"Ah?" Fu Jiayou was startled, and then hurriedly described, "These two Jinyiwei, one is taller, one is shorter, one is stronger, and one is very thin. Brother Kong, why are you asking this?"
"How does the taller one compare to me?" Kong Wenjie said as he stood up and turned around in front of Fu Jiayou.
"He's about the same height as you, but he has a lot of beard, which covers most of his face," Fu Jiayou said. He had already vaguely guessed what Kong Wenjie was thinking, and asked in a low voice, "Why? Brother Kong, are you going to dress up as that Jinyiwei?"
"That's exactly what I meant," Kong Wenjie nodded, and said with a smile, "It's a good thing to have a lot of beard on your face. Most of your face is covered, so who can see it clearly? Brother Fu, I will pretend to be the tall Jinyiwei, and you will pretend to be the thinner one. I think this is just right."
"No!" Fu Jiayou waved his hands and said, "Brother Kong, you don't know that now all the city gates are guarded by the Imperial Guards. It's not easy to get in and out. We will be carefully checked. Although we can disguise ourselves, our carriages can't withstand the search!"
Fu Jiayou was telling the truth. There must be another Jinghui in the carriage, who would naturally not be able to withstand a search.
"It's okay. The Imperial Guards don't dare to stop the Jinyiwei," Kong Wenjie smiled proudly. "The Jinyiwei used to suppress the Imperial Guards in everything. Now that Ling Shian has taken over the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei will only be more arrogant and domineering than before. On the other hand, the Imperial Guards have been sent to guard the city gates. It can be seen how pitiful and sad the Imperial Guards are now. How dare they stop us two Jinyiwei who are ordered by the emperor to leave the capital?" Kong Wenjie said while holding up the teacup and smiling at Fu Jiayou, "Guard Fu, don't you agree?"
"Yes, Guard Kong, you are right!" Fu Jiayou was startled, then he took a deep breath, picked up the teacup, leaned over and gently clinked it with Kong Wenjie's cup, then smiled and said, "Guard Kong, from the capital to Zhili, we have to take good care of each other along the way!"

July 14, 1934
Zhili Governor's Office.
As soon as Fu Jiayou got off the carriage, he hurried to the backyard with Kong Wenmin to meet Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya.
"Your humble servant greets you, sir and madam! May you and madam be well!" Fu Jiayou walked quickly to the two of them and knelt down to salute.
"Hurry up and get up. We are all family. There is no need to kowtow to each other all the time." Zhong Mingwei put down the chess piece in his hand, went over to help Fu Jiayou up, and said with a smile as he asked him to sit down, "You have worked hard on this journey."
It had been raining heavily for the past few days, as if the sky was leaking, so Fu Jiayou and his companions were delayed on the road for two or three more days before they finally returned to Zhili.
"Isn't it? Fortunately, I waited there for a few days but didn't see any trace of them. Feeling uneasy, I hurried forward to check. As a result, I saw Wen Jie and Brother Fu pushing a cart in the mud," Kong Wenmin said with a smile. While pouring a cup of tea and handing it to Fu Jiayou, he joked, "I didn't recognize Brother Fu and Wen Jie at first glance. It was not until Wen Jie called me that I realized that these two mud monkeys were actually Wen Jie and Brother Fu."
"Haha, Guard Kong is joking!" Fu Jiayou smiled and shook his head, "This is really strange. We haven't seen weather like this for many years. If it continues like this, I'm afraid there will be a flood."
When everyone heard what Fu Jiayou said, they all looked out the window, frowning. Fortunately, the rain today was much lighter than yesterday.
