Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 225: Establish your authority! Kill without mercy
Daqian Dynasty, great victory at Cangzhou Canal Transport Terminal!
The Cangzhou garrison defeated the Western coalition forces and captured Major General Johnson of the British Empire!

This news spread throughout the Daqian Dynasty like a bombshell.

In the capital, all the common people and dignitaries could not help but cheer after hearing the news.

This great victory is of great importance to the Daqian Dynasty.

However, Ximen Tang obviously handled this great victory in a low-key manner, giving all the credit to Cangzhou's main general Fang Zhiyuan.

In particular, all the prisoners of the Western Allied Forces were escorted to the capital by the garrison in Cangzhou.

It caused a great sensation inside and outside the capital.

Ever since the Western fleet arrived in Daqian, it has been showing off its might.

They landed and set up camp at Dongying in Shandong, and suddenly attacked the Cangzhou water transport terminal.

When everyone heard the news, people in the capital were in a panic and all kinds of rumors were flying around.

Many forces bought by Westerners spread all kinds of negative news.

The battleships of the British Empire are the world's hegemon and no one can defeat them!

During this period of time, the "war faction" within the court has been under great pressure.

Xu Shichang was under so much pressure that he almost hunched over.

Those who want to cede territory in exchange for peace are also waiting and watching, not knowing whether to continue to seek peace or wait and see what happens.

now,

With two great victories at Dagukou Fortress and Cangzhou Canal Transport Terminal, the Western Allied Forces were completely defeated and hundreds of people from the British Empire were captured.

The wind direction in and outside the capital suddenly changed!

Many noble families who previously supported "ceding territory for peace" and "surrendering" began to move towards the "war faction".

For a while,
The voices of the "war faction" are becoming louder and louder.

Many dignitaries and noble families began to raise funds, hoping that the court would lift the maritime blockade as soon as possible.

The "war faction" headed by the Emperor and the Sixth Prince finally had a day to hold their heads high.

They have waited too long for this day!
Beijing, Taihe Palace!

When Li Zheng heard the news of the great victory at Cangzhou Caoyun Wharf, he ate an extra bowl of rice.

In his study, he wrote an article in a very eloquent manner.

Although this battle was fought by Ximen Tang.

but,

Ximen Tang, however, was not greedy for credit and seemed to deliberately eliminate his influence, giving the credit to Fang Zhiyuan, the garrison commander in Cangzhou.

This approach made Emperor Li Zheng very happy.

He was really becoming more and more wary of Ximen Tang, fearing that Ximen Tang's influence would grow.

He specially wrote a secret letter to Chen Jie to express his gratitude for Ximen Tang's military deployment.

Simultaneously,

He also asked Ximen Tang to strengthen the defenses in Cangzhou and Dagukou Fortress in Tianjin to prevent the Western Allied Forces from starting to bombard the coastal defense line in retaliation.

After relaxing, Li Zheng became more and more satisfied with Ximen Tang's performance.

He was in a good mood and naturally had a lot of ideas.

The marriage must be done as soon as possible.

Ling Yue must be bound to Chen Jie and must be kept under control.

It would be best to have more royal grandchildren so that Ximen Tang would not have any rebellious thoughts.

I don't know why,
Thinking of this, Emperor Li Zheng felt his heart burning with joy.

However, thinking of the 'Jingyun Sword Master', he felt sad again.

-

Hebei, Cangzhou!
Chen Jie left the Dagukou Fortress in Tianjin and came here with his guards.

Cangzhou is not an ordinary place, it is the famous "hometown of martial arts"!
Legend has it that during the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Qin Shi Huang recruited young boys and girls to cross the sea to the east, and the starting point was Cangzhou.

not to mention,
It is also a hub where the north and the south meet and the largest salt transport port.

If Ximentang builds a business empire, Cangzhou is definitely one of the most important places.

He planned to take advantage of Ximen Tang's stationing in Cangzhou to take a good look around.

from now on,
Cangzhou is the territory belonging to Ximen Tang.

Although the government was still retained, the garrison had to be under the charge of Ximen Tang.

As soon as I arrived in Cangzhou, I didn’t expect that Cangzhou’s county magistrate Lin Jitang had already received the news.

I saw a middle-aged man, accompanied by civil servants from Cangzhou, waiting on the main street of Cangzhou.

When he saw the people from Ximen Hall, the middle-aged man hurried forward, bowed and shouted:
"General Chen——!"

As the county magistrate of Cangzhou, his official position was not high.

Naturally, his status was much lower than Chen Jie's.

Chen Jie didn't put on airs and started chatting with Lin Jitang.

Although Ximen Tang will be stationed in Cangzhou in the future, Lin Jitang will still be responsible for the various management of Cangzhou.

The two chatted for a while,

Chen Jie felt a little hungry and said to Lin Jitang:
"Master Lin, you are familiar with this place, let's find a place to eat and chat slowly!"

He knew that Lin Jitang came to see him today, not only to pay his respects, but also to report some important matters to him.

"Row!"

Lin Jitang didn't say much nonsense and said directly: "I am very familiar with this street in Cangzhou City. Let's go to Feiyun Pavilion!"

'Feiyun Pavilion' is a restaurant less than 500 meters away from where the two were talking.

Compared with Beijing and Tianjin, the quality of the restaurants here is naturally slightly different.

but,

After all, this is the most prosperous restaurant in Cangzhou. It is very clean, tidy and quiet inside.

After Lin Jitang brought Chen Jie inside, he told the waiter:
"Arrange a separate courtyard!"

He is the county magistrate of Cangzhou and the local official.

How dare I neglect the guys from Feiyun Pavilion?

The waiter led the way and everyone entered a courtyard behind Feiyun Pavilion.

Tang Feng and other bodyguards quickly dispersed, maintained order in the surrounding area, and were responsible for vigilance.

Chen Jie looked up and observed his surroundings, and found that this 'Feiyun Pavilion' was indeed very good, although the decoration did not seem luxurious.

but,

The scale is very large, but mainly quiet.

Apparently, this is where salt merchants gather, so the consumption shouldn't be too low.

As Lin Jitang walked, he introduced:

"General Chen, this 'Feiyun Pavilion' was built by a salt merchant. It has an elegant environment and is very quiet!"

"The dishes here are very complete. Usually, salt merchants from the north and south like to come here to eat and discuss cooperation."

After Chen Jie sat down, he asked Lin Jitang to sit with him.

Lin Jitang took out a book from his pocket, handed it to Chen Jie with both hands, and said straight to the point:

"I have heard that General Chen is keen on practicing martial arts. This martial arts secret book was collected by me by chance. I hope the general can accept it!"

"The Mighty Vajra Fist"!
Chen Jie, the head of Ximen Hall, is a martial arts fanatic, and this fact is widely circulated in the martial arts world.

This is also the character that Chen Jie deliberately created for himself.

After his martial arts realm broke through to the middle stage of Bronze Skin Ming Jin, he indeed became more and more obsessed with martial arts.

Even if he doesn't practice many martial arts, he will still refer to them.

Learn from the best!

Chen Jie never forgot this.

Originally, his martial arts were centered around poking his feet.

However, ever since he practiced "The Thirteen Guardians' Horizontal Training", the core of his martial arts has become this horizontal training kung fu.

All other martial arts have become auxiliary.

because,

This horizontal martial art is the unique Shaolin skill. If practiced to the extreme, one can reach the pinnacle of martial arts - being invincible before gods!
Chen Jie opened the book "Vajra Fist".

Compared to "The Horizontal Training of the Thirteen Taibao", "The Vajra Fist" is also a unique Shaolin martial art.

The internal power "Vajra Kung Fu" that Chen Jie is currently learning is highly compatible with this martial art.

Chen Jie used a Barrett sniper to kill Wu Jiangbei, the priest of the Taiping, who was practicing the "Mighty Vajra Fist"!
This "Vajra Fist" has a total of nine levels!

At this time, Lin Jitang only offered the first six layers!
Don't underestimate this martial art just because it has the first six levels.

You know, Wu Jiangbei had only practiced to the fourth level, but he had already broken through to the realm of Yi Sui Hua Jin.

He would give up everything he has in order to obtain the secret of the fifth level of "Vajra Fist".

What surprised Chen Jie was that when he just finished watching "The Mighty King Kong Fist", he didn't expect that the "Blood Dragon Jade" in his mind actually flashed.

[Martial Arts Merit Points: +500 points]

Huh?
Is it true?
He already had experience. As long as he could activate the 'Blood Dragon Jade' after seeing the secret book in his mind, it meant that this martial art was real.

No, it should not be said to be true, but that you can practice it yourself!

He had learned a lot of martial arts from Linghu Qiannian and Eunuch Cao, and wanted to refer to it.

Some of them are even the unique skills of the Imperial Palace and are absolutely authentic.

but,

Even if Chen Jie wanted to learn it very much, he couldn't activate the 'Blood Dragon Jade' in his mind, so it would be very difficult to practice it.

He only read the martial arts secret book "Vajra Fist" once and activated the "Blood Dragon Jade"!
Obviously,

This martial art can be mastered by yourself!
As long as the 'Blood Dragon Jade' is activated, his martial arts training will be twice as effective with half the effort and will be extremely efficient.

If other people get a martial arts secret book, they will never dare to practice it easily. This thing can't be practiced randomly.

It's hard to say whether you can succeed in practicing it. If you are not careful, you may go astray and get into big trouble.

What a good thing!

Power is indeed a good thing.

I didn't expect that I had just arrived in Cangzhou, and the local county magistrate actually gave me a martial arts secret book to please me.

If I didn't have the identity of the leader of Ximen Tang Righteous Group, who would curry favor with me?
Chen Jie nodded and calmly put away the "Vajra Fist" martial arts secret book.

This Lin Jitang is smart and capable!

In the following time, Chen Jie continued to listen to Lin Jitang's introduction to Cangzhou.

It's no wonder that although Lin Jitang gave him gifts as soon as they met, he looked like a veteran who was very good at getting along in the court.

but,

This guy is indeed capable and not a good-for-nothing.

The more they talked, the more they got along.

It was not until the sun set and the sky darkened that Chen Jie took Tang Feng and others to the largest inn in Cangzhou.

The barracks at the Caoyun Wharf is still under reconstruction.

Chen Jie came to Cangzhou for inspection at this time and naturally stayed in an inn.

He planned to take a short break, study the "Vajra Fist" he had just acquired, and then go to the Caoyun Wharf in the evening.

Since Ximen Tang defeated the Western coalition forces, the canal transport terminal resumed operations.

At night, salt-carrying ships from all over the place gathered at the canal dock, making it very lively.

Just as he was about to leave, Tang Feng walked in and reported in a low voice: "Sir, the local squire wants to visit you!"

Chen Jie frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Squire?"

He is now the leader of the Righteous Group, and not just anyone can pay him respect.

Although Chen Jie has never liked to put on airs.

but,

Sometimes, you have to keep up the good work.

Otherwise, it would be very annoying if everyone came to visit me.

"He is from the Cangzhou Cao Gang. His strength is unfathomable and he is not a pushover!"

Tang Feng reported in a low voice.

At this moment, a stern shout came from the corridor of the inn: "Stop! This is Ximen Hall's strategic location. If you take another step forward, you will be killed without mercy!"

Chen Jie frowned slightly when he heard the voice of the guards outside.

He opened the door and looked up.

I saw a middle-aged man in his forties being stopped by several guards.

After seeing Chen Jie open the door, the middle-aged man seemed to be very disdainful of these guards and started to walk towards Chen Jie.

Right,

The martial arts of these bodyguards are only at the Bronze Skin Ming Jin level.

The martial arts of this middle-aged man have obviously broken through to the realm of "Yisui Huajin".

Click——!
Just as he was about to move forward, the SS pointed the muzzle of the imitation AK47 assault rifle at him.

Six automatic rifles locked him from three directions, from front to back.

"I'm warning you this second time. If you take another step forward, I'll kill you without mercy!"

hiss--!
The middle-aged man finally changed his expression.

Although he was a top-notch master of Yi Sui Hua Jin, he felt the deadly danger when facing the muzzle of a gun!
what happened?

What kind of gun is this?
To know,
With his combat power as a strong man of Yi Sui Hua Jin and his spiritual realm of the late stage of "Inner Vision", he was not afraid of any firearms at such a close distance.

but,

The muskets of Ximen Tang's personal guards made him feel the breath of death.

call!
The middle-aged man couldn't help but take a deep breath, calm himself down, and stop.

Although he had never seen an imitation AK47 automatic rifle, he could feel the threat posed by this type of firearm.

The strong sense of crisis made him dare not act rashly.

He bowed to Chen Jie, who was standing at the door of the inn ten meters away, and said:

"Is this how the leader of the Righteous Group treats guests?"

When Chen Jie heard the other party's unfriendly tone, he couldn't help but look at the other party.

"Entertaining guests? Who do you think you are?"

After saying that, he turned to Tang Feng and ordered: "Break his legs and teach him a lesson. Next time you ask for a meeting, you must hand in your visiting card in advance!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man burst into laughter and said:

"You dare! In Cangzhou, I want to see who dares to touch me?"

Without saying a word, Chen Jie snatched the imitation AK47 assault rifle from Tang Feng's hand.

Bang bang—bang bang—!
The sharp sound of gunfire rang out, leaving no chance for the other party to dodge.

At close range, the automatic rifle fired in a saturation pattern, and the middle-aged man had no time to react.

Puff-!
I saw the middle-aged man lying on the ground, his leg completely shattered by a volley of bullets.

Chen Jie did not take his life, but directly broke his legs.

Wow——!
As the gunshots rang out, dozens of people rushed in from outside.

As soon as they entered the corridor of the inn, they saw more than twenty automatic rifles, which stopped these people twenty meters away.

The person who just rushed in aggressively was stunned for a moment.

They could feel the threat from the gun, so they all stopped and dared not act rashly.

"Commander-in-Chief Chen! We are one of our own. Please show some mercy!"

I saw a young man walking out from the lobby of the inn.

He was wearing silk brocade clothes, and it was obvious that he was of noble status.

hiss--!
When he saw the middle-aged man lying on the ground and everyone around him stopped, he couldn't help but gasp.

He bowed to Chen Jie, smiled bitterly and said:
"Mr. Chen, why are you doing this?"

The middle-aged man whose leg was broken shouted with gnashed teeth after hearing what the young man said:

"Young Boss, kill him—you must kill him!"

He covered his legs which were beaten into pieces and screamed loudly.

Bang bang—bang bang—!
Chen Jie fired again and emptied the magazine immediately.

The middle-aged man was lying on the ground, how could he react in time?

The ground was stained red with blood and a bloody smell filled the air.

Chen Jie returned the automatic rifle to Tang Feng as if nothing had happened, took out a handkerchief, wiped his hands and said:
"Who are you? Why don't you know the rules?"

The young man was completely frightened by Chen Jie's actions.

His face turned pale, and he replied, "Your Highness, I am Yang Yankang, the young leader of the Cangzhou Cao Gang!"

Chen Jie glanced at him and said calmly:

"Cangzhou Cao Gang Righteous Group!? Humph - no respect for elders or juniors. All the righteous groups in the world respect Ximen Tang as the most respected. This is the will of the imperial court!"

"How come you, the Cao Gang, don't know the rules?"

Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!
Chen Jie used thundering means to directly kill the middle-aged man, with the purpose of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

If these underworld forces are not taught a lesson, they will still think that Ximen Tang is easy to talk to.

To know,
Chen Jie is the leader of the rebel group appointed by the imperial court!

Not to mention the Cangzhou Caobang Righteous Group, even all the rightful groups in the underworld, including the Red Lantern Society, the Big Sword Society, the Brothers Society, the Green Gang, the Hongmen, etc.

All these gangs will respect the Ximen Tang Gang as the most respected!
The middle-aged man actually dared to break into Chen Jie's residence. It was obvious that the people from the Cao Gang had no respect for Ximen Tang at all!
Chen Jie won't indulge them easily!

Yang Yankang, the young leader of the Cao Gang, forced a smile and said:

"Misunderstanding! Commander-in-Chief, this is all a misunderstanding!"

"We, the Cao Gang Yituan, from top to bottom, all respect Ximen Tang!"

"I came to visit the Yituan Grand Commander this time. Mr. Yu was rash for a moment and offended you. It was the negligence of the Cao Gang. I hope the Grand Commander will forgive me!"

Chen Jie snorted coldly, turned to Tang Feng and said calmly:

"From today on, if anyone dares to disrespect Ximen Tang or act arrogantly in front of me, I will shoot them directly!"

"If you need me to shoot next time, you guards won't have to do it anymore!"

Click——!
All the guards were suddenly startled, pointed their guns at the surrounding Cao Gang members, and said in unison:

"Yes! Son!"

this moment,
Everyone was murderous and had their guns loaded.

As long as the members of the Cao Gang make any rash moves.

Then,

There is no doubt that Ximen Tang's guards will open fire directly without any hesitation.

A suffocating murderous intent permeated the surroundings, making people terrified.

Yang Yankang, the young leader of the Cao Gang, was stunned.

He had long heard that the Ximen Tang Righteous Group was very strong, overbearing, and arrogant!
However, he never took it seriously.

But now,

When facing Ximen Tang's gun, he realized how stupid it was to offend Ximen Tang.

Ximen Hall is a chivalrous organization, but it has never taken the "rules of the underworld" seriously.
