Rise From Eight Hundred

Chapter 1377 Stunned!

 The soldiers who came to pick up Tang Dao were two army colonels!

One is an army colonel from the Ministry of Military Affairs and Chief of Staff. His military rank and position are equivalent to Tang Dao, and Tang Dao was ordered to report to the Ministry of Military Affairs, which is very legal.

But another army colonel with an ordinary appearance but a gloomy temperament has a very strange background. His name is the captain of the Shancheng Detective Team, and his surname is Shen.

The so-called detective team is just a force under the military commander, and judging from the fact that this army colonel is only a few years older than himself, he has such a high position at such a young age and his surname is Shen, it is already clear who he is.

 As soon as he takes action, he becomes one of the four great kings under his command. Director Dai really thinks highly of him!

"Why, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Military Investigation Commission are working together now?" Tang Dao faced the two colleagues at the same level who had introduced themselves, but he didn't even give a symbolic return, but straight to the point and asked.

An unruffled coercion instantly pressed down on the two army colonels opposite.

Feeling the coldness of Tang Tuanzuo, Ming Xin and Pang Zilong, who were standing only two meters away from Tang Dao, did not make any move, but the fighting intent in their eyes showed that as long as Tang Dao gave an order, these two China's elite will not hesitate, and I, the King of Heaven, will kill them without hesitation.

The soldiers who jumped out of the truck felt the unreserved hostility of the three men. Their expressions changed and they involuntarily clenched the guns in their hands. That was the only thing ordinary people could do when faced with an overwhelming threat.

"At that moment, I really felt the threat of death. If I answered carelessly, Tang Dao would really kill people." Those were the exact words Colonel Shen reported to the thick-browed and big-eyed middle-aged man with lingering fears in the evening.

"Tang Dao never left the front line from Songhu to Jinan. The blood of the Japanese on his hands was not only 100,000 but also 80,000. Such a killing god, let alone let him feel that you will be detrimental to him, he will If you are tempted to kill, I will probably kill you without fail!" The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes answered his subordinates calmly.

"This is the real Tang Dao. If others pretend to be it, it has its form but not its spirit."

"Captain Tang, please don't get me wrong. Minister He has received information from the Investigation Bureau before you arrived, saying that there are Japanese spies who want to harm you. He has specifically applied to the Investigation Bureau for strength to protect you. Captain Shen is Director Dai is a capable officer, and he will be fully responsible for your safety in the mountain city." Seeing Tang Dao's anger, the Colonel and Chief of Staff of the Military and Political Department quickly explained.

"Commander Tang, please don't be surprised. The military and political departments are all soldiers of the country. The goal of mobilizing the security forces is too obvious. Commander Tang, you don't have much freedom of movement in the mountain city. Our detective team usually acts in plain clothes and only knows what's nearby." Protection will never be an obstacle to Commander Tang's visit to relatives and friends in the mountain city!" Colonel Shen, the military commander, also said.

"Since it is the arrangement made by Chief He and Chief Dai, I am overly concerned. Please forgive me. Tang Dao and his brothers have been on the front line for a long time. They are all faced with wolves, tigers and leopards like the Japanese invaders. It has become a common practice to use knives and guns. Get used to it." Tang Dao lost his momentum and raised his hand to return the military salute.

 Good guy! If you apologize, then apologize. Why is it customary to use knives and guns even though you know your lines? And those jackals, tigers, and leopards, don’t just refer to the Japanese! The colonel and chief of staff of the Military and Political Department silently wiped cold sweat. No wonder when he came, Minister He, who was so busy, called him to tell him not to offend this man who had returned from the front line.

The officers of the Military and Political Department who were originally responsible for commanding the national army felt that they were superior to others. Let alone an army colonel like Tang Dao, he was a major general and lieutenant general. Who came to the Military and Political Department to do business, and his face was not as warm as the spring breeze in March?

It turned out to be good when Tang Dao came up, and he said, "I am a porcupine. If a lion or tiger wants to eat us, it will have to be pierced with thorns!" ’, the key point is that it is really the case.

The Colonel and Chief of Staff of the Military and Political Department had an intuition that if a conflict really broke out, Commander Tang Da, who was opposite him, could use him as a shield like an eagle catching a chicken. The guy behind Commander Tang Da, who was carrying a big sword, could , able to split Captain Shen in half with two guns hidden in his body with one sword.

If Tang Dao could know what this person was thinking, he would definitely look at him differently. He guessed at least half of it.

But if a conflict really breaks out, he will be the shield instead of King Shen. The first armed guards who come are from the military command and not from the Ministry of Military Affairs. The next step is to kill him and there may be room for change, but killing Shen Kingang , Director Dai has to risk his life with Tang Dao. Their status in the hearts of their respective bosses is very different.

He is a typical person who overestimated himself and underestimated Tang Dao. Fortunately, he was engaged in management in the Military and Political Department. If he was placed on the front line, he would be at the company commander level.

After leaving the airport, several trucks pulling Mengbu formed a convoy. At a fork in the road, they split into three roads and drove into Shancheng City. Even if someone knew that Tang Dao had arrived in Shancheng, no one knew which truck Tang Dao was in. .

To everyone's surprise, the four Tang Dao people, who had already changed into casual clothes in the car, were sent to the best hotel in the center of Shancheng City. Not only was the hotel in good condition, it also had an independent underground air-raid shelter, and there was a security guard at the gate. Guard box and armed guard.

 In wartime, it is not only rare to achieve such a perfect integration of safety and luxury at any time, but also requires a profound background.

"This is the property of Minister Song's family. It only receives famous people in the country. Minister He personally greeted you. However, due to confidentiality reasons, you are not Captain Tang here, but Manager Liu, who evacuated here from the southeast. Entrepreneur." Shen Jingang explained to Tang Dao.

"Okay! I'm hiding in the mountains and forests, and I'm hiding in the city. I'd like to thank the two officers and Captain Shen for their trouble." Tang Dao nodded and smiled.

 The military commander was able to develop into Asia's largest intelligence agency in just a few years. In addition to the director who spent all his financial resources to build it, Director Dai's mind and ability were also one of the main factors.

Like the practice of placing Tang Dao directly in a luxury hotel in the city center, the main idea is to do the opposite, and it seems to have no connection with the military.

Of course, hearing that it is owned by the Song family, I am afraid that there is also the factor of giving money to Minister Song. Just looking at the luxurious decoration inside the room, I am afraid that the room fee for the four people staying here will cost a lot, and even more Not to mention other consumption, I'm afraid all of this will have to be settled at public expense.

 At one fell swoop, I can only say that Director Dai is the best among men.

"Outside the hotel, our detective team will have 24 people working in three shifts 24 hours a day to monitor all suspicious situations. This is my phone number. If Captain Tang finds anything in the hotel, you can call me." Shen Jinjiang took out his pen and said, Write a string of phone numbers on a piece of white paper and hand it to Tang Dao.

"Before I report to the commander on the frontline battle situation, how will I arrange my trip?" Tang Dao took the white paper and asked seemingly casually.

"As long as you don't wear military uniforms and swagger through the city, you are free to arrange it, Commander Tang. Although the Japanese have planted spies in the mountain city, due to the efforts of my brothers in the Investigation Bureau in the past two years, only a few have slipped through the net. , It’s not as sinister as you imagined, Commander Tang.” In his own field, Shen Jingang showed his confidence in Tang Dao for the first time.

However, the subtext is to tell Tang Dao that they are not enemies. The military commander is responsible for Tang Dao's safety, not restricting Tang Dao's freedom.

"Okay! Thank you Captain Shen. If Captain Shen comes to visit southeastern Shanxi or southern Hebei in the future, I, Tang Dao, will do my best to serve as a landlord!" Tang Dao smiled and held Shen Jingang's hand and shook it.

“I don’t dare to take it seriously. They are all serving the country.” Shen Jingang’s attitude is also very modest.

After the atmosphere had completely calmed down, the two of them even ordered some wine and food in the hotel room. Each of them drank nearly half a catty of liquor. Both of them were also good talkers. During the dinner, they chatted about the country, people's livelihood, and the war, and they had a lot of fun. An old friend I hadn’t seen for many years, it wasn’t until 10 o’clock at night that Shen Jin just said goodbye and left.

"Sir, it seems that the danger in the mountain city is not as great as previously thought. The Ministry of Military Affairs did not closely monitor us." Pang Zilong couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tang Dao's relaxed expression.

This young Chinese elite is not afraid of the Japanese and will kill them if he dares, but the thought of being dealt with by his own people doesn't always make him feel that way.

"Haha! Nothing in this world is born out of nothing. When you stand in the light, there are shadows behind you. It's so quiet in the middle of the night because you haven't heard the sound yet." Tang Dao stood in the shadow covered by the curtains of the window. , looking at the few lights outside the window, his face was much heavier than before.

The largest intelligence agency under his command has minions all over China, and even an army lieutenant general will be arrested at any time. When has he ever been so tolerant to an "arrogant and domineering" little army colonel?     Great achievements in battle? If this was more than a year ago, it might still be of some use, but since the relationship between the United States and Japan has dropped to a freezing point, that man has embraced the United States ecstatically, and a steady stream of aid is about to be shipped from the Asan Kingdom to China. It is no longer so indispensable.

 It won’t be long before Captain Shen will report everything that happened after meeting Tang Dao at the airport to his immediate superior! Only in this way can Director Dai, who is suspicious by nature, truly believe that it was Tang Dao himself who came to the mountain city in person, and not an impostor.

 The so-called freedom of movement is just talk!

Tang Dao stood in the shadow of the light, staring silently into the distance. 380 meters away, there were two groups of gunmen lurking in the houses, staring here in the darkness. The distance of 380 meters, even on the battlefield, could be listed. For the existence of sharpshooters!

In order to deal with Tang Dao, the army took action in two groups!

It is said that the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, this is exactly what it says! Tang Dao's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. So what if he, a visitor from another time and space who was about to become his father, had to fight with the big shots who turned their hands to make clouds and rain? The emperor was willing to cut his body off and pull him off his horse?

"There are people standing guard for us outside. We have been working hard for the past two days. Let's continue to take a good rest in the past two days. I will take you to visit the mountain city in two days. Uncle Han, don't leave in a hurry. I have already informed my father. I will send someone to pick you up in the mountain city, and you can also check out the apprentice I found for you." Tang Dao waved his hand and drove away Pang Zilong who was about to set up his sniper point in the room.

“Instructor Ming, what do you mean by what the leader just said?” Pang Zilong was still a little confused when he thought of what Tang Dao had just said.

"In this troubled world, there are mostly demons, most of them in human form. But if they appear, I have a sword to kill them all!" Mingxin sat cross-legged in the corner of the room, putting the master's heavy sword with its sheath on his lap. , replied lightly.

 Pang Zilong.

Is this kind of arrogant style of conversation popular now? Pang Zilong felt that he was running out of brains.

 It’s better to be on the front line! No need to use your brain, use the battlefield environment to hide yourself, shoot a little devil with one shot, snap, simple and neat!

 However, people will always grow up, and as their status and experience change, the responsibilities they shoulder will become greater and greater.

Many years later, when Pang Zilong, who led thousands of people across the green river, recalled the soldier in his youth who scratched his head because of the paradoxical words of his commander, would he also sigh with emotion?

  . . . . . . . . . .

 In the next few days, Chief He of the Military and Political Department must have been extremely busy, and he did not notify Tang Dao to report to the Military and Political Department.

The next day after arriving in the mountain city, Tang Dao called the little foreign girl who was already living in the consulate area, but the little foreign girl said that she was entertaining important guests, and the two agreed to meet again in three days.

Fan Shaozeng, another old acquaintance of Shancheng, is no longer in Shancheng. After Tang Dao's suggestion, this woman took the wife's route and obtained the military position of lieutenant general by raising military expenses by herself, and formed the famous 88th Army in the future. .

Just like in the past, Commander Fan spent all his wealth to recruit 4 soldiers of the security regiment. He swore an oath to fight in the mountain city last year, and left a sentence: "In the past, fighting civil wars only harmed the people. This time to resist the Japanese invasion, I will lose everything." , I will fight with you to drive away the Japanese.”

After one year of the Anti-Japanese War, Commander Fan Da, who was determined to fight against Japan, swept away the bad luck of his grandmother not being close to him and his uncle not loving him during those two years. The 88th Army was awarded by the Ministry of Military Affairs and dozens of medals and medals at all levels issued by the Military Commission, and was upgraded to a military unit. 3 divisions of the A Corps.

The family members of Commander Guo and Commander Rao are not in the mountain city but in their old residence far away from the city. Even if Tang Dao, a junior from the Sichuan Army, wants to visit, he knows that it is difficult to do so in the current situation.

He can wander around the mountain city. If he leaves, the military command and the Ministry of Military Affairs will not be very nervous. It is not that they are afraid of Tang Dao running away, but that the mountain city is still under their control, but outside the mountain city, spies and traitors can't It was all over the place, and Tang Dao didn't want to cause that trouble.

Just treat it as a tourist vacation. Tang Dao and the four of them wore casual clothes and went to visit the famous Ciqikou Old Street and Hongya Cave in the mountain city.

At that time, Hongyadong was far from the brightly lit atmosphere of the future merchants. However, as an important military location in ancient times, it formed many historical sites including Jiangai Fort, Ming Dynasty city wall, ancient pavilion temple, academy legacy, Xinhai Monument, etc. The ruins are also one of the twelve scenic spots in Bayu, "Hongya Dicui".

As Tang Dao, who has experienced walking through mountains and seas in the future just to see the sea of ​​people, standing in front of these ancient cliffs and dilapidated stilted buildings built on the mountains, the feeling could not be more mysterious.

However, what is more attractive than seeing the scenery is the food.

 Shancheng’s authentic tripe hotpot is famous for its thick flavor and heavy oil. The traditional soup is prepared with Pixian spicy bean paste, Yongchuan tempeh, Ganzi butter, and Hanyuan peppercorns as raw materials. First, put the butter into a pot with high heat and boil it. Then chop the watercress and pour it in. After it boils into red oil, stir-fry the Sichuan peppercorns quickly, then mix it with the original beef stock, add the minced tempeh and crushed tempeh. Stew rock sugar, old ginger, Sichuan salt, fermented glutinous rice grains and small chili peppers.

 Let’s not talk about how it tastes, just seeing the production process is enough to make people feel excited.

In a small riverside shop near Hongyadong, even though it is early summer and the temperature in the mountain city has already exceeded 33 degrees, the four of them are shirtless, sweating profusely, and simmering fresh tripes in the hot pot. Call Shuangli.

Eating in this way attracted the attention of a lonely-looking middle-aged man in robes, his eyes full of envy.

 Obviously, for this person, although the way Tang Dao Four eats is quite indecent, having such a happy meal is also what a scholar like him wants.

It's a pity that he has no friends around him, and he has many things on his mind.

"Brother, if you don't mind, can you come and share a table with us? I see that the duck blood you ordered is extremely fresh, but the boss just told me that it has been sold out. Liu has not returned home for a long time and is very greedy. !" Tang Dao turned to greet the lonely diner.

"Okay! Not only do I have duck blood here, but I also have good wine!" The middle-aged man was startled for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. He leaned over and took out a bottle of Laobaigan wine from the package at his feet, and sat down boldly. Uncle Han took action.

This action alone showed that this middle-aged man had extremely high personal accomplishments. Although he could tell that Tang Dao was the most respected among the four, he did not choose to sit in the seat of Pang Zilong who had already given way to him. Instead, he chose to sit next to Uncle Han, who was already over sixty years old. This not only showed respect for the owner of Tang Dao, but also respect for the elderly.

The magnanimity is hidden in the details, and he quickly gained the favor of several people. Even those who spoke the least words and understood them all gave him a kind smile.

"This is a famous wine from my hometown. Let this old man and three younger brothers try it. It's a pity that Wang only has this bottle of such a good wine. He doesn't know when he wants to drink it again. "The middle-aged man unscrewed the bottle cap and looked at the wine from his hometown. He couldn't help but feel loneliness in his eyes.

Hometown has become an enemy-occupied area, and all the fellow villagers are at the mercy of the enemy. Anyone who thinks about it will be sad!

“So I’m from Pingbeicheng!” Tang Dao nodded and asked politely. "My surname is Liu Mingtao, from eastern Sichuan. I currently run a small business to make ends meet. These are my brothers who work with me. I don't know what I call you."

"My surname is Wang Mingzhu. Now I can barely do some small work in machining! Just like my brother, I can still support the family." The middle-aged man hesitated slightly, but saw the sincerity in Tang Dao's eyes before he spoke.

"Oh! Brother Wang, I toast you." Tang Dao picked up the wine glass and planned to toast a glass of wine first.

 But in an instant, Wang Zhu’s name was like a bolt of lightning, piercing the sky.

Tang Dao looked at the middle-aged man in his forties with two mustaches in front of him, dumbfounded!
