It was late at night, and the cold wind outside was blowing against the earth, like scraping someone's bones with a knife, making people shiver all over.
The wind was howling, and in the quiet cave dwelling, Xiaoyu knocked on Minister Li's door urgently.
After rubbing his sleepy eyes and washing his face with cold water, he regained consciousness, then walked over and said seriously:
"Xiaoyu, what do you want from me? It seems it's not dawn yet, right?"
"Minister, something happened. Something happened with Sister Yuxiang. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. Someone broke into the young master's room and was caught."
"Caught!"
Minister Li suddenly had an idea. He had only slept for less than two hours. How could something happen to Zhang Tianhao? Logically speaking, his identity should not be exposed, but...
His face instantly darkened. After all, when encountering something like this, all his sleepiness disappeared at once.
But when Minister Li led a team of guards to Zhang Tianhao's residence, he saw Zhang Tianhao sitting in the room, slowly drinking tea, and the room was filled with the fragrance of tea.
And there was an extra cup on the table, obviously waiting for his arrival.
"Haha, Lao Li, I'm really sorry for disturbing your sleep, but there's nothing I can do about it."
When Zhang Tianhao saw Minister Li rushing over in a hurry, he couldn't help but laugh. He said hello directly and pointed to another stool next to the table.
"Old Li, come here, there is tea here. I have prepared it for you. If you don't come, it will be cold. The best Longjing, West Lake Longjing!"
"You kid, would you be so kind as to treat me to the best Longjing drink!"
Upon hearing this, Minister Li replied with a smile, then turned to look at the two people who were tied up and sleeping on the ground. With a wave of his hand, he had the two people dragged out for interrogation.
"I'm really sorry for making you laugh."
"Lao Li, I don't have anything here. Although I don't know who these people are, they are somewhat capable of breaking in, don't you think?"
"That's right. I will check carefully later to find out who these two people are."
"It's up to you, I have nothing to lose anyway."
He didn't take it to heart. After all, the Japanese hated him to the core. If his whereabouts were exposed, the Japanese would definitely retaliate against him crazily.
It can be said that if his identity is exposed, he will be a time bomb, so he has no intention of staying here longer. It is better to go back to Shanghai.
As for Xu Zeng'en asking him to come here, walk around naturally, and then disappear directly, this would be good for everyone, and he could even go back to Shanghai directly on the pretext of being targeted by the Japanese.
"By the way, Tianhao, what will you do next?"
"In the past two days, I plan to return to Shanghai. The Japanese can basically calculate that when I am here, when I arrive in Yan'an, as long as I am here, the Japanese and those who want to kill me will definitely act crazy.
I'd better leave."
"Leave, I plan to let you rest here for a while longer, but it seems there is no chance."
When Minister Li heard this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"After all, your head is really valuable. I heard that as soon as you arrived in Chongqing, someone noticed you and sent someone to follow you and then kill you?"
"Yes, now I am a disaster star, it is better to leave as soon as possible."
He was also a little lonely. After all, he came to Yan'an and wanted to stay with his wife for two more days, but before he could stay one night, he encountered this situation.
If someone finds out that Qin Yuxiang is his wife, I don't know how many people will take revenge on him, and even Chongqing will not let him go.
Of course, his current wife in name is Du Xinran, and the others are incidental.
"By the way, Xiao Qin's identity is still confidential. Our radio operator has not had much contact with the outside world. No one will know her identity. After a while, I will also transfer her location."
"Thanks!"
Zhang Tianhao knew that this was Minister Li's love for him. How could he refuse Minister Li's kindness?
"I also have a pack of cigarettes here for you, and tea for you too. I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring anything good."
Zhang Tianhao took out a cigarette from his bag and placed the tea he just started on the table.
"You, you, you still want to give me something at this time, then I will really accept it!"
"Okay, Lao Li, are you and I still polite?"
Zhang Tianhao still smiled and continued: "It's better to call me Lao Li. I always feel that there is something strange about Minister Li."
When Minister Li heard this, he rolled his eyes.
"By the way, I really didn't treat you well this time!"
"Next time I want beef, at least ten pounds of beef, otherwise I will just stay at your house and see if you give me something to eat."
Zhang Tianhao smiled and then changed the topic. After all, they didn't have much time, so naturally they still had something to say.
"Yuxiang, why don't you go sit with Xiaoyu? Minister Li and I have something to talk about, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yuxiang looked at Minister Li again and nodded.
Seeing Qin Yuxiang leave, and only the two of them were left in the room, Minister Li slowly asked.
"Tianhao, there is news from Xi'an as well. Is it you who did it?"
"Yes, they just asked me to check on the theft of the city defense plan, but I didn't expect that someone wanted to plot against me and escaped over there overnight!"
"Does the other side know about your situation?"
"I don't know, but what I am sure of is that someone is plotting against me. As for who it is, I haven't found out who it is! But this matter will not be over. After I find out, I will definitely settle a good account with him.
"
"Any suspects?"
"No, but there are only a few people who come into contact with me. I don't believe that they won't reveal their flaws." He said while the sternness flashed across his face.
"Okay, I will also help you investigate this matter slowly, but don't affect the overall situation now, you have to take the overall situation into consideration, you know, after all, our main enemy now is the Japanese."
"Lao Li, don't worry, I know this, so I plan to return to Shanghai first, leaving two or three people to investigate slowly. This account will be settled later."
"That's okay, as long as you know it."
Minister Li was also a little worried, but he was relieved when he heard that Zhang Tianhao was not messing around.
"Old Li, let me tell you about the situation in Shanghai. The situation everywhere is not very good, so I can only tell you about it. As for the rest, I won't tell you more."
"That's okay!"
Then the two of them started chatting while drinking tea, and time gradually passed without realizing it.
An hour later, Minister Li's guards were seen walking in, and they whispered a few words into Minister Li's ear.
Minister Li then raised his hand to look at the time and smiled.
"Tianhao, I have something to do over there, so I won't stay here any longer. I'll have someone make arrangements for you in a while. I'll make you two kilograms of beef as an extra meal for you and your wife. What do you think?"
"Thank you. Actually, no need. I know life here is not easy. Just eat normally. After all, there are no greeting gifts this time. Next time I come with heavy gifts, I won't be polite to you and have a big meal. Then
is required."
"You kid, if you have any other requests, tell me. If I can help, I will definitely help. Otherwise, you may be careful and keep calling me Lao Kou in your heart."
"Really? I need wild rice that is over a hundred years old. If you have it, help me collect some. As for the money, I will settle the payment to you when the time comes. What do you think?"
"Centennial ginseng, that's a life-saving thing. Why, do you want this?"
"Replenish the body, my body is still somewhat deficient!"
He also gave a wry smile, then took out a small bottle of tonic from his pocket and handed it over.
"Drink it and you will know the effect of this thing."
"Oh, it tastes so good!"
"It's true, but it's not poison. How can I still harm you?"
Zhang Tianhao rolled his eyes directly.
Lao Li didn't even doubt that Zhang Tianhao would harm him, so he directly uncorked the bottle and drank it in one gulp.
"It's just Chinese medicine. The medicinal flavor is quite strong. But the taste is also good."
"Okay, you go out and run a couple of laps, otherwise your body may suffer a little."
As soon as Zhang Tianhao finished speaking, Lao Li felt a burst of warmth coming from his abdomen, making his body feel like it had been filled with rain for a long time, and it began to revive.
"Good medicine, it seems I don't have to run out anymore."
"Then your body will suffer even more losses!"
Seeing that Lao Li's face only became rosier but not much changed, Zhang Tianhao immediately knew that Lao Li's physical deficit was much more exaggerated than he imagined.
"Is there any more? It's quite delicious."
"No, this thing can save lives. One bottle requires a century-old ginseng, and various other precious medicinal materials are added to finally extract this little amount."
"Forget it."
