Pretenders are unattainable

When Mingtai and Manli returned to Shanghai, they were acutely aware that the security in Shanghai seemed to have been relaxed a lot. The two understood that Minglou and Mingcheng should have made great efforts to limit the large-scale round-up of the Japanese. action.After being away from home for many days, both of them are eager to return home.

During the period when Mingtai and Manli were away from home, Mingjing basically didn't care about managing the company's affairs, and was restless every day. Minglou and Mingcheng's consolation had little effect. Only Huizhi often came home to talk to her. Xu Xu's heart-to-heart talk can slightly relieve Ming Jing's uneasy mood.Seeing this, Minglou and Mingcheng regard Huizhi as a life-saving straw, and Mingcheng turns into a coachman to pick up Huizhi from work to Ming's house on time every day to pick up Huizhi's dinner at Minli Middle School.

So when Mingtai and Manli returned home, Mingjing had been looking forward to it for a long time.Seeing the two of them, it was natural that they would be indifferent to each other.During dinner, Ming Jing looked at the family members sitting around the table, and all the melancholy disappeared naturally.

After dinner, Mingcheng sent Huizhi home as usual, while Mingtai and Manli went to Minglou's study to report to him about their trip south.Minglou is naturally very satisfied with the completion of the mission of the two, and it is also extremely surprising to hear that Mingtai has contacted the leader of the underground operation team of the future Shanghai organization.Minglou is cautious, so he asked Mingtai about the team leader in detail, but the team leader codenamed "Silver Eagle" was not a good character. During the time Mingtai and Manli stayed in Hengyang, He tried his best to be a landlord, but his personal identity and background did not allow the two of them to dig out any clues.It was Manli's unintentional words that reminded Minglou: "His wife's nickname seems to be 'Dandan'".Minglou quickly sorted out possible characters and clues in his mind, and said with a smile, "I probably know the identity of this person. The two of you will definitely have contact with him in the future, but this person is calm and calm, so you can rest assured and be bold." His trust and obedience. Don’t underestimate his wife, if I’m not mistaken, she should be a master known as the ‘trap master’.”

Mingtai and Manli looked at each other, not knowing what kind of legendary person they had passed by, and they couldn't help yearning for it.

Minglou waited for the two of them to calm down, and then said slowly and seriously: "What I'm going to tell you next, please stay calm." Mingtai and Manli looked at each other, and Mingtai stood up and replied: " Tell me, sir!" Minglou waved his hand to signal them to sit down, took a deep breath, and said, "About your teacher, Wang Tianfeng..." He looked at Mingtai and Manli's wide-open eyes, and although he couldn't bear it, he continued. He went on to say: "All his previous actions were to ensure that the Japanese can trust the authenticity of the codebook of the third war zone that you passed on, so..." Mingtai couldn't help interjecting: "Brother, your It means...the teacher deliberately...betrayed?" Manli also had a face full of disbelief, her lips trembling.Minglou signaled Mingtai to pay attention to Manli's emotions. Mingtai turned around and found that Manli's face was indeed pale, and immediately understood that she had killed Wang Tianfeng with her own hands, so he quickly wrapped his arms around Manli and patted her on the back to comfort her.

Minglou continued: "You don't need to blame yourself, and you don't need to feel guilty. Death at the hands of any of you was originally part of his plan. He arranged for the two of you and Guo Qiyun to send out two codebooks. But these two codebooks are all fake, and what he wants to achieve is to make the Japanese believe that the information sent by your group is true through the sacrifices of intelligence personnel, including his own death, so that according to this The codebook prompted the Japanese to change their strategic defenses in the Third War Zone, and the result of this named 'Dead Time Plan' was a great victory in the Third War Zone, as you all have seen."

Mingtai was completely shocked, and he sat on the sofa and muttered to himself: "Sun Tzu's Art of War..."

Manli looked up, her face was covered with tears, she stared at Minglou and asked, "So I was actually abandoned that time at the Chuansha City Wall, right? I should have died for my country at that time. After I was arrested, Wang Manchun told me Guo Qiyun was beaten to death by the teacher himself, so Guo Qiyun and I are pawns, even Mingtai is a pawn, right?"

With the sympathy of a high-ranking person and a seasoned senior, Minglou seemed to be answering Manli and himself: "Yes, we are all pawns, you are, Guo Qiyun is, Mingtai is, Wang Tianfeng is, I am ...also..." But he regained his emotions in an instant, and encouraged: "But even if we are pawns, we are living pawns. Man Li, you performed very well in this dead time plan. I have been with Ah Honestly speaking, you are the one who made the whole game alive!" He looked at Manli with tears in his eyelashes, and continued to comfort him: "You don't have to feel guilty, Mingtai originally planned to kill him in Wang Tianfeng's plan, but he underestimated him. The ability of the students taught by yourself, you entered No. 76 alive, Mingtai was not exposed, he had no way to be executed as a 'betrayer', so he found you. When he faced you, he thought Execute him by your hands to win the trust of the Japanese, and he will die willingly, and he deserves his death!"

Manli was still in tears, shaking her head and crying: "I actually...I really thought he had betrayed...I hate him for betraying Mingtai, I hate him for killing Guo Qiyun..." She stretched out her hands tremblingly: "I used The way he taught me... with the weapon he helped me choose...to kill him..."

Mingtai hugged Manli tightly, comforting in a low voice: "Manli...Manli...this is the teacher's own choice..."

Minglou turned and left, as if he had gone to a desk drawer to get something, returned to the sofa, and stretched out his palm to Mingtai Manli who was hugging her. Mingtai hugged Manli, Manli saw Ming In Lou's palm lay two emerald rings quietly.

Mingtai picked up the two rings with trembling hands, and said, "This is a prop for the two of us to pretend to be husband and wife when we went to Chongqing for the first time. Brother, what is this?"

Minglou smiled miserably: "Ah Cheng discovered this when he was sorting out Wang Tianfeng's belongings. I think it should be left to you. Master Tiandi, master and teacher, you are his beloved disciples, and he recognizes you from the bottom of his heart."

Mingtai was silent, and slowly slipped the female ring into Manli's left ring finger, and put the male ring on by himself. After a long time, he said, "Thank you teacher." A drop of hot tears fell to the ground.

Minglou looked at Manli who was already in a trance. Although he couldn't bear it, he continued: "Ah Cheng handled the remains of Wang Tianfeng and Guo Qiyun. This situation is under the watchful eyes of the Japanese. Ah Cheng All we can do is to ensure that the body will not be insulted, that there will be no coffin or wrap, and that it will be buried in a green hill."

Mingtai raised his head and asked, "Brother, where did Brother Ah Cheng bury them? Manli and I...go to worship..."

Minglou smiled calmly: "With our current status, going to pay homage to the nameless tomb is a shame. Even though Ah Cheng made a mark when he was buried, there is no monument and no food, and he doesn't know that when the war is over, Where else can I look for it. This battle is stalemate, we don’t know when we will die, let’s forget it, loyal bones are buried everywhere in Qingshan, and rivers and mountains have their own heroic names.”

Mingtai and Manli also understood that Minglou's words were correct. How could they go to pay homage to their teacher's tomb because of their special identities?He could only stand silently with his head bowed, the two emerald rings on his clasped hands were shining brightly under the light.
