After Tsukata killed Simazi's mother, he immediately arranged troops to block the residential area and searched each house next to him.

The first day of the Lunar New Year was originally a happy and auspicious day, but it was turned into a black day of complaints by the Tsukada.

The residential area was not big, and the Japanese soldier quickly found Sister Ping's residence. No one responded in the room. The Japanese soldier smashed open the door and placed two suitcases downstairs, which were the luggage of Sister Ping and Xiaoqi.

When the suitcase was opened, the Japanese soldiers quickly gained all the gains, and each box contained a pistol.

Jiang Ping's own speed and slow machine and the snatched from Zhang Tong were presented to Tsukata at the same time.

They were ready to run away. Tsukada secretly thanked that if he had come one step later, he would probably not even see a single hair.

From the head of the residential area, I learned that the person living in this house was a single woman who hadn't seen her for several days.

This made Tsukata a little strange. He could see from the traces in the house and the remaining ingredients that there were always people in the house, but now people suddenly disappeared.

After checking all the people in the residential area, it took more than an hour to find that woman and the boy, Tsukada vaguely had a bad premonition. He knew that these two people were most likely to have escaped from their blockade circle.

Tsukada was unwilling to fail and divided the people he brought into four teams and rushed to the four city gates, hoping to get stuck in the woman and the boy at the city gate.

It was Tsukada's unwillingness to fail that made him find the opportunity to capture Jiang Ping. Just as he was about to reach the North City Gate, he suddenly heard the gun ringing, which made him feel energetic and shouted to the driving sergeant: "Go ahead quickly!"

It was almost time to reach the city gate, but unexpectedly, the fast-moving truck shocked two human-powered chariots. The chariots didn't know what heavy objects were transporting. It was very hard for a few coolies to pull and push them. After being frightened, the two trucks all overturned on the street. The coolies scattered and blocked the truck's way tightly.

Tsukata never believed that this was a coincidence. In the festival that Chinese people value the most, how could anyone come out to work and do such heavy physical work? This is obviously a trick. Although Tsukata knew there was something wrong, he did not send anyone to chase these coolies. His thoughts were all on the gate of the city, on the woman who might have escaped from the city.

Since the car was blocked, it would be OK with both legs. Tsukada got off the car first and yelled at the soldier who was still standing in the carriage and became an old man: "Everyone gets off the car, and everyone gets off the car."

…………

Someone commanded and cleared the city gate first, and then ran forward. In the village several miles away, the captain had already prepared the car. As long as he got there, it would be truly safe.

Wu Xiaoqi could barely keep up with him for a while, but after running for a while, he soon felt his legs like lead was filled with lead, and he couldn't run any longer. His breathing became heavy, and beads of sweat as big as beans kept rolling down his forehead. After all, he had not recovered from a serious illness and his body was still weak. When he ran out of a residential area, he almost exhausted his physical strength. Now he could not withstand more intense exercise.

"Xiao Qi, are you okay?" Jiang Ping was very anxious. The plaster flag of the ghost could already be seen behind her, indicating that the pursuers were approaching. If Xiao Qi was in this state, the possibility of running to the receiving location was almost zero.

Jiang Ping knew Wu Xiaoqi very well and knew his personality. As long as he could grit his teeth and resist, he would never say a word. He was almost at the point where he was exhausted, but he still ran forward.

"Jiang Ping, this won't work. We will be caught by the enemy sooner or later." The captain also discovered Xiao Qi's abnormality, but he did not directly persuade Jiang Ping to give up Xiao Qi, but instead put forward his own opinion tactfully: "The Japanese want to arrest you, and it has nothing to do with them. It's better to let them hide nearby first and wait until it's safe, and we will come and pick them up."

"No!" Jiang Ping refused without thinking. She vowed not to abandon Xiaoqi and would use her life to protect him. How could she leave him in such a crisis?

"Jiang Ping, you can't behave like a little now. If you stay, you will only waste your life. Not only that, the two of them, but also the brothers will die like this." The captain's words almost yelled. He pointed at Wu Xiaoqi and Simazi with his fingers, and pointed at the members of the No. 10 Military Control Commission Operation Team gathered around him.

Jiang Ping also knew what would happen if she forced Wu Xiaoqi to take, but she was unwilling to give up, and she was even more reluctant to give up. Although she had no good feelings for the military commanders of the Iron Blood Anti-Traitor Group, they were comrades who had lived and died with her after all, and no one abandoned her in an emergency and left. Even if she was a stone, she could not remember this friendship.

The Japanese were not far behind her, and apart from some short guns, she had no firepower to compete. She had to force Wu Xiaoqi to take her with her, and she had to die. Jiang Ping closed her eyes helplessly, and two lines of clear tears flowed down. She could not face these companions around her, and even more so could not face the Xiaoqi who had promised her.

"Sister, this big brother is right. The Japanese are going to catch you. Xiao Si and I are not their food. You go first, we will go to Tianjin Wei to find you." Wu Xiaoqi knew Sister Ping's embarrassment, so he took the initiative to speak, but suddenly remembered the doctor's advice to him at the grocery store, but in front of outsiders, he could not say it out, so he had to follow the words of the man in a black long gown.

"Xiaoqi, I'm sorry for you..."

Jiang Ping was sobbing that she couldn't even say anything. She didn't know that if she left, Xiaoqi said she would go to Tianjin Wei to find her, but in fact, it would be basically difficult to meet again in the future.

"It's too late, Jiang Ping, you and Xiao Zeng and the others left first. I'll take two brothers to stay and take care of him. Are you relieved?" The captain was so anxious that he had no choice. He understood that even if Jiang Ping left after listening to advice, if Wu Xiaoqi didn't come, she wouldn't go back to Tianjin Wei if she was beaten to death. She would sneak back to the provincial capital if she was not careful. If this happens, the risks and efforts taken by the entire operation team will be in vain.

Instead of doing this, it’s better to give her a thought. As long as she can return to Tianjin Wei smoothly, she won’t have to worry about what’s going on next.
