"you......"
Li De was speechless for a moment, then took the tea and drank it down in one gulp. "You're so old already, if you never learn martial arts in your entire life, am I supposed to be imprisoned by you for the rest of my life?"
"That should be the case, so you should tell me the incantations for lightness skill and internal energy cultivation as soon as possible!"
"I've already said, I'd rather die than reveal the secret formula. If you want to learn, you have to pass the test and join my Swallow Sect." Li De knew that the old man in front of him was too old to achieve much more than he could.
"How do I get started? Where can I get started?"
"To join, you must first find the leader of my Swallow Sect. The current leader is Li Xian," Li De said.
Where is Li Xian now?
Niu Bi was a little anxious. Why is it so troublesome? Why don't you just say it directly?
"I have no idea."
Li De said helplessly, "As you know, Zhang Zuolin is currently issuing a warrant for the arrest of my nephew, Li Yunlong."
"In order to mislead the warlord Zhang Zuolin, all the members of my Swallow Sect have been scattered all over the country, creating the illusion that there is a Swallow Li San in every place, and that the sect leader cannot be found for the time being."
"Then I'll have to make you stay here with me."
Niu Bi spread his hands and said.
Half an hour later, Liu Feng brought a doctor, and the bullet was removed in just a few minutes.
Niu Bi instructed Cui Jie to prepare some soup to nourish Li De's body.
Li De lost too much blood and fell into a quiet sleep.
......
Three days later.
Li De sat in a wheelchair, having breakfast with Niu Bi on the second-floor balcony of the villa.
The two ate and talked.
“Mr. Niu, I feel you’re not like those gang leaders. You’re a bit different.” Li De said as he picked up a piece of pancake and stuffed it into his mouth.
Although Li De did not achieve much in martial arts, his insight was remarkable.
These past few days, judging from Niu Bi's demeanor and manner of speaking, he doesn't seem like one of those arrogant gang leaders at all; on the contrary, he gives off a sense of approachability.
His attitude toward his nanny and bodyguards, in particular, says it all.
Furthermore, Mr. Niu wanted to practice martial arts. If it were anyone else, they would definitely have used torture to extract a confession, but they didn't.
"Really? Didn't you call me a traitor that day?"
Li De chuckled and said, "Because Feng Jingyao colluded with the Japanese, and you replaced him, knowing the Japanese's nature, they will definitely find you to be their new agent!"
“I know that Feng Jingyao colluded with the Japanese, and I actually hate the Japanese too.”
Niu Bi said slowly, "By the way, since you don't think I'm a bad person, why don't you teach me martial arts?"
"That won't do, it's against the rules!"
Li De shook his head like a rattle drum, extremely rigid.
"Alas, it seems I'll have to take care of you in your old age," Niu Bi sighed.
Just as Li De was about to speak, Sister Cui walked in. "Boss, there's a woman outside requesting an audience. She says her name is something like 'Kouxiangzi'."
"Chewing perfume? A woman?"
Niu Bi was taken aback. I don't know any women in Shanghai!
"I'll go down and take a look." Niu Bi greeted Li De and followed Sister Cui downstairs.
Upon entering the living room, I saw a pretty woman dressed in Western style with a woolen hat standing in the middle of the hall, looking around.
Upon seeing Niu Bi appear, the woman glanced at him briefly and said in somewhat broken Mandarin, "Hello, Mr. Niu, let me introduce myself. My name is Yamaguchi Kaori, and I am the representative of the Imperial Army here."
"Since you have replaced Mr. Feng Jingyao, we now want to cooperate with you."
"So it's Yamaguchi Kaori, a Japanese woman!"
Upon seeing the woman, Niu Bi was startled and, without a word, immediately refused, saying, "I'm sorry, but I'm a patriotic person and will not cooperate with the Japanese devils!"
"you!"
Upon hearing Niu Bi's direct refusal, he immediately said in a threatening tone, "Mr. Niu, do you know what you're saying?"
Do you know the consequences of refusal?
"In this Shanghai, although you have replaced Feng Jingyao, if our Imperial Army so desires, we can remove you at any time!"
"hehe!"
Niu Bi sneered and pointed to the door. "Turn around the corner, don't bother seeing me out!"
"you!"
Kaori Yamaguchi's expression changed, and she said coldly, "You Chinese have a saying: 'If you don't listen to a polite toast, you'll have to drink a forfeit.' We'll see!"
"hehe!"
