mountain chase

Besides, a group of people who have successfully escaped from Nanjing City.Sure enough, it was exactly as planned at that time—going out of the city to the east and into the mountains, the Japanese would no longer be able to find the shadow of Fourth Master Qiao and others.

Even so, everyone did not dare to delay at all - Noda Benichiro is an extremely vindictive person, who knows when it will be truly safe?Everyone hurried on their way in silence, and they didn't really relax until they got out of the border of Jiangsu Province.

"Fourth Master Joe", not long after leaving the boundary of Jiangsu Province, the big truck in front stopped, and Xiao Zhang walked over - he followed Wang Dachuan when he made his fortune in Shaanxi more than ten years ago, so he also It is half in charge. "Since it is safe now, our mission has also been completed. Although the boss did not come out with us, the brothers under him still have to offend, and - we also have our things to do!"

"If that's the case, let's leave it at this point." Fourth Master Qiao thought for a moment, he took out the letter Wang Dachuan gave him from his body, took out the letter paper inside, and took the envelope Xiao Zhang: "Let's go in a hurry , I didn’t bring anything to commemorate, you keep this, if it is useful in the future, when you come to my Qiao’s house, bring it to me, and I, Qiao Si, will definitely not refuse.”

Xiao Zhang hesitated for a moment, he naturally recognized Wang Dachuan's crooked characters, but he still accepted it: "Thank you, Fourth Master, take care all the way!"

"Take care of yourself!"

When Xiao Zhang took their people away, there were only a dozen or so scattered people left.Wu Zhongguo is one of them. He is a member of the Nationalist Party. After the matter is over, he will naturally return to Chongqing to return to his order. "Fourth Master, since you are not traveling with Xiao Zhang and the others, then..." No wonder he asked, everyone knows that since Qiao's family moved from Beiping to Nanjing, it has been a bit exhausted. Made in Nanjing and the six northern provinces.Now that the six northern provinces and Nanjing are already in the territory of the Japanese, Fourth Master Qiao—naturally has no place to go.

"Go to Chongqing." Fourth Master Qiao said flatly without even thinking about it.

Yes, Chongqing—he still has important things to do.

chongqing.

The Central Office of the KMT Army.

Wu Zhongguo's reinstatement work was arranged in Mr. Dai's office, which made him very panicked.You know, he is just an operative of the intelligence department of the Shanghai underground party, and now he can report his work in front of Boss Dai, which is a great honor—and also a great crisis!

The debriefing time was not long, and Wu Zhongguo came out in less than half an hour.But when he left the gate of the Central Office, his legs became weak, and he put one hand on the stone lion at the gate, and took a deep breath.

But no matter what, the matter above has nothing to do with him.

"headmaster."

Wu Zhongguo's statement of work was put on the table at this time.Dai Li was standing opposite. He was over forty years old. He was wearing a dark green military uniform, which together with his curvy figure and drooping corners of his mouth formed a thick black shadow.

"Ah...Little Si'er is really capable." Generalissimo Jiang raised the corners of his mouth lightly. Since the fall of Nanjing, when the secret agents heard the news that Noda was besieging Qiao's family, he thought—the young master of Qiao's family was dead. .

I didn't expect, oh, I didn't expect, this weak boy can really do something.

"Then what does he want now?"

"Our people arranged Qiao Xuemei to live in the hotel at the reception of the central government. Now he just said that he wanted to see you. He said that he had something to discuss with you." Mr. Dai said.

"Is there anything you want to discuss with me?" Principal Jiang raised his eyebrows and said contemptuously: "Nanjing has already fallen, and the place that was missed by the Japanese - what else is there left for his Qiao family? He still wants to discuss it with me. He has the qualifications..." and so on.Principal Jiang stopped in the middle of his speech.

"headmaster?"

"Dai Li, in your opinion, who is this Qiao Xuemei?" Principal Jiang leaned back and asked.

"Subordinates think..." Mr. Dai thought about it for a while, as if he didn't have any impression of this person in his memory, "Subordinates have only seen photos of this person and heard a few people's descriptions of him. I think—— A relatively calm and calm young man. But since the principal asks this question, then this person should not be Fan Jiao."

Hearing this, Principal Jiang smiled: "Then you know Qiao Hengzhou, right?"

"Of course this subordinate knows, he is a very smart businessman with great vision!"

"Hehe, that's right." Principal Jiang said: "In my opinion, compared with his father, this little four is better than blue. In terms of mind, strategy, and vision, he is at the very top! It is the body that has always been Not very good. Sigh——Heaven is jealous of Yingcai." He sighed: "It's just right, I don't have anything to do tomorrow morning, so you can bring him to my house to meet me. I haven't seen Xiao Sier for a long time."

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Jiang's mansion.

Fourth Master Qiao got up early in the morning. He was wearing a white long gown that was rushed out overnight from a master craftsman in Chongqing yesterday, and a satin double-breasted short jacket on the outside. Due to the rush of time, it was only light blue plain satin. , but the buckle is exquisite, and the stitches are fine and docile.

When he went, he was just in time for Principal Jiang to finish his breakfast—it was a rare day off, and Principal Jiang was also a little lazy when he got up in the morning.

"Is Xiaosi here?" As soon as he entered the door, he heard Principal Jiang's characteristic loud voice inside.

"Master, yes." The leading old lady replied respectfully, and invited Fourth Master Qiao to sit in the study on the second floor.

After sitting down, Principal Jiang came in.Behind him was a servant who brought tea.

"Sit and sit!" As soon as he came, Dai Li and the other two adjutants immediately stood up to greet him.

After everyone sat down, the servants served tea one by one.Principal Jiang picked up the cup and smiled at Fourth Master Qiao, "I know you're coming, so I specially asked someone to buy the best tea from the tea store yesterday afternoon. How about you try it?"

Fourth Master Qiao also laughed, holding the teacup with his left hand, and using the lid to remove the tea leaves on it with his right hand, he blew lightly, smelled the fragrance again, and Cai took a sip. "It's really good tea."

The people next to him also nodded.

"Oh, it's been a few years. Since Nanjing left, now—I'm afraid I won't recognize you." Principal Jiang sighed.Although Fourth Master Qiao still had the same indifferent appearance, his eyebrows and eyes hadn't changed, and his exquisiteness hadn't changed—but his temperament had indeed changed, and he was even more silent. Before, it was just the arrogance of a young genius, but now it's even more so. Through the vicissitudes of silence.Even his smile was different from the previous radiance, and the feeling of fatigue and fatigue was finally reflected in his body.

"Xiao Si'er said yesterday that he wanted to discuss something with me. I don't know what it is?"

"It's like this. When I came out of Nanjing, a servant was trapped inside. The Military Command Nanjing Station always has a lot of talented people. I want to ask my uncle to help me out."

He said it bluntly, even using "uncle" who would never call him, obviously because he was eager and wanted to get closer.

When Principal Jiang heard this, he turned several times in his heart: "It's just a domestic servant. Besides, you know very well that the Japanese are biting people like mad dogs when Nanjing City passes by you. Our own underground party in Nanjing has already had a location exposed. Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to save people."

"I know this well. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to seek your help, Uncle." Fourth Master Qiao thought for a while, "It's just that this person is very important to me, and I can't do without saving it."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Principal Jiang became curious: "In this way, is it possible that this person has something very important in his hands? For example... information?"

Fourth Master Qiao smiled, but did not answer.

At this time, Dai Li said: "Principal, it is not impossible to do what Mr. Qiao entrusted. As far as I know, the person Mr. Qiao wants to save is a man named Wang, right?"

"Exactly."

"Oh, I have heard about this man, and he is also a patriot who resisted Japan. If he is really important to Mr. Qiao, our military commander is not incapable of saving him, but as you know, Fourth Master Qiao, he wants to fight against the Japanese at the moment. How much manpower and material resources will be spent to save a person..."

"Of course I know this," said Fourth Master Qiao. "It just so happens that I have a railway route for the Japanese to transport supplies from Nanjing Wharf to the Central China Theater. Now that I live here, I still have to give this gift."

As soon as Fourth Master Qiao finished speaking, Mr. Dai asked impatiently, "Where is it going?"

"Wuhan."

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.Everyone knows that the national army and the Japanese are now fighting in full swing. Wuhan is the most important transportation hub in Central China. If we can really cut off the delivery channel of this strategic material, it will greatly reduce the burden of our army on the Central China battlefield. pressure.

"Can you ensure the accuracy of this message?"

"Naturally." Fourth Master Qiao lowered his eyes. Ever since he accidentally discovered this transportation channel at Noda and was rescued by Wang Dachuan, he has been sending people to watch this transportation channel. The delivery of strategic materials in China is always this way, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"Okay." Principal Jiang pondered for a while, "If what you said is true, then we will definitely rescue the person you want."

"Then - thank you very much." Fourth Master Qiao nodded. "Specific things, let's find time to discuss them again?"

"can."

Everyone sat for a while before they dispersed.

"Principal, are we really going to help Qiao Xuemei get rid of that man?" Dai Li stood in front of the window and asked only after Fourth Master Qiao's car left Jiang's mansion. "This man named Wang Dachuan seems to be a member of the Communist Party!"

"Oh." Principal Jiang just responded.

"Principal?" Dai Li didn't get the answer he wanted and was puzzled.

"Yunong, in fact, whether this person is a Communist or not is not so important anymore." Principal Jiang said, his tone was flat, "It is no longer the Qing Dynasty, let alone the Republic of China ten years ago— —This day and age, if you don’t have an army, you’re shit.” Yeah.Whether it's Qiao Hengzhou or Qiao Xuemei, he doesn't want to continue doing business with this kind of person anymore.

"When you get the road map, just find someone to fool you and forget it. Sometimes there is no need to be so serious about such small things—right?"

"Yes, principal." Mr. Dai nodded.

In the car, Lin Shuang was also talking about it with Fourth Master Qiao.He felt that it was not a good thing for fourth master to show his cards so early.

"You don't understand." Fourth Master Qiao shook his head, "The present is not the same as it used to be. Today's Qiao's family has nothing to look at from Principal Jiang. Now that we are in Chongqing, we have to give them See something, otherwise - we will not have a good life in Chongqing in the future. As for Wang Dachuan -" Qiao Si was silent for a while: "After all, he decided to stay in Nanjing because of me. If he can't be rescued -"

He didn't go on, but Lin Shuang understood from his tone that Wang Dachuan——was no longer the man before the fall of Nanjing City. Before he knew it, he already had something in Fourth Master Qiao's heart. A very important amount.

"By the way, make arrangements for me tomorrow. I want to meet with these people. Pay attention, try to keep it as secret as possible." Fourth Master Qiao took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang opened it and took a look—it was full of several important generals who held real power in Chongqing. "Okay, I understand." It seems that Fourth Master Qiao doesn't have the slightest trust in Principal Jiang.
