While Fengdu City was busy searching for the officials of the Logistics Department, ten thousand Japanese people were already ambushing them in the Populus euphratica forest ten miles outside Guimen Pass.
Their goal today is to intercept Cao Ning.
However, Wu Feng, who led the team, has been squatting here for a full day, but there is still no sign of Cao Ning.
The team leader got a little impatient, so he ran up to ask.
"Your Excellency Wufeng, could it be that Sir Ximen's intelligence is wrong? Why hasn't the target person come yet?"
"Watanabe-kun, you are too impatient. There is an old Chinese saying that you can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient. Do you understand?"
Wufeng continued to explain calmly while wiping the big sword Ximen Wudi gave him personally.
"Master Ximen is in an important position, so he must have his own source of intelligence.
Since he asked us to wait here, it doesn't matter if we wait one more day.
Besides, Mr. Ximen has promised to let us go home after the matter is completed, so why don't we have any reason not to handle this matter well?
You’d better be patient and wait a little longer.”
"Hey, what you said is absolutely true!"
The chubby-faced Watanabe nodded naively: "Although I can go home soon, I really can't bear to part with the pork head here. It's so delicious."
When he was in the underworld, Watanabe was a true foodie.
When the coastal towns were conquered and everyone was busy searching for gold and silver treasures, he was looking for delicious food from house to house.
Among them, his favorite food is pork head meat.
But since the soul returned to the underworld, I have never eaten it again.
"..."
Hearing that his subordinates were so hopeless, Wufeng suddenly stiffened.
When he was in the earthly world, he heard that Watanabe liked to eat, but he didn't expect that he would still miss eating after he died.
He put down the big sword in his hand, turned around and held up Watanabe's chubby face.
"Watanabe-kun, don't think about eating every day. Look at how fat you have become.
If you eat again, if you eat again I will call you Captain Pig Head."
Wufeng rubbed Watanabe's fat face, almost turning it into a mess.
Watanabe drooped with aggrieved face: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, I was wrong!"
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Your Excellency Wufeng!"
At this time, the sentry from the front suddenly came to report!
Wufeng let go of Watanabe, stood up excitedly and looked at the sentry: "What's wrong? Is the target person here?"
The sentry detective shook his head: "Your Excellency, you are not the target person!
Yes, the Logistics Department is on fire, and the entire south side is on fire."
"What, there is such a thing? Take me to see it quickly!"
Wufeng was shocked when he heard it!
The Logistics Department is a key protection unit of the underworld, so how could a fire ignite inexplicably?
Under the leadership of the sentinel, Wufeng climbed to the nearby hills and gazed into the distance.
Although the fire in the south has dissipated a lot at this moment, there are still thick billows of white flames rising slowly, and even the air is filled with a burning smell.
The once bustling location of the logistics department has now become a ruin.
The Logistics Department no longer exists!
"This, what is going on? How could the Logistics Department be burned down? Who is so bold?" Wu Feng said in shock.
"I don't know!"
The sentry shook his head and explained: "There are Yin soldiers everywhere near Fengdu City. Our people dare not get close, so we did not get any specific information."
The Japanese have always been unwelcome whether on the ground or underground, especially Wu Feng and others who were hidden.
They have been hidden deep in the mountains for hundreds of years.
They are afraid of being caught doing hard labor or being relegated to the reincarnation of animals.
Therefore, they dare not have any contact with outsiders, which also leads to them being blocked from information and knowing nothing about the outside world.
"Sir, the Logistics Department has been destroyed, do we still need to continue our mission?" Watanabe asked.
Wufeng turned around and glanced at Watanabe, and said calmly: "Watanabe-kun, I know what you are worried about.
Are you afraid that Lord Ximen will be buried in a sea of fire, or that he will be dismissed from office by the underworld, causing his promise to us to be unable to be fulfilled?
No, no, no, you are overthinking!
If you think this way, it means you still don't understand the temperament of the Chinese people.
They have always paid attention to the importance of both prosperity and loss.
Although the Logistics Department was destroyed this time, it does not mean that Mr. Ximen will lose power. I even guess that it is very likely that he started the fire himself.
I suspect that he did this desperate act just to climb up the ladder better.
Moreover, even after such a big thing happened, he didn't send anyone to ask us to cancel the operation, which means that this ambush is very important to him, and we must work even harder to do it well.
Only in this way can he fulfill his promise to us."
"What you said is absolutely true!
But who is that Cao Ning?
To deal with him alone, we should dispatch 10,000 people to deal with him?
Will he be an extremely difficult guy?" Watanabe worried.
"Haha, so what!"
Wu Feng sneered first, then raised the big sword in his hand.
"Back then, we defeated the officers and soldiers with just a samurai sword. If it hadn't been for that guy's appearance, how could we have ended up in this situation?
But now you take a look at our equipment.
We now have this batch of underworld weapons provided by Master Ximen, and their strength is no longer the same as before.
Even if that guy comes again, I am confident that I can defeat him.
What's more, we're dealing with a mere ferryman now?
Haha, Watanabe-kun, just wait until you go back to drink the sake bar in your hometown."
Watanabe turned around and looked at the Japanese troops redressing at the foot of the hillside, and his confidence instantly doubled.
Before setting off, Ximen Wudi was worried that the weapons in their hands were too old and could not hurt Cao Ning.
Therefore, a batch of weapons from the logistics department's security warehouse were specially smuggled out.
When thousands of long knives and armor were transported to the Japanese camp, they were so excited that they almost offered Ximen Wudi as their ancestor.
There is no way, these people are hidden in secret, and they don't dare to have any contact with the people in the underworld, let alone replace their equipment.
Now with this set of equipment, let alone letting them deal with Cao Ning, they would even dare to go head-to-head with Yin soldiers.
...
On the other side, Cao Ning was carrying Lin Xiaoyun and was about to leave the gate of hell when he saw two familiar figures hiding in the dark.
The two of them were hiding behind the locust tree, as if they were doing something shady.
Seeing this, Cao Ning immediately came up curiously, but the two people who were busy eating dog meat hot pot under the tree did not realize that anyone was coming from behind.
Bai Wuchang scooped up the dog meat in the casserole and said casually: "Hey, Lao Hei, have you heard that that boy Cao Ning burned down the logistics department again, and even blamed the saint?"
Hei Wuchang nodded with a straight face: "I heard, it seems that Ximen Wudi also suffered a big fall.
Not only did he just cross the Naihe Bridge, he was kicked into the Tunnel of Reincarnation to be a pig without even giving him soup."
"Ah, you don't even give him any soup?"
Bai Wuchang was stunned when he heard this: "Then since he was born, hasn't he been thinking about when he will be killed and eaten for meat every day?"
Hei Wuchang took a bite of the meat and added: "More than that, I heard that people in the world now like to eat piglets that have just been full moon.
It is said that the roasted suckling pork made this way is more tender."
