Chapter 48 Mission
014 couldn't understand why such a low-level sarcastic tone would appear on the Dragon Tiger Guard.
It's understandable that the county soldiers did this, since they were a bunch of brutes. But the promotion of the Dragon Tiger Cavalry isn't just about having martial arts skills.
Watching Commander Peng Chi reprimanding the two Tiger Cavalrymen who had attacked him, the yamen runner beside him asked, "Sir, should we go over and explain?"
"What they did in the past was just for my benefit. If I go to explain now, there will be even more situations to explain later. I don't have that much time."
014 shook his head.
This morning, two familiar names from the case files appeared at the county government office. One of them carried more than a dozen bloody and horrifying skeletons, while the other carried a wooden box containing a thick ledger.
If his prediction is correct, it should be a very troublesome matter. The people who are trying to stop him have already successfully controlled most of the forces in Gaoyang County that are targeting him.
Otherwise, these two people registered with the Dragon Tiger Guard would not have so brazenly walked into the trap.
"Don't bother watching their performance. The order has been given. Whether they are dragon riders or tiger riders, they have no choice but to obey. Let's go and deal with the immediate situation first."
014 glanced one last time at the bustling tiger's den, then pulled down the carriage curtain and headed towards the county government office.
"Alright, boss, everyone's gone. Stop acting, or it'll go too far."
Upon seeing 014's carriage disappear, one of the Tiger Riders immediately rushed towards Pengchi Road.
"Pah, you think I don't know? I'm disgusted by him. Wait, wait, I don't know what you're waiting for. You're so young but you're so arrogant. He's the one who's dead, what are you pretending for?"
Peng Chi spat on the ground.
"So what do we do now?"
"What else can we do? A higher-ranking official can crush you, and besides, he's more than one rank higher. We should just do as he asks and continue with the work we didn't finish yesterday."
Just don't get too scattered. Since he didn't specify a time, let's be cautious. We're keeping an eye on the gang members, but they're keeping an eye on us too. Yesterday's incident was a lesson; don't be careless again.
Peng Chi paused, then looked at the roster in his hand: "Nine people per team. Each team will carry a military flag and a magical artifact to break the formation. We must avoid being locked up again. The teams must maintain a distance where they can provide support within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
"clear."
The Tiger Cavalry suffered heavy losses yesterday, with several squads wiped out. However, the Tiger Cavalry has its own way of dealing with this situation. The assembled Tiger Cavalry quickly reorganized into new squads based on their strength and rank.
Just as Fu Que was about to enter a Tiger Rider squad according to the regulations, Peng Chi waved to him.
Fu Que walked through the crowd and came to Peng Chi, who was wearing a cloak. He stepped forward and said, "This humble servant, Fu Que, pays his respects to the Commander."
Upon hearing this, Peng Chi forced a smile and looked at Fu Que: "I originally wanted to give you a few days off, since you just returned from a desperate battle, but as you know, the situation is different now, so my decision doesn't count."
Fu Que shook his head and said, "It's a small matter. If I were the kind of person who would run away from trouble, I wouldn't have taken it upon myself to attack the Green Gang members. It seems that I was being reckless."
"Hey, you're the only one in the entire Tiger Cavalry who stood up for us. Your hands and feet are tied, you can't move."
Peng Chi looked around, a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "I heard that you obtained the inheritance of a deity from a previous dynasty, which is why you have your current strength?"
If others heard this, they might think that he was coveting this opportunity.
After all, the inheritance of a deity is a rare item used by the previous dynasty to establish its rule. For martial artists at the bottom, it is tantamount to crossing social classes on the spot.
Fu Que didn't react at all when he heard this.
When it comes to the inheritance of gods, no one understands it better than the Dragon Tiger Guards. Fu Que remembers that one of the duties of the Dragon Tiger Guards was to collect all the fragments of gods from the previous dynasty within the territory of Da Zhao.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. Even though Peng Chi is just a marginal figure in the Dragon Tiger Cavalry, he still has some understanding of the divine inheritance. It is already very good if one in a thousand people can be chosen. For most people, it is a deadly poison.
"That's true, but that divine inheritance is too dilapidated. I'm not sure which deity's inheritance it was. Perhaps we'll find out when we grow stronger."
Fu Que cupped his hands in greeting, his tone clear.
"Well, it's good that you know what's going on. Yesterday you were taken to Dragon Pool, so you must have met one of those three officials. After all, they came from the prefectural city and have a broader perspective, so I won't try to teach them anything."
After Peng Chi finished speaking, he paused for a moment before saying, "Judging from your aura, your injuries have stabilized. I was originally planning to open the treasury to get you a recovery pill, but now I can save it and record it as merit points. We can exchange it all together when things settle down."
Peng Chi was quite confident that Fu Que would survive to the end. But it made sense. To survive an almost certain death by ambush and even successfully turn the tables, his strength was already in the top tier in Gaoyang County, second only to Qi Refining Warriors.
"Thank you, sir. I will do my utmost to restore peace and order to Gaoyang County and live up to your expectations."
Fu Que said something that even gave him goosebumps.
"Since your captain and comrades have both died in the line of duty, you might as well not join the squad this time. You have a new mission."
Fu Que remained silent, waiting for what would happen next.
"Didn't you start a fishermen's mutual aid association in your spare time? The higher-ups are very interested in it and want you to continue expanding it in this model, but not in the name of Tiger Riders. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Are you planning to let me, as a member of the gang, continue to integrate the gangs and fishermen in Guaizidu and even the surrounding areas?"
"But isn't this against the regulations? I'm not actually involved in the current fishermen's mutual aid association. Most of the profits they receive go to themselves, and the rest is intended for taxation."
"Of course, it would have been against the rules before, but not anymore. After that lord gave the order, it's no exaggeration to say that there are no taboos in this small area of Gaoyang County. Since you have the will and the ability, then go ahead and do it."
Peng Chi took out two or three folded sheets of Xuan paper from his pocket, and his tone returned to calm: "If you feel unsure, take a look at what's inside. That lord said that since you can understand the Mutual Aid Association without a teacher, you should also understand what's inside."
From this moment on, you no longer need to report to the tiger's den. You have only one task: to establish a new chamber of commerce according to the requirements above.
He emphasized the words "go ahead and do it".
"Understood, I shall take my leave."
Fu Que bowed again and accepted the task requirements handed to him by Peng Chi with both hands.
