"Master, the time is almost up." Ulysses said to Zhou Hao: "The next person to take the shift should be arriving soon."
When Zhou Hao heard this, he immediately became more vigilant. Ulysses, who seemed calm on the surface, was also secretly on guard, preparing to follow Zhou Hao's order just now and rush to the monitoring room as soon as he took over. Before Zhou Hao's disguise was seen through, he
The people in the control room took control.
However, when Zhou Hao used his intuition to sense it, he didn't feel any danger, so he guessed that the person who came to pick up Ulysses was not Fuma Kotaro or Mohandas, but the Korean Cui Shiming.
Sure enough, the door to the secret room opened automatically, and Zhou Hao saw a man in his fifties.
This man is short in stature, has a Chinese character face, and has ordinary facial features. He wears a pair of thick black-rimmed glasses. Behind the glasses are a pair of very honest eyes. Moreover, this man is wearing a long cyan gown.
At first glance, this man looks like an intellectual from the Republic of China period.
Seeing this man, Zhou Hao frowned, because if this man was the "chess and sword master" Cui Shiming, then how could he dress like this? He didn't look like a Korean at all, but looked like a traditional Chinese literati.
Very personable.
Ulysses' voice came into his ears at this moment: "Master, this is Cui Shiming."
Cui Shiming walked in slowly, also sizing up Zhou Hao, but his eyes were not sharp at all. He was still that kind of honest and harmless person. Without knowing the inside story, no one could imagine that this seemingly honest man would be a top-notch man.
martial arts master.
"Mr. Ulysses, I'm here to take your place." Cui Shiming spoke extremely fluent Chinese.
Ulysses nodded slightly, stood up and left the secret room without saying a word. After the door of the secret room was closed, only Zhou Hao and Cui Shiming were left here.
I saw Cui Shiming cupping his fists towards Zhou Hao, and said with a smile: "Hello, Cui Shiming, please give me your advice."
Zhou Hao looked at him carefully for a while, then sneered: "I heard you are Korean."
Cui Shiming smiled: "Your Excellency, seeing my dress and speaking Chinese, you suspect that I am Chinese? Hahahaha... I am an authentic Korean. It's just that I have always respected and admired the Central Plains culture. After all, our nation's
Culture is inherited and developed from your Central Plains side."
"Oh? Haven't you always boasted that your culture was developed by yourself? Even our Confucianism and Taoism were stolen from you." Zhou Hao sneered.
"Hehehehe... It's just the nonsense of future generations who have high self-esteem and low self-esteem." Cui Shiming really has the character of the literati during the Republic of China, open-minded and straightforward: "They only do these stupid things because they are cowardly about their own culture, because
The culture of our nation is greatly influenced by your Central Plains people, and they are afraid that they will be assimilated by the Central Plains culture, so they just make these childish actions in order to become independent."
After a pause, Cui Shiming said again: "Your Excellency is a Chinese master. You must not be as knowledgeable as our ignorant descendants? Haha, I want to apologize to you for what they did. Please
How about forgiveness?"
Zhou Hao shrugged: "This is a matter between nations. I am not qualified to make decisions on behalf of my nation. Besides, if you want to gain the understanding and recognition of others, you have to rely on your own nation's strength."
, don’t do that childish and ignorant thing again. Also, don’t become someone else’s lackey anymore, lest future generations and generations of ancestors will be unable to hold their heads high!”
"Your Excellency, are you talking about me working for the CIA?" Cui Shiming naturally understood that Zhou Hao was mocking himself and even South Korea for being the lackeys of the Americans.
Zhou Hao didn't say anything and was noncommittal.
But Cui Shiming sighed: "Your Excellency, you must also know that the Korean Peninsula has been divided into two different countries since World War II. North Korea is backed by the Russians and China, and it is so hostile to us. We have no backing behind us.
, we have a feud with Japan. If war really breaks out, how can we fight back? We only rely on the Americans as a last resort.
As for me, for the sake of national interests and national justice, what does my personal honor gain or loss count? Just as you Lin Zexu said: "If you live and die to benefit the country, how can you avoid it because of misfortunes and blessings?" I am just doing it for my own country.
That’s all.”
Listening to Cui Shiming's words, Zhou Hao couldn't blame him. After all, he and he were just doing it for their respective countries. Zhou Hao suddenly felt that Cui Shiming was somewhat similar to the big boss, and they both had the same spirit of being willing to sacrifice for the country.
After that, the two of them fell silent, and Zhou Hao was also calculating the time in his mind, because the time for unanimous action with the central government was coming soon.
At this time, a navy brought tea in. Cui Shiming likes to drink tea, so the CIA specially collected a lot of precious Chinese tea for him to taste. No, the navy brought tea to him, as well as a set of ancient purple sand tea sets.
Cui Shiming meticulously set up the tea set in front of Zhou Hao, and skillfully washed and brewed the tea. Although Zhou Hao was not an expert in this art, he could still see that Cui Shiming had great experience in the art of tea and had learned the essence of tea tasting by the ancients.
He finally poured two cups of fragrant tea and made a gesture of invitation to Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao said: "You and I are enemies now, so I won't drink this tea. If there is another chance in the future, let's make friends over tea again."
Cui Shiming shook his head: "Your Excellency, you are a little optimistic. To be honest, after being caught here, I don't think you have a chance to leave. Don't expect your country to rescue you. Although you yourself are also trying to rescue you.
That peerless talent came here, but don’t forget, your Excellency, with your skills, wouldn’t you also be captured alive?”
He picked up one of the cups of tea and raised it towards Zhou Hao: "Although you don't want to be my friend, I admire your courage to go deep into the dragon's den and the tiger's den for the sake of the country. I have always liked tea but not wine. This cup of tea, even if I respect you
Let’s have a cup.” After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing him drink the tea, Zhou Hao smiled: "Mr. Cui, I think I will definitely be able to get out of this predicament. This is not optimism, but a kind of confidence. Hahahaha... the time is coming."
"Time?" Seeing the confident smile on Zhou Hao's face, Cui Shi felt an ominous omen.
Just at this moment, the door of the secret room opened again, and a man wearing a black kimono and a copper-gold demon mask came in. It was Fuma Kotaro!
"Oh? Is it Mr. Feng Mo?" Cui Shiming nodded to Feng Mo Kotaro.
Fuma Kotaro walked straight in and said: "I heard that Ulysses captured a guy who came to rescue Zhong Juren. He also said that this person's martial arts skills were so high that even Ulysses almost suffered a loss. It is rare to have such a master.
I’m here to see you.”
When he came to Cui Shiming, saw his tea set, and smelled the fragrant tea fragrance, Feng Mo Xiaotaro smiled and said: "Mr. Cui is tasting tea again? Is it to meet friends with tea here? Mr. Cui, you don't know how
Do you want to make friends with this enemy?"
"Although he and we are enemies in the camp, we are fellow travelers in martial arts. Why shouldn't Cui treat him with tea?" Cui Shiming smiled brightly.
Fuma Kotaro did not comment, but his eyes turned to Zhou Hao.
At this time, Zhou Hao had put on disguise, but his body shape had not changed much, and the temperament on his body could not be changed. Therefore, the moment Fuma Kotaro saw Zhou Hao, a sense of familiarity arose in his heart, and he stared at Zhou Hao even more.
Zhou Hao looked, and the more he looked, the more familiar Zhou Hao seemed to Kotaro Fuma, especially those eyes, which always gave Kotaro Fuma a sense of déjà vu.
"Are you from the 'First Army'? Have I met you before?" Fuma Kotaro stared at Zhou Hao with narrowed eyes and said.
Zhou Hao sneered: "As expected, my disguise seems to have no effect in front of you, but it doesn't matter, the agreed time has arrived anyway."
Cui Shiming's face changed at this time, and a strange blush appeared on his cheeks. He just heard him muffled: "Oops, I seem to be poisoned!"
He immediately looked at the fragrant tea in front of him, and the blush on his face became a little darker: "It's these teas! It's so poisonous that even I didn't notice it!"
Fuma Kotaro was also shocked, because extremely masters like them have much better insight into and resistance to poisons than ordinary people. Unless they were captured and forced to poison like the big boss, other people would be very surprised.
It is difficult to assassinate them with poison.
And with Cui Shiming's skill, he didn't even notice the poison, which shows how powerful the poison is.
Fuma Kotaro immediately suspected Zhou Hao: "Could it be this guy?"
"Probably not." Cui Shiming said while using the zhenqi in his body to resist the poison: "I just kept looking at him, and he had no chance to poison me."
But Zhou Hao smiled and said: "Mr. Cui, you are wrong. This poison was indeed administered by me. And not only you, but the entire Nimitz has been poisoned."
"What!" Cui Shiming and Fuma Kotaro exclaimed in unison, wondering how Zhou Hao could poison them and even the entire people on the "Nimitz" when his whole body was restrained.
Zhou Hao did not explain to them. With a strong effort, he broke the two steel buckles on the steel chair that held his hands!
