Xiang Xiaoqiang finished talking with a sense of accomplishment about how he used his wits, took advantage of the situation, made impromptu decisions, and used the incident of "the Queen's plane was shot down" to put up a smoke screen and attract the attention of the stick. Then, next to him,
Team members, stomachaches, snails, etc. were all flattering, hoping to help their superiors gain face in front of beautiful women.
Miss Zhao felt her eyes darkened and she was about to faint.
Xiang Xiaoqiang noticed that Miss Zhao had a strange look on her face and was about to fall down. He quickly held him up and shouted:
"Miss Zhao, Miss Zhao, what's going on? Military doctor!"
Miss Zhao took a weak breath and said in a hoarse voice:
"No... no need..."
She struggled to sit up from Xiang Xiaoqiang's arms and looked at him coldly. Her eyes were extremely complicated. If you looked carefully, you could see anger, frustration, shame and anger...
But at this time, it was all in the dark, and no one leaned forward to make a careful identification.
"I...I'm fine," Miss Zhao covered her forehead, lowered her head and murmured, "So...Mr. Xiang Xiaoqiang, His Majesty is actually in Nanjing now? You have done all this, you...bloodbathed the Xuzhou branch, and
The Nanjing royal family announced that the Queen is seriously ill, all to cooperate with you, to... to save those twelve female soldiers?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang was startled, stared into her eyes and said:
"Miss Zhao, how do you know what the Nanjing royal family announced? I don't think I told you..."
Miss Zhao bit her nails and stared blankly at the car roof. She ignored his doubts and just insisted:
"Say...is that so?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang said:
"Uh...that's it."
Miss Zhao was stunned for a long time before sighing:
"You... deceived me so hard..."
"how?"
"I learned that they announced that His Majesty was seriously ill during the trial in the afternoon..."
"Oh..." Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded slightly, and his doubts were relieved a little, and he asked tightly, "We deceived you so hard, what do you mean?"
Miss Zhao still looked up at the roof of the car. As the car bumped, two tears slid down her cheeks, reflecting the lights in the distance.
More than one person saw Miss Zhao crying. A large number of men looked at each other in confusion and looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang in a daze. Xiang Xiaoqiang was also confused, wondering why Miss Zhao had such a reaction.
Xiao Wu hurriedly crawled over, stayed with her, took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into her. Miss Zhao took the handkerchief, hugged Xiao Wu without saying a word. The beauties, big and small, were all stunned, as if they had been beaten by frost.
Poor Chu Chu, looking extremely fragile.
After a while, Miss Zhao sniffed and sighed:
"Today at noon, the people from Sticky Rod took us away and asked me to admit that Xiao Wu is His Majesty and Zhu... Zhu Yourong... I began to think they were playing some conspiracy. Anyway, my identity and mission were not exposed. This kind of inexplicable thing
, of course not admitting it. Later, they pressed harder and harder, and even produced a statement that His Majesty was seriously ill just issued by the Ming Dynasty royal family. Only then did I understand what was going on and what they were hinting at... I really thought that His Majesty had really been shot down.
They are really on the run in the Qinglu land... I made up my mind that since they want us to admit it, I will admit it, so that they believe that Your Majesty has caught it and will not continue the search. Then Your Majesty still
There is hope of escaping..."
Suddenly, everyone in the carriage was filled with sighs of admiration and nodding. Xiang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but admire Miss Zhao. You know, this kind of thing doesn't end just after admitting it. Sooner or later, Qinglu will find out that they are fake. At that time,
You can imagine how they would take cruel revenge on the two weak women when they became angry.
"But they are not satisfied with this. They want me to tell more situations and some royal secrets...I don't know those things. I only know that the longer I pretend to be His Majesty, the more chance His Majesty will have to escape."
, so I pretended to know and kept silent...So, they tortured me...with electric shock..."
Miss Zhao broke down in tears when she said this.
The carriage was quiet, and everyone was already looking at Miss Zhao like a saint. Xiang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but echo that unyielding female voice in his ears:
"I know the names and addresses of the superiors. I also know the names and addresses of the subordinates. But this is a secret of our party and I cannot tell you."
…
Without saying a word, Xiang Xiaoqiang left his seat, went to Miss Zhao, and bowed deeply. In his excitement, his mind searched for Wen Zou's scholarly words:
"Miss Zhao is really a role model for the women of the Ming Dynasty, which puts men and women like me to shame! If we, the men and women of the Ming Dynasty, were like Miss Zhao, why would the Qing Dynasty's captives have no worries and why would the Central Plains never recover? I admire you so much!"
Even though my stomach hurts, I couldn’t help but sigh:
"Yes, our Ming Dynasty Dongchang has a loyal person like Miss Zhao. It's really worthy of the Dongchang's plaque of 'loyalty to serve the country'... Ah, by the way, Miss Zhao is from our Dongchang, right?"
Miss Zhao said lightly:
"I'm sorry, brother, my task is too important to explain clearly..."
I felt a stomachache and was stunned for a moment, then I opened my mouth and said:
"Hey, didn't you just say..."
"Ziteng!" Xiang Xiaoqiang glared at him fiercely and scolded, "Miss Zhao is absolutely loyal, all for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. Their mission is more important than ours. If it's not convenient for you to tell us, don't ask for it!"
"Ah...ah," he said awkwardly with a stomachache, "Zhao...Miss Zhao, Du is confused, please don't blame me."
Miss Zhao leaned on the canvas cover and glanced at a car full of respectful old men, especially the frightened and admiring Xiang Xiaoqiang in the middle. She felt that the resentment in her heart had softened a little, and she raised her handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face.
, smiled with a wicked smile::
"Everyone, please take a seat... Mr. Xiang, please don't bow to me anymore... I can't afford it as a little girl. If you continue to bow to me, you will be old..."
She looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang and sat back down in his seat in embarrassment, and smiled secretly: Xiang Xiaoqiang, Xiang Xiaoqiang, I won't give you any new year's money no matter how I bow... It turns out that the dragon in Pukou has never seen its head and tail, and it is said that Xiang is more cunning than a fox.
Xiaoqiang is such a young boy...
Miss Zhao nodded, feeling confident: I can play well with this person. Within the next three moves, your entire team will be killed.
…
The team drove the truck to a freight yard near Li Changgui's dormitory and parked it there. They had watched this place during the day, and few people came, and because it was a freight yard, there were several trucks parked here, and it would be easy to park another military truck.
not obvious.
Besides, this military truck was not stolen by the commando, but was requisitioned from a nearby military camp by virtue of his identity as a stickman before preparing to rob the prison. The reason was very simple. Someone from the Beijing stickman general office had a mission and requisitioned a truck.
The military vehicle was needed for missions, so it took about two or three days to drive it back. The ID was shown and signed at the time, so no one would look for the vehicle within two or three days.
But even so, they definitely couldn't park such a thing directly outside Li Changgui's house. They got out of the car, carried all their belongings, and walked near Li Changgui's house in the dark, observing.
There was no one around for a while, so I quickly entered the door.
The team members had been running around outside all day, and they were tired, cold, and hungry. When they suddenly entered the warm room, they felt indescribably comfortable.
"The place is small, haha, brothers, sit down wherever you like," Li Changgui greeted warmly, patted the bed and chairs, and dragged out two long benches, and then said, "You must be hungry, I will boil water and give it to the brothers.
Let’s get something to eat.”
Everyone smiled and nodded politely. They had already found a place to sit down, and their stomachs were growling. Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that he could not relax his vigilance at this time. After all, there was still a large-scale manhunt outside. He ordered his team members to check their weapons.
, submachine guns, box guns, and machine guns were all loaded and kept at hand, and people were arranged to stand guard by the north and south windows to observe what was going on outside the house.
Although it is outside the city, it is in the railway area, so even though it is simple, it still has running water. Li Changgui filled a large pot with water, burned it on the stove in the small kitchen outside, and then filled the furnace
After two shovels of coal, he put his head in a big cotton coat and said:
"Brother, help me look after the water. I'm going to buy some food for the brothers! It's only after nine o'clock, and the small restaurant over at the depot is not closed yet."
Then he hesitated and said:
"Sir Du, please come with me. Haha, there are many brothers and there is a lot to buy. I can't carry it alone."
Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that he wanted people to accompany him, mainly because he wanted people to follow him all the way to show that he was really going to buy food, not to inform others.
Smiling secretly to Xiaoqiang, Li Changgui looked at Manlu, who was actually quite thoughtful. He may have guessed that the team was not 100% confident about him, or maybe this was the rule of this industry.
In fact, it's not that I don't trust him, the main reason is that this is too serious and cannot tolerate any negligence. He looked at him to ask if he had a stomachache, and he nodded slightly, indicating that it was necessary.
"Okay then," Xiang Xiaoqiang said with a smile, "Ziteng, go with Chang Gui and help. Oh, you have money, right? There are so many of us, don't let parents spend too much money."
Li Changgui quickly expressed politeness, took a big basket with his stomachache, and went out.
…
The kitchen of this small bungalow is built just outside the door, only two or three square meters, with a small wooden door, and boiling water for cooking is inside. Miss Zhao volunteered to look at the water on the stove, Xiang Xiaoqiang because she had been tortured, her body
He was weak and reluctant to let her go out. It was so cold outside. But Miss Zhao was very virtuous and gently pushed him away. She said with a smile that this was a job for women. In an instant, this kind of traditional Ming Dynasty woman came out of the hall,
The beautiful image of the kitchen he entered almost conquered Xiang Xiaoqiang's heart.
Miss Zhao was boiling water outside, while Xiao Wu, who was deaf and mute, sat obediently by the briquettes stove with his arms around his knees to warm himself up. Li Gensheng winked at the snail, and the two quietly came to the side of Xiang Xiaoqiang who was still unconscious.
Snail looked outside the door, then at Xiao Wu, and whispered:
"Uncle..."
"Um?"
When Snail calls him this, he is talking to him in a very close capacity.
"Uncle..." He lowered his voice and said hesitantly, "I think... you shouldn't be wary of that Miss Zhao..."
"Um?!"
"She... she has a bit of an unknown background after all... You told her so intimately about our affairs, but she didn't tell us about hers... We can't guess her at all..."
"Snail, snail," Xiang Xiaoqiang glanced at Xiao Wu excitedly and lowered his voice, "Tell me, how many of our sisters are there in total?"
Both of them were stunned:
"ah?!"
Then they immediately understood the significance of Xiang Xiaoqiang's words, and they all turned to look at Xiao Wu.
Xiaowu sat by the stove, like a good baby, holding her knees, pursed her lips, rocking back and forth, her big black eyes looking around, and when she saw them looking at her, she immediately averted their eyes and stared.
On tiptoe.
It looks like...it does look quite similar, but...
The two of them looked at Xiaoqiang with a somewhat embarrassed look, as if to say: Boss, you have watched too many TV series...
At this time, a "gurgling" sound came from outside, and at the same time, water vapor squeezed in through the crack of the door with the wind.
The water in the kitchen is boiling.
The three of them stared at each other for half a minute. The sound of boiling water outside didn't stop. It seemed that no one was paying attention to the pot of water.
"Where's Miss Zhao?"
Said Xiang Xiaoqiang.
"Isn't she in charge of the water?"
The snail also said.
Li Gensheng didn't say anything and jumped up.
The three of them rushed out together and pushed open the kitchen door.
