Chapter 1039 Little Wei and his fellow disciples followed.
Jiang Jiyun and the other man followed closely behind Xu Chuntang, passing through streets until they arrived near a magnificent mansion.
Xu Chuntang moved closer to Jiang Jiyun and said in a low voice, "See that? That big black and white house is Chixia's residence. His family is very well guarded!"
"I was thinking of disguising myself as a servant to sneak in and investigate, but I later realized that it was impossible, because everyone in the Ikeshita household is his confidant, and it is really difficult for outsiders to infiltrate!"
Jiang Jiyun looked at the house in front of him and, after careful observation, found that there were many people patrolling inside and outside the house, and the security was extremely tight.
If these people are all Japanese soldiers, then judging from the number of people seen so far, there is at least a sizable Japanese army hiding in the city.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jiyun couldn't help but frown.
After all, this was only the number of enemies they could detect.
As for other undiscovered corners, there are probably even more lurking Japanese soldiers waiting for their chance to strike.
In this way, the entire county town had actually been taken over by the Japanese without anyone realizing it.
This place is a vital passage; unless you cross the adjacent mountain or take a detour, this is the only route you can take.
Just as Jiang Jiyun was deep in thought, Xu Chuntang kept looking around.
Seeing how nervous she was, Jiang Wenming quickly patted her shoulder and said, "Alright, don't worry about it anymore. This place is far from where you live. Even if something happens here, as long as you stay at home, you shouldn't be affected."
Xu Chuntang didn't listen to him completely; she remained standing there, motionless.
At this moment, Jiang Wenming couldn't help but urge, "Don't worry, young lady! You'll know the latest situation by tomorrow morning at the latest. Why stay here and guard? It'll only expose us!"
Xu Chuntang stared wide-eyed at the uncle and nephew in front of him, his heart filled with resentment.
These two people actually betrayed me after I was done with it. Did they think I was just a useless burden in their eyes?
Jiang Jiyun noticed that Xu Chuntang's face was flushed, as if she was quite angry, and quickly explained, "Look at your outfit. If a fight really breaks out, this dress and little leather shoes of yours will be in the way!"
As she spoke, she specifically pointed to Xu Chuntang's skirt.
Upon hearing her say that, Xu Chuntang subconsciously looked down at her own clothes.
Indeed, she was wearing a long dress today, which made it difficult for her to move around.
In contrast, the little girl standing to the side looked quite disheveled; her shoes were so worn that her two toes were clearly visible.
“Take our advice and leave here immediately. Our people will be here soon, and it’s really not appropriate for you to stay here,” Jiang Jiyun patiently persuaded.
They both knew that if Xu Chuntang didn't leave quickly, they wouldn't be able to retrieve the weapons from the spatial storage.
Xu Chuntang didn't notice anything wrong. She simply thought it might be because their companions were coming and they didn't want outsiders to see what they looked like.
So she nodded to show her understanding, and after repeatedly telling them to be extra careful, she turned and left.
Jiang Wenming looked at the other person's leather shoes and said, "These shoes aren't even fast for running. You think you can go to the battlefield?"
Jiang Jiyun took out the smallest drone from his spatial storage. The two of them hid at the foot of a nearby house's courtyard wall and controlled the drone to fly into the sky and then over that house.
Jiang Wenming cautiously surveyed his surroundings, waiting for Jiang Jiyuan to arrive and join him.
Looking at the house on the screen, Jiang Jiyun said, "Goodness, this Japanese devil's house is quite big. It's a waste that such a person lives in a mansion of over a thousand square meters."
Looking at the patrolling men and large dogs below, Jiang Jiyun asked in confusion, "Uncle, is there a secret in Chixia's house? Even the Imperial Guards patrolling the palaces of ancient emperors weren't this frequent. Is there some huge secret, or are they just afraid of dying?"
While remaining vigilant, Jiang Wenming replied, "It seems we really can't sneak in during the day. Those stalls set up at the foot of the courtyard wall are obviously sentries."
Jiang Wenming thought that there would probably be a fierce battle tonight!
He picked up the phone and dialed Jiang Jiyuan's number, saying in a serious tone, "Jiang, I think we need to be fully prepared for tonight's operation..."
After saying what he wanted to say, he hung up the phone without paying any attention to Jiang Jiyuan's instructions.
He couldn't help but mutter, "What a pity, it would have been great if Xiaotian and the others could have come with us..."
However, Jiang Wenming was unaware that at that very moment, Xiao Tian, Xiao Wei, and Nan Huan had arrived near the city gate and were preparing to enter the city.
It turned out that Xiao Tian and Xiao Wei wanted to get off the bus after seeing Jiang Wenming and the other two get off.
So, Xiao Wei and his companion decided to go with them, even going so far as to plead with Ma Chao.
Finally, they managed to jump off the train and chased after the three people who had left.
After seeing his two junior brothers run away, Nan hesitated for a moment before quickly bidding farewell to Ma Chao and then jumping off the train with Xiao Tian and Xiao Wei.
Upon entering the city, Xiao Tian, facing this completely unfamiliar place, didn't know where to find anyone. He turned to Xiao Wei beside him and asked, "Senior brother, we don't know anyone here. Why don't we try to contact Xiao Yun and the others first?"
Xiao Wei frowned, thought for a moment, and replied, "Hmm... I think it's better to contact Brother Yuan first. After all, Xiao Yun and Uncle have never known any routes. If we let them find their way here on their own, they'll probably just get further and further astray and might even get lost. In comparison, Brother Yuan is much more reliable."
Xiao Wei felt helpless whenever he thought of those two people who didn't know the way and were unreliable.
At this moment, the two guys they thought were unreliable were busy packing up their drones and returning to space.
Jiang Jiyun began to concentrate on drawing a detailed map of the Ikeshita family.
Jiang Wenming watched curiously as Jiang Jiyun picked up a pen and started drawing on the paper.
She sketched out stick figures of various shapes to represent the patrol team and guards, and labeled these little figures with specific numbers.
Not only that, even the patrol dogs were assembled by her using a few circles, two ears, and a tail drawn with a line.
Jiang Jiyun also described the layout of each courtyard and the structure of the house in great detail.
Jiang Jiyuan, who had successfully made contact with the local guerrillas, couldn't wait to report to them on the various situations currently facing the city.
Faced with the thorny issue of how to help innocent civilians in the city evacuate safely, everyone fell into deep thought.
Song Lan suggested, "Today is the day of the Ghost Festival. If a respected person were to say that there is a gate to the underworld outside the city today, and that their deceased relatives would enter the Yellow Springs through that gate, do you think they would all come out to see their loved ones off?"
