Lin Youde was exchanging glances with his staff and thinking about what to do, but before he could make up his mind, Yuan Weiting led the people to break through the obstruction of the servants of Longyuan Pavilion and entered the inner courtyard.
When Lin Youde saw Yuan Weiting's attire, he was immediately surprised. This girl was fully armed. She looked like a new official who came to pay a visit after taking office. He was basically trying to arrest Lin Youde as the leader of a rebellious party!
Soon after, Lin Youde's self-defense skills were activated. The passage of time suddenly slowed down, and an extra-large arrow indicating the source of murderous intent appeared in his field of vision. The arrow pointed directly at Yuan Weiting who rushed into the atrium. So Lin Youde quickly
After grasping the situation, he knew that Yuan Weiting was going to use her jump and her divine ability to advance, and then used the Iai Slash. Lin Youde didn't know much about martial arts, but he had enough time to react at this time. He could
You can clearly see Yuan Weiting stepping forward with her left foot and lowering her body to rush forward. You can also see her hand moving towards the knife at her waist.
Under normal circumstances, this series of actions will inevitably be completed at a high speed that normal people cannot catch. Unfortunately, Lin Youde, the cheater, is now observing and analyzing the world at a speed far faster than normal people. Bullet time is activated.
At that time, he had almost invincible dynamic vision and reaction ability.
After careful consideration and repeated deliberation, Lin Youde decided on his response. He fell backwards to avoid the long knife slashing diagonally downwards and the ensuing collision. In addition, he
He also carefully chose the direction in which he fell, ensuring that he would fall on the turf and not hit any hard rocks. Finally, he chose a suitable posture so that he could kick Yuan Weiting in the stomach after falling to the ground.
foot.
Then the bullet time was lifted - according to Lin Youde's previous experience, if the bullet time was lifted it meant that the response he chose could keep him safe, so he fell back according to the established plan with peace of mind.
But the moment he fell to the ground, a crisp metallic sound echoed throughout the atrium.
The knife in Yuan Weiting's hand had been broken into two pieces, but the commander of Shenji camp still used the broken blade to block the long knife that cut off his own blade and then went straight to his throat.
"Oh, you are worthy of being a master of the Immortal Style. I bought this sword for 10,000 taels of silver. It is said that it was strengthened by some ancient alchemy, but it still broke in one fell swoop. Shou.
I taught you, Mr. Yin Zang... Oh no, you should call me Madam." Yuan Weiting said with an indifferent look, as if she really did it to learn the martial arts skills of Chin, "Shopkeeper Lin, I heard that you are a hero of the world.
You once took a blow from the traitor Nie Xueqiu without changing a expression. I didn’t expect that I would scare you just by having a discussion with Mr. Yin Zang. However, Wei Ting is also eager to discuss the situation, so I didn’t consider it. Please bear with me, Shopkeeper Lin.”
Lin Youde couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. At this time, Ba had already reached Lin Youde with a knife. Sky Academy Lan, who had been shouting "give me money if you want to do something" before, also stood behind Ba in a supporting posture, with his hands filled with pills.
The paper talisman drawn by Zhu. The maid team and foreign gun team, who sensed that something was wrong, were pouring into the atrium. Lin Youde estimated that the other shrine maidens from Kashima Shrine who were going to the annex to rest were also on their way, and they would be there in a few minutes.
.
Yuan Weiting did attack just now with the belief that she would kill him, but now she has missed the best opportunity to take action.
It seems that Yuan Weiting also knew this very well, so she used the discussion to cover it up.
At this time, Tan Zhonglin and others, who were frightened by Yuan Weiting's sudden attack, finally came to their senses. Tan Zhonglin looked unhappy. This old celebrity was still stubborn. If Yuan Weiting didn't give him face, he certainly wouldn't treat Yuan Weiting well either.
But Yuan Weiting didn't seem to care what the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi thought. She just looked at Lin Youde's two guards with a smile, as if she was valuing a good horse.
Lin Youde stood up, patted the dust on his butt, then bowed to Yuan Weiting with a smile on his face and said: "Lin is a businessman, I can't help but scare you, Yuan Dutong. Look, I'm about to wet my pants."
After saying that, Lin Youde gave Chen Haihui a wink, and Chen Haihui immediately laughed knowingly: "Hahahaha."
Lin Youde also started to hahaha, and then Yuan Weiting also started to hahaha. The other people in the yard looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to join in the hahaha.
For a moment, the whole courtyard was filled with laughter, but the atmosphere in the courtyard did not ease at all.
After laughing, Yuan Weiting threw the broken blade to her entourage, and then said to Tomoe, who also returned the sword to its sheath: "Weiting, I am also a martial artist. When I was studying military affairs in Japan, I practiced kendo at Yoshioka Dojo in Kyoto. Now.
Meeting such a master, I hope I can compete with all my strength. I heard that Shopkeeper Lin is going to have a banquet for guests tonight, and many foreigners will be present, so Weiting hopes to compete with Miss Yinzang according to Western dueling rules under the arbitration of foreigners.
I wonder if Ms. Tozora is willing?"
Lin Youde gasped. The tradition of dueling in Western Europe in this time and space was even more outrageous than in the previous time and space. It would not be over until one of the parties was maimed or killed. Yuan Weiting seemed to have made up his mind to kill Lin Youde's majesty.
Lin Youde naturally knew what to do at this time. If there was a real duel, no matter whether he lost or won, the result would not be what he wanted to see, so decisively giving in was the right way to go.
But before Lin Youde could answer, Ba spoke first: "Mr. Lin, if Ba is defeated, please find an opportunity to take my ashes back to my hometown."
"bar……"
"Yuan Dutong," Ba ignored Lin Youde's call and turned to Yuan Weiting, "I failed to perform my duties just now, which shocked the Lord. Thank you for giving me a chance to compensate for my fault, so tonight...
Lin Youde was really angry. Such a smart and smart girl, why did she suddenly have a seizure now? He glared at her unwillingly and aggrieved, stepped forward and forced her away. When he faced Yuan Weiting again,
He was smiling again.
"Yuan Dutong, is this bad? If you really have a duel tonight, no matter what the outcome is, we will never be friends again."
Originally, Lin Youde could have spoken more tactfully, but in the current atmosphere, he could only continue to play the role of forcefully ending the sparring session between the two "martial arts practitioners".
Yuan Weiting sneered in response to Lin Youde's words.
"Shopkeeper Lin, even if you lend me five courages, I wouldn't dare to keep you by my side."
Lin Youde laughed a few times, and then showed his true nature of liking to get straight to the point, and threw all these convoluted words to the island of Java.
As long as there are common interests, then everything can be sat down and negotiated. This is Lin Youde's basic creed in negotiation.
"Yuan Dutong, I heard that your brother trained troops at the small station and made many achievements. However, the Qing government was incompetent and the funds issued to your brother were withheld at every level. In the end, they were not enough to train the new Beiyang Army?"
In fact, the military training funds given by the Qing government to Yuan Shikai were still sufficient in this time and space, but military expenditures were never too much. If there were too much, could they line their own pockets? And Lin Youde now has a lot of money-making industries in his hands, especially
The hard currency collected from the Nanyang bills issued by Nanyang Bank greatly expanded his financial resources, which was something Yuan Shikai and Yuan Weiting did not have. To get money, they first had to get it from the Manchus, and then scrape it.
Land, and now the people's livelihood in the country is declining - at least in the north where the Japanese army scraped land for less than two years during the Sino-Japanese War, what can be obtained from scraping land is really not proportional to what Lin Youde can provide.
So Lin Youde showed off his advantages when he came up, and you guys can do whatever you want.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yuan Weiting narrowed her one eye and stared at Lin Youde for a long time before replying: "Shopkeeper Lin, it's really not just good luck that you are here today. I was so offended just now. I will make a decision tonight."
Come visit again with a generous gift."
After saying that, Yuan Weiting turned around and left just like Nie Xueqiu had done for more than half a year. She didn't even give Lin Youde a chance to stay. She left behind Tan Zhonglin, Lu Chuanlin and others who had followed him, so the situation at the scene became extremely embarrassing.
Tan Zhonglin was so angry that he blew his beard, but in the end he could only say a few polite words to Lin Youde and left.
**
It was said that Yuan Weiting came out of Longyuan Pavilion and began to take off her armor as soon as she got on the carriage. The maid who was serving her helped him while laughing and said: "This Lin Youde is just a bear. It is in vain that the lady deliberately planned to kill him."
"What do you know?" Yuan Weiting said to the maid in a gloomy tone. She seemed quite displeased by her voice, "Do you think that guy was frightened and fell down? He reacted almost at the same time as Miyazaki Tonzo, even if Miyazaki Tonzo
Qi Yin can't hide his sword, so I can't touch him at all, I'm afraid I'll have to kick him."
"That……"
"That guy is a big trouble. Now he is not strong enough and can only exchange financial resources for peace. When he gets stronger in the future, he will definitely be a big worry for my brother and me." After saying that, Yuan Weiting sighed heavily, "Damn it, I should have done it just now.
Use the power of Shen Ji to kill him directly. I still despise him too much."
"But if you kill him, will the master be unhappy?"
Before Yuan Weiting left for Guangzhou, her brother Yuan Shikai had warned her many times not to act recklessly, but Yuan Weiting had grown up and was used to having her own way, so she didn't take this advice to heart. At this time, she just regretted that she didn't kill Lin Youde with one move, leaving her
After causing trouble, I originally wanted to kill one of his confidants to teach him a lesson, but now I can't even achieve this goal.
But after a while, Yuan Weiting's mood suddenly improved again.
"I heard that the mooncakes in Guangdong are different from those in the north. They are soft and sweet, and the mooncakes from Guangzhou Lianxiang Tower are the best in South China. We are going to have a good time tonight."
The maid looked at the young lady who suddenly felt better and curled her lips. She had stayed with Yuan Weiting for so many years and had long been accustomed to the young lady's flickering mood. So she did not think deeply about the reasons behind this change.
Of course, there is no way to know what Yuan Weiting's thoughts were at this time.
"I'll eat mooncakes today first, and I'll take a long-term approach to dealing with you, Lin Youde. I have plenty of ways to treat you." Yuan Weiting thought in her heart, and quietly pursed her lips.
