A day later, Lao Li and Mr. Tan were drinking tea in their house in Nanshi.

"Your move is really amazing. Old Li is still good!" Mr. Tang looked at the white pieces surrounded by dead corners on the Go board, and sighed.

"Overall, the third in the world!" Li Tiancheng chuckled and shrugged.

"If you praise me for a few words, your tail will rise to the sky."

The two of them won five games in a row, and Li Tiancheng won four and lost one, killing Mr. Tan to pieces.

"I can't play anymore. Old Li is indeed an alien. We Earthlings are not our opponents!" Mr. Tan finally had to spread his hands and admire Li Tiancheng's chess skills.

"You lost today. According to the rules, please treat me to tea!" Li Tiancheng did not plan to spare Mr. Tan.

"Okay, okay, I'm willing to accept the loss. I'll treat you to the guest. Let's go to the Kebanxian Teahouse to take a seat."

Then the two brought a few plainclothes guards and called a rickshaw to the Kebanxian Teahouse near the concession. Kebanxian is a relatively high-end teahouse with elegant and unique layout. The teahouses are opened with wooden grids and curtains can be pulled up. The tea drinkers do not interfere with each other, and the price is also a little more expensive.

The two went early and went up the second floor. There was no one on it. They found a window near the street and sat down. The guy put two pots of fragrant tea. The tea fragrance suddenly filled the tea, and the three guards sat on the tea seat next to them.

"Lao Li, have you heard of the riots in the public concession?" Mr. Tan took a sip of tea and then talked about the incident in which Lao Zhang was beaten to death in the concession two days ago.

"I heard from the guards that those foreigners are unchanged in China's land and bullied our people wantonly. The officer named Ma Chaoyun is a hero. He dared to challenge foreigners and grew the ambition of the Chinese people."

"Now there are not many people in the Qing army who can stand up and beg for mercy. I have seen too many ugly faces in the officialdom. There are many dogs who are waving their tails behind foreigners' butts. There are indeed not many people who are as backbone as Ma Chaoyun. It is really admirable!" Mr. Tan also admired Ma Chaoyun's behavior.

"It's a pity that people like this in the Qing Dynasty often cannot be valued because they are too upright and upright people often fail to succeed in the officialdom. They are not smooth enough and do not know how to please the boss, so how can they get the favor of their superiors?" Li Tiancheng also sighed.

"It would be great if the times could change. The conservative forces in the courts were still very strong, and it would be even more difficult to change them." Tan Jianye said with a slightly dark face.

While the two were drinking tea and chatting, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the stairs, and then two officers in military uniforms walked up. It was Ma Chaoyun and Lu Yuzheng who were making trouble in the concession two days ago.

Ma Chaoyun is medium-sized and quite strong, with a strong aura on his face. Lu Yuzheng's skin is slightly dark, his body is also very strong, with a round face and big ears. The two of them took off their official hats and put them aside.

"Two soldiers, this is the best Longjing in the shop. I will present it to you two, please use it slowly!" The waiter politely brought a pot of fragrant tea, placed it on the table, and then turned around and left.

"Brother Ma, do you think those foreigners will hand over the murderer?" Lu Yuzheng sat down and said to Ma Chaoyun.

"I, Ma Chaoyun, are not afraid of it. If they don't make friends with me, I will take people to ask them for someone in person." Ma Chaoyun patted his chest and said righteously.

Although the two are superiors and subordinates, they are actually good brothers who debuted at the same time. They have always been called brothers. Ma Chaoyun is a peasant son of Suxian, Jiangsu Province, and Lu Yuzheng is also from a poor family. He was originally a farmer who farmed in Pudong, Shanghai. Both of them are soldiers who are more upright in the army, with a strong sense of national crisis and national self-esteem. They all have a sincere heart to serve the country and have always opposed the Qing government's servitude towards foreigners.

"Ma Chaoyun, we are lucky. We can meet this person in such a place." Li Tiancheng's eyes lit up after hearing the conversation between the two, and he turned his head to look at them.

"Brother, are you the infantry commander Ma Chaoyun who made a big fuss in the concession two days ago?" Li Tiancheng decided to meet the two heroes. After listening to the conversation between the two for a while, he left his seat and walked forward to bow and bow to him.

"It's my fault, who are you?" Ma Chaoyun looked at Li Tiancheng up and down, a little surprised, then stood up with confusion and said in his greeting.

"I am the owner of Nanshi Zhenhua Company. I am very impressed by the deeds of two heroes who are not afraid of violence and seeking justice for our country. I want to get to know you, but I wonder if you can appreciate your face?" Li Tiancheng did not call himself the chairman because this term is not popular in this era.

"It turns out that it is Li Dongzhu, who is famous in Shanghai. Your new technology products have made the Chinese people famous. We have heard of Mr. Li's name for a long time, but we don't have time to visit him. I don't want to meet him in the teahouse today. I'm really lucky!"

"Where are there." Li Tiancheng was polite.

"We are just dissatisfied with what foreigners do in our country. When we see injustice, we draw our swords to help. What should we do in our Chinese men do, so we should pay attention to what we should do!" Ma Chaoyun also said modestly.

"If you don't dislike me, let's work together and sit down and talk about it?"

"It's so good, Mr. Li!"

Then Li Tiancheng introduced Mr. Tan to the two. The two sides politely argued with each other and sat down to discuss. From the riots in the concession to the national economy and people's livelihood, the four of them felt that they met too late.

"Since Mr. Li has so many new technology products in his hands, there is something unknown. Why has Mr. Li not come up with any decent technology in military preparations to improve our dynasty's military preparations and resist foreign enemies?" Lu Yuzheng then expressed his own question.

"Brother, then I have to ask. If I were Mr. Li, I wouldn't have taken out the new technologies to the corrupt officials of the court. If they took them away, they would have kept them for oppressing the people, engaging in factional struggles, and protecting their own private interests. Who would have considered the interests of the country and the people? If I were Mr. Li, I would never have used these weapons and technologies. I would have secretly treasured them and slowly developed my own power to compete with those corrupt officials and foreigners. Mr. Li, are you right?" Ma Chaoyun looked at Lu Yuzheng and retorted.

"Brother Ma said Li's thoughts. Even if Li had these things, he would not use them for the corrupt government of the Qing Dynasty. He could only ruin my new technology for them." Li Tiancheng agreed with Ma Chaoyun and nodded with a smile. This was actually his always-pretending approach, secretly developing power and preserving his strength without revealing it.

"One day I'll visit Mr. Li's factory. I heard that there are light-emitting lights, non-rust knives, and many fresh things. We are still burning kerosene lamps at home. I really want to see your rare things."

"Okay, okay, no problem! I will invite you to your home someday."

.........

The four of them chatted for more than three hours before the heroes met and left reluctantly. From the conversation, Li Tiancheng saw that Ma Chaoyun and Lu Yuzheng were both depressed and unsuccessful people. They had a mind of worrying about the country and the people, and they were ambitions to govern the country and pacify the world and drive away external humiliation. However, they were unable to show their ambitions. When they met Li Tiancheng and Tan Jianye, they complained and expressed their ambitions.

The three-day deadline was soon arrived. Zhang Tiewu took dozens of brothers from the dock to the gate of the concession, waiting for the foreigners to hand over the people, but in the end the news was that the American soldier who shot and killed people had been secretly sent back to the country. Smith deceived them and had no intention of handing over the people at all.

Zhang Tiewu then went to the yamen to seek justice, but the people in the yamen bombed Zhang Tiewu and others on the grounds that the matter was a foreign-related case and were not under their jurisdiction. Zhang Tiewu then brought his brothers back to the dock angrily and drank with his brothers from the Tiandihui to relieve their boredom.

"Master, I can't just let it go for this matter. Those foreigners bullyed people too much. My father died so unknown. The murderer could not get the punishment he deserved. I must not give up!" Zhang Tiewu took a sip of the wine, swallowed it in one gulp, and then threw the wine glass to the ground, smashing it to pieces, and said indignantly.

"Brother, brother, I am your boss, and the brother of all the brothers in distress you and the Tiandihui. Your father is my father. I will take care of this matter. Brother Huang. Let's go to the concession and find the foreign devils on duty that day, beat them up to avenge Tiewu's father." Huang Heshan then broke a wine bowl and stood up and said to Zhang Tiewu and his brothers.

"Yes, Tiewu's father is our father. Let's listen to the master of the hall. What should the master of the hall do? Give orders!"

The brothers were in agitation and threw down the wine glasses in their hands, stood up and shouted in unison.

"All brothers from the Tiandihui Sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-

"Okay, follow the instructions of the hall master!"

"Master, I have different opinions. We brothers are not opponents of foreign gun teams. We should bear it!" A man with a horse face came out to object.

"You are afraid of death. If you don't go, we won't pull you. Don't stop us from doing things."

"Yes, brother who is afraid of death, I, Huangheshan, will never force me. I stand up and leave now. We will take our own paths in the future. We will pretend that we have never met each other." Huangheshan was a little unhappy and said loudly to the horse-faced man.

Seeing that everyone was excited, the man shrank his head and retreated, without continuing to object, but he was very worried about his safety and it was not convenient to withdraw at this time, so he had to follow them first before talking.

"Brothers, go back and search the guys!" Huangheshan issued the last order.

Huangheshan hid more than a dozen Mauser and Carbinyang rifles in his private home, and then added the earth guns and hunting rifles that other brothers had gathered together, a total of more than 30 guns. The other brothers all held machetes and ran towards the public concession.
