Zhou Sen, Ando Shenghou and Anna were invited to the private room on the second floor of Fuyuan Restaurant. The leftovers were removed and a new table was served.
The guests were naturally the branch chief Sato and Ono.
Zuo Teng thought Zhou Sen was Japanese and kept toasting. He didn't deny it, and Ono didn't explain it. The Jie Feng lunch was quite enjoyable.
After dinner, Zuo Teng arranged for everyone to stay at the best hotel in Fuyuan County. For safety reasons, he also invited other guests away.
They won't be able to stay in Fuyuan for long. It is estimated that they will set off back to Bingcheng soon.
Before eating, Ono had already sent a telegram to Shibuya Saburo in Bingcheng. When Shibuya Saburo received the telegram, he was naturally overjoyed. Although this contribution cannot be clearly stated, it is enough to stabilize his current position.
After all, the "Northern Advance" faction within the Kwantung Army has lost power, and even Michutaro Komatsubara, the commander of the 23rd Division, a backbone of the "Northern Advance" faction, has committed seppuku.
Those of them who actively advocate the "Northern Expansion" will definitely be affected or even liquidated, and their political future will be worrying.
If he can make up for it in other areas, it will undoubtedly be a life-saving straw for him.
If he hadn't been unable to escape, he would have wanted to run to Fuyuan himself and take Ando Shenghou back.
"Mr. Zhou Sen, Commander Shibuya hopes that we can leave as soon as possible. Do you need to rest for a few days?" Ono took the telegram from Saburo Shibuya to see Zhou Sen.
"I'm fine and ready to go at any time, but you have to ask Ando-kun if he needs a break." Zhou Sen said casually, but he had already returned home.
"Okay, you saw the request in Chief Shibuya's telegram, please take your time." Ono bowed solemnly.
Ranwen
"Don't worry, I will write the report. This is what I should do."
After entering Manchuria, Zhou Sen and Anna were no longer in a "husband and wife" relationship. They naturally shared a room in the hotel.
Independent of each other.
Krasnov and the others wanted to go out for a walk and ask Zhou Sen to come with them, but he didn't want to move at all and declined directly.
He wanted to stay alone in the hotel and think about how to write this report, and how he should face Bai Yulan this time when he went back.
She must be resentful of herself. She left for more than half a year without a single message coming back. It would be better for such a man to die outside.
Stop thinking so much. If she wants to be beaten or punished, it’s up to her!
He didn't sleep much that night, so Zhou Sen fell asleep.
After sleeping until Anna came knocking on the door to ask him for dinner, he realized that it was already dark outside. Four or five hours had passed.
In the evening, Zuo Teng Shaozuo didn't come, so Ono was alone. The sumptuousness of dinner was slightly less than that at noon.
Adjutant Ono toasted frequently, and Zhou Sen also drank a lot.
Finally, he was helped into the house by Anna and Klas.
From Fuyuan to JMS, it is naturally the most comfortable to take the waterway, and it is from top to bottom, flowing along the water, which saves a lot of effort, but it is not so time-friendly.
"Take a car, why? We have a boat?" Zhou Sen also wanted to go back comfortably by boat. Whether by car or horseback, it was really a tiring thing.
"There is a guy named Zheng Sanpao in Xifengzuizi. This guy has more than 200 people under his command. It is very difficult to deal with. If we take a boat, we will definitely pass there, and the water channel there is very winding. Our boat It will definitely not be faster..." Ono explained.
"But what about our ship?"
"The ship can be sold at a discount, as long as you won't suffer any loss. We will take the land route, and Director Sato will dispatch a garrison to escort us."
"What about Director Sato?"
"He will stay in Fuyuan to organize the next phase of the crusade. This is not something we have to worry about." Ono said.
"Okay, I'll obey the command, but it's too uncomfortable to ride in a car. Can you get me a horse? I'll ride a horse." Zhou Sen said, instead of sitting in a bumpy car, it would be more enjoyable to ride a horse.
"Okay, this is not difficult. Anyway, you can ride a horse or take a car if you want." Ono readily agreed. This request was not excessive at all.
In fact, the waterway might be a little safer. As for the land route, it's hard to say. Zhou Sen didn't want to remind him anything.
We’ve come to this point anyway, there’s no need.
There is no difference between land and water to him.
Zhou Sen and Anna both carried weapons with them, and these were naturally returned to them. As for Kraslov and the others, Zhou Sen asked Ono to prepare a rifle and thirty rounds of ammunition for him. As for Rudolf, he did not give any. He fired the gun, but got him a short knife for self-defense.
As for Yin Funa and Little Barlow, they definitely don't need weapons.
Ando Morihou got nothing but a side gun, which was naturally a tortoise box. His side gun and saber had long since become trophies of the Soviet army.
I probably won't be able to get it back in this life.
There were too few Japanese horses, so Ono got a pack horse for Zhou Sen. It should be a Mongolian horse, and it looked pretty good.
Of course, Zhou Sen couldn't tell with his poor horsemanship, but Ono said that Zuotou found this for him. Although it can't be compared with a war horse, it can be used for traveling and carrying heavy loads, so there is absolutely no problem. .
Although we were on a highway, the conditions of the highway were just like that. The speed of the car was 30 to 40 miles per hour, which was pretty good.
Therefore, riding a horse can completely keep up.
Motorcycles opened the way, two Mitsubishi 2.5-ton trucks, and then a small team of cavalry. The entire team numbered seventy or eighty people.
Zuo Teng Shaozuo still attaches great importance to the mission of escorting them to JMS.
With so many Japanese cavalry and trucks, it is really hard to say whether they will become targets of the resistance forces.
Zhou se rode a horse and followed the Japanese cavalry in a light and simple manner.
There shouldn't be any problems when you just leave the city, so don't be so vigilant until you enter the mountainous area, where there are few people and dense forests.
Then you have to be careful. This is not a town node, and there are often gangsters. But looking at their team, there should not be many gangsters who dare to stroke the tiger's beard.
But if it's the desperate resistance team, it's hard to say. However, they have flexible tactics and generally won't fight head-on.
To be honest, Zhou Sen really didn't want to encounter it. It would be easier if his team could eat the Japanese army. The problem is that if it can't eat it, the anti-alliance forces will be unlucky. Their equipment and supplies are too poor. , he really doesn’t want to sacrifice his anti-Union warriors in vain.
Now every soldier is a force to resist Japan. As long as it can be preserved, it is a kind of fire.
Perhaps it was Zhou Sen's prayers that had an effect. The journey went smoothly without any danger or trouble.
Three days later, they arrived at JMS successfully.
After resting for a night at JMS, they boarded the Manchurian train from JMS to Ice City early the next morning.
If nothing else happens, they will arrive at Ice City later.
It was early March when he left Bingcheng for special training in Yifanpo, and now it is early October. Counting it all, it has been almost seven months since he left Bingcheng.
Since being adopted by Anthony's father, this is the first time he has traveled so far away, and the first time he has been away from home for such a long time.
Zhou Sen and others were arranged to sit in the best carriage, with velvet seats, carpets under their feet, seats that could be reclined, and heating in the carriage.
Of course, the fare for such a luxurious carriage is not cheap, but he doesn't have to pay for it, so he can enjoy it with peace of mind.
Snow has begun to fall outside. It snowed a little earlier in the Northeast this year, but it is not the earliest. In previous years, it snowed in September.
It's early October and snowing is normal.
The snow is not heavy, it should be the first snow in early winter. After this snowfall, the weather will probably get colder.
There is heating in the carriage, so you only need to wear a coat with a shirt underneath. You must wear a coat or cotton-padded coat when going out.
"Master, when you return to Bingcheng, should you go home first, or go to Boss Bai's place first?" Anna sat across from Zhou Sen. She held a cup of hot coffee in her hand, gently touched Zhou Sen's hand, and asked road.
"Go home first."
"I rented a house in Bingcheng and left early. I have no place to live. Otherwise, how about I stay at your house for one night?"
"Live, no problem, you can even stay for as long as you want, as long as you pay the rent." Zhou Sen said with squinted eyes.
"Stingy, just based on our relationship, I live in your house, you can still charge me money?" Anna said with a blank look at Zhou Sen.
"I'm not related to you, why should I let you live in vain?"
"Okay, I'll give it to you, but give me a fair price for yours." Anna said angrily.
"Okay, I'll give you 20% off the market price. Just go to the Ningxiang Pavilion to pay Boss Bai automatically every month. Of course, you can also give it a few more months at a time, saving you money on running around every month. Go." Zhou Sen said.
"If I don't give this money to you, why should I give it to her?"
"In our family, Boss Bai is in charge of the money."
"What about the Krasnov family? How do you plan to arrange it for them?" Anna asked.
"Live at home. Kraslov is a member of the family. Isn't it normal for him to live at home?" Zhou Sen said.
"There are only so many rooms in the house. The Krasnovs are staying here. Where should I live?"
"Yes, there is only one guest room left downstairs. How can you live there with so many people?" Zhou Sen remembered that the room upstairs belonged to him and Anthony's father. It would rather be empty than inhabited.
There are quite a lot of rooms in the Ningxiang Pavilion, but Anna and Krasnov have sensitive identities, so it is definitely not suitable to live there.
After thinking about it, there was another place, and that was Serkin's small building. The landlord couldn't rent it out after someone died. Zhou Sen bought the house at a very low price. He originally planned to give it to Jiang Rou prepared it.
Jiang Rou moved into Ningxiang Hall and was fine, but she didn't want to move.
"I'll arrange for them to live in Serkin's small building. There are several rooms upstairs and downstairs there. The space is large. You can live there too," Zhou Sen said.
"I won't go!" Anna refused immediately. She was afraid that she would not be able to sleep at night if she lived in that place.
"what ever."
Zhou Sen leaned against the window, closed his eyes and fell asleep. He was about to meet Bai Yulan, and he hadn't thought about what to say in the first sentence when they met.
