spy sea tide life

night.

Summer nights in the mountain city are completely different from those in Beijing.

If the summer nights in Peking are like pancakes cooked on an iron griddle, then the summer nights in the mountain city are like eight-treasure rice dumplings in a steamer, combining water and fire.

This dampness and heat made Yang Denghuan extremely painful. If there was an Aladdin's lamp at this moment, Yang Denghuan's first wish would definitely be to add three more wishes.

The second wish must be that the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous, every household has air conditioning, and everyone can watch romantic action movies in an air-conditioned room!
There is nothing more joyful in life than this!

Ah Qi, who was lying on the ground, was snoring evenly, and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Yang Denghuan turned his head and glanced at Ah Qi, and seemed to feel even hotter.

According to Cao Youguang's instructions after he finished eating Dandan noodles and wiped his mouth, Ah Qi and Yang Denghuan had to sleep and work in the same room.

As for why, Cao Youguang did not say, leaving it to the two to imagine.

Yang Denghuan was a man, so he naturally had to be polite and let Ah Qi sleep on the bed while he slept on the floor.

However, Ah Qi refused and insisted on sleeping on the floor. Yang Denghuan asked him several times, but Ah Qi still refused. Thinking that Ah Qi was not just being polite, Yang Denghuan had no choice but to give in.

Yang Denghuan had mixed feelings in his heart, his head was full of thoughts, he didn't know what he was thinking about, and his body was like a pancake, tossing and turning.

Ah Qi said no and lay flat on the ground, with his hands placed flat on his lower abdomen. He breathed evenly and did not even turn over. He seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Yang Denghuan tossed and turned for a long time, and finally fell into a deep sleep, snoring.

After all, we've been on the boat for several days, so it would be a lie to say we're not tired.

In the darkness, Ah Qi slowly opened his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Yang Denghuan who was facing the wall, with his legs clamped around the pillow, snoring up and down. He couldn't help but pull out a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, and closed his eyes again. After a while, the sound of faint snoring was heard again.

The white moonlight came in through the window and fell on Ah Qi's charming face, with an indescribable beauty.

It turned out that both of them forgot to draw the curtains.

at the same time.

A courtyard in a mountain city.

A dim light was placed on the greasy wooden dining table. A few long knives on the table occasionally emitted a few spots of light under the flickering candlelight.

Sitting around the table were six or seven sturdy men, their heads wrapped in blue cloth and wearing coarse cloth jackets and trousers that were greasy and dirty.

"We, the Pao brothers, will never be lazy! Since we've promised them, we have to do it to the end! There's no turning back!" said an older man in the middle, who had a goatee on his chin and was holding a copper pipe in his hand.

"No problem! We in the Chuanjiang Gang have to work in the water and make a living on the shore! In today's world, it's all about fighting! Whoever is ruthless gets to eat!" A burly man with a face full of flesh said this, hesitated for a moment and said: "But that's... that's..."

"Second rank, just say whatever you want to say! We are all brothers! How can the helmsman not listen to you?" A thin man said to the old man with the copper pipe.

The strong man Erbang stood up and said with all his courage, "Master, I'll tell you now. If I'm wrong, please don't blame me!"

"Speak now, why are you still talking so much? The helmsman is waiting for you!" the thin man said hurriedly.

The old man said nothing, smoking his copper pipe, and glanced at the thin man, who quickly sat up straight.

"Master, the money for this deal is too little! We brothers are not afraid of death, but it's only two thousand yuan. It's not worth our brothers' lives!" Erbang said with a raised voice.

When the skinny guy saw Erbang raised his head, he quickly said, "Master, what Erbang said makes sense! The money is just a little too little! I can forgive him, but I can't explain it to my brothers! Only a few dollars per person, no one is willing to do it!"

Most of the other people at the table followed the lead of Pang Xiaozui and Erbang Ma. When they heard the two of them speak, they all started complaining.

The old man remained silent. Everyone complained for a while, and the noise gradually died down. The old man then knocked his pipe hard on the ground. The sound seemed particularly harsh in the silent night, and everyone's face changed slightly.

After the old man finished knocking on his pipe, he said slowly and methodically, "Fuck you, Chuanjiang Gang, am I still the helmsman who has the final say? Don't you know what the situation is now? Without business, there will be no food. How do you expect those brothers to make a living? They'll chop off their heads! Otherwise, everyone should take a bamboo stick and go to the dock to compete with Jiao Laowu and his men for business! Let's beat them until their heads are covered in blood and see if we can get two thousand yuan!"

After hearing what the old man said, everyone seemed discouraged and kept silent, and some even sighed slightly.

"What the helmsman said does make sense! We, the Chuanjiang Gang, used to make a living on the water. We went down the river to Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi and Fujian, so we would have no shortage of food. But it's different now! The head-chopping Japanese devils have come and turned everything upside down! It's getting harder and harder to get food! There are tens of thousands of brothers in the gang, and they have no boats to escape to. Who will take care of their food?" said a middle-aged man with an honest face with a sigh.

"So, you have to make money when you can! Don't think it's too little. Maybe you can make a name for yourself in this business!" said the helmsman, waving his pipe.

"But I can't figure it out!" Another man who seemed to be the youngest among them frowned and said, "But why did these people choose us to do this business? We are called Pao brothers, but we basically make a living on the water, which can be considered a legitimate business. We are not familiar with things like killing people!"

"You'll be familiar with her after one or two times! I just think the money is too little! It doesn't matter whether we're familiar with each other or not!" said the second list member who spoke first coldly.

"Erbang is right! If you become famous after doing it once or twice, you will make more money!" said the helmsman coldly.

"The key this time is with the government..."

Before the honest middle-aged man could finish his worried words, Pang Xiaozui beside him said impatiently: "If there is no food to eat, even the emperor will do it for him! What are you afraid of the government! If you don't do it, we will do it!"

After hearing what Pang Xiaozui said, everyone stopped talking. The helmsman knocked his pipe to the ground again, waved his hand and said, "Let's do it! Erbang and the master will be responsible for finding the sticks for the fight! We need fifty people! Ten yuan per person, and casualties are not included! The rest of the money can be used to buy rice and vegetables, and divided equally among the brothers."

After listening to this, Erbang and the teacher nodded to indicate that they understood.

"Xiaozui and the youngest man will arrange a retreat, and you are responsible for hiding these people." The helmsman said to Pang Xiaozui and the youngest man.

"I know. I'll hide them away from the spotlight!" Pang Xiaozui rolled his eyes, but still nodded.

The old man sighed and said, "I have no other choice! The situation in the gang is at the end of its rope. If we don't try our best, we might break up!"

Everyone was speechless. The helmsman sighed again and waved his hand. Everyone looked at him, stood up, and had disappointed looks on their faces. They grabbed the long knives from the table and turned to leave.

at the same time.

Another small courtyard in the mountain city.

Under the dim oil lamp, a thin man sat with his back to the light, and another person was whispering something in his ear. The light flickered, making the shadows of the two people longer.

The thin man listened to the man's words calmly, nodded slightly, and asked in a low voice: "The Chuanjiang Gang doesn't know our identities, right?" "They don't know who we are!"

The thin man nodded again and waved his hand, and the man bowed and left.

The moonlight poured into the room. The thin man frowned, his right hand clenched into a fist, and his heart seemed full of hesitation.

After a long time, he sighed, slowly stood up, and walked towards the inner room. His movements were slow, like an old man.

the next day.

Jialing River.

Although it is the beginning of autumn, the four furnaces are still as hot as they say. The mountain city is scorching hot early in the morning. Although it is by the river and there is a breeze from the river, which brings occasional coolness, it still makes people feel stuffy.

Jialing Hotel is located on the bank of Jialing River, surrounded by mountains and water, with beautiful scenery and elegant environment.

This is said to be the best hotel in the mountain city, and it receives important celebrities from the government or distinguished guests from various countries.

The reception for Su Na's surrender was held at Jialing Hotel.

Cao Youguang believed that the reason for choosing this hotel was to show his appreciation for Su Na's surrender and to show his respect for her.

Yang Denghuan sat in a teahouse diagonally opposite the Jialing Hotel, looking around at the surrounding environment.

Sichuan people like to be lively and prefer to chat and joke with a few people. They call it "chatting in a dragon gate formation".

The most suitable place for chatting is the teahouse, so the teahouses in Bashu are far better than other places.

Even Peking, which has the most teahouses in the north, is far inferior to that of Bashu.

There are big and small teahouses in the mountain city. The big teahouses are like big restaurants, with all kinds of food, drinks, and entertainment. As long as you can buy it outside, you can find it in the big teahouses.

There are even more small teahouses. There is one or two small teahouses in almost every street and alley, and sometimes there may be even more.

When people in mountain cities hang out in teahouses, they don't like to sit inside the house, but prefer to sit on the roadside at the door.

Yang Denghuan had no choice but to follow the local customs and sat beside the road, looking around as if he was looking for someone to chat with.

As for contacting Chen Yansheng and arranging guards, Ah Qi had already taken over these matters responsibly. He had been busy making arrangements since early morning, but there has been no sign of him yet.

Although Ah Qi is nowhere to be seen, the people arranged by Ah Qi are already in place.

Yang Denghuan could clearly see that the dozen or so people at the entrances of several alleys must be the action team members arranged by Ah Qi.

Although they were all dressed up as porters and peddlers, and two of them even prepared a sedan chair, Yang Denghuan could still easily see their true identities.

Yang Denghuan made two more cups of tea before Ah Qi came over slowly. His face was pink from being busy and beads of sweat were evenly oozing from his forehead and temples.

"You are like a god, but I am exhausted!" Ah Qi raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, looking at Yang Denghuan with his big bright eyes.

Yang Denghuan was a little stunned, and Ah Qi said angrily: "What are you looking at! What's so good about it?"

"Look at the way you wipe your sweat..." Yang Deng said with a smile. Ah Qi blushed and lowered his head.

"Looks like a country girl!" Yang Denghuan suddenly laughed loudly, and Ah Qi was so angry that he kicked Yang Denghuan's calf hard. Yang Denghuan was prepared and raised his leg to avoid it.

"Just kidding, just kidding! How can there be such a beautiful village girl? If you are a village girl, then I am a villager. It is not enough that I am a villager." Yang Denghuan said hurriedly.

Ah Qi glared at Yang Denghuan and sat beside him.

"Has it been arranged?" Yang Deng smiled and poured a cup of tea for Ah Qi.

"The environment here is simple. On one side is the Jialing River. The river is wide and we can ignore the situation on the other side, so we only need to defend three sides." Ah Qi said.

"Well, needless to say, the Jialing Hotel. Old Chen must have made it as strong as an iron wall. In fact, the main defenses are still the alleys on both sides of the hotel. Looking at the surrounding environment, only there are places where people can hide." Yang Deng said with a laugh.

"Not comprehensive." Ah Qi shook his head and said, "In fact, we should also pay attention to the river surface, but you can see that there are only a few small boats and some fishermen on the river surface now."

Yang Denghuan nodded as if he had understood something and said, "So that's how it is. We have to be vigilant on the river as well."

Ah Qi's expression became solemn, and he looked at Yang Denghuan expectantly and said, "Denghuan, you are very talented and can solve cases with divine help, but you have never studied the profession of a special agent in a systematic way, so you don't know much about this kind of security subject."

Yang Denghuan was a little surprised and didn't understand why Ah Qi suddenly told him all this.

Changing the subject, Ah Qi continued, "Well, the bureau is planning to hold a short-term training course near Qianzhou in the near future to systematically learn the necessary knowledge and skills required of agents. Our director is the director, and I am also responsible for teaching two of the courses. How about you also participate? You can learn something."

Ah Qi's words were full of anticipation, and his big eyes flickered as he looked at Yang Denghuan. As expected, his eyebrows were like spring mountains and his eyes were like autumn water.

"I won't go! You are taking advantage of me! Especially Cao Youguang, he has no good intentions!" Yang Denghuan said dissatisfiedly.

"How did I take advantage of you? Why does Director Cao have bad intentions?" Ah Qi asked in surprise.

"We are brothers. If I enter the Guizhou Training Class, I will immediately become your student, and I will be a generation inferior to you! I won't do that!"

Ah Qi was not angry at all, but chuckled. Yang Denghuan glanced at Ah Qi and said unhappily, "What are you laughing at? You must be embarrassed to be exposed by me!"

"Sure enough, the director was right. He knew that you were worried about this! So the director said that he would let you serve as an instructor in the Qian training class, and you will only be an auditor for some subjects! You are an instructor, not a student!" Ah Qi said proudly.

Yang Denghuan put away his smile and stared at Ah Qi for a long time, which made Ah Qi a little confused. He said in a somewhat impatient tone: "Are you going or not? Just give me an answer! Why are you looking at me like that? You have something on your face!"

Yang Denghuan suddenly smiled and said calmly, "Why did the director try so hard to keep me here?"

Ah Qi was also stunned when he heard this, thinking that he seemed to have revealed something just now. Then he remembered what Cao Youguang had told him, "Even if you want Yang Denghuan to stay, you must not let Yang Denghuan know that it was my idea, otherwise there will be no chance of success!"

Ah Qi was stunned for a moment! (End of this chapter)
