Chapter Fifty-Four: Murder at the Door

  Gu Long's heart suddenly tightened, oh no, how did so many Japanese soldiers come?! It seems that their purpose is the same as those who carried the coffin earlier, which is to get the 'Missouri' plan! Moreover, judging from the expression of the Japanese military officer standing outside the door earlier, they are likely to be in cahoots with each other. Ice and fire!

  What surprised him even more was that these twenty or so military police were actually led by a lieutenant, which went against common sense. It must be an important task for a lieutenant to take action!

  That lieutenant didn't care about the astonished gaze of Gu Longfei and others, and strode into the courtyard with a big stride. With a wave of his hand, the military police behind him rushed in, quickly dispersing throughout the yard, and separately aiming their guns at Gu Longfei, Wu Long, Han Hu, and others! At this time, the monks who came to recite sutras and the geomancer who came to select auspicious hours thought it was just an ordinary Buddhist ceremony. Unexpectedly, before the cymbals had even sounded, a group of unidentified coffin bearers arrived with malicious intentions, but were knocked down by the host family. Before they could catch their breath, a large group of ferocious Japanese soldiers arrived, and everyone was frightened to the point of being paralyzed on the ground, not daring to move!

  Ah Shou saw a large number of Japanese gendarmes entering the courtyard, and his heart was anxious. He quickly left the corpse beside him, turned around, and stood in front of Hua Wushuang, exposing his chest to the bayonets of the Japanese gendarmes! The leader of the gang had just died from illness, and he couldn't let the leader's son be harmed! However, he forgot that he was also a mortal, and if the enemy were to open fire at this moment, how could he possibly withstand bullets that were ten times faster than their flying knives?!

  Wu Long took a step forward and asked, "What are you doing? We're all good people!" As soon as he finished speaking, his heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself, "Oh no, we just killed four people in the courtyard, how can I say that we're good people?"

  He glared at him and sneered, "Good citizen?" Then he walked to the front of the few people who had just been killed, stopped in front of them, pulled out his command knife, and poked it into one of the corpses a few times. "Hmph," he said, "These Koreans have big mouths, telling me they are eagles on Mount Changbai! Hmph, I think they're just fools, not even able to pluck a single hair from someone else's body before falling down!" Then he kicked the corpse fiercely with his foot several times before stopping.

  Gu Long Fei listened, and they were indeed a group! These few Korean warriors, possibly from the Changbai Mountains, wanted to invite their Japanese masters to make a move, boasting in front of them that it would be easy to capture the small knife gang without any effort. Who knew that after just one round of fighting, they ended up with a disastrous result, lying dead on the ground!

  The lieutenant slowly raised his head, with a proud and arrogant gaze, slowly sweeping across the faces of the crowd, and suddenly said: "Where is Huamanlou? Call him out to see me!" Although he had just seen the scene where Xiaodao's people joined forces to kill his scout, he knew that Gulongfei and others were highly skilled in martial arts and had a strong grasp of tactics. But at this moment, with his large army pressing down on them, more than 20 guns pointed at these "good citizens", they dared not to obey! So the tone of speech was still arrogant and disdainful.

  Kowloon knew the situation in front of him was extremely unfavorable to himself and others, and he didn't dare to make any rash moves. He could only wait and see! Either the Japanese would show off their might for a while and then leave on their own; or they would resort to violence and kill the enemy, but this was too dangerous. The brothers here wouldn't be able to withstand many of these Japanese military police who were armed with big guns and had been through countless battles. So he took a step forward and said: "It's already impossible for you to get an answer from the leader of the gang!"

  "That lieutenant's eyes narrowed as he asked strangely, 'What's impossible? I've sent people to investigate, and Flowerful Building hasn't left the door today. You think you can deceive me that easily?"

  The old dragon shook his head and sighed: "If you don't believe me, go ask him yourself!"

  "Where is he?"

  The ancient dragon flew over, pointed its mouth at the corpse of Huamanlou, which was still beside the coffin and hadn't been buried yet. He thought to himself, you little devil, if you want to ask him something, it's better for you to go underground and ask him yourself.

  That devilish officer, who had not noticed the corpse in the courtyard earlier, turned his head and saw Hua Manlou's body. His face suddenly turned white with rage, and he shouted: "Your conscience is utterly rotten! You're trying to deceive me with a dead man!"

  "Hey, Taigong, don't get angry! You wanted to see the leader of the Hua Gang, but he's right there - only he's already dead!"

  The lieutenant commander stretched out his knife and walked step by step towards the corpse of Huamanlou. He arrived in front of Huamanlou, suddenly thrusting the knife forward, preparing to stab her face a few times while checking if she was really dead!

  Kung Lung Fei was suddenly shocked and hastily shouted: "Don't be in a hurry, what do you want to find the leader of the Flower Gang for? I am now the leader, whatever problem can be found with me, don't go to trouble the corpse!"

  The lieutenant stopped the knife in his hand, slowly turned around and said: "You are the boss! That's good, Huamanlou must have handed that thing over to you. Take it out and we'll withdraw immediately, and we won't hold you accountable for killing these few people!" The Japanese were too eager to get that thing, as long as Gulongfei and others called out the thing, they actually didn't pursue their responsibility for killing those few people!

  "What thing!"

  "Operation Missouri!"

  "What is the Missouri Plan?" Gu Longfei's eyes widened, looking at his expression, as if he had never really heard of what the Missouri Plan was!

  That lieutenant saw this self-proclaimed "help master" person, asked three times without knowing, suddenly became furious, loudly shouted: "Ba Ga, your dishonesty will kill you!" After finishing, he pointed the tip of the command knife at Gu Longfei, trying to suppress Gu Longfei with his momentum.

  At this moment, a shout came from outside the gate: "Master Hua, I'm back... Eh? Why are there so many people?"

  Jiulong Fei and others looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that Hou Bu Yin had arrived. It was estimated that he had been sent by the leader of the Hua Bang, found Jiulong Fei, and given him some silver dollars. He then hurriedly went to buy medicine for his elderly mother and did not return with Jiulong Fei! Now it's possible that he has arranged things at home and is preparing to come back and report to the leader of the Hua Bang! He naturally didn't know that the leader of the Hua Bang had died, nor did he know that there were suddenly so many Japanese people in the courtyard. He rushed in recklessly and was startled.

  Hou Bu Yin had found Gu Long Fei, completed the task entrusted by Hua Bang Zhu, and obtained a few silver dollars. He then rushed to buy medicine for his mother at top speed and hurried back to the meeting place, wanting to see Gu Bang Zhu again and express his gratitude. But as soon as he ran through the gate, he suddenly saw a group of Japanese soldiers with live ammunition, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak!

  The Japanese lieutenant, seeing that there was no reason to ask questions, was already feeling displeased. At this moment, another person suddenly rushed in from outside the door, without hesitation, and handed his sword over to his left hand, drew a short gun from his waist with his right hand, and fired at Hou Bu Yin "Bang, bang, bang" - several shots!

  The rest of the soldiers, seeing the lieutenant fire his gun, did not wait for his order and pulled open their rifle bolts. A burst of gunfire rang out as they fired wildly in the direction of Hou Biren, "pa-pa" a chaotic volley of shots.

  Jade Dragon saw it and his heart was in a hurry, he hastily shouted to Hou Bu Yin: "Be careful, quickly dodge!" The bullets shot by the Japanese soldiers were dense like heavy rain, and it seemed that they would sweep Hou Bu Yin away like fallen leaves! Good Hou Bu Yin, although he had no position in the meeting and had not received any transmission from Hua Man Lou, but after a long time in the meeting, his ears and eyes had been influenced, and his hands were also relatively agile. He saw his body roll forward, dodging the pistol bullets of the Japanese lieutenant, and then drew out the flying knife from behind his waist, 'swish, swish' several times, the flying knife flew towards the Japanese lieutenant! Hou Bu Yin had just sent out the flying knife, other Japanese soldiers also fired at him non-stop, he was unable to stand still, could only roll forward again and again to dodge the bullets!

  Hou Bu Yin had not received formal training in flying knives, and the few knives he carried on his waist were just for show. At this critical moment, the flying knife he threw out in a panic was far from impressive, worse than a shepherd boy throwing stones! The flying knife he threw flew past the Japanese lieutenant's side without even tearing a thread of his uniform!

  Gu Longfei saw Hou Bu Yin's critical situation and didn't have time to think about whether he had a chance of winning in a fierce confrontation with the Japanese. He took big strides forward, throwing a punch at the Japanese lieutenant. The lieutenant's gun was out of bullets, and he was too close to Gu Longfei to shoot, so he quickly inserted his gun into his waistband and grasped the hilt of his knife with both hands, slashing towards Gu Longfei's fist!

  On this side, Wu Long, Han Hu, Hua Wudao, Ah Shou and the rest of the brothers, seeing that they had come to blows with the Japanese, all rolled onto the ground, shooting out flying knives as they rolled! In an instant, all that could be heard were bullets 'whooshing', blades 'humming', and the anguished cries of those who had been shot or stabbed!

  The old dragon glanced at everyone with a slanted eye, seeing that they were all fighting the Japanese together. He knew that once they started, they couldn't let a single Japanese person escape, or else he would run away and bring back a large group of Japanese soldiers, and this place would be flattened to the ground. Moreover, the small knife association, which had continued for many years, would also be slaughtered clean. So, while attacking the lieutenant, he loudly shouted: "Quickly close the door, don't let anyone escape!" As soon as his voice fell, two brothers at the gate immediately closed the large gate. At the moment of closing the gate, one of them was shot in the back by a bullet and fell to the ground, unknown whether dead or alive!

  Ku Longfei threw a punch at the lieutenant's chest, but the lieutenant raised his command knife and slashed it at Ku Longfei's arm! The Japanese steel-making technology was excellent, and the war knife they forged was extremely sharp. If Ku Longfei's arm was cut by the knife, one of his arms would be gone!

  The ancient dragon's flying skill was formidable, and as the knife edge approached, he suddenly changed his fist to a palm, flipped his wrist, and grabbed onto the back of the knife! It's worth noting that this move is extremely dangerous, and if the speed of the war knife is underestimated or the force on his wrist is insufficient, his arm will also be cut off!
