Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 254 Reunion
In the capital city, the Wang family mansion was formerly the headquarters of the Yiguandao branch in the capital city.

Later, it became the original capital for Wang Yi to start his business in Beijing. Not only did he earn the first pot of gold, but he also got a treasure from the leader of the branch. By chance, the god's incarnation John Wick was born in New York on the other side of the ocean.

For Wang Yi, he didn't want to leave too many traces in this period of history to avoid any major problems.

Therefore, this house never had its own name from the beginning, but was just named after Sichengjiao Bank.

However, as time went by, this foot trade gradually became part of this history and was suspected to be, or even possible to be, the predecessor of the modern state-owned enterprise Naduotong. The plaque hanging on this house then became Wang's Four Cities Foot Trade.

Wandering around the capital city after many years, Wang Yi strolled leisurely in the garden and walked past the gatehouse at the door and entered the house.

It was natural that the concierge was unaware of it.

With Wang Yi's current cultivation level, which is second to none in the world, except for those in the same group, if others want to notice Wang Yi approaching, the prerequisite is that Wang Yi wants them to notice it.

As he entered the house, he saw old friends whom he had not seen for a long time busying themselves in the yard.

You Baiyun, the former family sorcerer, has now shed his youthfulness and become much more mature. He is currently sitting on a stone bench, playing Go with the Zhuge family disciple who had joined the Trinity Sect. Next to the two young men, an old grandfather and grandmother are also watching the two young men play Go.

The old man frowned, and just when he was about to point out the problem with You Baiyun's chess move, he was hit on the head by the old woman beside him, and he dared not say anything.

At the other end of the yard, Old Meng, a veterinarian with the same name as the famous biologist Mendel, was pacing in the yard wearing glasses and looking at the biology textbooks he had bought from overseas.

Behind him, a group of sturdy yellow-feathered chickens lined up in a row and followed him for a walk in the yard.

Under the fruit rack, the other two Sanyi disciples, Shuiyun and Changqing, were looking at each other with the stone table as the dividing line. On the stone table were also some gun parts. Master Chang Si, who was still in high spirits, gave an order.

The hands of the two men were flying over the gun parts like butterflies. With their techniques, the gun parts that were originally scattered on the stone table were transformed into complete pistols in their hands.

Shuiyun was slightly better in terms of speed in assembling the gun. He assembled the pistol first and was very proud of himself in front of Changqing.

Not far away, Mr. Qin was lying in a rocking chair, looking as if he was oblivious to what was happening outside, and looking very uncomfortable.

The servants in the house were accustomed to this phenomenon and would stop to watch and discuss it from time to time.

Looking at this somewhat unfamiliar scene in front of him, Wang Yi was in a very good mood and suddenly spoke.

"Hey, everyone, are you busy?"

A soft cry brought everyone back to their thoughts, whether they were deep in thought or relaxing.

Everyone was stunned when they saw Wang Yi standing in the yard, as if he suddenly appeared and greeted them in a tone as if he had just come back from a walk.

"Big Brother?"

"Yi Wang?"

The external offices of the capital, Yinghe Tower, and Jianghu Inn.

After years of experience, the young shopkeeper Liu Wei is now able to stand on his own and gradually take over the business of the Jianghu Xiaozhan, an alien force.

Just as he was drinking in the attic as usual, preparing to get himself half drunk and continue to spend the day in a daze, he heard hurried footsteps coming up the stairs.

"Uncle Li, what's got you so excited?"

"Young Shopkeeper, Wang Yi has returned to the capital."

"Tsk, I thought it was a big deal. He just returned to the country and went to Sanyi Sect without saying anything. Then he told us to tell our fellow martial artists that he was a Sanyi Sect's walking disciple. It's normal for him to return to the capital. Uncle Li, why aren't you better at cultivating your Qi than I am?"

"I just want to give you the good news."

"He acts as if I really care about him. He should think about when to pay me the balance."

"Well, I won't disturb your drinking pleasure, Young Shopkeeper."

Uncle Li was about to turn around and go downstairs when Liu Wei stopped him.

"Uncle Li."

"Ok?"

"Notify everyone that today's drinks at Yinghe Tower are free."

"understood."

That night, the courtyard of Wang's Sichengjiao Shop was filled with tables and wine and food were prepared.

It wasn't any fancy fish or meat, just some home-cooked dishes. In terms of grandeur, it was not as lavish and grand as the family banquets of the masters and mistresses.

But it’s better because it’s lively and has the flavor of life.

Because except for Wang Yi and his friends sitting at the main table, those sitting at other tables were all servants and waiters in the house. They were also part of this house. Since he was back, he wanted to have a meal together, and it was better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone.

In this era when people's minds have not yet been liberated and class stigma is deeply rooted in people's minds, it is very rare for someone like Wang Yi to let servants eat with them.

Especially these servants could clearly feel that their young master was either trying to win people's hearts or simply thought it was a good idea.

For people like them, reading people's expressions is a basic skill.

At the main table, Wang Yi was also talking about some interesting things about his overseas trip, especially when he mentioned that he had witnessed the sacred power of an ancient Egyptian in Egypt. Except for the two old men, Mr. Qin Er and Mr. Chang Si, everyone's eyes lit up.

"The young are truly formidable. This person who is only one step away from ascending to heaven is an ancient man who lived nearly 5,000 years ago. The world is indeed bigger and broader than we imagined. Old woman, we have been fighting for our entire lives, but it is still not as real as the young man Wang Yi opening his eyes to see the world."

"What are you talking about, the two elders? Our family has a long history. The reason why that sacred being has survived to this day is that the right time, right place, and right people are all essential. If one of them is missing, I would not have such insight."

Wang Yi raised his glass towards the couple of parents-in-law sitting next to You Baiyun. This couple of parents-in-law were the grandparents who taught You Baiyun the family skills. The man taught Qimen and the woman taught Dunjia.

The two are collectively known as Qi Men Dun Jia.

Qimen is easy to explain. The sorcerer opens the formation, sets the center palace, and fights the enemy with four plates and eight gates. In this respect, all sorcerers in the world are almost the same.

And this Dunjia is a method of numerology that assists the sorcerer to find the center palace and determine the auspicious and inauspicious directions.

But in the hands of these two people, Dunjia has become another killing weapon.

On the one hand, he can transfer the center palace set by his opponent who is also a sorcerer to his own feet at any time. On the other hand, he can also deliberately create confusion and make the opponent step on the dangerous position they arranged without knowing it.

From these two old seniors, Wang Yi also learned that their family's handed down skills had never gone wrong since they came into being. Even Wu Hou Qimen could not get away with it when facing this family.

Wu Hou Qi Men can directly determine the center palace under the feet, and Dun Jia cannot move away. However, Wu Hou Qi Men is helpless against the constantly changing directions of the eight gates of good and bad luck in Dun Jia.

As for why these two appeared in the capital, it was because You Baiyun felt that life was good and there was no need for his grandparents to stay in the village, so he brought the two old people to the capital to keep them company with other elderly people and join in the fun.

"It's true that the right time, right place and right people are the most important. But what Wang Xiao didn't know is that among these three factors, right people are the most important. In the history of our alien world, there are even greater figures than this ancient Egyptian god."

"Oh, I'd love to hear the details."

Hearing the two old seniors taking the initiative to bring up the topic, Wang Yi also became interested, and the Zhuge disciple next to him seemed to be the same.

After all, for someone of his age, he does not have enough qualifications and seniority to get in touch with the secrets of the sorcerers from his family ancestor Zhuge Wuhou and above.

"Use mercury to represent the Four Rivers, Five Mountains, and Nine Provinces. Above are the sun, moon, and stars. Look up to observe the astronomy, and look down to observe the geography..." As soon as the old man finished speaking, Wang Yi also reacted.

"Senior, are you talking about the underground palace of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum that has not yet been discovered?!"

"Haha, he is an educated man, Baiyun, this is the benefit of reading more. Look at Brother Wang, he knows where it is just by grandpa telling him, but you are still guessing."

The old man Qimen used these words to educate his precious grandson, and Wang Yi was puzzled but not overly surprised.

Come to think of it, in the history of the extraordinary world, Xiang Yu was a born extraordinary man, a fierce man who was invincible in the world at that time. However, such a fierce man did not dare to act at all when the First Emperor was alive, and had to wait until the First Emperor died before he dared to start causing trouble.

As the first emperor of a unified country, he might not be an alien, but he definitely controlled alien forces that the nobles of the six countries could not resist.

Not to mention that there is a record in official history that Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered the alchemist Xu Fu to take 300 boys and girls and a group of alchemists to search for the elixir of life overseas.

It doesn't seem unreasonable for such a powerful man to spend so much money and use great means to create an isolated artificial natural Qi system for his own underground palace in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, and to achieve a time-freezing arrangement similar to that of Imhotep.

But this caused a problem in Wang Yi's mind.

"Senior, I have a question..."

"Longevity is not eternal life. Although we don't know where the underground palace is, it is recorded in history books that the First Emperor died in a sand dune. It cannot be false. Being buried in the underground palace means that the body will not decay. As for the soul, even if it is immortal, it can only be trapped in the underground palace. Once it sees the light of day, dust will return to dust. A person like the First Emperor would definitely not accept such a way of surviving."

"Senior, you are really quick to speak. It seems that my skills are still not deep enough. There are many stories buried in this land of our family."

"No matter how good the story is, it is a thing of the past. It's fine to just listen to it or see it. If they could really come out, our land wouldn't have to suffer so many years. Brother Wang Yi, don't underestimate yourself. With your current level of cultivation, the two of us old guys have worked together. You have to thank our ancestors for keeping your old bones together. Baiyun is with you. We are very relieved."

The old woman Dunjia took over the words from her husband and said this to reassure Wang Yi. What Wang Yi could think of, these old men and women who had family traditions could naturally think of as well.

Even in the past history, there were many extraordinary masters and sects who had explored.

They knew better than Wang Yi that these great people who had once been active in history were destined to have their era passed from the moment they were buried in history. Who would want to be reborn through the impure world or something like that?

As soon as they show up, they are ready to die. A large group of people are waiting to take the gold coins from these old bones.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

While chatting, everyone ate and drank their fill and started to clean up the leftovers.

Either use it as tomorrow's meal, feed livestock, or give it to beggars outside.

As for Wang Yi, after chatting about private matters, it was naturally time to talk about business.

It has been nearly five years since we last saw each other. Although we have been in touch by telegram, it is still more convenient to talk face to face to find out how the Four Cities Freight Company is doing now and what to do next.

After a night talk, Wang Yi had a general understanding of the current situation of the Sicheng Logistics Company.

Based on the human-powered three-wheeled bicycles of its subsidiary Sicheng Foot Trade, Sicheng Freight Company has now extended its reach to Tianjin.

In addition, the Fengtian Army is still fighting the Japanese outside the Great Wall, so this golden signboard will not fall.

Even though there are still Japanese embassies and spies in the capital, they dare not openly hinder the Four Cities Freight Company in the capital, because behind the Four Cities Freight Company, there is not only the support of the powerful people in the capital, but also the shadow of the American consortium Behemoth.

And to those who don't know the inside story, Wang Yi has disappeared.

But as for these forces in the capital and the Japanese in the embassy community, Wang Yi did not disappear, he just traveled overseas.

Right now their Kwantung Army is still fighting with the Fengtian Army outside the Great Wall, and both sides in Songhu have ended the fighting. Even if they want to crack down on Wang Yi and the Sicheng Freight Company, they have to wait a few years before they dare to take action.

As for Sicheng Freight Company, it currently focuses on freight business. Everything from fleets to letters falls within the business scope of Sicheng Freight Company.

It is just that we are temporarily unable to expand this business across the country and can only develop it in Beijing, Tianjin and surrounding areas.

The sub-business is the farm that is in charge of the animal master Lao Meng, at the request of Wang Yi.

Lao Meng used his family's inherited animal husbandry skills to raise a batch of yellow-feathered chickens with a growth cycle of one and a half months. They can be raised with five or six kilograms of feed to weigh about two to two and a half kilograms.

Although it is not as good as the white-feathered chicken that came out in later generations, it is already the limit of the beast master's skills.

In the years since Wang Yi left, Lao Meng has transformed from a poultry trainer into a large-scale breeder. He cultivated these yellow-feathered chickens and, combined with the transportation business of the Four Cities Freight Company, became a regular supplier to major restaurants and markets in Beijing and Tianjin.

Although Wang Yi had told him at the beginning that it was best not to show off these yellow-feathered chickens too ostentatiously, let's keep them secret for now and wait and see what happens.

But plans cannot keep up with changes. If we want to develop, we must open source.

Wang Yi did not comment on this.

He also realized that not everyone can see the value of this batch of chicks, and with the current size of the company, it is impossible to spread these chicks across the country so that every household can afford to eat meat.

In that case, we might as well leave it as it is.

However, there was another income that made Wang Yi very satisfied, which was the storage of pig bristles.

Excluding losses, the pig bristles from the past five years of storage have basically filled up the warehouses of the Four Cities companies and are about to burst.

However, no one knows at the moment that these bristles will become Class A strategic materials during World War II, and no one understands why so many bristles were stockpiled.

Through the records stored on Lao Meng's side, Wang Yi roughly estimated that if he sold all these things, they would be enough to exchange for a batch of supplies for his family and the front line that even the Japanese would be jealous of during the war before the Japanese completely cut off international transportation.

The problem now is that when the full-scale war of resistance breaks out, how can he exchange these pig bristles for equivalent military supplies before they are taken over by the Kuomintang government and divided among the people?

"Damn it, with a government like this, even if I make money, I still feel scared."

"Big Brother?"

"It's okay, everyone. During the years I was away, the company was able to operate like this and thrive, all thanks to your help. Here, I, Wang Yi, would like to thank you in advance."

"It's just my job. In the past few years, everyone has been living a comfortable life thanks to your reputation. But now that you're back, you have to give us some advice on how our company should move forward. You know the situation outside the Great Wall. The young commander was defeated and fled to the Great Wall. It's only been a few years since the beginning of the year. Wang Yi, our company can develop so steadily because of the old commander and the young commander.

In the current situation, if we go, it will be like a drop in the ocean that cannot help. If we don’t go, it will be against our conscience. Besides, the young commander has been defeated and fled to the interior of the country. It will be difficult for the company to develop in the future. Will the Japanese be so aggressive and try to cause trouble for us? "

"Distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. The situation outside the Great Wall will not change if we are more numerous than outside the Great Wall. However, the Japanese want to take advantage of the momentum of conquering and occupying the Great Wall to bully us. They are not qualified. Brother Meng, don't worry so much. The sky will not fall. But I am curious about you. Have you felt anything in your practice in the past few years?"

Hearing Wang Yi's tone, Lao Meng pushed his glasses and looked at You Baiyun, Shuiyun from Sanyi Sect, Changqing and the Zhuge disciple.

"Are we going to give it a try?"

"I haven't seen you for a few years. I have to know what you are doing recently, especially you, Brother Meng. It depends on you whether the Beast Master school can be carried forward."

They were all young people of similar age. Even though everyone knew that there was an absolute gap between them and Wang Yi, after hearing Wang Yi's words, they naturally wanted to take action.

Especially Mendel, the beast master. He chose to join Wang Yi's company because Wang Yi promised him that the beast master school might not be inferior, and there would be a day when it could be developed and praised and respected by many peers.

In the past few years, through breeding chickens and pigs, he has roughly got a direction, and the skills of a beastmaster, which are supposed to control all kinds of beasts, have begun to undergo new changes in his hands.

He also wanted to see how many rounds Wang Yi could last with this beastly master's tricks that had become more varied.

Thinking of this, several people looked at each other and looked at Wang Yi who was sitting there drinking tea calmly. The next second, several people acted in unison and used their methods against Wang Yi.
