Martial Arts Across the Heavens: Becoming a Martial God Starting from the Big Boss in Tangshan

Chapter 155 I'm not a god, and neither are you.

Nalan Yuanshu was completely stunned. He never expected that Chen Wen would volunteer to fight the Blood Flag Army.

He was about to refuse when his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly started to make a plan.

That's right! It's perfect to send this newly formed Jing'an Battalion to do some work!

Firstly, it would test the mettle and loyalty of those former Black Flag Army members, to see if they were truly capable fighters, and also to see if they were obedient.

Secondly, it would be best to let the Blood Flag Army and the Jing'an Camp fight to the death.

In particular, let more of those Black Flag Army veterans die.

In this way, he could legitimately take complete control of the Jing'an Camp and replace it with his own people.

This not only eliminated a potential threat to the imperial court, but also expanded its own power—a win-win situation!

A smile of approval spread across his face as he patted Chen Wen on the shoulder: "Good! Brother Chen is indeed commendable for his loyalty and courage!"

"Since you are so determined, then I entrust the task of wiping out the Blood Flag Army, this band of pirates, to your Jing'an Battalion!"

"Tell me what supplies, ships, or weapons you need, and I'll do my best to provide them!"

"If we don't have enough manpower, then let's unleash our full potential!"

"We must demonstrate the might of our Jing'an Battalion and rid the court of this scourge!"

Huang Feihong, who was listening nearby, was stunned and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Good heavens! They let them fight each other, and the imperial court even provides them with money, food, and equipment?

This is a huge bargain!

He couldn't help himself and burst out laughing.

Nalan Yuanshu frowned and looked at him: "Master Huang, what are you laughing at?"

Huang Feihong's heart tightened, and he quickly suppressed his smile, replacing it with a gritted-teeth expression. He clasped his hands and said, "My lord, please forgive me! The thought of finally being able to take revenge myself has stirred my heart with overwhelming emotion!"

"On behalf of my fallen brothers, I thank you, sir, for giving us this opportunity!"

These words were spoken with genuine feeling, and not entirely feigned; it was just that the target and method of revenge were completely different from what Nalan Yuanshu had envisioned.

Nalan Yuanshu nodded in satisfaction: "Your good work is the best way to repay me."

"By the way, today's business is done. It's still chaotic outside, so you should all go back and rest."

"If you encounter that Sun Yat-sen again, be sure to tell me immediately! Capturing him will be a great achievement! I promise you, I will definitely recommend you for a promotion!"

Chen Wen immediately showed a look of surprise and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, sir! I definitely will!"

Before long, Chen Wen and Huang Feihong had already left the venue.

Huang Feihong finally breathed a long sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "Brother Chen, we've caused such a big commotion, killing foreign officials, beheading admirals, massacring the city of Mantou, and turning the seas upside down, but in their eyes we're still just small-time pirates who can't even be considered respectable."

"6

"This feeling is truly—"

Chen Wen glanced at him and laughed, "What, Brother Huang, do you still care about this empty title?"

-

"No, that's not it!" Wong Fei-hung quickly waved his hand. "I don't seek fame or fortune, I just want to save more people. I'm just feeling a bit sentimental."

"That's right." Chen Wen nodded. "Don't think about those useless things. The current situation is actually a great thing for us."

"Go back and immediately send a telegram to Shi Rong. Tell him to prepare a batch of pirate corpses."

"These are all achievements from our bandit suppression and crushing of the Blood Flag Army! We can use them to report back to Nalan Yuanshu and exchange them for his gold, silver, and equipment!"

Upon hearing this, Wong Fei-hung couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Chen, I'm genuinely curious now."

"If one day, this Commander of the Nine Gates learns the truth, what expression will his face have?"

Chen Wen imagined the scene for a moment, and a smile appeared on his lips: "I don't know what expression I'll make, but I'll definitely be smiling."

Huang Feihong shook his head with a smile, then sighed with emotion.

It's no wonder Nalan Yuanshu was foolish.

After all, who could have imagined that a world-renowned physician, who possessed mountains of gold and silver, would be treated as an honored guest by the imperial court and even be considered for the position of imperial physician?

It turns out to be the leader of the Blood Flag Army who killed officials and rebelled, and was hated by the imperial court to the bone.

Instead of enjoying immense wealth and a stable life, they chose to engage in this risky business that could cost them their lives.

There are probably very few people in this world who can do that.

Huang Feihong turned to look at Chen Wen, his admiration growing stronger. It was precisely because of this that he was even more convinced that he had followed the right person.

"Oh, right," Wong Fei-hung said seriously, remembering something, "Brother Chen, should we lend Mr. Sun a hand?"

"Of course we'll help," Chen Wen nodded.

"Send the batch of medicine that Nalan Yuanshu requested to Mr. Sun and the others."

"Also, have our men ready to provide support during their evacuation!"

Wong Fei-hung was taken aback: "Standing up? Providing backup? Brother Chen, are you saying that Mr. Sun and his men will fail this time? You don't think their uprising will succeed?"

Chen Wen sighed, his tone heavy: "They chose the wrong place. If they had launched a sudden attack in a small town or city where defenses were lax, they might have had a better chance of success."

"But this is Guangcheng, the provincial capital, the largest city in Lingnan!"

"A large force has been assembled here, the largest Manchu city is right here! How many people do they have? How many guns? How well are they trained? The disparity in strength is too great."

Therefore, their uprising is doomed to fail.

"What we can do now is not to fantasize about their success, but to prepare to rescue as many people as possible if they fail."

Huang Feihong became anxious: "Can we stop them in advance? Tell them not to be so impulsive, to go somewhere else, or to prepare again?"

""

Chen Wen suddenly turned his head and looked at Huang Feihong with a half-smile: "Brother Huang, do you mean you want them to take our orders?"

Huang Feihong was stunned when he heard this statement.

Yes, the other party is not one's subordinate. They have only just met. They may share similar ideas, but how can they easily follow the orders of outsiders in terms of specific actions?

If we rashly try to stop them, it might arouse suspicion and resentment from the other party, making them think that they have ulterior motives.

He sighed helplessly, feeling a sense of frustration: "Are we just supposed to watch them go and die?"

"We've done everything we can." Chen Wen shook his head slightly. "We've given them the medicine they urgently need, provided weapons if necessary, and arranged for their escape route."

"This is the best we can do right now. Revolution is not a dinner party; it is always accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice."

"I'm not a god, and neither are you. We can't save everyone, and don't even think about becoming a god!"

Huang Feihong remained silent for a long time before slowly nodding: "I understand."

"Brother Chen, so—is this Mr. Sun a good person or a bad person? I mean, what is he like as a person—"

Chen Wen paused slightly, seemingly not expecting him to ask that question.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Well, I'm not really qualified to judge him."

"However, those I trust have a very high opinion of him. Therefore, I am willing to help him."

Huang Feihong was startled.

Extremely high praise? From those whom Chen Wen trusted?

Although he didn't know exactly who those people were, he had long been convinced of Chen Wen's insight and judgment.

For Chen Wen to value him so highly, even to the point of saying he was unqualified to comment, this Mr. Sun must be even more extraordinary than he imagined.

"Brother Chen, what should we do next?"

A cold smile appeared on Chen Wen's face.

"These White Lotus Cult members are causing all sorts of trouble; it's time to deal with them!"
