Inside the hotel, Tang Rui had long taken off the Poison Armor and returned to his room.
Looking at Niu Niu, who was still sleeping soundly, he heaved a sigh of relief. He had wasted some time, but fortunately, he was not awake.
"Where did you go? The sudden sound of gunfire from the south, is it related to you?”
As soon as Tang Rui returned, he smelled the fragrance and asked impatiently. He was a person with a strong curiosity and a gossipy heart. Tang Rui brought back a little girl without saying a word, and then went out without saying a word as if he had done something big. It made him impatient to know what was going on.
"Shh…Let's talk outside."
Tang Rui glanced at Niu Niu, afraid that she would be woken up, so he called Wen Xiang out to talk.
"When I went out for a stroll today…"
Tang Rui told Wen Xiang about what happened today. When he heard about Niu Niu and his brother, he was so angry that he subconsciously scratched the railing he was holding.
When he found out that Tang Rui had just gone out to slaughter the Ping Zheng 218 Troop, a smile returned to his face. Although it was a pity that Tang Rui did not bring him along, he was just saying it. He was far from reaching the level of fighting one hundred, let alone when the enemy was armed with excellent weapons.
If he went, it would be like beating a dog with a meat bun. He would only go and never return.
"We have to leave early tomorrow morning. The Japanese army is not far from Shanhaiguan. I believe that it won't be long before we get the news of the massacre of Ping Zheng Unit 218. It will probably take less than two days for their army to arrive.”
Wen Xiang rubbed his temples. He was a little tired from the journey. He originally wanted to stroll around Shanhaiguan with Tang Rui for two days, but now there was no chance.
"Yes, but I'll buy some clothes for Niuniu tomorrow. I didn't expect…I also have a younger sister!”
Tang Rui clenched his fists as if he wanted to grab something or hold something back.
He had been alone since he was young and had no one to rely on. He was the only reliable companion.
He had already lost the last person who had been good to him. This sister who had suddenly appeared…He did not want to experience the feeling of losing her again.
Smelling Fragrance patted Tang Rui's shoulder and revealed his usual wicked smile. Buy something good for our sister before setting off.”
……
The next day, the entire Shanhaiguan was spreading a piece of news. The peddlers, the idlers in the teahouses, and the restaurants were all talking about it. The Japanese army's Pingzheng Unit 218 in Shanhaiguan had been destroyed. That scene was bloody and cruel, and it scared people to death...
However, no one was afraid. They wanted to see this scene with their own eyes.
In the past, no matter who or what happened to such a cruel scene, everyone would condemn and curse the person who created such a cruel scene. However, when the target was the Japanese army, everyone clapped and cheered.
No one had thought of sending a message to the Japanese troops stationed elsewhere. No one had the intention.
He would continue to live his life as if he didn't know anything. He would wait for the Japanese army to find out and deal with it.
……
"Niu Niu, we're going to a very beautiful place now. There will be beautiful snowflakes and plum blossoms there, and there will be a lot of delicious food."
"Brother?" Niu Niu turned her head to look at Tang Rui, who was hugging her, to confirm if what Smells Fragrance said was true.
"Yes, Brother Wenxiang didn't lie to you.”
Tang Rui patted her head with a smile and gave her an affirmative look.
"Wow, Niu Niu, you can't do this ~ You listen to your brother, you don't even believe Brother Wenxiang's words.”
Smelling the Fragrance, he pretended to be heartbroken and continued to tease Niu Niu.
He liked this little girl very much. She was so quiet that it made one's heart ache. She would only return to normal when she was facing Tang Rui.
Because she knew that Tang Rui was her brother, her only relative. This was what her brother told her when she went to find her mother, although she also wanted to go with her brother.
Smelling the fragrance made the little girl happy all the way, but the effect was minimal. No matter what he said, Niuniu would look at Tang Rui in the end and judge whether what he said was true or not…
It was very uncomfortable, but he was now familiar with Niu Niu. At least, after Tang Rui agreed, she was willing to eat his food and listen to him. This was a great encouragement for Sniffing Fragrance.
When Tang Rui and the other two arrived at Fengtian, it was already late autumn, and it was almost winter.
Fengtian was the place where Manchuria flourished. It was also the burial place of the two emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Taizu and Taizong. Therefore, Emperor Kangxi changed Shengjing to Fengtian in the fourth year of Kangxi to show that he did not forget his roots and remembered Taizu and Taizong.
As early as 1932, the three eastern provinces had already fallen into the hands of the Japanese Empire. Now, Fengtian was the center of the puppet Manchuria, which could also be said to be the world of the Japanese Kwantung Army.
There were many factions in Fengtian, some of which held high positions in the Manchurian Empire's military, and some of which were led by Fu Yi's personal guards.
This place could be said to be the center of the vortex. Tang Rui chose to come here because he wanted to achieve another goal other than visiting Old Master Gong.
He wanted to spread his martial arts in this world, in the Divine Continent!
Since there was a chance to come, why not do something crazy?!
Joining the army as a general and establishing a country was not something he could do, nor was it what he wanted. He was just a martial artist.
What did martial artists want? The martial dao in the world was flourishing. Everyone practiced martial arts, and everyone was like a dragon. Creating an era of martial dao to be respected by everyone was what Tang Rui wanted.
How? His current reputation was far from enough. Just his current reputation in the Chinese martial arts world was already zero, let alone to the entire Chinese martial arts world. He was like a drop of ink that had dripped into the ocean, completely unaffected.
The reputation he needed was a reputation that everyone admired and yearned for. At that time, there was no need to deliberately spread it. Martial arts would become something that everyone yearned to learn.
Fengtian had the conditions and timing he needed. He only needed to wait for the time to come! As soon as he got off the train station, Tang Rui saw a familiar figure. A thin figure wrapped in a black robe stood in the wind with his hands behind his back. He was still so cold and indifferent, and his temperament did not change at all.
"Greetings, sir. My father is waiting for you at home. He specially asked me to welcome you and lead the way.”
Gong Er's personality had become indifferent. He was no longer as arrogant and heroic as he had been in Buddha Mountain. He was eager to protect the Gong family and his father's reputation.
Presumably, after Tang Rui left, she still challenged Ye Wen to a battle and gained a lot from the battle with Ye Wen.
It was natural for Gong Er to fall in love with Ye Wen. Gong Er was young and full of vigor, seeking victory rather than perfection, while Ye Wen was a modest gentleman who was at ease even if he had to fight against everyone.
Before the age of forty, he did not have to worry about food and clothing. Not only could he win, but he could also seek perfection. This was the perfect state in Gong Er's eyes.
During the kung fu competition, Ye Wen even reached out to grab her wrist when Gong Er fell down the stairs. It was unknown whether it was out of protection for Jin Lou, or out of pity for Gong Er, or both. This pull seemed to have taken her soul away, and she still couldn't forget it even after parting.
After the incident in Buddha Mountain, Gong Er returned to Fengtian. After that, the two of them lived two lives.
Gong Er returned to Fengtian, while Ye Wen stayed in Guangdong.
Life in the northeast was blue lakes, cold white forests and snow, and similarly cold white plum blossoms piled with snow. It was cold here, and the background sound of life seemed to be only the cold wind.
Life in Guangdong was like an exquisite pavilion, with dark wooden floors, furniture, and table lamps. The fine southern sounds of Cantonese opera were floating everywhere, so exquisite that it even had a decadent atmosphere.
Ye Wen and Gong Er exchanged letters and had originally decided to meet, but they were separated by the war.
In fact, the so-called crushing of individuals by the great times was nothing more than this.
The relationship between the two of them had yet to begin, but it had already been buried in the surging torrent of the times. Before it could even rise, it had already disappeared.
Thoughts had always been something comparable to the speed of light. It was infinitely big and infinitely small, infinitely fast and infinitely slow, infinitely far and infinitely close. Tang Rui thought of a lot with just one thought.
"Thank you, Second Mister Gong! This is Smelling Fragrance, my good friend. This is my sister, Niu Niu. Niu Niu, this is Sister Gong."
Tang Rui introduced Wen Xiang and Niu Niu to Gong Er.
"Sis…Sister." Niu Niu meowed softly like a mosquito, then timidly hugged Tang Rui's calf and hid behind him, very afraid of strangers.
Tang Rui smiled and lowered his body to embrace Niu Niu. He rubbed her head, messing up her hair and warming her heart.
Wen Xiang looked on enviously. He wanted to hug Niu Niu as well. Niu Niu was very cute. Her big eyes were very intelligent, and she was as pitiful as a porcelain doll.
However, as soon as he reached out his hand, Niu Niu ran towards Tang Rui and refused to let him hug her. It made him extremely depressed.
"Greetings, Second Mister Gong. I smell the fragrance. My master is Chen Ang of the Baji Sect of Sichuan and Shu. I've long heard of Second Mister Gong's great name!”Wen Xiang cupped his hands together and said solemnly.
At this moment, he was a martial artist, not a scholar from a scholarly family.
When interacting with people from different circles, one had to abide by the rules of the circle. Once one entered the circle, one would be a member of the circle. If one broke the rules, the consequences would be very serious.
Gong Er recalled his master's name. Chen Ang was a famous boxing master in Sichuan. He had visited the Gong family in his early years and had countless interactions with Gong Baosen, so Gong Er remembered Chen Ang.
Gong Er also returned the greeting." Mr. Wen, you're too polite. There are eight extremes in the Nine States between heaven and earth. The Eight Extremities Fist and Kick are strong and powerful, and it contains a profound meaning. I've seen Master Chen's elegance in my early years. Gong Er admires him.”
When Wen Xiang heard Gong Er praise his master, he instantly laughed like a 150-pound fool."Hahaha, Second Mister Gong is too polite. I believe this old man will be very happy to hear Second Mister Gong's praise.”
Gong Er smiled and did not say anything. He turned to look at Niu Niu in Tang Rui's arms and smiled even more. "Mister's sister is really cute. It's a pity that I didn't get to see her in Buddha Mountain. Hello, Niu Niu."
Gong Er could tell that he liked children very much. At the very least, his love for Niu Niu could not be faked. He patted Niu Niu's head and changed his cold tone to greet Niu Niu gently.
"I was in a hurry last time, so I didn't bring Niuniu with me. It's normal that Second Master Gong didn't see her."”
"Sir, please! Mr. Wen, please!" Gong Er waved his hand, and the Gong family disciples behind him pulled three carriages over. They greeted the two of them and then the three of them rode to the Gong family.
