He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

"General"

Leyou whispered something to General Zhang and then stood aside without saying a word.

General Zhang glanced at Leyou but remained silent.

After a while,

"You're still young. I saw it too, but don't blame them. You were indeed ruthless."

Human nature is complex; it's something we must explore throughout our lives.

You don't know, back then some of my men rebelled behind my back...

Leyou looked up and stopped talking, while the general, lost in his memories, also remained silent.

"Hey, there was a telegram this morning. You need to leave Hongxianglu Port to carry out a secret order, and I'll vouch for you for the matter the Military Intelligence Bureau mentioned about colluding with foreign parties."

"We'll be heading north soon too; Commander Li of the Eighth Army is already on his way,"

"You did a good job this time, I'll give you one-third of it."

"Thank you, General, but could I delay my departure by a few days? I'd like to take care of things at Kowloon Walled City first."

"Okay, you need to go see their governor later and sign the agreement, otherwise things will get complicated later."

Le You nodded, said goodbye, and walked down from the stands toward Ma Peng.

The guard company below followed closely behind.

"Pan Gui, when they come back from training tonight, have Chen Si, Sai Zhou, and Bao Qiang come over."

"Okay, big brother."

"Let's go back"

After mounting his horse, Leyou cracked his whip and galloped towards the camp.

Pan Gui and the others also exerted all their strength, running with their heads down, only to end up eating dust in their wake.

We're off!

Just then, a playful shout came from behind.

The guards looked up and back.

The cavalry company commander led a large group of cavalrymen in a galloping direction in which Le You had gone.

"Damn it, I'll fucking kill you!"

"I must get a motorcycle, and the whole company should have one."

……

"Big Brother"

"Big Brother"

Leyou looked at the crowd in front of him and nodded, saying:

"We'll be leaving in a few more days, but before I leave, I want Kowloon Walled City to be demolished, rebuilt, and have a city wall erected around its outermost perimeter."

If there are any dissent within the village, Chen Si, you take all your men and kill them all. Take two battalions, plus an artillery company, and take them with you.

Sai Zhou, have Invincible take people to register the population's place of origin, etc.

Take your men to the logistics department to replenish ammunition, then tell Changshou Fugui to wait for me in the square.

"Leopard Qiang, you take your men over there. If they're your own people, you go and persuade them. If they don't listen, then leave them alone and take them in later."

Leyou looked at the several childish faces in front of him and couldn't help but chuckle.

The journey from a young man to a mature man requires arduous trials and tribulations.

Sometimes, just being born as a human being really makes me feel sorry.

"Go quickly, get it done tonight, I need to start cleaning tomorrow."

The group then took their leave and began to assemble their forces.

Leyou took a bottle of foreign liquor from the small cabinet beside the bed.

"Gurgle"

"Gurgle"

He drank half a bottle in one gulp.

"I could understand if that corrupt official was afraid of me; after all, I would have killed that beast."

"But I'm avenging you, and you despise me."

"hehe,"

"Some people will be grateful and repay you if you treat them well."

"There are some people you can't be nice to no matter what, it's just like that old saying:"

Even if a good person has done good deeds their whole life, if they suddenly do something bad, people will say that this person is no good, too bad, and that they were just pretending all along.

"If a bad person does bad things their whole life and then only does one good thing, a large group of people will say that he has turned over a new leaf, that he can still be saved, and that he wasn't a bad person."

Leyou unconsciously touched his missing ear, his eyes slowly starting to wander...

……

"Hurry up!"

"Hurry up!"

As Pan Gui continued to shout to the battalion commander and company commanders in front of him, the troops began to assemble.

Jiang Xiaomei also gathered all the tank crew members, opened the front hatch of the tank, and went inside.

Silang also led his men to ignite and activate the land network.

As Pan Gui and four other guards rode their motorcycles out of the camp,

The battalion commanders of the first and second battalions quickly assembled their troops, carrying machine guns, and followed the motorcycle company on a forced march.

……

Kowloon Walled City Loyalty Hall

"Boss, listen to me. My elder brother has already sent troops over. From now on, he'll be in charge of the village."

Leopard Qiang knelt on the ground, pleading with an old man with a full head of white hair.

The old man looked at the boy before him with hesitation.

"Brother, if you're scared, you can leave."

"We members of the Heaven and Earth Society are not afraid; at worst, we'll fight them to the death!"

The old man glanced at him sideways and said coldly:

"In the past, we asked you to go overseas with the majority, but you refused."

They insist on coming to oppose us. After all these years, to put it bluntly, we're old. What is there left for us to hold onto?

"You may not know who Leopard Strong's older brother is, but you should have heard of him: Leyou from the Independent Regiment."

Upon hearing the name, the elderly man with graying hair standing nearby immediately calmed down from his angry expression.

"this,……

this……"

The bigwig from Leopard Strong continued:

"First, gather the brothers and have them disperse the villagers and leave the village,"

"We can have Bao Qiang inquire about the specifics; after all, it's better to be safe than sorry."

"We cannot die unjustly, otherwise we will have no face to face the hopes and instructions of our predecessors."

The elder from the Heaven and Earth Society hesitated for a moment, then nodded and gave a few instructions to the middle-aged man beside him.

He then left the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness.

The old man helped Bao Qiang, who was kneeling on the ground, to his feet and said:

"I introduced you to the school because you practice authentic Hung Kuen."

I've heard of your elder brother; he's a good man. But the villagers here are suffering.

Especially among the refugees who have arrived recently, there are inevitably some who have engaged in arson, murder, and looting outside. Some of the gang leaders have already changed their minds, and we are getting old and can no longer suppress them.

Things are different now than they were then, although there are still connections with Guangzhou.

However, the people of Qingmen are also eyeing us covetously. If it weren't for the help from our overseas colleagues, we wouldn't have been able to hold on, nor would we have been able to protect our fellow villagers here.”

Bao Qiang helped the old man walk outside.

"Don't worry, boss. I know those guys are disloyal. Once my brother's troops arrive, I'll wipe them all out."

The old man nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"Times have changed, but you must pass on the spirit of loyalty, righteousness, integrity, and the duty to protect the country and its people."

After speaking, he nodded to the several wiry old men behind him, and then walked with Bao Qiang towards the fields outside the village.

The elderly men with bulging temples returned to the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness and moved some of the calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain items from the room into the hall.

One of them was seen slowly rotating while hugging a pillar outside the hall.

The walls in the upper part of the hall began to move, revealing an earthen staircase.

The elderly men quickly carried their belongings inside and soon came out, each carrying a rifle on their back.

The old man holding the pillar slowly moved back in the original direction, and the wall behind the hall slowly closed.

Meanwhile, Bao Qiang and his men followed the fleeing villagers, heading out of the village.

They encountered members of the Heaven and Earth Society on the way, and the two groups joined together, with some members dividing up the ranks to maintain order.

However, it was soon discovered that some local bullies were taking advantage of the chaos to forcibly seize the people's belongings, rummaging through them continuously.

Some thugs forcibly dragged passing girls into the room.

Ignoring the girl's needle pricks, he swung his fists several times, causing her mouth to bleed.

Leopard Qiang was filled with rage. He drew his katana from his back and slashed at the bully.

The bully quickly dodged and shouted:

"Don't meddle in other people's business. We grandpas aren't afraid of you. At worst, we'll all die together."

"Haha, to die beneath a peony blossom, even as a ghost, is still a romantic endeavor."

As he spoke, he began to pull the girl, who had collapsed to the ground, too weak to move.

You beast!

Leopard Qiang pulled the Browning pistol that Le You had given him from his chest, released the safety, and fired a shot at the bully.

"what"

"Run quickly"

Upon hearing the gunshots, the surrounding civilians immediately scattered and fled. The already chaotic crowd was quickly engulfed in a stampede, with people being knocked to the ground.

Some children were crying out for their fathers and mothers in the crowd...

Leopard Qiang raised his pistol and fired two shots into the air, shouting loudly:

"Don't move, or I'll kill them."

The panicked civilians instantly crouched on the ground, covering their heads with their hands, and remained motionless.

At that moment, several thugs nearby pulled out daggers and rushed towards Leopard Qiang.

When Bao Qiang turned around, the thugs had already rushed in front of him, and he could see several daggers about to pierce his back.

"bang bang bang"

Suddenly, several gunshots rang out in the distance, and the thugs instantly fell to the ground.

"Xiaoqiang, are you alright?"

Bao Qiang looked at the several elderly people running over and said:

"Fifth Master, I didn't expect you to be such a good shot. Thank you so much, otherwise I'm afraid I would have really been killed."

Fifth Master patted Leopard Qiang's head and said:

"Be careful next time; you can't always escape unscathed."

When you expose your back, you must eliminate all the enemies, unless you have a like-minded person fighting alongside you, but that's rare these days..."

Looking at the lost-in-thought Fifth Master, Leopard Qiang murmured:

"From now on, my back will only be exposed to my elder brother. Even if he wants to kill me, I will do it willingly."
