Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

Since he had to save his brother-in-law, Xu Damao had to leave immediately, so Lou Xiaoe went back to the Lou family as usual. Xu Damao went back to the courtyard, packed up a little, locked it, and went to the factory to ask for leave from Section Chief Huang and Li Huaide, and casually wrote a few letters of introduction - it is no exaggeration to say that Xu Damao could have written them himself and gone directly to Li Huaide to stamp them himself.

The reason is that I need to go collecting folk songs and get creative inspiration, which will take three to five days.

He didn't mention that the song had won first place in the previous Metallurgical Ministry Art Festival, and that someone had already added lyrics to the song and that it had been singled out for praise by the higher-ups. It was likely to be performed at the National Day Art Festival in October this year, and that the song he had previously given to You Fengxia had also been selected by the higher-ups.

It can be said that Xu Damao's reputation as a great artist has been confirmed. Not only that, he is also the specially appointed chief designer of Crescent Kingdom, which has been certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

So it didn't matter whether he went to work or not, and no one would stop him. He could just focus on his creation and taking care of things in the Crescent Kingdom, which would be a great help to Guo Jia.

As for the work of showing movies, Liu Guangtian can already do it independently and it will not delay his work. Besides, Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian have already completed the volume for this quarter.

Because of the relationship with the Lou family, Xu Damao could not get promoted any further, so the factory turned a blind eye to many aspects.

It would take some time to go back and forth, and it wasn't night. Moreover, Xu Damao was afraid that he was going too fast and would be spotted by the military radar, which would cause chaos on all sides.

After thinking about it, he went to Hongmen ZhiGtang to find Mr. Chen. Hongmen definitely had people in Hongjiang. First, he needed to find out whether his brother-in-law was safe in the hands of that force. Money and other things would be easy to talk about. He first asked them to pass on the message to save his brother-in-law. Xu Damao could handle the rest himself.

As for asking for leave from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to go to Hong Kong...

There are too many issues involved, so let's just forget about it.

But what Xu Damao didn't know was that his every move was actually seen by Chang Hongjun who had already returned.

After Xu Damao left, Li Mingmei's subordinates suddenly thought of something.

"Mr. Li (the name has not been changed yet. It is not appropriate to call Li Mingmei anything now. For the time being, we should still call her Mr. Li and Immortal Xu), it seems that we cannot leave China at will?"

"? What should I do? He has already left and I can't contact him now."

"Why don't we go and report to the officials of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and tell them that there's a problem in Hong Kong and that Chief Designer Xu is needed to mediate. Because the matter is urgent, he has already left. Can we help report it?"

"Alright, let's go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs—"

Although he was not qualified in terms of procedures, Xu Damao was only the deputy director of the Propaganda Department. His main job was to show movies, his secondary job was to write songs, and he was also the chief designer of the Legend Sound Factory of Xinyue Country. Basically, he would not be exposed to the production secrets of the steel rolling mill. Moreover, his wife, father-in-law, his parents and sister were all in China, and his wife was pregnant with quadruplets, two boys and two girls. It made no sense for such a person to defect and flee the country.

Want money? His father-in-law, Lou Bancheng, had no worries about food and drink, and his wife was pregnant with quadruplets. There was no possibility for him to escape or be subverted.

Seeing Li Mingmei's urgency, officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also thought that something serious must have happened in the factory in Hong Kong, so Li Mingmei asked Xu Damao to go first. For the sake of Crescent Kingdom, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs gave Xu Damao a temporary record and said that it would not happen again.

You left the country without even saying hello. If it weren't for the sake of Crescent Grain Plantation, it would not be unjust to shoot you, Xu Damao!

This is the loophole. With the temporary filing and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs making a phone call to the Guangzhou Customs, Xu Damao can enter Hong Kong through normal channels.

But now I can’t contact Xu Damao at all. There were no mobile phones in those days!

While Li Mingmei was racking her brains over how to contact Xu Damao, he had already ridden his bike onto the Third Ring Road - no, the national highway.

Now if you have to queue up at the train station to take the green train, you have to transfer to Guangzhou and then go to Hong Kong. How many days will that take?

What if the robbers don’t have patience and kill the hostages directly?

Xu Damao rode his bike directly to Tianjin, keeping the speed at about 80 miles per hour, and drove directly along the national highway. When he needed to overtake, his speed could reach 100. Riding the bike so fast was like pedaling a spark. When the farmers in the suburbs saw him like this, they all exclaimed - is this the spirit of the Three Altars Sea Assembly?

And as for bicycles, there are tires?

I found a supply warehouse in Russia, especially they had anti-skid thickened tires. In France, Xu Damao also looted a lot of mountain bike wheels. To ride to Tianjin, it would only take one frame and six wheels, which is not a problem at all!

The distance from the steel mill to the Tianjin Port is only about 170 kilometers, and Xu Damao rode there in about two hours. If he rode faster, the bike would fall apart and he would be easily targeted.

Nowadays, if you ride a bicycle to catch up with a truck and are not afraid of death, it is possible to catch up in a short time.

If it was at night, Xu Damao would have driven at full speed, and it would have taken only about eight minutes at the speed of sound. But if you drove at the speed of sound in Sijiucheng and Tianjin...

Something big is going to happen.

It took us a while to get to the port of Tianjin. After all, we couldn’t drive too fast in the city or we would bump into people.

It was only noon at this time. If Xu Damao was still waiting for the train in Sijiu City, he probably hadn't boarded the train yet.

At this time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had just finished a phone call with Yangcheng Customs.

When they arrived at a sparsely populated area by the sea, Xu Damao put the car into the space and jumped directly into the sea. He didn't take a deep breath until he was quite a distance away from the shore, then he dived.

The quantum satellite began to navigate, and Xu Damao transformed into a high-speed submarine and swam towards the Hong Kong River at full speed.

But as soon as Xu Damao increased his speed, the undercurrent on the seabed was stirred up, and the corals, plankton, fish and mud on the seabed were all mixed into a ball... The noise was too loud!

Xu Damao thought about it and thought that if he did this, he would be targeted by Guo Jia’s navy. Although it would not have any impact on him, it would not be good to add unnecessary workload to others like last time.

So, Xu Damao slowed down and swam out of the Bohai Sea first.

It took two or three hours to successfully cross the Bohai Sea and pass Dalian, and we arrived at the border between South Korea and North Korea.

Xu Damao began to increase the speed evenly. There should be no problem if he speeds up a little at this time, right?

By the way, last year the great man said that the width of our territorial waters will be increased from 3 nautical miles to 12 nautical miles, so I should stay away from China.

So, Xu Damao bypassed Jeju Island and came to a place between Fukuoka and Jeju, where he lived his daily life. It was almost four or five in the afternoon.

Now that I'm here, is it okay for me to drive at full speed again?

Xu Damao surfaced again and took a long breath -

But he suddenly saw something on the sea - a pole?

Rod? Pipe?

Then Xu Damao just looked at the pole, or the tube, and the tube just looked at him...

There were several hundred meters between the two, but there was something sticking out vertically from the sea, which was too obvious.

Xu Damao and Guan Zi looked at each other.

[What the hell?! This isn't a submarine, is it?]
