Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

what?

Meng Zhanqiang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Li Yuan-sang, you are incredibly attentive! I admire you! But I have a good idea that will allow you to enjoy the wine and the beautiful girls without alerting the Tubalu!"

He decided to send someone, holding his handwritten letter, to deliver it to the Independent Regiment on horseback, saying that Su Fei was out for a stroll and was kidnapped by the Baijia Town militia scouts hiding nearby!

This can explain Su Fei's long absence, and can also use hostages to put pressure on the independent regiment. Everything is reasonable.

Immediately, Meng Zhanqiang called someone over, quickly wrote dozens of words, asked Su Fei to read it, sealed it, and sent it off.

Now, Meng Zhanqiang completely trusts Su Fei.

"Mr. Li Yuan, I...what? Okay, Mr. Li Yuan, my wife has something to do, I'll be back soon!" He noticed that the housekeeper was winking at him and left immediately. Before leaving, he bowed to Su Fei repeatedly and coughed sternly at the two so-called twin daughters as a warning.

After he left, only Su Fei and two cheongsam girls were left in the exquisitely decorated room.

"Sir, please have some wine and some food!" The two girls poured wine and served food attentively, trembling with fear and their voices changed.

Although Su Fei secretly admired their sweet looks and first-class figures, he was absolutely not moved at all.

This is the home of a traitor, this is the enemy's lair, these are the eyes and spies monitoring us.

Everyone loves beauty, but if you are still confused at this time, you are a fool.

"Are you Meng Sang's daughters? Baka, you liar, are you his maids? Or his concubines? Speak!" Su Fei wanted to drive them away and deliberately slammed the table fiercely.

The two girls were terrified and fell to their knees, crying, "Madam, we are indeed the mayor's concubines. But now, the mayor has dedicated us to you. Please use us as you please. The mayor said that we must serve you today, otherwise he will send us to the county town to be used by many imperial soldiers!"

Hateful, shameful, and hateful!

Meng Zhanqiang, you bastard, you really like to give our Chinese women to the devils in exchange for your fame and fortune!

Su Fei was just feeling angry when a woman rushed in and swung a whip with her hand. The whip exploded in the air with such a crisp sound that several wine cups fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

"Li Yuan, you bastard, you actually want me to serve you? Are you blind or is your brain full of shit? I'll whip you to death."

It was the seventh concubine whom I met on the road.

But now she has changed her clothes, styled her hair, and has almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks, looking particularly young and heroic.

She walked up and grabbed Su Fei's collar.

Su Fei frowned: "Grandma Bai Qi, who made up a lie to deceive you? I don't like beautiful women. These two are younger than you, but I don't want them because I already have a wife and children at home!"

The Seventh Concubine was stunned. "Then why did the housekeeper rush me here? He said this was the result of a discussion between Meng Zhanqiang and you?"

Su Fei understood!

He shook his head vigorously and shouted angrily outside, "This is too much! Is anyone outside? Go call your Mayor Meng right now!"

A militia soldier came over and said, "The mayor has gone to reorganize the troops and won't be back for a while!"

Su Fei walked outside and dispersed several militiamen who were on duty: "Baga, get out of here! Don't eavesdrop on what I'm doing!"

A few soldiers understood what he meant and ran away with a wicked smile.

The seventh concubine became alert and kept backing away.

Su Fei hushed her and asked her to sit at the Eight Immortals Table, where she would feel safe. "I don't understand why your Mayor Meng would give away three of you beautiful women. Don't worry, I'm from the Imperial Army, but I don't like bullying women! We're all friends, and I'm very curious!"

The seventh concubine let out a long sigh and then angrily told the truth.

It turned out that half a year ago, when Meng Zhanqiang's mother was still alive, the old lady was very strict. Meng Zhanqiang had one wife and two concubines, so he didn't dare to go too far. After his mother died, he went around robbing beautiful women, from the age of twelve to fifty, and robbed more than thirty of them. Three months ago, during a robbery, the women fought back and were caught. He was so frustrated that he couldn't do evil anymore. So, he sent his two concubines to the commander of the Imperial Army Cavalry Battalion in Wanjia Town. The two became sworn brothers and became battalion commanders of the security militia recognized by the Imperial Army. He sent two more concubines to the big bandit Xie Baoqing, and they became sworn brothers. He sent one to Captain Kobayashi, the commander of the Japanese garrison in the county, and was secretly promised a position as a platoon leader in the Imperial Army. As for the thirty or so concubines left at home, they were either beaten or scolded.

By the way, the person who arrested him was a family member of the Eighth Route Army, so he killed the entire family of five.

During the lecture, the two women in cheongsams began to sob softly.

Su Fei was worried that they were baits used by Meng Zhanqiang to test him, so she didn't dare to believe them easily.

Why didn't Meng Zhanqiang, this old fox, send troops immediately but waited until night?

Is there a conspiracy?

"I can't interfere in Mayor Meng's family affairs, and I won't harm you! The real imperial army is strictly disciplined! Madam, please drink!"

Su Fei picked up the wine glass and toasted the Seventh Concubine respectfully.

The seventh concubine stared at Su Fei blankly for a long time, then suddenly walked out of the room, looked around, closed the door, and locked it with her backhand.

"Taijun, no, I think you're an Eighth Route Army soldier. The Japanese don't have such good character! Well, no matter who you are, I beg you to help me kill Meng Zhanqiang. I will be the mayor of Baijia Town and the head of the militia. In that case, I and all of Meng Zhanqiang's wives, concubines, and daughters will be at your disposal!"

Su Fei was shocked. "Meng Zhanqiang wasn't really that bad to you, was he? Do you really need to kill him?"

The Seventh Concubine took out a pistol and pointed it at Su Fei: "He sent someone to secretly strangle my brother from my mother's side and snatched my sister-in-law away. Does that count as hatred? His father forced me to marry him to bring good luck, causing me to become a widow at a young age. Does that count as hatred? The Meng family's deep mansion was taken from our ancestors by trickery and robbery. Does that count as hatred?"

So that's why. No wonder the town where Meng Zhanqiang ruled as king was called Baijia Town, and the name of the seventh concubine's grandmother, Grandma Bai Qi, was so famous.

But, it’s just one side of the story!

But how can we not take a gamble?

Su Fei quickly changed his mind.

From the moment I entered the village, I saw the expressions of the people around who came out to greet me. They were all angry but dared not say anything towards Meng Zhanqiang!

Meng Zhanqiang committed many evil deeds, and the Bai family and others became disloyal.

You can perform decapitation operations!

Compared with the method of luring the enemy into an ambush, the cost is much lower!

"Miss Hua, I deeply sympathize with your kindness and suffering, and I accept them all. So, I will meet with Meng Zhanqiang and force him to give up his position, and you will be the mayor!" Su Fei made the promise very cautiously.

Suddenly, bang, bang, bang, outside the yard and on the street, there was a chaotic burst of fire from pistols, old-style rifles, Zhongzheng rifles, and 38 large-cap rifles.
