"I may have to be transferred to Guannai soon. I'm afraid I won't be able to take more care of you..." Suzuki Takeo turned the wine glass in his hand and said slowly.
"When?" Zhou Sen was not surprised. A senior officer like Suzuki Takeo couldn't stay in one position for a long time. It was normal to move around.
"Probably in the first half of the year, I don't know the exact time yet. Someone at the Dispatch Army Headquarters wants to transfer me there."
"Where's Miss Keiko?"
"She..." A trace of confusion flashed in Suzuki Takeo's eyes. This was probably something he had trouble making.
"No one dares to touch her while you are here. Once you leave, I'm afraid she will have a hard time as a woman." Zhou Sen said.
The status of Japanese women is very low. If there is no one to rely on, it is really difficult to live alone in a foreign country.
"It's too dangerous inside the pass. Besides, she has no right to follow me." Suzuki Yixiong said in a low voice, "I am engaged in such a dangerous job again. What if one day..."
"If you think about it on the bright side, it is possible that you will never get married. Wouldn't you become a maverick and attract attention from others?" Zhou Sen said.
"Forget it, let her stay in Ice City. At least it's safe here and you can take care of her for me."
"In what name am I?"
Suzuki Takeo was speechless.
"Actually, it's good for you to have Huizi with you and someone to take care of you." Zhou Sen said, "In our line of work, we have to forget about love and love, and sometimes we need spiritual comfort."
"Don't try to persuade me. Even if I want to leave, it will still be several months away." Suzuki Takeo said.
"Well, think about it slowly."
"Once I leave, it will be difficult for you to obtain channel information from Tokyo, but once you enter the core layer of Shibuya Saburo, you can also obtain corresponding information." Suzuki Takeo said.
"It's still difficult for me to enter the core layer now, after all, my identity is there." Zhou Sen said.
"Yeah, that's true."
While talking, Huizi knocked on the door and brought in the freshly prepared dishes to go with the wine.
…
Ning Tong Hotel.
In a room on the second floor, the person who lived was Ai Qingshan, who had entered the Ice City in disguise. He had always been calm and witty, but now he was actually a little nervous. His fingers kept grabbing and his palms were sweating.
As the seventh among the Thirteen Flying Eagles, he was an anti-Japanese hero who was offered a bounty of five thousand oceans by the Japanese puppets. He had never seen anything like this before.
But next, the person he wants to see is the most important person in his life. He has not seen him for many years, and he misses her day and night.
I can only hear some news occasionally. If Chang Bo hadn't sent someone to contact Thirteen Flying Eagles, the person contacting him would have been an old brother from the past.
He also didn't expect that the person who secretly helped the Thirteen Flying Eagles fight against Japan was actually the person he thought about day and night.
Of course, he didn't tell anyone this secret, but just kept it in his heart. After all, it was related to Bai Yulan's safety. The more people knew about it, the easier it would be for Bai Yulan to be exposed, and the greater the danger.
He also took a big risk when he came to see Bai Yulan.
After all, he is a wanted criminal by the Japanese puppets. Once his whereabouts are revealed, he will be in huge danger, and he cannot bring too many brothers into the city.
It's easier to be exposed that way.
He came alone, so he went to Chang Bo directly and explained his purpose. Chang Bo did not expect that Ai Qingshan actually guessed that "Mr. Ming" was related to the lady.
They originally contacted old brothers from the past. This was the only flaw, but in the end, the thoughtful Ai Qingshan noticed it.
Bai Yulan is very clear about Ai Qingshan's character. He is very stubborn, accepts death, and will not change things easily.
If she refuses to see him, she might cause some trouble, which will be even more difficult to deal with.
As night fell, an ordinary carriage stopped at the door of the hotel. The driver was Chang Bo. He was dressed in a handlebar style, holding a riding whip and wearing a sheepskin felt hat.
After restraining the horse and stopping it.
The carriage door opened, and a figure got out of the carriage.
Uncle Chang immediately went over to help her: "Miss, you are pregnant, so be careful."
"Don't worry, Uncle Chang, you know where to go." Bai Yulan, who was disguised as a man, nodded, but still got off the carriage with the help of Uncle Chang's arm.
"Where is he?"
"The appointment in Room 303 on the second floor is for 5:30. My uncle just doesn't go home for dinner today. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain." Chang Bo said.
"Well, I understand. Just wait for me at the door and don't go up." Bai Yulan ordered.
"How can that be done? You two had a quarrel and then parted ways. You are pregnant now. If you get into an argument and cause trouble, my uncle's temper will really kill people." Chang Bo said.
"Is he that powerful?"
"My uncle is by no means an ordinary person. The reason why he behaves gently is because of his size and his love for young ladies." Chang Bo said.
"How little do you know about him, how dare you say that?" Bai Yulan was surprised.
"My uncle's cruelty is not in appearance, but in his heart."
"Okay, after all, he is my senior brother and won't do anything to me." Bai Yulan said. When the trouble happened back then, Ai Qingshan just took people away and did not hurt her. She believes that if he comes back, he will still be there. Won't hurt her.
"Okay, I'll be outside. If you haven't come out for more than half an hour, I'll go find you." Chang Bo nodded.
Bai Yulan walked into Ningtong Hotel alone. After explaining to the front desk that she was looking for someone, she registered a name and went up to the second floor.
There was a knock on the door.
Ai Qingshan in the room opened his eyes suddenly, someone was coming.
After standing up, Ai Qingshan walked quickly and came to the door. He paused for a moment before reaching out and opening the door.
That familiar face that haunted him appeared before his eyes, and Ai Qingshan's breathing became rapid.
"Xiaolan, you're here."
"Senior Brother Qingshan, long time no see." Bai Yulan didn't appear too excited, but this was someone who had grown up together, so there was definitely some affection, but it was not between a man and a woman.
"Quick, please come in and sit down." Ai Qingshan welcomed Bai Yulan in, asked her to sit down, and then poured a glass of hot water and handed it over.
"Xiaolan, drink water."
"Thank you, Brother Qingshan." Bai Yulan took the water cup and placed it on the coffee table. This obvious sense of distance made Ai Qingshan feel like he could never go back to the past.
"Xiao Lan, I heard that you got married again?" Ai Qingshan also sat down and looked at Bai Yulan with burning eyes.
"Well, it happened last year." Bai Yulan nodded. There was no need to hide it. As long as you wanted to know, it was too easy.
"I heard that the other person is younger than you and is still a policeman?" Ai Qingshan continued.
"Yes, actually he is two years younger than me."
"How did you two meet?"
"I was being plotted against, and he helped me out." Bai Yulan didn't seem to explain too much about her relationship with Zhou Sen.
Ai Qingshan felt like a needle pricked his heart. If he had not left and stayed by Bai Yulan's side, would he be the one who contributed?
But now, it's useless to say anything.
"Is he nice to you?" Ai Qingshan asked.
"He is very good and treats me well." Bai Yulan said with certainty.
This answer was too casual, and the tenderness that flashed through Bai Yulan's eyes made Ai Qingshan feel a little sad. He was afraid that he would never have a chance again.
"Xiao Lan, when you married Lao Ma, firstly, you admired Lao Ma as a person. You would rather die than bow to the Japanese invaders. You thought he was a hero. Secondly, you wanted to give us brothers a place to stay. Now Lao Ma He has passed away and you have found a new home. Indeed, I should not disturb your life anymore. However, senior brother always feels a little guilty for you. There are not many brothers left with me back then. Most of them They all died in the battle with the Japanese. I'm afraid that one day I will be gone and I won't have the chance to say 'I'm sorry' to you." As he said that, Ai Qingshan's eyes turned red. The current situation of the anti-Japanese armed forces in North Manchuria It is quite difficult. Soldiers, ammunition, and food and grass are all consumed as much as possible. There is no supplement, and the range of activities is also limited.
When Bai Yulan heard this, her emotions couldn't help but be affected. Although Ai Qingshan was an art teacher, he had studied with his father for three years. Because he was older, she always called him senior brother. After his father passed away, he also followed her. We worked together for four or five years.
After getting along for such a long time, how could she not have any feelings at all? However, she didn't have that kind of admiration for Ai Qingshan, so naturally she couldn't talk about love between a man and a woman.
In fact, she has more respect for Lao Ma, and not much love between men and women. However, in order to carry the banner of the Bai family, she sometimes has to make choices.
Of course, she still upholds the ancestral motto of the Bai family to be loyal to the emperor and love the country. The emperor is gone long ago, but the country is still there.
Therefore, she, Bai Yulan, would never be able to be a submissive citizen and a slave to the Japanese.
"Senior Brother Qingshan, let the past go. I am living a good life now. I also know that some of the brothers you left behind are in a difficult situation. I know that you are unwilling to accept my support, so I asked Chang Bo to secretly use Mr. Ming's "Please provide some help in the name of "Senior Brother, please keep this secret, otherwise, I will be in trouble." Bai Yulan said.
"Don't worry, Xiaolan. Senior brother knows this very well and will never mention a word to anyone. You used a pseudonym to contact us and provide help. For this, we at Thirteen Flying Eagles are very grateful. It's just your How did you get the information? This makes senior brother confused?" Ai Qingshan asked.
"Senior brother, please forgive me, but I can't tell you the source of the information. Otherwise, I will never have the chance to obtain relevant information in the future." Bai Yulan nodded slightly.
"It's senior brother Meng Lang. I'm sorry, I won't ask anymore. As long as Xiao Lan doesn't forget his original intention and violates his master's instructions, it will be fine." Ai Qingshan said.
"Yu Lan dare not forget father's legacy." Bai Yulan said solemnly.
"You said Master would be so happy if he could see you like this." Ai Qingshan suddenly said in memory.
"Senior brother, I have to go back." Bai Yulan stood up and said.
"Why don't you sit down for a while? I still have a lot to say to you..." Ai Qingshan stood up together eagerly.
"Senior brother, you have already seen it, why bother to insist on it?" Bai Yulan said.
