Hearing the footsteps and stopping outside the hospital, Zhao Shixun took a grenade handed over by Dapeng and carefully pulled off the safe.

At this moment, a loud shout rang out.

"Listen, the strongman in the courtyard, we are the guardian of Master Zhou Hongwen, the maintenance chairman of the village, and we have already discovered your whereabouts.

Today, our lord is here in person, just to hope that you can understand the current affairs. As long as you lay down your arms and walk out with your hands raised, our lord promises not to harm you. ”

After saying this, Fang Yong glanced at the few men around him, asking them to disperse to both sides and pay attention to the position of the wall.

Listening to the shouts outside, Zhao Shixun and the others all stared with bated breath, their hearts pounding.

As soon as the words fell, Dapeng pulled Zhao Shixun beside him, lowered his voice and said:

"What should I do, do not move?"

Glancing at Dapeng with a nervous face, Zhao Shixun hesitated.

If you start fighting at this time, it is tantamount to tearing your face directly with the other party. I'm not afraid, but what should the old Liu Tou and his family in the yard do?

After a few breaths, seeing that there was no reaction in the courtyard, the arrogant Fang Yong frowned.

"Listen, I'll give you another three minutes, and if you don't surrender by then, then don't blame us for being rude!"

……

Hearing this, Dapeng's face instantly turned red.

"My Grand Chief! Don't hesitate, start first! ”

Feeling his heartbeat, Zhao Shixun took a few deep breaths, and then glanced out through the crack in the door.

Seeing a rich man dressed in silk standing in the crowd, Zhao Shixun suddenly spoke:

"I heard that the patriarch of Zhou in this village used to be full of poetry and books, and he must also be a gentleman who convinces people with reason. Although a few of us live here temporarily, we have never done anything harmful to others. Now that Mr. Zhou has brought so many people to surround us, is it undignified? ”

"Fart! Who allowed you strangers to come to us? Those who know each other hurry up and mix it up with Lao Tzu, otherwise it will ....... ”

Just after Fang Yong scolded a few times, Zhou Hongwen suddenly stopped him.

Smiling and looking at the shadow behind the gate, Zhou Hongwen suddenly asked in a deep voice:

"The man inside, I want to ask, who are you? Or rather, are you the Eight Paths? ”

Listening to such a straightforward inquiry, Zhao Shixun was also stunned, and then looked at Dapeng and Qi Baoshan beside him in disbelief.

……

"I said head! Don't admit it. Believe me, as soon as we admit it, they'll rush in. ”

Looking at Dapeng, who kept giving him a look, Zhao Shixun's throat moved a few times, and his eyes kept staring at Zhou Hongwen outside the door.

After a while, Zhao Shixun shook the grenade in his hand tightly, held the door panel and shouted:

"Patriarch Zhou is right, we are indeed the Eight Roads in the mountains, I don't know what Patriarch Zhou wants to do with us?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Shixun slowly raised the box cannon with his left hand and placed it in the crack of the door.

……

Seeing the movements of Zhao Shixun's hands, Dapeng and Qi Baoshan also clenched a grenade one after another, and put the box cannon in their hands on fire.

Staring intently at each other, Cho Se-hoon waited, waiting for a sign that he would make the next decision.

……

Hearing the other party admit that he was Balu, all the courtyards outside the door gasped.

They never imagined that at this juncture of the sweep, there would be the Eighth Route Army going deep into Zhou Village. You must know that this generation is not only the stronghold of the Japanese puppet army, but also the starting point of the Japanese army's autumn sweep. These eight-way people came here at this time, aren't they looking for death? In their hearts, the most likely place for the Eighth Road at this time is only in the deep mountains and old forests in the north.

"Master, these people should be the fish that slipped through the net after the Japanese encircled and suppressed Xiaowangzhuang. Since they have admitted it themselves, what do we have to say to them? Master, just go to the side and rest, and we will promise to take them all down within half an hour! ”

Hearing this, he glanced at Fang Yong, who was eager to try, and Zhou Hongwen's face suddenly turned cold.

"Fang Yong...... When will it be your turn to call the shots in the affairs of the village this week?! ”

At this point, Fang Yong, who was about to move, immediately seemed to be poured cold water and stayed on the spot.

"Old ...... I'm ......, sir. ”

Looking at Zhou Hongwen with a frosty face, Fang Yong swallowed back the second half of the sentence in his mouth.

"Of course it's up to you......."

Looking at Fang Yong, who lowered his head, Zhou Hongwen snorted coldly, and then called a white man in his early twenties beside him to his side.

"Awen, you go and call me all the people who surrounded the courtyard. Tell all the nursing homes who eat my Zhou family's meal, without my master's order, no one is allowed to shoot a shot, otherwise the family law will deal with it! ”

"It's ......, sir!"

It didn't take long to see that the guards outside the courtyard had all put away their weapons, and Zhao Shixun finally fell to the ground a little in suspense.

In his opinion, this week's patriarch at least didn't want the situation to get out of control now.

In that case, there is still room for manoeuvre.

After a while, as Ah Wen returned to the gate with twenty guards who were responsible for surrounding the courtyard, Zhou Hongwen, who had been silent, glanced at the surrounding Hu courtyards with a calm face, and suddenly took the initiative to walk to the gate of the courtyard.

His move made the nurses who had already laid down their weapons nervous.

"Sir! Dangerous! You can't go over, sir! ”

Looking at the courtyard that was about to rush up and stop him, Zhou Hongwen's majestic gaze swept over everyone, but the steps under his feet did not mean to stop at all.

"Eighth Road Chief, I, Zhou Hongwen, don't have any malicious intent on this trip, but I really want to talk to you."

……

At this point, all the people, including Zhao Shixun, were blinded.

Many nursing homes almost couldn't believe their ears, and they subconsciously picked at them, as if they had heard it wrong.

After a long while, Dapeng's voice full of doubts sounded first.

"Talk to us? You are the president appointed by the Japanese, so why should we believe you!? ”

……

At the same time as Dapeng's voice came out, Fang Yong in the alley also hurriedly spoke:

"Master, they are the Eighth Route Army, the sworn enemies of the Japanese!"

Raising his hand to stop Fang Yong from continuing to speak, Zhou Hongwen looked at the shadow in the crack of the door and suddenly laughed.

"I'm sure you've seen it, Commander of the Eighth Road. With our strength, it seems that I, Zhou, can't afford to play ......yin with you, what do you think? ”

Hearing this, he glanced at Zhou Hongwen outside the door, and then glanced at a Czech-style guard behind him with a red ribbon tied in his hand, Zhao Shixun couldn't help but glance at this Zhou Hongwen a few times in his heart.

It is very common for ordinary landlords and gentry to raise a few nursing homes to take care of their families, after all, the world is too chaotic these days, and if the rich people don't put a few guns on their bodies, they will have to become "fat" in the eyes of others sooner or later.

However, the private armed forces raised by Zhou Hongwen have long exceeded the scope of ordinary nursing homes. Not to mention the unified uniform and unified standard weapons, he can even get light machine guns, which are scarce in the army, which Zhao Shixun can't help but be shocked.

In his opinion, this week's Hongwen's private armed forces are definitely not inferior to the other party in terms of strength compared to the Shaofu armed forces he had seen in Wenxiao Village.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shixun inserted the box cannon in his hand back into his waist, and turned to look at Dapeng and Qi Baoshan, who were waiting around him.

……

"You want to trust him?"

Seeing Zhao Shixun nodded, Dapeng looked at Qi Baoshan beside him again.

"What about you? What do you think? ”

"I ...... I don't know. ”

Hearing this, he looked at Zhao Shixun, and Dapeng's face changed and changed.

"Well...... we don't have a choice anyway. You're our head, you decide. ”

……

At this moment, Junko, who had been in charge of monitoring in the backyard, suddenly ran back with a gun.

"Company commander, the enemies behind have all withdrawn, and there is not a single one left!"

Hearing Junzi's words, Zhao Shixun's eyes flashed, and he finally inserted the safety ring in his hand back into the grenade.

……

Motioning for Qi Baoshan and Dapeng to step aside, Zhao Shixun took a deep breath and slowly opened the gate of the courtyard.

"Mr. Zhou, please come ......."

Seeing Zhao Shixun's kind smile, Zhou Hongwen turned around and shouted, calling Ah Wen over.

"All of you are waiting outside, just have Arwen go in with me. No one is allowed to set foot in this courtyard without my orders! ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Hongwen lifted the corner of his robe and walked closer to the courtyard.

……

After Ah Wen also came in, Zhao Shixun casually closed the door, and then motioned to Dapeng and Qi Baoshan to put away the weapons in their hands.

His eyes swept in front of the heavily armed Zhao Shixun and the others one by one, and Zhou Hongwen finally bowed his head slightly at Zhao Shixun, who had the calmest face.

"Zhou Hongwen, the nomura husband in the lower mountain, I don't know what the chief is called?"

Looking at the fearless rich gentleman in front of him, Zhao Shixun's answer was simple and clear.

"The contemptible surname is Zhao."

"Oh...... I vaguely heard the name of your subordinate just now, what is the company commander, it must be you?"

"Uh-huh......."

"It turned out to be Company Commander Zhao...... It's disrespectful. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Hongwen suddenly changed his words.

"Chief Zhao, this is not the place to talk, can you invite me into the house for a cup of tea?"

Looking at Zhou Hongwen, who looked harmless to humans and animals in front of him, although Zhao Shixun couldn't guess what he was going to do, he still stretched out his right hand.

"Please ...... inside."

Seeing Zhou Hongwen striding forward, Zhao Shixun glanced at the three Dapeng behind him, and signaled them to be clever and not to make any mistakes.

……

Lifting the door curtain, Zhou Hongwen was the first to approach the house.

Hearing someone enter the outhouse, Tianbao, who had been in charge of taking care of Yang Chenghu in the inner room, immediately walked out with a gun.

Seeing a soldier in an eight-way costume holding a gun at his master, Ah Wen, who followed into the house, subconsciously wanted to pull out his gun.

"Arwen! Forgot my words? ”

was shouted by Zhou Hongwen, although Ah Wen was unwilling, he still put down his right hand.

Zhao Shixun, who followed into the house, saw this scene, and immediately asked Tianbao to put away his rifle.

…… To be continued, thank you for your support!
