In just a month, Sand City had become an 'empty city'.
"Second Master, Second Master sent a message asking you to call him back.”
"Okay, I'll go back later. By the way, Chunzhi, you should go to Hong Kong after a while! Serve my master and mistress."
"Second Master, Second Master doesn't need me. I want to stay by your side and serve you!”
Zhou Tong looked at Chun Zhi's serious expression and helplessly shook his head.
"Forget it, I don't care about you anymore. Try not to go out for the time being. The world is chaotic, and it's not safe for a girl to go out alone.”
"Hehe, thank you, Second Master. Don't worry, I don't need to go out to do anything. The purchasing work is done by Xiao Yu.”
"Go ahead and bully Xiao Yu. Only Xiao Yu can tolerate your bad temper.”
The Second Master went to Xianggang, and the servants in the house were either dismissed or taken away. As for the rest, they were left to Zhou Tong.
Spring Branch was the little girl whose head had nearly exploded when Zhou Tong was training. Xiao Yu was an orphan that Zhou Tong had adopted later, and her background was similar to Zhou Tong's.
After Liu Quan and Zhang Bao left, Xiao Yu took care of the family matters. It was another form of promotion.
"Master, how have you been in Xianggang recently? Master's wife's body is still alright!"
"Yes, everything is good. Oh right, I'm looking for you this time mainly because I need your help with something.”
"Master, what are you talking about? Just tell me what you want me to do.”
"Do you have any impression of Ji An?”
"En, Martial Uncle Ji An, naturally I won't forget. Why, is this matter related to Martial Uncle Ji An?”
Ji An was Er Yuehong's fellow disciple. Both of them were equally good at fighting, and they were loyal and strong.
"It's like this. Ji An has always been unwilling to accept me and wants to compete with me. I originally thought that I could hide in Xianggang this time, but in the end, I was still found by him.”
"It just so happens that I need to escort a national treasure to the hands of a patriotic merchant in Hong Kong. Therefore, I agreed to escort half of the journey by myself.”
"Martial Uncle Ji An is still the same. Could it be that something happened to Martial Uncle Ji An on the way?”
The other end of the phone fell silent. It seemed that something had really happened to his Uncle-Master Ji An.
"That's right. Yesterday, I received Xin Die's message from Ji An and found out what happened!”
"Ji An was intercepted by the Japanese on his way to escort the national treasure.”
"Master, what do you need me to do? Just say it!"
"I hope you can help me with this trip. Since I have already retired, I originally planned to let Liu Quan take my place in this last trip, but I didn't expect something to go wrong in the middle.”
"Liu Quan recently sent three batches of people, but there was no news at all. I thought that there was definitely something fishy about this matter.”
"Alright, Master. Send someone to send the letter butterfly over in the next two days. I'll help you finish the last part of the journey.”
Zhou Tong and Er Yue Hong chatted about some interesting things that had happened recently before hanging up.
Soon after, Zhou Tong dialed Liu Quan's number. After switching lines several times, the call finally connected.
"Second Master, there's something fishy about this matter. I suspect that the Nippon army is fishing for law enforcement.”
"No, they don't have that much time to target the civil organizations. Later, go to my master's place and send Xin Die and the clues you've collected to me.”
"Alright, Second Master, I'll do it now. If it goes well, you'll receive the specific information early tomorrow morning.”
"Okay, that's it for now."
"National treasure? Patriotic businessman? This matter shouldn't be so simple!”
Zhou Tong thought to himself, if it was purely an antique national treasure, if it was a person, they definitely wouldn't have spent so much effort to capture Martial Uncle Ji An.
Although China's national treasures were valuable to the Japanese, they were not worth the effort.
Moreover, if it was really just a treasure, with Uncle Ji An's personality, he would rather destroy it than let the Japanese benefit.
Wasn't it just fate? Uncle Ji An was not a person who was afraid of death. Otherwise, he would not have released Xin Die. He repeatedly urged Second Master to help him bring it back to Xianggang.
Early the next morning, Chun Zhi brought a package to the study.
"Second Master, this is today's information. Take a look.”
"Yes, go down. Help me brew a pot of tea later.”
Zhou Tong opened the parcel, which contained intelligence reports sent from all over the country. At the very top of the letter was a small white jade bottle.
"There are actually five to six hundred people in the camp. Senior Uncle Ji An's reputation was not small. He actually started off as a major.”
"In the mountains near Water Fairy Town? The entrance of the tomb was camped by the Japanese army.”
"The experts of the three teams have been captured. It seems that this team is not simple.”
According to Liu Quan's description in the letter, there were a total of three groups of people. The first group had five people, the second group had three people, and the third group had two people. A total of ten people.
The fewer people there were, the more capable they were. These ten people had only explored the location of the tomb before they were completely wiped out.
Liu Quan described the Nippon troops in three words: they were heavily guarded and disciplined.
"Chun Zhi, go and call Xiao Yu over. Tell him that I have something to discuss with him.”
After a while, Haruji brought a 16 - 17 year old youth to the study. Xiao Yu had a kind face and would always inadvertently gain the favor of others.
That was only on the surface. Under that honest and kind face, there was a dark heart hidden.
"Second Master, you called for me?"
"The war is getting more and more intense. Send a telegram to the people below. If it's not something particularly important, try to reduce the frequency of sending letters.”
"I'm going out for a while. I'll leave the house to you for the time being.”
"Yes, Second Master. Don't you need to bring anyone this time? Or are you going out yourself?"
"Yes, do well. When the war is over, I'll be the matchmaker for you and Chunzhi.”
"Hehe, Second Master, have you noticed?"
"Do you think I'm a fool? The two of you are so brazen. You can leave.”
"Yes, Second Master. I'll go down now. I really hope that this war can end as soon as possible!”
Zhou Tong looked at Xiao Yu smiling foolishly, probably thinking about the blissful life she would have with Chun Zhi.
After packing up, he headed to Water Fairy Town. Speaking of which, there was a famous character in Water Fairy Town. After finishing this mission, he would go there to relax!
