Chapter 2058 The price paid

How can you give away the things you have acquired so easily, even if they are not yours!

During the war years, we were not rich to begin with, but now there was Zhao Zhiguo, who came to snatch food from their Jinsui Army.

No matter what, as long as he can save the airport and let Mr. Yan act rogue, he will do it.

Now it’s up to Zhao Zhi whether Congress will give them a chance to act rogue!

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the reporter invites you to proofread the manuscript!" an officer of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army reported.

"Get out!"

Mr. Yan roared.

In line with the principle of using it to death if it is useful, and getting rid of it if it is not useful, Mr. Yan realized that he must not continue to anger Zhao Zhiguo at this time.

If the airport is lost because of innocuous rumors about Zhao Zhiguo, Mr. Yan has really lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds.

The Jinsui Army officer responsible for conveying the reporter's news was stunned by Mr. Yan's voice.

Just a few hours ago, Mr. Yan and the seven "Calabash Babies" were chatting and laughing, and they were inseparable. Why did their attitude now take a 180-degree turn?

In Mr. Yan's office, the officers of the Jinsui Army were thinking of ways day and night, pondering how to deal with Zhao Zhiguo's return to the airport. Mr. Yan had no time to pay attention to the seven reporters.

The seven reporters didn't understand why Mr. Yan didn't come today, and they didn't know how cold Mr. Yan would be to them.

Inside the hotel, Tian Kezhi and Qiu Zian's rooms had the curtains drawn, and they observed the situation on the street through the gaps in the curtains.

"There are at least five at the front door!" Qiu Zian said.

"Five? Mr. Yan really thinks highly of us, there are only six of us in total!" Tian Kezhi said.

"We are considered distinguished guests, especially me!" Qiu Zian said.

Qiu Zian was very familiar with this place, maybe even more familiar with it than the soldiers of the Jinsui Army who were following them.

Naturally, they had to send more manpower to prevent Qiu Zian from getting rid of them on their territory.

"Go and have a look at the back door?" Tian Kezhi suggested.

"Don't think about it. With so many people watching from the front, there must be a lot of people at the back door as well."

Mr. Yan's soldiers are not good at fighting, but they are still very professional in tracking.

"You are right to follow, it will save us a lot of energy!" Tian Kezhi said, "Is there no other way?"

They were constantly being watched by Jinsui Army soldiers, and they could do nothing.

Tian Kezhi still wants to talk to reporters!

If we continue to wait, if Mr. Yan goes berserk because of the problems at the airport and drives them out of the Shanxi-Sui Army defense zone, he will never have a chance to find the reporter again.

"Chief of Staff Tian, ​​would you like to treat me to dinner?" Qiu Zian said suddenly.

"Ah? What do you mean?"

Tian Kezhi didn't react for a moment. Why did Qiu Zian suddenly say that he wanted to invite him to dinner?

"It's getting dark, aren't you hungry? If you make Mr. Yan angry, the Jinsui Army will definitely not treat us to dinner. We have to deal with it ourselves." Qiu Zian said seriously.

Mr. Yan did not deliberately make things difficult for them. He was already worried about the problems at the airport, and he would not have the time to treat them to a meal.

"What's special about this place?"

"The locals love pasta, and the noodles are more unique than anywhere else." Qiu Zian suggested eating noodles.

"Is it expensive? I'm not as rich as our commander. Don't let me go bankrupt with your bowl of noodles." Tian Kezhi felt uneasy.

Although the Eighth Route Army has subsidies, it sometimes does not have sufficient finances and will issue IOUs or pay them in the form of border area tickets. In General Yan's defense area, people do not recognize these things.

“Don’t worry, I’ll have plenty to eat for you!”

Tian Kezhi and his party left the hotel openly, and the Jinsui Army who was following them immediately followed them.

"It seems that we underestimated them. There should be no less than eight people in total. In addition to those who are watching the hotel, they have deployed ten people at the main entrance." Qiu Zian glanced behind him.

There are not many people coming and going on the street. With so many people heading in the same direction, it is easy to detect them.

"They don't seem to have any intention of hiding their whereabouts," Tian Kezhi said.

"Chief of Staff Tian, ​​there won't be any confidential documents in your luggage, right?" Qiu Zian asked.

Tian Kezhi frowned: "Could they enter the hotel room and search our luggage?"

"They can do this kind of thing. If we kill someone right now, we will definitely be able to block them in the room."

"Forget it, there's nothing important, just a few changes of clothes." Tian Kezhi said, "They can search if they want."

There were only a few customers sitting in front of a noodle shop. They did not talk about current affairs, but just ate noodles by themselves. Not many people in this era can afford white noodles. For many people, eating a bowl of shaved noodles is enough.

Improved food.

"Are you sure this sliced ​​noodles are delicious?" Tian Kezhi looked at the few customers.

Qiu Zian smiled and said nothing: "Boss, here are six bowls of noodles!"

The boss greeted them with a smile on his face and was very enthusiastic. He spoke with a local accent. It seemed that the boss did not expect that so many people would suddenly come to eat.

"Bosses, please wait a moment!"

The boss poured a bowl of hot water for everyone and then went to work.

"Brothers, please stop standing around and come over and have something to eat together?"

Qiu Zian called to the Jinsui Army soldiers who were following them. After following them for so long, they must be hungry too.

The soldiers of the Jinsui Army who were following were worried about being exposed, but they didn't expect Qiu Zian to greet them so blatantly.

A few soldiers stood not far away, looking at each other in confusion. It was neither a matter of going nor a matter of not going.

Seeing that they didn't respond, Qiu Zian stopped calling them: "Chief of Staff Tian, ​​I have to pay first in a while."

"Can't I give it to you after you finish eating? It won't take long."

"It's the rule here to give money first!"

Tian Kezhi took out the money reluctantly. When Qiu Zian took the money, he still held it tightly: "Don't fool me!"

"Chief of Staff, even if I deceive our commander, I can't deceive you. I don't lie to my friends." Qiu Zian said.

When the six bowls of noodles were served, Qiu Zian handed the money to the boss and patted his hand: "Boss, business is booming!"

"Thank you for your kind words, I can barely make a living." The boss took the money and bowed his hands in thanks.

Neither the soldiers of the Jinsui Army nor Tian Kezhi who followed them paid attention to Tian Kezhi's movements.

The reason why he didn't pay attention was because the soldiers of the Jinsui Army were hungry and didn't want to look at the steaming noodles, otherwise they would be even hungrier.

The reason Tian Kezhi didn't pay attention was because he wanted to try how authentic the knife-cut noodles Qiu Zian mentioned was.

"There's nothing special about it. It's similar to the ones in our defense area, just a little less vinegary." Tian Kezhi tasted it carefully, as if he was eating meat.

Qiu Zian just smiled and said nothing.

"Free food is always the best, right, brothers?" Qiu Zian asked the other four guards.
