"Jiu Ye, why are you here?"
In the morning, I received a call from Jiu Ye, saying he had arrived in Guanghai City and was at the train station. This surprised Ancient Sorcerer, who immediately went to pick him up.
"Just came to take a look, and I have a few things to discuss with you."
Seeing that Jiu Ye looked well, even glowing with health, Ancient Sorcerer felt relieved. He had thought Jiu Ye was in a hurry to find him for something urgent.
"Smack!"
Ancient Sorcerer gave Tie Niu a slap on the back of his head and said, "Why didn't you call me earlier?"
"Hey, Brother Tian, Jiu Ye said you were busy, so he would call you when he arrived."
Luo Tieniu rubbed his head and laughed cheerfully.
The train station was bustling with people, so it wasn't a good place to talk. Ancient Sorcerer drove and first took Jiu Ye and Luo Tieniu to the Blue Sky Hotel.
"Brother Tian, it seems you're doing quite well."
Luo Tieniu looked around the room's decor. This was a presidential suite in a five-star hotel, and it was his first time staying in such a place. The lobby alone was nearly a hundred square meters, furnished entirely with mahogany furniture and antiques. Even someone who didn't know much could tell it was extraordinarily valuable.
Jiu Ye, coming from a military background, didn't care much about these things. After sitting down at the tea table, he directly said, "Ancient Sorcerer, I have two matters to discuss this time."
"Jiu Ye, go ahead."
Ancient Sorcerer didn't care and was just like a curious child, wandering around until Tie Niu poured water for Jiu Ye before sitting down.
"The matter regarding Rare Earth in the village has been settled. The money you left behind played an important role, and with Zhao Wei involved, there weren't too many problems. Tie Niu did very well."
"Hey, Brother Tian, I chased away some people who wanted to take advantage of the situation."
After wandering around, Luo Tieniu plopped down on the sofa.
"Ancient Sorcerer, you really have an eye for talent. If it weren't for Tie Niu, this would have been quite difficult to handle."
Speaking of this matter, Jiu Ye couldn't help but admire Ancient Sorcerer's insight. At the time when Ancient Sorcerer suggested having Tie Niu oversee the entire situation, he had some concerns, but it turned out he was wrong. Tie Niu's powerful approach worked wonders, driving away anyone who tried to take advantage.
"Great! This is good news! If handled well, our village will be set for life."
Ancient Sorcerer was also very pleased. Luo Family Village had been poor for a thousand years, and discovering such a good opportunity was absolutely fantastic.
"By the way, Jiu Ye, you have other matters to discuss, right?"
If it were just this issue, Jiu Ye could have simply communicated it over the phone. Since he came in person, there must be something else.
As expected, Jiu Ye nodded and said, "Actually, I want to take you to see a doctor for someone—a brother from the army who saved my life."
During a battle back then, he had charged in too recklessly and ended up getting hurt. If it weren't for Fang Daoming bringing people to rescue him, he would have died a hundred times over.
"Alright, no problem. We can leave right now."
Ancient Sorcerer was once a soldier, so he naturally understood the deep bonds formed in the midst of war. Without hesitation, he agreed.
"Alright."
As night fell, Ancient Sorcerer parked the car in a secluded area on the outskirts of Guanghai City.
After getting out of the car, Ancient Sorcerer noticed that a military helicopter was already waiting in a flat area, surrounded by several individuals. Although they were dressed in civilian clothes, their demeanor clearly indicated that they were elite forces.
"It seems that Jiu Ye's brother is not an ordinary person."
Ancient Sorcerer felt quite curious about who this person was that Jiu Ye wanted him to treat, as the setup was quite significant.
An hour later, when the helicopter landed, they were already deep in the mountains.
"Boss, it looks like this is a secret base."
Tie Niu jumped out of the helicopter and immediately approached Ancient Sorcerer, whispering.
"Yes, that's right."
Ancient Sorcerer nodded lightly.
The group was now at the bottom of a valley. Looking ahead, there was an open plain where tanks roared past in formation, while armed helicopters flew overhead.
Having been among the sharpest of the sharp before, Ancient Sorcerer quickly recognized that this was a joint training exercise for tanks and armed helicopters—a major weapon in modern warfare!
Walking along a small path and entering a forest, the Ancient Sorcerer saw a two-story Small Building with a Yard, where two soldiers stood at the entrance like statues.
It was clear that Jiu Ye had been here before; as soon as the two soldiers saw him, they immediately saluted and said, "Hello, Commander!"
"Ah... Is Old Commander Fang here?"
Jiu Ye waved his hand, a smile appearing on his old face.
"Commander Fang is in the Yard. He said you could go in directly."
The Ancient Sorcerer was taken aback and exchanged a glance with Tie Niu, secretly shocked that Jiu Ye's brother was actually a commander!
"Okay, I understand."
Jiu Ye nodded and stepped inside. The Ancient Sorcerer and Tie Niu naturally followed. Upon entering the Yard, they saw an old man lying on a rattan chair.
"Brother Jiu, you're here. I was going to come get you, but unfortunately, I can't stand up."
Jiu Ye's eyes turned red as he quickly walked over and squatted down beside the rattan chair, saying, "Old Commander Fang, there's no need to be so polite; we're not outsiders."
A soldier would rather die on the battlefield than suffer in a hospital bed. How could Jiu Ye not understand how painful it was for Fang Daoming not to be able to stand?
Such heavy killing intent!
Looking at the Ancient Sorcerer and Tie Niu, Fang Daoming's eyes twitched. In his youth, he had killed countless enemies on the battlefield. After the war ended, he spent his entire life in the military camp. He could see at a glance that the Ancient Sorcerer and Tie Niu standing before him—especially the Ancient Sorcerer—were like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath. The invisible killing intent made him feel as if his skin had been cut by a knife, causing goosebumps to rise!
“Old Commander Fang, these are two young men from my village, one is Ancient Sorcerer, and the other, who is as strong as an ox, is called Tie Niu.”
Jiu Ye controlled his emotions and introduced them to Fang Daoming.
“Elder Fang, hello.”
Ancient Sorcerer stepped forward. The elderly man before him had a large frame but was so thin that he seemed almost devoid of flesh. His white hair, deeply sunken eyes, and face that appeared ashen indicated he was gravely ill.
“Ah, so you are Ancient Sorcerer. It seems I will be relying on you this time.”
Three years ago, he had contracted a strange illness that inexplicably weakened him day by day. After numerous ineffective treatments, he had been waiting for death. However, he received a call from his old friend Jiu Ye, who said he was bringing someone to take a look at him, hoping they might be able to cure him.
If there was a chance to live, who would want to die?
Fang Daoming felt the same way and immediately agreed, but he did not expect Ancient Sorcerer to be so young. Yet he understood that with the friendship between Jiu Ye and himself, it was unlikely that Jiu Ye would bring Ancient Sorcerer unless there was some assurance of success.
“Elder Fang, don’t worry, I will do my best.”
As soon as Ancient Sorcerer finished speaking, a steady and powerful sound of footsteps came from outside the door, followed by a cold voice saying, “Who are you? On what basis do you say such things?!”
