Chapter 2 Transporting Grain? What's the point of transporting grain when there are giant rats
When the light before my eyes shone again.
Li Wu Hui took a closer look.
He found himself dressed in a dark blue Taoist robe, in an antique-style bedroom, with a sword hanging at his waist and a bronze mirror in the shape of a Bagua plate in his hand.
He picked up the Bagua bronze mirror and looked at his reflection.
With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, he possessed a refined and energetic spirit, and had an ordinary yet handsome face that was exactly the same as his own.
Her hair was as black as ink and reached her waist, even smoother than Head & Shoulders GG.
What a remarkable young Taoist immortal!
Li Wu Hui put down the Bagua bronze mirror, a slight smile playing on his lips.
His physical appearance was nothing but an uninteresting facade; what truly brought him joy was the power of his body, which was now more than ten times stronger than before.
His eyes narrowed, and a personal attribute panel popped up.
【Li Wu Hui】
[Identity: Elder of Logistics in the Taoist Sect]
[Troop Level: 4 (0/1000)]
Military Merits: 0
[Skills: Level 5 Flying Eagle Sword Technique (Max Level), Level 3 Cloud Ladder Leap (89/100)]
[Treasures: Level 4 Taoist Sword, Level 5 Evil-Proof Bagua Mirror]
[Combat Strength Rating: Unrivaled among Tier 4 units; can wipe out hundreds with a single blow and escape unscathed; slightly weaker in pursuit.]
"Great, turns out I'm invincible among Tier 4 units!"
Li Wu Hui grinned.
My sense of security has increased by three points.
However, he dared not be arrogant or complacent, as this was the peak combat power that could only be achieved with a level 4 sword and level 5 swordsmanship.
If his sword is knocked away, or if he is surrounded and attacked by multiple level 3 soldiers in close combat, he cannot guarantee victory.
"Try to fight as many battles as you can, because you still have too little combat experience."
"Moreover, if I die, all the lifespan I consumed in my previous life will be wasted!"
Li Wu Hui calmed his agitated emotions.
Then he looked at the Bagua bronze mirror placed beside the bed.
There was no magical light, nor did it give me any special feeling.
If I hadn't looked at the stats, I would never have known it was a level 5 treasure.
Against ordinary enemies, it probably wouldn't be very useful.
Li Wu Hui then thought of the name of this war: Ghost King Emperor!
"This Bagua bronze mirror must be for protecting against the Ghost King Emperor, right?"
"No, perhaps we should also include the generals, fierce warriors, and personal guards he recruited."
After thinking for a moment, Li Wu Hui put the Bagua bronze mirror into his bosom, deciding to carry it with him as a heart-protecting mirror.
I just finished tidying up the clothes.
A knock came at the door.
"Elder Li, it's time to inspect the grain transport team."
Li Wu Hui's gaze shifted to the tightly closed wooden door.
Golden notification text appeared.
[Military Merit Clues]
[The person outside the door is Gao Mingyue, a direct descendant of the Daoist sect and a Level 2 messenger girl. She is intelligent but lacks practical combat experience. She is very loyal and deeply trusted by the sect's upper echelons. She is only temporarily serving as your direct subordinate, and she seems to have some doubts in her heart.]
Ok.
Are there Taoist geniuses with connections?
If used properly, it can be a help; if used improperly, it can be a stumbling block.
Li Wu Hui understood, and a kind smile appeared on his face.
"Come in."
"Yes, Elder Li."
Gao Mingyue pushed open the door and entered.
What came into Li Wu Hui's view was a petite woman who was just over 1.5 meters tall, with a very delicate face, long black hair tied into two horns, and two bright black eyes staring intently at him.
Her peach-pink lips seemed to want to say something but held back.
"Mingyue, is there something you want to say? Please speak freely."
Li Wuhui smiled.
Gao Mingyue's face lit up slightly, and she quickly said:
"Elder Li, as I mentioned when I first joined your ranks, we have received three urgent requests for grain in the past month. Mingyue finds this very unusual."
Urgent need for food.
It seems the situation at the front lines isn't good.
Li Wu Hui nodded calmly: "I understand. Is there anything else?"
Gao Mingyue's lips parted slightly, but she quickly closed them again.
He gently shook his head: "That's all. Elder Li, please inspect the grain transport team."
They're still hiding it!
Li Wu Hui frowned, his voice suddenly turning cold:
"Does the Moon Maiden lack ambition? Does she believe the Daoist sect is on the verge of collapse?"
Gao Mingyue looked up in astonishment:
"How could that be?! Elder Li, even if you are a senior, you cannot slander me with mere words. The Daoist sect is the leading righteous path in the world, protecting the people of the three continents, seven prefectures, and forty-one cities. They frequently provide free medical care and use labor as payment to buy land and give it to poor farmers. Their merit in saving lives is immeasurable!"
"I don't believe that such a righteous sect would perish because of a wicked new emperor."
"He still has some backbone; he is indeed a direct disciple of our Taoist sect."
Li Wu Hui's expression softened slightly as he continued to press for answers:
"So, are you having some questions about martial arts and wish to seek guidance from me, your elder?"
Seeing this, Gao Mingyue knew the misunderstanding had been cleared up and breathed a sigh of relief.
He bowed respectfully to Li Wu Hui and said, "This disciple has decent talent. Although my martial arts level has been stuck at level 2 for several months, my swordsmanship and movement techniques have both advanced to level 3. I should not need to trouble the elders to give me any more guidance."
"Then what exactly is the reason you dare not speak the truth to me?"
Li Wu Hui emphasized.
Gao Mingyue hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind and spoke:
"This disciple suspects there's something wrong with the grain transport team; there might be insiders lining their own pockets, or even colluding with foreign enemies to have the grain intercepted!"
"This judgment is not unfounded. I have previously assisted several logistics elders, and they have all received urgent requests for food from the front lines on multiple occasions."
"Judging from the number of grain transport teams that successfully delivered the supplies, while the grain was not abundant, it wasn't urgent enough to warrant sending out requests for grain, let alone multiple requests for grain in a short period of time!"
"Mingyue had reminded the elders many times before, but was criticized for making unwarranted speculations and was assigned to a position by the Daoist sect, eventually ending up here with Elder Li."
After explaining the whole situation.
Gao Mingyue cautiously looked up at Li Wuhui, only to see a calm and indifferent face.
This relieved her; at least this time she hadn't angered the logistics elder and made him think she had ulterior motives.
After waiting for several breaths, Li Wu Hui still did not utter a word.
Gao Mingyue felt nervous again.
Elder Li looks like a young man, not much older than me. Although he may be much stronger than me, he might still be worried about what the other elders think.
He wouldn't be planning to meddle again, would he?
The more Gao Mingyue thought about it, the more convinced she became, and the more agitated she became!
No, not even if the elders don't care.
I can't just ignore this matter anymore.
Otherwise, if the Daoist sect were to suffer a major defeat on the main battlefield due to the failure to deliver military supplies, then I would be a sinner against the sect!
"Moon Maiden, Moon Maiden."
"Gao Mingyue! What are you standing there for?"
The urgent shouts startled Gao Mingyue from her thoughts, and she had already accepted that Elder Li would no longer meddle in other people's business.
She quickly responded:
"Yes, Elder Li, I will take you to inspect the grain transport team now."
After saying that, Gao Mingyue turned around and was about to lead the way for him.
Dengdeng!
Li Wu Hui had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped.
Gao Mingyue turned around in confusion and looked at Li Wuhui.
Li Wu Hui's expression was serious:
"Transport grain? Why would we transport grain when the warehouse is full of rats!"
"Gao Mingyue!"
Gao Mingyue's expression brightened: "Yes."
Li Wu Hui was the first to step out the door: "Follow this elder in handling the case!"
Handling cases, not investigating them.
Gao Mingyue was stunned: "Uh, Elder Li, shouldn't we investigate first?"
Naive girl.
"Why so much talk?"
Li Wu Hui rolled her eyes in annoyance. Who would give prior notice before investigating violations? How could they possibly find anything out?
Furthermore, throughout history, when transporting large amounts of money and grain, there has always been an inevitable case of people lining their own pockets and substituting inferior goods for superior ones!
Since there are requests for grain in many places, we are sure we can catch them red-handed.
"Just follow along."
"Yes."
