Chapter 23: One Person Equals One Pig

  Due to the arrival of Shao Shuai, the dinner party lasted until very late at night. After it ended, Shao Shuai called Wang Changtiger over and said: "On April 2nd, bring your family members and a few trusted subordinates to my banquet, I have something to tell you. Also, tomorrow your troops will be expanded, lieutenant colonel is no longer suitable for you, I think you should be promoted one more level." Shao Shuai suddenly leaned into Wang Changtiger's ear and said: "You killed so many Japanese people, I'm very happy, you're not bad." Wang Changtiger stood at attention with a "slap" sound, and replied in a low voice: "For China."

  The young marshal left with a happy and excited expression, but Wang Changhu was depressed and wanted to find more financial resources. He secretly targeted Long Mei'er.

  At night, Wang Changhu called Long Meier to Li Xiao's bedroom. After entering the door, Wang Changhu quietly closed the door and turned around to nod towards the bed. Long Meier obediently sat on the edge of the bed, with her hands and feet in disarray, lowering her head, a faint blush spreading across her face.

  Wang Changhu looked at Long Meier with a gaze like a small sheep, thinking about how to get the money that Long Meier had stolen before going to jail; he turned Long Meier over onto the bed with both hands and lay down beside her, their conversation began.

  Wang Changhu said: "Mei er, how do you think I've been treating you?"

  Long Mei'er heard this and her nose turned sour, tears falling down. She said in a bad temper: "Heartless, overbearing."

  Wang Changhu said: "Is this the impression I gave you?"

  Long Mei'er continued: "You're not ruthless, you hit him twice; you're not overbearing, you turned him into your person."

  "Are you unwilling to become one of mine?"

  Long Mei'er said shyly: "No, I still like you being a bit overbearing, but I don't understand, why do you want Tingyu to be the eldest sister? Are we not doing well?"

  Long Mei'er carefully chose her words.

  Wang Changhu's face suddenly turned serious, and he said: "Mei'er, you don't know, I've already died once. For ordinary people, death is the end of the physical body, but for me, killing my master who was like a father to me is a pain that makes life worse than death. Do you know what it's like to knowingly be dead yet still have to maintain your emotions and make others feel guilty? I, Wang Changhu, am not human... Waaaahhh..."

  Long Mei'er saw a man cry like this for the first time, and it was her own man. Her maternal love surged up instantly. Slowly, she wrapped Wang Changhu's head in her arms and comforted him, saying: "My Tiger is the strongest man, don't cry!"

  Wang Changhu continued: "I came to this world, originally wanting to die once and for all. But Yu Jie was kind and righteous, she paid a lot for me. I, Wang Changhu, am not an ungrateful person. Whoever treats me with one kindness, I will repay with a hundred kindnesses. Of course, you have also been very good to me, but it's still not as timely as Yu Jie's help in my time of need. In the future, take your time getting along with her, she is still a good person to get along with."

  Wang Changhu raised his head, took a look at Long Meier, and saw that Long Meier's face was flushed red. He exclaimed in surprise: "What's wrong with you?" Rubbing his head, he said: "I'm not even feverish!" Long Meier snorted: "You're the one who's **ed up!"

  Wang Changhu suddenly realized: "It's a chemical reaction, I'm coming."

  The beauty of life starts from the shaking of the bed.

  After a fierce battle that lasted for more than an hour, the two finally came to a halt and began their hushed conversation. Wang Changhu said: "Mei'er, does your sect need money?"

  "Yes, because we need to train a lot of people every year, and that costs money."

  Wang Changhu asked again: "What's the point of training so many people?"

  Long Mei'er said: "Where there are people, there is a rivers and lakes; we train these people mainly for self-protection. Those who perform well in training are sent to officials and nobles; those who do not do well go to brothels and bookstores. On the one hand, they can get some protection from power; on the other hand, they can obtain some intelligence and financial resources. This time I came to deal with the situation in Northeast China and took the opportunity to train a batch of personnel. We will adjust our controlled brothels and bookstores, replace them with young people... My master said that the situation in Northeast China is not good, we must take action first..."

  As she spoke, Long Mei'er stared steadily at Wang Changtian and said: "You, you won't have designs on my master's sect, will you?"

  Wang Changhu awkwardly smiled and said: "How could that be? I just wanted to ask you, where did all your money go?"

  Long Mei'er said to Wang Changhu: "Wang Changhu, you are shameless. I will fight with you today." After that, she kicked and beat Wang Changhu with all her might.

  Wang Changhu grasped Long Meier's hands with both of his and clamped her legs between his, saying: "Meier, listen to me, listen to me."

  Long Mei'er said: "I won't listen, I won't listen..." Her body was twisting violently.

  Intense stimulation ignited Wang Changhu's beastly nature; he covered Long Meier's mouth with his, one hand losing control...

  After everything was done, Long Mei'er lowered her head and drew circles on Wang Changhu's chest with her little finger, saying: "Tiger, you are my nemesis. Originally, I wanted to tell you this matter these past few days, but you were busy and couldn't be seen anywhere. You even used this method to force me to agree to it, you're too overbearing. However, the one leading the training team is my junior sister, and I haven't met her before. I heard from Master that my junior sister went to Japan a long time ago and just came back this year, she's very formidable. I can give you money, but you must help with the personnel training, you can't take the money and not do anything about it!"

  Wang Changhu said: "Don't worry, I'll arrange for you to go to Beida Camp. By the way, how many people are there in your group?"

  Long Mei'er said: "There are over 300, all of them are 15 or 16 years old little girls, you can't have a bad mind, otherwise, I'll whip that bad guy to death with my whip." After finishing speaking, she fiercely pulled Xiao Wang Changhu once.

  Wang Changhu gritted his teeth and promised: "I will definitely guard myself like jade for them, with a clear conscience..."

  Long Mei'er asked Wang Changhu a question: "What is a chemical reaction?"

  "It's when two substances meet and through collision, heating, and dissolving, create a new substance, that's called a chemical reaction."

  Long Mei'er asked shyly again: "Does giving birth count as a chemical reaction?"

  Wang Changhu looked at Long Meier in surprise, with an expectant face, and gritted his teeth: "Alright."

  Long Mei'er said with a blush: "You're so bad..."

  After finishing this matter, Wang Changhu found Hu Jingzhong, the military officer and Huang Yifei, and said to them: "The soldiers will arrive tomorrow. Tell Officer Liu to bring back Liu Fang tomorrow morning to participate in the selection of officers. Brothers have done a good job recently. The top 100 are exempt from 20 yuan, the top 50 are exempt from 50 yuan, and the top 20 are exempt from 100 yuan. This time we will select 20 officers, and the content of the examination includes: formation, combat, marksmanship, bayonet fighting, tactical movements, etc. In addition, there will be a drill every month, and the first place winner will be exempt from 100 yuan personally. The soldiers who stay in the command post will each be exempt from 10 yuan. Women will not participate this time. Now you go notify them that tomorrow we invite the brothers of the Seventh Brigade to come and watch our selection, let them open their eyes.

  The two of them ran out with joy.

  The quartermaster stayed behind, and Wang Changhu said: "Report it, let's see how much family property we have?"

  The quartermaster said: "Yes, our department currently has 15,100 taels of gold; about 6 million rounds of silver coins; 1,072 pieces of gold jewelry; 2,000 pieces of silver jewelry; more than 3,000 pieces of jade; over 1,000 pieces of precious stones; 2,000 rifles, 40 light machine guns, 20 heavy machine guns, and over 300,000 rounds of various types of ammunition. Two large radio transmitters, sixteen small radio transmitters; sixteen mortars, 400 shells; ten grenade launchers, one hundred boxes of hand grenades. In addition, there are more than 700 pieces of various antiques; more than 400 paintings; more than 2,000 pieces of various utensils; over 10,000 books; and several thousand other items that are not particularly valuable."

  "Is that all?" asked Wang Changhu.

  The quartermaster said, "That's all I have. I received a call from Liu Fang saying that there are still some things in the basement of the Liu family compound. I didn't go to see it myself, but I estimate that there won't be more than 2 million rounds of ammunition and no more than 3,000 taels of gold. The brothers also collected some foreign currency, about a few hundred thousand yuan, which I brought with me. Do you want to take a look?"

  Wang Changhu became interested and took over the three bags brought by the military officer, opening them one by one to take a look: The first bag was all US dollars, mostly small bills with not many large ones. The second bag contained British pounds, also mostly small bills with very few large ones.

  The third bag contained some miscellaneous currency.

  "Where did these come from?" Wang Changhu asked.

  The quartermaster replied: "Brothers looted some foreign restaurants, clubs, and some were personal collections.

  "Alright, leave these here. Tomorrow, get things done efficiently, we are now a team, willing to work with me?" Wang Changhu asked.

  "The military officer saluted with a 'crack': 'Wishing to forever follow the superior's side.'"

  Wang Changhu said: "Alright, tomorrow I'll find someone to take care of your relationship with your subordinates."

  The first thing Wang Changtian did on the second day was to get the military supply officer's relationship done.

  Benlai Shaozhai had already greeted General Wang Yizhe and told him to allocate 400 logistics soldiers, but now Wang Changhu is rich and oily, so Wang Yizhe wants to take advantage of him and give his own soldiers a small celebration.

  General Wang Yizhe received him in his office: "Ah, isn't this Colonel Wang! Rare guest, rare guest, please come in quickly, please come in quickly."

  Wang Changhu took one look at Wang Yizhe's appearance and understood a bit in his heart. He said, "Speak, what price?"

  Wang Yizhe awkwardly smiled and said: "Not many, 400 people. One person per pig head. As long as the 400 pigs arrive, you can take the people."

  Wang Changhu added: "I'll choose people, 400 people, in exchange for 400 pigs, I agree."
