"How about it, let's leave it?" Tang Keming sat at the door before he left. He saw Chen Miao come out of the ward and stand up to meet him.

"Is there any cigarette?" Chen Miao asked with two fingers stretched out.

Tang Keming reached out and touched his pocket, took out an empty cigarette box and turned around: "Who do you have cigarettes?"

"Saturday, I have it here?" A spy from the investigation team of the Intelligence Department handed over a half-pack of three cannons, which was wrinkled. At a glance, you could tell that you were reluctant to take it out and took it out to honor the superior.

"This kid is very smart. Knowing that Zhang Lu is dead, he immediately changed his mind and planned to come to our side." Chen Miao lit a cigarette and said with a sip.

"I can see that this person named Wan is a tough guy with ability, but this kind of person is ambitious and difficult to control." Tang Keming nodded.

"I am not afraid of being ambitious. What I am afraid of is to use any means to climb up." Chen Miao nodded, "Director has any instructions?"

"Director loves talents, you don't know that Wan Shenghe can be valued by Lao Ding must have some skills. Anyone with ability wants to take it under his command." Tang Keming said.

"Since the director wants to take over, why ask me to come?" Chen Miao said.

"Isn't you shortage of people there? Besides, who can suppress Wan Sheng and besides you?" Tang Keming smiled and complimented.

"Stop coming, even if Wan Shenghe is a tiger, he will have to keep his hands on our 76th." Chen Miao snorted, "This guy can't stay in the hospital to recuperate, he has to find a safe place for him."

"Okay, brother Sanshui, you say something, how can I not do it?" Tang Keming smiled, "The Yangtze River Company has a warehouse on the banks of the Suzhou River. No one comes over. The one who sees the warehouse is a distant relative of mine. It is quiet and suitable for recuperation. How about arrange the people in the past?"

"Yeah, it's pretty good." Chen Miao nodded.

...

"Brother, find a place to have dinner tonight, will I call Lao Fu and the others?" Tang Keming caught up with Chen Miao and asked.

"Not tonight. I haven't been back for dinner for several days. If I don't go back, Xueqin should be angry. How about tomorrow night?" Chen Miao declined.

"Tomorrow is tomorrow night, then we have made a decision, and we are not allowed to let my pigeons go?"

"OK."

The real situation is that he made an appointment with Lao Fan to discuss things. Without special circumstances, he would not break the appointment.

On Yuyuan Road, a fishing fire tavern.

Chen Miao changed into an old cotton robe, his face turned pale yellow, his beard was stained, and his temples were slightly treated. These were done at Xiaoqi's original place.

The place where Xiaoqi used to rent is now considered a safe house.

It was cold and there were fewer people coming out to have dinner at night. The business of this tavern was a little worse than before, but it still maintained a occupancy rate of 30% or 40%.

This time Chen Miao came early. He first asked someone to burn a pot of wine and ordered a plate of alcoholic peanuts, fennel beans and other side dishes, and waited alone while drinking.

About ten minutes later, Lao Fan wore a linoleum hat, pushed open the door, and came in from outside with his hands together. When he saw Chen Miao sitting there drinking, he couldn't help but grin and walked over.

He sat down opposite Chen Miao, reached out and grabbed two peanuts into the plate and threw them into his mouth, then picked up Chen Miao's wine glass without hesitation, and drank the hot rice wine with a "gulp" sound.

"Boss, cut half a pound of pork head meat, half a pound of mutton, and then cook a pot of mutton soup to bring it up!" Chen Miao could only smile bitterly, reach out to wave to his friend, and give him an order.

"Okay, wait a moment, come soon." The guy agreed and went to the kitchen to notify him.

"Wine, wine, boil another pot!" Old Fan chased the guy and added.

The guy glanced at Chen Miao because he didn't look like he had money to pay the bill. If the hot wine couldn't be sold, he could only be considered his own.

Chen Miao nodded.

The guy went down quickly.

"The Kuomintang is engaging in friction again. Not long ago, Zhu Shaoliang, the commander-in-chief of the Eighth War Zone, attacked the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, occupied our Ning County, Zhenyuan and other places. The left-behind troops in our border areas attacked them head-on. At the time of the country's life and death, these people did not want to resist the invasion of Japanese imperialism, but they fought in a big way, completely ignoring the lives of the people." Lao Fan said sadly and angry.

“What is the attitude at home?”

"Expose the Kuomintang's passive resistance to Japan and actively opposes the Communist Party to the outside world, but requires all troops to maintain relative restraint to prevent exaggeration of the situation."

"There is no Japanese instigation factor?"

"It's not clear yet, but if Chongqing doesn't have this idea, it's useless no matter how the Japanese instigate them." Lao Fan said, "What news do you have?"

"I heard some rumor, but I didn't check it."

"What news?"

"Old Fan, you know, how dare I report this unverified news to my hometown?" Chen Miao said solemnly. If this is misleading, I cannot bear this responsibility.

"What does it matter if you tell me?"

"Okay, I heard that some people from the Japanese military have secretly contacted Chongqing in Hong Kong..." Chen Miao said in a low voice.

"Is this related to the recent provocation of the Kuomintang against our anti-Japanese base?"

"I can't say it either, but the Japanese may have political reasons for doing this. First, the influence of Wang's family did not meet their expectations. Wang's government wanted to open it. At present, there is no result. Second, Japan also has the idea of ​​ending China's war, but their goal is to force Chongqing to surrender in a way that is to put pressure on the Wang family and force Wang to make greater concessions to Japan during the negotiations..." Chen Miao analyzed.

"Well, it makes sense." Lao Fan said, "How much do you know about the secret negotiations between Wang and the Japanese side?"

"It's hard for me to inquire about this. After all, with my current position, it's hard to reach such high-end secrets. The specifications of secret talks are so high and the confidentiality is beyond imagination." Chen Miao said, "Perhaps there is more news from Xilin Longfu than us."

"Well, I won't put pressure on you in this regard. Just do your best." Lao Fan nodded.

"I understand." Chen Miao nodded, "By the way, 'queen' gave me an order to pay attention to the daily itinerary of Gao Zongwu and Tao Yuansheng. I judged that Chongqing is also trying to start with the people Wang's participation in the secret negotiations."

"Assassination?"

"I thought it was assassination at first, but later I carefully analyzed the past actions of 'queen' and found that there were not many assassinations or assassinations. So, I judged that she might want to open a gap from these two people and understand the secret talks between Wang and the Japanese side." Chen Miao said, "At the same time, she should also be testing me, testing my loyalty to the Military Control Commission and my ability to do things."

"Then what are you going to do?" Lao Fan asked.

"I haven't found a channel for connection yet, but I plan to let Xiaoqi follow and monitor for a while to see if I can grasp the itinerary of the two. If it doesn't work, then think of other ways." Chen Miao said.

"What are the recent moves in the radio detection department of No. 76?"

"Although I have been paying attention to this aspect, Lin Shiqun doesn't seem to let me touch this part. The electronic detection and deciphering department is a Belarusian woman named Jin Nina. This woman has something to do with Ying Zuo and has a certain voice in No. 76. Jin Kang, director of the Electrical Affairs Office, was originally the backbone of the Military Control Commission's telecommunications department. After falling into the water, he became the pioneer of the 76th combating the lurking radio station in the East China region of the Military Control Commission, and Yu Jie, deputy director..." Chen Miao explained while analyzing.

The headquarters of the No. 76 Special Service Agency is located in Shanghai, but the Telecommunications Office is located in Nanjing. There is only one branch in Shanghai. Chen Miao has never seen Director Jin several times.

"Recently, some suspicious people have appeared near our secret radio station, but the mixed personnel in that area may not be targeted at us." Lao Fan said.

"Do you need to change a place?"

"I'll deal with this matter, so don't worry, as long as it's not targeting us." Lao Fan said.

"Whatever I need to do, just look for Xiaoqi. If he can't do it, he will naturally tell me." Chen Miao reminded.

"Sir, you want mutton soup."

"Old Fan, try it. This winter, I'll give you a bowl of mutton soup. It's a delicious food on earth." Chen Miao reached out to serve Lao Fan a bowl of mutton soup.

"Thank you." Lao Fan picked up the bowl and started drinking. His eating look was exactly the same as Liba outside.

"Don't worry, there's a big pot..."

"I'm different from you. I'm tired of eating big fish and meat every day. I'm very tired of tofu and vegetables every day. I finally had a chance to have a tooth sacrifice. If I don't have a good meal, I'm sorry for self-sufficiency." Lao Fan chewed his mouth full of oil.

Seeing him like this, Chen Miao could only smile bitterly: "Or, I'm asking the boss to make one and let you pack it back?"

"Don't, if someone sees this, where will I put my face?"

"I took over the 'a gust of wind'. Although this person is a bandit, he still has a bottom line. I plan to change his identity and then act as a bodyguard for Liang Xueqin." Chen Miao said.

"Is this necessary?"

"I am now on the blacklist within the Military Control Commission, and the Shanghai District wants to get rid of it even more quickly. The Military Control Commission does nothing wrong with his wife and children. In No. 76, Lin Shiqun doesn't want me to get along with everyone. The more isolated I am, the more I rely on him, the easier it is to be controlled. So, in case of precautions, I must prepare for the future." Chen Miao said.

"Aren't you afraid that Lin Shiqun will doubt you?"

"He doubted me. I found a few bodyguards for my wife. What's wrong with this? His wife Ye Yuru went out. Aren't there seven or eight bodyguards following him?" Chen Miao said, "Liang Xueqin was kidnapped once, and it was done by her own people. If I did this, what reason does he have to doubt?"

"But is this 'gust of wind' the right person?"

"I don't need to hide this from him. Even if he knows, he won't say anything." Chen Miao said confidently.

"You have to grasp this yourself. By the way, Comrade Lan Liying's funeral has basically been settled. In the end, the cotton coats, quilts and other materials she raised for the troops were also transported to our base through secret channels." Lao Fan said.

"Where is Comrade Lan Liying buried?"

“In the western suburbs…”

"I understand. If you have the chance next year, I will definitely go to visit her tomb." Chen Miao said sadly.

"Sanshui, since we have decided to fight for the cause of communism for life, we are ready to sacrifice at any time. Although Comrade Lan Liying sacrificed, her indomitable fighting spirit will inspire us to move forward, defeat the Japanese invaders, and build a brand new China!" Lao Fan suppressed this emotion and said excitedly.

"I understand, Lao Fan, don't worry, I have never changed this original intention." Chen Miao picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one go.

...

"Brother Third, didn't you say you won't come back tonight?"

When Qiao'er opened the door, Liang Xueqin welcomed Chen Miao in in surprise.

"My friend and I drank some wine outside. If anyone asks, you can say I'll have a meal with you at home tonight." Chen Miao explained with a smile.

Liang Xueqin nodded.

"Qiao'er, go and cook a bowl of sobering soup for my third brother?"

"No need, Qiaoer, I'll sit for a while and leave. Besides, I haven't drunk much." Chen Miao hurriedly shook his hand to stop him, "I'll just come over and see you."

"It's cold and cold. It's too dangerous for you to go back alone. Why not stay here for one night?" Liang Xueqin said.

"Isn't that good? We haven't officially gotten married yet?"
