The Republic of China: Twins with a beautiful start, navigating a troubled world

Outside Panlong County!

A winding ancient road, like a dragon, shuttles through the mountains.

Rumble!

At this moment, loud noises suddenly came from the distance, and a group of fully armed troops were seen marching in a mighty formation, at least five thousand people.

Each soldier is wearing a military uniform, holding his head high and carrying a handful of Sanba Gaigai on his back. His eyes are sharp and his waist is straight. At first glance, he looks like a battle-hardened warrior.

In the army, there were more than a dozen officers riding war horses, all of them holding their heads high and looking heroic.

The leader is a middle-aged man in his forties, of medium build, slightly stout, wearing a brand-new military uniform, covered with badges and armbands, and wearing a pair of shiny black riding boots on his feet. There is a pair of white gloves on the hand holding the reins, and an officer's hat on his head. His waist is straight, and he looks majestic and extraordinary.

And this person is the warlord of "Fengtai Province" (fictitious place name, don't contact reality) - Zhang Shitian!

Guarding more than a dozen counties, including Panlong County, he can be regarded as the highest local military commander.

Bang bang bang!

At this moment, bursts of intense gunfire suddenly came from the distance.

Wow!

The soldiers immediately stopped, raised their guns neatly and quickly, and were ready for battle.

"Report! Lord Governor, there is intensive gunfire from the direction of Panlong County ahead." A soldier ran over from the front, saluted Zhang Shitian with a military salute, and reported quickly.

"Ok?"

Zhang Shitian raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "You are so brave, you dare to shoot in the county town, give me the order to move forward at full speed!"

"Full speed ahead!"

"Full speed ahead!"

As the messenger conveyed Zhang Shitian's order, the soldiers immediately started running in order, heading towards Panlong County at an extremely fast speed.

"Sir, it must have been that Zhou Qilong had already taken action against someone from the Fang family, and that's when the gunfight broke out." Next to Zhang Shitian, a man with glasses on horseback said.

Zhang Shitian nodded, "This kid has been dormant in Panlong County for so long. He must have caught the Fang family's hand, and then he hurriedly acted. Otherwise, he wouldn't have written to me."

"It's just that the noise was a bit too loud. If the crow is found, your Excellency can keep him and even reward him. But if not, I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to intervene," said the man with glasses.

"Don't worry, I have dealt with Zhou Qilong several times. He is a thoughtful and forbearing person. If he was not sure, he would not write to me."

"He knows that your Excellency hates crows so much that he wrote to you."

"Hmph! Within my jurisdiction, there are still people who dare to run the opium business and poison the compatriots. I, Zhang Shitian, was the first to let them go." Zhang Shitian snorted, with murderous intent bursting out of his eyes, and then he Then he said softly: "Actually, what I'm more interested in is a man named Zhao Long."

From Zhou Qilong's letter, he learned about Zhao Long.

"Well, this person's identity is indeed somewhat mysterious. We also have some connections with Yanjing, but there are no clues at all." The man with glasses said.

“When you get to Panlong County, you’ll know it when you see it.”

Accompanied by the sound of horses and whips, Zhang Shitian sped up and rushed to Panlong County. However, before they arrived, they saw more than ten people suddenly appearing in front of them, and the leader was Zhou Qilong.

"stop!"

Zhang Shitian gave the order and the army immediately stopped.

Zhou Qilong was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurried up to meet him, but was stopped by soldiers.

"Let him in." Zhang Shitian said.

"Yes!" the soldiers responded and all made way.

Zhou Qilong hurriedly ran to Zhang Shitian, saluted with a military salute, and said respectfully: "Xiaoguan Panlong County Magistrate Zhou Qilong has met the Governor."

"Yes." Zhang Shitian nodded and said, "Zhou Qilong, your Panlong County is very lively today. You can hear gunfire from so far away."

"Report to the Governor, as the police chief, Xia Biao not only failed to protect peace, but also violated the law, allowing the Fang family to run the opium business and poisoning his compatriots. Now a gun battle is breaking out in the county, and I am ready to arrest the Fang family. and Xia Biao, it is a pity that they resisted, and the military governor has not yet been able to bring justice to the subordinate." Zhou Qilong knew that time was urgent, so he went straight to the point without any nonsense.

Zhang Shitian frowned slightly and asked, "Does the Fang family run the opium business and have sufficient evidence?"

"Don't worry, sir, the crows have been found now, and the number is huge."

"Hmph! The Fang family is really brave. County Magistrate Zhou, please lead the way. If it is true as you say, I will definitely take charge of the overall situation for you."

"Thank you, Lord Overseer."

Zhou Qilong was overjoyed, and after thanking him, he quickly returned to Panlong County with his people.

Zhang Shitian followed with a group of troops in a mighty manner.
