Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 152: The Two Zhangs Go to Fengtian

Fengtian City, Marshal’s Mansion.

It still maintains a relaxed exterior but tight interior. In the small brothel where the old commander is resting, there is a guard post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps.

Apart from the five extraordinary people Wang Yi, Liang Ting, You Baiyun, Gao Jin and Fulinmen, only the captain of the personal guard Xishun and the old marshal's fifth wife were allowed to enter and exit. The other servants and guards could only watch from afar, watching Wang Yi enter the brothel many times, and coming out exhausted every time. The fifth wife went in and out even more frequently, with bloody gauze in her hands from time to time and a sad expression on her face.

These actions and expressions were also seen and remembered by those who were paying attention.

On the other hand, in Fengtian City, the smoke bombs and traps released by the old marshal in cooperation with Wang Yi made the Kwantung Army behind the scenes hesitant. The young marshal stationed in the capital also began to prepare for all matters before returning to Fengtian.

The capital city, formerly the house of Sichengjiaohang, has now been renamed Sicheng Logistics Company and has a building in the capital city. The plaque on the house has also changed from Sichengjiaohang to Qin Mansion. The reason is naturally that Wang Yi does not want to put his own name on it, as he always feels something is weird.

Mr. Qin, who is already the honorary president of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, is receiving two guests who have come from afar. The two guests are not coming to see him, but to see Wang Yi, an old acquaintance.

The two guests were surnamed Zhang and came from Longhu Mountain. One was tall and the other short. The tall one was called Zhang Zhiwei and the short one was called Zhang Huaiyi.

Mr. Qin didn't know the two Zhangs, but there were people in the capital who knew Zhang Zhiwei. So the two Zhangs, who had just arrived, did not come to his house immediately. Instead, they were taken by Zhang Huaiyi to visit Baiyun Temple, Yanwu Hall, and Yinghe Tower of Jianghu Inn in the capital. With the guarantee of Liu Wei, the young manager of Jianghu Inn, a series of oolongs were avoided.

In the former house of Sichengjiaohang, Mr. Qin also had a pleasant conversation with the two Zhangs.

"I didn't expect this guy to be so famous in your circle. No wonder so many people in Beijing give me some face."

Master Qin Er was not a cultivator, and he still didn't understand how powerful Wang Yi was, but he knew about Longhu Mountain. To be favored by the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain and admired by the Heavenly Master's first disciple, this ability was definitely beyond his imagination.

"That was earned by you, old man. Anyone who knows Wang Yi knows that if you hadn't helped him back then, he wouldn't have achieved what he has now."

Zhang Zhiwei was saying flattering words to make Mr. Qin happy, but Zhang Huaiyi, who followed Zhang Zhiwei all the way to the capital, was a little uninterested. He had always been curious about this Wang Yi who could tie with his senior brother.

Just think about it and you will understand. After three years of private practice and cultivation of Yang Wu Lei, when he really faced Zhang Zhiwei, he was defeated instantly by his senior brother in one move.

How does the saying go? Before you practice cultivation, you only know that I am very powerful. Once you start practicing cultivation, you will understand how powerful I am.

After the martial arts performance at Mount Longhu, Zhang Huaiyi had this opinion of Zhang Zhiwei. He thought that within three to five years, even his master might not be able to defeat his senior brother. The more this was the case, the more he wanted to know whether Wang Yi, who had been able to compete with his senior brother at the Lu family's birthday banquet, could still compete with his senior brother as he did three years later, and how he had managed to compete with his senior brother.

But man proposes, God disposes. They arrived a step too late and ended up with nothing.

It has been two days since the old marshal was assassinated in Yu Huanggutun. Now, except for the fact that no one knows whether the old marshal is alive or dead, the news has basically spread throughout the country, and the capital is no exception.

Now the capital city where the Fengtian Army is stationed is also undercurrent, and a lot of people are watching the movements of the young marshal, not to mention Fengtian City, where storms gather. Even if he wants to meet Wang Yi, it is probably unlikely to happen.

Just when Mr. Qin was chatting happily with Zhang Zhiwei, a servant came hurriedly with a panicked look on his face.

"Second Master, a large group of Fengtian Army soldiers are coming towards us, and the leader seems to be the adjutant of the young marshal."

In fact, the servant didn't need to say anything. The people chatting in the living room could hear the dense footsteps of the troops outside.

Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Huaiyi were puzzled. After all, they had just arrived in Beijing. They knew from Liu Wei, who brought them here to visit, that Wang Yi was able to build such a foundation in Beijing with the support of the old marshal. The relationship between the two was not as sweet as honey, but it was also a win-win situation. If the old marshal was assassinated, he would not surround his old house with soldiers to target a 60-year-old man, right?
Liu Wei, the young owner of Jianghu Inn, who had been cheated by Wang Yi once, covered his face. He just wanted to slap himself. He could be affected even for leading the way. What the hell was this!

"Why panic? Let everyone in the house do their job well. Even if there is a disaster, it will not implicate you. Young Master Liu, please lend a hand and lead the two Taoist priests out through the side door."

"Grandpa, please don't be like this. Wang Yi and I are friends, and you are my elder. If you drive us away now, I won't be able to get along with Wang Yi as freely as before when I see him in the future, Huaiyi, don't you think so?"

Seeing his senior brother now being smooth with him, Zhang Huaiyi nodded helplessly. Didn't we agree that I would be the leader when we go down the mountain this time, and you would only be responsible for the work? Why are you joining in the fun?

But even though he was complaining in his heart, Zhang Huaiyi also said, "Brother, let's change into Taoist robes."

"Why change clothes?"

"When you're out in the world, you give yourself an identity. The Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain might be useful later."

"Oh, you have the final say, old man?"

"Since you insist on doing this, I, Qin, will not say anything. Sister Hua, take the two Taoist priests to change clothes."

After some time, at the door of the house with the plaque of Qin Mansion, which was formerly the foot of the Four Cities, Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Huaiyi, who were wearing Taoist robes, and Liu Wei, the young shopkeeper of the Jianghu Inn who came to eat melons and became a melon again, along with Master Qin and the servants, were also at the door watching the adjutant beside the young marshal and hundreds of soldiers coming to them.

They are armed with live ammunition, have a large number of men, and are full of energy and spirit. At first glance, they are troops directly under the command of the Young Marshal.

The adjutant stepped forward and saluted Mr. Qin.

"Second Master Qin, this happened suddenly. Please forgive me for not informing you in advance."

"Adjutant Bao, that's not true. I just don't know why you've brought so many troops here. Why do I want to..."

"I am following the orders of the young commander to protect Mr. Wang's family in Beijing from harm by evildoers."

After the words fell, Master Qin was also confused. But now he is no longer the good old man who sold his business to save the country with passion. Although Adjutant Bao only said such a short sentence to convey the young marshal's order, Master Qin also tasted a lot of hidden meanings from it.

"Adjutant Bao, may I have a word with you?"

"You shall camp where you are, and do not disturb the affairs of the house."

"Yes!"

After arranging the soldiers' next tasks, Adjutant Bao followed Master Qin into the house. Master Qin looked at Zhang Zhiwei, Zhang Huaiyi and Liu Wei beside him, thought for a moment, and signaled them to follow.

"Don't worry, Adjutant Bao. They are all friends of Wang Yi. You should know his character. These people are trustworthy. Besides, I also know what to ask and what not to ask."

Looking at the Taoist robes of Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Huaiyi, and seeing Liu Wei, whom he knew, sitting next to them, Adjutant Bao nodded without saying anything else.

"Adjutant Bao, tell me the truth, was the young marshal's trip back to Fengtian smooth or not?"

"I don't know. Since the Marshal sent that telegram to the Young Marshal, he sent another one yesterday asking the Young Marshal to arrange for me to come and protect Mr. Wang's career in the capital. After that, he asked the Young Marshal to choose a day to return to Fengtian."

"Choosing a day to return? There is a lot to this choice of day."

"Who says it's not true? You can imagine that the Marshal's journey will not be peaceful. It is said that the Marshal was assassinated by Japanese ronin disguised as horse bandits. Oh, where did the Japanese ronin get so much explosives to blow up the special train? If the Japanese can do it on the first day, can't they do it on the fifteenth?"

Anyone who has a general understanding of the current situation can see the problem.

If the young marshal hadn't been there to keep the capital in check, who knows what other people would think. And the old marshal in Fengtian was in doubt whether he was alive or dead, and it was even a question whether he could arrive safely this time. The situation was awkward here, and this was also a test given by the old marshal to his son to see what he would do.

The speaker may not have intended it, but the listener may have taken it to heart. Zhang Huaiyi, who was listening on the side, saw that his senior brother seemed to have not yet reacted, so he took a step forward and caused a commotion.

"Sir, if you trust me, how about letting us accompany the young commander?"

"you are?"

"I am a disciple of the Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu. My surname is Zhang, and my given name is Huaiyi. This is my senior brother, who also goes by the surname Zhang, Zhang Zhiwei. Three years ago, he competed with Wang Yi at the birthday banquet of the Lu family in Jiangnan. Wang Yi lost to my senior brother by one move. You can verify this matter with the young shopkeeper Liu Wei. I think since you can be an adjutant beside the young marshal, you should know some things in our circle. Even if you can't trust us, you should be able to trust Wang Yi." As soon as Zhang Huaiyi finished speaking, Zhang Zhiwei didn't think there was anything wrong, but Liu Wei on the side was already shocked.

Damn it, how come there is a person like you in Longhu Mountain? Why are you still trying to join in the fun at this time?
But seeing the adjutant's inquiring look, Liu Wei could only nod in response.

"In that case, please wait for me, I will go and ask the young commander for instructions now."

Being able to work beside the young marshal, the adjutant was naturally not a fool, and he also understood that it would be best if the young marshal had a master accompany him on his return trip to Fengtian. He immediately asked one of the non-commissioned officers to take over his duties here and rushed to the young marshal's office as soon as possible.

"Huaiyi, your ability to read people's expressions and use your brain is much better than my brother's cultivation. No wonder you asked my brother to change into a Taoist robe. Why do you want to meet Wang Yi so much?"

Zhang Zhiwei had no objection to Zhang Huaiyi taking the initiative to talk to the adjutant. After all, the Taoist priest had said before going down the mountain that if Huaiyi spoke, he would take action.

"Brother, I really want to meet him, and I want to try to find a way from him to surpass you."

"You ask him? Hahaha, oh, Huaiyi, ah Huaiyi."

Hearing Zhang Huaiyi's undisguised words that he wanted to surpass himself with the help of Wang Yi, Zhang Zhiwei was stunned at first, and then he laughed in confusion as if to please Zhang Huaiyi.

"Since you think so, I will listen to your arrangements, so as not to trouble two masters for one thing. Since you are smarter than me, think about it. We are accompanying this young commander back to Fengtian. Without the young commander guarding the capital, can you bear the responsibility if any trouble occurs?"

"Brother, do you understand this?"

"Your brother's eyes are a little small, but he is not blind. Anyone with eyesight can see the problem, but I can't see it? Even if I can see it, I can't do much. You are more thoughtful. How about you give me some advice?"

Being provoked and recognized by Zhang Zhiwei, Zhang Huaiyi lowered his head and thought for a moment. His big ears moved and he looked at the guest room in the house and then at Liu Wei.

"Manager Liu, you and Wang Yi are the most familiar with each other here, so I think there is a way."

Damn it, it’s not over yet!
Liu Wei was speechless. He knew Wang Yi, who liked to stir up trouble. It was fine if he was looking for trouble. The two Zhangs who came down from Longhu Mountain were also two restless people. They even implicated him. But with so many eyes staring at him, Liu Wei couldn't say that he didn't know.

"Well, there is a way, but since you two are from Mount Longhu, it's hard to say..."

"Why is it hard to say?"

"Master Liu, you don't need to cover up for me. When Wang Yi protected me, he took the blame for me, but he could only take the blame for me, Liu Mian, but not for Quan Xing. The two of you from Longhu Mountain, Quan Xing and Liu Mian."

In the guest room, Liu, the waiter who had chosen to stay indoors because of the two Zhangs' visit, walked out and bowed to the two Zhangs.

Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Huaiyi were also stunned for a moment because this Quanxing monk Liu introduced himself. This was the first time they encountered a Quanxing disciple introducing himself in front of their Longhu Mountain.

On that day, the adjutant of the young marshal, who had returned, took the young marshal to the Qin Mansion in a special car, but not long after, they drove away under the escort of soldiers. The soldiers and horses led by the adjutant also set up camp outside the Qin Mansion, staying there for a while.
-
The perspective returns to Fengtian City. Here in Fengtian City, a week has passed since the old marshal was assassinated and has been recuperating from serious injuries and has not been seen.

During this period, the Marshal's Mansion was isolated from the outside world and had no contact with the Young Marshal stationed in the capital.

During this week, the Kwantung Army, which was confused by the smoke bomb released by the old marshal in cooperation with Wang Yi, never missed the opportunity to find out the old marshal's situation.

A special observation point was set up a few hundred meters away from the Marshal's Mansion, and the movements inside the Mansion were monitored with a military telescope. At the same time, the strange people on his side were asked to use various means to sneak into the Mansion.

It's easy to dodge the open attacks from the observation point, but Wang Yi and his team will have to guard against the hidden arrows from the Japanese alien.

At this time, outside the Marshal's Mansion, which was loose on the outside but tight on the inside, a pair of flesh hands jumped up and down in the building outside the Mansion. With the cover of leaves and light, they avoided the perception of the secret sentries in the Mansion and landed silently on the roof of the Mansion. As the fingers moved, they were already close to the brothel.

When he reached the designated distance, his palms stood up, his five fingers spread out, the muscles in the palms tore, and an eye tried to pop out of each palm. However, before the eyes were half open, they turned into flesh foam under an invisible pressure. The true Qi attached to these palms was also completely disrupted by the magnetic field of heaven and earth and became a part of the Qi of heaven and earth.

Eight hundred meters away from the Marshal's Mansion, there was an attic observation point set up by the Kwantung Army specifically to monitor the movements in the Marshal's Mansion. When the true Qi attached to the pair of flesh palms was broken, the Japanese alien Lao Deng who had a brief fight with Wang Yi before also groaned at this time.

His magic, the ability to see far and near, was broken by Wang Yi again.

The magic of far and near eyes is an unconventional means of reconnaissance.

The practitioner needs to use true Qi to nurture a pair of flesh eyes and refine them as a magic weapon. After successful refining, the pair of flesh eyes can be attached to any object to act as scouts. This may be the prototype of the ancient magical power of clairvoyance.

The reason why it is called a niche technique is that it can be mastered quickly.

The method is to use the eyes of ordinary people as disposable consumables, dig them out, and chop them off together with their limbs. Because they come from one body, there will be no rejection reaction when connected with true Qi, and they can be remotely controlled by true Qi and serve as scouts.

The refining time and monitoring distance were compromised, but the advantage was that it could be completed quickly and put into use within two or three days.

Wang Yi jumped down from the roof and saw another pair of innocent hands and eyes being used as consumables. He could only suppress the murderous intent and anger in his heart and leave it to Liang Ting to deal with.

It's not that he didn't think about catching the caster, he also used the sorcerer You Baiyun to find out the old man's hiding place through inner vision divination.

But it was too far to reach him. The old man was too far away from the Marshal's Mansion. If he went to look for him himself, it would only give the aliens from the Kwantung Army an opportunity. During these seven days, in Fengtian City, Wang Yi could sense through the resonance of his soul leaving his body and the magnetic field of heaven and earth that there were at least thirty alien masters gathered here, and there were many of them he could take seriously.

Fortunately, I was stationed in the Marshal's Mansion. They didn't dare to act rashly, so I used the troops in the Marshal's Mansion to stop them.

But if I leave the Marshal's Mansion to look for the Japanese Lao Deng, Gao Jin, Liang Ting, You Baiyun and Fu Linmen may not be able to stop him.

Because all they needed to do was to confirm the old marshal's life or death. Although his method could keep the old marshal alive, given the old marshal's physical condition, he could die if he was hit by a bump.

If the old marshal really died at this time, the young marshal would be in danger, so he could only endure it, and he had to endure it.

At the attic observation point, the Japanese alien Lao Deng, who had suffered a loss at the hands of Wang Yi, didn't care. It would not be a big deal for him if this quick-learning technique was broken.

After instructing the spy at the observation point, he went downstairs on his own and prepared to leave Fengtian City to get some more materials to continue disgusting Wang Yi.

It's hard to find materials in Fengtian City, since there's an assistant marshal in charge. It's better to go outside the city, where there are many beggars and no one will know if you die.

Thinking this, he walked less than a mile out of Fengtian City when he saw four people coming towards him, three young people and one middle-aged man.

Arranged in signal grids from high to low.

"Mr. Liu, is Fengtian City just ahead?"

"Um···"

The tallest young Taoist priest who seemed to be taking a walk also asked the middle-aged man with glasses. During the conversation, he happened to meet the eyes of Lao Deng, a Japanese strange man who came out of the city to look for a new batch of magic materials.

When their eyes met, they were sure that the other was a cultivator.

"Cultivator? That's good. I haven't tried what it feels like to use a cultivator's eyes as material. You are in luck."

"Oh~ then it is indeed a blessing."

　I will be a bit busy these two days, so the update will be late. I hope you can understand.
