My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

Chapter 322: Against the will of heaven, capturing 5 spies alive

Looking in the direction of the footsteps, I saw Ren Tingting walking towards this side with a large bowl of porridge and a plate of dried fish and pickles in both hands.

But Jiang Li estimated the distance and saw that she was still about ten meters away from him.

After carefully observing Ren Tingting walking, he found that her footsteps shouldn't be so loud. "But why can I hear her footsteps clearly through the door, from such a distance?"

"Could it be that my cultivation level has improved, causing my five senses to be enhanced?"

Just as Jiang Li was brainstorming, Ren Tingting noticed Jiang Li. Her eyes lit up and she shouted in surprise, "Brother Li, you finally woke up. You were in a coma for three days, and Zhuzhu and I were so worried!"

Jiang Li hadn't recovered from his previous thoughts when he was once again confused by Ren Tingting's words, "Who told you I was in a coma? For another three days?"

Ren Tingting looked at Jiang Li with suspicion, "Brother Li, you haven't woken up yet, you were unconscious in the training room before, and when Zhuzhu and I found you, you were covered in bruises."

So they quickly carried you back to the bedroom and called a doctor, but after examining you for a long time, he could only give an extremely exhausted diagnosis. "

"Zhuzhu and I were worried, so we went to see Taoist Master Xie Changfeng. He said that you fell into a coma because you practiced too much and overdrew your mental strength. All we need is to let you rest for a while!"

"But you ended up sleeping for three days. We were so worried!"

Jiang Li finally understood the whole story, but he couldn't care less at this moment. He took the porridge from Ren Tingting's hand and drank it all in a few gulps.

She smacked her lips and said, "Tingting, you are such a fool. What good is a bowl of porridge like this? I feel like I can eat a whole cow!"

Ren Tingting rolled her eyes at Jiang Li, "How would I know when you would wake up? These past two days, Zhuzhu and I took turns taking care of you, changing your hot porridge every two hours, but you don't even appreciate it!"

As she spoke, she pouted her lips, looking as if she was about to cry.

Jiang Li saw this and knew that he had said something wrong, so he reached out and embraced Ren Tingting, touched her lips, and then apologized with a smile, "Okay, okay, I said something wrong. I haven't eaten for three days and I'm extremely hungry. Please forgive me!"

Ren Tingting was not angry to begin with, but seeing Jiang Li like this, she wanted to act like a spoiled brat, so she turned her head and snorted, "You don't have any sincerity in your apology."

Seeing that she dared to go further, Jiang Li reached out and snatched the tray from her hand and threw it aside. Then, without saying a word, he picked her up by the waist, kicked the door open, and carried her into the room.

It wasn't until Ren Tingting was thrown onto the bed that she reacted, "Brother Li, stop making trouble in the middle of the day. You just woke up, so you should take a good rest and take care of your body!"

Jiang Li smiled when he heard this, "You said that my apology was insincere, so I will show you some sincerity..."

Ten thousand words are omitted here

After a long storm, Jiang Li covered the exhausted Ren Tingting with a quilt, then turned around and left the room, going to the kitchen to find food.

After such a big battle, the bowl of porridge he had eaten had long been consumed, and he felt hungry again.

When he arrived at the kitchen, he called the chef directly and asked him to prepare a table of delicious dishes to satisfy his stomach.

More than an hour later, Jiang Li burped and said, "I'm finally full!"

Then he asked someone to clean up the mess on the table, and then he stood up and walked towards the Government Affairs Hall.

I came to the Government Affairs Office and asked about the government affairs reported by various places during this period, and learned that everything was fine everywhere.

The infrastructure construction in the two provinces is proceeding in full swing, and the archaeological work of the three "archaeological teams" is also going smoothly. They have now brought back more than 10,000 kilograms of silver, more than 1,000 kilograms of gold, and a large number of jewelry and jade burial objects.

With these, the Mint produced a batch of new banknotes. As for the previous ones, they are still being recycled and replaced. However, because the previously issued ones have been widely circulated, they have not been completely recycled and destroyed in a short period of time.

Fortunately, because the crackdown on counterfeit money is very effective, no new counterfeit money has been found in the market. Otherwise, they will never be able to recycle all the banknotes.

However, it's not that there is no bad news at all. According to information from the secret guards, the Japanese have already made responses during this period of time.

The spies they captured were basically unable to contact their superiors, so they haven't captured a single Japanese spy in two days.

As for the spies sent by other warlords, they seemed much more amateurish. Facing the large-scale hunt by the secret guards, not only did they not hide well, but their superiors' response was also a mess. Facing the secret guards' search method of following clues, they basically had no way to deal with it.

Look, Jiang Li is currently reading a piece of data sent by the secret guard. It clearly records that there are a total of 5,134 spies sent from Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Fujian and other places.

Looking at the number of more than 5,000 people and their places of origin, Jiang Li almost vomited blood. Judging from these place names, all the warlords in the provinces bordering him have deployed a large number of spies.

"It seems like they are really worried that they will continue to expand!"

With a sigh, Jiang Li continued to read the records. In addition to these more than 5,000 amateur spies, there were also 417 professional Japanese spies.

Seeing this number, Jiang Li frowned tightly, "There are more than 400 people who have been caught, how many are there in secret?"

"I think there should be thousands of them. These guys really think highly of me. But fortunately, they are not ready for a full-scale invasion yet. I still have time to develop a wave!"

Just as Jiang Li was muttering to himself, a clerk beside him asked Jiang Li, "Commander, we have already captured thousands of these spies."

"It's not a good idea to just keep them around and eat for free. We have to think of a way to properly deal with these people!"

Jiang Li turned his head and looked at him speechlessly, "So many young and strong laborers are just right for building roads and mining. Go and pass on my order to disperse these 5,000 spies and assign them to work in Guangxi and Hunan, so that they don't waste food!"

The clerk was about to go down and pass on the order, but suddenly thought of a question, so he asked, "Excuse me, Commander, how do we deal with those Japanese spies?"

"If we put them together with the spies, will they develop into another group of informants over time?"

Jiang Li looked at the document in confusion, "Where did the Japanese spies come from? Isn't Japan thousands of miles away from here? How did we catch their spies?"

"Is someone pretending to be Japanese to confuse the public and hide some shameful conspiracy?"
