News of the discovery of treasure in the Savage Mountain reached Dongzhi City in just half a day.

Ever since the Long Gang sent people into the mountains to clear mines, the Shan State government army in the city has been keeping a close eye on the situation.

The commotion in the valley grew louder and louder.

......

January 24, Yeren Mountain Valley.

Five Burmese army jeeps kicked up dust and sped into the valley.

About half a mile from the valley entrance, there is a small earthen mound.

Peng Demin was squatting under an ammunition box under a camphor tree, slowly munching on compressed biscuits.

The dust kicked up by the jeep was getting closer and closer.

About 200 meters away from the old camphor tree, we were stopped by a roadblock and a group of self-defense soldiers.

Peng Demin grabbed the water bottle next to him and gulped down a few mouthfuls, squinting at the group of people getting off the bus one after another.

Besides a dozen or so guards armed with submachine guns, the leaders were all dressed in government military officer uniforms.

He unexpectedly spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.

The man was about forty-five or forty-six years old, tall and thin, wearing gold-rimmed glasses. In the afternoon sun, the major general's epaulets on his shoulders gleamed...

He paused for a moment, then immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie: "Let them through. They are the Burmese army's negotiators."

......

Major General Nevin's military boots arrogantly strode over several uneven mounds of earth.

On the slope, which was rutted and messy from the tire tracks, there were still some broken shell casings left by the Japanese army.

He looked up at the blasted crack in the mountain behind the forest, hundreds of meters away.

On a cliff face more than twenty meters high, a group of Dragon Gang soldiers were using ropes to lower wooden crates down. Golden glints peeking out from the corners of the crates shimmered in the sunlight...

Those damned Dragon Gang members, digging for things right up to my doorstep?

Naiwen covered the 200-meter dirt road in just over ten minutes.

He recognized the young officer who was squatting at the foot of the camphor tree at a glance.

"Commander Peng? How could it be you?" Naiwen feigned surprise. "When did the Kokang Self-Defense Army become so close to the Dragon Gang?"

"General Newin, it's been a long time."

Peng Demin clapped his hands, which were covered in crumbs, and stood up:

"As my father intended, seven days ago, my Peng family and the Kokang Self-Defense Army joined the Dragon Gang."

"This rumor is actually true?!" Navin was taken aback.

Who is Peng Jiasheng, the "King of Kokang"?

He was one of the most representative figures among the warlords in northern Burma.

Since joining the guerrilla force in northern Myanmar at the age of 15, he has participated in almost half of the major and minor battles in northern Myanmar over the decades.

With his strong grassroots connections and personal reputation, Peng Jiasheng has been entrenched in Kokang for over forty years.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Peng family, to which the Kokang King belongs, can fully represent the public opinion of most of Kokang.

How could such a person suddenly change sides and join a gang?

That's unbelievable.

Naiwen stared intently at Peng Demin for a long while before letting out a long sigh: "Sigh... I really don't understand, with the prestige of your Peng family, why bother with this?"

"There's an old Chinese saying, 'A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on.' You must have heard of it, General."

"I've heard of them, but the Dragon Gang... are they considered good?"

"Then there's no need for you to worry about that, Major General Naiwen. Enough of this small talk. May I ask what brings you here, Major General?"

"Oh, the main reason I came here is to learn about the discovery of the Japanese treasure in the Savage Mountain, and also to discuss with your gang the possibility of joint excavation of the treasure."

"Joint excavation? Major General Nevin is joking. Haven't you seen that we've already started digging?"

Naiwen's eyes narrowed, a hint of coldness flashing in them: "Can Commander Peng make the decisions here?"

"No, but I think the final result will be the same," Peng Demin answered honestly.

"Then please have Commander Peng call out the person who can make the decision."

"No need to call me, it's me!"

A rough male voice came from behind the shadow of the camphor tree.

......

"Are you in charge here?" Nawen stared intently at the man in black before him.

Outwardly, the man appeared strong and composed.

Beneath the black clothing, a cheetah seemed to lurk, ready to pounce on its enemy at any moment.

This person is dangerous.

"The Dragon Gang's Kokang Guard, marching towards the mountains and rivers!" the man in black said, bowing.

“Ne Win, commander of the 89th Mountain Division of the Shan State Army of the Myanmar government.” Ne Win nodded slightly.

"Oh? So you're a high-ranking official? What brings Commander Nevin here?"

"Captain Xiang, do you know whose territory this Savage Mountain belongs to?"

"Of course I know. This place is located 30 kilometers northwest of Taunggyi, and it belongs to Shan State."

"Good to know. Then I won't waste any more words. Your Dragon Gang's territory is in Kokang, in northern Myanmar."

"Isn't it inappropriate for you to mobilize such a large force, traveling all the way from high mountains to our doorstep to dig for something?"

“Commander Naiwen, this is not Dongzhi City, but the Savage Mountain.” Xiang Shanhe’s dark face turned even darker.

What kind of person is this, reaching out for anything that seems profitable?

So what if you're part of the government army?

Anyone who reaches out will be slashed!

"This is Myanmar land, and all property here should belong to the state!"

The adjutant behind Major General Nevin suddenly became enraged and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"You Dragon Gang should be smart and not do anything foolish!"

"What did you say? Know your place?" Xiang Shanhe pretended not to hear. "Say it again?!"
