However, Xiong Wencai's group didn't return to the imperial court to receive their deaths, they instead wanted him to use all his power to recruit and bring back the occupied city. In addition, there was another imperial edict bestowing upon the three soldiers of the Heavenly Valve Army: Qin Baisheng, Li Lianjie, and Gongzhi Qinglong.

When Xiong Wencai heard about this arrangement, he was overjoyed. However, he was also worried: I don't have the ability to deal with these bandits, so how can I recruit them? Xiong Wencai raised his doubts and asked about how the imperial court had not sent any troops to assist them. He was frightened and asked how the eunuch had managed to get here.

The eunuch replied, "Mr. Xiong, you are joking with us. The bandits have already fallen, and we can only wait for you to take back the city."

Xiong Wencai was extremely surprised. He took out the notice that he had found in the village he came from and carefully examined it. A strange feeling came over him. His intuition was wrong, but what could he say?

After that, Xiong Wencai had no choice but to set up a banquet, give them a round of hospitality, and then inspect the outskirts of Fuzhou City to find out more about the military situation. As expected, the bandit army's barracks had already disappeared, and according to the scouts' reports, the various cities that the bandit forces were occupying had already been allowed to send in their troops.

Xiong Wencai did not understand, why would these bandits surrender to the city, he could not figure out the weirdness behind it, so he had to contact the Heavenly Valve Army and agree on the matters of recruitment, and set a time and place to do so.

It was just that this group of jogging soldiers' attire and the clothing of this era were completely different. They were wearing a metal hat, camouflage clothes and some even had strange chests. They all had something that looked like a fire rod, but its shape was longer and thinner, and it even had a bayonet at the mouth of the pipe.

There were four people and a tiger on the carriage. There was no doubt that Liu Zhiqiang was inside. Liu Zhiqiang opened half of the curtain and blew the breeze. He took a quick glance at his three generals and said, "Why are you sitting so properly?"

Li Lianjie reported, "Reporting, sir. In front of you, who would dare to do anything that would not be proper?"

Liu Zhiqiang jokingly scolded, "What old one? How old am I? If you just curse me like that, I will send you on a difficult job!"

Li Lianjie said with a bitter face, "It can't be! I don't want to work for the Intelligence Department. "

Liu Zhiqiang laughed, "Serves you right. Who told you to say I'm old."

Li Lianjie pointed at Gongzhi Qinglong and said, "It's him, last time …"

When Gongzhi Qinlong saw him framing her, he said, "Damn, it was you who said that. Everyone heard it just now. How could I be lazy?" As they got along with Liu Zhiqiang, these people had mastered some modern vocabulary.

Li Lianjie said, "I have a witness. Old Bear, tell me, what did Old Long say last time, that the military commander has become very dignified recently. This is not it, there's an old word in it."

Qin Baisheng closed his eyes in thought for a moment before opening them again: "Old Long did say that, but does this old man and that old man always have the same meaning?"

Li Lianjie said, "It means the same thing, do you know? China's Top 5 and Top 5...

Liu Zhiqiang waved his hand, interrupting them with a laugh, "You aren't serious yet, but according to our intelligence, the eunuch that went to Fuzhou City last time hasn't left the city yet. When we receive our greetings, don't be arrogant and domineering, even if we only see Xiong Wencai, that eunuch might still be watching us from afar." After that, he continued, "You are done. You can continue." Then he closed his eyes and rested.

However, the rest of the people in the car did not dare joke around. After seizing the land, they felt a formless majesty coming from Liu Zhiqiang's body, but as to how to describe it, they could not explain it clearly. In fact, it was just like the other soldiers of the Heavenly Valve Army looking at the three of them.

Fortunately, Li Lianjie was the first to react to Liu Zhiqiang's domineering aura. He started to joke around with Qin Tiansheng and Xiong Wencai.

On the road, Liu Zhiqiang heard them talking and laughing, the curtains of the carriage being blown by the wind. He looked towards the village, which was originally full of tranquility and tranquility. What was left of the war was blood, desolation, destruction of one's home, and pain that could never be made up for. Whatever the meaning of this war, it only brings harm, because war is ruthless. No matter where or when, it would always make people's hearts tremble.

As they got closer to Fuzhou City, cold wind blew. The scorched flag of the Ming Sun and the Moon was blown up by the wind. In the endless sand and rocks, the smoking wood gave off a disgusting smell of gunpowder. There were a few flying birds hovering above the corpses that were not completely buried by the sand. Several bloody holes could be seen through the bones, but the broken spear was still in the hands of the corpses. The cold wind began to howl, as if trying to awaken the dead soul. The war had been won, but in Liu Zhiqiang's heart, deafening shouts rang. The thrill of the battlefield was lingering, and Liu Zhiqiang could not help but wonder if he was really right to bring the war that was not there to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Fortunately, Qin, Li, and Gongzhi bowed to each other as per Liu Zhiqiang's wishes. The carriages of both sides stopped at one side, and there were troops on both sides, with two thousand soldiers on each side, the last remaining troops of Xiong Wencai. On the contrary, there were only a thousand soldiers in the Sky Valve Army, but they continued to fight together, with their machine guns, shrugs, and their imposing manner.

Xiong Wencai had also seen the weapons used by the Sky Valve Army, and had once heard that they had hidden themselves in the ground, extending their hands and killing off all their archers.

After sitting down, the two sides began to make promises on the return of the cities of Min, Zhe and Guangzhou. The Qin trio also promised that they would clear the sea and let the people live in peace.

After the agreement was made, Xiong Wenchuan took out the imperial decree, and the three of them knelt down helplessly, as they were not willing to kneel down to anyone, because after entering the Sky Valve Army, there was no etiquette of kneeling down, and that person was also a defeated general, and even his official name was on my head, what kind of Wandering General, I am the commander of the Sky Valve Division, but Liu Zhiqiang had strict orders, and the orders were to kneel down and kowtow, to a certain extent, in order to confuse the other.

When the three of them received the imperial edict, Xiong Wencai wanted to invite them to a banquet. The three of them had to hand over the city's defenses, and they had to refuse due to their heavy military duties.

Seeing the vast army leaving, Xiong Wencai was in an extremely neat and orderly formation. He had never seen such a scene in his life before. Turning his head, he did not know when, but the eunuch had already alighted from the carriage.

Xiong Wencai said, "Eunuch Cao." This was because he was a person who did not like to flatter the eunuchs and did not call him Master Cao.

Eunuch Cao agreed, but his eyes were still looking at the dust and sand raised by the Sky Valve Army.

Xiong Wencai said, "These three are arrogant soldiers who only just announced their decree. Although these three are kneeling, their hearts are not kneeling, and the personal guards are not kneeling either.

Eunuch Cao said: "Sir Xiong, His Majesty had said that if these three could be eliminated, it would be for the best, but there should be no more raids. Of course, it would be best if we could take over the Sky Feudal Lords' forces.

As for the reason why there was no imperial edict, it was just a verbal order. Of course, in case things were not good, if the Heavenly Valve Army rebelled, he could also be the scapegoat, just like how Zheng Chilong did not listen to his orders and defeated Cheng Xiang.

When Liu Zhiqiang returned to his residence, he was still in a daze from the pain of the war. Just as he was about to wake up, he saw a soldier running in, "Commander, those two eunuchs said they are back."

Liu Zhiqiang remembered that Wang Chengen's injuries were too severe, and that he had been lying here for more than two months. Although Wang Chengen had been giving him a good beating, but in fact, because of Chen Ziwen's torture, he had been lenient, and he was the one who had suffered the worst injuries, mainly because Liu Zhiqiang had inadvertently triggered the two ice finger qi moves that his cheap master had hit him with, which had been stuck in his dantian. Of course, he still didn't know that Liu Zhiqiang's mutated body had not dissipated yet.

He reacted and said, "Call a soldier and take him to the Chamber of Commerce. Also, give them back the silver taels and clothes."

Wang Chengen took the Royal Clothing Medallion from the hands of the soldiers of the Sky Valve Army. He checked it and found that it was missing some silver taels, so he asked: "Where's the silver? "Where did you guys get them all?"

The soldier said, "What? You want more silver? I think you want a plate?"

The little girl wanted to make a move, but Wang Chengen stopped her. Wang Chengen said, "May I ask, sir, if you want to enter the city, I'm afraid you won't be able to do so without being careful."

The soldier said impatiently, "It's none of my business if I can't enter the city."

Wang Chengen smiled and said, "Since we can't enter the city, we naturally can't go back. We can't do what the military commander has told us."

Only then did the soldier let go, "How much do you want? Let me tell you! "I can't take it out if there's too much."

Wang Chengen extended three fingers.

The soldier said, "Alright, two taels." He reached into his pocket.

Wang Chengen shook his hand and said, "No, 30 taels of silver. I will be honest with you."

The soldier said angrily, "What? Go and snatch it away!?" Don't think I don't know! "I am from Fujian, and when you enter an ordinary city, you only need to pay a copper coin, but you two will get a carriage that costs no more than five copper coins."

Wang Chengen said, "Is that so? Our family has lived here for a few days, I heard that the Sky Valve Army has eight big military rules, and one of them is called what did you come here for? " He turned around and asked the little girl, "Do you remember?"

The little girl hurriedly said, "No, servant, I didn't pay attention."

Wang Chengen shook his head and said: "Look at you young man, your memory is so bad. The eight great military rules of the Heavenly Valve Army, the first rule …"

The soldier hastily waved his hand and said, "Old man, don't bother. I'll just give you thirty taels."

Wang Chengen took the silver and weighed it in his hand. He said, "Army lord, you want our gold leaves to be worth more than 300 taels!" "Today, Martial Granduncle will return to our house with thirty silver taels. It will not be a loss."

That soldier continued, "What? Do you still want more? You don't even have the door, and I'm not the only one who wants to split your money. How many heads do I have on top? "Even if you go to the Military Commissar's Office, we won't be afraid of you. Our military regulations target poor farmers and poor citizens, not rich families like you." Although it was just like that, he knew in his heart that there had been people who had paid the rich for their protection last month, and they had even deducted a month's military pay from their military service.

Wang Chengen did not argue with him, after all these 30 taels could clear up some relations, and seeing Xiong Wencai, this fellow had been a businessman for generations, and was also very greedy. I heard that in terms of reputation this time, he had recruited the Sky Valve Army, so it's considered fortunate that he did not die, but my family's return to the capital, we can't let our family starve, right? He should have at least ten thousand taels of silver.

Wang Chengen saw that the person he recognized was his nemesis, Chen Ziwen. In the past few days, Wang Chengen had not been staying for nothing, but he managed to find out that the three people he had sealed were just a part of Liu Zhiqiang. Furthermore, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Heavenly Valve Army, there was no such thing as a royal court, only the orders of their commander, Liu Zhiqiang.

Chen Ziwen dismounted and said, "Take care, Elder Wang." With that, he took down a bundle and handed it over to Wang Chengen with both hands. He said, "Elder Wang, this is a small gift from the Army Commander that I am not respecting at all. Please speak a few words of praise for us in front of the Emperor."

Wang Chengen took it and realized it was still heavy.

Wang Chengen suddenly said, "Chief Chen, you see, our old bones really can't stand your encouragement, and now they're here to send us off, it's a shame. How about, next time we send you off, we'll send you back (a few whips)."

Chen Ziwen smiled faintly, "Fine, Elder Wang, you have to send me off. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm too stubborn and won't die. I've spent the commander's food and fallen in the people's hands, and that would not be good." The two of them stood facing each other. Their eyes intersected several times as they ignored the scenery of the Southern Mountain's Divine Province. The clouds that filled the sky dyed the golden sun in a magnificent red glow, and the morning sun made the two hostile figures slender.

When the soldier asked him where to go, he rode with him on his horse. Chen Ziwen rode the horse with a smile as he watched the red clouds rise into the sky. He looked at the south of the mountain range of the Divine State and saw the lush greenery of the Southern Kingdom. Three hundred years in the brightest, merciless frost rain, several easy looks.
