Gou Hao and Hu San, together with Li Dequan, dressed up as merchants, drove a few mules, and sneaked into Tengchong City before dark, and settled in Fengxiang Inn.

This is an inn opened by Wang Jincai in private. After the fall of Tengchong, there were fewer merchants and many inns were in business, but Fengxiang Inn was crowded with people.

As long as humans do not eliminate power, they will always exist for personal gain.

Wang Jincai is a Japanese lackey who guards the gates entering and leaving Tengchong City. This is a lot of power. Anyone who is an official basically makes money by doing business. After Wang Jincai became the captain of the Imperial Army, he was even more arrogant than before. Almost all merchants who come and go to and from the city are treated as a protective umbrella. Not only are he convenient to enter and exit the city gate, but he also pays less than the tax and silver less than staying in other inns.

The most important thing is that you are staying in Fengxiang Inn, and you don’t have to worry about being investigated by the Imperial Army in the middle of the night.

In addition to providing food and accommodation for merchants, Fengxiang Inn also provides opium for addicts and casino gambling equipment for those who are addicted to gambling. It is all night long, provided that you must have money.

After Gou Hao and the other three checked in, Li Dequan went to the inn casino.

In the casino, in addition to the merchants who are singular and sing, there are also local gamblers who are shouting and chaotic. Several thugs who are protecting the field stand in every corner of the casino, observing everyone, and staring at whether the gamblers have beaten frauds.

Zheng Chengkui's secret spy in Tengchong City had a regular visitor named Hou San. He would come here almost every night to get a few gambles. Gambling is an excuse, and contacting people from the village was his main purpose.

Li Dequan wore gold silk glasses, blue silk robe, and top hat, like a Confucian businessman. He stepped into the casino door and glanced at him, and saw Hou San shouting among the group of people. He did not walk over immediately, but sat at a table next to him playing mahjong as a bystander and shouted to the waiter to get a pack of cigarettes.

Hou San heard Li Dequan's waiter's voice and glanced at Li Dequan.

Li Dequan gave him a wink, and Hou San yawned repeatedly, complaining that he was so angry that he stopped and left the casino and walked towards the opium-sucking room.

Li Dequan took the cigarettes sent by the waiter, gave the cigarette money, and got up and followed Hou San casually into the opium-sucking room.

There were quite a few people lying on the bamboo beds in the squares separated by bamboo curtains. When Li Dequan saw Hou San following a waiter into a private single room, he followed him.

This is a single room for two people to use. There are carved wood and wood. A short table in the middle of the wood. The waiter lit up the oil lamp on the short table. Li Dequan and Hou San sat down at both ends. Hou San told the waiter that he wanted to have a high-end tobacco paste to entertain friends from afar.

After the waiter walked out of the room, Li Dequan said: "Notify other brothers and leave Tengchong City as soon as possible."

Hou San asked: "Why should I leave?"

"Zhang Wu's rebellion may have betrayed you to the Japanese devils," said Li Dequan.

Hou San said in surprise: "Zhang Wuzhen is not a fucking thing!"

"Do you know where he lives?" Li Dequan asked.

"I know, we are just about to make him." Hou San replied.

At this time, the waiter brought in a wooden plate, which contained two cigarette guns and a plate of black shiny cigarette paste, and put them on a short table and asked, "Do you two bosses, do you need to burn cigarettes?"

"Forget it today, we can burn it ourselves." Hou San replied, taking out three pieces of ocean and handing it to the waiter.

Hou San really sucked, and Li Dequan didn't have this hobby.

"You guys find a way to get out, and Zhang Wu will leave it to me to deal with it." Li Dequan said: "Is there a way to leave the city?"

"Yes, in the Imperial Army, there is a team leader responsible for patrolling the city wall at night. I have been bribed and can get out at any time." Hou San replied.

Li Dequan asked: "Is it reliable?"

"Don't worry, this person is very reliable. He is a smoker. Every night when patrolling, he would sneak back home to take a few sips." Hou San replied.

Li Dequan thought for a while and said, "Okay, tell me Zhang Wu's address, and then go and notify other brothers. After I take someone to kill him, I will go back to the village with you."

Hou San then put down his cigarette gun and told Li Dequan in detail about Zhang Wu's accommodation. He made an appointment to meet under the Ximen City Wall at 2 a.m. Hou San took the unsmoked cigarette paste and left first. Li Dequan stayed for a few more minutes before returning to the guest room.

Since Zhang Wu was frightened after following Wang Jincai back to Heshun Township that night, he did not dare to follow Wang Jincai around anymore, so he found Hiroji Ikeda and asked for special protection for himself.

Hiroji Ikeda also felt that it was inappropriate to hand over Zhang Wu to Wang Jincai, and was worried that someone in the Imperial Army would be bribed and killed by Zheng Chengkui, so he handed Zhang Wu to Toshio Okazaki for strict protection.

After Okazaki Toshio was stationed in Tengchong City by Hiroji Ikeda's brigade, he was promoted to squadron leader, replacing the squadron leader who died in the fishing operation, and was responsible for the defense of Tengchong City together with Wang Jincai's Imperial Army.

Toshio Okazaki knew how important Zhang Wu was to Hiroji Ikeda, and he didn't dare to be careless, but he couldn't arrange him to live in the squadron headquarters. If the Japanese army had any confidential operations or tasks, Zhang Wu knew that it would be a joke to leak it out.

To put it bluntly, Toshio Okazaki was wary of Zhang Wu, so he arranged to live in a small courtyard not far from the squadron's base, and sent four Japanese troops to take turns to guard.

Hu San arrived at the Hot Spring Garden and reported to Dong Limao in detail when Li Dequan heard about Zhang Wu's situation.

Dong Limao thought about it and decided to take action for the sake of the safety of Zheng Chengguina's more than 2,000 anti-Japanese team, no matter how dangerous it was.

"Sister, I will kill Zhang Wu and I will not come back here. I will go out of the city and go to Longling." Dong Limao said to Li Yuanyuan.

"Jiacheng, I think it's better to leave the beard here. If there is an emergency, it's better for someone to pass it on. You can't use a radio station, so it's easy to be monitored by the Japanese devils." Li Yuanyuan looked at Hu San and said.

Hu San was anxious: "No, I won't stay here..."

"Little beard, this is an order!" Dong Limao interrupted Hu San: "It is more important for you to stay here than follow me. You will listen to your sister in the future. Also, you are already a man and have the responsibility to protect the safety of everyone here. Do you understand?" Dong Limao had other considerations. He felt that Hu San staying in the hot spring garden was safer than following the spys to run around.

Hu San nodded and said, "I listen to the company commander. But, what should you do in the future, company commander?"

"I am a big man, can't live without you? Are there so many brothers who are with me? You are here, don't wander around the streets, hide from Wang Jincai, he knows you." Dong Limao finally reminded.

Li Yuanyuan took out three pistols and handed them to Dong Limao: "The place you are going is very close to the Okazaki Squadron's station. As a last resort, don't shoot."

Dong Limao followed Hu San out of the side door of Wenquan Garden and headed straight to the street where Fengxiang Inn was located. In a nearby alley, Hu San returned to the inn alone and brought Li Dequan and Gou Hao out.

"Little beard, do what I said, you go." Dong Limao said before Li Dequan said that Hu San would go back to the Hot Spring Garden.

"Where is the beard going?" Li Dequan asked, looking at Hu San's back, which disappeared in the darkness.

"He has another task at the moment." Dong Limao said perfunctorily, took out his pistol, and handed it to Gou Hao and Li Dequan: "Don't shoot if you have no choice."

The three of them came to the alley opposite the yard of Zhang Wu's accommodation arranged by Toshio Okazaki in the dark, and hid at a corner. Dong Limao saw a Japanese man walking back and forth outside the yard. A few Japanese man patrolling had just walked past the other alleyway between this small courtyard.

"There may be a secret whistle, Gou Hao, go up to the roof and take a look." Dong Limao said to Gou Hao.

Gou Hao used his hands and quickly climbed up to the roof of a resident's house and looked at the small courtyard that Li Dequan said. Sure enough, there was a sentry in the yard, leaning against the left side of the yard gate, smoking.

"The patrol team will come back soon. If they don't see the Japanese guarding outside, we can't leave the city. It's better not to disturb him. I'll monitor outside. You two quietly enter the yard, kill the secret whistle inside, and come out immediately after killing Zhang Wu. Remember, you must confirm that it was Zhang Wu who killed it." Originally, Gou Hao could do the work alone, but Dong Limao asked Li Dequan to follow him, with the purpose of letting Li Dequan confirm that the person killed was Zhang Wu.

Gou Hao and Li Dequan left Dong Limao and quietly approached the small yard from a side alleyway. Gou Hao took the lead in climbing up the wall. There was a osmanthus tree in the courtyard with lush branches and leaves, just blocking the sight of the Japanese smoking in the door. Gou Hao was as clever as a cat, got off the wall, leaning against the wall and tiptoed behind the Japanese in the door. He stepped up like lightning, hugged the Japanese's head with both hands, twisted to the left, and with a click, the Japanese's neck was twisted, and then slowly put him on the ground.

Li Dequan lay on the wall. Seeing that the patrol Japanese were about to arrive, he saw Gou Hao wave to him, so he immediately jumped down from the wall.

Dong Limao saw the patrolling team of Japanese soldiers walking outside the yard, saying a few words to the sentry standing guard, and then continued to walk forward.

This small courtyard has two bungalows, one with three bedrooms on the front, and the other with only one room, which is probably a kitchen.

Zhang Wu was particularly cunning. In order to survive, he did not sleep in the three rooms of the bungalow on the front, but moved the bedding to the kitchen to sleep. Since he defected to the Japanese, he did not dare to sleep at night. However, he deserved to die that night, and actually fell asleep. He thought that there would be no danger with the Japanese protection, so he fell asleep peacefully and snored.

Originally, Gou Hao and Li Dequan thought he would sleep in one of the main rooms, and both began to approach the main rooms quietly. However, Li Dequan heard the snoring from the kitchen and told Gou Hao. The two approached the kitchen door and listened carefully. Sure enough, someone snored inside, but Gou Hao thought it was another Japanese sleeping, and said in Li Dequan's ear: "There may be two other Japanese inside, so let's go to the main rooms to look for them."

Li Dequan hesitated for a moment, shook his head and asked in a low voice: "If it were you, I knew someone would come to assassinate him, where would I sleep?"

Gou Hao thought about it and laughed. He thought that Li Dequan's analysis made sense, so he pulled out the dagger, gently pushed the door, put the latch inside, and used the tip of the knife to cleverly open the latch inside.

Zhang Wu felt a noise in a daze and opened his eyes in fear, but it was too late. Gou Hao had already pressed his dagger against his throat: "Don't make a sound!"

Zhang Wu was so panicked that he dared not to listen, and looked at Gou Hao blankly.

Li Dequan approached, scratched a match, glanced at Zhang Wu, and then sneered, "Zhang Wu, your death date has come!"

When Li Dequan lit the match, Zhang Wu saw Li Dequan's face and was so scared that he was no longer looking. He opened his mouth to shout, but Gou Hao's dagger cut his throat. He saw blood bubbles rumbled out of his cut throat, as if a shout came out of his throat.
