Chapter 1603: Identity Exposed

At this time, America.

The night was pitch black, one could not see their own fingers.

In the Small Tavern's Underground Arena, however, dim firelight illuminated everything.

Wan Shang, Fang Dalong, and Qin Zhangfeng sat before a round table, discussing today's events and whether to cancel tonight's operation.

"We just executed those scapegoats today, and if we launch an operation now, it will inevitably make Richard even more vigilant, making future operations incomparably difficult."

Wan Shang said in a deep voice.

Qin Zhangfeng retorted: "We don't have much time left. Once the two major regions of France and Britain go to war, these Indians will be sent to the battlefield, and at that time our strength will be further weakened."

"They will continue to endure."

"France's attention is currently focused on Britain; this is a good opportunity for us to grow stronger."

Fang Dalong also disagreed with Qin Zhangfeng's view: "Launching an attack now will definitely make Richard increase patrols by the street guards, and then when the uprising comes, we will face even more enemies than now."

"At that time, our situation will be the most dangerous."

"I believe it is not suitable to act tonight."

The three men split into two camps, each holding their own views, and neither convinced the other.

Qin Zhangfeng tapped the table and said in a deep voice: "The weapon problem must be solved; the time for the uprising cannot be delayed."

"Brother Wan, Brother Fang, the situation is just like this; as for the specific situation, you two decide based on the situation."

After saying this, Qin Zhangfeng stood up and left.

Wan Shang and Fang Dalong watched Qin Zhangfeng's departing back, not knowing what to do; the current situation was already very critical.

This matter had only just been suppressed with great difficulty; if there were any more movements now.

Even though this place was Ausilige's property, it was not certain that they wouldn't be investigated; the current situation would become extremely dangerous.

But just as Qin Zhangfeng said, the weapon matter could not be delayed; they currently only had six or seven hundred guns, a very low number.

"Brother Wan, why don't we find a Method to hijack a shipment of French weapons?"

"Brother Fang, do you think that given our current situation, what is the probability of this succeeding?"

The two fell into silence.

Qin Zhangfeng walked upstairs.

He also knew that it was best not to expose themselves during this period, but time waits for no one.

War could break out between Britain and France at any time, and they had to break out before the war arrived.

Preserve the strength of the Indians and strengthen Longyan City.

To avoid any emergencies that Longyan City might encounter in the coming war.

Qin Zhangfeng lit a cigarette and began to smoke.

Regarding the current situation, he also had no good Method.

The main issue was that the Indians had too few weapons.

The armory could not be taken, so they had to think of other ways.

Just at this moment, with a bang, Qin Zhangfeng heard a loud noise at the door of the Small Tavern.

Qin Zhangfeng rolled and hid behind the door, opening a crack to observe the situation outside.

Qin Zhangfeng looked at the night outside, empty and silent, feeling extremely puzzled; just as he was about to close the door, he suddenly looked at his feet.

A person holding a leather suitcase was lying on the ground.

This person was none other than Deng En!

Deng En looked up and saw Qin Zhangfeng, mistaking him for an Indian, and said weakly: "I know your plan, save me..."

Before Qin Zhangfeng could react, Deng En lost consciousness.

Qin Zhangfeng was stunned; the sentence he said stimulated Qin Zhangfeng's nerves.

Qin Zhangfeng stared at Deng En; although he did not know what he meant, seeing no one around, for the sake of safety, Qin Zhangfeng hurriedly pulled the person into the room.

The blood on the ground had not been cleaned up.

Qin Zhangfeng looked at the multiple wounds on his body; each one would have cost him his life if it were any deeper.

It seemed this guy had offended someone who was no ordinary person.

And this guy also said he knew their plan; could it be that their plan had leaked?

Countless questions flashed through Qin Zhangfeng's mind, finally converging into a gaze fixed on this man whose life hung in the balance.

No matter what, he was the key to this matter!

Just at this moment, Wan Shang and Fang Dalong walked up from the Underground Arena.

They looked at the man covered in wounds who had inexplicably appeared in the Small Tavern, frowned, and asked: "General Qin, what happened?"

Qin Zhangfeng frowned and said: "I don't know, but he might know our plan!"

Wan Shang and Fang Dalong were stunned!

The plan had leaked!

"But only our trusted aides know our plan; how did he find out!"

"Could there be a mole among us!"

Before the words fell, the three men immediately became vigilant; they were all colleagues of Longyan with deep ties, and the three of them instantly ruled out each other's suspicion, but they were not the only ones who knew the plan.

There were also the Indians.

"Could it be that those Indians leaked it?"

"Let's not guess for now; there are too many suspicious points in this matter. Let's save the person first, then discuss the rest," Qin Zhangfeng said directly.

"These past few days, notify Chief Wang to have his people lay low, and cancel recent operations for now."

"But continue the military training as planned; we cannot let the traitors grow suspicious."

Qin Zhangfeng said in a deep voice, and both Wan Shang and Fang Dalong agreed with Qin Zhangfeng's plan.

Wan Shang and Fang Dalong carried Deng En into the room and summoned a doctor from Longyan to treat Deng En.

The treatment lasted until morning before it finally ended.

The doctor sighed: "His injuries are extremely severe and he requires quiet rest; do not disturb him for the next few days."

The three of them nodded.

Wan Shang saw him out; this doctor was someone they had brought from Longyan City and was completely reliable.

Deng En remained unconscious.

The three sat in the room lost in thought; no matter how one looked at it, this matter was highly suspicious.

How did this fellow know their plan? Although he hadn't said it out loud, the fact that he could find this place meant he could guess it; this fellow knew quite a lot.

And what about the wounds on his body? Who exactly did this?

The fog shrouding this person was becoming thicker and thicker.

They suspected there was a traitor among the Indians; if that were the case, then France would no longer be safe.

"Are there any unusual movements from Richard?"

"I entrusted Ausilige to inquire, and everything is normal."

The three of them furrowed their brows; if their identities were exposed, the first to suffer would be Wan Shang and Fang Dalong.

They were the most suspicious.

But right now, Richard seemed to know nothing at all; could it be that a third force in France was involved in this incident?

The three of them could not figure it out.

Just at this moment, the door suddenly burst open with a bang.

Qin Zhangfeng immediately hid himself with great speed.

Wan Shang and Fang Dalong exchanged a glance, hurried forward, and opened the door to see a French Public Security Officer.

The Public Security Officer shouted coldly: "Did a severely injured person come here yesterday?"

The expressions of Wan Shang and Fang Dalong instantly stiffened!
