Capítulo 46: 9,430 Points
Editor: Henyee Translations
Hong Tianqi gave in. He had to do so, he had no choice. This was for the sake of the reserve soldiers. They were new and innocent. They didn't do anything wrong, so they shouldn't be dragged into this and they shouldn't die just because of Hao Tian's mistake. If they had to die, they should die in the battle with the Monsters and the Barbarians.
Half an hour later, Hu Dong, Zhou Tianzhang and the others were released. A large carriage with wooden boxes also came with them. The boxes were full of herbs.
"Greetings, Chief."
"We didn't do our job well. Please punish us."
Hu Dong and the others weren't hurt and still looked good. When they saw Jiang Li, they immediately knelt anxiously.
"I'll put this behind me for now. Do better next time," Jiang Li said. "Get up."
"Yes, Chief." Hu Dong and the others replied.
"Chief Jiang, your men and all of your stuff are here. We're returning them to you now," Hong Tianqi said.
"Thank you, Instructor Hong." Jiang Li smiled. He had got what he wanted. "Right, can you tell me where the City Lord and Commander Hao Tian went? I'm very curious. Why did they leave only the reserve soldiers at the base?"
"It's none of your business," Hong Tianqi said. "If there's nothing else I can do for you, please leave."
"Haha, goodbye, then." Jiang Li nodded and waved. Hu Dong and the rest of the members left the base of the City Guards with the carriage."
"All of the members of the Sirius Gang are here."
"That's Hu Dong and Zhou Tianzhang. All the detained members and stuff of the Sirius Gang have returned. Looks like the Sirius Gang didn't lose anything."
"Is the Sirius Gang that strong? Even the City Guards yield to them? And they gave Jiang Li back his men and stuff."
"Nothing like this has happened in the past."
"From now on, the Sirius Gang will be the leader of the four powerful gangs in Yongan City."
The onlookers whispered. They were in awe of the Sirius Gang.
After all, no matter how strong the gangs were in the past, they could never beat the City Guards. And today, the Sirius Gang did so. They broke into the base of the City Guards and forced them to return their men and stuff. This incident astonished the entire Yongan City.
"Well…" By the time Hua Tian came with the members of the Tianmen Gang, everything had ended. They only saw Jiang Li leaving the base of the City Guards with the members of the Sirius Gang.
"What happened?" Hua Tian was stunned. "There's no smell of blood. Did they not fight? Did Jiang Li retreat? No, there's a large carriage full of boxes, and Hu Dong and the others. The City Guards released them? How come? When did they become so nice?"
"Chief Hua, we should be glad they didn't fight. At least they avoided an internal dispute." Long Chongzhen was also here. "Jiang Li made the City Guards yield, meaning that his power has already gone beyond our expectations. We should be careful with him from now on."
"We must obey him."
"Gentlemen, I have something important to tell you," Yu Shulan said. "My men heard that the City Lord and Commander Hao Tian left the city with three thousand official guards and a thousand elites."
"Really?" Long Chongzhen looked up. "Do you know where they're going?"
"…"
Yu Shulan shook her head.
"I was wondering why the City Guards gave in. It's because only the reserve soldiers were left at the base. Jiang Li went there at a good time," Hua Tian said.
…
At the Sirius Gang.
Jiang Li and the others had returned to the headquarters.
"Chief, here's the shopping list and the remaining money." Hu Dong gave Jiang Li the list and money.
"Hm." Jiang Li took them.
There were two hundred thousand taels of silver left, meaning that Hu Dong spent eight hundred thousand on the herbs. Jiang Li was content and he glanced over the list.
"Hu Dong, Zhou Tianzhang, let me ask you something. Are you familiar with Qingshan Valley?" Jiang Li asked.
"Qingshan Valley." Hu Dong and Zhou Tianzhang looked at each other. Hu Dong then said, "Chief, Qingshan Valley is quite far from Yongan City and it's extended from the Qingshan Mountains. The Qingshan Mountains is the border of the Qian Dynasty and the Red Eyebrow Empire. So, we're quite familiar with it."
"Hm, that's great." Jiang Li looked up. He had read the herb list. With so many herbs, he could convert a large number of energy points again to make tons of meches.
"I'll give you another mission." Jiang Li put down the list.
"Sure, Chief." Hu Dong and Zhou Tianzhang bowed.
"Go to Qingshan Valley." Jiang Li said.
"Go to Qingshan Valley?" Hu Dong was shocked.
"Why, Chief?" Zhou Tianzhang asked.
"When you're there, you'll know." Jiang Li didn't answer Zhou Tianzhang's question. "I'll send someone to go with you."
"Wang Long!" Jiang Li yelled.
"Here." Wang Long entered.
"Gather your company and go to Qingshan Valley with Hu Dong and Zhou Tianzhang," Jiang Li said.
"Got it." Wang Long nodded.
"Go now." Jiang Li waved.
"Yes, Chief." Although Hu Dong and Zhou Tianzhang were confused, they bowed to Jiang Li and left the assembly hall right away.
"I guess the Monsters have already started moving." Jiang Li sat down and mumbled, "Their plan was to attack after three days, but Dugu Huangcheng and Hao Tian left Yongan City with the City Guards today."
"If that's true, why did the Monsters move early?" Jiang Li pondered. He thought that maybe Qing Ya being caught was the reason why the Monsters moved early. After all, Qing Ya was quite important. In fact, she was indeed important.
"Let's just wait for Hu Dong and the others to arrive in Qingshan Valley and look at the situation first. If they're already on their way, I should also be prepared."
Jiang Li cleared his mind.
"Wang Yan." Jiang Li turned around and said, "Take a few perfected-stage Cold Weapon Meches and Intel Meches to hide near the government office and keep an eye on Yang Zike. Right, and Zhang Ling as well."
"Got it." Wang Yan nodded and left with three Cold Weapon Meches of perfected-stage level one.
"By the way, would Zhang Ling be a problem as well?" Jiang Li massaged his eyes. "Being able to work between Dugu Huangcheng and Yang Zike, he's certainly no simple man. Besides, he's been missing during this period of time." He said he could get my herbs back, but I had to do it by myself after all. It's exhausting to think about these things."
Jiang Li swayed his head. He had a headache.
After leaving the assembly hall, Jiang Li went to the Chief's compound. All the herbs were put here. Herbs that were worth eight hundred thousand taels of silver basically equaled all the normal herbs in the large Chambers of Commerce in Yongan City.
"Convert these herbs to energy points." Jiang Li controlled the Dominator Panel.
Swish! A white light flashed and all the herbs in front of Jiang Li disappeared. They were all converted to energy points. The courtyard immediately became spacious.
"Conversion successful. Received 8000 energy points." A notice flashed in front of Jiang Li.
In the window, the number of energy points changed from 1,430 to 9,430 points. It almost reached ten thousand.
"I finally have enough energy points." Jiang Li looked at the data on the window and was thrilled.
