"Closed...... Disciple? Chang Ruiqing listened to his wife's words, was slightly stunned, and muttered: "He is a railway worker, and he is not a martial arts master, what kind of disciples do you accept?" ”

Wang Ruonan was amused by his words, and smiled at his husband with a pair of big talking eyes: "What does it have to do with accepting disciples and martial arts masters?" The old lady is a big character of the Green Gang, and I don't know how many famous people want to worship under his old man's door! ”

Chang Ruiqing snorted lightly and said coldly: "Don't you all want to slap me as the commander-in-chief?" He, a big member of the Green Gang, has been a big character for decades, and he hasn't received any good apprentices in the past...... By the way, what kind of character is it this time? Is it a dance hall or a casino? If he sells opium, he can't take it! ”

(Note No. 241, at present, the National Government has not yet begun to ban gambling and prostitution, but opium has already begun to be banned.) ）

Wang Ruonan frowned and sighed softly: "No, this time I accepted a female apprentice, named Bai Peony, who is said to be a dart walker with good martial arts." But he still lost a very important dart, so he asked someone to ask the old man to come forward to solve it, and they ...... this back and forth."

Chang Ruiqing waved his hand and interrupted Wang Ruonan: "Needless to say, I know everything, a female disciple who walks darts must be very beautiful...... Well, it's better than those bad guys, who made me this daddy, let him go. ”

When Wang Ruonan heard this, he flattened his mouth slightly, and said in his heart: "You are not the same!" Indeed, there is a father, and there must be a son......"

Just when Chang Ruiqing and Wang Ruonan took a car to Changfu in Balitun, outside the city. In a teahouse in Xiguan, Xuzhou, the old man who was about to worship Chang Lao was an old man. Bai Peony, who has become a female disciple of the Qinggang Tongzi generation (and Huang Jinrong's generation), is looking at the tea in front of her in a daze boredly. Her plan to break into the interior of Changfu was much smoother than she imagined, and Chang Hu (Chang Lao's tuba) did not force her to assassinate Chang as his aunt's wife in the 241st, but accepted her as a closed disciple. Theoretically, she can be commensurate with Chang Ruiqing's brothers and sisters. This identity is easier to get closer to Chang Ruiqing than Chang Laohu's aunt's wife! However, getting close to Chang Ruiqing means that his death is approaching......

Although she should have put life and death out of the way a long time ago, the rapid decision of the Great War between the North and the South for a while gave her a glimmer of hope for life...... Although she is a woman who does not have much culture, she is not a fool, and she doesn't believe that the mastermind behind her is Prince Gong at all. If you want to take Chang Ruiqing's life now, can there be anyone else after the Beiyang warlord? Now that the Beiyang warlords have been defeated, they may abandon their pointless plan to assassinate Chang, right? Won't you be able to survive so far? And with the identity of Chang Laohu's disciple. Can you still live a happier life?

But just when she saw some hope for life, "Father-in-law Zhao", who had not been in contact with her for a long time, suddenly sent someone to give her a whistle message, asking her to come here to meet!

There was a sudden bustle in the teahouse, and I saw a man wearing a long shirt. A middle-aged man with a folding fan marched forward with a few entourage. This person is probably also the number one person on the ground in Xuzhou, and when he came in, the whole house got up to greet him.

"Li Sanye, but I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you been these days. Come, come, sit on our seats...... Serve tea to the third master! ”

This Li Sanye is a relative of Li Houji's cousin and nephew who was murdered by Chang Ruiqing, and he is also the number one person in Xuzhou (Li Houji is from Xuzhou). But after all, he was on the Beiyang side, and now the National Revolutionary Army has come over. Of course, he has to be a little more restrained, and he is closed these days. Fortunately, Chang Ruiqing didn't remember what he had with Li Houji for a long time. He didn't send anyone to trouble him.

This Li Sanye just arched his hand at the full house, and went straight to the elegant seat on the second floor without speaking. White Peony also threw two copper dollars on the table. And he followed. She didn't recognize Li Sanye, but at a glance she recognized the "Zhao Gonggong" who asked her out in Li Sanye's entourage!

"Gonggong Zhao" obviously also discovered the white peony, and the entourage of the Li Mansion outside the gate of the elegant seat should have received his orders, and no one stopped the white peony. When she walked into the private seat, she saw Zhao Gonggong sitting there alone, holding a tea bowl and taking small sips.

"White Woman, sit down." The fake eunuch pinched his throat and whispered.

Bai Peony smiled bitterly, found a chair and sat down: "Father-in-law Zhao, how are everyone in my family?" They didn't fall into the hands of the Northern Expeditionary Army, did they? ”

Zhao Gonggong smiled: "Where can I be, our prince has spent money to redeem them from the prison in Henan, and now they are in Beijing!" With that, he took out a picture from his pocket and handed it over.

Bai Peony took the photo and saw that it was her family, and the location where the photo was taken seemed to be a courtyard house, which was obviously in the style of Beijing. Seeing that her family was "safe", she arched her hand towards Zhao Gonggong, wanting to say something, but she didn't know how to speak.

Gonggong Zhao raised a hand and said with a smile: "You thank me, this is all in exchange for your life...... Our prince already knows that you have entered the Changfu and have the opportunity to start, so I am very happy, and I hope to hear the good news that the heroine has been completed as soon as possible! ”

Hearing this, Bai Peony smiled bitterly and said, "What is the great success, I'm afraid it's going to make people cut a thousand knives, right?" She raised her eyes and swept down Zhao's father-in-law, and when she saw that the other party's face sank, she hurriedly changed her words: "The day after tomorrow is Chang Ruiqing's father Chang Hu's forty-fifth birthday, and it is also the day when I officially worship Chang Hu...... I'm going to do it that day!" ”

Gonggong Zhao finally showed a satisfied smile on his face, and Lu Jianzhang had already sent a few telegrams written in code language to urge, asking him to try his best to make Bai Peony assassinate before March 20th! If by March 20, Bai Peony has not yet started, then he will immediately evacuate Xuzhou to Tianjin to meet Lu Jianzhang, and then go to Japan together to avoid the limelight...... Now that Bai Peony promised to do it immediately, then he could naturally leave the Longtan Tiger's Den in Xuzhou earlier. As for Bai Peony's family, with his understanding of Lu Jianzhang. Most of them are going to be killed! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the female assassin in front of him.

He sighed softly, took out a small cardboard box from his pocket, and placed it in front of Bai Peony. He said in a low voice: "White Woman, this is a secret poison in the palace, it is sealed with wax, you can hold it in your mouth in advance, in case you miss and are caught, use it to cut yourself, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin...... Oh, and the stabbing guys. I've got you ready, too. ”

As he spoke, he slapped his slap three times. The third master Li who had just disappeared held a box and put it in front of Gonggong Zhao, and then withdrew directly without speaking. Zhao Gonggong opened the box, and inside was a small Browning pistol and three bullets with a green glow. Apparently smeared with poison...... On March 10, at the entrance of Balitun, a big Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Xuzhou, a colorful memorial arch for birthday celebrations has been set up with lanterns. On the left side of the Changfu in the center of the tunzi, there were all kinds of carriages, automobiles, and guards carrying shell guns walking back and forth. The residents in the tunzi crowded at the gate of Changfu and watched inside, not knowing whether they wanted to see the birthday boy Chang Laohu, or they wanted to see the commander-in-chief Chang who commanded hundreds of thousands of Northern Expeditionary troops from Fujian and Guangdong! This Tunzi, which has always been inhabited by the Changwang and Wang clans, was originally an ordinary Zhuangzi near Xuzhou, and now there is actually a commander-in-chief. A provincial chairman, and many children of the Changwang and Wang clans have mixed up in the National Revolutionary Army. Seeing it, it is about to prosper.

Inside Tunzi, there are two people with the surname Chang Wang. They all received invitations to participate in Master Chang's birthday banquet, and most of them changed into brand new clothes and squeezed into the Changfu compound. The banquet has not yet started, but a stage has been set up in the courtyard, and the famous corners of Xuzhou City have invited a lot, all babbling and singing all kinds of birthday excerpts on the stage.

In addition to the relatives and friends of the Chang family, the most invited guests at Chang Laohu's birthday banquet are the Qinggang figures in Jiangsu Province! There were more than a dozen big-character Green Gang bosses alone, and Huang Jinrong, the leader of the Shanghai Green Gang, also personally brought a generous gift to Xuzhou to pay homage to Chang Laohu's birthday. Most of these Qinggang characters are concentrated in the Changfu Hall, don't look at them all as characters on the rivers and lakes, but now they are all wearing long robes, holding folding fans, and they are also deliberately chewing words when they meet and talk, which is a bit of a robber pretending to be a scholar.

But at this time, there were no officers of the National Revolutionary Army and officials of the National Government in Changfu, and Chang Ruiqing had already issued an order to prohibit his subordinate civil and military officials from congratulating his father on his birthday.

Chang Ruiyuan stood at the door of the room, wearing a brand-new colonel's uniform, smiling and nodding with the visitors. The old birthday star Chang Lao Hu and our Commander-in-Chief Chang have not yet appeared, and their father and son are drinking tea and chatting with Chang Wang's family, Wang Ruonan, and a few of Chang Laohu's closest apprentices.

"Peony, come here." Chang Laohu chatted with his son for a few words, and suddenly beckoned to Bai Peony, who was standing in the corner of the room wearing a white embroidered silk cheongsam, and asked her to take a few steps forward to speak. He pointed to Bai Peony and said to his son: "Yaoru, this is my closed disciple, named Bai Peony, the family has been walking darts for generations, and he has practiced a good kung fu since he was a child, and three or five men who are idle can't get close!" It's no worse than Zhen Xiaoru next to you, so I want her to follow you...... After all, she is her own person, and she can rest assured that if you look at her, she will be pleasing to the eye, and she will be able to accept the house! ”

Hearing his father's words, Chang Ruiqing was stunned, and said in his heart: "It turns out that this old man's new female apprentice is not to play with teacher-student love, but to play with me, uh, it's for me, it's ......used" He raised his eyes and looked at the white peony, his appearance was not stunning, it was far worse than Wang Ruonan, but his figure was quite good, and there was a sad temperament in the middle of his eyebrows, what was going on?

At this time, Bai Peony was also stunned by Chang Laohu's words, it turned out that she thought that Chang Laohu had some bad intentions towards her, but she didn't expect the other party to "give" herself to his son Chang Ruiqing! She couldn't help but take a closer look at our handsome Chang Da guy. At this glance, I realized that the other party was such a handsome and masculine man! He is also the commander of hundreds of thousands of Northern Expeditionary Army, if he can enter his house, it will be a beautiful thing...... This female assassin actually forgot her identity and mission for a while, and stood in front of Chang Ruiqing.

And Chang Ruiqing's mother Chang Wang's face, as well as his official wife Wang Ruonan's face darkened, and Chang Wang's also cast a blaming look at her husband. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little awkward. At this moment, the sound of a roll call suddenly sounded outside.

"General Lu, Chairman of the Zhejiang Provincial Government and Commander of Security, has arrived!"

Chang Laohu's in-law Lu Yongxiang actually came from Hangzhou to congratulate Chang Laohu on his birthday. For Lu Yongxiang, of course, the father and son of the Chang family did not dare to slack off, and they all stood up and walked outside the door of the inner hall. Be prepared to greet you at the second gate in person. At this moment, Bai Peony also woke up from his unrealistic fantasies, showed a desperate look, lifted his cheongsam, and saw a black holster tied to his snow-white thigh! Immediately afterwards, Wang Ruonan was heard screaming.

"Assassin! There are Assassins ......"

It turned out that at this time, Chang Ruiqing's father and son had already walked to the door of the inner hall, but Wang Ruonan hadn't taken a few steps out because he had to support Chang Ruiqing's fat mother. It happened to be diagonally opposite Bai Peony, and her big eyes were still staring at her freshly baked rival, so she saw the other party's action of pulling out her gun, and she also let out a warning scream in time.

At this time, Bai Peony already knew that because of his momentary loss just now. She lost her best chance to assassinate. Chang Ruiqing was sitting on a chair before, and it was difficult to dodge even if he saw himself pulling out a gun and shooting, but now he was about to walk out of the door, and there were Chang Laohu and a few Qinggang disciples by his side. But at this moment, she has no more choice, only to go out and make a last stand! She also ignored Wang Ruonan, who was screaming. Turning around sharply, he raised his pistol and pulled the trigger on the tall back of a soldier in khaki tweed at the door!

But at the moment when the firing pin hit the primer of the bullet, the tall back suddenly fell to the ground regardless of decency! White Peony's first shot was missed, just as she was ready for the second shot. Wang Ruonan, who was still screaming just now, actually pounced! I don't know where this Mrs. Chang got the strength, but she knocked the white peony who had been practicing martial arts since childhood to the ground. However, Wang Ruonan's extraordinary performance ended here. Bai Peony lifted her arm and knocked her unconscious with an elbow blow. But when Bai Peony turned around and wanted to look for Chang Ruiqing in the chaotic crowd, the other party was already gone. A few guards in khaki uniforms rushed in with shell guns!

Bai Peony knew that her assassination had failed, she smiled dismally, turned the muzzle of the pistol to her heart and pulled the trigger! Hearing only a thud, Bai Peony felt as if something had slammed her chest, and then there was a sharp pain.

"Catch her! Catch it alive! ”

Bai Peony closed his eyes and waited for death, and dimly heard someone give an order that was too late, and then he felt that his arms and thighs were tightly twisted by several extremely powerful palms...... But so what? They will die soon, can they still drag themselves back from the hands of Lord Yama?

Then Bai Peony felt that someone was tearing the clothes on his chest again! She said in her heart: "It's true, if you die, you still let people eat tofu!" Then she heard someone shouting, "This girl has been shot in the chest, but the injury is not serious...... Is it an empty cartridge? It's actually an empty cartridge? What's going on? ”

What does empty packing mean? Before Bai Peony could figure it out, he found that his chin was suddenly pinched hard! Then the mouth was pried open, and a dirty, big hand reached in and dug out the wax-sealed poison! Then she noticed that someone was tying her hands and feet.

At this time, Bai Peony also found that something was not quite right! It turned out that the bullet that Zhao Gonggong gave himself was manipulated, and his suicide was unsuccessful, and it fell into the hands of Chang Ruiqing! It seems that there is no escaping the pain of flesh and skin.

Thinking of this, she opened her eyes and saw Chang Ruiqing hugging his wife Wang Ruonan, and touching a big bag on Wang Ruonan's head with her big hand. There was also a young officer who was about the same height as Chang Ruiqing with the Browning pistol she had thrown away, fiddled with it for a while, and then reported loudly: "Headmaster, there is no problem with the gun, it should be that the bullet has moved its hands and feet." ”

Chang Ruiqing also found that Bai Peony had woken up at this time, raised his hand and pointed at her, and said coldly: "Bai Peony, who instructed you to stab?" Honestly, I could consider sparing your life! ”

Bai Peony burst out laughing and said to Chang Ruiqing: "Commander Chang, are you a three-year-old child?" If I dared to do this, I didn't want to live! Now that it's in your hands, if there's anything ruthless, come to the old lady! ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled and waved his hand at several of his guards: "Escort her to the cell of the military police department of the headquarters and lock her up." Then he sent a telegram to the Military Affairs Bureau to Xuzhou, and they were responsible for interrogating Bai Peony. As he spoke, he glanced at the female assassin who looked indifferent, and smiled: "White Peony, I guess as soon as the news of my assassination spreads, this person who gave you empty bullets will soon come to ask for credit, right?" It's not clear who is behind the scenes? Why do you suffer in vain with your flesh and skin? ”

Bai Peony frowned, at this moment she already remembered the third master Li who prepared pistol bullets for herself! But he can betray the mastermind behind the scenes, but he can't do that, otherwise his family's lives will definitely be in danger. Thinking about this, she had no choice but to make a difference, gritted her teeth and smiled: "The old lady just wants to understand the power of the Military Intelligence Bureau!" If you have any tricks, just come on! (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )rv！！！
