Chapter 25: One Move, Two Gains

  "Go and report to the team leader!", At this time, Qi Guoyuan was also panicked, he immediately ordered. "Also! Take that Chu Huainan together! I suspect they are in cahoots."

  "Yes!", several fake soldiers rushed downstairs in a hurry. "It's too late, Captain Qi." Sun Guocai said on the side.

  "Late? How did you know?" asked Qiguo Yuan in confusion.

  "When I came in just now, the fellow here told me that Mr. Chu left after drinking yesterday." Sun Guocai replied.

  "Really?", Zhen Guoyuan still didn't want to believe it was true. At this time, the soldier who had gone downstairs ran back up and shouted to Zhen Guoyuan: "Not good, Squad Leader! That Chu Huainan has escaped!", "Damn it! Chase him down for me!", Zhen Guoyuan angrily commanded.

  Chase? Where to chase? They've already left the city! As soon as it got light, a group of people arrived at the county city gate. They claimed to be under the orders of Lan Guoqing, the deputy commander of the security team, to carry out a mission. The soldiers guarding the city didn't ask any questions and let them pass. The soldiers thought they were really going out on a mission!

  After leaving the city gate, Lan Guo Qing was filled with regret. At first, he really thought he had been kidnapped by the Black Wind Gang, but now they told him that they were actually members of the Eighth Route Army. He knew very well what would happen if he fell into their hands! His time was up, and he wouldn't have a good ending.

  "Bastards! What are you people eating? Can't even protect one living person?", Zhang Shaodong cursed angrily. Qi Guoyuan wanted to say something but didn't dare, he had already been slapped by Zhang Shaodong several times.

  "Hei Feng Village, Liu Heizi! You're really asking for it! You even dare to touch my people!" Zhang Shaodong cursed angrily.

  "Notify the troops to assemble and follow me to attack Heifeng Village!", Zhang Shaodong wants to lead his men to attack Heifeng Village and regain this face.

  "Captain! We should think about the long-term plan! Vice Captain Lan is in their hands, it's more important to rescue Vice Captain Lan first. Once we get him back, we can go and deal with Black Wind Fortress later!" Lu Li hurriedly came up to persuade Zhang Shao Dong as soon as he saw him wanting to attack Black Wind Fortress.

  "Yes, Captain! The monks can't run away from the temple, let's bring them back and then we can go after those others, it won't be too late!", the other subordinates also persuaded him on the side.

  "Alright! Let's spare them for now, and wait until we get Vice Captain Lan back. We'll definitely take down the Black Wind Fortress." Zhang Shaodong was still not satisfied. Zhang Shaodong's eagerness to rescue Lan Guoqiang wasn't because their friendship was particularly deep, but rather because Lan Guoqiang still had some use value for him. Sometimes he really couldn't do without this Zhang Shaodong; whenever there were matters that couldn't be decided, he would always discuss them with Lan Guoqiang together.

  "Captain! We've received a letter from Heifeng Village!", a fake soldier rushed into Zhang Shaodong's house and handed him a package. Upon opening the package, he found Lian Guoqiang's belongings and a letter that read: "Captain Zhang! Please have Vice-Captain Lan come visit us, my brother is in a bit of a tight spot lately, thanks to Vice-Captain Lan's generosity, he agreed to help me out with this favor. However, it's not convenient for him to return now, so I'm asking you to lend a hand. My request is simple: 50 quick-firing guns, 1,000 bullets, and 5,000 yuan. We'll meet at the forest 15 miles east of the city tomorrow at noon to exchange the goods. After receiving the payment, we will naturally return the person. Respectfully, Liu Heizi."

  "Bang! Bastard! This Liu Heizi really has big ambitions!" Zhang Shaodong slapped the letter on the table, "How did you receive this package?" Zhang Shaodong asked in puzzlement.

  "I, I met their people outside the city, and they asked me to hand this package over to the captain." The soldier muttered. In fact, it wasn't like that at all, he was caught by Liu Wentao's men outside the city and then released. How dare he tell Zhang Shaodong the truth now!

  "This Liu Heizi is really black-hearted! This is a big mouth of a lion!", Lu Li scolded after reading it.

  "Tomorrow I'll personally lead a team to meet this Liu Heizi, and after picking up Vice-Commander Lan, I will definitely destroy the Black Wind Fortress!", Zhang Shaodong vowed to destroy the Black Wind Fortress.

  At this moment, in the forest east of the city, Li Xinmin was leading his men to set up an ambush, making sure everything was ready. Li Xinmin immediately found a good vantage point near the exchange location and prepared to take out Zhang Shaodong personally.

  Liu Wentao led his men in ambush at another location, ready to support Li Xinmin at any time. He pulled out some people to continue disguising themselves as members of the Black Wind Stockade.

  Zhang Shaodong and his men arrived on time as promised, and when they saw them arrive, Li Jun walked out of the woods. "Director Zhang is really punctual! How's it going? Did you bring everything?" Li Jun said in a fake bandit tone. In fact, he was buying time for Li Xinmin, because an excellent sniper needs to adjust and calculate every time he takes action, and can only take action after confirming success, requiring that the shot must be successful, otherwise it will lose the opportunity and alert the enemy.

  At this moment, Zhang Shaodong did not know that several gun muzzles were tightly aimed at him, one of which was even aimed at his head. Only one of these guns belonged to Li Xinmin, and the others were insurance left by Li Xinmin in case he missed, so that if Li Xinmin missed, the others would fire simultaneously at Zhang Shaodong, even if he was not killed, he would be seriously injured.

  Zhang Shaodong was now on guard against the forest in front of him, because the people and horses of Heifengzhai were hiding in the forest in front of him. As for what was behind him, he didn't take any precautions at all. In his subconscious mind, these people were just bandits from Heifengzhai, they just wanted to extort some money from him. Moreover, he had brought more than 200 people with him, and it was unlikely that Heifengzhai would make a move lightly!

  "Where's Liu Heizi? Let him come out and talk to me!", Zhang Shaodong saw that it wasn't Liu Heizi, so he didn't want to bother with Li Jun.

  "Don't worry! Captain Zhang, our big boss is just in the woods behind us! If I receive something here, he will naturally come out to see you. At that time, it won't be just him who comes out, but also your Deputy Captain Lan." Without a doubt, Zhang Shaodong waved his hand towards the back.

  "Is this the man who took away Deputy Commander Di Lan?" Zhang Shaodong asked again, not at ease, and asked Qi Guoyuan beside him. "It's this man! He's the one who led us astray." Qi Guoyuan recognized this "Chu Huainan" at a glance.

  "Bring the stuff over!", several fake soldiers brought over several large wooden crates.

  "Let's inspect the goods!", said Lu Li.

  Li Jun pretended to check the wooden boxes one by one, confirmed that everything was in order, and whistled. Then a few bandits came out of the forest, walked up without saying a word, lifted the wooden boxes and went into the forest.

  "Director Zhang, please wait a moment! I'll go and get our big boss out, as well as your Deputy Director Lan. Our big boss still has some things to discuss with you!", "Hurry the hell up! Stop wasting words!", Lu shouted back.

  Li Jun turned around and entered the forest, just as a gunshot rang out. Before everyone could react, Zhang Shaodong fell off his horse. Li Xinmin shot him with one bullet. Fresh blood and brain matter splattered everywhere, scattering the nearby puppet soldiers' faces.

  "An ambush!", the soldier suddenly reacted, hastily summoning other soldiers to prepare for battle. But who were they fighting? Where was the enemy? Not a single person was seen firing a shot. It must be the Black Wind Fortress people from the forest!
