Chapter 14: Good News and Bad News

Seeing that Yang Xiaolin didn't speak, Sun Wen gently patted Yang Xiaolin's shoulder: "Xiaolin, do you know that the British are encircling and suppressing you in a quasi-battle?" ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded: "I know, so I won't give you the troops." ”

Sun Wen is still looking at him, it can be said that from the beginning of the cooperation between the two of them to the present, it has always been Sun Wen who is giving in! Especially after the guns of the revolution were fired, in exchange for sending troops to the northeast, he repeatedly promised Yang Xiaolin, until now he gave up the idea of the Federation!

But even if he gave up the Federation, Yang Xiaolin had no intention of cooperating at all.

"You're always like this? Is there no other option but to fight? Can you think about it for our nation, and for the people of Northeast China? Don't let them go through the war! You hand over the troops to me, first of all, I can contain Yuan Shikai and force him to establish a democratic system now. The second is that as long as you hand over your troops, the Northeast can avoid this war! The volunteers responded to the revolution, and I went to negotiate with the foreigners! ”

Yang Xiaolin's face became gloomy, what Sun Wen said was very righteous, for the sake of the Northeast to avoid war, and for the Chinese nation to turn this corner smoothly, but it sounded a little awkward to him.

Sun Wen continued: "Don't worry! I'm not going to let you really disappear like Sa Daoyi said! After the establishment of New China, once we have obtained the recognition of shijie, we can be independent, we don't have to look at the faces of foreigners, what do you want! ”

Yang Xiaolin finally determined in his heart that it was wrong for him to come to see Sun Wen this time, maybe Sun Wen was right, maybe he insisted on taking that tough line to face a war that could destroy the entire Northeast. But he couldn't reach a consensus with Sun Wen, they were two kinds of people at all, and they considered the problem from a completely different angle!

He finally raised his eyes: "Mr. Sun Wen, there is no room for negotiation in this matter, let's stop for today's conversation, you can choose to stand by and watch when the British start the war." I won't say anything, I understand your situation. I'm like that, whoever comes to hit me will meet me! ”

Zou Rong's face was already very ugly at this time, and Sun Wenwen just came to him and said that he wanted to discuss with Yang Xiaolin how to deal with the negotiations, and said that there was a plan that could deal with the British and he wanted to discuss it with them.

As for the specific situation, he did not explain it in detail to Zou Rong. If Sun Wen had told Zou Rong in advance that his plan was to let Yang fight ghosts and hand over the army to Sun Wen, Zou Rong would not have been able to pull Yang Xiaolin over. If Yang Xiaolin could agree to this condition, he would not be the Commander Yang he knew.

Yang Xiaolin's appearance was obviously restraining a kind of anger, Sun Wen seemed to be a little fluctuating, and took a deep breath: "Xiaolin, I hope you will think about it seriously." ”

Yang Xiaolin stood up from his chair. glanced at Sun Wen, didn't say anything, turned around and walked outside.

Zou Rong felt that it was a little impolite to go like this, even if the two sides did not negotiate well, and they were not enemies in their previous lives, there was no need to say goodbye without saying goodbye like this. Just as he was about to say a polite word to Sun Wen, the young man standing behind Sun Wen suddenly spoke: "Yang beats ghosts!" What is your attitude? ”

Yang Xiaolin's figure suddenly changed, and he slowly turned his head to look at the young man, and the kid continued: "Mr. Sun Wen came to discuss with you because he looked at you!" Just that attitude you have towards the revolution. What else would you like to give you another chance? ”

Sun Wen immediately stopped the young man: "Shut up! Don't talk nonsense! ”

Looking at Sun Wen's appearance, he knew that he must be very worried that Yang Dagui would suddenly move his fists at this time. But unexpectedly, Yang Xiaolin just smiled slightly, and then asked in a very peaceful voice, "Young man, what's your name?" ”

"My name is Jiang Zhiqing!"

Yang Xiaolin smiled very happily. nodded: "Jiang Zhiqing, right?" Good, very good. ”

After saying hello twice, Yang Xiaolin turned around again, and this time he really left the room. I didn't look back.

Sun Wen saw that Yang Xiaolin didn't make a move, and the tension in his heart was not alleviated in the slightest. Jiang Zhiqing came with Chen Qimei, and Sun Wen saw that this young man was good, so he asked him to stay by his side and help him deal with some simple things. In Sun Wen's eyes, this is a young and promising hot-blooded young man. It's just a little too young, a bit of a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

You must know that Yang Xiaolin is now a veritable king of the Northeast, even if this is Beijing, he has 10,000 ways to engage this kid! If he had just given a slap, it would have been easier. turned around and left without saying anything, which really made Sun Wen feel uneasy: "Zhiqing, try not to go out these days, be careful." ”

Jiang Zhiqing was still quite unconvinced: "Mr. Sun Wen, don't worry, I'm still afraid that he won't beat me?" When I was fighting in Shanghai, I didn't pay attention to six or seven people with knives! ”

Yang Xiaolin won't beat him, Yang Jiang has already passed the age of practicing with others at every turn, and Commander Yang really looks at this young man a little familiar, and the name seems to have been heard somewhere, so he can't remember it. I guess he was also a revolutionary father later, right?

He and Zou Rong walked out of Sun Wen's room side by side, and Mr. Sun did not come out to see them off. After leaving the door, Yang Xiaolin pulled his clothes, took a breath, made his mood a little more comfortable, and turned his head to look at Zou Rong, who was silent on the side, this brother was obviously still immersed in a very complex contradiction.

He smiled: "Forget it, don't arrange for me to talk to Sun Wen next time, I can't talk to him." I feel that what he said also makes sense, but I can't help it, it's awkward to listen to my ears. ”

Zou Rong was also very helpless, a little embarrassed: "Yixian is like this, commander, I really don't know what he said Jihua is to make you give up the volunteers, if I had known, I would have rejected him for you." ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled: "My brother doesn't need to explain. Don't think about it anymore, the negotiations will start tomorrow, you put all your mind on this, and help the Lady do some work. Seriously, if it can be negotiated, it will be a good thing. You can rest assured here, this time I came to Beijing to endure and not make trouble. ”

Zou Rong nodded: "It's best if the commander can think like this." You go back and rest for a while, Yuan Shikai will hold a drinking party in the evening, we have to go for a while, your face is not very good, it is better to wash your face. ”

Yang Xiaolin slapped his face a few times with his hand. laughed at himself: "I was angry with Sun Wen." I'll tell you what his biggest problem is, he always thinks the same as him, I can't stand this the most! ”

Zou Rong sighed.

Lao Yuan's cocktail party was to celebrate the beginning of the peace talks, so even though Yang Xiaolin didn't like such an occasion, he had to attend, at least go to the scene, so that others would know that Commander Yang was coming. The reception was very lively, ministers from all over the world came, and people with heads and faces in Beijing also tried to participate in this banquet.

In the evening, Yang Xiaolin, Zou Rong and Liang Qichao came to attend this cocktail party, and Yang Du had to prepare for tomorrow's negotiations. It's already rested. And Kong Landing has to look at the telegraph, and this Manchu landing talent doesn't like the tone of foreigners very much.

The band was playing on the stage when they came in, and more people were dancing on the dance floor. When Yang Xiaolin walked to the door, he saw Sun Wen's figure, Mr. Sun Wen was standing in a very conspicuous position talking and laughing with a group of foreigners, as if his refusal in the afternoon did not bring him the slightest unhappiness.

Sun Wen also saw Yang Xiaolin, he didn't come over, just raised his wine glass and smiled at Yang Xiaolin from a distance, which was regarded as a hello. Yang Xiaolin also waved at him, and then walked to an empty table next to him.

Yuan Zhongzhen obviously came early. There are very few entertainment items in this era, and for a little girl of her age, a drinking party is definitely a good place to vent her excess energy. After Yang Xiaolin walked in, she jumped up from the side: "Uncle, may I ask you to dance?" ”

Yang Xiaolin was very embarrassed: "Uncle won't." ”

The little girl was obviously very disappointed. As soon as he turned around, he ran away: "It's really boring." ”

Yang Xiaolin really wouldn't, he turned his head and said to Zou Rong and Liang Qichao who were following him: "You two play your own games, I'll just sit here and drink two cups, you don't have to accompany me." ”

Most of those people brought by Sun Wen had a good relationship with Zou Rong. The poor development of relations between the Northeast and the South does not affect their private feelings. Yang Xiaolin had already seen Chen Qimei on the side, waving at Zou Rong and constantly signaling Zou Rong to go over and chat.

Hearing Yang Xiaolin say this, Zou Rong's ass didn't sit on the bench, and immediately pointed his hand over there: "Then commander, you are drinking here." I'll just come over and take a look. ”

Not long after sitting down, Liang Qichao was also pulled away.

Yang Xiaolin sat down by himself and opened a bottle of wine and drank it slowly, and the foreigners next to him didn't come to pay attention to him, and after drinking a few glasses alone, he felt very bored. Seeing Sun Wen on the side mingling with those people, he was a little stimulated.

He couldn't sit still and was about to go out to take a breath, but a waiter walked up to him: "Commander Yang, is it?" There is a gentleman waiting for you in the restroom, so please come by immediately. ”

After the waiter finished speaking, he left, but Yang Xiaolin was very stunned, others were looking for Sun Wen at the cocktail party, why did someone go to the toilet when they looked for themselves? He decided to see who was so creative.

After entering the toilet, he closed the door with his backhand, plugged in the latch, and pushed the doors open one by one. When I knocked down the innermost door, I couldn't push it, and there was obviously someone inside.

Yang Xiaolin tapped lightly: "Okay, okay?" ”

An impure Chinese dialect came from inside: "Beast, you wait outside for a while." ”

Foreigner? Yang Xiaolin was stunned for a moment, didn't knock again, lit a cigarette and stood at the window waiting. A minute later there was the sound of the toilet draining water, and then the door was opened.

Minister Mu Mo walked out of it with a cigar in his mouth, ignoring Yang Xiaolin's eyes when he looked at him, and walked to the edge of the pool to put water and wash his hands: "A good news or a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled: "Let's talk about haode first." ”

Mumo's hand shook twice: "The good news is that the attitude of the international community towards this Chinese revolution cannot be unified, the Russians are not willing to follow the British in action, they have a separate jihua is preparing to carry it out." How about the news? ”

Yang Xiaolin leaned against the toilet door, and his body resisted to prevent people from outside from suddenly coming in: "It's not bad, but what about the bad news?" ”

Mu Moomer's face was always in front of the mirror, first straightening out the strands of his messy hair, and then said: "The bad news is that although the Russians and the British have different steps, they both have the same purpose, they want to kill you." (To be continued......)
