Uncle Jiu: I am Chen Yulou, the leader of the Xiangling gang

Chapter 35, Indispensable
Chen Yulou glanced at Liu Haochuan and continued, "If you want to save the country, all three are indispensable."

“Only when these three are combined can the country be strong and the people prosper!”

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yulou said again: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Liang, Mr. Kang and others only tried to save the country through industry and education, but not through military means, so they did not succeed!"

"Because power comes from the barrel of a gun!"

"Without the protection of armed forces, industry will not flourish, and education will not enlighten the people!"

Liu Haochuan looked at Chen Yulou in shock, and gradually became excited.

Industry saves the nation!

Education saves the country!

Military saves the country!

All three are indispensable, and only when they are combined can the country be strong and the people prosper.

The saying that political power comes from the barrel of a gun shocked him even more, as if he had found a faint light in the darkness.

Of course, he had thought about saving the country through industry and education before, but since the late Qing Dynasty, countless predecessors have been doing so, but until now, society is not only not stable, but has become increasingly turbulent.

This also made him realize that industry and education cannot save this country.

It turns out that he still needs military support to save the country!

In particular, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. Military means force. Without the support of force, there will be no stable environment. Without a stable environment, how can we develop industry and establish education?

Liu Haochuan came to his senses and immediately stood up. He bowed deeply to Chen Yulou and said, "Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your guidance. It has opened my eyes!"

"You are welcome!"

Chen Yulou smiled faintly, then sighed and said, "As the saying goes, when the country is in trouble, every citizen has a responsibility. Now that the country is in danger, even though I am a Taoist priest, I am also anxious."

"Now that I've met a patriot like you who has returned from overseas and has a heart to save our country, I can't help but say a few more words."

"Hahahaha... When the country is in trouble, every citizen has a share of responsibility!"

"Unfortunately, too few Chinese people understand this sentence, so the country has been in turmoil until now!" Liu Haochuan laughed loudly, and then showed a helpless bitter smile.

"Master Chen, listening to your words has enlightened me. I believe you are a man of great talent. My own strength is ultimately limited. Why don't you come out and help us save our country from this crisis and our people from this dire situation?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou looked at Liu Haochuan and directly refused, "Brother, you are joking. I am devoted to Taoism. Besides, we Maoshan disciples exorcise demons and save people from danger."

"Although most of the people today are still ignorant, there are many who, like you, are capable of turning the tide and supporting the country from collapse. They are the comrades you should unite with."

Seeing that Chen Yulou directly refused, Liu Haochuan was a little disappointed, but Chen Yulou's words made him see the light.

He should indeed unite with his comrades. After all, how can he alone save the country from collapse?
This time!

The carriage stopped and the driver's voice came from outside into the carriage.

"Master, we've arrived at Wuwang Town!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou immediately stood up and bowed to Liu Haochuan, saying, "Thank you, brother, for giving us a ride!"

"Farewell!"

Although Qiu Sheng was unhappy with Liu Haochuan, he still bowed slightly and said, "Thank you! Goodbye!"

Then, the two men got off the carriage one after the other.

Liu Haochuan quickly lifted the curtain of the car window and said, "Wait, Master Chen!"

Chen Yulou immediately turned around and looked at Liu Haochuan.

Liu Haochuan quickly said, "Master Chen, how can I find you in the future?"

"Why are you looking for me?"

Chen Yulou asked back with a smile. Liu Haochuan immediately said, "Master Chen, you just said that when the country is in trouble, every citizen has a responsibility. Since you are unwilling to leave the mountain, if there is anything I don't understand in the future, I hope to come to you for guidance!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou looked at Liu Haochuan, hesitated for a moment, and then smiled faintly and said, "You can find me at the Renjia Town Charity Hall."

"Farewell!"

"Thank you, Taoist Master Chen. I wish you two good luck in exorcising demons and monsters!" Liu Haochuan bowed to Chen Yulou with satisfaction.

Watching the carriage slowly depart, Qiu Sheng asked curiously, "Junior brother, how do you know so much?"

He simply admired Chen Yulou so much. Not only were he gifted in Taoism, talisman drawing, and martial arts, but his ideas on saving the country even impressed scholars who went abroad to study.

As Chen Yulou walked, he smiled at Qiu Sheng and said, "As the saying goes, there are beautiful women in books. Read more and you will naturally understand more!"

Qiu Sheng looked bitter when he heard this. What he hated most was studying.

"By the way, Junior Brother, do you think Liu Haochuan can really do something to save the country and the people?" Qiu Sheng looked back at the carriage that was going away and asked curiously again.

"Who knows!"

"I hope he can do something. Even if he can't save the country, it would be a good thing if he can save the people in the counties around the mountain city!" Chen Yulou said without turning his head.

Qiu Sheng was startled when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Junior brother, you are right. In this case, I hope that the Grandmaster can bless him and let him achieve something."

Then, the two walked towards the town ahead.

Wuwang Town is larger than Renjia Town. It is a town with a population of over 10,000. This is Chen Yulou's first time here, but Qiu Sheng is familiar with the place.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of Zheng Mansion.

As one of the largest gentry in Wuwang Town, Zheng's Mansion is naturally extremely magnificent. It is a huge courtyard with at least five or six entrances.

There are two huge stone lions with first-class carvings in front of the gate, and there are two guards with guns on their backs at the door.

"The Zheng family is indeed a wealthy family. Their residence is truly magnificent!"

Qiu Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou just smiled. These days, ordinary people are living in dire straits, but these gentry are still living a comfortable life.

"Let's go, deal with it quickly and go back early!" Chen Yulou said with a smile.

Qiu Sheng nodded immediately.

Then, the two of them stepped onto the stairs.

Seeing Chen Yulou and the other man ascend the stairs, two guards carrying guns immediately stepped forward. One of them shouted, "What are you doing?"

Chen Yulou smiled faintly and said, "Go and report it!"

"Just say we are Maoshan disciples!"

Maoshan disciple?

The two guards obviously knew what the Maoshan disciples did. Furthermore, the people in the mansion had been in a state of panic recently. The guard who had been a little arrogant earlier quickly said politely, "Please wait a moment, Taoist priests. I will report to the master immediately!"

After saying that, the guard ran into the mansion without stopping.

After a while, the guard who came to report came out hurriedly with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was Qu Dehai, the steward of the Zheng family who went to the charity cemetery for help yesterday.

When Qu Dehai walked out of the Zheng Mansion gate, he was also startled to see Chen Yulou and Qiu Sheng. Suddenly, he remembered and immediately asked, "Could it be that the two Taoist priests are Uncle Jiu's disciples?"

"Exactly!"

"Master sent me and my senior brother here to help Mr. Zheng get rid of the evil spirits in his house!" Chen Yulou said with a smile.
