Chapter 50 King of Hell
Chapter 50 King of Hell
Imperial City, Changchun Palace
It is said that June is a very hot month. Even with ice cubes to cool off, the heat is still unbearable in the major palaces in the imperial city. Served by palace maids, an old woman in her seventies put on a veil, looked up at the black-faced military officer who had been kneeling outside the layers of curtains waiting for a long time, and cleared her throat.
"General Yan, I heard recently that Kowloon is getting restless again. It just so happens that Zhongjun has returned from suppressing the rebellion recently, so why don't you go and take down all those who are causing trouble for the country? These snakes, insects, rats and ants only know how to make noises in the newspapers all day long, which really disturbs my peace."
On the cold blue bricks, the dark-faced military officer who was kneeling on the ground heard the old woman's order with a resolute tone.
"Xiao Guoding will live up to the Buddha's trust, kill the rebels and defend the country!"
"Go, I'm tired."
After the old woman finished speaking, she fell into a deep sleep again without caring about Yan Xiaoguo who had been kneeling on the ground for a long time.
Yan Xiaoguo walked across the deserted square, and just as he was about to go out, he suddenly had the urge to look back at the majestic Palace of Tranquil Longevity illuminated by the setting sun.
"General Yan, our ancestors have something to tell you."
At the gate of the imperial city, a eunuch with white hair and beard saw Yan Xiaoguo coming out, and immediately floated in front of the black-faced military officer to convey his orders.
"Xiaoguo, if you are unable to do something, you must keep yourself useful. As long as you are alive, the world will be with you!"
"Xiaoguo remembers the teachings of our ancestors."
After listening to the white-haired eunuch's words, Yan Xiaoguo bowed deeply in a certain direction of the imperial city, then turned around and strode out without looking back.

"Zhongjun! It has been six years since we last met in the Gengzi Year!"
"Yes, big brother! This time we can fight side by side again to defend our country!"
Yan Xiaoguo felt a little excited as he looked at the burly man in front of him with shoulders as broad as a mountain.
Wang Zhongjun and he had known each other since childhood. Their fathers were both brave generals who had fought with Zuo Gong in the Western Frontier, and they had very similar ideals.
He immediately stepped forward, tightly holding Wang Zhongjun's big hands, which had become dark and hard due to years of wind and sun, and spoke in a complicated tone.
"We will have to deal with those barbarians when we go to Kowloon. The reason why the Buddha sent you to go with me is probably because the journey is dangerous, so that we two brothers can take care of each other. Although our colleagues will cover us when we pass the customs, I guess those barbarians will not let us bring guns to the island. In order to ensure the success of this matter and prevent unexpected variables, we still have to make long-term plans."
Wang Zhongjun was also a little excited. Looking at Yan Xiaoguo, whose face was already full of wrinkles before he reached the age of forty, he felt a little sad.
"I will listen to you, big brother. I brought a lot of elite soldiers with me this time. They are all military descendants who grew up in the battlefields of Western Frontier like us. They are all trustworthy brothers."
"Okay, okay, okay. They must be the best young men to have been trained by you for so many years. How are their kung fu skills? Have they reached the threshold of physical training?"
Yan Xiaoguo was very happy to see that these elite soldiers were the sons of his brothers who had grown up with him. But he also did not forget to ask about their details.
"They are all at the first level of training. With these unique weapons and exquisite coordination, even a third level expert would be defeated on the spot!"
While Wang Zhongjun told Yan Xiaoguo the truth, he took out a strange weapon and handed it to Yan Xiaoguo.
Yan Xiaoguo took the strange-looking black short stick, looked at it carefully and couldn't help but marvel at it.
One end of the weapon is a three-sided cone, and the other end is an iron hook that can be connected to a fine steel chain. If multiple people hold it and cooperate with each other, it is indeed a special weapon to defeat masters. "Yes, the craftsman's ingenuity is indeed better than our warriors. It's a pity that he can't carry a gun, otherwise a few water beads would be enough for us to kill the traitors and suppress the rebellion."
Seeing Yan Xiaoguo was a little upset, Wang Zhongjun thought of a way.
"Brother, although we can't bring guns to the island, no one says we can't do some tricks after we get to the island."
"You are a smart guy, but we have to make arrangements early. The journey is long, so we should leave tonight without delay."
Yan Xiaoguo patted Wang Zhongjun's broad shoulders with his big hand and decided to set off as soon as possible to avoid any further trouble.
After Wang Zhongjun received the order to go back and prepare the troops, Yan Xiaoguo also sent a telegram to the General's Mansion in Guangzhou.
"Master Fu, I and Zhongjun will leave for Guangzhou immediately. Please prepare weapons, money and customs clearance certificates in ten days. Yan Xiaoguo will stay."
Guangfu, General's Mansion
Fu Qi was also very happy when he saw the telegram sent by Yan Xiaoguo.
"Okay! When the King of Hell comes, I want to see how those rebels dare to shout again. Go, call the boy who volunteered to come to my house a few days ago and shouted to kill the rebels. I have something to discuss with him."
Perhaps it was the news that the notorious King of Hell was coming to Guangdong that gave the Guangzhou deputy governor great confidence, or perhaps it was out of confidence in the masters he had recruited, Fu Qi's original plan to go to Foshan to listen to opera was rekindled.
It's a good opportunity to check out the new things that the Guangfu Wuhui has created. Brothels and clinics? I also went to the school's opium den!
Fu Qi didn't know what he was thinking about, and there was a lewd look on his old face. A young man with a low ponytail came in and saw him. There was a flash of disgust in his eyes. He didn't care that Fu Qi was in a high position and interrupted Fu Qi's thoughts.
"Old man, why did you call me here? But have you found that person's trail?"
Haozi spoke rudely, as if he didn't take the Guangzhou vice governor seriously.
Anger flashed across Fuqi's eyes, but when he saw the two huge revolvers at the waist of the ponytailed young man, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
"Commander Hao, don't be so impatient. The whereabouts of the rebels are always secretive, but once the King of Hell sent by the capital arrives in ten days, these traitors won't be able to jump around for a few more days."
"Then why did you call me here, for tea?"
Seeing that there was no trace of the rebels, Haozi rebuked Fuqi again.
There is no other way. Wasting his life in this backward era all day long makes Haozi, who is already impatient, even more impatient.
Moreover, Hong Kong and Guangdong are such big places that trying to find your other mission targets is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Your Yamabu event requirements are as follows
1. Obtain the position of "Deputy Commander" or above in any government office of the Qing Dynasty.
2. Make all the people involved in this Yanfu event withdraw! Current remaining goals: 2
3. Bifang needs firewood (the power of Yama) to grow the flame
4. Special Target: Water and Fire Struggle (A person who controls the power of water will appear in the event. After swallowing his power of Yama, your Yama inheritance will undergo unexpected changes.)
You currently have 2 or 3 goals that have not been completed, 2 of which are the most critical parts. You will be eligible to return after completing them.
"It's troublesome to complete missions in this age. Not only is there an upper limit, but the rewards are also very limited. If it weren't for a special mission, I would have lost a lot this time."
Fu Qi calmed himself down and thought that the young man was ignorant. He took out the post for the martial arts meeting and asked Haozi to take a look.
Low Ponytail took it casually, and became interested when she saw the brothel clinic.
"You just want me to protect you for a while, no problem, ten gold bars, no bargaining!"
