Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

In the early morning, vendors in Chang'an City had already set up their stalls, and different hawking sounds could be heard on the streets.

"Youpo noodles, spicy hot soup, fresh stuffed buns"

The air is filled with the aroma of various foods, making people drool.

"Drive, drive"

Two fast horses came galloping out of the city gate, raising a cloud of dust on the ground and causing a commotion on the street.

The vendor who was cooking noodles in the soup pot hurriedly covered the pot with a lid to prevent dust from entering the pot. The vendor turned his head and spat.

"Bah, you two cowards are just trying to reincarnate!"

The people riding the horses were Gong Er and Guan Lin. They had hardly rested since they came out of the New 1st Regiment and rushed to Chang'an without stopping.

"Xu~"

When they arrived at Baicaotang, the largest pharmacy in Xi'an, the waiters outside were cleaning the outside of the pharmacy. Seeing the two men dismounting and walking inside, a waiter hurried over to stop them.

The clerk said politely, "Gentlemen, our pharmacy is not open yet, so you may as well wait for a quarter of an hour. After the store opens, I guarantee that you will be the first to get medicine or see a doctor."

Gong Er's voice was a little hoarse from the fatigue of the journey: "I am Gong Ruomei, the fiancée of Shen Yan from your Shen family. I have something urgent to see Master Shen!"

The waiter did not dare to neglect it. The news of the marriage between the Rigong family and the Shen family had spread throughout the Shen Mansion. The waiter led the two into the medicine shop and asked someone to serve them tea. He went to find Zhang Gui who was sitting in the shop.

Not long after, Zhang Gui came out from behind and greeted Gong Er with a smile when he saw her.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Guan, how are you two..."

Gong Er didn't bother to greet Zhang Gui when he saw him: "Brother Zhang, something happened to Shen Yan!"

In the main hall of the Shen Mansion, the old hall masters Shen Shuren and Shen Zhongde listened to Gong Er and Guan Lin recounting past events.

Shen Shuren was holding a teacup in his hand, and when he heard that Maoshan was destroyed and the old mountain master Shi Jian died, he crushed the teacup in his hand. The old hall master's angry eyes frightened the people around him and they dared not even breathe.

Old Hall Master Shen Shuren and Shi Jian have known each other since they were teenagers. When they were young, they often worked together to treat illnesses and save lives. After decades of friendship, he now knows that his old friend has passed away and was blown to pieces by the Japanese. He grits his teeth in hatred and his blood boils.

"puff..."

The old hall master spat out a mouthful of blood, and everyone rushed over to check. Shen Shuren waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, rinsed his mouth, and then looked at Gong Er.

"Go on"

After Gong Er relayed the story of Shen Yan leaving the army to look for Shinozuka Yoshio, she stated the purpose of her visit.

"Grandpa Shen, the organization speculates that Shinozuka Yoshio is likely to set a trap near Jinling. The purpose is to lure Shen Yan into the trap. I hope you can go with us and persuade him to come back."

Shen Shuren nodded after listening to this: "Okay! You two kids have worked hard on this journey, go down and have a rest first. I will make some arrangements, and then we will set off."

"Thank you, Grandpa Shen."

Shen Shuren shook his head: "I should thank you. Shen Yan is my grandson, so you are welcome to come to my place."

"please"

A waiter came forward and took the two men to an empty house to rest. After the two men left, Shen Zhongde said to Shen Shuren.

"Father, let me go. I will definitely bring Yan'er back. Your body cannot stand such hard work."

"It's okay, I'm still alive. Even though you are his father, you can't bring him back. The relationship between Old Shitou and him is much deeper than you think, Zhang Gui."

"Master" Zhang Gui walked forward and waited for orders.

"Take my token and go to Longhu Mountain. Although they have already invited Zuo Menzhang, Maoshan is still under the leadership of Zhengyi after all. One more person means more insurance. Shen Yan's accident is a small matter, but Maoshan can't withstand a big storm!"

"Zhang Gui, I'll leave right away!"

Shen Shuren looked at Shen Zhongde again: "After I leave, you should keep in touch with the Holy Land. If you have any news, use the Yin-Yang paper to pass it on."

"Yes, father"

After making the arrangements, Shen Zhongde went down to select his entourage and prepare the necessary items for the trip. Not long after, the doorman of the Shen Mansion came in to report the news.

"Sir, a guest has arrived"

Shen Zhongde was worried that his son was not in the mood to see guests, so he replied: "Just tell him that the Shen Mansion does not see guests, and we can talk about it another day if there is anything."

"Master, it's someone from the Holy Land."

When Shen Zhongde heard that someone was coming from the Holy Land, he hurried to the door. Several men in plain clothes were waiting in the reception room. Shen Zhongde recognized the handsome man in the middle at a glance.

"Mr. Xiangfei, it's you who is here"

Xiang Fei stood up and shook hands with Shen Zhongde: "Yes, I just returned to the Holy Land yesterday. I came to visit you and the old hall master."

"Please quickly"

Shen Zhongde led a few people to the main hall, where Shen Shuren was sitting, reminiscing about his past with Shi Jian. Hearing footsteps outside, he wiped his eyes with his sleeves.

"Father, Mr. Xiangfei is here to see you."

"How is your health, old master? I came to visit you without telling you in advance, and I hope you can bear with me."

Shen Shuren stood up and offered him a seat: "Haha, no problem. I'm so happy that Mr. Xiangfei is here. Please take a seat."

After everyone sat down and exchanged greetings for a while and waited for the waiter to serve tea, Shen Shuren asked, "Mr. Xiangfei, you are here for my grandson Shen Yan's matter, right?"

Xiang Fei nodded slightly: "Old Hall Master, you already know everything. To be honest, I came here just because of Xiao Shen's matter."

Shen Shuren stroked his beard and said, "Shen Yan's comrades from the army arrived at the Shen Mansion early this morning. If you had come later, I would have left Chang'an with them."

Then Shen Shuren asked the waiter to go to the guest rooms at the back to invite Guan Lin and Gong Er.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is your torch-bearing leader, Mr. Xiang Fei."

Guan Lin and Gong Er had long heard that Zhiju's direct supervisor was Xiang Fei, but it was always Shen Yan who contacted him individually. They had never met him before, so they were very happy to meet the two of them this time.

"Hello, Chief!"

The two men saluted Xiangfei, and Xiangfei shook hands with them cordially.

"You are all doing well. I thought you would have to wait another day to arrive. I didn't expect you to come so soon. You must have suffered a lot along the way."

"Don't be hard, Chief"

Xiangfei looked at the two of them and nodded, with a look of relief in his eyes.

"My purpose this time is the same as yours, both of us are here to ask the old hall master to come out of retirement. The organization has another requirement, which is to bring your captain back to the holy land safely. He wants to have a chat with your captain."

The day before Xiang Fei arrived, there was a heated discussion in the Holy Land about Shen Yan's issue.

Some people thought that Shen Yan was too impulsive and did not care about military discipline at all, so he should be given a severe punishment. However, most people thought that there were reasons for the incident and a minor punishment was enough.

The two sides even quarreled about this, and in the end He slammed the table.

"What are you doing? Now we should consider how to bring him back safely, not how to punish him! If we talk about responsibility, the first ones to bear the brunt should be the commander of the New Fourth Army. If they had been more resolute at the time and took Taoist Shi with them, wouldn't these things have happened?"

Finally, He decided the outcome of the matter, whether to impose punishment or not, and what kind of punishment to impose, all of which would be decided after Shen Yan came back, and the priority of all matters was Shen Yan's safety.

Xiang Fei said to them earnestly: "Old Hall Master, I'm counting on you. You must make sure that Xiao Shen returns safely. He is a hero of our army. He and I will be waiting for his return in the Holy Land!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiangfei. I will risk my life to bring this kid back."
