Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2850 A battle of wits on the grassland!

The Dalai Lama's heart instantly rose to his throat, like a frightened rabbit, and the only sound in his ears was his own pounding heartbeat.

He hurriedly pulled back the quilt, and the radio, which was as big as a brick, was exposed in the military tent, and it was very conspicuous.

He picked up the radio as if it were a bomb that was about to explode, and his eyes scanned the small space frantically, trying to find a hiding place.

Although there were a lot of things in the tent, there was no particularly safe place. His hands were shaking slightly, and he saw a few sacks of beef jerky piled in the corner. He didn't care about much, rushed over and kicked the sacks apart, stuffed the radio in, and hurriedly piled the sacks back up, trying to restore it to its original state.

At this moment, the voices of Wu Gan and the guards outside the door became clearer and clearer. Wurigeng Dalai Lama felt his legs go weak and he could hardly stand.

He forced himself to stand up straight and took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself, but his violently heaving chest and rapid breathing betrayed his inner fear.

"Wurigen Anda, I heard you were injured, so I came to see you."

Wu Gan's voice sounded outside the door, and then the guards' obstruction stopped abruptly. Chief Wu Gan had already lifted the curtain and strode in.

Wurigeng Dalai forced a smile, but it was uglier than crying. He stepped forward, clasped his hands together and said, "Wugang Anda, thank you for your concern. It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

Wu Gan pretended to glance around the military tent subconsciously.

He felt that the Dalai Lama Wurigeng had locked himself in the military tent and not allowed anyone to enter, and that this must be some unspeakable secret.

Except for the messy quilt, there was nothing unusual. Moreover, he could not search the military tent brought by Wurigeng without any evidence, otherwise it would definitely cause dissatisfaction from Wurigeng Dalai Lama and his tribe.

So Wu Gan could only smile with concern and said, "Wurigen Anda, how did you get this injury? You were fine during the last anti-raid, but how come you are injured when you return to the tribe? Is there someone in the tribe who is restless?"

Wurigeng Dalai Lama's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong. He tried to keep his eyes calm and his brain was working rapidly, thinking about how to respond.

He couldn't let Wu Gan know that he was injured by the Japanese, otherwise he would definitely link him to the Japanese.

Because if the Japanese wanted to retaliate against the tribal alliance, then the person to be assassinated should be Wu Gan. Why did they want to assassinate the Dalai Lama Wurigeng?

So it cannot be said that he was injured by the Japanese or Japanese spies.

But he had to find a reasonable excuse, otherwise Wu Gan would still be suspicious.

Now he has realized that although Wu Gan may seem rude, he is actually a smart person and he must not let him catch him.

So after thinking for a while, he quickly pretended to sigh and said, "Alas, Wugan Anda, I'm ashamed to say. On my way back to the tribe, I met a group of horse thieves. When they saw me riding a good horse, they thought I was carrying treasures and had evil intentions. I fought with them with my guards and was injured. But the group of horse thieves didn't get any good results either, and we beat them to a pulp." Wugan naturally didn't believe what Wurigeng Dalai said, because how could the horse bandits on the grassland not recognize Wurigeng Dalai's flag?

So Wu Gan asked with a smile: "Oh? Horse thieves? Horse thieves are so rampant these days? But Wu Rigen Anda, you are highly skilled in martial arts, and you have many guards around you, so how could you be easily injured?"

The sweat on Wurigeng Dalai's forehead appeared again. He raised his hand to wipe it off and said with a casual smile: "You don't know, Wugan Anda, that group of horse thieves is large in number and each of them is extremely fierce. I was trying to protect one of my followers, so I accidentally got stabbed. But this minor injury is nothing to me and will not affect this operation."

Wu Gan saw that Wurigeng Dalai Lama's answer was flawless. Although he had some doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Wurigen Anda is indeed brave. In this case, you should have a good rest. We will set off in an hour."

Wurigeng Dalai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Wugan Anda for your concern. I will take a rest for a while and then order the army to move out immediately."

Wugan nodded, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then turned and left the military tent. The Dalai Lama Wurigeng looked at Wugan's departing back, his legs weakened, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

He secretly swore in his heart that he must get out of this precarious situation as soon as possible, retrieve those photos, and completely sever ties with the Japanese.

·············
At the same time, Wu Gan returned to his camp. Not long after he sat down, a signalman ran in hurriedly, knelt on one knee, and said urgently: "Captain, we just detected an unknown radio signal near our camp. The signal strength and frequency are not what we are using now."

"What did you say? Unknown radio signal?"

Wu Gan, who had just sat down, stood up suddenly because the unknown radio signal meant that someone was transmitting information to the outside world.

At this critical juncture, it is obvious that there must be a spy who is tipping off the Japanese.

At this time, the signalman quickly replied: "Captain, there is indeed an unknown radio signal, and it is very strong. But we don't have detection equipment, so we can't determine its exact location."

When Wu Gan heard this, his heart skipped a beat and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

He recalled the Dalai Lama's panicked expression and evasive answers in the military tent of Wurigeng just now, and felt that the matter was more and more suspicious.

At this time, Nathan, who had been standing aside, also frowned and said in a deep voice: "Anda, I suspect that this unknown radio signal must be someone tipping off the Japanese. Combined with the various behaviors of Wurigeng Dalai Lama before, I even think he is the Japanese spy!"

Wu Gan did not respond immediately. He paced back and forth in the tent, seeming to be hesitating.

Seeing this, Nathan stepped forward and suggested, "Anda, there is no time to lose. Why don't we take people to search the military tent of the Wurigeng Dalai Lama immediately. If we really find the radio station, we can arrest it directly."

Wu Gan stopped and shook his head slowly. "Nathan, I understand your concerns, but we are just guessing and have no solid evidence. If we rashly go to search now, and if Wu Rigeng Dalai doesn't have a radio station or he has moved the radio station, how will we explain to him? How will we explain to his tribe? This will undoubtedly seriously undermine the unity within our tribal alliance."

Nathan said anxiously: "Anda, if it is really Wurigeng Dalai who is collaborating with the enemy, then if we don't take action quickly, once he passes all the information to the Japanese, our plan will be ruined! And it will also implicate Qi Anda!"
