Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2575 Night Banquet!

In the evening, an antique courtyard was brightly lit.

The red carpet extends from the courtyard gate to the banquet hall, with lifelike sculptures of fire phoenixes on both sides, their wings spread as if ready to fly, with candles in their mouths, shining brightly.

Inside the banquet hall, candle flames were also dancing on the tall candlesticks, illuminating everything brightly.

In the center stands an exquisitely carved eight-immortal table, which is filled with all kinds of delicacies.

There are pheasants in the forest, river fish in the pond, domestic ducks, and vegetables grown in the fields. These are all home-cooked dishes that can be found at any time.

But even so, these were considered top-notch ingredients during the war years, and ordinary people probably couldn't even afford a meal of them during the New Year.

So both General Takeda and Kujo Miyakita were very happy.

What's more, although Takeda was a shogun and Kujo Miyakita was a noble, they probably couldn't eat these on a daily basis.

The waiters all thought that big shots like them all liked Japanese food, so even if Chinese people invited them to dinner, they would go to Japanese restaurants.

But in fact, they are more eager to eat Chinese food, especially the food full of fireworks.

As soon as the two Japanese soldiers entered the banquet hall, they smelled the aroma of the food and their appetites grew.

At this time, Huo Feng smiled and said, "Time is short, so I can only prepare these. I hope Mr. Takeda and Mr. Kujo don't mind."

Jiujo Gongbei said quickly: "No, no, this is already very rich."

At this point, Kujo Miyakita looked at Takeda and said, "Uncle Takeda, have you not eaten Chinese food for a long time?"

General Takeda nodded and said stubbornly, "Although I am not very interested in Chinese cuisine, it is still okay to eat some occasionally."

"Hahaha!"

Kujo Miyakita laughed out loud. He was laughing at Takeda's inconsistency. Compared to Takeda, he felt that he was more free and easy.

Jiujiao Gongbei said to Huo Feng again: "Miss Huo Feng, I have been to many countries in the world. Although their food has its own characteristics, to be honest, I think none of them is as diverse as Chinese cuisine.

So I have a wish, sooner or later I will travel all over China and try all the delicious Chinese food.”

At this point, Kujo Miyakita said to Takeda: "Uncle Takeda, remember to leave the cooks behind wherever you attack next time. Send them all to me then."

Takeda nodded and smiled: "Haha, okay!"

The two of them sang the same tune, and although they were praising Chinese food, in reality, they regarded China as their own property.

They were soldiers, and it was impossible for them to travel all over China. So what they meant by traveling all over was to occupy the whole of China.

How could the devil's little trick escape Huo Feng's eyes?

Huo Feng is definitely not as simple as she looks. She is stunningly beautiful, but she is not a vase placed in the living room, otherwise how could she sit in the position she has today? She is also decisive in killing, and if she finds out that her relatives have betrayed her, she will kill them all without blinking an eye.

So when the two Japs sang the same tune, she knew what they meant. It was a threat, and a naked threat.

But she pretended not to understand and continued with a smile: "Please take a seat, otherwise the food will get cold."

“Okay, okay!” Takeda responded repeatedly, but after sitting down, he did not pick up his chopsticks immediately.

It was obvious that they were afraid that Huo Feng would poison them.

Although they had taken all the people in the village as hostages, they still did not trust Huo Feng.

Huo Feng smiled, motioning two female guards to pour wine for herself, Takeda, and Kujo Miyakita, and said, "Mr. Takeda, Mr. Kujo, you are really careful. The imperial soldiers who came to my place before all ate the food cooked by my people. But you two let the imperial soldiers cook for themselves. And I am not at ease when they come to my place!"

Just as Kujo Miyakita was about to say something, Takeda quickly took over the conversation and said, "Ms. Huofeng has misunderstood. We do trust Phoenix City. It's just that some problems have arisen recently, so we have to be more cautious."

At this point, Takeda glanced into Huo Feng's eyes and said, "Miss Huo Feng, I was busy deploying defenses before, so I didn't ask in detail. Don't you need to explain why the imperial army was attacked after it came to your place to deliver grain?"

Huo Feng had expected this, and smiled faintly, "Mr. Takeda, I think the Imperial Army has already recorded this, right? The first time it was led by Aoki Taijun, and this Aoki Taijun has come to my Phoenix City to transport food more than once, right?

I was also surprised that he was suddenly attacked.

Then it was Kurosaki-kun who brought people to transport food. I told him about Aoki-kun. I said things were not peaceful recently, so I asked people to load the food onto the truck early.

It was Kurosaki Taijun who didn't listen to me and insisted that he, Kurosaki, stay in Phoenix City for one night. He wanted to see what those rebels looked like!

In the end, Kurosaki Tai-kun was also ambushed. Can I be blamed for this?"

Kujo Miyakita lowered his voice and said in Takeda's ear: "Uncle Takeda, it is true."

But Huo Feng could hear his low voice. It was obvious that Jiujiao Gongbei wanted to pretend to be a good person in front of Huo Feng.

Takeda naturally knew this, and he also knew that Kujo Miyakita was just pretending. He didn't trust the Chinese at all. He just wanted to get the Fire Phoenix in this way.

Moreover, if Takeda could get hold of something that was holding Fire Phoenix accountable, it would be even easier for Kujo Miyakita to succeed.

So Takeda deliberately stopped him and said, "Kujo-kun, remember that you are also a soldier. This is a government matter. Don't let your emotions get in the way."

Jiujo Miyakita said helplessly: "Ms. Huofeng, this matter is indeed very serious. If you can't give a reasonable explanation, I think Uncle Takeda will also be in a difficult situation."

Huo Feng asked with a smile: "What's the explanation?"

Takeda said: "Since the rebels have the ability to ambush an infantry battalion, why is Phoenix City still safe and sound? If I were a rebel, instead of ambushing the imperial army, I would rather seize the granary of Phoenix City and get more food."

Huo Feng sneered and said, "The Imperial Army will naturally do so, but the rebels may not."

Takeda said angrily, "Why? Is the Fire Phoenix City Lord dissatisfied with the Imperial Army?"

Jiujo Miyakita quickly tried to smooth things over, "Don't be angry, Uncle Takeda. I think Miss Huofeng must have an explanation."

As he spoke, Jiujo Gongbei continued to wink at Huofeng.

Huo Feng nodded with a smile, and then continued: "Although I am a woman and don't know any military tactics, what if those rebels use Phoenix City as bait?
In this way, there will be a steady stream of imperial troops to be ambushed by them.

Of course, they also considered attacking Phoenix. The enemy was at the gates of the city, with at least several hundred people.

I stood on the city wall and said to them: You all want to attack Phoenix City, I am powerless to stop you. But please kill all the people in the city after you enter, otherwise you will take away the food and we will also die.

So, they retreated just like that!"
