"That's right! Brother, you think so, and so do the Japanese.”
Zhou Weiguo shrugged his shoulders. Zhu Ziming was stunned for a moment, but then he thought about it.
"Then are we going straight into the village now?”
Zhu Ziming asked.
"Enter the village? Remember what I said before I left the mountain. Don't disturb the people. I'll stay at a commoner's house tonight. Remember to pay. Let's go to the village chief's house."
After Zhou Weiguo finished speaking, he chuckled and grabbed Xu Hu.""Hu Zi, I have a mission for you. Go in and wake up a commoner. Find out where the village chief's house is.”
Xu Hu left and returned a while later.
"Boss, I've found out!"
"Let's go!" Zhou Weiguo waved his hand. Enter the village!"
·············
Zhou Weiguo brought his men into the village. As for Wei Jinwen, this old ghost from Laiyang was still at the foot of the mountain in Clear Wind Stronghold.
"Major General, we have searched the entire Clear Wind Camp and the surrounding areas, but we have not seen any bandits!”
One of the staff officers jogged to the front of the guard and shouted.
"You didn't find anything?"
Keibun frowned. He felt that this shouldn't be the case! Although they came out with great fanfare, according to their speed, the bandits of Clear Wind Camp should still be in their encirclement!
But now that they had searched for an entire night and found nothing, it was strange.
"Major General, do you want to expand the search area and use Clear Wind Camp as the core to search the surrounding areas?”
The staff officer looked at Keibun and asked. He was Keibun's staff officer and knew that Senior Captain Yamashita, who had died some time ago, was actually his beloved nephew. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent a regiment of soldiers to search the mountain just for this group of bandits.
The guard did not immediately give the order. Instead, he walked to the map and looked at it before saying,"This area is too big. We only have one regiment of soldiers, so we can't search every area.
The people of Clear Wind Camp were all bandits who gathered in the forest. They probably wouldn't hide in a densely populated place with great fanfare. They would temporarily concentrate their forces on Savage Mountain, Xiao Village, and Tiger Head Mountain to search. He only needed to do a simple search around Zhao Village. Don't waste too much manpower."
If Zhou Weiguo was here, he would definitely say," Why are you so smart?
Actually, Konebun's thinking was correct. According to the bandits 'thinking, they would definitely not go to those densely populated places to hide. Because they were bandits, the first place they wanted to hide in was those sparsely populated areas, such as the Savage Mountain, which was even more a paradise for hiding.
Unfortunately, the current Zhou Weiguo was not the Zhou Weiguo from before. Zhou Weiguo, who came from the future, knew the power of the people all too well.
Hiding among the masses was the true hiding. It was like a drop of water falling into the sea.
·······
The night had passed, and Keisei looked a little tired, but he still looked at the map in his tent. He didn't believe that these bandits could go up to the sky and down to the ground.
However, as the sky gradually brightened, telegrams were sent back to his command post.
He didn't find anything! He didn't find anything, which made the guard's expression become unnatural. He didn't believe that he didn't find anything, but he had to believe his subordinate's reply.
"Guardian, I think those bandits have either run out or are hiding in a very secret place!”
Chief of Staff Naoto Matsushita walked behind him and said softly.
"No, I can't! I don't believe they can run out like this. The two blockades we set up last night didn't have any crossfire, nor did they break out.
They must be hiding somewhere in our encirclement. Unfortunately, I don't have enough troops. If I had another regiment, I would definitely be able to find them!”
Keibun's eyes were bloodshot, and he wasn't in good spirits. He had mobilized an entire regiment's forces, but in the end, he did not get anything. How could he be in a good mood?
"Guardian, let's withdraw our troops first! It was not a good idea to continue searching like this. The search within the encirclement is almost done. I think they should have run out. There were search teams everywhere last night. Maybe they disguised themselves as our people and ran out.
Anyway, they were still in Laiyang County. He could always find them later. Moreover, we can go back to Laiyang County and issue a warrant!”
In fact, Matsushita Naomi did not really want Keibun to do this. Right now, the frontlines were in a heated battle, but they were sent here to be in charge of the stability of Laiyang County. If he wanted to be promoted and get rich, he had to go to the front line. Matsushita wanted to go to the front line too.
If the higher-ups heard that Keibun could not even take down a group of bandits, they would probably question his ability. At that time, Keibun could not be transferred to the front line, and he could not be transferred to the front line either. If he was not transferred to the front line, how could he be promoted and rich?
"No, I can't! I must find them!"
Keibun thought of his nephew and gritted his teeth.
Matsushita Naoto frowned helplessly, unable to say anything.
··········
When it was noon, Zhou Weiguo finally woke up. He raised his wrist to look at the time. It was already past noon, and his stomach was already rumbling.
She got up and opened the door. When she walked into the courtyard, she saw an old man sitting there looking at her with a worried expression.
Last night, Zhou Weiguo brought his men and barged into the village chief's house. He woke the old man up and threw him a piece of money to get him and Xu Hu to prepare a place to stay.
At that time, the village chief was so frightened that he directly knelt down. After Zhou Weiguo and Xu Hu talked for a long time, he finally understood. There was no fear in his eyes, but the worry in his eyes never lessened.
"Hero, you're awake. What would you like to eat? I'll get someone to make it for you!"
Seeing Zhou Weiguo walk into the courtyard, Village Chief Zhao immediately walked over and said with a fawning expression.
"Haha! Old man, don't worry. Don't worry! Although we are bandits, we won't do anything to you. Hu Zi, tell the brothers to remember to give a dollar to the families of the people who are staying over as living expenses. Don't freeload!”
Zhou Weiguo smiled at Village Chief Zhao and said to Xu Hu. He knew that the families of the common people in this era were not rich. Even the village chief's family was not that rich.
The landlord's family was probably the only one who was in a better situation. However, since the Japanese came, the landlord's family was probably in trouble.
"Hey, okay, I'll go right away!”
After Xu Hu left, Zhou Weiguo looked at the old man in front of him and shook his head. He helped him to the bench in the courtyard and sat down. Then, he chuckled and said,"Old man, do you think we are bandits who came to rob?”
Village Chief Zhao looked at Zhou Weiguo hesitantly and did not say anything. However, the expression in his eyes told Zhou Weiguo that he thought so.
