Chapter 87 Chi Xiao’s Brother

 

Jiang Shaoliu jumped off from the monkey king’s shoulder and chatted with Mr. Han.

He learned that his full name was Han Lishan, a master with only two bronze life rings. He used to be the boss of a restaurant in the suburb of Yungang and Mr. Li was the chef.

But the restaurant closed down when the big changes took place and it was difficult for Han Lishan to find his wife and child, as a result, he escaped with Mr. Li as well as some other staff and became one of the refugees.

“At first, we lacked food, water, and anything else we needed, they even formed factions for us to live.” As he said this, Han Shanli felt a little conflicted: “Then some people got the weapons from the heavens when the light rain occurred, they became masters and stopped the massive situation.”

Hearing what he said, Jiang Shaoliu nodded and agreed.

These people really led a hard life at the beginning when the big changes took place, it was useless to escape into a shelter only to be killed or eaten by those monsters if they didn’t get weapons from the heavens. Maybe Chi Xiao and Gui Gui became silver masters when they obtained weapons at that time, that was also the reason they set the order and established the power of the Yungang League.

“Chi Xiao was just a gangster who led a bad life with Gui Gui in the shelter, I helped them several times at that time.” Sai Han Lishan: “His brother came when the light rain fell, and they got a weapon from the heavens using a certain method, he then left when the Yungang League was established.”

Jiang Shaoliu remained silent, but he still felt a little surprised.

So, what was the method their brother used to get that weapon?

Unfortunately, Han Lishan didn’t know so much about it, he had only seen him and felt the great momentum. He was wearing some kind of uniform and carrying a paper tube with unknown things inside it.

“The brother of Chi Xiao and Gui Gui…” Jiang Shaoliu muttered to himself and pondered.

Before Chi Xiao died, he said his brother would take revenge for him, which meant he must be powerful enough, and he might even be stronger than him and the monkey king.

“That’ll be interesting if he’s really that strong.” Jiang Shaoliu stared and felt the desire to fight.

However, there must be some reason his brother didn’t appear even when Chi Xiao was killed, or else, he would never have ignored him. And he must know the news that Jiang Shaoliu killed him, which would lead to an unavoidable battle.

“Chi Xiao had no contact with me when he became the boss of the Yungang League.” Han Lishan sneered: “Our staff from the restaurant helped him and he would bow unctuously when he saw me at first, but later, he ignored me whenever he saw me.”

Jiang Shaoliu listened to him, he kept silent and understood him a little now.

That was the reason why he was unpopular, and also the reason those soldiers were not so hostile to him and surrendered when he killed Chi Xiao without anybody attempting to avenge him.

Ruo Feng took a break after teaching the soldiers, he went to Jiang Shaoliu and looked at Han Lishan with doubt: “You know each other?”

“Absolutely.” Jiang Shaoliu nodded and replied: “He helped me before and I only just recognized him now.”

This made Han Lishan feel warm.

He had never really helped Jiang Shaoliu, he only lent him his phone and told him something that everybody knew. Jiang Shaoliu had saved all of them but he just didn’t keep it in mind.

“Good, we’re all friends now and let’s have dinner together.” Ruo Feng greeted Han Shanli, he rubbed his belly and giggled: “It may take several days to complete the registration, and it will not take that long for a meal. Mr. Li has really good skills when it comes to cooking and I can still remember his dishes at the restaurant.”

Mr. Li had finished preparing some meat when they found him in the restaurant of the shelter, he was enjoying the food secretly and felt reluctant to get out when Jiang Shaoliu threatened him with the iron bar.

“I’m starving too, let’s go and eat.” Jiang Shaoliu smiled and said.


In the deep meeting room of the shelter three days later.

As Jiang Shaoliu saw the files prepared by Liu Guang, he felt great pressure.

There were a total of more than 47,000 people in the Yungang League, and it was rather narrow inside, there were several families living together and 7 or 8 people were living in rooms which were less than 10 square meters. Living conditions were tough. 

The soldiers were living a bit better, those above two bronze life rings could live in a separate room with their families.

“The name falls short of the reality, since the Yungang League is one of the greatest powers in Yungang city.” Jiang Shaoliu kneaded his eyebrows, he was checking the files for the soldiers and was attracted by the data.

There were a total of 3,429 soldiers and Mr. Li was the only one with three silver life rings, there were two people with two silver life rings, but they had been knocked out by the monkey king’s roar.

There were 76 masters with one silver life ring, 344 with three bronze life rings, 1,658 with two bronze life rings and the rest had only one bronze life ring.

“The quantity and the power of their soldiers is just ok.” Jiang Shaoliu nodded.

In the very beginning, the Yungang League ranked in the average level among the four greatest powers because of Chi Xiao with his three silver life rings and the four vice-presidents as well as the masters with two silver life rings, their general combat power was just ok when he recruited some other masters.

The people needed to settle down and rebuild the city after the great changes, and the Yungang League had made some contributions and became one of the four greatest powers in Yungang city since those people united and protected so many people.

After checking the personal information, Jiang Shaoliu turned to check the financial status with great astonishment: “Why are they so poor?”

They needed money for food for more than 47,000 people, resources for the soldiers, and expanding the shelter.

And all of the income came from the restaurant of Wan Yao, which was a chain restaurant within the scope of those other three great powers in Yungang city, they provided 24-Hour service. They handed in all the income except the fees for rent, water, and electricity. Some staff went to Qingyun Yeyuan for their own information but were beaten by the military, they were still staying in the hospital since they had no money to pay the medical bill.

“That’s so miserable.” Jiang Shaoliu didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

Usually, soldiers would set up combat teams to hunt in the dangerous areas near where they practiced, they would also sell the bodies of the monsters to the other three great powers after keeping some of them as food for the restaurant, but they barely made enough for the people in the league to live on.

So it was impossible to achieve big projects such as a shelter expansion.

“That’s why I saw so few tanks and armored cars when the monkey king and I came, there were not so many rocket launchers either.”

Now Jiang Shaoliu understood: “Those are expensive resources and it’s impossible for the military and the Gangxing Group to send them for free, they’re still too expensive even though they’ve been discounted.”

What a bad life Chi Xiao had been leading, death was better.

The human resources, infrastructure, equipment, and food storage…

As he finished checking the files, Jiang Shaoliu took a long breath and kneaded his brow.

Such great pressure on him, it was worse than he had expected, and Jiang Shaoliu felt there might be endless resources required to improve the Yungang League in all respects. Those contribution points were not enough at all.

Ding, ding, ding…

The smartwatch rang and it was Lin Yuetao.

“Mr. Lin.” Jiang Shaoliu stared at it and connected the line.

A serious voice came from Lin Yuetao: “Shaoliu, I’ve checked with Mr. Xu and Chi Xiao really does have a brother, he’s a traditional practitioner and has spoken with Mr. Xu when he came to the military awhile back, but I was only a common soldier and didn’t know too much about it at the time…”

Jiang Shaoliu understood him and didn’t complain, after Lin Yuetao finished talking, he cut off the line and thought about what he said, then felt a little shocked.

According to what Mr. Xu said, Chi Xiao and Gui Gui had left home when they were young and were selected as students of the representative Jin Shan. They came back when the great changes took place and went to the Hongfa Group and Gangxing Group after talking with Mr. Xu, but it was unknown what they talked about.

Then finally, the three great powers had admitted the Yungang League as one of the four greatest powers in Yungang city without taking any methods.

“This must be a superb method for such a traditional practitioner to take in order to persuade those three powers not to fight with the Yungang League when he talked with them, and I could never believe it was because of virtue.” Jiang Shaoliu was thinking: “He had just come back when the great changes took place and helped Chi Xiao and Gui Gui get the weapons from the heavens, obviously, he must have known something before the change, well, this must really be an amazing person…”

And it also made him think about the message that Yin Manshu left in the recording pen.

“There must be some reasons that so many powers sprang up since the great changes, take the Yungang city, for example, there was some background for the military, Gangxing, and Hongfa but not for the Yungang League from Chi Xiao…”

And Yin Manshu also said that those powers had prepared before the great changes, which really appeared to be fact given to the real situation. She could send him crystal silk tights, which meant there must be more than one golden snow silkworm inside the Gangxing Group.

There must be other places where such supernatural things such as the monkey king and amur tiger existed as well, and it could be quite possible that the military and other powers have mastered a golden level monster as the final card in their hands.

“And the new force mentioned by her is Chi Xiao’s brother, he’s the last card and patron of the Yungang League.” Jiang Shaoliu muttered to himself: “Yin Manshu said he had mysterious power and she must know more about him.”

Maybe she was doing this on purpose since she revealed so little information to him. Though he knew Chi Xiao’s brother’s abilities, he would still fight with the Yungang League, however, it might be uncomfortable.

“She only talks about how he sprang up when she mentioned the Yungang League, and maybe she didn’t reveal too much about this brother, however, she’s not deceiving me.” As Jiang Shaoliu thought about this, he smiled.

“Maybe I need to get a chance to refer to Yin Manshu in the future.”
