Frightened, they hurriedly picked up their bags and scrambled through the back door, and drilled into the dense mountain forest behind the house.

There were no other options than hiding in the mountain and waiting for the soldiers to leave since it was unknown how many soldiers had entered the village. However, not long after they settled down, the original quiet village suddenly banging with gunshots.

Jiang Yufeng’s expression changed drastically. Taking out a pistol from his bag, he stepped forward to go down the mountain.

“Brother Feng, don’t go!” Qiao Wen hurriedly stopped him.

Jiang Yufeng thought he was afraid of danger and said anxiously: “Ajiao and the others have taken us in. I can’t just watch them suffer because of us. You three stay here. I will go down alone. If something happens, you guys escape by yourself.”

“I’ll go too.” Azhi also took out his gun and looked determined.

“Brother Feng, listen to me, this village is not as simple as it seems. If we go rashly like this, it may add to the chaos, so let’s observe the situation first before taking action.” Qiao Wen said while clasping Jiang Xianfeng’s arm tightly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yufeng visibly paused in his moment, and not only him but the remaining two, a total of six pairs of eyes, looked at him together, his words clearly confused the three.

Seeing Jiang Yufeng calm down, Qiao Wen explained in a low voice: “I have carefully observed these few days. There are no elderly or younger children in this village. The youngest villagers are in their teens, and the oldest is no more than 50. Normal villages shouldn’t be like this. And…” He paused slightly, “The fields looked more deserted, and there was no poultry and livestock in the village. But Ajiao said they have been here for more than a year, which is clearly unlikely, so I suspect that this was an abandoned village that happened to be discovered by these people and then used for the time being.”

Jiang Yufeng’s brows frowned, following his words, he recalled back. If it was true, it was just that he didn’t pay attention at all.

After a moment of reflection, he asked back, “Awen, what do you mean they are?”

Qiao Wen said: “Think about it, now that China is allied with the Northern Army. Now we’re in the southern army territory, but they are so kind to us— the Chinese merchants, so I presume that they are from the Northern Army and have infiltrated into this deep forest for some purpose. So these soldiers who somehow searched here didn’t necessarily shoot because they found our traces.”

Jiang Yufeng suddenly realized: “No wonder? I also said that I was lucky to meet such simple folk.”

Qiao Wen said with a laugh: “After almost 20 years of fighting, I’m afraid there are no honest or simple folks, all that left was only tough folk, it is hard to be honest.”

While they were talking, the gunshots below had stopped.

Jiang Yufeng was still not relieved, and whispered: “You guys hide here, now the gunshot subsides, I will go down to see what happens.”

But just as he was getting up, he heard a rustle not far away. Qiao Wen peeped off the bushes and caught a glimpse of a yellow corner of the clothing. If not mistaken, Ansha’s army uniform is this color.

He frowned and whispered: “Brother Feng, someone is running away over there, stop him!”

Following the firefight in the village, some soldiers saw that something wasn’t right, took advantage of the chaos, and fled to return to the base camp to report it.

Jiang Yufeng’s reaction was extremely fast. He picked up his pistol, and following the rustling sound, he ran after him. And shortly after, he returned, carrying two wounded soldiers in one hand.

At the same time, Ajiao and A Ming came up out of breath and were relieved to see the two wounded soldiers, then they looked at each other tacitly and said, “Let’s go back to the village and speak slowly.”

Despite the fact that war was terrible, an individual soldier’s life in war was like that of an ant, regardless of which side he or she belongs to. Likewise, this small group of team who had no plan and strategy to randomly came to look for the people in the village died just like that, never returning.

As for the people in the village, two people were shot dead in the fighting.

Fortunately, the group of four helped to stop the two fish that slipped through the net, otherwise, they might soon have to become turtles in the urn.

Back in the house, Ajiao siblings called the three people in the Village and sat opposite the four of them in a posture of preparing for a serious meeting. At the door stood several men armed with guns.

Qiao Wen finally understood why Ajiao gave him the feeling of being particularly capable at such a young age. Presumably she should be the leader of this group of people.

Ajiao took back her usual innocent look and spoke neatly, word for word, and Azhi followed her words and began to translate.

“Those people just now were Ansha’s soldiers. They said they were searching for a few Chinese who fled. You are not ordinary businessmen, so what is your relationship with Ansha?”

Instead of answering, Qiao Wen asked back, “You are the Northern Army, right? Just now the soldiers on Ansha’s side realized your identity, so they exchanged fire?”

After a moment of hesitation, Ajiao nodded her head in response: “We are indeed members of the Northern Army. Earlier we took you in because China and the Northern Army is a friend. Don’t worry, since Ansha is chasing after you, it means that we are Ansha’s enemy, and we won’t hurt you.”

“It is also true that this group of soldiers exchanged fire with us because they found out our identity. Since they can’t go back, it is estimated that in a few days, some soldiers will search here again. We are going to find another place. You also have to make other plans. You guys have escaped from Ansha’s lair, so can you please tell us the exact location of his lair?”

Qiao Wen asked: “You have mixed into this deep mountain because you want to kill Ansha, right?”

Ajiao said: “To be honest, we have received news that Ansha is going to flee to the United States because the defeat in the South has been decided. And before that, he had bought a batch of top-class grenades from overseas, ready to serve his ascent. Our mission is to wipe out Ansha and intercept these arms.” 

“But after Ansha retreats to the jungle, with his headquarters as the center, there are his checkpoints and large camps in all directions. We have no way of knowing the specific location of his headquarters.”

Qiao Wen and the others looked at each other.

So that’s how it is.

Ansha, the vicious wolf, was already preparing to flee the country, so his actions have a rational explanation.

Because this was his last trade, he killed his team of delivery brokers, and blamed the robbers for everything. In this way, he had no need to pay for the goods and it was enough of a fortune for him to go to the U.S. to enjoy the old age like Emperor.

Jiang Yufeng’s face sank and said angrily: “What an Ansha!” Then he said to Ajiao, “Now that the matter has come to this point, let’s be frank. We are the brokers who delivered arms to Ansha, but we didn’t expect him to kill us. Fortunately, we are lucky enough to survive, but a few brothers have died at his hands. You saved us, and we owe you a favor. Since Ansha is our common enemy, count as in your mission to kill Ansah and intercept the arms.”

Qiao Wen also intended to do the same thing. Although it was dangerous to get involved in this kind of thing, if they didn’t get rid of Ansha, it would be difficult for them to leave this place of right and wrong on their own.

Moreover, Ansha had killed six of their brothers, and this revenge really had to be avenged.

Ajiao was simply overjoyed to hear Jiang Yifeng’s words, and asked repeatedly. “Really?”

Jiang Yufeng nodded his head in response.

Qiao Wen thought for a while and said: “But this is something we have to plan carefully. Brother Nan’s injury also needs to recuperate for two more days. I believe they won’t be here for these two days.”

“I’m already fine.” Chen Jianan’s swift reply came from the side.

Qiao Wen said: “You don’t have to try to be a hero.”

Chen Jianan resentfully shut his mouth.
