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

But this was all planned. Just as they passed by the ambush place of Jiang Li and others, Jiang Li shouted an order and a large number of wooden stakes swung down, knocking the horse thieves to the ground.

Seeing them fall off their horses, the gunmen who had been preparing for a long time immediately opened fire, killing and wounding eight or nine on the spot. At this time, the young and strong men who had surrounded the bandits from both sides had also arrived, and about two hundred people fought with the remaining less than ten bandits.

Jiang Li speechlessly ordered his men to put away their guns and move forward for close combat.

As soon as they came into contact with the young and strong people, there were heavy casualties. These horse thieves were not only invulnerable to swords and guns but also had excellent martial arts. In just a few moves, they killed the villagers so badly that they dared not move forward.

Jiang Li ordered his men to use lassoes to pull them apart and defeat them one by one. Now, even if these horse thieves were extremely strong, they could not withstand the drag of seven or eight people.

They were dragged to a place where they could not punish the criminals. Jiang Li held the "Golden Cudgel" and used all his magic power to hit them on the head, instantly splitting their heads open and killing them.

Seeing this, Aqiang and Ade also took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but they had neither magic power nor magic weapons, so how could they break the defense? Their chop on the horse thieves' heads and bodies only made scratching sounds.

These two guys were almost caught and killed, but fortunately other young and strong men pulled them back and saved their lives.

Jiang Li shouted "Okay!" and then he hit them one by one like playing whack-a-mole. Even if some of them dodged, it was just a matter of hitting them again. In a blink of an eye, he killed five or six people.

Uncle Jiu also killed two horse thieves at this time. Now only the female leader and two small leaders were left on the scene, so everyone immediately surrounded them.

But because the magic and martial arts of these three people were obviously stronger, no one dared to step forward for a while.

At this time Jiang Li also ran over to meet Uncle Jiu. The female leader cast a spell to knock the stones on the ground away and knocked down several people. Uncle Jiu stepped forward and fought a few moves with the female leader and found that her spell was very strange and difficult to deal with.

So he immediately asked someone to prepare boy's urine. Jiang Li of course couldn't help with this matter. He just stepped back two steps and whispered to his six gunmen to load the bullets. He also took out his Mauser pistol and prepared to be the sixth.

Jiang Li whispered to everyone, "When I start shooting, you guys shoot too. Focus your fire on the female leader and be careful not to hurt the villagers."

The six people whispered in response, "Okay Master, we understand."

At this time, the three people who used magic and pushed their iron skin and bones to the extreme immediately rushed towards Uncle Jiu. At Uncle Jiu's command, a large amount of boy's urine poured out towards the three people.

The two small leaders were drenched all over, but the female leader blocked it with her cloak. Seeing that her spell was broken, the female leader stepped forward, picked up the two people, and flew up from a century-old tree.

Jiang Li saw this and immediately shouted "Shoot."

Then she kept pulling the trigger and shooting, and the six people around her immediately opened fire at her. Unfortunately, these people reacted a little too slowly, and most of the bullets missed, but a few bullets still hit the female leader.

She had no choice but to abandon her two companions and escape alone with injuries.

The two small leaders were also hit by several bullets because they were too close. Fortunately, these monsters were strong and the bullets did not hit their vital parts, so they were still alive.

Aqiang and Ade were about to finish off the enemy, but Jiang Li quickly stopped them and said, "Keep them alive and lure out the female leader!"

Then he took out some medicine to stop their bleeding, and searched their bodies while no one was paying attention, and obtained several books with unfamiliar words and several small yellow croakers (one or two taels of gold bars, each worth thirty dollars), and then he searched the corpses and cleaned up the battlefield.

Finally, they collected a few books that they couldn't understand, more than a hundred dollars, six horse carcasses, thirteen good horses, some strange weapons that had been refined with evil magic, and some spellcasting materials. (Jiang Li said that he had seen all kinds of small yellow croakers.)

Finally, the group of people returned to the town happily. As for the seven or eight deaths and thirty or forty injured people, not many people knew whether they were happy or not.

When everyone returned to the town and learned that they had won the battle, they were overjoyed. However, when they learned that a female bandit leader had escaped, they became worried.

Seeing that everyone was a little uneasy, Jiang Li stepped out and said, "Don't worry about that female bandit for now. There are six dead horses here. If we don't deal with them soon, they will be wasted. I think we should set up a buffet tomorrow and have everyone happy."

Everyone was delighted when they heard this, and the mayor also stood up and said, "That's good. I can take out fifty dollars to buy some rice so that the villagers can have a full meal."

Afterwards, the gentry also contributed money and materials, and soon enough supplies were raised to hold a buffet, so everyone went home happily to sleep.

At this time, the mayor invited Uncle Jiu and Jiang Li into the restaurant. As for the horse carcasses, someone would naturally take care of them, and the horses would of course be properly accommodated.

Everyone sat down and the mayor said, "I wonder how badly the female bandit leader was injured. When will she come back for revenge?"

Uncle Jiu glanced at Jiang Li and motioned for him to explain. Jiang Li said, "The female bandit leader was shot two or three times, but none of them hit her vital parts. I think it would take a normal person more than a month to recover. But if she has any secret methods or medicines, I can't say for sure."

Everyone rolled their eyes when they heard this. It's the same as not saying anything!

However, Jiang Li said, "We have two hostages in our hands now. We just need to wait until after the banquet and find a time to publicly execute them. By then, she will panic and rush to rescue them without hesitation."

Everyone thought it made sense and said they would do it. But then Aqiang jumped out and said, "I saw that we collected so much money when we cleaned up the battlefield. Shouldn't we share it out?"

Uncle Jiu said at this time, "There were many casualties in the previous battle. I think this money should be used as their medical treatment and resettlement expenses!"

After hearing this, no one at the scene could object, and in the end, the decision was made happily.

...

The next morning, Uncle Jiu was in the ancestral hall applying medicine and bandaging the lightly wounded. Because it was too late last night, it was already early morning before the more seriously injured were treated, so they could only be treated the next day.

At this time, Uncle Jiu looked up and saw two figures in black robes walking past the door in a swagger. He took two steps forward and kicked two pieces of bamboo flying, hitting the two men in the back.

When he went forward to take a look, he found that they were the two apprentices he had just accepted. He was so angry that he gave them a scolding on the spot.

Jiang Li actually knew all this, but he didn't point it out, intending to teach them a lesson.

After a while, Uncle Jiu went to the toilet in a hurry to pee, but found that there was no toilet bucket. After being fooled by A Qiang, he had to pee in the bamboo tube that A Qiang had prepared in advance.

After the wounded were treated, the banquet began and everyone sat down to eat the buffet. This time the banquet was in the daytime, so Aqiang didn't get in trouble with the two little kids, Dabao and Xiaobao.
