Lend me a few strands of hair for use

  "Comrades, let's take a look at our spoils of war." The group of people who had launched a surprise attack the night before gathered together after a good sleep to examine their "loot".

  Gao Jiancheng brought back eight boxes of equipment, seven large and one small, all stacked together. "Come on, let's open them up and see what good stuff Gao Mu has prepared for us."

  "Get out of the way, I'm coming, I'm coming. You're all clumsy, you can't open anything good." Baozi shouted as he rushed to a trunk first.

  "Cut it out, you're still the same, everything in here is the same stuff, I don't believe you can still produce gold?" Shi Jinbao struck back at Baocheng with disdain.

  "If I open it, who knows what's inside? You open it, probably all mouse shit." Baozi also didn't show weakness.

  "You..."

  "Alright, alright, let's hurry up and take a look. We've been tired for a whole night, who knows, maybe there really is something good." Liu Jun stopped the two from bickering.

  "Come, let's take a look." Baozi used an iron bar to pry out all the nails around the box and lifted off the wooden board on top. "Hey, take a look at this! It's the latest model of machine gun from abroad."

  "Let me take a look." Ah Meng's eyes lit up as soon as he heard it was a machine gun. He snatched the machine gun from Baozi's hands and began to examine it, "Squad leader, this thing is mine now, heh heh."

  "Don't be in a hurry, let's see what's inside the other boxes." Gao Jiancheng gestured to Baozi to continue opening the boxes.

  "Look at this, my hands are still quite good, you'd better give me some credit."

  "Alright, alright, Baozi Ge, stop being poor. If you don't make a move, we'll have to take action against you." Dog Wa said, starting to rub his fists and prepare for battle.

  Baozi took a look at the group of people who were about to gang up on him, and quickly opened the remaining crates with nimble hands and feet. Inside each crate was neatly arranged new-style machine guns that were identical to those in the first crate.

  "Platoon leader, we have a total of seven machine guns and they are all the latest models. This will greatly enhance our combat effectiveness." Liu Jun also couldn't help but grab one of the machine guns.

  "Commander Lian, is this mine now?" Ah Mon asked, tightly hugging the machine gun from earlier.

  "Alright, I'll give in, but there's one condition."

  "Commander, as long as you give me this machine gun, I'll agree to any condition, no matter if it's one or ten."

  "There aren't many, just one. You must use this submachine gun well to go on the battlefield and kill the enemy."

  "No problem, heh heh." Amun grinned foolishly as he ran off to one side to wipe down his new machine gun.

  "Captain, there's also this box." Baozi carried over the small trunk and placed it in front of Gao Jiancheng.

  "You drive, I trust you."

  "It's not just the length, this box I can tell by its appearance that it's not ordinary, only someone with your status can open this kind of thing, a small soldier like me can only assist on the side."

  "Wow, this bag of city will also flatter, ah." Gao Jiancheng said this and the people around him burst out laughing. "Okay, I'll take a look, what's inside?"

  Gao Jiancheng took over the box and examined it carefully. This box was roughly the same length as the previous ones, but much thinner and narrower, probably around 10 centimeters. Gao Jiancheng weighed it in his hand, feeling significantly lighter.

  "It might just be a gold brick." Gao Jiancheng said with a smile. He carefully pried open the cover plate on top, and inside was another box.

  The box has a bright red lacquer finish, with intricate floral patterns carved all over it. The eight corners of the box are wrapped in brass, and there is also a brass lock on the front. On the top of the box, two large characters "Wu Dao" are written in black lacquer.

  "It's extraordinary at first glance."

  Gao Jiancheng opened the lock, inside which was a yellow silk face, holding a knife. The blade was straight in front, with a slight arc, and the entire scabbard was black, wrapped with animal skin. The handle was also similarly designed, with an oval-shaped guard between the handle and the blade, and on the back of the handle was a copper-carved plum blossom.

  Gao Jiancheng slowly pulled out the knife, and with a "hum" sound, the knife emitted a sword hum as it left its scabbard. The entire blade shone silver, with cloud patterns on its surface.

  "Good sword!" Old Gao exclaimed loudly after drawing out the sword.

  "Ah yo." Shi Jinbao covered his head and shouted, "What are you doing?"

  "Lend me a few strands of hair to use, why be so stingy?" Baozi took a strand of hair from the back of Shi Jinbao's head and placed it on the knife held by Gao Jiancheng. With a light blow, the hair was cut into two pieces. "Indeed, this is a sharp knife that can cut hair with just a blow."

  "I reckon Gaomu has gone mad now." Liu Jun said it right, Gaomu is smashing cups at the moment.

  "What else can you do? A bunch of good-for-nothings." Takagi finally managed to calm down after slamming things around the room. "Tell me, what exactly did we lose?"

  "Lost, lost seven of the latest model machine guns delivered by Commander-in-Chief, and...and..." The secretary stuttered and couldn't get it out.

  "What else? Speak!" The calmer Hidaka's tone was, the more the others in the room didn't dare to breathe a word, and they didn't even dare to wipe away the cold sweat on their foreheads.

  "Also, there's the plum blossom knife that His Majesty gave you..."

  "How was it?"

  "It's all over," said the clerk, feeling as if he had exhausted all his energy, and now awaited the trial of Takagi.

  "It's not your fault." Takagi's hands were clenched tightly, with veins bulging on his fists, but his tone was still calm and composed. "It's our own defense that wasn't done well, don't blame yourself. You've always wanted to return home, haven't you? I'm approving your return now."

  "Captain..." The secretary originally thought that Takagi would severely punish him, but unexpectedly, Takagi didn't punish him and even let him return to his country, which was his wish for many years. "Thank you, Captain, thank you, Captain."

  "Go and get ready, you'll be going back tomorrow." Takagi waved his hand, the clerk thanked him repeatedly, just as he was about to leave, a blood flower burst out on his forehead. The clerk fell straight down, his eyes wide open in death, never understanding why this had happened.

  "It's useless for you to go back, it's better to die in battle on the front lines and repay His Majesty's favor towards you." Takagi put the pistol back into his waist.

  "Company Commander, Company Commander, something's happened!" Gao Jiancheng was studying the new machine gun with a group of people from Class 6 when he heard Li Jing panting and shouting that something had happened.

  "What's wrong? Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly."

  Li Jing panted and said, pointing at his own tent: "Zhao, Zhao Guotang..."

  "What's wrong with Zhao Guotong?"
