Lu Chengzhou and Niu Shaoshan still made an appointment to meet at the National Hotel.
Niu Shaoshan's identity was not conspicuous when he appeared at the National Hotel.
Just like last time, Lu Chengzhou arrived at the National Hotel in advance.
But today he did not arrive an hour early because Zeng Zilian and Chen Bailu, along with several operatives, had already arrived early.
Lu Chengzhou knew that when he walked in, Zeng Zilian should be in the room upstairs, observing everything around him.
When Lu Chengzhou got off the car, he still looked around as usual.
His eyes slowly glanced around, then suddenly stopped.
Lu Chengzhou quickly averted his eyes, adjusted his glasses, lowered the brim of his hat, and quickly walked into the National Hotel.
After entering the glass door of the National Hotel, Lu Chengzhou suddenly turned around and stared at the person who passed him again.
From the figure of the man and the pace of his walking, Lu Chengzhou finally determined that the man just now was Zheng Wenyou.
Why did the director of the Political Department of the Seventh Route Army come to the National Hotel?
Soon, Lu Chengzhou understood that Zheng Wenyou came to Haigu with only one purpose, to meet up with Haigu Station.
This is the fastest way to restore contact with the headquarters. Zheng Wenyou, the former military intelligence team leader of Haigu Station, naturally knows this very well.
The Seventh Route Army has withdrawn from Fengrun County, and the Seventh Route Army's last telegram was to report its retreat plan.
But in fact, the Seventh Route Army's retreat turned into a scattering.
Seeing Zheng Wenyou riding a rickshaw, Lu Chengzhou wanted to say hello to him.
But he still held back. Zheng Wenyou didn't know his identity, but Zheng Wenyou knew that he was the director of the Intelligence Office of the Military Police Detachment.
If he rashly came up to say hello, Zheng Wenyou would have thought that the military police unit was targeting him.
Assuming that Zheng Wenyou is still the military intelligence team leader at Haigu Station, Lu Chengzhou may meet him as a match.
But Zheng Wenyou was the director of the Political Department of the Seventh Route Army, and Lu Chengzhou was really unwilling to take the risk of meeting him.
Lu Chengzhou could not meet with Zheng Wenyou, but Chen Bailu could. Chen Bailu had spent some time in the Seventh Route Army before.
Chen Bailu is now the action team leader of Haigu Station. In terms of rank, he is also suitable to meet Zheng Wenyou.
This meeting with Niu Shaoshan was slightly different from before, because Lu Chengzhou was no longer fighting alone.
Two opposite rooms were also booked on the third floor, one for meeting Niu Shaoshan and the other as an observation room.
Taking the elevator to the third floor, when he stepped out of the elevator, Lu Chengzhou saw the safety code left by Zeng Zilian: There was a pot of flowers in the right corner.
"Did you notice a man in a gray coat just now? He had just left when I walked in." After Lu Chengzhou entered the room, he said to Zeng Zilian, who had been waiting in the room for a long time.
Although this was also a meeting with a traitor, Niu Shaoshan also revealed that he wanted to do something for Chongqing.
As long as Niu Shaoshan does not take practical actions, his so-called work for Chongqing will be empty talk.
The last time he met with Shen Zhuguang, Lu Chengzhou attended the meeting alone.
Today, he was even more cautious. Not only were Zeng Zilian and Ma Yuzhen here, but Chen Bailu from the action team was also here.
"What's wrong?" Zeng Zilian said in surprise.
She tried hard to recall that when Lu Chengzhou went out, there was indeed a middle-aged man in a gray coat walking out of the National Hotel.
However, Zeng Zilian didn't pay attention. Her mind was always on Lu Chengzhou.
"That person should be Zheng Wenyou." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
"What?" Zeng Zilian was so surprised that the pencil in her hand fell to the ground.
Zeng Zilian and Zheng Wenyou had not had much contact.
When Zeng Zilian was transferred to Haigu to serve as the intelligence team leader, Zheng Wenyou had already been transferred to the Jidong area to form the Seventh Route Army.
"Go and find out which room Zheng Wenyou lives in." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
He estimated that Zheng Wenyou was staying at the National Hotel, and when he went out just now, he probably wanted to contact Haigu Station through some old connections.
"Do you want to meet him?" Zeng Zilian asked, in terms of military rank, how much higher is Zheng Wenyou than Lu Chengzhou?
Zheng Wenyou, as the director of the Political Department of the Seventh Route Army, held the rank of major general, while Lu Chengzhou was only a lieutenant colonel.
"I won't meet him anymore. Let Chen Bailu contact him." Lu Chengzhou thought for a while and said.
"Okay. Well, is this Niu Shaoshan?" Zeng Zilian kept staring outside intentionally or unintentionally. When she saw a car driving into the National Hotel, she suddenly said.
"Let me take a look." Lu Chengzhou opened a corner of the curtain, picked up the telescope on the window sill, and carefully observed the situation below.
"The car belongs to him. Pay attention to the surroundings." Lu Chengzhou quickly found the car, and the license plate belonged to Niu Shaoshan.
The person who stepped out of the car was also Niu Shaoshan himself.
However, it is unknown whether there are any Japanese spies around.
"No abnormalities have been found so far." Zeng Zilian turned her gaze to the opposite side.
She arranged Ma Yuzhen on the opposite side, and Chen Bailu's action team was responsible for the surrounding area.
If the Japanese take action, the military commander will also have the strength to fight back.
Lu Chengzhou is the pillar of Haigu Station. His safety is related to the safety of everyone.
"I'll go over first and leave this to you." Lu Chengzhou put down the telescope. He had to rush to the opposite room before Niu Shaoshan.
When Niu Shaoshan walked into the National Hotel, Zeng Zilian was very nervous and paid special attention to the surrounding situation.
If Niu Shaoshan was digging a hole for the military commander, there should be movement around him at this time.
However, until Niu Shaoshan walked into the National Hotel, she didn't see anything unusual.
Niu Shaoshan really came alone this time. He often comes to the National Hotel. After arriving on the third floor, he went straight to the appointed time.
Niu Shaoshan is in his fifties, slightly fat, well-maintained and looks very young.
He was of medium height, walked steadily, and did not appear nervous because he was about to meet with military commanders.
After knocking on the door calmly, a man with a sallow complexion soon opened the door. When he saw Fang, he nodded and motioned for him to come in.
The curtains in the room were drawn up, and the lights were not turned on. The light was not very good, so he could only vaguely see the other person's face.
"My dear Niu Shaoshan, I wonder who you are...?" Niu Shaoshan knew that this was a military commander pretending to be mysterious.
"Place a match, Commander of Military Command Haigu." Lu Chengzhou said calmly.
"I have admired Mr. Huo's reputation for a long time, and now that I have seen him, he is truly well-deserved." Niu Shaoshan said politely with a false smile on his face, clasping his hands into fists.
A clasped fist salute has greater advantages than a handshake.
No matter what the opponent's attitude is, you can salute as long as you hold your fist.
But if you shake hands and the other person doesn't extend his hand, wouldn't it look awkward?
"Please take a seat." Lu Chengzhou pointed to the chair and said, Niu Shaoshan is currently the counselor of the Municipal Office and is considered a dispensable figure.
The reason for accepting him was more of a political consideration.
