Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

Chapter 1595 How are you going to catch the assassin?

Zhang Fei hurriedly said, "Director! Since someone is following us, I'll take some people to catch them."

Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "I don't think he's an ordinary spy. Let's not alert him yet."

Zhang Fei bowed and said, "Ha!"

Since you are playing the role of a Japanese soldier, you must be careful not to reveal your identity in this wilderness.

Xiang Chu walked up the hill, looked westward, saw the towering mountains, and chanted:

"A river flows north and south, and the energy of the Central Plains is intact. Clouds and mountains connect to the land of Jin, and mist and trees flow into the Qinchuan Plain."

Zhang Fei praised: "Good poem!"

Xiang Chu laughed and said, "The poem by Zhao Zizhen of the Song Dynasty really captures the idea that the Zhongtiao Mountains stretch from east to west, connecting to the Jinnan Basin in the north, the Central Plains in the southeast, and crossing the Yellow River to Guanzhong in the west."

Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not a big history person. What stories are there about Zhongtiao Mountain?"

Xiang Chu narrated the story, "Zhongtiao Mountain was known in ancient times as Shou Mountain, renowned as the best mountain in the world. It was a crossroads for dynasties and a battleground throughout history. To the north lay salt ponds, and in the mountains lay copper. It was to this struggle that the Yellow Emperor fought Chiyou. This is the birthplace of Chinese civilization. The word 'China' originates from Zhongtiao Mountain and Mount Hua."

Zhang Fei said worriedly, "The Japanese invaders launched the Zhongtiaoshan Campaign and occupied the Zhongtiaoshan Pass and the main ferry crossing on the north bank of the Yellow River. Okamura Ningchi has assembled 100,000 elite troops to attack Tongguan. I feel the situation is not good."

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Indeed! So we must fight to the death to destroy the chemical weapons of the Japanese 516th Unit and knock out Okamura Ningchi's sharpest fangs."

At this time, Liu Zhengxiong ran over and said with a smile:

"Chief! Everything is safe in the temple."

Xiang Chu glanced at the mountains and forests to the north and nodded.

"Yoshi! Go to the temple to work."

Liu Zhengxiong asked doubtfully, "You seem so serious, could it be that there are Japanese spies following us?"

Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "I can't be sure either, but my intuition tells me that someone is following me."

Liu Zhengxiong exclaimed in surprise, "Where is it? I'll take people to search right away."

Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "No need! Let's go into the temple to make dinner and rest early. We will set off at two in the morning."

Liu Zhengxiong yelled, "Leaving at two in the morning?! Are you crazy?"

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Indeed! Doihara Xian'er just set it for two in the morning."

Xiang Chu said angrily, "You two! When we are most relaxed, the enemy is often most excited. Even Doihara Xian'er understands this principle. How can you two, who are so smart, not understand it?"

Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Okay! As long as you can get up, I have no problem!"

"Come on! I'll make you a pot of 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall'."

Xiang Chu laughed and used the Eight Steps to chase the cicada down the slope.

Zhang Fei exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Xiang is truly a super expert!"

Liu Zhengxiong taunted him, "Can you be faster than the guns? Let's go! Have some porridge."

Military Intelligence Bureau, Director’s Office.

Zheng Jie reported: "Commander! I've contacted 'Black Fish'. He's tracking Lord Chu. If I want him to complete the assassination mission, I'll need one million US dollars."

Dai Nong angrily rebuked him, "This fellow is starting to manipulate us. Tell him that if he doesn't complete the mission of assassinating Lord Chu, his parents will die."

Zheng Jie asked with a smile, "Commander! Where are Black Fish's parents?"

Dai Nong waved his hand and said, "Don't ask about these things! Tell Black Fish what I mean. This is a big mission. If you complete it, you will be rewarded with three gold bars. Otherwise, expect punitive measures."

"Yes!"

Zheng Jie hurriedly accepted the order and turned to walk out of the room.

Li Li walked out of the inner room and asked with a smile, "Commander! Isn't 'Black Fish' just an ordinary agent who graduated from the Qingpu Special Training Class and is lurking in the Red Party? Why didn't you tell Zheng Jie about his information?"

Dai Nong shook his head and said, "No! 'Black Fish' is no simple matter. Besides being a member of the Military Control Commission, he also studied in Japan, joined the Red Party, and once infiltrated the Shanghai Special High Section. He escaped from the Shanghai Special High Section as soon as Nanzō Yunko died. This man would do anything for money, and has assassinated influential figures from all walks of life."

Li Li asked with a smile, "You can control 'Black Fish' because you control his parents?"

Dainong nodded and said, "Yes! Otherwise, he would have already completely surrendered to the Shanghai Special High Section."

Li Li asked with a smile, "Commander! Are spies like Blackfish unique?"

Dai Nong shook his head and said, "No! There are also 'Dark Bird' and 'Shadow Fox'. Unfortunately! Due to some circumstances, these two multifaceted spies have escaped my control, and now I don't know which side they are working for."

Li Li asked doubtfully, "Could it be that you still can't contact these two people?"

Dai Nong smiled bitterly and said, "I'm so disappointed! Without any evidence, how could they possibly listen to me?"

Li Li remained silent, thinking to herself, "It must be because you betrayed them that things turned out like this."

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Li Li hurried into the inner room.

Zheng Jie opened the door and reported, "Director! 'Black Fish' called and agreed to take action against Chu Xi. Because the risk is too great, he wants five gold bars."

Dai Nong nodded and said, "Okay! Tell him that if this is successful, I'll give him five gold bars."

Zheng Jie said worriedly, "Commander! Should we tell Black Fish? He must not be captured alive by Chu Xi and betray you and me."

Dai Nong laughed heartily and said, "Old Zheng! You underestimate these super spies. Once they take on a mission, they will definitely complete it at the cost of their lives. Go!"

"Yes!"

Zheng Jie hurriedly accepted the order.

South Shanxi, Yuquan Temple in Zhongtiao Mountain.

At two o'clock in the morning, Xiang Chu and his men quietly left the temple.

Liu Zhengxiong suggested, "Chief! Didn't you say someone was following us? Xiaoliu, Wang Zizai and I will lie in ambush inside the temple to see if the assassin will come."

Xiang Chu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright! Wait here until dawn, then run to the south of Zhongtiao Mountain and meet us. Be careful."

"Hello!"

Liu Zhengxiong and others hurriedly accepted the order.

Under the hazy moonlight, Xiang Chu led the shadow spies towards Hengling.

Xiao Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Old Liu! How are you going to catch the assassin?"

Wang Zizai said hurriedly, "Chief Steward! How about we split up and set up our posts?"

Liu Zhengxiong said angrily, "Why set up guards? Let's just sleep."

"Shall we have a good sleep?"

Xiaoliu and Wang Zizai were stunned.

Liu Zhengxiong laughed and said, "Just kidding! Let's set up booby traps at the gate, by the windows, and in the courtyard, and wait for the assassin to take the bait."

Xiao Liu said angrily, "It's hard to say whether there was an assassin or not."

Wang Zizai echoed, "Even if you wait for a rabbit by the tree, you'll get one."

Liu Zhengxiong scolded: "You two guys, your boss said there is an assassin, so there is an assassin. This is also to protect your boss. Hurry up and act."

"Hello!"

Xiaoliu and Wang Zizai accepted the order helplessly.

The three of them were busy setting up several circles of booby traps and then walked into the only intact building in the temple - the Main Hall.

Liu Zhengxiong lay on the altar and said with a smile:

"You two! Sleep peacefully."

Xiao Liu reminded: "Lao Liu! For safety's sake, just lie down on the ground."

Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Yes! This altar is too high. If I encounter a sniper, I will definitely die."

Wang Zizai brought over a smaller statue, covered it with a Japanese army uniform, and put on a mask that resembled Xiang Chu. He smiled and said, "Let it lie horizontally to attract fire."

"middle!"

Liu Zhengxiong nodded and lay down beside the fire and fell into a deep sleep.

Xiao Liu shook his head and said, "You stayed here purely to catch up on some sleep. How could you possibly catch the assassin?"

Wang Zizai laughed and said, "Sixth Brother! I think the quartermaster's idea is good. Let's go to sleep!"

"What's so good about that? I'm going to sleep in the palm of the Buddha statue."

Xiaoliu shouted, picked up the gun, climbed onto the palm of the Buddha statue, and lay down comfortably.
