Henan ().

On the edge of the pond in the "Yangshou Garden" in Huanshang Village, Zhangde, the fishing line at the top of the fishing rod was just straightened, and the housekeeper next to him had not yet called it away, but Yuan Shikai, who was like a mud bodhisattva, shook his hand, and the fishing line was suddenly loosened again.

Yang Shiqi, who was standing next to him, smiled knowingly and said, "The cultivation skills of adults are really admirable. ”

"Xingcheng doesn't want to make fun of me, now I'm idle at home, what kind of cultivation to talk about." After Yuan Shikai got up and handed over the fishing rod to his subordinates, he walked side by side with Yang Shiqi into the garden and asked, "How is it in Sichuan?" ”

"Gong Bao still can't be idle."

Yang Shiqi has won the trust of his steady work, and has been his staff for several years, so he knows his temper very well, and his face sank and said: "The news came yesterday that Brother Sichuan and the chaotic party have come together and are stepping up the siege of Chengdu Mansion, Governor Zhao Erfeng personally led troops to defend the town, Huayang, Shuangliu, Xinjin and Qiongzhou, Pujiang, Dayi and other more than 10 prefectures and counties have also heard the sound of riots, and the rebel party has gathered tens of thousands of people, Zhao Erfeng has already played the imperial court, saying that Sichuan is not strong enough troops, and requires immediate mobilization from Huguang, Yungui transferred a new army into Sichuan to suppress the riot, and I heard that it was once the idea of our six towns in Beiyang. ”

"What a big move." Yuan Shikai glanced at the fish pond and asked, "What is the movement in the court?" ”

"Zaifeng has ordered Zhao Erfeng to effectively suppress it, and also strictly ordered Ruicheng and Zhang Biao to send the new army north to support, in addition to transferring 66 bids from the 17 towns of the Yunnan army into Sichuan."

Yuan Shikai frowned, he didn't expect that Sichuan had been eroded to this point, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Kill the Tartars on August 15...... Hehe, is there any news from Wuchang recently? ”

Yang Shiqi nodded secretly, Yuan Shikai is worthy of being a man of great talent, and he saw through the key to the chaos in Sichuan at a glance, in the final analysis, Sichuan is only the mainland, as long as Wuchang is stuck to block the river, it is the fish in this pond, so he hurriedly said: "Although Zhang Biao and Ruicheng have a discord, but they dare not mess around in this matter, the two have ordered the eighth town to block the Yangtze River, and Ruicheng also transferred Chen Delong, Chu Yu and Chu Qian of the Yangtze River Naval Division to Wuchang, and cooperated with the strict investigation of the waterway (). ”

"Still." Yang Shiqi smiled and said: "Although Zhang Biao is ready to enter Sichuan, he has not left for a long time, but recommended Ruifang to lead the troops. ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"Hehe, it's not that careful thinking about protecting the military power, that Rui Fang also called Zhao Erfeng yesterday, asking for control to all the power of the Sichuan army, for this matter the two of them also got dirty, I heard that the matter went to the side of Rui Cheng, the governor of Huguang, Rui Cheng and Rui Fang were already a nest of snakes and rats, how could they help Zhao Erfeng, Zhang Biao also turned a deaf ear to this matter, it seems that he also wants to use the hand of Rui Fang to spread his new army forces to Sichuan."

"A bunch of fools are not afraid of getting into trouble!" Yuan Shikai scolded, looked up at the sky and sighed: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, judging from Xingcheng, is this day really going to change?" ”

Although Yang Shiqi was quite anxious, he was not so nervous that Liu Ji only asserted back then, and said with a smile: "Gong Bao is deliberately trying to see my jokes." Yuan Shikai was also amused, waved his hand and said: "Xingcheng, you will bring some silver into Beijing in a while, the court is in trouble, and we old courtiers should also do our best, hey, it's a pity for my leg." ”

After speaking, he also deliberately patted the leg that was said to be sick, Yang Shiqi understood what he meant, and said: "Gong Bao can recuperate at home, Xingcheng will live up to expectations." ”

After Yang Shiqi left, Yuan Shikai didn't dare to delay, immediately went back to the study to write a few letters, called the intimate guards and said: "There are a few letters here, you go to see Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui immediately, and come back immediately without saying anything after the letter is delivered." ”

After the guards left, Yuan Shikai opened the map, and the eagle eyes were firmly fixed on the small Wuchang.

Miao Luo leaned on the head of the bed, pricked up her little ears to hear that there was no talk outside, and was just about to stand up, when suddenly a sound of footsteps frightened her and she hurriedly fell down again, and turned her back to the door on one side of her body ().

Yang Qiu pushed open the door and saw that Miao Luo had already slept, so he hurriedly walked to the side of the bed with light steps, and just as his fingers were dipped in the quilt and were about to lift it to see her injuries, he heard a coquettish sound.

"Thief, what do you want to do?"

This girl was pretending to be asleep. Yang Qiu smiled secretly in his heart, but the hand holding the quilt didn't dare to open it anymore, originally he didn't have that thought, but Miao Luo's shouting reminded him of that night, so he touched his nose and said with a smile: "I just want to see how the wound is." ”

The girl's pale cheeks due to blood loss also rose a flush, and she hurriedly said, "No, no, the doctor has already seen it in the morning, and said that it has scabbed, as long as you have a good rest for a while, it will be fine." ”

"That's good." Looking at Miao Luo, Yang Qiu couldn't find anything to say for a while, so he had to go to the window and push open the window and said: "During the recuperation period, you need to breathe more fresh air, you can't stay in bed for a long time, and you should move more where you can move, so as to promote blood circulation and speed up wound healing." ”

Leaning on the bed and listening to him ramble and say something he didn't understand, Miao Luo Xiu's eyes slashed fiercely, and he didn't know where he learned these things from, not only is he skilled, but also knows how to treat gunshot wounds, no wonder he can be a big official, what a dog thief!

Miao Luo was originally an active person, but after being injured, he had to lie down like this every day, and he was already a little impatient, and when he saw Yang Qiu open the window and lowered his head, he said, "I want to look outside." ”

Hearing the grievances in the words, Yang Qiu guessed that she was homesick, and immediately put an extra quilt on her back, so that she could see the river scenery in the distance, and said, "I'll take care of them later, and let you look outside every day, so as not to get bored." ”

"Aren't you afraid I'll run away?" The girl wrinkled her eyebrows and glared again.

Yang Qiu smiled: "Run, run, I don't necessarily mean that I will lock you up for the rest of your life." ”

"Hmph, if it weren't for my foot injury, you wouldn't want to lock me up!"

Seeing that Miao Luo had suffered such a serious gunshot wound and had a hard mouth, Yang Qiu also smiled and said, "That is, our Miao girl is a heroine, a heroine who specializes in killing thieves like me." ”

"Shameless." I don't know what I thought, Yang Qiu's words caused Miao Luo to blush for a while, and only after a while did he raise his head again, looked at Yang Qiu sadly and said, "Can I do it." ”

"Send a telegram to say you're safe, right?"

I was guessed by this thief again, I really deserve to die. Miao Luo hated in his heart, and always felt that this good-looking guy seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, so he quickly twisted his eyes and reported the telegram address.

"Send what? Just say that all is well, and do not read it? Yang Qiu asked.

"Of course not." Miao Luo thought for a while and said: "You just send it, the river is free, and the peacock flies southeast." ”

"Dajiang is free, and the peacock flies southeast? Why do you post this? ”

Seeing Yang Qiu's stunned face, the girl suddenly felt a little proud in her heart, she finally had something he didn't know, and smiled and revealed two charming dimples: "This is a secret word, stupid." ”

"Haha." Seeing Miao Luo smiling, the stupidity on Yang Qiu's face immediately disappeared, and he also smiled: "Actually, you should smile more, because you look good when you smile." Seeing that Miao Luo was showing signs of madness, Yang Qiu hurriedly walked to the door with the telegram address: "Take care of your illness, I'll come to see you in a few days." With that, he took the door and left.

"Bastard, I knew this was a code word and pretended to be stupid! This thief is ...... Can't you talk to me more? Suffocated! Miao Luo pouted, kicked the quilt with his right foot in anger, and a white and dazzling slender ** suddenly appeared in the air.
