Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 1735: A master's move!

Xu Baichuan thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the sixth man has gone to guard the city gate."

At this time, Dragon Boat Festival's nose was almost out of breath and crooked.Zheng Yao went to guard the city gate first. Should he guard the city gate?
Duanwu asked: "Who asked him to guard the city gate?"

Xu Baichuan said: "It seems to be him. At that time, Boss Dai assigned the task. He said that the situation at the city gate was complicated and the Japanese spies were very likely to take advantage of the chaos to escape, so he asked for orders to guard the city gate."

Duanwu nodded and said: "As expected of Guiziliu."

After entering the main gate, Duanwu looked around and saw that this mansion really occupies a very large area. After entering the main gate, there is a wide courtyard.

In the center of the courtyard is a large garden filled with a variety of flowers and trees. Although many flowers have withered in winter, some flowers that are not afraid of the cold are still blooming.

In the middle of the garden is a road leading to the main building of Zhang Mansion.

The main building is a Chinese-style Western-style building, which is a combination of East and West and was very popular at the time.

When you walk into the western-style building, the first thing you see is a tall mahogany screen with exquisite dragon patterns carved on it.

Behind the screen, two rows of mahogany seats were neatly placed.

In the middle is the host's seat. At this time, a gray-haired old man is leaning on a cane and listening to a report from a bodyguard in black, who was just at the door.

Duanwu looked at the other party, but saw that Mr. Zhang Ming was actually very tall. Although he was old, he still straightened his back and looked very energetic.

His face has clear lines, and his skin has become dark and rough after years of baptism.A pair of deep eyes reveal the light of wisdom, as if they can penetrate people's hearts.

He had his hair neatly combed back, giving people a neat and neat look.His beard was carefully trimmed and looked very stylish.

Wearing a brown embroidered silk mandarin jacket and a pair of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles.

Both hands are on crutches, and on the thumb of the right hand that is leaning on the crutches, there is an emerald jade ring.

This jade wrench looks to be old. Not only is it heavily patinated, but there are still traces of use.

In other words, this ring is not just a decoration in Zhang Ming's hands. It is very likely that Zhang Ming is still practicing martial arts and archery.

When Duanwu saw that Zhang Ming had not spoken, he laughed, and Zhang Ming naturally saw Duanwu at this time.

Zhang Ming also laughed dryly.

Neither of them spoke at this time, but the laughter and the expressions of the two people were already at odds.

One is that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and the other is that an old man has grown stronger and his ambition has not diminished.

Duanwu took the lead and said with a smile, "Hahaha, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Ming also cupped his fists and said, "Hahaha, Mr. Duanwu!" Duanwu said again: "I've heard about Mr. Zhang's name for a long time. When I meet him today, it's better to be famous than to meet him. Mr. Zhang is getting stronger with age, but his sword is not old."

Zhang Ming waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, now you young people rule the world."

Duanwu said: "Where, where, we are still very immature in front of you, old man. We still need to rely on Mr. Zhang a lot!"

Zhang Ming waved his hand again and said: "I'm ashamed to say that I'm old. I don't care about political affairs. I just want to live my life quietly, drink tea and chat with a few old guys."

Duanwu said: "The shadow of a famous tree. If Mr. Zhang no longer cares about political affairs, he is also a veteran of the party and the country. He can't embarrass the younger generations, right?"

Zhang Ming frowned slightly, because he had already made his attitude clear to Duanwu before.I don't care about political affairs, I just want to live in peace and quiet.And what is quiet is that you stop searching.And he warned Duanwu that even if I am really old, I still have prestige within the party. If you casually search my residence, how will I gain a foothold within the party in the future?

But Duan Wu also understood what he said. We must search today, otherwise you, the veteran of the party and state, should give way.

Zhang Ming was obviously unhappy, but he didn't want to offend Duanwu head-on. After all, Duanwu's identity was there.

To put it bluntly, he does have prestige within the party, and even the chairman of the committee will not touch him easily.

But then again, can Zhang Ming compare with the Chairman within the party?It's a matter of giving each other face.

Therefore, it is very unwise to go against the Dragon Boat Festival.

He is not an old fool, how could he do such a stupid thing?
But it was impossible for Duanwu to search his mansion so easily.After all, he was a veteran of the Tongmenghui period.

So Zhang Ming asked Duanwu to sit down and said: "My dear, I also want to provide some conveniences to you younger generations and give you a helping hand. But you said that I, an old guy who has devoted his whole life to the revolution, was suddenly seized by the military. Family, what will people outside think? Could it be that I, Zhang, have colluded with the Japanese? Or does the committee have objections to me?
Now that I have a name in the parliament, I won’t be able to interfere with anything else.Can't you just let me, a dying old guy, live out the rest of my life in peace? "

Duanwu smiled and said: "The old man is serious, who dares to raid your home? It's like this, there are spies in this mountain city, and they are lurking deep.

Of course, I don't say that he will definitely be in your house.Because your old family must be very strict.How could there be such a traitorous Xiao Xiao?
But what if?There are so many servants in your house, and there are more than fifty bodyguards, plus the servants who clean the yard and the maids who serve your husband and wife.

The total number of outsiders is more than 100, right?Who can guarantee that none of these people have a bad conscience?
What if they have evil thoughts about you?This little devil is capable of doing anything if he is forced to do anything.

What's more, you are the elder of our party and state.

Think about it, why did you throw your life and blood into the revolution?
Isn’t it just to rid China of foreign aggression and oppression and let the people live a free and happy life? "

Zhang Ming frowned, and his brows tightened even more.He had to admit that the Dragon Boat Festival in front of him was indeed just like Secretary-General Yang said, a monkey cub.

This little monkey is smarter than any other monkey.

Just let Duanwu turn his mansion inside out, where can he put his old face?Moreover, he still has many secrets that cannot be known to outsiders. What if the Dragon Boat Festival uncovers them?

Do you want to kill people and silence them?That's a joke.The military commanders and the presidential palace guards are all here. Did he kill everyone?
So thinking of this, Zhang Ming wanted to say a few more perfunctory words.I just didn’t expect that at this moment, the Zhang family’s bodyguard suddenly ran in panting and reported: “I’m reporting to the master, the whereabouts of the young master have been found. I heard that he was invited to dinner by the director of the Economic Development Office, and I don’t know where he went. Where is it!"
