Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2656 Big Pig's Hoof!

"Lord City Lord, we have found the bodies of Ah Hong and the captain of the village soldiers. Just as you expected, they encountered a powerful enemy, and Ah Hong broke the birdcage before dying and informed us."

The female guard reported to Huo Feng.

Huo Feng nodded.

When the female guard saw this, although she knew that the city lord didn't seem to want to say more, she still wanted to share his worries.

So, she continued, "Lord City Lord, my men heard something when they came back. Do you know how serious this matter is?"

Huo Feng glanced at the female guard, thinking that she must be talking about traitors, and said, "It's serious. The deputy captain of the Anti-Japanese Brigade, Gao Yanan, Cuihua (Arou's alias), and the wife of the captain Qi Dabing were all injured to varying degrees.

And I heard that at least three of them were seriously injured, and we don’t know their identities. Captain Qi did not tell us, and this is the result our people found out from various sources.

The ones who caused such serious consequences were the traitors from our Phoenix City—A Feng and others. "

Having said that, Huo Feng sighed heavily.

Because, although Captain Qi Dabing did not investigate further, according to the reactions of some villagers who had visited the Anti-Japanese Brigade today, the attitude of the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Brigade towards them was very different from before.

Even in Phoenix City, the anti-Japanese fighters in the arsenal were always on guard against them. Even the recruited soldiers were no longer allowed to go home at night and had to stay in the arsenal.

This is a crisis of trust, and it is also what Huo Feng is most worried about.

So she killed more than a dozen traitors in a row to serve as a warning to others.

However, Huo Feng is still not confident whether this can ease the current situation.

So at this moment, Huo Feng seemed very melancholy.

As Huo Feng's confidant, the female guard naturally could not just stand by and watch Huo Feng become so depressed. She had to help the Lord of Huo Feng City come up with a practical solution.

The female guard's brain was working rapidly, and suddenly she had an idea.

The female guard quickly said, "I know that the captain of the Anti-Japanese Brigade is a money-loving person. The city lord might as well do something about this."

Huo Feng's eyes suddenly lit up because she also remembered that last time Qi Dabing looked at her gold ingots in Phoenix City, he couldn't take his eyes away.

Huo Feng said repeatedly: "Okay, let's do it. We still have some assets in Phoenix City, so let's donate half of them to the Anti-Japanese Brigade!"

The female guard quickly stopped him and said, "Lord City Lord, that's too much. We still have to live our lives. That's the money the old city lord left for us to save our lives in Phoenix City."

Huo Feng shook her head and said, "We are just trying to save our lives now. If the relationship between the Anti-Japanese Brigade and us continues to deteriorate, then where will our Anti-Japanese Brigade go? We have already fallen out with the Japanese. If we lose the protection of the Anti-Japanese Brigade, how long can we, a mere few hundred people, survive in this war-torn era?"

The female guard wanted to say something, but seeing that the city lord had made up his mind, she did not open her mouth again. She just waited for the next day, when Huo Feng would take the money to donate it to the Anti-Japanese Brigade.

·············

Time passed quickly and it was the next day, but when Huo Feng arrived at the Anti-Japanese Brigade, she found that Duanwu was not there.

Of course, she could never have imagined that Duanwu was on his way to the designated location to pick up a mysterious visitor.

So at this time, only Tang Jiujiu came to receive Huo Feng. Tang Jiujiu didn't like Huo Feng. In her eyes, Huo Feng was a vixen who always wanted her big pig's hoof.

However, her eyes sparkled when she saw what Huo Feng brought. Huo Feng actually took out 250 gold bars at once.

Of course, Tang Jiujiu couldn't ask for all the money. What if Huo Feng wanted to be a concubine? Then he couldn't take 250 gold bars, let alone 2500.

So before that, she had to ask clearly.

Tang Jiujiu placed his injured hands on the armrests of the chair and said in a commanding manner, "Lord Fire Phoenix, what do you mean by this? Do you think that my Anti-Japanese Brigade is short of money?"

Huo Feng was helpless. She had originally asked the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces soldiers to report to Duan Wu. However, the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces soldiers did not know that the captain had left the station, so they could only report to the captain's wife.

So at this time, Huo Feng was helpless and could only bite the bullet and say: "It was because of my negligence that the Anti-Japanese Brigade suffered such a loss. I must compensate the Anti-Japanese Brigade and assure them that such a thing will never happen again."

"Oh, that's it!"

Tang Jiujiu felt a little relieved. As long as Huo Feng didn't want to be her concubine, she could accept it.

As for these 250 gold bars, in her eyes, they were nothing. Her family had plenty of money, but she couldn't reveal her identity now. Otherwise, she could just give Duanwu hundreds of millions to buy weapons and equipment.

So Tang Jiujiu definitely didn't think about whether to accept such a large sum of money.

But after following Duanwu for a long time, she also learned some cunning. On the surface, she said calmly: "It stands to reason that you Phoenix City made such a big revelation, which almost caused the death of all our main officers. I will definitely not forgive you so easily.

Do you know? Our deputy captain, Gao Yanan, and Cuihua almost died. If these three people really died, let alone this little gold bar, even if all the people in Phoenix City paid with their lives, it would not be enough to compensate, do you know that? "

At this point, Tang Jiujiu became so excited that she slammed the table.

But she regretted it as soon as the palm fell.

Tang Jiujiu grimaced in pain in her heart, but on the surface she endured the pain and waved her other hand, saying, "Okay, I'll keep the things for the soldier first. When the soldier comes back, I'll send someone to notify you."

At this moment, Huo Feng wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Tang Jiujiu, "Go slowly, I won't see you off!"

Huo Feng had no choice but to leave with the two elders.

At this time, Huo Feng and others had just left the wooden house. Tang Jiujiu immediately raised her hand that had slapped the table and blew it hard with her little mouth, as if she could blow away the pain.

"I'm bleeding. It's not easy to earn some gold bars. No wonder dad always says that it's getting harder and harder to make money."

Tang Jiujiu lamented that it was hard to make money these days. She had spent a lot of money but only earned 250 gold bars.

At the same time, outside the wooden house, the elders of the second clan and Huo Feng were angry and said, "Who was that girl just now? She spoke so rudely, as if we couldn't survive if we left the Anti-Japanese Brigade."

But at this moment, Huo Feng's eyes were dull, and after a long while, he said, "No wonder Qi Dabing's attitude towards our Phoenix City is so bad this time. The deputy captain is seriously injured and dying. If it were us, we would also be furious, right? That Ninth Girl (Tang Jiujiu's alias) is right. Fortunately, no one died, otherwise who could withstand the rage of the Anti-Japanese Brigade?"
