My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

When William saw the fireball swaying in front of him, he had actually come back to his senses. Now when he heard it, he asked directly, "Jiang, are you telling the truth?"

"Are you the true messenger of God?"

"Are those lower gods characters from Greek mythology?"

William's three urgent questions made Jiang Li helpless. "First of all, what I said is true. I did promote them. They are not gods in Greek mythology. They are our native Chinese gods. As for why I said lower gods, it's just to make it easier for you to understand!"

Although William listened to Jiang Li's explanation, he still had many questions in his mind. Jiang Li didn't waste any words and took him directly to Qingshui River.

The Mo Ying was found to be even bigger due to the abundant offerings. When William saw such a huge black snake, he was almost scared to death.

Fortunately, Jiang Li explained to him Mo Ying's identity in time, which helped him calm down and not be frightened to death.

William calmed himself down and kept looking at the giant black snake to see how it resembled a god.

But as Mo Ying's spiritual consciousness came, he was frightened and panicked again.

After Jiang Li comforted him for a while, he finally understood that there was an essential difference between Eastern Gods and Western Gods.

Mo Ying no longer paid attention to William, but sent a message to Jiang Li, "I feel like I'm about to turn into a dragon, Lord Jiang, can you lend me a hand?"

Jiang Li's eyes widened when he heard this, his face full of disbelief, "What did you say, you're going to turn into a dragon?"

Mo Ying nodded his huge head when he heard this, "I have been practicing for many years and I am almost growing horns. In the past few years, I have received a lot of incense and blessings, so my cultivation has taken a step closer."

"Recently, I've often had the urge to go with the flow, so I thought this might be a sign that I'm about to turn into a dragon!"

Jiang Li frowned upon hearing this, "If you turn into a dragon, how can I help you? Can I resist the thunder tribulation for you?"

"Of course not. I have tasted the livestock in your farm before. It seems that there is a strange energy in their bodies that can strengthen my body, so I want to ask you for some!"

"So that's what happened. It's a small matter. I'll have someone send you a truckload of food so you can have enough to eat!"

Mo Ying was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately sent a voice message to thank Jiang Li. Then he stammered and sent a voice message, "Actually, I have another unwelcome request, but since this request is too much, I didn't mention it."

"But Lord Jiang is so powerful now that he might be able to find a way. How dare you make such an unreasonable request this time!"

Jiang Li knew from what this guy said that what he was doing was definitely not simple, but he did not show any reaction. He wanted to hear what this guy had to say.

So he asked, "Since you know it's not an unreasonable request, then you can still tell me. If I can't do it, I'll just deny it to you!"

"To be honest, I would like to ask you if you can get the inner elixir of a demon beast. If you can help me with the inner elixir, I will have a much better chance of becoming a dragon!"

Jiang Li frowned and pondered when he heard this. Of course he didn't have the inner elixir, but he knew where it was. That was Pingshan in Nuqing County, Xiangxi. There lived a giant centipede that had been practicing for hundreds of years.

However, if he wanted to get it, the biggest problem was that they were thousands of miles apart, and given his current situation, it was impossible for him to go there in person.

So he thought for a while and said, "I have never seen the inner elixir, so I am afraid I can't help you with this."

After saying this, William left, full of curiosity and wanting to continue asking questions.

When they arrived at Qinghe County, Jiang Li said to him, "You'd better have less contact with Edward in the future. You are useless now. If you go there, you might just deliver food to him. As for other industrial things, you should look for other people. If that doesn't work, other countries can be fine!"

"I heard that Germany was badly beaten during World War I, and they might need a sponsor like me. If you have a chance, can you help me contact them? I can try to buy some industrial machinery and technology from them."

William nodded when he heard this. "Okay then, I will go ask other powerful nobles if they can find someone to replace Earl Edward. If not, I will contact other countries."

After William finished speaking, he mentioned again the three-way division of the world he mentioned a few years ago, "Jiang, you should have heard that Japan has made a big move now, and now it has occupied most of the Northeast."

"Now is the best time for us to execute the plan we made a few years ago. As long as you nod your head now, I will immediately go back and contact the British upper echelons. With the support of our British Empire, you will definitely be able to restore the glory of your ancestors and build a strong country!"

Hearing William say this, Jiang Li instinctively frowned, but then his expression eased a little, "I'm afraid this is not a good idea. After all, with my current strength, I can't control such a large territory. What's more, the attitude of the Japanese side is obviously to occupy the whole of China, and they may not agree to such conditions!"

Jiang Li's words were obviously a polite refusal, but William, a British man, couldn't tell that. He thought Jiang Li agreed, but had some concerns in his heart.

So he stood up excitedly to comfort her, "Don't worry, Jiang. When I go back, I can ask Britain to give you a large amount of weapons, ammunition and various industrial assistance. I will also send people to negotiate with the island country. You just need to wait for my good news!"

Jiang Li felt even more helpless after hearing this, and didn't say much, but changed the subject and talked to him about some gossip.

When William boarded the ship and left the next day, Ah San came up to him and asked, "Commander, are you just going to let him go like this?"

"I think this guy is still intent on destroying us, and has always been planning to split up Central China. We can't just let him go!"

Jiang Li was processing the intelligence in his hand, writing something without raising his head, and said, "It's not the right time yet. Our power is not strong enough at the moment. There is no need to create an enemy. Isn't he going to give us a large amount of weapons and industrial assistance?"

"Just wait until these things arrive before turning against them!"

Ah San nodded upon hearing this, "That's true."

"So next we have to mobilize our troops on a large scale and try to expand our territory two or three times before then, so that we can have a chance of winning!"

Jiang Li finished speaking and took out what he had just written. "Send this to Han Yong by telegram and ask him to send someone to contact other sellers. Britain is probably unreliable. We have to find other countries for imports in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Asan saluted and turned away, while Jiang Li once again planned the next direction of attack on the map.

The first place he thought of was Guangxi, which was at a suitable distance from Guangdong, and was relatively poor and had tough people. If he could get help from the wolf soldiers, it would be of great help to his next plan.
