When the sergeant heard the Tao, he felt it in his heart; When the sergeant heard this, he asked for it; When the corporal heard this, he begged for a technique.
Zhang Zhankui has been a horse for many years, and he has always been accustomed to acting alone, and it is precisely because he feels that if he wants to improve his kung fu, only by sharpening his insight and boxing skills in actual combat can he be the most effective.
The so-called art masters are bold, not to mention Zhang Zhankui after smelling the mysteries of the Dan Dao.
There are four great avenue sect masters in the Yuan Mansion, which is naturally impregnable, and Zhang Zhankui only needs to be responsible for the security work on the periphery.
However, what Feng Guozhang couldn't understand was that although he had repeatedly told him, he still couldn't see that Zhang Zhankui was the slightest nervous, and it seemed that this time he was ordered to be in danger as if it was not a heavy burden, but was regarded as a great opportunity to break through the threshold of life and death.
The so-called cat has a cat road, and a mouse has a mouse road.
Just when everyone was closely monitoring the surroundings of Yuan's mansion, Zhang Zhankui still wandered around the bustling bookstore and theater all day long, although he secretly focused on Yuan Shikai's daily comings and goings, but in the eyes of everyone, it inevitably seemed too leisurely, but under Yuan Shikai's orders, he had to endure it......
"There is no doubt in employing people, there are no suspicious people, there are four real people in charge, I believe that this Sai Tianba will not break his word, not to mention the current situation, the revolutionary party should think about how to please the old man......"
On January 1, 1912, Sun Yat-sen proclaimed the founding of the Republic of China in Nanjing and assumed the position of the provisional president of the Republic of China. Suddenly, it fell into an awkward stalemate.
At the behest of Yuan Shikai, who felt that he had been tricked by the revolutionary party, 47 Beiyang generals, including Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, and Zhang Zuolin, jointly sent a letter to the Cabinet, the Military Advisory Office, the Sixth Military Department, and the princes and ministers, asking each of them to pay out of their own pockets to fund military expenses in order to resolutely oppose the republic, and to frequently dispatch troops on the northern and southern fronts where there had been a ceasefire.
Under the imminent shape of the war, the capital was naturally full of rumors, but when everyone in the Beiyang family thought that the revolutionary party would make concessions under the pressure of the Beiyang Army, a sudden event completely broke the calm before the storm.
"The revolutionary party has been losing and retreating in the past few days, and the three towns of Wuhan have been captured by our army again, and they have been in the market for the past two days. A subtle change was felt. Thinking about it, I'm afraid that the other party has made a move, if the handsome man is fine, I hope that I will go out of the house less......"
On the morning of January 16, Yuan Shikai was in front of the court. Suddenly, at the same time, he received a warning excerpt hurriedly handed over by Xiao Dezhang and Zhang Zhankui. Naturally, I didn't like it in my heart. However, he had been in a high position for many years, and even if he knew that the revolutionary party might really take a risk at the moment, he could not do it just because he was worried. The meeting with the cabinet ministers was delayed.
Yuan Shikai opened his arms and let his subordinates put the golden silk inner armor on the outside of his underwear, and then then he put on a mink robe and court clothes, "Today's guards have doubled their manpower, and I also told Zhang Zhankui, my route into the palace is the same as in the past, let him be careful and careful, the old man has been fighting horses all his life, is it possible to make a few chaotic ministers and thieves scared ......"
The huge capital is now Yuan Shikai's home world, even in the eyes of those Han Chen, who still have to be reused in the cabinet, this chaotic world will inevitably have the surname Yuan in the future, not to mention Xiao Dezhang, who is now in a dilemma.
The number one celebrity around the Empress Dowager Yulon, the first chief of the inner palace who once drove the important ministers of the court to be like house slaves, has long lost the domineering spirit when Xuantong ascended the throne, but because Yuan Shikai has been secretly bribing a lot of money, in the hope that he will persuade the Empress Dowager Yulon as soon as possible, his power actually does not have much loss, but when he heard the news that Yuan Shikai still entered the palace the same way, his heart unconsciously became a little uncertain......
"Doesn't this person have the number of qi in the world?"
The same question also appeared in the hearts of many people who had been watching for a long time, but no matter how much doubt they had in their hearts, when they faced the impregnable Forbidden City, they still did not have the courage to make the slightest action or even idea that could lead to annihilation......
Except for a group of revolutionaries disguised as sweeping eunuchs!
These people are not many in number, but they are the most elite group of officials in the Beijing-Tianjin branch of the League, and there are even a few backbone cadres among them, who have been carefully trained by the Shanghai CIA for many years to assassinate masters.
Although the time was a bit rushed, and there was no time to study too much about the details of the assassination plan, these backbones who were well versed in disguise, assassination, and even explosive skills started the operation with confidence after receiving the news that there were masters who would answer or even cover up during the operation.
The reason why they were confident was not only because they had a master to answer and cover, but also because before the operation officially began, they had reconnoitred more than ten times along the way, and even risked being exposed, bribed the little eunuch of the Internal Affairs Department, and studied Yuan Shikai's daily route and even rhythm almost clearly.
The location of the operation was set on T-shaped street in Donghua Gate.
There are very few people there on weekdays, and it is a turning point of several official roads, once successful, it is easy to take advantage of the chaotic flow of people to disperse and lurk in this populous capital.
The most important thing is that standing at this crossroads, you can take a look at the movements on several roads along the way, as long as you bury enough explosives here, not to mention Yuan Shikai, even the immortal Buddha of the heavens can make him fly in an instant!
The entire assassination plan has been repeatedly scrutinized, and it can almost be called perfect, but because of the restrictions of the roads and even the terrain along the way, such a place where soldiers must fight, still can't withstand the scrutiny of the veterans, as for Zhang Zhankui, who has already been able to comprehend kung fu and has the ability to foresee the crisis, after receiving the news that Yuan Shikai is going to the court, he took the lead in taking the horses of the Admiral of the Nine Gates to search all the way to the T-shaped street......
"Everyone search here carefully, the handsome man must pass through here when he enters the palace today, don't miss the ambush because of carelessness, if something really goes wrong. Just take care of your own head! ”
With many years of experience in tracking and reconnaissance and actual combat in the field, he instinctively felt that there was an extremely uncomfortable aura here, but just as he took his rifle and was about to pierce the ground with a bayonet, he suddenly felt a looming killing force from the direction of the intersection on the right!
"On the right!"
Zhang Zhankui kicked under his feet, and his body shot out like a flying arrow, and when he saw a figure suddenly jumping up on the wall above the alley in front of him, ready to climb over the wall, he shouted in surprise. "Over here. Follow me! ”
Twenty or thirty horses were in a state of shock, and rushed over with their guns and crossbows, but they did not notice the young men hiding behind the door in a grain store behind them. I almost got the butt of the gun in my hand out of the water because of nervousness. "How can there be anyone over there? It was the master who answered it on purpose. Or has the entire plan been leaked? ”
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't know what to do, although they could still wait here to assassinate at this moment. But if those horses are quick to kill the horses again, I am afraid that the whole operation will be in vain.
"You two and the others will withdraw first, I will stay here to monitor, in case the situation changes, it is better than being caught in one net, if the old thief still goes this way, I myself will be able to detonate all the explosives in turn......"
"No, it's too dangerous, and the detonation of several explosives can't be synchronized......"
The man who spoke just now looked steady, and when his companion retorted, he removed the rifle aimed at the outside of the door panel and threw it to the other companions, "This is an order, according to the wartime regulations of the CIA, I am the supreme commander here, so you guys hurry up and get out of here!" ”
At the same time, Zhang Zhankui also ran farther and farther, and when he was sure in his heart that the person in front of him was definitely an assassin, the two people who walked all the way through the alley and over the wall had already thrown the horse behind him out of the distance.
"I don't know which way of the road, do you really want to embarrass my Nine Cities Internal Affairs Division......"
Just when Zhang Zhankui shouted loudly, the feet of the person in front of him suddenly stopped, and then he was very familiar with the courtyard behind several large granaries of five or six meters......
"There are no other officials at the moment, if you make a friend, as long as you are willing to go out of the city, I, Zhang Zhankui, dare to guarantee that you are fine!"
Zhang Zhankui's face was a little ugly, but his tone had to be as tactful as possible, his observation was very amazing, and he could naturally see that these people who came in and out in front of him were all serious officials and miscellaneous servants, but since that person could quickly escape here and disappear, I am afraid that he either really had the intention of hiding, or he had the idea of diverting the tiger from the mountain......
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhankui's heart suddenly moved inexplicably, and then he stomped his feet with some remorse, and saw that there was still no one inside and outside the official warehouse, so he suddenly turned around and ran wildly towards the original road, "The situation has changed, everyone return to the intersection just now!" ”
With Zhang Zhankui's mortal vision, he saw from a distance a few tired and blue-faced errand soldiers, who were running towards this side with their armor abandoned, thinking of their own actions just now, they didn't feel more and more sure that there was fraud in them, but just when he had just run out of the 100 meters, he suddenly slowly walked out of the intersection in front of him......
"I have long heard that there are good practices in the six doors, and today I saw Uncle Zhang's amazing skills, and then I know that it is really worthy of the name, but I don't know if Uncle Zhang can enjoy a face and have a drink with his nephew!"
"Yang Meng?!"
Zhang Zhankui suddenly stopped at his feet, and unconsciously put on a strange fist fight in his hand, and when he saw that the person did not rush forward at all, he admired with some admiration, "No wonder Senior Brother has always regarded you as the heir to the mantle, just with your kung fu, bearing and strategy, it is enough to prove that you have long been out of the category of ordinary people, I thought that the master and they were making a big fuss, but I never thought that I was waiting to underestimate you......"
Yang Meng was calm, and there was a small and delicate golden silk nanmu table at his feet.
Under the sunlight, the gold threads on the table flickered, and the four dried fruits and two jars of wine on it looked particularly elegant, if it was just that, there was nothing surprising about it, but when these unremarkable objects appeared out of thin air on the road of the crowd, it was enough to show how extraordinary they were hidden!
Not to mention, the wine glass under the jar is still steaming with mouth-watering wine and mellowness......
"Uncle Shi has won the award, but he has no intention, you see that all the brothers are also tired, it is better to sit down and rest on the side......"
Yang Meng raised the wine glass in his hand and raised it at Zhang Zhankui seemingly casually, but this understatement made Zhang Zhankui, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly become very solemn, "Don't move!" ”
"Zhang Zhutou, this ......"
"Shut up, sit down to the right of the little table over there!"
The faces of the horses became a little strange, but after looking at the surrounding environment, they suddenly fell silent, seeing Yang Meng standing in front of them like this, instead of acting rashly, they threw the guns and crossbows in their hands at Yang Meng's feet with great understanding......
"Those who can eat official jobs in this capital are really handsome men who know current affairs, so it's better for Uncle Shi to take a break here, and his nephew is still entangled in some mundane affairs, so he can come when he goes!"
Zhang Zhankui looked at the official warehouse that was still running normally like flowing water, and finally understood what he hadn't figured out, and saw Yang Meng turn around and prepare to return to the original way, so he gritted his teeth and said, "What if the old man says no?" ”
