The Mysterious Republic of China, the Ultimate Martial Saint!

Chapter 19 The Red Talisman Girl

Yongkang County.

Downstream of Meijiang Wharf, in a thatched hut area.

The houses here are all simple thatched huts.

It leaks water when it rains and lets in wind when it's windy.

Even so, many poor people from Yongkang County still live here.

The houses in the city, built with both earth and wood, were very expensive and ordinary people couldn't afford them, let alone the high-class houses built with bricks and tiles.

"Yang Changhong has already gone to Yunnan Province to request Governor Wen Han to send troops."

"For two whole days, why didn't anyone report such a big news as Yang Changhong's disappearance?"

"Are all of you useless?"

Inside the thatched hut, Weng Jingyuan, a spirit official dressed in red, roared angrily at the people in front of him.

The Divine Talisman Society had long been eyeing Yongkang County and had been secretly arranging for its followers to preach in the city.

Although they were discovered by police patrols during their missionary work, it did not affect them, because the invasion had already begun.

They also implicated people within the police station.

Although their attempt to recruit Police Chief Zhao Xingzhou by having Hong Fu Nu turn against him failed, they still gained control of Zhao Xingzhou's son, Zhao Chenguang, and thereby learned about some of the police station's secret operations.

Just like the raid launched by the police station's inspectorate against them, after learning about the situation, they first laid multiple traps, causing the inspectorate's people to suffer heavy losses and many people to die.

The overall situation is very favorable. They can once again replicate the glory of Yuning County, make great contributions, and receive the blessing of the Mother of the Talisman.

But things took a turn for the worse after he learned that Yang Changhong had secretly left Yongkang County two days earlier to seek help in Yunnan Province and had even brought back reinforcements!

The latest letter from Yunnan Province says that Yunnan Province has already sent troops towards Yongkang County!

"Who would have thought that Yang Changhong would leave on a cargo ship late at night, heading directly to Yunnan for help?"

"Furthermore, the surveillance of the Yang residence has always been arranged by you, Officer Weng Lingfu. Now that something has gone wrong, you're trying to pin the blame on me?"

"The Zhao family I managed never had such a big problem."

The woman in red veil, Yu Yi, replied with a displeased expression.

She wore a red gauze dress, revealing her alluring and graceful figure. As she walked, the special red runes on her waist became even more eye-catching and drew attention.

Since arriving in Yongkang County, Weng Jingyuan has directly used the difference in strength as a pretext to forcefully seize the initiative, wanting to claim all the credit for the victory in the city.

Within the Divine Talisman Society, the lowest rank is Talisman Follower (believer), and the ranks above are Talisman Granter, Talisman Master, Spirit Talisman Official, and Talisman King.

The Red Talisman Maiden holds a special position within the Divine Talisman Society, on par with the Spirit Talisman Official, but her strength is a level weaker. Faced with the powerful Weng Jingyuan, Yu Yi has no choice but to back down.

Within the Divine Talisman Society, the Red Talisman Maiden is merely a candidate for Holy Maiden. If Yu Yi wants to climb up the ranks, she needs to make sufficient contributions to the Divine Talisman Society.

Once you become a saintess, you will receive the blessing of the Mother of Talismans, break free from your mortal body, and master powerful extraordinary abilities.

If the mission is successfully completed, Weng Jingyuan will receive the main credit, while Yu Yi will receive less credit, which is why she is very dissatisfied with this.

Upon hearing Weng Jingyuan's words, Yu Yi instantly flew into a rage!

They actually wanted to pin this huge blame on her.

Because only the two of them, who are the highest-ranking, can take the blame for this.

"Snapped!"

"Yu Hongfu, I need to remind you, Zhao Xingzhou hasn't seen County Chief Yang Changhong for two days. Do you think that's normal?"

"Such a major and unusual piece of news, and you didn't report it at all."

"In this situation, we are in a very passive position. How can we share the pressure with Yuning County?"

A flash of red light appeared on Weng Jingyuan's body, and he slapped the solid wood table to pieces, shattering it into pieces and making a huge noise.

The scene terrified the imperial envoys present, leaving them speechless.

"snort!"

"Weng Lingfu, after arriving here, you not only forcibly seized control, but now that something has gone wrong, you want to pin the blame on me. How can you expect to get away with this?"

"You've made such a huge mistake. I've already sent word that once Mother Fu finds out, she will surely punish you. You can't escape it."

After watching a figure disappear quietly, Yu Yi said with a cold smile.

Within the Divine Talisman Society, in the Red Talisman lineage, becoming a Red Talisman Woman is not simply a matter of outstanding looks; one must also possess sufficient ability and means, otherwise, one would have long been devoured and left without even a trace.

"You're fine."

Weng Jingyuan's eyes widened in anger, and his aura grew stronger and stronger, making everyone around him feel the pressure.

The Spirit Talisman Officers within the Divine Talisman Society are on par with martial arts masters, possessing astonishing combat power.

It can be said that, under normal circumstances, all these people combined would not be a match for Weng Jingyuan alone.

"I'm perfectly fine."

Yu Yi met his gaze coldly, her face showing no fear.

As a Red Talisman Maiden, she also possesses special abilities.

"call!"

"It's pointless to continue discussing Yang Changhong's matter now. Our priority is to capture the city before reinforcements from Yunnan Province arrive."

"If we fail to capture the city, my guilt will be unforgivable, but you will not escape responsibility either."

After taking a deep breath, Weng Jingyuan spoke calmly.

His expression changed so quickly it was astonishing, completely different from his previous furious appearance.

"That's natural."

"I will use the Zhao family's resources to provide support."

"It would be even better if we could take down the Yang family first. If we had Yang Changhui, Yang Jian and other direct descendants of the Yang family in our hands, it would make Yang Changhong hesitate to act, thus buying us more time."

Yu Yi gave a cold laugh and replied indifferently.

The person in front of her, with his fierce but cowardly demeanor, was clearly trying to force her to take responsibility. This was his usual domineering tactic; it was a test of who could withstand the pressure first.

Yu Yi saw things clearly and had already prepared a solution.

The reason she still chose to cooperate at this point was because if she failed to capture the city, she wouldn't fare any better. According to the rules of the Red Talisman lineage of the Divine Talisman Society, the blame would definitely fall on her after the failure.

"Alright, let's take down the Yang family first."

"Since Yang Changhong ran away, he took his anger out on the entire Yang family first."

Weng Jingyuan said through gritted teeth.

His eyes were filled with intense killing intent.

His plan was perfectly arranged, but he never expected Yang Changhong to be so slippery and sneak away ahead of time. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a passive position now.

......

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sound of intense gunfire rang out in Yongkang County.

Inside the west wing of the Yang residence, Yang Jian, who was studying the Ouchang, felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

Something has happened in the city!

Such a dense barrage of gunfire must mean something big has happened.

What made him even more uneasy was that the gunshots were getting closer and closer.

Meanwhile, sounds of fighting also broke out inside the Yang residence.

This situation is very strange.

"Second Master, what's wrong?"

Shen Nianxin ran over to the room in a panic and asked worriedly.

She was inside and had no idea what was happening outside.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Yang Jian offered words of comfort.

He had a revolver hanging at his waist, a silver long gun in his right hand, and a long spear in his left.

He didn't want to destroy this strange and evil object, which posed little threat.

Because the Ouchang has high research value, it can help him find some characteristics of strange and evil creatures.

The contents recorded in "The Book of Strange Things" are only a part of the information about strange and strange creatures. More details can only be known by personal contact.

He had previously killed water monkeys and examined their corpses closely. Therefore, after reading the water monkey chapter of "The Strange Tales," he recorded his thoughts and feelings on it.

For example, the taste of water monkey eyes is terrible.
