Chapter 1097: I Expected It
"Clang! Tick!! ”
The sound of the wheels of the train moving forward, neat and rhythmic, sounds very comfortable.
In the carriage, there was a lot of laughter.
Li Zhen, Chen Yucheng, Liu Jintang, Huang Qiang and others sat together, as well as Tang Huaide, A Shaman and other businessmen in Chinatown. Chen Yucheng, Liu Jintang and others had joy on their faces as they finally set foot on their way back to China. It has been nearly a year since they left the country, and they are very homesick, and the urgency in their hearts can be imagined.
As for Tang Huaide and A Shaman, there was a faint sadness on their faces.
Li Zhen is about to leave the Federation, which means separation.
Li Zhen's gaze swept over A Shaman and Tang Huaide, and said with a smile: "Old Tang, A Shaman, don't look sad. After I go back to China, I'm in China, you can come back, you can drink and talk together. ”
Asaman forced a smile to himself and said, "President, I'm not sad, I'm just reluctant. ”
Tang Huaide coughed lightly, and then said tightly: "President, the shaman is indeed reluctant to let you leave. His youngest daughter is twenty-eight years old, which is a good age for Huaichun. I wanted to introduce you to you, but unfortunately, you're leaving San Francisco again. ”
"Bastard!"
A shaman said angrily: "Lao Tzu's daughter has already married, you say, where is the youngest daughter?" ”
Tang Huaide said: "You know the reason. ”
Ashaman stared at Tang Huaide, clenched his fists, and looked like he was about to make a move. But everyone knows that this is impossible, and the relationship between the two is good.
The two competed with each other, which was quite funny, causing the people around them to laugh.
Obviously, Tang Huaide deliberately adjusted the atmosphere.
"Woo! Woo!! ”
Suddenly, the sound of a train's horn was heard.
The train slowed down and came to a slow stop. Tang Huaide looked outside, frowned and said, "It hasn't arrived at the station yet, it's still in the wilderness, why did it suddenly stop?" Could it be that something big is happening? After the train stopped, Li Zhen sent an entourage who followed Tang Huaide to inquire about the news.
Soon, the retinue returned.
The entourage ran back panting, stood still, and said solemnly: "President, the reason why the train stopped was that the army set up a card to block it. Now, the soldiers of the army have gotten into the car, and these soldiers have portraits in their hands and seem to be searching for people. As for the person in the portrait, I went to take a look, I couldn't recognize it, I don't know who it is? ”
Li Zhen frowned and said, "Go for another trip and ask who you are looking for?" ”
"Yes!"
The attendant went for another walk, and soon returned, saying, "President, the man the soldiers of the army are looking for is a man named Scott, who is looking from car to carriage, and will soon be in our carriage. ”
After Li Zhen heard this, he immediately laughed.
"Hahaha......"
Liu Jintang, Chen Yucheng and Huang Qiang also laughed loudly, looking very happy.
At the same time, when the three of them looked at Li Zhen, their eyes were full of admiration.
The president is a cow, and it has already been calculated!
"What to laugh at, what's funny, don't laugh!"
At the door of the carriage, the lieutenant colonel officer in military uniform had a straight face, his eyes fell on Li Zhen's body, and he said solemnly: "President Li, Commander Scott disappeared in Washington for no reason, Mr. President is worried about Commander Scott's safety, so he ordered us to look for it, please cooperate." Please get off the train for President Lee and all the others, and we'll be sure we don't have Commander Scott before we can get back into the car. ”
Li Zhen said: "Okay, I'll get out of the car!" ”
Immediately, Li Zhen took people off the train and waited on the side of the railway.
The lieutenant colonel officer asked the soldiers to check them one by one, but in the end they were disappointed.
He had already led people to search the entire train car, and in order to avoid Scott hiding in the crowd, he was searching car by car, and it was impossible for Scott to slip out. Now there is no one in Li Zhen's carriage, which means that Scott is not in this train at all. The lieutenant colonel officer looked at Li Zhen and wanted to arrest Li Zhen and go back for interrogation.
However, as soon as this thought arose, he suppressed his thoughts.
What is Li Zhen's identity?
If he dared to make a move, the soldiers around Li Zhen would never agree.
Moreover, he has no right to arrest Li Zhen.
The lieutenant colonel officer frowned, thought for a while, and finally said helplessly: "I have caused trouble to President Lee, please forgive President Lee." He raised his hand and gave a military salute to apologize, and decisively led his troops away.
Li Zhen returned to the carriage with the group, and soon, the wheels of the train turned, and the train started again, continuing towards San Francisco. Huang Qiang sat next to Li Zhen, and said with a smile: "President, you are still clever, and the soldiers of the Federation will come to search for it." If Mr. Scott were with us, it would be doomed. ”
Li Zhen nodded and said: "This is the beginning, Lincoln will not give up easily, and he must deal with it carefully." ”
Liu Jintang said: "With you, Lincoln will definitely be disappointed in the end." ”
A crowd of people laughed and laughed, but Tang Huaide, A Shaman and others were confused when they heard it.
Soon after the lieutenant colonel officer led the men away, he sent a telegram to Washington.
When the news reached Lincoln's ears, Lincoln almost went crazy and roared. Mr. President, who has always been mild-mannered, was angry, and the guards of the presidential palace were cautious, for fear that they would be unjustly killed.
Seward came to the presidential palace and asked, "Mr. President, how is the situation?" ”
Lincoln said in frustration: "No one found!" ”
Seward frowned and asked, "How is that possible?" Didn't you miss it? ”
Lincoln sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "It's impossible to miss it, the lieutenant colonel who led the troops to intercept the train said that he took the method of searching car by car. went on one by one, and finally searched the people in Li Zhen's carriage. When he searched, he also asked Li Zhen's people to get off the train and search them one by one. ”
Seward said; "In that case, what now?"
Lincoln looked helpless and said, "You ask me, I don't know!" ”
Seward said, "I have an idea! ”
"Say!" Lincoln said.
Seward leaned forward slightly and said solemnly: "If Scott really wants to go to China with Li Zhen, then, no matter how Scott hides, he has a destination, and that is San Francisco." We just need to order the mayor of San Francisco and ask him to send troops to block the ports to the sea. When the time comes, if Scott wants to leave with Li Zhen, he will definitely reveal his identity, and it will be impossible to hide. I don't believe he can still go into the sea and hide. ”
Lincoln's eyes lit up, and he stroked his hands and praised, "yes, that's a good idea." We intercepted halfway, which did not fit the situation at all, and with Li Zhen's cunning character, we must have guessed that such a situation would happen. But there was a checkpoint at San Francisco's port to the sea, and Scott couldn't fly out with his wings in, so he did it. ”
Seward smiled, a smug look on his face.
Lincoln had a telegram sent to the mayor of San Francisco, asking him to start preparing immediately.
