When Li Yunlong received this call, he was completely dumbfounded.

If they are allowed to join the Independent Army as soon as possible, they can complete their mission more quickly.

This is also a formidable fighting force for the Japanese.

But Ye Bai kept making excuses and wasn't in a hurry at all.

The Japanese will not let them off easily, and they will continue their attacks for some time to come.

If we don't expand now, what are we waiting for?

Ye Bai simply said, "It's not the right time yet."

Li Yunlong was speechless. Even though he had many questions in his mind, he could only swallow them down.

He was waiting for Ye Bai to reveal this secret, and then they could do it again.

"Call everyone in for a meeting." (The door opens.)

Chapter 284: What if someone breaks the rules?

Before Li Yunlong could even sit down, Ye Bai gave another order.

However, he didn't have too many doubts, because these civilians had been scattered from the beginning.

However, all the staff members had already arrived.

There are some things we still need to tell them.

At least, they have developed a slight liking for Shicheng County.

The meeting absolutely had to be held; otherwise, they would just be sitting idly in the city.

“Hmm,” Wang Yao replied.

Li Yunlong gave the order.

Soldiers from the Independent Corps went out to inform each household about the situation.

Unlike soldiers, civilians can gather together with just one blast of the horn.

They naturally wouldn't object.

The Independent Regiment called them here to bring them together, and everyone obeyed.

They assembled very quickly.

As time went on, the number of people in the square increased.

In the end, they couldn't even stand still and could only squeeze into the side path.

The scene suddenly became lively.

However, the spies hidden among the crowd were on high alert.

They were also puzzled as to why Ye Bai would gather all these civilians in Shicheng County.

Now, it seems that some information is about to be leaked.

As scouts, they had to gather all the intelligence and report it to their headquarters.

Ye Bai came out.

He stood there on the high platform, looking down at everyone.

When the people saw the boy, they immediately started harassing him, without knowing what had happened.

"This is Ye Bai, the captain of the Independent Regiment."

Ye Bai's words caused an uproar. Not to mention the spies, even the common people were shocked.

Some of them had heard that Ye Bai was not very old, but the boy in front of them was only eleven or twelve years old, which was too young.

Is this a joke?

That's what they were thinking.

How did a young man lead an independent regiment to defeat the Japanese on the front lines?

Ye Bai did not answer, but continued, "I called you here today to discuss something, and also about the rules of this city."

"Without rules, there are no rules." "Listen up, everyone! Anyone who breaks the rules will be expelled from the sect and left here forever."

His words weren't loud, but everyone heard them clearly.

The surrounding civilians fell silent.

This is related to their lives in the village; if they don't know this, they could very well be kicked out.

Moreover, they already have their own identities, and very few people can get in.

However, they didn't see anything wrong with it, given the large number of people present.

That's incredibly rude!

They yearn for peace, but also hope to abide by the rules.

The rules are easy to understand.

The land and undeveloped mountains here belong to them, and they can use them for cultivation if they wish.

Furthermore, you are not allowed to cause trouble in the city.

In their view, such a restriction was far too vague.

Compared to the rules and regulations, the fact that Ye Bai declared this territory in the city to be theirs made them even more eager.

The reason their lives were so miserable was because they couldn't grow crops.

Whether they were tenants of landlords or facing Japanese bandits, people's lives were difficult, so how could they possibly farm in peace?

But now, Ye Bai is handing over this land without hesitation.

This gave them the illusion that a huge cake had fallen from the sky, so naturally they wouldn't object.

5.6 His impression of this independent regiment was also getting deeper and deeper.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they all frowned and pondered.

Is this the thing this guy came to talk about?

"Next, the Independent Regiment will allocate land according to the number of people in each family. With more land allocated, we won't have to worry."

Ye Bai continued, "Furthermore, we also have a significant limitation. Anyone who dares to break the rules will be killed without exception!"

Chapter 285: Get out!

And not far away

Ye Bai's tone shifted abruptly, now filled with intense killing intent.

The public was alarmed by this sudden turn of events and fell silent in fear.

But their hearts were still pounding.

"To the south, there is a heavily guarded area. This is the Independent Regiment's secret; no one is allowed to enter, or they will be executed. I urge you all not to risk your lives."

When Ye Bai's news came out, the common people didn't react much, because they had all heard of this place and were therefore very interested in it.

However, they didn't say much.

But the spies' eyes lit up, as if they had seen something extraordinary.

"Meeting adjourned." Ye Bai's gaze swept over the crowd with a cryptic meaning before he left. Night fell, and Shicheng County fell silent. 15

Only a few houses had their lights on.

A dead silence.

A thick layer of darkness enveloped the entire world.

Even the bright moon was shrouded in gloom at this moment.

The spies in the shadows felt uneasy when they thought about the secret location Ye Bai had mentioned that morning.

He felt a surge of irritation.

That was their goal for this trip.

If they can obtain some secrets from here, then their goal will be achieved.

However, they were still somewhat wary.

Everyone knows that the commander of this independent regiment is definitely a smart man.

If we just let it go like this, it would be tantamount to exposing our true identity.

Therefore, many people are hiding in the shadows, wanting to test whether it's true or not.

It was already night, and everyone was fast asleep.

Some people headed south.

You can vaguely see that there are a few guards here. Although the area is small, it is surrounded by metal fences.
