When the magic capital became an isolated island, it was not only entrepreneurs who were sad, but also a large number of literati and artists.

Many important intellectuals, students, and professors have left the capital for Chongqing and Kunming, but some have stayed.

Those who stayed behind had no more than three choices: either retire, fight, or defect to the Japanese.

To retire is not to do the original work, not to write, not to sing.

For example, for the opera artist Mei Lanfang, he is a person who sings Danjiao, once grew a beard, and he hasn't sung for several years!

There are many people who choose to fight, the literature and drama of the isolated island period hold high the banner of patriotism and national integrity, and a group of writers devote themselves to the fiery anti-Japanese rescue activities. For example, Yu Ling, Ba Jin, A Ying, Ke Ling, Wu Zuguang, Tang Tao, Ba Ren, etc., have created a large number of literary works.

The Magic Capital Troupe performs new dramas in an endless stream. For example, Yu Ling's "Night Demon Capital", "Long Night Walk", "Flower Splash Tears" and "The Legend of the Ming Heroes", A Ying's "Blue Blood Flower", "Southern Heroes", Guo Moruo's "Tiger Fu", Cao Yu's "Sunrise", "Thunderstorm", "Pekingese", "The True Story of Ah Q" adapted from Lu Xun, etc., as well as Wu Zuguang's "Wen Tianxiang......

There are also many traditional repertoire and new playwrights performed on the stage of Peking Opera, which have had a considerable social impact. Such as "Shi Kefa", "Wen Tianxiang", "Late Ming Dynasty Hatred", "Four Jinshi", "Dead Shu Jian", "Hong Chengchou", "Peach Blossom Fan" and so on.

Those literati who rebelled and cooperated, such as Zhou Zuoren and Zhou Fuhai......

At that time, the Wang puppet government in Nanjing proposed the "Greater East Asian Renaissance", which was a bit like Mr. Qing's "New Life Movement", which emphasized the filial piety and loyalty of Chinese Confucianism on the one hand, and on the other hand, it lectured on Japan and wanted to establish modernization. The Japanese writer at the time, Shuaki Okawa, said that Chinese intellectuals were citizens of the world, and they abandoned the obligation to liberate Asia.

For those backbone literati, Qin Di borrowed the name of his sister Qin Yue to invest 2 million US dollars in the World Book Company and set up the "Modu Literature Award", which selects three winners every year, the first place is 100,000 US dollars, the second place is 50,000 US dollars, and the third place is 20,000 US dollars.

At the same time, he also asked Yan Xue to come forward and inject $1 million into the Modu Theater Troupe, nominally taking half of the company's shares, and secretly often contributing money to help theater creators and performers and improve their living conditions.

Since the foundation was built, Yan Xue has become more and more capable, more and more like the hostess of the Qin family, taking the initiative to take on the burden of enterprise management. She handled most of the affairs quietly, and only a few major events were reported to Qin Di.

In this way, Qin Di has more time to carefully craft the "Naxu Gourd".

This treasure is halfway completed, the function has been greatly improved, and the internal space has expanded to the size of more than a dozen football fields, which is still not yet completed, and when it is finally completed, Qin Di will string all the small magic circles together and put on a large unified magic array, and then it will not be a simple container, but will become a high-level spiritual weapon, and the internal space will be expanded many times!

Theoretically, with the improvement of Qin Di's skills, he can continue to refine the magic weapon and gradually improve the level of the gourd. If one day, the gourd becomes a spiritual treasure of Tongtian, it can hold a mountain, and if it becomes an immortal weapon, it can hold the Kunlun Mountains.

Of course, refining immortal weapons is not so easy, in addition to Na Xuan Stone and many magic circles, it is necessary to add all kinds of spirit gold, and whether he can find all the spirit gold he needs on the earth, Qin Di does not know for the time being.

That afternoon, Yan Xue suddenly appeared in front of him, sat down quietly, and watched him carve a gourd.

Qin Di asked, "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

Yan Xue said softly: "Sir, Secretary Gu Sisi submitted his resignation today. ”

"What is the reason?"

"When I asked her, she refused to tell her, saying that she wanted to go to the United States for personal reasons, and she didn't know when she would be back. ”

Qin Di thought for a while and said, "Let her go." You told her that I needed someone to inspect the American industry, that she was the best person at the moment, and that if she was willing to take the time to do it every six months, I would offer her $100,000 a year. ”

Yan Xue said: "Okay, I'll ask for her opinion." In addition, Gu Sisi recommended a secretary to replace her, named Li Limei, I got in touch with her, she didn't see a problem on the outside, and she was very knowledgeable, but I quietly followed her and found that she entered No. 76!"

Qin Di snorted coldly: "These spies who don't know whether they are alive or dead have actually hit me with their ideas! You asked Gu Sisi if she recommended this person?"

Yan Xue said: "I asked, Gu Sisi said: One day she was walking on the road, she saw a young woman wearing a cheongsam being beaten by a drunken white man, she asked the bodyguard to save the woman, after inquiry, I learned that the woman's name is Li Limei, originally graduated from Yenching University, and was deceived into marrying an American, the American was drunk and gambling, and wanted to sell her...... Gu Sisi took her in, not only gave her money to buy clothes, but also let her live in her own home. Li Limei is smart, educated, and very active, and quickly won Gu Sisi's trust, so Gu Sisi recommended her to give it a try. ”

Qin Di said: "Such an old-fashioned routine can only deceive the little girl." ”

"Sir, what do you think should be done with Li Limei?"

"I'll pass on your soul searching technique, you go and erase her ten years of memory!"

"What if I don't cast the spell properly?"

"If you don't cast the spell properly, it's a big deal to die on the spot! This kind of No. 76 spy deserves to die!"

Qin Di just didn't want to kill, so he used the method of erasing his memory. If this woman is 23 years old, erase her 10-year memory and return to 13 years old, maybe she can be a good person!

He knew that there was a group of female spies on No. 76, and after being trained by the Japanese, they specialized in seducing people with beauty, and in this way, they framed many people in the military command, including progressives who were close to the Great Red Party.

One of the agents was named "Niu Meibo", who was a quarter of Russian ancestry. When he was 17 years old, his father was deceived in the business field and committed suicide, and the family fell into disarray. Under the influence of his mother, Niu Meibo entered the Changsan Hall on Fuzhou Road. Niu Meibo was born beautiful, not only with the duck egg face of the Oriental Peugeot, but also with the plump figure of Western women, plus talented, and went to university, and learned a hand of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in Changsantangzi, and soon became a courtesan in Shanghai.

After the Japanese invaders occupied the magic capital, Niu Meibo was favored by the head of the Mei Agency, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, and developed into a Japanese spy, and was sent to Japan to receive a year of shooting, explosion, fighting, makeup and other spy training, and was ordered by Ying Zuo Zhenzhao to lure Ding Mo Village, urging him to set up the notorious Wang Puppet No. 76 spy agency in the magic capital, and Niu Meibo himself became the main cadre of No. 76.

As a Japanese pseudo-spy, Niu Meibo participated in the assassination of Mao Liying, chairman of the Southwest Professional Women's Club, and the trapping of Wang Tianmu, the head of the military commander's magic capital.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Niu Meibo was accepted by Dai Li and appointed as a colonel of the Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense of the National Government.

On the eve of the liberation of the Demon Capital in 1949, Niu Meibo went into hiding and continued to command the underground spy organization of the Secret Service to assassinate intelligence and carry out sabotage activities in the Demon Capital. not only commanded the explosion of the Demon Capital Power Plant, but also planned the assassination of the mayor Mr. Chen.

In 1950, Niu Meibo was arrested in the magic capital and imprisoned in Tilanqiao Prison. In April 1955, the People's Court sentenced Niu Meibo to death for traitor and treason, and escorted him to the execution ground to be executed.

If she had been erased for 10 years, she wouldn't have been a great agent, and it might be a good thing for the country and for herself.
