The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 185 The crisis is resolved, Fang Mu leaves

"Fuck, why are you here?"

Cao Cao was surprised. Jiang Gan was clearly one of the first people to disappear, so why did he appear on the way to school now?

"Hey, President, today is the school anniversary. As the vice president of the student union, why can't I come to school?"

Jiang Gan put his hands on his hips and said in an extremely arrogant manner.

"Is today the school anniversary?"

Everyone looked at each other. Although they didn't know how Jiang Gan got out, Jiang Gan's memory seemed to still be stuck on the day he was captured.

"The school anniversary has already passed?"

"Ah, what? Did I oversleep again?"

Jiang Gan suddenly let out a long cry and looked at the date on his Siman phone, realizing that the school anniversary had indeed passed. (It was the same principle as a cell phone. Siman had no signal in the wormhole and the date hadn't been updated. After Jiang Gan emerged, Siman automatically adjusted the time.)

"Since Jiang Gan is back, does that mean the other students are back too, including Fang Mu? That's why he was able to send someone to give us the photo album?"

Xiu pondered for a moment and said, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, thinking that what Xiu said made sense, so several people quickly ran towards the school.

……

"Classmates, are you really all back?!"

As soon as they entered the school gate, they heard a familiar noise again, and then saw their classmates cleaning the campus. Although they had no memory of the school anniversary, judging from the mess on the ground, their school anniversary must have been very fun!

"I used to think the noise from my classmates during recess was too loud, but now it sounds so full of energy and vitality!"

Cao Cao stretched and looked at his classmates at school with a smile on his face.

"That's right, everyone is having a great time, that's the best!"

Huang Zhong's face was also full of relief. It seemed that it was their persistence that made Dong Zhuo surrender.

"Where's the master?"

Ma Chao looked around, searching for Fang Mu. Logically speaking, Fang Mu was very familiar with their internal energy. Once Fang Mu sensed their breath, he should rush over to see them immediately.

"Let me look for it!"

Cao Cao closed his eyes and added all his strength to his perception. In an instant, his perception covered the entire Eastern Han Academy, searching for Fang Mu's scent.

"how is this possible?"

Cao Cao suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"did you find it?"

"There's no sign of Brother Fang in the Eastern Han Academy?"

Cao Cao shook his head and frowned immediately.

"Could it be that he couldn't find us at school and has gone home?"

"That's not to say they won't even call us once, right?"

As Xiu spoke, he clicked on the siman in his hand and started calling Fang Mu.

"Ding-ling-ling... Ding-ling-ling... Beep-beep..."

As the sound of "no number available" continued to be heard from the siman, everyone's faces suddenly became extremely solemn.

"Could it be that this was Dong Zhuo's trick? He captured Fang Mu and released these insignificant students?"

Ah Xiang made a bold guess and came to a very scary conclusion.

"That shouldn't be possible. If that were the case, then Ah Xiang's photo album wouldn't be in our hands!"

"Could it be that Brother Fang has really left as the letter said?"

Cao Cao sighed, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"I just don't know why he left without saying goodbye!"

Xiu couldn't figure out why Fang Mu left for a moment, and could only assume that he had more important things to do.

……

"See you, my lord!"

"See you, my lord!"

"Meet the prince!"

……

Here, in a luxurious manor in Xiliang, a young man wearing a brocade robe with a Qilin pattern walked forward with calm steps.

As he walked, he was followed by two rows of fully equipped and well-trained soldiers, their hands always tightly gripping their guns, ready to shoot and kill any enemy that might affect their master.

As the young man continued walking, the servants around him saluted him one after another. The young man raised his hand slightly, and the servants slowly stood up. After the young man left, they continued to work.

The young man walked along the road, his frail body walking very steadily. Whether it was his demeanor or his grace, anyone who saw him could not help but praise him as a peerless handsome young man.

However, only those who have been to the battlefield can see the overwhelming murderous aura behind the young man. Between the young man's eyebrows, there is a boundless murderous aura.

"Crash..."

As the young man arrived at the center of the manor, which was the place used for meetings, he sat at the highest seat at a conference table. On both sides of the table sat counselors.

"bye!"

"See—your—prince—"

The counselors on both sides of the conference table stood up and bowed to the young man at the top of the table.

"sit!"

Fang Mu slowly uttered the word "sit". After hearing it, all the counselors saluted Fang Mu again, then sat respectfully on the chair and looked at Fang Mu with awe.

"Boyue, tell me!"

Fang Mu knocked on the table with one hand. As Fang Mu spoke, a young man sitting closest to him stood up. The young man, whom Fang Mu called Bo Yue, had a delicate appearance. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses not only did not block his delicate appearance, but instead added a touch of elegance to him.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Wei stood up, took out a folding fan from his waist and opened it.

"In the six months since you left the palace, Your Highness, Han Sui, Zhang Xiu, Li Jue, Zhang Ji, and Guo Si have diligently trained their troops without slacking off. Now, all of our Xiliang troops have reached elite status, and 30% of them have reached the standard of death squads!"

After listening to Jiang Wei's report, Fang Mu's expression remained unmoved. The counselors below looked at each other, unable to tell Fang Mu's emotions.

"continue!"

Jiang Wei seemed to have anticipated Fang Mu's reaction, but he didn't care and continued speaking.

"Our Xiliang army has now expanded to 50,000 men, reaching the maximum number of troops required by the imperial court for a prince. We will obey your orders, fight to support the war, and combine farming with fighting. Now, in our Xiliang region, regardless of age or gender, everyone can mount a horse and fight!"

Fang Mu nodded slightly upon hearing this, but he never raised his eyes for a moment. Jiang Wei continued to strike while the iron was hot.

"In the past six months, we have built three small dams, two power plants, and five smelters according to the blueprints you provided. Our total revenue last quarter has exceeded twenty-five times what it was before you, Your Highness, came to us. Furthermore, we have made great progress in exporting our goods. Whether it's selling oil to Runan, exporting spices to Jiangdong, or selling weapons to the Yellow Turban region, we dominate the market!"

……

After Jiang Wei finished his work report, more than 20 counselors came to report to Fang Mu. However, during their reports, people were constantly dragged out by the soldiers outside. With bursts of gunfire, some officials in the room were scared pale, and some were crying.

Three hours later, the table in front of Fang Mu was piled high with documents, and everyone's reports and performance reports were nearing completion.

As the generals, counselors and local officials were escorted away by their troops armed with real guns and live ammunition, Jiang Wei, who was standing next to Fang Mu, finally couldn't hold back anymore. He took out a small bottle from his waist, opened the cap and started drinking.

"Your Majesty, would you like to have a bite too?"

Jiang Wei burped and handed the bottle to Fang Mu.

"No need, I don't have as big of an alcohol addiction as you!"

Fang Mu waved his hand, then motioned for Jiang Wei to follow him.

"I've finished talking about the obvious things, now it's time to talk about some shameful things!"

As the two walked into a conversation room again, Fang Mu pressed a button and all the gaps around the room were blocked. Even Fang Mu's personal guards could only stand outside the conversation room.

"In addition to the 5 regular troops on the surface, I have also asked Zhang Xiu and the other five to prepare your private army. Although the number is small, only 1, they have already reached the standard of an iron-blooded army!"

Jiang Wei said cheerfully that the conversation room had been soundproofed long ago, and he was not worried at all that their conversation would be overheard by outsiders.

"Furthermore, after six months of planning, we've already taken control of the economic lifelines of the three major regions of Jiangdong, Runan, and the Yellow Turban University-occupied areas. As for smaller places like Zhangzhou and Tengzhou, their leaders have long been replaced by our people!"

Jiang Wei took a sip of wine. The light hit his glasses, making it difficult to see his eyes clearly.
