Chapter Twenty-Six: The Zhou Mansion Conspiracy

Lieutenant Chen arranged Xu Chunsheng in a "Qingfeng Inn", handed him some silver taels, and told him that someone would come to pick him up in two days.

After dealing with all this, it was almost night. Chen Zhong glanced apologetically at Zhang Yaru beside him, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I wanted to have a good day with you, but when I encountered this incident, then I'll treat you to a meal now." ”

Zhang Yaru looked at Chen Zhong, who was full of apologies, and said, "It's okay, I really like you to do this, you have the momentum of a big brother!" If you don't have time today, can you invite me again in the future! I'm here for you! Giggles! After speaking, Zhang Yaru laughed.

"Later? I'm afraid I don't have a chance. Chen Zhong said apologetically.

"Why? Didn't you say that as long as you are in Hainan, you will definitely be able to find you? ”

"No, I mean, I'm going to be very busy in the future, it's inconvenient!" Chen Zhong said helplessly.

"Oh, I see, are you a naval officer, I've been listening to you and that drunk all afternoon talking about the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, what the Hainan Fleet is. If you're busy, it's okay, we can make an appointment to meet! Zhang Yaru was happy again, tilting her head and saying.

Chen Zhong looked at the simple and lovely Zhang Yaru, and didn't know how to speak, the words of refusal were really powerless to speak. Just said: "Don't talk about this, I promised to invite you to dinner, you can choose what to eat today, as long as the tavern has it, you can order it, don't save me money!" ”

Zhang Yaru and Chen Zhong stayed in the tavern for a long time, she was very excited, and it seemed that she was still unsatisfied.

Out of the tavern, it was getting late, and the evening breeze blew Zhang Yaru's long flowing hair, and also touched the heart of a young girl Huaichun, she seemed to have found her beloved prince.

She secretly made up her mind to go back and have a good talk with her father, she would never agree to this arranged family affair! If, at her father's insistence, she will run away from home!

Not far from the tavern, Chen Zhong saw Lan Hu and Shen Juncai hurriedly walking towards this side, and after they saw Chen Zhong, they were about to speak: "Xiao Wang......"

Chen Zhong motioned for them not to speak, and then said, "You wait for me here, I'll send Miss Zhang home, and I'll be back in a while." ”

When Zhang Yaru saw that Chen Zhong met a friend, she said: "Chen Hainan, don't send me, I'll go back by myself, remember, I'll look for you." Giggles! He laughed again.

Chen Zhong looked at Zhang Yaru's graceful back, as well as the expectation of his happy future, sighed, and shook his head.

Chen Zhong walked quickly to Lan Hu and Shen Juncai's side, and said, "Go inside and talk." ”

"Little prince, Zhou Zhiguang let us go over tonight and discuss important matters." Lan Hu and Shen Juncai whispered.

This Blue Tiger turned out to be the younger brother of Zhou Zhiguang's fourth concubine Lan Mei, Lan Mei's parents died in the Sino-French War in their early years, and later, Lan Mei took Lan Hu to Hainan to make a living by singing.

By chance, he met Zhou Zhiguang, who saw that Lanmei was quite beautiful, so he accepted him as a concubine.

Not long after Lan Mei moved into the Zhou Mansion, she died of a serious illness. After the death of his sister, Lan Hu was given a cold reception in the Zhou Mansion, so he returned to his hometown in Guangxi in a fit of anger.

A few days ago, Zhou Zhiguang sent someone to find the Blue Tiger back, the purpose was to ask the Blue Tiger to help him compete with the King of Hainan for the military power of Hainan in Hainan.

The experience of the battle from Hainan to Yulin made the Blue Tiger feel resentful of Zhou Zhiguang, and he was extremely disapproving of Zhou Zhiguang's attempt to mutiny.

Because, he saw the mind and bearing of the little prince, the little prince is determined to serve the interests of the Chinese nation, and Zhou Zhigang is just for his own selfish desires.

Shen Juncai is even more so, although he is Zhou Zhiguang's old subordinate, but Zhou Zhiguang can sacrifice anyone for his own political interests. This time, the exchange of grain and grass almost killed him, and it put the entire Yulin battle situation in a desperate situation.

Whoever it is, it's a capital offense. But the little prince opened the net, turned the tide, and finally survived. He began to admire this young prince from the bottom of his heart.

However, this time, Zhou Zhiguang deceived Shen Juncai again and said that his family had arranged it, but as everyone knows, according to Chen Zhong's order, Blade had secretly sent Shen Juncai's family to an extremely safe place.

Therefore, although Lan Hu and Shen Juncai were secretly sent back by Zhou Zhiguang to help him deal with the palace, they didn't know that these two people had long been dissatisfied with him.

Lan Hu said: "Little prince, I heard that Zhou Zhiguang has been in frequent contact with a Japanese named Matsui recently. ”

"You said that Matsui, is he short and fat?" Chen Zhong remembered what the translator said yesterday about Matsui-kun or something.

"Yes, I saw it this morning, and Zhou Zhiguang asked me to send them some gold bars. Saying that I was doing some business with them, I felt that it was not so simple. ”

"Blue Tiger, Juncai, you also have to be more careful, after all, Zhou Zhiguang has a merit to our Hainan, as long as he does not do anything to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, everything can be forgiven. Okay, it's not early, you two should go to the Zhou Mansion as soon as possible. ”

"Okay. Little prince, I heard that you are getting married tomorrow, I am afraid we will not be able to go, because Zhou Zhiguang asked us not to show up in public. Then congratulations to the little prince on his new marriage! Lan Hu and Shen Juncai said with a smile.

"It's okay, I'll have your favorite wine to drink in the future. Okay, that's it, I'm going to go back and get ready. The three of them said goodbye.

Lan Hu and Shen Juncai quickly came to the Zhou Mansion and walked into the inner courtyard. After the guards reported, Lan Hu and Shen Juncai waited for about half an hour before Zhou Zhiguang came out of it, followed by the Japanese Matsui.

After Zhou Zhiguang sent Matsui away, he let the Blue Tiger and them in, and then said: "From today onwards, don't go anywhere, stay here well, and don't leave the Zhou Mansion until I finish dealing with things tomorrow!" ”

"General Zhou, why is that?" Shen Juncai asked.

Zhou Zhiguang pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay to tell you now. Tomorrow is the big wedding day of the little prince, this Chen Chuwang wants to be beautiful, and wants to use his son to marry Zhang Tong's daughter and connect their political interests together, this old fox, I won't let you succeed, I will assassinate the little prince tomorrow morning, on the way back to welcome his relatives! At that point, I won't have to worry about it anymore! Hahaha! ”

Lan Hu and Shen Juncai gasped when they heard the news, it turned out that Zhou Zhiguang was going to assassinate the little prince when he got married tomorrow!

Blue Tiger asked tentatively, "Then who will carry out this mission?" The people in our General's Mansion, they all know each other, so they will leave a handle. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I have negotiated with Matsui, he invited ninjas from Japan and has been mixed into the little prince's welcome guard in advance, and these ninjas will help complete this assassination mission." The corners of Zhou Zhiguang's mouth raised a smug sneer.
