Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 279 The Three Musketeers

After Wang Yi and his men sailed away in broad daylight in the face of the Imperial Japanese Navy stabbing the Army in the back, the Imperial Navy, which had been partying all night, woke up the next day and naturally began to attack the Army stationed in Port Arthur according to the procedure agreed upon the night before.

The excuse was very straightforward: such a large cargo ship of our navy disappeared in the port city where your army was stationed.

To put it in a broader sense, it was your army's failure to be vigilant that allowed the local resistance forces to infiltrate the port without our knowledge, and they also took away our navy's cargo ship. How can we gain benefits for the empire with a bunch of army idiots like you! Your army is not fit to defend this place, we have to let our navy come!

To put it simply, your army coveted this large overseas order from our navy, and they colluded with each other to embezzle the money! Damn! You army idiots are so bold!
A blame just fell from the sky, leaving the army at a loss as to what to do.

The most outrageous thing is that even the senior army officers currently stationed in Port Arthur think that there is nothing wrong with the blame thrown by the navy.

On the one hand, the hatred between the navy and the army is so outrageous that they wish the other side would all die, so much so that they are unwilling to explain to the navy.

On the other hand, they themselves also felt that it might have been done by someone from our side.

At most, they did not inform the local garrison and quietly did things on their own. It was a classic case of the lower class overthrowing the higher class. It was understandable. No matter how hard they tried to think, they would never have thought that it was the Imperial Navy that was embezzling money from the enemy and stabbing them in the back.

At this time, they were even a little proud, thinking that they were right to call your navy idiots. Such a large cargo ship was destroyed right under your noses. Doesn't this indirectly show your incompetence?

Well, I'll tell you, the navy, this ship was embezzled by our army, so what?
If you want this piece of land, you navy guys know the rules.

As the quarrel between the navy and the army became more and more intense, the ocean-going freighter became an unimportant issue, while the navy and the army were ready to start a fight at any time.

Although it is a humiliating thing for a country's navy and army to fight for the ownership of a city on its own land, the situation is stronger than people, and this is the humiliation that must be endured for the time being.

But this would be a good thing for Wang Yi and the others.

The Continental ocean-going freighter, flying the American flag and acknowledged by the Army itself as the source of the Army's embezzlement, made a big detour and headed along the coastline all the way to the Russian-North Korean border at the mouth of the Tumen River.

The journey was safe and sound, but it also made Wang Yi, a later generation, understand why the older generation was so concerned about the Tumen River outlet.

Because they set out from Port Arthur, they had to first make a big circle around North Korea and then drive along the coastline all the way to the border. The time wasted in between was enough for them to travel light on land.

There is nothing we can do about it.

There are so many things on the cargo ship, and they want to transfer them by land. However, the three provinces outside the Great Wall are all occupied by the Kwantung Army and the puppet army. There is no place and no time to divide such a large amount of goods.

The only way is to find an area where the Japanese army is weak to land and then make plans.

Fortunately, this freighter was flying the American flag. Although Korea was now a Japanese-occupied area and had completely become a Japanese colony, the conflict between the navy and the army intensified in Port Arthur.

Even the Japanese troops in Korea did not pay much attention to this freighter when they saw it.

They finally managed to escape danger safely and landed at the North Korean border area of ​​Hunchun Port after a week.

With the help of Wang Yi's magnetic field martial arts and radio communication, several volunteer army generals who had been waiting there for a long time responded to them at the first time and began to take away the thousands of tons of Spam cans on the ship in batches like ants moving house.

They didn't ask too much about how Wang Yi and other extraordinary people managed to drive the ship here under the noses of the Japanese army. They just looked at the real meat in the opened can of meat with emotion.

"What good stuff! With these things, this winter won't be so hard."

"It would be great if we could help you, but we have no military expertise and cannot help you solve your problems."

"These are enough. With these, our brother troops can have a good New Year. But I don't know when we can recover this beautiful land."

"There will be such a day. This day will not be too long, nor too short. In the future, every household will be able to eat these good things and use these medicines."

"Thank you for your good words. As long as we are still alive, the Japanese will never live in peace in the three provinces outside the Great Wall. Everyone, do you have anything else to say?"

The volunteer army general looked at Wang Yi and his companions, who looked exhausted from the journey but had no intention of leaving, and asked tentatively.

"Of course we have. Attacking cities and strongholds is not our strong point, but we, the martial artists and extraordinary people, are still somewhat confident in killing generals, seizing flags, and destroying behind enemy lines. If we can succeed this time, we may make the Japanese in the three provinces outside the Great Wall sleepless and hungry for the next few years."

"Do you need our help?"

"There are too many people and the target is too big. If you really need help, just give us a few horses to carry the load. Although we are immune to cold and heat, it would be convenient to have a means of transportation in this cold winter."

"In that case, we will wait here for your good news. If you and I can live to see a peaceful time in the future, I, Old Zhao, will definitely treat you all to a drink!"

"Okay, I'll remember this dinner for you guys behind me, General, don't forget it."

"I can't call myself a general, but I'll remember it as long as I'm alive."

After a round of greetings, they changed into sable fur coats, carried their baggage, and divided into two teams of nearly forty people. According to the information the assistant commander and the young commander had previously obtained, Wang Yi and his party also headed towards the direction of Ice City.

It is now the coldest time of the year. Here outside the Great Wall, it is normal for breath to turn into frost and water to turn into ice.

Fortunately, Wang Yi and his companions are all practitioners. They train hard in the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter. With their mink coats, they do not have as much difficulty going out as ordinary people.

Moreover, on this forest road, ferocious beasts are also looking for places to hibernate. The experienced animals have their own intelligence, and they will not act rashly when facing Wang Yi and his group, lest they become delicacies in their stomachs.

With the cover of wind and snow, and with the legendary hero Wang Yi leading the charge, relying on magnetic field martial arts to change the temperature of the area around them, the group did not feel too cold along the way.

But the more this happened, the more the Tang Sect, the Sanyi Sect and the Zhuge Family became curious about Wang Yi's last stop on this journey outside the Great Wall, Ice City.

Along the way, they also learned from the foreign aliens accompanying on the Continental Group's freighter what Wang Yi had done overseas in those years. He used the power of the enemy and raised capital to fight on equal terms with John Wick, the number one alien in the American world. The scene was almost as good as the battles between immortals in ancient books.

The description in words naturally made them understand that the young man who was shielding them from the wind and snow in front of them had already reached a level beyond that of ordinary people like them in cultivation. Only the head or the foundation of a major Xuanmen sect could compete with him.

Such a person can go anywhere in the world. Is there anything in this Ice City that requires him to go there in person?

Thinking of this, they also looked at Chen Zhen and Mendel in the team.

The former is from Tianjin Jingwu School and has studied medicine in Japan, and the latter is also a key figure in this trip outside the Great Wall. They are really curious about the advancement method of the Beast Master, a school that is not even considered mainstream in the circle of strange people, and what the path will be after the advancement.

But the information the two could provide was very little.

Chen Zhen dropped out of school and returned to China because his master was beaten to death in a martial arts duel with a Japanese warrior. After killing a Japanese officer, he fled to the outside of the Great Wall to avoid disaster.

Although he became the shopkeeper of a Jianghu inn, with the outbreak of the war, the inn's stronghold outside the Great Wall was basically destroyed. People like Chen Zhen who were on the wanted list of the Japanese Army naturally had to avoid disaster again and join the volunteer army.

As for Lao Meng, there is no need to say more.

Although his family's beast mastery has gained the attribute of being friendly to people after years of intensive research, that is all he can do.

The upper limit of the Beast Master is there. The higher the position of the creature in the food chain, the more Qi it needs to consume, and there are only a few things it can do. It is the best that he can do without relying on control, but just use the methods of the Beast Master to influence the other party when getting along with strangers, so that he can have more affinity buffs.

Moreover, the people who can be affected are basically ordinary people and those with weak minds. When they meet practitioners, as soon as their Qi is released, the other party will know that they have made some moves.

In order to make it work, he needs someone to help him. He must first subdue the opponent and disperse the flow of true qi in the opponent's body before he can take over. In Lao Meng's own opinion, he has already brought honor to his family by developing this extension method for his family's school, but Wang Yi now tells himself that his school still has a long way to go?

Old Meng couldn't think of any other way to advance, let alone others. On the contrary, Chen Zhen, who had studied medicine in Japan and received systematic modern medical education, seemed to have guessed something, but he didn't want to point it out at this time.

Because if it was as he guessed, then given the beastly behavior of the Japanese in the three provinces outside the Great Wall, Chen Zhen could not accept the possibility of that guess, even though he knew that this possibility was reality.

As they got closer to Ice City, the people who had been waiting for Wang Yi to reveal the answer also noticed something wrong from the villages they passed along the way.

They set out from Hunchun Port, which was 500 kilometers away from the Ice City in a straight line. Relying on their own means and horsepower, they reached the Ice City in less than a week, and were only about 6 to 70 kilometers away.

But whether it is the Tang Sect, the Sanyi Sect, the Zhuge Family, or even those former Ant Nest aliens who were temporarily recruited.

They all noticed that although the villages and towns near the border had also been harmed by the Japanese soldiers, the people living on the Sino-North Korean border had long known how the Korean people across the river were harmed by the Japanese soldiers, and they were well prepared.

Therefore, the harm caused by the Japanese soldiers was limited to stealing food, poultry and livestock.

But the closer we got to Ice City, the more abnormal the conditions in the villages along the way became.

The village was empty, with no food, no poultry.

At the beginning, the people of the Tang Clan could comfort themselves by saying that the villagers knew about the actions of the Japanese soldiers and moved out of the village immediately.

But when they saw the bullet holes on the wall, the blood that had long since dried, and some corpses discarded on the roadside, they realized that the situation here was worse than they had imagined.

But this could not solve their puzzlement, because the bones, bullet holes and dried blood did not match the approximate population of the village.

As they got closer to the Ice City, this situation became more common, and the traces left behind became more obvious, and there were even traces of fighting between aliens.

Until they settled down and rested in an uninhabited village 50 kilometers away from the Ice City.

"The marks are very recent. Judging from the cuts, the opponent should be a swordsman with great attainments. And his sword energy has fire attribute. Is it fire? Master, which sword master in the circle has this method?"

"If we talk about the master of swordsmanship, it must be Liuyun Sword, but their swordsmanship pursuit is Yun Wuchang, and the sword path is unpredictable. The sword intent of the trace left by the opponent is not bad, but it does not match Liuyun Sword. And the sword energy with fire is not necessarily exclusive to the masters of swordsmanship. Although there is no sword school outside the pass, it is possible that there is a family of sword practitioners who have inherited it. Don't think too much."

On the wall of the deserted village, Dong Chang looked at the sword mark more than three meters long on the wall, which showed the sword intent penetrating the wall. He also asked the master, but got no answer.

That night, everyone randomly found a house in this deserted village to rest, used local materials, boiled snow water and began to wash, while also recuperating.

By the campfire, the eldest master of the Tang clan, Chen Zhen, three sorcerers of the Zhuge family, Gao Fei, a disciple of the Gao family, Shui Yun of the Sanyi clan, and Wang Yi sat in front of the campfire, looking at Wang Yi who was meditating with his eyes closed, and they exchanged glances.

The current situation is too weird. There are strangely deserted villages along the way, bullet holes, and bloodstains left behind, and now there are also fights between practitioners.

If the Japanese soldiers had burned, killed, looted and massacred villages as they had seen before, they would have been angry but not as confused as they were now.

But what is happening in these villages right now seems to have nothing to do with the massacre. If the people in these villages hid in the mountains and forests to avoid disaster, then they should have found some footprints along the way. It is not easy to hide the traces of life of hundreds of people even if they hide in the mountains.

"I remember that your cousin Gao Jin is a disciple of the Chuma lineage. Although the Chuma immortals outside the Great Wall are in a mess now, your cousin didn't tell you anything?"

Among everyone on the field, only Shuiyun and Gaofei were relatively familiar with each other, and they had also participated in the battle between Fengtian and the Japanese and Manchu aliens back then. He was the most suitable person to start the conversation.

"I don't know. The ancestral land of the Xian family originated from Changbai Mountain. Brother Jin's sect is not at peace now. The Xian family is fighting each other. Not many Xian family members are willing to pay attention to the situation of other people in the land outside the Great Wall. Besides, Brother Jin is the next head of our Gao family. He has more things to do than me. How can I ask him these questions?"

"But this is too weird. Even if they are going to massacre the whole village, there should be a pit. All along the way, there are only deserted villages!"

As Shuiyun spoke, he looked at Wang Yi, waiting for him to speak.

At this moment, a gunshot from afar broke the silence of the night.

The moment the gunshot rang out, Wang Yi woke up from his meditation, and flashed out of the compound, followed by everyone.

"Southeast!"

Gao Yingcai and Li Ding, who were in charge of the alert, signaled loudly.

Upon hearing that, Wang Yi immediately turned into a stream of golden light and ran towards the direction they were pointing.

"You stay here. I, two Trinity disciples, and Chen Zhen will go over to check out the situation."

Seeing Wang turn into golden light and disappear in the blink of an eye, the master acted decisively, made arrangements immediately, and then followed him.

The gunshots were not far from where they were, only about one kilometer away.

When they arrived one step closer, they saw this scene.

Fires broke out, and a hundred or so puppet soldiers, together with dozens of Japanese soldiers, ignored the pleas of women in the village and were brutally taking half-grown children and relatively strong old men onto the trucks they had driven.

The gunshots that just sounded were just a few villagers who were resisting stubbornly. Seeing this scene, their doubts were answered.

Just when they were about to rescue people in a rage, Wang Yi, who arrived before them, stopped them.

"Someone took action."

Before he finished speaking, the master who arrived saw three figures rushing out of the woods.

One of them was the fastest, and lightning was generated between steps.

The knife flashed like water, and in an instant, the heads of more than a dozen puppet soldiers and several Japanese soldiers flew off.

Seeing the enemy attacking, the well-trained Japanese soldiers opened fire first, but the remaining two figures also showed their extraordinary skills at this time.

A figure wielded two swords, with a sharp sound and a cold light passing by. The bullets fired at them were cut in half in an instant and fell to the ground.

The momentum of the figure's charge was interrupted by this move. He held both swords in place, and it was obvious that the sword move of cutting off the bullets took a lot of energy out of him.

But the chaos created by these two figures also allowed the third figure to gather strength.

With a slash of the sword, the sword energy turned into a raging fire, igniting the air and turning the remaining puppet troops and Japanese soldiers into torches in the cold winter.

With bursts of ghostly howls, it fell to the ground after struggling for a while, melting the snow around it.

The three figures coordinated their movements smoothly and seamlessly, and within a few moments, they killed nearly 200 Japanese and puppet troops.

Wang Yi and his companions in the dark looked at the costumes of the three figures and understood that they were three swordsmen, three Japanese swordsmen!
