Chapter 156 They Won’t Come Back
Tian Jing's face turned red.
What daughter-in-law? She doesn’t have one. She is not one.
Zhou Jixian clicked his tongue and tilted his head to the side, "What are you yelling about? Are you afraid that others don't know Awen is here?"
Xiao Bohou was quite angry, especially when he saw Zhou Jixian's look. He had had that look before, when he looked at his son-in-law, Ah Wen. It was similar to this look.
Xiao Bohou ignored Zhou Jixian, strode up to Zhou Weiguo, looked him up and down, and then snorted coldly, "If I find out that you have treated my daughter badly, I will overthrow your Zhou family."
"Old man, what's wrong with me looking at him? Don't make trouble for no reason."
Xiao Bohou turned his head to look at Zhou Jixian and snorted coldly without saying anything else.
Tian Jing wanted to cover her face. The two of them were getting angry. Shouldn't she be the one being wronged?
There was nothing between her and Zhou Weiguo, so why did these two people insist on pinning such a serious crime on her?
"Dad, I'm hungry." Zhou Weiguo saw that the two were about to quarrel, so he quickly said something.
The two men who were ready to roll up their sleeves and fight turned their heads to look at Zhou Weiguo, and then they began to clean up the table next to them.
Zhou Weiguo couldn't go out, so the two of them could only stay here and have dinner with their children.
Braised lion's head, meatball soup, and a few Suzhou specialties. Xiao Bohou also bought some pig's trotters, and the four of them ate and talked here.
The next night, Xu Hu came back with artillery shells. He didn't dare bring in mortars, but he brought in artillery shells.
"Captain, five shells, is that enough?" Xu Hu pointed at the shells on the table and asked.
Zhou Weiguo glanced and nodded; "That's enough."
As he spoke, he took off his coat, dismantled the shell with the tools beside him, then took out some of the explosives inside, carefully stuffed the glass bottle in, and finally restored the shell to its original state.
"Captain, when I came in, some Japanese troops were leaving the city. It seems they are heading over there. Should we go there tonight?" Xu Hu asked after Zhou Weiguo finished.
Zhou Weiguo nodded and asked, "Where did you put the mortar?"
"Captain, outside the city."
"Okay, let's go now. Also, you go to my house, carry a hoe and a shovel, and we'll set off right away."
Xu Hu didn't understand what the hoe and shovel were for, but he didn't ask. Instead, he went out and got a hoe and a shovel. Zhou Jixian knew that his son was leaving, so he got dressed and asked Wangcai to load a truck with food. He sent the three men out of the city in the name of comforting the imperial army.
Shanghai Expeditionary Force Headquarters.
Standing in front of the window, Chaoxiang raised her wrist to check the time. It was already past eight o'clock.
According to the time, the special envoy is now paying tribute to the fallen soldiers.
"General, we shouldn't have accepted this escort mission." The chief of staff of the expeditionary force next to him was still somewhat dissatisfied.
Although the envoy's route was covert, the intelligence department in Nanjing was not a pushover. Once they found out, they would definitely launch an attack.
The special envoy represents His Majesty. If something happens, His Royal Highness the Prince cannot bear the responsibility.
He swore that if he had known about this earlier, he would have asked His Royal Highness the Prince to refuse. But by the time he got the news, it was too late. His Royal Highness the Prince had already agreed and arranged for people to go there to deploy.
"Do you think their intelligence department has the ability to decipher our secret messages?" Prince Asaka put down his wrist, turned his head and looked at his chief of staff, then added, "Let me say here, even if they have the ability to research the plan in just eight days, and even if they do, do they have the ability to organize people to come here?"
This……
The chief of staff didn't know what to say. Should he say that they did have it? That would be to undermine other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige.
But if I don’t say it, what will I do if something really happens?
"Don't worry. I have mobilized a squadron of troops to surround the area within a radius of 200 meters. They can't get in. In addition, I ordered the three sides of the memorial platform to be surrounded, and the defense in front has been pushed forward 500 meters. Do you think they still have a chance?"
Their target was the special envoy, but the envoy was blocked on the left, right and back by the cloth. Even if it was the front, there were many soldiers and officers to escort him, so he would not have any problem.
"Your Excellency is right." The chief of staff was helpless. It was useless to say anything now. He could only hope that there was really no problem over there.
Although he said this, he still went to the radio soldier. He needed to know the situation there at all times.
If an emergency occurs, don't worry about anything else and just take the Special Envoy to a safe place.
The special envoy is already here. No matter whether the enemy knows it or not, there is no need to hide. The chief of staff directly gave orders to the signalman, inquiring about the situation at the memorial venue.
There is no room for error. A major general, three colonels, seven or eight majors, and officers from the Special High Technology Department. If any one of them is gone, it will be a loss to the empire.
The radio soldier sent the message directly, but there was no response from the other end.
This made the chief of staff feel a little uneasy. No one would dare not respond to the telegram sent from here.
"Ask." The chief of staff took a deep breath and suppressed his inner panic.
"Report, still no response." The radio soldier called again without success and could only report that they could not get in touch.
The chief of staff's fingers were trembling slightly. He had another idea, that is, they are busy now, but the possibility of this is not very high.
"Contact the Suzhou City Defense Command immediately and ask them to send someone to check it out." The chief of staff was silent for a moment. Now, the only thing he could hope for was for the people who stayed in Suzhou to go over quickly and see what the situation was.
The chief of staff didn't dare to leave. He had to get accurate information before he could rest assured.
Prince Asaka was not as worried as the chief of staff. He believed that his deployment was foolproof. At the same time, he also believed that the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary army would definitely give him a satisfactory answer. As long as he handed in this answer, he would be able to crush Matsui Iwane. At the same time, it would also make some people in the country look at him with new eyes, and they would not say that they could have what they have today because of the royal family.
It was half past nine. Counting it all, everything was over. Chaoxiang put the teacup in her hand aside and looked at the adjutant beside her; "Send a telegram to the special envoy in my name. I have prepared a banquet at the headquarters to entertain the special envoy and his entourage."
"Hi." The adjutant bowed and nodded, preparing to leave, and coincidentally, the chief of staff who came in heard the words "banquet for the special envoy".
He took a deep breath and looked at Prince Asaka in front of him; "No need. They won't come."
