Burning incense and praying, worshiping Guan Gong three times, Li Weiguo and Su Sanlang inexplicably became sworn brothers.

Everyone knew that this kind of swornship was driven by the interests. The reason why Su Sanlang agreed to rely on the word "Yi" of sworn brothers to restrain Li Weiguo and prevent him from betraying him. After all, it was a very secret matter that he led the Fire Hall to join Hong Xiuquan, and he could not tolerate any news. He did not want to be deceived when he engaged in arms dealing with Li Weiguo.

Of course, Su Sanlang naturally believes that as long as he is a sworn brother, he will not betray him, and this is his belief.

But for Li Weiguo, he had more plans. First, he was to appease Su Sanlang so that he would not doubt his sincerity and facilitate continued cooperation; second, the world was chaotic, and he would offend a certain gang and faction at any time. With a Tiandihui Rebellion as his backer, it would save a lot of trouble; third, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rebellion is imminent, sweeping most of the land of China, and lasting for more than ten years. Li Wei's country is in Jiangning, and in the future, he must deal with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. At this time, Su Sanlang will be highly valued when he helps Hong Xiuquan. In the future, with the help of Su Sanlang, he can join the senior management of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and a certain bureau will be in the future.

The two of them have finished their swornship, and there is no need to celebrate.

Li Weiguo held a banquet for entertainment, and Su Sanlang was also happy. The two brothers talked about the wine and sang the wine, told each other the stories around them, and introduced them to each other.

It was forced by the situation that Su Sanlang took over as the Lord of the Liehuotang. His righteous brother, the old Lord of the Liehuotang, was assassinated on the day of his wedding. There was a disagreement within the Heaven and Earth Association. The dispute finally fell on Su Sanlang. He thought that Su Sanlang could not be convinced by the public in his youth, but unexpectedly, Su Sanlang had his own plan and did not want to be a puppet. Therefore, he planned to participate in the great cause of helping Hong Xiuquan to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty to gain qualifications and capital.

"Brother, don't worry, if you have me to help you, your trip to Guangxi will be successful." Li Weiguo promised with his chest.

"Then I would like to thank you for your brother!" Su Sanlang said happily: "To be honest, Qinggou is keeping a close eye on us. This batch of weapons has not been transported out, so it is secretly stored in the dock warehouse of the Jiangzhu Gang. Now, with your care, I must have traveled smoothly on the British merchant ship. I wish you a cup of honor to me."

Li Weiguo raised his glass and said with a smile: "Brother said this and I'm so happy. I can help my brother. However, it may be very difficult for Hong Xiuquan to start the uprising. Brother must be more careful and don't take any risk easily. I got three hundred muskets from the British, three tons of raw lead and one hundred barrels of gun medicine to my elder brother. I can't guarantee that I can help my elder brother achieve Hong Xiuquan's heavy use, at least I can protect myself."

"Three - Three Hundred Muskets!" Su Sanlang was a little stuttered when he heard this. He was excited. He knew what these three hundred muskets mean. Their power and range were far superior to those of crossbows. They were a weapon of war. The Qing army had extremely strict control over firearms, and even their Tiandihui was difficult to get. How could he not be excited when he heard that Li Weiguo had three hundred muskets given to him at the first time.

"Thank you, brother! With three hundred muskets, brother Wei will definitely be reused from Hong Xiuquan, but what does the three tons of raw lead mean?"

Li Weiguo explained: "The foreigners' muskets are killed by firing projectiles, and the projectile is made of raw lead."

Su Sanlang nodded. He knew a little about the firearm, but he also had some unknown points. He asked again: "What does three tons mean?"

"Three tons? Uh..." Li Weiguo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "One ton is two thousand kilograms, and three tons is six thousand kilograms. This is the weighing unit in the West."

Only then did Su Sanlang understand that three tons of raw lead and three hundred muskets were too expensive. He was a little flattered and asked, "I'm afraid that these things will not be easily brought even if you are valued by foreigners, right?"

Li Weiguo smiled and said, "To be honest, I did take a lot of effort to convince them. This foreigner valued the most. My brother will come to Hong Xiuquan's place. He just needs to help him and I cooperate with the arms deal, which will help me a lot."

Su Sanlang suddenly realized that his brother had this intention and was smart, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, I will naturally do my best to help me with this matter. But if Hong Xiuquan fails to uprising, then brother, your efforts will be wasted."

After saying that, Su Sanlang glanced at Li Weiguo with a deep meaning.

Li Weiguo didn't care at all, but said confidently: "I'm just doing things based on my heart. I'm just talking about this when I met my elder brother. Even if Hong Xiuquan fails, it doesn't matter. Is it investment? There is success and failure."

"Okay! Just tell me about your trust and friendship with Brother Yi, I will give you a cup of honor!" Su Sanlang shouted happily, raised his glass to invite him, and also looked at Li Weiguo in his heart.

Li Weiguo also laughed loudly and raised his glass to drink together.

"I heard that Lingzun was in prison, you don't have to worry, brother. This little thing is to my brother. I will take someone to rescue Lingzun tonight and let your family reunite."

Su Sanlang didn't know how to repay Li Weiguo's friendship, so he raised this matter and wanted to help him.

Li Weiguo shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I have my own way to do this, so I won't bother you. However, the people under my command may not understand the use of firearms and combat. If you trust me, I can invite foreign instructors to help me train, so as to help me succeed."

When Su Sanlang heard this, he was overjoyed and thanked Li Weiguo again. The two of them unknowingly drank a lot of wine and were both a little drunk.

When Li Weiguo saw that Su Sanlang's handsome and snow-white face was covered with blush and his unique appearance, he was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that Li Weiguo was staring at him, Su Sanlang asked, "What are you looking at? Could it be that there is a flower on your face?"

Li Weiguo was immediately embarrassed, withdrew his gaze and laughed: "Brother's face really makes me jealous. I am so handsome and tight. Just now, I was dazzled and I actually thought that there was a peerless beauty sitting in front of me. If I drink too much, I must have drunk too much. If someone misunderstood it was Long Yang's obsession, it would be bad, haha!"

"Ah Pu!" Su Sanlang suddenly felt excited when he heard this, and squirted out a sip of wine, nervous and embarrassed, with a very wonderful expression.

The two bodyguards behind him also showed strange looks and exchanged glances with each other. One of them stepped forward and said, "Mr. Li, it's getting late. There are still many important things in our hall waiting for the master to go back to deal with. Do you think we'll be here first today?"

When Li Weiguo heard this, he felt embarrassed to drink it again, so he exchanged a few more greetings with Su Sanlang and personally sent the three of them away.

Watching the three of them leave, Li Weiguo immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He got rid of danger today and released another overall situation in the future. He was very happy.

John also had to admire Li Weiguo, and even the people of the Tiandihui were settled. This ability was shocking.

"Does that Hong Xiuquan really want to rebel?" John asked, somewhat suspicious.

"Of course!" Li Weiguo's simple and direct answer was very affirmative.

"Then I have to report to the embassy immediately. This matter is very important and may affect the British Empire's judgment on the situation in the south." John said, leaving in a hurry.

Li Weiguo smiled slightly and said, God really helped me. As long as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is in chaos, it will be the time for him to take advantage of the situation and make great achievements.

Heroes come from troubled times, and heroes are created in the times, but who do I give up this hero for?

In the next few days, the Jiangzhu Gang was in a civil strife. The third brother Bai Jian suddenly rebelled with the secret cooperation of the Tiandihui. The eldest brother Jiang Tao was injured and fled. The second brother was killed. The Tiandihui took back the stolen weapons and was transported to Guangxi by British merchant ships.

The new leader of the gang, Bai Jian, came to visit Li Weiguo in person and gave him 30,000 taels of silver as a gift. Only then did Li Weiguo realize that the white sword was actually an undercover agent of the Tiandihui who was placed in the Jiangzhu Gang. He couldn't help but be shocked by the huge energy and means of the Tiandihui, and his heart was also alert.

The 30,000 taels of silver bill was obviously instructed by Su Sanlang to Li Weiguo. He repayed the kindness of Li Weiguo who promised to help Tiandihui transport weapons to Guangxi and gave him 300 muskets and 6,000 kilograms of lead.

Obviously, Su Sanlang could give the silver notes to Li Weiguo in person at the beginning, but he didn't do that, but handed the silver notes to Li Weiguo in this way, which just showed that Su Sanlang recognized him as a brother of the beloved brother.

Li Weiguo smiled slightly and handed John 20,000 taels of silver notes as the purchase and freight of this batch of arms. He had 10,000 taels left. This was given to him by Su Sanlang for free, and it was a big gift.

After all, Li Weiguo is now penniless, and many plans in his mind cannot be implemented because he has no money for the time being. Now this ten thousand taels of silver bills just solve his urgent needs.

Sure enough, you have to rely on your brothers when you are away!

It is true that people feel refreshed when they are happy when they are happy, and good things are in pairs.

After John reported to the British Embassy one by one, such as Li Weiguo settled the Tiandihui and reached an arms deal with the Tiandihui, Sir Bao Ling became more sure that Li Weiguo was a rare talent. At the same time, he established good relations with the Tiandihui, the largest opposition armed Tiandihui in the Qing Empire, and agreed with the British interests in China. So Sir Bao Ling no longer hesitated and came forward in person to inform the Qing government.

According to Article 9 of the Sino-British Jiangning Treaty: "Anyone who is a Chinese who lives in a town occupied by the British, who has had contact with the British, or who has followed and waited for British officials, will be surrendered by the Emperor and copied the world, and will be completely exempted from punishment; and anyone who is a Chinese who is imprisoned for British affairs will be released with grace."

Bao Ling used this to force the Qing government. In the end, the Military Affairs Office had no choice but to issue a special document, requiring the Jiangning Prefect to re-examine the Li Yanming case and allow Li Yanming to be released on bail and could be maintained at home, but he was not allowed to leave Jiangning before the case was closed.

Li Weiguo took his mother to the Jiangning Prefectural Office in person. After simple procedures, he was able to take out his father Li Yanming.

Li Yanming suffered a lot in prison and was injured. Fortunately, Li Weiguo asked John to take care of him more, and John personally told the prefect of Jiangning, which promptly stopped the forces behind those who wanted to kill Li Yanming in prison. Otherwise, Li Yanming would have already died at this moment.

Before he knew it, Li Weiguo saved his father again, avoiding the tragedy of becoming a human being and losing his relatives again, and was filled with emotion for a moment.

It is a joy to reunite the family. Li Weiguo is filial to the two elders, so there is no need to explain in detail.

As for the Li family’s injustice, the Jiangning Prefectural Office said that it would investigate thoroughly, but it was obviously not active. Li Weiguo knew very well that since a big man in the capital deliberately wanted to deal with the Li family, it was obviously not possible to resolve it in one or two days.

Fortunately, the family's life is not hindered, which is the greatest capital. As for the enemies behind it, Li Wei and the National Assembly will take them out little by little to take revenge.

My father's mind was the same as his mother. As soon as he came out, he asked about Fu Shanxiang's news. Li Weiguo was helpless. He also wanted to see his historical celebrity wife as soon as possible. Unfortunately, he used the power of the government. Later, the Tiandihui and Jiangzhu Gang also expressed their help to find it, but there was no news.

It is a bit unreasonable that a living person has no news at all.

Li Weiguo suspected that Fu Shanxiang should have been rescued and deliberately wiped out her whereabouts and hidden her identity. He may have left Jiangning at this time, because Fu Shanxiang in history only appeared after the Taiping Army occupied Jiangning. At that time, she had joined the Taiping Army and soon entered the top leadership of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with her peerless beauty and talent as a female top scholar.

Do you really have to wait two years before you can meet Fu Shanxiang?

Li Weiguo was worried that Jiangning would be in the den of a tiger at that time. But Fu Shanxiang was both talented and beautiful, and would attract attention wherever he went, arousing the desire for men to grab and possess. It is said that the Tianjing Incident back then was also closely related to Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing's dispute over Fu Shanxiang's ownership. At that time, it would be very difficult to bring his wife out of Jiangning. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.
