Chapter 43: Re-encountering the Red-clothed Figure

  "Take off your clothes quickly, what are you hesitating about?"

  The one-eyed fake police captain seemed to have not noticed the murderous intent in Qin Yang's eyes, and was loudly directing his two subordinates to come over and strip Qin Yang of his cotton-padded jacket.

  The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the pedestrians waiting to pass by were also startled. They all looked over here, saw a one-eyed fake police captain, and some people who knew him whispered to each other in hushed tones.

  "Hei An Wang is making trouble again, it seems this young man is going to be unlucky!"

  "It's a pity, it's a pity! Such a young age and yet he's already gotten himself into this mess, what a sad sight!"

  "Shh, speak softly, don't let that Yan Wang hear you!"

  Two black dogs came rushing towards him, Qin Yang hastily retreated two steps back. To outsiders, it seemed he was retreating out of fear, but in reality, he had moved to the most advantageous shooting position. In this position, whether it was the machine gunner hiding behind cover or the Japanese soldier holding a rifle and looking around at the bridgehead, they were all within his control range.

  One-eyed fake police captain saw Qin Yang not only didn't take off his clothes himself, but also dared to dodge, as if he felt that his authority had been damaged. He pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Qin Yang, cursing: "You damn country bumpkin, I told you to strip and you still dare to disobey, if you don't listen, I'll blow your head off!"

  Qin Yang could no longer bear it, he had never been so insulted before, being scolded by a useless person like this. He flipped up the large lapel of his cotton-padded jacket with his left hand and reached into his waistband to grasp his pistol with his right hand.

  Just then, a hurried horseshoe sound came from the road leading to Zhongguan Town. The horseshoe sound got closer and closer, finally stopping behind the waiting pedestrians at the checkpoint. The passenger on the horse seemed to have seen something and exclaimed in surprise, sounding like a woman.

  One-eyed fake police captain and Qin Yang both turned their heads to look, seeing a total of seven horses coming, led by a woman wearing a fiery red tight-fitting cheongsam with a row of black agate buttons on her chest, a three-inch-wide silk belt around her waist, a fox fur hat on her head, and a black cloak flowing behind her in the wind, riding a horse and looking up at this side.

  When he saw the woman, Qin Yang's eyes lit up. The fiery red dress made him recognize her at a glance - it was the red-clad woman he had met at Wangxiang Tower. Although her attire had changed somewhat, her spirit remained unchanged.

  Hongyi obviously also saw Qin Yang, a smile spread across her face with an air of killing intent, she jumped down from the horse, parted the crowd and walked towards Qin Yang. Several men wearing short shirts behind her also jumped off their horses and followed closely behind, squeezing into the crowd.

  People saw the group of people dressed up and knew they were important, so they made way for them. The red-clothed women didn't have to exert much effort to squeeze in and arrived beside Qin Yang and Gang Qingye, who were surrounded by fake police.

  The man in red glanced at the young green leaf standing aside, saw that he was just an ordinary rural boy, and didn't pay much attention to him. His gaze turned to Qin Yang, his tone filled with surprise: "Qin Yang, it's really you! I thought it looked like you from afar, but I didn't expect it to be you. What kind of fragrant wind blew you here?"

  "What wind, northwest wind!" Qin Yang smiled wryly to himself, thinking that Hongyi was indeed reckless, surrounded by so many fake cops and yet she didn't care at all.

  "Who are you? The captain is working in this office, what are you doing here? Get out! Go wherever it's cool for you!" Seeing Hongyi come in and immediately get into a heated argument with the local ruffian Tuzi, the one-eyed fake police captain seemed very displeased, as if he didn't count for anything in other people's eyes, and was directly ignored. If not for seeing that Hongyi looked like someone with connections from his clothes and demeanor, he would have given orders to take him away long ago.

  Hongyi suddenly came to his senses and found that there was still a pesky fly beside him. He waved his hand at Qin Yang and said, "Don't bother about it anymore, I'll take care of it for you!"

  After finishing speaking, Hongyi walked up to the one-eyed fake police captain and stood in front of him with his hands on his hips, coldly smiling as he looked him up and down.

  The fake police captain was stared at by the red-clothed man from head to toe, and he felt a chill in his heart. He plucked up his courage and asked the red-clothed man, "Who are you? What are you looking at me for?"

  "Hey, He Dingtou, your hometown is in Zunhua's Mozigou Village, right? Your mother is over 70 years old, your wife's name is Guihua, and you have a three-year-old daughter, don't you?"

  Listening to Hongyi's words, which were as precious as family treasures, the fake police captain He Datou felt a sense of unease and hastily asked: "How did you know that? Who are you?"

  "How did I know that you wouldn't care, but let me tell you, if you don't cooperate, I can't guarantee that your mother and wife and kids will make it through tomorrow!" Hongyi leaned in close to He Dingtou's ear, threatening in a low voice: "You should know that Red Clothes always keeps his word!"

  "Red clothes!"

  He Da Tou's forehead was covered in cold sweat. The name of this female evil star is now as famous as the sun in the north of Ji, especially among government officials and fake police officers. Almost no one doesn't know about this woman who loves to wear red clothes, and even fewer people don't know that offending her means it's not far from meeting King Yan and having tea with him.

  Thinking of his wife, children and old mother at home, He Dahan forced a smile, nodded to the red-clothed man, and begged in a low voice: "I don't know if it's you, sir, just spare me this once, I won't dare next time!"

  Hongyi looked at He Dati's smile that was uglier than crying and asked: "What about this friend of mine?"

  "What's past is past, let it go!"

  "That's more like it!" The red-clad figure seemed satisfied.

  Just then, perhaps because there were too many people gathered, two Japanese soldiers walked over from the bridgehead, rushing towards Hong Yuli.

  The people behind the man in red suddenly tensed up, all stretching their hands to their waists or probing into their chests. They were ready to take action at any sign of trouble.

  He Da Tou saw the red-clothed man's eyebrows move slightly, his expression somewhat displeased. In his heart, he secretly cursed his bad luck. But now there was no way out, so he had to turn around and face the two Japanese soldiers.

  The fake police captain arrived, and the Japanese soldier asked him, "What's going on here?"

  Now that things have come to this, He Dahu had no choice but to cover up for Hongyi and the others. He nodded and smiled obsequiously: "Your Highness, it's nothing, nothing at all! We just ran into a few friends and chatted for a bit!"

  The Japanese looked at the red-clad ones with suspicion, but didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary, so he nodded and said to He Da Tou: "Let them leave quickly, no chatting is allowed here, you can talk when you get back!"

  "What a big head, finally managed to send the Japanese soldiers away. He turned around, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and begged the woman in red: "My lady, please hurry up and go inside, if we delay any longer, we won't survive!"

  The red-clothed figure smiled and walked back to Qin Yang's side, saying "Let's go!"

  Qin Yang picked up the carrying pole and followed He Qingye closely behind Hong Yi, passing through the crowd of fake police officers, who all made way for them.

  Seeing Qin Yang and the others pass through the checkpoint, Wan Lai Sheng, who was hiding in a hidden place to support Qin Yang at any time, let out a sigh of relief and put away his long knife. He walked out and joined forces with Qin Yang.

  As soon as he saw this middle-aged man, Hongyi felt that he had seen him somewhere before, and the impression was very deep, but he couldn't think of it for a moment. Under Qin Yang's reminder, he suddenly remembered that it was the middle-aged swordsman who helped each other at Wangxiang Tower.

  Recognizing the sound of Wan Lai, Hong Yi bowed and said: "Last time, thanks to your righteous intervention, I'm still grateful. From now on, if there's anything you need help with, just speak up, as long as I can do it, that's all!"

  A burst of laughter, and he waved his hand: "It was just a small effort, nothing to mention, at that time the main credit went to Brother Qin, if you want to thank someone, thank him!"

  Mentioning Qin Yang, Hongyi turned her head to look at Qin Yang beside her, thinking of the paired gun that was still with him, and wondered how he had kept it.

  Unlike Heidi, Hong Yizhi was more straightforward and unrestrained. She had a good impression of Qin Yang and didn't hide it at all. As time went on, even Qin Yang couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by her fiery gaze.

  A group of people turned the corner, and in front of them appeared a Northeastern Chinese restaurant. A sign hung high above the entrance, and the aroma of wine and dishes wafted out from the open door. The hustle and bustle inside could be heard from the street.

  Hongyi stopped in her tracks and turned around to say to Qinyang: "Qinyang, why don't we eat something here?"

  Qin Yang and the others had been traveling for half a day, and at noon they only ate a few buns, their stomachs were already growling loudly, hearing Hong Yi say this, of course, they didn't have any objections.

  "But if you want me to treat, we don't have much money. If we eat and can't pay the bill, I don't want to be beaten up!" Qin Yang said with a smile, he indeed didn't have much money.

  "That goes without saying, I can still afford a meal!" The red-clothed one pretended to be angry, stretched out her hand and pushed Qin Yang's back, then smiled and led the way to the restaurant.

  "It's all right, at least I don't have to live under her gaze that can roast people alive!" Qin Yang let out a sigh of relief and followed the red-clothed figure inside.

  Since Hongyi appeared, Jiang Qingye had not said a word except for greeting her when Qin Yang introduced her, and she remained silent until now, still quietly following behind everyone.

  Among the several people who came with Hongyi, two of them secretly exchanged glances with each other, but they didn't notice that Wan Lai's gaze had already seen all their movements.

  A group of people with their own thoughts walked into the restaurant.

  …………

  As soon as they entered the town of Qin Yang, several Japanese military heavy trucks came speeding down the highway and stopped abruptly near the checkpoint. The strong gusts of wind from the cars blew up clouds of dust on the ground, causing a few black dogs to cough incessantly.

  Under the gaze of the pseudo police who dared not speak, the vice driver's door of the leading truck was pushed open, and a Japanese officer jumped down from it. The shiny shoulder badge and rank insignia should be a lieutenant. He walked up to the Japanese soldier on duty and pulled out an ID card from his pocket.

  The Japanese soldier on duty unfolded the documents, read them and handed them over to the lieutenant, and saluted him.

  The lieutenant's face was iron-green, and his hoarse voice asked, "Have you seen any suspicious people on duty here?"

  "Reporting to Lieutenant Yamamoto Ippō, all is normal!"

  Yamamoto nodded coldly and waved his hand at the fake police, who hastily moved away the barriers to clear the road leading into the town. The heavy trucks roared across the bridge and entered Zhongguantown...
