Bright Sword: I checked in amidst the aftermath of the battle

Chapter 85 You're something else!

Kong Jie glanced at Li Yunlong and laughed, "Old Li, what brings you here too?"

"Hehe, I've come to check on these punks. Damn it, they're stealing meat from our Eighth Route Army. We need to teach them a lesson."

Li Yunlong gave a perfunctory reply.

"Hmph, I know you too well. You definitely have ulterior motives."

Kong Jie grunted. He had indeed run into a wall. He had originally come to recruit Wei Dayong, but Wei Dayong wouldn't give him any face.

He insisted on returning to the Central Army no matter what, which infuriated him to no end.

Li Yunlong ignored them and ordered the guards, "Open the door for me."

"yes!"

The soldiers quickly opened the door, and Li Yunlong strode inside.

At this moment, Wei Dayong and the others stared blankly out the window.

To be honest, it's not unusual for soldiers to be put in solitary confinement, but after all, they weren't soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

Now that he's been caught red-handed and is in confinement, even if he returns to the Central Army, he'll likely face difficulties.

The Central Army, those were Chiang Kai-shek's elite troops, and yet soldiers of that elite force committed such a heinous act...

"Hey, what are you all standing there for?"

As soon as Li Yunlong entered the room, he shouted loudly at the group of people.

Wei Dayong was the first to turn his head and look over.

He assumed it was still the same officer surnamed Kong, so he subconsciously said, "Officer Kong, there's no need to say anything more. We're going back to the Central Army."

Wei Dayong had already made up his mind. At worst, he'd get a scolding if he returned to the Central Army, but at least he'd receive military pay, and with military pay came food and drink.

In the Eighth Route Army, it's estimated that they might not get to eat meat even once a year.

"Hmph?"

Li Yunlong and Wang Yousheng were both stunned. "Damn it," Li Yunlong thought, "Kong Jie really came to poach people."

Wang Yousheng also subconsciously glanced at Wei Dayong; this kid's friendliness towards the Eighth Route Army was zero.

When I saved him before, his favorability rating was at least 20, but now it's dropped to zero. It must be because of what happened last night.

"Your name is Wei Dayong?"

Li Yunlong questioned.

Wei Dayong glared with his tiger-like eyes, straightened his posture, and said, "That's me!"

Li Yunlong nodded slightly and said, "Last night, because of you, I got my gun disarmed. Tell me, how should this be handled?"

Before Wei Dayong could respond, his companion Lao He stepped forward.

He stood in front of Wei Dayong and said sternly, "Sir! I instigated them to steal the meat. Don't make things difficult for them. If you want to execute them, shoot me."

"Oh?"

Li Yunlong, caught up in the moment, laughed and scolded, "What's your name, kid?"

"He Yueguang!"

"Moonlight? That's an interesting name."

Li Yunlong simply nodded slightly, looked at Wei Dayong again, and said, "That monk, I can overlook the fact that you stole food, but you beat up an entire platoon of soldiers. We need to discuss that with you!"

Wei Dayong rolled his eyes and snorted, "I've already said, do whatever you want. Your soldiers are weak, and you're blaming me?"

"Damn it, what a big mouth you have! You stole food and you still dare to talk back."

Wei Dayong remained silent; logically speaking, he was indeed in the wrong first.

However, he disliked the tone of the officer in front of him, who kept insulting other people's mothers, and thought he was no good.

It's often said that the Eighth Route Army was made up of peasants, and it seems there's some truth to that.

Li Yunlong changed the subject and said, "I'll give you a chance to apologize to those soldiers. Be sincere, and I, Li Yunlong, will let bygones be bygones for what happened last night."

"What?"

These words completely baffled Wei Dayong and the others.

Kong Jie was trying to recruit them, but they felt there was no point in staying, since they had already fought and had conflicts with the Eighth Route Army soldiers.

Therefore, they now believe that Li Yunlong came to do ideological work.

How could we possibly make them apologize?

and many more……

What was it called again?

Li Yunlong?

Wei Dayong, who had been looking angry, instantly turned into a grinning face.

"Is the commander Li Yunlong?"

Li Yunlong said with a solemn smile, "It's the real deal, Li Yunlong, commander of the Independent Regiment."

"Okay! I'm willing to apologize!"

"I'd like to too!"

Wei Dayong and his companions all nodded excitedly in agreement, their previous arrogance completely gone.

Li Yunlong was also stunned. Why did these guys change their attitude so quickly?

He raised an eyebrow and said, "What, not arrogant anymore?"

Wei Dayong said, "I'm not arrogant anymore, Commander Li. I've heard of you in the army. You took down Sakata with one shot, no doubt about it. I'm willing to apologize."

"And also, can I join your Eighth Route Army? I want to work for you."

Li Yunlong glanced at Wei Dayong and said, "Hmph, joining our Eighth Route Army isn't that easy. First, you have to apologize to our comrades."

"Oh? No problem, no problem. I'll do anything to join your team."

"Hmm, you've got good taste, kid. What about you guys?"

Li Yunlong glanced at the others again.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Li Yunlong was a big shot; they had heard of him long ago.

Apologizing is a trivial matter; what would be interesting is being able to stay in Li Yunlong's army and fight.

They immediately nodded and said, "Just give the order, Commander Li, and we'll do it right away."

"it is good."

Li Yunlong's face lit up with joy. Indeed, he had come for Wei Dayong and his group. He had witnessed Wei Dayong's strength last night, so he planned to give them a chance. If they were willing to apologize to the soldiers, he would consider keeping them.

Of course, he thought he would need to use his persuasive skills, but he didn't expect these guys to admire him so much that they agreed without even thinking.

At this moment, Kong Jie, who had been standing outside the door watching, was dumbfounded.

That's Li Yunlong for you. He doesn't need to waste words to recruit people; he just needs to state his name.

And what about him? He pleaded with them all morning, but these Central Army soldiers remained unmoved.

Once the matter was settled, Li Yunlong instructed the guards: "Take them to the guard platoon and make these lads apologize to the soldiers properly."

"yes!"

The soldier nodded immediately.

Wei Dayong and the others were then led by him to the guard post.

Kong Jie walked in at this moment, smiling broadly, and said, "Old Li, you really have a way with things."

Li Yunlong chuckled: "What kind of crazy method is this? If it weren't for that monk Wei being somewhat interesting, I wouldn't have made this trip. So, were you annoyed by them just now?"

Kong Jie chuckled and said, "I'm not as famous as you, Li Yunlong. There's nothing I can do about it."

At this moment, Wang Yousheng was still standing there dumbfounded.

He thought the guild leader had brought him here on a mission, but he didn't get to do anything at all!

He had to ask, "Commander, Wei Dayong is all taken care of. What about me? Did you call me here for a mission?"

"Task?"

Li Yunlong chuckled: "What the hell is the mission? Didn't I already say? The First Battalion has no combat missions for the next month. Rest and reorganize!"

"Then why did you bring me here?"

Li Yunlong slapped Wang Yousheng on the back of the head and said coldly, "What's wrong? I'm the regimental commander. I told you to come over, so you come over. You're not happy about it?"

Wang Yousheng was instantly jolted awake by the slap. Damn it, could it be that Li Yunlong deliberately took him away because he and Zhao Gang had been close today?
