Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 514: Heart-to-heart talk between master and apprentice
"Master?!"

In the office of Yan Shuangying in the Military Control Commission in Shanghai, Wang Yi appeared in front of Yan Shuangying like a ghost.

When Yan Shuangying saw Wang Yi, his master whom he seldom interacted with, appear, the surprise on his face was not false, but his expression changed and he looked towards his desk.

"Okay, don't worry about the Military Control Commission eavesdropping. Since Master has appeared in front of you, he will naturally be on guard against this. Now it's just you and me, master and disciple, here."

Wang Yi sat down in front of Yan Shuangying and pointed at his desk. The Military Control Commission eavesdropped on their own people on a daily basis, and even though Yan Shuangying was a favorite of Boss Dai, he could not escape this.

Seeing Wang Yi point out the location of the bug, Yan Shuangying finally let down his guard, but the two of them just sat there, and for a moment it was unclear who would speak first.

After all, there was less than ten years difference between the two of them. He had rescued Yan Shuangying by chance outside the Great Wall, and it was just a whim that he took him in as a disciple. If he really wanted to be a master, he had never fulfilled any of his duties as a master.

After a long period of awkwardness, Wang Yi finally broke the deadlock.

"Have you ever blamed me for arranging you to go to Tang Sect?"

"No complaints. Shuangying is lucky to be saved by Master outside the Great Wall. Master also allowed me to learn so many skills in the Tang Sect. That's why Shuangying is where he is today."

"What about the Military Control Commission? You may be dissatisfied with this arrangement made by your master."

"I have no complaints, but I feel very tired, mentally exhausted."

"Oh? I'm curious about this. I heard from Lao Liu that your current position in the Military Control Commission is second only to Boss Dai, but above everyone else. You are in a high position and have great power. Your subordinates obey you. You have a wide network of contacts, a high position and a good reputation. It can be said that it will not be a problem for you to rise to the top in the government in the future. Why do you feel tired of my arrangement?"

"Because the Twin Eagles don't understand what they are fighting for now."

After hearing Yan Shuangying's answer, Wang Yi felt relieved. He did not use magnetic field waves to detect Yan Shuangying's brain wave fluctuations when he said this to judge the truth. If a master had to use such means, it would be too cheap.

When Yan Shuangying answered, his expression did not seem false. Of course, perhaps it was because of his years of experience in the Military Control Commission that he learned to lie with open eyes, but Wang Yi believed that this man's character had not been changed by the intrigues in the Military Control Commission. What Yan Shuangying said next made Wang Yi realize that he was indeed worthy of the name.

"Master, do you still remember when you rescued me from the devil's cave outside the pass, you pointed at the three Japanese warriors and asked me a question?"

"Of course I remember. I asked you that year whether the three Japanese warriors who came with me to rescue people were your enemies or benefactors. Your answer satisfied me very much."

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Shuangying understands this principle very well. During the years when I didn't know whether you were alive or dead, Shuangying has always remembered this sentence. Since I, Yan Shuangying, served as the captain of the action team of the Military Intelligence Station in Shanghai, every Japanese and traitor I killed deserved to be killed. There were no innocent people. However, the more I killed, the more Shuangying didn't understand. With half of the country occupied, why were there still so many people who wanted to be traitors?
If it were so, it would be fine. Now that the country is destroyed and the family is ruined, these people in the station sometimes prefer not to kill the Japanese traitors, but just want me to catch the Communists. I still don’t understand what heinous crimes the Communists have committed that make these people not care about the national hatred and family hatred, and want them to die. Working for such a government, Master, Shuangying can’t get over this hurdle of conscience. I don’t think such a government can rule the world even if it wins this battle. "

"Since you think the Nationalist government cannot rule the country, what do you think of the Communist Party?"

"Master, be careful with your words!"

"It's just you and me here, but you can talk."

"To be honest, Shuangying doesn't know."

Hearing his disciple's smooth answer, Wang smiled without saying anything. He just raised his hand and took a picture. A newspaper hidden in a book on the bookshelf in Yan Shuangying's office was taken by him. The newspaper was spread out, and four big words "On Protracted War" were printed on the page.

There were not many fragments recorded in the newspaper, only the core content, but when Yan Shuangying saw Wang Yi took out his newspaper, his heart skipped a beat.

"You don't know or you don't dare to tell?"

"Master, why do you have to test Shuangying like this?"

"I don't have the time to play tricks like testing people's hearts. Since you already have the answer in your heart, just do what you think is right and I will take care of everything."

Wang Yi could understand Yan Shuangying's tiredness. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, you, Yan Shuangying, used the excuse of not making things difficult for the Chairman, and turned a blind eye to the arrests of comrades on the underground invisible front in Shanghai. You also had a background, so those political enemies who wanted to bring you down really couldn't do anything to you because you had no leverage over you.

But what happens after the Japanese are driven away? Everyone knows that given the Chairman’s temperament, he will definitely suppress the Communists.

Would you, Yan Shuangying, dare to do this at that time? You, Yan Shuangying, only have two choices left. One, follow orders and be an honest executioner. Two, retreat bravely and protect yourself. But as a military commander, the family rules are there.

Even if you are Boss Dai's favorite, you can't always be famous. If you want to quit, you will die. Otherwise, you should just choose an easy job and stay under everyone's eyes.

Yan Shuangying felt tired because he understood this truth. If he could not get over the hurdle of conscience, he would be reckoned with in the future.

If you want to avoid being held accountable in the future, but also don’t want to have a guilty conscience and your practice to be unstable, there is only one way to go.

Wang Yi did not make it clear and let Yan Shuangying make the decision himself. All he could give him was to reassure him that even if he really wanted to retreat while the going got tough, he could still protect him.

"Okay, let's stop here for our reminiscence. I'm not good at talking to you, so let me test your skills now."

"Master, are you here? I'm afraid I can't use it."

"Don't worry, I have my own way, just relax."

Hearing this, Yan Shuangying calmly entered into a state of meditation and relaxed his mind. Wang Yi also closed his eyes. The master and disciple sat quietly on the sofa for five minutes.

Only then did they both open their eyes, and the moment Yan Shuangying regained his consciousness, his body was suddenly wet with sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water. He looked at Wang Yi, who was smiling and silent, as if he was looking at a ghost.

"Yes, it was a wise decision to teach you the reversal of the Wang School. If your dead master were alive today, he would probably die with a smile on his face. We haven't seen each other for many years, and I have some important matters to attend to this time, so I won't go into details. I will teach you two more techniques."

After saying that, Wang Yi put his fingers together to form a sword, first tapped his own forehead, and then tapped Yan Shuangying's forehead.

The speed was so fast that Yan Shuangying had no chance to dodge. As Wang Yi's fingers touched Yan Shuangying's eyebrows, a huge stream of information poured into Yan Shuangying's mind, making him at a loss for a moment.

"You are now in this place where there are many dragons and snakes. You have the means to fight, but you still lack the means to escape and save people. I will teach you the bone-pinching and painted skin and the golden escape and flowing light. As for the entropy increase and borrowing spell, you can put it last. This method is what I learned in the battle of Fucheng three years ago. I have only just figured out half of it now, so don't rush it."

This Golden Escape Flowing Light is naturally the Golden Escape Flowing Light that has already perfected the method of leading people to control objects. In the battle of Fucheng three years ago, before his death in the battle, Master Jin Guang sent this Golden Escape Flowing Light method that he had perfected before his death to the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, which ended his relationship with the Tianshi Mansion and Tianshi Lao Zhang.

Although Zhang Zhiwei was expelled from the sect and even issued a letter of resignation, Old Tianshi Zhang cherished Zhang Zhiwei more than anyone else. Old Tianshi Zhang had someone secretly send this perfect Golden Escape Flowing Light method to Zhang Zhiwei a long time ago. This time when Zhang Zhiwei came to see Wang Yi, he naturally returned this Golden Escape Flowing Light method to its original owner. As for how Wang Yi dealt with this escape light, it was not his business.

"Entropy increase? Master, please forgive Shuangying's stupidity, but this sect's name is a bit difficult to pronounce. Can you change it?"

"There's no rush. Just make do with what you have now."

Make do with it? Listening to Wang Yi's casual answer, Yan Shuangying didn't know what expression to respond with, but he still asked.

"Shuangying dares to ask, who else is there in our sect besides Master and Shuangying?"

"If that's the case, you still have an uncle. According to the time, I will probably be able to meet your uncle in Hong Kong Island in a week. I haven't seen this guy for many years. I wonder how he is doing in the United States."

America? Thinking of what he had just said in the conference room with the stationmaster and the Shancheng envoy, Yan Shuangying hurriedly asked.

"Master, my uncle who I have never met is on the same trip as John Wick, the head of the American Continental Group?"

"You know all this? Yes, Master has done a lot of business between the Continental Group and the National Government, feeding a lot of people."

"Master, my uncle is in danger!"

"Ok?"

Seeing Wang Yi's confusion, Yan Shuangying told Wang Yi all the information he had just obtained. Anyway, the order from the higher-ups was for me to keep a close eye on the Communists in Shanghai during the next period of time, and not let them steal key information from the Military Control Commission, and not let them pass the information on until the assassination was over.

My master is not a communist, so it doesn't count as a violation of confidentiality if I tell him.

After listening to the information Yan Shuangying told him, Wang Yi finally understood why all these Japanese aliens in Shanghai, including the Biheshan Ninjas, disappeared in just one day. It turned out that on the one hand, they knew they had no chance of winning against him and Zhang Zhiwei, and on the other hand, the Biheshan Ninjas had other tasks to accomplish, and Shanghai was just a temporary stopover for them.

Assassinate John Wick, the Continental Group's chief who represents the US president, at this critical juncture? Use this kind of coercion to force the US to continue to do business with Japan?
To be honest, Wang Yi really couldn't understand the Japanese's train of thought. After all, their navy and army were at loggerheads with each other. In order to prove who was the number one military branch in the country, these guys even came up with such outrageous moves as the army going north to fight the Russians and the navy going south to invade the US's Pacific hegemony.

Needless to say, in last year's Battle of Nomonhan, the Russians beat the Japanese Kwantung Army so hard that they cried for their parents, and the Japanese Navy directly set off firecrackers to celebrate.

This year it is the turn of the Japanese Navy to take on the big task.

"Master?"

"It's okay. I was just thinking that this time it was the Boss Dai from the Military Control Commission who teamed up with the Japanese to set up this scheme. Boss Dai is a good planner, but he never thought about whether the chairman would be on guard against him and plot against him when he did this."

"what?"

Yan Shuangying was puzzled, and Wang Yi explained the reason to him.

There is one advantage of looking at past history from the perspective of history, which is that it is impossible to infer the effect from the cause, but it is somewhat possible to infer the cause from the effect.

Would this assassination be successful without this extra factor? Wang Yi can guarantee that it will be a near failure.

But how did it all come to pass? It must have been at a critical moment when the Military Intelligence Bureau's intelligence personnel in Hong Kong Island took action to rescue John Wick, the American representative whom they did not know much about, and thus gained the other party's goodwill.

Because in Wang Yi's memory of this period of history, it was mentioned that the Military Intelligence Bureau had a glorious period due to the intervention of the United States. At that time, the Military Intelligence Bureau was full of talented people, all of whom were foreign students and had been trained by American officers. They also had the best equipment and were extremely rich.

If we add in the information Yan Shuangying is providing to us right now, it will become clear at a glance.

Use a life-saving favor to win the other party's allocation of resources after they intervene in the war. You can win over factions above and buy people's hearts below. With a little bit of background, you may be able to aim for the throne at any time.

"At this time, you are still thinking about these things in the future, it's really..."

"Well, now that I know this, I will not let him get his wish. Besides, Boss Dai has such a big plan, but he has never thought that even if he did not intervene, this assassination would not have been successful."

"why?"

"Because this John Wick is Master's old rival in the United States. Master and he had a fight in the United States, and the result was a draw."

Yan Shuangying:?

"Alright, I can tell you about these interesting things in detail when things are peaceful in the future. Now, just do what you think is right. I will take care of everything. I am leaving now."

After saying that, in front of Yan Shuangying's incredulous eyes, Wang Yi and the clothes on his body turned into a ball of white energy, which gradually faded in the air. Then the window was opened by an invisible hand, and the night wind blew, bringing Yan Shuangying back to his senses from his astonishment.

I walked to the window and looked at the lights and the people patrolling outside the intelligence station. Everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

Looking at the clock hanging on the wall, only a quarter of an hour had passed from the time Wang Yi appeared to the time he left.

But to Yan Shuangying, this quarter of an hour seemed as long as an hour.

After putting away the hidden newspaper and making sure that there was no problem with the bug under the table, Yan Shuangying returned to the window and said with emotion: "Master is truly a god."

As dawn broke, the people Liu Wei sent out to gather information came back to report that all the foreigners affiliated with the Japanese puppet government in Shanghai had received secret orders to evacuate in order to avoid Wang Yi and Zhang Zhiwei.

Although they already knew the answer, after confirming it, Wang Yi and Zhang Zhiwei were both amused and confused. The other party was also fighting a guerrilla war with them.

"Well, these Japanese aliens have learned a little bit of what the Japanese army didn't understand. But it doesn't matter. You fight yours and I fight mine. Lao Zhang, shall we go to the Three Demon Sect?"

"Whose escape light is faster?"

"to make."
