At this time, Jiang Li and Nalan Yuanshu passed through the Chamber of Commerce and came to a clean backyard.
Neither of them spoke, and they ignored the guys from the chamber of commerce they met along the way. The atmosphere seemed a bit solemn.
"Squeak." The wooden door of the small courtyard was closed by Jiang Li.
"Shua..." As soon as he turned around, Nalan Yuanshu's eyes moved, and he lifted his right hand on his shoulder. The huge brocade cloak was thrown by him on the shelf in the yard with a whoosh, and in an instant he slapped Jiang Li on the forehead in front of him.
past.
"Pa..." Jiang Li twisted his body, made tiger claws with his hands, and went forward.
Originally, he didn't think about fighting Nalan Yuanshu, but then he thought about it. It might be less troublesome not to fight, but it seemed better to fight.
On the one hand, Jiang Li's actual combat experience could be exercised. On the other hand, Nalan Yuanshu was a warrior and did not like businessmen or scholars, but he looked down upon warriors with the same superb martial arts skills.
If he wants to use Nalan Yuanshu's power to eradicate Lei Yixiao and Nengren Temple, he must first win Nalan Yuanshu's approval. In this case, today's battle will take place at the right time.
"Drink..." Unlike Jiang Li, Nalan Yuanshu didn't have that much on his mind. He just wanted to have a happy battle now.
"Well done." Jiang Li smiled slightly, his figure swaying like a tiger pouncing on its prey or an evil eagle catching a rabbit. He moved quickly and fiercely, and faced him without any sign of weakness.
"Bang bang bang bang..." Almost instantly, the yard was filled with the figures of the two fighting, and footprints one finger deep appeared on the ground.
Jiang Li's left hand is in the shape of a tiger, and his right hand is in the shape of a crane. His legs swing flexibly and freely. As time goes by, his movements become more and more skillful, and wisps of understanding gradually fill his mind.
"This claw should be like this..."
"The attack was too early..."
While fighting, Jiang Li suddenly felt extremely calm. Nalan Yuanshu's fierce and fierce movements in front of him seemed to last for two beats, giving him more time to deal with it.
"Bang bang bang..." The battle continued, but Nalan Yuanshu found to his surprise that Jiang Li's eyes seemed to be open and closed, and the movements of his hands seemed very slow, but he would always block his attacks very naturally.
Come down.
"President Jiang, can you only block? Since this is a battle, don't worry about my identity." Nalan Yuanshu shouted in a deep voice and immediately woke Jiang Li up.
"Block?" Jiang Li chuckled, suppressing the doubts in his heart for the time being, and struck him with sharp movements, using his right hand as a claw to grab it.
Since you begged to be tortured, don't blame me.
"Eagle claw hand." Nalan Yuanshu was shocked and hurriedly turned around to avoid it. He bent his back and Jiang Li's claws scratched his neck.
Nalan Yuanshu glared, reached out and touched his neck, and found that there were already a large number of dead goose bumps there. It is conceivable that if he had not been able to dodge just now, five blood holes would have appeared on his neck.
"Okay." In response to this, Nalan Yuanshu smiled instead of being angry, shouted and rushed towards Jiang Li, his eyes bright, and he struck out with the Shaolin boxing skills in his hand.
"Bang bang bang..." Jiang Li's right hand flew through the air, blocking all Nalan Yuanshu's attacks. His left hand went to Canglong Chuhai and hit his chest.
"Bang..." A dull sound sounded in the yard, and their bodies froze in place.
Nalan Yuanshu lowered his head and looked at the fist mark on his chest, his eyes bright.
"Admiral, I accept the concession." Jiang Li stood up with his fists closed and clasped his fists at Nalan Yuanshu.
"The power of the fist is hidden but it dissipates all the strength in my body in an instant. President Jiang is really powerful. In terms of boxing skills, I am willing to be inferior." Nalan Yuanshu patted the clothes on his chest and said to Jiang Li
.
When the two of them fought, they already knew that the other party, like themselves, was also a martial arts master who had understood the power of energy. In this way, if they wanted to decide the winner in fists and kicks, they would have to look at the speed of the two, and
Proficiency in boxing.
Facts show that Jiang Li is obviously better than him.
Even so, Nalan Yuanshu only admired Jiang Li's fist and kick skills, and he had to fight him to know about his other methods.
What he is best at is not fists and kicks, but sticks.
"You're welcome, sir. Please come inside." Jiang Li smiled lightly, stretched out his hand to Nalan Yuanshu, and invited him to come into the room.
Knowing the details, he naturally understood that Nalan Yuanshu was proficient in stick techniques and also invented his own cloth stick. Even Huang Feihong was tired of parrying at the beginning.
"President Jiang, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly. I still have official duties at the Yamen and cannot stay for a long time." Nalan Yuanshu raised his hand and said.
"Okay." Jiang Li paused, nodded,
"I only want a word from your lord."
"What are you talking about?" Nalan Yuanshu asked, frowning.
"I hope that from now on, the White Lotus Sect will not come to the four major chambers of commerce to cause trouble again." Jiang Li looked at him and said in a deep voice.
Nalan Yuanshu immediately raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Jiang Li without saying anything.
"Sir, we all know very well what the White Lotus Sect is. It is a pure cult that confuses people and harms the country and the people. However, after all, I am not a member of the government and have no right to deal with them.
However, this does not mean that the White Lotus Sect can come to the door every day to cause trouble. I, Jiang, a businessman, am more narrow-minded than anyone else, and the White Lotus Sect blocks my way of making money, so I have to move this stone away."
Jiang Li looked at him squarely and said in a calm tone.
"President Jiang, if you don't tell secrets, I can guarantee that things like today will never happen again in the future. But for the other three major chambers of commerce, the government can't act as bodyguards for them every day, right?" Nalan Yuan
Shu's eyebrows trembled and he spoke.
"That's not possible. If you do this, you will be hurting Jiang. The White Lotus Sect goes to the three major chambers of commerce every day to cause trouble. Only my Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is in peace. Even a fool can see that there is something fishy." Jiang Li chuckled.
He shook his head and said.
"What if I say it can't be done?" Nalan Yuanshu's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice.
"Then, our four major chambers of commerce can only jointly submit a letter to General Guangzhou, asking him to send troops to eradicate the White Lotus cult and eliminate future troubles forever." Jiang Li said word by word.
Nalan Yuanshu's breathing suddenly stagnated, and his face looked ugly. What kind of joint letter was not a bribe together? As the governor of Guangzhou, he knew better than anyone what the officialdom was like today.
Especially today's Guangzhou Generals are members of the Suchahar family. They are simply a bunch of reckless men who can't even write their names. How could they have been able to take the position of Guangzhou Generals without their ancestors having meritorious service?
He was sure that if the four major chambers of commerce really joined forces to bribe, with that glutton's temperament, there would be no reason not to eat the meat that was put to his mouth. By then, Guangzhou would be ready to attack, and the White Lotus Sect would simply be vulnerable.
By then, the great situation he had worked so hard to prepare would be completely shattered.
Nalan Yuanshu was furious, but he had to choose to bow his head.
"President Jiang, you win this time. Let's meet again in the future." Nalan Yuanshu put the cloak on the shelf behind his back, snorted coldly, and walked out.
"Sir, go slowly." Jiang Li sent him outside the Chamber of Commerce. The smile on his face disappeared instantly and he shook his head slightly.
Nalan Yuanshu was a hero, brave and resourceful, and one of the few high-spirited officials in the Qing Dynasty. He looked down upon foreigners and was not as groveling as other officials.
He kept the White Lotus Sect because he wanted to use the White Lotus Sect to control the foreigners in Guangzhou and tell them who is the master of this land.
It is a pity that although he is determined to serve the country, he lacks a little insight. He does not know that the current rotten situation has become irreversible, the top-down reform movement is difficult to see, and the violent revolution that advocates overthrowing the Qing government is fundamentally difficult.
Let him agree.
Therefore, he could only watch the Qing Dynasty deteriorate a little bit, do some things within his ability, and finally disappear sadly at the hands of Huang Feihong.
"What a pity." Jiang Li sighed and walked towards Jiang Mansion.
It's a pity that he and Nalan Yuanshu are different after all. Although Jiang Li is not a revolutionary party, he will never become a royalist. The two of them have different ideas.
"Nalan Yuanshu..." Jiang Li sighed faintly.
Nalan Yuanshu is actually the epitome of a small number of officials who are loyal to the Qing court today. They eagerly hope that their motherland will become stronger, but do not want to implement changes. In the end, they can only be caught between loyalty to the emperor and patriotism and making the country and people strong.
