Chapter Thirty Borrowing a Scheme to Act Out a Play

  Zhang Qishen, in order to act well, specially found a few vagrants from outside to play the role of bandits in the play. Although these vagrants were seriously lacking in acting skills, under Zhang Qishen's "temptation", they unleashed their infinite potential and within three days, they could also put on a show.

  Zhang Qi was very satisfied, and he thought to himself, "Wouldn't it be better to take advantage of this plan and get rid of Ye Tufei directly?" As he thought about it with relish, he couldn't help but hum a tune from the play "Borrowing Arrows with a Straw Boat" by Zhuge Liang: "Everything is ready, only waiting for the east wind to arrive."

  Dongfeng has yet to arrive, but Liu 'Yu' Jie arrived first.

  Liu 'Yu' Jie went back to find Zhang Qi Shen for no reason, what's the point? They're all human beings!

  Liu 'Yu' Jie heard that Zhang Qi applied to Shan Xia Jing Wu to come forward and ask Ye Tu Fei to transport goods for him over Er Lang Mountain, and immediately guessed the meaning of Zhang Qi's application.

  In their attitude towards Ye Tufei, Liu 'Yu' Jie and Zhang Qi Shen have the same 'desire'. Zhang Qi Shen is for revenge and to vent his anger, while Liu 'Yu' Jie is to seize actual control of the troops.

  Get rid of the flying leaves!

  After a whole afternoon of small talk, speculation, probing, persuasion and promises, Liu 'Yu' Jie finally reached an agreement with Zhang Qi Shen: Zhang Qi Shen would take the opportunity to get rid of Ye Tu Fei, and Liu 'Yu' Jie not only paid a fee to Zhang Qi Shen but also promised that Zhang Qi Shen would form an alliance with him to deal with the Japanese.

  At the moment they reached an agreement, they looked at each other and smiled. At that moment, in their hearts, Yè Tú Fēi had already become a corpse.

  There are too many clever people in this world, but clever people can also be categorized. The largest category of clever people is called "playing small cleverness". This type of person who loves to play small cleverness indeed has a higher IQ than ordinary people, but their EQ is generally very low. Because in the consciousness of such people, others are all fools. Liu 'Yu' Jie and Zhang Qi Shen both belong to this category of people. They think their plan is flawless, they think Ye Tu Fei is doomed to die this time.

  They just couldn't realize that Ye Tufei had already guessed Zhang Qishen's idea, and even estimated Liu Yuje's desire. When Liu Yuje was having a secret conversation with Zhang Qishen, Ye Tufei ordered Guo Zhonglin to quietly slip out of the camp and leave the city.

  Ye Tufei 'entrusted' Guo Zhonglin and said: "You go to Erlang Mountain, give this letter to Zhao Dabaitou of 'Over the River Dragon', just say that in two days I will personally send a batch of materials to them, let them be prepared and pay attention."

  After Guo Zhonglin left, Ye Tufei went to find Gao Qiaoxin again. He said: "I already have a plan, but I need your help with something small. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will assist Chamber of Commerce President Zhang Qi in sending a batch of goods over Erlang Mountain. Arrange for Wei Xiangdong to follow me and take action together."

  After making an appointment with He Gaoqiao, Ye Tu flew to Zhang Qi's home.

  "When are we leaving? Director Zhang!"

  Zhang Qi looked a bit flustered, blocking Ye Tufei at the entrance, unsure of what to say or do.

  "Ah, ah, ah, Director Zhang, you're asking for my help? At least let me come in and have a glass of water!" Under Ye Tuofei's request, Zhang Qishen finally came back to his senses and hastily invited Ye Tuofei into the living room.

  "Captain Ye has arrived at our humble abode, Zhang is deeply honored. Please, please take a seat." Zhang Qi hastily ordered the servants to prepare tea.

  "Ah~oh, don't sit down, you can stop bustling around too. I came over just to ask one thing, when are we setting off? The imperial army's supplies can't be delayed, it's better for us to set off early and complete the imperial 'entrustment' task as soon as possible, what do you say, Director Zhang?"

  "That's it, the goods have all been loaded onto the truck and are waiting for your word, Captain Ye. If it's convenient for you, we can set off early tomorrow morning, how about that?"

  It's really a coincidence. Zhang Qi thought that the night was long and there were many dreams, so he hurriedly took action and dared to take responsibility for this plague god Ye Tufei. Ye Tufei thought that he should hurry up and get things done quickly, including handing over the task of "handing over" Gaoqiao Xin's affairs, and at the same time, also solving the difficult problem of getting into bed with Zhuxia Xiangzi.

  The next day at noon, a transport team of ten large mule carts arrived at the foot of Erlang Mountain.

  Zhang Qi hurriedly ran to Ye Tufei's side to ask for instructions, while Ye Tufei sat down in the first large mule cart with a swagger. Wei Xiangdong played the role of a groom. Ye Tufei waved his whip and shouted: "Let's go! I'll see who dares to block the Zhongyi Hall, who dares to stop me, Ye Tufei!"

  The words had barely fallen when a burst of 'wild' gunfire rang out from directly ahead.

  With the sound of gunfire, Wei Dong fell to the ground, a large patch of scarlet blood flowing from his chest.

  "What the...! Who dares to provoke me Ye Tu Fei?" Ye Tu Fei jumped down from the mule cart, reached for his gun, but found nothing at his waist.

  At this time, seven or eight 'masked' men with guns rushed over.

  "This play is also too realistic!" Zhang Qi Shen hugged his head and squatted aside, secretly applauding the wandering actors he had invited.

  Facing a strong enemy, Ye Tufei remained calm and composed. He slowly and calmly revealed his identity: "You few brothers, didn't you hear my shout clearly? Do you know who I am? I am Ye Tufei, the great leader of Zhongyitang! You are Ye Liu's grandfather!"

  Those strong men didn't buy into Ye Tufei's nonsense, and responded with a flurry of punches and kicks. One of them even landed a vicious kick on Ye Tufei's groin. Ye Tufei let out a pained cry, clutching his crotch as he rolled around on the ground.

  Zhang Qi looked and his heart was like drinking honey. He said in a voice that only he could hear: "You're finished, Ye Tufei, today is your day of death, humph!"

  Takeda Yukiko originally wanted to wait and see, but when the situation seemed unfavorable, she was about to take action when a long gun was pressed against her head from behind.

  Zhong Ge's Wei Dong is completely still, the large pool of blood flowing out beside him has also turned a dark red color. Ye Tu Fei's punishment hasn't ended yet, and those people have actually developed a strong interest in Ye Tu Fei's crotch, continuously subjecting that area to violent stimulation.

  Zhang Qishen was getting anxious, silently cursing these non-professional actors in his heart: "Don't they know the principle of 'the night is long and the dream is many'? Can't they just finish him off with one shot?" Although he cursed, Zhang Qishen could only curse in his heart. As a professional actor, he absolutely couldn't afford to ruin this good show.

  Needless to say, Zhang Qi's curse really worked and indeed fulfilled the dream of a long night.

  Just as Takeko Hashimoto was about to make a desperate last stand, Yamaguchi's forces charged out with over ten fine horses, of course, with men armed with guns on their backs.

  Those seven or eight "Mong" strong men saw that things were going badly and immediately stopped work, and the mouse escaped.

  The cavalry arrived immediately, and the leader was Zhao Dabaitou, the "Dragon Crossing the River". He saw Ye Tufei and dismounted immediately, kowtowing and saying that he had come late and asked Master Liu to punish him.

  Ye Tufei was in unbearable pain and couldn't speak, Zhao Da hastily took out a pain-relieving pill from his bosom and fed it to Ye Tufei. At this time, another gunshot came from the mountain pass.

  "Sixth Master, we must leave at once. Erlang Mountain is no longer peaceful. A few ignorant big shots have actually gone behind your back, Sixth Master, and raised the flag of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army."

  That's gotta be quick! Ye Tufei, Zhang Qishen, and Zhuxia Xiangzi all agreed in the first time. As for Wei Xiangdong's body, Zhao Dabao said: "Let my brother bury him!"

  After settling down in the camp of 'Over-the-River Dragon', Zhao Da invited a doctor to treat Ye Tufei. After treating him for an entire night, the doctor walked out of Ye Tufei's room with a tired and disheartened look on his face.

  "How is he? How is Old Six?" Zhao Da hastily asked.

  "Fortunately, Liu Ye's foundation is good! Life has no worries, it's just..."

  "What's wrong? Speak quickly! Don't be hesitant!"

  "This is probably the end of the lineage for this old man!"

  "What's wrong? What do you mean by that?" Zhao Da's head was anxious, and his forehead bulged with blue veins.

  Takeshita Yuko's Chinese level was also quite high, and she was equally concerned about Ye Tu Fei, so she couldn't help but lean her body over.

  "Sixth Master's **was ruined, from now on whenever he encounters 'female' 'lust', or even has a slight 'desire' in his heart, that **will be unbearably painful. Alas, I am also powerless to help, please forgive me, Great Leader."

  "Good heavens!" Zhao Da threw his head back and let out a long sigh, thinking to himself, "Sixth Master, Sixth Master, how on earth did you come up with such an idea?"

  "My goodness!" Takashita Sachiko sighed, looking up at the sky. She thought to herself, "Shimada, Shimada, how are you going to let me live my life from now on?"

  "My goodness!" The room let out a collective sigh of amazement. He thought to himself, "How can you guys act so well?"

  The next morning, Ye Tu Fei, dragging his 'disabled' body, presided over a meeting. At the meeting, he made a request to Zhao Da Ba Tou: within one day, capture and bring back that group of 'masked' thugs.

  Zhao Daibei replied, "There's no need for Sixth Master to instruct me on this matter, I've already made arrangements. You know, Sixth Master, that I have a brother who is an expert at tracking, as long as those 'good-for-nothings' can't fly, I'll definitely be able to catch them."

  Ye Tu Fei was relieved and said: "I believe in your ability. This time we are doing things for the imperial army, we can't delay, I should be fine after resting for a day, tomorrow morning we have to set off. If by then you can't complete the task I entrusted to you, humph! Don't blame me Ye Tu Fei for turning against you."

  Zhao Dabai's confident and determined attitude shocked Zhang Qi Shen, who spent the whole day in anxiety and unease until dinner time. He personally saw that those few 'Mong' faced strong men were really caught by Zhao Dabai's brothers.

  "Run! Run quickly!" Zhang Qi made a decision in less than one-tenth of a second.

  However, running is not something that can be done just by saying run, it requires an opportunity.

  Opportunities always favor those who are prepared! Zhang Qi's preparation was very sufficient, so he soon saw the opportunity: to put 'medicine' in everyone's dinner!

  Zhang Qi had originally prepared the 'medicine' to deal with Ye Tufei's 'Meng' sweat 'medicine', but all along the way, Ye Tufei didn't give him a chance to administer the 'medicine'. Now, the opportunity was right in front of him, and he must seize it.

  However, the dinner of "Over the River Dragon" was not conducted simultaneously. The kitchen prepared three sets of dinner, one for the big head and middle and high-level heads, one for the brothers on shift, and one for the brothers on duty. Zhang Qi only completed the "medicine" work for one set of dinner, and the opportunity disappeared.

  But Zhang Qi's luck was surprisingly good, and the dinner that had been "medicated" was actually delivered to the brothers on duty! So, after everyone fell asleep, Zhang Qi led his men to drive the ten large mule carts away calmly. The next morning, news of Zhang Qi's escape spread to Ye Tuofei and Take Shoko.

  "Shall we chase? Or shall we not?" Yè Tú Fēi asked Zhú Xià Xìng Zǐ.

  "He might have been in a hurry, you're injured like this, just forget it!"

  "Hmm, okay, just in time to review that group of 'blind' robbers. Oh, Yuki-san, I might have some physical problems, can you trouble yourself to help me?"

  "Of course."

  Yuki happily accepted the request, and Yotsuba smiled with joy.

  Let's talk nonsense. They say writing a book is tiring, I didn't believe it, but after trying, it indeed is. They say posting three updates a day is tiring, I didn't believe it either, but after trying again, it indeed is. Actually, typing isn't tiring, what's tiring is the attachment and concern, constantly refreshing the screen over and over again. For the sake of one member clicking, I'm delighted; for the sake of one recommendation, I'm happy; for the sake of one new collection, I'm excited. Everyone, let Old Smoke persist with three updates of 10,000 words each day, and you'll make Old Smoke die from delight, happiness, and excitement, okay?
