Chapter 304 Insufficient Manpower (02)

It is indeed a headache for Si Xuanyi to keep money, guns, and job vacancies, but he can't find suitable people. Now there are only four of them in the combat force. Li Siming, Zhao Chenggong and him, can't let the old man woodcutter follow him hard, can they?He believes that he is not that unreasonable, but neither he nor Li Siming really know too much about Fengshui, ancient tombs and historical relics, let alone Zhao Chenggong, the three of them together can't make up. The first half of the bucket of water, if there is no Lin Feng, the three of them are a bunch of waste, but Lin Feng's guy likes to run around by himself when he is acting, almost completely out of control, so the role he can play is quite limited. Most of the time, I can only rely on the three of them. If there is no professional person to join in, the three of them may not be able to survive the next mission. Who knows what will happen in the future. If they go to such a strange place, they are really close to death Not far away.

"The situation in all parts of the country is similar to ours. There is a shortage of talents. If we can't do it, let's find a Feng Shui master to follow." Li Siming joked.

"If you want to find a half bucket of water, it's better not to look for it." Zhao Chenggong was smoking a cigarette boredly. He can't play a big role here, so he just sits around every day and doesn't know where to buy it. No one knows if he can understand the old "Funeral Sutra".

Just when they were at a loss, the woodcutter patted the open door and came in from the outside and threw a file bag to Si Xuanyi: "The person we found is in the 28th Army. You should find a way to send him over to have a look."

Si Xuanyi opened the file bag and took a look: "I will find a way."

"The farmer introduced him to a master of Fengshui. It is said that his skills are good. These days, relying on this skill, he can't make a living. That's why he served as a soldier." The woodcutter sat down, "These are just the news we got. , I don’t know how the specific person is, I have to get him over to have a look first, we don’t care about the personnel transfer, you go to work.”

I don't know where these three old fellows got the news, but this is still a way, you have to try, Si Xuanyi believes that the person who can be recognized by the three of them should be extraordinary, but it depends on who you are. I don’t know, let’s get someone over here to have a look and talk.

"You go and apply for a transfer order and bring him over to have a look. If you can consider a formal transfer." Si Xuanyi handed the file to Li Siming after reading it.

"Yang Ze, is he a cook? This person can also be used?" Zhao Chenggong stretched his neck to see the answer in Li Siming's hand.

"What about the cook? As long as he has a kind, that's enough." Si Xuanyi said, looking at this person's file reminded him of Ma Zhong, that wimpy man with a good craft, who died with the devil in the end, and at the same time he He also thought of those people before, and he began to miss the loose teammates in Savage Mountain. Everyone there was remarkable, and they were definitely good players. Discipline, but at the last moment, everyone is considered a man, even Liang Rong is not inferior, but those people are gone.

Five days later, Yang Ze came to report. He was just an ordinary soldier with a fat body and dark complexion. Si Xuanyi didn't hesitate to hand him over to the woodcutter. There were still three old men who came to the assessment for this kind of person. It is more appropriate to do it, and if it can be used, it will be kept. After all, it is just an ordinary soldier transferred from the army to the military command, so it is relatively easy.

They didn't know the process and result of the assessment. Anyway, the woodcutter gave him the man the next day and told him that he could use it.

"Do you know what you're here for?" Si Xuanyi looked at Yang Ze who was opposite and asked.

"Report, sir, I don't know." Yang Ze stood straight, no one would treat him as a cook if he didn't know his details, he continued, "I'm a gang, I don't know if the sir needs One cooks."

"You are a smart person, you should be able to guess some." Li Siming said aside.

Yang Ze hesitated for a moment: "Then why are you going to choose a private house for someone? The three old gentlemen are much smarter than me, I don't quite understand."

"I told you to kill devils." Zhao Chenggong said carelessly.

"I've been a soldier all these years with a spoon, and I don't even know how to hold a gun." Yang Ze couldn't believe it. In his opinion, anyone can beat ghosts. How could he be the only cook like him?

"He's right. He asked you to fight the devils, but not on the front line. You've been transferred here on another battlefield. Let's talk about other things slowly and settle down first." Si Xuanyi waved his hand and called Zhao Successfully took him to Liang Wei to complete the remaining procedures.

Yang Ze followed Zhao Chenggong with a complicated expression, and Li Siming continued after watching him go out, "Is this person okay? Judging from his posture, it seems that he can't even protect himself."

"Let's use it first. If you can't find a more suitable one, it's not bad. Send him to the training team first. In this age, he has been on the battlefield as a soldier. Whether it's a direct confrontation or not, he won't be too weak. I think He is not an exception, he is a strong man, he can't be worse than Ma Zhong in Xiong, right?" Si Xuanyi frowned, obviously he was not very satisfied with this person, but it was the woodcutter and the others who found him People shouldn't be so bad, let's leave it for inspection first.

When Lin Feng came back that afternoon, this guy came to report with a tired face.

"How is the situation at home?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"Fortunately, I went back in time. Before the Japanese arrived, I took my sister out and settled down with my mother in the urban area." Lin Feng said.

In fact, when Lin Feng left, he first went to the place where Juntong settled for his old mother in Chongqing. His family should have been taken over when he was selected for the seventh subject, but at that time his younger sister was studying abroad, so only His mother was taken to Chongqing, and this time he went back mainly to meet his younger sister.

"Very good! Can you rest assured now?" Si Xuanyi nodded.

"I will return the money to you." Lin Feng said incoherently.

"It's all trivial matters, as long as we can kill the enemy without any worries." Si Xuanyi said.

"I will." Lin Feng nodded.

In the evening, Si Xuanyi invited guests to a small shop and gathered a few people. This was their first gathering after returning, including the newcomers Yang Ze and Liang Wei. Originally, he also wanted to invite the three old men. But the woodcutter said they had other things to do.

"Don't be restrained, let's have a small gathering today to get to know each other better." Si Xuanyi said to everyone, "This is the first time we have eaten together since we met. Today there is no superior or inferior, and the purpose is to have enough food and drink."

"Boss, can I drink?" Zhao Chenggong asked, licking his lips.

"Open your stomach and drink." Si Xuanyi shouted after he finished speaking and asked the waiter to serve the wine.

Soon the dishes were all served, and just as they picked up their glasses of wine, they rushed in alone and whispered something in Si Xuanyi's ear to call him away. Director Mao had something urgent to do with him.

Si Xuanyi immediately rushed back to see Mao Renfeng. When he arrived, he found that Mao Renfeng's face was not very good-looking.

"Look at this first." Mao Renfeng threw a newspaper in front of him expressionlessly.

Si Xuanyi was a little confused. He picked up the newspaper and took a closer look, only to find that it was a Japanese newspaper. Although he had recently started to learn Japanese from the military command, after all, the time was too short and he still couldn't understand it at all, but he recognized it. A photo of a person, his first reaction was not to believe his eyes, after careful identification, cold sweat came out on his back, this person is actually Ishii Hongichi, they dealt with each other in an underground mission last time The Japanese devil Major.

"Don't understand?" Mao Renfeng sneered, "What did you do last time? Didn't you say that he was dead? This was brought back by our people from Nanjing, and it said that he was in a tomb in the late Western Han Dynasty I got a treasure out of it."

"In that case, no one should be able to come out alive. We killed all the four Japanese devils who came out." Si Xuanyi was dripping with cold sweat.

"Then how do you explain this?" Mao Renfeng slammed the table.

Si Xuanyi didn't dare to speak, and didn't even dare to look up at Mao Renfeng.

"You said he was going to seal the dragon's veins, but he brought something out of it and it was published in the newspaper. Now his people and the things he took out are in Nanjing. Do you know what he took away?" Mao Renfeng asked with a cold face, "What a bunch of trash, what use are you for?"

Si Xuanyi felt a murderous intent rushing towards his face, he didn't even know how to explain it, or he couldn't even open his mouth at all. At that moment, he realized that perhaps this was the real Mao Renfeng. The soft-spoken Mao Renfeng is just an illusion.

"Now you take your people to get the things back for me." Mao Renfeng said and threw a large piece of documents on him.

Si Xuanyi was so confused by the scolding that he didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately took those documents back to study carefully.

After returning to the office and reading the documents carefully, he realized that the one taken away by Hiroshi Ishii was a thing called "Suihou Zhu". He had never heard of this thing and didn't know what it was, so he could only continue reading these materials , from which he found an introduction about Suihouzhu.

After looking at me, he realized that this "Suihou Pearl" has a lot of background. The material has two world-famous treasures in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, one is "Heshibi", and the other is this "Suihou Pearl". Yes, Liang Zhuo's fame could be said to be equal in that era, and they had a great relationship. It is said that the two are collectively called "Hebi Suizhu".

According to legend, when Suihou, the monarch of Suiguo, was on a trip, he saw a big snake that had been cut into two pieces, wriggling and struggling desperately in the middle of the road. The snake was spliced ​​together with medicine and wrapped with cloth. The snake recovered as before, crawled into the grass and disappeared.

Suihou didn't take this matter seriously. Although Suiguo is not a big country, and Suihou doesn't have to take care of everything, it is normal to deal with government affairs. How can this kind of thing be taken too seriously? Unexpectedly, a year later, the big snake will come Come to repay your kindness, hold a pearl in your mouth and enter Suihou Palace, put down the pearl and say to the follower: "I am the son of the Dragon King, I am grateful for your life-saving grace, and I am here to repay my virtue."

After finishing speaking, the big snake disappeared, leaving only the bright pearl, which was more than an inch in diameter, crystal clear, and shone brightly at night, like a bright moon. It was called "Suihou Pearl", also known as "Spirit Snake Pearl" or The "Moon Pearl" is a priceless treasure, which is treasured by the Marquis Sui.

Later, Sui State was destroyed by Chu State, and Sui Hou Zhu fell into the hands of the King of Chu.At the time of King Xuan of Chu, Qin sent envoys to watch the treasures of Chu. King Xuan of Chu asked Yin Zixi, "Qin wants to see the treasures of Chu. Can I show you the jade of my family and the pearl of Suihou?" It can be seen that at that time, Suihou Zhu is indeed in the state of Chu.

At the end of the Warring States Period, Qin Shihuang possessed Suihou Pearl and Heshibi.This was confirmed in Li Si's "Book of Remonstrance and Exorcism". Li Si advised and said: "The jade sent to Kunshan by your majesty today is the treasure of easygoing and harmony, and the pearl of the bright moon... The number of treasures is not born in Qin Dynasty. Yan, and your Majesty said, why?" The "treasure of Sui and Harmony" here refers to Suihou Zhu and Heshibi, which also shows that people at that time called the two treasures together.

Later, the first emperor of Qin ordered Li Si to write the horoscope of "Designed by the heavens, and live forever", and ordered Yu Gong to engrave it on Heshibi, which became the emperor's "jade seal".After Liu Bang destroyed the Qin Dynasty, Heshibi became the "Jade Seal of the Kingdom" of successive dynasties. After more than a thousand years, the Jade Seal of the Kingdom has always been the fetish that all dynasties have spared no effort to search for, but few can be seen in the end. In the end, it was returned to the treasury by Si Xuanyi.

The Suihou Pearl, which is as famous as the Chuanguo Yuxi, suffered much more miserable. Since Qin Shihuang, its whereabouts have been unknown for more than 2000 years. candle".Of course, it is also possible that Xiang Yu had burned it in a big fire.

After reading these, Si Xuanyi finally understood that this was a fetish object as famous as the Chuanguo Seal. In the hands of the Japanese?No wonder Mao Renfeng lost his temper, but why did this thing appear in an ancient tomb in Sichuan?

Another question is how did Ishii Hongyi come out. At that time, they were already in a desperate situation. The entire mausoleum was completely submerged in water. There should be no other way to go, but now there is no need to delve into this issue. Anyway, Ishii had already escaped, so Si Xuanyi immediately went to the woodcutter and other three old men to discuss countermeasures.

"We already know something." The farmer said unhurriedly, "This thing is indeed a priceless treasure. Of course, the premise must be true, but it cannot be said that the Japanese say it is true, so he is true, so distinguish the authenticity from the false." That's what we have to figure out at the moment, and then figure out how to get it back."

"But the intelligence said that the Japanese will transport it back to the mainland in the near future. We are running out of time." Si Xuanyi was a little anxious. He couldn't get rid of this thing falling into the hands of the Japanese, after all, they were there at the time. There, and there was a direct confrontation with Hiroichi Ishii, completely ignoring the problem that they would steal something from it, but it made sense after thinking about it carefully, how could the Japanese give up such a good opportunity?At that time, their attention was all on the Japanese sealing the dragon veins, and they completely ignored this point. It can be said that the Japanese took this thing away under their noses. If this thing was really shipped back to Japan, it was not just It was as simple as dereliction of duty, and it would not be an exaggeration to send them to a military court and shoot them directly.

"There is nothing to talk about, let's talk about it in Nanjing first." The fisherman is the most straightforward, sitting here can't solve any problems...
