Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 192 The Beginning of the Jia Shen Rebellion

Early 1944.

Maoshan, Shangqing School.

"Brother Zheng, someone from down the mountain has come to deliver a letter that's for you."

"okay."

Zheng Zibu nodded and was about to go down the mountain to retrieve the letter when he suddenly remembered something.

Several months ago, he also received a letter from Zhao Zhen, the current chairman of Nadutong.

The contents of the letter were also very simple, just a few words, the gist of which was that Zheng Zibu should no longer have any contact with Wugensheng.

"I haven't contacted Wugensheng for the past few months, so could this letter have been sent by Zhao Zhen?"

With some doubt, Zheng Zibu went down the mountain and met the messenger.

"You...you're not an employee who knows everything, are you?"

"Goes everywhere? You're joking, Master. I'm just here to run an errand for someone."

"Entrusted by someone? Entrusted by whom?"

"I don't know him either. That person gave me some money and told me to deliver this letter to a Taoist priest named Zheng Zibu on the mountain."

"Master Daoist, do you know that Master Zheng?"

"That's me, just give me the letter."

"okay."

After handing the letter to Zheng Zibu, the messenger left Maoshan in high spirits.

Zheng Zibu could tell that the person was just an ordinary person who had never cultivated.

If the letter was sent by Zhao Zhen or his righteous friends, it should have been delivered by an employee of Na Du Tong.

This suggests that the person who wrote this letter is most likely someone whose identity is shady.

Thinking about this, Zheng Zibu already had some guesses in his heart.

Upon opening the envelope, the three characters "Wu Gensheng" at the bottom of the letter immediately confirmed Zheng Zibu's suspicions.

A moment later, Zheng Zibu, after reading the letter, burned it expressionlessly, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Wugensheng wants to see me?"

Involuntarily, Zheng Zibu recalled the letter that Zhao Zhen had sent a few months ago.

It was as if he had long anticipated that Wugensheng would write to him. How could this be?

Zheng Zibu rested his chin on his hand, a conflicted look in his eyes.

"Go? Or not?"

To be honest, Zheng Zibu actually quite admired Wugensheng.

If we disregard his status as the leader of the Quanxing Sect, Zheng Zibu would even consider him a close friend.

Even knowing his identity, Zheng Zibu was still willing to befriend him alone, for no other reason than that Wugensheng possessed such personal charm.

In addition to this, Zheng Zibu was willing to associate with Wugensheng for another reason: he found that associating with Wugensheng could help him improve himself.

This improvement may not simply be an improvement in cultivation level, but may also involve a higher level of thought.

It just so happens that Zheng Zibu has recently encountered some bottlenecks in his cultivation. Perhaps if he goes to see Wugensheng this time, he will be able to break through these bottlenecks?
"It's just a private meeting, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

However, Brother Zhao is right. Wugensheng is, after all, the leader of Quanxing Sect. Now that the country is in crisis, I can no longer remain so confused.

This meeting will be the last chance to sever all ties with Wugensheng.

If all else fails, I'll go to the headquarters of AnytoTong after this meeting down the mountain to personally apologize to Brother Zhao.

In the end, Zheng Zibu made his own choice—he was going to see Wugensheng!

At the same time, people from many sects, including the Celestial Master's Mansion, Wudang, Tiangong Hall, and Mihua, received the same letter.

After receiving these letters, these people all made the same decision: to keep the appointment!
……

Yan'an, headquarters of NaDuTong. "Chairman Zhao, those sects you had our people keep an eye on have made a move!"

Hearing Yu Yang's report, Zhao Zhen, who was focused on his cultivation, slowly opened his eyes.

"Zheng Zibu of the Shangqing School of Maoshan, Zhang Huaiyi of the Celestial Master's Mansion, and Zhou Sheng of Wudang all descended the mountain within a single day."

"Is it……"

Zhao Zhen nodded, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes.

"Chairman Zhao, should we have our people continue to follow them?"

"No need, let's withdraw all our people. With these people's methods, trying to track them without them noticing is nothing short of wishful thinking."

"Yes."

After Yu Yang left, Zhao Zhen fell into a long silence.

Even the best of advice can't persuade a damned ghost. Zhao Zhen has already done more than enough by going this far.

If he continues to interfere, given Wugensheng's current crazy personality, he might actually pull a self-destructive act against him.

Given Zhao Zhen's relationship with these people, they weren't close enough for Zhao Zhen to risk his life to save them.

After all, they would rather believe Wugensheng than Zhao Zhen's advice, so what else is there to say?
Of course, except for one person.

Duanmu Ying, the woman who saved Zhao Zhen's life in the battle of Tianming Mountain.

Zhao Zhen no longer cared about the fate of the other thirty-six thieves, nor could he. But he had to repay the debt of gratitude owed to Duanmu Ying.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen slowly stood up.

"Yu Yang".

"Director Zhao?"

"I'll be going on a long trip soon, so I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on things at the company for me."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao."

"Ah."

After explaining some precautions to Yu Yang, Zhao Zhen also embarked on his journey to find Duanmu Ying.
-
Duanmu Ying is the eldest daughter of Jishetang, a family of renowned physicians.

Born into a family of physicians, Duanmu Ying was taken in as a disciple by the head of Jishitang from a young age and learned a great deal of skills.

But she was not satisfied with the limitations of traditional medicine and longed for a wider world of knowledge, so she secretly went to sea to study without telling her family.

Speaking of which, this Miss Duanmu should be considered the most educated "returnee" among the "Thirty-Six Thieves".

As for the connection between Duanmu Ying and Wugensheng, it is likely that Duanmu Ying, who pursued the goal of "healing the sick and saving lives," saved Wugensheng several times.

After all, in the eyes of doctors, there is never any distinction of status; there are only patients who need help.

According to the information relayed by his subordinates, Duanmu Ying is currently on his way to the meeting place agreed upon with Wugensheng.

For Zhao Zhen, who possesses the Golden Stream Light technique, intercepting Duanmu Ying halfway before she arrives is naturally not a big problem.

As for the meeting place agreed upon by Wugensheng, it's not hard to guess at all. Just extend the directions in which the people are traveling and connect them at a point on the map, and it will be pretty much the right place.

Without a doubt, the meeting place chosen by Wugensheng was outside Xi'an city, in the suburbs south of the Qinling Mountains.

Inside a steamed bun shop in Xi'an.

"Boss, give me two steamed buns, with chive and tofu filling."

"Alright, girl! Your steamed buns are here!"

Looking at the fragrant, steaming buns in front of her, Duanmu Ying's eyes lit up.

"Sure enough, the big steamed buns here are much more appetizing!"

Just as Duanmu Ying was about to enjoy her meal, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out behind her.

"The steamed buns are nice, can I have one?"
