Chapter 537 The Ups and Downs of Troubled Times (02)

Si Xuanyi was very happy to see Xiaolu's changes. After all, he saw the hope that this girl would get better. When he arrived at Liang Wei's house, the old man would inevitably keep them for a meal. After all, this was his daughter's immediate boss, so he had to say anything. As a landlord, Mr. Liang stayed abroad in his early years and worked hard for decades to create this family business. However, he only had two daughters, and now only Liang Wei is left. There is an origin, for this uneasy little daughter, he almost gave up everything abroad and returned to China. Although he was quite famous in the two years of Zhengshang and had a good past with some upper echelon, but this time he is not He is willing to stay in the country, but he really has nothing to do for the sake of his child. Liang Rong's departure has already made him heartbroken. How can he be willing to let his only daughter continue to take risks?So he was very grateful to Si Xuanyi for allowing Liang Wei to do some less dangerous work.

Si Xuanyi actually understood his feelings very well. Having worked so hard in the flames of war for so many years, he certainly understood how much his parents missed their children. When he returned to his residence after dinner, he realized that something was wrong. Stare at him.

Si Xuanyi closed the door calmly, without turning on the light, walked to the window, looked out through the gap in the curtain, and sure enough, he found a person standing in the darkness in the distance. He frowned, drew out his gun and opened the door. Insurance, that person came out of the darkness, and flashed by the lighted window of a house across the street. Although it took less than a second for Si Xuanyi to confirm that except for the blurry face, he was stunned. The face was very familiar, it was the face of his second brother, why did the second brother appear here?This was simply impossible. After reacting for a second, he immediately opened the door and followed out. He knew that he would never be wrong, no matter in terms of body shape or appearance, he was definitely the second brother.

The second brother kept a distance from him and walked forward along the street. Si Xuanyi followed closely behind with a gun in hand. He didn't know why the second brother suddenly appeared here, but no matter what the reason was, he had to ask It is clear, but there is a vague gap in my heart that something might happen.

The two kept a distance of tens of meters and walked forward one after the other. After two streets, the second brother entered a noodle restaurant. It was already late and there was no one in the noodle restaurant. Si Xuanyi looked around, I turned two more streets, ended up in a brothel, then took a chance to slip out the back door, and then walked back down the alley to the noodle shop.

The second brother was sitting at a table inside, drinking tea with his head bowed.

Si Xuanyi walked over and sat opposite him without speaking.

"Two bowls of noodles." The second brother said without looking back.

"Okay, wait a moment." The guy was very enthusiastic.

"You shouldn't come here." Si Xuanyi said bluntly, "We shouldn't even meet." He knew very well that if two brothers with different beliefs meet here, if someone finds out, it will also mean that he doesn't care about it now. He was worried about his own safety, but he was afraid that something would happen to his second brother. After all, this was a wolf den full of spies, and the eyesliner of the military commander and the central commander was everywhere. Who knew in which corner there would be spies staring at him.

"You tell me these things as soon as we meet?" The second brother took off his hat and put it on the table calmly.

"You definitely didn't come here to catch up with me." Si Xuanyi poured himself a cup of tea, and said while drinking, "Given our identities, it's better to see each other less."

"The two brothers who also fought for the War of Resistance did not have a warm word after meeting." The second brother smiled.

"The purpose is the same, the camps are different, and the trenches are different." Si Xuanyi said in a serious manner, "Second brother, I am worried about your safety. What kind of place is this? How dare you come?"

"At least now we are all fighting against Japan together." The second elder brother raised his head and looked at Si Xuanyi, "There is no need to worry about my safety, I can take care of myself, and I have been in the world longer than you have been in the army."

Si Xuanyi sighed, he knew the second brother's temper: "Speak up! You definitely didn't come to me to reminisce about the past, what's the matter?"

Xiaoer brought two bowls of noodles, and the second brother stirred them with chopsticks, added some vinegar to one of the bowls and pushed it in front of him: "I can't come to see you if I have nothing to do? You are my real brother."

"You are my brother, my dear brother, you are not worried about your own safety, but I am." Si Xuanyi was a little anxious.

"Let's eat noodles... There are not many opportunities for the two of us to sit at the same table to eat." The second brother smiled, picked up the chopsticks, and ate down in a daze.

Si Xuanyi rubbed his face a little helplessly, but still picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, but he didn't know the taste. The second brother seemed to eat very deliciously: "Our place is not as good as yours, and we can hardly eat white noodles."

"You're dark and skinny because you're hungry?" Si Xuanyi asked.

The second brother didn't answer: "You have more scars on your face, it seems that you have suffered a lot."

"The little devil cut it, but it's not disfigured, right?" Si Xuanyi touched the scar on his face, "Some people say that this scar made me a little more heroic."

The second brother nodded: "Well...it looks more like a spy."

"I said I'm not a spy." Si Xuanyi frowned.

"I'm very pleased that you have at least done some personnel work." The second brother took a sip of the noodle soup, "You were born and died outside, and you will be imprisoned when you come back. Do you think it's worth it?"

"I don't want to talk about this issue..." Si Xuanyi put down his chopsticks, "Everything I do is to fight against Japan and save the country." He admired his second brother's intelligence work, and he actually made his affairs so clear.

"I don't deny this." The second brother also put down his chopsticks, "But you are my brother, I don't want to see you being wronged, remember when you were a child? Whoever dares to stare at you can chase him for two blocks, and now there are people here If you dare to throw you into jail, do you believe that I will screw his head off?"

"Brother, we are all grown-ups, can we stop talking like children?" Si Xuanyi looked outside the door again, "What are you doing here this time? How long will you stay? Where will you stay? I can't go anywhere, when we meet It can't be too long, if you have something to say, hurry up, your identity and mine are very sensitive, if you are not careful, you will cause a lot of trouble, I don't want you to fall here and be unable to leave."

"Are you worried about yourself, or me?" The second brother looked at him and asked calmly.

"Do you think this is interesting? To you, this is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. Can I stand by and watch what happens to you?" Si Xuanyi frowned, and asked a little angrily, "We two brothers don't need to say so much politeness. You have something to do with me, right, and it's a big deal, otherwise you don't need to take risks."

The second brother looked at him without speaking for a long time, and finally smiled softly: "My third child has grown up, and the second brother will soon no longer know you."

"My brother, can you talk about something serious?" Si Xuanyi was really anxious. He was really afraid that someone would see his second brother coming here. He just wanted his second brother to leave the city safely, but he It is also very clear that I really can't make the decision, the second brother will not listen to him, and he has always listened to the second brother since he was a child.

"I know you're worried about me." The second brother lit a cigarette by himself and pushed the cigarette case over, "Since we're brothers, let's stop talking nonsense when we meet. I really have something to do with you."

Si Xuanyi didn't move, he just listened to the nursery rhymes and didn't speak.

The second brother continued: "One of us was arrested by your military commander, I want to ask you for help..."

"Impossible!" Si Xuanyi directly interrupted the second brother, "This is the organization that made me betray myself."

The second brother is not angry: "I just ask you to help me meet him, and you don't need to do the rest."

"It's that simple?" Si Xuanyi looked at his second brother in disbelief.

"Give him a cigarette when you see him." The second brother patted the cigarette case pushed in front of him.

"You want to kill him?" Si Xuanyi really wanted to understand.

"Of course not, we won't attack our own people." The second brother shook his head, "As long as you can do this, you will be helping me."

"Even if it's that simple, no matter where he is locked up, I won't have a chance to meet him. After all, my scope of authority does not include anything related to the interrogation of prisoners." Si Xuanyi said, and he didn't believe that things were as the second brother said. Simple.

"Let's find a way, we can't find any other more suitable person, even if the second brother begs you." The second brother looked at him, "This person is very important to us, you are a member of the military command, at least you have more opportunities than outsiders .”

"Where are people locked up?" Si Xuanyi asked after a long silence.

"It's in Zhazidong..." Seeing his tone loosen, the second elder brother said, "It's not too difficult to go in and out of that place as you."

"As my identity, I can come and go, but if I have nothing to do, I will definitely arouse the suspicion of others if I go to that place casually." Si Xuanyi said.

"Well, I understand." And nodded, "Try to think of a way, if you really can't... don't force it, you are my younger brother, I don't want you to have an accident." The second brother said.

"I will handle this matter well, but there is one condition." Si Xuanyi said.

"Hmm..." Second Brother lit another cigarette, "Say it."

"You leave Chongqing tonight." Si Xuanyi said, "And then give me three days."

The second brother didn't speak, and stared at him for a long time: "Do you want me to be accused of running away? Or let my people think I'm irresponsible."

"You know why I made this request." Si Xuanyi said, "I don't want to see my brother stay in this wolf den with my own eyes; this is the prerequisite for me to do this for you, think about it."

"Give me some time to think about it." The second brother said, smoking a cigarette.

"You don't need to discuss it with other people, just promise me now." Si Xuanyi said pressingly, "The night is long and the dream is full, I don't want you to stay here for one more minute."

"Tell me about your plan first." The second brother didn't immediately agree.

"You leave tonight, and I will truthfully report the meeting with you tomorrow." Si Xuanyi said, "Sooner or later you will be known if you show up here. If I say that everything will come, let alone I will help you What's the matter, I won't be so troublesome if you're safe, but you can rest assured that I will do what I promised you."

"Okay..." The second brother nodded after a long thought, "I agree."

"Tell me!" Si Xuanyi breathed a sigh of relief, "Who is that person..."

After the two chatted, Si Xuanyi directly sent the second brother out of the city. It wasn't that he didn't trust the second brother, but he was worried. I haven't left in the dark for a long time. This meeting, the two brothers didn't say a word of intimacy, and the conversation was quite indifferent. In fact, they both knew that neither of them wanted to do this, but because of their different identities and considering each other's safety, they had to do so. In fact, they both knew in their hearts that each other was thinking about each other. Si Xuanyi knew that the second elder brother would not find him if it was a last resort, and the second elder brother also knew that Si Xuanyi would not force himself to leave as soon as possible if it was not for his own safety. Brother There is no need to speak too plainly.

In fact, from the very beginning, Si Xuanyi knew very well that his second brother would not come to him for no reason. He knew even more that he had little room to refuse what his second brother asked him to do, but he had to let his second brother leave first. prerequisite for doing things.

After Si Xuanyi went back, he didn't sleep all night. He kept thinking about how to complete the task entrusted to him by his second brother, and how to make things right last night. He knew very well that he was being watched all the time. He is secretly monitoring his every move. What happened last night may have been known to the military commanders, but judging from all signs, the identity of the second brother is still unknown, but it will be found out soon. As long as the two Brother has already left the city, and if he confesses by himself, he may avoid a lot of trouble. The reason for doing this is to avoid bigger problems. Although this approach is too ruthless, everything is for the safety of the brother. As long as the second brother can leave, Then it doesn't matter what happens to him. As for the task assigned by the second brother, he will find a way to complete it. This is his promise to the second brother.

Early the next morning, Si Xuanyi went directly to Director Mao, and "truthfully" explained what happened last night, but he blurted out some details and secretly changed the concept. He would never be so stupid as to say everything Come out, it was thoughtful and deliberated several times last night, and all the loopholes were removed to make things more complete.

After reporting back, Si Xuanyi requested that he be quarantined for review. Director Mao did not directly control him, but asked him to make a record and then directly quarantined, but it didn't make things difficult for him. Si Xuanyi knew very well that he would definitely not pass the test so easily. , But it's better than being directly approached by the law enforcement department, because he has learned that someone was indeed watching him last night, but he was lost in the brothel.

As for what the final result will be, Si Xuanyi doesn't know, but the matter will definitely not be that simple. He has already arranged everything, and the second brother's task does not require him to do it himself. He is here in case something happens. Any question can be avoided from being suspected...
