Chapter 168
Minglou drove out, Mingcheng braved the rain and ran to Minglou's car, opened the door and got in.

Mingcheng persuaded: "Brother, don't be impulsive now, Liang Zhongchun and the others don't know that she is the eldest sister!"

"Did the eldest sister ask you to come over to dissuade me?" Minglou asked.

Mingcheng said: "Yes, it is thanks to the internal staff trained by Mingtai that the eldest sister escaped without any danger this time."

"Are you saying that we underestimated Mingtai too much in the past? Although the gangsters in No. 76 are incompetent, it is not easy to escape safely. I still don't care enough for my family!" Minglou sighed.

Mingcheng said: "Since Mingtai took over the family's business, we only know that the family's business has skyrocketed, and we only know that the eldest sister is doing well in the United States, and she has never cared about the family at all. Now it seems that our Ming family's private arms The strength is also very strong!"

"It's business as usual at home, let nature take its course."

"Where is eldest sister?" Mingcheng asked.

Minglou said: "Let me find time to communicate with her, maybe we can use the special service team at home in the future."

The wall lamps are dim, and the western-style fireplace emits red and blue light continuously, which is dazzling and warm.Ming Lou sat on the sofa with Ming Jing, Ah Xiang handed over a bowl of soup and said, "Miss, have a bowl of ginger soup to keep you warm."

Mingcheng stood aside and sneezed.

Ming Jing took the ginger soup, glanced at Mingcheng and said, "Ah Xiang, serve Ah Cheng a bowl of ginger soup too."

Ah Xiang served another bowl to Mingcheng, who took it with both hands.

"Let's all go down, it's been a day of tossing around." Minglou ordered.

Ah Xiang nodded and exited, followed by Mingcheng and walked out of the small living room.Only the siblings were left sitting face to face by the fireplace, looking at each other for a long time.

After a while, Ming Jing took out a large envelope, put it on the table and said, "Before I left Hong Kong, someone asked me to bring you a letter."

"Thank you." Ming Lou picked up the big envelope, and saw the words "Brother Ming Lou Kai" written on it in italics.Seeing these four words, his face suddenly became much more relaxed.He knew what these four characters represented: italicized characters, representing everything went well; writing Xiongqi, representing the official launch of the "Smash Project".If you write Diqi, it means suspending all plans.This most primitive traditional espionage style is actually the safest.

Minglou didn't even read it, took out the lighter and burned the letter in front of Mingjing.

"Aren't you taking it apart?" Ming Jing asked calmly.

"Didn't Eldest Sister take it apart for me?" Ming Lou replied nonchalantly.

Ming Jing sneered, "What are you showing off in front of me? Showing off your skill?"

"Don't dare." Ming Lou said with a hint of a smile, "Eldest sister's adventure in Suzhou this time must be for a reason, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to the arms black market for no reason. You might as well get straight to the point."

"Sir Ming deserves to be Mr. Ming. He has the insight to see everything." Ming Jing also sneered and replied, "Since this is the case, I can speak bluntly. I want to take advantage of your wind and take a ride."

Ming Lou knew what she meant, and said, "The commissioners participating in the 'Peace Conference' this time will indeed take a special train from Shanghai to Nanjing. However, the security work of this special train has been raised to a top-secret level."

Ming Jing was taken aback and said, "It's a special train, isn't it a cruise ship?"

Minglou smiled and said, "Our secrecy work is really bad."

Ming Jing didn't speak, but just looked at him.

"Fortunately, I bought a double insurance." Minglou looked at his sister and continued: "This special train is composed of security personnel consisting of participants, Japanese military police, and secret agents. Not to mention a single person, not even a fly can fly in. .”

"Is this a warning for you?"

"No, advice! The net has been cast, and all situations and situations are beyond my control. This is an extremely dangerous journey, a last train bound for 'death'. This ride, you no matter what It doesn’t work either, this is my final answer to you. In addition, I have to admire your intelligence source, elder sister, it is indeed reliable and efficient.”

"I only need two tickets, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

"Two tickets are enough to send you and me to the guillotine!" Ming Lou's voice was not heavy, but the words were strong.

"Are you afraid that if I'm exposed, your status will be in jeopardy?"

"Yes, it's not because I'm afraid you'll be exposed, it's definitely exposed!" Minglou said: "I cast the net and set up the trap myself. I know best where its weaknesses are and where its strengths are. Make a fuss about the ticket, It's definitely going to be an ugly death."

"It seems that there is no need for us to continue talking! Or, let's talk in a different way." Ming Jing stood up to leave, but was stopped by Minglou again.

"Sister, we have to talk!"

"Talk about what?"

"I have a request for you, please sit down." Minglou said.

As if a compromise between opposing camps, Minglou's words were sincere, not pretentious.Ming Jing held back his breath and sat down again, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"Eldest sister, you are only using freedom, democracy, equality, and even violent revolution to realize the communist ideals of your student days. No, it is not an ideal, but a dream." Minglou speculated: "Eldest sister, you are a An out-and-out dream revolutionary, or an adventurer, yes, an adventurer has a better image."

Ming Jing didn't speak but just stared at him. If it was before, her words and deeds would affect Ming Lou's every move.But this time, Ming Lou seemed to have come prepared, as if he had no intention of stopping.

"Blowing up a special train full of invaders and traitors requires shrewd arrangements and wise command, not risk."

"You want to blow it up!" Ming Jing's demeanor changed for the better, and his brows that had been tightly frowned were relaxed.

"Sister. First of all..." Minglou emphasized, "First of all, we are a family! When we are older, we are all Chinese, and when we are close, we are brothers and sisters who depend on each other for life; secondly, we are anti-Japanese The national united front, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are an alliance. Now is the period of cooperation between the two parties, and I need my sister to help me at a critical moment. The "Sakura" special train must be bombed. This "death" mission, you leave it to me to deploy and arrange. "

As soon as the words fell, Ming Jing stretched out his hand to caress Minglou's thin cheeks, suppressed the pain in his heart, and sighed: "When my father was dying, he took my hand and said, 'Minglou will be handed over to you, you let him Study hard and be a pure scholar.' I promised my father, but I broke my promise." Crystal clear tears fell on the back of Minglou's hand.

Minglou bent one knee, half-kneeled down and said, "Elder Sister, I assure you that as soon as the war is over, I will return to Paris to teach, to be myself, to be a dutiful, simple scholar. Marry a wife and have children, and live a good life." , I promise you, as long as I am still alive..."

As soon as the last sentence was finished, Ming Jing suddenly raised his hand and slapped Ming Lou on the face.Minglou leaned over from the beating, and suddenly realized that he had said a truth that should not be said in front of Mingjing.

"You must live!" Ming Jing's voice was filled with anger and concern, "From now on, you are not allowed to say such things in front of me."

Minglou lowered his head and said, "Yes."

"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?" Ming Jing asked, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"I need explosives."

"What did you say?" Ming Jing suddenly stood up.

Minglou also stood up, and repeated: "I need big sister to provide me with explosives."

"Don't you think it's absurd? Does the Chongqing government even want to save this little military expenditure?"

"The situation is very tense now, and our explosives will not be in place for a while. Although I am an important member of the new government, no matter whether I ask for arms blatantly or in a roundabout way, it will attract the attention of all parties. .”

"I have explosives, but my explosives are not in Shanghai."

"I know, in Suzhou."

"You!" Ming Jing said anxiously, "I should be glad that you are my brother, otherwise I would have died a long time ago, right? Chief Ming!"

"Elder sister, calm down. I know that elder sister has been dealing in medicines and arms for a long time. You often visit the black market, and you also want to contribute to the front line. Minglou has come to this point, there is really no other way." Followed by Shen Shen Bow, "On behalf of the Chongqing government, thank you."

Ming Jing didn't expect that Minglou would bow deeply to her, and this sentence also confirmed her brother's true identity, and finally calmed down.

But Ming Jing still showed a cold face and said: "Forcing me to go to Liangshan."

"Forgive me for being disrespectful, but Minglou can't afford the word 'forced', and you can't afford the word 'forced' either, big sister. This is a state affair! We must do our best to move forward with loyalty and courage. Since ancient times, state affairs have been the most important thing .”

A word is very important, very weighty.

Minglou stood with his head bowed, deliberately lowering his posture into the dust.

Ming Jing was silenced by him for the first time, she took out the warehouse key from her pocket: "Okay, I promise you." Saying that, she put the key on the coffee table.

"Thank you ma'am."

Ming Lou reached out to get the key, Ming Jing suddenly pressed his hand and said sternly: "Before you speak, what if you dare to lie to me?"

"It's still the same sentence, Minglou is willing to..." He wanted to say "die at the point of my sister's gun", but, thinking of the slap just now, he swallowed the words back, "Minglou is at my sister's disposal." Hearing Minglou Lou's words, Ming Jing slowly let go of his hand, watching him put the key into his arms.

"Is it true that you can't get the ticket?" Ming Jing still didn't give up.

"Definitely can't get it."

"How do your people get up there?"

"I only provide the driving route, driving time and arrival time. The rest of the work is not what I should know, nor should I ask." Ming Lou clearly hinted.

"Well, we also need the same special itinerary." Ming Jing asked, "You won't refuse, will you?"

"Of course, I'm happy to help." Then he took out a secret envelope that he had prepared earlier from his pocket and handed it to Ding Jing.

"You really have a heart." Ming Jing said sarcastically, and took the envelope with a "snap".

"Little brother has never had the ambition to stand out."

"Okay, good scolding."

"There are a lot of sisters, so I always feel sorry for my younger brother."

"I really want to feel distressed, because I'm afraid that the farmer will be bitten by a snake when he meets a snake."

When Mingjing mentioned the word "snake", Minglou smiled helplessly with a strange expression on his face.

"Suzhou?" Ming Jing said, "That's right, there is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Let's send them to heaven to hold a 'peace conference'."

"Let's open the battlefield... let the Eight Immortals cross the sea." Minglou's meaningful words ended the first Kuomintang-Communist peace talks between siblings working side by side.

Soon, Minglou arranged for Mingcheng to go to Suzhou.

Mingcheng put the two boxes of goods he retrieved from Suzhou into a farmhouse, and when he came out of the warehouse, he happened to see Mrs.

He fed the dog under the big tree, and greeted him with a smile on his face.

Sister-in-law Ah Liu asked: "Are you going back now?"

"Yes." Mingcheng replied.

"Say hello to Missy."

Mingcheng said politely, "Okay."

While talking, Mingcheng saw paper ashes swirling in mid-air in the tomb in the distance, and asked Sister-in-law suspiciously, "Sister-in-law Liu, has anyone gone to the old house?"

"No."

"Oh, has anyone visited the grave recently?"

"No." Sister-in-law Ah Liu looked up at Mingcheng, then at the distance, and said with a smile, "Don't be suspicious, the fire is still burning in the middle of the night. The wind is strong in that area, and three layers of ash were rolled up in the middle of the night last night. , there are still people crying."

"Is someone crying at night?" Hearing Sister-in-law Ah Liu say this, Mingcheng was even more surprised.

"No." Sister-in-law Ah Liu said, "Some poor families can't afford a cemetery, and they bury them in the mountains in the middle of the night, separated by four or five acres of land from our family's grave. Ah Liu thought about it, and they didn't What's more, the person buried in this grave is not the authentic master of our Ming family, to put it bluntly, he is the benefactor of the young lady."

"Not only is the benefactor of the eldest lady, but also the mother of the young master." Mingcheng corrected, "Be more careful, after all, there are goods stored by the eldest lady here."

"Of course, we should be careful." Sister-in-law Ah Liu responded and changed the subject: "Ah Cheng, I heard that your mother is coming back."

Mingcheng froze for a moment, as if he had been knocked out with a blow to the head, his complexion was ashen.Seeing Mingcheng's expression, Sister-in-Law was stunned for a moment, realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said, and said with a flustered smile, "There's no overnight feud between mother and son."

Mingcheng didn't respond, and smiled wryly: "I'm leaving, Sixth Sister-in-law take care." Then, he opened the car door and got in the car.

Under the blue sky, Mingcheng glanced in the direction of the tomb again, and drove away from the old garden of "Ming's Old Tomb".
