Qiu Zian never imagined that when he woke up after being drunk, he would be hundreds of miles away.

"Where are we?" Qiu Zian asked.

"Secretary Qiu, it's better not to ask. We are only responsible for taking you back. As for the rest, we have no comment."

Qiu Zian sighed: "Hey... no one wants you anyway, it doesn't matter where you go. If you take me to be a bandit, I will be at ease."

Thinking of Mr. Yan's attitude, Qiu Zian inevitably felt sad again.

He had worked hard for the Jinsui Army for so many years, but in the end he ended up like this. If he stayed in Mr. Yan's territory, what else could he do except make Xie Yi'an and the others a laughing matter?

"Secretary Qiu, if you have such an idea, we will be much more relaxed on the road. Let's get in the car. We are still in a hurry."

When the carriage passed Gao Cang's checkpoint, Qiu Zian looked at the soldiers around him and was dumbfounded.

"Zhao Zhiguo's defense zone?"

The soldiers on horseback put away their guns. When they arrived at their defense area, Qiu Zian couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

"Secretary Qiu, I'm sorry for you. Our commander learned that you were having an uncomfortable time at the Jinsui Army, so please come to our place to relax."

"What are you commander thinking? I know better than you. My family is still within Mr. Yan's defense zone." Qiu Zian said.

With his relatives in Mr. Yan's hands, how could he possibly work for Zhao Zhiguo?

If Mr. Yan learns that Qiu Zian has become Zhao Zhiguo's guest, the first thing he will do is to destroy Qiu Zian's family.

"Secretary Qiu, don't worry, your wife and children have arrived in Wang County ahead of you. You will meet your family in a few days."

"What!?"

Qiu Zian was shocked. He didn't expect that his family had already arrived in Zhao Zhiguo's defense zone.

"Our people pretended to be your soldiers. When you went to Mr. Yan's office, they went to your house and told your wife that Mr. Yan wanted to kill your whole family."

"This was all arranged by Zhao Zhiguo?" Qiu Zian sneered, "Did he already think about this matter before he faked his death?"

Qiu Zi'an thought that when he was invited to attend Zhao Zhiguo's funeral, Zhao Zhiguo must have made a good plan, and he has made it this far.

In other words, the reason why he is where he is now in Mr. Yan's mind is thanks to Zhao Zhiguo.

"Commander, you are bold and careful, and your planning is precise and watertight. We only need to follow the commander's deployment and proceed step by step."

"Hmph, people who are too narrow-minded tend to have short lives!" Qiu Zian said.

"Secretary Qiu, although you are the commander's guest, you should be careful what you say. If you enter our defense area, if others hear this, they will shoot you."

The soldiers in the First Military Division are all fanatical supporters of Zhao Zhiguo. Let alone regular soldiers, even if the militiamen hear Qiu Zian saying that Zhao Zhiguo is short-lived, they will fight for Qiu Zian.

"Just kill me if you can. Anyway, I have lived enough."

The frustrated Qiu Zian no longer cared about his own life or death.

He understands Zhao Zhiguo's character. Even if he dies, Zhao Zhiguo will not embarrass his family like Mr. Yan, and he will definitely treat him kindly.

"I don't know what the commander sees in you. Do you know how to fool around? At such an old age, are you fooling around with us young people?" The soldier mocked Qiu Zian.

"Hey? How can you, a little warrior, talk? I am your elder after all."

Qiu Zian was not unhappy that the young warrior was mocking him, but that he was too old.

"Senior? Our commander is not as good at showing off as you are. You are old and disrespectful."

"You're a little soldier, you talk angry words in return. Do you believe that your commander will beg me to stay?"

Qiu Zi'an thought, if he couldn't even surrender a soldier, how could he mess around in Zhao Zhiguo's territory in the future.

"Dream, maybe this time you go to Wang County, you will see your family for the last time." The soldier said.

When the little soldier said this, Qiu Zian's face darkened on the spot, and he didn't say a word the whole way.

After arriving in Wang County, Qiu Zian saw his wife and children, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Secretary Qiu, you are familiar with the road to Pingcheng, so we won't accompany you," the soldier said.

Zhao Zhiguo specifically explained that after sending Qiu Zian to Wang County, he no longer had to worry about Qiu Zian. In their territory, Qiu Zian could not escape even if he wanted to.

Although Zhao Zhiguo had someone arrange a place for Qiu Zian to live, Qiu Zian's family came to Wang County in a hurry and did not even have time to pack their luggage and gold and silver items.

Along the way, Qiu Zian was very unhappy at being scolded by the little soldier. He thought to himself that as long as Zhao Zhiguo did not threaten him with the lives of his wife and children, he would rather die than work for Zhao Zhiguo.

However, a penny stumps the heroic man.

His wife exchanged all the gold and silver jewelry she brought with her into money. Although she can still survive for a while, she can't sit back and rest, right?

So money made Qiu Zian put down all his dignity and wanted to find a job in the city, even if he could barely make ends meet.

However, despite being so pampered in recent years, Qiu Zian cannot do physical work.

He does have some culture and knowledge, but a small shop cannot care about people like Qiu Zian.

"No, you should discuss it with Commander Zhao. It is not an option to continue like this." Qiu Zian's wife persuaded.

The current situation is tense and everything in the world is not cheap.

She is a woman who is about to pawn all the clothes in the house. If this continues, the whole family will have to go out to beg for food.

Zhao Zhiguo had already learned about Qiu Zian's stay in Wang County from the soldiers.

Compared with being concerned about Qiu Zian's affairs, Zhao Zhiguo was more concerned about the affairs of the Japanese army.

The more than 20,000 Japanese troops did not hold out for long before they collapsed outside Pingcheng. Although the other Japanese army suffered little loss, its fighting spirit was also gone.

When something like this happens, the little devil naturally wants to find someone to take the blame.

However, Miura, who was most responsible for taking the blame, became the dead soul under the saber of Zhao Zhiguo's cavalry regiment. Naturally, those who made decisions in the staff department would not take the blame on themselves.

"It's Zhao Zhiguo who is too cunning!"

The people on my side can't take the blame, so of course I have to let Zhao Zhiguo take the blame.

It was Zhao Zhiguo's fake death that deceived them, but the little Japanese had completely forgotten the warning from the Japanese division commander in Bingzhou.

How to deal with Zhao Zhiguo has become the top priority for the Japanese army.

If Zhao Zhiguo is not dealt with, when Zhao Zhiguo's troops become stronger day by day, he will lead his troops to attack the Central Plains.

The Central Plains region has the busiest transportation lines in China, and the Japanese army relies heavily on it.

As long as Zhao Zhiguo cooperates with other units of the Eighth Route Army to stand firm in the Central Plains, the Japanese troops in China will always be entangled.
