Chapter 1414: The Bowl of Heavenly Khan Li Shimin
Zheng Jie didn't want Mao Feng to be in the spotlight, so he said in a sarcastic tone:
"Assistant Mao! Catching underground members of the Red Party is the job of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. They are very familiar with this. How can we possibly be better than them?"
Mao Feng said unhappily: "Old Zheng! You certainly can't imagine that the Special Committee has already successfully arrested Luo, the Secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Committee of the Red Party... How can I tell you this? Haha!"
Mao Feng felt that he had let something slip and stopped talking quickly.
Zheng Jie said unhappily, "What's the point of arresting these openly exposed Red Party members? The Central Bureau of Investigation is keeping a close eye on Yangzijiang and other bookstores, and is trying to arrest the Red Party members lurking in the upper echelons of our party."
Mao Feng taunted him, "I'm afraid he has other intentions. Xu Zeng has people hanging around the Yangtze River Bookstore all day long. Isn't he afraid that Lord Chu's people will kill him?"
Tang Cong said helpfully, "Now that the KMT and the CPC are cooperating, Xu Zengming blatantly sent people to the Yangtze River Bookstore to arrest Red Party members. Even if they were caught, it would not be appropriate."
Zheng Jie hated Tang Cong for supporting Mao Feng and angrily said, "Tang Cong! Are you sympathizing with the Red Party members by saying this?"
Tang Cong stood up and said angrily, "I don't sympathize with you! Be careful with your words and don't slander me."
Dai Nong didn't like his subordinates forming cliques, so he pretended to be furious and shouted, "Tang Cong! How dare you swear in public? That's too much!"
Tang Cong hurriedly apologized, "Director! I was just slandered as sympathizing with the Red Party, and I was too emotional. I am really sorry! I voluntarily accept your punishment."
Dai Nong said angrily: "You take the anti-traitor team to northern Jiangsu and assassinate Li Changjiang and his capable subordinates. Meeting adjourned!"
After saying this, he picked up his notebook, stood up and walked out of the meeting room.
Zheng Jie hurriedly apologized to Tang Cong: "Old Tang! I just said something out of turn, I really didn't mean it."
"Don't be hypocritical!"
Tang Cong yelled at him and hurriedly chased Dai Nong out of the meeting room.
Mao Feng caught up with him, grabbed him, pulled him aside and whispered:
"Old Tang! Don't look for the director. He sent you there just to show the people above him. It's just an act."
Tang Cong said bitterly: "Lao Mao! I have to go behind enemy lines again if I want to act. It's too dangerous now."
Mao Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry! Go visit the Chu Mansion first, and then bring Mei Xiaoyong and Wang Batian, who have rich experience in escape, to save your life behind enemy lines."
Tang Cong nodded and said, "Okay! And Wang Kuankuan, Zheng Jie escaped death several times, didn't he bring the three of them with him?"
Mao Feng smiled mysteriously and said, "You can tell Ning Caiwei that the Central Bureau of Investigation sent people to monitor the Yangtze River Bookstore."
Tang Cong knew that he didn't want the Central Bureau to get the credit, so he nodded and said, "Yes! But why don't you tell Kong Ling and Song Xi? They have bad tempers and will definitely give Xu Zeng a good beating."
Mao Feng smiled and said, "Ning Caiwei is in charge of the Yangtze River Bookstore. Besides, Lord Chu likes her the most, and if she helps you, Lord Chu will definitely do it."
"It makes sense!"
Tang Cong nodded heavily.
Shijiazhai, south of Lankao City.
Xiang Chu's convoy avoided the dog soldiers and made a detour all the way back here.
When the Yellow River burst its dike at Huayuankou in the past, the people in the village had already fled.
The so-called village is actually a fortress from the Ming Dynasty.
There is a gate in and out of the village, and there are wells and springs inside the village.
Moreover, the place was a dirt hill, which was obviously much higher than the surrounding areas.
From the top of the village you can overlook the surroundings, with a street in the middle.
If the dog soldiers rush in, close the gates in and out of the village and beat the dogs.
Although the city gate is a bit dilapidated, it can still be used after a little repair.
Xiang Chu took Liu Zhengxiong and Gan Rong to inspect the mountain stronghold and climbed onto the high platform.
Liu Zhengxiong said with emotion: "Chief! You are right. There is not a single civilian in this village."
Xiang Chu said angrily: "There were some, but they all ran away when they saw us, a bunch of fake devils coming."
Liu Zhengxiong taunted, "Oh! You still know that you are a fake devil."
Xiang Chu straightened the Japanese army cap on his head and said with a smile, "Same here!"
Gan Rong said thoughtfully: "Chief! I think this village is very suitable for implementing your dog-catching plan."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Of course! Otherwise I wouldn't come to this place. Lao Liu! Take some people to make 300 meat buns right away."
Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Yes! If you use meat buns to hit a dog, there will be no return!"
After saying this, he turned and ran down the platform.
Xiang Chu continued to order: "Lao Gan! Take your men to repair the village gate, and assign people to raise and lower it. Also, block all the passages, windows, and doors on both sides of the street to prevent the dog soldiers from rushing in."
"Yes!"
Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.
Xiang Chu pointed at the flag hole on the platform and ordered: "Xiao Liu! When the time comes, you will insert the wolf-blue dog flag into this flag hole. It would be best to find a dog and tie it to the platform.
Bark a few times to lure Doihara Kenji's dog over."
Xiao Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Boss! There are few people here, where can I find a dog? Why don't I learn to bark like a dog?"
Xiang Chu frowned and asked, "Can you do it?"
Xiao Liu smiled and said, "What's wrong with fighting the devils?"
After he finished speaking, he barked twice, "Woof! Woof!"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! It is so lifelike that it is indistinguishable from the real thing."
At this time, Ma Fugui ran up with a telegram folder and reported:
"Director! Madam Ning is calling."
Xiang Chu took the telegram folder, unfolded it and read it, then ordered:
"Call the madam back and I will do my best to protect Tang Cong and the others. Also, call Hu Changsheng and ask where Doihara Xian'er is now."
"Hello!"
Ma Fugui bowed and accepted the order, then ran down the platform.
Xu Lai climbed up the stairs and said with a wry smile:
"Brother Chu! This platform is too steep."
Xiang Chu came forward and pulled her up, saying with concern: "Why are you coming up here instead of taking a good rest down there?"
Xu Lai handed him the message and said with a wry smile, "I was woken up by the radio. It was a message from Ai Hai."
Xiang Chu took the message and praised, "Not bad! Ai Hai led a battalion of elite troops through the Japanese blockade and rushed here."
Xu Lai said worriedly: "Brother Chu! This is a risky move. If his troops are targeted by the devils and follow them all the way here, it will be troublesome."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "We can only take a gamble. I hope that Doihara Ken'er's dog soldiers will arrive tonight. Xiaoliu! Put up the flag first, so that the dog soldiers can smell the scent and come."
"Hello!"
Xiaoliu bowed and accepted the order.
He took the stinking flag out of its oil-paper package.
"It stinks! Get down quickly."
Xu Lai shouted and pulled Xiang Chu down the platform.
To the north, the ancient Yellow River Road.
Because of the Huayuankou dike burst, the center of the ancient road was dry and there was not a drop of water at all.
Doihara Kan'ji, accompanied by Ninagawa Nishiemon, was digging for treasure with great interest.
There were four cars parked on the levee, and ten Japanese soldiers were sitting in the cars watching the two of them make fun of themselves.
Ninagawa Nishiemon was covered in mud from digging and smiled bitterly:
"General! Apart from corpses, what treasures are there at the bottom of the Yellow River?"
Doihara Xian'er scolded: "Fool! The Yellow River has flowed for tens of millions of years, passing through ancient cities such as Chang'an, Luoyang, and Tongguan. How could there be no treasures?"
Ninagawa Nishiemon asked suspiciously: "The Yellow River also passes through Chang'an?"
Doihara Kenji found a cloisonné porcelain bowl and said happily:
"Yoshi! This must be from the Tang Dynasty. I will make a fortune."
Ninagawa Nishiemon praised, "General! This bowl is really beautiful."
"There is also a word 'Li' on it. It could be the bowl of Li Shimin, the Heavenly Khan."
Doihara Kenji said thoughtfully, playing with his face with a smile on his face.
At this time, Gaoqiao Xiaozheng ran down from the embankment and reported loudly:
"General! I'm back."
He couldn't stop the car and knocked Doihara Ken'er to the ground.
The cloisonné bowl hit the ground and broke into two pieces.
