Chapter 166 The Blood Flag Army Commander greets the Nine Gates Admiral

"Who goes there!"

Everyone was taken aback and quickly looked in the direction from which the sound came.

A young man with short hair and a Western-style dress appeared in the dye shop at some point.

Chen Wen seemed to be strolling around casually, smiling gently as he slowly walked towards the crowd.

But in such a tense situation, his appearance itself was extremely eerie.

Nalan Yuanshu's pupils contracted slightly.

Chen Wen? What's he doing here?

Although he had already appointed the other party as the commander of the Jing'an Camp, he had not issued any orders to assist in the operation.

Moreover, it appeared at such a crucial moment.

That was absolutely wrong.

When Sun Wen saw Chen Wen, he was first taken aback, then his eyes lit up with unbelievable joy, and he blurted out, "Brother Chen!"

Lu Haodong and the others were greatly alarmed.

Most of them didn't know Chen Wen; they only heard him address Nalan Yuanshu as "sir," and assumed he was a yamen runner.

But why was Sun Yat-sen so agitated?

For a moment, no one could tell whether they were friend or foe, and they could only nervously grip their weapons.

Chen Wen waved enthusiastically to Sun Wen in response.

"Mr. Sun, I'm here to save you."

Lu Haodong, filled with doubt and surprise, asked Sun Wen in a low voice, "Yixian, who exactly is this person—?"

Sun Wen suppressed his excitement and quickly whispered, "Brother Lu, do you remember the friend I mentioned who gave you the watch? It's him!"

"What?" Lu Haodong was taken aback. Of course he remembered that after Sun Wen returned from the medical conference that day, he had mysteriously given him an exquisite watch.

But he remembered that the man was the leader of the Blood Flag Army.

Even if Nalan Yuanshu was slow to react, he would have noticed the problem at this moment.

However, he showed no sign of it on his face, and even took the opportunity to adopt the demeanor of a superior, saying in a deep voice: "Commander Chen? You've come at the right time! I am currently apprehending the wanted criminal Sun Wen and his gang. As the commander of the Jing'an Battalion, you must quickly cooperate with this admiral to capture the thieves!"

These words caused another uproar among the revolutionary army, who were even more confused about the identity of the newcomer.

Chen Wen stopped and looked at Nalan Yuanshu again, smiling slightly.

"Chen Wen, commander of the Blood Flag Army, greets the Nine Gates Admiral."

The moment the words fell, it was as if a silent command had been given.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Suddenly, figures appeared on the high walls, rooftops, and alleyways surrounding the dyeing workshop.

Dressed in dark, tight-fitting clothes, they carried standard-issue rifles or short-barreled guns, their muzzles menacing, aimed at the officers and soldiers in the field.

Although they were few in number, they occupied all the advantageous positions and ended up surrounding the yamen runners.

"What—what did you say?"

At this moment, Nalan Yuanshu couldn't care less about being surrounded. He just stared wide-eyed at Chen Wen, thinking he was hallucinating.

Commander of the Blood Flag Army?

That notorious pirate leader who was wanted by the imperial court and was said to be elusive at sea?

It's Chen Wen? How is that possible!

After the initial shock came endless absurdity and disbelief.

Who is Chen Wen? He is a world-renowned miracle doctor!

He was a tycoon who developed a miraculous medicine and was incredibly wealthy, a remarkable person whom even the emperor and empress dowager wanted to win over!

He possesses a level of glory, wealth, and status that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

If he wanted, the position of head of the Imperial Medical Academy would be within his grasp, and he could even reach the emperor's ears and become a favorite of the emperor and empress!

Such a person—such a person!

Why was he the commander of the Blood Flag Army?

Why would someone risk the extermination of their entire family to rebel?

Nalan Yuanshu couldn't understand it at all; it overturned all his cognition and logic.

He pointed at Chen Wen, his finger trembling slightly, his voice filled with absurdity: "Chen Wen! Do you know what you're talking about? Do you know everything you have now? Imperial physicians, wealth, fame—His Majesty and the Empress Dowager have both asked you about it!"

"Why would you stoop so low, associating with these rebels and committing such a heinous act?!"

Nalan Yuanshu's roar also confused everyone else.

Even Sun Yat-sen, Lu Haodong, and others could not understand it.

Why would someone with such status, wealth, and fame risk their life to rebel?

Could it be that Chen Wen's identity is fake?

He was not the commander of the Blood Flag Army at all, or rather, the Blood Flag Army itself was a fake.

Nalan Yuanshu forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, looked at the young man before him, and hurriedly said again, "Chen Wen! What exactly do you want? High office? Generous salary? Mountains of gold and silver? To be remembered in history?"

"If you turn back now, with your medical skills, the imperial court will give you anything you need, including those miraculous medicines!"

"I could even petition the court to grant you a title! A princely rank, land, and fiefdom! Why must you choose this deadly path?!"

Chen Wenben, who had initially maintained a calm demeanor, now seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world and couldn't help but burst into laughter: " confer titles of kings and marquises? Nalan Yuanshu, your Manchu Qing dynasty has been in the Central Plains for over two hundred years, have you ever truly conferred titles of kings and marquises upon a single Han Chinese?"

"Such empty promises are only good enough to fool a three-year-old."

Seeing that Chen Wen remained unmoved, Nalan Yuanshu grew even more anxious and disregarded everything else: "Chen Wen! You are different from those rebels like Sun Yat-sen! You are the world-renowned Dr. Chen!"

"I'm sure the Emperor and Empress Dowager will look at you in a new light!"

When Nalan Yuanshu made this promise of royalty, Sun Wen and the others who were surrounded at the core felt a chill in their hearts.

Zhu Qi's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but lower her voice urgently, "Mr. Sun! These conditions—would Mr. Chen—"

Lu Haodong also frowned and looked at Sun Wen.

Sun Yat-sen gently shook his head: "Don't panic, Brother Chen won't."

"You may not know, but I am also a doctor, and I know very well what the prescriptions and medical skills that Brother Chen created mean."

"That's not just wealth, but a status and prestige that can make you famous throughout the world and even benefit future generations."

"If he were truly greedy for fame and fortune, why would he risk the extermination of his entire family by rebelling?"

"It is precisely because I know what he gave up that I am even more convinced that what he sought could not be measured by worldly power and position."

really.

Chen Wen's smile gradually faded. He looked at Nalan Yuanshu as if he were watching a joke: "Nalan Yuanshu, there's no need to waste your efforts!"

"However, if you really have the ability to capture me, this merit is indeed enough for you to try and be made a king or marquis."

"You!" Nalan Yuanshu roared in fury, demanding, "What exactly do you intend to do by rebelling?!"

Chen Wenjing stood still, his voice calm yet clearly reaching the ears of everyone present: "Because I am Han Chinese."

Sun Yat-sen was jolted, his eyes gleaming with unprecedented light, and he was so excited he almost shouted, "Brother Chen!"

Lu Haodong, Zhu Qi, and others were also filled with excitement.

This reason is more powerful and more exciting than any impassioned slogan!

Nalan Yuanshu was struck as if by a heavy blow, and his face instantly turned ashen.

He got it.

The person before me cannot be swayed by wealth and honor. His rebellion is rooted in his blood; it is a complete and irreconcilable opposition!

"Good! What a Han Chinese!" Nalan Yuanshu gritted his teeth, his eyes surging with murderous intent.

"You've courted death, so don't blame me for being ruthless! Kill them! Kill them without mercy!"

Almost simultaneously with his order, Chen Wen waved his hand: "Blood Flag Army, fire!"
