Chapter 86 Wang Yan's Three Great Gifts

Seeing that Shangguan Yun treated him with sincerity, Wang Wei no longer held back and asked, "Brother Shangguan, do you know where I come from...?"

"I don't know... Brother Wang Wei, please be frank... Hehe..." Shangguan Yun said calmly.

"Hehe... To be honest, my brother Wang Yan and I are currently serving in the puppet army brigade at Wulongkou. Due to various reasons, we have no choice but to temporarily submit to the bandits... It's really hard to say..."

"Oh? Hehe... What's so embarrassing about that?"

Shangguan Yun frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "In this world, those who know how to adapt to the times are heroes. In times of chaos, it is already commendable to be able to protect oneself... Hehe..."

"Ah?... Brother Shangguan, please don't misunderstand. My brother is not a traitor. He truly has unspeakable difficulties. Please forgive him, Brother Shangguan..." Wang Wei said anxiously upon seeing this.

"Hehe, take your time..." Shangguan Yun said calmly.

He had heard before that there was a second-in-command named Wang Wei at Camel Peak, but the name was too common, so he didn't think much of it at the time. Today, however, he confirmed that it was indeed him.

Shangguan Yun guessed what was going on, and Wang Wei continued.

"Here's what happened. Three months ago, we all encountered a storm and ended up here. By chance, my brother and I ended up in Wulongkou. My elder brother is a man of great courage and refused to associate with thieves."

When we were at our wits' end, we came across the Zou family of Wulongkou recruiting servants, so we entered the Zou family. The eldest brother was both talented in literature and martial arts, and was favored by the old master of Zou. He even happened to save Miss Zou's life from the mountain bandits.

Subsequently, my elder brother was promoted to deputy captain of the Zou family's security team, and he was quite prestigious. Because of Miss Zou, the two fell in love and got engaged.

After the Japanese occupied Wulongkou, they wanted to find a reliable person to manage the Locust Army. The Zou family recommended my elder brother, Wang Yan. Because of the Zou family's trust and the young lady's kindness, my brother had no choice but to feign compliance with the Japanese while waiting for an opportunity...

"Yes, yes..." Shangguan Yun nodded slightly upon hearing this. "To repay kindness is the greatest virtue..."

“That’s right…” Wang Wei continued.

"We did not meet at the previous Double Ninth Festival banquet at the Dragon King Temple. After the battle, we heard that Brother Shangguan had joined Song Family Village. We were overjoyed and inquired many times before we learned the details."

So they wanted to join forces with Brother Shangguan to drive out the Japanese, but unfortunately the Japanese were too powerful and they could not fight them by force. If they acted rashly and failed, the Zou family of Wulongkou would be in danger.

We are all familiar with history and know what the timing is. My elder brother originally planned to wait a few years until the Japanese were weak before starting a new uprising.

Seeing how well Brother Shangguan was doing in Songjia Village, we brothers couldn't just sit and wait. That's why the Japanese army's operations were repeatedly thwarted in the previous Battle of Wulong Ridge. A large part of the reason was our interference, which greatly reduced the fighting strength of the puppet army...

"Hmm?...The messenger who delivered the message to Daheishan, was it someone you sent...?"

“That’s right. Otherwise, how could Daheishan, who had been trapped for many days, suddenly receive intelligence? Moreover, at that time, we two speculated that only Daheishan had the ability to support you. Furthermore, we received information that Xu Wengang was in Daheishan.”

It can be said that both the "luring the tiger away from the mountain" and "drawing the firewood from under the cauldron" battles were within my elder brother's calculations. His purpose was to disperse the Japanese troops and catch them off guard, driving them out of Wulongkou.

Since we brothers wanted to come and seek refuge with Brother Shangguan, we should at least bring some gifts, right? Unexpectedly, the Japanese devils were not destined to die, and their fighting strength was remarkable. Moreover, there were reinforcements nearby. For the sake of his fiancée in Wulongkou, Brother Shangguan had no choice but to return to Wulongkou to continue dealing with the Japanese devils and wait for an opportunity to act...

"So, I guess I was overthinking it. I wonder what your elder brother Wang Yan thinks. He must have some clever plan, hehe..."

Shangguan Yun acknowledged Wang Yan's wisdom and strategy. Back in school, when they discussed military strategies, he could see that Wang Yan's intelligence was extraordinary. Shangguan Yun often lamented that Wang Yan was born at the wrong time, otherwise he would surely have been a commander of the caliber of Wei Qing or Han Xin.

"Indeed, we have some ideas. The puppet army that our elder brother worked so hard to build up last time was almost completely wiped out. However, this time we have recruited many new people to fill the previous vacancies and developed confidants and cultivated strength among them. When I came here, my elder brother told me to give Brother Shangguan three gifts. Brother Shangguan must accept them, otherwise even if he comes to join us, he will not feel at ease..."

"Oh? Heh heh... Wang Yan is still the same as always. Oh well, let's hear what kind of grand gift it is. What he gives me must be something extraordinary..."

Wang Wei chuckled and said, "Brother Shangguan is joking. My brother is stubborn and thin-skinned, but he has always admired Brother Shangguan. The first of these three gifts is a team of no less than 300 people."

I think Brother Shangguan can think of this. After this winter, the Japanese will definitely send troops here to suppress the bandits. When my puppet army suddenly turns against us on the battlefield, the Japanese will never expect that. I believe that it will have an unexpected effect...

“Hmm…” Shangguan Yun’s eyes lit up, and he nodded and smiled.

"The second thing is the head of Wu Ruhai, a mortal enemy of Songjia Village. Now Wu Ruhai is hiding in Laoye Ridge and dares not go out. I have a small team of brothers over there."

As long as Brother Shangguan is willing, we can take action at any time, cooperate from the inside and outside to wipe out Wu Ruhai and his band of bandits, and even bring some prisoners for you. I'm sure Brother Shangguan won't refuse, hehe...

"Alright... If that's really the case, then I must thank you two brothers on behalf of the elders and folks of Songjia Village, hehe..." Shangguan Yun was finally moved.

It was Wu Ruhai who shot Song Baichuan in the back at the Dragon King Temple, causing Song's death. Song Xiaoyun cried to him about it many times.

If he hadn't been so busy lately, Shangguan Yun would have already gone to Laoye Ridge to kill Wu Ruhai himself. The news Wang Wei brought made him very happy.

“That’s settled then. I’ll make arrangements as soon as I get back, and then inform Brother Shangguan of the operation time. Let’s try to take care of that scumbag Wu Ruhai before the New Year…” Wang Wei said.

At this moment, Wu Ruhai was huddled in a cave on Laoye Ridge, lacking food and clothing, and shivering. Upon hearing this, he immediately jumped up.

"Do you have any humanity left? If you want to kill me, at least get me a big meal so I can die well-fed!"

A loud voice roared, "Stop arguing, you're about to get your lunchboxes and go home..." This is a line from a foreign language.
