"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Nalan Yuanshu, Admiral of Guangzhou... uncovered the conspiracy of the Yihe Quan remnants... and is now promoted to General Annan to assist Liu Yongfu in guarding the Qing Dynasty."
In the Guangzhou government office, Nalan Yuanshu knelt down. An angel rushed from the Forbidden City holding an imperial edict and slowly spoke out Nalan Yuanshu's path to promotion. However, the angel's words echoed in his ears. Nalan Yuanshu
My heart is getting colder and colder.
General Annan, is that a promotion? When Liu Yongfu led thousands of water divisions in Foshan, he was feared by others, and then he was sent to Annan. It has been at least ten years now.
It can be said that being promoted to Annan was a disguised form of demoting him.
At this time, Nalan Yuanshu suddenly thought of the scene in the government office that day.
"So that's it, if you think I'm in the way, you're going to kick me away, right?" Nalan Yuanshu's hands and feet were cold, but there was not much indignation in his heart, but instead, he was just sad.
Has the majestic Qing Empire fallen to this point? The promotion of a general can be influenced by several businessmen. How long can such a Qing Dynasty last?
"Lord Nalan, why don't you accept the edict and express your gratitude?" After reading the edict, the angel said softly to Nalan Yuanshu, who was bowing his head below.
Nalan Yuanshu came back to his senses. Although the depression on his face could not be concealed, his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty in his heart had never changed and could not be changed.
"My lord, I would like to thank Your Majesty and Lafayette for their kindness." Nalan Yuanshu bowed his head, received the imperial edict, and lay on the ground like a puddle of mud.
The angel glanced at the ignorant Nalan Yuanshu below, snorted coldly, and walked out.
"Sir, get up quickly." When the angel's figure disappeared, Nalan Yuanshu's adjutant at the side quickly stepped forward and helped him up.
"Sanfu, where will the day come when our Qing Dynasty will stand up? Where will it be?" Nalan Yuanshu looked up to the sky and roared. He grabbed the imperial edict in his hand and wanted to throw it to the ground. However, with his arms raised well, he fell slowly.
Can't come down.
"Master, let's stay away from this whirlpool. Although Annan is remote, he still has the general here with him. Why not be free and at ease from now on?" Sanfu said to Nalan Yuanshu sincerely.
"Oh, you don't understand, you don't understand." Nalan Yuanshu shook his head and smiled bitterly. He pushed Sanfu away and handed him the imperial edict. He stumbled out of the government office and came to a dilapidated tavern, preparing to get drunk.
One game.
Although Annan is good, how can it compare to the Central Plains? As long as he still carries Nalan's surname and goes to Annan, he will be discrediting his ancestors.
"The Admiral is very elegant." Just as the waiter in the shop brought a few jars of good wine, a man suddenly sat down on the table. The familiar voice had the same indifference as always, as if there was nothing in the world that could move him.
"Jiang Li." Nalan Yuanshu raised his eyebrows, shook his head as he looked at the visitor, picked up a jar of wine and drank from it. His whole body was like a madman, and he still had the same look of scolding Fang Qiu before.
Jiang Li shook his head, picked up a jar of wine, poured a bowl, and tasted it slowly.
"There is also skill in drinking. If you drink like this, wouldn't you lose the sweetness and aroma of the wine?"
"boom……"
"Jiang Li, if you have something to say, just say it, if you have something to say, fart, don't bother me here." Nalan Yuanshu threw the wine jar in his hand to the ground and shouted angrily.
"Annan is a good place. The people there are very obedient. Unlike here, they are so busy all day long that they can't stand. There is no revolutionary party, there is no Boxer Boxing, and basically no one will oppose you." Jiang Li did not.
After paying attention to Nalan Yuanshu's words, he continued to talk to himself.
"Jiang Li, President Jiang, you are the most insidious, hateful, and unscrupulous villain I have ever seen. I, Nalan Yuanshu, blocked your way, so you rushed me to Annan. You succeeded.
, But don't be complacent, I will come back sooner or later, and I will personally cut you into pieces to repay my hatred for today." Nalan Yuanshu pointed at Jiang Li and said in a deep voice, his tone was extremely harsh, but in his eyes
But there was no trace of murderous intent.
"Okay, I will wait for you in Guangdong, and hope to meet again in the future." Jiang Li suddenly chuckled, stood up, and said to Nalan Yuanshu.
When he was about to walk out of the tavern, Nalan Yuanshu's voice suddenly sounded from behind,
"Jiugong Zhenren's crime is unforgivable, but the followers of the White Lotus Sect are all poor people. I hope you won't do anything too extreme."
Jiang Li's body paused, and he now stood at the door of the tavern, raising his head slightly.
The beautiful sunshine shone on his body, as if covering him with a layer of golden sand, making him look extremely sacred.
After a long time, his voice slowly sounded.
"Master Nalan is right. Jiang is indeed a villain, but I always have a bottom line when doing things."
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Li's figure had disappeared at the door of the tavern.
"Goodbye." Nalan Yuanshu raised the wine glass in his hand with drunken eyes and raised his hand slightly.
The next day, Nalan Yuanshu went to Annan to take office with only Sanfu and one loyal servant.
On the city wall of Guangzhou, Jiang Li, who was dressed in a smart outfit, looked at the two people walking away and sighed quietly.
After all, Nalan Yuanshu did not die like in the plot, but was transferred to Annan by a trick. His departure made Jiang Li understand that he was almost leaving.
"Ah Fu, go to Baozhilin and tell Feihong that it's time." Jiang Li said to Ah Fu beside him.
"Yes, Master." Ah Fu nodded, turned around and left.
"White Lotus Sect." Jiang Li muttered, turned around and walked down the city wall, walking alone in the direction of Chaotian Temple.
Half an hour later, Jiang Li walked to Chaotian Temple in the east of Guangzhou City. At this time, the place was already surrounded by thousands of musketeers. At the front were General Guangzhou, Huang Feihong and Su Can.
Although Su Can is still very stubborn, he is kind-hearted and extremely serious in his work. He promised Rushuang to get the top martial arts exam, and he must do it. It just so happens that there is a master at the level of the Ten Tigers who is willing to guide him.
Now he lives in Baozhilin almost every day.
"General, Feihong, Acan." Jiang Li walked over and greeted the three of them.
"Master Jiugong is refusing to be arrested now. The White Lotus cultists are a bunch of lunatics, blocking the way in with their flesh and blood. If you want to get in and catch it, you must kill all the White Lotus cultists. This..." Guangzhou General said
With a sad face, he looked at Jiang Li.
"Leave this matter to me and Feihong." Jiang Li pondered slightly, feeling that it would be safest to call in directly.
"No, President Jiang, there are at least hundreds of White Lotus cultists inside. It is too dangerous for the two of you to go in." General Guangzhou said.
"Yeah, in my opinion, if we don't attack, we should block this place. There is a shortage of food inside. There are hundreds of them. How long can they hold on? Everyone inside will be so hungry and weak in a few days.
At that time, we can catch them all." Su Can said.
"It seems that you have really worked hard these days. Boy, I am very optimistic about you." Jiang Li and Huang Feihong looked at each other, chuckled and patted Su Can on the shoulder.
"But there's no need to go to so much trouble. The White Lotus cultists inside are just a bunch of rabble. The real enemies are just Master Jiugong and a few of his disciples. The two of us are enough."
Saying that, Jiang Li looked at Su Can with a smile in his eyes, "Boy, didn't you ask Feihong a few days ago how strong he is? Do you want to go and see?"
"Okay." Su Can's eyes lit up. He had also learned martial arts before, such as Tiger and Crane Double Shape and Mantis Fist, but he had never seen the strength of the Guangdong Ten Tigers. He was very curious. Now
If I have a chance, I'll still go take a look.
"Well, let's say goodbye. A-chan's martial arts skills are not as good as Master Huang's. Don't cause trouble to you two." The Guangzhou general on the side jumped in his heart and quickly interjected.
"Oh, Dad, keep your heart in your belly." Su Can patted General Guangzhou's chest.
"As long as my master is here, my safety will definitely be fine. Master, don't you think so?"
"It's okay to go and have a look. A-Can's kung fu is now considered to be on the threshold, but his combat experience is still a bit lacking. Going in can also increase his knowledge. With A Li and I protecting him, nothing will happen to him."
Huang Feihong glanced at Jiang Li helplessly and said slowly.
Seeing this, General Guangzhou finally stopped obstructing them, and the three of them passed through the blockade of officers and soldiers and walked into Chaotian Temple.
