Li Jingtian lived in the mountains all year round. Other than occasionally entering the city to sell some hunted prey and medicinal herbs, he rarely entered the city. Therefore, he was not familiar with the situation in the city.
The Second Young Master Jiang that the brawny man was talking about was actually a woman. She was the daughter of the West City of Yuling City, and her name was Jiang Qiong.
Jiang Qiong had been studying outside for a few years. She only returned home after the Japanese army occupied Yuling, so very few people in Yuling knew her. The reason why she was so arrogant and domineering was because her father, Jiang Xi Cheng, was the hall master of the Elder Brother Association in Yuling County. He could be considered a person who could call the wind and summon the rain in Yuling County.
He also had a son named Jiang Hanzhong, who was once a regiment commander of the National Party. Unfortunately, he died in the Battle of Taierzhuang.
No one in Yuling could shake the power of Jiangxi City. He had hundreds of well-equipped outlaws under him, and he controlled all of Yuling's brothels, gambling dens, smoking dens, and even smuggling firearms.
After the Japanese army occupied Yuling, Watanabe had come to him several times, wanting to let Jiangxi City serve as the security commander of Yuling, but he politely refused.
Although Jiang Xicheng didn't dare to say that he was a good person, he still had a sense of justice when it came to national interests. In the face of Watanabe's interests, he expressed disdain. Watanabe didn't dare to openly fall out with him due to his influence.
Just as Li Jingtian and the devil were fighting, Jiang Qiong led a dozen men disguised as Japanese soldiers to the Japanese comfort station. Perhaps the comfort station was not an important military facility of the Japanese army, so there was only a small team of Japanese soldiers stationed here, a total of about ten people.
These dozen or so devils were a piece of cake for Jiang Qiong's subordinates. They didn't even need to use a shot to send those devils to the afterlife.
Jiang Qiong ordered people to open all the rooms and release all the forty or so girls imprisoned inside. Then, he let them board a truck that had been prepared beforehand and drove out of the city without any obstruction.
After Li Jingtian's car left the city, it drove forward for about ten feet before it saw a truck parked by the roadside and Jiang Qiong standing beside it.
"Caw!" Li Jingtian's car stopped behind the truck.
As soon as the car door opened, Li Jingtian could not wait to get out of the car and run to the truck.
"Xinyue! Lei Xinyue! Are you here?"
Li Jingtian looked into the car and shouted Lei Xinyue's name, but he did not hear any reply.
"Hey, do you have a Lei Xinyue here?”
Li Jingtian asked the girls in the car anxiously. The girls in the car had not completely recovered from their fear and were still huddled together.
"Did you hear me? Is there anyone called Lei Xinyue here?”
"Brother Tian, is that you? I haven't seen Sister Xinyue before."
At this moment, a timid voice came from the crowd. Li Jingtian looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl with disheveled hair and tattered clothes staring at him in fear. Due to the scars and stains on her face, Li Jingtian could not recognize her even after a long time.
"Who are you? Do you know me?"
Tian 'ge, I'm Xiaolan."
"What is it? You're Xiaolan?"
Li Jingtian was both surprised and delighted. He had not expected to see a living person from the Lei Family Village.
"Brother Tian! Wuwuwu…"
Xiao Lan cried out and hugged Li Jingtian's head as she cried.
"Who is Lei Xinyue? Why are you looking for her?"
Jiang Qiong walked over and asked.
"Sigh!"
Li Jingtian did not answer her. Instead, he let out a heavy sigh, disappointment written all over his face.
"How do you plan to settle them?"
Li Jingtian gathered his thoughts and asked Jiang Qiong.
"I don't know either. Why don't you bring them back to your encampment first and let them rest at your place for a few days? I will send you some food and clothes for them. In a few days, if they are willing to go home, we will arrange for them to go home. If they are unwilling to go home, we will think of other ways.”
Li Jingtian felt that this was the only way out, so he nodded in agreement.
"Alright then. Since that's the case, let's hurry up and leave. I'll send you off.”
Li Jingtian looked up at Xiaolan and said,""Xiaolan, don't be afraid. We'll be home soon.”
With that, the group of people got back into the car. The car started again and headed into the mountains.
However, they had not driven far when they saw two cars coming from the distance. In front of them was a black sedan, followed by a truck covered with canvas. Although they were still two to three miles away, the Japanese medicine flag hanging on the front of the car was clearly visible.
.
"Caw!"
The car stopped again.
"Oh no, Second Young Master, are the Japanese coming?”
The man called Brother Qiang said to Jiang Qiong.
"No, if they are pursuing us, they should be coming from the east. This shouldn't be the pursuers."
"But even if they aren't pursuing us, we'll be exposed if they come down to check.”
"Ignore him. We'll see how it goes. If it really doesn't work, we'll kill them! Wang Qiang, go to the back and get your brothers ready.”
"Yes."
Wang Qiang agreed and got out of the car. He got into the truck behind him.
The car drove forward again, and the cars on both sides were getting closer and closer…
A few minutes later, the cars of both parties passed by each other. It seemed that the other party was in a hurry and had no intention of coming down to check.
"Phew!"
Jiang Qiong let out a long breath, and his anxious heart finally relaxed.
"Pa!"
Just as Jiang Qiong was about to speak to Li Jingtian, who was beside him, a gunshot suddenly sounded from behind the car. Then, someone shouted,""Stop those two cars, we need to check!”
"Damn it, I still didn't dodge it!"
Jiang Qiong had just cursed when the gunshots behind him intensified…
"Pa…Pa…"
"Da da da…"
Judging from the gunshots, there was the sound of a pistol and a submachine gun!
"Drive quickly. Turn into the fork in front. There's a large forest not far ahead.”
Li Jingtian shouted at the driver.
The driver stepped on the accelerator and drove forward for about 300 meters. As expected, he saw a fork in the road. The driver turned the steering wheel without hesitation and the car turned into the road into the mountain.
"Stop the car quickly. I'll go down and stop them. Otherwise, we won't be able to shake them off. You guys continue to drive forward. You'll reach the Lei Village after turning the corner. Wait for me there.”
Li Jingtian shouted.
"Can you do it yourself?"
Jiang Qiong looked worried.
"It's fine. The forest is my world. It won't be easy for them to catch me.”
"Then you must be careful!"
"Don't worry, let's go!"
