In the car, Shao Fei sat opposite Zhang Yi and was silent. [No pop-ups. I kept thinking about the information I had just gotten from Xu Changqing's mouth.

Lan Ling, Chen Haotian, Xu Changqing, and the man of his real opponent. What exactly is the relationship between these four people? What must be implicated in each other? One question after another, Shao Fei couldn't find the answer.

"Smart man, thinking about things is obsessed again."

Zhang Yi, who was sitting opposite Shao Fei, suddenly said this, which greatly broke Shao Fei's thinking.

Shao Fei slowed down and chuckled, and asked, "Who is Xu Changqing?"

Zhang Yi replied: "I only know that he is a military commander, and I don't know anything else." After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he was transferred to our brigade, and Brigade Commander Mao was also afraid of him, and he felt more unfathomable than you. ”

Shao Fei asked again: "You always know your sworn brother, right?"

Zhang Yi hesitated and replied: "He is a real man and a real soldier."

Shao Fei knew that Zhang Yi didn't want to say more about Chen Haotian in front of him, so he didn't ask more.

"I don't know if I should ask, where are you going?"

"Nanjing."

"Nanjing. What a coincidence. Zhang Yi subconsciously smiled and said, "I will fulfill my promise to let you arrive within two days."

After a few hours of travel, the truck arrived at a military hospital in Jiaozuo. Because the fighting had just begun, there were not many wounded, and they were quickly resettled.

At ten o'clock in the evening, in the ward. Zhang Yi had already redressed his wounds and was lying on the hospital bed. At this time, Shao Fei pushed the door and walked in.

"Here we are."

"Hmm. Is the injury better? ”

"I can't die." Zhang Yi chuckled, and then turned his gaze to the bedside table: "There is a letter here, you take the letter and hand it over to the shopkeeper of the Chen family firm surnamed Zhou, the firm has goods in and out of all provinces in the country, he can help you."

Speaking of the Chen family's firm, Shao Fei immediately thought of Chen Haotian, so he asked, "Is it your big brother's firm?"

"That's right, with my eldest brother's friendship, he will help you."

Shao Fei walked over, picked up the letter and put it in his pocket.

"Thank you."

"I should thank you." As he spoke, Zhang Yi let out a long breath: "Without you and your people, me and my hundreds of brothers should go to the Hades Hall to report now."

After hearing this, Shao Fei just smiled lightly: "Then I'll go."

"Wait." Zhang Yi stopped Shao Fei and asked, "When I said 'such a coincidence' in the car before, why didn't you ask me."

Shao Fei still chuckled and replied, "If you don't want to tell me about Chen Haotian, I won't ask." But I also guessed that Chen Haotian is in Nanjing. ”

"You're really smart."

"I'm leaving."

Shao Fei took the letter and left the hospital. After coming to the county seat, I admired the thousand-year-old city by the way.

Jiaozuo, known as Shanyang and Huaizhou in ancient times, is one of the central areas of the early activities of the Chinese nation, and the existing Peiligang culture, Yangshao culture and Longshan cultural sites.

Jiaozuo is located in the northwest of Henan Province, bordering Taihang Mountain in the north, Jincheng City in Shanxi Province, the surging Yellow River in the south, Zhengzhou City and Luoyang City across the river, Xinxiang City in the east, and Jiyuan City in the west.

This thousand-year-old city has also produced many celebrities, such as: Sima Yi, Han Yu, Li Shangyin, Zhu Zaiyu, Xu Heng and the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest.

After some inquiry, Shao Fei came to the front of the Chen family firm. This is a building-style building, richly decorated, with a Western-style style, but it is not in the same way as this antique Jiaozuo. Just like Chen Haotian's dress, it is very incongruous.

After Shao Fei entered, a guy at the front desk spotted Shao Fei. Seeing that he was dressed up and covered with dust, he looked like he had come down from the front line, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Official, what are you doing?"

"I want to see your shopkeeper Zhou, please excuse me."

The young man once again gave Shao Fei a large number of times, that is, a big-headed soldier, and his expression began to be contemptuous.

"That's not okay, do you have an appointment? The big shopkeeper is not seen by everyone. ”

Shao Fei saw that the man had a dog-eyed and low-looking face, and he was angry.

"I'm very busy, I'm saying it again, it's all trouble."

Shao Fei's words carried a hint of anger, but the young man didn't see it, and still had a face: "Is this an attitude of begging for people?"

Shao Fei was really angry, twisted the other party's arm, grabbed the other party's neck with one hand, and pressed it on the table at the front desk: "I don't know how to lift."

The young man struggled hard and yelled "Damn, do you know what this place is!?" Do you know who our eldest young master is? You're looking for death. ”

Shao Fei pressed hard again to shut him up, and said, "What if you know, isn't it Chen Haotian's stinky boy?" A guy who has no taste in clothes. ”

"Hahaha"

A hearty laugh came from the stairs. Shao Fei looked up, and a man in his forties walked towards him. He has a gray coat, a thin body, black-framed glasses, and especially his body feels particularly tall. On the whole, it is completely the appearance of a teacher in the Ming period.

The man walked up to Shao Fei, smiled modestly, and said, "Dare to call the eldest young master stinky boy, count the people he is wearing, you are the third, it seems that you are not small at the beginning."

Shao Fei let go of his hand, and the young man hurriedly walked to the man's side and pointed at Shao Fei: "The shopkeeper, he is a big soldier, and he takes advantage of the fact that no one of us comes to make trouble."

"Shut up." The man whispered, and then said politely to Shao Fei: "The subordinate has no way to discipline him, so he smiled." My surname is Zhou, the shopkeeper of this firm, and I can also say the highest person in charge here. ”

"Hello."

Seeing that this person was so polite to him, Shao Fei's anger disappeared and he said politely: "You just said that I am the third, so that I can guess who the first two are." One is his old son, and the other should be Lan Ling's stinky girl. ”

After hearing this, the man's face changed suddenly, and he said: "It seems that he really has a great background, he even knows Miss Lan, and he dares to call her a stinky girl, she is not small." Even the young master didn't dare to call this. ”

Shopkeeper Zhou bent down slightly and stretched out his hand politely, and said, "Upstairs, please."

Shao Fei entered the office of the shopkeeper Zhou and observed the surrounding layout. It's a Western-style style, but there are also Chinese elements, and some are nondescript.

Shao Fei handed the letter to Shopkeeper Zhou: "This is a letter that Zhang Yi asked me to give you, I hope you can help us." ”

Shopkeeper Zhou opened the envelope, and after reading it, he began to ponder and did not reply immediately. Shao Fei sat on the sofa and waited for a reply.

Half a day later, Shopkeeper Zhou said: "With the friendship between Zhang Yi and the eldest young master, there is no problem in helping you." Coincidentally, don't you see that there is no one below, and they all went to carry grain. These grains were sent to Nanjing at the behest of the eldest young master. ”

Shopkeeper Zhou still didn't reply directly, and seemed a little embarrassed.

Shao Fei asked, "Is there any difficulty?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhou said directly: "You shouldn't be an ordinary person, and I don't think you will be Zhang Yi's subordinate." And you know Miss Lan, it seems that you have a very special identity. I must not call unknown people with the grain delivery team, and when I find out, I am afraid that there will be trouble. ”

"That's right." Shao Fei thought for a while and said frankly: "My name is Shao Fei, and I am the Eighth Route Army. ”

"Shao Fei, Eighth Route Army." Shopkeeper Zhou thought about it, as if he had heard a name there. After thinking about it, he said: "It's still not good, although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are cooperating now, but you know, ** is still very wary of you." It will be very troublesome for you to venture into the Guotong area and be discovered, and the Chen family will also be implicated. ”

Shao Fei sighed in his heart, today's battle seemed to be in vain.

Shopkeeper Zhou was a little helpless, and then said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you." ”

"Understood," Shao Fei stood up, and after saying goodbye to Shopkeeper Zhou, he left the Chen family firm.

ps: Jiaozuo was called Qinyang County at that time. In 1945, it was renamed Jiaozuo.
