Chapter 370 Starlight Yang Ningyu
11:11pm.
Just as Bai Luo was still basking in the joy of his unexpected success, Bai Xiumei, along with Bai Luo's personal team and more than 50 special forces members, finally made contact with Xu Jie and Yang Yu, who had been waiting for a long time.
Upon meeting her, Bai Xiumei frowned.
Too thin, far too thin!
The man in front of her, Yang Yu, had become so thin that he looked almost unrecognizable. His unkempt appearance, dark complexion, and gaunt features made it difficult for Bai Xiumei to determine his approximate age.
He looked to be a little over 7 meters tall, but Bai Xiumei felt he probably weighed less than 100 kilograms.
His shoes looked rather flimsy, creating a stark contrast with Xu Jie standing next to him.
If Bai Xiumei didn't know their identities, she would have thought that Xu Jie was the leader of the Black Household Village.
Moreover, the bandits following him didn't look like bandits at all. If they weren't carrying weapons, Bai Xiumei would have thought they were a group of refugees.
"Minister Bai, we've finally waited for you. Let me introduce you. This is the leader of Black Tiger Stronghold..."
"Minister Bai Qingping, this is Yang Ningyu from Xingguang reporting for duty!"
Before Xu Jie could finish his introduction, Yang Yu, also known as Yang Ningyu, interrupted him and gave Bai Xiumei a military salute.
"Starlight? You are Starlight! The Level One Dark Agent, Starlight Yang Ningyu!"
Bai Xiumei never expected that the last Level 1 spy that had landed in her hands was actually in the Northern Province. No wonder when she was preparing to come to the Northern Province, the old leader said that there was a surprise waiting for her after she arrived.
She initially thought it was Little Radish, but upon closer inspection, she realized it wasn't right. Little Radish would send her messages every week on time.
She knew that Little Radish was in the Northern Province.
The old leader knew this. Bai Xiumei, now in the northern province, would occasionally think of the surprise the old leader had mentioned, but she never knew what it was.
It wasn't until Yang Ningyu appeared that I finally understood what the old leader meant by "surprise".
"Yes, Minister Bai."
After Yang Ningyu confirmed her identity, Bai Xiumei excitedly took two quick steps to Yang Ningyu and grasped his hands, which were covered in frostbite and were ice cold.
Bai Xiumei frowned slightly as she felt as if she were holding an ice cube in her hand.
Without saying a word, he released Yang Ningyu's cold hand and grabbed Yang Ningyu's seemingly thick clothes.
After kneading it carefully for a while, under Yang Ningyu's astonished gaze, Bai Xiumei tore it open with both hands.
"Thorn."
Bai Xiumei ripped a large hole in Yang Ningyu's clothes in an instant.
But what was inside the lining of her clothes instantly brought tears to Bai Xiumei's eyes.
"You... why are you wearing clothes filled with dry grass! Where's the cotton?! This is -30 degrees Celsius and you're wearing this?!"
Yang Ningyu gave a wry smile.
"My Minister Bai, let's go back first, and I'll tell you slowly when we get back."
"Yes, yes, let's go back first. You're all dressed too lightly."
As she spoke, Bai Xiumei untied the snow cloak that Bai Luo had given her and draped it over Yang Ningyu.
Yang Ningyu was about to refuse when Bai Xiumei glared at him and silenced him.
He could only awkwardly wear this cloak, which clearly had the characteristics of women's clothing.
The bandits who followed him watched their leader's awkward appearance.
They all looked like they wanted to laugh but dared not.
After Bai Xiumei ordered her men to hide the truck that had arrived, she immediately followed Yang Ningyu to their village.
As for Silly Girl's cat-shaped car, she drove it into the back of the truck when they were almost at Chunshi, and wrapped it tightly in canvas.
This was Bai Xiumei's order, because Liu Qiao told him that there were a lot of Japanese spies here.
.
After entering the village, Bai Xiumei's brows never relaxed.
As soon as Bai Xiumei followed Yang Ningyu into their meeting room, she couldn't wait to speak.
"Ning Yu, how many people do you have in total?"
"There are 4345 of us."
Without a second thought, Yang Ningyu revealed his family's financial situation.
Xu Jie, who had been unable to get a word in edgewise, couldn't help but show a hint of unease in his eyes.
"So many! Weren't you told there would only be about 3000 people?"
Bai Xiumei asked with some doubt, while turning her gaze to Xu Jie sitting to the side.
After noticing Bai Xiumei's gaze, Xu Jie immediately began to explain.
"Minister Bai, when I asked Chief Yang... before it was Comrade Yang, he told me there were only 3000 people!!"
As Xu Jie spoke, he avoided Bai Xiumei's gaze and looked at Yang Ningyu. He paused for a moment, then continued.
"Comrade Yang, are you implying that you don't trust me? This is an insult to my Party spirit. I, Xu Jie, have been a member of the Red Party for almost seven years. I've been wounded and bled for the organization. Now my left leg aches terribly on rainy days. Don't I deserve your trust?"
Xu Jie's tone was very excited, but upon closer listening, there seemed to be a hint of barely perceptible panic in his voice.
"Comrade Xu, I'm not targeting you personally. The situation in Chunshi is very brutal right now, and given my past experiences, I don't trust anyone except Minister Bai. If you feel I've insulted you, I apologize."
Bai Xiumei wasn't paying much attention to their conversation; instead, she was thinking about where she could quickly obtain a large quantity of cloth and cotton to provide Yang Ningyu's team with warm winter clothing, and also, food.
Along the way, Bai Xiumei made her own observations and discoveries.
Although the bandits here have the name of bandits, they are all very easygoing and have nothing to do with bandits at all.
Most of them were as thin as Yang Ningyu, which was obviously caused by long-term hunger.
Unlike Little Radish's personal guard, which was called the New Ninth Army, whose soldiers were all as strong as oxen.
Yes, little radish.
Thinking of this, Bai Xiumei immediately glanced at the silly girl following behind her.
He whispered in the silly girl's ear.
"Silly girl, go contact Little Radish and ask him if he can get some cotton and cloth. If he can get ready-made clothes, that would be even better."
And remember to go without anyone noticing.
As Bai Xiumei said this, she glanced at Xu Jie, who was arguing with Yang Ningyu and was getting quite agitated.
She sensed that something was off about Xu Jie.
Yang Ningyu's actions were understandable to any comrade who had worked behind enemy lines, but Xu Jie's reaction was a bit too much.
Thinking of this, Bai Xiumei made a gesture to Gao Qiang, who was also subtly observing Xu Jie. Gao Qiang received Bai Xiumei's signal.
He nodded slightly.
Gao Qiang left the council hall without making a sound, and then quickly went to the temporary house that Yang Ningyu had arranged for the special forces team.
As soon as he entered the house, Gao Qiang immediately closed the door.
"Listen to me, everyone. Something's not right with that Xu Jie. Everyone, get your gear ready and scout the entire area within a 10-kilometer radius of this village."
"Sister Qiao, keep a close eye on that intelligence station chief named Xu Jie. Don't let him out of your sight for a moment. If anything happens, subdue Xu Jie immediately and report to the minister. Okay, everyone, move out now."
"Yes."
"Gao Qiang, what about me?"
Qin Lan, who was half-lying against the silly bear, listened to Gao Qiang talk for a long time, but found that she had nothing to do with it. She immediately became restless and asked Gao Qiang for advice.
Gao Qiang gets a headache every time he sees Qin Lan. This girl would definitely be a peerless master in ancient times, but her marksmanship is truly indescribable.
"You...you..."
Gao Qiang thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how to arrange things for Qin Lan. Suddenly, he noticed the cat ears on Qin Lan's head swaying slightly.
A thought flashed through his mind. This girl seemed to be not only skilled in martial arts, but also incredibly fast.
"Qin Lan, you're pretty fast, right? How about... you check out the surrounding 15 kilometers?"
