The Two Heroes of the Ye Family

Chapter 220: Skilled and Courageous

Ye Minghao looked at Teacher Chen and nodded at him.

"Teacher, the leader of the ghosts is most likely my third brother, so please keep it a secret for him.

He came to me a few days ago, and I could clearly feel an invisible aura from him.

This invisible energy puts a lot of pressure on me."

There was one thing Ye Minghao didn't say, his third brother had already left Hujiang and taken the train to Jinling.

The day before his third brother Ye Xiaoyang left Hujiang, he moved into Villa No. 70 in the International Settlement.

"Oh, there is such a thing. I once heard that a martial arts master with great skills can overwhelm others with his aura.

It seems your third brother's martial arts skills are even better than before. I remember you said his master was a lay disciple of Taoism."

"Yes!"

"If your third brother doesn't tell me, I'm afraid he'll think it's a bit cruel to slit the throats of all the traitors and their lackeys in the name of a ghost who wants to take his life.

I believe your third brother and his friends don't want people to know that the ghost that took their life is actually their brother."

"I think so too. The way the ghost acts is contrary to the family traditions of our Ye family in Gusu City."

Teacher Chen pondered for a while.

"Minghao, don't mention the words 'murder ghost' in front of your third brother from now on.

We must not tell this speculation to anyone, not even to our closest relatives."

"Teacher, I think so too. My third brother's temperament is very different from before he disappeared.

Maybe the assassination attempt on him changed his personality; before the assassination he was very optimistic and naive.”

"Minghao, are you worried that your third brother is too murderous?"

“I’m a little worried, but when I think about it carefully, there’s actually nothing to worry about. Third Brother killed those who deserved to be killed.

So far, he and his men have not wrongly killed anyone, and it can only be said that he has become more clear-cut about his grudges.”

"That makes sense. Your third brother is patriotic and hates evil. He kills traitors and running dogs without mercy. He is a true hero.

I particularly admire your third brother. He is a living hero in my mind.

Your third brother is a man of great wisdom, and his predictions about the future are frighteningly accurate."

The teacher and student continued chatting.

……

At this moment, Ye Xiaoyang was drinking with Yamaguchi Yui at the Fushi Teahouse geisha house owned by the Jinling Yamaguchi-gumi.

"Miyamoto-kun, this time in Jinling, I feel that your aura is much stronger than the last time we met."

"Yamaguchi-kun, I have made some progress in practicing Chinese martial arts during this period, but it's a pity that I can't find more Chinese martial arts."

"Yes! Chinese martial arts are extensive and profound. I have always been very interested in Chinese martial arts. What a pity!"

Ye Xiaoyang didn't want to continue this topic.

"Yamaguchi-kun, when are you planning on returning to Tokyo?"

"Miyamoto-kun, do you want to go back to Tokyo and take a look?"

"With this plan, is it appropriate for me, a beautiful countryman, to go to Tokyo?"

"What's inappropriate about that? Go if you want to."

"Let's go to Tokyo and look for opportunities to earn gold."

“It’s difficult. The wealth in the empire is mainly controlled by the nobles and the imperial family. It’s difficult for ordinary people to have this opportunity.

Don’t underestimate the Yamaguchi-gumi. It’s just a facade. We are nothing in front of those nobles.”

A hint of helplessness flashed in Yamaguchi Yujin's eyes, containing a hint of grief and indignation at the unfairness of fate.

"Yamaguchi-kun, you really should take the time to read some Chinese books. The Chinese nation has existed for thousands of years and there is a lot we can learn from them."

Yamaguchi Yujin showed a surprised expression, his eyes looking at Miyamoto Taro/Ye Xiaoyang.

"Miyamoto-kun, do you really think so?"

"Of course, Chinese books record that 2,000 years ago there was a man named Chen Sheng who said something.

What kind of prince will Xiangning?

What this sentence means is that no one is born to be a king, a prince, a general or a minister, and ordinary people can also become kings, princes, generals or ministers.

As long as you work hard enough and have enough courage."

Yamaguchi Yujin was shocked by the words "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born into a certain family?"

I didn't respond for a long time.

Yamaguchi Yujin slowly came to his senses. He thought about the era of the Tokugawa shogunate, when the emperor was just a puppet.

Now is a time of war, and the domestic nobles will definitely be reshuffled. Why can't the Yamaguchi family become a noble?

He thought the young man in front of him was really great, but it was a pity that his daughter was older than him.

And his daughter is not pretty enough.

Otherwise, he would give his daughter to Miyamoto Taro as his wife, or even as a concubine, he would agree.

"Miyamoto-kun, you have a point. I can see from your eyes that you disapprove of the nobles in the empire."

"Yamaguchi-kun! In my heart, you are my true friend and also my elder.

I don't want to tell lies in front of you. One day, the Miyamoto family will be the nobles of the Japanese Empire.

I also hope that the Yamaguchi family will become a noble family of the empire."

Ye Xiaoyang’s words made Yamaguchi Yuren’s blood boil. Who doesn’t want their family to become a noble family?

"Miyamoto-kun, how can we become nobles?"

Yamaguchi Yujin asked impatiently.

"Yamaguchi-kun, think about what the characteristics of the nobility are. They are nothing more than a group of rich and powerful people.

Money, you and I have no shortage of it, what we lack is power."

"Yes! Our Yamaguchi family has no representatives in the officialdom, so we can only rely on certain officials.

We have to give a lot of money to government officials every year."

"Yamaguchi-kun, these aren't the real issues. The real issue is that government officials can use state power to suppress us."

"Miyamoto-kun is right, but our family has no way to deal with it."

"Yamaguchi-kun, there's a saying in China that wealth and honor are found in danger."

"Wealth and honor are sought through danger?"

"Yes, it means that if you want to be rich and noble, you must take risks.

Yamaguchi-kun, do you dare to take the risk?

"Miyamoto-kun, I'm a bit of a fool. Just tell me directly. The Yamaguchi family has always had the courage to take risks."

"We will work together to establish a fund, and you will set up an organization within the empire. This organization will be divided into three groups.

The first group is responsible for intelligence, the second group is responsible for assassinations, and the third group is dedicated to funding the education of smart children from poor families."

"Miyamoto-kun! Why should we support smart children from poor families to go to school?"

"It's simple. The imperial government needs smart people. These children we sponsor will become government officials in the future."

"Okay, then tell me about the other two groups."

"The intelligence team is used to collect dirt on government officials, such as their corruption and bribery, and their affairs with married women, and to film their scandals with cameras.

In the future we can use these leverages to threaten them into doing things for us.

Of course, if they are obedient, we will give them a full share of the money they deserve after doing the job for us.

This tells the other party that peace is mutually beneficial, and that betraying us and destroying ourselves will naturally not work.

At that time, our assassination team will take action to kill those who refuse to obey. "

Yamaguchi Yujin was once again shocked by the young man in front of him.

“Miyamoto-kun, you are a big shot, wait for me to contact the president of our Yamaguchi family.

I hope you can meet our president."

"It's all up to Yamaguchi-kun to arrange it. I remind Yamaguchi-kun that confidentiality is the top priority when doing something important."

"Don't worry, Miyamoto-kun. I know the seriousness of the matter. It's only from your mouth and only in my ears. No one else will know."

"As long as the assassin team is strong enough, we will kill anyone who stands in our way. Without ruthlessness, there is no hero."

Taro Miyamoto's words made Yamaguchi Yujin's blood boil.

"Miyamoto-kun, I completely agree with what you said."

"Yamaguchi-kun, if the two of us attack, how many people do you think can stop us?"

"Miyamoto-kun, if you have any ideas, just tell me."

“Yamaguchi-kun, I heard in Hujiang that many people from the Empire are digging for gold in Manchuria.

I want to go to Manchuria with you and find an opportunity to seize some gold mines there.

As long as the Yamaguchi family can safely transport the stolen gold to Hujiang, I can transport the gold to the United States.

If you don’t want gold, you can sell me your share of it and I’ll give you dollars or yen.”

During this period, Ye Xiaoyang did not go to find Noriko Aoi. He thought it would be better to go to the Northeast to grab gold and cooperate with the Yamaguchi-gumi.

Noriko Aoi's identity is too sensitive, and everyone around her is a smart person.

Yamaguchi Yujin was once again shocked by the handsome man in front of him and felt dizzy. He thought the other party was very brave.

In just a moment, he realized that Yoshitaro Miyamoto was testing his courage.

You can’t accomplish big things without courage.

With their skills, it would not be difficult to raid a gold mine at night. The biggest problem would be transporting the gold away.

Yamaguchi Yujin's mind was spinning rapidly.

Ye Xiaoyang didn't say anything else. He knew that Yamaguchi Yujin needed to digest what he had just said.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

Yamaguchi Yujin raised his head and looked directly into Ye Xiaoyang's eyes, and Ye Xiaoyang naturally would not look away.

He also looked into Yamaguchi Yujin's eyes, and the two of them stared at each other for three or four minutes.

In the end, it was Yamaguchi Yujin who averted his eyes first.

“Hahaha, Miyamoto-kun, let’s go to Manchuria and grab a few tons of gold first.

I used to hear that people from the empire were developing gold mines in Manchukuo. Anyway, their gold mines were also robbed from the Chinese.

Now that we have the power, we can naturally rob them of their gold. This is a world where the strong prey on the weak."

Ye Xiaoyang gave Yamaguchi Yuren a thumbs up.
