Chapter 288 How Can an Immortal Have Bad Popularity? With Hirudo in Hand, Who Do You Fear? !
"Senior, what's wrong?"
At this time, Li Muxuan couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw the head of the Tang family staring at him without speaking.
Tang Bingwen waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, I just feel a little sigh in my heart."
After saying that, he looked at the junior in front of him who knew some rudimentary handling skills, "Before, I was still wondering whether you could handle the revenge of the previous gang, but now it seems that they are the ones to worry about."
"oh?"
Li Muxuan's eyes were dull.
After taking care of that person, he expected that the previous group would not give up.
After all, he was their master. Although he had been ousted long ago, many people still feel that growing flowers cannot be without the emperor, just like the West cannot be without Jerusalem.
In this regard, although Li Muxuan would not take the initiative to find trouble, but if they brought it to their door.
That's a different story.
When Chief Tang said this to himself, he had obviously received some news.
At this time, Tang Bingwen said: "Do you still remember the First Batulu and Chief Huo Men? After the former had his arm cut off by you, he led a group of people to the grassland to become princes and did not get involved in this matter."
"Mr. Huo Men."
"He brought someone to see me, hoping to buy your head."
"Is it?"
Li Muxuan looked calm and composed.
I just feel a little strange in my heart. The Tang Sect is not the most strict about rules, so why did they sell customer information?
In this regard, Tang Bingwen seemed to understand what Li Muxuan was thinking, and to express his position, he said: "Since the transaction has not been completed, then they are not customers."
"Besides, this matter involves the business we discussed before."
"Could they be colluding with the Japanese?"
Li Muxuan's eyes turned cold.
"almost."
Tang Bingwen nodded and said: "Now the people from the previous dynasty who seek revenge on you are divided into two groups."
"One faction is Chief Huo, and the other is a faction that surrenders to the Japanese. The former are mostly old-school martial arts masters who have served as errands and bodyguards in the palace, but are unwilling to collude with the Japanese pirates."
"The latter has ambitions of restoration."
"After that person died, he found his illegitimate son who was living with him outside."
Speaking of this, a flash of ridicule flashed in Tang Bingwen's eyes. Although he was from the Jianghu and had never been involved in the political affairs of the court, the illegitimate child just had to open his mouth. Anyway, it is not as strict as before.
How many people would be serious about this matter?
"Then what?"
Li Muxuan said that he did not care about the family affairs of the former royal family.
"Then he got mixed up with the Japanese."
Tang Bingwen said in a deep voice: "We have almost found out your previous commission."
"A total of 21 sects, 131 people, were involved. Only 24 of them were Japanese. Most of the rest were, as I just said, cooperating with the Japanese for revenge and restoration of the country."
"There are also some who are pure traitors, working for the Japanese for wine, sex and wealth."
"These hundreds of people want to kill you now and then quickly."
Hearing this, Li Muchuan's expression did not change, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, senior, for informing me."
"You're welcome. Taking people's money and eliminating disasters is the rule of our Tang Sect." Tang Bingwen put his hands behind his back and showed a bit of arrogance on his brows: "Let's not say whether this group of people will directly trouble you."
"I have sent my disciples to keep an eye on them secretly."
"Three months, just three months."
"I dare not say that everything will be solved, but nine out of ten cases will disappear completely in this world."
"The rest will keep an eye on them day and night. Unless our Tang Sect is gone or something unexpected happens, the assassination will not stop as long as the other party is on this land for a day!"
The words fell.
Li Muxuan's face showed a touch of respect.
Not only do we respect each other's patriotism, but we also respect each other's professionalism.
Sure enough, it was about murder.
You are right to look for Tang Sect.
At this time, he noticed the eyes of the junior in front of him.
Tang Bingwen was very impressed. A faint smile appeared on his wrinkled face and he said confidently: "Just now you said that you wanted me, Tang Clan, to take action if you have something to do. What's the matter?"
"Don't hide it from senior."
Li Muxuan said bluntly: "This battle in Lushun actually slipped through the net."
"These people did not land at Lushun Pier."
"The younger generation suspects that they may transfer to Shanghai City, after all, their concession is there and it is the economic lifeline, or they may take different ships and disperse to major coastal cities."
"But no matter what it is, it is a potential threat to us."
The words fell.
Tang Bingwen frowned suddenly. This matter was much more difficult than the previous matter.
It’s not that the Japanese are difficult to deal with, but it’s that they are too difficult to investigate!
After all, there were so many coastal cities across the country. If the Japanese were to spread out and lurk, there were only a few people in one city, and there were no clues for them to follow them. How much manpower and material resources would it cost.
Not to mention that almost all the disciples have been sent out now.
There are no manpower at all.
Think of this.
Tang Bingwen pondered for a while and then said: "I will send a few people to Shanghai to investigate."
"As for other coastal cities, I will ask people to inquire after they are free in three months. But don't hold out any hope. As long as the Japanese don't make too much noise, they can calm down and take root in this land."
"There's nothing we can do against them."
"Thank you, senior."
Li Muxuan cupped his hands and thanked him: "To be honest, I have entrusted four sects with the investigation: Longhushan, Shangqing Sect, Baiyunguan, Wudang, Putuo and other sects. He will inform you immediately as soon as there is news."
Although these sects are not intelligence organizations, they cannot handle the large number of disciples.
Besides, there are four more.
Their energy in the secular and spiritual world is not small.
"."
Tang Bingwen twitched his mouth when he heard these sects. Which one of them is weaker than his own?
Knew it.
How could the popularity of immortals be so bad?
Even if Li Muxuan doesn't do it himself, someone will do many things for him.
For example, my own home.
Aren't you just doing something for Li Muxuan?
Of course, his Tang Sect is different from those sects that show favor to Li Muxuan for profit. They only reached cooperation based on patriotic concepts and business contacts!
at the same time.
In a high-rise building in the Shanghai Concession.
A Japanese officer wearing a khaki military uniform smiled at the old man holding a cane in front of him and said, "Welcome to join the Dobunkai and serve His Majesty the Emperor together in the future! Strive for the prosperity of East Asia!"
"That's right, sir."
The old man Chuguai nodded with a smile.
Behind him stood a group of people dressed in strange shapes, including a young man wearing a student uniform with a Japanese sword slung at his waist, a samurai holding a piece of foxtail in his mouth, and a woman dressed as a witch with green eyes.
After hearing what the Japanese officials said, this group of people showed a bit of disdain in their eyes.
What an emperor.
If it weren't for the fact that Ninto promised to exchange military exploits for acceptance, they wouldn't have bothered to pay attention.
In this regard, the Japanese officials took everything into account. Although they were unhappy in their hearts, they did not show it because after the Battle of Lushun, the Japanese people were severely damaged, and now only this group of Bihe Ren could be used.
Between thoughts.
Shinobu's voice rang in his ears.
"Sir, there's something I want to know. What's going on with those meteorites in Lushun?"
Shinobu narrowed his eyes slightly. If such a big thing happened, it would be impossible for the higher-ups to hide it even if they wanted to. As a practitioner, of course he knew that this could not be a coincidence and must be man-made.
That's why.
He had a strong sense of crisis.
To know.
Those who took the boat to Lushun were the main force, and I and some small sects were just minutiae.
Even they were wiped out by the group. If my group rashly joins forces with the flower cultivators, I might be the next one to be killed by a meteorite.
"Sorry, this matter is top secret."
The Japanese official shook his head.
As for the truth, there are actually many internal opinions. After all, most of the people who saw it died.
The remaining soldiers who survived, because they were not practitioners and had limited vision, could not provide much useful information at all. So so far, they only knew that the huge stone was suspected to be Li Muxuan's work.
As for whether it is done by the other party alone or by a group of people working together.
It’s not known yet.
But this incident has alarmed His Majesty and the Prime Minister. They personally ordered that in order to avoid panic in the country, they were not allowed to disclose any information to the outside world, and they kept silent internally.
Especially for practitioners, they will hide it if they can, and if they can't, they will make up excuses to confuse the public.
The reason for this is also very simple.
If only he knew that he was facing an immortal who was suspected of having the ability to move mountains and reclaim seas.
Several of these strangers are willing to work hard for Japan.
At this time, after hearing the words of the Japanese officials, Ninto's expression was a little gloomy. These nobles and officials wanted to make people sell their lives but they were still hiding them.
Do you really think I'm your dog?
do not forget.
We are just cooperating!
Immediately, Ninto said calmly: "Since it is top secret, I won't ask any more questions."
"It's just that we have traveled across the ocean and are not accustomed to the local environment. Of course, please rest assured that if there are any arrangements from above, we will do our best to cooperate."
The Japanese officer's eyes suddenly turned cold.
But there was a smile on his face: "Actually, I still know a bit about Lushun."
"You and I have known each other since we met, and we are both loyal to His Majesty. It doesn't hurt to tell you that that meteorite is the result of the combined efforts of hundreds of flower cultivators."
"It's just that the reputation falls on one person in the end."
"who?"
"Li Muxuan."
The Japanese official said with half truth and falsehood.
Hearing this name, Shinobu's eyes suddenly froze. There was nothing he could do about it, this name appeared too frequently.
At the same time, every time things related to him are not small.
Just thinking about it.
The Japanese officer's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"You also know that most people see things superficially and don't care about the truth behind them."
"Although Li Muxuan was not responsible for that huge stone, most of them only saw him. It is for this reason that the higher-ups ordered to block the news."
"After all, a man who can move mountains and reclaim seas with a lift of his hands would be exposed to the public."
"There will be mass panic."
"By then, it won't matter whether he made the boulder alone."
After listening, Shinobu stared closely at the Japanese official, wanting to confirm whether the other party had lied to him, and at the same time thinking about how credible these words were.
Finally, after pondering for a while.
Still choose to believe.
After all, if such a huge boulder was really made by human hands, Li Muxuan would be too terrifying.
He had to run away with Higurashi overnight.
Immediately, Nin Tou smiled and said: "Thank you sir for informing me. This will make me feel confident."
"I'll have to rely on the commander to take care of me from now on."
"You're very polite, madam."
The Japanese official smiled and said, "If you need help in the future, just ask."
"Over the years, we have worked tirelessly and diligently, and in the name of student tours and visits, we have visited all provinces and regions where flowers are planted except the Western Regions."
"It involves geography, industry, commerce, society, economy, politics and many other aspects."
"I will never hold you back in terms of intelligence."
"Thank you very much."
Shinobi's eyes flashed, and he was very confident in the ability of these guys to obtain intelligence.
After all, this group of people had already started investigating Zhonghua more than forty years ago, and they intensified their efforts after the Sino-Japanese War. Now, the entire Zhonghua is more familiar to their group of intelligence agencies than they are at home.
Just because of Biheren's relationship with his superiors, he was worried that he would hide something.
It seems.
It wouldn't be bad if the old priest's group died.
At least at this stage, the superiors can only rely on themselves, so the salary will naturally increase.
Between thoughts.
The Japanese official's voice sounded again.
"You have just arrived and are not familiar with many places, so you will stay in the concession for the time being. However, this is a flower planting site after all, so you should be too conspicuous to avoid being targeted by flower planting practitioners."
"These guys like to fight in groups and play dirty tricks. That's what Mr. Gong Si doesn't do."
"Please don't worry, sir."
Shinobu agreed without even thinking about it.
The Japanese officer continued: "After you get familiar with it, I will arrange for you to protect some important people."
"who?"
“A flower grower who shares our ideals.”
The Japanese officials said that they had already reached an agreement with the people from the Qing Dynasty. As long as they were willing to transfer their interests in the Northeast, they would help them restore their country and at the same time protect their personal safety.
"Understood."
Ninto smiled lightly when he heard this.
Afterwards, the two didn't chat for long, and Ninto led his people out of the building.
As soon as he arrived outside, he heard Zhuang Bingwei beside him saying: "Teacher Ono, what that person just said about the Battle of Lushun is not credible, at least not entirely."
"Things are definitely not as simple as he said,"
"Especially that Li Muxuan, we'd better avoid him as much as possible."
"Yes, Not Bad."
Shinobu was very pleased to hear this.
Then he said: "Then Li Muxuan is really not easy to mess with. After all, it might be a coincidence once or twice."
"But it can't be such a coincidence every time, and now even the old priest is in his hands. Although it can't be confirmed that he did it alone, even if it was a beating, it is enough to show that this person is not simple."
"But Shobei, do you think there are immortals in this world?"
"this"
There was hesitation on Zhuang Bingwei's face.
I didn’t understand why the teacher suddenly asked this, but he hesitated for a while and shook his head.
Seeing this, the old ninja showed a confident smile, "Since there are no immortals, then to put it bluntly, Li Muxuan is just a stronger person, and as long as he is a human, there is no one who cannot be killed!"
"So there's actually no need to worry too much about him."
"However, when encountering Li Muxuan, we should avoid him at all times. After all, in a head-on collision, our people may not be his opponents."
"yes."
Zhuang Bingwei nodded, but something felt strange.
Eita on the side was indifferent.
Not a match for a head-on collision?
Why should the old man gain other people's ambition and destroy his own prestige? With leech pills in hand, who should he be afraid of?
If I have a chance to meet him in the future, I will definitely compete with him!
