A small blue cloth sedan chair carried by two people walked through the streets and alleys, and went straight to the Wenting-style Hanlindi.

Since Tan Sitong has been sending troops out of Beijing to control the situation. The Hunan soldiers that could be seen everywhere in the capital also burned a lot. The atmosphere on the street was much more relaxed than before, and it was vaguely the usual scene again. In addition to the small number of large businesses open, small wine shops and small teahouses are full of people. It's just that no matter the Manchu or Han Dynasty, everyone's faces don't have the usual kind of relaxed bearing of the children of the imperial city, whether it is their expression or their speech, there is a taste of panic in it.

In addition to these native people of Yanjing City, there are countless more homeless people on the street. Those who couldn't find relatives or friends to take refuge sat on both sides of the street, and as long as they could find rags, they put them all on their bodies. Light snow fell and melted when it fell to the ground. It added three points of coldness, these homeless people curled up together, the mother-in-law cried and the doll screamed, and the men buried their heads and sighed with a long and short voice.

Seeing someone coming out of the teahouse tavern, there were countless hands holding broken bowls and sticking out. But now the guys in the tavern and tea shop have lost their interest in chasing people, so they let them stay at the door. Most of the guests who drink tea and drink will occasionally ask for a bowl of Yangchun noodles or something, and ask the guy to pick the most pitiful one and send it over. Even the children of the banner people, who usually beggars pestered people, could go up with a slap, but at this time they only frowned and muttered: "...... Don't pester, we may be worse than you in the future......" and then left quickly.

The sky was gray, and everyone's faces were gray. Everywhere there is chaos, everywhere is dilapidated, everywhere is a post-apocalyptic scene.

Kang Youwei sat in the sedan chair, just looking at this gray imperial city through the warm window silently. The palanquin man shouted loudly, stretched out his begging hand like avoiding the jungle, and walked forward with a long white breath. The voices outside floated in one after another, straight into Kang Youwei's heart.

“………… Chaos! That's what the last days will look like! Some relatives fled from southern Hebei, and the corpses looked like grains! The big brothers say that whoever is Ermaozi is, if you are lucky, you will be bankrupt, and if you are unlucky, your head will move! ”

“………… If you want to say that the incense sect is really powerful, I heard that foreign guns will go astray when they touch them! No wonder the imperial court wanted to recruit incense as a soldier at the beginning, and the foreign devils should be Xu Yifan. Our flag people protect their families and lives, and this is the ...... It's hateful that the two emperors stopped the Xiangjiao from becoming a new army, and now it's making trouble, isn't it? As long as we go to the Second Emperor, we have so many children in Sijiu City that we will have a way to live! ”

“………… The dead are really miserable, look at so many ............ who have fled in."

"It's not a sin created by the second emperor! Now it's still in Yanjing City, it's just not moving............ I've heard rumors that it's going to contact ............ right now."

"Huangtian, it doesn't matter if it's the second emperor or the incense sect, let's settle down as soon as possible! I really can't stand this fearful talk, Xu Yifan called, let's pay ten more years of heavy taxes! ”

"Already............ There is no way to save it. Kang Youwei sat in the sedan chair and thought coldly.

But what does it matter? Now that they are on the same ship, the important thing is to quickly grasp the real power, just like the prestige of Tan Si and the second emperor. When the time comes, if you want to jump into a new ship, you will rely on it as well as rely on it. It is the capital to bargain with Xu Yifan............ But fucking Tan Sitong is just Lai in Yanjing City and doesn't leave! No matter how hard he is, he is struggling to support and maintain the basic order of Yanjing City with the strength of one person. Could it be that this guy is really in touch with Xu Yifan, just waiting for him to go north?

Thinking of this, Kang Youwei couldn't help but feel a little anxious. On the road to power, this Tan Sitong seems to be one step ahead of himself everywhere! Fuck, when Xu Yifan entered Beijing, why wasn't he in the friends dart game?

But if you look closely at the reaction of the South, it doesn't look like it. Xu Yifan said that he had only been electrified to the world before, and he wanted the governors to come to Jiangning to discuss how to deal with the current matter. Although it is clear that he has not put the remnants of Yanjing City in his eyes. But if you want to discuss in Jiangning, it doesn't look like you will go north quickly, echoing Tan Sitong's posture at the moment!

The north is rotten, which is the most in his interests Xu Yifan, isn't it?

The small sedan chair entered the alley in a blink of an eye, and suddenly stopped when Kang Youwei was thinking about things in a heavy mind. The sedan chair slammed on the ground, alarming Kang Youwei. He stomped on the bottom of the sedan chair: "What's the matter?" ”

The sedan chair and the sedan chair driver are hired in the industry, just to come and go inconspicuously. But there is no official title plate, and there is no green tweed barrier. There are so many officials in Yanjing City, and they have to let it if they are individuals. This power is a good thing everywhere!

Outside, the sedan chair man lifted the sedan curtain and said to Kang Youwei with an embarrassed face: "Master, look, the men who burn incense are blocked here, don't let us in or let us retreat............ We are in the industry, our shoulders are narrow, and we can't bear the responsibility, so you are still tired, come out and speak............ We don't want any money, as long as it's not troublesome............"

Kang Youwei snorted, got out of the sedan chair, and saw seven or eight idlers blocked in the alley, with densely breasted gowns, and an apricot yellow spike belt with a gossip flag tied around his waist. A few days ago, the belt was still tucked inside, and these belts were all outside. At the base of the alley wall is a crooked incense altar, where a group of refugee men and women are kowtowing. There are also people shouting next to them: "If you want to eat enough, if you want white noodles, you have to burn incense!" This Yanjing City may have to be turned over, if you don't believe in incense, where can you go? Be down-to-earth and follow our altar! ”

The leading man just looked at Kang Youwei, who had a cold face, holding his arms, and snorted in his nose: "Another [***] poor sour ............ Listen, let's ask God here, you broke the incense altar, what did you say? Admit that the sedan chair was dismantled and the fire was burned, and one person unloaded an arm. admit the penalty, twenty taels, only now do not owe! ”

Kang Youwei touched his pocket, there were only four or five taels, and a small string of Beijing money. There was nothing to say to these gangsters, so he simply turned over his waist bag and handed it to the big man with his own hands: "You are tired, just like this, I am really afraid, next time there must be a heart!" ”

The big man weighed it in his hand, laughed and patted Kang Youwei's face: "Where is the poor Beijing official?" This official has come to an end, right? Seeing that it is a country without a mother, how about being a master for your master? ”

Kang Youwei just laughed with him, and he didn't sit in the sedan chair anymore, and accompanied the two worried sedan chair drivers to nod and huff around the pheasant brother. I only walked towards the Wenting-style Hanlindi.

The palanquin man whispered behind him: "Master, is it really the world of the Xiangjiao?" ”

"There are so many deaths outside, and when they enter Beijing, will they wash the city?"

"Now to Shinka, is it too late?"

Kang Youwei just ignored it, and in a blink of an eye he walked to the door of Wen Ting-style Hanlindi, and saw that the gate was half-open and half-hidden, Wen Ting-style was looking at the door, and when he saw Kang Youwei's figure, he hurriedly greeted him: "South China Sea, there are incense altars at both ends of the alley, I'm worried that you won't be able to come, the sky is pitiful, it's finally here!" ”

Kang Youwei let Wen Tingshi develop the two sedan chair men, and entered side by side with Wen Tingshi, who was full of anxiety. Just past the threshold, Wen Tingshi asked: "How is the contact with the old shopkeeper Han?" ”

Kang Youwei said lightly: "It's not like that?" patted his chest to ensure his loyalty to the emperor............ What's the use of saying this, Tan Si is with you, we can't open the city and let them in! ”

Wen Tingshi also heeled: "Reincarnate this Hunan barbarian!" He doesn't know how long he won't last? The more it drags on, the wider the turmoil outside spreads, and more people will die, and this evil is all created by him! It's better to let the Xiangjiao come in early, and it will be within the scope of the emperor! ”

He hesitated for a moment and looked at Kang Youwei: "............ I heard that the Queen Mother was there, and she was also contacting the old Han shopkeeper............ When you see him today, did the old man show any tone? ”

Kang Youwei smiled: "That's an old fox, do you expect him to show his mouth?" Now he's a little more expensive than either of us............ Something's got to impress them! ”

Wen Tingshi made a heartache: "When is it, still fighting for power and profit!" Asking for others at both ends will only raise the appetite of the Xiangjiao higher and higher, and it will be even more difficult to restrain them when the time comes! These people really have no conscience! ………… Resurrection, what price do you think we can make them tempted? The official has also been sealed, and his future status may be out, so what else can he do? ”

Kang Youwei turned his head and looked at Wen Tingshi fixedly: "............ Daoxi, you still don't understand, our biggest price is Tan Fusheng? ”

"Resurrection?"

"If you can't resurrect, the incense sect can't enter the city! Our biggest bargaining chip is to help the Xiangjiao remove the roadblock of resurrection! ”

Wen Tingshi looked at Kang Youwei's cold gaze, and he was a little cowering and evaded: "............ How to get there? ”

“………… Compared with the Queen Mother, our biggest advantage is that I and Fusheng used to be the same party! I can find out his truth and truth, but the party doesn't know! Only I, Kang Nanhai, can pass on the most accurate information of the restoration to the Xiangjiao, so that they can do it! ”

At this moment, Wen Tingshi was speechless, and only felt that his vest was cold. He was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice: "Even if the Xiangjiao sneaks in the hundred and tenth people, but the resurrection always has a thousand descendants and refuses to pull them out, and they still can't deal with him......"

Kang Youwei's tone was also as cold as ice: "...... Old Man Han also assured me that he had a way to transfer the last bit of resurrection in his hand at the most critical moment! If the resurrection goes, I will wait for the great thing to be done! Daoxi, look at it, the big change said, when I wait for the power, I will be in these three or two! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ if Yanqingbiao was the most beautiful group in the process of recruiting troops from the Zhili Xiangjiao, then now, this Yanqingbiao is also the most closely monitored group.

It was only ten days after entering the camp, and the incense sect became chaotic. They camped around, and immediately stationed Tan Sitong's descendants. Foreign guns and artillery, all pointed at them. The other children of the Xiangjiao sect are basically divided into various battalions of the new army, except for the most unruly, who have only changed from senior brothers to officers, and pick them out to find a certain barracks to guard. Others can also be used for home camp monitoring.

Where is it like Yanqing Biao, the barracks that I just lived in has become a big prison!

Eating rice and firewood is all received once a day, which will be enough for the big guys to eat eighty percent full. You can't go out of the barracks even if you're free. The atmosphere was extremely urgent.

Fortunately, Yanqing Biao is based on the Praetorian Guard officers and soldiers brought by Chu Wanli as the backbone, and the righteous men of the Shaolin Society in Xiaogezhuang are the auxiliaries, and most of the children are the relatives of the Janissary officers and soldiers in Yanqing. In this case, there is still no disintegration up and down.

Ge Qitai and his brothers, who had just brought the soldiers, still spent their days begging for advice from the Janissaries from the north, and they were still training under surveillance. The reason is very simple, they are Xu Dashuai's people! Now in the whole world, who is bigger than Xu Yifan?

The bottom is extremely calm, but the three leaders have their own performances.

The leader on the bright side is naturally Liu Ruhu, the nephew of Liu, who is trapped in this cage-like situation. It turned out that he was a little excited, and he had already flown out of the clouds, and he shrank in his room all day long, either burning incense and kowtowing, or telling fortunes for himself. It's always not good to calculate, and it seems that this blood-light disaster can't be avoided. So he was doubly depressed.

But Yuan Shikai is like a trapped beast, he worked hard, kicked and beaten, and created a force in such a sinister situation in the north, in order to make a difference in the great changes in the future. But with these 1,500 unarmed soldiers, there are only a few dozen long and short spears hidden, and he is being closely monitored, his hard work is about to turn into flowing water! He walked around the barracks every day, looking at the cards of Tan Si's army and his descendants, as if he could burst out at any time!

Chu Wanli is a different person, it stands to reason that he is the person who can be at ease with what he encounters, and he has never let go of this kind of lazy opportunity given by God. But in the past few days, he has always been locked in his room, drafting telegrams one by one, and then sending them out through Sheng Xuanhuai's secret buy-through channel, God knows how he has so many things to ask for! At the beginning of the battle in southern Liaoning, he was in charge of the aspect, so he dared to change Xu Yifan's strategy without authorization, oppressed the main force of Liaoyang to the south, and finally achieved a great victory. But now, he is sending telegrams one after another to Jiang Ning!

This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, Chu Wanli, who is easy-going and good-natured, and dares to joke about everything, is gone. Occasionally, when he came out, he was staggering on the barracks with his hands in his hands, and there was no longer a relaxed smile on his face. There is only the heaviness that can't be erased between the eyebrows. No matter how difficult the situation was in the past, Chu Wanli could deal with it with the most relaxed attitude, and he could always come up with a way. Now that others are asking him for instructions, and now that he is being monitored, he should do something, but Chu Wanli is always stunned and does not answer, and in the end, it is just a wry smile.

The entire Yanqing Biao from top to bottom is in such a strange situation and atmosphere, and everyone is a little uneasy. are also speculating that the marshal will never let them come here for no reason, and the marshal is in Jiangning, what will he arrange so that they can play a role?

Chu Wanli knew what he was thinking.

One telegram after another was sent, and he had never written so many telegrams in his own handwriting in his life. Every night, the reply sent through secret channels is always the same: "Quickly probe the truth of the capital, and the inside story of the Xiangjiao chaos." When the incense sect will enter Beijing, it must be discovered! Your ministry has no more priority than this. The rest can be treated calmly, and the handsome man sits in Jiangning, and he has his own success! ”

Chu Wanli has 10,000 ways to break the current situation, Tan Sitong's ability to control the situation in the north and the troops under his command is far less certain than Xu Yifan's control of the Praetorian Guard. It is said to be closely monitored, but in fact it is a sieve. There is also Sheng Xuanhuai, a big financier, outside, to break the game, it is too easy.

But then what?

Dashuai, do you really just don't go north, you have to make this place a sea of blood?

It is a great change unseen in 3,000 years, and since you have led us to the present with a new approach. Could it be that in the end, we still have to take the same road of power and art as in the past, the road of Ding Revolution?

In the palm of his hand, he held the power that had only arrived last night, and his face felt the cold wind like a knife. Chu Wanli looked up to the sky and exhaled a long breath of white gas. Looking around, in the messy little snow, Tan Sitong's new army was changing posts in the distance, and the soldiers on duty were jumping and jumping around the fire.

Between heaven and earth, there is a gray cloud.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and every step was steady. Chu Wanli didn't need to look back to know that it was Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai was very angry with him, and he also knew it. Several times Yuan Shikai had to instigate to break the current situation and pull Yanqing out of the standard, whether it was to move closer to southern Liaoning, or simply return to Yanqing, and participate more deeply in the chaos caused by the Xiangjiao in various places, he would become much more active, and he would be able to obtain further information, but it was all pressed down on Chu Wanli. Yuan Shikai is a smart person, and he knows that he is not in charge here, so he won't say much, but he can't avoid meeting Chu Wanli.

Why did you get back together today? Lao Tzu is still in a bad mood, and I don't have much to say to you!

Chu Wanli turned his head with a cold face and watched Yuan Shikai stride over in a low-level junior military attaché's five-cloud coat. When he approached Chu Wanli, he said lazily: "What's the matter?" Everything that needs to be said has already been said, what else is there to talk about? ”

Yuan Shikai had a serious face, and there was a faint look of excitement between his eyebrows: "My lord, there are guests to worship!" ”

"What guest?" Chu Wanli also raised his eyebrows, Rao is smart, and he can't think of who it is. Tan Si is like a thief who guards against them, although he keeps in touch with Sheng Xuanhuai, but he is definitely not a guest, who else will swagger here?

Yuan Shikai bowed his head respectfully: "............ Da Shengkui, Han Lao's shopkeeper! I have already informed Liu Dazi to change his clothes and prepare to meet the guests in the main hall, my lord, we ............"

Chu Wanli waved his hand and sneered faintly: "What are you doing with those vain heads now?" People are here for us, and they can't afford to let the surname Liu pretend anymore............ See him both! The medicine in this gourd, it's time to open the lid and take a look! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jiangning Governor's Office, sign the detention room.

Zhang Peilun was alone in the signing room, clothed in a telegram of correspondence and entertainment, he casually drafted a draft, important information, he made a summary, ready to send to Xu Yifan. One by one, things were delivered, and he just buried his head in silence.

Since Xu Yifan decided not to go north for the time being, he temporarily put his mind on winning over the governors who were about to arrive in Jiangning one after another, and all the important information in the north was sent to Zhang Peilun first and then given to him. In the past two days, he has either been discussing with Li Hongzhang how to let the governors of various places within his scope, or bargaining with Salisbury. It seems that there is no longer the depression and incomprehension of the previous days.

He naturally knew what Xu Yifan was thinking, politics was originally something that was not clean, and Xu Yifan had gone all the way, in the eyes of those who came out of the Qing Dynasty, it was already enough to be justified. The current chaos in the Northland, whether it is the cause or the development, is caused by the Qing Dynasty itself. Even if Xu Yifan made a little move in the meantime, it was just a small push. Dingge is a dynasty, this blood can't be seen, what else can be done? Anyway, after he finished this time, he prepared the people in the lower reaches of the forest, so he did not hesitate to push Xu Yifan forward with the strongest attitude. It can also be regarded as apportioning some responsibilities for Xu Yifan - the superior will inevitably be a little coy, so he will do his best in the end!

It's just that Xu Yifan is really coy?

Sometimes, Zhang Peilun occasionally feels a little unsure. Xu Yifan has never played cards according to the rules. This time, he participated in Xu Yifan's exhibition in the Northland from beginning to end, although he had firmly believed that he had grasped Xu Yifan's mentality, but he was still a little skeptical.

Forget it, why do you want to do so much.

Zhang Peilun looked at Xu Yifan's big empty table in the middle of the signing room, shook his head and smiled, ready to continue to bury his head in the official document.

There was a sound of standing right outside the door, and then Xu Yifan pushed the door in. looked at Zhang Peilun and greeted with a smile: "Youqiao, hard work!" Do you think you'll add a few more people? Can the body hold up? ”

Zhang Peilun got up with a smile and saluted, moving his wrist by the way: "...... I'm the secretary, and I'm usually very idle. The military administration is on the side of the Praetorian Guard, and the civil affairs are under the control of Shaochuan. It's just that now I will synthesize the information of the Northland for the marshal and deal with the entertainment messages and telegrams exchanged by the governors and governors in various places............ It's a matter of confidentiality, so there's no need to add people for the time being. In the future, when other people come to pick up this burden, I can't control how the big boss arranges............"

Xu Yifan smiled: "I kept saying that I would retire after this time, am I so mean to others?" ”

Zhang Peilun also replied with a smile: "There are many people from the dragon, why am I a half-old man?" We're outdated......"

The two chatted casually, both deliberately avoiding news from the Northlands. Everyone knows that there are dead people all the time, and there is only one Tan Sitong, gritting his teeth and struggling to support!

Xu Yifan casually picked up the archived document and telegram directory written down by Zhang Peilun, and said with a smile while flipping through it: "If you want to say that Lao Zhongtang is really ...... Ginger is still old and spicy! He was familiar with the thoughts of the governors of these places............"

His words stopped abruptly, put down the book, and looked at Zhang Peilun fixedly: "............ Why haven't I seen these telegrams for thousands of miles? ”

At this time, Xu Yifan didn't fight anywhere. He sent two people to the north, Sheng Xuanhuai was very hardworking, but he also slipped his head, just synthesized the information and sent it all, and he didn't have any opinions of his own. And Chu Wanli's judgment ability, as well as his observation ability, are all things he relies on very much............ Even subconsciously, he wanted to hear Chu Wanli say something different! Zhang Peilun was so bold that he concealed all the messages and telegrams sent by Chu Wanli in the past few days!

It's just a matter of concealment, and he dares to record it in the directory of casual files, do you really think that he Xu Yifan is illiterate? Do you really think that you Zhang Youqiao can cover the sky with one hand in front of Lao Tzu?

When there was nowhere to vent the evil fire that had accumulated in his heart, he looked at Zhang Peilun's gaze even more coldly!

Xu Yifan is already a powerful figure in the world, and the last time Anhui Governor Deng Huaxi came to worship, he almost had to kneel three times and bow nine times. He is the best candidate to be in control of this country by the world, although it still seems that the shelf is not big as usual. But the people trembled more than before him. Authoritarianism is already natural. These two cold gazes are cast over, and everyone will be frightened!

Zhang Peilun met Xu Yifan's gaze without fear: "Marshal, remember the humble position, about the matter of the Northland, the strategy has been decided?" ”

Xu Yifan still looked at him and said lightly: "So what?" ”

Zhang Peilun slowly stood up: "...... The big policy has been decided, so as long as the lowly post is in charge, as long as it is within the scope of the commander's instructions, why can't he deal with these ordinary telegrams? Why can't you just report the strategy decided by the marshal to Lord Chu casually? These things can be added to the records of correspondence and telegrams, so why is there anything wrong with being lowly in office? The marshal can take a look at the footnotes next to him, and the lowly reply is to let them calm down and continue to investigate the news in the northland............ What's wrong with that? ”

Xu Yifan calmed his anger: "Youqiao, I'm not arguing with you............ You can be said to be right. But thousands of miles of literature and telegrams, you always have to show me first! ”

"I'm just worried that Lord Chu's telegram will mess with the handsome heart!"

Zhang Peilun replied quickly and quickly, holding his head high and not backing down at all.

Xu Yifan raised his hand violently and pointed at Zhang Peilun's nose. But he couldn't say a word. The movements of the two were frozen there, and after a while, Xu Yifan put down his arms and put on his military civilian clothes: "My heart is like iron, who can mess with it?" The telegram in front of the ten thousand miles, so be it, if there is another telegram coming, you will show it to me as soon as possible! ”

"Dare to disobey your orders?" Zhang Peilun's voice in reply was still very loud. Xu Yifan turned his head and glared at him fiercely, and strode out of the door.

Zhang Peilun was still standing there with his neck held high, and at this time, he felt a trace of cold sweat slipping down from his vest.

If it's really a gesture, then it's too realistic?

Xu Yifan............ You can't really be so soft-hearted............ Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get to where he is today!

After a long time, Zhang Peilun shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Is what you did right or wrong?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ small barracks that was temporarily used as a reception room, there were only four guests and hosts, sitting opposite each other. Looking at each other, they all felt that they had a lot to say, but no one opened their mouths first.

The barracks of Yanqing Standard were originally simple, and this time the visitors came in secret, and one less person knew that it was one. So in this hut, except for the tables and chairs, there is not even a cup of tea.

The people who came were the shopkeeper Han Lao and Zhang Yu, the old man was dressed thickly, and he looked old. I sat there coughing twice and my body shook as if I could fall down at any moment. Zhang Yu was still the same, with a gloomy face, and his hands were placed on his knees in a regular manner, as if this kind of occasion could make him sit down, which already made him feel uncomfortable.

Opposite them were Yuan Shikai and Chu Wanli. Yuan Shikai's eyes were blazing, but he forced himself to hold back his emotions and looked up at the ceiling. Chu Wanli tilted his head in the chair, looking left and right at the visitor, looking up and down, as if he had to study something from these two guys.

Old Shopkeeper Han coughed lightly again. Chu Wanli let out a sigh: "Old man, why are you doing this?" ”

The old man smiled, avoiding his gaze.

Chu Wanli opened his mouth, and Yuan Shikai also figured out the proportions, and said a greeting that was neither salty nor light: "The old man has worked hard all the way. It's not easy to come here, right? ”

Han Zhongping smiled: "...... The old man has been in the north for a long time, and he knows everyone well. Sheng Xingsun can buy you a newspaper here to go the same way, I'm just afraid that the money is more than Sheng Xingsun, and there is no trouble in coming here............ It's just that the two of them, as the heavy generals under Xu Yifan, kicked out a Yanqing mark here, which is admirable! The old man already knew that this Yanqing was marked with the shadow of your Xu Dashuai, and he was thinking about which one was presiding, but when he saw the two of them today, he suddenly realized! It's cold in the north, are you used to it? ”

Chu Wanli still shook his head there, still saying the same sentence: "Old man, why are you doing this?" ”

Han Zhongping said leisurely with his hands in his hands: "You are handsome, you should have told me where I came from, right?" ”

Chu Wanli was the chief of staff of the General Staff Headquarters of the Praetorian Guard, and before going north, all the important information of the northern land passed through his hands. Now it is Zhang Peilun who is in charge, Yuan Shikai is the first to go deep into the north, and he is responsible for finding out the movements of the Xiangjiao, Xu Yifan has also informed him, how did the two not know that Han Zhongping was the last general of the earthly kingdom more than thirty years ago!

Chu Wanli put his hands on his knees, leaned forward, and the expression of hard thinking on his handsome face, he didn't look at Han Zhongping, but was just immersed in his thoughts: "What kind of hatred is enough to repay with the blood of 100,000 people?" Kill the Tartars, I can understand, isn't that what we're doing now? But the whole of the Northland was swept up in a bloody storm............ I'm afraid there will be a massacre at the end............ Old man, can you sleep at night? ”

Han Zhongping bowed politely: "Lord Lao Chu remembers, the old man has been coughing a little recently, but he can sleep peacefully...... When I sleep until dawn, I don't have many dreams. ”

Yuan Shikai just looked at Chu Wanli, his eyes turned around, and it seemed that there were countless words hidden in his chest, but he couldn't bear to say them.

Chu Wanli slapped his face: "I knew it was useless to persuade you, I have hated you for thirty years, I want to resolve it, it is a fairy......... There's not much more to say. I am a soldier, but a thief is a begging. Foreign thieves are foreign devils who bully us, and they want to beg. The national thieves are the Qing Dynasty court, which has suppressed the country for more than 200 years, and they want to beg. Thieves - like you, I'm going to ask for it. One is a soldier and the other is a thief, so what else is there to talk about? Go back, old man. If you keep going, I'll sweep you down. ”

Yuan Shikai gritted his teeth and just didn't speak.

Han Zhongping didn't care about Chu Wanli's words at all, and smiled leisurely: "That's a good thing............ But for the Qing Dynasty, isn't Xu Yifan also a thief? Everyone is the same............ Besides, it is not Lord Chu who can decide whether you are in Yanjing City to please me Han Zhongping, or secretly cooperate with me Han Zhongping............ But Jiang Ning's one! Everyone's business still has to be discussed............"

Old Han's eyes were full of mocking smiles, and he didn't know whether he was laughing at Chu Wanli's innocent and fake good people, or if Xu Yifan, who was laughing at Jiangning, was actually not much nobler than him.

“………… Why don't you listen to what I came to see you both? At least that's the information you need most! Could it be that you two are still afraid of an old man like me? ”

In the past, Chu Wanli has always dealt with this kind of verbal and sword topic with ease, and he will lose enough people with a smile, but this time he stood up with a snort, wanted to brush his sleeves away, and finally closed his eyes and opened them again: "You said, I will report back to Dashuai............ It's just that you have this little thought, don't show off in front of me Chu Wanli! ”

"In front of the first intelligent general under Xu Dashuai, how dare Han show off?" Han Zhongping smiled more and more calmly, and also stood up, his eyes blazing.

“………… Han's energy in the Northland is unimaginable for the two of them! And why Han Mou, the two and Xu Dashuai know it well! The old man only asks for revenge! Completely flattening the current imperial court, wouldn't it open the way for the cause of the new dynasty? The only obstacle now is Tan Si's ears! The two of them led this thousand and five unarmed soldiers, trapped in the shallows, helpless against the current situation............ Han can make up for the two of them within ten days! With the backbone of the Praetorian Guard, the simple and loyal warriors, and the army of a thousand and five, the capital can be determined! Han will create every opportunity for the two to lead the army into Yanjing City, and when the time comes, the two will do whatever they like, control the court situation, buy people's hearts, and respond to Xu Dashuai according to the imperial capital............ Whatever you want! What Han wants is just to slaughter the Manchurian royal family in Yanjing City! Two, Han please! ”
