"Ta Kung Pao" published a notice to challenge the Japanese. This was also rare news and immediately attracted attention.
The Japanese in the Japanese Concession in Tianjin immediately started making noises when they saw it. Regardless of whether it was true or not, 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 on 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 most precious 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 cannot compete in intelligence, but we are not afraid of the sick man of East Asia in the group competition!"
Fang Yaoyu twitched the corner of his mouth. These people were indeed warriors. If the Japanese in the embassy saw him, they would definitely not say words like "sick men of East Asia" to his face.
However, he also knew that ordinary Japanese people would not treat him normally, and they 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 Yaoyu said calmly: "I understand, I will publish it in the newspaper."
——
Not only did the Japanese see it, but Nong Jinsun of 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 Japanese warriors, 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 bird eggs should get out of here as soon as possible."
Huo Yuanjia also really wanted to visit the capital. He spent most of his time in Tianjin. Finally, he had the opportunity to go to the capital. He might even become famous, so he would 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 before, and he was very surprised after getting on one: "It turns out that 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 a car.
Huo Yuanjia was greatly surprised: "The Emperor's brain is really good!"
Li Yu smiled and said: "When you took the train, you should have passed by a factory area. That will be the factory in the future, and it will be able to be exported overseas."
Huo Yuanjia praised: "Master Emperor really makes us proud."
Arriving at Li Yu's residence, Huo Yuanjia never expected that Li Yu's house was so big, almost like a royal 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 a hard work, and ordinary scholars with thin skin and tender flesh will find it difficult to resist.
"
Li Yu said: "I just learned something to defend myself."
Huo Yuanjia said: "Simply 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 give me some advice."
Huo Yuanjia said word for 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: "Master Emperor, 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 suitable for you, because your
Life is more precious than taking risks by fighting."
What Huo Yuanjia said is very reasonable, but when Li Yu saw Huang Feihong, how could a person like Huo Yuanjia not have itchy hands? I don’t know how many martial arts TV series and martial arts movies I have watched since I was a child. If I don’t teach you how to use hands today, you won’t know how to do it.
Let him go.
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 Emperor Master a few moves of Mizong Fist. This is Huo's special skill. It is not difficult to learn, but it takes time to master it."
Li Yu didn't expect Huo Yuanjia to show off his unique skills when he came up, and he was moved and said: "I will definitely practice hard!"
Huo Yuanjia took two steps back and took a stance.
Like Huang Feihong, a person who practices 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. While practicing boxing, he said: "This boxing technique emphasizes softness with strength, stepping like a cat, and moving as fast as 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 Nian, so in view of what the Emperor Master wants, I think a pre-emptive move is more suitable, so that I can wait for an opportunity to escape."
What Huo Yuanjia said before was very impressive, but the last four words "waiting for an opportunity to escape" almost made Li Yu break his guard.
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: "It's not bad. Fortunately, your physical fitness is in place. 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, and he could learn slowly. Unlike when he first found Huang Feihong, he was too pressed for time.
Even so, after two or three days, Li Yu still only felt a sense of getting started.
——
That 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. He was dancing there in the cold weather and didn't wear much.
Li Yu asked curiously: "Did you learn radio gymnastics when you were in Chongshi School?"
Xiao Wang didn't dare to face Li Yu directly, so he tilted his head and replied: "What, what is radio gymnastics?"
Li Yu said: "It is a kind of sports activity in school."
Then I remembered that I seemed to have only mentioned it to Jigoro Kano when he was at Hongbun School in Japan.
Xiao Wang said: "Sports activities, we do them in 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 in the morning is better for you."
Li Yu felt that she was too enthusiastic, so he said: "Bicheng girls 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."
Konoe Akiyuki 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 the help of Mr. Xu Shichang, I don't think there will be any obstruction. You 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 people gathered around the door and asked, "Is this Li Yu's residence?"
Uncle Wang replied at the gate: "Exactly."
The officers and soldiers said: "We have received a confirmed report that Li Yu has colluded with the rebel party, and we have been ordered to come and search."
Uncle Wang was shocked: "Rebel the Party?"
The officers and soldiers said: "Get out of the way!"
Uncle Wang was at a loss: "I, I'll go tell the master."
The officers and soldiers said: "You don't need to tell us, we will just go in by ourselves."
Zhao Qian and Fengling also heard the noise and came to the door. Fengling had seen some of the world and asked, "You need an official ticket for the search, do you have it?"
The officer and soldier took out a document with a large seal from his arms: "Did you see it? Stop blocking the way!"
After speaking, the officers and soldiers rushed in.
The Japanese immediately followed in, and little Zuo Xiang was among them.
Uncle Wang's son Xiao Wang entered the yard first. 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 asked, "What are you doing?"
The officers and soldiers looked at the image of Li Yu, who had already cut his hair, and said: "Sure enough, he looks a bit like a traitor to the party, and he is still living in Lord Rong's house."
Li Yu said coldly: "Just because you rebel against the party doesn't mean you rebel against the party."
The officers and soldiers walked into the study: "Is it true? You can find out by searching."
Then he called to other officers and soldiers: "Brothers, 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, the brothers will definitely kowtow to the emperor and admit their mistakes, but if they are found..."
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 betrayal of the party?"
Li Yu's head was buzzing. He had no written correspondence with Liang Qichao at all.
The officers and soldiers said: "Master Imperial, could you please come with us to the Yamen?"
Then the officers and soldiers were asked to continue searching for other letters.
Another officer and soldier took out a letter: "What kind of writing is this?"
Little Zuo Xiang in the back said: "It's from the Russians. Let me see...it was sent from Horvat, the director of the China Eastern Railway Administration."
Li Yu's head buzzed again. Damn it, I don't know a few words of Russian, okay? This is absolutely framed!
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 opened the letter in a decent manner and said: "Okay, in the letter Horvat said that thanks to Li Yu's intelligence, he discovered the Japanese conspiracy and arrested him.
And killed many Japanese spies."
"Killing?" a Japanese ronin from behind said loudly, "Is it possible that your kid was responsible for the deaths of Ikeda-senpai and others?"
"Ikeda-senpai!" The other Japanese ronin suddenly became excited, "Bagaya! I'm going to kill you!"
Xiao Zuo Xiang was stunned for a moment. Why were they suddenly so excited? Seeing that the rogues were really drawing their swords, he quickly said: "Calm down, we have to take this matter back to the Yamen to discuss."
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 both 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 pay attention to the officers and soldiers at all: "Go away, you Chinese officers and officers protect each other. If you let him enter the yamen or prison, he will definitely go unpunished. I must let him have his head removed today!"
As expected, the plan couldn't keep up with the change. Even Konoe Akiyuki didn't expect these ronin to be so impulsive.
The leading Japanese ronin rushed into the study with his samurai sword raised high. 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 Aki 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 her, she raised her sword to chop her. Since the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese ronin living here have always been ruthless and ruthless, and they didn't care about killing a few Chinese.
Of course, Li Yu knew the nature of Japanese people 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. A leg 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 legs of the chair 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 already arrived in the courtyard. Seeing Li Yu's situation, he immediately picked up a brick from the courtyard and threw it, hitting the Japanese Ronin's Tsukiyo head.
The blow was so heavy that the Japanese Ronin was temporarily dizzy and could not cut it with the knife.
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 still?! Forgot what I taught you? Thirty-six strategies are the best!"
Li Yu knew that he was a burden here, and he didn't have a gun with him, so he had no choice but to escape through the window.
He grabbed Konoe Akiyuki and said, "Run quickly."
Konoe Aki watched the blood flowing from Li Yu's leg, and she lost her sense of control. Li Yu pulled her and she didn't move.
Li Yu shouted: "Stop standing stupidly! It will only delay Master Huo."
The Japanese ronin rushed up again with a knife. Huo Yuanjia swung the broom, but was chopped down.
However, he was very adaptable, so 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 Aki.
The target of the Japanese Ronin was Li Yu, and after several 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, continued to block in front of them, and said 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 and immediately rushed over, knelt down and carried Li Yu on his back, "Master, let's run away 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 him.
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 and said, "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 it means to be 'smooth' in the capital!"
