Li Jingtian looked at everyone and said," I thought I heard the sound of cannon fire this morning, but I've never heard of our team in this generation. Do you know?"”
Everyone looked at each other and then shook their heads.
"Teacher Wang, weren't we just discussing finding a team to fight the Japanese? I think this is an opportunity. Let's send someone out to find out who defeated the Japanese. This morning, I heard the sound of cannons. It seemed to be from the southwest.”
"Southwest? That was the direction of the Coiling Immortal Valley. Could it be the Li family of Stone Pond Village?”
Wang Weimin said.
"The Li family of Stone Pond Village?"
"It's Li Xueer's house that you saved!”
Wang Weimin was afraid that Li Jingtian didn't know, so he reminded him.
He did not know that for some reason, Li Jingtian had always been sensitive to the words Stone Pond Village.
"Regardless of whether it's true or not, we'll send someone to inquire about it first. Then who should we send?"
"I think we should let Brother Qi Laoshan bring Gou 'zi. Brother Old Mountain was steady and Gou 'zi was smart. Besides, the two of them, one old and one young, would not attract the attention of the Japanese.”
"Alright, it's settled then. The two of you must find out clearly and try to go and return as soon as possible.”
"Alright, it's getting late today. We'll leave at dawn tomorrow. We'll probably be back by night.”
Qi Laoshan said.
After making the necessary arrangements, Li Jingtian said,""Mr. Wang, I've already thought of a plan. Let's discuss it and see if it works.”
The few of them gathered together and whispered for a while before everyone dispersed to prepare for their own matters.
Ever since the Hou father and son had received Li Jingtian's letter, they had been extremely cautious. Hou Tiankui had also transferred a platoon of soldiers from the security regiment to strengthen the security of the Hou family compound.
It was already dinnertime. Hou Rengui and his son sat at the dining table without any appetite.
"Dad, how's the preparation of the hundred thousand yuan coming along?”
"Sigh! There's no need to prepare this. Our family's vault is enough. But my heart aches! I've accumulated this bit by bit! But I didn't expect that the so-called master archer would ask for 100,000 yuan. Isn't this asking for my life?”
"Father, I know your heart aches, but do you think I'm willing to give it to him? This Great Archer is in the dark, and we are in the light. We can't guard against him. With his ability, it would be easy for him to take our lives. Let's just treat it as spending money to buy peace.”
"Yes, your father understands this logic. When Sun Shounian was here, he had extorted money from our family. After that, I quickly spent money to get you the position of the head of the security team. Isn't this all for the sake of our family's dozens of businesses in Yuling? But who would have thought that such a godly archer would pop out now. He didn't play by the rules and opened his mouth to ask for 100,000 yuan. Sigh! In my opinion, our family's days in the future will probably not be easy!”
"Dad, don't worry. I won't let that Great Archer take our 100,000 yuan for nothing. In the future, I will definitely find a way to find out who he is. I will definitely kill him!”
"Also, I heard that Watanabe Junichi is also a greedy guy. This matter must be kept a secret. If he finds out, I'm afraid our family's future will really be difficult!”
"I know that. This is also the reason why I didn't want to look for the Japanese. Watanabe brought his men to Shitang Village today, but they were beaten back by Li Qianshan and suffered heavy casualties.”
"Why would he go there for no reason? Does he really not know how powerful Li Qianshan is?”
"Hai, it's all for the treasure. It's all Lai San's idea.”
"I think the Japanese won't give up and will definitely go again.”
"Yes, they are like blood-sucking demons. Wherever they go, they will plunder all the resources that can be used, whether it is money or food. "If they find out, it won't be a matter of 100,000 yuan. If it's not done well, we might really go bankrupt. Father, I think we should transfer some of our assets to the old house in the countryside. It's much safer there than under Watanabe's nose.”
"Yes, after this matter is over, I'll do as you say.”
In this year where everyone was in danger, the Hou father and son also felt their own danger.
Li Jingtian returned to the inn and ate a simple meal before heading upstairs to the guest room. He sat quietly on the chair and took out a small white cloth package from his pocket.
Li Jingtian slowly opened the package. It was not a piece of cloth, but half of a white sleeve. The words "Li Jingtian" written in blood had already become a little blurry. Half of his sleeve was wrapped in a silver lock. This was the only thing his mother had left him, and he had always carried it with him.
Today, he heard the words Stone Pond Village again. These three words had been deeply imprinted in his mind before he was ten years old.
To others, Stone Pond Village might represent a treasure, but to Li Jingtian, these three words represented nothing but hatred.
When his great-grandmother was alive, she often mentioned Shitang Village and told him about his mother's short and tragic life.
Li Jingtian did not know who his father was. He had asked his great-grandmother, but she did not know either. However, Li Jingtian knew who Li Qianshan was. He was his lifelong enemy! He was the one who forced his mother to die!
"Li Qianshan!"
Li Jingtian's expression turned ugly at the thought of this. He muttered Li Qianshan's name and punched the table hard.
At this moment, the waiter came in to deliver some water. He was shocked when he saw Li Jingtian's expression.
"Sir, are you alright?"
The waiter asked.
"I'm fine. Didn't I tell you not to disturb me if there's nothing else?”
"Sir, I…"
"Alright, you can go out. I'm going to sleep.”
Seeing Li Jingtian's cold expression, the waiter was so frightened that he did not dare to say anything and quietly left.
After a while, Li Jingtian saw that it was completely dark outside. There were no pedestrians on the street except for the patrolling soldiers of the Japanese. Ever since he attacked the Japanese patrol that day, the Japanese had become frightened birds. They only came out to patrol in the first half of the night. By the second half of the night, they all hid in the military camp.
These few days, Li Jingtian had only been busy with the 100,000 yuan. He did not plan to attack the Japanese again.
After the Japanese patrol had passed, Li Jingtian, who was dressed in a tight suit and had a black scarf on his face, quietly jumped out of the window of the hotel and ran towards the Hou family.
