After Qin Lang hung up the phone, he knew that there would definitely be people dying this time, and there should be quite a few people dying. However, he did not want to care about this, because if there were no deaths, those people would not be at peace, and the others would not feel the pain of their skin.
If the death of some people could be exchanged for the survival of more people, then these people's deaths would be worth it.
Since Qin Lang was no longer a member of the military, there was no need for him to worry about the lives of those soldiers. The ones who should worry were the leaders of the military. Although some of the leaders did not care about the lives of these soldiers, these people would be abandoned by the times sooner or later. After all, the times were different from the past.
Qin Lang didn't care about the lives of the others, but he had to meet Old Master Bao one last time.
General Yan told him that Elder Bao had been placed under house arrest. Of course, General Yan would not tell Qin Lang where he was placed under house arrest. This was related to the military's confidentiality system. With General Yan's character, it was impossible for him to break the system.
General Yan did not tell Qin Lang where Elder Bao was placed, but it was not a problem for Qin Lang. Now that the Nine States Boundary of Hua Xia had been formed, the World Tree was constantly absorbing the power of the Otherworld, and the power of Hua Xia's Dragon Vein was constantly increasing. This meant that Qin Lang's strength was steadily increasing, and his telepathic senses were even more powerful. As long as Elder Bao was placed under house arrest in Hua Xia, it would be impossible for him to escape Qin Lang's senses.
As expected, in just a few minutes, Qin Lang found Elder Bao's location. Elder Bao was in a heavily guarded military recuperation area. Although it was heavily guarded, the environment was not bad, and it was very suitable for retirement.
The place was heavily guarded, but it was useless against Qin Lang. He easily entered the recuperation area. Qin Lang knocked out a young doctor with a similar build to him, and then went to the lawn of the recuperation center. Elder Bao was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the sunset. He couldn't help but sigh, "The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's nearing dusk."
This could be considered a sigh of admiration. But Elder Bao was getting on in years, and his ambition had been worn down. That was why he was sighing at dusk.
Qin Lang walked to Elder Bao's side and whispered, "Old steed in the stable, but ambitious!" Elder Bao turned to look at Qin Lang in disbelief. "Qin Lang, why are you here?"
"You're locked up here. Can I not come?" Qin Lang said, "Don't worry, I'm here not because of General Yan or the military. It's because you're my friend, and I respect your character. Since I'm here, I'd like to ask you, do you want to continue watching the sunset here, or do you want to unleash your remaining energy? "
Elder Bao was silent for a moment. He naturally understood what Qin Lang meant. Staying here to watch the sunset meant waiting for death. Unleashing his remaining energy, of course, meant leading troops into battle.
"But, can I still unleash my remaining energy in this state?" Elder Bao sighed. Ever since he was placed under house arrest, his mood and health had been deteriorating. Now, he could only sit in a wheelchair. How could he even think about unleashing his remaining energy?
"Your body was originally healthy. Someone purposely made you like this. But, I have a way to help you recover. " As Qin Lang spoke, he held Elder Bao's hand and infused the Dragon Vein's vitality into his body. Elder Bao immediately felt full of energy, but he did not immediately get up from the wheelchair. Instead, he continued to pretend to be dispirited and listless.
"Qin Lang, I heard that the seal on Hell Island in the South Sea has been opened?" Elder Bao asked in a low voice.
"It's someone from the military. You should know very well." Qin Lang's tone was a little unhappy, even though he knew it wasn't Elder Bao's idea.
"I didn't expect this to happen either. Sigh, it's like hitting a snake and not killing it, but getting bitten by it! It wasn't me or General Yan who made this decision. It was the Guo family. They have regained control of the military, and many of General Yan's powers have been restricted. " Elder Bao couldn't help but sigh. Back then, they didn't dig deeper into the Guo family's influence in the military. As a result, it led to the Guo family's counterattack. Without a sound, Elder Bao lost his power and was placed under house arrest.
The Guo family regained control of the military. This was not good news for Qin Lang. Although he had left the military, Qin Lang didn't leave the military to go against the military. It was for better cooperation between the two sides.
In the military of Hua Xia, Elder Bao and General Yan were in charge. On the other hand, Qin Lang mobilized the Jianghu's power. The military and the Jianghu's power combined to fully utilize both sides' strengths. That was the only way to maximize the power of Hua Xia. However, now that the Guo family had gained control of the military, something wasn't right.
"It's not just the Guo family. Although the Guo family's influence in the country is strong, it's not to the extent that I can't fight back. There must be other forces involved," Elder Bao pondered.
"The Seven-Member Merchant Guild!" Qin Lang sneered. He was almost certain that this matter had something to do with the Seven-Member Merchant Guild. This was what they were best at. Ever since they left Hua Xia during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they had never given up on managing the mainland of Hua Xia. Every time there was a change of government and warlords, their shadows would appear. Their agents would always wreak havoc on the mainland of Hua Xia. Their goal was to help them gain profits. After all, if one were to talk about making a fortune, what could be easier than making a fortune from war or national calamity?
For ordinary people, national calamity and war were the most terrifying things. But for those unscrupulous merchants and warmongers, national calamity and war were a feast. Their weapons, medicine, and even food could be sold at sky-high prices. They could also get land, gold, and all kinds of mineral resources at a low price. In short, these people had no humanity. They were just crocodiles, and giant crocodiles that wanted to eat people.
The arrival of the world's calamity might be a disaster for the people of Hua Xia. But for the Seven-Member Merchant Guild and the Guo family, it wasn't necessarily so. They were extremely good at profiting from national calamity. They didn't even let go of a calamity. Moreover, Hua Xia was now strong and prosperous. Now was the best time to "cut the sheep". How could they miss it?
Therefore, the Seven-Member Merchant Guild naturally sought out the Guo family. Both sides hit it off. The Seven-Member Merchant Guild used the Guo family's influence to infiltrate the military of Hua Xia. Elder Bao was pushed out of the core of the military and became a weak old man who had lost his power.
