Chapter 348: Successful Evacuation (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Kuroki Yue looked at the manuscript in front of him, and immediately became interested, he immediately picked up the thick manuscript and read it carefully.
The overall effect is as good as he imagined, the whole manuscript has clear paragraphs, the main line is clear, the plot is fascinating, the writing is smooth, and the ordinary shows extraordinary literary skills, and the most important thing is that this excellent calligraphy, strong and powerful, dusty, neat and upright makes people unable to release the volume.
"Great!" As soon as Kuroki Yue put down the manuscript, he couldn't help but clap his hands and praise, "Fujiwara-kun, General Uehara will definitely be very satisfied, I will inform him here, I believe he is also anxious to see this manuscript." ”
After finishing speaking, he picked up the phone and dialed out, and after receiving a positive answer, the two of them immediately went out and ran directly to the garrison headquarters.
Half an hour later, after entering the hall of the headquarters after many checkpoints, Ning Zhiheng found that the scene in the headquarters was very different from the previous two times, there were many more officers in the corridor and in the hall, each of them was in a hurry, and the pace was also much faster, and the atmosphere of the entire headquarters was obviously tense.
Kuroki Yueyi was also very sensitive to this, and couldn't help but whisper: "This phenomenon is not normal, could it be that something is happening." ”
Ning Zhiheng naturally knew why, this must be a series of chain reactions caused by the Lugou Bridge Incident, and soon the war between China and Japan will be transferred here.
They soon arrived at Junpei Uehara's office, and when they saw Junpei Uehara this time, his expression was much more serious than before.
Seeing the two people coming in, Junpei Uehara showed a rare smile on his face, he put down the phone in his hand, got up and let the two people to the tea party on the side, and said: "Receiving a call from Kuroki-kun, I really didn't expect that Fujiwara-kun has already completed the sorting of the manuscript, I thought it would take at least half a month, Fujiwara-kun, it's really hard!" ”
"You're so kind! Your Excellency, General! This is your original manuscript. Ning Zhiheng bowed and saluted.
Kuroki Yueichi put the manuscript in front of him and said with a smile, "Uehara-kun, take a look, I can guarantee that you will be very satisfied." ”
When Junpei Uehara heard this, his eyes lit up, and he quickly opened the manuscript and flipped through it, and at first glance he was attracted by this extremely beautiful line, and the next content certainly did not disappoint him, but he only felt that his original manuscript had undergone this revision, and he really said his heart, but he didn't have such a good ability to express himself, and now he doesn't seem to be extremely satisfied.
He read it for a long time before he put down the manuscript, looked at Ning Zhiheng, and said sincerely: "Fujiwara-kun, thank you!" ”
Ning Zhiheng hurriedly bowed down and said, "You are too polite!" ”
Just when Junpei Uehara wanted to say something again, the phone on the desk rang, he hurriedly walked a few steps, came to the desk and picked up the phone, and soon his brows furrowed, and after a while, he put down the phone and pondered for a moment.
Only then did he return to the tea table, looked at Ning Zhiheng and said: "Fujiwara-kun, Kuroki-kun, it is best for you to leave Shanghai temporarily during this time, especially now, the situation is turbulent, it is the time on the cusp, wait for a while, see the situation and come back." ”
When Kuroki Yue heard this, his heart tightened, he and Junpei Uehara had been friends for many years, and he knew Junpei Uehara very well, and he was able to say that there must have been some safety problems for them to leave Shanghai temporarily.
Ning Zhiheng also nodded secretly, this general Uehara is a caring person, and being able to do this is indeed to regard Kuroki Yueichi and himself as his confidants, and he even revealed a hint in advance.
Kuroki Yueichi said hesitantly: "Uehara-kun, will there be any changes in the situation in Shanghai?" ”
Junpei Uehara nodded, he still didn't want to put his friend in danger, so he lowered his voice and said: "In fact, this matter can't be hidden, soon you will know that three days ago we had a major conflict with the Chinese in the north, and the war between the two sides is about to break out, as the battlefield closest to the heart of the Chinese government, the Chinese will not sit idly by and watch us gather strength, so Shanghai is about to get involved in a war, and we have also begun to make active preparations, in order to deal with it, We are already ready to organize all the young adults of the appropriate age as a reserve, Kuroki-kun is okay to say, but Fujiwara-kun will definitely be arranged into the reserve, and this work will be carried out soon, so~"
Speaking of this, he sighed softly: "Maybe it's just a bullet, a shrapnel, Fujiwara-kun, you are still so young, you will definitely have a great future in the future, I don't want such a talented young man to be pushed onto the battlefield and be sacrificed worthlessly!" ”
Junpei Uehara greatly appreciated Ning Zhiheng's literary talent, especially Ning Zhiheng fulfilled his long-cherished wish for many years, so he never wanted Ning Zhiheng to take such a risk, so he revealed a little bit of the inside story.
Kuroki Yueyi and Ning Zhiheng's faces both showed surprise at the same time, the difference was that Kuroki Yueyi was really shocked that the situation had reached this level, but Ning Zhiheng had expected it.
However, he was still a little disappointed in his heart, and originally thought that with this manuscript, he would contact Junpei Uehara more and see if there was a chance to get some valuable information from him, but now, he must leave the Japanese occupation zone, otherwise he would be conscripted by the Japanese and pushed to the battlefield to become cannon fodder, which would be too wronged.
It seems that his mission in Shanghai has been completed for the time being, but fortunately, Fujiwara Tomohito's identity has been preserved intact, and he can come back again in the future, and he can still make a difference.
This time I met with Junpei Uehara, the time was very short, and many affairs made Junpei Uehara busy immediately, and Yueichi Kuroki and Ning Zhiheng also got up to say goodbye.
On the way back, Kuroki Yueyi didn't say a word, his expression was very heavy, Ning Zhiheng knew that he was in a bad mood, and he didn't know how to comfort him, so he didn't say much.
It wasn't until he returned to the South House that Kuroki Yueyi called Ning Zhiheng to his office.
"Fujiwara-kun, although I had long guessed that this day would come, I didn't expect things to develop so quickly, it's a pity!
I need to deal with the follow-up of the library immediately, which will take some time, and the recruitment is about to take place, and you will have to leave Shanghai in these two days. ”
Speaking of this, Kuroki Yueyi took out a stack of thick banknotes from the drawer, put them in front of Ning Zhiheng, and said solemnly: "We have been together for too short, I don't know if we can see each other again this time, and I don't know if we can come back to Shanghai?" Under the fires of war, maybe even this library will be in ruins, Fujiwara-kun, please take care! ”
A trace of sadness also rose in Ning Zhiheng's heart, Kuroki Yueyi is a real scholar, he is disgusted with soldiers and war, and for Ning Zhiheng, he really treats him as a junior, and this time the difference may be the last time we will meet.
Ning Zhiheng took the stack of banknotes, bowed deeply, and said sadly: "I will leave Shanghai as soon as possible, thank you for your care during this time, and please take care, I look forward to the day when I reunite with you." ”
The two shook hands with each other and said goodbye, Ning Zhiheng returned to his office, looked around, took off the calligraphy and painting that hung on the wall, and carefully put it away.
He went downstairs and said goodbye to several colleagues one by one, only saying that there was an urgent matter at home and he needed to return to China immediately to get along with everyone.
Then he rushed to the shipping company and bought a ticket to return to Japan that night, all this for the sake of insurance, he had to leave a trace of leaving Shanghai. Otherwise, if you disappear for no reason, if you want to come back in the future, you will have to spend a lot of time.
On the way back, he saw a group of people watching something on the street in front of him, Ning Zhiheng didn't want to do much, and was about to turn around and detour.
"Fujiwara-kun, why are you here?" A call came.
Ning Zhiheng heard someone calling him, so he turned his head and saw that it was Yoshimura Masakazu in a police uniform.
"Yoshimura-kun?" Ning Zhiheng hurriedly stepped forward and said hello, "Are you on duty?" ”
Yoshimura Masakazu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "It's not on duty, it's out of the scene, there was an accident, the door number shelf of the roadside shop fell, and it happened to knock down a pedestrian, and he died on the spot, let's come to deal with it." ”
Ning Zhiheng knew what those people were watching just now, and said in a deep voice: "It's really unfortunate, do you know who it is?" ”
"It's a staff member of the household registration management office, there is no way to do this kind of thing, and such a thing can happen while walking on the side of the road, this kid's luck is really bad!" Yoshimura Masakazu also said with some emotion.
A staff member of the Family Registration Office? Ning Zhiheng's heart moved, it was no surprise that Ji Hongyi should have done it, he started so soon after the transaction, and he really did it neatly, he was really a good hand.
At this time, Yoshimura Masakazu suddenly saw the ferry ticket in Ning Zhiheng's hand, his face tightened, and he asked a little nervously: "Fujiwara-kun, where are you going?" ”
Ning Zhiheng had no choice but to explain: "There are some things at home that let me go back to China immediately, and I just went to buy the ferry ticket." ”
"You're going back home? So fast? Yoshimura Masakazu couldn't help but be a little anxious, his family still wanted to marry his sister to this Fujiwara Tomohito, but after all, the time they got along was too short, and Fujiwara Tomohito's status as a nobleman, he had always had scruples, but before it started, this person was about to return home.
"Yes, I just decided, so I went to buy a ticket." Ning Zhiheng said.
Yoshimura Masakazu didn't know what to say, he said disappointedly: "Go home for dinner at noon, let's see you off!" This, what a surprise! ”
At noon, Ning Zhiheng rushed back to his residence and had a send-off meal with the Yoshimura family, Kumiko didn't speak during the banquet, just bowed her head and didn't say anything, everyone also knew the reason, but they didn't say anything, after all, the original identity was very different, commoners and nobles intermarried, and it was possible to match in China, but when you return to China, it will be very difficult.
In the evening, the family sent Ning Zhiheng on the boat, so they were reluctant to leave, but no one noticed that not long before the boat, a man dressed as a crew member hurriedly got off the boat in the crowd, walked quickly to the side of the road, and got into a car.
"Team Leader!"
"Arrange for me to cross the river at once!"
"Yes!"
