Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 71 Visiting the Gao Family
A few days later, in Fusong County.

"arrive."

Gao Qing pointed to the small county town in front of him.

"That is where my Gao family now resides."

Zhao Zhen looked up at the somewhat desolate small county town in front of him, and then at the mountains behind it.

"Is that Changbai Mountain over there? Brother Gao, I visited your Gao family several years ago. I remember your clan's territory wasn't here then, was it?"

"Yeah, we had no choice..."

Gao Qing nodded, and then explained to Zhao Zhen, "Ever since the Japanese occupied the three northeastern provinces, our Gao family has been resisting the invasion of these little devils."

As you know, the Gao family suffered fierce retaliation from the Japanese invaders. Left with no other choice, the clan chief led all the clan members to migrate to Fusong County.

Fusong County is located in a remote area, at the foot of Changbai Mountain, and backed by Changbai Mountain. Even if the Japanese send troops to encircle and suppress us, we can simply go into the mountains and fight a guerrilla war against them.

To be honest, it might be a bit shameless, but in the city I probably wouldn't be a match for those Japanese devils with knives. But if we got to the mountains… hehe!

"Haha, then of course I believe in Brother Gao's abilities."

Zhao Zhen laughed heartily. He wasn't flattering Gao Qing; Gao Qing genuinely had the right to boast like that.

Changbai Mountain, I think, is the place where Liu Kunsheng, the "snake spirit" on Gao Qing's body, performed his ritual.

The abilities of shamans in Northeast China go far beyond simply summoning spirits to possess them. According to what Zhao Zhen had heard, some shamans can even communicate with animals.

As Liu Kunsheng's training ground, Changbai Mountain can be said to have provided Gao Qing with countless helpers.

Adding to the advantage of the terrain, if the fight really took place inside, Eita might not be able to walk out alive!

"Haha, Brother Zhao, you're the one who understands me best. Come on, let's go inside. I'll have to treat you to a good meal when we get home."

Gao Qing laughed heartily, then warmly took Zhao Zhen's hand and walked towards the county town gate.

"Dad, Little Tiger, I'm back!"

Before they even reached the gate, Gao Qing started shouting at the top of his lungs.

"That voice...it's Brother Qing!"

"It really is!"

"Where has that damn thing been all these days?!"

……

After he finished yelling, a group of Gao family members ran out of the gate.

"Tiger, Aunt Cui, everyone, I'm back!"

Gao Qing laughed heartily and rushed forward to give his people a big hug!
boom!
Just as Gao Qing was getting excited, a sudden slap brought him back to reality.

"You brat, I told you not to run off on your own, but you wouldn't listen. Do you really think I wouldn't dare break your legs?"

A middle-aged man with a livid face suddenly blocked the way. It was clear that he was the one who had slapped Gao Qing earlier.

I had met this middle-aged man, Zhao Zhen, once before when he visited the Gao family. His name was Gao Yuan, the head of the Gao family.

"Father... I was wrong. I shouldn't have run away secretly without telling you, but I'm back safe and sound now, aren't I?"

Gao Qing, lying on the ground, covered his face with a wronged expression. At this moment, this nearly 1.9-meter-tall Northeastern man looked exactly like a bullied little wife.

"Peaceful my foot! You really have the nerve to say that! If it weren't for Zhao Zhen saving you, you would have been dead in the city long ago!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

I and Gao Qing had been fleeing the Japanese devils all the way south, barely daring to stop. Even if news traveled fast, it shouldn't have been this fast, right? Besides, how could Gao Qing's father, Gao Yuan, know that I was the one who saved Gao Qing?

Just as Zhao Zhen was beginning to have doubts, Gao Yuan glared fiercely at Gao Qing.

"I'll deal with you later!"

After saying that, Gao Yuan smiled and clasped his hands as he walked toward Zhao Zhen.

"Young friend Zhao, it's been a long time since we last met at the Lu family's birthday banquet."

"Greetings, Patriarch Gao," Zhao Zhen said, bowing with clasped hands.

"Young friend Zhao, there's no need for such formalities. Your destruction of the Yuntai Hotel has dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese high command, which is truly gratifying!"

Gao Yuan smiled and waved his hand.

"Speaking of which, it should be our Gao family who apologizes to young friend Zhao, because Gao Qing's recklessness almost ruined your plans."

If this plan fails because of my son's actions that alerted the enemy, then my Gao family will be guilty of a sin.

Upon hearing this, a look of shame flashed across Gao Qing's face.

He then understood why his father was so angry. On one hand, he was angry that he had ignored his family's advice and gone to Shenyang to die on his own.

On the other hand, he's probably angry that he almost messed up something important!
"Patriarch Gao, you flatter me. Brother Gao did not affect my plan. On the contrary, if it weren't for Brother Gao's unexpected act of drawing away those guards for me, I'm afraid I would have had a hard time succeeding."

Gao Yuan shook his head. He had seen the contest between Zhao Zhen and Zhang Zhiwei at the Lu family's birthday banquet, so he naturally understood how powerful Zhao Zhen's Golden Escape Flowing Light was.

“Young friend Zhao, my Gao family is not one to seek fame and fortune. One is one, and two is two. You don’t need to speak up for this brat.”

I've already heard about everything that's happened in Shenyang from Uncle Kunsheng.

"Considering he only broke three fingers this time, I won't punish him too severely. It'll be a lesson for him!"

"So it was because of Liu Kunsheng... No wonder the news spread so quickly." A look of understanding flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes.

"Thank you, Father! Thank you, Father!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Qing was overjoyed and grinned so wide his mouth almost reached the back of his head.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh! Look at you, so spineless! If you were even half as capable as Zhao Zhen, your father would go burn incense for my Gao family ancestors right now!"

Gao Yuan said with a look of disappointment.

“Father, look at what you’re saying. Brother Zhao is a dragon among men. How can I compare to him?”
Besides, I've already brought them back, haven't I? You can let my brothers learn from Brother Zhao first!

Gao Qing chuckled, then ran far away before Gao Yuan could get angry.

"That brat, sigh, he'll never grow up..."

Seeing this, Gao Yuan also let out a long sigh.

"Patriarch Gao, Brother Gao has a pure heart and his cultivation is also quite strong, which is truly commendable."

"A childlike heart... Hehe, if it were in a peaceful era, such a heart would certainly not be a problem."

But he was born into this chaotic world, a world where people prey on each other. If he continued to maintain this kind of mentality, he would eventually ruin himself.

After saying that, Gao Yuan shook his head and then gestured for Zhao Zhen to proceed.

"Young friend Zhao, you've come from afar, please come in for a chat?"

"Master Gao, you're too kind. Please!"
