In this season, standing on the side of the ship, looking at the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Xiangjiang River, the rows of houses, and the fields in the south of the Yangtze River that later emerged, and letting the river breeze blow on my cheeks, is really a very pleasant experience.
At this time, Jiang Yufeng turned around and said as if casually: "Ancheng, why did you ask me to beware of Yoshino? For more than a year, he has been very good to me, and even carried me to the hospital, and I saved my life."
!”
Xiao Ancheng looked at her, couldn't help but smile, and said: "Xiao Jiang, think about it this way, he is a Japanese agent who wants to escape with the woman he likes, and he hopes that I will allow you to go with him. You say
What should he do?"
"What should he do?" Jiang Yufeng stared at him and asked.
"He should tell me everything he knows to please me, instead of just trying to prevaricate me with some outdated information! You can feel his mentality at this time."
"He's playing a trick!"
"Yes! It's a pity that I didn't guess what his purpose was!"
"Not to elope with me?"
"No! Definitely not!"
Jiang Yufeng looked at the river bank and then looked down at the river. She couldn't help but shake her head and said, "You are so smart!"
"Xiao Jiang, you are smarter!"
"How am I smart?"
"You were a little undecided, but you asked me to test him. Is that what you meant?"
Jiang Yufeng shook her head vigorously, "You are talking nonsense!"
Xiao Ancheng looked at her and laughed loudly, very happily.

At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the small passenger ship Xiao Ancheng and Jiang Yufeng took arrived in Yueyang.
They entered the waiting room and looked at the passenger ship schedule on the wall, looking for a ship that suited them. After Yueyang, they were in the Japanese-occupied area. They wanted to take a boat to Tai County, which was really hard to say. Maybe the Japanese army would still come
Get on board and search!
Therefore, they need to consider which ship is most suitable.
Unexpectedly, a man came up behind them and said respectfully: "I'm sorry, sir, I'm sorry."
Xiao Ancheng suddenly turned around. There was a dark-faced man standing behind him, but he had such a humble smile on his face. The way he looked at Xiao Ancheng seemed to be really sorry.
He quickly glanced around. Not far away, there were two thick black men standing by the wall. They were also looking at him with a very apologetic look. This was what surprised him!
The man standing in front of him said again: "Sir, I'm sorry, let me ask you, are you... are you Mr. Xiao?"
Xiao Ancheng was really surprised! In a place like this, someone actually recognized his surname Xiao, which was simply weird!
He answered succinctly: "Yes! Who are you!"
The man suddenly opened his hands, with such an ecstatic smile on his face, and waved to the people by the wall. Those people also had ecstatic smiles on their faces and ran towards this side.
Seeing the confused look on Xiao Ancheng's face, the sturdy man hurriedly said: "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, we are from the Pengchuan Gang. Sir, the eldest daughter of the Chi family in Wuhan, the Hongmen people want to destroy us! Have you remembered?
?”
As soon as the man mentioned the Canopy Boat Gang, Xiao Ancheng remembered it and asked hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I remembered it. So, what are you doing here?"
The man was still grinning widely and said: "We were passing outside and saw you and this lady coming in. I asked if that person was Mr. Xiao. The brothers said that he looked a bit like,
Don't admit your mistake. I said, let me ask you a question. It doesn't matter if I ask you wrongly! Sir, do you think so? Sir, where are you going?"
Xiao Ancheng didn't need to hide anything from the people in the Pengchuan Gang. He said directly: "We are going to Yangzhou. Where are you going? Are you waiting to take the boat?"
The man opposite laughed loudly, "We have a boat! We are passing here today! Mr. Xiao, you don't have to wait for a boat, just take our boat! As long as it is on the Yangtze River, wherever you want to go, we will take you there
where!"
Another man also said: "Mr. Xiao, you must not be polite, let's go, let's go, we will see you two off!"
As the man spoke, he reached out to take the suitcase from Xiao Ancheng's hand, and extended his hand to the outside of the waiting room with a warm smile on his face.
Half an hour later, Xiao Ancheng and Jiang Yufeng were sent to a cargo ship.
When he looked at the side of the ship, it turned out to be the "Maoyuan" again! He thought, I really have a fate with the people from the Pengchuan Gang!

Shanghai, Inoue Mansion.
At almost eleven o'clock that night, Captain Takahashi received a telegram from Yoshino.
He frowned after reading the telegram, and then thought about it carefully. A strange smile appeared on his face. When he saw Mr. Sato looking at him, he handed the telegram to him and said, "Please take a look at it. I wonder if you
What do you think?"
When Mr. Sato read the telegram, there were only two short sentences. The first sentence was: "Xiao does not agree with Jiang's elopement!"
After reading this sentence, he thought for a moment and understood the meaning. If Jiang Yufeng elopes and disappears without a trace, Xiao Ancheng will definitely be involved! He will not even end well! But to be honest, Xiao Ancheng's kind
Maybe he has already seen that Jiang Yufeng will never leave him! So, he will naturally not agree to Jiang Yufeng leaving!
He smiled at Takahashi and said, "The elopement may not be hidden from Xiao Ancheng!"
Takahashi nodded, "That's what I guessed too. It's just a try, and it doesn't cost anything."
Mr. Sato continued to read the telegram. The second sentence was: "Xiao and Jiang took a boat to Yueyang this morning and were picked up by an unknown number of people. Their current whereabouts are unknown. We hope to observe along the Yangtze River."
Mr. Sato looked at Takahashi in confusion, "Why is this Xiao Ancheng going to Yueyang?"
Takahashi shook his head and said, "We don't know yet. We can only ask people along the route to observe."
At this time, Kawakami stretched his head forward, looked at Mr. Sato and said: "Teacher, I have a feeling that Xiao Ancheng may be going to Tai County! Chen Zifeng and those people are in Tai County! Xiao Ancheng should be going to Tai County!"
Mr. Sato gave him a sharp look, then looked back at Takahashi.
Takahashi also heard what Kawakami said, and when he saw Mr. Sato's eyes clearly, he said, "What do you think?"
Mr. Sato shook his head, "It's hard to say now, we can only wait and see! No matter what, as long as there is a chance, I really don't want to let them go!"
Takahashi gritted his teeth and said, "I think so too! I hope we have this opportunity!"
14-19
One of the outstanding characteristics of taking a boat down the Yangtze River is boredom.
The scenery along the Yangtze River is all in the upper reaches. Xiao Ancheng clearly remembers that the scenery along the way from the Three Gorges to Chongqing is simply too beautiful to describe. Some people say that the scenery in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is breathtaking! It really goes to the extreme!
But there is no scenery to speak of in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Apart from these three, there are dilapidated cities, dilapidated villages, and desolate farmland.
However, it was much more interesting to lean against the side of the ship and be accompanied by a sturdy man who recognized him as Xiao Ancheng.
The stout man talked about the Yangtze River and water transportation along the way. The most important thing he talked about was the Chi family.
He sighed and said: "Wuhu is the foundation of the Chi family. They broke out from Wuhu, and now they have returned to Wuhu. There is nothing they can do about it!" He finally added: "Wuhu was occupied by the Japanese army. Hi!
"Then I couldn't speak anymore.
Jiang Yufeng whispered in Xiao Ancheng's ear: "Will we stop in Wuhu?"
Xiao Ancheng heard it right away, and she wanted to take a look at the "integrated store" she invested in.
But the stout man laughed loudly and said loudly: "I must invite you two to stop in Wuhu! I have already told the eldest lady that Mr. Xiao will stop in Wuhu!"
Xiao Ancheng looked at him in surprise: "What did you tell the first lady? Send a telegram?"
The man said: "People on the water have their own methods! Send a message thousands of miles and it will arrive in half a day!"
As for why he sent a message thousands of miles away, he refused to explain clearly. He just smiled mysteriously, looking very proud of himself.
14-20
When it was almost noon that day, the stout man said: "Mr. Xiao, look, Wuhu is ahead! Do you see that tall and thin building? That is Wuhu Customs! Next to the Customs is Pier 8. There are a total of Wuhu
There are ten terminals, and only Pier 8 is a passenger and cargo terminal! We disembarked at Pier 8. That area is the most prosperous place in Wuhu! Sir, did you know that Wuhu is known as Little Shanghai, and there are two main places
, one is around Pier 8, and the other is Long Street and Second Street. The ten-mile long street mentioned by literati is that area."
Jiang Yufeng couldn't wait to ask: "Have you heard of the integrated company?"
The stout man said: "I've heard that there is a rice, flour, grain and oil business on Second Street. Sir, you may not have thought of it, but Miss Chi is also doing the rice, flour, grain and oil business in Wuhu. Wuhu is one of the four major rice markets in the country!
"
Xiao Ancheng said with a smile: "After we get off the ship, we want to go to this integrated store to have a look."
The stout man said: "No problem, no problem! The eldest sister of the Chi family will pick you up first, and then I will accompany you to the integrated store!"
Xiao Ancheng was surprised, "Will you help us catch the wind?"
The stout man laughed loudly and said loudly: "Mr. Xiao, just don't come to Wuhu. If you come, the eldest lady of the Chi family will definitely welcome you two! Just wait and see!"
14-21
With several whistles, the "Maoyuan" slowly docked at the dock.
What the cargo ship is docking is actually a floating dock. This is a long box, as long as a ship, floating on the riverside and tied to the shore by several thick and long iron chains.
Xiao Ancheng and Jiang Yufeng followed the stout man off the boat and stepped onto the long floating dock. There was a long trestle on the floating dock that led directly to the shore. All guests who disembarked from the boat disembarked from the trestle.
Xiao Ancheng followed the stout man and stepped onto the rickety and creaking trestle. When they were halfway there, they saw the eldest daughter of the Chi family standing at the other end of the trestle, looking at him with a smile.
