Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 8 Send You A Thousand Miles Away
‘Bang! ’

In the police camp of the county town, everyone from the police chief to the team leaders stood there like quails, with their heads lowered and their eyes submissive, allowing the middle-aged man in military uniform with a gun on his waist to mess up the entire police chief's office.

Next to this middle-aged man stood a man who was also wearing a military uniform. He had a decent appearance, but there was an evil look between his eyebrows. He held a pistol with the safety off in his hand. He followed the middle-aged man's movements and aimed at the group of policemen in front of him who were lowering their brows and looking pleasing to the eye.

"There are only a dozen or so rebels, not even 20 of them, and you've been searching for so many days! And you didn't find even one? Do you really think I, Cao Ying, am easy to bully?"

The middle-aged man was named Cao Ying, a small warlord stationed in the county. He was backed by Sun Dashuai, a great warlord of the Beiyang regime, who controlled the five provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi. He was considered a confidant, but because he had offended the public, he was thrown here to recuperate. This time, he originally wanted to rely on the merit of catching the rebels to see if he could return to the power center of Sun Dashuai, but who could have expected that after all these days, he had not found a single one.

"Captain Cao, this is not our fault! The telegram from above said that the rebels only left Shanghai and might gather here, but it's just a possibility. It's not 100% certain that they will be here. So how could we possibly find them..."

"Oh, you suspect I'm playing tricks on you? Who are you and who am I? I'm Cao Ying! Marshal Sun's top general! How could the news I received be the same as yours? We've already issued ultimatums to the rebels in every county where they might gather, and set up a dragnet. Even if there's no news here, there should be some news in other places. Why not even other places? Can the rebels get away with it? I don't care. You must be neglecting your duties and playing tricks on me!"

With a shout, the soldiers who surrounded the police station camp in three layers raised their guns, loaded bullets, pulled the bolts, and aimed. For these soldiers who were paid to serve in the army and bully the people, killing a few policemen was not a big deal, not to mention that their commander was Cao Ying, and everyone knew that the commander's beloved son was an out-and-out murderer.

Hearing the sounds of bullets being loaded and bolts being pulled, the policemen all knelt down, weeping and kowtowing repeatedly to show that they had no intention of neglecting their duties and playing tricks on the great commander.

The young man who was watching the farce with a smile beside General Cao Ying also raised his gun happily and asked his father, "Dad, can I shoot?"

Hearing this, General Cao Ying, who was angry, frowned. It was not because he thought his beloved son was wrong to do this. He quickly said, "Son, your father has just stepped down. We have to consider Marshal Sun's reputation. Let's put it this way. You can only kill one, not more. When your father catches the rebels, you can kill them however you want. Just leave two rebels for your father to report to."

"Oh."

Cao Ying's son Cao Shaolin answered very obediently. If you didn't listen to the content of the conversation, it was like a picture of a loving father and a filial son.

With his father's permission, Cao Shaolin also raised his pistol and pointed it at the police chiefs who were kneeling and begging for mercy. Whoever he aimed his gun at dodged and even pulled his colleagues next to him to block the gun. Cao Shaolin found the scene interesting and funny. Cao Ying, who was standing by, also looked at his son's actions with an expression of teachable behavior. The soldiers around him were already accustomed to what was happening before their eyes, and there was no expression of pity on their faces.

"Dad, I thought of something fun. How about letting them pick one out and beat him to death? Come on, choose yourselves, play rock-paper-scissors or fight, just pick one out and beat him to death, quick!"

"Good! You are worthy of being my son, Cao Ying!"

In contrast to this father and son who killed people without mercy and even took it as fun, these police chiefs fought for survival after extreme panic. In the end, the chief of the police station was pushed out, and the dust settled with a gunshot.

"Okay, you will be the director next. Bring your people and block all the main roads in the county! Call back the cars that have been dispatched, and stop the ones that have not been dispatched! Lei Yue! You should follow them too. Have I kept you for so long just to eat for nothing?"

"Please calm down, Marshal. I'll go right away."

His name was Lei Yue. He was the strange man Wang Yi had met once before at Nanhu Restaurant. Although he did not notice any clues on Wang Yi, Wang Yi could see that this strange man named Lei Yue practiced horizontal kung fu, was very strong and could not be injured by swords and guns, just like the classic knights in traditional martial arts who could fly over eaves and walls.

After replying with a buzzing sound, the strange man named Lei Yue, holding a broadsword, followed the patrol team and two rows of soldiers and left the patrol camp.

Although the times have changed and firearms have become the mainstream, Lei Yue, who has mastered the horizontal training kung fu, is still used to the knife in his hand. It's not that he looks down on the power of firearms, but he is very confident that his horizontal training kung fu can kill into the army within a hundred steps under the hail of bullets. Of course, this hail of bullets also has a limit, that is, the opponent is holding Mauser rifles.

If there was a machine gun on the opposite side, he would not think twice and would just run away. There is a difference between a hail of bullets and a rain of bullets.

But he thought that it was just catching the rebels, and it was meaningless to hold a gun, so it would be more comfortable to hold a knife.
-
"Follow up! Keep up!"

"Hurry up! If you're late, you might as well be careful of your life!"

There was chaos on the streets. The sound of dense footsteps and the collision of guns rang out in the dark night. Looking at the soldiers and patrolmen holding torches and walking through the streets and alleys, every household closed the door and only looked outside through the small gap in the window. No one knew what was going on.

The train station is naturally not in the county town, but in the suburbs. It is not too far away, just a few miles away if you run there.

Just as this team of soldiers and patrolmen led by the alien Lei Yue stepped into the forest road and wanted to rush to the train station, the alien Lei Yue immediately realized that something was wrong. Before he raised his hand and shouted a warning, the soldiers and patrolmen following behind him were already in chaos.

"Hey! Why can't I see?"

"Fuck it, which bastard is pointing a gun at me? Is it you?"

"Who the hell are you talking about! You're the only one with a gun and I don't? Brothers, grab your weapons!"

"Stop making noise! ​​Stop making noise! ​​Just stand where you are!"

Listening to the troops behind him falling into disarray, the stranger Lei Yue let out a loud roar, like the sound of a huge bell, but it did not have the effect of calming his mind. These people were in chaos and quarreling, and even Lei Yue, who was well versed in horizontal kung fu, felt dizzy at this moment. He had to bite his tongue and stand with a knife in hand to stay awake.

He had heard his elders from the sect mention that this kind of way of being caught unconsciously and affecting the five senses was called a sorcerer! And the sorcerers were the most difficult for their sects of foreigners who had started from horizontal training and hard bridges and horses. Knowing the danger, Lei Yue hurriedly said loudly.

"Which sorcerer is playing this joke on me? Lei Yue from the Iron Hand Sect has learned his lesson here."

After saying that, Lei Yue calmed down and concentrated, holding his sword in his hand, ready to deal with possible attacks at any time. But after a long time, he only heard a voice echoing from an unknown direction.

"Iron Hand Sect? I've never heard of it. It doesn't matter. We have different positions. You want to arrest the rebels, and I want to protect them. It's that simple." The voice is so young? Is it from Wuhou Sect or Shuzi Sect? Hearing this young voice, Lei Yue was shocked. The means to trap these hundreds of people were too incredible. Even he didn't know when he was tricked. Or was he targeted from the beginning? Thinking of this, Lei Yue broke out in a cold sweat and quickly showed weakness.

"Well, I have learned your skill today and I am willing to admit defeat. I hope you will show some mercy."

"That depends on whether you understand what's going on. I advise you not to move."

After that, the voice stopped, and Lei Yue's nerves were stretched to the extreme, fearing that he had been tricked. But soon, Lei Yue realized that the trick was not aimed at him, but at the soldiers and policemen around him, because they had guns!

Before he could make any move, the conflict between the soldiers and policemen, who had already fallen into fear, was further intensified.

"You're so shameless! I'm shooting!" The sounds of bullets being loaded and bolts being pulled could be heard continuously.

"Come on! Shoot! Even if you shoot, I can kill you first!"

'boom! '

Under this heavy pressure, no one knew who could not bear it and fired the first shot. Then the sound of gunfire continued, accompanied by screams on the forest road. Even Lei Yue, a strange man with a set of horizontal training kung fu, had to move and hide behind the tree trunk.

Then, Lei Yue felt a force neither light nor heavy coming from his waist, pushing him, and this push pushed Lei Yue out of this predicament.

Lei Yue, who hurriedly found a place to hide, could see in the light of the fire that the soldiers and policemen, who were now in disarray and confused, were firing at each other indiscriminately, fighting each other. One after another, they fell down with seven or eight bullet holes on their bodies.

The gunshots didn't last long. When the soldiers and patrolmen came to their senses, the team of more than a hundred people was reduced to thirty or forty, and most of them were patrolmen. Most of the fallen were Cao Ying's soldiers. Looking at the corpses in front of them, the patrolmen and soldiers who were still alive had already lost their minds. Looking at the dark forest road around them, they kept shouting.

"There's a ghost! There's a ghost! Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I won't dare to do it again!"

With the howling of ghosts and wolves, they fled towards the gate of the county town. At this time, the last train in the suburbs had already started and slowly drove away from the county town.

Only the stranger Lei Yue, holding the knife in his hand, looked at the mess and corpses in front of him. Cold sweat had unknowingly soaked his clothes, and a voice came to his ears.

"Take care of yourself!"

After swallowing his saliva and touching his short hair, Lei Yue collected his thoughts and left this place of trouble.
-
It was not until the strange man named Lei Yue had left for a long time that Wang Yi walked out from the shadows of the silent woods.

The killing plot just now for the warlords and the alien Lei Yue was naturally his work. Of course, he was not a sorcerer, but it did not mean that he did not have similar methods to those of a sorcerer, he just did not show them.

Looking at the bodies scattered all over the ground because of the killings he set, Wang Yi did not show any pity or compassion. He had seen worse things since he came to this world in the first year of the Republic of China, not to mention that he had killed these people with his own hands. In the future, everyone here would be sentenced to a minimum of ten years and a maximum of death penalty, so he could be considered to have been saved in advance.

‘Woo! ’

In the distance, the whistle of a departing train was heard. Wang Yi looked in the direction where the whistle came from and bowed deeply. Then he erased all traces of himself in the woods and walked towards the county town.
-
A burst of dense gunfire rang out in the suburbs, but no one was willing to be curious and join in the fun.

But before General Cao Ying in the county could take any action, two figures suddenly appeared at the crime scene.

In the light of the fire, you can see two people with agile movements, one middle-aged and one young. The middle-aged man is wearing a Chinese-style long gown and a mandarin jacket, while the young man is wearing a Western-style shirt and trousers. He frowns as he looks at the corpses on the ground.

"This seems to be Cao Ying's territory. These people are Cao Ying's soldiers. Uncle San, which kid is so bold as to kill these big-headed soldiers?"

"Guangda! Don't talk nonsense without evidence. It could be the work of the Quan Xing monster!"

"I got it, Third Uncle." Scolded by his elder, the young man named Guangda still laughed as he looked at the dead soldiers on the ground, "Oh, no matter what, it's a good kill! These lackeys of Cao Ying never do anything related to humans. How many innocent people have died in their hands? In my opinion, Cao Ying should also be..."

"Lu Guangda! If you say one more word, I will have my grandfather send you out of the country right now!"

"I know I was wrong, Uncle San."

Seeing that his nephew was unwilling to accept the decision, Uncle Lu couldn't help but sigh.

“I know you’ve read a lot of books and understand a lot of truths, but now is a time of trouble. No matter how prosperous our Lu family is, we can’t withstand the bombing of a few hundred guns and cannons. Some things are right in front of us and we should help if we can. Some things we can only turn a blind eye to. I know you are not convinced. How can such a big country become like this?

I don't accept it either! But what can I do? There is power but no justice. If you really want to vent your anger, then be prepared. After this ancestor worship, go abroad and learn all the knowledge of the foreign devils. It would be best if you can surpass your teachers!
When you come back, your skills will be no less than your achievements in Qi training. Maybe the world will be settled by then, and people like you will be needed to contribute to the country. Do you understand?"

"Got it, Third Uncle!"

"Let's go. Keep a low profile when you enter the city. Cao Ying doesn't dare to do anything to our Lu family."

After saying that, the uncle and nephew got up and rushed to the county town. This was just a small episode that happened after Wang Yi left the county town.
