Chapter 28: Sworn Brothers (Second Update)

  Zhao Wenxing looked at the young man in front of him with a puzzled expression, wondering why he didn't let the airport be destroyed. "Do you know how many Chinese people will suffer because of your idea?" Zhao Wenxing asked Xuan Yi with some annoyance.

  Shan Yixuan curled his lip and said lightly, "What kind of disaster can my humble idea bring to the Chinese people? Even if the devils really build an airport, it's not necessarily a bad thing!"

  "Nonsense! Once the enemy's airport is established in Yangcheng, it will form an aerial encirclement of our Jiangsu war zone and Hubei-Henan-Anhui war zone. Planes taking off from Yangcheng can reinforce all war zones in Hubei-Henan-Anhui within half an hour, posing a effective threat to us! Young man, do you think this is a joke? This concerns the lives of tens of millions of people!" Zhao Wensing glared at Shan Yixuan, who was spouting nonsense, and found such thinking despicable.

  Shan Yixuan was taken aback, wondering if he was too stupid or too clever, and why the man in front of him just didn't understand! "I'm not joking, I guarantee that Yangcheng's plane will not pose a threat to the E Yu Wan war zone as you said! You must have heard of the Battle of Yixiantian, where we annihilated an entire squadron! A small airfield, and I still don't take it seriously!" Shan Yixuan thought for a moment, and still brought up the matter of Yixiantian, with the intention of not letting the Eighth Route Army comrade in front of him doubt his strength.

  "What did you say?" Zhao Wenzhong and Gao Fei were almost simultaneously stunned, both of their eyes wide with shock. Although Zhao Wenzhong had suspected it before and almost confirmed it, when the words came out of this young man's mouth in front of them, they were still greatly shocked.

  Shan Yixuan sneered and said, "I'm telling you, the battle a month ago on the front line of the sky, and all the things that happened in Yangcheng against the Japanese army, were all done by us! Do you think we look like people who help the devils?" Shan Yixuan paused for a moment, then continued to say: "Actually, destroying the airport, even liberating Yangcheng, seems like an extremely simple matter to me. Perhaps a month ago I couldn't have said such a thing, but now, I think it's just a matter of two hours!"

  A month ago, the special forces team was just established, with over a hundred brothers joining, more than seventy of whom were selected. Although only thirty or so people remained in the end, Shan Yixuan was very satisfied that he could pick out thirty people from a hundred, which was already a miracle. Looking back at the 21st century, how many special forces elites can be picked out from hundreds of millions of people?

  Liu Yi Ming stood by, nodding slightly. Ever since he saw the training methods of this team formed by Shan Yixuan, he had a vague feeling that this would be a sharp blade for Qing Long Zhai, a blade that could take down the enemy's head. Although some who were eliminated or couldn't hold on were sent to Liu Yi Ming by Shan Yixuan, he didn't complain and instead admired Shan Yixuan more and more in his heart. This was because Shan Yixuan had been at Qing Long Zhai for just over a month, yet he helped Qing Long Zhai win the biggest battle in history, turning all the brothers into strong warriors.

  "Aren't you afraid of getting slapped in the face for talking big?" Gao Fei let out a cold hum, from the moment Bei Xuan pointed his gun at his neck, he had an urge to kill him! This time again, boasting in front of the captain, really can't be tolerated. Two hours to liberate Yangcheng, do you think the devils are made of mud?

  Shan Yixuan smiled and ignored Gao Fei's words, looking at Zhao Wenzhong and saying lightly: "How about it, Commander Zhao doesn't believe me either?" The latter smiled slightly and avoided Shan Yixuan's topic, saying: "I want to know, which of the two of you was the commander of the One Line Sky battle!" As he spoke, he looked at Liu Yiming and Shan Yixuan, thinking that if the One Line Sky battle was done by Qinglong Village, then the commander should be a skilled fighter who can win battles. If so, then there must be someone's idea behind the Yangcheng Airport, but why not let them move the Yangcheng Airport?

  Liu Yiming looked at Shan Yixuan and burst out laughing, saying: "The one who was talking to you just now is the commander-in-chief back then!"

  Zhao Wenzhen looked at Gao Fei, and both of them sized up Shan Yixuan with disbelieving eyes. This young man who seemed to have just come out of his shell was actually the commander-in-chief of that battle? "How many casualties did you suffer in that battle?" Zhao Wenzhen asked Shan Yixuan, although he knew it might be an unpleasant question, but curiosity got the better of him.

  "On the main battlefield, we had zero losses. That was when my big brother led our brothers to annihilate that regiment of over two thousand people. On the reverse side of the battlefield, we lost two brothers during a raid on the enemy's arsenal, where they were unfortunately hit by the enemy's machine guns!" Dān Yìxuān sighed, feeling guilty for the deaths of the two brothers.

  Shan Yixuan's words made Gao Fei and Zhao Wenxing break out in a cold sweat. Zhao Wenxing still asked calmly, "How many of you are there?" Shan Yixuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Over 100 people!"

  Zhao Wénxīng and Gāo Fēi took a deep breath, over 100 people, more than 2,000 enemies, what concept is this? A ratio of 1 to 20, and they were well-equipped devils. Could they still annihilate the enemy without any casualties? The two men's views on Shān Yīxuān changed greatly, requiring courage, experience, and combat skills. If things didn't go smoothly, there was a possibility of total annihilation!

  Zhaowen Xing's attitude was no longer as resolute as before, and he softened his tone of anger, asking in a low voice: "If you don't destroy the airport, can't you avoid harming the people in the Hubei, Henan and Anhui war zones? What do you want to do?"

  Shan Yixuan smiled and said, "I have a way, and it may be beneficial to the Hubei-Henan-Anhui war zone in the future. It may reduce casualties on our side!"

  Zhao Wenzhen was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that this kid wouldn't be thinking of... He immediately said: "You little brat aren't thinking of..."

  "Hush, hush, don't say it, I just want to know, can you guys not mess with the airport?" Xuan didn't expect this old man to catch on so quickly and hurriedly stopped him from continuing, as his own plan was still immature and couldn't be revealed too early.

  Zhao Wenxing burst out laughing and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a big appetite! However, I'm not the one who makes the decisions on this matter, it has to be reported to headquarters, so you'll have to wait!"

  "It's okay, it's okay, we'll wait, wait!" It's not easy to have this breather, as long as the Eighth Route Army doesn't get any ideas about attacking the airport, everything will be fine!

  "Hey kid, come join me! Let's become Eighth Route Army!" Zhao Wenzhen said sincerely to Shan Yixuan.

  Shan Yixuan furrowed his brow, this wasn't something that could be settled with just a few words! He scratched his head awkwardly and said: "Let's cooperate once first, as long as you don't move the airport, let me think about the rest!" The Eighth Route Army wanted to take action, but not now. He wanted to give the Eighth Route Army a surprise, and also give the motherland a big gift.

  Zhao Wensing thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll go back and consult with the others. Let's wish each other success in our cooperation! Sincerely inviting all the heroes of Qinglongzhai to join our anti-Japanese army!" Zhao Wensing walked over to Liu Yiming and continued, "Every hero from Qinglongzhai is a good man. I hope the head of the household will consider this: although life in the Eighth Route Army is hard, it's the only army that truly cares about the people. Whoever wins the hearts of the people will win the world. I hope the head of the household will think carefully about this. The door to the Eighth Route Army will always be open to all the heroes from Qinglongzhai!"

  Liu Yiming was taken aback for a moment, then said: "Okay, let's consider it!" As for Zheng Wenzhen's invitation, Liu Yiming was very torn in his heart. Brothers can't be bandits all their lives, no one wants to marry a daughter-in-law and have children in the future, when the child asks what his father does, they will all laugh and say your dad is a bandit!

  Shan Yixuan looked at Liu Yiming, then at the two people. This seemingly disastrous situation was unexpectedly resolved, and he felt very relieved in his heart. At least he didn't have to worry about having any conflicts with the Eighth Route Army anymore. The two of them saw Zheng Wenzhen and the others off down the mountain. Liu Yiming looked at Shan Yixuan and asked: "Brother, what do you think?"

  Shan Yixuan knew that Liu Yiming was asking about the incorporation, thought for a moment and said: "The key is Big Brother, and how brothers think of it, I don't care, as long as we can fight against the devils, it's all the same to me!" Shan Yixuan's words moved Liu Yiming, "Brother, Big Brother thinks that you following me is a waste of your talent!"

  "Haha!" Xuan laughed and asked: "What's wrong, big brother looking down on me?"

  "What are you talking about, you'll always be my brother! How could I possibly dislike you? Let's just make a pact as brothers!" Liu Yiming looked at Shan Yixuan, and in his heart, he really wanted to be true brothers with him. It's not easy to have a true brother for life!

  Shan Yixuan nodded, somewhat excitedly saying: "Good!" He thought he had stolen Liu Yiming's thunder and that the other would be very uncomfortable, but it seemed he was overthinking. Shan Yixuan thought to himself as the two knelt before Guan Gong, making a vow and drinking each other's blood, from then on they were sworn brothers.

  "Brother, I've got something to tell you!" Liu Yiming looked at Shan Yixuan with a serious expression. Shan Yixuan nodded and said, "Go ahead, big brother!"

  "I want to give you the position of the head of the family!" Liu Yiming said without any joking intention, his eyes staring straight at Shan Yixuan.

  "What?" Shan Yixuan was stunned, and after a moment, he said: "Big brother, what kind of joke are you playing? Qinglong Village is your many years' hard work, I won't do it! Being the second master is already enough for me!" Shan Yixuan didn't understand why Liu Yiming would have such an idea, but this kind of thing, he absolutely wouldn't do!

  "I'm not joking!" Liu Yi Ming paused for a moment, then continued: "I'm serious, I don't want the brothers of Qing Long Zhai to be ruined by my hands!"

  "Big brother, what are you talking about? The Green Dragon Village will develop better and better under your leadership. This position, I absolutely won't take!"

  "Am I your elder brother?" Liu Yiming said seriously to Shan Yixuan.

  Shan Yixuan nodded and continued: "Right, because you are my elder brother, I shouldn't be sitting in this position!"
