"We found the body of Ah Hong and the captain of the village. As you expected, after they encountered a strong enemy, Ah Hong broke the bird cage before her death and reported it to us."

The female guard reported to Huofeng.

Huo Feng nodded.

Seeing this, the female guard knew that the city lord didn't seem to want to say anything, but she wanted to share the worries for the city lord.

So, she continued, "My Lord, my subordinates heard something when they came back. Don't you know if this matter is serious?"

Huo Feng glanced at the female guard and thought that the other party must be talking about a traitor, then said: "Seriously, the deputy captain of the Anti-Japanese Brigade, Gao Yanan, Cuihua (Arou's pseudonym), and the wife of the captain Qi Dabing, were all injured to varying degrees.

And I heard that at least three of them were seriously injured, and I don’t know what their identities were. Captain Qi did not say that this was the result of our people inquiring from multiple sources.

And the one who caused such serious consequences was the traitors who came out of Phoenix City - Afeng and others."

Speaking of this, Huo Feng sighed heavily.

Because, although the brigade leader Qi Dabing did not investigate in depth, according to the reactions of some villagers who had been to the Anti-Japanese Brigade today, the attitude of the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Brigade towards them was very different from before.

Even the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces soldiers in the Arsenal were always alert to them. Even the recruited soldiers could no longer go home at night, and all had to stay in the Arsenal.

This is a crisis of trust and something that Huo Feng is most worried about.

So she killed more than a dozen traitors in a row to serve as a warning to you.

But Huo Feng still has no confidence in whether this can ease the current situation.

So at this time, Huo Feng seemed very melancholy.

As Huo Feng's confidant, the female guard naturally could not watch Huo Feng feel so depressed. She had to help Huo Feng come up with a practical solution.

The female guard's brain ran quickly, and suddenly a flash of inspiration was coming, and she had an idea.

The female guard quickly spoke, "I know that the captain of the Anti-Japanese Brigade is a person who loves money. The city lord might as well do something from this."

Huo Feng's eyes suddenly lit up. Because she also remembered that last time Qi Dabing looked at the golden ingots in Phoenix City, his eyes could not be removed.

Huo Feng said repeatedly: "Okay, that's it. We still have some foundation in Phoenix City, so we will take out half of it and donate it to the Anti-Japanese Brigade!"

The female guard quickly stopped him and said, "My Lord, there are too many, too many, and we still have to live our lives? That's the money left by the old city lord to save our lives in Phoenix City."

Huo Feng shook his head and said, "We are saving our lives now. If the relationship between the Anti-Japanese Brigade and us continues to deteriorate, what will our Anti-Japanese Brigade go? We have turned against the Japanese and have lost the protection of the Anti-Japanese Brigade. How long can we live in this war-torn era?"

The female guard wanted to say something, but when she saw that the city lord had made up her mind, she did not speak anymore. She just waited for the next day, Huofeng had to bring the money to donate it to the Anti-Japanese Brigade.

··············

Time flies the next day, but when Huofeng arrives at the Anti-Japanese Brigade, he finds that Dragon Boat Festival is not there.

Of course, she would never have thought that at this time of Dragon Boat Festival, she was heading to the reservation location to pick up a mysterious visitor.

So at this time, only Tang Jiujiu came to receive Huo Feng.

Tang Jiujiu didn't like Huo Feng. In her eyes, Huo Feng was a vixen and always thought about her big pig's hooves.

However, her eyes were shiny when it came to what Huo Feng brought. Huo Feng actually took out two hundred and fifty gold bars at once.

Of course, Tang Jiujiu can't ask for anything. What if Huo Feng wants to be a concubine? Then let alone 250 gold bars, even 2,500 gold bars, he can't ask for it.

So before that, she has to ask clearly.

Tang Jiujiu put a pair of wounded hands on the armrest of the chair and said domineeringly: "Lord Huofeng City, what do you mean? Do you think my anti-Japanese brigade is short of money?"

Huo Feng was helpless. She originally asked the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces soldiers to report to the Dragon Boat Festival. However, the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces soldiers did not know that the captain had left the base, so they could only report to the captain's wife.

So at this time, Huo Feng was helpless and could only bite the bullet and said, "It was all because of my negligence that the Anti-Japanese Brigade suffered such losses. I must compensate the Anti-Japanese Brigade and assure the Anti-Japanese Brigade that there will never be a second time in similar matters."

"Oh, that's the matter!"

Tang Jiujiu felt a little relieved. Anyway, as long as Huo Feng didn't want to be a concubine, she could accept it.

As for these 250 gold bars, they were nothing in her eyes. Her family had money, but she could not reveal her identity now. Otherwise, it would be just a matter of her to spend hundreds of millions to buy weapons and equipment for Dragon Boat Festival.

So Tang Jiujiu never thought about whether to collect such a large sum of money or not.

However, after following Dragon Boat Festival for a long time, she also learned some cunning. She said calmly on the surface: "Regardingly speaking, if you have such a big disclosure in Phoenix City, you almost killed all our main officers. It will definitely not be so easy to forgive you.

Do you know? Our deputy captain, Gao Yanan and Cuihua, almost died. If these three people were to die, let alone these gold bars, even if you all in Phoenix City pay their lives, it would not be enough to pay them. Do you know?"

Speaking of this, Tang Jiujiu was too excited and even slapped the table.

But she regretted it as soon as the palm fell.

Tang Jiujiu grinned in her heart in pain, but she endured the pain on the surface and waved her other hand and said, "Okay, I'll collect the things for the soldiers first. When the soldiers come back, I will naturally send someone to notify you."

At this time, Huo Feng wanted to say something else, but Tang Jiujiu stopped him and said, "Let's go slowly, don't send him off!"

Huo Feng had no choice but to take the two clan elders away.

At this time, Huo Feng and others had just left the wooden house. Tang Jiujiu immediately raised his hand that had slapped the table and blew it with his small mouth, as if he could blow away the pain.

"It's all bleeding, so it's really not easy to earn some gold bars. No wonder my dad always says that money is getting harder and harder to make."

Tang Jiujiu lamented that it is difficult to make money these days. She has bleeded and has only earned 250 gold bars.

At the same time, outside the wooden house, the old clan went to Huo Feng and said angrily: "Who was that girl just now? She spoke so carelessly, just like we couldn't survive after leaving the Anti-Japanese Brigade."
