Chapter Thirty-One: Unexpected

  Beyond one's expectation

  Blindly happy didn't know that the Second Fool hadn't confessed, but rather Cloud Soaring Angel used a trick to distract him. He wrote "Chinese" on one piece of paper and "Japanese" on another. When he shouted: "Are you Chinese?", Wang Qi, who received the signal, placed the paper with "Japanese" in front of San Ge, who was eager to survive and hastily replied without thinking: "No, I'm Japanese." This sentence crushed Blindly Happy.

  He had been to Japan for several years and understood Japanese. He was originally a regular businessman in Linping, but a few years ago, the Japanese found him and forced him to surrender through intimidation and temptation. Later, he was allowed to come to Lingfeng and open a wine shop called "Wenxiangzui", which became a foothold for the Special High Command. The real name of Xiaokai is Ono Jiro, a Japanese who is also the leader of the Falcon Action Team and the highest commander of the Japanese army stationed in Lingfeng. There were eight people in total, including one female special agent who was the deputy leader of this action. But later, it's unknown where she went? Two other people also disappeared about three or four months ago. They now have two hideouts, one is Wenxiangzui Wine Shop and the other is a hostage detention center on the outskirts. Except for Ono Jiro, all the remaining Japanese are there. Xiaokai said: He only knew that the Japanese had a Falcon Action plan, but he was not clear about the specific content. Xiaokai also said: His real name was Meifu, which sounded like "no luck", so later people called him Xiaokai and he accepted it gladly.

  He carelessly watched the three people in front of him, Huang Min who was unmoved, Yezi Chun whose face was red with anger, but what he feared most was Yun Xiangtian who had a smile on his face. He thought to himself: "A person who can pry open a Japanese person's mouth, he is absolutely not ordinary."

  "Go on!" Yezi Chun roared in anger.

  Yun Xiang Tian still smiled and said: "Chunzi Ge, don't worry? He will say it. Right, Mei Fu?"

  Mei Fu looked at Yun Xiangtian with a tense expression, thinking for half a day before suddenly saying: "Oh, right. The other day, Kojiro Sano got drunk and told me that 'the special agents of the Great Japanese Imperial Army are everywhere, and Honda-kun has brought his special agents into the military camp, successfully starting to win over the Chinese garrison at Lingfeng Peak.' I don't know if this is useful for you?"

  Huang Min and Ye Zichun stood up nervously. Huang Min asked: "How many of them are there?"

  Mei Fu shook his head and said: "Officer, I really don't know anything about this."

  "Anything else? Anything left unsaid?" Seeing Mei Fu shake his head, Yun Xiang Tian said: "Go back and think carefully, report any situation immediately, strive to make up for it, and be lenient. Take him away."

  Huang Min sat down again: "Speak up, brother. You seem to have a plan in mind. With your many clever ideas, think of a solution. The big battle is imminent, and we can't afford to make any mistakes. If a mutiny really occurs, Lingfeng will be lost for sure."

  Yun Xiang Tian thought for a moment and said: "Yesterday night you just destroyed the Wenxiang Zuijiu Workshop, the Japanese spies must have taken precautions. Overdoing it would only have the opposite effect. Two days later I will come down from the mountain to assist you in digging out the Japanese spies. Chunzi Ge, do you think that's okay?"

  Ye Zi Chun let out a sigh and said: "You're in charge, I've broken three leather whips and still couldn't get anything out of him. You, on the other hand, just used a piece of scrap paper and everything was settled. And to top it off, you even got important intel. I'm impressed, whatever you say, I'll do. Alright?" He looked at Yun Xiang Tian carefully and continued: "I really don't know if you have a human brain or not."

  Huang Min also relaxed and said: "He not only doesn't have a human brain, but also has a belly full of tricks. Let me tell you, Comrade Ye, you'd better be careful with this kid, or else one day he'll get the better of you and leave you hanging."

  The whole process, Hongshan girl and the foolish monk stared with wide eyes, they did not expect that Yunxiang Tian would get Mei Fu's confession out with such a simple method, it was simply unthinkable. Until Yezi Chun and Huang Min started teasing Yunxiang Tian, they began to prepare for the noon banquet.

  The tense atmosphere was eased in the teasing of a few people. Huang Min didn't dare to stay on the mountain for long, and after lunch, she hurried down the mountain.

  In the afternoon, Yunxiang Tian accompanied Hongshan Gu and knocked on Xiuzhu's door. Yunxiang Tian first said a lot of good things and apologized for his mistakes before Xiuzhu showed a smile. Yunxiang Tian then said a few more words, and Xiuzhu became abnormally excited, saying: "Hmm, this will definitely be fun."

  All day, Chuan Yu Mu didn't see Xiu Zhu. She felt a little strange in her heart. Although she had received strict training, she still had some conscience as a human being. In the two years at Anmin Village, Xiu Zhu treated her like a sister and took care of her everywhere. This time, seeing Xiu Zhu cry for her again, she couldn't help but feel a little moved. She really wanted to know what Xiu Zhu was doing now.

  When night fell, the guard brought her food, all of which were her favorite dishes. The guard put down the food and muttered: "I don't know what good fortune you have accumulated in your past life to get Miss's favor, she is so miserable because of you, but she still takes care of you like this. It's unreasonable."

  The guard looked unhappy, and Kawahagi Kitaro cautiously asked, "What's wrong, miss?"

  "Miss, what's wrong with you? You're saying Miss is in trouble! Are you satisfied now?! In the beginning, Miss rescued you and treated you like a sister, but in the end, you became a traitor for the Japanese. Now she's crying and begging the boss not to kill you, which only made him angry and locked her up. You've really brought suffering to Miss!" Then he sighed and said: "Alas, what's the point of telling you all this? Eat quickly, who knows if we can eat tomorrow or not."

  Someone outside shouted: "Old Six, what's the point of saying those things to her? Come out quickly!"

  Lao Liu said as he went out, "Alas, I couldn't bear it. What a good girl she was, blindly believing in the Emperor's nonsense about Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere. So young and already leaving home to suffer here. Just think how her mother would feel if she knew what state she's in now?"

  Another one said, "What are you talking about? Old Six, those little Japanese devils came to China and committed all sorts of atrocities, burning, killing, looting, and raping our sisters. How can you still sympathize with her? Are you stupid?"

  Lao Liu stopped for a long time before saying, "I think she was also deceived. In the past two years, I haven't seen her do anything bad, but rather feel that she is a kind-hearted girl. It's all because of this war, you see how many people have died in this battle. What a sin."

  Two people were whispering outside. Inside, Kawano Mika had no appetite for the meal prepared for her. She thought of her parents holding her hands and strolling under blooming cherry blossom trees. She also recalled the disaster brought to China by war and the scene where Xiuzhu was rescued from bad people.

  Two years ago, Xiuzhu saved the then-Cuizhuo (now Chuan Xiongmu) from being bullied by bad people. Although it was all part of Chuan Xiongmu's plan to infiltrate Anmin Village, one could still see the sincerity in Xiuzhu's actions when she rescued her. Later on, Xiuzhu treated her with even more care and affection, like a sister. But now...

  The conversation outside broke her train of thought. The man said, "It's said that the Japanese have iron teeth and copper mouths, unable to pry out a single word. How is it that this time at Wén Xiāng Zuì Jiǔ Fáng, they were able to get this little Yajirobe to confess without using torture?"

  Kawao Kimito was shocked, thinking "Has Ono-kun also been caught? How could he have blown his cover? Did he really leak the intelligence too? No way. He's one of the best agents in the Imperial Japanese Army."

  Lao Liu said: "Nonsense, Japanese special agents are tough and stubborn, trying to get information out of their mouths is harder than climbing to the sky."

  Another one said: "It's true. When they were interrogated today, I was present at the scene. He not only revealed all eight people involved in the Falcon Operation plan but also provided a major piece of intelligence."

  "What intelligence?" Old Six asked in pursuit.

  Another person said: "They also have an organization that is lurking among the garrison of Zhū Líng Fēng, which is engaged in counter-revolutionary activities. The leader's name is something Honda...". He stopped and then continued to say: "Oh, right, it's called Honda..."

  Lao Liu suddenly interrupted him and said: "Are you looking for death? How dare you spread such important information? If it leaks out, it's not good. Speak softly."

  Another person chuckled and said in a low voice: "You, ..."

  The voice behind became extremely faint, and Kawahigashi Natsumi couldn't hear it at all. She slumped there in despair.

  Just as Chuan Yu Mu Nanzi was about to be killed, Old Six suddenly shouted: "Who? Halt! Take one more step and I'll shoot!"
