Chapter 43: Blood Wolf Order (1)

  Hou Dashun guessed the intention of his superiors, and Hu Zhiyong was also thinking about Hou Dashun's telegram.

  "Master, Hou Dashiun has sent another telegram. He is preparing to send out a portion of soldiers to harass the Japanese army using night raids and surprise attacks." The telegraph operator came in once again, reading from the telegram sent by Hou Dashiun.

  "Alright!" Hu Zhiyong stood up happily, looking at the officers and said: "Each regiment sends out a squad of snipers to use cold guns to deal with those bastards!"

  "What's 'Cold Gun Movement'?" Liang Chengfu was puzzled.

  "Set up ambushes around the town, at intersections and road junctions, shoot once and change location!" Hu Zhiyong gave orders with a grin, instantly lifting the morale of all troops.

  "Good idea!" Liang Chengfu waved his hand and shouted: "Change shifts every three days, record a merit for each 'shooter' who kills more than two people. If there are more than three, we can gather them together to cultivate them. Young master, this will boost their enthusiasm for military training."

  "Agreed!" Hu Zhiyong nodded: "In addition, a promotion of one rank and the issuance of a sniper rifle!"

  Nine teams suddenly mobilized more than 100 sharpshooters, and the province of Dan Dong provoked the devils near the new "Spring". On December 28th, the first batch of people who launched the attack returned, all exceeding three digits.

  "The second batch of men is on the move!" Hu Zhiyong was delighted, and without realizing it, he had eliminated several hundred devils. This battle was fought 'very' comfortably.

  Tianhua Mountain, Hou Dajun replaced shooting training with cold gun movement. Every day, two accurate shooters would move out, bringing several apprentices to play a game of cat and mouse in the autumn night's garrison.

  Every time a group of people comes back, he will hold a small meeting to summarize.

  "Little mountain, use the scope, start practicing from setting the sniper speed to 20+ in the settings bar, and slowly 'refine' it as you lower it. Can't change abruptly! Finally adjust to around 10."

  "Got it, Sergeant!" Little Mountain may not have hit anyone, but he had already gained experience. With renewed confidence, he launched another attack, definitely not firing a blank shot.

  "Big bear, sniping requires patience, grasping the opportunity and mastering the wind speed. After each shot, find out the reason for failure, I believe you will soon become a god of guns! These new warriors, one by one, are fearless like newborn calves. Hou Daxun is delighted to have such soldiers under his command."

  "Company Commander, the devils have already gone into hiding and rarely come out. Also, I discovered an unusual move today, the little devils have also started sending people to ambush us halfway!" The company commander was originally a sniper himself, and when he personally led the team down the mountain, he almost got taken out by the little devils.

  "I've already got a plan!" Hou Daxun said with an eerie smile, leaning in close to San Lian Chang's ear.

  It turned out that Hu Zhiyong had expected it. No one is willing to suffer losses, let alone the "clever" little devils. The first and second batches of people ambushed successfully, he has already ordered a change in sniping habits.

  Dandong Japanese Command, Akino is reporting to his division commander. Nakajima Keiichirō's face turned black, the big battle didn't kill so many people, but in just a few days in the rear, they lost three or four hundred men.

  "The military department has sent a batch of sharpshooters, if you fail again, you will cut your belly to apologize to the Emperor!"

  "Hey!" Akino led the group back to Tenkawa Mountain, but to their surprise, those snipers never showed up again. They froze in the snow for three days while all the troops at Shōka were celebrating New Year's.

  Hu Zhiyong has been a bit down in spirits these past few days. Liang Shizhang and Li Erzhu teased him for working too hard at night.

  "This is really weird!" Hu Zhiyong scratched his head, awkwardly telling several team leaders: "On the first night, things stayed in the living room all night. On the second night, they went to 'bed' and actually 'covered' their heads and slept soundly, sleeping until dawn! By the third day, Brother had already thought it out, saying that no matter what, he had to enjoy the wonders of the gentle village. Who knew, this gun suddenly malfunctioned and refused to listen to my orders!"

  "Master, you haven't given the bride a 'kai bao' yet, have you?" Li Erzhu said with a sly smile, looking at the door of the inner room and saying in a low voice: "Three big beauties, are they so excited that they've lost their minds?"

  "What's weird is that as soon as I enter Huo Feng's room, I can kill three arrays in a row and still be full of energy. Chief Advisor, advise me, what's the problem here?" Hu Zhiyong had initially thought he just had a case of 'impotence', but after experimenting in Huo Feng's room, he felt there was an issue.

  Li Erzhu's big eyes blinked solemnly: "Are you too excited? Why don't you also start a cold gun movement?"

  Liang Chengfu burst out laughing and scolded his chief of staff: "Ambush? How is this an ambush?"

  "Let the three of them secretly switch rooms at night without turning on the lights. Don't try to figure out who's who, just fire away!" Li Erzhu didn't finish speaking before he burst into laughter himself. The living room suddenly became lively.

  New 'Spring', Zhuanghe is in a joyful atmosphere. The troops are on holiday for two days, and many people come to the city to watch the play. By noon, Liang Chengfu and the team leaders bid farewell and leave.

  Hu's mother left her wheelchair and could slowly walk by herself. After lunch, she called Hu Zhiyong to her room, closed the door and said softly: "San Er, I want to tell you about our family's origins!"

  "Mom, you talk, I'm listening."

  As for the history of the Hu family, Hu Zhiyong really didn't understand a thing. Mrs. Hu sat down, a hint of pain appearing on her face.

  "In the year 1723, on November 13th of the 61st year of Kangxi's reign in Beijing, a state of emergency was declared within the nine cities. The Kangxi Emperor passed away, sending shockwaves throughout the nation. The successor was not Erwang (the second prince), who had been the crown prince for nearly forty years; nor Sanwang (the third prince), who was well-versed in classical studies and history; nor Bawang (the eighth prince), whose reputation for virtue had spread far and wide; nor Dawang (the fourteenth prince), a great general deeply favored by Kangxi. Instead, it was the fourth prince, Yinzhen, known as the 'Cold-Faced King'."

  In order to ascend the throne, he watched from the other side of the river as the Eighth Prince and the Crown Prince fought each other to mutual defeat. The Eighth Prince, Yinxiang, finally realized that this was a trick used by the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, to seize the imperial throne!

  At that time, your great-grandfather was the 'private' son of the Eighth Prince. In order to preserve this lineage, he handed over the task of guarding the large batch of treasures and treasures looted by the Qing Dynasty when it entered Central Plains to your underage grandfather.

  At that time, your second uncle, third uncle, and the ancestors of the high-ranking officials were all bodyguards sent by the Eighth Prince. Our four families have been hiding in Zhuanghe County ever since, never getting involved in the turmoil of the imperial court.

  "Mom, are we royal descendants? Are we Manchu people?"

  Hu Mu nodded and continued:

  "Hundreds of years ago, the Qing emperor's decree 'Han people are not allowed to enter Liaodong' was like a conjecture that tried to cover up its own desires. As a result, a legend about Hetuala and the Qing dynasty's dragon pulse and treasure house began to circulate within the imperial court, palace, and among the rivers and lakes."

  Hutu Ala, the place where the Qing dragon rose, the first capital of the Manchu Qing dynasty, is located 4 kilometers east of Yongling Town, Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County, Fushun City, Liaoning Province, on a horizontal ridge south of the Suzi River.

  As for the treasure, it must start with Empress Abahai. Abahai was the mother of Nurhaci's 14th son, Dorgon, who was his most beloved. During his lifetime, Nurhaci had always wanted to pass on the throne to Dorgon, but after his death, the Khan's seal fell into the hands of his eighth son, Hong Taiji.

  Although Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, the gold and silver treasures in the national treasury were still controlled by Abahai. Afraid of being plotted against, Huang Taiji issued an ultimatum to Abahai, who was not afraid of soft or hard tactics: either hand over all the treasures or be buried with Nurhaci together.

  After Abahai's death, Huang Taiji was obsessed with the treasure and finally, under his brutal torture, the officials of the Imperial Household Department revealed that the treasure had been transported from the secret passage of the Imperial Household Department to the Khan Wangjing.

  Then, the impatient Huang Taiji ordered people to search for the treasure from both entrances of the well and the secret passage by following the vines. However, the two groups of people who were sent to search for the treasure lost contact, and the ropes used for communication were also broken by some unknown animals.

  "Wolf, Snow Wolf!" Hu Zhiyong exclaimed in shock, only then did he realize the deep connection between the Snow Wolf and the Hu family.

  "The true location of the Qing treasure is only known by Eighth Brother. Before he passed away, he left behind three 'jade' Buddhas and one gold Buddha, telling your great-grandfather: The treasure is hidden within these Buddha statues, those with fate will be able to unlock it!"

  From then on, the true location of the Qing treasure was no longer known to anyone, and the fate of the treasure became even more mysterious. San Er, why did I choose to give you the golden Buddha in the first place? It wasn't because I wanted you to uncover its secrets, but because I had discovered the wolfish ambitions of the Gao family! Why did your three uncles' and two uncles' daughters marry you and your brothers? It was all to conceal the secret of the treasure. Now, with the former Qing emperor Aixinjueluo Puyi establishing a regime in Northeast China, you must seize the opportunity to find the treasure and use this wealth to help him regain power!

  Hu's mother's words made Hu Zhiyong feel both shocked and amused. Restore the country? To restore that corrupt Qing dynasty? A puppet regime controlled by the Japanese, after restoration, help him let the Japanese plunder on the land of China?

  "Mother, do you know about Puyi? An emperor who betrays his country for wealth and glory by relying on foreigners, is he the one you hope for? In the past, in order to escape from Tianjin, he hid in the trunk of a car, disregarding his noble status. Now, his regime is controlled by the Japanese, and they want me to assist such a person?" Hu Zhiyong asked repeatedly, causing his mother to sigh painfully.

  "This is the will left by your great-grandfather, let us swear to pass it down from generation to generation!"

  "Mom, do you want us to carry a heavy burden like you and be buried with the damned Qing dynasty? Forget it! You can take away the Jade Buddha and Golden Buddha, big brother and second brother can give them to whoever they want! Mom, it's not that I'm unfilial, but I'll walk my own path, I won't let you arrange my life!" Hu Zhiyong refused, and opened the door to call over three beauties: "Give the Jade Buddha and Golden Buddha to mom!"

  Three women didn't know what was going on and didn't dare disobey Hu Zhiyong's words. They threw down three expensive necklaces and took the bride away.

  "Master, what should I do!" Hu Mu cried out loud and fell onto the bed wailing. Shi Yinping wanted to go over to take a look but was pulled back by Hu Zhiyong: "Let her calm down and think, this foolish loyalty is frightening!"

  Hu's mother cried for a while in the room, then got up and walked out of the door onto the main street. In a carpenter's shop, she took out a token: "Quickly give me three hundred good hands, I want to set off immediately!"

  "Order of the Blood Wolf!" The carpenter shouted, then bowed respectfully: "Master's wife, I'll go and do it now!"

  The Blood Wolf Order was the earliest intelligence organization of the Qing Dynasty. All members were Manchu people, and they hid among the civilians in various industries. In those years, they had a great war with the Blood Drop Child to protect the treasure, both sides lost a batch of the best talents and stopped fighting.

  Hu's mother waited for more than an hour, then was carried away in a sedan chair towards the northeast. Hu Zhiyong discovered his mother missing and saw a letter left on the 'bed'. He stamped his foot and shouted: "Go! Go take a look at the emperor you have in mind, see if he looks like a slave!"
