Chapter 425: The Situation Is Becoming Clearer

In fact, in addition to this Mr. Ai, there is another person who knows the value of these things.

This person is Liu Cheng.

From the seals and inscriptions on those calligraphy and paintings, Liu Cheng could see at a glance that it was something flowing from the Manchu Imperial Palace.

He wasn't wrong about that.

And Mr. Ai's surname is only a homonym of the first word of his original surname.

Ai == Love.

The poor worm who was bent on regaining the throne and resurrecting the Manchus, although he put all his hopes on the Japanese, still left himself a way out.

He went to Xinjing with more than a dozen large boxes of treasures, but asked people to select the most valuable large boxes from those treasures and hide them in two.

In case he has ulterior motives under the guise of helping him return to the country, then he has the opportunity to flee again and leave China with these treasures to find other help.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although there is some sadness in this sentence, but it is true.

The Manchu royal family has ruled China for nearly 300 years, and countless treasures have been collected in the Forbidden City.

However, decades ago, the Eight-Nation Coalition actually swallowed half a cow.

Now, the pitiful and hateful down-and-out emperor only has such a small amount of possessions left, so even if he wants to give half of Dai Yunong after taking it back, he will admit it.

The Mr. Ai who met and negotiated with Dai Yunong is one of the few people he can trust now, and the most important thing is that he has the same surname.

Therefore, the person who was trapped as a puppet in Xinjing went to great lengths to send this "Mr. Ai" out of Xinjing and asked him to handle the matter with full authority.

At the same time, in a room on the second floor, Liu Cheng was also discussing plans with Song Wen.

Two minutes ago, when Qiwan had just returned, he had quietly sneaked into the room on the second floor directly below the room where Dai Yunong was, and leaned on the ceiling to eavesdrop.

The guest rooms of the Fulai Inn are wooden buildings, and the sound insulation is very poor, and you can hear the voices upstairs with a little means.

However, Dai Yunong and Mr. Ai spoke loudly and quietly, and only a small part of the conversation was heard by 70,000.

Except for "Mr. Ai", "Boss Dai" and "those things", I didn't hear any valuable information.

But for Liu Cheng, this is enough.

His original plan was to go into the city and find the person who sent the signal the night before, so that it would be possible to solve the doubts in his mind and find out the reason for the leak of the whereabouts of the independent battalion.

When he learned that there was a "Mr. Ai" who came to Dai Yunong, a clear relationship diagram gradually appeared in Liu Cheng's mind:

First of all, Tian Ruyu, when Boss Dai, who had not yet officially taken office at that time, instructed to send people to Ningcheng, he really just wanted to fight the idea of the gold in Cai Zhong's hands, so there were only a few of them.

However, if they succeed, someone will replace them when the Chamber of Secrets is opened.

At the same time, the people who gave them the order did not forget about Zuo Ming, so they also gave them an additional task, which was to create momentum for Liu Chenghe and independence, and wanted to use Zhang Haipeng's hand to get rid of Liu Chenghe and the independent battalion.

It's just that they didn't expect that Wang Wei also set his sights on Cai Zhong and wanted to get his hands on the gold.

If this Mr. Ai knew that the gold bars he had made with copper nuggets in order to "cover" those cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings would arouse the greed of so many people, he would definitely slap himself in the mouth.

Liu Cheng suddenly mixed in by mistake, instantly disrupting the plans of both parties.

Originally, Wang Wei's people and the security group controlled by Tian Ruyu were the first to fight, and the final winner must be between Wang Wei's people and Song Wen's people.

After the gold fell into Liu Cheng's hands and quickly transferred, the original balance was instantly broken.

Zhang Haipeng, an old fox, has been in Rehe for more than a year, and he has already heard of this Cai Zhong.

If the Japanese had taken the gold away, he would have to endure it; However, being taken away by such a mysterious team, he naturally had to intervene.

But before finding out the situation, Zhang Haipeng will definitely not act rashly.

A huge fortune in the current situation could be honey or arsenic.

In case the news leaks after getting his hands on it, it will become a hot potato, and it is likely to bring him disaster, so he ordered Zhao Yuzhi to just wait and see, and never act lightly.

Okamoto Kusaburo is much simpler, he simply wants to take advantage of the chaos to expand his territory a little, but the fault is that he shouldn't send Shunichi Aoi out.

But this is not something he can change, even if he doesn't do it, Shunichi Aoi will still appear in Ningcheng.

The thoughts of Zhang Haipeng and Kumasaburo Okamoto, Liu Cheng could see from the deployment of Qi Yuan's squadron and the third regiment.

That Mr. Ai hid these priceless treasures here, so naturally he should always pay attention to them.

Therefore, after learning that something had happened to Ningcheng, he found Dai Yunong in desperation, and the poor puppet personally stepped forward and got a squadron of Japanese soldiers to use as bait for Shunichi Aoi's plan.

As for Shunichi Aoi's claim to be doing something for Wang Wei, Liu Cheng was completely sure that he was lying.

Although it is speculative reasoning, Liu Cheng is more than seventy percent sure.

Dai Yunong appeared in Ningcheng, followed by only a dozen people, which shows that there must be his people somewhere outside the city, and the number must not be small.

Of course, the premise is that the historical data about Dai Yunong's character recorded by later generations is not apocryphal.

However, according to Liu Cheng's observation, Dai Yunong is sinister and cunning in both his face and his expressions, which is basically in line with historical records.

While Liu Cheng was pondering this, Song Wen kept changing his dressing.

Looking at the continuous subtle changes on Liu Cheng's face, Song Wen faintly felt that he was going to take action.

After changing the medicine, Song Wen stretched out his hand and pushed Liu Cheng, and said helplessly:

"Alright, don't think about it yet, look at your own wounds! How much hurt you have not counted? What baths do you have to go in? ”

Liu Cheng looked down at the scabs on his body that had already fallen off most of the wounds, and said with an indifferent expression:

"With the medicine you gave, it's almost better, what are you afraid of?"

Song Wen glared at him and said:

"You know the! My medicine only heals quickly on the surface, mainly to prevent wound infection; But the meat inside hasn't grown yet, and now it's smoked by the heat, and even if it doesn't get infected, the healing speed will be twice as slow as before! ”

Liu Chengyi waved his hand:

"Alright, stop chattering, I'll tell you about the plan of action first!"

Song Wen pulled a chair and sat down in front of Liu Cheng, looked at Liu Cheng with a serious face and said:

"I knew you were calculating people just now as soon as I saw the expression on your face, let's say, who are you going to pit this time?"
