The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

"Haha, Brother Chao Rong is really lucky today. He got such a big hand in just two rounds."

On the side, Xiao Feng saw Zhang Ye's card pattern, looked at him with admiration, and began to count the money.

As for Mo Tianhua, he looked as if he had eaten shit. His face turned ashen, but he was helpless. He could only suppress his anger and arrange for his men to go and get the money.

He was feeling quite aggrieved at the moment. He couldn't beat the other person in a fight, and he couldn't beat the other person in a card game either.

He lost both his life and money. All kinds of bad luck happened to him.

"What are you looking at? Pay up!"

Zhang Ye looked at the depressed Xu Linlin and teased.

"Don't you have this little money yet?"

"no!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Linlin raised her head with confidence and retorted very firmly.

"I only make a dozen yuan a month, how can I afford to pay you so much!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you have to understand, I won!" Facing her "ugly" face, Zhang Ye emphasized: "It's okay to not have money, but can you not be so stubborn?"

"I just lost some money to you, not my life, so why do you care about my temper?"

Xu Linlin stiffened her neck with an expression of dissatisfaction that could make anyone angry to death.

Zhang Ye was too lazy to bother with this little brat. He just put the money he won in front of her and chuckled softly.

"Take it, keep it as capital, so you don't have to go out and play cards with no money and be laughed at by others."

"You, you..." Xu Linlin, who had been so arrogant just a second ago, suddenly had a flicker of joy in her eyes when she saw the pile of sword energy in front of her. She lowered her head and asked happily, "Are you really giving it to me?"

"What? Why would I lie to you about such a small thing?" Zhang Ye continued to sort the cards and took advantage of the break to jokingly say, "It's not my money anyway, just use Huabei."

"Hehehe, alright then..." Xu Linlin hugged the mountain of sword energy in front of her, a bright smile appeared on her little face, but she had to pretend to be reluctant.

A hand of Thirteen Yao, with a base bet of fifty yuan, even if I only won from two parties, it still amounted to several thousand yuan in cash.

A young girl like her doesn't usually have big personal expenses, so this money is enough for her to spend for a year or two.

……

More than an hour later, the game was still going on. It was like Zhang Ye had turned on a cheat. After the Thirteen Yao game, he had won big cards every time, and he could easily earn dozens of points.

This scene made Xiao Feng, who was sitting at the same table, feel helpless and heartbroken.

At first he thought it was just a symbolic card game, but he never expected that before the afternoon was over, he had already lost nearly 20,000 dollars.

This is because he has a wealthy family. If it were an ordinary person, he would have gone bankrupt long ago after losing so much.

drop by drop...

The sound of the transmitter never stopped, and the rich second-generations who were watching the fun in the rest area were more excited than each other.

They didn't care much about winning or losing the game, but preferred to focus on the battle situation in Jingshan County.

Moreover, these people were not idle either. They made a bet privately on who would win the battle, and the amount of the bet was quite astonishing.

"Kujo!"

Mo Tianhua, who lost nearly 30,000 yuan, threw a mahjong tile with an expressionless face, but his eyes were fixed on the door of the box, looking a little anxious.

He no longer cared about winning or losing the card game; his mind was full of the battle outside Jingshan County.

According to the time calculation, his mountain cannon should have been transported to the designated location.

As long as these mountain cannons can be set up, the siege will be a sure victory.

bang...

At the critical moment, when several people were staring at the cards in front of them, Mo Tianhua's adjutant, with a panicked look on his face, stumbled and pushed open the door.

"Commander, something happened..."

"Say!"

Mo Tianhua was already in a bad mood, and after seeing his panic, he became even angrier and shouted through gritted teeth.

"Why are you so flustered? I'll deduct one month's salary from you so you'll learn your lesson!"

"Yes, sir!"

The adjutant suppressed his inner anxiety, stepped forward and answered, then leaned over to his ear and began to report.

"Brigade Commander, when our six-barrel mountain cannon was dragged to the border between Jingshan County and Fushui County, it was suddenly attacked by armed forces. Aside from a few soldiers who managed to escape, all of our weapons and equipment were looted and confiscated!"

"What!!?"

Mo Tianhua, who had been holding it in for half the afternoon, went berserk upon hearing this. He slapped the table and stared fiercely at Zhang Ye in front of him, wishing he could kill this guy on the spot.

The loss of six mountain cannons was far beyond his expectations.

If some people died and some bullets and shells were lost, he could still find a way to make up for it, but the loss of these six mountain cannons directly pinned him to the ground, making him unable to move.

There are only more than 30 of these things in the entire brigade, and all of them are the apple of the eye of the superior officers. In their eyes, each one is more important than their wife at home.

Now, a small-scale battle has been fought to this point, and the outcome is still unclear. The loss of these six mountain cannons really makes Mo Tianhua distressed, and he feels a little difficult to breathe.

He really had no place to get this thing, so he had to find a way to get it back, otherwise he would not be able to deal with the accountability of his superiors.

"Sir, latest battle report!"

Coincidentally, at this time, the latest situation came from Jingshan, and the information that Lu Shan had just translated attracted everyone's attention.

Especially those second-generation rich people, they rushed over, wanting to get accurate information as soon as possible to confirm the winner.

"On August 4th, the seventh year of the Republic of China, at 4:35 p.m., our troops successfully completed the bandit suppression operation outside Jingshan County after two hours and thirteen minutes. We killed ninety-eight bandits, captured one hundred and thirty-two, and seized a considerable amount of ammunition and supplies!"

"Win!?"

When Xiao Feng heard the news, his eyes were filled with great surprise and disbelief.

The county-level security group fought against the elite troops and actually won?

This result was beyond everyone's expectations. Even those young masters could not have imagined that the battle would end so quickly and cleanly.

In their minds, Zhang Ye had absolutely no chance of winning. The reason they made this bet was that they thought the Duan faction would provide support. What they wanted to see most was the fight between the Feng and Duan factions.

But what no one expected was that the battle ended so quickly before Duan's troops even set out.

"Haha, come on, pay up, pay up quickly!"

At this moment, the entire box fell into dead silence. Only Jiang Yan'er was smiling like a flower, her eyes narrowed into crescents, and she stretched out her hand to collect debts in front of several rich second-generations.

Not for any other reason, just because she was the only one in the audience who bet that Zhang Ye could win.

Originally, she was just thinking of playing around and wanting to help her friend out, but she didn't expect that she would actually guess right and win a huge sum of money.
