Ming mansion.
Bang.
A bottle of champagne was opened. Minglou was very happy today. He had not been so happy for a long time because his younger brother successfully graduated from that hellish place and was about to return to Shanghai to be with him.
The fragrant wine was poured into the goblet, and Minglou walked towards Mingcheng with a smile on his lips.
Mingcheng is painting, painting in the dark night. It can be seen that his mood is as good as that of Minglou, and he expresses joy in his own way.
Under Mingcheng's brush, the oil painting on the drawing board was perfected bit by bit, and what he painted was a unique pastoral scenery.
The servant Axiang beside her was looking attentively, with a hint of admiration in her eyes, and thought the painting was beautiful.
Minglou held the wine glass and walked leisurely to Mingcheng's side, sipping the wine and looking at Mingcheng's paintings.
My home has not been so comfortable, comfortable and relaxing for a long time.
"Why do you think of painting again?" Minglou looked at Mingcheng's paintings and asked with a smile.
"What about you, why do you think of drinking again?" Mingcheng asked in confusion.
But both of them answered each other's questions, and the corners of their mouths raised in unison, revealing their good mood.
"The painting is done, where do you plan to hang it?"
“How about hanging in the living room?”
"The living room, your painting is a bit too small."
Seeing that his painting was disliked, Mingcheng glanced at his eldest brother Minglou and said, "It's so exquisite!"
"Well, the tone and light are pretty good, but the spatial level is a bit weak." Ming Lou said with a fair appreciation.
"I just want to weaken the space and highlight the colors." Mingcheng's family members quarreled.
"Not modest." Minglou smiled and took a sip of wine.
"What's the name of this painting?"
"It's just a landscape painting, what name do you want.
untitled. "
It was originally written out of interest and expressed the joy in my heart.
"untitled?"
Minglou looks at the stream, the lush woods, the beautiful scenery like the breeze, the not luxurious but warm country house.
He felt something in his heart and said, "I think it's called home."
"home?"
Mingcheng glanced at Minglou.
"Young Master, whose home is like this?"
The most ignorant person in the family, Axiang, was a simple person. She saw that there were big trees, streams, small bridges, and wooden houses in the oil paintings, but they were deserted. She felt a little too quiet. She still likes to be lively.
“I think my future home should be like this.
Next to the lake, next to the woods. "
In addition to being cautious when doing espionage work behind enemy lines, he was still cautious. His heart was always tight. Minglou yearned for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and enjoyed the leisurely and simple life.
"Then you, I'm afraid you will live alone. The eldest lady and young master will definitely not go." Axiang said with a slight smile.
"It's better if you don't come, I live alone in peace.
Look how quiet I am these days. "
Ever since Minglou became an official of the new government, his eldest sister Mingjing has disliked him everywhere. Minglou cannot elaborate because of his identity. During this time, Mingjing was busy with company business and was not at home. Minglou rarely had peace and quiet.
Speaking of home, Minglou asked about his eldest sister Mingjing.
"Sister, are you coming back soon in the past two days?"
"Eldest sister said to go to Suzhou first and come back in two days." Mingcheng replied while drawing.
Minglou smiled and nodded, as if he was relieved, and said jokingly, "Then I can still be quiet for two more days."
Hearing this, Axiang Mingcheng smiled in unison.
At this moment, Ming Mansion is full of relaxation and comfort.
………
Shanghai a few days later.
Time: 10.23.
In the French Concession, a passing tram stopped and several people got off the car, including Qian Wen and Yu Manli.
The two of them were holding suitcases in their hands, standing on the roadside, looking around Shanghai in 1939.
"Is this Shanghai?"
Yu Manli has never been to Shanghai, and she only knows about it from the intelligence class.
"Well, Shanghai." Qian Wen was also familiar with this place. It was very familiar yet strange, as if there was a thin veil between him, waiting to be pierced and understood.
"Want to go home and have a look?" Of course Yu Manli knew that Qian Wen's family was in Shanghai.
Qian Wen shook his head, "Don't worry, I will always go back, but not now."
Qian and Wen looked for directions and walked towards the liaison station of their action team.
Guo Qiyun arrived in Shanghai ahead of them, arranging everything and waiting for their arrival.
Shanghai, after its fall in 1937, was simply divided into several parts: the Japanese-occupied area, the public concession, and the French concession.
The special status of the concession also made it a stage for military unification to show off its capabilities in the anti-Japanese war.
After the fall of Shanghai, countless military commanders lurked in Shanghai's public concessions, French concessions, and other vast areas, launching frequent attacks against Japanese invaders and traitors and developing espionage work.
The liaison station of Qian Wen and his action team is in the French Concession.
Photo studio.
Qian Wen and Yu Manli found this place, a photo studio, based on the information they learned before arriving.
There is a welcome sign outside the door.
After briefly observing the surroundings, Qian and Wen pushed the door open with a creak and entered.
There was a wind chime hanging at the door, and as they entered, a light voice sounded. Qian Wen looked up and followed Yu Manli to the photo studio.
The photo studio is not small, and the decoration is in a Western style. All the photo frames that come into view are hung or placed, and they are all photos of various people.
There was no one on the first floor, maybe Guo Qiyun ran down from the second floor soon, with a welcoming smile on his face, "Welcome light..."
Seeing it was Qian Wen and Yu Manli, Guo Qiyun was startled, then put on a brighter smile and walked down the stairs to greet them.
I looked at the door and saw that there was no one else in the photo studio, so I called, "Team leader, Manli."
Qian Wen didn't say anything, put the suitcase in his hand into Guo Qiyun's arms, and then walked upstairs to the second floor.
Guo Qiyun looked at Yu Manli, who was coming with him, and asked, "What's going on? Why is the team leader so expressionless?"
Yu Manli, who was on her own, spread her hands to express that she didn't know either, and then followed suit and handed the small suitcase she brought to Guo Qiyun.
Guo Qiyun was stunned. What did he think of him?
In the military academy, at least he was also the direct instructor of these two people. Do they really treat him as a servant?
But thinking so, Guo Qiyun acted very honestly and took over Yu Manli's small suitcase. He had already accepted the fact of becoming Qian Wen's subordinate.
Qian Wen is the leader of Team A of the Intelligence Section Action Group, and Guo Qiyun is the adjutant who assists Qian Wen.
A small official can crush an individual to death, let alone a military commander with strict military discipline.
Moreover, the relationship between him and the young master was not harmonious to begin with. He actually didn't want to take on this task, but the director named him, so he had no choice but to do as he pleased.
Yu Manli followed her up to the second floor of the photo studio. Guo Qiyun, who was carrying his suitcase, took a deep breath. He felt that he had no good days to live. Look at the attitude of the young man.
"Director, what do you want me to do?" Although he knew what he was asked to do, Guo Qiyun was still a little unhappy. This was not like being manipulated by others.
Afraid that if he moved too slowly, the anger of letting the new official take office would burn directly on him, Guo Qiyun quickly followed up and climbed to the second floor.
This photo studio is a two-and-a-half-story house, with business on the first floor, living area on the second floor, and the attic on the top half floor.
Yu Manli has been attracted by the beautiful clothes on the second floor. These dresses, cheongsams, and various men's and women's clothes are all prepared for the guests who come to take photos.
Guo Qiyun put down his suitcase and saw that Qian Wen seemed to be getting familiar with the photo studio, so he ran to make coffee for Qian Wen. It was not shameful to show weakness. He was not that stubborn when he did something he knew he couldn't do.
After going around, Qian Wen didn't find anything that revealed his identity. He nodded with satisfaction. He didn't give him a chance to find trouble, which was very good.
"Team leader, coffee."
Guo Qiyun walked over attentively carrying the freshly brewed coffee.
Qian Wen raised his eyes and looked at Guo Qiyun. He just looked at him until he was a little confused. Then Qian Wen reached out to take the coffee and took a small sip.
"Yes, your coffee is quite good."
Guo Qiyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "As long as the team leader likes it."
"From now on, I'll call you Brother Ming, the team leader. The walls have ears." Qian Wen gently smelled the aroma of coffee and glanced at Guo Qiyun.
Guo Qiyun was stunned, gritted his molar teeth for a while, and finally managed a small voice, "Ming...Brother Ming."
Yu Manli glanced here playfully, and then continued to choose the beautiful clothes in front of her. Big Shanghai is Big Shanghai. There are so many styles of clothes, and she likes them all.
"Well, it's okay, I'm used to it." Qian Wen didn't say "Don't have enough food" to retaliate against Guo Qiyun. Although Guo Qiyun often yelled at him like this during training, when he shouted slogans .
Guo Qiyun's face turned red and blue for a while, but finally put on a humble and understanding smile.
Qian Wen casually picked up the photo album lying aside and started flipping through it. Guo Qiyun touched his forehead vaguely, and it really fell into someone's hands. He turned back and picked up a cup of coffee, just wanting to calm himself down.
"By the way, why did the teacher tell you to monitor me?"
Guo Qiyun thought that was enough, but Qian Wen's words came so unexpectedly. He was really not prepared at all. With a puff, the coffee he just drank spurted out.
"Are you sure your teacher is Wang Tianfeng? This concentration is too weak."
Qian Wen looked at Guo Qiyun who was hurriedly wiping the corner of his mouth. Is it necessary to be so surprised? He just asked more straightforwardly. From now on, we are all our own people. It would be wrong to hide it.
】
"Ahem." Guo Qiyun coughed twice and adjusted his mood.
"Group...Brother Ming, the teacher didn't tell me this.
Because we were familiar with each other in the military academy, we were assigned to a group and asked me to help handle the work. "Guo Qiyun said very sincerely.
Qian Wen put down the photo album noncommittally, "That's not true.
This is how we work together. "
Guo Qiyun was so hurt by Qian Wen that his nerves ached. What kind of trouble was this? Draw a picture, I can't even dance!
"Don't mind, I suddenly felt a little excited about being an official. I'll be fine in two days." Qian Wen smiled and patted Guo Qiyun on the shoulder, asking him to endure it a little longer.
Guo Qiyun had something he couldn't say out loud, and wanted to express the ink in his belly and the breadth and depth of Chinese culture.
Over there, Yu Manli covered her mouth and chuckled.
On the way, Qian Wen told her when she came here that when she saw Instructor Guo, she should get close to him in order to repay the kindness of the military academy.
"Lao Guo, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. You are now under my control. I hope we are of the same mind, what do you think?" Qian Wen suddenly became more friendly again.
Guo Qiyun smiled nonchalantly, "Of course, you must do your best in your humble position."
"You don't have to be so wary of me. I'm too lazy to care about things outside of the mission, and I don't want to.
I only have one rule: when an order is given, you must go all out, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. "
There are only a few Miao people in his group A, and there is also Guo Qiyun, who is not single-minded. Yu Manli is about to be sent away, so he first uses the name of the group leader to impose authority and establish group rules.
You can't let the people around you go unnoticed.
Guo Qiyun was shocked. He didn't know if there was something in this young man's words, but he felt that this young man seemed to know something.
"It's impossible, he just arrived." Guo Qiyun thought to himself.
Qian Wen clapped his hands and let out crisp applause, telling Yu Manli to stop playing around and get down to business.
Yu Manli decisively threw away her favorite beautiful clothes and walked over.
Qian Wen found a place to sit down and asked Guo Qiyun to go downstairs to suspend business and close the photo studio door. Soon Yu Manli and Guo Qiyun stood in front of him.
Keep them from standing.
As if a group of three were having a meeting, the two looked at Qian Wen, waiting for orders.
"Report on the situation of the radio station."
This was for Guo Qiyun. Guo Qiyun was about to stand up and report. Qian Wen stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down and report. I don't care about the form or process, only the results."
Guo Qiyun suddenly realized that the person sitting in front of him really wanted to be Wang Tianfeng.
"Yes." Guo Qiyun responded, sitting down with only half of his buttocks, ready to stand up at any time. He didn't know why he did this, but he did it unconsciously.
"Our action team only has one radio station, which is in a semi-dormant state. This is the French Concession, which is relatively private and safe.
Unless there is an emergency, the radio can only be used at 2 a.m.
If you want to contact us, we will do so at a fixed time..."
Guo Qiyun gave a calm report. In terms of business ability, Guo Qiyun was not bad, otherwise it would not have been possible for Wang Tianfeng to send him to look after him.
"Intelligence.
As many files as the team has, call them out for me. I want to see them.
I'm talking about everything. "
When he first came to Shanghai, he was half a headless fly. He needed to quickly integrate here, and the best way to integrate here was to read the files and understand what he needed from the files.
"It would be great if I could enter the filing room of Tongshanghai Station." Qian Wen thought to himself.
The documents and archives there are the most comprehensive. They have archives of all aspects and forces in Shanghai.
"Yes, but team leader, the file files in the team are limited. When the Venomous Bee retreated to Shanghai, many files were destroyed." Guo Qiyun explained.
"Yeah." Qian Wen nodded, something is better than nothing.
If he had a chance, he would see if he could ask his eldest brother Minglou.
Guo Qiyun looked at Qian Wen to see if he had any other instructions.
"Weapons.
Let’s report on our firepower configuration. "
Qian Wen has a severe phobia of insufficient firepower. He just wants to beat the enemy into a hornet's nest, preferably one that can plow the ground.
Guo Qiyun reported on the firepower configuration. As an action team, the military commander was very generous with weapons. Light machine guns, rifles, grenades, pistols, and enough bullets were enough for them to fight a mini-battle.
“In terms of funding.
How much money has been allocated from above..."
Qian Wen asked very detailed questions, which made Guo Qiyun look like he had seen a ghost. This was too detailed at first.
More than half an hour passed, and Qian Wen had a new and comprehensive understanding of this action group.
"Well, let's go to the opening. I won't disturb you anymore. Manli and I will go to An Dong's residence first and put down the suitcases.
Let's come back tonight and see what instructions there are. "
He has arrived in Shanghai and must report in time, otherwise he will be dealt with by military law over time.
Guo Qiyun stood up, hurriedly handed Qian Wen the key to his residence, and took the initiative to pick up his suitcase to send Qian Wen and Qian Wen off. At the same time, he felt relieved that it was all over.
"Give it to me, you are the owner of the photo studio." Qian Wen took his and Manli's suitcases.
The photo studio is a contact point, and the radio station is also broadcast here. What is important is confidentiality. Although the photo studio is very spacious, he and Yu Manli cannot live here because they will easily attract attention.
Guo Qiyun's disguised identity is that of the owner of the photo studio. Qian Wen and Yu Manli have no contact with him.
Guo Qiyun arrived at the first floor of the photo studio. The main door was just two steps away. Qian Wen suddenly stopped and turned to look at Guo Qiyun.
"Group...Brother Ming, is there anything else?" Guo Qiyun asked strangely.
Qian Wen said jokingly, "It seems I don't have to assign a hostess to you."
Before Guo Qiyun could answer, Qian Wen reached out and flicked the inside of his collar, where there was an inconspicuous lipstick mark.
Guo Qiyun was stunned. Qian Wen and Yu Manli opened the door and left.
He left a message, "Lao Guo, what are you kidding me about? See you tonight."
Guo Qiyun is older than him. He was Wang Tianfeng's adjutant before and will be his teammate in the future. There is no harm in joking, but if there is a gap and some water is released in the mission, who will Qian Wen cry to?
The residence of Qian Wen and Yu Manli was arranged by the military commander in a small courtyard in an alley two streets away.
Qian Wen didn't care about where he lived. Anyway, it was just a temporary place to settle down. He had more important things to talk to Yu Manli now.
"Manli, don't wipe it off yet. I have something to tell you." Qian Wen stopped Yu Manli who was preparing for general cleaning.
Yu Manli came over and sat down in confusion. She didn't know what Qian Wen was going to say to her, but seeing Qian Wen's serious look on his face, she also became serious.
"Do you still remember what I told you about suspended animation?" Qian Wen asked.
Yu Manli was stunned for a moment, then remembered the incident in Chongqing when she escaped, but she didn't understand why she suddenly said this.
Yu Manli blinked, "Remember."
"When the time comes, you must be mentally prepared in advance. This is enemy-occupied territory, and accidents can happen at any time, especially for us agents.
This place is far away from Wang Tianfeng, and we have just graduated. It is the best time for Jin Chan to escape from his shell and fake his death.
As freshmen, we are likely to make any mistakes. As long as the design is good, Wang Tianfeng will not notice anything. "
The smashing plan is about to begin, and the implementation of the smashing plan requires a large amount of explosives. In the play, Mingtai and Yu Manli first arrived in Shanghai. After receiving the task arranged by the above to smash the plan, they were arranged to go to a secret contact point to collect the used explosives. Explosives, but was ambushed by agents from No. 76.
This is an excellent opportunity. The mistake this time was an intelligence error. As long as it is used well, Yu Manli can escape smoothly.
"I...I won't leave." Yu Manli hesitated.
"Ah? Don't worry, I won't let you take risks.
Moreover, I just want you to be mentally prepared. The opportunity is fleeting, so I just want to tell you in advance so that you don’t get confused when the time comes. "Qian Wen explained simply.
Yu Manli shook her head, looked into Qian Wen's eyes, and said seriously, "I don't want to leave."
Looking at Yu Manli's eyes, Qian Wen would be stupid if he didn't understand why.
But Yu Manli had to leave, not only because of the death plan, but also because he also needed Yu Manli's help in his plan.
Qian Wen suddenly reached out and touched Yu Manli's face. Yu Manli did not hide. Qian Wen gently stroked Yu Manli's beautiful cheek and said softly, "What if I need you to go?"
"Huh?" Yu Manli didn't understand even more.
