Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

"Commander Shen, have some wine first to warm yourself up. I don't have much good wine here, please don't mind."

Shen Hao's drinking prowess was widely publicized yesterday, and even Gong Baosen had heard about it.

I subconsciously assumed that Shen Hao was a person who liked to drink.

"Haha, of course not," Shen Hao laughed.

Shen Hao is not addicted to alcohol.

Sometimes, however, you really can't do without drinking.

Suddenly, a disciple outside shouted.

"Master, Master, something terrible has happened! A Japanese ronin is causing trouble in the street and has killed many people!"

Gong Baosen frowned, his face darkening. When his apprentice entered, he asked, "Tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"

The disciple said, "I don't know the specifics, but it seems to be a Japanese person."

They drew a circle on the main street of Dongtou Vegetable Market and said, "This is Japanese territory. Anyone who dares to enter this circle will be killed."

I heard that several have already been killed.

Upon hearing this, Shen Hao's anger surged, fueled by a deep-seated hatred for the Japanese.

Before Shen Hao could speak, Gong Baosen, with a gloomy face, slammed his right hand on the table, and the entire table shattered into pieces with a loud crash.

"These Japanese are really going too far, daring to act wildly on our territory. Come with me to see what they're doing."

"It's master"

Seeing this, Shen Hao said, "Master Gong, I'll go take a look too. I want to see how arrogant those Japanese devils are."

Gong Baosen hesitated for a moment before saying, "This matter is causing some trouble for the Japanese."

In a moment, I hope Commander Shen will not act rashly.

"The nature of our actions is different from that of yours, Commander Shen."

If it were a private act, it would be a revenge killing. Shen Hao represented the Beiyang government, and if he took action, he would be giving the Japanese an excuse.

Shen Hao said, "Yes, Master Gong, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

At the eastern end of Fengtian City's vegetable market, countless ordinary people were gathered at the street entrance.

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation.

In the crowd, a Japanese man drew a large circle on the ground with a radius of 5 meters and stood in the center of the circle.

Several corpses lay beside him.

There were also dozens of armed Japanese soldiers nearby.

The Japanese man looked at the crowd around him with a cold smile.

"Is nobody here? A bunch of weaklings from East Asia. If you're not happy, come in and fight me one-on-one."

"You little Japanese devils, if you've got the guts, tell these soldiers to retreat, and we'll beat you to a pulp!"

"Yeah, let's make them leave."

Japanese ronin's saying: "Only two people can exist in this circle at the same time."

These soldiers are just maintaining order; they won't actually take action.

I drew this circle today.

If no one comes, then this is my territory.

If you want to take it back, then come in and kill me, or I'll kill you.

If you dare to come in, I dare to kill you.

I don't know if you have enough seeds.

His demeanor was extremely arrogant and domineering.

The onlookers were filled with rage and gritted their teeth.

But no one dared to make a move; clearly, they were no match for the Japanese soldier.

"You little Japanese devils, stop being so arrogant! I'll kill you!"

A man carrying a butcher's knife pushed through the crowd and walked in.

"Butcher Zhou, don't go. You're no match for him."

"Yes, it's a trap, deliberately designed to lure us in. That Japanese swordsmanship is quite good."

"That's right, Butcher Zhou, don't go throwing your life away! This is a trap, deliberately provoking us."

'That little Japanese guy has killed several people. It's starting to snow heavily today, so there's no need to pay him any attention. Let that son of a bitch freeze to death.'

Butcher Zhou, who slaughters pigs at the market, couldn't accept the Japanese soldiers' arrogance today.

"Fellow villagers, I appreciate your kindness."

Back then, the Japanese and Russians were at war, and my father was killed by the Japanese.

Now that this bastard has come to bully us on our doorstep, how can I tolerate it?

"Though I am but a common man, it will not be easy for him to kill me."

After saying that, he picked up the butcher knife and went inside.

"I don't kill nameless nobodyes. You little Japanese devil, what's your name? Remember it in the underworld so you can come looking for me for revenge."

"You too?"

After saying that, the Japanese ronin suddenly drew his sword. Everyone saw a flash of white light around them, and then a bloody gash appeared on Zhou the Butcher's neck.

In an instant, a torrent of blood gushed from his neck, spraying out with a "plop".

Blood was sprayed on the ground, leaving a bright red stain.

Butcher Zhou couldn't believe his eyes; he'd been killed in an instant. Pointing at the Japanese soldier, he stammered, "You...you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he fell straight backward and lay on the ground, unable to get up.

The wind howled, and snowflakes drifted down slowly.

Looking at Zhou the Butcher's corpse, the crowd felt no fear, but rather an overwhelming surge of anger.

His eyes were fixed on the Japanese.

I wanted to tear him to pieces.

"Haha, the sick man of East Asia, that's all you are. There isn't a single one of you with any guts in Fengtian. Hahaha, killing you is as easy as slaughtering chickens."

"No pressure"

"let me"

A deep voice interrupted the crowd, and a middle-aged man walked toward the Japanese soldier with a cold expression.

Someone exclaimed in surprise, "It's Ding Lianshan, the devil from Guandong!"

"Great, those Japanese are in for a world of trouble."

165. My daughter, Gong Er, will marry you.

Just as Shen Hao and Gong Baosen were about to go, they were stopped by someone.

Upon closer inspection, the visitor turned out to be Ding Lianshan, Gong Baosen's senior apprentice.

Ding Lianshan was the top figure in the Bagua Sect, and his reputation even surpassed that of Gong Baosen.

Gong Baosen asked in confusion, "Senior brother, what are you doing?"

Ding Lianshan ignored him and asked, "Junior brother, do you think it's easier to kill a Japanese ronin, or harder to inherit the sect leadership and bring glory to the sect?"

Gong Baosen thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "It's a bit more difficult to inherit the leadership and bring glory to the sect!"

Hearing his junior brother's words, Ding Lianshan smiled and said to Gong Baosen, "Then let your senior brother do the easy things, and you can handle the more difficult ones!"

You and Commander Shen should not show yourselves.

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Looking at Ding Lianshan's retreating figure, Shen Hao remembered who he was.

Gong Baosen's senior brother is named Ding Lianshan (played by Zhao Benshan), nicknamed the Ghost of Northeast China.

He is also an eighth-level Baguazhang master.

In the movie, he killed a Japanese ronin and hid in the kitchen of Jinlou Restaurant in Foshan, living under an assumed name as a "ghost".

Lighting a cigarette for Ip Man brought up the famous issue of face and substance.

Ding Lianshan's lifelong wish was for his junior brother to uphold the family's honor and carry forward the Bagua School. For this, he was willing to become a cook at Jinlou and a "ghost" unseen by others.

However, in chaotic times, even martial arts masters cannot go against the tide.

In an age of guns and cannons, the decline of the martial arts world is inevitable.

Gong Baosen, who was standing, suddenly knelt down on one knee and said to Shen Hao, "Commander Shen, may I ask you for a favor?"
