Chapter Thirteen: Unexpected Birth

  Someone actually hijacked the law court and pulled Chuan Qi back from the brink of death.

  Those 10 or so executioners were knocked down by Lin's flying hidden weapons, and after each one fell to the ground, they became as silent as if dead.

  The mounted police were shocked to see the plainclothesmen, like a flock of clever black birds, suddenly emerge from the white birch forest and surround the team of constables in a dizzying manner. The security guards, who outnumbered them, didn't even have time to raise their guns in resistance, let alone fire, and meekly threw down their arms and surrendered.

  The ugly-faced police chief, recognizing the capable person, threw away his left-handed pistol and nodded at the man in black like a chicken pecking at rice. In an instant, he fell from being a grandfather to being a grandson, which made Chuan Qi feel extremely comfortable.

  The men in black didn't seem to want to hurt the security guards, symbolically searching their bodies, just like the guards at the city gate who let people into the city with a few dollars stuffed in their pockets, and they lazily handled the situation with a series of "uh-huhs" and "ahs".

  The members of this execution squad all had their faces covered, leaving only those indispensable eyes visible, looking like robbers blocking the road.

  A sturdy man in black rushed towards the river bank, immediately covering his eyes with a startled expression, then dragged him hastily into the woods.

  After walking for a while, the man released Chuanji's collar and stopped, as if waiting for his own team to arrive before deciding which way to go.

  "Who are you? Why did you save me?" Kawahime was unexpectedly given a new lease on life and had to figure out who her lifesaver was.

  This man didn't open his mouth, making Chuan Qi feel very strange at the same time, and feeling that his tone was a bit stiff. He immediately changed his way of asking: "Benefactor, where are you taking me?"

  This man still didn't make a sound, making Kawahara feel incredulous. He wanted to ask further, but the other person was getting impatient and patted his face, indicating that he had to behave himself. Otherwise, they wouldn't be polite to him.

  "Hasn't he just escaped from the tiger's mouth and fallen into the wolf's lair?" Chuanji's mood plummeted.

  Although his eyes were blurry, Kawari's ears were particularly good, and from the chaotic footsteps, he felt that this team was not many people, only 10 or 20.

  "Who is your leader? I want to thank him in person." Chuan Qi intentionally raised his voice, loudly making the request, trying to probe their attitude.

  According to Heiwa's idea, even if this person doesn't speak, the leader of this group will still shout and walk forward to negotiate with him. The kind one would give him a little comfort, while the evil one would slap him in the face. However, not only did this person not speak, but their leader didn't make a sound either. Were they all mute? Or were they just local people who weren't good at communicating with others?

  Chuan Qi's thoughts became more and more uneasy, suddenly feeling his pores opening wide, sweat dripping out in big drops. The wounds on his body were soaked by the salty sweat, and they started to ache violently again.

  "I'm exhausted, can I take a break?" Kawara asked tentatively again.

  There is no dissenting voice, nor is there anyone who agrees. What's wrong with this team? Am I dreaming?

  He stretched out his hand and felt around, touching the rough tree trunk, indicating that it was not a dream. He had really been rescued by a mysterious team.

  Kanji's request was in vain, and he didn't dare to make any rash moves, so he could only follow the black-clad man's lead and stumble forward. He silently estimated that they had been walking for at least half an hour, yet they still hadn't left this birch forest.

  Finally out of the birch forest, the road gradually became smooth and bright, and the horseback ride was no longer stumbling, allowing him to focus his mind on thinking about this mysterious team. From being nervous to gradually calming down, he made up his mind to clarify this mysterious team.

  The cavalry entered Shanxi Datong to participate in the so-called "Chinese Speech Contest". After ruling out various possibilities, the focus was still on Meizhi and her special crow team. However, he couldn't understand why Meizhi would rescue people in this way. If the mysterious team beside him was the Crow Team, then after rescuing people, they should reveal their true identity. Moreover, this security police force had been at odds with the Imperial Japanese Army since the Xi'an Incident and the second cooperation between the KMT and the CPC. When executing a Japanese military officer's death sentence, they were ambushed by Japanese agents, resulting in many casualties. How could they surrender without firing a single shot or bullet? Even if the Chinese were afraid of death, they should have pursued the Japanese with guns after entering the birch forest. At least they should have fired a few symbolic shots, it wouldn't be so humiliating!

  After shaking his head to deny the Japanese Crow Team, a team suddenly jumped out of Kawabata's mind, which was the Wutai Mountain Anti-Japanese Nun Team that General Itagaki had been thinking about in front of the Shanxi map and wrote on paper repeatedly.

  Mom, I actually fell into the hands of the five-color tiger-changing nun team at Wutai Mountain, and the Sichuan cavalry dare not think about it anymore.

  The cavalry was slightly calmer, but then turned around and thought, this doesn't feel right. If it's a nun squad, where did the men come from? From the physique of this team when they robbed the law court, more than half were burly men. If it wasn't a nun squad, could it be the same group that gave General Itagaki a headache, especially the Hengshan bandit Ma Laohei who was deeply hated by the Japanese Empire's Datong Fuji Corporation? That doesn't seem right either. A ragtag team would definitely cheer and shout obscenities when they got their "prey", how could they be so civilized?

  The road ahead became difficult to walk, and the man in black tightly pulled Kaito up a mountain. Although he couldn't see his surroundings, Kaito was certain from the feeling of his feet that this must be a steep cliff, perhaps the hideout of this mysterious group. He was convinced that he had fallen into the hands of bandits.

  After climbing for a while, resting for a bit, the black-clad man pulled up his horse and started moving again. After walking with a clattering sound for a short while, a gust of cool wind suddenly blew in, sweeping away the previous scorching heat. The horse knew that this mysterious group had led him into a cave.

  When they reached the bottom of the cave, this mysterious group indeed stopped, and Kawahara was immediately tied to a stake with ropes. After tying up Kawahara, the footsteps of the black-clad men gradually faded away, and the group fell silent.

  Now, he had really fallen into the lair of the bandits, and Chuan Qi thought of even more cruel torture, his spiritual pillar collapsed instantly.

  These past few days of unbearable experiences, as well as the prospect of a fate worse than death that he is about to face, have made Chuanji think of taking his own life. Only by ending his own life can he free himself.

  "Report, I need to relieve myself." Kawara shouted, but there was no response.

  The cavalryman didn't know where these silent black-clad men were gathering, how far they were from themselves. He could only raise his voice to the maximum and shout what he had just said again.

  Suddenly footsteps sounded, and someone came to untie Kawahashi. As soon as he was untied, he turned around and rushed towards the wooden stake with his head.
