In a spacious room, a banquet had already been set out on an octagonal table.

The dishes on the table included fish, meat, chicken, and duck. Under the conditions of the anti-Japanese war behind enemy lines during this period, it was definitely a top-class feast.

Long Fei swaggered over to the table and sat down in the guest of honor seat to the right of the host's seat, which faced the door.

Hua Wen and Hua Wu stood tall and proud behind Long Fei.

Commander Yan and Chu Yunfei sat down in the host's seat and the left seat, respectively.

Long Fei couldn't help but tease Chu Yunfei again.

"Commander Chu, oh no, I should call you Brigade Commander Chu or Division Commander Chu now. To be appreciated by Commander Yan, and to be the only one in the Jin-Sui Army to accompany you today, you have a bright future ahead of you."

Chu Yunfei didn't respond to Long Fei's words, but sat there silently with a slight smile on his face.

Commander Yan picked up a bottle of Fenjiu liquor and said with a smile.

"Long Legion, now that you've come to Shanxi, let's drink this Fenjiu today."

Long Fei had some knowledge of wine, and he looked at Commander Yan and spoke slowly.

"Commander Yan is right. When you come to Shanxi, you must drink Fenjiu. This liquor has a brewing history of four thousand years and is known as a living fossil of Chinese liquor."

"I've had it before. This wine is smooth and sweet on the palate, with a long aftertaste. You can taste the long history and profound culture of Shanxi in this wine."

Long Fei's evaluation was brief but very accurate and insightful, and he also praised Fenjiu highly.

"Hehe, it seems that Commander Long is a connoisseur of wine. Here, let me fill your glass."

Seeing that Commander Yan was about to pour wine for Long Fei, Chu Yunfei hurriedly reached out to take the bottle.

"Commander Yan, I'll take care of this small matter of pouring the wine."

Commander Yan was not willing to pour wine for Long Fei in the first place, after all, he was the commander of the Second War Zone.

If you were to condescend to pour wine for Long Fei, you would not only lose face, but you would also be inferior in terms of presence.

Now Chu Yunfei had cleverly relieved Commander Yan's predicament, and he nodded approvingly.

Chu Yunfei then poured a full glass of wine for Long Fei first, then for Commander Yan, and finally for himself.

At this moment, Commander Yan raised his glass and said, "As the host, I will raise the first glass to welcome Commander Long."

Long Fei smiled and raised his glass, saying, "Thank you for your warm hospitality, Commander Yan."

The three of them immediately tilted their heads back and killed him.

Chu Yunfei quickly refilled everyone's glasses.

"This second toast is to congratulate Commander Long on leading his troops to an unprecedented victory, annihilating 300,000 Japanese soldiers in one battle."

"Hehe, this is nothing. The Japanese are just ugly and deformed. Killing them is as easy as chopping melons and cutting vegetables."

Long Fei didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, but Commander Yan and Chu Yunfei were both secretly astonished.

That's too arrogant! Judging from Long Fei's tone, he could wipe out all the Japanese invaders in China very quickly.

Commander Yan chuckled dryly and raised his cup for the third time.

"This third glass of wine is on behalf of the Second World War Zone to thank Commander Long for helping us to recover Taiyuan and the Jin-Dong region."

Commander Yan's words clearly set a trap. If Long Fei drank this cup of wine, he would undoubtedly admit that he was helping the Second War Zone fight the Japanese.

These liberated areas should rightfully be returned to the World War II zone.

Long Fei was not going to fall for it. He held the wine glass in his hand but didn't raise it, while muttering something to himself.

"Commander Yan, I don't quite understand what you're saying. We're not fighting the Japanese for your Second War Zone, nor are we going to liberate these places for your Second War Zone."

"As a member of the Chinese nation, it is everyone's responsibility to defend our country and kill the Japanese invaders."

Long Fei's answer made Commander Yan's face darken.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfei quickly chimed in, "Commander Long is right, and it's very inspiring."

"However, the National Government is currently the only legitimate government of China, and all compatriots must fight the war of resistance under its leadership."

"Therefore, what Commander Yan just said is absolutely correct. No matter what kind of army liberated the occupied areas, the National Government should express its gratitude, and you should return these liberated areas to the National Government."

Long Fei glanced at Chu Yunfei and thought to himself, "You're still very good with words; you're quite eloquent."

Long Fei didn't answer, but instead picked up a chicken leg and started taking big bites.

Commander Yan and Chu Yunfei exchanged a glance, then silently looked at Long Fei.

Long Fei devoured the chicken leg in a few bites, then threw the chicken bone on the table and smacked his lips as he spoke.

"Commander Yan, your cooking skills are not bad, this chicken leg is delicious."

"I suppose you all prefer meat and wouldn't want to gnaw on bones, would you?"

Unable to decipher the meaning behind Long Fei's words, the two remained silent, not knowing how to respond.

Long Fei then lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and slowly said.

“Our Dragon Flame Legion wiped out 300,000 Japanese devils in Shanxi and took down this tough nut. Now that it’s our turn to eat the meat, you’re jumping out to snatch it.”

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. I only want to eat meat, not gnaw on bones."

Long Fei's words made Commander Yan and Chu Yunfei look embarrassed.

Commander Yan thought for a moment and prepared to launch an attack, forcefully coercing the enemy.

After all, Long Fei only brought two subordinates with him, while Commander Yan had arranged a whole platoon for the inner room.

He began by questioning, "Commander Dragon Legion, let's put this matter aside for now."

"I want to ask you why your troops have been launching attacks in all directions recently, not only against my Jin-Sui Army, but also against local troops in Sichuan and Shaanxi and the Eighth Route Army."

"Aren't you the troops that fight the Japanese? Why are you indiscriminately attacking both friend and foe, even the Nationalist army?"

Upon hearing this, Long Fei thought to himself, "As expected, they're going to use this as an excuse."

"Commander Yan, how come I didn't know about this situation? My troops are all stationed and training in various places, how could they possibly launch an attack on you?"

When Chu Yunfei saw that Long Fei denied it outright, he immediately made a righteous and accusatory statement.

"Commander Long, our Commander Yan would never fabricate anything out of thin air, much less falsely accuse you."

"We hope you will immediately cease your provocative actions, issue a public apology to the Second World War Zone, and compensate us for all our losses."

"Furthermore, your unit must immediately hand over Taiyuan and the liberated areas to my Second War Zone troops, otherwise your Dragon Flame Legion will be treated as a traitor."

Seeing Chu Yunfei's exaggerated performance, Long Fei burst into laughter.

"It seems that Commander Yan did not genuinely invite me to dinner, nor did he invite me to discuss matters related to the war of resistance."

Commander Yan tacitly agreed: "Commander Long, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer today, then stay here and think about it slowly. I have enough patience to wait."

"Commander Yan, are you trying to detain me? Or are you setting up a trap to kill me?"

"So what if it is? Who told you to be so stupid as to walk right into their trap?"

Seeing that his pretense had been exposed, Commander Yan decided not to continue pretending. After speaking, he picked up his wine glass and smashed it hard on the ground.

After Commander Yan gave the signal, the inner door was opened with a "bang".

More than 30 guards who had been hiding inside rushed out in a flash, carrying Type 17 assault rifles made in Shanxi.

Then they formed a circle around the eight-immortal table.

Long Fei showed no fear, and after scanning the area with his eyes, he gave a playful look.

"Commander Yan, are you going to tear off the mask and resort to violence?"

Commander Yan, with an air of complete control, said, "Commander Long, at this point, is there any need to ask?"
