Chapter 1571 Why Are You So Happy?
Dai Nong said angrily, "Then why are you two here? If you have nothing to do, leave now."
Xu Zeng said with a smile: "I came here to tell you the news. You look surprised."
Dai Nong said angrily, "Then tell me! There are three roads from Chongqing to Chengdu: Dongda Road, Dongxiao Road, and Chengyu Highway. Which one did Chu Xi and Mr. Wu take?"
Xu Zeng said with a smile: "No comment!"
Dainong was so angry that he almost slammed the table, but he forced himself to hold it back.
Chen Guo said sternly, "Dainong! I can get your Military Control Commission to join this operation as well."
Dai Nong waved his hand and said, "We, the Military Control Commission, are not interested! Go and kill Lord Chu and see if Kong Ling and Song Xi will let you two go. You invited me to join because you want me to take responsibility."
Chen Guo and Xu Zeng looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that Dainong had seen through their little tricks.
"That's unreasonable! Go away."
Chen Guo said angrily and left with Xu Zeng.
Li Li walked out of the inner room and said shyly, "Officer! We're so embarrassed to be seen by these two people."
Dai Nong said disapprovingly, "I have evidence against them. So what if they saw me? Call Zheng Jie and tell them to stop pursuing Mr. Wu and Mr. Chu and just keep a close eye on the Central Bureau of Investigation."
"Yes!"
Li Li hurriedly accepted the order and turned to walk into the inner room.
Dai Nong muttered to himself, "Brother Xiang! It seems you can't escape this time. Even if you don't die, Mr. Wu's death will be blamed on you. You have to die."
From Chongqing to Chengdu, there are two ancient Chengdu-Chongqing post roads in the north and south.
The north road is East Small Road and the south road is East Big Road.
The East Path is rugged and difficult to travel, the road is long, and it has been in disrepair for many years, so it is little known.
Xiang Chu and Mr. Wu abandoned the Chengdu-Chongqing Highway and East Road and chose East Road. Finally, they took a detour and arrived at Anren Town.
There are many manors and Western-style buildings in Anren Town.
There is a small train track in the town, with trains running through it, making transportation convenient.
There are banks, post offices, shops, theaters, pawn shops, etc.
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle! I didn't expect this town to be so fashionable."
Mr. Wu nodded and said, "This place has benefited from the rise of Sichuan warlords such as Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui. It also has convenient transportation and abundant resources. Since the Republic of China, it has achieved rapid development."
Xiang Chu saw the Lao Liu family Dandan noodle shop on the street and said with a smile:
"Uncle! I'll treat you to some Dandan noodles."
Mr. Wu nodded and said, "Okay! But let's eat. These two horses are hungry and thirsty."
Xiang Chu pointed to the Tuhai River not far away and said, "Let's go to the river and graze the horses first."
"Okay! Let's split up and I'll go first."
Mr. Wu nodded and took the lead in riding his horse towards the Tuhai River.
"He's still as handsome and majestic as ever!"
Xiang Chu smiled, rode forward, and looked back casually.
Xiang Xiu from the Central Bureau of Investigation was walking out of Lao Liu's Dandan Noodle Restaurant with a group of young people in Zhongshan suits.
Needless to say, these young people were all Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics spies.
Xiang Chu was shocked. If it weren't for Mr. Wu's kindness and concern for the horse's lack of food and water, the two men would probably have walked into the noodle shop. The consequences can be imagined.
The Central Bureau of Investigation agents squinted their eyes as they walked from darkness to sunlight.
Xiang Chu hurriedly dismounted and bought a backpack at a shop on the street.
Then he bought some beef jerky, sesame cakes, camphor tea duck and glutinous rice wine and put them all in his backpack.
A vendor asked with a smile: "Sir! I have a fine mirror here. Buy one for your wife."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Okay! Let me take a look."
He picked up an exquisite mirror and reflected the sunlight onto Xiang Xiu's face, smiling.
"Excellent! I'll take it."
Xiang Xiu followed the sunlight and was shocked when he recognized Xiang Chu.
Xiang Chu had put away the mirror and led his horse towards a quiet alley nearby.
Xiang Xiu pretended to be wandering around the street as if nothing had happened and followed him into the alley.
Seeing that Xiang Chu was the only one nearby, he said anxiously:
"Lord Chu! You've been discovered. Abandon your horse and walk downstream along the Tuhai River. Zhang Fei and the others will meet you on the highway."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the alley without waiting for Xiang Chu's response.
Xiang Chu tied his horse at the door of a poor family and then walked out of the alley.
He drank glutinous rice wine all the way and walked slowly to the river.
Mr. Wu was herding horses. Seeing him coming, he smiled and asked:
"Chu boy! It's been taking so long, does something seem to be wrong?"
Xiang Chu handed him a bag of beef jerky and a bottle of low-alcohol glutinous rice wine, and said with a wry smile:
"Uncle! Just now, a group of Central Bureau of Investigation agents came out of Lao Liu's Dandan Noodle House. Luckily, we didn't go in, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable. I bought some food, enough for us to get to Chengdu."
Mr. Wu took the beef jerky and glutinous rice wine and asked doubtfully, "If we disguise ourselves like this and take a detour to Anren, the spies won't be able to recognize us, right?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Military and Central Intelligence agents are spread across all the major transportation routes. They've already discovered us. Let's go! Follow the Tuhai River. Someone will pick us up."
Mr. Wu asked doubtfully, "You don't want this horse anymore?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "I can't take it! My insider in the Central Bureau of Investigation just told me that anyone leading a horse will be strictly inspected at the checkpoint."
Mr. Wu nodded and said, "In that case, let's go!"
The two men walked along the Tuhai River towards the southeast.
"Tatt! Tatt!"
The sound of horse hooves was so rapid that the earth shook.
Dozens of plainclothes officers rushed into Anren Town on horseback.
The leader was Zheng Jie, who shouted loudly:
"Quick! Check all riders."
The head of the Central Bureau of Investigation stepped forward and said angrily:
"Assistant Zheng! We're arresting a big Red Party figure, why are you getting involved?"
Zheng Jie dismounted and said in a cold voice, "Zheng Xia! Each of you should arrest your own people and not disturb each other."
Zheng Xia shook his head and said, "No! We finally tracked him down, how can we give him up?"
In order to make Xiang Chu go further, Xiang Xiu deliberately provoked Zheng Jie:
"Assistant Zheng! To put it bluntly, you're getting something for nothing."
Zheng Jie pulled out his gun and pointed it at Xiang Xiu's head, roaring:
"Who are you to speak to me like that?"
Ye Ying hurriedly persuaded, "Assistant! He is Xiang Ying's younger brother Xiang Xiu, so he is one of us."
Zheng Jie quickly put down his gun and said with a smile: "It turns out to be my brother-in-law. Sorry!"
Xiang Xiu said angrily, "Assistant Zheng! Stop trying to get close to me. My sister hasn't agreed to marry you, and Mao Feng has been pursuing my sister."
Zheng Jie said arrogantly, "How can Mao Feng be as handsome and promising as me? Your sister will be mine sooner or later."
Such a shameless person made everyone in the Central Bureau of Investigation burst into laughter.
At this time, the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics radio agent ran up to Zheng Xia and whispered to him.
Zheng Xia nodded and said with a smile, "Assistant Zheng! You guys go ahead and investigate, and we'll just cooperate."
Zheng Jie nodded with satisfaction and said bluntly, "Zheng Xia! You Central Bureau members are now under my unified command."
Zheng Xia nodded and said, "Okay! You take charge."
Zheng Jie's heart trembled, and he asked doubtfully, "No! Why are you so happy?"
Zheng Xia rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "You don't want to take command, right? Fine! I'll take charge of unified command."
Zheng Jie hurriedly said, "No! I'm the better person to take command. Everyone, listen up! Arrest all the people on horseback and investigate them one by one!"
"Yes!"
The agents present obeyed the order in unison.
