This trip to the desert was really tiring. As far as Jiang Xiu was concerned, the harvest was not small. He found the longevity stone talisman that was the purpose of his trip. One cold and one hot would definitely greatly increase the speed of cultivation.
In addition, a regular army was also recruited, which was a real surprise.
Even if Jiang Xiu has a high level of cultivation and has wealth under his command, he will still be rootless and lack real power. But it will be different after he has this armed force. He will become a real big lord.
Having an armed force is no joke.
This amount is self-evident. That night, Wu Guiyong came to the guest house where Jiang Xiu was staying to find Jiang Xiu.
Host a banquet!
You must know that Wu Guiyong's office building command center was bombed and he didn't bother to repair it, so he came to meet with Jiang Xiu first. This shows that he attaches great importance to it. This is not because of Jiang Xiu's cultivation level or because Jiang Xiu saved his life.
It's the weapon in his hand.
The banquet was deserted. Although there were few people, the standard was high enough. It could be described as the ultimate luxury in the border area. Wu Guiyong was accompanied by an articulate female officer, so there were only three of them.
Wu Guiyong picked up the wine glass: "Mr. Jiang, thank you for your generous action today, otherwise, all of us would have been accounted for."
Jiang Xiu said calmly: "It's just convenient."
If he hadn't done it smoothly, the possibility of him taking action was really slim.
"In any case, Mr. Jiang saved my life and the lives of so many of my subordinates. I toast you with this drink."
Although the female officer filled Jiang Xiu's glass with wine and smiled coquettishly, trying to melt Jiang Xiu's cold expression with her own beauty, she still failed in the end.
Jiang Xiu's wine glass remained motionless while Wu Guiyong drank the whole glass obediently.
This was the first time Wu Guiyong toasted to a young man under twenty, and he was ignored, but there was no trace of displeasure on his face.
Jiang Xiu said: "Mr. Wu, there is no need to say these foreign words, just say what you have to say."
Wu Guiyong laughed. His glass of wine to express his gratitude was not completely fake. Jiang Xiu did save him, but the more important thing was what happened next. He said, "I have already reported the matter here to the General Military Region. , the leaders attach great importance to Mr. Jiang, does Mr. Jiang really want to accept that armed force?"
Jiang Xiu said: "Of course..."
Wu Guiyong said: "Mr. Jiang plans to hold this armed force for a long time?"
Jiang Xiu said: "Does Mr. Wu hope that I will give up and let them do whatever they want in the desert? Or, do I hope that they will be taken under Tianmen, continue to disrupt our borders, and blow up your office building again?"
Wu Guiyong said: "Of course not, that's not what I meant. It's just that no registered person has ever owned such a huge private army."
Jiang Xiu said: "There are always exceptions."
In fact, for the sake of border stability, successive dynasties have worked hard to ensure that the emperor marries his daughter and pays various fees for both young and old.
If the armed forces fall into Jiang Xiu's hands, border peace can be achieved. Isn't this what everyone wants to see
Wu Guiyong said: "Yes, there are always exceptions."
"If this border can be stabilized, Mr. Jiang's contribution will be lasting."
Jiang Xiu said: "I asked Bai Chong to go and sweep the surrounding areas as soon as he is free."
Wu Guiyong's eyes lit up: "This, this is great."
Jiang Xiu said: "You'd better issue a hush-hush order about this gangster being recruited by me. I'm a Chinese and a consultant. If this gets out, there will be a lot of trouble."
Wu Guiyong nodded solemnly.
He turned his head and whispered softly to the female officer next to him. The female officer signaled to Jiang Xiu and then stood up and hurried away. Apparently, she was going to report to the headquarters to issue a gag order.
Wu Guiyong said: "This will be listed as the country's highest SSS secret. Including your classmate just now and the little girl from the Xie family in Pinghai will receive a gag order."
Jiang Xiu said: "The military department is all professional and will not leak anything. Xie Ting will not talk nonsense. It will be difficult for my classmates."
"How scary!"
Wu Guiyong couldn't help but smile when he saw that Jiang Xiu rarely talked interestingly. Mr. Jiang didn't seem to have a good relationship with his classmates.
"Come on, Mr. Jiang, let me toast you again."
A female secretary came in outside and shouted: "Report!"
"Come in!"
The female secretary took a document and handed it to Wu Guiyong and said: "Diaoyutai No. 1 sent a congratulatory message, greatly appreciating our action this time, and highly praised Mr. Jiang. I hope Mr. Jiang will return to Beijing to meet with him."
Wu Gui said excitedly: "Mr. Jiang, congratulations. The big boss has approved your existence. The big boss still wants to receive you. This is the treatment of a state guest."
This was what Jiang Xiu expected.
Wu Guiyong said: "Mr. Jiang, will you stay here temporarily?"
Jiang Xiu shook his head: "I'll leave tomorrow."
"You don't care about that?"
Jiang Xiu said: "Leave it to Bai Chongyi." This is not his ambition, and he doesn't need to care about whether this tough bandit is loyal to him or not. If he doesn't obey, he will be killed. Of course, those people will never dare to rebel against him unless He was killed.
As for Tianmen, he didn't take it to heart.
Wu Guiyong said: "Still in the desert like this?"
Jiang Xiu shook his head: "I have a project that I need to discuss with the military. I may need Mr. Wu's cooperation in the future. However, everything must wait until I meet with the big boss before I make a decision."
The country also has such technology when it comes to oil extraction. However, whether you want to avoid suspicion or not, you have to listen to the big leaders.
When it was close to ten o'clock at noon the next day, Professor Xu woke up leisurely.
His life was finally saved.
"Professor, you are finally awake."
Professor Xu struggled to sit up, but his energy was not very bad. He said, "How long have I been in a coma?"
"It didn't take long, almost twenty hours."
Professor Xu breathed a sigh of relief, but then a sad look appeared on his face. In the ward, including Jiang Xiu and Qiu Yinru, there were only six students left. Plus the three adults, there were nine people in total. Eighteen people died. He didn't even know how to explain to the school or explain to his parents.
Jiang Xiu said: "If Professor Xu wakes up, the military department can arrange a plane to take us back to the imperial capital."
"The military department arranges a plane?"
Professor Xu was surprised: "Do we have the qualifications to be a special aircraft for the military?"
Qiu Yinru and Shen Dewen both looked at Jiang Xiu.
This is of course because of Jiang Xiu.
A police officer came to talk to them last night. It was super confidential. If it was revealed, they would be executed for treason. At that time, Qiu Yinru and Shen Dewen almost fainted from fright.
"Of course!"
Jiang Xiu said: "The main thing is that your body can't bear the food."
Professor Xu said: "I'm fine. It's better to go back early. Staying here will only make people uncomfortable." What's even more sad is that no valuable cultural relics were collected during this trip to the ancient desert city.
After setting the route, Professor Xu and three other people were carried on a stretcher to the plane. After being equipped with medical personnel, they set off back to the imperial capital. Xie Ting said goodbye to Jiang Xiu at the airport.
"Brother Jiang, take care."
After the plane took off, Qiu Yinru said: "She is very good to you. She is like Brother Jiang. With a girl's intuition, she might like you."
Jiang Xiu said: "Your intuition is not accurate."
Qiu Yinru said: "You can consider it. She is so beautiful and her family seems to be in good condition..."
Jiang Xiuxin said that with three fiancées and a wife from his previous life, he was already exhausted, and there was no time left. Besides, Xie Ting gave him a weird feeling. She seemed to be a different person when she came up from the water.
On the same day, the plane arrived in the imperial capital in the evening. Jiang Xiu went to see the big boss immediately. Because the matter was confidential, very few people knew about it.
The border issue was negotiated. In addition, Jiang Xiu raised the issue of oil exploration. It does not belong to the country. Of course, it belongs to Jiang Xiu personally. The country can support some technologies, but in order to avoid suspicion, Jiang Xiu is still required to go to Europe and the United States to purchase corresponding equipment and follow up. technology.
These things cannot be bought with money.
A middleman is needed and this can be provided.
That day, Jiang Xiu slept in the Diaoyutai and was treated like a state guest. The next day, he officially returned to Imperial University. Return to his campus life.
"Jiang Xiu is back. There is a girl looking for you."
The three roommates in the dormitory gathered around him when they saw him coming back.
"Jiang Xiu, who is that girl?"
Jiang Xiu himself was still confused: "How do I know if she said her name?"
