Chapter 52: Lady Qin (5)
After reading the book of the flying pigeon, Ah You said softly: "My brother is in danger!" β
"Last night, the Craftsman Alliance attacked the Ink Celestial Craftsman, I am afraid it was revenge on Qin Beiyang. They have great powers, and they must have found this factory on the bank of the Huangpu River, which is under the name of Taibai Mountain and Qin Beiyang. The Artisan Union also deliberately set off fireworks on the Bund so that the whole of Shanghai could see the sign of the One-Eyed Pyramid, which was a murder notice! β
came back from studying in Cambridge, England, and Li Longsheng analyzed it quite like a detective.
"Little Lord!" Lao Jin knelt in front of Ah You and clasped his fists with both hands, "You can blame the master!" He did not covet Qi Yuanshan and Ouyang Anna in Guangzhou, but went to Japan alone and carried the Nine Colors to assassinate the Great Venerable of the Craftsman Alliance. The master is definitely the number one hero of the Assassin League for 600 years, and has accomplished great things that generations of Assassins have failed to accomplish. This time, he became the veritable heir of Assasin, the master of Mount Taibai, and the leader of the Assassin League. Assassins from all over the world will bow down to him! β
"No, he's in the middle of nowhere!" Ah You sighed at the sky, "Since the day my brother was born, he has been in constant danger, he was confined to the underground palace in order to save me, he was framed by us as a murderer in the Shanghai Public Concession, and we pushed him to the position of puppet of the leader of the Assassin Alliance, and took on the dangers that should not have been borne by him. I'm sorry, brother, but I'm the one who bothered you. β
However, Li Longsheng saw it openly, and comforted Ah You: "This is Qin Beiyang's destined great cause, and it is also the only way to achieve him, whether it is for the Assassin Alliance or the Artisan Alliance." β
Ah You turned back coldly and said, "I just want my husband to live well, and I don't want him to be a hero!" If anyone has to take the risk, then I'm here. β
"Beiyang has a wife like you, I wonder if he is lucky?"
Li Longsheng's words were tingling, Ah You had already heard it, but he didn't pay attention to it, and said to himself: "My brother assassinated the Great Venerable on September 1, and now nearly two months have passed, and the Craftsman Alliance is still chasing and killing him. It stands to reason that he has caused such a great calamity, and he must come back to me for help, why is there no news? Unless...... He's still in Japan? β
"Little Lord, what do you mean ......?"
"Let's go to Japan to find him." Ah You walked to the bank of the Huangpu River, with the fields of Lujiazui behind him, the ruins of the factory after the explosion, "Let's go today." β
Late autumn 1923.
Ah You, Lao Jin, and Nakayama took a ship from Haneda Kisen Co., Ltd. and crossed the East China Sea to Japan in search of Qin Beiyang.
Before leaving Shanghai, Ah You left a bank check with three million silver dollars written on it, and gave it to Qian Ke, Li Longsheng and Xiaojun Wang as an additional investment in Taibai Mountain's ink master Tiangong. With this money, the company was able to weather the storm: pay the pensions of the victims, clean up the rubble after the aftermath of the explosion, and start from scratch in the construction of the factory.
Qian Ke and the others were grateful, but for Ah You, it was just a gift for her husband, and when Qin Beiyang returned to China, he could continue to play with this big toy.
At the same time, Ah Youxiu sent a letter back to Taibai Mountain through the flying pigeon, ordering the assassins to practice martial arts diligently. This is a world war between the Craftsmen League and the Assassin Alliance, and it is necessary to strictly guard against the invasion of foreign enemies, and the tragedy of the destruction of Taibai Mountain 14 years ago must not be repeated. She also sent a number of assassins to Beijing, Tianjin, the three eastern provinces, Shandong, Fujian, Guangdong and other places, and even went to Bailuyuan and Dharma Mountain, all of which were places where Qin Beiyang had walked.
Crossing the East China Sea, Ayu first went to Kobe, then took the train to Osaka, and found the headquarters of Haneda Trading Company at Kirin Shrine in Shitennoji. The Assassins knew that Qin Beiyang had a family named Taiki Haneda in Japan, and that this person was also one of the big chaebols in Japan, so perhaps he knew Qin Beiyang's whereabouts. Unfortunately, two days before Ayu's arrival in Osaka, Taiki Haneda had already gone on a business trip to the United States to discuss the acquisition of a steamship company. In order to break through the interface between Washington and Wall Street, it will take at least three or four months to return to Japan.
Ah Yu and the other three went to Tokyo again. The reconstruction after the Great Kanto Earthquake had just begun, and they came to the Japanese Bridge of the legendary Qin Beiyang Assassin Venerable, the underground temple had long since collapsed without a trace, but the unicorn wings on the bridge were watching Ah You.
She was sure that Qin Beiyang was still in Japan.
They had settled in Tokyo, and the Assassins had become accustomed to sleeping in the open without having to stay in hotels. It's under the bridge of Nihonbashi or in the rooftop loft of Tokyo Station. However, Ah You, Lao Jin and Zhongshan do not understand Japanese, so it is quite inconvenient to investigate.
By chance, they met Wenzhou workers working in Japan, only to learn that after the Great Kanto Earthquake, the Japanese military had massacred Koreans and Chinese, but fortunately they were rescued by a young man in a craftsman's uniform and a big dog with a red mane - needless to say, this is Qin Beiyang and Nine Colors.
Ah You hired three overseas Chinese as translators, and accompanied him, Lao Jin and Zhongshan to travel around Tokyo and Yokohama to find Qin Beiyang's whereabouts. She had made up her mind that if she didn't hear from her husband, she wouldn't return to China.
She knew that Qin Beiyang could only survive in the ancient tomb. They dig graves everywhere in Japan, but unfortunately the Japanese are almost always cremated, and it is not easy to find a coffin with bones hidden. It stands to reason that Qin Beiyang will not be able to survive in Japan for a long time......
From autumn to winter, the search area also expands from the Kanto region to the entire Japanese archipelago.
When Ah You walked to the northern land zone, he heard that there was a monster in the local area, which was a big dog with a red mane during the day, and turned into a unicorn with antlers at night, devouring poisonous chemicals everywhere. When I arrived in snow-capped Hokkaido, I saw many brown bears that had been killed, and the frozen corpses had traces of nine-colored antlers. On the coastline of Kyushu, he traveled all over Japan and listened to fishermen talk about a monster called "γ΄γΈγ©" who went down to the sea to hunt a large number of dolphins until the blood stained the cove......
This so-called "γ΄γΈγ©",Undoubtedly, it is the nine colors of the town's tomb beastsγ
As long as you find the nine colors, you can find Qin Beiyang, which has been the consistent logic for the past six years.
As a senior "tomb beast hunter", Lao Jin has a natural sensitivity to tomb beasts, just like an old hunter can easily smell the smell of wolves. Lao Jin took the lead in searching for the Nine Colors, and found its footprints several times, but let it slip away quietly. The small town tomb beast seems to have found that someone is following, and its ability is not what it used to be, making it extremely difficult for Lao Jin to chase after it. Several times, they can only chase Nine-Color's ass and find a chemical plant or power plant that has been destroyed into ruins by the town's grave beasts.
In 1924, the beginning of spring.
Ah You, Lao Jin and Nakayama came to Yokohama. In the bamboo forest behind Chinatown, the ruins and broken walls that have not been restored so far, Lao Jin felt the breath of the tomb beast.
"Nine colors!" Ah You pulled away the little girl's sharp voice, "Are you waiting for the master?" I'm here too! Please come out! β
A pair of glass-colored eyes floated out of the bamboo forest.
Ah You looked at these eyes and felt that Dao Jiu Se was emitting a foul smell all over his body, as if he was carrying the corpse of a rotting tomb owner. Its gaze was dim, the corners of its mouth were covered with a metallic poisonous liquid, its red mane was almost purple, and its white fluff had become dirty. The most surprising thing is that the size of the nine colors seems to have increased a circle, if it used to look like an English mastiff, now it looks more like a German black-backed, or even a Baskerville hunting dog.
She crouched down and said, "Nine colors! I swear I will find Qin Beiyang! β
