Early the next morning, Watanabe Junichi was sitting in the office of the Japanese Army's headquarters in Yuling. He held the arrow with the word " shocking " in his hand and looked at it repeatedly. The tragic scene in the forest was still shocking every nerve of his.
Suddenly, the scene in the woods came alive in Watanabe's mind. He saw his soldiers 'bodies instantly fall apart after being shot by the arrows, and blood and flesh flew everywhere!
"Magic Arrow! This is a magic arrow!"
Watanabe shouted and threw the arrow far away.
"Lieutenant, what's wrong?"
The soldier standing guard outside the door heard Watanabe's shout and rushed in to ask.
"Quick, that's a magic arrow, throw it away!”
A soldier walked over to pick up the arrow on the ground and looked at it. He then turned to look at Watanabe, who was on the verge of going crazy, and walked out with the arrow in his hand.
After a while, Watanabe woke up from his state of mind.
Watanabe sat on the chair and shouted,"Men, go and get that Lai San!”
Someone outside responded and quickly went to call Lai San.
Half an hour later, Watanabe had completely calmed down. At this moment, someone outside shouted,"Report."”
When Watanabe heard this, he knew that Lai San had come. He quickly tidied up his military uniform. He didn't want to be laughed at by a traitor. After checking it carefully, he said,"Come in."
As soon as Lai San came in, he bowed to Watanabe and said,"Hello, Matriarch Watanabe. What can I do for you?”
Watanabe looked at Lai San, who was bowing and scraping in front of him, and felt a little disdainful. Therefore, he pursed his lips and put on a very arrogant attitude as he said,"I came here to ask you what happened yesterday. You're the only witness, but you have to answer truthfully, or else…Hmph!”
"Glang"
Watanabe said as he slammed the military knife in his hand on the table.
Lai San was so scared that his whole body trembled. He said,"Yes, yes. I'll definitely answer truthfully."
Lai San blinked his dead fish eyes and said,"Yesterday afternoon, I went out for lunch with Kujyo Matriarch and two other Matriarchs. When we came out of the restaurant after dinner, we saw a young lady shopping. When Kujyo saw their beautiful faces, she couldn't help but feel as if…Unexpectedly, just as Kujyo and the others started to attack, a person appeared out of nowhere and shot all three of them to death. That's what happened."
Lai San tried his best to clean himself up to avoid getting into trouble.
"How old is that person? What does he look like?”
" Reporting to Taijun, I was too scared at that time, so I didn't dare to look at it at all…"
"Eight squares! Useless thing."
When Watanabe heard this, he stood up and slapped the table. He reached out and picked up the saber on the table.
Lai San was so scared that his knees went soft. He fell to the ground and shouted for mercy.
"Taijun, spare me! Although I don't know who the murderer is, I know where those two girls are from.”
At this moment, Lai San was scared out of his wits. In order to save his life, he wouldn't hesitate even if you asked him to betray his mother.
"Oh, then where do you think that woman is from?”
Watanabe sat back down and asked.
"One of the two girls said that she was the granddaughter of Li Qianshan, the chief of the Li Clan in Shitang Village.”
"Stone Pond Village?"
When Watanabe heard the words Stone Pond Village, he immediately fell into deep thought.
Actually, Watanabe Junichi had two main tasks for capturing Yuling. First, they had to consolidate and strengthen the defenses of Yuling County, using Yuling as a transit point for their attack on the southwest. Secondly, it was related to Shitang Village. However, the military didn't tell him what the mission was. They only told him to be prepared and cooperate with the expert.
Now that Lai San mentioned Shitang Village, Watanabe couldn't help but feel curious.
"Lai San, is there anything special about Stone Pond Village?”
Lai San saw that Watanabe's expression had eased up, so he quickly bowed and said,"Taijun, haven't you heard that there are treasures in Stone Pond Village? It was said that the treasures hidden there were as rich as a country!”
"What is it? Treasure? You're not talking nonsense, right?"
"Taijun, how would I dare to lie to you? Although this was a huge secret, everyone in Yuling knew about it, and it was not a secret at all.”
"Then what kind of treasure is this? What treasures are there inside?"
"Who knows? I heard that in the past hundreds of years, countless people have wanted to explore the treasure, but none of them came back alive! Li Qianshan's son, Li Wanhe, told me this personally.”
"Oh, you know Li Qianshan's son? How did you meet him?"
"Hey, Taijun, you might not know this, but Li Qianshan's son, Li Wanhe, is a standard prodigal. He gambles like his life and gives me a lot of money. There was once when we were drinking together. He drank too much, so I took the opportunity to get information from him. Who knew that his father saw that he was useless and did not let him know some important things. He only said that the traps inside the treasure were very powerful. Anyone who had designs on this treasure would not be able to escape death.”
Lai San told Watanabe everything he knew.
Watanabe Junichi was a man who valued money as much as his life. After hearing Lai San's words, how could he not be tempted?
(What f * cking Emperor, what sh * t Bushido, in front of money, they are all sh * t!）
At this moment, Watanabe Junichi was thinking about how to get his hands on the treasure before the higher-ups came.
"Lai San, have you been to Stone Pond Village?”
After making up his mind, Watanabe began to probe Lai San.
"Reporting to Taijun, I really went there once. However, Stone Pond Village was heavily guarded. Outsiders were not allowed to walk around freely. Moreover, Shitang Village was located in a mountain valley surrounded by cliffs. The only way to enter and exit was through a narrow valley. Although it was called a valley, it was actually a stone crack that split open from the mountain. The people there called it the One-Line-Sky, and the terrain was extremely dangerous.
”
"Oh, really? Then we must go and take a look some other day.”
When Watanabe heard Lai San's words, his heart that had just been boiling felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on his head. His heart instantly turned cold.
"Report."
At this moment, a shout came from outside the door.
"Come in."
A radio operator came in. He stood at attention and said,"Lieutenant, the military is calling. Five days later, a few geologists will be coming to Yuling, and we are ordered to welcome them and protect their safety.”
After saying that, he handed a telegram to Watanabe Junichi. Watanabe took the telegram and read it. His heart, which had been half-frozen just now, became even colder…
