An hour later, Geng Chaozhong walked back to the small courtyard from outside. He saw Er Sheng standing in the courtyard, picking off the petals of a plum blossom on the ground one by one. She was very attentive, even if it was Geng Chaozhong.
When I walked into the yard, I didn't even look up.
Geng Chaozhong didn't say anything, and quietly watched her pluck the plum blossoms piece by piece, throw the branches to the ground, and then said:
"It fell into pieces and turned into mud and ground into dust, but only the fragrance remains the same."
"I'm not appreciating plum blossoms," Er Sheng raised her head and smiled sweetly, "I'm just counting odd and even numbers."
"Odd or even number?" Geng Chaozhong was stunned.
"Yes, odd and even numbers. I want to see how many petals there are on this plum blossom. Is it an odd number or an even number?" Er Sheng said with a smile.
Geng Chaozhong couldn't laugh or cry, and was speechless.
"Let's go! Come sit with me."
Er Sheng jumped up, took Geng Chaozhong's arm, and led him into the house.
"Did that Mr. Li just tell you something?"
As soon as he entered the house, Geng Chaozhong couldn't wait to ask.
"I said it." Er Sheng stared at Geng Chaozhong, the emotion in his eyes seemed to melt an iron man.
"Have you told him it's not necessary?" Geng Chaozhong asked.
"I told you." Er Sheng replied.
"That's good." Geng Chaozhong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"He also said that he is a member of the Red Party." Er Sheng suddenly said again.
"He is a member of the Red Party?!" Geng Chaozhong was stunned and almost jumped up.
Er Sheng couldn't help but shook his head, looked at Geng Chaozhong and said helplessly: "Mr. Zhou, you used to pretend to be anything, but now you pretend to be nothing."
"It doesn't look like anything." Geng Chaozhong pretended to be stupid.
"You already knew he was a member of the Red Party, right?" Er Sheng said helplessly.
"I don't know. If I knew he was a member of the Red Party, I would have arrested him just now." Geng Chaozhong denied it.
"Okay," Er Sheng nodded, "I'll take what you said as irony. After all, once it comes to your work, what you say has almost no credibility."
Geng Chaozhong could only smile bitterly.
But after thinking about it, Er Sheng seems to be right. He rarely tells the truth. If he wants to say it, he will only tell the truth with reservations. It may even be a lie wrapped in a layer of truth, or a layer of lies.
Wrapped in truth, in short, these words cannot be regarded as truth in any way.
Er Sheng looked at Geng Chaozhong with interest. After a long time, he blinked and said:
"Forget it, I won't tell you this. You can accompany me for a nice walk these days. Let's go to Peking and play around. In fact, although I grew up in Peking, there are many places I have never been to.
, I want you to accompany me more these days and visit all the places I have never been to."
"Okay!" Geng Chaozhong agreed happily.
Er Sheng has hardly left the house these days. Although she doesn't say anything and even begins to smile on her face, Geng Chaozhong knows that the pain in her heart and the longing for her parents have not diminished.
It would actually be a good thing if I could walk around with her and relax.
"By the way, although I didn't agree to that Mr. Li, what he said seems to make sense. Do you think my staying in Peiping will affect your work?" Er Sheng asked, tilting her head.
"No, my current job is semi-public. I told you that without a wife, there will be a lot of inconveniences. For example, if someone comes to come as a matchmaker or some social butterflies get involved, it will actually be very troublesome. This is also a Virgo
One of the reasons why you want me to find a wife." Geng Chaozhong said.
"That means that not only am I not broken, but I am also useful?" Er Sheng asked.
"Of course, how could I lie to you?" Geng Chaozhong said solemnly.
"But, I am the daughter of the Red Party. What if this incident affects your future in the Secret Service?" Er Sheng asked again.
"Why do you have so many problems?" Geng Chaozhong glanced at Er Sheng angrily, "I've told you, Virgo doesn't care at all what wife his subordinate marries. In his eyes, this is just a casual marriage.
, it can’t be taken seriously!”
"Okay," Er Sheng seemed to agree reluctantly, "Then, shall we go to Yuquan Mountain now?"
"Now?" Geng Chaozhong glanced out the window.
"Yes, it's just noon and it's still warm outside. Wouldn't it be nice if we went out to have a meal and then go sightseeing?" Er Sheng said in a persuasive manner.
"Okay, now!" Geng Chaozhong chuckled and picked up his coat.
...........
At the same time, there was an ordinary courtyard house in Longyan Hutong, Beiping.
There were a few coolies dressed as porters working in the yard, but only a knowledgeable person could see that these coolies were in a position where they could fully grasp the situation around the yard.
In the main room in the middle of the courtyard, the short and fat Li Qingshan leaned forward and was talking to a young man sitting next to him.
"Jianqiu, I came to you this time because I have new work arrangements for you."
"You said, I completely obey the organization's arrangements." Wang Jianqiu's expression was sincere.
Li Qingshan looked at the young man standing in front of him, and he was actually quite satisfied - although some people said that he had some problems, after all, he was the insider who had inserted himself into Huangpu through the Student Union system, and he was already a member of the Peking Station of the Secret Service.
Almost number two.
However, he is still too young. If he is rashly appointed as the main person in charge, I am afraid that he is not qualified yet. After a few years of transition and training, he will be of great use in the future.
After thinking for a while, Li Qingshan finally made a decision and said:
"Jianqiu, the Peking Special Committee now has a new person in charge, codenamed 'Koi'. From now on, he will also be your superior and direct contact person. You must consult him for all your work in the future."
"good."
Wang Jianqiu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly agreed, but the disappointment in his eyes flashed away.
Li Qingshan did not notice the hidden thoughts in Wang Jianqiu's eyes. He paused and continued:
"This Comrade Koi is very experienced at work and has made certain achievements. However, he has a special status and cannot appear in public for the time being. Therefore, when he contacts you, he may have reservations, or in other words, he does not
I will see you with my true face, I will say this in advance, I hope you can understand."
"No problem." Wang Jianqiu agreed readily. The situation of secret work was very complicated, and he would not care about it.
Li Qingshan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Also, Lao Zhao died, and the work in Peking was affected to a certain extent. Fortunately, the Japanese wanted to kill chickens to scare monkeys, and they did not kill us all. Therefore, we should be patient for the time being, and it is not appropriate to be in peace.
The Japanese had too many conflicts.”
"Aren't you going to avenge Lao Zhao?" Wang Jianqiu looked a little angry.
Although he didn’t have much contact with Zhao Kezhen, in the past six months, he had worked on the same front of life and death. Wang Jianqiu was not a tree, so how could he be ruthless?
"We are not a brotherhood of Jianghu, and we do not engage in grudges or grudges." Li Qingshan glanced at Wang Jianqiu complainingly, "All work must be subordinate to the overall situation. Think about it, we are fighting fiercely with the Kuomintang in the south, and Peking is fighting with the Japanese.
Get up, do we have that much power?"
"Okay, I understand." Wang Jianqiu took a breath.
The overall situation, everything is for the overall situation. For the sake of the overall situation, we can only endure it - when we are not strong enough, we will knock out our front teeth and swallow blood. What else can we do?
"Don't complain. I have been friends with Lao Zhao for more than 20 years. In terms of revenge, I actually want revenge more than you do." Li Qingshan saw Wang Jianqiu's thoughts, "But we still have to pay attention to strategy. For this mission,
I have handed it over to 'Litchi', and I will try to complete the retaliatory action without letting the Japanese notice it."
"Okay, since someone is performing this task, I have nothing to say. Now, I am still mainly engaged in material transportation?" Wang Jianqiu said.
"Yes, material transportation." Li Qingshan nodded.
"But, Lao Li, the situation in the Soviet area seems..." Wang Jianqiu said carefully.
"There are difficulties now. The base area is shrinking, but everything is temporary. 'A single spark can start a prairie fire.' Haven't you seen it? Don't be discouraged. Victory will belong to us and to the people." Li Qingshan said.
Wang Jianqiu was a little disappointed. He originally thought that Li Qingshan would reveal some specific conditions in the Soviet area to him, but it seemed that Li Qingshan had not thought about this at all.
"Okay, that's it for today. When the time is right, Comrade 'Koi' will contact you. The specific contact method is still the same as the method I used to contact you. That's it. It's getting late. I have to leave. Tianjin
There are still a lot of things to be busy with over there." Li Qingshan stood up.
"Okay, be careful." Wang Jianqiu stood up quickly.
After Li Qingshan walked out, Wang Jianqiu no longer wanted to hide his emotions. He slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table with a "bang".
Zhao Kezhen died. Logically, he was the second-ranking figure in our party in Peking, but he didn't expect that his superiors would send another immediate boss here. Could it be that there is someone who is more familiar with the situation in Peking than him?
What's more, those brothers outside have been with me for so long. How can the newcomers be so virtuous and able to convince others?
Wang Jianqiu couldn't understand what they were thinking. Some time ago, Li Qingshan ran from Tianjin to Shanghai and beat himself up inexplicably to make himself pay attention to some mistakes in life. Who knows where they heard the news? Could it be Zhao Kezhen?
?
It's a pity that Zhao Kezhen is already dead. Of course, he can't argue with a dead person.
What's more, maybe Lao Zhao really does it for his own good...
He thought of Lao Zhao, and then he thought of Sixth Brother - these two people are actually very similar. Sometimes they are easy to talk to, and sometimes they are very strict. Speaking of severe, Wang Jianqiu lowered his head and looked at his left hand.
There, a piece of the little finger is missing forever.
But he doesn't hate Brother Six, he really doesn't. He knows that Brother Six is doing it for his own good. What's more, he just messed up Brother Six's wedding. Brother Six didn't say anything and even made up for his shortcomings.
He gave a sum of money so that he and Yunxiang could prepare for their wedding when they returned to Nanjing - these things were much more practical than Li Qingshan's empty promises!
Thinking of this, Wang Jianqiu sighed again.
To the brothers, Sixth Brother is really interesting, and it’s all his own fault for not living up to expectations!
After sighing for a while, Wang Jianqiu touched the Buddhist beads hidden in his arms, then opened his eyes and looked outside.
Outside, they are all brothers from the Red Party. These brothers are actually good and have a decent style. They are much better than those from the Secret Service. However, why do I feel that I am still dealing with those brothers from the Secret Service?
How comfortable?
hehe.
With an unknown laugh, Wang Jianqiu finally stood up. He had to complete the mission. Tonight, there was a batch of important supplies shipped to the south, and he needed to clear customs and pass the checkpoints. All of this required his own face...
