Inside a building.

Chunniang sat on the sofa, resting her chin on her hands, watching Songshan pace back and forth with a calm gaze.

Before them lay a group of people lying on the ground, critically injured and covered in blood. The room had just been the scene of a battle and was in a state of disarray.

The intelligence station's leaders cleaned up the battlefield, dragging away the wounded and burying the dead. Their subordinates stood motionless in the corner, rifles in hand.

Now, this group of undercover agents has officially taken to the stage.

The lead sheep can also appear in public openly and legitimately.

Meanwhile, the intelligence network had informants throughout Westburg, who became the eyes and ears of the organization, monitoring everything in Westburg.

"At this point, the stubborn societies of Westburg have been completely wiped out, which can be considered a satisfactory explanation to the authorities."

Chunniang yawned and said, "A-Song, when are we being transferred back?"

Songshan glanced at her and said, "The master isn't here, so I can't make the decision."

Chunniang: "But I heard that Leader Sha and Minister Hu are arriving soon..."

"Yes, they're already on their way. They will be taking over the positions of Ms. Lina and Secretary Li."

Chunniang said, "That Lu Guimeng, he used to be Yuan Lin's right-hand man. Will Minister Hu settle scores with them this time?"

Songshan shook his head: "Master instructed that Lu Guimeng is still useful and there is no need to purge him. Yuan Lin and Meng Jingyuan are both dead. Without Master's support, the old party of the Yuan faction cannot gain a foothold in Xibao. They are rootless duckweed. If we purge them, where will we find capable people to govern?"

“Minister Hu is capable, and besides, Leader Sha is also very talented,” Chunniang said.

"You don't need to worry about things at the higher levels." Songshan frowned and glanced at her.

Chunniang pouted and muttered a few complaints.

"What are you saying? Don't think I can't hear you."

Chunniang said, "That's right. Master promised us that he would take us back after we completed the mission."

Songshan asked, "Where do you want to go back to? The sandcastle?"

"Of course, the master promised us that we could go back and get a government job, sit in an office, and deal with documents. It would be considered as payment for our service."

Songshan said, "Didn't we give you a formal position? Our intelligence station is even a directly subordinate agency, what are you dissatisfied with?"

“But I just want to go back to Sandcastle,” Chunniang complained.

"Alright, alright, be content. You went inside the walls with the master and came back safe and sound. You're already a hero... my sister," Song Shan said, rolling her eyes.

Chunniang chuckled; in this respect, she was indeed luckier than the other lead sheep.

The time she spent with the master inside the wall was unforgettable for her.

After cleaning up the battlefield, everyone went home. Chunniang followed Songshan back to the intelligence station to handle the follow-up matters. Songshan organized a meeting and gathered all the leaders of the sheep in the council hall.

"After the internal issues are resolved, starting today, the intelligence station will expand outwards and weave our intelligence network. The Master just went to the Old City and sent back a telegram, requesting a portion of intelligence forces to wreak havoc in the southwestern desert, mainly focusing on intelligence investigation and surveillance in Purple Castle and Boiler City. Before taking attendance, I would like to ask you all: if anyone is willing to go, it would be best to raise your hand now, because the list is finalized and this is the last time the list will be changed; there is no going back."

Upon hearing this, Chunniang immediately raised her hand: "I'll go!"

Songshan crossed out her name on the document and asked, "Who else?"

Sheep number two, four, and seven also raised their hands.

"We're all willing to go."

Songshan counted the number of people and couldn't help but laugh: "What a coincidence. Excluding Chunniang, you three leaders did not participate in the master's previous actions in Xibao and inside the wall. Are you trying to gain merit on your own initiative?"

When Xibao sank Xihai, the No. 3 and No. 5 lead sheep both contributed their efforts. When they went to the No. 1 wall, the No. 6 lead sheep, Chunniang, personally went with Qin Che.

As for the remaining lead sheep, they did not participate in the operation, but stayed in the rear to do the work.

If the master can't see it, then all the work has been for nothing, hasn't it?

This is an excellent opportunity. If you want to make a contribution, the best place is the southwestern desert, which is closest to the master. If you make a contribution, the master will see it.

The group looked at each other, but their eyes remained firm.

Songshan crossed out some people's names and made a list of all those who raised their hands.

"Alright, Number Two, Number Four, Number Six, Number Seven, you split into two teams, one to Purple Castle and the other to Boiler City, to cooperate with the Master's work. Go get the operation budget and set off immediately!"

"yes!"

Chunniang was overjoyed, but of course, she deliberately put on a determined expression.

Since she couldn't go back, she would rather see the master again and work for him than complete the mission.

...

"Li Shuai, welcome back."

In the Sand Castle Border District, the leader's chief secretary, Liang Hui, drove over, bringing with him leader Chen Fusheng, administrative director Sha Shu, and military director Chen Da to welcome this renowned military industry leader.

If you look closely, Li Jiuyuan was the first official in the cabinet to truly pledge allegiance to Qin Che. When Qin Che was just a leader of the underworld, Li Jiuyuan recognized Qin Che's loyalty and followed him until now.

Therefore, although Li Jiuyuan was no longer in command of the troops in Shabao, the title of 'General Li' was still retained and became the respectful title given to him by the people of Shabao.

During the period of factional strife, Li Jiuyuan was constantly traveling and trading, reorganizing his factories, and trying to connect the eastern desert with the industrial products of Sandcastle. In fact, he succeeded. The Wind Fortress, the Bunker, the Garbage Mountain, the No. 2 Salt Lake District, and the small cities in various places all recognized Li Jiuyuan's caravan and used Sandcastle's legal currency for settlement. With the unlimited supply of synthetic starch, the hunger problem in the eastern desert region had been significantly solved during this period.

Li Jiuyuan's reputation reached a new peak.

He rarely came back, and even if something really happened, he would only send his trusted confidant Zhu Shaoheng or the former commander of the Third Division, Shao Tian, ​​to take charge.

This time, it's different from the past.

"Enough of the small talk. There is an important matter that I must personally oversee. There is a shipment of goods in the convoy that needs to be delivered to Wall Number One with the help of your army."

Li Jiuyuan, weary from his journey, strode up and looked at Chen Da, the commander of the Chunbing Division, and spoke frankly and directly.

"This is... an order from Wall Number One?"

Chen Da was taken aback, and Chen Fusheng and the shrew behind him also looked at each other in surprise.

“Indeed, the three major violent organizations of Wall One have simultaneously submitted gun orders to the eastern region, and they are all large-scale transactions.” Li Jiuyuan frowned and looked at Chen Fusheng and Sand Rat. “It would be best to report to Mr. Qin immediately and see what his suggestion is. I can’t figure out Wall One’s intentions.”

Chen Fusheng asked, "Have you checked the identity of the person sending the telegram?"

"I checked, and it seems to be under the leadership of Fu Dang."

Gerbil glanced down at the order documents. "The Trauma Action Team ordered 30,000, and Wall One law enforcement and police departments, along with their branches, each ordered 10,000. When did the Crocodile-10 become so sought after? Have they lost their minds? Wouldn't it be better to use the city council's funds to buy Golden Eagles and Rapid Fires?"

Everyone looked up and exchanged glances.

There must be something fishy going on here.
