"Ta Kung Pao" published a notice to challenge the Japanese. This was also a rare piece of news that immediately attracted attention.
The Japanese in the Japanese Concession in Tianjin immediately started making noises when they saw it. Regardless of whether their real skills would work, they immediately went to the "Tianjin Daily News" newspaper and threatened to destroy the prestige of the Chinese people.
Fang Yaoyu, the editor-in-chief of "Daily News", was holding a pair of glasses in his office to study some ancient coins from the Han Dynasty that he had just collected. Suddenly, the door was pushed open by several Japanese.
"Baga, what are the Chinese people so arrogant about!"
"Look at what's written in the news!" Fang Yaoyu was a little unhappy because the Japanese's actions had shaken off a few of his ancient coins, which were his treasures.
Fang Yaoyu lowered his head and picked it up carefully, put it on his mouth and blew on it. He lifted it up to see that there was no damage. Then he looked at the Japanese who came in and said, "Do you have any confidence?"
"We are from a martial arts school, so we can't compete in intelligence, but we are not afraid of the sick man of East Asia in the boxing competition!" Fang Yaoyu twitched the corner of his mouth. These people are indeed martial artists. If the Japanese in the embassy saw him, they would definitely not say it to his face.
Phrases like "the sick man of Asia". However, he also knew that ordinary Japanese people would not treat him normally and had become accustomed to it, so he said: "Do you mean to accept the challenge?" Several Japanese warriors said: "If you don't kill a few, you won't know how powerful we are!" Fang Yao Yu said calmly: "I know, I will publish it in the newspaper." Not only did the Japanese see it, but Nong Jinsun from Tianjin also gave the newspaper to Huo Yuanjia.
He is a man who loves to fight and will leave for the capital immediately. Nong Jinsun couldn't help but warn: "When you go to the capital, you are at the feet of the emperor. It is very different from Tianjin. Don't act hastily, let alone hurt the lives of the Japanese." His words were completely different from those of the Japanese warriors, and they were much more cautious. .
But Huo Yuanjia didn't care about this: "If you don't dare to sign the certificate of life and death, these stinky sweet potatoes and rotten eggs should get out of here as soon as possible." In his heart, Huo Yuanjia also wanted to visit the capital. He spent most of his time in Staying in Tianjin, I finally have the opportunity to go to the capital, and maybe I can become famous, so I will definitely not let it go.
Nong Jinsun knew that he could not be persuaded, so he sent a telegram to Li Yu. Li Yu wanted to take the initiative to contact him, but Huo Yuanjia came over himself and happily drove to Zhengyangmen Railway Station to pick him up.
Huo Yuanjia had never seen a car, and he was very surprised after getting on it: "Foreign trains can run without rails." Li Yu had no choice but to explain to him what a car was, and mentioned that he could produce the core components of cars.
Huo Yuanjia was greatly surprised: "The emperor's brain is really good!" Li Yu said with a smile: "You should have passed by a factory area when you took the train. That will be the factory in the future, and it will also be exported overseas." Huo Yuanjia praised He said: "The Emperor is really proud of us." When they arrived at Li Yu's residence, Huo Yuanjia did not expect that Li Yu's family was so big, almost like a prince's palace.
It is indeed about the same size as a regular royal palace. After all, Ronglu was a powerful minister in the past.
Li Yu arranged a good room for him, and then begged him to teach him his skills. Huo Yuanjia was bored anyway, so he agreed, but he still warned: "Master Emperor, although your physical fitness seems to be very good and you look tall and strong, martial arts training is hard work, and it is difficult for ordinary scholars with delicate skin and tender flesh to resist. "Li Yu said: "I just learned something to defend myself." Huo Yuanjia said: "Simple self-defense is easy to say. But for the emperor's master, do you know what the best self-defense technique is?" Li Yu listened attentively: " Master Huo, please enlighten me." Huo Yuanjia said word by word: "Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy!" Li Yu was stunned: "Escape?" Huo Yuanjia nodded: "That's right!" Li Yu was a little disappointed : "This..." Huo Yuanjia seemed to know what Li Yu wanted to say, so he said: "Emperor Master, your ability is not in martial arts, but in wisdom. Only wise people can do great things since ancient times. This kind of fighting is not It's suitable for you, because your life is more precious and you can't take the risk of fighting." What Huo Yuanjia said is still very reasonable, but how could Li Yu not feel itchy when he saw people like Huang Feihong and Huo Yuanjia?
He has watched countless martial arts TV series and martial arts movies since he was a child. He will not let him go without teaching him how to use his hands today.
Li Yu said: "What Master Huo said is absolutely true, but if you are in trouble, you have to get out of it." Huo Yuanjia said: "It makes sense, then I will boldly teach the Emperor Master some Mizong Fist moves. This is Huo It is not difficult to learn a special skill, but it takes time to master it." Li Yu did not expect Huo Yuanjia to show off his unique skills when he came up, and was moved: "I will definitely practice hard!" Huo Yuanjia took two steps back. , put on a posture.
Like Huang Feihong, a person who has been practicing martial arts all year round will immediately feel Yuan Ting Yue Zhi as soon as he goes to that station, which is very imposing.
He is not just a showman, he is practicing real Kung Fu. He said while practicing boxing: "This boxing technique emphasizes softness with strength, steps like a cat, and quickness like lightning. But there are not many people who want to achieve the artistic conception of 'softness with strength'" It is absolutely impossible to achieve the basic skills of the year, so in view of the emperor's request, I think a preemptive move is more suitable, and I can wait for the opportunity to escape." What Huo Yuanjia said before was very impressive, but the last four words
"Waiting for an opportunity to escape" almost allowed Li Yu to break his defense. But I guess I can reach this level. Li Yu learned from Huo Yuanjia, and for most of the day he only learned a little bit.
Huo Yuanjia said: "Not bad. Fortunately, your physical fitness is good. The accuracy is not enough, but the strength is good." Li Yu knew that he had said it tactfully enough. Anyway, Huo Yuanjia had nothing to do these days, so he could learn slowly. It's not like the time was too tight like when I first found Huang Feihong.
Even so, after two or three days, Li Yu still only felt a sense of getting started. ——This morning, Fengling told him that some more telegrams had arrived, so Li Yu came to the study to handle matters.
When I came to my yard, I accidentally met Xiao Wang. He seemed to be in high spirits, dancing around in the cold weather and not wearing much.
Li Yu asked curiously: "Did you learn broadcast gymnastics when you were in Chongshi School?" Xiao Wang didn't dare to face Li Yu directly. He tilted his head and replied: "What, what is broadcast gymnastics?" Li Yu said: "It's just one Kind of sports activities in school." Then he remembered that he seemed to have only mentioned it to Kano Jigoro when he was at Hongbun School in Japan.
Xiao Wang said: "Sports activities, we do them at school... Well, I'm going to help dad with things." Xiao Wang ran away in a hurry.
Li Yu shook his head and didn't take it seriously. As soon as he sat down in the room, Li Yu felt that the table was inexplicably messy and wanted to clean it up, but Konoe Aki walked in with a cup of coffee.
"Sir, drinking coffee early is better for your energy." Li Yu felt that she was too enthusiastic, so he said: "The Bicheng girl can do these little things well. You don't need to worry about this. Instead, you should do a good job in starting the business." Recently. Wei Zhaoxue said: "Miss Bicheng went to see Mr. Yan Fu today, so I brewed coffee for you. Also, I have processed all the paperwork, and now I am waiting for the court's signature." Li Yu said: "With Mr. Xu Shichang's help, I don't think there will be any obstruction. Just keep pushing forward." Konoe Akiyuki said, "Okay." But after she finished speaking, she stood there and did not leave.
Not long after, there was a noise outside the mansion. Four officers and soldiers and seven Japanese gathered around the door and asked, "Is this Li Yu's residence?" Uncle Wang replied at the door: "That's right." The officers and soldiers said, "We have received a confirmed report that Li Yu and There is collusion with the rebel party, and I have been ordered to come and search." Uncle Wang was shocked: "Rebel?" The officer and soldier said: "Get out of the way!" Uncle Wang was at a loss: "I, I will tell the master." The officer and soldier said: "You don't need to tell us, we can just go in by ourselves." Zhao Qian and Fengling also heard the noise and came to the door.
Fengling had seen some things in the world and asked: "The search requires an official ticket, do you have any?" The officer and soldier took out a document with a big seal from his arms: "Did you see it? Get out of the way!" After speaking, the officers and soldiers swarmed in.
The Japanese followed immediately, and Xiao Zuoxiang was among them. Uncle Wang's son Xiao Wang was the first to enter the courtyard. Xiao Zuo Xiang looked at him and Xiao Wang nodded.
Xiao Zuoxiang was even more convinced that there was no problem. The officers, soldiers and Japanese came to the yard where Li Yu was and rushed to the study in a big way.
When Li Yu saw their appearance, some bad thoughts immediately flashed through his mind and he asked, "What are you doing?" The officers and soldiers looked at Li Yu's image, which had already had his hair cut, and said, "Sure enough, he looks a bit like a traitor to the party. He is still living in Mr. Rong's house." Li Yu said coldly: "Being a traitor to the Party does not mean that you are a traitor to the Party." The officers and soldiers walked into the study: "Is that true? You will find out after a search." Then he called to other officers and soldiers: "Brother Guys, search!" Konoe Aki suddenly stood in front: "What are you doing! Do you know he is the emperor's master?" The officers and soldiers said, "If nothing is found in the search, brothers will definitely kowtow to the emperor and admit their mistakes, but if they find something, ..." Konoe Akiyuki said: "No!" The officer and soldier said impatiently: "Little girl, do you have a say here?" He pushed Konoe Akiyuki away.
Konoe Akiyuki fell backwards, pushing a pile of books on the table with her right hand, and several letters scattered out.
The officers and soldiers picked it up, looked at it, and then said: "Liang Qichao's letter! Are you saying it's not a traitor to the party?" Li Yu's head was buzzing. He had no written communication with Liang Qichao at all.
The officers and soldiers said: "Master Emperor, could you please come with us to the Yamen." Then they asked the officers and soldiers to continue searching for other letters.
Another officer and soldier took out a letter: "What kind of writing is this?" Xiao Zuo Xiang behind him said: "It's from the Russians. Let me see...it's from Horvath, the director of the China Eastern Railway Administration." Li Yu's head buzzed again. Damn it, I don't know a few words in Russian, okay?
Absolute frame-up! But before he had time to resist, the Japanese ronin behind Xiao Zuo Xiang couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Russians? You actually tipped off the Russians?!" Most of the people present did not understand Russian, Xiao Zuo Xiang Xiang opened the letter in a decent manner, and then said: "Okay, in the letter Horvath said that thanks to Li Yu's intelligence, he saw through Japan's treacherous plot, and also captured and killed many Japanese spies."
"Kill?" a Japanese ronin behind said loudly,
"Could it be that your kid is responsible for the death of Ikeda-senpai and the others?"
"Ikeda-senpai!" The other Japanese ronin suddenly became excited,
"Baga! I'm going to kill you!" Xiao Zuo Xiang was also stunned. Why were they suddenly so excited? Seeing that the ronin really drew their swords, he quickly said: "Calm down, we have to take this matter back to the Yamen." ." The Japanese Ronin said: "I don't believe in the Qing court's yamen! Baga, let me tell you, why did Senior Ikeda suddenly die at the hands of a Russian dog after hiding for many years? It turned out to be your fault!" Li Yu and Xiao Zuo Xiang All looked confused.
Xiao Zuoxiang originally asked Postman Cui to fabricate the letter at will, and then asked Kawashima Naniwa to find some Japanese helpers for him.
Kawashima Naniwa also didn't know about the assassination in Harbin, so he randomly sent some Japanese ronin. Firstly, he was a ronin himself, and secondly, he could only find ronin.
Who knew it was such a coincidence! The Japanese Ronin was very excited and drew his katana. The Qing soldiers were a little scared when they saw that they were serious about it. The leading officers and soldiers said: "You, what do you want to do?" The Japanese ronin did not take the officers and soldiers seriously at all: "Go away, you Chinese officers and officers protect each other, if you let him enter the yamen Or jail, he will definitely go unpunished, I must let him beheaded today!" As expected, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and even Konoe Akiyuki did not expect these ronin who came to be so impulsive.
The leading Japanese Ronin raised his samurai sword and rushed into the study. There were several officers and soldiers in the room, but they did not dare to fight back or stop him when they saw the Japanese Ronin's crazy look.
Konoe Akira knew that Li Yu could not die casually and was of great value, so he was stunned for a moment in front of Li Yu and didn't know what to do.
The Japanese ronin didn't know that Konoe Akiyuki was Japanese. Seeing her standing in front of him, he raised his sword to chop her. Since the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese ronin living here have always been ruthless and ruthless, and they did not care about killing a few Chinese.
Of course, Li Yu knew the nature of the Japanese better than anyone else. In desperation, he pulled Konoe Akiyuki over, then grabbed a pen holder and threw it at the Japanese ronin.
The Japanese ronin slashed it with his sword, and the pen holder was cut in half. Then he raised the knife and slashed again. Li Yu had no choice but to grab the chair next to him to block it. One of the legs of the chair was instantly cut off.
The Japanese Ronin continued to attack after gaining the upper hand, and slashed with another knife, cutting off the chair legs and then scratching Li Yu's thigh.
Li Yu groaned in pain, but fortunately the chair blocked it, otherwise the leg would have been crippled, but he could no longer resist.
Seeing the Japanese sword raised again, Li Yu suddenly lost all hope. Am I going to die here so unjustly?
Fortunately, the savior finally arrived at the critical moment. Huo Yuanjia heard the commotion and had arrived in the courtyard. Seeing Li Yu's situation, he immediately picked up a brick in the courtyard and threw it, hitting the Japanese Ronin's Tsukiyo head.
This hit was very hard, and the Japanese Ronin was temporarily dizzy, so the sword did not cut down. Huo Yuanjia immediately broke off his palm, broke off a piece of another brick, and threw it at the other ronin.
The bricks are smaller and faster. As the bricks were thrown, several Japanese ronin were hit one after another. Taking advantage of this gap, Huo Yuanjia picked up a broom and jumped into the study from the window, blocking Li Yu.
Huo Yuanjia saw that Li Yu was still staying where he was, and yelled: "What are you doing standing there?! Forgot what I taught you? Thirty-six tactics are the best!" Li Yu knew that he was a burden here, and he didn't have a gun. The only way to escape is through the window.
He pulled Konoe Akiyuki and said, "Run quickly." Konoe Akiyuki looked at the blood flowing from Li Yu's leg and lost her sense of control. She did not move under Li Yu's pull.
Li Yu shouted: "Don't stand stupidly! It will only delay Huo Daxia." The Japanese Ronin rushed up again with his sword. Huo Yuanjia swung the broom, but was chopped down.
However, he was very adaptable, and then he pulled out a few bamboo joints from the broken broomstick, which turned out to be more useful than the broomstick.
Li Yu was injured in his thigh and climbed out of the window with the help of Konoe Akira. The target of the Japanese Ronin was Li Yu, and after a few rounds of fighting, they immediately realized that the man in front of him with the bamboo in his hand was a tough opponent, so he rushed towards Li Yu.
Huo Yuanjia then quickly dodged to the yard and continued to block in front of them, saying fiercely: "Little Japan, what is your ability to bully scholars? Get past grandpa first!" Li Yu could only choose to run away at this time, Zhao Qian was very strong , immediately rushed over and squatted down to carry Li Yu on his back,
"Master, let's run in the car." Zhao Qian came outside the yard, put Li Yu in the car, and then jumped into the driver's seat, but he couldn't start it and didn't know what was wrong.
Huo Yuanjia in the room didn't have any weapons, so he couldn't escape for a while. When the Japanese Ronin saw that Li Yu was about to run away, three people surrounded Huo Yuanjia while the other three continued to pursue.
Zhao Qian turned the key several times but could not start the car. Beads of sweat broke out on his forehead. In the blink of an eye, he saw his rickshaw.
He immediately jumped out of the car again,
"Sir, foreigners' things are unreliable, they have to be my legs!" He helped Li Yu onto the rickshaw, then ran away.
The Japanese ronin were already on the street, hot on their heels. Zhao Qian felt like his small universe exploded. He looked back at the pursuing Japanese and said loudly: "Come on! It's enough! I'll let you know what 'a puff of smoke' in the capital means!"
