Chapter Seventy-Three: The Commander
Who is behind these people, who can force such a master to dare to commit suicide once the mission fails? . This is the first time Tan Sitong has encountered such www.biquge.info a strange and cruel thing. These people are strong in martial arts, and their secret weapons are weird, and they will commit suicide immediately if they fail, so as not to expose their identities, they are obviously not children of ordinary martial arts families, nor are they looking for revenge for themselves. I haven't heard of this rumor on the rivers and lakes, who is this helping? Tan Sitong thought about the origin of these assassins, and picked up a hidden weapon on the ground to study it carefully.
If you look closely at this sphere, it is a skeleton-like thing, with a hideous shape, and the upper and lower semicircles bite together. In the middle is a row of extremely sharp blades that can decapitate a human when they whirl. The mechanism is cracked and has a sharp tooth-like tip above and below, and when the chain is pulled, the machine closes, and the sharp teeth can bite off the neck, and the ball is empty, but there is a small mechanism, and it is estimated that the poison needle is hidden there. This is an extremely vicious, evil secret weapon that specializes in taking people's heads. But why have you never heard of it?
"This is a drop of blood, which began in Yongzheng. In order to eliminate dissidents and protect his secrets that could not be made public, the Qing emperor set up a private secret spy organization. They were responsible for specifically eliminating and assassinating suspicious figures in the eyes of the emperor who would undermine their own imperial power. Most of these people are trumped-up charges and cannot be tried publicly, but they are only suspected by the emperor, but the emperor is also afraid of being accused by thousands of people, saying that he kills innocents indiscriminately, so these spies can only kill people and destroy corpses. This secret weapon is specially designed to take people's heads, so that the dead can die cleanly. When a person becomes a headless lord and his identity is unrecognizable, all secrets disappear, and this is the terrible thing about the secret weapon. It is said that this thing is particularly ingeniously designed, and it has never missed a murder for hundreds of years. None of the people who were attacked were spared, so naturally there were no secrets about it in the rivers and lakes. I don't want you to be able to escape this catastrophe today. ”
I was deceived behind me and I didn't know how far this person's martial arts had become! Tan Sitong was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly looked back, but it was the fortune teller who had not been seen for a long time. This man stood three steps away with white eyebrows and long beard, holding a cane, and his eyes were unfathomable, looking at him fixedly.
"Are you Chen Jinnan?" Tan Sitong asked in a deep voice. If you can't guess the origin of this person, Tan Sitong will scold herself for being stupid. For some reason, Tan Sitong doesn't have much affection for this legendary figure who is wiser than Kong Ming and brave Guan Gong. Although this person obviously has a life-saving grace for himself. If the memory is good, it was he who saved himself at the age of five. In the capital, it was he who helped him become the leader of the martial arts alliance. It's not that this person loves himself, everything he does is just for his ideal layout, and in this game, everyone is his pawn.
But what is needed to stabilize the country is the way to reason, how can it be calculated and conspired?
"It's me, you should have guessed it a long time ago."
"Since when have you begun to calculate me?"
"It started when you passed through Jingzhou that year. Do you remember, you stopped in Jingzhou that day and were about to go to Lanzhou, but on the way someone told you that there were senior monks preaching in Shennongjia. That's what I want someone to lead you to Shennongjia. ”
"It didn't start in Jingzhou, you saved me when I was five years old, and then arranged for Wang Wu to teach me kung fu, and then you were planning to calculate me."
"It's not about calculating you, it's about cultivating you, of course, whether you succeed or not depends on your own talent for understanding, and no one can help you. Guiding you to the bottom of the sea is a test of your ability, character, wisdom, and courage. Very well, you're doing better than I thought you would. ”
"Could it be that Yan Sen is also a part of your design? Zhang Zongyu's death was also arranged by you in advance? ”
"I have so much God, why should I come to you? But Yan Sen and Zhang Zongyu have been incompatible, and it is difficult for the two forces to cooperate, firstly, the imperial court has been secretly pursuing Zhang Zongyu, and it has been difficult for him to recover. I have dried up the lamp, and if I don't look for a successor for Hongmen, I will become a sinner for the ages, and this is the fourth. So it's time to look at you. But I didn't expect Yan Sen to come to slaughter Hongmen when he heard the news from the bottom of the sea, and I didn't expect Zhang Zongyu to be ambushed by the imperial court. I originally wanted Zhang Zongyu to take you through a few years of training, but there was a spy around him, which led to all kinds of things later, and it was uncontrollable. I was going to Taiwan that day to deal with the Hongmen Conference, and I was worried that something might happen to you, and when I heard the news, I hurried back to the Central Plains, followed you from Jiangnan to Guanwai, and then returned to the capital. In fact, it has been secretly protecting you. Fortunately, you are talented and smart, and you don't need me to do anything, but you have done a lot of great things alone. It's just that the Hongmen Conference, which was originally prepared, was not successful because no one presided over it. And Prince Gong just held a martial arts conference, so I made you the leader of the alliance wholeheartedly. This is a more appealing position than the helmsman of Hongmen. It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. ”
"But I'm not from Hongmen, I have a different concept from you, and I won't be your pawn. I'm afraid that you have exhausted all your skills, and it may not be as you want. ”
"Hehe, it doesn't matter if it's Hongmen's identity or not. You rescued the Boxers, the alliance triad, rectified the Elders' Association, and borrowed troops to aid Tibet, which one has nothing to do with Hongmen? And they all did it to my heart's content. This military advisor, you are much stronger than me. ”
I will not oppose the Qing for the sake of opposing the Qing Dynasty, now that the country is in danger, provoking war again will only cheapen those foreigners who are eyeing it. ”
"I killed two emperors, but it didn't make the situation any better, which proves that what I have planned in my life may really be wrong. I know what you're doing now is the opposite of mine, and you're trying to ally with the Emperor. Then it's okay for you to try this road, but I'm not optimistic about it if you seek skin with the tiger. But I'm not going to stop you from trying. I'm also going to find someone to continue working on my ideas, and we'll see who can succeed. ”
"But you must know that your road is extremely dangerous, so whether the emperor can succeed or not, this matter is so secret, as soon as it emerges, someone will come to get rid of you. It can be seen that the future will be difficult. The people who came to kill you just now are trying to nip your ideas in the bud. She has a vicious wrist and a careful mind, I just despise this opponent, and she will also become your confidant to achieve your ideals in the future, you have to plan early. Speaking of which, you should have guessed who this person is. ”
"can mobilize the imperial court secret service, except for the emperor, it is naturally the old queen mother. It is indeed incomprehensible that she is so suspicious of the saints of today. It also surprises me that you don't object to my alliance with the imperial court. Tan Sitong's hostility decreased slightly. I have complicated feelings for this Chen Jinnan, but I actually admire his methods and strategies very much, and I think far. I also thank him for his cultivation. I just feel that he uses violence to fight violence, and he disagrees with the simple plan of rebellion purely for the sake of resistance. National events are related to the lives of the people in the world, and the so-called success will be a success. If there is no plan from a high position, how can you use the sword and soldiers? No matter how noble the reason is, cherishing human life is the most important way to follow.
"You're still young, and I'm not as stubborn as you think. The purpose of Hongmen is to save the people from fire and water, no matter what the method, as long as the people are happy, how can I oppose it! But in the history of 2,000 years, the imperial court has changed, and it is all a private property that has changed its name to continue, who is willing to willingly hand over the power to share it with others! This power can occupy the property interests of the whole world for his own enjoyment, if you don't violently seize it, how can he be willing to give it up? I'm afraid that the idea that you want to settle it peacefully is just wishful thinking. The queen mother killed you, not because she was jealous of the emperor, but because she was worried that your thoughts would really affect the emperor and make him love the status and privileges of the Xinjueluo family. Is it possible that you are an enemy of the general privileged class and still want them to be docile and obedient? ”
"I'm just some immature ideas, and I haven't made a big deal about them, how do they know what I'm going to do?"
"Kang Youwei's book of 10,000 words has spread all over Beijing, and everyone knows it. He took you as a confidant, propagated the power of the hypocrisy of the monarchy, and established the constitution. The political concept of returning power to the people. Kang Youwei was dressed in white, Cixi was the day when he barked at the rabid dog, but you rejected Japan in the south, fought Tsarist Russia in the north, and set Tibet in the west, and you were already a famous young talent in the world. I'm afraid you don't know your influence yet. You are also the son of the governor, and you have many friendships with the officials of the dynasty, and even the emperor is close to you. Your father's position was personally promoted by the emperor, and his love for you is well known. is still the leader of the martial arts alliance, and now everyone in the rivers and lakes worships you. If you raise your arms and exhale, the world will naturally follow. Do you think the Queen Mother can not take precautions? ”
This woman openly supported the emperor's promotion of her father, but secretly came to assassinate herself, so that she could please the emperor, but secretly controlled and prevented him from developing her own power. Sure enough, she is a sinister, vicious and thoughtful woman. In the future, I really need to be more careful. Tan Sitong thought to himself.
"Your martial arts have made rapid progress, but it is unexpected, today I saw you kill the enemy, and you can retract and release freely, Hongmen Mental Law has obviously been practiced to the sixth-level realm. I'm glad you did. Now that you fight against Ban Huan again, you can already win him with hard boards. But at this point, it is even more difficult to move forward, just like a house is built to a high place, and it is dangerous and difficult to go further. So don't force yourself in the future, just go with the flow, so as not to go crazy. ”
"I practice martial arts just to strengthen my body, and I don't have any obsessive thoughts, which is why I can eliminate distractions and make rapid progress. Sir, you can rest assured, I will not forcibly cultivate. Tan Sitong thanked Chen Jinnan for his guidance and answered sincerely.
"Well, I heard the news that Ouchi was going to send someone to assassinate you, and I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to deal with it, so I rushed here to help. Seeing that you are so good, I don't need to worry about it anymore. It's just that open arrows are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, so you have to be more careful in the future. At the end of the year, our Hongmen held a Hongmen conference in Fenglingdu to elect a new chief helmsman and military division. Regardless of whether you enter Hongmen or not, you and I are actually already in the same lineage, and it is appropriate for teachers and apprentices, and Hongmen will help you a lot in the future, so I hope you will participate. Chen Jinnan sincerely invited.
"Lead you to Shennong to set up, is to prepare to train you to be this military advisor, the experience of the past few years has also proved that you are more than competent, Hongmen spent so much effort to create you, originally this matter could not be shirked, but I see that you want to form an alliance with the emperor, once you fail, this may drag Hongmen into a place of no return, so I think it may be inappropriate for you to be a military advisor again." But if you want, you are naturally the best candidate for this year's military advisor, your wisdom and ability have far surpassed mine, and everyone will support you. If you don't want to, I'll choose another talent, after all, you and I think differently. You can try your method, but I still believe that only violence can change the system. Let's all try to see who is more correct. But I'm still sincerely glad that you did better and more thoughtful than I did back then. I'm going to Shaanxi now to prepare for the opening of the altar, how sinister the rivers and lakes are, and you cherish a lot. Chen Jinnan bowed his hand and said goodbye with the gift of his peers.
