As soon as Li Qingwen finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from outside the hospital. Immediately afterwards, dozens of heads suddenly rose up from outside the wall of the village hall, and many people also came up from the roofs of the main house and the side rooms on both sides. All of them pointed their guns at the three people with their muzzles pointed out of the black hole.
Chai Rugui looked at it, glared at Chen Jishan and said, "What do you mean by this?"
Chen Jishan waved his hand and said, "You three, wait a moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone heard a sudden loud shouting outside. After a while, several gunshots were heard, and the expressions of Chai Rugui and the other two people suddenly changed.
In the main room at this time, Zhao Xin heard a report coming from the walkie-talkie, saying that both Zhunise and Qibukadai, who had been resisting, had been arrested. The villagers were fine and just panicked. Then he used the assault rifle in his hand. The rifle's safety was closed, and he patted A Miao's little hand beside him.
There was no other way. Zhao Xin originally wanted to quietly close the door and do it, but Chen Jishan and others refused to agree. They would call in the guards who were on standby five miles away. With so many actions of the Northern Navy, it was impossible not to cause panic. In order to prevent people from jumping over the wall in a hurry, Zhao Xin had to order the security company to arrest the two spies who were sticking to the pole.
His plan to go to the countryside in disguise came to nothing. However, it can also be seen from this point that the villages below Beihai Town are far from peaceful.
In the courtyard, Gao Liugeng, who was standing under the eaves, sneered: "Is this your rule? Do you want my three brothers to be captured without mercy?"
Chen Jishan laughed and said: "It's okay, we just caught a few Manchu spies. Let's continue our work. I am responsible for important tasks today. If someone hadn't sent a message and wanted to see the martial arts of the three of you, I would have ordered you to be captured directly. But my lord said Well, since all your family members are in the Manchu Qing Dynasty as hostages, it won’t be difficult for you to wait, just follow the rules just mentioned. But if you have other thoughts, don’t blame the bullet for not having an eye!"
Chai Rugui and the others looked at each other, cupped their hands and said, "I hope you will keep your promise and keep your word."
Chai Rugui and the others didn't understand what a "company commander" was. Anyway, they thought he was an official. They didn't know if there was a boss from the imperial court's green camp.
Chen Jishan took off his coat and put on a white cotton jacket. He handed the coat to his companion behind him, then walked down the steps and stood ten steps away from Li Qingwen.
In the old days, when people in the martial arts had a fight, they had to report their master's name first, mainly because they were afraid that the other master would have any grudges or enmities with themselves. If there is a big favor, then just admit defeat as repayment; but if it is an acquaintance or there is a grudge, then you have to fight. If there is a big hatred, you have to fight to the death.
The problem is that Chai Rugui and the other three dare not declare their trade name for fear of causing trouble to the master, and the same goes for Chen Jishan. So the two of them didn't say anything when they came up. They just clasped their fists and then opened up their stance.
The two sides faced off for more than ten seconds before Chen Jishan took action. He did not want to waste any more time, mainly because he was afraid that something might happen to Zhao Xin or A Miao in the room.
When he first came up, he didn't use his own martial arts, but used the catching fist taught by Wang Yuanfang. He took two quick steps, stepped forward with his left foot and made a slight lunge. With a "whoosh", his right fist was like a cannonball. Hit Li Qingwen directly on the chest.
When Li Qingwen saw the opponent's coming, he didn't take action. He only waited for the fist to come and turned slightly sideways. He let out a low roar, suddenly stretched out his left foot and stepped forward hard. His neck shrank, and his whole body seemed to be... A huge boulder slammed into Chen Jishan's arms.
A fight between masters only happens in a split second. If you really want to fight with me for a long time, it's pure nonsense.
Seeing this, Chen Jishan stepped back with his left foot, stretched out his right hand and left hand hidden under his arm, and put them on Li Qingwen's body. He turned his arms, shook his wrist, and at the same time stumbled under his feet, making a muffled "pop" sound. , Li Qingwen was thrown out, took two steps back, and then stood still.
Li Qingwen's face turned red, and he cupped his hands at Chen Jishan and said, "I lost."
I wipe it! What is this? What is this? !
Everyone present, including Zhao Xin who was watching intently in the room, were all dumbfounded. The two exchanged blows very quickly. In a blink of an eye, they saw Chen Jishan lunge and punch. The two of them staggered, and then Li Qingwen took two steps back.
Is this the end? !
Outsiders didn't know, but Li Qingwen knew it himself. The two parts of his body where Chen Jishan touched him felt as painful as needle pricks. He took several breaths, and the pain slowly subsided.
Chai Rugui suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted: "Tongbei Binding Fist, this is Tongbei Binding Fist! This is the Divine Fist Guo..."
Chen Jishan raised his hands and interrupted: "If you are not good at studying, don't sign up, so as not to embarrass your elders." After that, he looked at the three-inch-deep footprints made by Li Qingwen on the ground, nodded and said: "Chang Family Quan, It truly lives up to its reputation!”
He defeated Li Qingwen with two moves and became even more powerful. He said to Chai Rugui and Gao Liugeng, "Which one of you will come first?"
Gao Liugeng looked around and said to Chen Jishan: "There is no one who can take advantage of you. Forget it, I'll go first." After that, he walked directly into the field.
"Shen Gun Gao Liugeng, I'm sorry. If I had known you were here, I would have prepared two pewter poles in advance."
After Chen Jishan finished speaking, he followed the mentality of a quick victory. As soon as Gao Liugeng got into his stance, he stepped forward, lowered his head, walked three steps quickly, turned his body to one side, put his legs into a horse stance, and struck with his elbow.
Gao Liugeng's eyes narrowed and he hurriedly stepped away. He stretched out his right arm like a big gun and aimed at Chen Jishan's cheek. Chen Jishan stretched out his right arm and waved it to the left, wrapping it around the opponent's forearm. He made a fist with his left hand and hit Gao Liugeng under the armpit with his knuckles protruding.
Gao Liugeng was shocked, knowing that if he touched him, his arm would be useless. He twisted his waist hard, turned his whole body outward, raised his hands and shouted: "Wait a minute! You are doing Bajiquan! What is your relationship with the Wu family?!"
"Mr. Wu, we have admired his name for a long time, but we haven't had the opportunity to meet him. I use the Military Body Boxing of the Beihai Navy."
"What nonsense!" Li Qingwen pointed at Chen Jishan and said, "The first blow just now was clearly the top elbow of Bajiquan!"
Li Qingwen was right. Bei Haijun's military style boxing originated from the 20-way enemy-catching boxing in another time and space, and its basic movements were derived from Bajiquan.
Liu Sheng originally wanted to use this hand and his strong body to defeat Chen Jishan, but after being entangled by the opponent, he was thrown out in two blows. However, Chen Jishan also saw later that the military fist was powerful and more effective than his wrapping fist when fighting on the battlefield. So I humbly asked for advice and finally understood it.
Chai Rugui could see at this time that although Chen Jishan was basically using his arms and fists, he was taking a fierce approach, opening and closing his arms widely, just like a fierce general on the battlefield. So he stepped forward and said to Gao Liugeng: "Second brother, stand aside. Neither of you are his opponent."
Chen Jishan cupped his hands and said, "The famous Chai Wudi, I understand."
When Chai Rugui's identity was revealed, he just smiled, clasped his fists and bowed, "I've heard of Master Guo for a long time, and I've always wanted to visit him, but unfortunately I don't have the opportunity."
After Gu Chen said this, his whole aura changed. He opened his posture with fists and palms, as if holding a large sword, Yuan Ting Yue Zhi.
When Chen Jishan saw it, he didn't dare to be rude. He stretched out his toes and lightly swept the ground. He made fists with his hands and stretched and contracted his arms, as if he was holding a sledgehammer in one hand.
The two of them faced off for about a stick of incense. Zhao Xin, who was sitting in the room, yawned and said flatly: "Hurry up and finish the fight. Let's go back to our homes and find our mothers."
A Miao on the side couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing this.
As if he heard Zhao Xin's words, Chai Rugui stared at Chen Jishan intently. He put his feet forward and took a step forward. As soon as he moved, Chen Jishan moved. He also took a step forward. He exchanged his hands and turned his fists into palms. Slightly downward.
In fact, "Hongdong Arm-wrapping Fist" originated from "Chen Changquan 108", and its origin was Qi Jiguang's 32-position Changquan. At first glance, it looks like external boxing, but it is actually internal boxing. His theory of boxing talks about not moving the other person and not moving himself, coordinating the virtual and the real, inducing the other person to be lighthearted and then controlling him. It's a fast word. As long as the opponent moves, he must be faster than the opponent. And once he entangles the opponent, his arms are like rattan, and he can dodge and take advantage of them.
Chai Rugui is like a fierce general holding a big sword and preparing to charge at the city gate, while Chen Jishan is like a goalkeeper holding two sledgehammers. The two of them were facing each other in the field, and it took a long time before they moved. The onlookers glanced back and forth at the two of them, wondering why they didn't fight?
Li Qingwen and Gao Liugeng, who were on the side, had already seen the clues and understood that once the two of them joined hands, they would both lose. At this time, their hearts were in their throats.
After half a stick of incense, Chai Rugui suddenly said: "Xi can't beat me."
Chen Jishan nodded slightly: "I won't lose either."
"Forget it, the second and third brothers have all lost. Even if I get a draw, I'm still a loser." After Chai Rugui finished speaking, he stopped his stance, cupped his fists at Chen Jishan and said, "My three brothers are not as good as others, so accept the fight and accept the punishment. "
In fact, Chai Rugui and the others have already lost half the game today in terms of momentum. Dozens of soldiers pointed guns at the three of them. If they made the slightest move, they would be beaten into pieces. It was impossible not to be distracted.
Chen Jishan clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry then. I'll aggrieve the three of you for a moment." After saying that, he waved his hand, and several soldiers came in from the door with ropes and tied the three of them tightly. gone.
When getting on the carriage, Li Qingwen was still unconvinced. If there weren't so many soldiers pointing guns at him today, he wouldn't have lost an inch, so he shouted to Chen Jishan: "If you have the ability, let's have another fight!"
The fighting here in Beihai Town has come to an end, but the "Literary Society" far away in northern Jiangsu has just begun.
Looking at the pier getting closer and closer, Jiao Xun, who was standing on the deck, looked happy and said to the three people behind him: "We have arrived at Huai'an Mansion!"
Nine days after sailing from Yangzhou, Jiang Fan and the four of them finally arrived at Huai'an Mansion. As soon as the ship docked at the Qingjiangpu pier, Jiao Xun, Zhong Huai and Huang Chengji, who had been feeling depressed for a long time, couldn't wait to get off the ship. After being on the boat for so many days, I was tired of seeing all the scenery and eating all the river delicacies. Everyone decided to find an inn to rest for a day. At least they had to take a shower, change clothes, and have a good meal.
At this time, the bow of the boat on the side laughed and said, "I want to let the gentlemen know that this place is only Qingjiangpu, and it is still thirty miles away from Fucheng."
"Ah?" The young Huang Chengji looked at the densely packed boats on the shore and the stacked houses on the river bank, and sighed: "You don't know what's going on in the world if you don't go out. I didn't expect that Huai'an Prefecture is so prosperous, no less than Yangzhou."
Jiang Fan chuckled and said to Huang Chengji: "In the past, Gu Ningren said that when Qing Jiangpu was governed thirty miles to the northwest, all the goods from the north and south used to pass by Renli and other five cars in the west of the city. Since then, they have been transported above the Shahe River. After that, all cargo ships crossed the dam from the Qingjiang River. The canal in the inner and the Huang and Huaihe rivers in the outer, Zhunxiao Lubiji, with tens of thousands of residents, were the water and land channels. And since the ancestors of our dynasty, we have set up a water transport governor's office in Huai'an. Together with the governor's office of the river, it is said that among the nine governors in the world, Huai ranks second."
Huai'an Prefecture is located at the strategic point of water and land. It has been a water transportation hub since the Ming Dynasty. The rice and stone transported by water ships from all provinces in the Yangtze River Basin must be inspected here. At the same time, there are also many merchant ships traveling from north to south, making the city's business quite important. prosperous. At the same time, because the two major governor-general offices of the Qing Dynasty were located here, and a large number of salt merchants gathered here, Huai'an Prefecture became a "Shangqiu (same pronunciation as Tuan)." A city that captures and filters the blood of poor people.
As soon as the four of them landed, a group of people from the Yaxing Inn gathered around them and started soliciting business. The four people from Jiang Fan asked for a while and then chose a restaurant called "Qingjiang Tower". The four of them didn't bring much luggage, so they boarded the carriage at the inn without a porter.
While waiting to check into the hotel, the four of them took out the road guide that had been opened long ago to register. The shopkeeper saw that the four of them were all dressed as gentlemen, and they said "I mean" from time to time in their conversation. There was no problem with the road guide, so he didn't ask any more questions. According to the A courtyard was opened at Jiang Fan's request.
In the Qing Dynasty, Huai'an Prefecture was a gathering place of humanities and had jurisdiction over seven counties, each of which had its own academies. Scholars from various places come and go in an endless stream every year, and everyone is not surprised.
The four of them went to their residence and asked the waiter to boil water for a bath. After washing up, they changed their clothes. When they were about to discuss where to eat, they heard someone knocking on the door outside the courtyard. None of the four dared to take anyone down this time, and Huang Chengji was the youngest among the four, so he stood up and opened the door.
When he opened the door, he saw a muscular man in his thirties, dressed in shorts and wearing a felt hat on his head. When the man saw Huang Chengji, he quickly bowed and said, "May I ask if Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiao and Mr. Zhong from Yangzhou are staying here?"
Huang Chengji nodded after hearing this and asked, "Who are you?"
"My surname is Xu, and my name is Xu Huaizhong. I have been entrusted by someone to ask for help from three gentlemen. Can I come into the courtyard to talk to you?"
Huang Chengji saw that this man spoke and behaved in an elegant manner, without any of the nervousness and deliberate respect that ordinary people would have when seeing a scholar. He couldn't help but secretly marveled, thought for a moment and said, "Come in."
At this time, Jiang Fan and others also came out. When they saw Xu Huai, they didn't recognize anyone. He then said, "Who is entrusting you, a man? Why are you looking for me?"
Xu Huaizhong took two steps forward, cupped his hands and said in a low voice: "I have been asked by Mr. Rong Fu to pick up a few gentlemen to go to Xuzhuang in Sheyang Lake."
Jiang Fan traveled all over the country and had more knowledge than Jiao Xun and others, so he asked: "Is there any letter to prove it?"
Xu Huaizhong nodded, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Jiang Fan. Jiao Xun and the others came closer and saw that the handwriting on the letter was indeed Wang Zhong's. The above only mentioned that you should be careful after reaching Huai'an, and just follow Xu Huaizhong's arrangements for the rest of the itinerary.
Jiao Xun suddenly said: "Since you are entrusted by Mr. Rong Fu, how do you know where we live?"
Xu Huaizhong said: "To be honest, Mr. Rong Fu told me about the appearance of several gentlemen before, and there are also some guys at Qingjiangpu Pier. I just saw these gentlemen coming ashore, so I followed them all the way to Qingjiang Tower. Let me know. I have prepared a banquet in Qingyun Tower in advance to wash the dust for the four gentlemen."
Jiao Xun, Zhong Huai and Huang Chengji all looked at Jiang Fan at this time, just because he had the most knowledge.
Jiang Fan said in his heart: "He's here, let's eat him first."
