Under One Person: My comprehension is unmatched.

After Zhang Yan and his companion left the command post, Li Yunlong didn't linger for a moment; his eyes gleamed with greed as he went to find Political Commissar Zhao.

Seeing the look in Li Yunlong's eyes, Zhang Huaiyi immediately understood what was going on and asked.

"Brother Zhang Yan, have you brought equipment to Commander Li again?"

Zhang Yan nodded at Zhang Huaiyi, then, as if remembering something, chuckled twice.

Seeing Zhang Yan's expression, Zhang Huaiyi shuddered, knowing that someone else was about to suffer, and spoke up.

"Brother Zhang Yan, what are you thinking? Don't look at me like that."

"Huaiyi, I have a task for you?"

Zhang Yan waved his hand, gesturing for him to come closer.

Zhang Huaiyi sensed that this mission would be very dangerous, so he took a step back and spoke up.

“Brother Zhang Yan, we are both extraordinary beings. Even if you speak softly, I can still hear you. You don’t need to get so close.”

Previously, when Li Yunlong heard that he had hidden some equipment, he clung to him like a wife, refusing to let go, which scared him.

Zhang Yan sighed and said.

"Sigh, I learned some information from Old Li: the Fiery Fire Sect in the county town has secretly defected to the enemy and has gathered quite a few scattered members."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huaiyi's face darkened immediately. Since the start of the War of Resistance against Japan, he had never heard of an entire sect defecting to the enemy; this was the first such case.

"I'm going back to Longhu Mountain to tell my master about this and have all the sects send people to deal with these people."

"I knew you'd think that way."

Zhang Yan retorted upon hearing Zhang Huaiyi's statement.

"Your approach is prudent, but they have secretly defected to the enemy. The sect will not send anyone out unless there is evidence."

Zhang Huaiyi was taken aback for a moment after hearing this, and then continued to speak.

"Then I'll stake out the Fiery Gate and find evidence of their defection."

"Fine, I'll just get straight to the point. I plan to have you do something using your reputation as a top disciple of Longhu Mountain."

Zhang Yan pointed to his patched Taoist robe and continued.

"They've secretly defected to the enemy, haven't they? Let's secretly gather a group of skilled fighters and wipe them out."

"Destroy them? How? Are we supposed to storm their mountain gate?"

Zhang Huaiyi was shocked. Zhang Yan had even broken into Japanese military camps before, so he was sure he could do this too.

"No, a few days later, they gathered in a large courtyard in the east of the county town and set up some kind of Co-Prosperity Sphere with the Japanese devils."

At this point, Zhang Yan clenched his fists tightly and began to speak.

"When they are caught red-handed, they can die, and the various sects won't be able to say anything. They'll even have to praise Longhu Mountain for its righteousness."

Zhang Huaiyi looked at Zhang Yan suspiciously and spoke.

"Brother Zhang Yan, this isn't like you at all."

“In the past, you wouldn’t care about the rumors from any sect and would just go directly, and you would leave your name behind afterwards.”

"This has caused so much trouble... Are you hiding something from me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan waved his hands repeatedly and hurriedly explained.

"No way, it's just that I ran into you, so I was planning to give you a reputation for punishing evil and promoting good. Hehe, that way you'll have something to say when you go back, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huaiyi felt much better knowing that Zhang Yan was thinking of him, but he still felt uneasy seeing Zhang Yan's smiling face.

"Alright, I'll run around these next couple of days and spread the word."

A few days later, at a tea stall on the east side of the county town.

Zhang Yan sat on a bench, picked up a teacup, took a sip of bitter tea, and waited for the person to arrive.

Before long, a plump man with a well-to-do figure walked out of the city.

He was dressed in a loose long gown and wore a black top hat, looking like a businessman, but he was extremely ugly. This man was Liang Ting.

"Zhang Yan, what have you been doing these past few days? Why are you only coming to see me now?"

Liang Ting walked up to Zhang Yan, looked at the long bench, and without sitting down, spoke directly.

"Hehe, I haven't had a moment's rest these past few days. Hmm, did you have a good time at the Japanese camp the other day?"

Zhang Yan looked at Liang Ting's massive body, chuckled, and spoke.

"Damn, it took a lot of effort to deal with those mortars lying in ambush."

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup on the table, drank it down in one gulp, and said to Zhang Yan.

"These past two days, I've felt the fire in my heart burning brighter and brighter. Zhang Yan, let's have a fight today."

Zhang Yan refilled their bowls with tea and said to Liang Ting.

"Hold on for a bit, I'll let you have your fill tonight."

Liang Ting thought Zhang Yan had agreed to fight him, chuckled twice, and then said.

"Let me make this clear first, you can't do what you did last time."

Zhang Yan took a sip of bitter tea, pointed inside the city, and spoke.

"The second large courtyard next to the city gate, you know it."

"You'll wait in the shadows tonight. I'll let you out, then you can come out."

Liang Ting looked into the city and said in a puzzled tone.

“We’re fighting inside the city, and there are quite a few Japanese soldiers there.”

Then he grinned and said excitedly.

"I've never tried this before, it should be quite interesting."

Zhang Yan looked at his excited face, shook his head, and said.

"You're not fighting me, just follow my orders, and I'll make sure you have a great time."

Liang Ting nodded, picked up the teacup and took another sip, but spat the water out as soon as it entered his mouth.

"Pah, it has no taste at all."

He put down his teacup, turned and walked into the city, leaving behind a remark that left Zhang Yan both amused and exasperated.

"I'll listen to you today. If I'm still not happy, I'll take my revenge on you."

Zhang Yan watched Liang Ting's retreating figure and knew that he was already getting excited, unable to even taste the bitter tea.

Inside the county town, there was a teahouse.

Chu Yunfei and his guards took their seats, and a waiter called out and brought over the tea.

Just as Chu Yunfei was about to strike up a conversation with the waiter, he heard a hearty laugh.

"Haha, Brother Chu, it's been a long time."

Chu Yunfei looked up and saw a secret agent in a black jacket walking towards him with a henchman. The two men were Li Yunlong and Wei Dayong, also known as Wei Heshang.

Upon seeing that this man was dressed as a secret service leader, the people around him all stood up and fled the teahouse as if they were running away. The waiter also quietly retreated to the counter.

"Brother Yunlong, it's been a long time. Please have a seat."

Chu Yunfei clasped his hands in a fist salute, and after Li Yunlong sat down, he spoke again.

"Brother Yunlong, the main reason I invited you here is to catch up with you."

"I've heard that the chef at Juxianlou is quite skilled, so I've specially prepared some drinks for you. Please do me the honor of coming."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong realized that they had exchanged the code and spoke up.

"Brother Chu, this is like using someone else's flowers to present to Buddha, isn't it? Hirata Ichiro has booked the entire Juxianlou restaurant."

"Could it be that Brother Chu is reluctant to spend money?"

Chu Yunfei smiled upon hearing this and spoke.

"What's wrong, Brother Yunlong? Is there something inconvenient?"

Li Yunlong put on his small round sunglasses and laughed heartily.

"Brother Chu is treating us, we can't refuse. Besides, it's free food, so why not take advantage of it?"

"Alright, see you at Juxianlou in a bit."
