Chapter 343 Uncle 9 Arrives
In addition, they were delayed on the road for another whole day, and by the time the bandit-suppression troops arrived in Qingshi Town, it was already the second night after the incident.
Unable to send out troops at night, they camped in Qingshi Town again. After another two days of raising funds to suppress the bandits, the army of Xiushan County finally started the suppression of the bandits on the fifth day after the incident.
However, how could a mob of people who were involved in prostitution, gambling and drugs and had no idea how to fight possibly attack the fortifications carefully arranged by Liu Huaqiang and three professional soldiers?
Finally, after a painless battle, the anti-bandit army of Xiushan County escaped, leaving behind more than twenty corpses.
Liu Huaqiang and the other two almost dropped their jaws in shock when they saw this scene. In their opinion, this time their side not only did not have heavy firepower.
There were not even many light machine guns, and most of the soldiers were recruits. Facing an enemy that was twice their number, they would probably have to go through a huge battle.
However, what they never expected was that such a fierce battle would end so anticlimactically.
But how could they know the nature of these warlords? They always bully the weak and fear the strong. When they learned that there were hundreds of bandits who attacked Qingshi Town, all of them were armed with guns,
The most important thing is that they did not rob the civilians. It was obvious that these people must be well-trained elites.
Xie Tianci, who led the team, had no intention of attacking the stronghold by force. He only planned to blackmail the gentry in the town and then retreat back to the county town, condoning the existence of these bandits.
When these bandits become powerful, they will report them to his brother-in-law Yang Shen in a letter and ask him to send a large army to wipe them out.
He knew that his brother-in-law was a warlord with an army of 60,000 to 70,000. As long as he didn't do anything stupid and fight with these bandits, he would surely enjoy endless wealth and glory.
As for the loss of more than twenty people this time, that was completely beyond his expectations. After all, according to his previous rules, he only needed to call on his brothers and they would go.
They must have opened fire from a long distance and fled immediately after firing a few shots, so there would be no casualties at all.
But I don’t know what happened this time. More than 20 people died in just a simple formality.
"But this is also good. I can use this as an excuse to blackmail the big guys in town!"
Xie Tianci thought viciously as he led his men to flee in panic.
As for Liu Huaqiang's group, after easily defeating the invading enemies, they were afraid that this was a trap to lure the enemy, so they did not dare to chase them and could only watch them escape.
After cleaning up the battlefield, they began to continue training the soldiers. At this time, someone from the town’s intelligence station came.
It turned out that it was the political commissar sent by Jiang Li and other logistics management talents who came, which made Liu Huaqiang and the other two very happy.
He hurried down the mountain to greet them. After the two sides met and had a preliminary understanding of the village, they began to discuss and subdivided the affairs of the village.
After that, their small base began to officially operate.
...
As for Uncle Jiu, he was very confused after receiving Jiang Li’s letter.
As far as he knew, Jiang Li had troops stationed in Renjia Town and the dock, and they also had telegrams. If there was anything wrong, it could be resolved with just a telegram. Why bother writing a separate letter!
Although he was confused, his concern for his apprentice made him open the letter and read it.
"I haven't seen Uncle Jiu for a long time. Is he doing well?"
"Junior Jiang Li, I went to Dongting Lake a few days ago and found a dragon palace. After entering, I got a lot of spell recipes and array plates, as well as a large number of spiritual materials and medicines."
"I know that you, Uncle Jiu, have mastered the essence of alchemy, weapon refining and formations, so I would like to invite you to come to Nanxi County so that we can study together how to deal with these things, so as to prevent the pearls from being covered in dust and me from wasting these precious things!"
"However, I have been piled up with a lot of official duties and cannot get away to invite you for the time being. I also feel that it is too neglectful to invite you by telegram, so I wrote a letter to invite you sincerely. I hope that Uncle Jiu can come and visit me in his spare time so that I can fulfill my promise in the past to expand the Maoshan branch."
"Younger generation Jiang Li, please come in!"
After reading the letter, Uncle Jiu felt greatly encouraged and showed an expression of ecstasy. He read it carefully several times before putting the letter back into the envelope with a feeling of being unsatisfied.
At this time, Aunt Zhe, who was standing by, was quite confused when she saw Uncle Jiu like this. After all, based on her understanding of Uncle Jiu, her husband was a man who never showed his emotions.
Even if something big happened, he shouldn't be so excited. But now, he no longer has any of his former solemnity, and his expression looks like he has received a windfall.
So he immediately asked about the situation, and Uncle Jiu did not hide anything and directly handed the letter in his hand to Zhe Gu.
After reading the letter, Zhe Gu was also extremely shocked. She asked Uncle Jiu in disbelief, "Husband...Husband, is it true that Ali found a dragon palace?"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu did not correct the way Zhegu addressed her. Instead, he smiled and nodded, answering her firmly, "Since it is written in the letter, it should be true."
"It's just that I really can't imagine what this Dragon Palace looks like, so no matter what, I have to go there and see it for myself!"
At this time, Zhe Gu was also very curious about the Dragon Palace, but because Jiang Li did not invite her and she had to take care of her son, she had to give up.
The same was true for Simu and Qianhe. They didn't want to go there without an invitation, so in the end they could only give up the idea with regret.
After packing up his things, Uncle Jiu drove a horse carriage and set off for Nanxi County.
In fact, Dongshan County and Nanxi County are not far apart, and with the help of the cement road, Uncle Jiu arrived in Nanxi County at noon the next day.
When Jiang Li learned that Uncle Jiu was coming so soon, he immediately put down what he was doing and went out to greet him.
"Uncle Jiu, you are here. I missed you so much after not seeing you for so long!"
After they went out, Jiang Li first gave a classic opening speech, and then saluted to him with a fist.
When Uncle Jiu saw Jiang Li, he was stunned. It turned out that he saw Jiang Li was introverted, with deep eyes, and there was a sense of lightness and elegance around him when he walked.
Uncle Jiu had seen this state in Elder Li Lin. That was the symbol of the Heavenly Master realm!
So when Uncle Jiu saw Jiang Li clasping his fists to salute him, he did not immediately help him up, but instead asked nervously, "Ah...Ah Li, have you reached the level of Heavenly Master?"
Jiang Li was not angry because Uncle Jiu did not help him. Instead, he stood up as if nothing had happened and said with a smile: "Uncle Jiu has a keen eye, and nothing can be hidden from you!"
"I got the inner elixir of a six-foot centipede before. After refining it, my power increased greatly and I broke through to the level of Heavenly Master in one fell swoop!"
