After a short time, a dark shadow flashed in the dim bamboo forest. Takahashi Jiro turned his head vigilantly and saw a thin figure quietly walking out of the bamboo forest on the side, his movements were extremely light, and there was no sound under his feet.

Takahashi Jiro knew in his heart that this thin black shadow must be the Yoshida who was going to follow him and Saito to the top of the mountain. Sure enough, the visitor walked up to Saito silently and raised his hand to salute, and then glanced sharply at Takahashi Jiro next to him.

Saito looked at him and whispered, "You follow me and this Takahashi Jiro, this is the cousin of our deputy head Takahashi", and then turned his head to look at Kotahashi and introduced: "This is Yoshida".

Yoshida and Takahashi Jiro raised their hands to salute each other at the same time, and their eyes quickly glanced at each other in the dim bamboo forest.

Saito immediately whispered to Yoshida and assigned a combat mission, and then said to the two: "Our soldiers are divided into two ways, the task of Kameda and his party is mainly to contain the opponent's forces, and our task is to choose the opportunity to secretly approach the top of the mountain to seize the treasure. Once we pass through the dense forest and approach the top of Lingxiu Mountain, Yoshida and I will be in charge of covering, and you will be in charge of entering the cave and seizing the treasure! ”

As he spoke, a bright light appeared in his eyes, staring at Jiro Takahashi closely. Jiro Takahashi looked up at Saito in shock, wondering how he could have entrusted himself with such an important task. Speaking of which, there must be a large number of guards ambushed around the entrance of the cave, and the task of covering the entry into the cave is the most dangerous and arduous.

Saito saw his surprised gaze and explained: "According to the situation in the cave you said, the cave is extremely cold, and Yoshida and I don't have the kind of feminine skill you cultivate, even if you enter the cave, you will be slow to move in that extreme cold, although your fire dragon pill can temporarily resist this kind of cold, but there is no deep foundation of internal strength, and your actions and thinking will definitely be affected, so you are the most suitable person to enter the cave to seize the treasure."

Takahashi Jiro nodded, knowing in his heart that he was indeed the best candidate at the moment to enter the cave to carry out this last task, and this was not Saito's retreat or other intentions, but indeed the conclusion reached after careful consideration.

At that time, in the cave, although he and the two mercenaries had eaten the fire dragon pill, the reaction of the two mercenaries was indeed affected, otherwise one of them would not have been hit by the rubble shot into the hall of the cave. At that time, if it was outside the cave, the mercenary who was already on guard would definitely have time to dodge the sudden rubble, although the opponent's skill was extremely profound, but the hidden weapon thrown out with his bare hands could not match the speed of the bullet.

Takahashi Jiro hurriedly nodded at Saito, and he did have some admiration for this mercenary squad leader in his heart.

After meeting with the mercenaries, Saito repeatedly asked him about every detail of his last operation, and it seemed that the purpose of those seemingly casual inquiries was to understand all aspects of the target's situation and formulate a well-thought-out plan of action for this operation. It is no wonder that Kuroda sent him to carry out this difficult task, this person is indeed a rare talent with careful thinking, and is not simply an ordinary mercenary with a high level of technical and tactical skills.

Takahashi Jiro pondered in his heart, his eyes glued to Saito, carefully analyzing his every order to prevent him from using himself, an outsider, as cannon fodder.

Ever since he met Saito's mercenaries, he had always felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, lest these mercenaries from the Yamaguchi security guards would treat him as an outsider, fearing that they would throw him out and die in the heat of the battle. Speaking of which, he is an outsider in the end, and he can even sell his wife and children at the moment of life and death, how can he protect himself at the moment of life and death, an outsider who he has never known.

Saito raised his eyes and saw Kodahashi staring at him, and he suddenly hesitated in his eyes, and then understood what he was thinking. He stared coldly at Xiao Takahashi and asked unabashedly, "Are you worried that we will dump you at a critical moment?" ”

Takahashi Jiro's face turned red, he really didn't expect this Saito to be so sensitive, and he guessed the worry in his heart at once. He smiled awkwardly, then pulled out the pistol on his waist and whispered, "The firepower in my hands is too weak now, I'm worried about what happens......"

Saito heard his doubts, a cold light suddenly shot out of his eyes, and he replied in a cold tone: "Don't worry, weapons are not a thing, as long as we enter Lingxiu Mountain, we may encounter the other party's guards at any time, will you still lack weapons if you have them?!" ”

Takahashi Jiro was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then understood what Saito meant: as long as he enters Lingxiu Mountain, he may encounter an opponent with a gun at any time, and with the concealment of his own people, he will definitely be able to quietly approach the opponent and obtain a weapon.

He grinned, in fact, he was worried that it was not this, and the answer just now was just a temporary excuse found under Saito's questioning.

Saito didn't understand his thoughts, he looked at this little Takahashi and continued to comfort: "Although you are not our mountain pass security guards, but we are all comrades-in-arms who advance and retreat together on the line of life and death, and the action plan I am formulating now is that the three of us will approach the top of the mountain, and the rest of us will be responsible for covering our actions." Once we enter the dense forest, we will face several times or dozens of times the enemy, how can I abandon you in such a situation of disparity between us and foe? Besides, once you enter the cave and get that treasure, how can we give you away! ”

Saito did understand the concerns of this little Takahashi, and now that the operation was about to begin, he had to find a way to dispel the concerns in the heart of this little Takahashi, so as not to affect the execution of the plan.

The current situation has changed greatly from the information he obtained before he came, and the original plan of action was only to deal with some martial arts practitioners armed with bows, arrows and knives, but now there are military police with guns here, which makes him feel a strong uneasiness in his heart.

In order to carry out this operation, he only brought eleven mercenaries, plus himself and this little Takahashi were only thirteen people. In the short contact in the afternoon, there was a serious battle attrition, and the four team members were killed by the opponent in one fell swoop, which made him feel a shock in his heart, and he felt depressed in his heart, as if the towering Lingxiu Mountain not far away suddenly pressed on his heart, making him feel quite breathless. So I quickly readjusted the action plan I had made with the head of the regiment, Kuroda.

However, due to the lack of four team members, Saito did feel that he was overstretched in terms of personnel deployment, and it was really difficult for him to face several times or dozens of times the opponents of just a few people, and he also had to climb to the top of the mountain to complete such a difficult task.
