At noon, Xiong Jiandong got his boarding pass and accompanied Miaoxin to check in her luggage before going through the security check.
Miaoxin has been practicing swordsmanship for many years, and has also served as a judge in a national martial arts and kendo competition. She naturally holds a "Sword Holding Certificate" registered and issued by a specialized agency, and it is permanently valid.
But swords are weapons after all. Even if Miao Xin has a "Sword Holding Certificate", according to the safety regulations of the aviation department, she must separate her body from the sword when boarding the plane.
So now, all we can do is pack the pair of swords into boxes and ship them randomly.
Miao Xin only had such trouble and inconvenience when taking a plane.
For trains and other means of transportation, as long as Miao Xin showed her "Sword Holding Certificate" and explained her Taoist identity, she would be allowed to carry the pair of mandarin duck swords with her in most cases.
The two of them were going to take a connecting flight from Shenzhen today and hurry up to Huaishang.
After Xiong Jiandong and Miao Xin passed the security check and entered the waiting room, they found that the connecting flight had not yet landed.
Just two days ago, when Xiong Jiandong was staying at the Daimaru Hotel in Tokyo, Japan, he risked his life that night and relied on Miaoxin's help to insert the button video recorder left behind by Captain Kent of the US Army after he escaped from the Front Brigade.
Entering the window of Lu Zhichao's room, he grasped the sinister plot laid by Lu Zhichao.
It turned out that Lu Zhichao sent Fan Lizhi as a bait to arrive in Sanya before the end of April and contact an informant who had been bribed there before to obtain important secrets about the military geography of the South China Sea.
Tan Qibiao, who was pursued by Xiong Jiandong all the way from the Middle East to Japan, according to Lu Zhichao's arrangement, also had to rush to Sanya during this period to cooperate with Fan Lizhi's intelligence collection.
Capturing Tan Qibiao for interrogation was Xiong Jiandong's long-held idea to live up to Lin Sirer's trust and try to obtain the whereabouts of the skull USB drive from him.
After discovering Lu Zhichao's intention, Xiong Jiandong had the idea of leaving as soon as possible and flying back to China.
As for Miao Xin, since she left the Taoist Temple in the Snow Mountain Queen Mother Pond in southern Xinjiang, she had been with Xiong Jiandong for half a month. The two of them planned a front brigade from the Middle East and finally stole the agreement signed between Huichang Yuan and Hulaqid.
She also hopes to return to the Snow Mountain Queen Mother Pond as soon as possible and return her orders in time to Master Ciyi and General Hou of the border army.
The next day, the two of them found a Tokyo bank, exchanged the $100,000 check handed over by Huracid, and immediately boarded a China Spring Airlines flight from Tokyo Haneda Airport, and flew to Urumqi that afternoon.
.I quickly transferred to another plane and finally arrived in Kashgar in southern Xinjiang in the evening.
However, when Xiong Jiandong and Miao Xin returned to the Queen Mother Pond in the Snow Mountain overnight, they learned that Ciyi had actually left the Yi'an Hall where she was retreating for self-cultivation, and had been wandering down the mountain alone for many days.
Master Ciyi is well over a hundred years old. Although his body is still strong and healthy over the years and has not changed much from when he was young, Miaoxin is still worried about her master.
After getting in touch with General Hou who was in the capital, he was surprised that Master Ciyi could actually leave alone and wander around outside the Snow Mountain Queen Mother Pond.
After Director General Hou decided to contact Director Qiao Zong of the Secret Service, the two of them listened to Xiong Jiandong and Miao Xin's report on their trip to the Middle East in person.
Previously, General Hou had been targeting Qiao Zong and the Special Intelligence Bureau, blocking any information that Xiong Jiandong survived the battle at Bald Eagle Ridge and was lurking about the war-torn Middle East with Miao Xin.
However, it happened that Director Qiao Zong left Beijing on a business trip at this time.
Commander-in-Chief Hou immediately dispatched a military helicopter from the Joint Service Force of the Border Police War Area. In the morning of the next day, Xiong Jiandong and Miao Xin, who had made a long journey, were sent back to Urumqi from the Taoist Temple of Queen Mother Pond in the Snow Mountain.
Diwobao Airport.
In the name of emergency military affairs, the two people were arranged directly on a flight to Beijing by the joint logistics force without even going through security checks, and were seated in first-class seats.
When leaving the Snow Mountain Queen Mother Pond Taoist Temple, Miao Xin took with her the two mandarin duck swords that she had been missing for many days.
Now that Qiao Zong has left the capital, Commander-in-Chief Hou has kept his promise to Master Ciyi and plans to have a detailed discussion with Qiao Zong when he meets Qiao Zong some time later.
The residence of Xiong Jiandong and Miao Xin in the capital was arranged by Commander-in-Chief Hou in a rather confidential military hotel, and a grand banquet was held for their safe return to China.
However, it was only Chief Hou who could accompany him at the dinner table this night.
Xiong Jiandong reported in detail the agreement signed between Huichang Yuan and Hurachid, as well as the Tuhan violent terrorist organization, the latent members and secret contact points developed in southern Xinjiang, etc., to General Secretary Hou in detail.
He also smiled to General Hou and said that this time he and Miao Xin cleverly pretended to be the Japanese horseman Ishikawa Yu, and Kasa Miqun and his wife went to the Middle East, and even plundered sheep, and accidentally got back the 100,000 US dollars in stolen arms transactions paid by Huracid.
.
However, Xiong Jiandong thought over and over again about Lu Zhichao sending Fan Lizhi to Sanya to acquire information, and felt that he could not reveal it to Chief Hou just yet.
Because he was worried that once the military or national security department intervened, they might be able to alert the enemy and cut off the clues he had finally discovered about Tan Qibiao's pursuit.
Xiong Jiandong thought that it would not be too late to make a report when the time was right and he was almost certain.
General Secretary Hou expressed great satisfaction with the fruitful results achieved by Xiong Jiandong and Miao Xin in their adventure to the Middle East, and praised them for their outstanding military exploits in ensuring national security.
At that time, he asked Xiong Jiandong if he had considered whether, now that he had returned to the capital, he should go to Xishan No. 19 and report to the Special Intelligence Bureau's Oriole Operation Team immediately that he had not actually died during the battle at Bald Eagle Ridge.
go through.
Before Xiong Jiandong could answer, Miao Xin rushed to tell Chief Hou that she believed that Brother Xiong could not return to the Special Intelligence Bureau at Xishan No. 19 at the moment.
She expressed her thoughts. She planned to work hard and follow the trend. The next day, she met Xiong Jiandong and took a plane to Huaishang. She went to the Shanngling Shenzong General Altar in Linhuai County in person to learn more about Hui.
The evidence that Chang Yuan deceived the church members should be used to expose the various crimes committed by him and the Shanngling Shen Sect as soon as possible.
Xiong Jiandong calculated the time and found that there were still a few days until the end of April, which would not delay his trip to Sanya, so he agreed with Miao Xin's proposal.
When General Hou saw the positive attitude of the two of them, he immediately agreed and said, this is the best!
He immediately wrote down a warrant and gave it to Xiong Jiandong, instructing him that if there was an accident or urgent need in Huaishang, he could use the warrant to mobilize local armed police and public security forces at any time to provide rescue.
When General Hou was leaving, he thought of the one hundred thousand US dollars that Xiong Jiandong mentioned just now, and specifically explained that since this money was not due to the country, as the direct head of the country, he now approved the two of them to own the money.
Complete discretionary power.
As for how to make full use of this windfall, Xiong Jiandong and Miaoxin came up with a plan to earn Huichang Yuan's trust.
The two people's strategy is to rely on the strength of numbers.
Xiong Jiandong immediately called Brother Zhang on Jiuwei Mountain and asked him to rent a tourist bus. Together with several other brothers he had sworn before, he reunited with Zhang Dacheng, Second Aunt Yang and their gang and scattered around the capital.
Beggars from all over the country will go to the main altar of Shanngling Shenzong in Linhuai County, Huaishang City.
At that time, he was flattered by Zhang Dacheng and Aunt Yang, who successively held several ridiculous titles such as Beggar Head Military Advisor and Beggar Clan King.
Together, Xiong Jiandong and Miao Xin had enough money on hand at the moment anyway, so they could organize a free vacation trip for those poor people who had been begging for many years, and also give each person some work-loss allowance.
Both of them felt that granting lost work allowance to beggars seemed absurd, but it was actually reasonable.
…
It wasn't until around one o'clock in the afternoon that the connecting flight from Shenzhen to Beijing finally landed at the airport. It would fly to Huaishang 40 minutes after landing.
Xiong Jiandong and Miao Xin boarded the plane and found their respective seats.
There are seats for three people in each row, and a man and a woman are already seated in the back.
The woman buried her head in the man's arms and leaned over as if she had fallen asleep. The man was looking outside through the window of the plane.
When he realized that someone would take a seat next to him after boarding the plane, the man turned his head and glanced at Xiong Jiandong unintentionally.
When Xiong Jiandong saw the other person clearly, his expression suddenly became surprised and confused.
Because he could see very clearly that this man was none other than Tao Hailiang, whom he was quite familiar with.
Immediately, he lowered his head and looked at the woman held in Tao Hailiang's arms.
Although we couldn't see her face, we could tell from her body shape that she was obviously not Tao Hailiang's wife, Hua Nianping and Lin Sirer's female classmate Hong Fang.
"Could this woman be..."
Xiong Jiandong frowned and guessed in his mind.
Tao Hailiang clearly observed the suspicion in Xiong Jiandong's eyes, and immediately felt a hint of uneasiness, thinking that this passenger who had just boarded the plane must not be someone familiar with him in Huaishang.
It has only been a few months since he took office in Huaishang City. Except for the direct staff around him and the leaders of Enyuan Group, he will certainly not remember other officials of all sizes who can be named and are familiar with him.
too much.
However, through the local TV news in Huaishang, or at certain large-scale events, there are so many people who have seen Tao Hailiang in public that no one can count.
"I'm sorry, could you call your wife and move this foot inward a little bit?"
Xiong Jiandong deliberately pointed at the woman's long legs that were out of position and said to Tao Hailiang.
In fact, his real purpose is to wake up the woman and see her face clearly.
When the woman heard the noise, she got out of Tao Hailiang's arms, glared at Xiong Jiandong, and drew her legs inward.
Xiong Jiandong immediately saw the other person clearly and thought that his guess was correct, she was indeed Qiu Xiangya!
At that moment I thought: "After all, as I had worried before, Tao Hailiang really betrayed his wife Hong Fang because of Qiu Xiangya."
Miaoxin's seat was in the opposite row. She didn't want Xiong Jiandong to argue with others, so she said, "How about I change seats with Brother Xiong?"
Xiong Jiandong shook his head at Miaoxin and said, "That's fine!"
But in his heart, he was wondering why Tao Hailiang and Qiu Xiangya appeared on the flight from Shenzhen?
