Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'-Chapter 707 - 470 Hero Zhao Xiaowan_5

"How about Xie Mengjiao?"

Shan Zhumei lowered her head. "Except for her."

Li Banfeng said, "If I capture her as well and she implicates others, wouldn’t that also be on your head?"

Shan Zhumei’s features began to contort. Her resistance crumbled, and she answered every question Li Banfeng posed.

The Flying General Camp had many members, though Shan Zhumei wasn’t sure of the exact number. She had met more than a dozen of them. The singer Xie Mengjiao’s main task was to pass on messages, while the merchant Fang Guiquan’s was to gather information. Her own task was to record the various deeds of the Flying General Camp.

"You wrote the deeds directly in the newspaper. Weren’t you worried about leaking information about the Flying General Camp?"

"This was an order from the Flying General. It was the General who asked me to spread these heartening deeds far and wide."

"Have you met the Flying General?"

"I have!" Shan Zhumei replied excitedly. "Even though I didn’t see her face, just from her indistinct silhouette, I could tell she is the most beautiful woman in the world!"

"Are you sure that was Zhao Xiaowan?"

"I’m sure it was her. She is the embodiment of beauty and wisdom. With just a light wave of her Long Spear, everyone was overawed, daring not to look directly at her.

After annihilating the bandits on Thousand Pearls Mountain, the General immediately had Xie Mengjiao tell me of their victory. I had already started writing before the newspaper even received the news. This is an article I’ll be proud of for the rest of my life!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Is there a next piece?"

"There is!" Shan Zhumei answered proudly. "The General has already led people to Fallen Jade Pass to eradicate the Jiang Xiang Gang members there."

Li Banfeng was startled. "Zhao Xiaowan is going to fight the Jiang Xiang Gang?"

Shan Zhumei nodded. "The Jiang Xiang Gang is utterly lawless. The Flying General Camp cannot coexist with them!

Within three days, the Flying General Camp will wipe out the Jiang Xiang Gang’s Hall Entrance at Fallen Jade Pass, and this great feat will be immortalized by my pen."

Li Banfeng blinked. This "Zhao Xiaowan" is doing things in a very high-profile way. Is what Shan Zhumei said true? This matter will be easy to verify; I just have to wait three days to find out.

Li Banfeng stood up to leave. Shan Zhumei stopped him, saying, "Are you going to kill me to silence me? I’m not afraid of death. I just wish to see Miss You once more."

Li Banfeng did not respond. He bypassed Shan Zhumei and left the private room.

Shan Zhumei sat in the private room, devoid of hope, tears streaming down her face.

After she had been crying for a while, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Oil Peach appeared before her.

Shan Zhumei clutched Oil Peach’s clothes, as if seeing a sliver of hope.

Oil Peach gently stroked Shan Zhumei’s hair. "Let’s wait together for the General’s victory dispatch. I still want to read the stories you write."

「Two days later.」

Luo Zhengnan was the first to receive the news that the Jiang Xiang Gang’s Hall Entrance at Fallen Jade Pass had been eliminated, and its over three hundred gang members were decimated.

Oil Peach also brought news that the Flying General Camp was preparing to press their advantage and annihilate two more Hall Entrances of the Jiang Xiang Gang.

Li Banfeng returned to the Portable Residence, holding the Phonograph, and said, "My beloved wife, someone is doing great things under your banner."

"Oh, my dear husband, what great things?"

"Fighting the Jiang Xiang Gang. This is a good thing, a genuinely good thing!"

「Dark Star Bureau, Director’s Office.」

Xiao Zhenggong looked at Director Shen Jingye and said, "The Flying General Camp has wiped out three of our Hall Entrances. Are you going to do something about it or not?"

Shen Jingye said, "The higher-ups are urgently looking into this matter. I estimate the work plan will be ready soon."

"A plan? Are you just going to stand by and watch the Jiang Xiang Gang be destroyed?"

Shen Jingye offered no further explanation, only asking, "Do you still intend to use the Equilibrium Seal?"

Xiao Zhenggong looked at Shen Jingye. "If I use the Equilibrium Seal one more time, the Jiang Xiang Gang will be completely devoured by you all. Without the Jiang Xiang Gang, I suppose you won’t need me, the Balancer, anymore. You’re thinking of replacing me, am I wrong?"
