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

Therefore, if these people are counted, the 400,000 is neither too few nor too few.

But Partridge Whistle didn't know all this. He just thought that the 400,000 intelligence agents Jiang Li mentioned were all regular personnel.

So this time, he immediately believed Jiang Li, thinking that he might really have news about the Zhuochen Pearl.

So he immediately raised his question, "If that's the case, then what price do I need to pay to get the Marshal's help?"

Seeing that he finally believed her, Jiang Li immediately smiled and said to him, "I've said it before. I've taken a fancy to the treasure in this bottle of mountains. I plan to take it out and use it as a place to settle the refugees and develop a place. I'd like to ask you to help me."

"Afterwards, I will introduce you to the masters of Mount Mao. If they are unable to remove the curse for you, I will tell you where the Zhuchen Pearl is."

"When you have lifted the curse, you will come and work for me until the world is unified again and China is no longer invaded by foreign enemies. Then you can decide whether to stay or leave!"

After hearing this, Zhe Gu Shao looked at his fellow disciples behind him, and then the three of them nodded to each other. After getting their opinions, Queqiao Shao readily agreed.

Jiang Li was very happy to hear that Partridge Whistle agreed. Partridge Whistle was the leader of the Moving Mountain lineage. In the future, there would be a chance for him to train some disciples, and the future tomb-raiding work would be much easier.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li's joy was beyond words, and he then discussed the arrangements for entering the mountain with Partridge Whistle Chen Yulou.

After the discussion was over, he asked people to purchase the necessary supplies. At this time, Chen Yulou saw the powerful army and the more than a hundred extraordinary people brought by Jiang Li.

Seeing this, he was immediately shocked and asked Jiang Li nervously, "Marshal, you made such a big scene, but do you know what is in the bottle mountain?"

Jiang Li said indifferently, "It's no big deal. There's just a centipede monster in the mountain that has been practicing for hundreds of years. It's no big deal!"

When Chen Yulou and the people around them heard this, they were completely stunned. How could a centipede demon who had practiced for hundreds of years be so arrogant to say such a thing? However, they did not have the courage to question Jiang Li.

Seeing their timid expressions, Jiang Li immediately comforted them, "Don't worry, everyone. The masters of Mount Mao will take care of this monster. You just need to go into the cave and check if there are any traps."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

...

Early the next morning, Jiang Li led his men to Pingshan.

When they were about to approach Pingshan, Jiang Li suddenly ordered the troops to set up camp, and then ordered a team of Taoist soldiers, several Maoshan Taoists and translators, plus Partridge Whistle, to go to the Miao village to buy back the Angry Chicken.

Speaking of the Angry Chicken, he didn't want to use it to deal with the centipede monster. A monster like this that has only been practicing for a few hundred years and has not yet transformed should be easily subdued with the people from the Supernatural Bureau he brought with him.

Therefore, they wanted to use this Angry Chicken as a breeding chicken. After all, although the spiritual chicken is good, its bloodline is not outstanding.

But this Angry Chicken is different. It is said that it has a trace of Phoenix blood. Perhaps it can be used to breed a few spiritual chickens with Phoenix blood.

Thanks to the guidance of an intelligence officer who had been active in the local area for a long time, Partridge Whistle and others who were heading to the Miao village quickly arrived at the Miao village.

After a lot of explanation, they finally understood the whole story through an interpreter. Finally, they spent several baskets of salt and iron tools to exchange the Angry Chicken from the old herbal farmer named Badu.

When those Maoshan Taoists saw the Angry Chicken, they immediately realized its extraordinaryness.

And Partridge Whistle could naturally see it, and in his heart, he believed what Jiang Li said a little more. After all, in such an isolated Miao village, he could even know the whereabouts of a chicken.

Then it’s not surprising to know where the Zhuochen Pearl is.

Before leaving, Partridge Whistle was cautious and hired a Miao hunter to act as a guide. Then the group went back to join the main force.

By the time they returned to the main group with the Angry Chicken, it was already late, so Jiang Li ordered his men to light a fire, cook, and rest for a night before setting off again.

...

The next morning, as the roosters crowed, the 20,000 people got up one after another. After breakfast, they headed towards Pingshan under the leadership of the old hunter.

At this time, everyone finally understood why Jiang Li brought so many people here. It was because the terrain in western Hunan was really complicated.

In addition to mountains, hills and valleys, there are also many karst caves. These caves are very hidden under the cover of dead branches and leaves for thousands of years. The snakes, insects, rats and ants make this journey extremely dangerous.

But Jiang Li's response to this was to cut a path through the mountains and build bridges over the rivers. With 20,000 troops leading the way, Jiang Li and his men finally arrived at the foot of Pingshan Mountain after three days.

After he arrived here, he immediately arranged for people to build a camp and prepared to stay here for ten days or half a month.

At this time, Jiang Li brought Chen Yulou, Queqiao Shao, Xie Changfeng and others to a cliff. Chen Yulou immediately asked, "May I ask, Marshal, do you know the exact location of the tomb?"

Jiang Li shook his head, "No hurry, let's lure the centipede monster out and kill it first, then we can go into the mountains and transport treasures without any worries!"

After hearing Jiang Li's words, Chen Yulou and Queqiao Shao had no objections. After all, they didn't have to take any action, so they certainly wouldn't care.

After Jiang Li finished speaking, he nodded to Xie Changfeng beside him. Xie Changfeng understood and immediately took his men to prepare.

They took out various magical instruments and flags, and soon set up a demon-trapping and soul-locking formation on the ground. Then they killed a few pigs and let their blood slowly flow down the cliff.

At the same time, he took out a lot of chicken feathers and threw them off the cliff, hoping to arouse this guy's murderous intent. Of course, these actions were the work of those independent cultivators who came from wild backgrounds.

Xie Changfeng, who was born in Maoshan, took a much simpler approach. He simply tied a dozen huge roosters, which were nested with blood mushrooms, in the center of the formation.

He then lit a few incense sticks and stuck them on the cliff, letting the smoke flow into the valley.

At this time, Miss Hong, who was standing by, could no longer hold back her curiosity and asked Jiang Li, "Marshal Jiang, why are those Taoist priests checking a few sticks of incense for? Aren't they praying to the gods?"

Jiang Li was amused when he heard this, "It seems that Miss Hong has a misunderstanding about Taoism. She just thinks they are a bunch of charlatans!"

"Isn't it true? None of the Taoists I've seen have real skills!" Red Girl asked back.

"That may be because Miss Hong has never seen many Taoist priests. Taoist Xie and the others are not praying to the gods. The incense they just lit is called demon-luring incense, which is very tempting to demons!"

"As long as the monster can smell this scent, it will most likely come out to search for it, and then it will naturally enter the formation and attack those big roosters!"
