Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 345 Arrangement, Discussion

In the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China, that night, at the Japanese Consulate on the Embassy Street in Beijing.

In the consulate, a young man was writing something on the desk. The door opened and the figure who had secretly fought with Wang Yi during the day and suffered a loss walked in.

This rude behavior did not annoy the man who was writing. Without even raising his head, he greeted the figure who had barged in rashly.

"Good evening, Mr. Amakusa, it looks like you are fine now."

"Mr. Ishihara, we are just fighting, not a life-and-death duel. It is only natural that he wants to kill me in a few moves."

"So tell me how you feel, Mr. Amakusa."

"The opponent is very strong. I didn't understand why the headquarters always put his bounty at the top of the list. Now I understand. The intelligence said that he is only 32 years old, but the oppression he gives me is something I have never experienced from the leader. This country has been in decline for so many years, but it still has geniuses that make us jealous."

"In other words, the opponent may even be stronger than Master Abe? Master Abe, who inherited the blood of Abe Haruaki, the greatest Onmyoji of our Great Japan, could not bring you the pressure when fighting with this Wang Yi?"

"Yes, although I don't want to admit it, this is my first feeling after fighting him. I believe in my first feeling."

"Mr. Amakusa, I am not a person like you, so let's communicate with each other in a way that both sides can understand. Let me ask first, if we only use your power, how many people will be needed to get rid of him? How to arrange it?"

"Sir, I'm sorry that I can't give you a specific plan."

"reason."

"According to our research and understanding of Chinese practitioners, people like Wang Yi belong to the righteous path, but he is not pedantic. This means that even if we use civilians as hostages and force him to step into our trap, he will definitely leave as soon as he finds that the situation is impossible. And maybe we can gather enough masters to defeat him or injure him, but killing him and capturing him has become an unsolvable problem and cannot be done."

"Is that so? Then let me ask you another question. What if we use the military to deal with him? As you know, since the uproar at the headquarters, the cabinet, and even the emperor last year, the officers of the headquarters have been eager to occupy China. This time, you and I traveled from our homeland to here to better understand the strength of Chinese practitioners and submit a report to the headquarters. How much do we need to pay to get rid of this force? He is just a representative."

"It's still difficult, sir. Although this is no longer the era of cold weapons, it is true that individual force is ridiculous in front of an organized army and hot weapons. This includes Wang Yi. Although his personal destructive power may be able to compete with the firepower of a regiment or even more, it cannot change the reality that he is alone.

This means that once our army launches an attack, he will be powerless, but for the combatants commanding the army, it will be a disaster. If we use all our strength to protect the relevant personnel, this will cause displeasure to the top leaders, and the consequences are not something that Lord Ishihara and I can bear. "

The Japanese alien named Amakusa analyzed the pros and cons, which also made Mr. Ishihara frown.

The movements of his hands also stopped.

"It seems that we can't really blame our colleagues here. Facing such a guy sitting in the capital, if we want to obtain intelligence in the capital, it all depends on his mood. However, there is an old saying in China, which goes, "Attacking the city is inferior, while attacking the heart is superior."

"Sir, you don't seem to understand what I just said. Using Chinese civilians as hostages to force him to submit is not a good idea."

"But what if the country and the civilians he protects make him submit?"

"Ok?"

The Japanese man named Amakusa looked puzzled, and Ishihara waved at him, asking him to admire his handwriting.

When I walked forward, I saw the Japanese man named Ishihara wrote eight big words on a piece of paper: "Three people make a tiger, and public opinion can melt gold."

"Sir, do you have an idea?"

"I don't believe that all the practitioners in China are united. If we can use all the practitioners outside the Great Wall, can't we use the practitioners inside the Great Wall? And those who serve our security forces outside the Great Wall, our headquarters is determined to take this city. What we have to do is to cooperate with our headquarters and let them take this city with the least loss. Mr. Amakusa, please take a rest and get ready. Pick a good day and we will go meet this strange man, Wang Yi."

Wang Yi had no idea that he was already being plotted against by others. Now, he was arranging a way out for the people and relatives in his house.

The fall of the capital city will not change because of one more or one less me. The strength and military quality of the two sides are completely unequal at the beginning. The only thing I can do is to delay for a few days or reduce the deaths of a few soldiers defending the country.

He was very open-minded about this, but he didn't want the people in the house to be implicated because of himself. In the past few days, he had begun to distribute travel expenses to the servants in the house so that they could leave Beijing as soon as possible.

"Everyone, thank you for taking care of the house and helping me with my work during these years in the capital. Now that the war is about to start, I cannot guarantee that I can take care of all of you even if I have all the means. Take this money and leave the capital quickly before the Japanese officially start the war."

Inside the house, everyone was sobbing as they looked at the silver they had received and listened to Wang Yi's words.

Subconsciously, he was about to kneel down and shout towards Wang Yi who was standing there.

"Master!"

They did not kneel down, and Wang Yi supported them with invisible force.

"Don't kneel. When I destroyed the capital branch of I-Kuan Tao, I told you before I dismissed you that no one is worthy of your kneeling except your parents and the heaven and earth. I am the same." "Boss, just put away your magic power and let us kneel. We have seen how you treated us over the years. You never beat or scolded us at will, and you never deducted our money. If you had a meal, you would never leave us without food. We also know that you are a hero who dares to challenge the Japanese! But since you treat us as human beings, you should not let us lose our conscience.

There are so many brothers and sisters here, how many of them couldn't survive and were sold here by our parents? We don't hate our parents, and you burned our indentures in front of us. Now the disaster is coming, we just take the money you gave us and leave. What should we say to our parents when we go home? Where can we go if we are homeless? They are just Japanese, right? At worst, we will sell our lives to you! Go and die with them! ! I just ask you for one thing, don't drive us away! Boss! ! "

"Uncle Wang, please get up. You have a family, parents to take care of, and children to support. It's not worth it to leave your life to me."

The housekeeper, like Wang Yi, has the same surname as Wang. He was hired by Wang Yi later. He is a smart man and everyone in and outside the house respects him.

His voice also represented the thoughts of the people in the house, but the more so, the more Wang Yi didn't want them to stay.

But he couldn't use any means to drive them away by force. If they didn't leave, based on their experience of doing things in his house, the Japanese would definitely not let them go!

Just as Wang Yi was in a stalemate with so many people, Master Qin Er, who was watching and listening in the inner courtyard, also came out with the support of Master Chang Si.

"Big boy, don't waste your time on this. Listen to my advice. It's up to them to decide whether to stay or go. Don't worry about it."

"Second Master, you and Fourth Master are not planning to leave either?"

"Haha, I, Qin Zhongyi, was born in Beijing, grew up in Beijing, and will die in Beijing. Just because of a bunch of Japanese beasts from the Four Islands, I have to leave my hometown? Humph! Let the Japanese dream of a long life!"

"Yes, Big Boy, I'm just like Lao Qin. When the Qing Dynasty was still around, I lived on my bare crops, but I was sent to jail for my concern for the country and the people. Later, my bare crops were gone, but I fought against foreigners with my own strength. After the Qing Dynasty fell, I was still able to support myself. Two hardships didn't break me, so what about the Japanese? At worst, I can just sell peanuts and make a living. I'm waiting for the day when we can drive the Japanese away.

Besides, you are too concerned. Lao Qin and I have discussed this. Among all our old friends, only Wang Lifa has not interacted with us much. He just runs his family's teahouse. This old guy has been honest all his life. No one dares to offend him or get too close to him. It's his luck. If you are really worried, you can ask some people in the house to work for him. Anyway, his teahouse is quite big, so more people can go there to help him."

"But you two..."

"We two can't help you with other things, but we are bannermen after all. Our ancestors were all descendants of the Eight Banners. We know all the dignitaries in the capital, whether they have left or not. Old Qin is also the honorary president of the Chamber of Commerce. If the Japanese really enter the city, everyone will suffer, but Old Qin and I will not. The Japanese will definitely want to win over two old guys like us.

It's just right that we two old guys can use our remaining energy to find an opportunity to light a few fires in the Japanese backyard and make them have a good time. As for these people, we can also take care of those who want to stay. But you, if things really get hopeless, leave the capital as soon as possible. Don't be like the King of Chu in the play who refused to cross the Wujiang River. We still have a long way to go with the Japanese. The two of us are waiting for you to take care of us in our old age, don't you, Lao Qin?"

"Yes, big boy, if we talk about supernatural skills, the two of us, who are almost 200 years old together, are not as promising as you. But if we play with people, you still have a lot to learn. So let's not act like a child. Fighting the Japanese doesn't matter where you fight. You might die. As for the two masters living at the other end of our house, take them away too. Don't let them waste their time and effort here. We two old guys will die if we really die. The two masters can help you with a lot of things. Don't delay them."

Listening to the words of the two old men, and looking back at the people in the house who were still struggling with his invisible force, Wang Yi realized that he could not make the decision for them in this matter, so he stopped insisting.

"Since both of you said so, I accept it. Everyone, Second Master Qin and Fourth Master Chang have spoken, it's up to you whether you want to leave or stay. If you really want to leave and are worried about your family, I can also show you a way. Follow the company's cargo convoy during this period and find a good place to stay in the mountain city. You can stay together. You don't need me to teach you that you should not show off your wealth.

I hope that after the chaotic times, when the world is at peace, I will see you again. By then, don’t call me boss anymore. If you really meet me, just call me Mr. Wang. Wang Yi would like to thank you.”

As he spoke, Wang Yi also made a surprising move. He lifted up the hem of his skirt, knelt down towards these ordinary people who relied on him to have a stable life in this chaotic world, and bowed to them three times.

They wanted to stop him, but were supported by Wang Yi's invisible force. It was not until Wang Yi finished his worship and stood up that his invisible force field was completely dissipated.

After everything was done, Wang Yi said no more words. After leaving the decision of whether to stay or go to them, he left the house by himself. Because in addition to the dignitaries in the capital who entrusted him to transport antique calligraphy and paintings out of the city, and these old men who worked with him, there was another group of people waiting for him.
-
Beijing city, Yanwu Hall reception room.

Today, in the reception room of Yanwu Hall were not only the head of Yanwu Hall, but also Mr. Hu from Jishidi Hall, Mr. Duanmu from the medical family, Taoist priest Yunyou from Baiyun Temple and his disciple Fang Dongtian, Mr. Wu from Jiyun Society and his disciple Liao Tianlin, all of them were here, waiting for someone to show up.

These days, the friction between the Japanese troops stationed in Fengtai and the defenders of Pingjin has continued to affect not only the powerful people in the capital, but also the foreign factions living in the capital are not much better off.

After all the discussion, there are only two points.

If a war really breaks out, what should these alien sects do? Should they follow the defenders of Pingjin and fight the Japanese, or just wait and see?

If the Japanese really invaded and occupied the capital, and asked them to work for the Japanese, what would they do? Would they listen or not?
The eight words "Every man has his share of responsibility for the rise and fall of his country" are easy to say but hard to do.

Especially in the nearly 100 years of humiliating modern history, when they lost the war they had to cede territory and pay indemnities, and when they won the war they had to cede territory and pay indemnities as well. The betrayal of the Qing Dynasty and the incompetence of the National Government not only broke the backbone of the Chinese people, but even the hearts of these practitioners became unstable.

Now there is a common voice in their sects: when the Qing Dynasty invaded the country, we were able to live under their noses. We can't possibly have to live without them when the Japanese come, right?
To put it bluntly, isn't the Japanese invasion of the country just like the Qing Dynasty? Why should we care whether the people who are in charge of us are Japanese or Manchu?
Isn't it enough to just live your life? There's no need to risk your life!
This voice has become the mainstream, but it is different for those in charge.

Living under the Qing dynasty was different from living under the Japanese.

But the family is so big and powerful that even those who are in charge do not dare to make decisions for everyone, and they have to work out everything together.

As the number one person in the capital and one of the best experts in the entire Chinese extraordinary circle, Wang Yi must be involved in this discussion.

Just as the managers of each household were chatting with each other to kill time, Wang Yi arrived.

　I'm back. I'll post one chapter today and make up for it slowly tomorrow.
