Chapter 17: The Dragon Sword Rises in the Storm
On the Wuling Mountain in Xinglong, Rehe, Chen Shao'an, who was defeated in the wine and martial arts competition at the Qingyuanheng Hotel, gradually recovered from his injuries. As Huo Yuanjia's last disciple, he was originally confident in looking at the world and had few opponents, but Rehe's fiasco made him let go of his former arrogance.
"Brother, are your injuries all healed?" Sister Chen Meiyun walked into Chen Shaoan's room.
"It's no big deal, is there any news from Chengde these days?"
"The current Rehe is very weird, all the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods have come out, and the Nine Dragons Sword is still nothing. Liu San, who was stabbed a thousand times, was never seen. I've wasted hue in vain. ”
"Forget it, there are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't have to force it. It seems that the Nine Dragons Sword is not our brother and sister's possession after all. What about Sun Xiaochen? ”
"I have secretly sent him to Jincheng according to your instructions."
"Didn't let him see the situation of our cottage clearly, did you?"
"Brother, don't worry, when he goes up and down the mountain, he wears a hood and covers it tightly. His brothers are also very clever and promise that there will be no problems. ”
"You crazy girl, the last time you hid the treasure sword, you said that you promised that there would be no problems, but how did you let Liu San steal it?"
"Brother! Last time I personally took the Erhu and Lao Hao Hidden Treasure Sword, who knew that Liu San would be there to relieve him. Who knew that Liu San had a ghost in his heart! Chen Meiyun said in a loud voice.
"Okay sister, be careful in the future, in this world, people's hearts are not ancient!"
"By the way, brother, why did you come back this time, why are you so decadent! Who the hell is the master who injured you! ”
"I'm ashamed to say that person is not as old as me, but his kung fu is very weird, and it seems to be a fusion of Western boxing. Not only that, but the people they are all good at, almost all of them are below me, and the person at the head, even I can't see his cultivation, that person either has no martial arts, or he has cultivated to the realm of returning to the basics. There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people! ”
"What? When did we have so many masters in Rehe? Impossible, right? ”
"How could it not be? The last person to compete with me reported that the number was from the Seven Elders Tuwolong Mountain. You must know that Wolong Mountain is now the most mysterious force in Rehe, and no force can find out his true strength. ”
"Report to the big boss and the second boss, news came from Rehe that Liu San was arrested by the Japanese." Copycat cannon head Zhu Erhu hurriedly came to report.
"What? How could Liu San fall into the hands of the Japanese, he has no sword in his hand, what is the Japanese still doing with him?" Chen Shaoan asked urgently.
According to Rehe's eyeliner report, Liu San got a lot of money as a sword, and began to spend a lot of money on wine, and later the Bancheng pawnshop owner Sun Xicheng's family was wiped out, and all forces began to intervene, Liu San saw that the situation was not good, and hid in a brothel opened by the Japanese. Until a few days ago, the money in Liu San's hands was almost squandered, and the Japanese began to treat him coldly, and once he was drunk and spoke, he was taken away by Japanese spies! ”
"Liu San must have mastered some clues? Otherwise, it would be useless for the Japanese to arrest him! Brother, let's go to Rehe City immediately! Chen Meiyun rolled her eyes and said.
"Forget it, sister. Now the water of the Rehe River is too deep. Just with our brothers and sisters and these dozens of people, we can't fight any of the forces! ”
"Brother, why are you so depressed when you come back this time, where is the previous heroism? Are you not afraid of losing your master's name? Besides, the master died after being plotted by the Japanese, and this revenge has not been avenged yet! If you don't go, I'll go! ”
Of course, Chen Shaoan did not lose his fighting spirit, the defeat of this competition made him restrain his former arrogance, he soberly analyzed the current situation, and if he wanted to regain the Nine Dragon Sword, he was bound to ascend to the sky. But he couldn't stand his sister's ridicule, and he knew his sister Chen Meiyun's temperament, so he had to accompany his sister and rushed to Rehe with his capable forces.
In the Rehe Wangji grocery store, a middle-aged man who was slightly depressed looked out of the store from time to time. From time to time, customers arrived, which did not cheer him up.
At this moment, a man wearing a top hat, sunglasses, and a civilization stick walked in.
"Boss, do you have fresh hazel mushrooms on the dam?" The middle-aged man who was still languishing just now had his eyes lit up and got up to receive him.
"Sir, there are no fresh hazel mushrooms this season, and the freshly harvested meat mushrooms are also very good. Do you want it? ”
"What condition? What's the price? ”
"Full of red, 10 copper characters a pound."
"Really? I have to look at the goods first, in the fixed quantity. ”
"Okay, please come with me!"
The middle-aged man asked the guy to take care of the business at the front desk, and led the visitor to the back hall.
"Comrade Zhengfeng, I can look forward to you!" The person who came was Duan Zhengfeng, Zhang Shaoshuai's special envoy.
"Comrade Zhixian, you have also worked hard!" The middle-aged man was none other than Liu Zhixian, who was rescued by Mu Han from Lushun Prison and later left from Wolong Mountain in a fit of anger.
"Comrade Zhixian, I heard that you were rescued in the city, and that person solved all the devils in the city alone. Who is he sacred? ”
Liu Zhixian's face darkened and sighed, "This person can be described as a prodigy, he is a descendant of the Boxer Rebellion, he has read poetry and Western science since he was a child, he is proficient in several Chinese, and his skills are unfathomable, and after the age of 16, he has gone to Germany, France, Britain and other European countries to study military and science and technology. He analyzed that Japan would definitely launch a large-scale war of aggression against China in the future, so he went to study at the Tokyo Military Academy in Japan for nearly three years, which was comparable to the three noncommissioned officers of the Japanese Army Noncommissioned Officer School, namely Jiang, Zhang, and Cai. Now he is lurking in the Fujikawa Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army. ”
"Ahh How can there be such a genius? Why is Lao Liu, your face so sad? ”
"I'm blaming myself, this wizard is the Seven Elders of Rehe, Tuwolongshan. I had the opportunity to recruit both him and his family into the organization, but I was too anxious. ”
"What the hell is going on?"
Liu Zhixian told the story of Wolong Mountain.
"What, you're talking about Wolong Mountain, the most mysterious mountain in Rehe right now?"
"Not bad! The forces of Wolong Mountain were composed of the elite forces of the Boxers and their descendants, who learned the lessons of the defeat of the Boxers, and on the basis of refining martial arts, practiced marksmanship diligently, and worked hard to learn the concept of modern warfare, although the number was not large, only more than 100 people, but each of them was a master, and they could definitely be ten or even a hundred. Originally, my student Han Xing was an active member of the party that I developed in Mukden, and he was the backbone of their new generation, and through his influence, I thought that I could smoothly adapt them, but I didn't expect that I was too anxious, and as a result, it caused their disgust and backfired. ”
"Lao Liu, as long as we do our work more meticulously and patiently, I think we will win their approval." Duan Zhengfeng said comfortingly.
"Okay, let's not talk about these things. How is the situation of your military commanders in mastering the Nine Dragons Sword? ”
"I was assigned by Zhang Shaoshuai, and his opinion was that it was better to destroy the sword than to let any force get the treasure, after all, the treasure was in Zhang Shaoshuai's territory, and he could find it slowly. And Yu Youhai was sent by Chairman Chiang for almost the same purpose, he would rather destroy the sword, but the treasure must not be obtained by our party. Now Yu Youhai and I are investigating in two ways, and now we only know that the final whereabouts of the sword may have been taken by the cloud crane of Mochizuki Temple, but after our investigation, Mochizuki Temple is now empty. The sword is still nowhere to be seen. However, the Japanese caught Liu San, the swordsman, and they didn't know what new the situation would be. ”
Liu San didn't have to worry, he could know who robbed the sword at the beginning, and who he saw when he bet on the sword, at most, he found Mochizuki, but this clue was still broken. The most important thing now is where did the people who looked at the moon go? Or someone is controlling it, that's the most important thing. Liu Zhixian analyzed.
In the Rehe Kaikan, Mu Han and Ki Nan Yoyuki carefully sipped Japanese sake.
"I really didn't expect to be able to taste the wine of my hometown in the distant Rehe, which is really a great blessing in life! Come to Qi Nanjun, let's have another drink, just this one! I won't be able to drink it again! ”
"Mu Hanjun, you've been here for a while, how is the matter of the Nine Dragons Sword investigated?"
"Qi Nanjun, I was about to discuss with you, the martial arts masters of country Z that I have incorporated are not simple, and a few of them are Rehe people, and they have already raised eyebrows by mobilizing their respective family and division forces."
"Ahh Mu Hanjun is really talented, tell me about your gains. ”
"My subordinates have preliminarily ascertained that it was a group of people from the Rehe Daheishan Moon View who killed the family of Sun Xicheng, the owner of the Bancheng pawnshop, and robbed the Nine Dragons Sword. I'm about to report that Fujikawa-kun has borrowed troops from him! My current subordinates can only do things such as reconnaissance, tracking, and assassination. The large-scale suppression of mountain bandits is still not enough, and our army of the Great Japanese Empire is the most sure, and if it succeeds, our military expenses will be greatly sufficient! I can also get Principal Tsuchihara's approval. Then you can ...... with Miss Keiko. Hehehe. ”
Ki Nan Yangzhi was taken aback when he heard this, and he didn't expect that Kihan Ichiro, who could only talk on paper, would actually walk in front of him. "Mu Hanjun is really worthy of the top students of the Tokyo Military Academy, Qi Nan Yangzhi admires, our special high class only caught Liu San, who was a swordman, and he only explained the original sword robber and the two lamas he saw when he was a sword that day. I didn't expect Mu Hanjun to be really heroic! I'll toast you. ”
Mu Han was also slightly surprised: the strength of Little Japan is really not to be underestimated, and so many have been found in such a short period of time.
"I just picked up the cheap, they are all capable of their subordinates, by the way, Qi Nanjun, who robbed the sword in the first place, how did they know about the Nine Dragons Sword?" Mu Han asked.
"Hehe, Mu Hanjun, the Liu San we captured was one of the original sword robbers, they were a group of bandits in Xinglong Wuling Mountain. In fact, at the beginning, they didn't know about the Nine Dragons Sword, it was Sun Ying's nephew Sun Xiaochen's lustful and bad things, and they fell in love with Chen Meiyun, the second leader of the bandits, but they were robbed by others. The big boss of that gang of bandits is Chen Shaoan, who lost in the final of the Qingyuanheng Wine Fighting Martial Arts Competition that day! ”
Mu Han was secretly shocked in his heart: the Japanese power in Rehe had reached such a point that it was almost pervasive, so he was even more determined in his plan, so he had a plan in his heart.
