Spy Wars: I'm the boss, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 104 Li Dayong's Sacrifice

During the war-torn years, the code name "Master" was like a gust of wind, sweeping across the entire battlefield and shocking both the enemy and us.

She shuttled through the smoke of gunpowder, mysterious like a dragon, with only her sharp claws and fangs exposed, which frightened the Japanese invaders and they honored her as the "murderous devil."

The Japanese were terrified of this legendary leader. It was rumored that she roamed the battlefield alone, picking off Japanese commanders or quietly ransacking their arsenals, causing heavy losses to the Japanese army and greatly reducing their morale.

However, when Tang Xiaoxiao accidentally heard this title, she curled her lips in disdain, as if she was mocking those ignorant enemies. "The little devils are really blind," she thought to herself, "I am a fairy from heaven, how can I be the devil they call me?" She moved swiftly, like a dancing butterfly, and every attack was a fatal mockery of the enemy.

Even the top leaders of the Kuomintang heard of the reputation of this heroic woman and tried to recruit her to join their camp. However, Tang Xiaoxiao was as elusive as the clouds in the sky, and they had never even seen her figure.

This year, the summer heat wave was more intense than usual, as if even the air was burning.

The sun was scorching, and even the Japanese devils who were used to being arrogant and domineering shrank in the city and dared not show their heads easily.

This gave Tang Xiaoxiao a rare opportunity to catch her breath, and she decided to take a day off, away from the hustle and bustle of the battlefield.

In the early morning, the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, scattering patches of light on the quiet mountain forest.

Tang Xiaoxiao arrived early in this piece of pure land that had not been disturbed by the flames of war. Looking at the fruit trees all over the mountain, she smiled like a flower, with a childlike joy in her eyes. She jumped lightly onto a tall fruit tree, and her agile skills seemed like an innate talent. It was hard to believe that this was the "murderous devil" who frightened the enemy on the battlefield.

"Oh, these fruits are growing so well." She gently picked one and took a bite. The sweet juice filled her mouth. It was the purest taste of nature and a rare peaceful enjoyment for her in this chaotic world. The breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, as if whispering, telling the secrets of the forest and her story.

She sat quietly on the top of the tree, letting the sunlight shine on her body and enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

Her thoughts drifted away, recalling everything that had happened over the years, the fierce battles, the comrades she had lost, and the innocent people she had rescued from the Japanese army. She felt both pride and sadness in her heart.

But she knew that the war was not over yet, she could not stop, she had to keep moving forward until the dawn of peace illuminated this land.

The afterglow of the setting sun is like golden sand, gently sprinkling on the rolling hills and dense forests, covering the world with a layer of mysterious golden gauze.

In this tranquil scene, Tang Xiaoxiao quietly slid down from a tall ancient tree. Her movements were light and graceful, as if she was an elf wandering in the woods.

With a satisfied smile on her lips, the prey in her hand was the result of a day's hard hunting, and also a surprise she brought to the brigade.

As soon as I stepped into the gate of the brigade headquarters, a young soldier came running over, his face full of nervousness and anxiety.

"Comrade Master, the brigade commander has something urgent to discuss with you. It seems to be something very important." The young soldier panted, a hint of anxiety revealed in his words.

Tang Xiaoxiao was slightly startled. What could her brother want to talk to her about? Could it be that there was another war? A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, but she didn't show it on her face.

She handed the prey in her hand to the little warrior. It was four fat hares, their fur shining in the setting sun.

"Brother Liu, please send these to the kitchen and tell them that they can have a delicious dish in the evening. Thank you." She said gently.

The soldier named Liu took the prey and his eyes lit up instantly, as if he saw the delicious dinner tonight. "Okay, Comrade Master, you are really our lucky star. Everyone will have a good meal tonight. I will ask the kitchen team to prepare more potatoes and cabbage so that everyone can taste the meat."

Although there are many people in the brigade, the prey sent by Tang Xiaoxiao, even if just as a garnish, can add a bit of flavor to the plain meal.

Tang Xiaoxiao nodded to thank Soldier Liu again, then quickly walked towards the command center.

Along the way, she had mixed feelings, both expectant and worried, wondering what urgent matter her brother had come to talk to her about.

At the door of the command center, two guards saw Tang Xiaoxiao and immediately saluted.

They were all veterans of the brigade and had long been familiar with the comrade in charge.

Knowing that she was the brigade commander's sister and a capable member of the brigade, they did not stop her but respectfully allowed her to enter the command center directly.

Inside the headquarters, the lights were dim and a serious atmosphere permeated.

Tang Xiaoxiao stepped into the door of the command center with light but firm steps. A thick atmosphere of tension was like an invisible curtain, covering the entire space with solemnity.

Brigade Commander Tang Tianque and Political Commissar Qu Xuebin stood side by side, their eyes fixed on a detailed map. At this moment, Tang Xiaoxiao's appearance did not disturb this atmosphere of concentration.

Tang Xiaoxiao calmly sat in the chair next to her brother, picked up the teapot on the table, gently filled a cup with clear and transparent green tea, drank it in one gulp, trying to use the coolness of the tea to dilute the anxiety of this hot summer.

"Xiaoxiao, you're here." Tang Tianque only then noticed that his sister had arrived. He raised his eyes and looked at his sister, his eyes flashing with deep thought, but the love and concern for his sister remained the same as before.

"Brother, does Brother Xuebin have an urgent mission to ask me this time? Are there any new moves regarding the Japanese?" Tang Xiaoxiao put down the teacup and looked directly at Tang Tianque. There was nervousness and a hint of expectation in her tone, as if she had already gotten used to this exciting life.

Tang Tianque took a deep breath, took out a telegram from the inner pocket of his military uniform, and handed it to Tang Xiaoxiao with a serious face. The telegram was woven into a mystery with dense codes, and he couldn't understand it.

I guess only the elites of their special operations department can decipher the truth behind it.

Tang Xiaoxiao took the telegram and her fingers moved deftly across the paper, like an artist unlocking a code. The strings of ciphertext turned into clear words in her hands.

With each word she solved, the expression on her face grew more severe, until finally, her face turned as pale as paper.

The content of the telegram was heart-wrenching: the underground party organization in Haizhou was severely damaged, Comrade Huang Que was exposed and unfortunately fell into the hands of the enemy, and Uncle Li Dayong, code-named Parrot, who had accompanied her for a long time, died heroically for the revolutionary cause. The superior ordered Comrade Zhangmen to go to Haizhou immediately, rescue Comrade Huang Que, and rebuild the underground communication station.

Tang Xiaoxiao's heart felt as if it was stabbed by a sharp knife, with grief and anger intertwined in her heart.

She will never forget the moment when she first left her parents. It was Uncle Li Dayong who guarded her like a solid barrier, soothed the fear in her heart with warm words, and protected her with selfless love.

Uncle Li Dayong became her protector, like a bright beacon, illuminating her way forward. His existence, like a warm lullaby, soothes the anxiety in her heart.

Every time she thought of that moment, Uncle Li's kind face would appear in front of her eyes, his eyes full of love and encouragement. His words were always so powerful, like a solid barrier, dispelling all her fears.

He would tell her interesting stories, make her laugh, and teach her how to deal with the trivialities of life, so that she could still feel the warmth of home when she was away from home.

However, life is sometimes so unpredictable. Uncle Li, who once gave her countless sense of security, quietly left this world, leaving behind only those precious memories. His departure is like a bright star extinguished in the sky, which makes people heartbroken.

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?" Tang Tianque keenly noticed his sister's abnormality, and his concern was evident in his words.

Qu Xuebin also turned around, his eyes full of worry and concern, "Xiaoxiao, if you need any help, just tell us, we are all here."

Tang Xiaoxiao forced a smile, trying hard to hold back the tears that were about to fall from her eyes, and shook her head gently, "Brother, Brother Xuebin, I'm fine. It's just that I may have to leave for a while." Her voice was soft, but full of determination.
