In the middle of the night, two dead wind lamps are hung high at the door of the Admiral's Yamen, although the style is a little old, but the original kerosene wick in the wind lamp has been replaced with 16 light bulbs, and there are occasional electric lights flickering in the houses next to the government office, and the wires and water pipes arranged along the beams of the house intertwine the ancient and the modern.

In the palace, Zhang Biao, the governor of Hubei and the commander of the Hubei New Army, had already changed into civilian clothes, glanced at Xiao Anguo and Yang Qiu, who came suddenly, and then slowly put down the book and picked up the invitation card handed by Ma Ben (adjutant).

After reading the famous post, Zhang Biao snorted coldly in his heart, but the old fox is the old fox, the whole world knows that he and Ruicheng are incompatible, they restrain each other, and they all feel that the other party is in the way, but he will not show it on his face, especially to the people below, so he raised his eyes after a while and asked: "Chenhua, An Guo, you two came overnight to take this pastime old man?" ”

Xiao Anguo didn't read much, and he even looked down on the revolutionary party when he was in charge of the heavy camp before, and the people's camp club, the Qizhi Club or something was lively, and when he got here, there were only white eyes and disdain, and it was very good to sneak some private work for the official, so the things on this kind of scene could only be done to see Yang Qiu let him talk back and forth ().

This is also called big brother?

Yang Qiu's belly was dark, and he replied: "Back to my lord, Yang Qiu grew up outside since he was a child, he didn't know how to be reasonable, and he didn't have much time to serve under the adult's account. ”

"Oh? Then why don't you go to you. ”

"Don't hide it from your lord, my subordinates went to find Lord Li, but Lord Li has already rested, so."

Zhang Biao nodded, quite satisfied with Yang Qiu's answer, but how could the old fox express his position casually, picked up the name post and flicked his finger lightly, looked at Yang Qiu and suddenly asked, "Then with your thoughts, do you want to go to this celebration banquet or not?" ”

"Bastard, I'll kill you sooner or later." Yang Qiu was furious in his heart, whether it was in this life or in his previous life, what he hated the most was going around in circles, but now he was still on an errand in the hands of others, so he could only bite his tongue and wave his hand: "My lord, I am a person who is in the army and I don't know how to socialize, so I asked my lord to return the famous post for us." ”

"Hmph, Yang Qiu, you are so bold!"

Yang Qiu thought that he would be satisfied when he heard it, but a cold snort suddenly exploded in his ears, and when he looked at Zhang Biao again, the other party's face was already pale, and he glared at the bull's eye and said angrily: "Do you think the old man doesn't know your little thoughts?" The old man and the governor are a little unhappy, but it is all for the sake of the court and the Qing Dynasty! How can Rong Er and others slander in private and talk about Lord Rui! ”

"Come on, punish this Yang Qiucane who is privately figuring out Shangguan to the ten military sticks, in order to set an example for you ()!"

I just received twenty whips, but I didn't expect to be beaten again with ten military sticks before I said a few words, Yang Qiu was also stunned, what kind of play did Zhang Biao sing? Xiao Anguo was also anxious when he saw this, and was about to speak and beg for mercy, but when he saw Yang Qiulian's eyes, he could only shut up and watch him being pressed down and not speak.

The crackling ten big boards hit Yang Da's thief's buttocks, and when the soldiers helped him up, his buttocks were already high and swollen, and when he saw his face turned blue, Zhang Biao continued to ask with satisfaction: "What do you want to say now?" ”

Yang Qiu endured the pain in his buttocks, bared his teeth and inhaled: "My lord, I don't accept the mark, I was born in the army, and I only served in the baggage camp before, and I have never had such a thing." ”

"Hmph." A sneer came out of Zhang Biao's nostrils, and his eyes became more and more cold, which made Xiao Anguo even more panicked and hurriedly persuaded Yang Qiu.

Although Yang Qiu's butt hurt badly, he could guess a little bit of Zhang Biao's thoughts, and if he changed his words at this moment, he would really be able to figure out Shangguan's charges, so he gritted his teeth and put on a stunned look, but he didn't want to change his words.

"This time, the old man, for the time being, you will spare you if you don't pay respects." Zhang Biao actually had a calculation in his heart, and when he saw Yang Qiu holding his neck, he didn't say much, put the name in front of him, and deliberately said: "It's just to celebrate your achievements, why can't you go?" As long as you remember the reputation of our new army, don't drink too much and go crazy. As for the rest, it's up to you, the old man is busy with official business, so don't bother me again. ”

"Yes, I understand, thank you for your advice." When Xiao Anguo heard Zhang Biao say this, he was relieved, and hurriedly picked up the name card and pretended to drag Yang Qiu to thank him.

Probably wanting to take care of it more, Zhang Biaopi coughed twice without smiling, and said with a cold look in his eyes: "Yang Qiu, after this incident, you will immediately give me the 42 bid, and the other old men will block it for you." ”

Yang Qiu was also relieved in his heart, seeing that Zhang Biao seemed to be leaving, he hurriedly stopped and said: "The adult's teachings must be remembered, and it will live up to the grace of the adult's cultivation!" It's just that most of these brothers are scattered all over the place, can you let them come back once so that I can see them (). ”

Zhang Biao agreed to this matter very happily, whether he can be trained as his confidant or not, the army has the rules of the army, and since ancient times, new officials have to be prestigious, not to mention that he is also counting on Yang Qiu to make a big fuss to help him lead out those chaotic parties in order to completely eradicate internal troubles, so he immediately wrote down the transfer order and handed it to Yang Qiu: "Just go to Lord Li to negotiate." ”

After limping out of the Admiral's Mansion with the order to transfer troops, Yang Qiu wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.

Crying was a stick in vain, which made him understand that if he used the traditional method, the fight with these old foxes in the novel would be over sooner or later, and it would be hot in just ten strokes, and if it was thirty or fifty strokes, he might not be able to lie down for a few months.

The laughing thing is that the order to transfer troops has finally arrived, as long as he can bring back the 42 standards scattered in various places for a period of time, he will have hope to control this army, what is more important than a gun in troubled times?!

Seeing the change in the expression on Yang Qiu's face, Xiao Anguo, who was supporting him, thought it was a pain in his buttocks, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Brother, I hurt you again this time, are you okay?" ”

"Hehehe." Yang Qiu pulled at the wound as soon as he laughed, and only after relieving himself did he say: "Brother Xiao, you should be happy, at least Lord Admiral has allowed us to go to the appointment, if we go without reporting, I'm afraid it won't be a matter of being punished." ”

"That's right, it's just bitter your ass, it's been twice, right?"

"Why doesn't this guy open a pot?" Yang Qiu smiled viciously and said, "Brother Xiao, why don't you give me medicine this time?" ”

"You mother, I don't have the habit of serving men's butts!" Xiao Anguo smiled, pushed this shameless guy to the side, and was just about to ask Yang Qiu again why he ordered the troops to be withdrawn, when he saw that Bingwen was already waiting outside the door.

After seeing the two of them, Bingwen hurriedly greeted them, his eyes kept looking behind the two, and when he saw that there was no problem behind them, he quietly inserted the revolver seized from Guang'an back into his waist and said, "Brother Yang, I saw that you came out so late for fear of danger, so ()." ”

"Hehe, Bingwen still cares about us." Xiao Anguo did not doubt it, smiled and patted Bingwen and walked back together. Only Yang Qiu frowned secretly, a little strange for him to appear here, subconsciously looked back, and found a cigarette butt that had been thrown on the ground in the far corner of the street was flickering, as if telling the owner that he should not have thrown it away early.

On the corner of the street, Li Xiping and Jin Leprosy looked at Yang Qiu's back viciously, and only after a while did they put away the revolver and look at Bingwen again, before quickly disappearing into the darkness along the labyrinthine old street.

After the two left, another slender back appeared in place, different from the previous two, her attention was completely focused on Yang Qiu, seeing that there was no good opportunity, Silver Tooth bit her foot and stomped her foot and said to herself: "Yang Qiu, you dog thief, you wait, my aunt and grandmother will not kill you and swear not to be a person!" ”

The black clouds are overwhelming, the night is hazy, and there is not even a little wind on the huge Yangtze River, which is a sign before the rainstorm that is well known.

In the dark room on the second floor of No. 85 Xiaochao Street, under the unbearable heat, Liu Fuji could only slightly open some windows that had been closed all year round, and found a pu fan to fan the wind while looking at the map of the three towns of Wuchang and pondering carefully.

He didn't know how many times he had read the map of the three towns on the table, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was extremely chaotic, and at this moment he realized that there was still a gap between himself and those who were really in the army, and now it was just a small three towns, and if it was enlarged to the whole country in the future, he didn't know what it would look like.

After taking a sip of herbal tea to consciously dissipate some of the heat, Liu Fuji just lay on the table again, when he heard a sound of footsteps outside, and hurriedly reached out and took out a Colt revolver from the drawer.

After the door opened, Liu Fuji finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw people coming, and said with a smile: "I thought it was the man who dared to break in at night, it turned out to be you." Sun Wu smiled, put down his disguised hat and said, "If you want to say bold, you are full of blood." ”

"What you want is blood, if even the blood is cold, how can you overthrow the Manchu Tartars and restore the Han dynasty ()." Liu Fuji smiled, ended the joke and asked, "It's so late, why did you come to me?" ”

Sun Wu sighed, took out a telegram from his arms and handed it to Liu Fuji: "It was a telegram from Shanghai from Mr. Song, the Miao girl next to him got off the boat when he was passing through Wuchang on his way back from Sichuan, Mr. Song was worried about his safety, let us find her and take good care of her." ”

"Miss Miao?" Liu Fuji scratched his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Is it the Miao brothers and sisters sent by Hongmen to protect Mr. Song?" ”

Seeing Sun Wu nodding, Liu Fuji also secretly said that it was not good, these two brothers and sisters have been protecting Mr. Song all the year round, and they know that they are not very detailed, and he also happened to hear Chen Qimei say when he went to Shanghai last time to do business, and the two of them have an extraordinary status in Hongmen and are people with a big background.

Sun Wu looked around and found that Liu Fuji was the only one there, and asked, "By the way, what about Ju Zheng and Yang Yuru?" And Bo Kui (Jiang Yiwuzi) Why didn't you see them all the way over? ”

"Ju Zheng and Yang Yuru have already taken Liu Gong's money to Shanghai to purchase guns, Bo Kui I didn't see him today, this guy is not in shape all day long, and I don't know where to fool around again, have you gone to Liu Gong to look for it?"

"Go." Sun Wu picked up a fan and said while fanning: "I'm looking for him, he is familiar, and it depends on him to find Miss Miao." ”

"Then wait, this guy is always elusive." Liu Fuji thought for a while and asked, "By the way, why did that Miao girl get off the boat in Wuchang without permission?" ”

"Hey, it's not for that Yang Qiu, Mr. Song said that she wants to avenge Wang Tianjie, so she is afraid that she will cause trouble for us, so she is a little anxious."

"That guy is damn it too." Thinking of the Manchu "big heroes" who have been rumored all over the past few days, Liu Fuji also gritted his teeth.

"It's damned, but not now." Liu Fuji understood what Sun Wu meant, and the big thing must not be extraneous when it was imminent, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I told him to pay attention after I saw Bo Kui ()." ”

Hearing that Liu Fuji agreed, Sun Wu could only nod, and when he saw the map on the table, he turned to business and asked, "What, is there any problem?" Liu Fuji nodded and did not hide it, pointed to the map and said: "I don't know what happened today, the two battalions of the 42nd standard that were originally stationed in Yichang and Hankou have all returned to Hanyang, and they are replaced by the 15th and 30th standard of the Eight Towns. ”

"30 bids, it's Yang Kaijia!"

Sun Wu was also taken aback, Yang Kaijia was a well-known stereotypical and stubborn person in the new army, with many soldiers and extremely ruthless actions, and he was one of the few ruthless characters in the Eight Towns.

Originally, he was stationed in Yichang, and he was not very harmful to himself who was active in the three towns, but he didn't expect to be suddenly arranged to come to Hanyang, could it be that the comrade was exposed? Rui Cheng and Zhang Biao are going to poison Hankou?

Sun Wu's heart shrank, although Wuchang was the main base of their activities, but Hankou was a key place for the exchange of money and weapons, because there was a foreign concession to shelter, but if it was strangled here, it would be equivalent to losing the foundation!

Liu Fuji also said with a solemn face: "Except for the sudden change of guard on the Hankou side, I am still not at ease on the Chuwangtai side, we have already installed a lot of comrades there before, but now we have suddenly transferred Yang Qiu's comrade Xiao Anguo there, do you say that Zhang Biao's old dog will smell anything?" ”

Sun Wu was also secretly a little anxious, whether it was Hankou or Chuwangtai was a must-win place, according to his plan, as long as he could control these two places, even if Wuchang failed with money and guns, he could also hold the fruits of victory according to the Yangtze River, and then wait for the good news from other places, and finally recover the Han Dynasty. Unexpectedly, these two places were threatened now, and they came so suddenly, which caught him off guard when he was preparing to do something.

Could this be because Yang Qiu served as the 42 standard commander, which led to this series of changes? Sun Wu glanced at Hanyang, which was across the river from Hankou, and suddenly felt that this Yang Qiu seemed to have the possibility of becoming a-stirring stick.

Could it be that this inconspicuous baggage soldier who suddenly appeared has really become his nemesis? !
