Chapter 36: Assassins and Strategists
Qin Zhiyong and Yang Yuqian chatted for a lot of time. When he came out of the Henan Hall, it was already late at night.
In the dead of night, walking on the street is particularly secluded.
From time to time, from a distance, there were a few dog barks, and the sound of a husband beating a watchman.
Shout.
A dark shadow flashed from ahead.
Qin Zhiyong's physical fitness has been improved in all aspects, and his senses of vision, hearing, and smell have all been enhanced. Qin Zhiyong saw clearly that it was a person in a night suit who walked through the street. This person is extremely fast and moves quickly.
"It's really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the capital. In addition to himself, Duanwang, and Chen Zhengying, I didn't expect there to be a grandmaster-level martial artist. Qin Zhiyong said secretly in his heart, "Follow up and take a look." What exactly does he want to do? β
Everyone has curiosity. Qin Zhiyong also has it. A Grandmaster lurks in the middle of the night, and things certainly won't be that simple. Qin Zhiyong felt that it was necessary for him to follow up and find out.
Tracking is a science.
Qin Zhiyong has not studied it. But according to his surroundings, coupled with his own speed, he had no problem tracking this mysterious martial arts master at all.
Martial arts masters, although they can't fly on the wall, but the flexibility, bouncing, and balance of the body are much stronger than ordinary people. The surrounding street courtyard walls couldn't stop the Grandmaster's footsteps at all.
Qin Zhiyong frowned, and said secretly: "Huh? This person's target, could it be the Imperial Palace? β
The two of them went one after the other, and the direction they went was the palace.
Infiltrating the palace has two purposes. Either stealing; Or stab.
The martial arts master is not as popular as the Wen champion, but to be a martial arts champion, you can also get a military attachΓ©. There is no need to steal. A person who can become a martial arts master, as long as he is not willing to be bland, can definitely make a fortune.
is like Chen Zhengying, if he is unwilling to farm in Chenjiagou, even if he does not become an official and joins the Cao Gang, no matter how bad he is, he can sit in the position of the hall master. Making money and making a fortune is not an easy task.
The closer you get to the palace, the more guards there are. In almost every alleyway, every once in a while, a team of soldiers patrols by. Fortunately, the two of them are agile, seeing all directions and listening to all directions. It is also possible to avoid patrolling soldiers with great danger.
However, if you continue to move forward, the higher the probability of being discovered. After all, the martial arts master is not an immortal, and he has no ability to go to heaven and earth. Qin Zhiyong didn't believe that in the entire palace, there was no master inside.
As long as there is movement and is discovered by the patrol soldiers, even if this group of soldiers can be defeated, more soldiers will come to surround it. Ouchi masters will also come one after another. If it really happened at that time, no matter how good the martial arts of the man in black and Qin Zhiyong were, they would be ten times more proficient, and they would be unable to escape.
When Qin Zhiyong passed the corner of the wall, the black shadow suddenly launched a sneak attack on Qin Zhiyong. It was the man in black who discovered Qin Zhiyong and planned to attack Qin Zhiyong at the corner of the wall.
The man in black was wearing a night suit, his face could not be seen clearly, and only a pair of eyes were outside. His offensive was swift and steady, like a tiger preying on it, without mercy. Obviously, he wanted to put Qin Zhiyong to death.
Even if an ordinary martial arts master faced such a swift sneak attack, he was afraid that he would hate him on the spot. Fortunately, Qin Zhiyong was in a good mood, he didn't panic, and he punched as fast as he could, and had a hard time with the man in black.
Boom.
Fists collided.
The two of them shook and stepped back at the same time. With each step back, the floor tiles under the feet of the two of them were stepped half an inch deep.
The man in black took three more steps back than Qin Zhiyong, and finally stood firm.
"What a power!" The man in black said in a hoarse voice.
"What pure palm power." Qin Zhiyong's eyes were solemn.
The skills of the man in black are profound, and he is half a step stronger than Duan Wang.
When fighting, Qin Zhiyong found that the black-clothed man had pure palm power and hidden needles in the cotton, which was obviously the essence of the inner fist. If it weren't for Qin Zhiyong's strong physical fitness and the supernatural Tai Chi, he would definitely suffer a dark loss just now.
"Who?"
Not far away, the shouting of patrol soldiers was heard.
The two of them fought just now, and the shot was condensed, with great force, and the dull sound that erupted aroused the vigilance of the patrol soldiers.
Qin Zhiyong and the man in black climbed towards the big tree not far away almost at the same time. Both are masters of boxing and are agile. Qin Zhiyong's movements were gentle, like a civet cat, without making the slightest sound. The black-clothed man was like a spirit marquis, his movements were sharp, and he also did not make a sound.
When the two of them reached the big tree, they hid, and the branches did not shake significantly. It can be seen that the two of them have quite attainmented in the control of power.
As soon as Qin Zhiyong and the man in black were hidden, the patrolling soldiers arrived.
"No one."
The whole alleyway was very quiet, and there was not a single person.
One of the soldiers went under the tree and stabbed the tree with his spear.
Suddenly.
"Meow."
A black cat jumps down from a tree.
The soldier laughed, "It's a cat." It's okay, it's okay. β
The soldiers took it for granted that if there were cats in the trees, then there could be no one to hide. Otherwise, the cat would have been scared away long ago.
Fortunately, the patrolling soldiers did not search carefully and found no footprints on the ground. Otherwise, Qin Zhiyong and the man in black would be in great trouble.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
With Qin Zhiyong here, the man in black knew that what he wanted to do tonight would definitely not be done.
The man in black got down from the tree and ran quickly towards the outer city.
Qin Zhiyong followed.
Far away from the palace, without soldiers patrolling, the man in black killed a horse pistol and shot at Qin Zhiyong again.
The boxing skills of the man in black are too slippery, the footwork is flexible and changeable, and the palm replaces the knife, and every attack is Qin Zhiyong's two ribs.
Qin Zhiyong used Tai Chi to defend calmly, so that the man in black returned in vain.
After ten strokes.
The man in black was like a frightened beast, and he retreated more than ten meters at once. Qin Zhiyong did not pursue, but looked at him calmly.
"Haha, I didn't expect Mr. Qin Zhiyong and Mr. Qin to be willing to be a lackey of the Manchu Dynasty." The black-clothed man's voice was still hoarse, "Mr. Qin, don't forget, you are Han." β
Qin Zhiyong asked, "Your Excellency knows Qin?" β
The man in black said: "The guest of Duanwangfu, the teacher of Yongning Gege, and the strong man of Taijiquan." Mr. Qin is well-known in the martial arts world in Beijing. As a martial arts practitioner, how can I not know the truth of Mr. Qin's name? β
Qin Zhiyong nodded slightly and said, "Your Excellency will visit the palace at night. If I'm not mistaken, you're planning to assassinate the Emperor. β
The man in black said coldly: "So what? If it weren't for you, the Manchu eagle dog, I might have taken off the head of the Dog Emperor at this moment. β
The man in black said again and again that Qin Zhiyong was an eagle dog. Qin Zhiyong was not angry at all.
Qin Zhiyong said: "Your Excellency is not small. Even the emperor dared to kill. I am not an eagle dog of the imperial court, and I have not served the government. I took action, not to stop you, but to save you. It's about saving a lot of people. Do you really think that the emperor is so easy to be assassinated? Also, even if you succeed in the assassination, do you know how serious the consequences are? β
Assassinate the emperor, the consequences are unimaginable.
When the time comes, a lot of people will die, and the vast majority of them will be Han Chinese. Now after all, it is the banner people who are in power, and Qin Zhiyong does not want the Han people to be slaughtered again.
The man in black went to assassinate the emperor at this moment, it was simply a mess. Violence, assassination, will not solve the fundamental problem. It will only cause the anger and revenge of the flag people.
The man in black snorted coldly and said, "What can be the consequences?" If it weren't for you, something would have happened. β
Qin Zhiyong said: "Your Excellency is not alone, there should be a huge organization behind you. After assassinating the Manchu Emperor, what were your plans? Rebel and take power? Qing officials, the number of troops, the commercial economy, how many percent do you master? Replacing the Manchu court, can you ensure the order of the world, can you make the administrative system run normally? β
The man in black was stunned.
Qin Zhiyong said that he had not considered these questions. The upper echelons of their organization don't even think about it. Qin Zhiyong's words, the man in black didn't understand much, after all, he was just a martial artist, but he didn't have much knowledge of the world.
But he felt that Qin Zhiyong's words were unclear and very reasonable.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "Your Excellency won't tell Qin that after assassinating the emperor, he will no longer pay attention to it, leave a mess, pat his ass and leave, right?" It is very irresponsible for you to do this. It will cause chaos in the world, and a lot of people will die. Human lives matter. To do great things, we must be cautious, and we must be foolproof. β
It was really said by Qin Zhiyong.
After the black-clothed man was assassinated, he didn't plan to care about the rest of the matter at all. Moreover, the organization behind him also has no intention of care.
They are assassinating for the sake of assassination, and they want revenge.
The man in black pulled down his mask, revealed his true face, hugged his fists at Qin Zhiyong, and said slightly respectfully: "Gossip Palm Dong Hancheng, I have seen Mr. Qin." Mr. Qin is strong in martial arts, resourceful and profound, and understands the way of a certain country. Dong Hancheng admired it so much. If Mr. Qin is willing to join us, we can worship Mr. Qin as a strategist and military advisor and conspire for great things. β
It turned out to be the Baguazhang Grandmaster. Qin Zhiyong secretly said in his heart, no wonder he felt that his boxing skills were so familiar and had a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu.
Qin Zhiyong shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in being your advisor and advisor. When you do things later, it's better to think about the consequences. Assassination, not a joke. Killing people does not solve the problem. β
Qin Zhiyong is not even willing to be an official now, how can he join a dark organization? What he wants is to cultivate his mind and improve his state of mind. First, the state of mind has reached the level of "fixed", and then talk about other things.
After speaking, Qin Zhiyong turned around and left.
Dong Hancheng looked at Qin Zhiyong's back as he left and sighed. In order to assassinate the emperor, he left his beloved and came to the capital alone. In the organization, there is no shortage of martial arts masters, and there are three martial artists at the grandmaster level. But there is a lack of a strategist like Mr. Qin. It's a pity that Mr. Qin is unwilling to help himself.
