As the deputy director of the Tianji Academy, Tan Cong has been responsible for the liaison between the Tianji Academy in various states. His whereabouts have attracted much attention. Now that he was captured, the news spread quickly. With the help of interested people, it turned out that
It soon caused quite a bit of chaos.
However, this did not last long. With Jiang Gong's intervention and his personal reputation, the situation quickly stabilized again.
Soon after, as Tan Cong's confession was submitted to the two governments, coupled with the testimonies of several master craftsmen of Kaiyang Manufacturing Institute, Tan Cong's guilt was confirmed, and Tianji Institutes in various places gradually became calm on the surface, but
The waves caused by this will not stop immediately.
In the Overseas Tianji Academy, the old man on crutches suddenly became uneasy after receiving the news that Tan Cong had been arrested. He immediately called for Master Jin, informed the latter of the news, and asked: "Tan Cong knows
Is this where we are stationed?”
Dajiang Jin thought about it, hesitated, and said: "We have never told him about this place, but he has been exposed to too many things. I can't guarantee that he will get some information from other channels."
The old man on a crutch frowned and said, "Does that mean our place is no longer safe enough?"
Master Jin said: "I'm afraid that's the case, but we can move away from the Zhiyuan."
The old man on crutches said in a deep voice: "If we move out at this time, won't our plans be affected?"
Dajiang Jin replied: "Although it will be affected, it is better than being exposed. To be on the safe side, we still have to move out of here as soon as possible."
The old man on a crutch shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. If we find another place, all the workshops will have to be rebuilt, and the materials will need to be redeployed. How can we do it in a hurry?"
Master Jin said: "It's not necessary to move everything away. Just move the necessary materials and tools."
The old man on a crutch denied: "Even so, the movement is still too loud. If someone comes looking for it, they will easily be found. What's the point of that?"
He paused, "And even if it's a different place, it will still be the station left by Tianjiyuan earlier. Can you ensure that Tan never knows about it?"
Master Jin hesitated for a moment, he really couldn't guarantee it.
He is only responsible for research and development, and is not engaged in production or operation. Over the years, almost all the materials for the construction of external stations have been allocated from the General Institute, and most of them were arranged by Tan Cong. It is difficult to say that this person is completely
Unaware.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Ziyuan, the best way is to get rid of Tan Cong! He knows too much. Even if he doesn't speak now, it's hard to guarantee that he won't speak in the future!"
The old man on the crutch snorted and said, "Don't you think I don't want to? But he is under the heavy supervision of the Xuanfu monks. He may be under the eyes of Zhang Yu. We don't have the ability to do this."
He was silent for a while and said slowly: "The only way I can think of now is to start the plan in advance."
Master Jin was startled and said: "But in the Manufacturing Institute, we are not completely ready yet. Even if the complex has been built, it has not been tested yet, so we are still not sure whether it can meet our expectations..."
The old man on crutches said in a deep voice: "Of course I know this, so I said it was another plan."
Master Jin immediately reacted and felt relieved, but immediately became worried again and said: "But... are they willing? After all, this plan also cost them a lot of effort."
The old man on a crutch said: "Since it has now been proven that the path we are taking is the right path, then it is time for them to give up. What is the point of persisting?
And this plan is what Tan Cong is most concerned about. He doesn't know exactly where we are. I will persuade them to take the initiative to take responsibility. I believe that once that matter is exposed, Zhang Xuanzheng will have no time to care about us.
This way we can delay it for a while longer.
Don’t worry, if they don’t want to listen, I will go to the hospital owner and explain the matter.”
Jin Dajiang thought for a moment that this was all he could do, and nodded.
The old man on a crutch stood up and said: "I don't know how long Tan can hold on. I will set off immediately. Lao Jin, I will leave the matter here to you. If...I mean if, once Xuanfu comes over,
, I think you should know what to do, right?"
Dajiang Jin looked at the eyes staring at him and said bravely: "I know."
The old man on a crutch looked at him for a few times, then left the workshop and left the island in a sea boat. Then he transferred to a flying boat on a sea berth thousands of miles away and headed to the island.
Three days later, he came to a sea cliff with a straight section, which was a hidden berth located on the boundary of Guizhou.
He got off the flying boat here and used the underground track here to enter Guizhou Tianjiyuan in one day. He then took another track here and went to Guangzhou General Hospital.
Gwangju General Hospital is located in Wonwu County, Qingyangzhou Province. The ground buildings cover a vast area. Because there are many secrets hidden in Tianjiyuan, and Qingyangzhou Prefecture frequently encountered foreign enemies in the early days, the exterior buildings are all in the style of solid military fortresses.
Nothing has changed yet.
Most of the workshops are buried deep underground. If you dissect them, they will look like a huge and regular honeycomb.
In order to facilitate travel and exchange of skills, in addition to Kaiyang Academy, Tianjiyuan in various states and counties have underground roads leading to the main hospital.
The old man on crutches rode on the chariot all night, and walked out of the station at dawn. When he got here, he put on the lapis lazuli seal that represented the identity of the master craftsman, and walked out of the chariot.
come out.
When the armored soldiers on both sides saw the jade seal he was wearing, they all gave a military salute. The students and craftsmen who came and went here also showed awe in their eyes and took the initiative to avoid him and salute him.
The old man on a crutch looked around. He had been hiding in Tibet over the years, fearing that his whereabouts would be revealed and his plan would fail. Only when he arrived at Tianjiyuan could he truly feel that he was still a respected master.
He walked along the cabin, and after a hundred steps he sat on a Hanjiang insect. Half a moment later, he stopped in the square in front of the main hall.
He reported his identity to the soldiers who came up to him, and made a request to meet the master of the hospital. He was then taken to a side hall of the garden outside to wait.
About half summer time later, a master craftsman came over and said respectfully: "Wu Zhiyuan, please follow me. The main hospital will have a summer time to see you."
The old man on crutches stood up, nodded and said, "I'm sorry to bother you."
He followed this person into the main hall, stepped on the flying jade saucer, and soon came to a glazed hall. The master craftsman nodded to him, and the metal door like a tooth buckle opened in all directions.
The old man on a crutch straightened his clothes and walked in. Once inside, he saw Fang Yuzhong, the master of Qingyang Tianji Academy.
This is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties, with frosty white temples, a smile on his lips, and a good demeanor. He is wearing a black robe with silver buttons and dense patterns, and has a layer of skin on his hands.
Gloves of similar color.
Next to him were two cute little girls about three or four years old, dragging a toy turtle by their feet, playing guessing games at a small table. He recognized that these were Fang Yuzhong's two granddaughters.
.
The old man on a crutch glanced at him, raised his hand and saluted, and said respectfully: "Headquarters."
Fang Yuzhong looked at him and said, "It's Wu Zhiyuan who's here."
One of the little girls was shocked when he heard what he said. She blinked her eyes and asked innocently: "Grandpa, his surname is also Wu." She pulled the toy turtle and said in a sweet voice: "He is a relative of Xiao Wu.
?"
The old man on a crutch twitched slightly at the corner of his eye.
Fang Yuzhong smiled gently and said: "Stop talking nonsense, come and apologize to Grandpa Wu."
The little girl said oh, stood up and bowed to Wu Zhiyuan with a decent Wanfu salute, and said: "Grandpa Wu, I'm sorry."
The old man on a crutch chuckled and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
Fang Yuzhong warned: "You know Grandpa Wu, don't forget to call someone next time." The two little girls said in unison: "We are both good children, and we all listen to Grandpa."
Fang Yuzhong stretched out his hand and patted the two little girls' heads gently, "Grandpa, you have something to do. You go out to play."
The two little girls bowed to him and Wu Zhiyuan before being led out by a female servant.
Fang Yuzhong looked at the old man on crutches, smiled apologetically, and said, "Wuzhiyuan, I just apologized."
Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, kid, well, I think that turtle is quite unique, but why not make two more realistic..."
Fang Yuzhong smiled and said: "Things for children should not be too real, just like some things should not be too real. Wu Zhiyuan, do you think this is the truth?"
Wu Zhiyuan looked at his smiling eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. At the same time, he felt that he seemed to be referring to something, but he couldn't figure it out for the moment, so he could only vaguely say: "Yes, yes."
Fang Yuzhong looked at him with a smile for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said, "Wuzhiyuan, please sit down and talk."
Wu Zhiyuan sat down carefully. For some reason, he always felt an inexplicable pressure every time he faced the chief. It felt like he couldn't hide his thoughts and ideas in front of this person.
At this time, Fang Yuzhong came to the glazed wall with a steaming cup of tea. He looked at the two little girls who ran outside to the flower garden and said, "Children are always full of vitality and vigor, and anything new is
Just like a child, it needs careful care and attention in order to thrive."
Wu Zhiyuan could only agree, and at the same time his mind was spinning rapidly. He saw that Fang Yuzhong had been standing there looking outside without speaking. He hesitated for a moment and said: "General Hospital, I came here this time because I have something to find out.
Main hospital.”
Fang Yuzhong turned around, sat down on the main seat, and said with a smile: "There must be something going on when Wu Zhiyuan comes, just tell me."
Wu Zhiyuan said cautiously: "General Hospital, Tan Cong has been arrested recently. I don't know that you from the General Hospital..."
If Fang Yuzhong looked at him meaningfully, Wu Zhiyuan avoided his gaze unconsciously. He smiled and said: "Many people have come to tell me about this recently. Everyone has their own opinions."
Thoughts, then Wuzhiyuan, what are your thoughts?"
