Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 399: A Strange Person in Bashu

Seeing that the situation in Jinlou was at a stalemate and a group of unknown people coming from outside, the guys who were raiding the place no longer cared about the rules of the underworld. Several accountants pulled out the foreign guns hidden under the counter and were ready to join forces with the teapots, gossipy ladies and other people to capture the group of people from southern Yunnan.

"Brother, they have guns!"

"Retreat first, and wait until the little darlings show their power before dealing with them!"

The Five Saints of Southern Yunnan had a quick conversation for a few words, then immediately let go of the three Hung Gar martial artists whose faces were blue and purple and whose lips were swollen, and leaped towards the houses beside the street to temporarily avoid the attack.

Bang bang bang bang!
At the critical moment, when the five men were about to flee in all directions, two white and tender hands holding huge revolvers suddenly appeared on the shoulders of the Iron Horse Knight. The trigger was pulled, and the gun flames exploded into countless sparks that fell down.

"Idiot, I've been on guard against you!"

Ever since they saw the Western iron horses coming down the street, the Five Saints of Southern Yunnan had guessed what the newcomers were up to. When they saw the gun pointed at them, their pupils shrank at the same time, and they moved sideways and up and down, weaving through the arcs of fire like a flash of lightning, brushing past the hot bullets, and were about to escape.

"Humph!"

A delicate cry rang in the ears of everyone, like the roar of a dragon, and the continuous rain between heaven and earth seemed to suddenly come to life, condensing and changing into whale sharks, clams, shrimps and crabs, a giant seal that destroyed an island, an ancient sea-swallowing Kun, and finally transformed into five water dragons with detailed scales, each biting the Five Saints of Southern Yunnan who thought they had escaped.

"The Five Saints rotate!"

Faced with such magical means, the five people's eyes were wide open, their wooden and cold expressions were distorted wildly, and the vital energy in their bodies was surging. As soon as the colorful insect shapes were condensed, before they could combine their power, they were bitten to pieces by the water dragon that suddenly flew over. Like a shadow passing by, the water dragon exploded into raindrops all over the sky, falling to the ground, as if it had never appeared.

And those five people, with the remaining momentum, crashed into the eaves of the house and the ridges of the dark-tiled walls, like kites with broken strings, falling to the ground helplessly, and turned into a pool of blood and mud.

When everyone looked closely, they found that the five people were crushed to death by the flashing rain dragons in just a blink of an eye, and their bones were broken.

The waiter at the Jinlou who had originally rushed out of the door to chase after him was so frightened when he saw this that he immediately put down his gun and said loudly:
"I wonder if any female warrior would come to our aid when seeing this injustice? Please come in quickly and drink some hot tea to avoid the cold rain!"

"Okay, it's me, your boss, come over and give me a hand."

The motorcycle swung in a beautiful arc, and two riders in strange "raincoats" jumped off from it. The one with a graceful posture was playing with the revolver out of boredom, while the tall and strong one waved his hand and sent out three rays of light, which fell on the three Hung Gar masters who were poisoned by the Five Saints and looked ugly.

"Boss? Master Wu? No, you...you are Master Qin!"

The guy with a good memory recognized Qin Huai's voice, and without saying a word, he immediately followed his companions and carried the three Hung Gar masters lying in the water back to the Jinlou.

"That hand just now was very handsome."

While praising Ao Ling, Qin Huai took off his black temperature-controlled raincoat and casually draped it over the motorcycle.

"Hehe, it's just that my shooting skills still need practice."

Ao Ling patted the twin guns in her hands and put them back into her waist while she withdrew her gaze from the Five Saints of Southern Yunnan who were able to avoid her gun line.

Although the five of them were not as skilled as masters in boxing, kicking and weapons, they were fierce and fierce, and they had the help of mixed poisons that were hard to guard against. Ordinary martial artists were no match for them. If Qin Huai had not returned to Jinlou tonight and rescued them in time, the three poisoned Hong Quan masters would have had to go to Qingqiao Mountain to suffer more.

When I entered the building, I saw that business was still booming, as if the interest was not ruined at all by the few thieves outside the building.

Most of the people in the building were from all walks of life, and most of them had seen the scene happening outside. When they saw Qin Huai and Ao Ling coming in, they immediately focused their ardent gazes on the beauty who had just displayed her miraculous abilities.

Ao Ling could sense all kinds of thoughts in the various gazes and frowned slightly.

"If you don't want to be poked, close your eyes. If you dare to look again, you will all be kicked out and join those poisonous insects."

Upon hearing this, those people with dirty thoughts immediately fell silent and retreated back to the private rooms, no longer joining in this deadly fun.

Ignoring the crowd downstairs, Qin Huai followed the accountant to Li Bingwu's room.

"Old Ji, didn't Uncle Wu leave anything behind before he left?"

Qin Huai looked around the room with ordinary decorations and turned to ask the accountant who had been working under Li Bingwu since the establishment of Jinlou.

"No, Master Wu left in a hurry. I only know that he was going to Bashu to meet some friends, saying that they might be able to save Master Xiang's life. Then, Master Wu took Miss Xiang and Master Xiang away."

"Oh? Did he tell me the names of those friends?"

Qin Huai sat on the round stool and thought of a key point.

"No, Master Wu has a lot of secrets. He usually doesn't tell us anything too important."

"Then find all the letters Uncle Wu has collected over the years, and don't miss any of them."

Qin Huai thought for a moment, and then said, "Also inform all the branches in various places and offer a reward. Tell them that I'm back and I'm looking for Hongying and Uncle Wu. Ask them to report the news to the nearest Jinlou as soon as they hear the news."

"Yes."

Soon, Old Ji found all the letters that Li Bingwu had kept over the years. Most of them were daily letters chatting with relatives, friends, and brothers about family matters. There was not a single confidential letter. It was presumed that they had all been burned.

Qin Huai read the letters one by one, as if he was experiencing Li Bingwu's joys and sorrows over the years.

"Brother, you said that Xiao Qin has been gone for such a long time and didn't even write a letter back. Next time you write to him, you must talk to him nicely. I used to be the bad guy, but this kid doesn't listen to me."

"Old Du, I heard that you have become a master? Congratulations. I have also found the key to practicing Qi recently. I think I am almost there."

"Brother Yu, tell Master Shan that the old demon queen is finished. He can come out of that little shop in Hong Kong Island and return to Shenzhou."

Outside the Golden Building, the rain was as soft and thin as a strand of silk, with a hint of the lingering winter chill. Qin Huai read the letter in the slow candlelight. The light reflected on him like a bronze statue with its head bowed reciting scriptures.

An unknown amount of time had passed, until the bored Ao Ling had dealt with all the poisonous insects that the Five Saints of Southern Yunnan had spread into the Golden Tower. Qin Huai finally finished reading the piles of letters, exhaled lightly, dipped his hands in tea, and wrote three names on the table.

The hero of the north and south, Du Xinwu.

Taoist Priest of Qingyang Palace, Xiang Tianli.

A great shaman from Liangshan, very romantic.

"Uncle Wu has a wide range of friends, so it's hard to determine who he is going to see this time, but among the relatives and friends related to the Bashu region, these three people appear most frequently." Qin Huai came to his senses, looked through the half-closed green window at the rain that had stopped, and looked at Ao Ling who was brewing hot tea with his bare hands. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's go to Liangshan first and ask for news. If there is no gain, then go north along the road to Chengdu, Bashan and Dazhou."

After finalizing the itinerary, early the next morning, Qin Huai left a few emergency talismans for Jin Lou, then set off on bicycles with Ao Ling, hurriedly heading northwest.
-
In the capital, Huiyou Escort Agency.

"Earlier, Qin Xiaoyou sent me a visiting card, saying that he wanted to come to the court to tell me a story. I thought it would take some time, after the first month of the lunar year. But I didn't expect Qin Xiaoyou to be so decisive and come to visit so soon. He was really quick!"

The old man with gray hair looked at Qin Huai sitting opposite him, smiled, and continued: "I wonder if you have any opponents in mind when you come to Huiyou Escort Agency for closed-door sparring?"

"Of course. When I was in Tianjin, I heard that Senior Brother Li Yaochen was very skilled in using the Eight Immortal Swords. He even received a reward and earned a [Changhong Sword] from the Queen Mother. I came here today and wanted to experience Senior Brother Li's skills first."

Qin Huai went straight to the point and immediately pointed at a tall and thin young man standing in the hall with a gleam in his eyes.

"Okay, Junior Brother Qin, let's stop here."

Li Yaochen nodded slightly and walked forward, holding in his hand the [Changhong Sword] that could cut through iron like mud.

Qin Huai looked at Li Yaochen, who was known as the "King of Escorts" in later generations. Although it was a pity that he could not learn his original Wuji Sword due to the wrong timing, he did not think much about it and jumped into the ring with the [Smashing Cloud Sword].

"Eight extremes, Qinhuai."

"Three Emperors Cannon Strike, Li Yaochen."

Both sides said in unison: "Please!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yaochen drew his sword from its sheath. The long sword made a clanging sound, and three sword lights zigzag and chopped down, with a bit of cold edge heading straight for Qin Huai's brow!

So fast!

But someone is faster than him!
Qin Huai's strength in his hands increased suddenly, and his sword was swung with great force. The [Broken Cloud Sword] swirled into a sea of ​​sword flowers, and while he chopped the sword light into sparks all over the sky, he also picked up the long rainbow piercing the sun that was piercing his forehead.

Seeing the [Cloud-Breaking Blade] that had easily deflected the [Changhong Sword] and was heading towards his throat, Li Yaochen was not in a hurry. He changed his sword stance, and rotated his wrist left and right along with Qin Huai's force. His waist twisted synchronously, and his whole body moved with it!

Chi!
The [Changhong Sword] flew out in just a moment, then drew an arc and rushed out from the lower left, deflecting the [Smashing Cloud Blade] and then spun rapidly like a drill, with the sword tip emitting pieces of silver light.

Eight Immortals Sword, Zhongli Fan!

"Baguazhang?"

Qin Huai savored the taste of this sword-spinning technique, which was exactly the same as the palm-spinning power of Baguazhang. He wanted to use it to steal the knife in his hand!

"it is good!"

Qin Huai retreated an inch and put away his sword, dodging the rolling long rainbow in Li Yaochen's hand with perfect ease!
At the same time as the force changed, Li Yaochen actually responded at the same time, and the [Changhong Sword] actually pulled down along the midline of Qin Huai's body!
Eight Immortal Swords, Immortal lifting his clothes!

"He actually integrated the power of the cannon punch into his swordsmanship. What a talent!"

Facing this belly-ripping, ferocious stabbing sword, Qin Huai slid on the ground with his feet, and moved his body sideways a foot as if teleporting. While avoiding the sharp edge, he shook the sword and chopped at Li Yaochen's wide-open head and face.

The force is as strong as thunder, the sword moves like a dragon and a snake, the silver python strikes the air, and kills in all directions!
Facing Qin Huai's sword attack with a knife, Li Yaochen closed his eyes inconceivably, exerted force with his toes, stepped forward and shook his wrist, and the sword blocked Qin Huai's blade without any error. He turned his wrist, pressed down Suiyun, and pointed the sword with his wrist, and a cold light pierced his heart!
Eight Immortals Sword, Dongbin Carrying Sword!

"Rescuing the killing and still killing?"

Feeling the sword intent emanating from Li Yaochen's body, Qin Huai's eyes flashed with a bright light. Instead of retreating, he moved forward. The tip of the sword emerged from behind him, but strangely, there was no blood at all.

"Oh no, the stab went in vain."

Li Yaochen realized that the feeling in his hand was not right, and immediately planned to move forward, but Qin Huai had already rushed to him, and his armpits tightened, immediately clamping his right hand holding the hilt of the sword so that he could not move.

The next moment, Qin Huai's Broken Cloud Sword had already reached Li Yaochen's neck.

"Thank you. I hope that after you become a Grandmaster, we can have another match."

"Thank you, Junior Brother. I'm grateful for your advice."

Qin Huai relaxed his shoulders and put away his sword. Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, he clasped his fists to the old man sitting at the head of the table and said, "Senior Yu, it's our turn."

"Aren't you afraid that Yao Chen's sword really pierced your heart because you missed the target just now?"

Yu Jingtang was still thinking about Qin Huai's last response. In his opinion, Qin Huai's move was too dangerous. Although the armpit clamping was very effective, if it was slightly off, a transparent hole would be poked in Qin Huai's heart!

"If you have courage in your heart, you will be confident in your hands. If you are afraid of this and that, you will not achieve much in your life."

Qin Huai put the sword back into the sheath and threw it back to Wu Shan who was waiting in the audience, then looked at Yu Jingtang and said loudly.

"Okay, then I will see how much of my fellow minister's inheritance Qin Xiaoyou has obtained."

After Yu Jingtang waved his hand and ordered all the outsiders to leave, he climbed onto the stage and clasped his fists towards Qin Huai.

"please!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Huai stomped the ground with his left foot, rushed forward like a tiger, and landed with his right foot, shaking the ground so much that the arena shook three times.

Baji, stomp your feet and shake the nine provinces!

When Yu Jingtang saw Qin Huai's shaking hands, splitting fists and stepping forward with his legs and stomping his feet in one smooth and harmonious whole, without any distinction between the two, he knew that the boy in front of him was at least a master.

"Well done!"

Facing Qin Huai's fierce chopping fist that was as powerful as a tiger leaping across a stream, Yu Jingtang mobilized his Yuan Qi, his legs swelled, his feet, knees, and hips lifted like a standard, and he landed with a golden hook into the ground, and managed to defend his lower body under the threat of the fierce and unparalleled Baji stomping! Then he exerted his strength, stepped forward, twisted his waist, and his two arms spun at high speed like meteor hammers, smashing at Qin Huai's approaching right fist with a rotational force that was enough to split mountains and rocks!
Three Emperors’ Cannon Clash, embracing Tai Chi!
Foot against foot, fist against fist!
Bang!
The two fists collided and the two figures stopped at the same time!
But Yu Jingtang did not stop attacking. He turned his wrist, changed his fist into a claw, and grabbed Qin Huai's wrist. At the same time, he pushed the ground with his left foot to gain leverage. The strength was transmitted from his waist to his shoulders, elbows and claws, and his Yuan Qi was swallowed and exhaled!
Qin Huai's eyes lit up, and he changed his fist into a palm. With inch-long force bursting out, the edge of his palm faced the sharp edge of the eagle claw!

Yu Jingtang had just fought a hard fight with Qin Huai, and knew that this kid had a strange kind of Qi in his hands. It would not be worthwhile for him to fight head-on, so he immediately lowered his shoulders, dropped his elbows, clasped his arms, temporarily avoided the attack with his eagle claws, clasped his hands together as if bowing, and leaped out in one leap. His lean body burst out with a mighty force that soared into the sky, and his clasped hands were like a tiger claw with sharp teeth open!

The three emperors fired their weapons, and the Master bowed!
