"General Chen, rest assured, Director Wang is fine," although Liao Fan didn't know what the relationship between Wang Shiru and Chen Cheng was, Chen Cheng would definitely not watch Wang Shiru die in front of him, "I promise to return Director Wang's full beard and full shadow in a few days." Ｅ ん． ”

"Could it be that Senior Commander Liao still has a secret hiding place in Chongqing?" Chen Cheng looked into Liao Fan's eyes and asked.

Liao Fan just smiled lightly, yes, of course there is, I just won't tell you: "What other secrets can I have, hasn't General Chen been sending people to keep an eye on us these days?" Is there anything General Chen doesn't know? ”

Chen Cheng knew that Liao Fan would not tell the truth, and he didn't plan to continue to ask: "As for your other soldiers, when I see Wang Shiru, I will put them back, and let them be hostages with me for a while for the time being, I can't trust your character as Senior Commander Liao." ”

"Naturally, I didn't say anything about my character, but General Chen's character is really good, and he sent me two followers, not only did they take a bath and they stared at it, but the most important thing is that it costs me money to eat." Liao Fan said deliberately.

Of course, Chen Cheng heard that Liao Fan was squeezing him, but he didn't care: "Did Senior Commander Liao's subordinates reimburse me for the day's food and drink expenses from me?" ”

Only then did Liao Fan remember that the dozen or so soldiers under his command were still in Chen Cheng's hands, and let Chen Cheng take care of eating and drinking, and his face instantly became embarrassed.

While laughing, he said: "General Chen's family has a big business, of course I don't care about adding a few pairs of chopsticks, I, Liao Fan, am a small family, General Chen will definitely not care about these with me, right?" ”

"Speaking of eating, it's also noon, why don't you two come with me to the restaurant to eat, although there are no delicacies here, but it's enough for two people to fill their stomachs." Chen Cheng looked at his watch, it was already twelve o'clock, so he invited the Liao Fan brothers to eat first.

Entering the restaurant, Liao Fancai is completely different from the last time this time, there are already eight dishes on the table, which have obviously been carefully prepared.

"When I left this morning, I had already explained to the housekeeper, and there were distinguished guests, so the meal had been prepared in advance, and we had something to talk about while eating." Chen Cheng invited the two of them to take a seat, but Huai Yuanliang still stood aside and watched.

"Thank you General Chen for your kindness!" Liao Jundong opened his mouth to thank him, and after watching Chen Cheng sit down, he sat down, and Liao Fan had already done it, picking up chopsticks to prepare to gobble up. Liao Jundong shook his head helplessly.

Liao Fan knew that Chen Cheng must have something to say halfway, so he planned to fill his stomach first, and then concentrate on dealing with Chen Cheng's words, the most important thing was that he was also hungry, and dealing with these officials was a waste of physical strength and energy.

Chen Cheng just smiled faintly when he looked at Liao Fan's eating appearance, Liao Jundong's eating appearance was much better, maybe he didn't have much appetite when he just came out.

As a qualified soldier, Liao Fan is notoriously fast at eating, after all, it doesn't matter if you have enough to eat when the enemy comes. In less than three minutes, Liao Fan finished eating three bowls of rice, and at this time, Chen Cheng and Liao Jundong had not eaten a bowl.

Liao Fan wiped the rice stains on his mouth, and said to Chen Cheng with a smile: "If General Chen has something to say, just say it, I'm already full." ”

Liao Jundong didn't understand what Liao Fan meant, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and looked at the two people suspiciously, as if they, the two of them had reached some agreement in private.

Chen Cheng just smiled faintly: "Master Liao's observation is good, but he is too anxious." ”

After speaking, Chen Cheng lowered his head and continued to eat the uneaten rice in his bowl, leaving only Liao Jundong's face full of doubts.

A minute later, Chen Cheng finally finished eating the rice in his bowl, Chen Cheng put down the dishes and chopsticks and said to Liao Fan: "The last time I came to eat here, I only told you after eating a bowl of rice, but this time you were impatient first." ”

"Looks like I'm not looking closely enough!"

At this time, Liao Jundong also understood the meaning of the conversation between the two people, it turned out that Liao Fan had already eaten with Chen Cheng, and knew that Chen Cheng must have something to announce at the dinner table, so he gobbled up himself first. At this point, Liao Jundong couldn't help but think a little more about his younger brother's observation.

"In that case, Commander Liao guess what I'm going to say next." Chen Cheng looked at Liao Fan with interest.

"Since General Chen went to see Chairman Chiang this morning, this matter must have something to do with Chairman Chiang." Liao Fan guessed.

"Haha, it's terrifying," Chen Cheng also began to look at Liao Fan with admiration, "Chairman Jiang wants to see you, and he wants to see you tonight!" ”

"What!" Liao Fan stood up suddenly, startling both Chen Cheng and Liao Jundong, "General Chen, you don't lie to me, do you?" ”

Liao Fan had already guessed that this matter was related to Chairman Jiang, and it might be that Chairman Jiang wanted to give him an order to Liao Fan or hold him responsible for making trouble in Chongqing, but he never expected Chairman Jiang to see him.

"I'm the commander of a group army, why should I lie to you?" Chen Cheng feigned anger, and no one dared to say that he was lying.

Liao Fan also knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly apologized to Chen Cheng and said: "General Chen, I am the division commander of a small local army, better than the militia guerrillas, but compared to those regular armies, it is a little unrealistic for Chairman Jiang to see me, right?" ”

"I'm only responsible for conveying Chairman Jiang's orders, and I'm also going to bring you over, as for why Chairman Jiang did this, naturally he has his reasons, after you finish eating, I will ask Lao Huai to send your brother back to his residence first, as for you to stay with me for the time being, and we will go to meet Chairman Jiang together in the evening." Chen Cheng rested for a while and continued to eat the meal he had just served.

Liao Fan saw that Chen Cheng was going to eat, so he had to obediently close his mouth and want to see Chairman Jiang, he was not prepared at all now, just like the prelude of the king, if the preparation is not good and the emperor is unhappy, then there is only one result.

Liao Jundong, who was eating silently, had obviously just been released and was not in a state, but he observed the expression on Liao Fan's face and knew that it would definitely not be a simple matter to meet Chairman Jiang tonight.

"General Chen, can we not go, if you agree, we will never come to Chongqing again." Liao Jundong put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and suddenly said that he could do anything for his younger brother.

And the most important thing is that he saw a corner of Chongqing from Wang Shiru, how dirty it is, so unsightly, he doesn't want Liao Fan to be mixed into this big dye vat, he just wants to protect Liao Fan.

Liao Fan heard Liao Jun's words, although Liao Jundong was still a little incoherent, but he heard what Liao Jundong meant to defend him.

"Brother, don't worry, I'll be fine." Liao Fan gave Liao Jundong a reassuring look, "Chairman Jiang is not so terrible, even if he wants to kill me and take away my military power, I'm afraid that few of those thousands of troops can be mobilized." And I also believe that General Chen will not push me into the fire pit. ”

Chen Cheng only smiled lightly when he heard Liao Fan's words, pretending not to hear anything.

After eating, Liao Jundong may have seen Liao Fan, and his spirit was much better, and his face began to redden, not so haggard.

After returning to the living room, Chen Cheng arranged for Huai Yuanliang to send Liao Fan back to his residence, Liao Jundong needed to recuperate, and the more complicated the things he considered, the less beneficial his reply would be. After Liao Fan thanked Chen Cheng, he personally sent Liao Jundong to the gate of the mansion.

"What are Master Liao's plans in the future?" Chen Cheng asked after seeing Liao Fan returning.

"What else can I plan, go back to Taihang Mountain, and continue to take my brothers to fight with the little devils." Liao Fan leaned lazily on the sand, "The matter in Chongqing is over, but my brother is right, I really don't want to deal with you people in Chongqing, I'm too tired." ”

"I know you want to lead troops to fight," Chen Cheng glanced at Liao Fan, "But what about the matter in Chongqing, if you leave, it doesn't mean that the matter here is over, wherever you go is under the jurisdiction of the national government, unless you are a traitor." ”

"General Chen really thinks highly of me, I am a traitor like this, I don't want a little devil," Liao Fan said with a smile, "I will lead the troops to fight against the little devils, they just need to take out a brigade to stare at me, if I become a traitor, the little devils will use a division to guard against me, and the little devils will not be so stupid." ”

Hearing Liao Fan's fallacy, Chen Cheng just laughed "haha": "Don't you want to establish your own intelligence network in Chongqing?" ”

"Intelligence network, what intelligence network?" Of course, Liao Fan couldn't admit this matter, although he was already preparing it secretly.

Chen Cheng had already seen through Liao Fan's thoughts, but Liao Fan's manpower in Chongqing, he had already sent Huai Yuanliang to keep an eye on it, if Liao Fan dared to use these people to collect intelligence on Chongqing, Chen Cheng just had an excuse to arrest them all.

"But I have an idea, the Eighth Route Army has an office in Chongqing, and I think our independent 33rd should also have an office in Chongqing." Liao Fan did not shy away from telling Chen Cheng what he thought in his heart.

After Chen Cheng heard Liao Fan's thoughts, his face immediately darkened: "Do you know what you're doing?" ”

Liao Fan saw that Chen Cheng's face darkened, and realized the situation, but he didn't know what he had done wrong, so he had to shake his head.

"The office is the product of the cooperation between the two parties, does Senior Commander Liao want to be the third?"

As soon as Liao Fan heard this, he understood why Chen Cheng had changed his face, it turned out that Chen Cheng thought that Liao Fan wanted to split the army and specialize in another political party, which Chen Cheng would never allow.

"General Chen misunderstood, the office does not mean that I lead the troops to stand on my own, I just want to establish a liaison office, in case there is major information in Taihang Mountain, I can't rely on manpower alone to send it here, so there is a liaison office, not only for our convenience, for Chongqing can also convey the order to us, if General Chen is not at ease, this liaison office, can also send someone to supervise, I Liao Fan will never do anything to split the country and harm the nation." Liao Fan wanted Chen Cheng to explain his thoughts.
