Chapter 127: The Fake and the Real

Wei Jichen was frowning as he read the intelligence reports from various places. News came from Gaiping City that Nogi Maresuke's mixed brigade was mobilizing troops, and it seemed that they wanted to support Ximu City. Wei Jichen had no good feelings for Nogi Maresuke. If Nogi Maresuke fell into his hands, he would probably be buried alive. I don't know if Song Qing got the information, or I'd better send him a message. If Nogi Maresuke dared to move, let Song Qing blow his ass, Wei Jichen thought bitterly. "Sir, someone sent a handkerchief." Wang Huaiqing came in at some point, raised the white handkerchief in his hand and said with a smile. Wei Jichen stretched his body and said impatiently: "It won't be another young lady in Haicheng who has nothing to do and sent someone to send it." Who said that women in this era are all shy? Wei Jichen has received a lot of handkerchiefs, scarves, and letters from the ladies of the rich families in the city in the past few days. At first, he was a little complacent in his heart. After all, there were so many beauties coming to his door, which showed that he was still charming. However, as they became more and more, he was too lazy to care. Wang Huaiqing blinked and teased, "If it was one of those people, how could I dare to show it to you, sir? This was sent by your acquaintance." "Oh, who is it?" Wei Jichen asked curiously. "It's the proprietress of that tavern, Li Que'er. It can be seen that she can't forget you, sir." Wang Huaiqing put the handkerchief on Wei Jichen's desk and stared at Wei Jichen's movements with a gossipy look on his face. Uh, it was actually sent by Li Que'er. Wei Jichen ignored Wang Huaiqing's desire to watch the fun and opened it directly to see what she wrote. Wang Huaiqing stretched his neck and wanted to take a look at the content. After a moment, Wei Jichen put down the handkerchief with a strange look on his face. What, don't forget the person beside you, one-night stand? Wei Jichen put it down and picked it up again to read it carefully. Li Que'er would definitely not say nonsense casually. There was obviously nothing between him and her, but why? Wei Jichen was puzzled and said, "Who sent this handkerchief?" Wang Huaiqing saw the serious expression on Wei Jichen's face and quickly restrained his smile. After thinking for a while, he replied, "The soldier at the door said that it was sent by a child." It is impossible to infer anything from the person who sent the letter. This letter is too explicit. Although Li Que'er was born in a brothel, judging from the time he spent with her, she was still very self-disciplined and would never be so coquettish. The signature was indeed Li Que'er, and she invited him to go tonight. If this letter was not written by her, or she was forced to write it by someone else. Wei Jichen's train of thought immediately opened up. In this case, the reason why she wrote this must be to remind me. Li Que'er is in danger, and this matter is directed at him. Wei Jichen suddenly realized and understood. Someone must be trying to harm me, and they are going to do it in Li Que'er's tavern. "Huaiqing, go find Mengzi right away and ask him to bring a few people over." Wei Jichen solemnly instructed Wang Huaiqing, who was puzzled at the side. No matter how likely this is, it will never go wrong to be careful. If Li Que'er is held hostage, I can't just stand by and watch. And if they want to take my life, then I'll let you take it. Wei Jichen suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and a plan came to mind. Not long after, Mengzi, led by Wang Huaiqing, came over in a hurry with four members of the fire brigade. Wei Jichen asked a few people to sit down, and then put the handkerchief on the table for everyone to see. "Sir, this!" Mengzi looked a little embarrassed, not knowing what to say. Seeing that the others were all embarrassed, Wei Jichen had to explain a little: "I just know this Li Que'er, and we haven't even held hands. There is no such messy relationship. Now she suddenly wrote such a strange letter. I suspect that someone may want to harm me, and Li Que'er is very clever. She wrote such a letter to remind me." When the few people heard that Wei Jichen didn't seem to be joking, they immediately sat up and thought seriously. Mengzi said: "Sir, if it is really as you said, I think it is better for you not to go to the appointment." Wei Jichen shook his head and said: "The enemy has been hiding in the dark. Only if I go to the appointment will their whereabouts be exposed. Therefore, this appointment must be made." "In this case, sir, why don't the soldiers of my fire brigade pretend to be you, and then go to the appointment with a few people around you, and we will lead people to quietly surround them, and make sure that the thief has nowhere to hide." Mengzi touched his chin and actually thought of a good idea. Wei Jichen couldn't help but look at him differently. He didn't expect that Mengzi was actually a man of great talent, not as simple and honest as he looked. "Then, let's do as you said. One soldier will dress up as me, and the other three will dress up as my personal soldiers. I will personally lead the personal soldiers to follow slowly behind. If something goes wrong, the members of the fire brigade will come back immediately, and the rest will be left to the personal soldiers." Wei Jichen rolled his eyes and immediately turned Mengzi's idea into a plan. "Okay, I'll go down and prepare now." Wang Huaiqing and Mengzi responded immediately after receiving the order. Wei Jichen raised his hand and said expressionlessly, "Go, don't have too many people, and be careful not to alarm others, so as not to alert the enemy." "Yes!" Half an hour later, several people suddenly came out of the Haicheng government office. The first one was very young, well-dressed, and well-mannered. The soldiers at the door saluted him when they saw him. The Japanese hiding in the dark corner and watching outside saw this situation and immediately made a judgment that this young man was likely to be Wei Jichen. Afterwards, this group of people all rode on their war horses, and leisurely headed towards Li Que'er's tavern. The young man's mount was exactly the mount that Wei Jichen often rode.

The Japanese who were following them were even more certain that it was Wei Jichen. Although it was dark and they couldn't see clearly, the man looked almost the same as Wei Jichen in his usual outfit and size. The Japanese left quickly in the dark and ran away. Not long after, the Japanese who were following them got ahead and went to the wine shop to inform Fujisaki Hide. "Sir, Wei Jichen is coming here with several personal soldiers." Although the Japanese who were following them were panting, they couldn't stop their excitement. Wei Jichen, that's the god of death, he will die in their hands tonight. Fujisaki Hide was also very excited. He touched Li Que'er's face at any time and said with a smile: "Miss Que'er, it seems that you are really charming. Even Wei Jichen was fascinated by you and came to keep the appointment." Li Que'er was very anxious, and her eyes were full of anxiety. She had given enough hints, so why did Wei Jichen come? "Everyone, be prepared to welcome him. When Wei Jichen steps into the tavern, there will be a loud bang that shakes the earth. Then, the god of death will really go down to be the god of death." Fujisaki Hide said triumphantly. "You, you buried explosives at the door?" Li Que'er said in fear. "Don't worry, my beauty, as long as we see Wei Jichen being blown away, we will take you away quickly. If you lose one lover, we still have so many lovers." Fujisaki Hide was very calm, and his nature as a pervert was revealed. "You, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost." Li Que'er was fluctuating, and bit Fujisaki Hide's shoulder with hatred. "You stinky bitch, you're looking for death." Fujisaki Hide felt the pain, and slapped Li Que'er in the face with his backhand, then said angrily: "Tie her up and stuff her mouth, and after the job is done, you guys can enjoy it together." "Ha!" Yamazaki Gaosaburo's eyes were full of lust, and he wanted to strip Li Que'er's clothes right now, and then wantonly ravage her. Fortunately, he knew that it was not the time to enjoy the big things that were not decided yet, so he had to reluctantly throw the tied Li Que'er aside. Fujisaki Hide kept receiving intelligence that Wei Jichen and his party had arrived there. Seeing Wei Jichen getting closer and closer, he became more and more excited. The waiting time was long. In just a dozen minutes, Fujisaki Hide felt like he had been waiting for a century. Finally, when Fujisaki Hide was almost impatient, Wei Jichen and his party slowly appeared at the intersection. "Yamazaki, go check the explosives again." Fujisaki Hide opened a small hole in the window, just enough to see the situation outside the door. Seeing Wei Jichen about to step into the trap, his hands couldn't help but tremble. Yamazaki had checked several times, but after hearing Fujisaki Hide's order, he had to check again. Several Japanese held their breath and waited for Wei Jichen's arrival. The range of the explosives was the front door. As long as they ignited it and hid in the inner room, they would be safe. "Sir, we have arrived at the wine shop. Why didn't Miss Queer open the door?" The fire brigade member who pretended to be Wei Jichen's personal soldier said while looking around with a pair of eyes, trying to find any flaws. Unfortunately, the Japanese had been prepared for many days, and several people did not find the explosives buried at the door. The fire brigade member pretending to be Wei Jichen was a little nervous. He was now the main target, but when Mengzi handed the matter to him, he did not hesitate at all. "Well, maybe she is waiting inside, we can just go in directly." The fake Wei Jichen tried to imitate Wei Jichen's tone of voice. Several people were secretly alert, pacing and slowly approaching the door of the store. A 'personal soldier' ​​came forward and knocked on the door gently. Seeing no one answered, he pushed the door and it opened. "Sir, the door is open." The 'personal soldier' ​​was stunned and then said. "Let's go in." The fake Wei Jichen touched the rifle between his legs without saying a word and walked in carefully. In the tavern, a ray of light came from the inner room, making the house outside look a little dark, like a man-eating beast about to attack, and it seemed quiet and dull inside.
