Time flies and we come to the year 30.

There were two heavy rains at the beginning of spring. As the heavy rain fell, the dry riverbed finally held water, and the cracked earth finally began to recover.

The frozen trees came back to life, and even the weeds began to sprout buds. The people finally saw a way to survive again. They were so happy that they ran directly into the rain to feel the long-lost dew.

After the spring rain, the villagers hurriedly sprinkled the seeds into the ground, hoping for a bumper harvest in the summer.

But Xiang Nan knew that the drought was over, but the locust plague was coming again.

Because drought is conducive to locust reproduction. It is most suitable to lay eggs in a dry environment with a humidity of 10 to 20%.

Plants in arid environments have low water content and are most suitable for locusts to eat and grow, and drought is also conducive to locust migration.

Therefore, after years of severe drought, there will always be a locust plague.

Locust plagues are very difficult to prevent and control. Even in modern times, agricultural technology has been very advanced, and there are often reports of locust plagues around the world.

What's more, during the Republic of China, agricultural technology was still very backward, so it was naturally more difficult to prevent locust plagues. Xiang Nan didn't have any hope for this.

…

He is more concerned about things in Xi'an city.

According to the timeline in the book and the play, I am afraid that Lu Zhaopeng is in danger.

He was ordered to go to the Maoqin base area to find the 36th Army. As a result, the political commissar of the 36th Army, Jiang Dacheng, went his own way and encouraged the army to attack Xi'an.

But in fact, he had betrayed him long ago.

The base of the 36th Army is in Maoqin, located in the mountainous area of ​​​​Weibei. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, a team of more than 900 people can easily disperse. Therefore, it is very difficult for the national army to enter the mountains for encirclement and suppression. .

But Weinan is a plain. There is nowhere to hide when you come here, so it is easy to be gathered and annihilated.

Jiang Dacheng wanted to bring the 36th Army out of the mountains, onto the plains, and into the encirclement. By then, the enemy would be outnumbered and we would have nowhere to hide, so it would be easy to be surrounded and annihilated.

In the play, the 36th Army was almost completely wiped out, and even Lu Zhaopeng was almost killed.

Moreover, because of Jiang Dacheng's betrayal, the underground party also suffered extremely heavy losses. The contact points in the province were almost wiped out, and many comrades such as Tailor Han and County Magistrate Hao died as a result.

Xiang Nan couldn't bear to see this tragic incident, so he decided to save them.

He immediately left Bailuyuan in the name of traveling around the world, entered Zishui County, and quietly lurked at the Kuomintang Party Headquarters, which was located on the ceiling of Yue Weishan's office.

Yue Weishan's apparent identity is the secretary-general of the Zishui County branch, but his true identity is the person in charge of the Central Unification Committee stationed in Sanqin.

He commands hundreds of spies in Zishui County, and his mission is to eliminate the rebellious parties and maintain rule.

Therefore, by lurking next to him, Xiang Nan can receive first-hand news.

And with Xiang Nan's martial arts skills and the secret agent skills inherited from James Bond, he will be able to track Yue Weishan with absolutely no mistakes.

…

After several days of tracking and lurking, Xiang Nan quickly received the key information.

A traitor was willing to surrender to Yue Weishan for the sake of a high official and a good salary. In order to keep it secret, they made an appointment to meet at a small tea shop in Xi'an City for the first time.

Xiang Nan guessed that this traitor must be Jiang Dacheng.

He then followed Yue Weishan to Xi'an City.

Yue Weishan disguised himself as an ordinary small businessman and entered the tea shop.

Some of his men disguised themselves as tea shop owners, waiters, tea patrons, and some disguised themselves as street vendors, beggars... In short, the security measures were very strict, and they were able to monitor the area within a hundred meters.

If that person had sincerely surrendered, if he had lured a fish to the bait and taken the opportunity to assassinate him, everyone present would have captured him immediately.

After a while, a tea guest entered the tea shop, but instead of sitting at the same table as Yue Weishan, he sat down next to him.

Xiang Nan couldn't be sure if he was a traitor for a moment, so he quickly used the Zixia magic skill to steal the sound.

But I heard the man whisper, "Shopkeeper Yue?"

"It's me, are you shopkeeper Jiang?" Yue Weishan asked.

"It's me." The man nodded and said, "Shopkeeper Yue, your business has been doing well in the past few years. Our business has almost been robbed."

"Shopkeeper Jiang complimented me." Yue Weishan said with a smile, "If you don't mind it, why not come to our store and join us? How about I promise you to be the second shopkeeper?"

"Second shopkeeper?" Shopkeeper Jiang was stunned, then smiled, "How much is the salary?"

"Shopkeeper Jiang is still worried that my brother will be stingy. As long as you are willing to come over, I will give you ten small yellow croakers as a greeting gift. After you come over, your salary will be the same as mine, how about it?" Yue Weishan said with a smile, and then took out a pack of things from his pocket.

Secretly handed it to shopkeeper Jiang under the table.

"Okay, Shopkeeper Yue is really generous." Shopkeeper Jiang unfolded it and took a look, his eyes lit up, "In this case, we have an agreement."

"Shopkeeper Jiang is really quick to talk." Yue Weishan said with a smile, "Brother gave you a little greeting gift, so you have to give him a little gift in return."

"Okay, then I'll point out two rabbits and give them to Shopkeeper Yue." Shopkeeper Jiang said immediately, "Their provincial capital contact point is..."

When Xiang Nan heard this, he had already confirmed his identity. Seeing that he was about to break the news, he immediately stopped hesitating, took out his pistol, pointed it at Shopkeeper Jiang and shot him.

With his marksmanship, he is guaranteed to hit every target.

Sure enough, a shot was fired, and as soon as Shopkeeper Jiang spoke, he was shot in the head.

When Yue Weishan saw this, he was furious and immediately ordered his men to search for the shooter.

But there is still no time.

After Xiang Nan fired the shot, he immediately jumped away. In a short time, he had already run several miles, and the agents could not catch up even if they killed him.

…

After dealing with the traitor Jiang Dacheng, Xiang Nan quietly came to the tailor shop at night and decrypted a series of secrets he had collected from Yue Weishan, such as the national army's plan to suppress the communists, the national army's defense map, the spy's infiltration list, and the telegram code

Ben waited and placed it at the door of the tailor shop.

Then, he knocked lightly on the door three times.

Tailor Han had just fallen asleep when he heard a knock on the door and immediately woke up. He quietly came to the door and carefully looked out through the crack in the door, and saw the package on the ground.

He quickly took it into the house, opened it, and was shocked.

These are top-secret information, and every piece of it is very precious. To obtain it, you have to put in a lot of effort and sacrifice many comrades to achieve it, but now it is dropped out of thin air, just like a windfall from the sky.

In addition, he also saw a letter from the package, which explained the whole story of Jiang Dacheng's murder.

Tailor Han was shocked when he saw it.

He has not received news of Jiang Dacheng's assassination, but he has met Jiang Dacheng and knows that he is the political commissar of the 36th Army and has just come to the city for a meeting.

Unexpectedly, he was actually killed, and he was actually a big traitor.
