Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

The provincial government and the central army successfully eliminated the main forces of Marshal Lin and Marshal Yang and recovered the entire Sanlong area.

Su Bai brought the Kong family down the mountain and asked Xu Tianyi to go to Wohu Mountain to bring Doctor Chen and his group of doctors and nurses back to Linhua.

"Remember, let Liu Yi blindfold them all and send more people to escort them down the mountain."

"Are you afraid that they will go back with troops to attack Liu?" Xu Tianyi asked.

Unconsciously, Su Bai was already speaking from the perspective of the bandits. Even though she was unwilling to admit it, she gave Xu Tianyi such instructions because she was afraid that these people would remember the way and lead troops to suppress them after coming down the mountain.

Su Bai changed the subject and told Xu Tianyi to personally send Doctor Chen and the others to Linhua Military Hospital before coming back. He was afraid that Yang Huasen and Liu Yiyan would change their minds halfway and do something else.

Xu Tianyi said with a smile: "How dare they disobey the orders of the eldest young lady? Don't worry, they don't have the guts!"

Su Bai was speechless after hearing what Xu Tianyi said, so he had to push him and said, "Go away, stop talking!"

After returning to Longxing, I felt that the atmosphere in the city was different from before. There were guard posts at the four city gates, and the central army was stationed at the gates.

It can be seen at a glance that Kong Li and several nearby warlords are wearing gray-blue uniforms, while the Central Army is wearing khaki uniforms.

Since Gao Hu's guards were all wearing military uniforms, the soldiers guarding the city interrogated them.

After returning to the Confucius Mansion, Su Bai went straight to the backyard, but what she saw was a scene that made her laugh and cry.

All the mold in the ancestral hall's side rooms and the basement has disappeared.

In fact, even if it was, it couldn't be used after such a long time. What made Su Bai laugh and cry was that Marshal Lin's soldiers seemed to have burned the west wing and the basement with torches, and the entire wall was black.

I guess they thought the smell of mold was choking, so they used this method to burn it all at once.

Looking at the room where tablets were enshrined in the ancestral hall, all the tablets were gone.

The Kong family genealogy that was packed in a box was also gone.

Marshal Lin had a grudge against the Kong family, so it must have been burned or thrown away by them. In this way, the Kong family couldn't even find their ancestors.

Fortunately, no one had moved the altar in front of the tablet wall, otherwise the tunnel leading to Li's mansion would have been discovered.

Zi Yan quickly ran back from Li's Mansion and told Su Bai the good news that everything in Li's Mansion was intact and no one had entered.

Under the current circumstances, this good news is more important than anything else to Su Bai.

When they left half a month ago, the gate of Li's mansion was locked. It seemed that Marshal Lin's soldiers did not harass the people after entering the city, and did not break down the door of Li's mansion.

Guo Deyi ran to tell Su Bai that all the food in the warehouse in the east front yard was gone. This was also the most valuable material that Marshal Lin’s soldiers had looted from the Confucius Mansion.

"Go buy some more cornmeal!" Su Bai couldn't wait to ferment the mold again.

"Buy cornmeal for us to eat..."

"Don't eat the cornmeal. Pick out the good ones to eat. I give the cornmeal to give to others!" Su Bai had no choice but to say this to Guo Deyi.

Guo Deyi didn't know the truth about Su Bai's pharmaceutical production, so he was anxious this time so he asked him to buy the cornmeal back together. Next time, Su Bai decided to buy it directly from Li's Mansion instead of going through Kong Mansion's account.

Several concubines also came to complain to Su Bai, saying that their houses had been ruined beyond recognition by these soldiers and that there was a strong smell of urine. It was estimated that these people did not even leave the house to urinate in the middle of the night.

Su Bai smiled: "What can we do? Let's clean it up."

Su Bai instructed Zi Yan that as soon as the corn flour was bought, she should make corn pulp and start fermenting it. From now on, the ancestral hall and the basement would no longer be used, and everything would be done in Li's house.

Niu Yanzi and the other twelve people returned to Li Mansion a little later. Su Bai asked them to stay at Li Mansion temporarily. When the next batch of medicine reached the final filling stage, they had to go back to Cave No. 1.

Moreover, the next step is to prepare to transfer the equipment to Hole No. 1.

This will be relatively difficult, but it is the only solution.

However, now is not the time to take action immediately. We have to wait and see what will happen next after Longxing City is recaptured by the Central Army.

In fact, Su Bai was not concerned about the Central Army, but Kong Li.

Kong Li was seriously injured in this battle. It is very important to know what his future status will be in the Sanlong area and to what extent it will affect him.

If Kong Li no longer managed the military affairs of the Sanlong area, and his military power was taken away by giving him an official position at random, then there would be no need for him to move the equipment to Panlong Cave.

After Su Bai settled down at the Kong Mansion, she went straight to the county government. She wanted to hear what news Cheng Zifeng had.

Cheng Zifeng came back a day earlier than Su Bai. He warmly invited Su Bai to sit down. The first thing Su Bai said excitedly was: "It's all good news!"

Kong Li was seriously injured and sent back to Linhua Military Hospital, but he learned from Commissioner Huang that even after recovering from his injuries, Kong Li would no longer be as powerful as before.

After this battle, only more than a thousand people were left in Kong Li's army.

"The warlords' troops are unreliable!" Cheng Zifeng told Su Bai that Kong Li had lost more than 10,000 troops, a considerable number of whom fled without fighting.

Marshal Yang and Marshal Lin were quite impressive when they jointly attacked Kong Li, but they were exposed once they were attacked by the regular army of the provincial government and the central army. Like Kong Li's soldiers, more of them fled than were killed or injured.

"The Central Army is truly an elite force!" Cheng Zifeng couldn't stop praising.

"From what I heard, there were only a few hundred people when Kong Li fled into Nanshan. How come there are more than a thousand now?" Su Bai asked.

Cheng Zifeng told Su Bai that it was his elite teaching group that escorted Kong Li into the mountains, and there were several other teams that did not enter the mountains, totaling more than a thousand people.

"The head of the teaching group is Zhou Beiwang, you know that, don't you?"

Su Bai couldn't help but clench his fists: "This damn Zhou Beiwang!"

Cheng Zifeng understood Su Bai's thoughts, and he explained for Zhou Beiwang that as a soldier, Zhou Beiwang was doing his duty and he did nothing wrong.

"Don't be angry, I'll tell you another good news!"

Cheng Zifeng told Su Bai that Bai Ying's company had made great contributions in protecting the county government this time, and he had suggested to Commissioner Huang that Bai Ying's company be reorganized into a security team under the command of the county government.

He discussed it with Commissioner Huang and decided to assign this force to Longxing County on the grounds that Longxing County was plagued by rampant banditry and the county government needed to strengthen its defense. Normally, the county government could not have its own army, but Longxing was in a special period, so it was feasible to temporarily set up such an organization.

At present, this plan has been reported to the provincial government.

"Isn't that good news? As long as the provincial government approves it, what else can Kong Li do in Longxing City?" Cheng Zifeng said proudly: "It's up to the county government to decide whether to let him enter the city!"

Su Bai smiled and said, "It's a good idea, but I don't think you can do it."

Cheng Zifeng patted his chest and said, "It's a sure thing!" Then he said to Su Bai, "I didn't say that. Commissioner Huang said that. If you don't believe me, do you also believe Commissioner Huang?"

Su Bai wanted to laugh in his heart. Asking me to trust a gangster?

She was not as optimistic about this matter as Cheng Zifeng. Even if he succeeded, Kong Li would not let her go. After all, he had more than a thousand people under his command. Would he be willing to give up the batch of gold bars?

Su Bai believed that Kong Li had plenty of ways to deal with him.
