Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 60: He Comes with Bad Intentions
Yutai Teahouse is quite lively at night.

Boss Wang cooked personally and chopped up one of the two yellow-feathered chickens that Chang Siye sent him after he renovated and opened his teahouse a few days ago. He prepared a whole chicken feast and paired it with two jars of good wine to entertain Wang Yi and four others who came to his teahouse for a monthly subscription.

Of course, this was all paid for.

Apart from Wang Yi and his friends, the only people sitting together were Mr. Qin Er, Mr. Chang Si and Boss Wang, three elderly men in their fifties.

Master Qin sat in the main seat, listening to Wang Yi recount his experiences over the past few years. He did not tell Master Qin about the sad things, and he just said that he was lucky, was favored by a master, became his disciple, and had the guidance of the Sanyi Sect, and now he was considered to have achieved success in his cultivation.

"You've suffered a lot these years. I didn't expect that after recruiting so many students, you're the only one left now. Fortunately, there's still one left..."

"Second Master, no matter how hard it was for Brother Ren Wang, he finally made it through. I know about foreigners. When I first came out of prison and joined the Boxer Rebellion, I fought against foreigners a lot. At that time, it was only thanks to the powerful foreigners in the Boxer Rebellion that we managed to win a few battles. It's a pity that no matter how advanced the martial arts passed down by our ancestors were, they could not withstand the strong ships and powerful guns of the foreigners."

"Hey, Fourth Master, we are all so happy today, don't talk about these things that spoil the fun."

"My, my, I'll drink three cups as punishment."

No one took it seriously, and Wang Yi, looking at Master Qin, who seemed to have regained his fighting spirit after seeing him again, toasted him with a glass.

"Second Master, when I came in earlier, I heard you say that you wanted to exchange your house for the warehouse behind Boss Wang's in exchange for the factory you had before? Where will you live after that?"

"I am a lonely man. My ancestors didn't leave me anything but a little inheritance. Even if I lose these two pieces, I still have a small house at the entrance of the alley, which is enough for me to live in. If the factory is in the hands of those bastards, people will starve to death. It's a sin to see them destroy my factory like this!"

Wang Yi understood Qin Erye's temper and knew that he was a truly good man. However, this idea would be shattered if it encountered the world, and there would be at least 25 years of hardship to endure. He didn't want to see this elder who had already known his fate end his second half of life with a sad and bleak ending. This should not be his ending.

"Second Master, I have been traveling abroad with my useless master for these years, and I have also learned a truth. As a businessman, as long as you don't have a relationship with the military commanders above, or don't have the support of foreigners behind you, no matter how hard you work to build the country, in the end you will be their money bag. Once you make money, they will eat you up without leaving any left. If you still want to run a factory, listen to me and endure it for a year or two."

"If we endure for a year or two, will the world get better?"

"No, but at least at that time, I might be able to make you run a good factory, Mr. Qin, and really do good things, and no one dares to trouble you."

As soon as the words came out, the table suddenly became quiet. Mr. Qin, who was considered to be experienced in dealing with people, looked at Wang Yi, and after a long silence, he also nodded.

"We've come through all these years, and another year or two won't be a problem. You've grown up and have your own ideas. I'll listen to you, a young man, for once."

"Second Master, maybe you will have to take me to work."

"Haha, you kid are still as talkative as before."

The banquet of a long-awaited reunion ended just like that. Although there are night markets and nightlife in Beijing, they do not belong to the people present. After seeing off Mr. Qin Er and Mr. Chang Si, Boss Wang continued to count the time on his counter to close the shop, while Wang Yi and his friends also went back to their rooms. However, before going upstairs, Wang Yi asked Mr. Qin Er for the Beijing Morning Post from the past two years.

In the room, Si Chong, Li Muxuan and Liang Ting washed up after a day of travel, and then sat in meditation to regulate their breathing and practice tranquility.

Wang Yi was sitting at the table on the balcony, lighting a kerosene lamp. During the Republic of China period, the capital city had a power plant and electric lights, but those were not something a small hotel like Yutai Teahouse could install.

Even kerosene lamps were a luxury only available to ordinary families.

With the help of a kerosene lamp and the ability to see at night, Wang Yi sorted the newspapers he bought from the newsboy this morning and the newspapers from the past two years that he got from Boss Wang by chronological order and found the information he wanted.

"Breaking News! The traitor committed treason, and the great hero Yan Zi Li San and his family of three were killed by the traitor Li Tianran! The Li's house in the northern suburbs was burned down!"

Date of publication: May 7, 1923.

《Breaking News! Great scholar Ichiro Nemoto claims that Japan is the orthodox Confucian school and is building a Confucius Institute in Maoer Hutong to recruit students! Scholars from all walks of life are welcome to come and debate!》

Date of publication: June 7, 1924.

Next is the newspaper that Wang Yi bought this morning.

Wang Yi looked at the three newspapers that he had specially picked out, and the outdated and not-outdated news on them, which connected with the few memories of later generations in his mind.

Then he took the pen and paper next to him and began to write down the news in the three newspapers and some ideas in his mind.

Make it into a mind map with blank space, make two copies, and hide them all on yourself.
-
The next day, at the gate of Yenching University.

Lu Guangda, who arrived in Beijing earlier than Wang Yi and his party, walked out of the school gate and saw Wang Yi waiting for him there. "Wang Yi, you made me wait so long!"

"I ran into a few Quan Xing on the way to the capital, which delayed me a bit. Brother Lu, can we find a quiet place to chat?"

"Then let's go to where I live."

"Brother Lu doesn't live in the school building?"

"You need some private space."

Both of them were cultivators. Lu Guangda wanted to know more details from Wang Yi, so he naturally quickened his pace, and Wang Yi naturally had to keep up. The two of them walked ten miles on the street without making anyone feel uncomfortable. After a while, they arrived at a residential area.

Wang Yi had an impression of this residential area. When he was begging, this was the land of the princes and nobles of the previous dynasty. Now that the Qing Dynasty has fallen, this land has a new owner. Only a few nobles can still keep their dignity and continue to live here.

But he didn't expect that the place Lu Guangda rented outside would be here.

"I prefer to do research quietly by myself. It's a mess outside, and I don't want to disturb my roommates in the school building. I can only use some money from home to rent a house here. It is said that the swallows in the halls of the rich and powerful in the old days have flown into the homes of ordinary people. This swallow in the hall has flown from the old times to the new times. Even the swallows in the halls of ordinary people look down on it."

"Brother Lu, there's no need to say such sad things. Talking too much will only cause you trouble. But then again, looking at your leg strength just now, it seems that you have incorporated what I gave you into your practice."

Wang Yi thought about the time when he first met Lu Guangda and learned his name. He immediately gave this big guy his experience of human magnetic field. After all, he couldn't use himself as an example for the practice of this thing. He had to let this physics or even future nuclear physics expert study and figure out a detailed way of practice.

"I listened to the first half, but forget about the second half. I'm not you. I got a headache looking at the notes you gave me, which were full of "I think, maybe, maybe" words. I was walking on thin ice when I was practicing. Only people like you who only have ideas but no actual practice would dare to practice like this!"

At this point, Wang Yi finally understood that Lu Guangda was sure that he was fooling him. It was just that the two academic terms of strong and weak nuclear force that did not belong to this era, as well as the words combined with the future trend, intimidated him and made Lu Guangda believe it.

He would not ask why Wang Yi could say these things. These views could not be explained by the experience of crawling among the dead in his early years and following the Ghost Hand King in his later years.

But Lu Guangda's intuition as a warrior and his rationality as a science student told him that he could believe Wang Yi's words, but how to implement them specifically would have to wait until he arrived in the United States and decide based on actual conditions.

"Hey, Mr. Lu, it's rare to see you back at this time. You don't have classes now."

Just as Lu Guangda was joking, the side door in front of the two men opened, and a middle-aged man in a long gown and a round hat walked out. He was also wearing a pair of small sunglasses, and next to him was an old man in his sixties, with broad shoulders and a strong waist, and bright eyes.

With just one glance, Wang Yi knew that this old man was a master of external martial arts and a fierce warrior on the battlefield. His level was much better than the more than 20 Quan Xings he had dealt with alone before. At least it would take him a lot of effort to defeat him.

"Yes, I have finished my homework and have learned almost everything in the textbook. I am going to go abroad later. My friend happened to come to visit me, so I brought him here. Mr. Lan, where are you going?"

"Where else can I go? There are a lot of problems in the cabinet that are causing me trouble. I have to go and deal with them. See you later."

Without much greeting, the man whom Lu Guangda called Mr. Lan passed by Wang Yi.

Lu Guangda also led Wang Yi through the side door.

"This house used to be a princess's mansion, but now it belongs to Lan Qingfeng, Mr. Lan. He is considered a giant in the capital. The princes and nobles of the previous dynasty who now live in the imperial city are all related to him. The senior beside him is called Yu Wanshan. During the Wuxu period, he was called one of the four great masters of the capital, and his kung fu is second only to my mentor Li Shuwen. My teacher said that when Mr. Tan was imprisoned, he was the one guarding the prison, and he fought with Wang Wu, the big knife, and the outcome is unknown."

Listening to Lu Guangda's introduction, Wang Yi looked at the closed side door behind him.

"So there is a Mr. Lan in Beijing. I wonder if there is a Zhang Mazi in Pudong..."

"Zhang Mazi? That's an old man from the eighth year of the Republic of China. I heard that he failed in Sichuan and Shu and died a long time ago. This Mr. Lan became famous in Beijing in the tenth year of the Republic of China. In less than a year, he invited this old man Yu Wanshan to his side. Wang Yi, if you really want to make a layout in Beijing, I will leave this house to you after I go abroad. Anyway, I have paid enough money in advance, and there is still one year's rent here. You can come and live here without worry. It's a good opportunity to get in touch with this Mr. Lan. Maybe he can help you."

"Get in touch with this person? I'm afraid he has bad intentions."

Wang Yi followed Lu Guangda through many twists and turns in the compound before arriving at the room where Lu Guangda lived. Listening to Lu Guangda's advice, Wang Yi couldn't help but joke.

"You are here with bad intentions? Wang Yi, you are the one who is here."

　I am still looking for follow-up reading, collection, recommendation and monthly votes. I will let you know how many chapters will be released before the release.

　　In addition, special thanks to my book friend Bashan Laoyaowang for his reward. I cannot update the book quickly for the time being, please forgive me.
