Yu Chunqiu redefined his relationship with himself and Lord Gu. If it was an employment relationship before, then it was a cooperative relationship now.

Yu Chunqiu is the master, and Lord Gu is still the boss in name. But it is Yu Chunqiu who is actually in power.

If Lord Gu loses Yu Chunqiu, he will immediately return to his previous crisis. Yu Chunqiu does not have the "signature" of the magistrate Gu, and some things will not be so smooth to do.

After all, you have to be legitimate when doing anything.

People who are involved in the officialdom are very sensitive. Mr. Gu has already noticed that his relationship with Yu Chunqiu has undergone subtle changes.

When the first batch of dock workers and people lived in low-rent housing, Yu Chunqiu immediately gained nearly 20,000 public opinion points.

Yu Chunqiu thought to himself: "Why is the public opinion gained so much this time? But I just lived in 300 households."

After checking the power system, Yu Chunqiu realized that the gratitude of the people is also layered. Giveting some money to the people can solve the people's urgent needs, but the lives of the people will not change.

Yu Chunqiu's buying land to build low-rent housing completely changed the living environment of dock workers and the people, allowing them to no longer struggle in shacks and slums, but allowed them to live in spacious big houses.

Although rent is paid every month, the rent fee is completely within the affordability of dock workers and the people.

In other words, Yu Chunqiu improved their quality of life and gave them hope and hope.

Therefore, even though it only benefited 300 households for the time being, Yu Chunqiu received more public opinion and good deeds than ever before.

...

Had lunch.

Chen Zhen did not go to Jingwu Sect to practice martial arts, but instead pestered Yu Chunqiu to agree to him to attend the fighting conference.

Yu Chunqiu said: "No."

Chen Zhen asked, "Why can't it be? My martial arts are growing very fast, and I'm almost catching up with my senior brother. I feel that I am fully capable of going to the arena to fight against foreigners."

Yu Chunqiu glanced at Chen Zhen and said, "You have just turned 16 and have practiced martial arts for less than half a year. If you have to go to the ring in a few years, I completely agree, but it is not possible now. You have practiced martial arts for too short and lacked experience in fighting."

Chen is a good seedling. Not only is he talented in martial arts practice, but he is also very good at studying.

Yu Chunqiu invited Mr. Chen and two Western teachers to Chen Zhen. Not only did Chen Zhen practice martial arts, but he was also studying, and both Chinese and Western cultures were learning.

Perhaps it was influenced by Yu Chunqiu that only by learning scientific knowledge can one save the country. Chen Zhen was good at math and physics.

Yu Chunqiu didn't want Chen Zhen to be destroyed when he went to the ring.

Chen Zhen said: "Sir, when I get to the ring, I can learn a lot of fighting experience. Don't worry, if I lose, I will give in immediately and there will be no problem."

Yu Chunqiu said: "Do your master agree to you attend the fighting conference? If he agrees, I have nothing to say."

Chen Zhen sighed.

Huo Yuanjia must have disagreed with him attending the fighting conference. Otherwise, Chen Zhen would not have come to find Yu Chunqiu.

Yu Chunqiu said, "Go back and practice boxing well and study hard. I have something to do when I go to the yamen."

Chen Zhen said, "Yes, sir. I'll go to Jingwumen to practice boxing now. By the way, sir, my master has been very close to a Japanese these days. That Japanese came to Jingwumen to find his master to have tea almost every day."

Yu Chunqiu frowned: "Japanese?"

Chen Zhen nodded and said, "Well. This Japanese is quite powerful, it seems to be called An Tanaka..."

Yu Chunqiu said: "Tanaka Ano."

Chen Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, it's called Ano Tanaka."

...

After dealing with the matter in the yamen.

Yu Chunqiu came to Jingwu Gate.

Tanaka Ando is actually there too.

Huo Yuanjia said happily: "Mr. Yu, you are here. Let me introduce to you, this is Tanaka Ano, who is from the Japanese Nine Ghosts and Gods. He is here to participate in the World Fighting Conference on behalf of the Japanese martial arts world."

Tanaka Ano stood up, bowed to Yu Chunqiu and said, "Mr. Yu, Master Huo is highly praised. I think you must be a master. In Shimochi Ano, please give me some advice."

Tanaka Ano and Huo Yuanjia exchanged martial arts. Both of them had experiences, which were mutually beneficial.

However, Tanaka Ano did not show his tricks.

On the contrary, Huo Yuanjia was openly publicized to Tanaka Anno and almost did not hide it.

During the communication, Huo Yuanjia said that he was not the most powerful person.

In Shanghai, the strongest person may be Yu Chunqiu.

Yu Chunqiu said, "Mr. Tanaka, I am just a scholar, a small yamen master. Just give me some advice."

Tanaka Ano said: "Mr. Yu is here, and he must have something to discuss with Master Huo. I will say goodbye first. Mr. Yu, Master Huo, I will come to ask for advice next time."

Tanaka Ano walked out of the Jingwu Sect.

Huo Yuanjia said: "Mr. Yu, you don't seem to have a good impression of Mr. Tanaka. Has he offended you?"

Yu Chunqiu shook his head and said, "He did not offend me. It's not that I don't have a good impression of Tanaka Ano, I just don't like Japanese. Master Huo, I want to remind you that whether it's Westerners or Easterners, they are all ambitions. They come to China, not to be friends with you. You'd better be careful."

Yu Chunqiu could see that Huo Yuanjia admired Tanaka Anno very much and was not wary of it.

If Huo Yuanjia had this mentality, it would be very unfavorable to compete with Tanaka Anno.

Huo Yuanjia said: "Mr. Yu, I think Tanaka Ano is a pure warrior. Although some of his martial arts ideas are not recognized."

Yu Chunqiu sneered: "Pure warrior? How pure do you think Tanaka Ano can be?"

Regardless of whether Tanaka Ano is a pure warrior or not, first of all, he is a Japanese.

Japanese martial arts include military tactics, which include the art of attacking the heart.

God knows whether it is a psychological tactic for Tanaka Annora to communicate martial arts with Huo Yuanjia.

Yu Chunqiu has reminded Huo Yuanjia, hoping that he can listen to it and not lose himself in the face of big troubles.

...

The World Fighting Conference has officially begun.

Yu Chunqiu, Lord Gu, and the county magistrate, represented the official yamen.

Huo Yuanjia and Master Wu represent the Shanghai martial arts world. Nong Jinsun and Qin Ye were sitting next to Huo Yuanjia, and they were here to cheer for Huo Yuanjia.

Mr. Zhang, Mr. Cai, Mr. Feng and others represent the Shanghai business community.

The consular officials of the foreigners' constituents, capitalists, and major newspapers and media were present.

The entire venue was full.

The referee read out the opening speech and fighting rules of the fighting conference on the ring.

In fact, there are no fighting rules at all. It is a real unlimited fighting.

"The first fighting game will be fought against the Shanghai martial arts world by the Japanese Concession. Please send players to the court immediately."

Fighters can temporarily determine the appearance.

This adds uncertainty.

Neither Huo Yuanjia nor Bajiquan Master Wu stood up.

In the first game, they had no intention of playing in person.

Yu Chunqiu sat on the chair with a calm expression on his face.

Master Liang from Mantis Boxing Gym said: "Master Huo, Master Wu, let me come in the first game. I will meet the Japanese martial arts masters for a while."

Master Wu nodded and said, "Okay. Then Master Liang will fight in the first game."

Master Liang said, "You can just see. I will definitely get the first prize."

Master Liang jumped twice in a row, and stood in a cool position on the ring with a straightforward flip. Master Liang's appearance caused cheers from the Chinese in the venue.

Master Liang hugged and clasped his fists around him.

Tanaka Ano held the samurai sword, and was not impatient, and walked onto the ring step by step. His appearance method was not like a master, which caused a sigh in the audience.

The referee asked: "May I ask, are you two preparing to fight with bare hands or weapons?"

Tanaka Ano said, "I want to compare weapons."

Master Liang nodded and said, "Then let me bring my two swords according to you."

A disciple from the Mantis Boxing Gym threw two short knives up: "Master, take the weapon."

Master Liang got the short knife, signed a life-and-death case, and put on a boxing posture and said, "Young man, come on."

Tanaka Ano slowly walked towards Master Liang.

The two gathered less than five meters away, and Tanaka Ano stopped.

Five steps are a very critical distance.

Advance can attack, retreat can defend.

Master Liang took the lead in launching the attack.

The attack of Mantis Fist is to win by speed, especially the elbow technique, which is very powerful. With two short swords, Master Liang's attack power has reached a higher level.

The two short knives are as sharp as the front paws of a mantis.

Sudden.

Tanaka Ano moved.

Yu Chunqiu had sharp eyes and stared at the ring without turning his eyes, and said in his heart: "Master Liang is finished."

Tanaka Ano took a step back, drew his sword, and went further.

This retreat and advancement have a very good grasp of the timing.

In addition, the speed of drawing the knife is fast, and the action is done in one go.

The two passed by each other.

Tanaka Ano stood up straight and the samurai sword slowly returned to the sheath.
Chapter completed!
