"Eldest Senior Brother, let's go back now.”Huo Ting 'en felt relieved after he had untied the knot in his heart.
"You want to leave just like that?" Tang Shan glared at Huo Ting 'en in disappointment, then turned to Xiao Hong and asked,""Miss, what's your name?"
Xiao Hong had personally witnessed Tang Shan's magnanimity and was very respectful towards him. She immediately replied,""My original name is Su Lan. After I arrived at Spring Fragrance Yard, my mother gave me another name, Xiao Hong.”
Tang Shan nodded." Then I'll call you Miss Sulan. How long have you known Tingen?"”
"Two years."
"Two years is not a short time.”After a pause, Tang Shan continued," Miss Sulan, my master has just left, and I am just like Tingen's elder brother. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. Therefore, I have overstepped my authority to manage Tingen's affairs. I hope you don't mind."”
"I don't dare."
Tang Shan continued," I can see that you have some feelings for Tingen, and Tingen is also infatuated with you. Therefore, I am here to propose marriage to you on behalf of Tingen. If you agree, I will immediately redeem you. What do you think?"”
Hearing Tang Shan's words, Xiao Hong was shocked.""Mr. Tang, you mean…"
Huo Tingen, who was standing beside him, was also surprised and delighted." Eldest Senior Brother…"
Tang Shan nodded again." How is it? Are you willing to marry Tingen?"”
"I'm willing, I'm willing, Su Lan is willing! Thank you, Mr. Tang, for your great kindness. I really…really can't repay you!”After confirming Tang Shan's words, Xiao Hong cried tears of joy and immediately knelt in front of Tang Shan.
Tang Shan quickly helped her up." Since that's the case, you'll be my sister-in-law from now on. There's no need to be so polite."”Then, he turned to Huo Ting 'en and said,"What are you still standing there for? Quickly call the brothel madame over. I'll redeem Miss Su Lan.”
"Yes, yes, thank you, Eldest Senior Brother!" Hottingen, who was immersed in the great surprise, finally came back to his senses and hurriedly ran to call the brothel madame.
Tang Shan already had 100 yuan in start-up funds. In addition, the brothel keeper of Spring Fragrance Yard was more tactful, so there were no setbacks in redeeming Su Lan. It only cost 70 yuan to complete the matter.
After that, Tang Shan brought Huo Ting 'en and Su Lan back to the Jingwu Sect. The night passed without a word.
The next day, the disciples of the Essence Martial Sect had just finished their morning exercise and were about to eat breakfast when a junior brother suddenly came to report,""Senior Brother, a few Japanese are here.”
Tang Shan had yet to express his stance when they heard this news, but the disciples were immediately in an uproar.
"What?! The Japanese actually dared to come to our Jingwu Sect!”
"Grab your weapons and kill them!"
"Yes, avenge Master! Kill these Japanese!"
Tang Shan could understand their reaction. After all, Huo Yuanjia was killed by the Japanese. Although the cause of death had yet to be determined, it was a fact that Huo Yuanjia had been severely injured by the Japanese in the arena. Therefore, the people of the Jingwu Sect had unconsciously placed this hatred on the Japanese.
"Calm down!"
Tang Shan stood up and looked around at the crowd, immediately suppressing their anger. "We are the Jingwu Sect, not a gang. Even if we want to take revenge, we must be fair and square." Look at what you guys are like now. You're just like a group of hooligans. You're simply throwing the face of the Essence Martial Sect.”
After being scolded by Tang Shan, the disciples of the Elite Martial Sect immediately looked ashamed and lowered their heads in silence.
" I know you can't take this lying down," Tang Shan said." This is a good thing. But the Japanese who came today are mostly here to answer the challenge." In the old saying, when two armies fought, they did not kill the messenger. The Japanese are animals. They can ignore this rule, but we, the people of the Jingwu Sect, must abide by it. Think about it carefully. If we make things difficult for these Japanese today, what difference will there be between us and the Japanese?”
At this point, Tang Shan stopped.""Alright, eat in peace. Leave these Japanese to me.”
After saying that, he turned around and left the dining table.
When he arrived at the entrance, he saw three Japanese samurai in martial arts suits. However, there were faint bruises on their faces. It was obvious that they had been taught a lesson not long ago.
Seeing Tang Shan come out, the three Japanese samurais were shocked. It turned out that Tang Shan had caused a ruckus at Hongkou Dojo yesterday, and they happened to be among them.
As the saying goes, observing the expressions of the three Japanese samurai, Tang Shan already understood. He had thought that the Japanese who believed in the spirit of Bushido were all very tough, but he did not expect them to be so.
Tang Shan then asked in disdain,""What are you doing here? Are you here to reply to the challenge?"
"Yes, our Akutagawa Ryuichi Dojo Master has accepted your challenge. However, he wishes to postpone the date of the challenge to seven days later." Master Chuan Yue, the head instructor of our Black Dragon Gang, is also very interested in this battle. He will arrive in Shanghai in five days.”
Hearing this, Tang Shan's heart skipped a beat.""That old bastard, Funeyue Wenfu, has finally come, but it's even better that he's here. This old man is the founder of Songtaoliu Karate and has unparalleled influence in the Japanese martial arts world. If he comes to watch this battle, it will definitely cause a huge reaction. I don't even need to deliberately promote it.”
" Alright," Tang Shan said." Go back and tell Akutagawa Ryuichi that I'll give him seven days. Tell him not to miss the appointment."”
"Ha Yi!"
After completing the mission, the three samurai returned to the Hongkou Dojo. There was no arrogance in the entire process. On the contrary, there was a little respect for Tang Shan. In fact, this was the nature of the Japanese. They had always respected the strong and believed that the weak were prey to the strong. As long as they were stronger than him, he would respect them more.
In the next few days, Tang Shan arranged for the disciples of Jingwu Sect to print the challenge into flyers and distribute them to every corner of Shanghai. And he himself had even accepted an interview with Shanghai's Shen Bao, writing a big story about the challenge. Although the challenge was bound to become more popular with Funakoshi Fumio as a gimmick, Tang Shan still wanted to further expand the matter.
The reason why Tang Shan did this was not because he wanted fame and fortune, but because he felt the current situation in China and wanted to use this to promote the spirit of martial arts and awaken the sleeping lion in China.
With the continuous reports of Shen Bao, the revenge battle between Jingwu Sect and Hongkou Dojo was pushed to the forefront. Although it had not yet started, it had already become well-known. The eyes of the Chinese martial arts world were also focused on this.
At this moment, it was the fifth day before the challenge. In the Chinese Martial Arts Association, martial masters from various sects had already quarreled. The source of their quarrel was the challenge of Jingwu Sect to Hongkou Dojo.
"Hmph, this Elite Martial Arts Sect is getting more and more out of hand. If they want revenge, then so be it. They even publicize it so that everyone knows about it. If they lose, not only will they lose face, but even our Chinese martial arts world will lose its reputation!”
The person who spoke was a burly middle-aged man. He wore a tiger fur coat and held two iron balls in his hands. He looked extremely dignified. This person was none other than the leader of the Golden Tiger Hall, Cai Jinhu.
The leader of the White Crane Sect, Deng Tian, said," Master Cai, you can't say that. There are two sides to everything. If the Jingwu Sect can defeat the Hongkou Dojo this time, then the martial arts world will also be honored."”
Liu Ruohai, the leader of the Great Sage Chopping Hanging Sect, echoed,""I can't say for others, but if Master Tang of the Essence Martial Sect takes part, he'll definitely win. After all, the blood kirin isn't just for show.”
"I don't think so!" " Even Huo Yuanjia was killed by the Japanese," the leader of the White Eyebrow Fist School said." No matter how impressive Tang Shan is, how can he defeat his master, Huo Yuanjia?"”
"That's right, I also think that this battle is very close!" Cai Lifo, the leader of the Tan family, echoed.”
For a time, the leaders of the various sects were divided into two factions, each holding on to their own words and arguing endlessly.
At this moment, President Ma of the Chinese Martial Arts Association said,""Masters, please listen to me!”
Chairman Ma came from the Taiji Xing Yi Sect and was a disciple of the number one master in the world, Grandmaster Sun Lutang. He was well-known in the Chinese martial arts world. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone gradually quieted down.
Chairman Ma continued," Master Huo from the Jingwu Sect has defeated the Russian strongman many times. He has added a lot of color to our Chinese martial arts world. His death is definitely a great loss to our Chinese martial arts world." Now, his disciple, Tang Shan, has started a war of revenge. This matter is understandable for us martial artists, but the bad thing is that this matter has caused too much trouble and implicated too many people. That's why everyone is gathered here today. Regardless of what the teachers are discussing, I personally support this battle.”
"President Ma, you…"
Hearing President Ma's words, the Martial Masters of the opposition could not sit still.
Chairman Ma raised his hand to interrupt the Martial Master and continued,""Tang Shan, this young man, I have dealt with him a few years ago. He is a very insightful young man. He is very tough, but his temper is a little strong. After a few years of training, he must have restrained himself. Moreover, I heard that not long ago, a few masters went to the Jingwu Sect to spar with him. They should have some experience!”
Upon hearing this, the martial masters who had been defeated by Tang Shan immediately revealed awkward expressions.
After a moment of awkwardness, Master Qi of the Spiritual Monkey Sect chimed in,"That's right, Master Tang of the Essence Martial Sect. Regardless of martial arts or character, I, Old Qi, am the first to admire him.”
Once Master Qi of the Spiritual Monkey Sect spoke up to help, the martial masters who had been convinced by Tang Shan also spoke up one after another. Thus, the votes for approval eventually surpassed the votes against. Then, Chairman Ma sent out invitations in the name of the Chinese Martial Arts Association, inviting all colleagues in the martial arts world to come and help.
On the other side, in the hall of the Japanese military headquarters in Shanghai, a burly man in military uniform was kneeling with a gloomy face. He closed his eyes and remained silent. On his left and right, two rows of soldiers were kneeling in silence.
