CHAPTER XIV
Chapter 14
Yang Du had a smile on his face, and he talked to Zeng Zhaoji about some interesting things on weekdays without saying a word. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he didn't know much about his junior brother, but he had heard about it from his teacher Wang Minyun and knew that he was a person who didn't talk much. But this time, although this junior brother has cut his braids, he is clearly organized in his conversation, and he is clearly a person with a lot of hills and valleys in his chest. Yang Du nodded secretly, no wonder the master would accept this person as a disciple, and it was really outstanding.
Zeng Zhaoji took Yang Du for a day in Handan City, visited some scenic spots (although there was basically nothing), and in the evening, he arranged for Yang Du to rest in his home.
Zeng Zhaojina is one of the thirteen Taibao of the Black Dragon Society, controlling many production departments, and it is rare to have a few days off in a year. This time, after Yang Du came as an attempt of the Beiyang Army, he was specially granted a four-day vacation, and he took advantage of this rare opportunity to rest at home. After dinner, Zeng Zhaoji had not been in the study for a while, and someone knocked on the door outside the house, "Senior brother, is it convenient now?" ”
He hurriedly got up and opened the door, and saw Yang Du changing into a green shirt and standing at the door with a smile.
"Senior brother, who are you?"
"Let's go in and talk," Yang Du took Zeng Zhaoji's hand and entered the room without saying anything. After entering the room, Yang Du saw the drawings on the desk at a glance, which were full of many things that he couldn't understand at all, and a lot of data were densely marked. He stretched out his hand and picked up the drawing, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect my junior brother to work so hard at home." ”
When Yang Du picked up the drawings, Zeng Zhaoji couldn't help but stretch out his hand and wanted to stop it, but he still suppressed his unhappiness, and just said lightly: "I don't have any other skills, so I have some experience in this mechanical way, and I can't compare to my senior brother's talent." ”
Yang Du actually agrees with this, in his opinion, any new learning is a small way, and the real big man should take the world as the stage, rejuvenate the country with one word, and destroy the gang with one word. But in front of Zeng Zhaoji, he naturally wouldn't say this. I saw him put down the drawings in his hand, and then said with a smile: "Senior brother, this is too modest, I heard that you are deeply appreciated in the Black Dragon Society, and you are in a high position, so you must be able to show your life's ambitions." ”
"Senior brother, you won't come to talk to me about this so late, will you?" Zeng Zhaoji was not in a hurry at all, and said slowly: "But what do you want to say, why don't you say it during the day?" ”
"There are many people during the day, but it is still clean at night." Yang Du sat down and said, "Senior brother, what do I mean by coming, probably you have some numbers in your heart." ”
"I don't know what you mean by coming," Zeng Zhaoji said with a straight face: "I only know that you are a messenger sent by Yuan Shikai, and I don't know about the rest." ”
"Senior brother, the so-called good birds choose trees to perch," Yang Du said: "But I'm not here to persuade you to take refuge in Yuan Gongbao." ”
Didn't you come to lobby? Zeng Zhaoji's face did not change, anyway, he was both happy and shocked. Even though it looks enthusiastic at times, it still has a dead face.
"Haha," Yang Du laughed twice and said, "Senior brother, I don't know what you learned from the teacher, but what I learned from the teacher is the skill of slaying dragons." What I'm good at is relying on my tongue to accomplish my own pursuit. ”
"Your own pursuits?" Zeng Zhaoji said: "So, what is the pursuit of the senior brother? What does this have to do with what you're talking about? ”
"Senior brother, I don't know what you think. But as far as I'm concerned, I know I don't have the strength and ability to accomplish great things. All I can do is be a strategist or something like that. So ............."
Zeng Zhaoji didn't answer, he originally showed enthusiasm because everyone was the same brother. But now that we've said it and we're in different camps, there's no need to maintain that kind of enthusiasm. Anyway, he was not good at dealing with people in the first place, and now he is just returning to his true colors.
"So, I need to pick the most powerful monarch." Seeing that Zeng Zhaoji didn't answer, Yang Du said the next words himself. "And looking at the whole country, now there is only Yuan Gongbao who has both strength and strength."
"Maybe." Zeng Zhaoji's words were ambiguous, so people couldn't hear what he meant.
"But this is just my original opinion," Yang Du's words suddenly changed, and said, "I originally thought that there were no heroes in this world except for Yuan Gongbao. But this battle in Beijing made me know that there is still a force like the Black Dragon Society that dares to fight head-on with foreigners. Since then, I have been very interested in the Black Dragon Society, and I have collected a lot of information about the Black Dragon Society. ”
"Oh," Zeng Zhaoji nodded, "Senior brother has a heart." ”
"So, junior brother, although you have a high position in the Black Dragon Society, you are not powerful. And I'm similar to Master Yuan Gongbao, it looks like a beautiful scenery, but it's all rootless trees, so it can't be true. ”
"That's exactly what happened." Zeng Zhaoji said: "But what does this have to do with me? ”
"Nature is related. Senior brother, do you think that if the two of us exchange news, it will be of some help to the status of both of us. Yang Du smiled and said what seemed to be the real intention, in his mind, although he didn't tell it, but to lure it, this kind of thing should not be rejected.
It's just that things are out of his mind. Zeng Zhaoji listened to his words expressionlessly, and was silent for a while before he said, "Senior brother, what you said is very reasonable. But do you know what I was up to? ”
"Before? Didn't the junior brother make bronze ware in Handan City before? ”
"Exactly, I used to make a living by making bronze objects for people in Handan City." Zeng Zhaoji said slowly: "Later, the Black Dragon Society rose, so I threw myself over. Brother, do you know why? ”
"I think the Black Dragon Society must be very generous? Or do you want to win over the local wealthy families in Handan? ”
"I'm not a wealthy family," Zeng Zhaoji shook his head, "But what you said is very right, Senior Brother, the Black Dragon Society is indeed very generous, giving me a lot of power and a high status." Now, in the entire territory of the Black Dragon Society, there are no more than five people who can give orders directly to me. ”
"No more than five?" Yang Du raised his eyebrows, "This is also the ability of the junior brother." ”
"Otherwise, before and after, I'm still me, and I'm still a little bit more capable, and if there's any difference, it's just daring."
