Chapter 15. The Fall of Wang Wu
Although the martial arts world in the late Qing Dynasty were not as obvious as the martial arts worlds in the north and south of the Wumen, it also had a very distinct regional nature. From the three religions and even the black and black gangs, all of them had various rules, cuts and taboos due to different regional habits.
Generally, martial arts people who walk around the world need face and reputation in addition to their concerns about their strength. After gaining a huge reputation for heroes like Wang Wu, they can naturally gain favorability in various places.
Yang Meng and Wang Wu were warding, first practicing martial arts skills, but later because of the lewd habit of the otaku, he became interested in the old pills made by the martial arts clerks. However, the ones that helped him the most in the world were those rules and lip incisions.
Yang Meng asked himself, although he also came from the Northeast of later generations, he did not have much affection for the Eight Banners Braided Army, who was born between the White Mountains and Black Waters.
To put it bluntly, a semi-feudal and half-slave ruling class itself was a stifle of the petty bourgeoisie in the Song and Ming dynasties and even a regression of civilization, not to mention the Qing court's absolute forbidden castration of China's spiritual embezzlement.
Fortunately, although this country is in unprecedented darkness, for the people and industry in the lower class of the Qing Dynasty, they prefer to maintain the original ecology, rules, vitality and...resilience for thousands of years...
In the late Qing Dynasty, there were no Five Mountains Sword Sects in later martial arts novels, and even the Shaolin Wudang, which must be written in classical martial arts, now in a state of semi-abortion, half-folk, and half nonsense.
According to Wang Wu, the sects that are active in the martial arts world are basically concentrated in the capital Hebei area in the north, mainly pure martial arts sects such as Xingyi, Bagua, Taiji, Baji, Tanlu, etc., while in the south, there are the five major boxing genres of Hong, Chen, Cai, Li, Mo, and the sects evolved from the direct history of Wudang, such as the Jinchan Sect, Longmen Sect, etc.... And the Jianghu covers the collective name of the martial arts world, the monks, Taoism, Confucianism, the eight genres and nine ranks, and the black and white genres.
People in the martial arts world may have a more direct mind and relatively smart martial arts. In addition to fighting, they often use more tactful literary battles, which means showing off their unique skills and letting the other party retreat when they see the difficulties.
People in the world are much more difficult to deal with. For people with relatively rough martial arts, killing or assassinating opponents is the best way to solve the problem.
If it were another escort agency, even if the escort owner had a good martial arts and prestige, he would always be a little scared on the way to escorts, because the rules of bandits, gangs and even horses might change one day. Taboos and methods must be changed when dealing with them and even fighting.
However, the Shunyuan Escort Agency run by Dadao Wang Wu rarely has such concerns. Its radiation range is extremely large. From Shanhaiguan in the north to Liangjianghuguang in the south, all the Jianghu Haoke who has some connection with Wumen respects this old hero. As long as the Shunyuan Escort Banner passes by, many hills even charge a little bit of money to buy a road.
Of course, the reason for this is that in addition to Wang Wu’s superb martial arts and skills, the more reason is that Wang Wu created a great reputation during the Reform Movement of 1898. Later, he rescued Tan Sitong twice, assassinated Empress Dowager Cixi four times, and assassinated corrupt officials of the Qing court many times, which made this hero of the Beijing clan gain the heartfelt admiration and praise from the martial arts worlds in the north and south.
However, the lofty prestige for the people in the world is a fierce reputation and bandit that must be strangled for the traitors, the Qing court and even the Eight-Nation Alliance.
It was September when he left the city, and when Yang Meng returned to Beijing with the escort team, it was already late October.
Just as everyone had packed up and settled down in the backyard of the escort agency, an unexpected person suddenly broke into the inner house.
"Senior Sister Lin? Why are you here?"
"I have been hiding in the capital for more than two months. Now the foreign devils have been completely caught by our Yihequan. Brother Wang, this news is so blocked. I don't know if I come back, I will change my place quickly..."
Seeing Wang Wu a little puzzled, the visitor continued, "There is news in the group that Li Hongzhang has completely surrendered the foreign devils on behalf of the Qing court. Now he is about to do his best to clear out the boxing corps and martial arts people in the capital. I can no longer go back to the Red Building. I am afraid that your Shunyuan Escort Agency will not be able to save it. Now I can only ask you to leave with me quickly..."
Lin Hei'er, who is in a powerful purple short dress, is now standing in front of Wang Wu with a free expression and talking freely. If it weren't for the short sword in his hand still bleeding, no one would have seen that this graceful and handsome lady was actually a murderous senior sister.
Wang Wu frowned and caught Lin Hei'er off guard. However, after experiencing so many years of storms in the world, the old man's experience and decisions were extremely rich. Without waiting for everyone to panic, he immediately made arrangements: "Miss, Xiaosan, Xiaosi, you two lead the brothers in the escort agency to climb over the wall from the West Courtyard and scatter out of the city from Tianhe Hutong. Sha Er and Junior Sister Lin, you two have less feet and fast. Go to other Wumen brothers' houses to report the news, so that any brothers will not know the situation and are made into dumplings by foreigners here..."
"Master, what about you?"
After a brief shock and surprise, Yang Meng suddenly recalled, "In the previous life, Wang Wu's birth and death date on the Internet seemed to be said to be at the end of 1900. Who knew that there would be a mess ahead of time? Could it be that it was the effect of my little butterfly fanning?"
Wang Wu looked at Yang Meng's anxious look and nodded with relief, but did not correct the fallacy in this sentence "Master". Whether from Li Cunyi's relationship or the hard work he put in to Yang Meng, he had already regarded Yang Meng as his personal disciple in his heart...
"I walked through the front door and tried to delay you for a while. Don't worry, the terrain here is more familiar to you. If the entire escort agency is empty, I am afraid that the foreigners will seal the entire inner city again, so no one can escape..."
As a person who has been through the battlefield for a long time, Lin Hei'er obviously knew that time was tight, so she suddenly pulled Yang Meng, then clasped her fists and said to Wang Wu: "What your senior brother said is very good. You younger generation should do as the fifth master said. There are so many dreams. Just leave here. Stay there in a few days and drink and have fun with your senior brother..."
After saying that, the woman dragged Yang Meng neatly, ran a few steps and then pulled out the back wall of the escort agency, and ran along the alley towards the night. However, before she could run far away, she heard a burst of noise coming from the distance.
"It seems that there are traitors in the group. As soon as I took action, the foreigners took the time forward. You can first go out of this alley and find a place to hide. When I rush out to attract the foreigners, find another opportunity to escape. Remember not to go back to the Red Building, where there is now..."
Yang Meng's eyes twitched, obviously guessing something from Lin Heier's expression. He just grabbed Lin Heier without waiting for his outstretched arm. This somewhat excited woman had already waved her short sword and pounced into the darkness with a fierce expression...
Bang bang bang bang bang bang...
At the same time, hundreds of Qing soldiers led the 500 spear team of the Eight-Nation Alliance to force the Shunyuan Escort Agency from a distance. Seeing that torches almost ignited the night, the lonely Escort Agency suddenly seemed a little weak.
"I'm afraid the news from Lin Heier is a bit late..." Wang Wu frowned and put the big knife back on his arm.
"Rebel King 5, you have been involved in assassinating Master Foreigner many times. Come out quickly and surrender. You can still save the lives of all the escort agencies. Once the foreigners get angry, the entire Shunyuan escort agency will be free from being left!"
"Master, why not rush out from the west with us..."
"Officer, what should I do? My family is more than a dozen people, and I still hope..."
With a slap, Ma San yelled excitedly: "Do you think the master can guarantee his life by going out? Since the foreigners entered the capital, they killed tens of thousands of people but didn't see them lenient... All four streets were blocked, and I'm afraid they didn't want to leave any living. Everyone worked together to break through the siege together..."
Wang Wu pressed Ma San's shoulder, but felt a little relieved. He smiled and said to everyone: "Hundreds of foreign guns, not to mention us, even Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan, such a martial arts master, may have to hate the scene. If you want to survive, you will search the guys. I will go out of the main gate first. The rest of the people will cross the wall and break through the wall. Remember to run away from the wall on the alley. Maybe there will be a glimmer of life..."
"Master, you go to the back door to break through, I will take the fourth brother and the others to the main door to meet the enemy..."
"No one wants to go out alive if the Qing soldiers don't see me. No one wants to go out alive. Only when I am at the main gate can you have a front-line opportunity. No one should do anything randomly. At this time, one will be the next one. There will be a great time in the future to kill the Japanese. Warriors should not be impulsive. What I teach you usually only for food?"
The old man slapped his apprentice in the face, his eyes roared red. After forcing everyone to divide into four directions to hide beside the wall, he suddenly ran from the wall to the front door, and his feet rushed and swayed one after another, and his spine on his back drove the bones all over his body to exert force.
Just as the Qing soldiers shouted constantly, Wang Wu was already falling from the sky like a bat, stabbed into the Qing soldiers' throat with a knife, and then pushed the unlucky corpse toward the foreign gun team. While the foreign gun team was panicking and shooting, the old man had already exerted force again, and the dark force in his hand turned into the Nine-ring big sword. A stream of sharp edges suddenly broke out in the Qing soldiers' body, and pieces of flesh and blood were split into pieces in the sky, and in a blink of an eye, the old man shot into the crowd with the old man...
A ball of swords shines in the nine states, and don’t worry about killing Kunlun...
He shouted the Liuhe Big Sword Technique, and Wang Wu's body had turned into a blood-colored whirlwind, using the chaos of cloak sword technique in the crowd like a madman.
The powerful qi and blood were moving in the body, and the violent dark energy was continuously stimulated, causing the big knife like a door to turn into a meat grinder, spinning and stirring wildly among the chaotic crowd.
Slap sex...
For a moment, the broken limbs and legs flew away like rotten wood, and the spear heads kept separating from the light of the sword. Huge panic spread among the crowd like a plague. Hundreds of foreigners were caught off guard and were actually killed by Wang Wu to defeat the army.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang...
The tide-like gunshots kept ringing in the night sky, and the people in the escort bureau jumped out with tears in their eyes. Although the firepower on the side and behind was much worse than the front, more than twenty people fell down in one encounter. When the luckiest few were holding in to the Hu, the gunshots at the front door burst out like a heat...
