Macheng to Hefei is nearly 300 kilometers.
In Meng Shaoyuan's time, it would have taken more than four hours by car at a slower pace.
But in this era, it's very different.
There is no such thing as high speed.
Many of the roads are rough and difficult to navigate.
Can't pick up the speed at all.
It lasted until the afternoon and everyone stopped to rest.
Yu Zidun directed people to take out gasoline from the trunk and refuel the car.
The spare car also carried a large amount of gasoline.
After resting there for about ten minutes, and just about to set off, Xu Zhu suddenly held his stomach and said, "Ouch, my stomach hurts. I have to go to the hut again."
"Get out, get out." Meng Shaoyuan cursed several times angrily.
In the movies and TV shows I have watched, when a scene like this appears, nine out of ten people who complain of stomachache are ready to leave some intelligence clues.
But in this barren mountain, even leaving clues would be of no use.
Everyone who had just gotten on the bus got off.
"No." Yu Zidun suddenly said: "There, on the left front, there seemed to be a figure that moved just now."
"Really?" Meng Shaoyuan raised his hand to block the afternoon sun: "It's at least a hundred meters."
"real."
Yu Zidun nodded vigorously: "I have very good eyesight, so I can't see anything wrong."
"Is there anyone hiding in a place like this?" Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "It seems that my whereabouts have indeed been leaked. Gan Ning, Yu Zidun."
"arrive!"
"Wait for Xu Zhu in a while, have you seen it there?" Meng Shaoyuan said in a low voice: "There is a blind spot for observation. Get off the bus there quickly, then quietly surround me and bring me here."
"clear!"
Xu Zhu was healed at this time and came over feeling very comfortable: "I'm healed."
"Okay!" Meng Shaoyuan gave a thumbs up: "Xu Zhu, you do a good job of pooping!"
Xu Zhu was stunned.
what?
What's wrong with Meng Shaoyuan?
…
Meng Shaoyuan sat there and lit a cigarette.
Take a puff of cigarette, drink some water, and enjoy yourself.
After waiting there for a long time, he saw Yu Zidun and Xu Zhu walking towards here carrying a guy. Gan Ning had a gun in one hand and an empty birdcage in the other.
Blood everywhere.
The guy's leg was injured.
Arriving in front of him, as soon as Yu Zidun and Xu Zhu let go, the man screamed and fell to the ground.
Gan Ning stepped forward and kicked him: "This guy is very smart. When we arrived, he just released two pigeons. He ran away as soon as he saw something wrong. Good guy, he ran really fast. There was nothing I could do about it. I just shot him."
Meng Shaoyuan took a branch and stood up, walked to the man and squatted down, smiled, and then stabbed the branch into the man's wound.
The shrill screams soon sounded.
"Spare your life, spare your life, I say it all, I say it all."
"Quite clever." Meng Shaoyuan stopped and said, "Go ahead."
"I am Niu Baohai's subordinate. I am Niu Baohai from Gongji Mountain. I am a big bandit. I have about a hundred people under me." This man didn't need to ask. He said it all himself:
"Niu Baohai summoned us the night before yesterday and said that a big fat sheep would pass through Rooster Mountain. As long as we kill this big fat sheep, everyone will get rich. I was sent here to monitor the convoy very early. Once the whereabouts of the convoy are discovered, ah, a total of Four cars immediately sent out two pigeons to call the police. There is a section of road ahead that is particularly difficult to drive, and the pigeons have already flown there when you passed by. Then Niu Baohai will be thirty miles ahead, waiting to attack you."
Meng Shaoyuan's face didn't look good.
The night before yesterday? I had just decided to take the land route, but there was already news about a bandit far away? And what's even more terrifying is that he even knows that there are four cars in his fleet!
It can basically be proven that the traitor is beside Dai Li, and he has the means to know a lot of top-secret information.
Meng Shaoyuan looked at this little guy and said, "I'm going to Hefei. Is there any way around it?"
"I know, I know." The young man said hurriedly: "Going from the west, passing through Luojia Town, it is fifty miles farther than your road, but it is safe."
"Okay." Meng Shaoyuan patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work. Someone, send him on his way!"
…
Along the way, Meng Shaoyuan looked very ugly.
"Director Meng." Gan Ning, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said, "Actually, it doesn't matter. People die for money and birds die for food. A bandit like Niu Baohai can get things done with money, but doesn't he always succeed?"
"That's not what I'm worried about." Meng Shaoyuan looked solemn: "Mr. Dai is surrounded by traitors. How far has the Japanese infiltration reached? There is also the killer Liao Yuting. He has never shown his face from beginning to end, but he has been planning continuously. He has been assassinated three times and has so many resources at his disposal. What is this person’s true identity? Is he just a renegade agent? I’m afraid it’s not that simple.”
Originally, in Meng Shaoyuan's plan, he returned to Shanghai from Wuhan and found an opportunity on the way to catch Liao Yuting.
But now it seems to be very troublesome.
Liao Yuting never appeared from beginning to end.
On the "Firebird", Ma Dai was used to assassinate himself.
In the city of Wuhan, an explosion shook the world.
When we got here, we took advantage of the opportunity to fight against the bandit Niu Baohai.
His assassination plans followed one after another, and the cards he played followed one after another.
Not an easy opponent to deal with.
"This person seems to have a lot of power." Meng Shaoyuan murmured: "The identity of the traitor lurking next to Mr. Dai is top secret, but he can actually know it? I think the director of the Japanese secret service in Wuhan doesn't even know."
"We will figure it out eventually." Gan Ning said calmly: "Director Meng, although his assassinations happened one after another, you were able to resolve them every time."
Meng Shaoyuan did not speak.
He is just an ordinary person, a human being, and he will make mistakes. He is the same, and he has made many mistakes. If any mistakes were made before arriving in Shanghai and Liao Yuting caught him, the consequences would be disastrous.
…
After passing Luojia Town and arriving at Fujia Town, it was already dark.
The group of people randomly found a small hotel to stay in the town.
According to Meng Shaoyuan, if there was an assassination, he must not have known that he had temporarily changed his route and made a circle. Fujia Town was safe.
Assuming that the next assassination is coming, it must be in Hefei.
"That's their best and last chance."
When he got up in the morning, Meng Shaoyuan said while eating breakfast: "From Shanghai to Wuhan, and then here, I was chased by him from behind. This cannot continue. I have to end it with him in Hefei."
"clear."
Gan Ning and Xu Zhu said at the same time.
They also started to get excited.
A decisive battle is coming?
Come on then.
Liao Yuting can use any number of methods.
They have always had strong confidence in Meng Shaoyuan. In their opinion, there is no obstacle that Director Meng cannot overcome.
Liao Yuting is powerful, but the opponent he faces is Meng Shaoyuan!
"Gan Ning, you are a smart man, do something for me." Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said a few words.
Gan Ning and Xu Zhu were startled at the same time.
But then Gan Ning nodded immediately.
Director Meng always has his reasons for what he wants to do.
"It's done." Meng Shaoyuan stood up and said, "Let's go!"
Monsters, demons and monsters should all show up in Hefei!
…
Hefei.
A famous ancient city.
When Meng Shaoyuan and his party visited Hefei, this historic city was filled with an atmosphere of panic and uneasiness.
The city gate is bustling with people who want to leave the city.
Nanjing has been occupied, and Hefei and Nanjing are very close to each other.
The Japanese army has invaded Anhui and Hefei, and will soon fall into the flames of war.
It's no longer safe here.
At the city gate, soldiers were shouting loudly.
"Stop, stop!"
A second lieutenant stopped the convoy and said in a stern voice: "Get out of the car and check!"
Meng Shaoyuan and his people got out of the car very obediently.
Gan Ning and Xu Zhu immediately protected him one after another.
"Sir, there are weapons in the car."
The soldier in charge of inspecting the vehicle called out.
With a "swish" sound, the gun was immediately aimed at Meng Shaoyuan and his party.
"Raise your hands, raise your hands, I'll beat you to death!" the second lieutenant pulled out his gun.
"Don't be nervous." Yu Zidun said immediately: "We are one of our own."
"Stop fucking nonsense!" The second lieutenant said without mercy: "Take out all the weapons on your body, don't act rashly, brothers, be ready to shoot!"
Weapons were pulled out.
The second lieutenant was still uneasy and asked someone to check them carefully to make sure there were no more weapons on them. Then he said with a gloomy face, "Who are they? Why are they bringing so many weapons into Hefei?"
"We are under the military command. I'll show you my ID. Don't shoot."
Gan Ning took out his ID from his pocket and handed it to the second lieutenant.
The second lieutenant looked at it very carefully: "There is no problem with the certificate, but I still need to check it. You guys, go over there, put your head in your hands, and squat on the ground!"
The dignified Meng Shaoyuan became a prisoner. He and his men squatted under the corner with their heads in their hands.
"Look at them, I'll make a call. If they dare to escape, shoot immediately and kill without mercy!" the second lieutenant said sternly.
"Damn, that's unreasonable." Xu Zhu couldn't help it anymore: "When this matter is clarified, I will investigate this guy carefully."
"What to do?" Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "There are few of us like this second lieutenant. Think about it, if we are Japanese spies, what's the big deal in making fake documents? The Hefei War is about to begin. , once Japanese spies sneak in and a war breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Don't talk, don't even talk." The soldier responsible for guarding them said sternly.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled and shut his mouth obediently.
After waiting there for fifteen minutes, a car roared towards me. As soon as it stopped, a middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit immediately got out of the car and hurried over: "Who is Mr. Wang?"
"I am, I am here." Meng Shaoyuan raised his hand and said.
"Let go, let go." The middle-aged man separated the soldiers and hurriedly came to him: "Oh, Mr. Wang, I've waited for you. I thought you had an accident on the road."
