At the junction of Jing County and Longkou, the position of the L Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.

A communications soldier ran into Fan Xiaoha's battalion headquarters out of breath and reported: "Battalion seat, the Central Army is pressing up. ”

Fan Xiaoha's expression was awe-inspiring, and he immediately took the guards up to the forward observation post, and then looked through the front of the artillery mirror, at least one battalion of the Central Army had opened a sparse skirmish line, and was pressing towards the position of the L battalion.

"Turtle son drops." Fan Xiaoha slapped on the wall of the trench and roared with a black face, "Do you really think that our Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army is easy to bully?" Pass on my order, all companies and platoons directly under them are ready for battle, if the central army does not come, they will just give Lao Tzu a hard beating, and beat them to the ground. ”

"Yes," the signal man replied, turning and hurrying away.

Fan Xiaoha called the adjutant over again and said, "Send someone to deliver a letter to the regiment seat immediately, and say that the central army will do it, so that the regimental seat side is also ready." ”

(Dividing Line)

Xu Shijiu compensated Huang Baitao and returned to the hut that was temporarily used as a conference room, and said, "Huang Junzuo, it's boring, why don't you have a cup of tea?" ”

Huang Baitao has already sent a telegram to the Third War Zone Commander's Department, but the Commander's Department has not replied for the time being.

In fact, he knew Huang Baitao's idea of delaying time and transferring troops for Shangguan Yunxiang and Gu Zhutong, but Xu Shijiu was not stunned at all, it was still the same sentence, Xu Shijiu didn't want to cause trouble, but he would definitely not be afraid of things, Shangguan Yunxiang and Gu Zhutong thought that they could seize materials by force, but they were very wrong.

Xu Shijiu turned around and beckoned, and Liu Dagu walked up with two cups of tea, first placing one of them in front of Xu Shijiu, and then putting the other cup in front of Huang Baitao.

Xu Shijiu made a gesture of invitation, and Huang Baitao picked up the teacup in front of him.

However, at this time, the lazy man standing behind Huang Baitao suddenly spoke: "Wait a minute." ”

Huang Baitao frowned, turned around and glared at the lazy man with some displeasure, Huang Baitao actually didn't want the lazy man to follow him in this negotiation, because he knew that the military commanders had no bottom line in doing things, and they could do anything, in case this guy suddenly went crazy in the territory of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui and assassinated Xu Shijiu, even he Huang Baitao couldn't get out of the system.

But the lazy man repeatedly assured Huang Baitao that he would never mess around, so Huang Baitao reluctantly agreed to follow him.

There is a way, don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, after all, the lazy man is a commissioner sent to southern Anhui by the Shanghai Station of the military command, and his identity is not trivial, Huang Baitao has always acted cautiously, so he does not want to offend him.

At this time, Huang Baitao saw that the lazy man suddenly spoke up, and he was really afraid that he would mess around.

I saw the lazy man walk to the front of the Eight Immortals table, first cover the two teacups with the palms of both hands in front of everyone, and then switch positions with his left and right hands, and move the cup of tea that was originally placed in front of Xu Baitao to Huang Baitao, and the cup that was originally placed in front of Huang Baitao was moved in front of Xu Baitao.

Xu Shijiu glanced at the lazy man, and sarcastically said to Huang Baitao: "Huang Junzuo, your subordinates are really careful, what's the matter, are you still worried that I will poison the tea?" It's ridiculous."

Huang Baitao could only smile awkwardly, and then glared at the lazy man fiercely.

The lazy man retreated a little abruptly, as if he was really just thinking about Huang Baitao's safety, but Ye Ruxue, who was standing behind Xu Shijiu, suddenly felt an inexplicable inappropriateness, but for a while, he couldn't think of anything wrong, he just felt that in this short moment just now, something was likely to happen.

"Huang Junzuo, can you drink it with confidence now?" Xu Jiujiu snorted and picked up the teacup in front of him.

However, just when Xu Shijiu was about to put the teacup to his mouth, Ye Ruxue's mind was like a flash of lightning, and she said urgently: "Commander, don't"

Xu Shijiu's hand holding the teacup froze there, and he looked back at Ye Ruxue in surprise.

Ye Ruxue didn't explain too much, but walked over quickly and snatched the teacup from Xu Shijiu's hand, and then splashed the tea on the ground, and then something extremely shocking happened, after the tea was splashed on the ground, it was like boiling water splashed on the snow, and several holes were eroded in an instant, and bursts of green smoke rose up

"Huh?" Xu Shijiu, Huang Baitao, Gao Shenxing, Niu Sigen and others were all dumbfounded, the tea is really poisonous?

"Okay, Xu Shijiu, what else do you have to say?" Chen Shizhang was the first to react and rushed forward to ask loudly.

Xu Shijiu was speechless, he didn't know what was going on, speaking from his heart, Xu Shijiu really didn't think about poisoning the tea and poisoning Huang Baitao, because he didn't bother to do it at all, but the scene in front of him clearly told Xu Shijiu that the tea was really poisonous

"Liu Da Bone" Gao Shenxing also reacted, turned his head and roared.

"Yes" Liu Dagu hurriedly ran into the conference room and stood upright.

Gao Shenxing pointed to the ground that was still smoking, and asked sharply, "Did you make this tea?" ”

"yes, I soaked it." Liu Dagu didn't understand what was going on, and said in a daze, "What's wrong?" ”

"What's wrong? You're too embarrassed to ask me what's wrong? Gao Shenxing roared angrily, "The tea is poisoned, and the tea is poisoned, do you know?" Did You Know? ”

"Huh? Someone poisoned the tea? Can't you? "Liu Da Bone is a tendon again, and he also knows that there is a big deal.

"Check it out for me right away," Gao Shenxing said angrily, "From you taking water, boiling water to tea, who people have been in contact with in the middle, check them out for me one by one, go quickly"

"Yes" Liu Dagu agreed, and went with a black face.

Chen Shizhang sneered: "Pretend, then pretend to me, don't pretend to fool the past." ”

Gao Shenxing glared at Chen Shizhang and asked angrily, "Then what else do you want?" ”

"It's not what I want, it's what you want?" Chen Shizhang said, "If you weren't lazy just now...... If it weren't for Staff Officer Lan's high vigilance, our military seat might have drunk this cup of tea by now."

Huang Baitao looked at the ground that was still smoking, and he was also a little afraid, if he had drunk this cup of tea just now, he would probably have fallen to the ground in pain and convulsed, and looked up at Xu Shijiu at the moment, and said in a deep voice: "Commander Xu, you have to give me an explanation for this matter, as for this negotiation, I'm afraid I can't continue to talk." ”

After speaking, Huang Baitao got up and walked out, and Chen Shizhang followed with a muffled snort.

Gao Shenxing repeatedly gave Xu Shijiu a look and asked him to order Huang Baitao and others to be detained, but Xu Shijiu did not react.

It wasn't until Huang Baitao and the others had already gone away that Gao Shenxing asked unhappily: "Old Xu, why don't you detain them?" ”

"Huang Baitao is not Zhang Wenqing, if you think that detaining Huang Baitao will make the officers and soldiers of the army have some scruples, then you are wrong, if we really do this, the result will only be counterproductive, and it can only promote the hatred of the officers and soldiers for the same enemy." Xu Shijiu waved his hand, then turned back to Ye Ruxue and said, "Director Ye, you are from the military command, you are good at investigating the case, and I will leave the matter of poisoning the tea to you." ”

Ye Ruxue said: "Commander, don't check, I know who poisoned me." ”

"What, you know?" Gao Shenxing, Shu Tongwen, Niu Sigen and others looked at each other.

Xu Jiu also looked at Ye Ruxue in surprise, and asked in a deep voice, "Who poisoned it?" ”

"Commander, it's not our people." Ye Ruxue shook her head lightly and said, "The one who poisoned was the blue staff officer, in fact, when Liu Dagu put the tea in front of the commander and Huang Baitao, it was not poisonous, it was precisely when the blue staff officer clasped the teacup with both hands to change the position, and put the poison inside." ”

Xu Shijiu frowned and asked, "Why didn't you say it just now?" ”

Ye Ruxue was speechless, she didn't want to explain to Xu Shijiu in a pale manner, saying that she had just figured out the trick, she just didn't want to betray the organization, because she had already seen that the blue staff officer must be from the Shanghai Station of the Military Commander, and his identity was definitely not low, if she confessed to him, it would be tantamount to betraying the Military Commander.

Gao Shenxing realized something and asked, "That guy is a military commander?" ”

"I'll go get that kid back," Li Mu turned around and walked out.

"Komaki, forget it." Xu Shijiu waved his hand to stop Li Mu, "Forget it." ”

"Old Xu, are you sure?" Gao Shenxing turned his head to look at Xu Shijiu, and said with a solemn expression, "The people of the military commander, there is no bottom line in doing things, this guy has attempted assassination for the first time, there will definitely be a second and third time, as the old saying goes, there are only a thousand days to catch a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, if I don't kill this guy, I won't sleep well."

Ye Ruxue suddenly said: "Senior Sir, if you can trust me, leave this matter to me, and I will deal with him." ”

"I can't trust you." Gao Shenxing said very crisply, "Director Ye, I believe that no one can trust you." ”

Ye Ruxue was bitter in her heart, but she didn't have a seizure, because she knew Gao Shenxing's past very well, because his lover Yao Nianci was also a member of the military commander, and because of the organization's order, she did not hesitate to seduce Wang Jingwei's nephew Wang Wendong, which eventually led to her and Gao Shenxing's labor and swallow flying, for this matter, Gao Shenxing's prejudice against the military commander has been integrated into the bone marrow

Xu Shijiu waved his hand and said to Gao Shenxing: "There are priorities, the most important thing at the moment is to get the military supplies quickly, as for other things, you can talk about it later." ”
