Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

But Shen Hao didn't know that while Fujian Governor Sun Daoren dared not rebel, his subordinates were.

Xu Chongzhi, commander of the 14th Division of Fujian, and the Anti-Yuan Alliance, composed of some Kuomintang members, actively planned an uprising and put pressure on Governor Sun Daoren, demanding that he declare independence.

Sun Daoren's attitude had always been wavering and ambiguous. At this time, given that he had no reliable army by his side and was worried that the armies of Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces would attack Fujian, he had no choice but to announce that he was severing ties with Yuan Shikai.

Shen Hao received a telegram from Yuan Shikai, instructing him to send a brigade merely to exert pressure, not to launch an attack.

"Can't Sun Daoren see reality? Li Liejun from Jiangxi has already failed, what are you still jumping around for?"

Fujian is located opposite the sea, and across the sea is Taiwan.

It is surrounded by Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Guangdong provinces.

The governors of the three provinces, all known as "460", were Yuan Shikai's men.

Currently, the Governor of Jiangxi is concurrently held by Vice President Li Yuanhong, the Governor of Guangdong is Shen Hao, and the Governor of Zhejiang is Zhu Rui.

The Tongmenghui launched the "Second Revolution" in the south, and revolutionaries in the south rose up against Yuan Shikai.

However, Zhu Rui, the governor of Zhejiang, did not respond.

At that time, Gu Naibin, who was stationed in Ningbo, had a brigade under his command. When he saw that Zhu Rui did not respond to the anti-Yuan movement, he prepared to lead his troops in an uprising. However, the plot was exposed, and Gu Naibin fled Zhejiang. Zhou Fengqi took over as brigade commander.

Now everyone knows that the governor of Zhejiang is Zhu Rui, who is also one of Yuan Shikai's men.

In other words, Sun Daoren, the current governor of Fujian, is like a turtle in a jar, surrounded by three provinces.

This left Shen Hao somewhat puzzled as to why Yuan Shikai wouldn't allow him to send troops to attack.

Without much thought, he was ordered to send Zhou Weiguo to lead a brigade to be stationed near Meizhou, which borders Fujian, to exert pressure.

After Zhou Weiguo sent troops to investigate, he sent a telegram to Shen Hao.

Shen Hao then understood why Yuan Shikai had not allowed an attack, but only to apply pressure.

It turns out that Sun Daoren only verbally agreed to Xu Chongzhi's request to send troops on a northern expedition, and did not support him in practice.

The Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce also did not raise funds on behalf of the company.

Because of the lack of military funds, although Fujian declared independence, the anti-Yuan army never left the province.

Therefore, it is clear that Yuan Shikai was not in a hurry to deal with Sun Daoren, but rather waited until he had dealt with the others before dealing with him.

Seeing that Sun Daoren wouldn't cause any trouble or any major disturbance, Shen Hao decided to leave it at that.

After walking for several hours, we arrived at Mengdonghe in Nuqing County. There were refugees everywhere along the way.

Only after inquiring did I learn that Chen Yulou, the underworld leader of Nuqing County, was distributing grain for disaster relief.

Many people who couldn't afford to eat came.

I asked a random passerby and actually found out that a military unit had passed through here a few days ago.

Upon receiving this news, Shen Hao understood that the plot had begun.

Therefore, Shen Hao sent Yuan Kewen with a hundred men to Hubei to find Governor Duan Zhigui, while Shen Hao went to Ping Mountain first.

There are still many treasures there, and the gallbladder of the six-winged centipede is also a valuable item.

To Shen Hao's surprise, Master Qianhe was very familiar with this generation.

Having done it so easily, Shen Hao didn't think much of it.

Because Ping Mountain is located deep in the Lao Xiong Ling Mountains, it is difficult for the main force to move forward.

Therefore, Shen Hao did not lead a large force, but instead led Huang Qiying, Daoist Qianhe, Ding Lianshan, Cheng Shuzhen, and dozens of guards ahead.

After crossing a mountain, the group arrived at a Miao village.

The Miao villagers were very wary of outsiders like Shen Hao, holding machetes and staring intently at him and his companions.

At this moment, Daoist Qianhe stepped forward and put on a yellow robe.

He spoke a few words to the villagers in the Miao language.

The Miao villagers nodded immediately, their expressions brightening once again.

Shen Hao asked curiously, "What did you say you talked to them about?"

Master Qianhe said, "I helped the villagers in this area to transport corpses before, so after talking with them, they lowered their guard against me."

I spent a year or two in this mortuary when I was transporting corpses.

Oh, by the way, that mortuary was located at the foot of Ping Mountain; it's been so many years since I last visited it.

Upon hearing this, Shen Hao was somewhat surprised. It turned out that Daoist Qianhe, who had been resting at the Yizhuang mortuary for Chen Yulou and the others, had also come.

Regarding tomb raiding, Shen Hao always felt that Uncle Nine, Master Qianhe, and Master Simu were the true pioneers of tomb raiding.

How could someone like Hu Bayi, a mediocre feng shui practitioner, possibly compare to a professional feng shui master like Master Qianhe?

When it comes to finding tombs, they're incredibly accurate.

There's no such thing as lighting lamps inside a tomb. Demons and monsters would have to come forward to offer gold and silver treasures, or they could just be extinguished. Why bother with all that trouble?

Shen Hao smiled and said, "Then I'll be thanking the Taoist priest for his help today."

"General, please don't say that."

"See? I already told you to call him 'Young Master' when we go out."

"Yes"

"Master Qianhe, you are familiar with this area, so please lead the way."

"Okay young master"

Soon, led by Daoist Qianhe, they quickly arrived at the mortuary by taking a shortcut.

To Shen Hao's surprise, Luo Laowai and Chen Yulou were both there, but there were only about ten of them. His main force had not arrived. It was obvious that the main force was not as fast as Shen Hao and was taking a different route.

Seeing this, Shen Hao felt relieved.

When Luo Laowai saw Shen Hao and the others appear, his expression changed, and he immediately pulled out his pistol.

But just as he pulled out his pistol, Ding Lianshan moved. Like a shot of an arrow, he leaped lightly and appeared in front of Luo Laowai, startling Luo Laowai into retreating repeatedly.

Ding Lianshan clasped his hands together and thrust them upwards, striking Luo Laowai squarely in the chin. Luo Laowai was sent flying backwards as if hit by a truck.

Upon seeing Luo Laowai spit out a mouthful of blood, his men quickly drew their guns.

But they were too slow, and were easily captured by Huang Qiying and Shen Hao's guards in an instant.

Shen Hao's guards are all at least Ming Jin level experts. Dealing with Luo Laowai is as easy as Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts.

In less than a minute, all of Luo Laowai's men were subdued.

This made Shen Hao feel that the difficulty was too low, giving him the feeling of a max-level player sweeping through the newbie village.

Chen Yulou and the others stared in shock at Shen Hao and his group.

To everyone's surprise, all of Shen Hao's men were actually experts.

Although Chen Yulou had some martial arts skills, he was only a master of the Ming Jin level, but he did have a keen eye.

Knowing that they were nothing in front of Ding Lianshan and Huang Qiying, they dared not make a move.

However, Shen Hao wasn't targeting him and didn't make a move against his people.

Even so, Chen Yulou did not dare to relax and kept his eyes fixed on Shen Hao.

A moment later, Luo Laowai was bound hand and foot and forced to kneel in front of Shen Hao.

Luo Laowai's eyes flickered with resentment and regret. He regretted that he shouldn't have separated from the main group. He should have led everyone along. Even if he had been slower, they wouldn't be so helpless now.

"Who are you? I, Luo Laowai, have never offended you."

Shen Hao laughed and said, "You have not offended me. However, I originally wanted your Hunan governor, Tang Xiangming, to bring you to see me, but Tang Xiangming refused. So I had no choice but to come in person."

Luo Laowai trembled, staring at Shen Hao in shock.

"Are you Shen Hao, the Governor of Guangdong?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou, Hong Guniang, Hua Maguai, and the others were also taken aback.

Although the Unloading Ridge faction claimed to have over ten thousand men, there was a significant difference between their claim and reality. The larger bandits were equipped with Hanyang rifles and some homemade guns, while most of them carried broadswords. This level of equipment was considered quite good.

The Governor of Guangdong was an absolute regional overlord; dealing with them was as easy as crushing ants.

They couldn't understand why such a high-ranking official would come to a place like this.

No wonder his subordinates are so capable.

The Yuan Dynasty tomb, though worth some money, shouldn't be enough to attract a governor of Guangdong to rob it. It's not a big deal.

After being shocked, Luo Laowai immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying, "I'm sorry, Governor Shen, please spare my life. Tell me what I did wrong, and I will correct it, okay?"

I only beg you to spare my life. I, Luo Laowai, will repay you by serving you like a slave.

In Luo Laowai's mind, he thought Shen Hao was crazy. Why would a Grand Commander come to Ping Mountain to arrest him? He was insane.

Shen Hao said, "You'll have to ask her about that."
