The Heavens: Cross the World

Chapter 98 Lu Haodong (Ask for a monthly pass!)

The people in the south did not have any good impression of the Qing court.

Even compared to the mentality of the people in the north who fear the government, these local people who have been colonized for a long time are more courageous.

Because the invaders broke everyone's perception that the government is the sky, it turns out that those who are as powerful as officials are bullshit in front of foreigners.

Xiaoliuzi, a small coachman, dared to open his mouth to insult the government, which shows to what extent the Qing court has lost morality.

It's just that what Feng Ji is concerned about at this time is not the Qing court's loss of popular support, but Wang Wu's whereabouts.

Liu Yongfu left Guangzhou and went to Annan to help defend. Did Wang Wu go with him?

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden crowd of people in front of him, and street vendors gave way one after another.

There was the sound of musical instruments beating in the distance, and the coachman Xiaoliuzi also hurriedly stopped to dodge, and quickly said: "Master, get out of the way, it's the White Lotus Sect parading the street."

Feng Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at the road that the crowd made way not far away.

But I saw a group of teams in white costumes walking towards us, carrying a huge paper-made statue of the Inanimate Mother, surrounded by mages protecting the Dharma, and a band playing.

Walking in the front is a girl with a white lantern in her hand, her face is expressionless, like a statue of a fairy Buddha in a temple.

A believer next to him sang loudly: "The white lotus descends to earth, and the people will turn over!"

The team shouted in unison: "Bai Lian descends to the earth, and the people turn over!"

"Kill all foreigners and share peace!"

"Kill all foreigners and share peace!"

"White Lotus Sect, subdue demons!"

"White Lotus Sect, subdue demons!"

……

Feng Ji couldn't help showing surprise on his face. The White Lotus Sect in the south is so rampant that they dare to preach on the streets in public!

"Little Six, the White Lotus Sect is so arrogant, the government doesn't care?"

Hearing the words, Little Six said in a low voice: "They really want to take care of it, but how can they do it."

"Annan is fighting the French, and the imperial court wants to send troops."

"Taiwan was invaded by the Japanese, and we have to fight."

"You are making trouble in Boxer Boxing in the north, and you are also fighting."

"There are wars going on everywhere now, how can the imperial court have the troops to control the White Lotus Sect."

"Besides, the people of the White Lotus Sect didn't oppose the Qing Dynasty, they just opposed the foreign religion and killed foreigners."

"The officials who are officials will not take care of them unless foreigners force them to do so."

Feng Ji couldn't help but have a better understanding of the situation in the south.

"It seems that the Qing Dynasty is indeed approaching its doom, and it feels that it has lost control of the south."

Feng Ji thought about it, and felt more and more that if he wanted to build power, he still had to gain a foothold in the south.

Now that the south is not under the control of the Qing court, it is a good time to seek territory.

At the same time, he also remembered that at the beginning of Mr. Sun's revolution, it also rose from the south.

I am afraid there is also a reason for this.

Of course, since ancient times, most of the wars from south to north resulted in failures.

Therefore, Feng Ji can develop power in the south, but the power in the north cannot be left behind.

His thoughts gradually converged as the White Lotus Sect team left.

Little Six took Feng Ji and continued to walk to the place on the address.

Not long after, the street in front of me became clearer, and the surrounding environment became much cleaner.

There are more facades of the surrounding buildings.

"This is Nanqiao. It's a relatively well-known location on our side. It's a place where rich people stay."

"Master, you look like a rich man."

Feng Ji smiled and said nothing.

Not long after, Little Six stopped in front of a Western-style building.

Feng Ji glanced at the manor that looked like a foreign garden, and said, "This is it?"

"This is the address on your note."

"This seems to be the Lu family. Is the person you are looking for named Lu?"

Feng Ji nodded slightly, and said, "That's it, I'll trouble you, little six."

"Hey, it's all part of my job, sir, if you still use the car in the future, just go to the pier and find me."

Feng Ji smiled and asked, "How much can you earn by pulling a car for a day?"

"Uh, why are you asking this?" Little Six was taken aback.

"Little six, I'm new to Guangzhou and I'm not familiar with the place. I need someone to help me. How much do you earn driving a car a day? How much will I drive for you? How about following me during my stay in Guangzhou?"

"Ah? Is this... is this true? I can pull dozens of times a day, and it costs at least fifty or sixty copper coins." Little Six was surprised and hurried to confirm.

Feng Ji didn't talk nonsense, he handed out a silver ingot from his sleeve, and said, "Look, how long will this silver ingot last?"

Little Six was ecstatic, he quickly took the silver ingot, bit it into his mouth, and saw a row of teeth marks on the silver ingot, he was overjoyed immediately.

After weighing it again, the silver ingot was probably worth ten taels, so he knelt down and kowtowed excitedly.

"Master, the villain is willing, willing, don't worry, what dirty work you have to do next, just tell the villain, the villain will definitely work hard!"

Feng Ji smiled, helped the other party up, and said: "Then it's settled, you follow me these few days."

"Hey."

Little Six nodded repeatedly, and the others were also smart, and immediately said, "Master, what do I call you outside? Young Master? Boss? Sir?"

Feng Ji smiled: "My surname is Feng Mingji, you can just call me Young Master."

"Okay, young master, then I'll call the door for you."

Little Six quickly got up and took the initiative to call at the door of Lu's house.

Feng Ji stood aside and waited.

Not long after, an old man hurried over inside.

The other party didn't open the door, but looked around through the iron gate and said, "Who are you looking for?"

Little Six quickly laughed and said, "Old man, our young master is a friend of Mr. Lu and wants to visit Mr. Lu."

"Your young master? Which young master?"

Feng Ji came over, smiled at the old man and said, "Old man, I'm Feng Ji, from Jinmen, Mr. Lu Haodong, is Mr. Lu at home?"

"Jinmen... Oh, you are the young master of the Feng family, right? Please, please, our young master has already told this old slave."

The old man opened the iron gate to welcome Feng Ji.

Little Six hurriedly pulled the cart into the manor.

The lawn in the yard is neat, the green plants are lush, and the gazebo is not Chinese style, but European and American style.

Feng Ji was slightly in a daze, and had the illusion of returning to modern times in a trance.

This house is out of tune with this era.

The old man smiled and said, "Master Feng? Our young master has gone out to do some errands, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while, so let me show you around first?"

Feng Ji came back to his senses and said with a smile, "What's your name?"

"Master Feng, just call me Dayou Lu. I'm the housekeeper of the Lu family."

"Uncle friend."

"Oh, don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it."

"You are about the same age as my father. You should be called Uncle You. Uncle You, I want to ask Mr. Lu if he has found a sister?"

When Uncle You heard this, he shook his head slightly: "This old man doesn't know."

Feng Ji frowned slightly. Uncle You is the housekeeper of the Lu family. If he doesn't know, it means that the elder sister is not in the Lu family.

From this point of view, I am afraid that Lu Haodong has not found the eldest sister.

Feng Ji couldn't help but feel a little worried. The situation in Guangzhou is complicated now. The White Lotus Sect, foreigners, and gangsters are all intertwined. She doesn't know if there is any danger.

"Looks like I have to go to Duan's house to look for it."

Feng Ji immediately asked, "Uncle You, do you know where Dongqian Street is?"

"Dongqian Street? Over there has become a Japanese Concession, are you going to the Concession?"

Feng Ji knew that the Duan family was ruined because of the concession.

Nodding immediately: "Yes, I'm going to the concession."

"I'm afraid it will not be easy. The Japanese Concession is very strict against the outside world, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter."

"why?"

"Naturally it was defeated in the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], and there were demonstrations everywhere to resist the Japanese."

Seeing Feng Ji frowning, Uncle You couldn't help but said, "Well, Young Master Feng, why don't you stay here first, and let the young master think of a way to see if he can clear up the relationship and bring you in when the young master comes back in the evening."

"Our young master went to Nanyang to study abroad, maybe there is a way, please don't be impatient, this journey has been hard, let's take a rest first, how about it?"

Feng Ji thought for a while, nodded slightly, and agreed with Uncle You's suggestion.

Right now, he is not familiar with Guangzhou, and he doesn't know what's going on with the Duan family or where the eldest sister's family is.

Perhaps Lu Haodong has already investigated a lot of things during this period, and it is not efficient to go out and search randomly by himself.

Now clean up your mood and move into Lu's house.

At the same time, he asked Little Six to go back and clean up, and wait for him at the door tomorrow morning.

Entering the living room, Uncle You poured Feng Ji a cup of tea, and said with a smile, "Young Master Feng came from a long way, to try this Fujian Dahongpao."

Feng Ji picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile, "The tea is rich in fragrance, good tea."

Uncle You was overjoyed and said, "Master Feng is coming to Guangzhou for the first time?"

"Well, it's indeed the first time here."

"It's not a good time to come to Guangzhou. Recently, the White Lotus Sect took advantage of the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War and started to preach. The streets are very chaotic."

"Feng came all the way and saw it too, Uncle You, do you know General Liu Yongfu?"

"Who doesn't know about General Liu? He is a great hero. If he and his Black Banner Army hadn't guarded him, we wouldn't have known what it would be like to be bullied by foreigners."

Hearing this, Feng Ji quickly asked, "General Liu has gone to Annan now, but did his Black Banner Army go with him?"

Uncle You shook his head: "No, General Liu's Black Banner Army only took away a small group of elites, and most of them were dismissed by the court."

Feng Ji frowned: "Dismissed? Have you heard of the Broadsword Squad of the Black Banner Army?"

"Big Sword Team? I've heard of it, but I'm not very familiar with it. Who are you looking for?"

"I am an old friend with Wang Wu, the captain of the Broadsword Team. The Black Banner Army has been disbanded. I don't know if he is still in Guangzhou now."

Uncle You couldn't help laughing: "You have to go to Baozhilin to ask about this."

Feng Ji was taken aback: "Baozhilin?"

"Yes, I heard people say that although General Liu's Black Banner Army was disbanded, those elites did not go back. Instead, Master Huang Feihong from Baozhilin took the lead and formed a militia in Foshan, waiting for General Liu at any time Dispatch."

"Your friend might be in the militia in Baozhilin."

Feng Ji couldn't help but look weird when he heard these words.

Vigilante?Huang Feihong?

Did I encounter the plot of Huang Feihong series?

Feng Ji couldn't help asking a few more questions in detail, and finally confirmed that the Huang Feihong here is really the Huang Feihong of the movie world!

While the two were talking, they heard a laugh coming from outside.

"Uncle Friends, where is Brother Dao Ke?"

"Is Brother Dao Ke here?"

But at the door, a thin young man in a suit and tie walked quickly.

The young man is about thirty, wearing a round cap, a beard on the corner of his mouth, and leather shoes on his feet.

As soon as he entered, he saw Feng Ji.

With a look of joy on his face, he hastily stretched out his hands and shouted, "Brother Daoke?"

Seeing this, Feng Ji also stood up, shook hands with the other party, and said with a smile, "It's Feng."

"I have known you for a long time, Brother Dao Ke, Jinsun mentioned to me the northern hero several times, saying that among Jinmen, you are the number one in terms of martial arts. When he said that you are coming to Guangzhou, I was so excited all night. Please sit down, please sit down."

Lu Haodong was quite polite and very enthusiastic.

Feng Ji even said, "I don't dare to do it," and sat down.

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, Feng Ji got to the point and asked, "Brother Haodong, I don't know if Brother Jinsun asked you in the telegram, do you have any idea?"

Hearing this, Lu Haodong couldn't help showing a look of shame, and said: "I couldn't handle the matter of Lingjie, I'm really sorry."

Feng Ji frowned: "Brother Haodong, what happened? Where are my elder sister and the others now?"
