Chapter 45 Kung Fu
"It's too much of a deception!"
Li Fushou slammed his fist on the table, his young face became a little distorted because of anger, and the slap on his face was hot and painful, and humiliation and anger were intertwined.
Fiona took a step back in fright and stood silently, knowing something was wrong.
I was not suitable to stay here, and I was afraid of disturbing my husband's thinking, so I hesitated and walked out lightly, and closed the door with my backhand.
In the study
Li Fushou slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity when he looked up to the sky, and walked to the hotel window, overlooking the chimney-lined streets of Detroit.
Although it was a sunny afternoon, the sky was obscured by thick clouds of smoke, and the thick chimneys of the factories were still spewing black smoke, which represented the power of industry in the age of steam.
The hue of the street is gray, and passers-by mostly wear off-white shirts and bowler felt hats on their heads, which are rolled up to reveal their furry arms. It is the most common group of workers in the city.
With continuous deep breathing, Li Fushou forcibly suppressed the violent fluctuations in his heart.
He is now like an active volcano that explodes at the touch of it, full of anger.
Speaker Edward is provoking with radical moves, he is not afraid of making things bigger, and tells Queensland voters with a tough attitude that he will severely crack down on Chinese forces, prove that he is more qualified for the position of governor, and try to turn the tables at the last moment of the governor's election.
Overreacted and played into the hands of the other party.
Hold still, the face is beaten "pop", and it is not ruled out that the other party will have more outrageous actions in the future.
The joint appeal, when it comes to the arrogant British Imperial Navy bureaucracy, will only be thrown into the wastebasket.
An appropriate response may provoke the sensitive nerves of white voters, which is tantamount to helping Speaker Edward.
Think about it
Li Fushou couldn't help but gasp, this move seemed reckless, but it was a good move for a Jedi to turn the game, and it was quite uncomfortable to deal with.
There are more than ten entourages around him at the moment, except for Fiona and two personal bodyguard masters, the others are all errands and specific errands, and none of them can be discussed.
The Red River Valley is still rising too fast, the foundation is too thin, and there are too few suitable people!
Li Fushou lit a Cuban cigar and took a deep breath, his figure was shrouded in pale cyan smoke, exuding a strong tobacco aroma.
Wrong...... I still have cards in my hand.
The upper-class figures who can be involved on the American side basically have no say in this matter, and they run as fast as rabbits one by one, lest they avoid it.
But there was one person who could intervene in this matter, and that was Mr. George Higgins, chairman of the Higgins & Co., an Anglo-American mercenary and bold man who dared to meddle in international hot issues.
Cuban affairs are very sensitive, involving Britain, the United States, Spain and many other powers, this matter was actually done by Higgins, in the name of international humanitarian action, the continuous rescue of white women born in the concentration camps and sent to Australia, won him great honor.
Now that the Red River Valley ranches have been shelled by British warships, the reason for having to stop accepting native-born white women from Cuba for security reasons is entirely justified.
Li Fushou thought about it for a while, and felt that before reacting, he should still have a conversation with Higgins first, and the two sides reached a tacit understanding.
Coldly stopping the acceptance of native white women will be seen as a threat by the other party, and the consequences are serious.
The plan has been decided
Li Fushou Huo Ran stood up and commanded the people waiting outside the door; "Hurry up and pack your bags, arrange for someone to book the nearest train ticket to New York, and wire Mr. Higgins & Co. to inform us of our imminent arrival in New York."
"Yes, sir."
As soon as the words fell
Fiona walked in from outside the door and looked at Li Fushou with a worried expression.
Li Fushou smiled when he saw this; "I'm fine, maybe your shopping plans are going to fail, we're about to leave for New York, where you can have a good time shopping."
"Oh ho, that's great!"
Fiona immediately turned her worries into joy, jumped up excitedly, hugged Li Fushou like an octopus, and pecked him in the face.
She has the romance of a French girl, passionate as fire, and happiness is as simple as that.
Nephrite is warm and fragrant, but unfortunately Li Fushou has no intention of taking it at the moment, and reluctantly pats her back with a smile, Fiona's fair cheeks suddenly turned red, and she had to slip off him and whisper;
"That...... I went to pack my clothes. ”
After saying that, he turned around and ran, leaving only a faint fragrant breeze.
New York
The Big Apple, the city of immigrants' dreams.
In the summer of 1877,
New York City's Grand Central Station Plaza is bustling with people, and it's not far from New York Harbor, the terminus of the Atlantic route.
The flow of people is like a weave, and the passengers who have just arrived at their destination on the Atlantic route cruise ship are crowded in the square and look around, looking at everything new and strange, looking like a hillbilly.
These European immigrants from Ireland, Leverkusen or Lyon came to New York City, where there were many high-rise buildings and pedestrians, and they felt the impact of American power in the age of the steam industry.
The coachman cursed loudly to drive away pedestrians, and several young men in peaked caps moved swiftly through the crowd, reaching into other people's pockets when they were not looking......
New York, the city of hope for tomorrow, is rejuvenating.
"Dear Lee, I love this city, it's noisy and full of life, shall we stay here longer?"
Fiona leaned on the carriage window and looked out, her eyes were not enough, and she suddenly screamed.
It turned out that a clever boy had climbed into the carriage and was looking through the glass......
A big hand like an iron tong carried the boy's thin neck, and with a wave of force, he threw it into the crowd, causing a lot of shouting and scolding.
Fu Peng, a master of Shaolin layman, saw that this little pickpocket had bad intentions, and threw him out of the car, but he stabbed the hornet's nest without thinking.
Places like cruise terminals and railway station squares have always been places where three religions and nine streams gather.
The New York gangs are very powerful here, and even if the passengers lose something, they dare not speak out, and it is useless to call the police.
The world is as black as a crow, and these people are all colluding to buy and sell, cheating, stealing and pickpocketing, and have their own set of rules in the dark world.
Seeing the little pickpocket being thrown out of the car, the luxury carriage was blocked by the crowd of people, and a few big men not far away looked at each other, and the words "big fat sheep" suddenly came to mind, and they rolled up their sleeves and walked over.
In response, dozens of people immediately gathered around him.
"Li, these Italians are scolding us, saying that we have broken his brother, and we have to pay a large amount of compensation for medical expenses, and we have to be responsible for future living expenses, which is simply too much."
Fiona's beautiful eyes were wide open and full of indignation, and her small mouth pursed.
Li Fushou smiled slightly, closed his eyes calmly and asked; "How much do they say it costs?"
"$500, oh my God...... These rude men might as well go and rob. ”
"So what do you think they're doing?"
Fiona reacted and muttered; "How dare they ...... in full view of everyone Isn't there law and order here? ”
"Maybe there is, but it's not the law and order of the United States, it's the underground order of the Italian gangsters, and they have the final say on this territory."
"Oh my God...... I can't believe it. ”
Li Fushou still closed his eyes and recuperated, there were two skilled masters sitting outside the carriage, if he could be bullied by the New York gangsters, he had nothing to say.
The Italian gangsters outside the carriage relied on the strength of the crowd and rushed up, shouting in English, and there were other foul language in Italy, which could not be separated from the four words of extortion.
Fu Peng and Hu Tiesheng all understood, and they were really laughed at by this group of ruffians.
"Brother Tiesheng, you have to be careful not to disturb the little ones, and I will go and deal with this group of thieves, so that they will not buzz like flies." Fu Peng didn't pay attention to this group of thieves.
Hu Tiesheng got down from the carriage seat, stood side by side with him, and said;
"Your Shaolin kung fu is hard to tie the hard horse, and it will hurt the muscles and bones at the lightest, and the life will be injured at the worst, so it is better to guard the owner and let me solve it."
"This ......"
"I'm measured, you can rest assured."
"Then it's going to be a problem for the Ironborn brothers."
The two people didn't pay attention to each other when they asked and answered, and immediately angered each other, and several strong men rushed up with the shining blades in their arms, and they were about to splash blood on the spot.
That's when it happened
Master Hu Tiesheng suddenly took a big stride to meet the other party, flashed his blade sideways, and instantly approached, sinking his waist and shaking his shoulders and suddenly "hey".
As if he had been hit head-on by a carriage, the strong man flew high and fell backwards screaming.
I saw Master Hu Tiesheng flashing and moving, and after shallow advancement, a pair of iron arms that had been tempered for thousands of years were like spiritual snakes, and after a muffled sound of "crackling", there were already more than 20 villains lying down in front of him.
Those who hold their heads with their hands, those who hold their waists, and those who eat, all kinds of ugliness.
The others were so frightened that they dodged a large area, and no one dared to step forward again.
Where did this fierce man come from?
"Thief, dare?"
Suddenly, there was a loud shout like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it turned out to be a thug lying on the ground who took out a revolver from his arms, intending to shoot the black gun.
Seeing this, Fu Peng shouted, stomped on the stone road with his big foot, and the hard granite slab was instantly torn apart, and then kicked out......
"Bang bang ......" after two muffled sounds
The gun-pulling gangster was hit by a powerful stone, this move was Fu Peng's anger and did not spare his hand, and instantly blood splashed, and the gangster fainted without saying a word.
These few kung fu rabbits rose and fell, and when the onlookers saw that the dust had settled, after a short silence of two or three seconds, they burst into warm applause and applause.
The fool also saw that these two Oriental faces were not very human-looking, and they might be the legendary Oriental mysterious masters.
So what kind of person should be worthy of such a mysterious master's guard?
Realizing this, the crowd on the dock turned their attention to the mysterious carriage.
The carriage door opened
A small hand as delicate as mutton fat white jade rested on the door frame, and then revealed the face of an angel who charmed the world, it was Miss Fiona, who looked out cautiously and said;
"Sir ordered, the 100 pounds of medical expenses for the guy on the dock to see a doctor, there is an important meeting today, the trip can't be delayed, hurry up!"
The crowd of onlookers was shocked by the girl's beauty and fell silent.
Miss Fiona had never seen such a scene, hesitated and repeated it again in Italian and French, laid down the 100 pounds and returned to the carriage, and closed the door tightly.
Hu Tiesheng and Fu Peng jumped into the carriage without saying a word, and sat on the left and right positions of the coachman, who shouted and waved the horsewhip to drive the carriage forward.
It was followed by a carriage, on which were also seated Orientals with fierce expressions, looking around vigilantly.
From beginning to end, the mysterious owner of the carriage was also not seen.
This is just a small episode that happened in New York's Grand Central Station Square, but it is deeply indelible in the memory of many people, and the impression is too deep.
The high-level guards, the beautiful angelic maids, the fluent use of a few Chinese words, and the low-key carriage drivers, all these are intertwined and tempting reverie......
It so happened that a New York Times reporter was in the crowd at the time, and after witnessing the shock of all this, he once took the granite slabs that had been shattered by one foot and all the nearby granite slabs to the laboratory, and finally came to scientific conclusions;
The instant impact of this kick reached 13,700 pounds, and the center of the impact, the slate was all powder, and it would only be higher than but not lower than this staggering number, reaching an unbelievable level.
This New York Times in-depth report article caused an even more far-reaching sensation when it was published, and since then there has been a special English word called "kung fu", which refers to the martial arts school in Huaxia Shenzhou.
Unfortunately, when this report was published, Li Fushou had already left New York and took the Central Pacific Railway to Oakland on the west coast of the United States, and then returned to Australia by mail ship.
