Chapter 11—I Am Not Measured (11)

Although he is the head of the intelligence department, Chen Cheng is still dissatisfied with the efficiency of intelligence collection and analysis. He picked up a piece of information that had been prioritized first, and that was the funny thing the girl had told him earlier.

He flipped it open and looked at it, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Huh," this news is really interesting. Chen Cheng tapped his fingers on the table, Gu Lu? It seems like a huge variable.

After thinking about it, he picked up the pen and instructed in the back: Strengthen attention and list this person's information as a first-class secret.

Gu Lu, who had just appeared in Liang's shopkeeper's teahouse again, had no telepathy, so he didn't sneeze to show his sympathy with another man. As soon as he entered the teahouse, he said to Liang Changfa: "Shopkeeper, bring me a bowl of rotten meat noodles." ”

"Yo, you're here again, guest officer. You sit down first, and I'll let you do it first! ”

"Does the boss remember me?"

"How can I forget you?" Liang Changfa said with a smile on his face: "A character like you, if you sit like this in our small shop, it will be full of flowers." ”

"Haha, the shopkeeper is really good at talking." Gu Lu laughed, and then asked, "Is there any news outside the city in the past few days?" ”

"News from outside the city?" Liang Changfa was stunned for a moment, peeked at Gu Lu a few times, and then said, "Hey, what else can I have any news." The foreign devils are now confronting the Black Dragon Society at the south gate. ”

"Confrontation? They didn't fight? ”

"Why didn't you fight? They could be heard firing guns and artillery every day, although there was no big fight, but there were wounded soldiers pulling over every day on the Xicheng side. ”

"Is there a wounded barracks in the city?" Gu Lu asked curiously, "The wounded barracks"

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard bursts of gunfire. The shells hit the ground and exploded, causing a shock that even the people in the teahouse could feel. Gu Lu looked in the direction where the cannon sound came, but it was outside the East City.

"Shopkeeper, you just said that the Black Dragon Society and the foreigners are facing off at the South Gate? Why is this cannon coming from the east? ”

"It's right on the south gate," Shopkeeper Liang also wondered, "These days have been the south and west sides of the guns and cannons, why did you go to the east today?" Is it because the sun is rising in the east this day? ”

"Haha," Gu Lu was amused by Shopkeeper Liang, "Didn't the sun rise in the east that day?" Could it be that it can still rise from the west? ”

"Yes," Shopkeeper Liang laughed at himself, "Look at my mouth, I accidentally said something wrong." I don't know what's going on today, but there's no movement in the east. ”

"Well, shopkeeper, are there any soldiers and horses in this city besides the people and horses of the Black Dragon Society?"

"That's a lot, the Praetorian Guard, the Gong Guard, the Tiger God Camp are right, and Dong Fuxiang's Gan army is stationed in Dongcheng, isn't it Gan Jun who went out to fight with foreigners?"

"Gan Jun? That's probably it. Gu Lu said: "Although Dong Fuxiang is not very strict in managing the army, the soldiers of the Gan army are brave and brave, and it is very possible to go out of the city to fight with foreigners." ”

"Oh, is that so?" Shopkeeper Liang touched his head and said, "I really don't know this, but since you said so, it's probably it." Hey, look at me, I forgot to give you the one I was talking to you patronizingly. Wait a minute, I'll bring it to you. ”

After a while, the shopkeeper Liang came up. Gu Lu also stopped talking and ate quietly. This teahouse is a business that has been passed down for decades, and it has never played with flowers in terms of taste and portion, so it can be in business for a long time. The last time I came over, Gu Lu gave her bowl of noodles to Fugui, and she had never tasted the craftsmanship in this shop. This time, he ate it slowly, and compared to the pasta he had eaten before, it had a different flavor.

After eating the noodles, he was ready to rest and leave, and then he heard the sound of horses' hooves and wheels outside the door. Then, a slender young officer walked in with several guards. When Liang Changfa saw it, he hurriedly greeted him, nodded and said, "Masters, what are you going to eat?" ”

The young officer, dressed in a modern military uniform of tawny, looked extremely heroic. After hearing the question of the shopkeeper Liang, he said indifferently: "Find someone." ”

Yes, another uncle who is a soldier. Liang Changfa couldn't provoke such a person, so he obediently pushed it aside.

The young officer walked straight up to Gu Lu and asked, "Your Excellency is Mr. Gu Lu?" ”

Gu Lu was shocked, he didn't think he would have any acquaintances in this world. But there would be no danger for him to pay for himself, and he also wanted to know what would happen next, so he replied briskly: "Yes, I am Gu Lu, are you looking for me?" ”

The young officer stood upright, saluted, and said, "Sun Yunguan, commander of the Seventh Infantry Regiment of the Lower Black Dragon Society, on the order of the chief of staff, please ask Mr. Gu Lu to come over for a while. ”

"Chief of Staff?" Gu Lu didn't know when he met the chief of staff of the late Qing Dynasty, but he was bold and bold, so he said: "I don't know who this chief of staff is, what is the matter with me?" ”

"I don't know." Sun Yunguan said expressionlessly: "I'm just here to give orders." ”

"And if I say I don't want to go, will you arrest me and take me there?" Gu Lu said with interest: "Or will you beat me first?" ”

"Before coming, the chief of staff had an order, if Mr. Gu wants to go, I will take you there, if you don't want to go, you can also listen to it."

Oh, that's kind of interesting. Gu Lu was not hypocritical, and said, "Then I will meet this chief of staff in the past." By the way, is the post of chief of staff self-appointed or Qing or imperial court? ”

Sun Yunguan's eyes revealed a dangerous light, and a fierce murderous aura rose up, making Gu Lu feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave in an instant. He was raising the vigilance in his heart, and the murderous aura had disappeared without a trace.

Sun Yunguan still said expressionlessly: "I was just ordered to pick up Mr., and I have nothing to say about the rest." ”

Made, Gu Lu scolded in her heart, and said with a smile on her face: "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's get over it. ”

"Please." Sun Yunguan made a gesture of please. Gu Lu glanced at this cold-faced guy, shook his head, and walked out.
