This was the second night after entering the Japanese pirate camp.
The military tent where Xia Shang and Xue Lengxiang were located was not far from Ji Zi's tent.
Behind the tent, you can feel the lights flashing inside the tent.
Xia Shang hunched over and hid in a dark corner, listening very carefully to every move in the tent.
Xue Lengxiang was beside Xia Shang, rubbing her eyes in some pajamas, obviously not awake yet.
Judging from Xue Lengxiang's expression, the opponent seemed not to have been affected by the defeat during the day, and felt relatively relaxed, which was why he slept so soundly.
"Master, what are we going to do now?" Xue Lengxiang asked in a low voice in Xia Shang's ear.
Xia Shang stayed close to the tent. After listening for a while, he found nothing. Then he turned back and whispered to Xue Lengxiang: "Something may happen tonight. If I guess correctly, Ji Zi may be in danger."
"Something will happen?" Xue Lengxiang frowned slightly, as if she didn't believe it.
"When you fought with Japanese warriors during the day, everyone's eyes were focused on the battlefield, except for some sneaky figures in the farthest corner. Their eyes fell on Yoshiko, and they were communicating secretly.
And judging from the clothes of those people, they should be gangsters from the Xuzhou area. Now they have been recruited by the Japanese pirate team, and their situation is similar to that of the man we saw during the day."
"What does this mean?"
"Judging from the situation of the Xuzhou gangsters who died today, their life in the Japanese pirate barracks was very difficult. Anywhere there is oppression, there will be resistance. If it were me, when I noticed that there was an anti-Japanese pirate here,
When a woman is very important but has no power to restrain her, I will also find a way to attack this woman."
"Master, what you mean is that the remaining bandits here will unite to kidnap the Japanese pirate woman?"
"I think it's very possible..." Xia Shang pondered.
Although this is said, the real Xia Shang did not have great confidence.
After listening to Xia Shang's words, Xue Lengxiang gradually became serious: "Are we here to protect her secretly? But didn't the master say that she took the so-called fake death medicine, so there is no need to worry about anything going wrong with her?"
"Although she took the drug of suspended animation, it can only work once and prevent her from getting into trouble.
Don't let anything happen to her. This way we will have more opportunities."
"Then what should we do next? With such secretive protection, if someone discovers us, they may regard us as people with evil intentions. Moreover, if it is just some bandit remnants who want to attack Japanese women in the Japanese pirates' military camp,
Unfavorable, it’s not that easy to think about, right? Maybe we don’t have to intervene at all.”
Xia Shang smiled lightly and said: "It is naturally impossible for these remnants of bandits to harm Jizi. With their ability, they probably won't be able to get close to this place. But it may not be possible if they encounter special circumstances."
"Special circumstances?" Xue Lengxiang was a little confused.
"Don't forget what Jizi told us before he came here. If there are really people among the Japanese pirates here who don't want Jizi to live, they may use the help of these bandit remnants to get rid of Jizi. And
They can just take the opportunity to tell everyone that it was Dahua's people who killed Jizi. If everything Jizi said is true, when such a situation occurs, a greater conflict will inevitably break out between Dahua and Japan."
"Master, are your worries too far-reaching..."
"Since we're already here, let's wait and see. Besides, I have my own plans."
Xue Lengxiang didn't ask any more questions. She knew that all Master's actions were taken into consideration by Master.
Time passed little by little until it was the fourth watch. The Japanese camp was at its quietest time, and the lights in the tent where Jizi was were also turned off...
Just when everything was silent, Xia Shang's attention was gradually relaxing, after all, things were uncertain.
"Master!" Xue Lengxiang, who had been silent until now, suddenly lowered her voice. She seemed to have noticed something first.
Xia Shang was reminded and felt some movement in the southeast direction blocked by the tent.
The next moment, Xia Shang took out a dagger.
"Master, what do you want to do?"
Xia Shang pointed to the tent and motioned to open an opening from here and go in first.
With Xia Shang and Xue Lengxiang's ability, it is not difficult to sneak into a tent without being discovered.
Entering the tent, the view is very blurry, but the tent is very spacious. There is a bed in the southeast corner, and you can see Yoshiko sleeping on the bed.
Except for Yoshiko, there was no one else in the tent. There were only a few guards outside, looking through
In the faint moonlight, you can see the shadow cast on the tent, and it seems that the guards did not notice anything.
"Ji Zi, Ji Zi..." Xia Shang came to the bedside and shouted a few words in a low voice.
Jizi must not be in any danger. Judging from the current situation, Xia Shang has gradually accepted Jizi's words and believes that her words are true.
And she will become a key figure in this war.
Xia Shang came here to remind Jizi that it was best to avoid it in advance.
But after Xia Shang shouted twice, he found that Jizi had no reaction and seemed to be sleeping deeply.
"Yoshiko! Yoshiko!"
Xia Shang shouted twice more and pushed the other person gently.
Jizi still had no reaction, and Xia Shang felt that the other party's body was a little cold...
Xia Shang felt an ominous premonition in his heart...
Xia Shang was a little nervous and put his hand on Ji Zi's wrist. After a moment of testing, his expression changed.
"How could this happen?" Xia Shang whispered, his whole body tense.
Fortunately, Xia Shang had a plan, because he gave Ji Zi the elixir, so there was still room for change.
But things like the elixir were too bizarre after all. Xia Shang had never tried it, and he didn't know if the medicine was effective, so he was still a little panicked when he found out that Ji Zi was dead.
"Master...she..."
Xue Lengxiang also noticed something unusual about Ji Zi at this time and asked anxiously.
Xia Shang raised his hand to stop her from talking, quickly helped Ji Zi up, and whispered to Xue Lengxiang: "Check first to see if it is trauma or poisoning?"
Both of them realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately began to examine Yoshiko.
After groping around Yoshiko's body for a while, I didn't find any wounds. Instead, I found that Yoshiko's tongue was blue and there was a strange smell in her mouth.
This is the most common symptom of food poisoning, but you can’t tell what kind of poison it is just by looking at it.
Before Xia Shang could get results, the guards outside seemed to notice the movement inside.
The curtain of the tent was suddenly opened, and several guards rushed forward when they saw Xia Shang and Xue Lengxiang inside.
At the same time, two people ran away shouting, apparently wanting to spread the news about what happened tonight.
