"Oh, I'll leave it to you then. I'll go back to reading."
Master Liu returned to his seat, ready to continue reading. A page of the book on the table blew up in the wind, revealing a few prominent words in the lower left corner: [Published by Dongcheng Hot Culture Media].
Wang Fa fired a signal gun into the sky, and the two or three hundred Xincheng soldiers scattered near the county government office began to move.
In no time, they subdued nearly 200 people outside.
With a burst of rapid crossbow fire, nearly a hundred people fell down, and the rest surrendered by laying down their weapons.
Why a repeating crossbow? Because the young master's gun hasn't been mass-produced yet, and only a few have been made for a few key personnel. Also, the bullet primer is a problem, and currently they're all hand-rolled, so semi-automatic isn't an option.
However, according to the research and development progress, the primer has been completed, and semi-automatic assembly and production of bullets will soon be possible. This is also the reason why Jiang Hai is so confident recently.
By the time Jiang Hai and his men arrived at the county government office, the soldiers from Prince Xuan's residence had already fallen to the ground or surrendered their weapons. The battle was over, and they hadn't even had time to watch the excitement.
Jiang Hai, waving a folding fan with the word "Shuai" on it, stepped into the yamen and happened to see the general from Prince Xuan's mansion roaring.
"Are you planning a rebellion? Do you still respect the law?"
"Yes, I am Wang Fa." Wang Fa squatted opposite him and showed him the place where his name was written on his ID card.
"Look, my name, my law. Hey, what do you want from me?"
The general was silenced instantly. Is this even possible? Damn it, I can't do anything about it.
"Tie them all up and take them back to the barracks. Remove their armor and weapons, and send those who are still alive to the military doctor."
Wang Fa stopped teasing him, stood up and gave orders, and the legion's new city soldiers began to move.
Seeing the young master coming, Wang Fa stepped forward to take credit,
"Master, do you think we've done a good job?"
"Not bad. Search for the silver you have and give half to the brothers for drinks. The rest will be confiscated."
"Okay."
Since the law had already solved the problem, Jiang Hai did not linger in the county government office. He thought that since he had been out of the county town for several days, he should go back to the new city.
So he got up and went back with Wenzhi and Wugong.
…
New City, Jiang Mansion.
Liuzi came to Jiang Xiuyuan's study. During this period, Jiang Xiuyuan had exchanged shifts with Master Liu and returned to the new city to enjoy life.
In the study, Jiang Xiuyuan talked with Liuzi for a while.
I saw Liuzi's face was tangled.
"Master, isn't this a bit mean? This is the young master. How about we think of other ways?"
"What's wrong with the young master? Isn't he still my son, Jiang Xiuyuan?" Jiang Xiuyuan was furious.
"But, that's a brothel. Could this young lady be a brothel girl?"
"What's wrong with a brothel? Didn't he say that brothel women also need to be respected? Besides, the people who go to his room are all prostitutes, so what's the problem?"
"...Okay, I'll do it. If anything goes wrong, you have to protect me."
"Go away, go away. I've been nagging him for so many days that he left home. Now that he's back today, he must be hanging around Yanchunlou again."
Liuzi left Jiang's house holding the paper bag in his hand, looking as if he had lost his parents.
When Jiang Hai left the county government office, Mr. Liu stood Jiang Xiuyuan up.
Jiang Xiuyuan knew that his eldest son would be back today.
…
On the mountain road east of the city, Huang Haitang's team, along with Yuchi Ziling and his servants, had already approached the new city.
"Mr. Su, we're not far ahead. I opened a printing factory in the east of the city. If you're interested, you can go and take a look."
Along the way, Huang Haitang chatted with Yuchi Ziling for a few minutes. Yuchi Ziling did not reveal much information and just talked to him about some irrelevant things.
Huang Haitang was a businessman. Seeing that the two men were dressed quite well, he wanted to ask them if they were visiting relatives and then going out to do business. If so, perhaps his newly launched "Little Imperial Uncle" brand would have another sales channel.
Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information, he gave up. Now that they were about to arrive in Xincheng, he lifted the car curtain and talked to Yuchi Ziling.
"Okay, thank you Uncle Huang. I will definitely visit you when I have time." Yuchi Ziling replied politely.
She didn't want to go to any printing factory for the time being. She wanted to find a place to stay in the city for a couple of days, and then go out of the city to see Binhai County. If things calmed down, she could go find Jiang Xiuyuan.
Soon they arrived at the new city. Huang Haitang said goodbye and went into the city alone.
Yuchi Ziling and her servant stood outside the east gate in shock for a long time. Cai'er said in a daze,
"Miss, what kind of place is this New City? This city is so huge. The walls are probably even higher than those in the capital."
"I don't know. I've never heard of such a place. Let's go into the city and look for a place to stay first."
The two entered the new city from the east gate. When they entered, they followed Huang Haitang's instructions and reported that they were relatives of the printing factory in the east city. After confirming Huang Haitang's name, the soldiers guarding the city let them pass.
This is also a feature of the new city. The entry into the city is relatively relaxed, but the exit from the city is more strictly checked.
Entering the new city, the master and servant were dumbfounded. They had been shocked twice before entering the city: once when they stepped onto the cement road on the mountain, and once when they reached the city gate. Now, they saw that the entire city was flat cement ground.
I couldn't believe that there was a place that was so generous as to make the entire city paved with cobblestones. Well, in their understanding, this concrete floor was cobblestones.
It is much better than the capital city. The buildings in the city are also very new and beautiful. The clothes of the pedestrians on the street show that they are all well-off.
"Miss, is this still considered a place of exile? I feel like the capital isn't as prosperous as this place."
Cai'er spoke her true feelings.
Yuchi Ziling was also confused. She had always thought that the capital was the most prosperous place in the world, but what she saw today broke her inherent cognition.
They walked and looked, sighing as they looked, like peasants coming to the city.
Just then, someone stopped them. It was a young man, dressed like a gentleman, and looked quite handsome. However, he was the well-known scalper Lao Jia in Xincheng, who specialized in swindling newbies who had just arrived in the city.
Lao Jia saw that the two people opposite him should be newcomers who had just arrived in the city. Aren’t they the target customers?
He observed for a moment and saw that both of them were carrying horses and weapons, so he decided to start with Kung Fu and gloves.
"Please stay, both of you. I think you are from the martial arts world. I have a secret manual here. I wonder if you would like to take a look at it. I will sell it to you at a low price."
"Secret book? What secret book?" Upon hearing it was a secret book, Yuchi Ziling became interested.
"This is a very impressive spear technique. I see that you are very handsome. If you practice this technique, you will definitely reach a higher level and show your prowess."
"Oh? Really? Then take it out and let me see." Yuchi Ziling became more interested.
Old Jia took out an exquisite wooden box from his arms, which contained a book. On the box was written [Sixty-nine Styles of Dragon and Phoenix Spear Technique].
