Chapter 55: Grandson Japanese Sword vs Grandfather Miao Sword
After Ding Yi arrived in Shanghai, due to work needs, he not only started dressing up in suits and leather shoes, but also grew a mustache. Now, as long as he wears a top hat, he looks like an authentic Japanese businessman. Ding Yi and other Several of Lang Ya's men lived in other places, and their communication with Hu Tong was completed by him delivering breakfast every morning. He stuffed the fried dough sticks on his hand into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it. He took a sip of porridge and said: "As soon as our army won the battle, Chongqing couldn't sit still. I was still wondering why Hu Bao's people suddenly became active these days. Now I understand what's going on. Alas, everyone is Chinese. Nowadays, they are all fighting against the Japanese, so why bother?"
Hu Bao was the person in charge of Juntong in Shanghai. Juntong and Hu Tong once had a big fight over the "military exercise" (see Volume 6, Chapter 9 and other related chapters for details), and Hu Shisan was in He was so brilliant in that confrontation that he began to attract the attention of the military commander and the Mei government. However, in recent times, as Ouyang Yun sided with Chiang Kai-shek in the Chongqing Incident, Hu Bao and others were very polite to Hu Tong's people. They rarely come to cause nuisance anymore, but during this period, military commanders frequently passed through the boundary, which naturally attracted Ding Yi's attention.
The current person in charge of Shanghai Hutong is Yang Sanping, a handsome middle-aged man wearing glasses. He said to Ding Yi: "Brother Ding, this time, Hu Bao and the others did not have any ill intentions. Hu Bao showed me through his subordinates Pass the message that the Japanese are going to hold a martial arts competition, and he wants to invite us to participate in the martial arts competition. Those guys you saw recently all came to me for this purpose." As he said that, he looked at Fox Thirteen. , smiled and said: "It's just that Thirteen has been too outstanding recently. Maybe the military commanders are not convinced."
Fox Shisan rarely spoke on such occasions. He just immersed himself in eating. At this time, he raised his head, smiled, and said, "I have been very honest during this time."
"Haha," many people laughed when they heard what he said.
Fox Thirteen, as the first killer of Shanghai Fox Tong, has always been on the front line of punishing rape and eradicating evil. This guy who has countless lives on his hands will be honest. Only a ghost will believe his words. ,
Ding Yi was originally a taciturn person, but now he became more talkative because of his responsibilities. He had been in contact with Fox Shisan for some time, and he had a good impression of this honest-looking and agile man. He thought about it I want to say: "I have also heard something about the Japanese martial arts competition. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. Thirteen was too violent during the operation to seize the Buddha statue some time ago. I can't rule out the possibility that the little Japs took the opportunity to trick him into making it public. There is a possibility that Ying Zuo, the old devil, can conspire to defeat us. We cannot rule out that he wants to use scheming means. We must be cautious about this matter."
Everyone looked at Ding Yi thoughtfully,
Fox Thirteen raised his head, looked at Ding Yi and said: "Ding Tou, I have inquired about the martial arts tournament, and it is indeed true. The devil who initiated the martial arts tournament is the current head of the Yagyu Shininryu in Japan, known as Japan Yagyu Gonsai, the number one swordsman in swordsmanship, I have seen this Japs before, and he really looks like a master, but hey, their Japanese swords are Miao swords inherited from our country, and they actually want to defeat us in swordsmanship. It’s really overestimating one’s capabilities.”
Ding Yi was born in a martial arts family and was very obsessed with martial arts. Hearing what Fox Thirteen said, he became interested and asked: "I have also heard some stories about Miao Dao and Japanese Dao. Thirteen, I know you are He is a descendant of Teacher Guo Changsheng, but I don’t know how much of his Miao knife skills you have learned.”
Fox Thirteen put the last bit of fried dough sticks on his hand into his mouth, smashed it twice and swallowed it. Then he wiped his hands on his clothes and said: "I don't dare to say how much I have learned, but I can only deal with that little devil Yagyu." There must be no problem." As he said that, he suddenly blinked his eyes, looked at Ding Yi and said, "Ding Tou, otherwise, we will end up showing the little devil how powerful we are."
Ding Yi smiled and shook his head: "The tasks on my shoulders are too heavy, so I don't dare to end it. I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If something goes wrong and affects major events, the commander-in-chief will definitely skin me. As for you, I'm quite optimistic about you, but it depends on Xiao Yang's wishes."
Everyone's eyes turned to Yang Sanping, who shook his head with a wry smile, and smiled at Ding Yi: "Brother Ding, you will be a good person, but you will give me the difficult problem." Then, he turned to Fox Thirteen, with a serious expression. Looking at him, he said: "Thirteen, let me tell you the truth. I actually agree with you in the competition. For no other reason than to take off the label of 'Sick Man of East Asia'. However, a telegram has been sent from Hutong headquarters." ,Because of your performance some time ago, the headquarters has nominated you to participate in the commendation ceremony on July 7th. At that time, the commander-in-chief will personally award you with honors and awards. How great is this for us trainees on the secret front? Glory, when the little devils hold a so-called martial arts competition in Shanghai, there must be various security measures. I'm just afraid."
Before he finished speaking, Fox Thirteen stood up and said firmly: "Tou, don't say anything. The more this happens, the more I have to participate in this martial arts tournament. I can't take off that Yagyu's head. I have Why should I accept that honor? Even if it is just to live up to my love for the Commander-in-Chief, I will participate."
"But Thirteen, the little devils have already prepared your appearance. As soon as you show up, they will recognize you."
"Yes, Thirteen, I think it's better for you not to participate. Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger in Shanghai are no less than one of us."
"Hmph, but who dares to chop off Yagyu's little devil's head in front of so many people." Fox Shisan said, his eyes gleaming.
Ding Yi looked at Fox Thirteen with admiration, and suddenly stood up. He turned his right hand over, and a silver needle was exposed. The small silver needle flashed a few rays of light on his hand, and he said: "Thirteen, You go boldly to compete. As for the appearance problem, I will help you solve it." After looking at everyone, he said: "It's a pity that Chief Bai is not here. If she is here, with her disguise skills, she can completely change Thirteen's appearance. , Well, although my acupuncture method can temporarily change the appearance, the person receiving the acupuncture will suffer a little pain, but I think Shisan won't care."
Fox Thirteen nodded: "Dingtou, thank you very much." Then he added: "Actually, it's best to compete like this, but I'm afraid that the little devil's cold shots will come over me just after I get on the stage. In that case, it won't be possible. Beautiful." After saying that, he looked at Yang Sanping,
Others also looked at Yang Sanping. Yang Sanping gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then it's decided. Well, I have an idea. Since we are going to end up as soldiers, we must eventually show our signs. In this way, we will learn from the propaganda." The military is also beneficial, but in that case, Thirteen's situation will become more dangerous, so in order to ensure Thirteen's safety, we must make arrangements early."
Ding Yi: "I agree. By then, all of us in Langya will participate in security work."
Yang Sanping nodded and said: "Then it's settled." Then he looked at Fox Thirteen and said solemnly: "Thirteen, don't let us down."
Fox Thirteen smiled: "I'm really looking forward to my grandson's Japanese sword versus grandpa Miao's sword."
