Du Juan said: "Tomorrow night at seven o'clock, Citibank will hold a reception to celebrate its 20th anniversary. They have invited me. You can go with me."
Qi Yue hesitated: "Can I not go?"
Dujuan said: "No. Come pick me up at home at six o'clock tomorrow night."
Qi Yue immediately said: "Okay."
Dujuan said: "Dress appropriately."
Qi Yue thought for a while: "Is that suit okay?"
"Um."
Dujuan glanced at him: "Are you busy tomorrow night?"
Qi Yue said: "It's nothing. Sun Aidi, a staff member in the household registration department, had a birthday party and invited a few colleagues to her home for a party. She told me yesterday..."
"Is Sun Aidi a boy or a girl?"
"Female."
"She's a pretty girl, right?"
"I can't say it's pretty, but it's not ugly anyway..."
"You are from the Special Service Section and she is from the Household Registration Section. How did you meet?"
Du Juan asked with a smile.
Then he added: "It's just small talk, you don't have to answer."
Qi Yue said: "In the past, when I was in the Criminal Division, I often went to the Household Registration Division to obtain suspect information. I got to know her as soon as I went back and forth."
Dujuan said: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to disturb your good things..."
Qi Yue said: "Maybe you misunderstood..."
Du Juan continued: "It doesn't matter who misunderstood me. This is the intention of the webmaster. Mrs. Rong will also attend the cocktail party tomorrow night. You will have a chance to get to know her."
Qi Yue asked: "Which Mrs. Rong?"
Du Juan said: "The deputy commander of the Anguo Army, Rong Feng, has newly married his third concubine. Rong Feng loves her very much. Every time he returns to the city to rest, he will definitely stay at her place."
Qi Yue said: "What do you need me to do?"
Du Juan smiled slightly: "That third concubine is not a law-abiding master. When she was singing in an opera, she ran away with a pretty girl once. You, pretty girl, might be able to catch her eye..."
"Dujuan, let's get down to business."
Qi Yue was a little embarrassed.
Du Juan put away the smile on her face: "This is business. The stationmaster wants you to find a chance to try and see if you can find out about An Guojun's deployment situation from the third concubine's mouth - Rong Feng
Wherever you go, An Guojun will naturally be there!"
Qi Yue thought for a while: "What if it doesn't work?"
Du Juan said: "It's just a try, the webmaster doesn't have much hope..."
Qiu Weihan's idea was very simple. He planned to reorganize the remnants of the Loyalty and Salvation Army and ambush this inexperienced unit. However, he also understood that when the strength of the enemy and ourselves were disparate, only by knowing ourselves and the enemy could we have a chance to win.
The Anguo Army can be said to be notorious. It is an army mainly composed of Manchus. The famous female spy Kawashima Dongzhen serves as the commander-in-chief.
The Kwantung Army was mopping up everywhere, and the Anguo Army was following behind, pretending to be powerful, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.
Kawashima Dongzhen was originally a descendant of the Manchu royal family. She was adopted by a Japanese ronin when she was a child. When she grew up, she always used her Japanese name to the outside world.
She once participated in the Huanggutun Incident, assisted Empress Wanrong in escaping from Tianjin Guards, and personally planned the January 28th Incident. Her shadow can be seen in almost all major events.
The commander of the North China Front Army, Shun Tada, regarded this female spy who had repeatedly made extraordinary achievements. He not only awarded her the rank of Army Major, but also specially allocated funds to form this unit, the Anguo Army.
The main reason for attaching so much importance to Kawashima Dongzhen is to win over people's hearts. With this Manchukuo army, newspapers can exaggerate fake news such as the Anguo army's great victory in suppressing bandits.
Not to mention combat effectiveness, fame must be used to boost the morale of the puppet Manchukuo army.
Tada Shun knew that Kawashima Tojin might be an excellent spy, but he was definitely not capable of becoming the military commander of an army.
Therefore, Kawashima Dongzhen is only in name.
The title of commander-in-chief of the Anguo Army can make her dazzling in various public occasions.
Tada Shun's purpose is to create a political star for Manchukuo!
The Anguo Army recruited nearly 3,000 people, which is equivalent to the size of an infantry regiment in the Japanese army. The weapons and equipment are exactly the same as the Japanese army. They have been stationed in the area around Binjiang for a long time, and their main task is to "clear out" the anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese armed forces in Binjiang.
Honored to serve as deputy commander of this army.
He is also the de facto military commander.
…
Xiaoxiangyuan is the name of a restaurant.
It's not far from Huaihua Lane.
The store is not big, maybe because it is newly opened, there are not many customers.
Even in the dining room, the restaurant seemed a bit deserted.
Qi Yue and Du Juan found seats and sat down.
"What do you two want to eat?"
The boss came to greet me personally.
He speaks with a thick Hunan accent.
Du Juan is also from Hunan, so she specially added the local accent: "Can you make fish head with chopped pepper?"
The boss said: "Of course we can do it. How can a Hunan restaurant not make fish head with chopped peppers?"
Du Juan said: "Then let's have a fish head with chopped pepper and a fried pork with pepper."
The boss asked: "May I ask, Miss, where in Hunan are you from?"
Du Juan said: "I am from Xiangtan, how about you?"
The boss said: "I am from Ningxiang."
Du Juan snorted: "Ningxiang is far away from Xiangtan... What's your surname, the boss?"
The boss said: "My surname is Wang."
Du Juan asked: "Boss Wang, I see your store is newly opened. How long have you been in Binjiang?"
Boss Wang said: "I came here at the beginning of the year..."
Business in the restaurant was slow, so Boss Wang chatted a little more.
The Japanese army attacked Changsha City, and the surrounding area became a battlefield. One night, a howitzer deviated from its direction, penetrated the roof, and hit the floor of Boss Wang's bedroom. Fortunately, it was a stink bomb and did not explode.
The family had fallen asleep at that time, and suddenly the shells fell from the sky. They were so frightened that they went crazy. If they heard the sound of gunfire again, they would not even dare to sleep.
Boss Wang thought about it and decided to move away from the dangerous place, but he felt that it was not safe anywhere, so he decided to make a change once and for all. He moved his family to the Northeast, leaving his hometown just to stay away from the war.
Soon, a portion of fish head with chopped pepper was served on the table.
The fish head is covered with a thick layer of chopped red pepper, and the spicy taste is tangy.
Du Juan praised: "Looking at the ingredients, this is the authentic fish head with chopped pepper!"
Qi Yue frowned and said, "Can this be eaten?"
Du Juan said: "There is very little chopped pepper, so it shouldn't be very spicy."
Qi Yue tried to taste it, but it was so spicy that he was speechless for a long time.
Du Juan smiled and said: "If you can't eat spicy food, then eat more meat."
Qi Yue ate another piece of meat, which was also spicy and kept coughing. He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "I know why the restaurant's business is not good..."
The curtain opened and a little girl came in.
She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a pretty face, big eyes, two pigtails, and a palace fan in her hand.
She looked around, then said to the door in a nice Wu Nong soft voice: "Miss, there are few people here, come in."
