Seeing Jackie Chan, Major Xiaoqiu's attitude completely softened, and he also expressed his willingness to cooperate with the imperial army. He only asked that the trapped people be released. It seems that he is still eager to save people!
But he absolutely cannot let him go now, not to mention even if he says so, as for Jackie Chan, he still has to control him under his nose to feel at ease, even though this person is very dangerous and difficult to control.
Xiaoqiu stood up gently. He wanted to take Yu Chenglong away and prepare to control him. Although he was ordered to stabilize Yu Chenglong first, he still had many things to do and could not keep chatting with him. .
"Don't worry, if all the people who were arrested cannot be released, I will not leave Qinghe County. I stand upright with Jackie Chan. I will do what I say and will never break my promise!"
Yu Chenglong took another sip of the tea that Wu Baochuan had just refilled, saying that he would not leave here with Xiaoqiu. He knew that Xiaoqiu would not have any good intentions, and going to the police station would definitely not be more conducive to negotiations than here.
"There is also a safe place to live in the county house, so there is no danger for Senator Yu to live here."
Song Dali begged Xiaoqiu as if to please. He is also weighing the pros and cons. Being able to keep Yu Chenglong in the county compound can also show the importance of his status. Otherwise, no matter what terms they negotiate, they will have nothing to do with him.
More importantly, he should please Yu Chenglong, not only because he admires his ability, but also because he wants to leave some good impression on Yu Chenglong. What he is afraid of is that Yu Chenglong and his Holy Order will come to trouble him.
Although these Holy Associations did not dare to do anything to the Japanese Imperial Army, they were more than capable of causing trouble for themselves. What's more, Yu Chenglong didn't know what kind of talks he could have with the Japanese, so it was better to be careful.
"Okay, let's go take a look. We must absolutely ensure the safety of the counselor. Friends of the Imperial Japanese Army cannot neglect it!"
Xiaoqiu happily agreed to Song Dali's suggestion and motioned to Song Dali to lead the way. So Wu Baochuan went in front, Song Dali and Xiaoqiu followed Yu Jackie Chan later, and two Japanese soldiers who had recovered their breath followed behind with guns in hand.
Leaving the reception hall of the county government, we came to a small independent courtyard near the wall of the county government. There were only two huts in the courtyard, and a small window facing south was equipped with an iron fence.
This may be a place where the county government temporarily detains criminals, or a temporary shelter. The building of the hut is sturdy, and there is an electric grid on the low courtyard wall, so it is indeed very safe.
There is also an iron bed and well-furnished furniture in the room, which is in line with Jackie Chan's current status. It's just that this room is still not very clean. It's probably that no one has lived in it for a long time.
"It's very good and safe here. Counselor Yu, please stay here temporarily."
After Xiaoqiu finished speaking, he said goodbye to Yu Chenglong and walked out. The two Japanese soldiers who followed him stayed outside the hut door to guard. County Magistrate Song Dali didn't want to stay any longer and stretched out his hand to say goodbye to Jackie Chan.
"Senior Yu, take a rest first, I'll arrange the meal, and then I'll come with you."
After Song Dali finished speaking, he also walked out of the hut, but Wu Baochuan didn't want to accompany Yu Chenglong anymore. He was afraid that Yu Chenglong would take him as a hostage, because he was far from Yu Chenglong's opponent, so it would be better to exit as soon as possible.
"I also have some business matters, so Senator Yu will take a rest by himself first. I will send someone to attend to Senator Yu later."
Yu Chenglong was the only one left in the house. He took a look at the layout of the hut, then looked up and looked outside. Then he lay on the bed with his clothes on and fell asleep in a daze. He didn't even open his eyes to take a look when someone came to bring him water. , he was a little tired and a little hungry.
It wasn't until the sun was about to set that Song Dali, Wu Baochuan and Xiaoqiu arrived one after another and asked people to serve food. At this time, Yu Chenglong was already very hungry, so he ate something before entering Qinghe County.
"I'm too busy with official duties, so I've only come to accompany Yu Gao Shen now. Please forgive me. Are you hungry? Let's talk while we eat. Please take a seat!"
Song Dali seemed very polite, but Yu Chenglong was not polite. He straightened his clothes and sat in the right seat. Song Dali and Xiaoqiu were with Jackie Chan, while Wu Baochuan sat opposite.
"Senator Yu came to this county, and it was a tiring journey. I, Mr. Song, Major Xiaoqiu of the Imperial Army, and Counselor Wu worked together to take care of Senator Yu. I hope that Senator Yu will eat well and have a good rest."
Song Dali spoke first, while Xiaoqiu said hello to Jackie Chan as soon as he entered the room. The Japanese major officer looked a little aloof and did not raise his glass until the food and wine were completely set.
"Mr. Yu's initiative to cooperate with the imperial army this time is greatly praised by the agency headquarters. As entrusted by General Benjilang, I would like to offer the counselor a glass of wine and keep you company."
Xiaoqiu said, stood up and bowed, and wanted to clink glasses with Yu Chenglong alone. This may be the etiquette of their nation. Yu Chenglong didn't really care about it, but what he cared about was what Xiaoqiu was thinking about at the moment.
"I'm not here to drink. My request must be agreed to as soon as possible. This is the prerequisite for us to cooperate again."
Yu Chenglong did not take the initiative to respond to Xiaoqiu, but sat still. He wanted to figure out Xiaoqiu's thoughts at the moment, judge the current situation, and when the person who could influence the situation would appear, because Yu Chenglong was anxious.
But no matter what, Yu Chenglong's idea of rescuing the villagers will not change, and he also hopes to achieve it as soon as possible. As for his own safety, it doesn't matter. As long as he can achieve his goal, it is worth suffering some pain.
Under the current situation, Little Japan dare not do anything to themselves. Although they hate themselves deeply, they will also put the overall situation first and will not kill themselves for the time being, because they have a deeper purpose.
Therefore, Yu Chenglong did not respond to Xiaoqiu, but had an indifferent attitude. This, of course, made Xiaoqiu very unhappy. He stood stiffly on the spot with a displeased expression on his face. Song Dali, who was sitting on the side, saw this and hurriedly helped to smooth things over.
"Everything is negotiable. Major has already reported it to his superiors. Just wait for the good news."
Song Dali spoke to the side, which neither helped Xiaoqiu calm down nor comforted Jackie Chan. On the contrary, it made Xiaoqiu even more unhappy. However, he thought twice and still held back his anger.
"The ringleader of the mob must be punished, and the other coercers can publicly plead guilty and go home. This is the face given to the counselor by the imperial army, so we can finally cooperate, right?"
Xiaoqiu looked at Yu Chenglong and finally told him the bottom line he had received from his superiors. Although this may not be the final concession, it at least shows that the Japanese can still have room for compromise on this matter.
However, this was far from reaching Jackie Chan's request. He knew that the Japanese would not let him go, and the minimum solution was to put him under house arrest in order to control the Manchurian National Salvation Army and the Holy Association.
