I'm the best catcher in martial arts

"Ahead is Bule Island."

Shen Lian stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the island in the distance. Ah Jin flew over to investigate and quickly returned. When he came back, he did not fly around Shen Lian, but dropped a piece of meat.

To be precise, it was a broken arm.

There are calluses on the tiger's mouth and fingertips. It is obvious that the sword has been held for a long time, the blood has solidified, and flies have even given birth. The time of death is about two or three days.

Shen Lian quickly analyzed: "There should be a firefight on Bule Island. I'll go investigate."

Tang Shunzhi nodded.

Shen Lian has strong martial arts skills and thick skin. Even if he encounters a powerful trap, he can escape in time.

Ah Jin led the way, and Shen Lian flew directly to the woods at the back of Bule Island and found the mass grave.

There are hundreds of corpses scattered here and there. The corpses outside have been burned and have become charred. The corpses below are stacked together, emitting a pungent stench.

Shen Lian suppressed his nausea and used his palm force to shake the corpse out of the ground. He patiently checked and found that there were not only Bule Island bandits but also Japanese warriors here.

Could it be that the Japanese captured Bule Island?

wrong!

This corpse died from the Shaolin Vajra Palm, this corpse died from the Wudang Tiger Claw Hand, this corpse died from the Flying Needle Hidden Weapon, it seems... the Sunflower Book!

Shen Lian quickly sorted the corpses into categories.

There are three waves of forces on this island, one is Bule Island, the other is Japanese warriors, and the last wave is unknown forces. They are the oriole in this battle.

Judging from the traces of the corpses, the corpses on Bule Island were mainly damaged by samurai swords, as well as the injuries caused by those mysterious masters. Some of the scars on the Japanese warriors came from Bule Island, and some came from those masters.

However, most of the injuries caused by Bule Island were on the chest, while the other wounds were mostly on the back.

Shen Lian quickly drew the process in his mind:

The samurai of the Japanese Yagyu family teamed up with mysterious forces to attack Bule Island. After capturing Bule Island, the group launched a sneak attack and attacked the samurai of the Yagyu family.

1. This group is very powerful and is proficient in the unique skills of various sects in the Central Plains, especially Shaolin. Shen Lian found traces of twelve Shaolin special skills.

Second, this group of forces is very trustworthy, or it can be said that a big force guarantees their trustworthiness, which makes the samurai of the Yagyu family trust them very much.

3. They killed all the Bule Island masters, killed all the Japanese warriors, and emptied the Bule Island treasure house, but their purpose was neither to plunder nor to occupy territory.

4. Why does it look like the power of the imperial court?

If a certain force has masters who are proficient in the secrets of Shaolin, Wudang and other major sects, and also know the Sunflower Book and Boy Kung Fu, this force is most likely affiliated with the imperial court.

This also answers the question of "credit".

If there is a guarantee from the imperial court, the Yagyu family will not be too defensive even if it does not completely trust it.

This also answers the "target" question.

Perhaps what the emperor wanted was cooperation, but this force chose to backstab, doing things very simply and neatly.

Are all the forces in the imperial court loyal to the emperor?

Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Liumenmen, which force doesn't hide a group of traitors? The blood drops of the Manchu Dynasty and the eleven wings of the Jin Kingdom also buried countless secrets.

If it was a force from a certain imperial court, this force would first use the imperial court's credit as a guarantee, reach a cooperation with the Yagyu family, and then stab them in the back mercilessly.

What does this mean?

It shows that this force has rebellious intentions.

Either Zhao Jingzhong had been buried for many years and was a traitor's pawn, or there were different forces within the court, some of which were dissatisfied with the emperor.

The former is simply impossible to guess.

How can you guess this?

Hu Gua didn’t even know where to start from.

Shen Lian could only think of the Qinglong Society and the Power Gang. These two families were all-purpose scapegoats. All undercover agents were either spies of the Qinglong Society or Liu Suifeng's secret chess.

If it is a force that is dissatisfied with the emperor...

This is definitely not a force from the Central Plains. Who can compete with Lao Zhu in the court? This is making fun of the Nine Tribes.

Foreign forces, first of all, excluding Japan, the Yagyu family will not trust other samurai families in Japan, and secondly, excluding the Mongolian Yuan, the Mongolian Yuan royal family is still very united.

All the remaining forces are possible.

Let’s talk about the northwest first, Wala.

Wala Khan was Tutuobuhua, and most of his power fell into the hands of the left prime minister Tuohuan and the right prime minister Ye Xian.

According to the information revealed by Zhang Danfeng, his father Zhang Zongzhou was openly helping Tuo Tuo Bu Hua fight for power, but secretly He was an ally with Ye Xian and was planning to stab Tuo Tuo Bu Hua in the back.

Let’s talk about the northern land, the Liao Kingdom.

Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Liao Kingdom was a little weak in character. He loved the culture of the Central Plains and had a long-term friendly attitude towards the Central Plains, which made the nobles quite dissatisfied.

When Li Xunhuan went to the Northland last time, he investigated the intelligence of the Liao Kingdom along the way, and found that the Liao Kingdom still had some unclear accounts.

Yelu Hongji's grandfather, Yelu Longxu, had two powerful sons, one civil and one military. The eldest son, Yelu Zong, was kind and generous, while the second son, Yelu Chongyuan, was brave and good at fighting.

When Yelu Longxu died, his legacy was passed to Yelu Zongzhen, but the Queen Mother doted on her second son and wanted to revise the emperor's edict. Unexpectedly, Yelu Chongyuan didn't want Yelu Chongyuan to learn about it, so she informed Yelu Zongzhen and supported her eldest brother to become emperor.

Yelu Zongzhen was so moved that he appointed Yelu Chongyuan as the emperor's younger brother on the spot, saying that if I die, you will be the emperor of Liao Kingdom, and we two brothers will be indistinguishable from each other.

It doesn't matter when you are healthy, but it doesn't matter when you are about to die. Before Yelu Zongzhen died, he made his son Yelu Hongji the emperor. The matter of the emperor's brother, just pretend that it didn't happen, and you are just a younger brother.

In order to calm down the situation in the court, Yelu Hongji named Yelu Chongyuan the uncle of the emperor, and the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses. He was exempted from paying homage to the court, and was given a gold coupon oath. He also named his son Yelu Nerugu the king of Chu and the south. Courtyard King.

This matter can be said to be a bit of nonsense.

How can the matter of the throne be such a child's play?

Either he will be given a false position and held high, or he will be killed by a ruthless hand. What is going on now?

Are you waiting for your uncle to steal your kingdom?

Yelu Chongyuan's reputation was much higher than that of Yelu Hongji, and he also had military power. If it had not been for the good relations with the Central Plains in recent years, border trade, mutual benefit, and many benefits, the throne would have been long gone.

Even if Yelu Chongyuan was selfless and worked conscientiously for the sake of the Liao Kingdom, his son Yelu Nerugu had long wanted to rebel, and there was only one opportunity to take action.

Further north from the Liao Kingdom were the Jin Kingdom and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Both families are quite divided within themselves.

Wanyanjue, the martial god of the Jin Kingdom, dreamed of becoming an emperor, but he only had no military power and no talent or strategy to govern the country, and all the officials did not obey him.

In the previous fierce battle between the Tang Sect and Tang Sect, Tang Bingbing led the Tang Sect's ninety-nine lone troops to the Kingdom of Jin. Together with the dozens of unique skills inherited by the Tang Sect, their power was greatly increased.

Wanyan Jue was a reckless man who could only swing his fists, but Tang Bingbing was quite capable. Tang Shiwu was extremely arrogant, but was able to gather so many people, and Tang Bingbing was indispensable.

With the help of Tang Bingbing, Wanyanjue gained the support of several important officials, and the opportunity seemed to be close at hand.

In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was the sequelae of the nine sons taking over the direct line.

In this world where there are many masters, due to the small territory and small population of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, the influence of martial arts masters is greater than that of the Central Plains. Therefore, Yongzheng cannot easily deal with his brothers as he did in history.

For example, the Ninth Prince Yunzhen, whose mother was the concubine Guo Luoluo of Yi, visited Kangxi privately in secret when he was young. He was close friends of life and death with the two oldest ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Relying on the protection of these two people, Yunzhen lived a very happy life.

Chai Jin can be called the "little whirlwind" of the Qing Dynasty.

For example, the Eighth Prince Lian Yunsu, whose reputation spread throughout the Qing Dynasty as the "Eight Wise Kings", was one of Yongzheng's strongest enemies before he ascended the throne. He originally wanted to get rid of him, but in order to balance the power of the court, he needed to be appointed and reused.

Everyone understood that the Eighth Prince Yunhu, the Ninth Prince Yunzi, and the Tenth Prince Yun all opposed Yongzheng.

He has failed to seize the opportunity now. As long as Yunhu takes the opportunity, he will join forces with the Fourteenth Prince Yunqi and the old flag leader of the Eight Banners, and he will definitely stab him in the back.

Look who is Baturu and who is Aqina.

Shen Lian remembered Yunhu's confident statement that he had a 90% chance of winning, and even if he lost, he would still have a plan to drive a wedge between Yongzheng's two sons, Hongli and Hongshi.

The chance of winning is 90%, but what about the remaining 91%?

How much should we give him as a gift?

Maybe I should help with this matter.

Shen Lian scratched his chin, thinking that he was not good at this kind of thing, so he should let Mi Cangqiong or Lu Bing do it, as they were the best at stirring up trouble.

Oara, Liao, Jin, and Manchu.

Which force did it?

Have I become a scapegoat?

As we all know, Shen Lian led the troops to exterminate the Japanese pirates. When he saw the Yagyu family plundering the island, he became furious and sent troops to kill them all. This reason is natural.

No one can find fault.

Even Shen Lian himself wanted to find a reason to refute, but he didn't know how to speak. He could only pinch his nose and admit it.

"It's a good plan. Not only did you get benefits, but you also deceived the emperor and Japan at the same time, and then you escaped unscathed with the help of me, the scapegoat. It's really a good method!"

Shen Lian closed his eyes and thought silently.

Ye Xian has a domineering personality and likes to be upright. These methods are not feasible in Ye Xian, and Wala is too far away from the ocean, so this plan is meaningless.

Yelu Nerugu was building up his troops and wanted to use his troops to launch a rebellion. It was probably not him.

Wanyan Jue, with his stone brain, even Tang Shiwu could deceive him, he should not have thought of this. If Wanyan Jue comes, he will definitely stay here and use the Jin Kingdom Heaven and Earth Hegemony Fist to touch his own Tiger Roaring Emperor Fist .

It is possible that Prince Lian Yunsu was the number one Aqina in the Qing Dynasty. Although this person had a reputation as a virtuous person, he was actually sinister and vicious.

"Ashes return to dust, soil returns to earth. Although you are either pirates or Japanese pirates, since you are dead, you should be buried properly and should not be fed to wild beasts and maggots."

Shen Lian rubbed his hands together quickly, and hot sparks erupted from his palms, igniting all the corpses in front of him.

Burn it with fire and it will be clean!

So as not to pollute the large areas of land here.

Not long after, Tang Shunzhi arrived with his people.

"Who are these people?"

"This is what happened..."

Shen Lian expressed his speculation, but did not say that his guess was made by the Manqing. This guess was too shocking, so it was better to hide it in his mind for the time being.

Tang Shunzhi said: "If I were asked to guess, I think it was the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. You may not know that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties had a navy back then, and the commander's name was..."

"...Shi Lang!"

"That's right, it's Shi Lang. Brother Shen is really knowledgeable and talented. He even knows about this!"

"Brother Tang, how should we deal with this?"

"Keep it. If it was done by the Manchus, they might make new arrangements here, or use this as a springboard to contact the Ming Dynasty Navy and Prince Lian, the eight sages of the Manchus. He is really a sage. !”

Tang Shunzhi sneered disdainfully.

Was the title "Wise King" given casually?

This title was used to seek death. It was a title meant to seek death, and he also did things to seek death. Prince Lian should not be too far away from the day of his death.

But then again, it would be absolutely impossible for Prince Lian to be a free prince, or to assist Yongzheng as wholeheartedly as the thirteenth prince.

You can kill me.

You can change my name to Aqina or Seth Hei, but I will never admit defeat.

This is Yunhu's idea.

Shen Lian sincerely hopes that Yunhu can survive for a few more years.

Everyone searched Bule Island carefully and found that there was no living person on the entire island, and the treasure house had been completely looted. Even the katana swords of Japanese warriors were taken away by Manchu masters, leaving only a lot of corpses.

Feng Suzhen frowned. She and Shen Lian had been out practicing for so long, and what they were best at was reasoning.

"Since the other party left the body behind, they just want to tell us that there is a force that is interested in this place, and it is a force from a foreign court, and they hope to cooperate with us."

Tang Shunzhi spread his hands and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. Let Dongchang go talk to them."

Shen Lian waved his hand to express his objection: "Jin Yiwei should be allowed to talk to them. Dongchang is too harsh."

Feng Suzhen said: "What should we do?"

Shen Lian smiled and said: "Of course I am leaving this beautiful island and recording my achievements by the way. This is the family crest of the Yagyu family. One of the corpses is the strongest genius of the Yagyu family, Yagyu Munenori."

"Is Yagyu Munenuki dead like this?"

"On this sea, who won't die? It wouldn't be surprising if anyone dies. Even if Miyamoto Musashi shows up and is beaten to death, it won't be surprising."

Shen Lian was quite calm about this.

Japan is also full of talents now. Compared with those legendary figures, Yagyu Munomi is still a bit behind, and Yagyu Jubei is about the same.

Tang Shunzhi joked: "If Miyamoto Musashi appears in this sea area, it will be difficult to surround and kill him. When this guy was young, his tactics were very dirty."

Tang Shunzhi, who was able to lead troops to fight, said that the opponent's tactics were dirty, which shows how dirty Miyamoto Musashi was.

This guy will do whatever it takes to win.

It is said that he made a duel with someone, and his opponent was a respected old man. According to Japanese rules, juniors should arrive early, or at least they should not be late.

Miyamoto Musashi was two hours late, letting the old man feel the cold wind for two hours in the cold winter. Then at dusk, he walked from the direction of the sun, dazzled by the sun and ice and snow, and then used an extra-long samurai cut from a paddle. The knife pierced his heart.

It's crisp and clear, and it kills with one strike.

Miyamoto Musashi won, but the tactics he used were too dirty even for Shen Lian.

Forgot to mention, Miyamoto Musashi is known as the god of martial arts in Japan, but he has two weapons. He uses a samurai sword for competitions and a spear for battlefields.

Miyamoto Musashi also played with guns. (End of chapter)
