On a spring evening, the stars shine brightly and the breeze blows.

The whole fourth floor is decorated with a Chinese pattern, the middle is a long corridor, the porcelain jars on both sides are densely planted with green bamboo, the corridor is built on both sides of the corridor to the ground, the middle is clear and the water is long, the koi swim in groups, all the windows are hollow flower windows, the patterns are different, from east to west are the "Jianghuai Liri" bath of the moon gate, the "Zhuyu Bay" rubbing back room of the vasive door, the "Guangling Jiajia" dressing room of the Linghua door and the "Bibo Slender West Lake" VIP room of the hanging flower door, the Jiangnan silk and bamboo music is melodious, making people feel as if they are in the graceful Jiangnan.

Tonight's "Chunjiang Green" bathhouse is not as usual, except for more than ten waiters, there are not many guests, quiet and elegant, the general manager Chang Jifang is dressed in a light brown Tang suit today, with a cane in his right hand, limping back and forth from time to time, and looking back and forth from time to time, as if waiting for someone.

A guest dressed in a bathrobe, out of the bathhouse, just about to walk in the direction of the west side of the VIP hall, was stopped by the waiter standing at the door, before the waiter spoke, Chang Jifang hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, guest officer, today's VIP room was chartered by important VIPs, please enter another day." ”

Which VIP has the VIP room chartered?

It's none other than Nalan Songhan.

There are a total of eight suites in the VIP hall, each with its own decoration layout, and the centralized classics are displayed separately, namely "Smoke and Rain Tower", "Yingfei Hanjiang", "Spring Dawn at Su Causeway", "Shen Yuan Lotus Fragrance", "Lanting Valley", "Fuchun Chaoxu", "Flower Path Elegant Building", "Xishan Sunset" eight suites. The largest one is the "smoke and rain building", there are three rooms inside and outside, one enters the door is the reception room, surrounded by mahogany couches on three sides, and the wall is hung with pine, plum and bamboo orchids

The "Four Natures of Gentlemen" jade inlaid with a strip screen, and the scarlet carpet set off the rich, solemn and elegant beauty.

Nalan Songhan and the other six people sat on the couch in brown cotton bathrobes, sipping tea and talking.

Nalan said: "Who would have thought that we are having a meeting here, absolutely confidential, absolutely safe, and no one wants to hear any information." As the temporary responsible persons of the Xinjing underground party, the four of you comrades who were arranged by our party to lurk in the Xinjing area in the early days of our party, I woke you up through the top-secret radio station, and after rigorous screening and assessment, you are absolutely loyal and reliable. Let's get to know each other, Comrade Luo Zhangqin, Comrade Qi Chenglu, Comrade Yan Longhua and Comrade Zhao Ou ......"

Their images were deeply imprinted in Nalan's mind, and they were all his comrades-in-arms.

Luo Zhangqin, 45 years old, a native of Harbin, has a thin face, shrewd and capable, the most typical feature is a hooked nose, and his cover identity is the chef of the Japanese Consulate General in Manchuria.

Qi Chenglu, 47 years old, a native of Yantai, Shandong, is burly, loyal and unspoken, the most typical feature is two attractive ears, and the cover identity is the director of the General Affairs Office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the puppet Manchurian.

Yan Longhua, 30 years old, female, from Chaoyang, Rehe, with bangs, delicate face, not tall, the most typical feature is that there are two deep dimples on his face when he smiles, and his cover identity is the daughter of the owner of the Xinjing Yishengchang Warehouse, and the translator of the General Affairs Department of the State Council of the puppet Manchurian.

Zhao Ou, 49 years old, a native of Xinjing, has a dark and thin face, a beard, and his cover identity is the deputy stationmaster of Xinjing Railway Station.

Zhao Ou said: "I heard that Brother Nalan arranged for someone to clean up Song Xizhe and Inoue Guiyan to avenge our comrades. ”

Nalan said with a smile: "The old department of Tang Yulin of the Northeast Army who cleaned up this traitor, called Luo Shuangchen, once saved the mother of Yu Zhishan of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and I went to the Xing'an Dong Garrison a while ago and was also saved by him, this person is very good at kung fu, chivalrous and courageous, full of justice, once studied at the Naval Academy in Etajima, Japan, but he doesn't know much about the revolution, I am very optimistic about him, as long as he is well guided, he will also be an excellent soldier in the revolutionary camp in the future." It was a temptation to ask him to avenge us this time, and that's good. ”

Yan Longhua said: "Without two blows, it is not easy to deal with these military and police gendarins." What we lack is such talent. ”

Luo Zhangqin said: "At present, the situation is very harsh, and Little Japan has done a great job of preventing and controlling our underground party. ”

Nalan said: "Now, after consulting the Manchuria Provincial Party Committee, I announce the decision of the Manchuria Provincial Party Committee on the appointment of the special branch in the Xinjing area. I served as secretary of the party branch and concurrently as a member of the organization committee, Comrade Luo Zhangqin served as a military member, Comrade Qi Chenglu served as a member of the propaganda committee, Comrade Yan Longhua served as a member of the social committee, and Comrade Zhao Ou served as a member of the labor movement. ”

Nalan said: "Comrades, according to the important instructions of the provincial party committee, the first is to determine our contact location to facilitate our communication and contact, and the second is to study the current work. Regarding the arrangement of the liaison station, we have determined that the Yifengtang Pharmacy on Tiehang Street is the No. 1 liaison station, which is in charge of Comrade Qi Chenglu; Xinglong Street Heng Clock Line is the No. 2 liaison station, which is in charge of Comrade Luo Zhangqin; The Gogoli Bookstore on Xingyun Street is the No. 3 liaison station, which is in charge of Comrade Yan Longhua; The Yuntao Hotel in front of the Xinjing Railway Station is the No. 4 liaison station, which is in charge of Comrade Zhao Ou, and everyone must implement a single line of contact with their own liaison station and its subordinate personnel, and we must lay a strict intelligence network in the entire Xinjing area. ”

"It was originally planned to set up six liaison stations, but then it was considered to set up four liaison posts for security reasons," Nalan said. At present, there are two urgent tasks to be done, one is to obtain the "Group Tribal Construction Plan" issued by the puppet Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the other is to destroy the bacteriological weapons research institute under the arsenal of the two Germans. ”

Nalan continued, "Let's start with the first thing. In order to sever the flesh-and-blood ties between the broad masses of the people and the anti-Japanese armed forces, the Japanese carried out the so-called "work of separating bandits from the people," that is, they wanted to carry out large-scale efforts to merge households into cantonments, create no-man's land and "group tribes," and carry out political siege and economic blockade against the Japanese armed forces. In 1933, eight group tribes were established in the three counties of Yanji, Helong, and Hunchun in the province of Pseudo-Jiandao, and they forced the people of small villages to leave their homelands where they had lived for generations and relocate to designated tribes. According to the information received by the provincial party committee, the building of group tribes will be comprehensively promoted by the end of this year, and now that the puppet Manchurian "plan for the construction of group tribes" has been drawn up under the guidance of the Japanese, we must know the existence of this plan through channels, and then make a copy of it and hand it over to the provincial party committee in advance so that we can deal with it. The second thing is that the underground of the Shuangde arsenal is nominally the 'Horse Epidemic Research Institute' of the Puppet Manchurian Academy of Sciences, but in fact it is a bacteriological weapons laboratory, and they are going to transport a batch of so-called 'experimental materials' to the Harbin Bungalow Base in the near future, and we must find ways to destroy this laboratory and rescue these controlled personnel. ”

Nalan said, "Regarding these two tasks, I have two suggestions, if you think it is okay, we will implement it, and if you have any opinions, we can express them, and we ......will study them together."

In the "smoke and rain towers," the revolutionaries of our Party in the Xinjing area are bursting out with new strength.

In the corridor outside, Chang Jifang was always walking back and forth, and when someone brought him a stool, he didn't sit. At this time, a person came to Chang Jifang, whispered a few words, and left.

Chang Jifang didn't dare to delay, limped to the door of the VIP hall, and ordered the waiter outside the door not to let anyone in. ”

"Hurry in. What's wrong? Nalan said.

"Lu Shikun, Boss Lu was assassinated and is being rescued in the hospital." Chang Jifang said anxiously.

"What? Old Lou was assassinated? ”
