The Republic of Heroes

Whether Jiang Zhongzheng was in a bad mood or not, Zhang Xueliang did not know, but a piece of news made him sleepless. Wang Yaqiao, who came to Han from Shanghai, escaped on the way under police escort.That’s not to mention, according to the information he carried with him, there are Zhang Xueliang’s detailed schedule and recent photos from multiple angles. All signs show that not only Jiang Zhongzheng, Wang Jingwei, and Wu Xiaoliang are within the scope of the assassin’s assassination, but even Zhang Xueliang Also on the list.

And Wu Xiaoliang and Zhang Xueliang were going to have a historic meeting with Chiang Kai-shek at this time, so Wang Yaqiao escaped at such a sensitive moment, and the secrets behind it couldn't help but make people extremely interesting.Zhang Xueliang advocated giving up the meeting. After all, personal safety is the top priority. What's more, he still doubts Wang Yaqiao's escape. He is afraid that he will be inseparable from Jiang Zhongzheng. up?

"Weizhong, let's postpone the meeting with the chairman. I won't go back today, and neither will you!"

Wu Xiaoliang pondered for a while, then asked a question.

"If the schedule that has been set is temporarily changed because of the assassin's escape, what will the outside world think of you and me?"

Zhang Xueliang is also faintly aware of this problem, but he believes that face is not as important as face, and he still insists that he should not risk himself.

"This is not a matter of losing face! You and I advocate a united front, and what we are doing is to benefit the country, the people, and our Chinese nation. If we are tight, I, Wu, and you, Zhang, will shrink back in fear at this moment." If you don't dare to show your face in the house, how do you let the people of the country think of this United Front meeting?"

Zhang Xueliang was at a loss for words when asked, but he finally compromised, and decided to go to Jiang Zhongzheng's private residence in Wuchang together as planned, but made some arrangements on the route for safety.But in terms of the method of crossing the river, they gave up the ferry and called He Yaozu to ask him to arrange a military and police patrol boat for temporary crossing.

All the preparations went well, but when they arrived at Hankou Wharf, there was an accident.The patrol boat of the military police did not show up as planned. After negotiating with He Yaozu, he was informed that the patrol boat encountered an emergency and it might be delayed by half to an hour.

Zhang Xueliang was in the car, and there were no more than ten guards outside the car. He watched the bustling crowd outside the car vigilantly, and no one seemed to realize that the powerful figures of the Nationalist Government were sitting in this car.He had been assassinated in Beiping, and he was almost killed by the assassin's bomb in Xi'an again.Therefore, at this moment, the nerves are already extremely sensitive, and as long as there are strangers around him, he will become inexplicably vigilant.

For the sake of safety, Wu Xiaoliang did not ride in the same car with Zhang Xueliang, in order to prevent accidents from being overwhelmed by others.After a delay of about half an hour, a guard finally came to report that the police patrol boat had successfully arrived at the pier, and he and Wu Xiaoliang were invited to board the boat.Colleague He Yaozu specially dispatched an adjutant to coordinate the front and back, claiming that the car has been prepared at the Jiangnan Wharf, and only waits for the two officers to wait for the car to go to the chairman's private residence as soon as they land on the shore.

Zhang Xueliang raised his wrist to look at the time. The hour hand had already pointed to four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun would soon set. After crossing the river, he would not return to Hankou today. No one could guarantee what would happen after dark.

……

The young man put on a neat Chinese tunic suit today. Since he seldom wears this kind of clothes on weekdays, he fiddled with the hem unnaturally.This is the second time he has come to the bustling Hankou Wharf, and in front of him is still the woman with a graceful figure, full of mature and confusing aura.The woman turned her head and blamed him for walking too slowly, and asked him to walk faster, because today's task schedule is very tense.This made his face flushed and his heart beating.

The young man kept telling himself secretly that she belonged to Mr. Chen, but he couldn't control all kinds of wild thoughts no matter what. From that night on, his mind was full of this woman's tight and plump waist and the reflection of the marsh light. This kind of confusion and reverie filled him with a sense of guilt.

A Chevrolet sedan split through the crowd and headed towards the pier, causing exclamations from pedestrians.Only then did the young man come back from his wild thoughts.

"Why are you still in a daze? Mr. Wang is in a very bad situation now. It is impossible to wait for us for a long time. It will be too late if we don't hurry up."

A gentle voice rang in his ears, and the woman's breath with a subdued tone wafted between his ears and nose, and he was distracted again.The woman's fingertips lightly touched the back of the young man's hand intentionally or unintentionally, and he suddenly withdrew his hand as if getting an electric shock, completely waking up.He came to Han this time to bear the great trust of the people of the country, how could he indulge in this unrealistic fantasy and couldn't extricate himself, so he cheered up.

"Yes, yes, let's go quickly! There is no time!"

There were whistles on the pier, and the ferry slowly approached the Hankou pier. Zhang Xueliang had already got off the car at this moment, looking thoughtfully at the crowd who was hurriedly getting on and off the ferry.Wu Xiaoliang urged him: "Don't be stupid, if you want to take the ferry, go there, I won't stop you!"

Zhang Xueliang opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly heard a loud noise, and the ground under his feet even trembled.

Wu Xiaoliang's first reaction was the bomb attack, and he immediately pressed Zhang Xueliang's shoulders and lowered himself behind the car, trying to minimize the chance of the two of them being exposed in full view.

When I looked up again, I saw thick black smoke rising from the pier in the southeast direction, followed by men and women who were crying and running in panic. The police could not stop the people who were running wildly, and they were soon submerged in the In the crowd, with the pushing and squeezing, some people fell to the ground and were trampled on. For a time, the situation was unprecedented, and the situation was unprecedentedly out of control.

Wu Xiaoliang didn't know whether the attack was aimed at him and Zhang Xueliang. He was a little angry. Why is it so difficult to do something in today's China? The enemy's attack, the people's conspiracy, when will we be able to resist foreign aggression without hesitation?This may only be a beautiful fantasy.He turned his head to look for He Yaozu's adjutant, but found that the greasy-faced guy had fled to nowhere.Can't help but blame He Yaozu for being so unreliable that he sent such people to do liaison work.

But in the next second, Wu Xiaoliang knew that he was wrong, and saw the adjutant ran back from the direction of the pier, shouting: "The police patrol boat is still on the shore, sir, is it still on board?" ?”

This made Wu Xiaoliang's heart flutter. The deployment of patrol boats was a temporary act. The bombing of the ferry may be related to the lag of some people's information. If you go back here, you will miss this golden opportunity for publicity.
