Chapter Eighty-Nine: Charcoal in the Snow
Chapter Eighty-Nine: Sending Charcoal in the Snow
Hu Di left the teahouse first, while Xu Baisheng was still drinking tea alone, Hu Di's appearance reminded some bits and pieces of his past, and he couldn't help but show a wry smile.
He can only say that his experience is impermanent, and he never thought that one day he would stand under the plaster......
However, Hu Di's appearance reminded him of a person, a person who had almost been forgotten by him, who was originally developed by him himself, and was sent to Mr. Ye's side to cultivate for a period of time, and now no one knows him except him, and the people who knew back then have now gone to Jiuquan......
He wanted to check it out before deciding if he wanted to tell Woody about this man. He put down his teacup and stood up, still muttering the words in his mouth: "Fountain pen...... Long time no see......"
……
It was getting late, Cao Zhongxian stretched his waist and left the magazine, with a sad look on his face, the magazine is really struggling now, and no one seems to want to read any poetry and prose these days.
Cao Zhongxian sighed, they had been silent for a long time, and since Gu Tian's incident, their superiors had asked them to remain silent for their safety.
There is no important information on my side, that is, the consulate where Yuan Hao is located a few days ago I don't know why I was harassed by the military police all night, but it seems to be a mistake, it is said that the military police and the special high school were arresting anti-Japanese elements and accidentally injured the consulate. The next day, the consulate received the official document and compensation, and Yuan Hao was also confused, not knowing which one the Japanese were playing.
Cao Zhongxian was walking on the road thinking about these things, and a child carrying a box passed by Cao Zhongxian's side and suddenly asked, "Sir, do you need to shine your shoes?" ”
By this time he was almost home, and his shoes were not very dirty, he could have gone home and picked up a newspaper.
He was about to say no, but he saw the kid who looked like he was only ten years old, carrying a large box on his back, looking at him with a pair of big dark eyes, revealing a longing look.
He smiled and said, "Okay." ”
Although the child is not very old, his shoe-shining technique is quite sophisticated, and the efficiency is also very high, but Cao Zhongxian can't see any happy expression in his eyes, a child of this age should be in the school, but he has to run around for life, he can't help but sigh when he thinks of this.
"Sir wiped it well." The child said with a smile.
Cao Zhongxian kindly watched the child hand over the money, but at this moment, the child suddenly said: "Mr. Cao, there is a gentleman surnamed Tian who said that you should go to Xiqin Bar in the evening. ”
Cao Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, but the child immediately put away his dick, and when Cao Zhongxian came back to his senses, he ran away early and disappeared.
"Surname Tian?" Cao Zhongxian thought of a name in his mind, "Tian Lang!! ”
He almost forgot about this person, he once thought that this was a change in his superiors and his contact information and did not notify him, but why did this person not use the previously agreed method to find him, is there something urgent?
He shook his head, and it was in vain to think about it now, but since Tian Lang came to contact him, he had to go no matter what, after all, this was the only bridge he had to find the fireflies.
The bar really made Cao Zhongxian very uncomfortable, although he sometimes went to a place like a dance hall, but he had never been to a bar like this, but he had heard the name of this bar, it was said to be a paradise for intelligence dealers, and he didn't know why Tian Lang would choose such a place to meet him.
As soon as he entered, he saw Tian Lang sitting not far away, still the same as he remembered at the beginning, and he looked angry.
"Mr. Cao is here? It's been a long time since we've seen each other. Tian Lang said enthusiastically, and opened his hand to hug Cao Zhongxian, but Cao Zhongxian did not respond but hid.
Tian Lang didn't look embarrassed, and put his hands down.
"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Cao Zhongxian said. "Why not in the way we agreed before? It's too dangerous to meet like this......"
However, Tian Lang disagreed, "It's okay, I originally wanted to be in the newspaper, but I'm basically here now, and it's suspicious to walk away, so I'll trouble you to run, if you want to find me in the future, you can come here at night, I'm basically here." ”
Cao Zhongxian looked a little unhappy, such behavior seemed to him to be a serious violation of the rules, and this Tian Lang was too playful about underground work, "You have always been here?" ”
"yes, I'm a hot intelligence monger." Tian Lang said sereantly.
Cao Zhongxian frowned and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, but waved his hand and said, "Let's get down to business?" ”
He also knew some of Tian Lang's style and didn't bother to emphasize anything to him, after all, Tian Lang did not belong to his subordinates, he was the traffic of fireflies.
"What's the matter?" Tian Lang still had an innocent look on his face.
"Didn't you have some important information coming to me?" Cao Zhongxian was stunned.
"No, it's just to inform you to change the joint method in the future, if I want to find you, someone will come to your magazine to tell you, if you want to find me, come directly." Tian Lang said.
"Fooling around !!" Cao Zhongxian was really angry now, but he was stunned as soon as the words came out, Tian Lang shouldn't know his cover identity?!
Why did you know that he worked for a magazine? Thinking like this, he stared at Tian Lang incredulously, "You check me?!" ”
Tian Lang spread his hands, "I'm an intelligence dealer, it's not strange to know more!" But don't worry, I have professional ethics, and I have a very strict mouth as an intelligence dealer. ”
"What the hell do you want to do?!" The cautious Cao Zhongxian realized the seriousness of it, and he had even thought of the worst outcome, maybe the firefly had been caught, and it was just a game to catch him!
He had calmed down, and there was no dissatisfaction in his emotions, but his dormant expression fell into Tian Lang's eyes, and he laughed out loud, "Don't be nervous, nothing happened, it's for your own good." ”
Cao Zhongxian is not afraid of death and is willing to sacrifice himself for his beliefs at any time, and he also has rich experience in underground struggles, otherwise he would not have sat in such an important position, he could hear that Tian Lang's tone did not lie to him, and he was also relieved.
"If there's nothing to do, I'll go first......" Cao Zhongxian was about to get up and leave.
"Oh, why are you in such a hurry?" Tian Lang said, his heart was not good, he originally wanted to make a joke with him, but he took it seriously...... But Cao Zhongxian had already stood up and put on his hat, with a posture of pulling his legs and leaving.
"Oh, seeing that you are so disappointed, I will send you a piece of information for free......"
Cao Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, and sat back in his seat, Tian Lang looked at Cao Zhongxian, who was so pragmatic, and shook his head, "I joked with you before, the secret service headquarters is going to be reorganized, I heard that you failed to send someone in before?" This time, your people have already sent it inside, and in this group of airborne cadres in the secret service headquarters, your radio is silent, and my superiors asked me to tell you. ”
Saying that, Tian Lang pushed an envelope into Cao Zhongxian's hand, Cao Zhongxian's eyes lit up, and his superiors really sent charcoal in the snow, knowing what the underground party in Shanghai was most lacking now.
He couldn't help but look forward to the arrival of his new comrades......
