Chapter 887: Exposing His Past
On the other side of the mountain, flames suddenly shot up into the sky.
The young Taoist Qingquan ran over and shouted, "Master! The Ghost Temple is on fire."
Xuan Zhenzi stroked his beard and said, "Hmm! The temple is burning down with fire. Mr. Chu! Do you want to go put out the fire?"
Needless to say, he knew that it was Xiang Chu's men who did it, and out of kindness, he wanted to put out the fire when he saw it.
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "No need! It's better to burn down the Ghost Temple, otherwise it will be a disaster to leave it in the beautiful Laoshan Mountain."
Xu Lai hurriedly said, "Master! Those Fusang monks during the day were not kind people."
Xuan Zhenzi nodded and said, "Yes! These Fusang monks who came to Laoshan are all wine and meat lovers. Some of them even stalked and murdered the girls in the mountains. The Ghost Temple should be burned down."
Qingquan said with some concern: "Master! I hope the fire will not blow to our temple with the help of the wind."
Xuan Zhenzi waved his hand and said, "It won't happen at such a long distance! But our Taoist temple was almost burned down by that devil general today. We are really lucky."
Xiang Chu smiled and asked, "Master! Is that Japanese general fat, kind-looking, and gentle-spoken, but actually very cruel?"
Xuan Zhenzi nodded and said, "Yes! You are a beast in human form. You insist on learning the art of walking through walls."
Xiang Chu sneered and said, "That man is the big spy of the devil, Doihara Xian'er. He kills people without blinking an eye. We really should lure him here. Laoshan will not lack a piece of land for his grave."
Xu Lai smiled and said, "Brother Chu! Let's go back to the camp. I will send a message to the bamboo agency to invite Doihara Xian'er to come over to make a movie. I will give him a villain role and make the fake movie real and get rid of him."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yeah! He must really want to be a big star."
In order to avoid disturbing the Taoist temple and to facilitate filming, the film shooting camp was set up in the Zizhu Mountain forest.
Several marching tents were set up in the open space beside the lake in the forest, and a fence was set up around them.
Xu Lai entered the tent and immediately sent an invitation telegram to Doihara Ken'er in the name of Xiang Chu.
Soon, I received a reply from Kenji Doihara.
"Captain of the Film Bureau! The Empire is waging a holy war, and you actually have time to go to Laoshan to shoot a movie. You even want to drag General Ben into the water. You are such an uneducated and unskilled dandy."
Seeing that he was not coming, Xiang Chu wanted to get some information and replied to the telegram: "The head of this agency is very leisurely now, unlike you who has to go outside the pass to be ordered around like a dog."
Doihara Kan'er replied: "I am grateful for the favor of the leader. I will not go to the border area. I will return to the country immediately to accept a top-secret mission. You don't have this treatment."
Xiang Chu thought for a moment and sent a clichéd telegram: "What top-secret mission? Isn't it just 'going south' and attacking Chongqing, the temporary capital of the Chiang Kai-shek government?"
Doihara Kan'er replied: "What about the specific details? You will never know. An idle person like you is only worthy of looking up to this general."
Xiang Chu replied to the message: "Don't act so arrogant. You don't know the details. Go back to your Gangshan County and raise pigs."
After a long time, Doihara Kenji sent a long telegram: "I have heard the specific details a long time ago. I plan to make friends with the Soviet Union first, sign a non-aggression treaty, and then launch a large-scale attack on the Zaoyi area.
Then destroy the US Pacific Fleet, go to Southeast Asia and seize the Dutch Indonesian oil fields..."
Xiang Chu was overjoyed, as Doihara Ken'er and others had told him all the Japanese's next strategic intelligence.
He immediately replied to the message: "This is nonsense! Go back to Okayama and feed yourself."
Xu Lai looked at the telegrams between the two of them and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Chu! This Doihara Xian'er is so silly and cute."
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "He is bent on stepping on me and competing with me. No one else would send such a telegram."
Xu Lai looked at his watch and smiled, "It's two o'clock in the morning now. Doihara Ken'er shouldn't send any more telegrams."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No! This is the most exciting moment of his day."
As expected, Doihara Kenji sent another telegram:
"Fujiwara no Pig! You must return to Nanjing to protect your wife and children, or you will be killed by Zheng Jie, the assistant director of the Chinese Military Control Commission."
Xiang Chu was shocked and politely replied, "Thank you, Doihara! How did you know that Zheng Jie was going to Nanjing to assassinate me?"
The two sides called each other "Big Pig" and felt like a pair of old friends.
Doihara Kenji responded for the first time: "Trojan Horse! But from now on, the Trojan Horse will be handed over to Minamizō Yunko. I am leaving now, and I hope you can make the worst movie possible."
Xiang Chu was too lazy to pay attention to him and said with a wry smile: "Alai! If Nan Zao Yunzi controls the Trojans, it will be a disaster for us."
Xu Lai said angrily, "What are you afraid of? If you can't afford to offend her, can't you just hide away? Why don't we stay in Shanghai? Let's hide in Hong Kong or Chongqing, where she can't even catch our shadow."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Okay! After we finish filming this movie, we will go to Nanjing first, pick up Man Xue and Nan Feng, then go back to Hong Kong, and then go to Chongqing to show the film."
Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Chu! Nanjing is now the target of public criticism. I'm afraid you have to steal this mother and son out."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! Steal the wife and children."
At this time, the radio transmission sounded.
Xu Lai hurriedly copied and translated the message, and said with a smile: "Brother Chu! Sister Xi called and asked you not to go to Nanjing in the near future. Because Zheng Jie of the Military Intelligence Bureau found her and wants us to help destroy the Wang Puppet 'Return to the Capital Ceremony'."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Alai! Tell Sister Xi that the news she got was already obtained by Doihara Xian'er through the Trojan Horse. We are filming an anti-Japanese war movie in Laoshan, and we will return to Chongqing to show it as soon as we finish filming."
Xu Lai smiled and said, "You look so anxious. The film hasn't even started shooting yet, but you're already thinking about showing it."
Xiang Chu said disapprovingly: "We act every day, making a movie is not that difficult."
Chongqing, Military Intelligence Bureau meeting room.
Dai Nong convened a meeting overnight and reported: "Everyone! Assistant Director Zheng hasn't even left Chongqing yet, but Nanjing already knows that he is going to take people there to carry out the punishment mission. His photos are posted all over the streets and alleys. The news must have leaked from among us."
Everyone remained silent. Zheng Jie didn't want to go to Nanjing to carry out the mission. The news was leaked, and it was most likely he was the one who did it.
Zheng Jie said indignantly: "The director is right. Someone must have leaked our itinerary. Otherwise, how did the Japanese Special High Section and Li Shiqun's No. 76 know about it?"
Mao Feng pretended to be a good guy and said with a wry smile: "Director! Old Zheng! I don't think there are any traitors among us. The Japanese Special High Section and Unit 76 got the information through other channels."
Everyone didn't want to take responsibility, so they echoed, "Yes! They must have gotten hold of it through some other channel."
Zheng Jie spread his hands and pretended to be very angry and said, "Director! I can't carry out this mission. Let those who think there are no traitors do it. As long as they sign up, the streets of Nanjing will be covered with his photos."
But Dai Nong was determined to send him to Nanjing to die. He waved his hand and said, "Assistant Zheng! This mission must be assigned to you. Assistant Mao! You should enlighten him. Meeting adjourned!"
After saying this, he picked up his briefcase and walked out of the meeting room.
Everyone looked at each other and hurriedly got up and left.
Mao Feng and Zheng Jie were the only people left in the meeting room, making it seem very deserted.
Zheng Jie said bitterly: "This Dai Nong must have something against me and wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife."
Mao Feng pretended to be concerned and said, "Old Zheng! Keep your voice down, it would be bad if that person heard it. Oh, right! Didn't I ask you to find Secretary Song?"
Zheng Jie said helplessly: "I looked for it! But they didn't even click on it, and they said Chu Xi went abroad and didn't care about domestic affairs."
Mao Feng said thoughtfully: "But what Secretary Song said indicates that Chu Xi may be in Nanjing."
Zheng Jie said bitterly: "If he were in Nanjing, I would find him in a minute and expose his true colors."
