Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

Bai Hanfeng, who was next to Mu Jiansheng, turned cold and stood up, replying sharply.

"Xu Tianchuan, do we have to listen to the Heaven and Earth Society on everything? We only temporarily put aside that blood feud from back then if it weren't for Master Wei mediating. Now that a great enemy is at hand, you're all afraid of this and that. I think you might as well go back to your hometown!"

"What did you say?!"

"I'm talking to you!"

Both sides placed their hands on the hilts of their knives, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. The old story of the Heaven and Earth Society killing Bai Hansong was brought up in public, and the people of the Mu family and the leaders of the Heaven and Earth Society argued incessantly.

Chen Jialuo from the Red Flower Society quickly stepped forward to mediate the fight.

"Gentlemen, the enemy is at hand; let's prioritize the greater good!"

Qin Han watched coldly, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. He thought to himself, "With such a limited vision, they still want to revive the Ming Dynasty. No wonder they've been a disorganized mess for so many years."

His fingers, which were tapping the table, suddenly stopped, and he spoke calmly.

"General Yang has dealt with the Qing army on the border for many years. What are your thoughts on this?"

His words provided a way out, and the argument in the room immediately stopped, with everyone's eyes turning to Yang Miaozhen.

Yang Miaozhen slowly stood up, glanced at the people in the room who were arguing heatedly, and remained calm.

"People say that if the Jurchens number less than ten thousand, they are invincible..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wen Tailai, the fourth leader of the Red Flower Society, snorted coldly.

"What's there to be afraid of! If we really go head-to-head, I'll take them all down with one punch each. They're nothing special!"

Yang Miaozhen wasn't angry; she just smiled faintly.

"Who in the martial arts world doesn't know about the Thunderclap Hand of the Fourth Master Wen? Naturally, he's fearless. But the opponent is a massive army charging in formation. One person's bravery is ultimately limited."

Seeing that everyone's expressions had become more serious, she suddenly changed the subject.

"However, the fourth leader of the Wen family is right. That old saying is outdated."

"You all only see the imposing presence of the 100,000-strong army, but you don't know that the Eight Banners have been in the Central Plains for decades. The current Eight Banners soldiers are all indulging in pleasure, spending their days playing with birdcages and other birds. They've long been wasted. If it really came down to open field battles, they might not even be as good as the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry of yesteryear!"

She looked at the people in the hall and spoke with great certainty.

"Among Tu Hai's men, the only ones who can truly fight are his own 50,000 elite troops. The Golden Serpent Camp has the advantage of terrain, and it is not without a chance of winning against 100,000 Qing troops."

After these words were spoken, all the heroes in the hall perked up. Qin Han also showed some approval in his eyes. Yang Miaozhen was able to command a group of people to serve her, which showed that she was indeed capable. She saw through the Qing army's weakness at a glance.

"General Yang is right."

Qin Han nodded slightly, then his eyes turned cold, and he gave instructions to the person beside him.

"Bring it up."

Lin Pingzhi, who was standing to the side, swayed and floated out of the hall. The people in the hall were still surprised by the movements of this masked subordinate. In no time, Lin Pingzhi brought in a middle-aged man in an official robe and casually threw him in the middle of the hall.

The official was deathly pale, his crotch was soaked, and he was trembling uncontrollably, clearly terrified by the methods of the Luo Wang organization.

"Who is this person?"

Chen Jinnan frowned and asked.

Lin Pingzhi's voice was cold and chilling, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Secret envoy from Shengjing, of the Guarjia clan."

The envoy on the ground had been captured by the Luo Wang organization earlier and was already terrified by their methods. Now, seeing that everyone around him was a rebel against the Qing dynasty, he was so frightened that he almost wet himself.

"I...I confess everything! It was Prince Fukang'an, the son of Prince Rui Hongli. He has secretly arrived at the Yanzhou post station and is secretly monitoring Tuhai's army on Prince Rui's orders. If Tuhai wins, he will share the credit; if Tuhai loses, he will seize power and reap the benefits!"

The people in the room looked at each other in bewilderment. Chen Jialuo glanced at Qin Han without leaving a trace, realizing that the other party had already made up his mind.

"The internal strife within the Qing court was so fierce?"

Qin Han smiled faintly, not finding it strange. The power struggle between the faction in Shengjing and Emperor Kangxi in the Forbidden City was an old problem for the Qing court. He reached into his robes, took out a prepared bright yellow secret letter, and threw it on the table.

"This is an imperial edict forged in imitation of Emperor Kangxi's handwriting and the imperial seal. The letter accuses Prince Rui, Hongli, of plotting a rebellion and secretly colluding with remnants of the Ming dynasty. It orders the removal of his banner status and commands Tuhai to eliminate all of his cronies planted in Shandong."

Everyone was shocked when these words were spoken.

As the leader of the cult, Chen Jinnan immediately realized what was happening.

"A brilliant plan! Shandong has always been a territory secretly cultivated by Hongli. Kangxi and his elder brother appear to be on good terms, but they have long harbored conflicts in secret. If this secret letter falls into the hands of his son Fukang'an..."

"Fukang'an must be both shocked and terrified. To protect himself, he will absolutely not let Tuhai win this battle so easily!"

Qin Han's gaze turned to the corner at the back of the hall.

"Little Fish, Jiang Yulang."

The two people who were hiding behind the pillar watching the commotion shuddered and slowly moved out with long faces.

"Your Highness...is there something else you wish to instruct us on?"

Little Fish scratched the back of his head, looking helpless.

Qin Han looked at the two of them with a half-smile.

"You disguised yourselves as the previous Blood Droplets and delivered this secret letter to Fukang'an's desk. You succeeded in this task and will be highly commended."

Jiang Yulang's lips twitched. He thought to himself, "The great achievement he promised last time is still nowhere in sight, and now he's already making up another promise. This prince really knows how to make empty promises..."

But when they met Qin Han's gaze, neither of them dared to say a word. Xiao Yu'er stuffed the letter into her bosom and forced a fawning smile.

"Your Highness, please rest assured. We are professionals at sowing discord and secretly sabotaging others."

"In addition," Qin Han summoned the steward of the Sihai Trading Company.

"Transfer thirty chests of gold from the private treasury and send them to Yanzhou as a deposit. Tell the people from Shengjing that as long as they set fire to the military rations behind Tuhai, the Golden Snake Camp will not harm Prince Rui's goods in the future."

The way people in the hall looked at Qin Han completely changed. This was no longer a bandit leader; he was clearly a powerful and ruthless tycoon with extraordinary abilities.

Chen Jinnan hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and asked.

"Your Highness, can the handwriting and seal on this letter really fool a nobleman like Fukang'an?"

Qin Han's expression remained calm.

"I've intercepted several imperial edicts before, and I've figured out the imperial seal and the secret marks inside, enough to pass for the real thing."

Jiao Wan'er, Rong Cai, and others from the Golden Snake Camp chimed in, while Bai Hanfeng sneered and glanced at the members of the Heaven and Earth Society.

"Chief Chen underestimates Lord Ye's abilities."

Chen Jinnan could only smile wryly. They were indeed in the wrong about Bai Hansong's matter back then, so he didn't argue with him any further.

Qin Han stood up and scanned Yang Miaozhen, Chen Jialuo, and the leaders of various sects from top to bottom.

"Do any of you have any objections to this battle?"

"war!"

Yang Miaozhen's tone was very firm.

"All the brothers of the Red Flower Society will obey Brother Ye's orders!"

Chen Jialuo looked serious.

"The Heaven and Earth Society is at Your Highness's command!"

Chen Jinnan bowed and accepted the order.

Qin Han immediately drew his Golden Serpent Sword, and with a flash of light, he loudly announced his strategy!

"Then let's fight the Manchu Eight Banners to the death!"

"The Qing army was said to number 100,000, but in reality it was divided into four routes."

Qin Han walked to the hanging topographic map and spoke in a deep voice.

"Tu Hai is leading 50,000 main troops deep into enemy territory. If Fukang'an falls for the trap and cuts off his supplies, Shengjing will definitely not send troops to rescue him. This is an opportunity given by heaven!"

At this point, Qin Han's eyes hardened. "I will ensure the complete annihilation of Kangxi's 100,000-strong army!"

The surrounding heroes were both terrified and excited. If they could really wipe out an army of 100,000 in one fell swoop, they, who had come to help, would also become famous.

Qin Han had a clear idea of ​​what to do and quickly assigned tasks.

"Jiao Wan'er, Rong Cai, Cheng Qingzhu, Situ Bolei, you lead your troops to harass the other three Qing armies and slow down their encirclement."

"Yes, sir!"

He then looked at Chen Jialuo.

"We urge all the leaders of the Red Flower Society to help us, and make sure to hold back the Qing army's detachment at all costs."

Chen Jialuo clasped his hands in agreement.

"We will certainly live up to our mission."

"Ajiu, Long'er, you will lead the two battalions of elite troops to stay at the main camp and provide support to all sides at any time."

The two women nodded in unison.

Finally, Qin Han's gaze fell on Yang Miaozhen.

"I have a dangerous mission on my hands, I wonder if General Yang dares to take it."

Yang Miaozhen raised an eyebrow and slammed her spear into the ground with a crisp clang.

"Your Highness, there's no need to provoke me. Just give the order. There are no cowards in my Red Turban Army."
