Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 103: Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
The woman looked Chen Jie up and down for a moment and frowned slightly.

what happened?

This person's martial arts has just broken through to the 'Entry Level of Cleansing Meridians' realm, and he has not even comprehended the 'Ming Jin'.

How could he inflict such heavy damage on Tuzang Jinzo?
With her martial arts skills, she could naturally see that Tuzang Jinsan was seriously injured and looked like he was about to die.

Her spiritual cultivation realm is at the middle stage of 'inner vision', and she can confirm Chen Jie's martial arts realm through the aura emanating from him.

Tuzang Jinsan is a master who has reached the "Great Accomplishment of Iron Bones and Dark Strength". How could he be defeated by someone who has only reached the "Introduction to Veins Cleansing" stage?
She couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked at Chen Jie in disbelief.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that the young man in front of her could beat Tuzang Jinsan so badly.

but,

Seeing Jin San dying, the woman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sir, why are you near the Japanese concession so late at night?" the woman asked.

Chen Jie shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I'm lost!"

He was telling the truth, he was indeed lost.

The woman naturally didn't believe it, but since they had just met, she didn't want to ask any more questions.

Next,
The woman leaned over and fumbled for a moment beside the burial site of Jin San, then took out a roll of paper.

With the help of the lights from the merchant ship at the dock in the distance, she unfolded the paper and took a look, and couldn't help but say, "Damn it!"

Chen Jie was surprised and asked, "What's wrong? What is this?"

The woman took out a piece of paper from her body, put it together with the paper taken from the burial place of Jin San, and compared them briefly.

"Despicable! There are actually two troop deployment maps!"

Seeing Chen Jie's confusion, the woman explained:
"This is the deployment map of the Japanese troops stationed in Lushun. The Japanese have been deploying troops recently."

"Although Tuzang Jinzang is just a samurai in the Japanese concession in Tianjin, his real identity is one of the leaders of the Japanese military intelligence group 'Black Dragon Society'."

"This troop deployment map is very important to our Daqian Dynasty, but I didn't expect that there would be two copies!"

finished,

The woman's face was full of worry. She took a deep breath and said:
"It seems that the Japanese landed in Lushun and blocked Shanhaiguan at the same time. They really want to annex the Northeast!"

"They plan to send an additional 200,000 troops to attack Liaodong!"

Mmm—Mmm—!
Jin San was bleeding too much and his body was shaking and twitching violently.

Not anymore!
He struggled for a moment, kicked his feet, and soon became motionless.

The woman placed her hand on his carotid artery for a moment and said to Chen Jie, "Dead!"

Chen Jie didn't say much. Tuzang Jinsan was shot three times just now. At such a close distance, his abdomen was pierced. Isn't it normal for him to die?
"Sir, I will never forget your life-saving grace!" The woman saluted to Chen Jie.

Chen Jie put away his gun and said calmly: "Alright, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of every man! It's just a small matter, no need to be so polite!"

"My name is Chen Jie, see you later!"

"By the way, you should leave as well. This place is too close to the Japanese concession. The noise you made just now was a bit loud. Someone will come over to check it out soon."

He packed up his things and turned to leave.

At this moment, the 'Blood Dragon Jade' in his mind flashed.

[Martial Arts Merit Value: +580]!
Huh?
Can this also earn [Martial Arts Merit Points]?
Originally, Chen Jie thought that in order to obtain [Martial Arts Merit Points], he had to fight his opponent with martial arts.

but,

I just killed Tuzang Jinzo with a gun and actually gained [Martial Arts Merit Points]!
accident!

What a surprise.

Although the [Martial Arts Merit Points] he obtained were not much, they were even less than the [Martial Arts Merit Points] he obtained last time when he was hit by the minions of Flying Eagle Car Dealership.

But it gave Chen Jie another idea.

If you want to obtain [Martial Arts Merit Points] more efficiently in the future, wouldn’t it be easy to use the 'Barrett' sniper rifle to carry out assassinations?

Go try it when you get a chance!
Chen Jie walked while thinking to himself.

The woman looked at Chen Jie's back as he left and shouted, "My name is Li Yun——!"

Chen Jie waved his hand, said nothing more, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

There was a noise coming from the Japanese Concession in the distance.

It seems that the gunshots just now alarmed the people in the concession, and they are rushing here to check.

The woman stood up, took her scimitar in her hand, looked at the direction Chen Jie left, and muttered to herself:

"Every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country! Chen Jie, I will remember you!"

After a while,
The surroundings returned to silence, and except for Jinzo's body buried on the ground, it was as if nothing had happened at all.

-

Xicheng District, Kyoto.

Lei Tuo, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, was sitting and chatting with a group of detectives.

Although the Daqian Dynasty was in turmoil, there were wars everywhere and an increasing number of refugees.

but,

For Lei Tuo and all the detectives, if the sky falls, there are taller people to hold it up.

We are all just trying to make a living, why do you care so much?
What if the Western powers invade the capital?
We are all just small people, we can’t change the sky or the earth.

Live a day well, it’s a day well lived.

"Boss, I heard that there have been conscriptions everywhere recently, and Shandong and Liaodong have both suffered defeats!"

"Stop talking. I heard that there is also war in South China and South Fujian, and the Westerners are coming aggressively."

"The most terrifying thing is the Japanese. Since the Beiyang Fleet was destroyed, the Japanese have been showing off their military power and have already landed in Lushun."

"Fuck, they say they're recruiting soldiers, but in fact, they're just making money for those bastards."

"Oh? What's going on? What about making money?"

"I got the news that the imperial court issued a compulsory conscription order. Every household needs to provide a male adult. If you don't want to serve in the army, you need to pay a silver dollar."

"Give me a silver dollar and you don't have to serve in the army?"

"—"

Lei Tuo took a puff of his pipe and shouted to the others around him:

"Everyone, please say less. There are some things that you can't just say. Be careful what you say!"

"By the way, Ghost Leg Seven has been detained for almost four days. Last time, the guy surnamed Chen said he would find a way to redeem him."

"Why is it that after so long, there is still no movement?"

After hearing this, the other detectives quickly changed the subject and said with a smile:
"What the hell is this person who wants to redeem? This time, it's clear that someone wants to punish him."

"I heard that Ghost Leg Seven's 'Thirteenth Aunt' is friends with Lord Xu?"

"So what if we have a relationship? The Ji family has been in decline for more than a decade, and the relationship has long been severed."

"Lord Xu holds an important position in the Military Affairs Office of Tianjin. He is now dealing with military and national affairs. How can he have the time to deal with these matters?"

"I was wondering, who on earth wanted to mess with Ghost Leg Seven?"

"Need I say more? Who else could it be except the people from the Taiping? Ghost Leg Seven is too high-profile and has great kung fu skills. Unless he joins the Taiping, he will be in great danger this time!"

"I heard that the people from the Taiping Axe Gang have said that as long as Ghost Leg Seven kneels down and admits his mistakes and joins the Axe Gang, they will release him."

"I was wondering why everything was fine, but the higher-ups suddenly asked us to arrest Ghost Leg Seven. It turns out that the Taiping wanted to deal with him!"

Just as the detectives were chatting.

Lord Shi Lin, the inspector of the Criminal Investigation Department, walked in from outside, accompanied by a young man with a stern face.

All of a sudden, all the detectives stood up.

Lei Tuo also quickly put away his pipe and went up to him and said respectfully:
"Master Lin, you are here!"

The young man with a grim face was Tie Niu, Xu Shichang's trusted follower.

quickly,

Lei Tuo understood the purpose of Lord Inspector Shi Lin coming here in person, which was to release "Ghost Leg Seven".

Lei Tuo naturally didn't dare to be negligent or say too much.

Ten minutes later.

Tie Niu took away "Ghost Leg Seven" who had been detained for four days.

When everything was done and Lei Tuo came back, everyone exclaimed in low voices.

"Are you kidding me? Lord Lin came here in person. Who was that guy just now? Why is he so important?"

"That's Tie Niu, the personal attendant of Lord Xu from the Military Affairs Office!"

"Ghost Leg Seven has climbed up so high that he can even get Lord Tie Niu to come to the Criminal Investigation Department in person."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. The people from the Taiping Axe Gang won't let it go so easily."

"What is the Axe Gang? Do they dare to challenge the Military Affairs Office of Tianjin?"

"It's hard to say! Lord Xu from the Grand Council can help Ghost Leg Seven once, but he certainly can't help him a second time. Of course, it has nothing to do with us. It's the business of the underworld. After this, the people of Taiping will not rely on the power of the government anymore!" "Damn it, I thought that by detaining Ghost Leg Seven, we brothers could get some benefits, but now, we haven't gotten anything at all. What bad luck!"

"—"

-

Tianjin, a large mansion not far from the Japanese Concession.

This is the base of the Taiping Axe Gang.

The Axe Gang's headquarters is in Tianjin, but recently they are planning to plant a flag in Xicheng District of Beijing.

The original plan was going very smoothly, and the "Flying Eagle Motors" was about to succeed.

but,

Unexpectedly, Tu Feiying of Feiying Car Dealership actually made an appointment to fight with a little-known "Ximen Car Dealership" outside the city.

If it was just an ordinary gang war, the Axe Gang wouldn't pay too much attention to it.

but,

Unexpectedly, Feiying Motors was completely destroyed overnight.

Then,

Tu Feiying found Wan Jinpeng in Humenfang and wanted revenge, but he didn't expect that Wan Jinpeng also lost.

All previous efforts were wasted!

Several months of hard work, all went to waste!
When Yan Hu, the leader of the Axe Gang, heard the news, he was furious.

at this time,

In the square of the Axe Gang's mansion, more than thirty elites are practicing kung fu.

These Axe Gang elites are different from the refugees. They are all well-trained warriors.

Most importantly, the Taiping had close relations with the Japanese.

The Axe Gang is one of the forces under the Taiping, so naturally they don't have a bad time.

The Japanese intelligence department in the Tianjin Concession often assigned tasks to the Axe Gang and asked them to collect intelligence.

Ho-ha--ho-ha--!
These people are not training with the Axe Gang's famous weapon - the axe, but are now training with Japanese samurai swords!

If an outsider saw this scene, he would definitely be shocked.

The sword techniques were sharp, the steps were neat, and each strike and each move brought the decisiveness of the Japanese samurai sword to its fullest.

What's even more terrifying is that these people have already reached the 'entry level of meridian cleansing'!
There are even some leaders among them who have reached the realm of "copper skin and bright strength".

In a pavilion next to the mansion.

Yan Hu was wearing a black robe and holding two iron balls in his hands.

He is already forty-eight years old and has experienced all the ups and downs in life.

At this moment, he was just looking at the people who were training hard on the training ground with an expressionless face.

In recent times, Yan Hu can be said to be doing very well and is in high spirits.

The Japanese not only sent people to help train the Axe Gang members, but also promised to let the Axe Gang manage one-third of Tianjin's territory in the future.

After the Japanese captured Lushun, they continued to increase their troops and planned to seize Liaodong!

Yan Hu is confident that he can make another contribution. As long as the Japanese take over the Northeast, the Axe Gang will surely benefit from it.

Every time he thought of this, Yan Hu felt proud.

Especially when he thought of the gentle and kind Japanese women in the concession, he felt a surge of excitement.

Do not know why,

Every time he went to the concession and spent a night with Japanese women, he felt twenty years younger.

Just then, a person came in from outside.

He was wearing wooden clogs, a samurai uniform, and a long samurai sword at his waist.

Kitagawa Yu, a ronin samurai from the Oriental Concession.

As soon as he came to Yan Hu's side, Beichuan You said coldly:
"Yan Hu, something big happened last night! Mr. Tuzang died, and you are ordered to send someone to investigate the matter!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Hu almost dropped the iron gallbladder in his hand.

He was surprised and asked, "Mr. Beichuan, what did you say? Mr. Tu-Tuzang is dead!?"

"How could this happen? Yesterday afternoon, he came here and taught us how to practice Japanese swordsmanship."

Kitagawa Yu has a snotty beard and is full of hostility.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Last night in the eastern suburbs of the concession, Jin Sanjun was buried and was killed!"

"There are three wounds in total, on the arm, leg, and abdomen!"

"The murderer is very powerful. He actually broke Tuzang-kun's samurai sword with one move."

"Our samurai swords are all made of special steel that has been tempered hundreds of times. The fact that they were able to smash Tuzang-kun's samurai sword with one strike means that the murderer's strength is at least at the Grandmaster level of 'Yisui Huajin'!"

"It's obvious that the great masters of the Daqian Dynasty have been dispatched."

"You need to speed up your plan. You must take over the West City District of the capital and send people to investigate the movements of the masters of the Imperial Palace!"

"Yan Hu, if you, the Axe Gang, can't even handle this, then there's no need for the Axe Gang to exist!"

"We can find Mr. Zhao from the Taiping and ask him to send someone else to do it."

Yan Hu hurried forward, pulled out the stool for Beichuan You, and wiped the stool with his sleeve so that Beichuan You could sit down cleanly.

Since he had chosen to join the Japanese, Yan Hu naturally knew that he had no way out.

"Mr. Beichuan, don't worry, we at the Axe Gang will definitely get it done!"

"Before, we were afraid to go to Beijing."

"But the situation is different now. The Beiyang Fleet of the Daqian Dynasty was completely annihilated, and Xu Shichang of the Ministry of War is unable to take care of himself."

"At present, the Sixth Prince of the 'war faction' in the capital is doomed. Mr. Zhao of our Taiping has issued an order for all of our major forces to enter the capital!"

"This time, we will not only take over the West City, but also the East City, North City, and South City!"

"It's time to teach this old bastard Xu Shichang a lesson. Ever since this bastard came to the Tianjin Military Affairs Office, he has been putting pressure on our Axe Gang."

Beichuan You nodded, very satisfied with Yan Hu's performance.

Clang——!
He unsheathed the samurai sword in his hand and slashed down with one blow.

Click!

I saw that a corner of the tea table in the pavilion was split into two halves by his knife.

"Humph! The Daqian Dynasty is still struggling to survive. As long as my army sweeps across the northeast and marches south, it will be the time to unify Daqian!"

"Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, India and other Western countries, let them show off their power here first!"

"One day, we will beat them all back!"

"The Daqian Dynasty thinks that by making peace with the West, it can stop our imperial warships. This is simply wishful thinking."

Yan Hu nodded without saying anything.

After a moment of silence, he looked up and said:

"Mr. Beichuan, don't worry, I will go to Xicheng District of Beijing in person this time."

"We no longer rely on the power of the government, but instead follow the rules of the underworld."

"Within ten days, we will set up a hero arena and challenge all forces in the West District of the capital."

"Those who obey me will prosper, and those who defy me will perish! We will destroy anyone who dares not to submit to our Taiping!"

Beichuan You sheathed his sword and snorted coldly:

"You are quite courageous, but setting up a hero contest is a challenge for your Axe Gang."

"We in the Oriental Concession can arrange people to help you, but you must ensure that you take over the West City District in the shortest possible time!"

Yan Hu nodded respectfully and said, "Hai! Mr. Beichuan, we, the Axe Gang, will ensure that we complete the mission!"

boom!
After saying this, he clenched his fists as hard as iron.

A powerful aura rose from him.

Then, his fist loosened slightly.

I saw the teacup crumbs slowly falling from Yan Hu's fingers.

Using his palm to crush the water cup into pieces, one can imagine how powerful Yan Hu is.

Beichuan You looked up, exhaled, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Late stage of Dark Energy! You have made a breakthrough - no wonder you are so confident!"

"Jun Yan Hu, I'm waiting for your good news. Goodbye!"

finished,

Beichuan You turned and left expressionlessly.
