Chapter 167

Master Qianhe told the whole story.

Lin Yu also poured a cup of hot tea for his uncle.

This time, Chang Ruiyuan's true face was really seen.

He was no longer the image of the revolutionary back then. He was clearly a person who worked for his own dynasty and disregarded the interests of the nation.

From the beginning, he had never thought of making the news brought by Master Qianhe public.

It might be beneficial to the world after it was made public, but it was not so beneficial to him.

Although it might increase his reputation and gain some support.

But at this time, the reputation he gained was among the people and students. The power he could exert in the political arena was very small, which would easily set him up and make it difficult for him to get off the tiger.

This was not in his interest.

He had made up his mind from the beginning to exchange this news with the Japanese pirates.

He hoped to get enough benefits in exchange.

Of course, the premise was to obtain Master Qianhe's consent first.

His situation was difficult, and there were many people in the government who opposed him, otherwise he would not have come to Xuzhou in person to discuss cooperation with Marshal Feng.

So he did not want to offend any force.

Even if Taoist Qianhe was just a civilian force.

But Taoist Qianhe represented Maoshan and Shangqing Sect.

This force was not small.

The best solution for him was to bring Taoist Qianhe under his command.

Not only did he have this powerful and extraordinary person, but he could also take this opportunity to get in touch with Shangqing Sect.

He could win over more Xuanmen masters and strengthen his own power.

So he did not sell the news directly at the beginning.

Instead, he mediated in other directions, trying to maximize his interests.

While resisting the attacks of political enemies, he treated Taoist Qianhe quite well in an attempt to win people's hearts.

But as time went on, the situation on his side became worse and worse, and Taoist Qianhe was still a hard-headed person.

He felt more and more disgusted and anxious in his heart.

More or less, he began to feel that Taoist Qianhe was a little bit ungrateful.

Especially later, he found that Taoist Qianhe actually had some sympathy for the Dan bandits he wanted to strangle, which made Chang Ruiyuan feel even more disgusted.

He just pretended to be polite on the surface and distanced himself from this matter.

Later, although Taoist Qianhe helped him several times and made some contributions, when he wanted to reward him, he was still neither humble nor arrogant.

Chang Ruiyuan was dissatisfied with the failure of his favor.

Being trapped inside and outside, he secretly began to contact the Japanese pirates.

He had actually thought about taking this step a long time ago.

In order to solve his dilemma, he had to consider all forces.

Of course, the best solution was not to contact them.

So he first chose to go north and cooperate with this general.

It's a pity that the cooperation could not solve the current dilemma.

He could only lower his bottom line and look for other helpers.

The news brought by Taoist Qianhe was a very good bargaining chip and a good excuse to take the initiative to contact the Japanese pirates.

He temporarily put Taoist Qianhe behind his mind and kept him in the dark, not letting him know the news.

He secretly sent people to contact the Japanese pirates.

He negotiated back and forth several times, and many interests were exchanged in the middle.

Finally, after achieving the results he wanted, he temporarily reached a cooperation. As long as he concealed the news, the Japanese pirates could support him.

Originally, the matter could have ended here.

But Taoist Qianhe caused trouble again.

He actually helped those Dan bandits and saved some people.

Although he didn't know that it was Chang Ruiyuan who really wanted to kill these people.

But this did not prevent this Chang from accumulating dissatisfaction with Taoist Qianhe.

And Chang Ruiyuan also used the news that Taoist Qianhe kept forcing him to announce the news to scare and force the Japanese pirates to give up more interests.

So the Japanese also knew the existence of this person.

In order to solve the problem once and for all, he sent people to assassinate Taoist Qianhe several times.

But Taoist Qianhe is quite powerful and has enough experience in the martial arts world, so he is not so easy to kill.

Especially in Chang Ruiyuan's territory, it is not convenient to make a big fuss.

Some people were sent to fight a small fight, but they were all dealt with by Taoist Qianhe with his strength and talismans.

Instead, it caused considerable losses to the Japanese pirates.

Chang Ruiyuan is still mediating here.

But in the end, he was temporarily forced to step down.

He had no choice but to choose to temporarily avoid disaster in Japan and go to Japan to seek further cooperation.

It was at this time that the two sides reached an agreement.

After the surname Chang had used Taoist Qianhe, he sold his whereabouts directly to the Japanese pirates.

Let these Japanese pirates send enough people to ambush Taoist Qianhe on his way back.

Originally, it was something that no one knew.

But if you don't want others to know, you must not do it yourself.

People have a strong ability to adapt.

Those Dan party members were betrayed by the surname Chang without any weapons and were hunted down.

It caused a lot of losses and sacrifices.

But those who survived began to think about change when faced with a desperate situation.

Some people chose to disguise and hide more deeply.

Some people chose to do the opposite and launched a spy war against Chang.

Keep listening to Chang Ruiyuan's news, analyze his situation, and predict his actions.

They also monitor Chang Ruiyuan's telegrams and infiltrate the people around Chang Ruiyuan.

They found that Chang Ruiyuan and the Japanese pirates were secretly communicating.

Although everyone was very angry, they were relieved.

Chang temporarily stepped down and had to go to Japan to seek political support.

This also means that he still has to be distracted.

He can no longer keep 100% of his energy to hunt down the Dan Party as before.

Finally, it gave them some breathing space and relieved some of their pressure.

They wanted to take this opportunity to make more moves or lurk or transfer.

It's also good for long-term planning for the future.

But they didn't expect to hear the news that Chang Ruiyuan and the Japanese pirates had made further transactions.

They wanted to trade Taoist Qianhe out.

Faced with such news, even if there was no relationship at all, just out of public interest, they also needed to issue a warning and save Taoist Qianhe.

After all, Taoist Qianhe is also a patriot and a force that can be united.

Not to mention, Taoist Qianhe had saved many of their lives.

Even if he had not saved them personally, he had saved their comrades.

In this way, they and Taoist Qianhe were also comrades fighting for the country.

How could they watch such a sincere person being killed by the Japanese pirates by the dog traitor Chang Ruiyuan!

They urgently organized manpower, ambushed on the periphery, and killed them at the right time.

They attacked from both inside and outside with Taoist Qianhe, catching the Japanese pirates off guard.

All the dozens of good players sent by the Japanese pirates were left behind.

Once again, the Japanese pirates were bleeding.

It was really gratifying.

After they saved Taoist Qianhe, they told Taoist Qianhe the cause and effect.

Both sides talked about the ins and outs of the matter.

Then the truth of the matter was restored clearly.

It really made everyone angry and made Taoist Qianhe feel ashamed.

Taoist Qianhe thought he had trusted the wrong person.

At the same time, he felt a little discouraged.

Guys like Chang Ruiyuan were also leading the revolution and the national salvation movement.

Could he lead? He didn't have the ability!

Not to mention that his own ability was average, even his heart was not right.

He only thought about his own glory and wealth, only thought about his own selfishness, and dared to sell out the interests of the country!

He was really a beast.

How could he save the 400 million compatriots in China with such a bug!

But at this time, he didn't have the heart to scold Chang Ruiyuan anymore.

Taoist Qianhe could only choose to cooperate with those Dan Party members and contact all the newspapers, magazines and all the well-known figures in the cultural circle that could be contacted.

Everyone worked together and directly tore their faces with the Japanese pirates.

This cruel and ruthless and despicable method was made public.

It caused an uproar in society all of a sudden.

This also triggered a war of words.

Some cultural people were not upright, and some simply accepted the money of the Japanese pirates.

The Japanese pirates cried out in the newspapers, promoting their own justice while secretly threatening.

Those literati who received money also shouted for the Japanese pirates.

Like a dog barking at its own family.

And those former royal families who chose to cooperate with the Japanese pirates also suffered widespread criticism.

But their power was not small.

Many of the remaining royal family members were also educated.

Even though the court no longer exists and the emperor has stepped down, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

The houses, gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings that were originally left in their family are still a considerable fortune.

When these cultural people get together, they are still a considerable force.

A war of words broke out directly in the big city.

After cursing back and forth, no one could convince the other.

Although the water was muddied, the truth of the matter was finally revealed.

The people also raised some vigilance.

Especially the various sects in the martial arts world, they pay more attention to their own territories and are more careful about the lurking Japanese pirates.

After all, this sect must have a station, and they often choose a Feng Shui treasure land.

These Japanese pirates are here to kill dragons.

They are here to destroy Feng Shui.

They have a natural opposition with these martial arts sects located in various places.

It also triggered a lot of fights, with casualties on both sides.

But it is finally a good thing.

An anti-Japanese atmosphere has been formed among the people.

This is also one of the reasons why Master Ren did not dare to do business directly with the Japanese pirates.

The participation of various sects also hindered the Japanese pirates' secret destruction of Feng Shui.

It made their plans impossible to implement.

Even some of their secret explorations and surveys were difficult to continue.

Although the process was tortuous, the result was finally good.

Taoist Qianhe still achieved his goal when he went north this time.

Taoist Qianhe also opened his eyes when he went north this time, which also made him fall into some confusion.

He was a man of high spirits. After opening his eyes to the world, he refused to cover his face and bury his head in the ground.

The danger of the nation and the country tortured his heart.

He was a little overwhelmed for a while.

The Dan Party and Taoist Qianhe formed a fighting friendship.

They also invited Taoist Qianhe.

But suddenly, it was difficult for Taoist Qianhe to make a decision.

He was faced with confusion and chose to escape temporarily.

He left the center of the storm and planned to return to his fellow apprentices and be quiet for a while.

Face your own heart, calm down, and then make a decision.

He did not go directly back to the place where Taoist Simu lived in seclusion.

The four people in the southeast, northwest and northeast were still waiting for him there.

He chose to come directly to Renjia Town.

After all, almost a year has passed, and his nephew should have returned to Renjia Town and returned to his master.

Renjia Town also has his own senior brother.

The nephew is mature in thought, far-sighted, and has a broad mind. He is not an ordinary child.

And his senior brother has experienced more after all.

Talking with them will definitely be rewarding.

With this idea in mind, Taoist Qianhe came here in the wind and snow.

He explained all the details of his trip to the north clearly.

Lin Yu held his tea bowl, smacked two sips of water, and exhaled a breath of hot air.

He looked at Taoist Qianhe with a smile.

After Taoist Qianhe told his relatives about the matter, the depression on his face disappeared.

His face looked more radiant under the illumination of the brazier.

His breathing became smoother.

"Master, do you still need us to help you make a decision?"

Taoist Qianhe smiled and shook his head after listening to Lin Yu's words.

"I thought so at first, but now it seems that it is not necessary."

The reason why he chose to leave the center of the storm was because his heart was in turmoil at that time, his eyes were fascinated and he could not tell the difference.

In order to prevent himself from making the wrong decision, he could only retreat temporarily.

But when he went south all the way, walking alone on this lonely road.

He kept pondering and questioning in his heart.

His emotions became clearer and clearer.

Until he came to Renjia Town, he told everyone the whole story.

It was equivalent to sorting out the matter from beginning to end from the perspective of a bystander.

He also sorted out his heart again.

After sorting it out, his confusion dissipated, and the decision was made.

"Uncle Master, do you plan to stay and practice, or go find them again?"

Master Qianhe said, "I am so confused after going out that I can't calm down to practice. The whole country seems to be wailing in my ears. I must do something."

"What they said is right. I think they can succeed. They are different from Chang Ruiyuan. Since this way is not feasible, we can also try their way."

"So I plan to find them again."

Uncle Jiu asked, "Do you want to go back to Songhu? There are many Japanese pirates settled there. If you go there again, I am afraid you will fall into a trap."

Master Qianhe shook his head.

"I don't plan to go to Songhu again. The city should not be the battlefield now. I heard that their main force is looking for opportunities in Hunan and Jiangxi, and it is also the time when they need help."

"I will rest here for a few days and then go there."
