Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2835 Ito Kitano's counterattack!
Old Miyamoto emphasized the last few words. In fact, he was following the family head's instructions and deceiving two people. However, he didn't expect that Commander Ito and Commander Ino's faces would change drastically after hearing his words.

Commander Ito said quickly, "Miyamoto-kun, you can't slander me. I have always been loyal to the empire, and I have no grudges against Gongbei-kun. Why would I send someone to assassinate him? If you don't believe me, you can check it out. We will definitely cooperate with you."

Commander Ino also hurriedly expressed his position: "That's right, Miyamoto-kun, I can't possibly assassinate Gongbei-kun. Ito-kun can testify that when Gongbei-kun fought the Anti-Japanese Brigade, I fully supported him!

I think this must be a conspiracy by the Anti-Japanese Brigade to sow discord within our Imperial Army. You must not fall into their trap. "

Miyamoto narrowed his eyes, sneered, and thought to himself: "This is really a case of a thief confessing himself within three days. The disappearance of Master Gongbei is closely related to you two old guys."

But on the surface, Old Miyamoto remained calm, instead revealing an inexplicable smile and said, "Since you say so, I will believe you for now. However, the investigation cannot be slack at all. You must provide all relevant clues and information to help me find out the truth as soon as possible."

Commander Ito and Commander Ino quickly nodded in agreement: "Of course, Miyamoto-kun. We will fully cooperate with your work and provide all necessary assistance."

Miyamoto nodded slightly and continued to read the report in his hand. As the investigation deepened, he found that more and more doubts pointed to the inside of the Imperial Army. He guessed that it must have been done by someone inside the Imperial Army, otherwise there would be no need to kill everyone present.

This is consistent with the fact that someone inside the Imperial Army assassinated Young Master Gong Bei and then killed him to silence him. This is also the key reason why the Imperial Army could not find Young Master Gong Bei after he disappeared.

He guessed that Master Gong Bei was not dead yet, and he already knew that someone within the Imperial Army wanted to kill him.

So he hid himself and didn't trust any imperial army.

Thinking of this, Gong Bei felt a lot more relieved.

Of course, he would not really let go of his worry, because Young Master Gong Bei would be in greater danger without the protection of the imperial army, and he must find Young Master Gong Bei as soon as possible.

He needed to be there, and he needed a force that was absolutely loyal to the Kujo family.

But who can be trusted now?
Old Gong Bei fell into deep thought.

However, at this moment, one of his men came to report: "Report to Lord Miyamoto, the head of the family called and said that Onizuka Youming will arrive in China as early as tomorrow morning. He can be trusted."

Miyamoto nodded, then looked around the room. Ito and Ino had already gone to rest, and he was the only one in the room.

So he lowered his voice and said, "Go call the head of the family back. Young Master Gong Bei is very likely not dead. Remember, this is confidential. You must send the message yourself. Do you understand?"

"Hi!"

Miyamoto's men took the order and went to generate electricity immediately.

Meanwhile, Commander Ito and Commander Ino did not sleep at all. After they left, they went to another office to discuss countermeasures. Both of them were now suspected by Miyamoto. If that old Miyamoto made a wild guess, neither of them would have a good life.

Commander Ito and Commander Ino sat opposite each other.

Commander Ito was the first to break the silence. His brows were furrowed, and his tone was full of anxiety: "Ino-kun, it is obvious that old Miyamoto is suspicious of us now. This is not a good sign. Once he really finds out the truth, we will be finished."

Commander Ino nodded slightly, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes: "That's right, Ito-kun. We have to think of a solution quickly and we can't just sit there and wait for death. That old Miyamoto is a mad dog. In order to show his loyalty to Kujo Masao, he won't care about the results of the investigation. In addition, Kujo Masao didn't trust us in the first place, so he will definitely not let us go easily."

Commander Ito tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the sofa, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I think we have to take the initiative. Since old Miyamoto suspects us, let's create some trouble for him so that he can't take care of himself. For example, we can secretly spread some rumors that are unfavorable to the Kujo family, so that old Miyamoto will divert his attention to other places."

After hearing this, Commander Ino's eyes lit up, but then he frowned again: "That's a solution, but how do we do it specifically? Besides, if old Miyamoto finds out that it was us who did it, the consequences will be disastrous."

Commander Ito sneered, "Of course we can't show up in person. We can find some trustworthy people and have them spread the news quietly within the Imperial Army. They can say that the Kujo family deliberately distorted the truth about Kujo Miyakita's disappearance in order to monopolize power, and wanted to use it to suppress other families. In this way, even if old Miyamoto knows that someone is behind it, he won't be able to find out about us for a while."

Commander Ino thought about it and felt that this method was feasible, but he was still a little worried: "But, old Miyamoto is not so easy to fool. What if he sees through our plan, then wouldn't we be shooting ourselves in the foot?"

Commander Ito patted Commander Ino's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, Ino-kun. We will prepare a backup plan. If old Miyamoto really finds out about us, we will put all the blame on the Anti-Japanese Brigade. We will say that the news was spread by someone from the Anti-Japanese Brigade who was lurking among us. So before that, we just need to find a few scapegoats."

Commander Ino nodded slightly: "Ito-kun, you are still thoughtful. Let's do it. However, we have to find that Kujo Miyakita as soon as possible. Whether it is a corpse or a person, it can make old Miyakita speechless."

Commander Ito shook his head and sighed, “It’s easy for you to say that, Ino-kun. But if we could find someone, we would have found him long ago.

The search area has been expanded to ten kilometers, and we haven't seen a single person.

Of course, we can’t give up and we need to intensify our search efforts.”

At this point, Ito looked at Commander Ino again and said, "Ino-kun, shouldn't you also send some people over to help find Kujo Miyakita?"

Ino smiled slightly and said, "Ito-kun, my people are all in Fengtian. Transfer them here. I'm afraid your people have already found Kujo Miyakita."

Ito thought about it and felt that Fengtian was too far away from Chuncheng. It would probably take three days to transfer people here.

After all, the troops need to assemble and then go to Chuncheng to accept his orders, so there will not be enough time.

So Ito could only give up and said, "That's it. I'll see if I can spare some manpower to increase the search efforts and try to find Kujo Miyakita as soon as possible!"
