The secret war is silent

Xiangcheng·Xiaoximen Street, an antique shop.

The name is very nice.

It's called Jiyaxuan.

The signboard is an old one, but the boss is not.

Of course, the new boss is not too new. He has been in Xiangcheng for two years since the Japanese invaders came to Jinling City.

Xiangcheng is an ancient city with thousands of years of history. It has produced many people who have praised it for thousands of years. Naturally, it is indispensable to have cultural relics and historical sites, such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., although they are not as famous as those famous places in Peiping and Tianjin.

But it still has a place in the antique world.

The boss's surname is Guan. He is fair and chubby. He has a kind-hearted face and a kind-hearted person. He likes to run around. He is considered to be one of the most famous people in Xiangcheng.

In these prosperous times, there is gold in troubled times. It is really not profitable to open an antique shop these days. However, everyone knows that there are still people who want some valuable items.

Especially some people who are nouveau riche don't understand this. They think it is an antique placed at home. The older it is, the more it can show off their taste and status.

As for whether it was dug out of a dead person's tomb, they didn't care. Anyway, even if they knew, it wouldn't matter. Unless something belonging to a dead person had a special meaning, there would be no fuss.

It would be a pity that such exquisite porcelain, jade and even gold and silver are buried underground and never see the light of day.

This is what Boss Guan did. The last boss of Jiyaxuan had a mysophobia and was unwilling to get involved in this kind of business. As a result, the business naturally became more and more unprofitable.

In the hands of Boss Guan, the business in this store was still deserted, but Boss Guan lived a very comfortable life. After buying this episode of Yaxuan, he married a wife and had sex with a fat boy the next year.

They say this business is bad for one's moral character. Not only does the boss have nothing to do with it, but he also gave birth to a son. How can you reason with him?

Jiyaxuan doesn't open before ten o'clock in the morning. Basically, a hired waiter comes over at dinner time, and then closes on time before five o'clock in the afternoon.

As for the business, although it is open on the bustling Xiaoximen Main Street, it would be good to have two or three customers who actually come in at the end of the day.

Basically, the guys at the counter are either dozing off or eating melon seeds.

This is an easy job, and any fool can do it.

Naturally, good things cannot be put on display. They are all hidden, otherwise they will attract thieves’ attention. As the owner, Boss Guan sometimes comes here at noon. Most of them stay in his own backyard, or else he hires someone to do it. A car goes out to drive around, sometimes not coming back for several days.

The antiques industry is like this, especially those who are not clear-minded. They are even more mysterious all day long, and they don't know what they are doing all day long.

There were rumors that the Japanese were going to invade Xiangcheng again. Many people dragged their families and families out of the city, and there were fewer people on the streets.

Whenever there is a war, it is the common people who suffer.

Although it is already autumn, the afternoon sun is still a bit fierce, a parasol, and a slim woman.

And sunglasses.

Walking on this street, the rate of turning heads is very high.

But pedestrians are in a hurry, and beautiful women are not the focus of their attention.

Along this road, many shops are open, including cloth shops and silk shops, as well as women's favorite rouge and gouache, but these cannot attract women's attention.

All the way to this Jiyaxuan, the woman holding the umbrella stopped and looked up for three seconds, then raised her feet and walked in directly.

The items displayed in Jiyaxuan's store cannot be considered fakes, but they are basically commercial products and not valuable. It is okay for ordinary people to buy them back and decorate them.

If you are a rich person, you will look down on these things.

Therefore, the real business is usually not done in the store, but in the backyard. Generally, the clerk will not see such a customer again after meeting him once.

"Miss, you can take a look at it. We have clearly marked prices here, and we do not bargain." Probably because he had just eaten lunch, the waiter was a little sleepy. Although he noticed that a customer had come in, he still did not leave his position at the counter and placed his hands casually. He waved his hand, said hello, and closed his eyes again.

"Man, is there a Jun kiln from the Northern Song Dynasty?" The woman walked around the store and came to the man and asked.

"Miss, do you know the price of the Jun kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty?" The clerk was excited. The Jun kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty was a first-class famous porcelain, especially the Jun kiln official kiln produced during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Each of them is a fine product, but there are not many of them left in the world. Most of them have been collected and are no longer in the world.

"Price is not an issue, as long as it's Jun Kiln, it's easy to talk about."

"Miss, please wait a moment, I'll go ask the boss for instructions." The waiter said hurriedly.

"Can."

The guy hurried from the back door to the backyard. Boss Guan had been here at noon, and now he should be admiring his treasures in the backyard.

After a while, Boss Guan followed the waiter from the back door to the front hall. When he saw the woman, he had a warm smile on his face and cupped his hands: "Hello, lady, my surname is Guan, and I am the owner of this store. I heard that you Looking for a piece of Jun kiln porcelain from the Northern Song Dynasty?"

"Your guy heard wrong. What I'm looking for is a piece of Ru kiln porcelain from the Northern Song Dynasty." As soon as the woman opened her mouth, she rejected what she had just said.

The waiter was stunned when he heard this, and just as he was about to ask, Boss Guan stopped him: "I happen to have a treasure from the Ru Kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty here. If this young lady really wants to collect it, can she serve tea in the backyard?"

"Okay." The woman nodded and agreed.

"please!"

Boss Guan solemnly made a "please" gesture. He personally led the way, and at the same time told the waiter not to enter the backyard and disturb him unless necessary.

Backyard living room.

Boss Guan carefully closed the door and walked up to the woman with some restraint: "Miss Yingzi, you are here. I received the news that you are coming and I have been looking forward to it."

The woman took off her sunglasses, revealing a pretty face that looked both angry and happy. It was none other than the disappeared Sakurako from Keiichi Kondo.

"Sekiya-kun, thank you for your hard work!" Yingzi said lightly, walked over and sat down.

"For the sake of the empire, Guan Gu will go through fire and water, even to the death!" Boss Guan's face flushed with excitement. No one knew whether he was pretending or not.

"Guan Gujun, you made great contributions to the Wenxi fire last year. The superiors originally planned to transfer you back to the headquarters, but your position is extremely important. Therefore, you will be allowed to stay in Xiangcheng. You will not have any complaints. Right?" Yingzi glanced at him sideways.

"No, Guan Gu serves the empire wherever he is. Instead of going to work at the headquarters, it is better to stay here. Specifically, my role will be greater." Boss Guan bowed and said.

"I joined the Mountain City Battlefield Service Corps as a singer and came to Xiangcheng to perform condolences. You are the only one who knows my identity. You are not allowed to mention it to a third person. And your buddy, do you know how to explain it?" Sakura asked coldly.

"clear."

"The task my adoptive father gave me was to break into the military command, but it is not that easy to get into the military command. It was through some strange combination of circumstances that I became a small movie star. Now it is even harder to join the military command, but It's not impossible, I may need your help." Sakurako said.

"Please give me your orders, Miss Sakurako."

"I currently live at No. 2 Mingxuli, Swan Pond, outside the south gate. My room..."

"I remember, Miss Yingzi." Boss Guan nodded.

"It's nothing, don't contact me."

"Miss Sakurako, Director Kondo sent a secret message for you." Boss Guan suddenly said.

"Oh, you gave it to me, what did you say?"

"Wait a mininute."

Boss Guan left the living room and went to the bedroom. He quickly walked out with a telegraph newspaper in his hand, handed it to Yingzi and said: "Miss Yingzi, I just received this last night. I didn't expect you to come today." ”

Yingzi took it, glanced at the content of the message, her face changed slightly, and then said: "I don't know much about the composition of the field service group, but there is indeed a team, and they set off first. A person arrived in Xiangcheng, I don’t know the specific situation very well, I need to investigate and find out.”

"What Director Kondo means is that if this team is the key to our failure in the Battle of Yingtian, then it will also pose a huge threat to us." Boss Guan said, "If there is a chance, Director Kondo hopes that we Get rid of it at all costs."

"If this is the case, these people who came to Xiangcheng hiding their identities must be strictly protected. And with our own strength, can we do it?" Yingzi asked.

"I don't know about this. Your Excellency, the head of the agency, may have arrangements." Boss Guan said, "In the past two years, I have also gathered a team outside the city. Although the number is not large, it can still be used at critical moments."

"Are they those local masters who went to their graves to fight?" Yingzi asked.

"Yes, these people are all desperadoes. They will do things as long as they are paid. Even if someone gives them money to assassinate the mayor of Xiangcheng, they will not hesitate." Boss Guan nodded.

“These people are available, but don’t let them know too much.”

"Sekiya understands this."

"I'm leaving. If there is good Song porcelain, I will come again." Yingzi stood up and said goodbye directly.

Boss Guan followed closely and personally sent Yingzi out of the store.

"Close the door and take inventory. We are closed today." Boss Guan put his hands behind his hands and ordered the waiter.

…

Evening hours.

"Team Qin, the number of Japanese secret messages intercepted this afternoon is obviously at least 30% less than the same period yesterday." Huo Tian (Wu Yan) entered Luo Yao's office and reported.

"How's the war going on the front lines?"

"The fighting was fierce. The Japanese Sixth Division once forcibly crossed the Xinqiang River in the afternoon and rushed to the south bank, but it was still beaten back." Huo Tian (Wu Yan) said.

Luo Yao nodded: "So, their communication contact should not decrease, but increase. What about the direction of Yingtian?"

"The Shangcun detachment is not very willing to attack, and we don't know what the conspiracy is. The communication situation is relatively normal."

"What about the other directions?"

"In the direction of northern Jiangxi, there is not much change."

"In other words, only the Japanese military communications on the front side of Xinqiang River have changed?" Luo Yao frowned, this situation sounded a bit bad.

"Bring over all the Japanese military messages intercepted and deciphered today, I want to read them!" Luo Yao ordered.
