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

But he didn't feel at ease at this moment, because he knew that these cultists had caused such a big fuss.

There was no way it could end like this. The evil energy he had felt before was definitely not something that could be emitted by these wandering souls that were not even evil spirits.

So he immediately asked someone to use the telegraph on the car to send a telegram to the garrison in the nearest county, asking them to immediately gather the garrisons from several surrounding counties and reinforce where he was.

He also contacted and called the garrison in Dongshan County, asking them to tell Uncle Jiu that they were trapped and ask him to bring people to rescue them.

As the beeping sound rang out, the order for help was quickly issued, and the defenders of Shanyang County, a hundred miles away, successfully received the telegram.

Let me explain here. Due to the continuous expansion of the army in recent years, in order to ensure timely communication, Jiang Li equipped each county with a telegraph machine. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to ask for help this time.

Although there is a flying crane communication method in Maoshan magic, Jiang Li has now left Maoshan and can no longer communicate with the ancestors of Maoshan, so the effectiveness of this method is greatly reduced.

Secondly, he is now in Guangxi, thousands of miles away from Uncle Jiu, so this Taoist magic cannot contact Uncle Jiu at all.

Having said that, after receiving this order, Shanyang County quickly sent a telegram to the nearby counties and dispatched messengers to gather the garrisons in various towns. As soon as the troops were gathered, they could set off.

As the news spread to various counties, a large number of counties began to gather troops, as if they were going to fight a big war. This made the spies sent by various major forces very anxious.

They immediately got busy and used various channels to send the message to their superiors, but as the saying goes, mistakes are made in a hurry.

These spies were so panicked that the subsequent handling was naturally not clean. Many people exposed their whereabouts and were caught red-handed.

When Jiang Li's army was mobilized on a large scale, the surrounding warlords felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. They were well aware of Jiang Li's development momentum in recent years.

He took over the whole of Guangxi in just a few months. They had no way of stopping such strength. Now he was going to use troops again, and these warlords couldn't even think of resisting.

They can only hope that Jiang Li’s target is not them, so that they can get away with it for a while. If they are unlucky enough to be picked on, the worst that can happen is that they can just run away.

That's right, they ran away instead of surrendering, because they had heard of Jiang Li's policy. Although it was not to kill them all, for these evil warlords, their fate would definitely be death.

...

After receiving the order, the counties quickly passed it to Guangdong. Within just a few hours, the garrison in Dongshan County received the order.

Naturally, they did not dare to delay and quickly sent someone to inform Uncle Jiu. It was four o'clock in the morning at this time, and Uncle Jiu was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, he heard Wencai banging on the door in panic and shouting as he did so.

"Master, Master, please wake up! There's a soldier outside. He said Junior Brother Jiang Li is in danger and asked you to save him!"

Uncle Jiu, who was still confused, immediately got out of bed without even putting on his clothes or shoes, and opened the door to inquire about the situation when he heard that Jiang Li was in danger.

But Wencai was an unreliable person, so how could he explain things clearly? Uncle Jiu really couldn't stand this guy's incoherent way of speaking.

He pushed him away and went to the main hall to find the soldier who delivered the message.

"What happened to your Marshal Jiang? Why did he ask you to come to me for help?"

The messenger actually didn't know the specific situation, he just handed the letter for help from his superior to Uncle Jiu.

Seeing that he couldn't say anything, Uncle Jiu stopped asking and just opened the letter and started reading.

But he was shocked when he saw it, because what was recorded in the letter was really horrifying.

It turned out that in the chaotic transmission from one level to another, Jiang Li's original words for help had already been completely changed beyond recognition.

So what Uncle Jiu saw was that Jiang Li led 500 soldiers to Guangxi to wipe out a cult, but was ambushed and besieged by an evil god, who led thousands of evil spirits and cultists.

At this time, both sides have suffered heavy casualties, and even the river water beside them has been dyed red. He is now desperately resisting, hoping that Uncle Jiu can bring people to rescue as soon as possible.

This letter may seem fine to outsiders, but in the eyes of practitioners like Uncle Jiu, it is a crisis like the collapse of the sky and the earth.

Not to mention anything else, just a few thousand evil spirits could kill ten or eight geomancers, not to mention the evil god.

You have to know that Jiang Li's power is so great now that he can fight alone in Guangdong and Guangxi, and he governs tens of millions of people. His luck is even stronger than that of some emperors in ancient times.

He didn't even dare to imagine what level of cultivation the evil god had to have to have the guts to attack Jiang Li.

Once Jiang Li dies, his power is likely to collapse, and who knows how many people will be killed or injured.

Thinking of this, he no longer cared about his own image, and immediately knelt in front of the statue of the founder, respectfully reporting the matter to the founder, hoping to ask the founder's help to summon all Maoshan disciples to go to Guangxi for rescue.

After he reported this to the master, Uncle Jiu quickly received the master's instructions, "We must do our best to save Jiang Li. Some time ago, some disciples serving in the underworld sent news that a large number of people died due to the constant wars in the world of the living in recent years."

"The underworld is already short of manpower, and a group of old ghosts took the opportunity to recruit troops and stir up trouble down there."

"To the extent that the underworld is now unable to take care of itself, there are wandering ghosts everywhere who are unable to enter reincarnation smoothly. If the relatively stable Guangdong and Guangxi regions are also plunged into chaos, the pressure on the underworld will be even greater."

"When the underworld comes to a complete standstill, the Yin and Yang worlds will be in big trouble!"

Uncle Jiu was extremely shocked when he heard this. In his impression, the underworld was the orthodox netherworld, so how could it not be able to deal with some old ghosts?

But just as he was about to continue asking, he was interrupted by the Grandmaster, "Okay, let's talk about this later. Now go and prepare and set off for the rescue as soon as possible."

"I will cast a spell to send a message to all the disciples of Maoshan. This time, even if we have to mobilize the entire Maoshan, we will rescue your disciple!"

When Uncle Jiu heard this, he didn't ask any more questions and immediately told Zhe Gu and Simu the news. He also used the art of sound transmission to notify Qianhe, who had brought his disciples down the mountain to catch ghosts.

As for why Simu was in Qingyun Temple, it was all thanks to Jiang Li's good governance, which restored order to the chaotic Guangdong.

Nowadays, when common people die, they generally don’t need Taoist priests to carry their corpses, so Simu’s corpse-carrying business has declined a lot, and he spends most of his time in the mountains.

But in this way, he won't have to run around all the time, and will have more time to stay in the mountains and practice. As to whether this is good or bad, it's hard to say.
