Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 154 A cloud-piercing arrow
Fengtian City, Japanese Consulate in Fengtian.

"You said Mr. Ba Ku is missing?"

"Yes, maybe it has something to do with the unusual movement outside Fengtian City this morning. Mr. Ba Ku never came back after leaving the attic."

"idiot!"

"Hi!"

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, a secret message from the cabinet at home."

Just as the mastermind behind the assassination of the old marshal was furious, Kikuchi, who had served as the old marshal's first military adviser, also walked in with a telegram, and Kawamoto Daisaku's face changed.

Upon seeing this, all the subordinates left the office immediately, leaving the space for the two superiors. Soon, Advisor Kikuchi also left the office and signaled the subordinates waiting outside to return to their work posts. No one knew what senior staff officer Kawamoto Daisaku said to Advisor Kikuchi. It was just that after Advisor Kikuchi left, orders were issued from the consulate in Fengtian and the Kwantung Army Headquarters, but no one knew where they were sent.

Such a movement naturally could not be concealed from the Marshal's Mansion. In the small brothel in the east courtyard of the Marshal's Mansion, the old marshal handed the contents of the secret messages that he had just intercepted and deciphered to Wang Yi and said there.

"Look, it looks like I, Zhang Yuting, will definitely die, but they are not stupid and know how to hide their tracks. Mr. Wang, I heard that you and the young Taoist priest from Mount Longhu who came to your house this morning are both the strongest among the younger generation. This time the bandits are coming with such force, are you two, plus the people in the Marshal's house, confident?"

Looking at the contents of the secret message, Wang Yi was also shocked. This was a bit too many thorns to remove.

"If you can protect the Marshal well, it is naturally possible to defend the Marshal's Mansion."

"Forget it. I, Zhang, don't like to be a turtle. You can't always protect me in the Marshal's Mansion. It's just like a thief can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. Since they want me to die, then I will die. But before I die, you don't have to worry about the military. If they want to eat the fat meat outside the Great Wall, I will break their teeth even if they are strong. But I won't feel at ease if I don't remove these thorns. Mr. Wang, you have to prepare your chips quickly, because the next game will show the winner."

"Excuse me, sir, when do you plan to start the next game?"

"Let's do it on the 21st of this month. You have to give them some time to prepare. If you don't have all the chips together by the 21st, Mr. Wang, I, Old Zhang, will have to come by myself."

"I know."

Nodding, Wang Yi stopped disturbing the old marshal and left the brothel. Outside the brothel, Zhang Zhiwei and others were waiting for Wang Yi, wanting to see what Wang Yi would do next. Wang Yi looked at Zhang Zhiwei and the others, and then paused for a while on Liu, a member of the Quanxing sect who seemed out of place among the righteous disciples. Then he called a guard and asked him to lead the way to the prison cell in the marshal's mansion where prisoners were detained and interrogated.

Seeing Wang Yi signaling them to follow, Zhang Zhiwei and his group followed him out of curiosity. Soon, they saw the Japanese alien Lao Deng who had regained consciousness in the cell. The captain of the imperial guards, Xishun, was also preparing various torture instruments at this time, hoping to get some useful information from the Japanese alien Lao Deng. When he saw Wang Yi and his group coming in, he was also confused.

"Mr. Wang?"

"Captain Xishun, let's come over and lend a hand."

"Mr. Wang, everyone has their own expertise. There's no need to dirty your hands with this kind of thing."

"Cooking a beast is not dirty or not. Master Liu, I have never been able to explain the various changes derived from the methods I learned from you. I have always suppressed you in the capital and didn't let you do this or that. Today, Senior Brother Zhang Zhiwei has captured a good beast for us. His cultivation is wasted, but his foundation is good. You can toss his limbs as much as you can and keep him alive. If you improve your methods, you can also help Captain Xishun to find out something. How do you think?"

Liu, the dough man who had calmed down after being taught a lesson by Wang Yi, was stunned at first when he heard Wang Yi's words, and then looked at Lao Deng, the Japanese strange man who had woken up and was about to curse. His expression was excited and his eyes were bright, and Lao Deng, the Japanese strange man, was also frightened by Wang Yi's words and the look in Liu's eyes that looked at him as if he were an object, a dead thing.

"Sir, there is an old Chinese saying that goes, 'Killing someone is not enough to get you to the bottom of the problem.' You and I are both practitioners, so why do you have to humiliate me like this?"

"Why didn't you think of this when you used your magic to take the hands and eyes of innocent people as a medium? Besides, killing is not the right thing to do, it is still killing. Why should we be so particular about killing animals?"

As he spoke, a stream of true energy shot out from Wang Yi's hand, giving the Japanese alien Lao Deng no chance to commit suicide at all. Then he also made a light gesture to Liu Lu, the man opposite him.

"Wang Yi, if you are really a Quan Xing, I, Face Man Liu, will decisively choose you as the leader of our Quan Xing. You are exactly what I want!" The first time Wang Yi lifted the ban, Face Man Liu was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. He was not as smart as Wang Yi who could advance the Bone Pinning and Skin Painting to the state of changing freely. He needed to try it on himself carefully. But no matter how he tried it on himself, there was always a limit. After all, if he was not careful, he would be gone, and the rare means of advancement would be broken. He would have no place to cry.

He originally thought that it would take another ten years for his skills to reach the level of freedom and adaptability as Wang Yi's, but now, Dough Man Liu is confident that this year can be shortened by half!
"We are all familiar with each other, but I will sue you for defamation if you say anything wrong, Master Liu. It just happened that this old beast was caught by Senior Brother Zhang Zhiwei. You should thank Senior Brother Zhang instead of me. Captain Xishun, if you feel uncomfortable later, don't bear it. Just come out and get some fresh air. Master Liu knows the seriousness of the matter and will not let him die so easily. Master Liu now cherishes this old beast more than you do."

"What are you talking about, Mr. Wang? Anyone who can work for Master Shuai has come through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. What else can scare us..."

Ten minutes later, in the Marshal's Mansion, Xishun and other soldiers around the old Marshal looked pale, leaning over the woods to fertilize the newly transplanted plants. Zhang Huaiyi, Liang Ting, and You Baiyun were not much better, but Wang Yi, Zhang Zhiwei, Gao Jin, and Fu Linmen were still drinking tea and chatting happily.

Wang Yi, needless to say, had just arrived in this era when the world was in chaos, and he was used to cannibalism happening right before his eyes. Gao Jin could also understand that he was the only one of the four famous families in the alien circle who had roots outside the Great Wall. As a member of the Gao family, Gao Jin knew very well how much suffering the outside of the Great Wall had suffered in this century of humiliation in modern history. The Gao family and the Japanese were so eager to eat your flesh and sleep on your skin that he wished that Liu the Face Man would be more ruthless. There was no need to talk about the Fulinmen, a descendant of the Manchu nobles who started from outside the Great Wall, and was no different from Gao Jin, a member of the Gao family.

As for Zhang Zhiwei, Wang Yi really didn't expect that this natural practitioner would not reject the methods of Liu the Face Man. And based on his words just now, he really looked up to him. He was worthy of being the number one person originally appointed in this world.

"In the past three years, I have been traveling outside the Longhu Mountain area according to your suggestion. I have seen people eating each other. Compared with those guys who eat people without leaving any bones, Master Liu's methods are still pretty good."

"So this time you escorted the young marshal to come to me outside the Great Wall, just to ask me for an answer, to ask what can we, the aliens, do in this world where people eat each other?"

"That's right. Because the more I see, the more I can't understand the meaning of your throwing yourself into this secular torrent. These alien races are a mountain pressing on the people of China, but they... are not another mountain. Even you and me, we aliens, are part of the mountain." Zhang Zhiwei looked at the old marshal's soldiers who had recovered, then pointed at himself and Wang Yi, and a pair of eyes that were also beginning to enter a state of introverted divinity also stared at Wang Yi, and said.

"In this case, you and I are both practitioners in the mountains, so why do we need to do such unnecessary things?"

"You want to know the answer?"

"I think."

"It's too specific for me to explain to you. If you ask me, I can only answer you with seven words. It's nothing more than the hatred of the country and the family that is hard to resolve."

Listening to Wang Yi's answer word by word, Zhang Zhiwei did not react too much. He just thought for a while and asked back.

"I already know about the national hatred, but the family hatred is hard to get over."

"Now that we are done, if you want to go back to the mountain, you can go here first. I think there will be someone there who can help you solve your doubts."

Wang Yi used his finger as a pen and wrote a place name on the blue-gray stone ground. Zhang Zhiwei remembered the place name at a glance, raised his hand and waved his sleeves to brush it off.

"This place is not far from our Longhu Mountain, more than 70 miles away. Are you sure there is someone there who can help me solve my puzzle?"

"I'm sure that when you get there, you will respect that person as Mr. from the bottom of your heart, just like me, and you will understand why I said this to you."

"In that case, I believe you, but what are you going to do with this place? You said you wanted to remove the thorns, but you, me and them alone are not enough."

While Zhang Zhiwei and Wang Yi were talking, Liu, the dough man, walked out of the prison with an excited look on his face, holding a piece of letter paper full of words in his hand.

"Master Liu, you asked so quickly?"

"His temper is even worse than some of ours. He just played with his foot and he said everything he knew, everything he could say, everything he should say, and everything he shouldn't say. So I had no choice but to put down the work at hand and serve it to you."

There is not much content on this piece of letter paper. It is nothing more than that some foreign sects in Japan have chosen to cooperate with the Kwantung Army, sending some backbones to the outside of the pass, and cooperating with the Kwantung Army to take root outside the pass. They are ready to use this blunt knife to cut meat and gradually turn the outside of the pass into their second homeland.

And these are the thorns that Wang Yi wants to pull out.

Wang Yi looked at the contents of the letter and smiled at Zhang Zhiwei.

"Zhang Zhiwei, it's time to let these guys learn the methods of us Chinese aliens."

Seeing Wang Yi's smile, Zhang Zhiwei's arrogance, which he had finally suppressed over the past three years, was also aroused by Wang Yi's words. The two looked at each other and smiled. Their clothes moved without wind due to their cultivation, and they also exuded murderous intent at this moment.
-
Beijing, Fengtian Army Headquarters, Liu Wei, the young owner of a small Jianghu inn, who had disguised himself as the young marshal by means of the mask man Liu Nieguhuashen, had just dealt with several Fengtian Army generals who came to test him, when he saw the young marshal's adjutant walk in with Uncle Li, who was temporarily taking over the affairs of the Beijing Jianghu inn.

The adjutant dismissed his attendants and made sure that there was no one around before signaling with his eyes.

Uncle Li from the Jianghu Inn also took out a letter from his bosom that was conveyed and copied using the Secret Painting Sect's "Secret Painting" method, and placed it in front of Liu Wei, who was the stand-in for the young marshal.

"Young Shopkeeper, Shopkeeper Chen from outside the Great Wall sent a letter saying that you need to make the decision yourself."

Liu Wei frowned and looked at the content of the letter sent from outside the Great Wall. His face suddenly changed, and then he smiled bitterly to his uncle Li.

"Uncle Li, what did I tell you before? This guy is destined to stir up a storm in the world of foreigners. Even our Jianghu Inn cannot stay out of it. See, I was right."

"That's right, but should we do it?"

Uncle Li, who had also read the contents of the letter, was also terrified. In his entire life, he had never seen a young man who played such a big game. What's more, there were two descendants of the Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu and a child of a famous family accompanying him in his craziness. It was enough.

"Do it! Of course I won't. Our Jianghu Inn is a business of delivering messages. Uncle Li, please tell my grandfather that I, as his son, am begging him to do the work of other shopkeepers. I want this letter to appear in the hands of the heads of all families and sects, as well as people of my generation within three days."

"Young Shopkeeper, you are going to blow the roof off your head!"

"Uncle Li, don't you think this day has already been exposed?"

Soon, a letter was sent from a branch of Jianghu Inn outside the Great Wall, and after being approved by the young manager in the capital, it turned into dozens within a day. Hundreds of letters were also distributed to various families and factions across the country within three days, starting from outside the Great Wall.

Among them are the Sanyi Clan, the other three of the four famous families, the Lu Clan, the Lu Clan and the Wang Clan...
This letter was like a huge rock. With the dropping of this rock, the world of foreigners, which had finally calmed down, was once again in turmoil.
