Chapter 371 Yang Ningyu's Past

Upon receiving the mission, Qin Lan happily ran out of the village gate, grabbing the silly bear that had just fallen asleep.

Inside the hall, the conversation between Xu Jie and Yang Ningyu was interrupted by Bai Xiumei, who had arranged everything.

"Alright, Xu Jie, you're a veteran Red Party member. Don't you know how brutal the work behind enemy lines is? If Comrade Yang isn't so cautious, he'll end up like your station, wiped out by the Japanese in one fell swoop."

Also, have you found out who betrayed the intelligence station?

Xu Jie opened his mouth, only then realizing he had said too much. Feeling guilty, he wanted to slap himself. He was the one who betrayed the site.

Now we can only hope that Bai Qingping hasn't noticed anything unusual about him.

After calming himself down, Xu Jie quickly responded to Bai Xiumei's words.

"Minister Bai, you're right, I was being too dramatic. I still have no clue who betrayed the site, but don't worry, I will definitely find out who this traitor is."

After hearing Xu Jie's words, she already had some doubts about him, so she didn't continue the conversation and decided to wait for Gao Qiang to return.

So Bai Xiumei changed the subject.

"Xu Jie, where are the three captured comrades being held? When will the Japanese carry out the public execution tomorrow? Have you found out all the details about the Japanese troop deployment?"

When Xu Jie heard that Bai Xiumei was no longer keeping an eye on the traitor, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then said the excuse he had prepared beforehand.

"Minister, I've found out where the Japanese are trying our comrades. It's in a small square in the east of Chunshi City. As for other things, I've asked around, and I expect to get news in about an hour."

After all, my face was already on the Japanese register, so I couldn't get into Chunshi. I had to ask around.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiumei didn't know what to say. Logically speaking, it was indeed inappropriate for Xu Jie to go into the city to gather information on his own.

But her years of experience behind enemy lines deepened her suspicions about Xu Jie.

However, even if it meant waiting an extra hour, Bai Xiumei also wanted to know what kind of company Xu Jie was selling.

So he nodded to Xu Jie and stopped looking at him.

Seeing that Bai Xiumei seemed to believe him, Xu Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's almost midnight now.

However, Xu Jie was right; in a little over an hour, someone would indeed arrive at Heihu Village.

But it wasn't just one person, it was a group of people.

To be precise, it was a squad of Japanese ninjas, who were said to be very powerful.

Xu Jie also heard that this was because the Japanese army had specially borrowed Lieutenant General Matsushita Sanjiro, the commander of Chunshi, from the mainland to ensure the success of this plan, and that he would return immediately after completing the mission.

The plan devised by the Japanese was also very insidious.

They wanted to abduct Bai Xiumei, a high-ranking leader of the Red Party, from the Black Household Village.

After their success, they released a message claiming that Bai Xiumei was a gift sent by Black Tiger Village to their empire in their defection.

In this way, the Black Tiger Stronghold, which frequently attacked them, would definitely be targeted by the Red Party and retaliated against.

This was a double win for the Japanese.

This would both capture high-ranking members of the Communist Party and cause some trouble for Heihuzhai, who often harassed them.

But at this moment, Xu Jie felt that the Japanese plan might have gone astray, but he had no way of informing the Japanese that the leader of the Black Household Village was actually a Red Party spy.

At this moment, Bai Xiumei was unaware of Xu Jie's plans.

Seeing that the silly girl had returned, Bai Xiumei immediately got up and pulled her aside.

"How about it?"

“Aunt, Xiao Luo said there are plenty of ready-made clothes, more than 3000 new sets and more than 4 old sets, but they are all uniforms of the traitors. If you don’t mind, you can go to Manqi Town to get them anytime.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiumei's face immediately lit up with surprise. She hadn't expected her nephew to have so many clothes.

He thought to himself, "What's there to care about?"

Many of their Red Army uniforms were simply Japanese uniforms with a different color.

"Okay, I'll send someone to pick it up when we get back."

After resolving a major issue on her mind, Bai Xiumei looked at Yang Ningyu, who was warming himself by the fire.

"Comrade Yang, I will send someone to deliver a batch of cotton-padded clothes to you in a couple of days.

"Really? Thank you so much, Commander. You've solved a huge problem for me."

As Yang Ningyu spoke, his nose tingled and his eyes welled up with tears.

More than 200 of his soldiers have frozen to death this winter, and finding winter clothes has always been a heavy burden on his mind.

Unexpectedly, his boss, whom he had only just met, had already discerned their predicament before he even brought it up himself.

He was touched that they offered to solve the problem directly.

He knew that the Red Party wasn't having an easy time either.

Thinking of this, Yang Ningyu wiped away the tears that had blurred his vision with his sleeve. He immediately stood up and gave Bai Xiumei a solemn military salute.

"You flatter me, sir. Thank you for solving such a big problem for us."

At this point, Yang Ningyu paused, then continued somewhat embarrassedly.

"Um... Minister Bai, may I ask how many pieces there are? I'd like to be prepared."

"Nearly 2 sets."

"How many...how many? 2 sets!!!"

Yang Ningyu's mouth dropped open when he heard this astonishing number.

But in just a moment, Yang Ningyu came to his senses and, without saying a word, slapped himself hard across the face.

"Snapped."

A crisp slap echoed in the council chamber.

The other three people in the room stared blankly at Yang Ningyu, who had slapped them across the face.

But at this moment, Yang Ningyu was completely unaware of the gazes of Bai Xiumei and the others.

Instead, he excitedly muttered to himself.

"It's not a dream, haha, it's not a dream!!! 20,000 sets!! 20,000!!! Now we'll never have to worry about clothes again, and no more brothers will freeze to death, waa ...

As he spoke, even a tough guy like Yang Ningyu couldn't help but burst into tears.

This made Bai Xiumei and Sha Niu feel a little teary-eyed, especially the simple-minded Sha Niu, who was already clinging to Bai Xiumei's arm and started shedding little pearls.

Xu Jie, standing to the side, looked unsettled.

He hadn't expected that Minister Bai, who had only recently arrived in the northern province, would have such great influence.

2 sets of cotton-padded clothes.

Even the Japanese soldiers couldn't be gathered up in a short time.

Xu Jie was somewhat shocked that Minister Bai could be directly transferred.

Five minutes later, Yang Ningyu finally calmed down.

He apologized to Bai Xiumei again.

"I'm sorry, Minister Bai, I'm sorry you had to see this."

Bai Xiumei waved her hand and said.

"A man doesn't easily shed tears, unless he's truly heartbroken. To be honest, I'm quite curious about what you've been through all these years. Since we're just waiting anyway, would it be convenient for you to tell me about your experience coming to Bei Province?"

"Oh, what's so inconvenient about that? Since Minister Bai wants to hear it, I'll just give a brief explanation."

After saying that, Yang Ningyu fell into memories.
