Spy war in the Republic of China, peak undercover

Zhang Shun looked at the letter with a complicated look in his eyes.

…………

In the dead of night, Lu Yang, like a ghost, silently crept into the water fort. Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the reeds, casting patchy shadows on the ground, adding a touch of eeriness. He hid in the shadows, observing the movements within the water fort. He wanted to find Zhang Shun's trusted associates and, without anyone noticing, eliminate them.

"I'm sorry, everyone. The country is in ruins, but instead of devoting myself to serving the people, I'm exploiting them. This is unacceptable to Heaven, and I can only enforce justice on behalf of Heaven.

I hope I can have some positive energy in my next life."

Lu Yang said to himself silently in his heart, the dagger in his hand shining with a cold light.

"Boss, look, isn't that their second-in-command in front?" Xiao Wu lowered his voice and pointed to a place not far away.

Lu Yang looked in the direction of Xiao Wu's finger, and saw four drunk figures walking towards him with their arms around each other not far ahead. Upon closer inspection, they were none other than Zhang Shun's confidants.

Those guys were so drunk that they didn't notice that danger was coming to them.

"Haha, what a joy tonight!"

"That's right, that's right. I haven't felt this good in a long time!"

"Boss, what a fool! Instead of enjoying such a beautiful day, he hides in his room reading some rubbish letter!"

"That's right, that's right. I think that guy just wants to trick the boss into working for him!"

"Hush, you kid, are you kidding me? You dare to say that to the boss? Be careful, if the boss hears you, he'll skin you alive!"

"What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? The boss is in trouble right now, how can he care about us?"

"Hahaha……"

Several people were walking and talking and laughing loudly. Their voices seemed particularly harsh in the quiet night.

Lu Yang held his breath and slowly approached the men, the dagger in his hand eagerly thirsting for revenge. Xiao Wu nervously gripped the gun, his palms full of sweat. He didn't know what the boss would do, but he knew the boss would definitely find a way.

It happened so quickly that Lu Yang's figure, like a ghost, appeared behind those people before they could react.

"Poof, poof, poof, poof."

There were four muffled thuds, and the four men fell to the ground almost at the same time. A thin blood mark appeared on their throats, and the blood instantly dyed their clothes red.

Lu Yang turned around and left without even looking at the lifeless corpses.

Xiaowu quickly followed.

…………

The next morning.

Warm sunlight shone into the room through the window. Lu Yang slowly opened his eyes, stood up and stretched, then walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside.

"Boss, you're awake." Xiaowu walked in with a basin of hot water.

"Yeah." Lu Yang nodded, "Have you dealt with what happened last night?"

"Don't worry, boss. Everything has been cleaned up and no traces will be left," said Xiaowu.

"Well, that's good." Lu Yang nodded.

"Where are Qinglan and the others?" Lu Yang asked.

"They got up a long time ago and are now having breakfast in the hall," said Xiaowu.

"Okay, let's go down too." Lu Yang said.

"Yes, boss."

…………

When Lu Yang arrived at the hall, Qinglan and Li Wenjuan were already eating breakfast in the hall.

"Wenhan, good morning!" Qinglan greeted Lu Yang with a smile when she saw him.

"Good morning!" Lu Yang greeted them with a smile, then sat down.

"Where's Xiaowu?" Lu Yang pretended to be confused to prove that he was not with Xiaowu.

Qinglan is about to give birth, and she repeatedly advises Lu Yang not to kill anymore.

Lu Yang also agreed immediately.

Qinglan really didn't care and replied casually, "He went out early in the morning, saying he was going to do something."

"Oh." Lu Yang nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Wenhan, do you have any plans for today?"

Lu Yang suddenly had an idea and decided to send several female relatives to Taohuawu first.

"Well, I plan to move to Taohuawu today."

"Really? That's great!" Qinglan and Li Wenjuan said happily. They had wanted to visit Taohuawu for a long time.

"Boss, are we going too?" Ye Wanru and Xiaowu also walked in at this time.

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Of course, if you don't want to go, Xiao Wu and I will take you there."

"What about you? Still want to leave?" Qinglan hurried over and took Lu Yang's arm.

Lu Yang quickly patted Qinglan's back of the hand and rubbed it a few times.

"I won't leave. From now on, I'll just run back and forth between the inn and Taohuawu!"

"Let's go now. I have asked someone to prepare the carriage." Lu Yang said.

"That's better." Qinglan pouted and held his waist with both hands. Wenjuan supported him on the side and secretly glanced at Lu Yang.

After Lu Yang looked at her, he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, it's almost Li Wenjuan's father, Prince Yixun's birthday. I want to go with Wenjuan to celebrate."

At this time, the business of Wanru, Xiaowu and others came in. "Okay, then we will go and pack up."

…………

An hour later.

Lu Yang took Qinglan, Li Wenjuan, Ye Wanru, Xiaowu, and a few of his men, and left Wuzhen in a carriage, heading towards Taohuawu.

Taohuawu is located in a valley outside Wuzhen. It has beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, and is a paradise on earth.

The reason why Lu Yang chose to settle down in Taohuawu was because he knew that China would be plunged into war in the next few years. He needed a safe place to protect his family and friends, and Taohuawu was an excellent choice.

…………

The carriage was moving slowly on the mountain road. Lu Yang lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside the window.

On both sides of the road, peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the pink petals were falling in the wind, like a peach blossom rain, which was beautiful beyond words.

A smile appeared on Lu Yang's lips. He believed that his choice was correct and Taohuawu would become a safe haven for him, his family and friends.

The carriage was moving slowly along the mountain road. Lu Yang opened the curtain and looked out the window. Peach blossoms were in full bloom on both sides of the road. The pink petals were falling in the wind, like a peach blossom rain. It was beautiful beyond words.

A smile appeared on Lu Yang's lips. He believed that his choice was correct and Taohuawu would become a safe haven for him, his family and friends.

At the foot of Taohuawu Mountain, only a winding path led halfway up. To make it easier for Qinglan, Lu Yang hired a sedan chair to carry her up the mountain, while the others walked. Along the way, the birdsong, the fragrance of flowers, and the gentle breeze were a refreshing relief.

"Wenhan, this place is so beautiful, even better than Wuzhen!" Qinglan sat on the sedan chair and looked around excitedly.

"Yeah, boss, this place is really great, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It's simply a natural fortress!" Xiaowu couldn't help but admire it.

"Of course, don't you see who chose this place?" Lu Yang raised his eyebrows proudly, but secretly felt glad for his original choice.

After going up the mountain, what comes into view is a patchwork of houses with blue bricks and black tiles, antique style, surrounded by green bamboo and gurgling streams, a scene of tranquility and peace.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

"This place is better than an inn!"

As soon as Qinglan, Wanru and Li Wenjuan got off the car, they were attracted by the scenery in front of them. They excitedly looked around and chose the room they liked.

Xiaowu and several of his men began to busy themselves with moving the luggage and placing the various daily necessities they brought in place one by one.

Lu Yang looked at the lively scene before him, his heart filled with joy. This would be his new home with his family and friends, a safe and warm home.

Seeing that Lu Yang was alone, Li Wenjuan called him away.

"Wenhan, come here." Li Wenjuan stood at the door of a room and waved to Lu Yang.

"What's wrong, Wenjuan?" Lu Yang walked over and asked.

"Come here, I have something to tell you." Li Wenjuan pulled Lu Yang aside and asked in a low voice, "Did you forget something?"

Lu Yang was confused. "What's going on? What did I forget?"

"Have you really forgotten?" Li Wenjuan looked at Lu Yang with a sly look in her eyes. "My father's birthday is coming soon. You wouldn't have forgotten, would you?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten. Do you think I'm that unreliable?" Lu Yang patted his chest and said confidently, "I've already prepared a gift. I guarantee your father will be satisfied!"

Li Wenjuan rolled her eyes at him. "You're so smooth-talking, you only know how to make me happy. Have you prepared the gifts?"

"Of course, I'm doing the job, are you still worried?" Lu Yang smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when the time comes."

"That's more like it. Let me tell you, my father has very high standards. If the gift is not good enough, he might be unhappy." Li Wenjuan said with a deliberately stern face.

"Don't worry, don't worry. I guarantee your dad will be grinning from ear to ear." Lu Yang said with a smile, "Just wait and see."

"Hmph, you said it. If the gift is not good, I'll show you how I'll deal with you." Li Wenjuan said coquettishly.

Lu Yang looked at Li Wenjuan's charming and lovely appearance, and his heart was filled with warmth. He gently put his arm around her shoulders and said softly, "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."
