"Counselor He, do you have something to do with me?" Ma Buzhou's voice came from inside the house. Free eBook Download //

"Well, you come out for a moment, I'll tell you something."

The room hesitated for a moment before replying: "Staff Officer He, these three watches in the middle of the night, what will you say tomorrow!" ”

He Sui was a little impatient, frowned and said: "The military situation is urgent, and there is no room for delay!" What are you doing in the house, you don't even have time to say a word? ”

After more than a minute, Ma Buzhou cautiously opened the door and looked left and right for a moment. In He Sui's urging, he came to the front yard with a pickle in his hand, shrunk his head and head, and asked through the courtyard door: "Staff Officer He, what is the matter?" Go ahead! ”

He Sui did not answer, but asked, "What are you doing?" Why didn't it come out until now? ”

Ma Buzhou laughed a few times: "I haven't played cards for a long time, and my hands are itchy." While it's okay tonight, I just happened to have a little game with my brother. ”

"Then why don't you open the door?"

Ma Buzhou said abruptly: "You also know that the younger brother has always been more lucky, and he always loses money, thanks to the help of the commander, he paid off his gambling debts." However, the commander repeatedly warned the younger brother that he was not allowed to gamble in the barracks. I heard Brother He call the door, and I thought that the commander had sent someone to catch the gambling, and my soul was almost scared away, how dare I come and open the door? ”

He Sui also knew that Ma Buzhou was addicted to gambling, and he did not doubt it at the moment, but persuaded him: "Brother Huitian, now that the military situation is urgent, don't keep thinking about playing cards, the safety of the commander is important." I've heard that Zhou Fulin has recently appeared in Zhengding City. Ever since he was dismissed, he had hated the commander to the core, and this sudden appearance must have been a night owl entering the house—nothing to do. You must always be on the lookout, strengthen the guards, and ensure the personal safety of the commander! Don't forget, who promoted you from a recruit to a cavalry battalion commander (i.e., battalion commander) and captain of the guards? And who helps you pay off your gambling debts every month? You have to know how to repay the favor! And now is the best time for you to repay the favor. ”

Ma Buzhou, the word Huitian, Anhui people. In the thirty-third year of Guangxu (1907), he graduated from the Beiyang Accelerated School. Entered the Beiyang Army and worked under Wu Luzhen. In the past four years, from a new recruit to the position of cavalry battalion leader and captain of the guards, the speed of promotion is not fast.

As the saying goes, "There is no such thing as hate for no reason." There is no love for no reason. "Why did Wu Luzhen promote Ma Buzhou, a rotten gambler, and so quickly? There are also different opinions on this among the military camps, and the most convincing statement is that Wu Luzhen and Ma Buzhou are a bunch of good friends.

This can't be made out of nothing!

Although Wu Luzhen is thin and small, he likes to wander fireworks and willow lanes very much, and he was once called "North Wu and South Cai" with Cai Yi before and after the Republic of China, and is well-known in the north and south of the river. But General Wu is obviously better than Cai Songpo, because he is not taboo in meat and vegetables. Men and women can eat it. He didn't hide much about it, so it was spread ten, ten and hundred, and in just a few years, General Wu's short-sleeved peach habit became a well-known secret.

And the other rumored actor, Ma Buzhou, has red lips and white teeth, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and looks small. When such two people are together, it is easy to have scandals. However, Wu Luzhen also paid off Ma Buzhou's gambling debts every now and then. Promote him to an official position. If you are promoted, you will be promoted, or you will be the captain of the personal guard, how can this not make people think? So Wu Luzhen and Ma Buzhou are engaged in the matter of the base. In the sixth town, it is said that there is a nose and an eye.

Wu Luzhen is the commander of the sixth town, and he is good at this, so naturally he will not come out to confirm or refute the rumors to his subordinates. Ma Buzhou wants to say that he is innocent, but who believes it? Not only do you not believe it, but you will think that you are trying to cover it up. Besides, there is no way to prove this, it will only get darker and darker. With both sides silent, the rumors became even more rampant. Now in the sixth town, as long as the rabbit master is mentioned, everyone will smile, and they will understand who he is talking about.

Although Ma Buzhou couldn't say anything about it. but in his heart he was full of resentment. Now when he heard He Sui mention this, he suppressed his anger and replied coldly: "Staff Officer He can rest assured, Ma will naturally repay the commander's great kindness!" Is there anything else you can do? ”

"The commander has an order, and a meeting of all officers above the battalion level will be held at the headquarters at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and no one shall be absent. You remember to attend on time! "Ma Buzhou is not only the captain of the Command Guard. It is still a cavalry battalion pipe band, which belongs to the scope of participants, so He Sui informed him by the way.

Ma Buzhou's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock to hold a meeting of all officers above the battalion level?" What big move does the commander have to make? ”

He Sui thought that Ma Buzhou was Wu Luzhen's pillow person, so he didn't hide it from him: "Yes, the whole army will move north recently." You'll know when we meet tomorrow. He Sui still has a bunch of things, and after explaining these two things, he will leave and leave.

Ma Buzhou stayed in place for a moment before returning to the house. As soon as I entered the house, I heard someone ask in a low voice: "Pipe band, what is Staff Officer He looking for you to do?" ”

Ma Buzhou knew that it was his captain (that is, the company commander) Wu Yunzhang who was speaking, so he didn't answer and asked: "What, old Wu, are you afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid, my head is just a scar the size of a bowl! As long as I have silver, I am not afraid of anything, and I can kill the emperor! Although Wu Yunzhang tried his best to lower his voice, he could not hide his vulgar and fierce spirit.

"Just don't be afraid!" Ma Buzhou groped and sat down on the kang, "Light the lamp!" Rest assured, the surname He didn't find us. I have just come to inform me of two things, but they are both related to our plans: first, someone has already discovered the traces of Zhou Xietong in the city, and is preparing to strengthen the defense around Wu Luzhen; Second, a meeting will be held tomorrow morning to prepare for the whole army to go north in the near future. ”

At this time, someone struck a match and lit an oil lamp. If He Sui was present, he would definitely recognize these people, such as Xia Wenrong, the staff officer of the cavalry battalion, Wu Yunzhang, the captain, and Miao Delin, the platoon commander, all of whom were Ma Buzhou's confidants.

Xia Wenrong put down the snuffbox in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Pipe belt, once someone carefully searches for Zhou Xietong's behavior in Zhengding, they will definitely be able to find your head along the vine, and then the situation will not be good." Looking at it below, it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, why don't we do it tonight? Long nights and dreams! ”

"Tonight?" Ma Buzhou was startled, and immediately smiled: "It's okay or not, a long pain is better than a short pain." Lao Wu, Lao Miao, what do you think? ”

Wu Yunzhang said lazily: "I don't care, I can win at any time, the key is whether I can send some more silver before I start?" If my life is killed and the money is not in hand, won't it be a dog biting urine bubbles - empty joy? I heard that in order to accomplish this, Zhou Xietong gave 20,000 taels of silver to the pipe belt! ”

Miao Delin is relatively much more elegant: "Let the pipe belt command!" ”

"Okay! Isn't it just silver, how much do you want? As long as I can do this big thing, I will never treat my brother badly! Ma Buzhou patted his chest and said. In this way, five or six people first agreed on the assassination plan, and then carefully practiced the assassination attack in the house, and then dodged and sneaked into the backyard.

Perhaps He Sui's exhortation had an effect, and the defense outside the headquarters was obviously tighter than before. When they arrived here, Ma Buzhou and the others couldn't hide anymore, so they had to show up in their military uniforms and swagger towards the headquarters. When the night guard saw five or six people suddenly appear, he hurriedly pulled the bolt: "Who?" Hold it! Shoot if you don't stand still! ”

Ma Bu walked around and scolded: "Blind your dog's eyes, even I don't know you anymore?" ”

The guard asked tentatively, "Horse pipe belt?" ”

"Is it me, Commander?"

"In, in, in, you have something to do with him? The little ones will go in and inform you! Several guards carried their guns and gave Ma Buzhou and the others a thousand salutes in a panic.

Xia Wenrong on the side shouted: "! The horse pipe brought me to the commander, and I want you to report it? ”

The guards also seemed to know the rumors that Wu Luzhen and Ma Buzhou had broken their backs, smiled knowingly, and slapped themselves lightly: "Look at the little one's stupid mouth!" Horse pipe belt please. ”

Ma Buzhou didn't care about talking to the guards, so he raised his legs and walked into the courtyard, and Xia Wenrong, Wu Yunzhang, Miao Delin and others also followed closely. The guards felt that something was wrong: Ma Guan brought in to make a foundation with Commander Wu, what are you guys going to do after you? Ready to watch or punish? Thinking of this, he hurriedly stopped Xia Wenrong, Wu Yunzhang and others: "Hey——, you can't go in!" ”

Wu Yunzhang took out a masquerade from his body and pressed it against the guard's head: "Lao Tzu is the captain of the cavalry battalion, assisting in the inspection of the defense with the pipe, why can't you go in?" No more nonsense, Lao Tzu collapsed you! ”

The guards were a little panicked and hurriedly explained: "The commander has just ordered that from tonight, ordinary people will not be allowed to enter. ”

Wu Yunzhang's masturbation stepped forward again: "Lao Tzu is the captain of the cavalry battalion, is he an ordinary person?" ”

……

This adventure for the whole army to go north is a desperate gamble, and it is related to the life and death of the seven or eight thousand brothers in the sixth town. Until two o'clock in the evening, he was still at the headquarters to consider whether the plan was feasible. When he heard that there was a commotion outside the hospital, he raised his voice and asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”

Ma Buzhou hurriedly replied: "Commander, it's me!" There was a minor dispute between my retinue and the guards, but it was nothing serious. ”

Wu Luzhen has always regarded Ma Buzhou as a henchman among his henchmen, and he didn't think much about it, so he casually ordered: "Let them in!" ”

The commander had already spoken, and the guards did not dare to stop it anymore, so they could only let Xia Wenrong and others enter.

When he arrived at the headquarters, Ma Buzhou was not polite, he pushed the door directly, and saw Wu Luzhen lying on the desk studying the map, and when he heard the door ringing, he raised his head and asked: "Huitian, what is the matter with coming to me in the middle of the night?" ”

Ma Buzhou said while beating a thousand: "I heard from Staff Officer He that the whole army will move north in the near future?" When he got up, he took out a handful of pickers from his boots and shot Wu Luzhen several times.

Wu Luzhen was shot but did not fall for a while, her hands were propped up on the case, her eyes were staring at Ma Buzhou, her face was full of shock and puzzlement. When I want to speak, I can't make a sound, and I can only "ho-ho" in my throat.

Xia Wenrong, Wu Yunzhang, and Miao Delin also rushed in, and when they saw this, they all opened fire, and immediately smashed Wu Luzhen's body into a mess, and blood splattered everywhere, staining the snow-white walls with spots.

Seeing that Wu Luzhen was so dead that he couldn't die anymore, Xia Wenrong pulled Ma Buzhou, who was in a daze: "Pipe belt, the big thing has been accomplished, withdraw quickly!" ”

Ma Buzhou shook off Xia Wenrong violently, took out a dagger from his waist, and quickly stepped forward to cut off Wu Luzhen's head, and there were words in his mouth: "Don't you want Lao Tzu's ass?" Lao Tzu asked for your head! (To be continued.) )
