Chapter 173 Fate
Ouyang Jian went to the First Prison to visit his fiancée Lu Wenting through Song Ziwen and Lao Jiang's special approval. Early in the morning, Ouyang Jian deliberately retouched himself and changed into a new set of general uniforms. As expected, the day before, the Nationalist Government deliberately revealed the news in the newspapers, saying that the Nationalist Government, at the request of General Ouyang, had decided to allow him to visit his detained fiancée Yunyun. This move shows that the national government is lenient and respectful of people, and creating public opinion is nothing more than whitewashing Lao Jiang. Invisibly, this news was also revealed to Japanese agents, and Shinobu Kuai thought that the time had come.
Mu Shixiong personally led the special combat team members to escort them to the gate of the No. 1 Prison, and after several cars stopped, Ouyang Jian got out of the car in military uniform. In order to protect Ouyang Jian's safety, the Nanjing garrison dispatched military police to set up a cordon on the periphery of the prison, and the idle people could not get close to the prison gate at all, and the reporters had to watch and take pictures from a distance. After Ouyang Jian got out of the car, he looked up at the gloomy prison wall, and was slightly excited in his heart, but his expression couldn't be seen. Mu Shixiong took the first step to deploy police forces inside, and then Ouyang Jian entered the prison gate. The prison warden greeted him with trepidation and personally introduced him, and went straight to the courtyard where Lu Wenting lived.
At this time, Lu Wenting stood in the courtyard and waited quietly. In the morning, Lu Wenting received the news that Ouyang Jian was coming to visit, and she was so excited that she couldn't control herself, she changed into a white cheongsam, and made up to make her bloodless face look ruddy. In addition, she tied her hair up with a red head rope to make her look young and clean. The prison guards in front of the small courtyard were replaced by special combat personnel, and Ouyang Jian pushed the door to enter. Under the sun, Lu Wenting is slim and beautiful, and the beauty is dizzying. looked at each other, and suddenly Wen Ting's eyes were full of tears. "Wen Ting, you have suffered!" Ouyang Jian naturally stretched out his arms, and Lu Wenting threw herself into her arms and sobbed sadly.
At this moment, Ouyang Jian understood Wen Ting's mood, and any superfluous words were nonsense, so he had to hug Wen Ting tightly and let her vent the sadness in her heart. The slightly trembling body looked thin and pitiful, and soon tears soaked the clothes on his chest. I don't know how long it took, Wen Ting stopped sobbing and raised her head to stare at Ouyang Jian. "Wen Ting, the dawn has appeared, the days of suffering are coming to an end, I want to give you all the compensation." "Ouyang, this isn't a dream!" Wen Ting muttered to herself, happily burying her head into Ouyang Jian's arms again.
"Wen Ting, this is not a dream, it is the beginning of a new era. You are a strong woman, and your weak body bears both mental and physical torment. When I think of how much you were tormented in prison, my heart is often wrenched. Now everything is okay and we are never apart. "Ouyang, it was you who gave me the strength to persevere, every time I heard your news, whenever I heard the news that you led the Red Army warriors to victory after victory, I am proud and proud of you. Death is not terrible to me, because you have sublimated my soul. ”
Wen Ting raised her head and fell in love, her eyes full of deep love. "Look at your pear blossoms with rain, please throw away your sadness, today is a happy day, let us welcome a new life together." Ouyang Jian said and handed the handkerchief to Wen Ting. Wen Ting was a little embarrassed to take out a small mirror and carefully wipe her tears, and muttered, "Am I particularly ugly?" "No! In my mind, you will always be a goddess. After Ouyang Jian finished speaking, he took Wen Ting's hand and entered the house. After both of them sat down, Ouyang Jian still didn't let go, as if he was worried that Wen Ting would suddenly disappear from in front of him.
Wen Ting felt very happy and blushed, adding a touch of charm. "Ouyang, tell me how you have fought in the north and south in the past few years, I want to hear everything!" Wen Ting's big talking eyes showed longing. "Starting from the uprising of your quilt shop and the security regiment in Yunshui County, ・・・・・・. Ouyang Jian's voice is very magnetic and very attractive. The accompanying eloquent description seems to be calm, but Wen Ting is thrilling to hear, and her hazy battle scenes seem to appear in front of her eyes. Wen Ting was attentive and drunk, and the expression on her face unfolded with the story.
At this moment, Wen Ting was silent in great happiness, and Ouyang Jian also poured out his worries and thoughts in another way through retrospective. However, where did they think that danger was quietly approaching?
As usual, Shinobu Kui drove a donkey cart to deliver food to the prison every day, and more than 20 days passed without arousing any suspicion. These days, the warden has asked to bring in some fruit from outside. Because of Kujing Shinobu's friendship with prison logistics during this time, he often gave seasonal vegetables to manage logistics, and Kuai Shinobu was good at camouflage, and often Xiao En Xiaohui mixed up and down with a familiar face. Although the quantity of fruit delivered to the prison was limited, the price was good, and this good thing naturally fell to Shinobu Kui. In fact, it was Zhong Wenjuan who ordered the fruit to be sent, and for this reason, she personally provided a sum of money to the prison for Lu Wenting's personal enjoyment.
In the past few days, after Kuai Shinobu finished unloading the vegetables, he carried the fruit basket to the door of the small courtyard where Lu Wenting lived, handed the fruit to the sentry who guarded the door and left, he was not qualified to enter the small courtyard, so it would not arouse any suspicion. There are two watermelons in the melon fruit and plum peach purchased by Shinobu Kuai today, and due to the hot weather, the watermelon can cool off. Shinobu Kui can't carry any weapons, and the secret is in the watermelon, which places a special bomb with a huge explosion power. Airborne Shinobu came to the door of the small courtyard with a basket, and then twisted the tail of a watermelon, which means that the time bomb starts to time, and the time is 5 minutes.
The 5-minute time is carefully calculated to ensure that the watermelon is delivered to the owner. Since the weather was very hot, Ouyang Jian's subordinates would quickly send watermelons in. Shinobu Kui put down the basket and nodded and walked away, without arousing the slightest suspicion. Mu Shixiong carefully inspected the door and then went in with the basket and handed it to the pony in front of the house. Xiao Ma carried the basket into the house and put it on the table opposite and said excitedly: "Commander, Miss Lu, the fresh fruit is here, the weather is really hot, just so I will kill a watermelon for you to go to the summer." ”
"Ouyang, in the past few days, the prison has been sending fruit every day, this is a blessing to you." Wen Ting said happily. Ouyang Jian immediately became alert when he heard this, and his eyes aimed at the fruit in the basket. "Look, the watermelon is not big and heavy!" The pony picks up the watermelon and mutters. Ouyang Jian realized that it was not good and shouted, "Throw away the watermelon and run!" After speaking, he took Wen Ting's hand and shot out of the door. The pony reacted quickly and realized the danger but did not lose the watermelon, it was his duty to protect Ouyang Jian's safety, only to see him quickly lie down and press the watermelon under him. Ouyang Jian took Wen Ting's hand and just ran to the door, only to hear a violent explosion, and the two of them were immediately swept out by the air wave.
The sound of the explosion shook the earth, and before the smoke of the explosion dissipated, Ouyang Jian hurriedly checked Wen Ting, only to see her eyes closed tightly and unconscious. "Wen Ting, Wen Ting!" At this time, Ouyang Jian felt that the hand holding his back was wet, and when he took it, he saw that it was blood. Ouyang Jian didn't say a word, picked up Wen Ting and rushed out. Mu Shixiong was outside the door when the bomb exploded, and this shock was not trivial. Mu Shixiong led his subordinates to rush into the courtyard, and when he saw that Ouyang Jian was holding Wen Ting unharmed, he ordered his team members to protect the commander and rush out. Soon, several cars went straight to the hospital, and Ouyang Jian hugged Lu Wenting in the car, and silently thought in his heart, Wen Ting, you must hold on.
Soon, Lu Wenting woke up and opened her eyes, silently stared at Ouyang Jian, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then slowly closed her eyes. In front of the emergency room of the hospital, Ouyang Jiantie blushed and blamed himself deeply. At this time, a doctor came out of the emergency room and said carefully: "General Ouyang, the shrapnel entered the heart from the left chest, Miss Lu, she is very unlucky, we have tried our best to ask the general to mourn." Ouyang Jian entered the rescue room, and saw that Lu Wenting's peaceful face seemed to be asleep, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth. Is this fate? Is it destined to be a tragedy? He gently took Wen Ting's hand, and a line of sad tears flowed out.
"Commander, Vice Chairman Zhou and Mr. Song have arrived!" Mu Shixiong came in to report, only to see Enlai and Song Ziwen walking in one after the other. When the two saw Lu Wenting's body, they mourned for a few minutes and said bitterly: "Brother Ouyang, please mourn, now it is certain that the Japanese did it, the target is you, and its purpose is to sabotage the peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party." Song Ziwen said: "General Ouyang, the president asked me to take him to apologize and ask Ouyang Jiang Jun to mourn." The president has ordered the whole city to conduct a large-scale search to arrest the murderer. "Now I understand, I am the only one in Operation Sakura, and I hurt Wen Ting."
Wen Ting's body was transported back to the delegation's residence, and Ouyang Jian and Mu Shixiong went to another room. "Commander, the pony's belly and chest have been blown up, and we've sorted out his body with only the head and lower limbs. Ponies are good, use their bodies to suppress the bomb in a critical moment, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, and I blame my carelessness. Ouyang Jian lifted the white cloth and found that the pony's face was dark and he couldn't distinguish his original appearance. Ouyang Jian stared silently, the voice and smile of the pony appeared in front of him, and he closed his eyes in pain. Then Ouyang Jian returned to Wen Ting's body, saw Mu Shixiong following him and said, "You go out, I have nothing to do, let me stay alone for a while." ”
Three days later, the bodies of Wen Ting and Xiaoma were buried in Nanjing Cemetery, Enlai personally delivered a eulogy, and the Republic of China government officials were present with Lao Jiang's wife Song Meiling, who came on behalf of Lao Jiang. In addition, Sun Yat-sen's wife Song Qingling, Song Ziwen, He Yingqin and other prominent figures came to the funeral. Wen Ting's inscription reads: Beloved wife Lu Wenting, husband Ouyang Jianli, June 28, 21st year of the Republic of China. The people dispersed one after another, and when Enlai saw Ouyang Jian still standing next to the tombstone, he said to Mu Shixiong: "Let him stay a little longer!" ”
Zhong Wenjuan silently walked up to Ouyang Jian, her eyes were red and her voice was hoarse: "Cousin, if you scold me, maybe I will feel better, blame me, I gave the fruit." Ouyang Jian gently held Zhong Wenjuan's shoulder and said, "I don't blame you, it's me who was too careless." This is our opponent, a group of vicious enemies. Only by eradicating them can more people enjoy peace and happiness. Since God let me escape, let my blood be sprinkled on the battlefield of resistance against Japan. ”
In the Hongyun Roman Inn in the Shanghai Public Concession, Shinobu Kujing's face once again showed depression. After such a thorough plan but the operation failed again, Kazuo Watanabe sighed and said, "At present, the national government is pointing the finger at us, and European and American societies are also exerting pressure, and His Majesty the Emperor reprimands the cabinet for its incompetence. The headquarters decided to cancel the assassination plan, but the dispatch plan continued. In the future, intelligence warfare will be our main task. Kawashima Yoshiko said leisurely: "Ouyang Jian escaped a catastrophe, this is the will of heaven. There is a Chinese proverb that says that if you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing, and Ouyang Jian will be the most terrible enemy of the Japanese Empire in the future. ”
Yoshiko Kawashima continued: "Through the analysis of the signs of the KMT-CCP negotiations, the base camp believes that there are many people in the Nationalist Government, especially Chiang Kai-shek, who is unwilling to join forces with the Communists, which is good news for the Japanese Empire. In the future, how to create friction between the KMT and the CCP is our main task. Looking at the back of Yoshiko Kawashima leaving, Kazuo Watanabe said: "Kujing-kun, you have done your best, and the base camp ordered you to go back to Tokyo." "I'm going back to set up a special combat team, and see if the special combat team of the Great Japanese Empire is powerful or Ouyang Jian's special combat team is powerful!" Kui Shinobu said indignantly.
Because of the assassination, it shook Nanjing and even the whole country. As a result, the Nationalist Government was criticized by public opinion, and the negotiations were delayed again, and the two sides agreed to start anew in August.
