Chapter 143: Every time you slaughter more dogs out of righteousness
"This world is really getting more and more chaotic!"
At the wine table, I don't know if he had a few too many drinks, or if he had been holding some things in his heart for too long. In addition, Wu Dong and Yan Zhendong were not very familiar with each other, so it was rare for Wang Wu to let go of his complaints.
"You may also know that the Yuanshun Escort Bureau opened by Wang uses mostly escorts from outside the customs!"
"It was fine in the past few years. Although we encountered some troubles from time to time, the overall environment was good. At least we didn't have to worry too much about encountering big gangsters!"
"But the situation has been different in recent years. Chaos has begun outside the customs. The bandits not only have knives, but they have even begun to equip themselves with muskets!"
"The casualties of the escort brothers began to increase. Wang was very upset, but he didn't know what happened?"
Yan Zhendong and Quancheng celebrities were silent, they didn't know what to say.
Wu Dong looked sideways. He didn't believe that Wang Wu had traveled all over the country for so many years and didn't know the problem.
Maybe he knew it in his mind, but he subconsciously avoided it because he couldn't solve it at all, or even change it.
Of course, with Da Sword King Wu's reputation and appeal, if he wants to do something, he can still make some noise and influence, but I'm afraid he has no such concept at all.
Presumably, this was the main reason why he was later involved in the whirlpool of the Reform Movement of 1898 and refused to escape.
The country is poor and weak, and warriors like him, who spend most of their time outside the country as escorts, feel it most vividly, and they probably have accumulated a lot of grievances in their hearts.
Otherwise, as an old Jianghu person, even if his loyalty to Jianghu still exists in his heart, he would not be able to risk his life and follow a group of passionate young people to toss about reform.
He is not alone. There are Yuanshun Escort Agency, relatives and friends behind him. It is not easy for him to make up his mind to die.
"Brother Wang, just do your own thing well, and let the brothers in the escort agency have a stable income!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was dull, Wu Dong opened his mouth and said comfortingly: "Others, if you can help me, just ask. If nothing else, I have enough brothers!"
"Speaking of which, it's not easy to support Senior Brother Wu with so many brothers, right?"
Wang Wu thanked him and said curiously: "I see that the area where Senior Brother Wu's altar is located is quite far from the canal!"
"Yes, life is not very easy!"
Wu Dong smiled lightly and said leisurely: "So, I have always advocated 'hard work and self-reliance', and don't rely on the government for what you can do!"
Then, he generally talked about how he led a group of Boxer brothers to open up wasteland and build farms in the wilderness, as well as arrange a series of production and commercial activities.
Finally he said: "You can still live without the government, and you can live with more nourishment and dignity. It just depends on whether you are willing to put in a lot of hard work for it!"
"What I can do now is work hard to ensure that the brothers who are willing to follow and their families can live better than before. This is victory!"
What he said made the other three martial arts masters at the banquet table stunned. Even Yan Zhendong, who thought he was familiar with Wu Dong, felt shocked and inexplicable.
As for the Great Sword King Wu and the famous celebrities in Quancheng, let alone them.
Only now did they realize how powerful the tall and majestic young man in front of them was.
Not only is his martial arts great, the key is his courage to fight and not be afraid of dangers, which is quite admirable.
Ask yourself, if they were in Wudong's position, at most they would rely on the number of boxers to try to achieve a better living environment, or they would still have to rely on the power of the government and local gentry.
There would be no thankless efforts to open up wasteland and build farms, let alone shoulder the burden of survival for tens of thousands of poor people. That is simply not something ordinary people can bear.
Wang Wu reacted and smiled bitterly. Compared with the setbacks and troubles he encountered, there was no comparison with the difficulty of Wu Dong's career.
Senior Brother Wu is prospering and doesn't look decadent at all, so why should he be pretentious?
I don't know if he was shocked, or if he really thought about it, but Wang Wu's condition returned to normal later, and the topics of chat were basically familiar Jianghu affairs.
Yan Zhendong and Quancheng celebrities also subconsciously agreed, obviously having no intention of continuing to receive spiritual shocks.
Wu Dong didn't take it seriously. While eating and drinking, he inadvertently guided the topic towards commenting on famous experts in the north.
Wang Wu was very familiar with this one, and it didn’t take long for him to become the focus of the wine table.
For example, each branch of the Tai Chi system has a master-level martial artist in charge.
Xingyiquan has also been divided into different schools. At this time, it is also in full bloom, with martial arts masters and martial arts masters emerging one after another.
The situation of Bagua Zhang and Bajiquan is slightly better, there are not so many branches, but the person who can carry the tripod is quite powerful.
Wu Dong had heard of most of these, and he wanted to make friends with them, but it was a pity that these internal boxing masters might not be willing to give him the honor to come to Lu Di.
Wasn't it just Da Dao Wang Wu who was successfully invited over by taking advantage of the opportunity of his escort trip in Lu?
"I heard that Jinmen hero Huo Yuanjia is known as the best master in Jinmen?"
Seeing that Wang Wu's comments were very structured and not specific to the person, Wu Dong knew that his attempt to find out information about the martial arts of some famous late Qing Dynasty masters from his mouth was in vain.
Fortunately, he can still take the initiative...
"It's not that exaggerated!"
Speaking of this, Wang Wu showed a smile on his face and chuckled: "Although Brother Huo's martial arts is quite good, it can be said that the number one in Jinmen is a bit too high!"
"Brother Wang really has a lot of connections. He has a good relationship with Master Huo from Jinmen, right?"
"It's not bad. We have interacted with each other several times before, so we can make friends through force!"
"..."
Talking and laughing, the atmosphere was always quite good, and in the end the guests and hosts had a great time.
In the next three days, Wang Wu failed to persuade Wu Dong to stay and stayed as a guest in the Jiao'ao area for another three days, including of course the famous celebrities in Quancheng who accompanied him.
During this period, Wu Dong did not discuss and communicate with Wang Wu anymore. Instead, he played one game each with Yan Zhendong and Quancheng famous players.
He used the dark power method he had just stepped into, and the effect was surprisingly good.
The celebrity in Quancheng was the worst in terms of strength, only at the mid-level level of Ming Jin, so I won't say much. He was completely suppressed by Wu Dong with his realm and physical superiority.
If you use secret methods again, it will really be bullying. Wu Dong still knows this well, and the actual significance and effect of the exchange is not great.
Yan Zhendong, on the other hand, relied on Ming Jin's peak cultivation level to suppress Wu Dong during the exchanges and exchanges.
This time, when he didn't hold back much, Wu Dong used secret methods from time to time, which made him feel a little embarrassed and at a loss.
If Wu Dong had not entered the level of Anjin for the first time and was not proficient in the use of Anjin, Yan Zhendong would really be embarrassed.
After the discussion, the guy shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems that I am still shallow. When I was in Foshan, I thought I could compete with Master Huang!"
When he said this, his face was full of self-deprecation.
Huang Feihong is the master of Anjin, and his strength is probably even greater than that of Wang Wudu.
I didn't know the specific situation of An Jin before, so I could still be unconvinced, but now I can finally understand it.
Little did he know that during the competition, the peak of Ming Jin's cultivation revealed, as well as the fierce offensive combined with the extremely powerful Iron Cloth Shirt and Eagle Claw Skill, also shocked the spectators of the Great Sword King Wu and Quancheng's celebrities.
.
I really didn't expect that Yan Zhendong, who had always been taciturn, would be so powerful. Ming Jin's peak cultivation level was no joke.
If they don't know the details, they will definitely suffer a loss against Yan Zhendong.
Yan Zhendong's strength was naturally highly recognized by them. In the next three days, Yan Zhendong was dragged around the Jiao'ao area to accompany him.
Witnessing with one's own eyes the condition of the Boxer farm, the mental state of the Boxers and their families that was different from other places, and Wu Dong's series of layouts, all of them were dumbfounded by Wu Dong, the king of swordsmen, and the celebrities in Quancheng.
Especially the King of Swordsman Wu, not only has the world in mind, but he is very concerned about the country and the people, otherwise he would not get angry when talking about the chaos outside the customs.
It's just that I never thought about using my own strength to make some attempts in the past, and basically pinned my hopes on the imperial court and the government.
However, after seeing the scale and layout of the Boxer Farm, his mood was so agitated that he could not calm down for a long time. He saw a different scenery here.
Of course, he is self-aware. Compared with Wu Dong, who has excellent management and planning abilities, his own ability in this area is far behind.
It would have been very difficult for him to barely maintain the order and development of the three boxer farms.
Obviously, he was very interested in the Boxer Farm model and had the urge to imitate it.
Privately, the most asked questions are about the management details and development ideas in this area.
As for the exchange of martial arts, Wang Wu automatically forgot about it. According to him, martial arts can be practiced at any time, but there are not many opportunities to ask for advice and management experience from an extremely capable guy like Wu Dong.
The current Wang Wu is not as enthusiastic as when he was involved in the Reform Movement of 1898 a few years later, but he can be regarded as a standard patriot.
Naturally, Wu Dong valued such an existence, and made it clear that if Wang Wu had any management problems in the future, and if he did not have time to come to Lu Di in person, he could communicate by letter. He would not mind it troublesome.
Even when Wang Wu had to reluctantly leave, he secretly revealed some information, telling him not to act too impulsively, as there was still hope as long as his life was still there.
To be honest, he despised putting his life on the subject of the Reform Movement of 1898.
It is better to remain useful, even if you end up in the Gengzi Rebellion later, than to die meaninglessly in the palace struggle.
Of course, this is Wu Dong's thinking. As for whether he can reverse the fate of Big Sword King Wu, it depends on the future exchanges.
Every time Zhengyi slaughters more dogs, Wu Dong is less willing to deal with those scholars in the late Qing Dynasty who have ulterior motives compared to the simpler warriors...
