Chapter 35
The Nine Gates Are in a Dire Situation

Dong Shu brought two core Zhang family experts, but they both lowered their heads and dared not make eye contact when they saw Zhang Bei.

Zhang Bei took a look, good heavens, they were old acquaintances.

They were the two who had tried to kill Zhang Bei before, and instead ended up hanging around outside his door.

"How do we get there?" Zhang Bei asked.

Dong Shu said: "Half the country is already occupied.

So we can only pretend to be Japanese, get on their train, and go."

Zhang Bei furrowed his brows, thinking that it was indeed the time when the Japanese were invading China.

He felt a bit helpless, he also wanted to serve the country, but he was just one person.

No matter how powerful one person was, they were no match for an army.

Moreover, he seemed to have no military talent, and besides, Xiao Ge needed him right now.

However, Zhang Bei was very happy to cause some trouble for the little devils.

As for this pretense of being Japanese, that was Dong Shu's business.

It was actually very simple, just wipe out a few Japanese, then put on their human skin masks.

In the Northeast, they were very strict with the Chinese, but their own people could basically pass through without any hindrance.

So they soon boarded the train.

Dong Shu's information was accurate, the Japanese really wanted to attack Changsha.

And our own army was also actively preparing.

Dong Shu speculated that the Japanese were after the meteorite copper, but Zhang Bei didn't agree.

However, if they could get the meteorite copper as a bonus, the Japanese would be very happy.

After getting on the train, the speed was much faster.

It would only take a few days to reach Changsha.

The Zhang family used to be an ancient family, with members spread across every place.

So when they arrived in Changsha, Dong Shu easily obtained the information they wanted.

"Zhang Bei, these are Liu Jianxun's files, do you need to take a look?"

Dong Shu handed the files to Zhang Bei and asked.

Zhang Bei hadn't expected them to have a lead so quickly.

The things these Zhang family members possessed were truly unexpected.

Unfortunately, they were no longer willing to fight for the Zhang family.

Now only Xiao Ge was shouldering all the burdens of the Zhang family.

After taking the files, Zhang Bei learned who this Lu Jianxun was.

"Do you have any information on those Japanese, and the American Godfather?

Also, do you have any clues about those rats behind the scenes? Get them all for me."

Zhang Bei thought for a moment, then told Dong Shu.

Although Dong Shu didn't know what Zhang Bei wanted to do, he went to prepare anyway.

From the files, Zhang Bei learned that this Lu Jianxun was originally just an intelligence officer in Changsha.

He used to be a subordinate of Zhang Da Fo Ye, with a low rank, but he had some background in the military.

Moreover, Zhang Da Fo Ye had turned the whole of Changsha into an iron bucket.

The military was naturally wary of forces they couldn't control and wanted to take them back.

So Lu Jianxun was given this task.

Later, something happened, and the military power of Changsha was still taken by Lu Jianxun.

Even the meteorite copper that Zhang Da Fo Ye and his people obtained in the mine outside the city was now in Lu Jianxun's hands.

According to the intelligence, Lu Jianxun wanted to hand the meteorite copper to his superiors.

In exchange for his official career.

Moreover, Lu Jianxun also knew that various forces were eyeing the meteorite copper.

Therefore, Lu Jianxun locked himself in an underground military fortress.

His personal guards were outside, and there were Changsha's garrison troops on the ground.

Anyone who wanted to snatch the meteorite copper from him was suicidal.

Unless they brought a large army to seize it.

"These are the files of other forces."

After Zhang Bei finished reading Lu Jianxun's file, Dong Shu brought the other files as well.

"How do you plan to do it?" Zhang Bei asked as he flipped through the files.

Dong Shu said: "Lu Jianxun thinks he's safe hiding underground.

So we're going to dig a tunnel straight to Lu Jianxun's hiding place."

Good! You go ahead and do it." Zhang Bei said indifferently.

Dong Shu nodded and went to make preparations, while Zhang Bei continued to look at the files.

Besides Lu Jianxun, there was also an American Godfather named Qiu De Kao.

Zhang Bei knew this guy, he would be A Ning's boss later.

The other group was a bunch of Japanese, currently hiding in a consulate in the city.

But what Zhang Bei didn't expect was that the Japanese were actually hanging out with Qiu De Kao.

It seemed that Lu Jianxun's military power made both sides somewhat wary.

"Dong Shu, take me to see where these Japanese are hiding."

After finishing reading the files, Zhang Bei said to Dong Shu.

Dong Shu furrowed his brows, wondering what Zhang Bei wanted to do.

It was not wise to provoke the Japanese at this time.

Otherwise, with the Chinese people's hatred for the Japanese, the Japanese hiding in Changsha City would have died long ago.

"Do you want to attack the Japanese?" Dong Shu asked.

Zhang Bei said: "What, can't we? Are they your ancestors?"

"Of course not, but once you attack the Japanese, they'll have an excuse to attack.

The whole of Changsha will be engulfed in war."

Dong Shu still wanted to persuade Zhang Bei.

"Hehe! We've come all the way from the Northeast, don't tell me you can't see the Japanese's intentions?"

Zhang Bei said to Dong Shu with a hint of disdain.

Dong Shu furrowed his brows, although their journey had been smooth.

They could also see that the Japanese were about to make a big move, and they were sending a large number of troops towards Changsha.

It was obvious that the Japanese were going to make a move.

Whether they had an excuse to attack or not, these Japanese probably wouldn't care.

"Do you have a military deployment map of the Japanese?" Zhang Bei asked again.

Dong Shu shook his head: "No."

"Find a way to get it."

Dong Shu opened his mouth, he was an elder of the Zhang family, when had he ever been ordered around by a junior?

If he hadn't been afraid of Zhang Bei's strength, he would have given him a couple of slaps to see if they made a sound.

"This might be a bit difficult," Dong Shu said.

Zhang Bei said: "If it wasn't difficult, would I tell you?"

Dong Shu's mouth twitched, he could only agree, then went out to make arrangements.

The two core Zhang family experts he brought went to prepare for the tunnel.

As for the Japanese side, Dong Shu instructed others to handle it.

Their most important task now was to get the meteorite copper back.

"Come on, take me to where the Japanese are hiding." Zhang Bei said.

Dong Shu had no choice but to lead Zhang Bei along the streets of Changsha.

Although the Japanese were about to attack Changsha, it seemed that the people of Changsha didn't know.

So the streets and alleys of Changsha were still very lively.

Along the way, they encountered countless vendors, Zhang Bei couldn't help but take a few more glances at this lively scene.

"We need to hurry."

Zhang Bei asked in confusion, "Why?"

"The Zhang family is a mysterious family, but they appear in the world from time to time.

If someone recognizes us, it will be a bit of a hassle."

Dong Shu explained to Zhang Bei.

As soon as Zhang Bei heard this, he looked around and immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Who was that beautiful woman who just left in a hurry?" Zhang Bei asked.

As soon as Dong Shu reminded him, he saw a beautiful woman looking at them with a terrified expression, then she left in a hurry.

"It's Huo San Niang, the head of the Nine Gates. This Huo San Niang is in cahoots with Lu Jianxun."

Zhang Bei suddenly understood, no wonder Dong Shu wanted him to hurry.

He was afraid that Huo San Niang would tip off Lu Jianxun.

"Send someone to tell them, some things can be done, but there's a price to pay for doing certain things."

Zhang Bei said to Dong Shu, not caring at all.

Dong Shu's mouth twitched, they were here secretly to carry out a mission.

The most important thing was the meteorite copper, not anything else, it was best not to cause any trouble.

But Zhang Bei didn't care, he was almost about to pull up a banner and tell everyone.

But Dong Shu was afraid of being beaten by Zhang Bei, so he could only send someone to warn Huo San Niang.

"Don't worry, as long as you're strong enough, you'll be like me and not care about other things."

Zhang Bei could see Dong Shu's worries and said.

Dong Shu was helpless, what could he say? Who told him he wasn't as strong as Zhang Bei?
