Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

Two days later, Ruan Tao returned to Yinghe Tower as promised, and an elder from Qingzhuyuan came with him.

"Little Mountain Master, Ruan is here."

Shen Yan smiled and patted his shoulder: "Good brother, from now on we are brothers who share the same pot. Who is this senior?"

Ruan Tao introduced him: "This is our uncle from Qingzhuyuan. He came here to ask Manager Liu to verify the matter of my junior brother Hou Ling."

"What happened, Brother Hou?"

Ruan Tao sighed, "After we returned, our master found out about this and enforced the sect rules on me. My uncle also went to find Manager Liu to verify what happened that day."

"Brother Hou's character really deserves some advice. If we in the Xuan Sect cannot suppress our nature, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to continue on our path of cultivation."

That afternoon, Liu Wei's followers brought news from Japan, so Shen Yan conspired with Liu Wei.

"Uncle Liu, how credible do you think they are?"

Shen Yan had seen the Ishikawa family appear in his previous life, but from the plot on Nason Island, he couldn't tell whether Ishikawa's Fish Dragon Society was good or bad.

"According to my understanding, the Ishikawa clan has always had a good reputation in Japan, and they are also a samurai family that clearly stood out and did not support this war. I think they are still very credible."

Shen Yan felt relieved after hearing what Liu Wei said and decided to take a gamble: "It's settled then, Uncle Liu. We will trade with them in Sichuan and Chongqing in three months."

The two of them decided on the time and place and asked the inn's servants to start preparing.

"Uncle Liu, I plan to go north to Tianjin tomorrow to visit President Xia Gong."

"Well, it's better to go earlier. You have many places to go this time. Don't miss the transaction in three months."

Shen Yan assured: "Don't worry, Uncle Liu, it won't be delayed."

The next morning, Shen Yan led everyone and boarded the train to the north.

Thanks to Boss Zhao's relationship, Shen Yan and his group were given a private room on the train. This made things much more convenient for them. After all, there were many people on the train, and having a private room could save them a lot of trouble.

Lu Ren and the others were bored, so they ordered some drinks and chatted. Shen Yan meditated in the bedroom of the box, thinking about how to convince President Gong.

At night, Shen Yan felt a little hungry, so he asked Lu Ren to order some food from the dining car.

When Lu Ren came back, Shen Yan saw a mysterious smile on his face.

"How did you pick up money? You look so happy."

Lu Ren shook his head: "Captain, guess who I met?"

"Who?"

"The Flower Under the Leaves - Gong Ruomei, the only daughter of the president of the Huawu Association, Miss Gong Er"

Shen Yan was stunned and asked in confusion: "What a coincidence? Do you know her?"

Lu Ci took over the conversation from the side: "Yes, my father took us to visit President Gong, and we met this Second Miss Gong."

"Do you want me to invite her over?" Lu Ren asked Shen Yan.

Shen Yan thought about it and felt that since he knew they were on the same train, it would be unreasonable not to meet him.

"Okay, then let's meet this Miss Gong Er first."

Seeing that he agreed, Lu Ren walked out of the box. Miss Gong Er was sitting alone by the window, looking at the scene outside the window with deep thoughts.

Lu Ren sat beside her carelessly, and Gong Er frowned when she saw someone sitting next to her. This carriage was full of single long seats, where people could lie down and rest when they were tired. She thought the person who came had bad intentions and was here to cause trouble.

"Ms. Gong, long time no see." Lu Ren's smile was gentle and warm.

Gong Er found him familiar, and identified him carefully, then raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"You are Brother Lu!" Then she quickly lowered her voice. She knew what Lu Ren was doing now.

"Why are you here, Brother Lu?"

Lu Ren said softly: "Come with me, I'm in the box inside, I have a few friends who want to meet you."

Gong Er followed Lu Ren into the house, and Shen Yan looked up at her.

She was wearing a black cheongsam with a woolen shawl draped over her shoulders, and her long black hair was tied into a long braid behind her head.

She has a standard oval face, the only flaw being that her cheekbones are slightly high. Her facial features are small and delicate, her sword-like eyebrows reveal her heroic spirit, and her slightly downturned mouth corners reveal a stubbornness that refuses to admit defeat.

Shen Yan stood up and clasped his fists towards Miss Gong Er: "This must be Miss Gong, I am here to pay my respects to you."

Lu Ren introduced her: "This is our captain, Xiao Shanzhu Shen Yan"

Gong Er's eyes widened in surprise: "So you are the Little Mountain Master. Your name is so well-known. It's my honor to meet you."

"They are all empty reputations and should not be taken seriously. Please take a seat, Miss Gong," Shen Yan invited her to take a seat.

At this time, the waiter on the train also walked into the compartment carrying various foods.

"Miss Gong, you haven't eaten yet, come and have a bite together, and we can talk while we eat."

Everyone sat around Shen Yan. After taking a few bites, he put down his chopsticks and asked, "Why is Miss Gong on this train? Are you going back to the Jinmen Huawu Association?"

Gong Er nodded and said, "To be honest, Master Xiao Shan, I went to Guangzhou on behalf of my father to investigate the matter of spreading Southern Fist to the North, but the matter was put on hold due to the war, so I had no choice but to return to Tianjin to report to my father."

"Southern boxing is spreading to the north. I have also heard that President Gong presided over the spreading of northern boxing to the south in order to make the northern and southern external skills interoperable. Now the southern boxing is spreading to the north again. President Gong is truly worthy of being a master! Shen admires him."

Gong Er had a bitter smile on her face: "It's a pity that the Southern Fist was delayed by the war. I don't know if I will have the chance to see it again."

"Miss Gong, don't be so pessimistic. It won't be too late to do it when the Japanese are driven away. And I believe that by then, not only will the southern boxing be spread to the north, but all the external martial arts schools in China will be tolerant and learn from each other."

Gong Er was touched by his words and felt much better: "Master Xiao Shan, where are you going? I wonder if you can tell me."

"We are also going to Tianjin, and we are here specifically to visit President Gong."

Gong Er looked puzzled when she heard this: "Looking for my father? What's the problem with the little mountain master? Although Gong Er is a woman, she is willing to help the little mountain master."

"Um... let's wait until we meet President Gong. Mainly, Shen doesn't know where to start."

Gong Er saw that he was not in a position to answer directly and stopped asking.

After dinner, Shen Yan gave the bedroom in the box to Gong Er, and he and others squeezed into the open room outside.

It was already noon two days later when they arrived in Tianjin. Shen Yan and others followed Gong Er out of the station and hailed a few rickshaws to enter the city of Tianjin.

At that time, Tianjin was one of the most important cities in China, with Tianjinwei at the lower end of the Nine Rivers, three floating bridges and two passes.

The bustling Quanyechang, various signs of commercial and foreign companies demonstrate the prosperity of the city, but behind the prosperity, the concessions of various countries also mean that the country's sovereignty is being violated.

After sending Gong Er to the gate of Gong Mansion, Shen Yan said goodbye to Gong Er: "Miss Gong, it's getting late today. I will come to visit you tomorrow morning. And you must have something to say to President Gong after coming from afar, so I will not disturb you for now."

"What should I do? Young Master, we are already at the doorstep, why don't we stay inside the mansion?"

Shen Yan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Miss Gong. Just tell President Gong that Shen Yan will visit us tomorrow for important matters. We can also go around Jinmen City. Please pass this to President Gong for me."

After saying this, Shen Yan handed the iron plate in his arms to Gong Er, then took everyone on a rickshaw and drove to the hotel in the city.

Gong Er stood at the gate holding the iron plate. She recognized this iron plate. It was the identity plate of her Gong family Bagua disciples. The Ding character on it was the symbol of her uncle, the Guandong Ghost Ding Lianshan.

After playing with the iron plate for a while, her heart began to waver. She knew that Shen Yan must have something extremely important to tell her father this time, which might even concern the future of the entire Gong family.
