The Ancestral Tomb Mountain is the location of the ancestral tomb of the Yan family clan, where dozens of generations of ancestors of the Yan family are buried.

Every night, it becomes particularly gloomy. Basically, no one dares to appear nearby after dark, especially on dark nights like tonight, where there is no fingers in the darkness, and no one dares to approach the ancestral grave mountain.

However, there are really people in this world who are not afraid of ghosts.

Under the dark night, a dark shadow came from the valley ahead like a ghost, and walked towards the cemetery built at the foot of Zuhun Mountain in the dark. At the entrance of the cemetery, there were several old houses built. The only purpose was to provide rest for the clan elders who came to Zuhun Mountain to sweep the tombs. However, it is not Qingming or the end of the New Year, and it is night again, so naturally the clan elders will not come here to rest.

However, when the dark shadow was approaching the old house, an accident happened.

A sneer suddenly came from the old house, and a sinister voice said, "I didn't expect that there are really people who are not afraid of ghosts. Do you know that you are about to die?"

The dark shadow coming from the valley in front replied: "If you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night."

The ghost laughter in the old house became silent. After a moment, a little soybean-like light lit up. Then two black shadows stood up from the grass on both sides of the old house, first searched the human body, and led the man into the old house in the middle.

As soon as he entered the house, Wei Guoqiang saw Yan Sanquan sitting under the oil lamp.

Wei Guoqiang said angrily: "Captain Yan, there is no need to choose the meeting place in this ghost place, right? You won't even know that I'm walking in the way, let alone how ugly there are."

"You know what a fool." Yan Sanquan said, "It is because of the incompetent people here that there will be no people and will not be discovered by the intelligence department's eyeliner. Otherwise, would you really think I would be willing to stay in such a ghost place?"

"Okay, when I didn't say anything." Wei Guoqiang raised his hands and didn't want to continue the topic.

Yan Sanquan asked, "Did you contact your people this time?"

"I've contacted me. My people told me that Xu Shijiu will set off for Chitu Village tomorrow afternoon to meet important figures sent by the Central Plains Bureau of the Communist Party of China." Wei Guoqiang nodded and continued, "Also, on the way back to Yanjia Town, guess who did I meet?"

Yan Sanquan asked, "Who have you met? Could it be that he really met a ghost?"

"Go to you, Captain Yan, don't scare people, okay?" Wei Guoqiang's face turned pale. He was so scared that he had just walked to the ancestral grave mountain, especially when he encountered a pangolin digging a hole on the way, and the sand he dug was thrown out, which was like a sand digging ghost in southern Anhui folk legend.

Wei Guoqiang still felt scared when he thought about it, and then continued: "On the way back, I met a fellow student who was trained in the same period as me."

"Well, your classmates at the same time?" Yan Sanquan said, "Are you talking about the Military Control Commission?"

"Yes, it's the Military Control Commission." Wei Guoqiang said, "and it's definitely not the Intelligence Department."

"Hey, it's interesting now. I didn't expect that there were people from the Military Control Commission to get involved." Yan Sanquan touched his chin with no shave for two days, and had already grown green beards. He pondered, "It would be better if people from the Military Control Commission to get involved, but we have a greater chance of success."

"Hmm?" Wei Guoqiang said in confusion, "How do you say this?"

Yan Sanquan asked without answering, "Captain Guard, I ask you, if you were Xu Shijiu, under what circumstances would your vigilance be reduced to the weakest?"

"Are you exam me?" Wei Guoqiang said.

"That's right, can you call me back?" Yan Sanquan said.

"It's very simple. After the assassination attempt, Xu Shijiu's vigilance will be reduced to the weakest."

"The answer is correct." Yan San snapped his fingers and said, "So, let the group of idiots from the Military Control Commission come to die first. When they fail, we will take action. In this way, our chances of success will be at least more than 60%."

The chances of assassinating a person like Xu Shijiu are already very high.

Wei Guoqiang couldn't help but throw a strange look at Yan three times. If he hadn't known this guy's foot, Wei Guoqiang would have almost doubted whether this guy was also a lurking military command agent? Otherwise, how could he know so many assassination techniques?

"However, we must first figure out where the military commander will choose to start." Yan Sanquan said again, "Although you are working for the Japanese now, you are from the military commander after all, and the military commander does not know that you have rebelled, so it is most appropriate to leave this matter to you."

Wei Guoqiang nodded, he was indeed unscrupulous in this matter.

Zhang Wenqing hurried into Gu Zhutong's office and reported: "The General Secretary, the Military Control Commission sent a secret telegram from the Military Control Commission that Xu Shijiu will go to Longkou tomorrow morning, and the Chitu Village at the junction of Qingyang counties will meet Zhu Lunguo, the acting secretary of the Central Plains Bureau of the Communist Party of China. The Military Control Commission sent an assassination team to Longkou will set up an ambush in the middle to find an opportunity to assassinate Xu Shijiu."

"Tomorrow morning?" Gu Zhutong nodded and asked again, "How confident do you think the Military Control Commission is?"

"I'm afraid this low position is hard to say, but it should be quite sure, right?" Zhang Wenqing pondered, "After all, the military commander sent to Longkou this time is a famous lazy person. Zhang Xiaolin, one of the three major talents in the Shanghai Qing Gang, died at the gun of this person."

Gu Zhu said, "In this case, we may really be prepared. We will call Zihan immediately and order him to prepare for receiving the troops. Once we receive news of Xu Shijiu's death, we will immediately control the troops and decisively execute all the Communists under house arrest for espionage."

Zhang Wenqing said: "But the Chief Executive Officer, the relationship between Li Zihan and Xu Shijiu is extraordinary after all. If he sent this telegram to Li Zihan at this time, would he realize that the Military Control Commission might assassinate Xu Shijiu and tell Xu Shijiu his guess?"

Gu Zhutong fell into silence.

What Zhang Wenqing said undoubtedly makes sense, because Li Zihan did have such a precedent. Last time he went to Longkou to inspect the sect, he instructed the Military Control Commission to assassinate Xu Shijiu. The Military Control Commission was even ready, but it failed because of Li Zihan's indictment.

"What you said makes sense." Gu Zhutong pondered for a while and finally said, "It would be better to send this telegram to Li Zihan later. However, it is necessary to send a telegram to Li Zihan first to let him closely monitor the Communist Party under house arrest in the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army Headquarters in Southern Anhui, if necessary..."

"I understand." Zhang Wenqing nodded and turned around.

Watching Zhang Wenqing's figure go away, Gu Zhutong couldn't help but breathe a long sigh.

Gu Zhutong had been holding this breath that Xu Shijiu had received in Longkou for a long time. This time, he was finally about to exaggerate it, but Gu Zhutong had no sense of happiness in his heart. In theory, he should be happy if he had the opportunity to get rid of Xu Shijiu, but when things happened yesterday, Gu Zhutong found that he could not be happy at all.

Speaking of which, Gu Zhutong actually didn't want to see Xu Shijiu being assassinated. He felt that Xu Shijiu should die on the battlefield.

In particular, when Gu Zhutong made a fuss and prepared to restore the 19th Army system, Xu Shijiu's tendency showed made Gu Zhutong even more convinced that if he could really restore the 19th Army system, Xu Shijiu would really be able to return to the battle sequence of the Third War Zone. Unfortunately, this is just a hypothesis.

Unfortunately, this is just an assumption after all. Even if Gu Zhutong has this intention, he will never be able to pass Chairman Jiang's stance. Chairman Jiang has been deeply in his heart for the 19th Route Army, so he would never agree to restore the 19th Army's system.

Ye Ruxue walked into Xu Shijiu's office stepping on the cat, stood upright and said: "Commander, I will once again solemnly suggest you to cancel the plan to go to Chitu Village, or to reschedule it."

Xu Shijiu waved his hand and said, "Don't change what has been decided."

Ye Ruxue said: "Commander, I got the news from reliable channels. The Military Control Commission and Jisifei No. 76 have sent assassins to Longkou. They are likely to attack you tomorrow."

"Then I have to go even more." Xu Shijiu smiled, "The old saying goes, only a thousand days to catch thieves, but there is never a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days. Instead of the Military Control Commission, the assassin of Jisifei No. 76 hid in the dark, and I was always worried. It would be better to take this opportunity to lure them out and catch them all in one go."

"But, this is too dangerous." Ye Ruxue said, "I don't think it's right."
