Chapter 61: Lingling Dog

  Why don't I tell you? It will suck your blood and chew on your heart.

  If you can still hold on, I have a long-lost Jianghu delicacy waiting for you to enjoy - my improved version of "Smiling Half-Step Stumble"! After eating the "Smiling Half-Step Stumble", you absolutely cannot take half a step or show a smile on your face. Otherwise, you will explode layer by layer without dying, and you will be in unbearable pain in your heart while unable to stop smiling on your face!

  Hahahaha... I bet you'll be more than happy to spill everything, the only condition is, let's get this over with and grant you a quick death, am I right, Mr. Zhao Gang? Zhou Yu said evilly to Zhao Gang.

  That's enough, I... I said, I've had enough, I'm begging you to give me a quick death! While Zhou Yu was still trying to continue his performance, Zhao Gang had already collapsed and stuttered, asking to confess in exchange for a swift execution.

  Can't collapse! Everything Zhou Yu said, if it were really applied to Zhao Gang's body, the pain would be so great that just thinking about it made Zhao Gang feel terrified. In Zhao Gang's heart, Zhou Yu gave him a feeling of being an extremely evil devil! Whoever heard it would not be able to bear it either! No matter what, it's all death, and it's better to invite it in and get it over with quickly!

  Through Zhao Gang's intermittent confessions, everyone learned that Cixi sent them to Vietnam in the north, and their real goal was to assassinate Liu Yongfu. As for the high-level officials of the Zhongyong Army, they were secondary. This time, Cixi only sent Zhao Gang and Li Gang over, while the other two powerful men were left by Cixi's side to protect her.

  There was another person that even Zhao Gang and his group didn't know, who was said to be a secret agent of the imperial court, Lingling Dog. As for what he looked like or what he did in the Zhongyong Army, Zhao Gang and his group had no idea, but Zhao Gang also revealed that this person had been in the Zhongyong Army for a long time.

  Li Gang is now Zhang Long's attendant 'Li San', still in Hawaii, never had the opportunity to return to Vietnam, so this time Zhao Gang acted alone and did not receive cooperation from others.

  After hearing this, everyone was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. The Empress Dowager Cixi was indeed ruthless enough to spend such a large sum of money for the sake of the Loyal and Brave Army, truly proving that "the heart of a woman is the most poisonous".

  When Zhang Long found out about this, he immediately went to Zhongyuan to confess his guilt, saying that he had misjudged the situation and asking Zhou Yu to punish him. As a result, he was severely scolded by Zhou Yu for being a "discordant zither player".

  Fortunately, Zhang Long, although he is usually cheerful and talkative, is more cautious when it comes to confidential matters. Li Gang, who had assumed the alias "Li San", did not obtain any useful intelligence, but only learned some details about military training.

  Through telegraph contact, Wang Chao and others in Hawaii received Zhou Yu's order to arrest Li Gang, so Wang Chao and others set up a big net for Li Gang in Hawaii.

  "Li Gang, come here for a moment." Li Gang, who was organizing files in Zhang Long's office in Hawaii, heard someone calling him and looked up at the person.

  Oh, it's Vice Officer Wang! What can I do for you? If there was something, just have someone notify me and you didn't have to come yourself! Li Gang ran hastily to the front of Wang Chao, bowing his head and waist to ask.

  "Give me another try, how did your instructor teach you, huh? As a soldier, one must have the demeanor of a soldier, why are you still acting like a slave?! Wang Chao scolded Li Gang loudly with an expression of extreme disappointment."

  Li Gang immediately straightened his back, reporting to the superior officer, First-Class Soldier 'Li San' is here to report. As he spoke, his two legs snapped together, and he gave Wang Chao a standard military salute.

  The king smiled contentedly and said: "Hmm! This is more like it, remember that from now on we will do it this way. Our Zhongyong Army doesn't follow the Qing's rules, we are soldiers of the Huaxia Revolution, not so-called dog slaves. Did you understand?

  Li Gang said loudly: Report to the superior officer, 'Li San' has remembered! May I ask for your instructions?

  Alright, 'Li San', hurry up and follow me. Our Commander Zhang Long is back, there's a major operation, everyone needs to report to Pearl Harbor base. Wang Chao said with a frown to Li Gang.

  Li Gang didn't suspect anything and quickly followed Wang Chao to the Pearl Harbor base. After arriving at the base, Li suddenly found that the atmosphere of the base was extremely tense today. Li was still puzzled in his heart, even if there were major actions, they wouldn't affect Pearl Harbor! How come Pearl Harbor is now heavily guarded by sentries everywhere, and even set up heavy machine guns?! Are we going to war with the Americans?!

  Li Gang had been to Pearl Harbor twice before, but only in passing and hadn't had the chance to carefully observe the base. It wasn't until a few months ago when he and Zhao Gang were sent to Vietnam by Old Buddha that he became Zhang Long's orderly due to a coincidence. Since Li Gang hadn't joined the Zhongyong Army for long, Zhang Long didn't take him to Taiwan to participate in the Battle of Taiwan, but instead left him in Hawaii.

  Li Gang has not had the opportunity to obtain confidential intelligence from the Zhongyong Army so far, so he has been procrastinating until now and has not had the opportunity to provide any useful intelligence to Lao Foye. The military discipline of the Zhongyong Army is very strict, and it is not possible to walk around randomly.

  However, Li Gang in Hawaii still discovered the strength of Zhongyong Army from some clues and knew that Zhou Yu was the real leader of Zhongyong Army, while Liu Yongfu was just a superficial leader.

  However, Hawaii is too far from the Qing dynasty, and intelligence cannot be transmitted well, so he plans to wait a little longer, until he understands the internal secrets of the Zhongyong Army, and then finds an opportunity to transmit the intelligence.

  What he didn't expect was that Zhao Gang's preemptive action had ruined his own plan, forcing him onto a desperate path, only he didn't know yet that he had already been exposed.

  Li Gang followed Wang Chao to the outside of the conference hall at Pearl Harbor Base, and the two were given guns by the guards on duty. Li Gang was very surprised, how could there be guns at a meeting? This had never happened before!

  The king then mysteriously raised his hand towards the sky and made a strange gesture.

  Just as he was bewildered, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his two legs, and then he fell to the ground with a thud.

  At this time, more than 10 fully armed loyal and brave military police rushed out of the hall, effectively controlling Li Gang.

  Li Gang shouted in a loud and angry voice: What do you want to do? What's going on here? I am Commander Zhang's orderly, I want to see Commander Zhang!

  The king at this time was finally free from distractions, and sneered at Li Gang, saying: "Li Gang, don't pretend anymore! We have already found out that you are a spy for the Qing Dynasty, and your accomplice Zhao Gang has been captured in Vietnam!"

  Li Gang's heart skipped a beat: "It's over, I've been exposed." But he still made a last-ditch effort, pretending to be puzzled and asked: "Vice Officer Wang, what are you talking about? I don't understand. I'm Captain Zhang's orderly, not some kind of spy. Please clarify the situation before speaking."

  Haha... you're stubborn until the end, but it doesn't matter, I have plenty of ways to make you tell the truth honestly. Wang Chao said with a crazy laugh to Li Gang.

  Take him away for interrogation at the base. Wang Chao ordered the constables with a smile after turning his face.

  After instructing the constables, he ignored Li Gang, who was being held up by the constables and struggling with his two bloody legs. He made a gesture towards the sky, and the snipers in the distance received Wang Chao's order and retreated. It was these snipers who had shot and injured Li Gang's legs. Wang Chao was afraid that Li Gang would escape using his lightness skill, so he secretly set up two snipers to disable Li Gang's legs first.

  Before Li Gang was aware of it, he was easily controlled by Wang Chao's plan. This so-called "Light Body Kung Fu" that was unmatched in the world, Flying Leg Li Gang had no room for resistance at all when faced with high-tech weapons.

  The dynasty then took out the set used on Zhao Gang and applied it to Li Gang, without much effort, the timid Li Gang thoroughly confessed, what he said was similar to Zhao Gang's situation, the only unexpected thing was that he unexpectedly confessed another message that everyone did not expect.

  That was George, an American engineer who had a secret agreement with Zhou Yu. He turned out to be an American agent, which Li Gang couldn't help but discover by chance when he was being a "gentleman on the beam".

  When Zhou Yu heard the news, after careful consideration, he decided not to alarm George for the time being, but instead had him secretly monitored. Zhou Yu wanted to play a game of "Infernal Affairs" with him and America.

  Because George is an ordinary person and doesn't have any special skills, it's relatively easy to monitor him.

  Although Zhou Yu swore to torture Zhao Gang and others to death in front of Hu Mei's sickbed, he still decided to give them a quick end as they were also Chinese. 'My evil is aimed at foreigners, not for dealing with Chinese people', Zhou Yu comforted himself secretly.

  After dealing with Zhao Gang and others, the Zhongyong Army conducted a large-scale internal rectification, registering and filing every person in the Zhongyong Army and their firearms.

  This has played a positive role in the internal management of the Zhongyong Army in the future.

  However, the big inner secret agent Lingling dog was still not found out. In fact, Zhou Yu had already locked in on the suspect in his heart, but Zhou Yu still wanted to give that person a chance to surrender himself, because so far, that person had not done anything wrong to Zhou Yu and Zhongyong Army. Emotionally, Zhou Yu still hoped that the person could turn back and choose to truly integrate into the Zhongyong Army instead of betraying the Qing Dynasty.

  This shooting incident made Zhou Yu feel the crisis of exposing the Zhongyong Army to the sunlight, and he demanded that Rong Huan and Liu Yongfu strictly screen the regular Zhongyong Army soldiers during selection, to prevent infiltration by external forces.

  At the same time, when treating Hu Mei's injury with intravenous drips, he used some old Western medicine formulas and his own invention of penicillin. Considering the huge market for this, he decided to invent vitamins.

  Vitamins were invented by Eijkman in 1897, but Zhou Yu has now brought them forward by over a decade, and the profits generated are also quite frightening.
