Chapter 292
After hearing Zhang Xing's answer, Lao Banjiu shook his head, with a hint of confusion and regret in his eyes:
"Why not? As long as you want, you can. If you can't, it only means that you haven't let go of the burden in your heart. Sometimes, the heavier the burden, the heavier the road. After throwing it away, you may find that you can live easily."
Zhang Xing directly asked back: "Then have you let go of the burden in your heart, and have you untied the shackles?"
This question was like a sharp arrow, shooting straight at Lao Banjiu. Lao Banjiu didn't seem to expect Zhang Xing to be so direct. His expression stagnated slightly and he was silent for a while.
In this short silence, the atmosphere in the car seemed to solidify, with only the slight breathing of the two people.
Zhang Xing sighed again and said slowly:
"Captain, in fact, you and I are the same people. Some constraints and burdens are destined to be unremoved from the day we carry them. This is a personal destiny and a national responsibility."
"Since it cannot be untied, it is destined to be carried. Since it is destined, why worry and be depressed? It is better to wipe away the tears, let the laughter flow, and continue to carry the so-called shackles and beliefs that we deserve to carry, and go on."
Zhang Xing's words echoed in the car. After he said this, he felt a little regretful in his heart, because he realized that there was a little educational meaning in his words. After all, Lao Banjiu, who is a self-willed person, obviously does not want others to teach him how to be a man.
However, what Zhang Xing did not expect was that Lao Banjiu suddenly slapped his thigh at this time, and the sound was particularly loud in the quiet car:
"Insightful, quite interesting, haha! You and I are the same, you and I are both mortals."
Zhang Xing slightly widened his eyes and glanced at Lao Banjiu. Obviously, he did not expect that this guy had such a straightforward side.
In his impression, Lao Banjiu was always serious and deep, and such a hearty laugh was rare.
But after laughing twice, Lao Banjiu pondered and said:
"Since you have decided, then go ahead. I will clean up the mess in the small place. But you only have two days at most to complete what you want to do. If you exceed this time, it may be too late to save the situation."
Zhang Xing understood Lao Banjiu's meaning. At present, Zhang Xing followed Shanqi to disguise himself as a police officer of the Southwest Division and escaped from Guangjue Temple. Although Lao Banjiu could still deal with it and let the enemy think that Zhang Xing was still hiding in Guangjue Temple, this matter would not last long. With Junji Watanabe's vigilance, once the search time is exceeded, he will definitely make other plans.
Even if he has evidence of the underground base, if he cannot make these evidences work within two days, the enemy will soon move the base and use their authority and power to subvert the original truth. At that time, darkness will completely cover the day.
Zhang Xing's expression became solemn, and he nodded deeply, indicating that he had clearly realized the severity of the situation.
The old dove then took out a Parker pen from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Xing. Although the brand of the pen could not be seen clearly, it flashed a low-key and steady luster under the dim light inside the car.
"This pen was won by me in the steel company competition. The military district leader who gave me the award was Chief of Staff Wu Enquan. I had several conversations with Chief of Staff Wu that year. He always wanted to transfer me to the rocket artillery special forces, but due to various factors, I finally joined the national security team."
"Recently, I heard that he joined the Kyoto General Administration as a special commissioner. Although the news has not been officially announced, I heard that he has begun to work internally. I think higher-level departments should have paid attention to some problems within the General Administration, so this is a good signal for us."
"You go to Beijing After that, you can go directly to Chief of Staff Wu. I haven't seen Chief of Staff Wu for many years, and we have lost contact over the years. I don't know if he still remembers this Parker pen and me. Anyway, you can take this pen with you, just in case he can still remember something, at least he can trust you a little more. "
Zhang Xing took the Parker pen handed over by Lao Banjiu, and his heart was full of emotion. He knew that when Lao Banjiu handed this heavy pen to him, he also put everyone's trust in his hands, and even put the last glimmer of hope in his hands.
Since the incident of the rass organization, Lao Banjiu seemed to be hiding in the bureau, as if he had done nothing, but in fact he had been acting silently. He was like a chess player hiding in the dark, quietly laying out and planning, and every step was under his control, but it was difficult for others to detect.
If the team leader Geng Jianhui is the light of national security in Zhang Xing's heart, it is the shiningThe bright beacon that inspires him to move forward, then the old dove is the cornerstone of the light. The cornerstone is often inconspicuous and easily overlooked, but it is solid and reliable, and steadily supports the whole situation.
Just after taking the Parker pen, Zhang Xing did not expect that the old dove took out three notes from his pocket, which were red, yellow and green.
The appearance of these three notes caught Zhang Xing off guard. He did not understand what the old dove was going to do.
Then the old dove instructed Zhang Xing:
"I originally wanted to follow the wise way of the ancients and give you three tips, but now the tips are really hard to find. I searched the office and couldn't find them. I had no choice but to use these red, yellow and green notes instead."
As the old dove spoke, he handed the notes to Zhang Xing, with a special solemnity in his eyes.
"Each of these three colored notes has a line of words written on it. The first red note has a very complicated content. You can only open it when you meet Director Song and your Jiang Brigade. This is a very critical moment. The second h-colored note can be opened after you meet Chief of Staff Wu. The content on it may be helpful to you."
"The third green note is a little special. Don't open it unless it is absolutely necessary. If it is not an emergency, keep it well. If you are afraid of confusing the order, remember it in the order of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, with red at the front. I think the first thing you should do after you go to Kyoto is to find Director Song and Jiang Yu, and then go to see Chief of Staff Wu."
Zhang Xing stared at the three notes handed over by Lao Banjiu with a puzzled look on his face. He really didn't understand Lao Banjiu's intention.
In this information age, all kinds of high-tech equipment and encrypted communication methods are available, and information transmission has become extremely convenient and safe. However, these three ordinary sticky notes look so simple and primitive.
Moreover, sticky notes are thin and small, and it is easy to lose them if you carry them with you. If you are not careful, you may not know where they fall.
Just when Zhang Xing was puzzled, the old dove said with a serious expression:
"Remember, keep them well, don't lose them, don't underestimate these three notes, I carefully prepared them for you, they may save your life at a critical moment, and don't ask me why I gave you three notes, you just need to do what I say."
Although Zhang Xing was full of doubts, since the old dove said so, he would definitely choose to do it.
Zhang Xing then deliberately put the three notes into the small bag on the side of the backpack, and carefully zipped it up to ensure that the notes would not fall out.
After doing all this, Lao Banjiu patted Zhang Xing's shoulder in a carefree manner, with his mouth slightly raised, and said with his usual unrestrained smile:
"Okay, I have explained everything that should be explained. This trip depends on your own luck. It is time to say goodbye."
After that, he handed his car key to Zhang Xing, and his eyes were like entrusting his most precious treasure to the other party.
"I will give you this car for the time being. You must treat it carefully. To others, it may be a piece of scrap metal, but to me it is an old treasure. If it weren't for the long distance, I wouldn't want to lend it to you. When you come back, you must come back to me in a neat and tidy manner."
Zhang Xing's heart was filled with unusual touches. He slowly took the key. At that moment, he was thinking about thanking Lao Banjiu for everything he had done for him.
However, before he could finish his words, Lao Banjiu spoke directly:
"You don't need to thank me, and you don't need to thank me. I'm not doing this to help you or anyone else. In the end, I'm actually helping myself."
As Lao Banjiu spoke, he slowly lit a cigarette, took a puff, turned around and got off the bike, and walked straight towards the motorcycle that Zhang Xing rode.
His movements were quick and decisive, just like his usual way of doing things. He stepped onto the motorcycle with a big stride, sat down steadily, and finally looked back at Zhang Xing, waved his hand symbolically: "Let's go!"
Then, he twisted the throttle hard, and the motorcycle instantly made a deafening roar, and then drove away from this place like an arrow from a bow.
Zhang Xing quietly watched Lao Banjiu's gradually receding back, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
After a moment, as if he had made up his mind, he turned around and walked towards Lao Banjiu's car. He first opened the car door gently, then carefully sat in the driver's seat.His hands tightly grasped the steering wheel as if holding some hope, his eyes were filled with determination, and he looked straight in the direction of Kyoto.
Finally, he stepped hard on the accelerator, and the car sped away on the road like a running beast, and the dust raised by the wheels formed a long trail behind the car.
