire was shining, Li Hanzhang was stunned: he saw the bamboo pole lying on the bed, the flower melon lying on the ground, and their bodies were covered in blood!Li Hanzhang then went to the room on the left where the wooden pier and the squib lived.Sure enough, those two people had their necks wiped with a knife, just like bamboo poles and flower melons. That bloody note seemed to be a piece of paper that the killer who reminded himself of being in danger tore off at random, and then hurriedly wrote it down with his fingers dipped in the blood of the four followers.Judging by intuition, Li Hanzhang believed that this person took a huge risk to save himself, and he should believe his advice on the note "There is danger, leave immediately"! Almost instantly, Li Hanzhang mobilized all the information stored in his brain about the small city of Neijiang. When entering the city, Li Hanzhang could tell that Neijiang City hadn't changed much in the past few years.Of course, it is impossible to make much change in the pattern of building the city on the Neijiang River: the Tuojiang River flows here and turns a "U"-shaped bend. The land surrounded by the river is like a small peninsula. Surrounded by the "U" on the west bank of the Tuojiang River, this is the name of Neijiang City, and it is destined that Neijiang City will not have much room for expansion.Zhugan arranged for them to stay at the Fuxishun Inn, which is at a corner of East Street in Neijiang City.Li Hanzhang remembers that at the end of the East Street is the Great East Gate of Neijiang City; through this gate, you will reach the riverside; from here, you can cross the river to the east bank of the Tuojiang River. After making a decision, the first thing Li Hanzhang thought of was the mule tethered in the stable at the end of the inn yard.He walked over quickly, followed by the dim light of the wind lantern in the yard, and when he was about to untie the reins of his mule, suddenly, a young man came out from the haystack in the corner of the stable, rubbed his eyes and asked: "Guest officer, what's the matter?" It’s midnight, why are you on the road? The animals haven’t had enough to eat yet. Hey? Don’t you, guest officer, live in a shop with five people? There are four other servants?” Li Hanzhang thought he was the horseman feeding the cattle in this shop, and while untying the reins, he responded: "Oh, they are still sleeping. I went to meet a friend temporarily, so I don't want to disturb their good dreams. It's in the city, Not far, I'll be back in a while." "Neijiang City is a big place. Since the friend you want to see is in the city, why do you want to go there on a mule? Walking around Neijiang City is like eating a bag of cigarettes. Guest officer, I see you Let's go on foot, let this mule eat good fodder, and the guest officer can go on his way tomorrow." The horseman said, reaching out his hand to stop Li Hanzhang. Time was running short, so Li Hanzhang didn't care about chattering with him, he pushed the stable boy back, led the mule out of the stable, and rode on it. "Guest officer, guest officer!" The groom didn't give up, and shouted twice from behind, seeing that Li Hanzhang didn't look back, he suddenly put his finger into his mouth, whistled sharply and loudly, and shouted Said: "Chong Weizi (black words: Fan Qiang, run away)! The man who has to keep a close eye on the tiller has run away..." Immediately, there was a loud noise around the inn, and the flames lit up half the sky. And this shout also awakened Li Hanzhang, reminding him that when the bamboo poles contacted things along the way, he always left him and the other three people far away. Only then did he finally understand: it turned out that this road was a trap set by Master Chun. !From the moment he walked out of Longquanyi, he was already under the surveillance of the Gelaohui. Full of remorse, Li Hanzhang rushed out of the Fuxishun Inn on his mule and ran east along the East Street.Behind him, a group of people lit torches and chased after him chaotically. Neijiang City is indeed very small. Li Hanzhang felt that the East Street had come to an end before the mules in his crotch had spread their hoofs.Strangely, the gate of Dadongmen was wide open, and it was not closed at night.Li Hanzhang didn't think much about it, he whipped his whip a few times, and rode on a mule and quickly passed through the city gate.In front of him was the wharf on the bank of the Tuojiang River, but Li Hanzhang couldn't see if there was a ferry at the wharf. The pursuers got closer and closer, and Li Hanzhang could even clearly see the torches shining down on the gate tower of Dadongmen. Li Hanzhang rode a mule and stood at the pier of the Tuojiang River, behind him was the dark and rough Tuojiang River, and in front of him were pursuers like locusts. "Is this the place where I, Li Hanzhang, will be buried?" Just when Li Hanzhang thought he had no way to go to heaven and nowhere to go down to earth, suddenly, a burst of gunshots rang out, forcing those who were chasing Li Hanzhang to run back and throw away their torches.It was the sound of violent carbine fire, and Li Hanzhang was very familiar with it.After the gunshots, there was a dead silence on the banks of the Tuojiang River in the deep winter, making this desolate cold night even more bleak. It must be the person who reported to him, still secretly protecting himself.But who is this person? Without thinking too much, Li Hanzhang rode on a mule, looking for a ferry around the pier: he must cross the Tuojiang River as soon as possible!Only when you reach the other side of the river will you be safe.Fortunately, there is no such thing as a road, and he found a boat on the pier.However, before he jumped off the mule to pick up the cable, he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him: "Director Li, oh, I should call you Bandit Li now. Farewell to the bamboo forest, I haven't seen you for a long time!" It was Goupide's voice! Before Li Hanzhang could react, a group of people seemed to emerge from the ground and surrounded Li Hanzhang.Just when Goupide's men lit the torches, Li Hanzhang had already calmed down, and quickly moved to the highest point on the river bank on a mule. He drew out the Colt pistol at his waist like lightning, and at the same time took the other revolver in his hands. hand. A person and a group of people confront each other like this. Even if each person has only one gun in his hand, the guns of all the people on the riverside together can be regarded as a small ammunition depot.It was a dry day, but the cold wind was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. It seemed that a cough could become a kindling, igniting an ammunition depot. However, no one coughed, and what broke the silence was the soothing sound of horseshoes.A man rode a white horse out of the crowd and stood in front of Li Hanzhang. Under the light of the torch, Li Hanzhang first saw a mustache, and then he saw clearly a face with a gourd hanging upside down.I thought to myself: Master Chun and Gou Peide are indeed in the same group! Li Hanzhang looked at Master Chun, then at Gou Peide, and suddenly remembered two identical faces: the thin woman sitting at the door of Longquanyi Inn, and the thin woman sitting in Gou Peide's car.Thinking about the words of Li Zhuanyun, the shop boy, Li Hanzhang knew that Master Chun was completely aware of this woman's background, and knew that she was once Gou Peide's wife... Thinking of this, Li Hanzhang "hummed". Master Chun heard Li Hanzhang hum, cupped his hands, and said to him, "Brother, don't blame me for not following the moral rules. Vice Captain Gou recognized the boar when he arrived at Longquan Station yesterday. Lang Ning. My brother, I had no choice but to bring him here and invite you back. Deputy Gou said, Director Zhang Zhenzhong of the Military Control Commission is still waiting for you in Chengdu." Taking advantage of Master Chun's speech, Li Hanzhang quickly scanned the group of people surrounding him.Under the light of the torch, Li Hanzhang saw that there were nearly twenty people around him. Although each of them was riding a horse, the weapons in their hands were made in Hanyang, some were old men, and some were pouting handles. There are also old guns; the clothes are also varied, but they are all dressed up by men on Chuanbazi.From the weapons and clothes they used, Li Hanzhang immediately judged that these were all under Master Chun's men, not the communist army brought by Gou Peide. "Li Hanzhang, you are surrounded, why don't you hand over the guy and surrender obediently?! The two of us should settle the account in the bamboo forest of Longquan Station. But, at any rate, you used to be my Shangfeng, as long as you obediently now Come back to Chengdu with me, and I promise you won’t make things difficult for you.” Even though Gou Peide was also riding a horse, he was very aware of Li Hanzhang’s skill, even if he shot immediately, Li Hanzhang might knock him down before the moment.What's more, Li Hanzhang has already seized the favorable terrain. In a real fight, not only is he highly mobile, but he also has the advantage of being commanding.Therefore, Gou Peide held the Browning in his hand, stared intently at Li Hanzhang's head, and said something that was strong in the outside world, while pulling the reins together, and hid behind the others. "The surname is Gou, I will settle the account with you sooner or later!" Li Hanzhang replied to Gou Peide, and then turned his attention to Master Chun, "Brother, Li, thanks to the brothers you sent these days Take care, I have always been grateful. But I really didn't expect that you were the one who set up the eyeliner along the way. My every move did not escape your palm. I also blame Li for trusting Brother Pao too much "The old saying, I believe too much in the "five morals and eight virtues" that Brother Pao's family pays attention to. Thinking about Master Chun, as the helmsman, he will not forget all the rules of Brother Pao's family, right? I am not afraid of the "three swords" of brothers on the road in the future. Six eyes' against you? Today is..." "Brother, brother, this is also out of helplessness. Things have come to this point, brother, let's tell the truth. From the first time we met in Longquanyi, the heroic demeanor of brother has put brother I was stunned. Brother, you sit there, raise your hand, raise your eyebrows, brother, I can see that you are definitely a big shot, otherwise, why would Xiaoer throw a piece of money to run away as soon as you make a move? Money? You know, the Military Control Commission has long banned private individuals from carrying gold and silver, and transactions must be done in Renminbi. At this time, only the dignitaries under Lao Jiang’s subordinates would dare to take pictures of the ocean in front of strangers.” Master Chun was also very happy. Seeing Li Hanzhang blackmailing him with the Taoist rules of Brother Pao, he simply told the truth, "...Brother, you said it yourself, you are 'avoiding luxury'. So, I immediately concluded that you are definitely not Brother Pao, who is usually in small business, not to mention that you shot a Browning. I was sure that you were a "big fish" from the national army at the time, but I didn't know how big your "fish" was, so I had to give it back You mule, and then sent four brothers to "escort you all the way". Originally, you wanted to wait for those four brothers to find out your details before collecting the net, but you didn't reveal any useful information along the way. I personally didn’t dare to act rashly after I saw that you had the roads to and from Chengdu and Kunming opened by the Military Control Commission. But the guns and silver dollar cash you carried on your body are still more interesting to me, brother. I didn’t expect that Deputy Gou came here, and I finally realized that you are actually the “big fish” that Zhang Zhenzhong, Director Zhang always wanted to catch, so, before the Deputy Gou dispatched you When someone came, I immediately brought my brothers and the deputy Gou team together, regardless of day or night, to invite my brother back..." Hearing Master Chun's words, Li Hanzhang realized that he was in danger all the time along the way, and the four of them, Bamboo Pole, had already touched everything he was carrying.Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, and raised his voice and said to Master Chun: "It's a shame that I still respect and trust you according to the etiquette of Brother Pao's family. Aren't you afraid that your comrades will 'short profit' (in slang: cut off your tongue) and 'wear red shoes' (in slang: kill without mercy) in the future?" After hearing this, Master Chun immediately cupped his hands and said, "Brother, I admire you as a hero of Brother Pao's family, but I also have to think about my subordinates. It's a new society now, since I went back to Chengdu and listened to Zhang Zhenzhong After Director Zhang's lecture, I decided to obey the leadership of the military control committee and lead my subordinates to accept the transformation of the military control committee. So, brother, I'm sorry, I have to agree with you on how to treat you. Team Gou cooperates." At this time, Gou Peide had quietly retreated to a safe place, probably no longer wanting to listen to these conversations mixed with Brother Pao's incisions, and impatiently waved Browning in his hand and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense to him, brothers, you still have to talk to him." Take him down without a fight!" The gang of mobs surrounding Li Hanzhang heard Gou Peide's words, but all looked at Master Chun.They are Master Chun's people, Gou Peide's words are not good for them. Master Chun wiped his mustache, and said to Gou Peide: "Deputy Gou, this is my territory, my people. What to do is our own business, Brother Pao, outsiders should not mess around Good to intervene." "My surname is Gou, I'm afraid you can't wait to catch me so you can claim credit for it?" Li Hanzhang held two pistols in both hands, and said to Master Chun, "Brother, no matter what your intentions are, after all these days God is that the mule you sent me saved my legs, and your four brothers also saved me a lot of trouble along the way. They are all Pao brothers. Which brothers don’t have wives and children? I don’t want to hurt the kindness of my brothers. Besides, Just you gang of 'fighting bench feet' (colloquial words: sporadic remnants), you actually want to catch me? Then ask me about the gun in my hand first!" When Master Chun heard this, he seemed to feel insulted, "Hehe" sneered, cupped his hands and said, "Brother, since you've talked all about this, don't blame me for being ruthless." After finishing speaking, he put his finger in his mouth like the stable boy in the inn just now, and let out a long whistle with a "shh".Immediately afterwards, Li Hanzhang heard a strange whimper suddenly sounded from behind him.With a glance from the corner of his eye, Li Hanzhang knew that they were the ones who had been crushed by the two shuttle bullets just now. They walked out of the city gate while talking, and surrounded him from behind. "Hey... Li, don't say you're riding a mule this time, even if you're riding a dragon, I'm afraid you won't be able to run away!" Seeing that Li Hanzhang was single-handedly facing the enemy, Gou Peide immediately came to him as if he had smoked opium. With the spirit, shake the rein, and you will rush forward. Master Chun probably didn't want to be robbed of his success, so he also pulled out a big belly box from his waist, intending to knock down Li Hanzhang.Unexpectedly, before his pistol was pulled out of the holster, there was a "snap" sound, and a shot came from nowhere in the darkness, hitting Master Chun's forehead. The shot came strangely, and the crowd fell silent again in an instant.In the light of the fire, there was only a "gudong" sound, Master Chun fell off the horse, kicked his legs a few times, and then stopped moving. Seeing that the tiller had fallen, the "cavalry" in front of Li Hanzhang and the "infantry" in the back suddenly lost their backbone. Some shouted to come up for revenge, and some shouted to escape, and the formation was lost in chaos.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Hanzhang held two guns, bowed left and right, shot a beautiful burst, and six or seven minions fell off the horse one after another before they could stare over. When Li Hanzhang was concentrating on dealing with the "bucket bench feet" in front, suddenly another round of carbine bullets shot from behind him, and immediately after that, the group of people who wanted to come up from behind to outflank him also lost their positions. In a panic, Gou Peide shouted: "Brothers, don't be afraid, Li is the only one! Go up and catch the living!" After shouting this sentence, he pulled up the reins and retreated along the river bank. Dark places where torches cannot reach. The tiller died, and in the blink of an eye six or seven more brothers met Hades. The mob threw torches one after another, those on horseback reined in, and those without horses ran away, each fleeing for his life. Li Hanzhang saw that the gang of soldiers and crabs were only running for their lives, so he went to look for Gou Peide with his eyes wide open.But he galloped back and forth several times on his mule, but found no sign of Goupide.It seems that this kid realized that the situation was not good, and he also slipped away with the group. At this time, Li Hanzhang was only able to look for the person who had secretly rescued him twice. Judging by his feeling and gunshots, Li Hanzhang felt that this person was the one who saved him at Longquanyi.But when he rode a mule and turned into East Main Street, he only found a dozen corpses lying in disorder at the gate of the city and in the streets and alleys. The people seemed to have evaporated from this street, no matter how hard Li Hanzhang searched, he couldn't find any trace.Last time in the bamboo grove, he found a few bullet casings, but this time, he searched back and forth carefully several times, but he didn't even find a single carbine casing. Where did this good brother hide and shoot?Since he couldn't find it, Li Hanzhang left the city dejectedly, ready to cross the river. Li Hanzhang understood that Neijiang could not stay for long, and he had to leave here quickly.Judging from the current situation, I passed Jianyang, Ziyang, and Zizhong along the way, and went down the Tuojiang River. Now if I go out of Sichuan to Bijie through the scheduled Luxian and Xuyong along the Tuojiang River, it is obviously very dangerous.Gou Peide, and even Director Zhang, who is far away in Chengdu, may notify the PLA checkpoints along the way at any time to intercept him. After quickly analyzing his current situation, Li Hanzhang decided: first cross the river from this wharf, what to do next, and let's talk about it when we get to a safe zone after crossing the river!
