Qiao Yunhua glanced at her calmly, and said calmly: "Of course I'm here to do business, do you think it's for you?" ”

Shen Qiangrose originally had something to say, but when she saw him ask such a frivolous rhetorical question, she was stunned for a while. But seeing Qiao Yunhua glancing behind her intentionally or unintentionally, she listened to the footsteps coming slowly, and she already knew that there was a messenger behind her.

She understood that it was inconvenient to speak at this time, so she followed Qiao Yunhua out without saying a word. It was raining outside, like a needle gently smashing down, the mountains and forests in the distance were hazy, as if a light brush sketched a few strokes, and the mountains and rivers were gray.

Shen Qiang Rose held an umbrella and stepped on the wet cementine, step by step, mixed with the sound of rain on the ground, the trouser legs of the dress were stained with rain, and the coolness covered it, she didn't feel cold, the four fields in her ears were silent, as if on the side of the distant mountains, there was Lunyin Buddha, which made her even calm her heart.

When I got to the garden behind, I saw a large area of withered grass and dead poplars, and because no one had trimmed them, the weeds had grown to half a person's height, and they were all swaying and rustling in the wind and rain.

The original scenery here was excellent, when it was built, a thick layer of bluestone slabs was specially laid under the rain eaves, leading straight to the edge of the hexagonal pavilion at the end, so as to better enjoy the lake and mountains.

Only at this time, the path had been blocked by dead grass, and there were faint traces of blood, which had been washed away by the rain and faded in color.

Shen Qiangrose raised her eyes and looked over, and saw that in the messy withered grass, several people were tied to the stump of a temporarily cut tree, and through the mixed and fine rain, she looked vaguely, there were men and women, but they were just shadows, and they couldn't really see it.

There have long been guards who have surrounded this place, and the walls are strong. Su Ziyu stood not far in front of him with his hands in his hand, the attendant officer held an umbrella for him, he looked at it motionlessly for a moment, and then smiled playfully, the corners of his lips hooked a little interest, and he lightly ordered, "Let them go." ”

The captain of the garrison did not dare to ask more, and immediately obeyed the order and organized a platoon of guards, blocking them as if protectively, each raising the muzzle of a loaded gun, aiming at the middle of the black hole, and a few others ran over quickly, untying the rope for them neatly.

Those Fusang spies looked at each other in the rain, covered in blood, looking at each other blankly, standing still and not moving.

Su Ziyu frowned, took out a matching gun casually, and shot at the stake, "bang" pierced the sky, and those people instinctively began to flee, just running wildly in the rain, struggling to show the last bit of instinct.

The rain became heavier and heavier, weaving a hazy barrier layer by layer, covering his eyes like a mist, Su Ziyu was not affected at all, and calmly fired two more shots, which were accurate and steady, and the man immediately fell to the ground.

Qiao Yunhua stood next to him, the rain had already wet his clothes, he didn't realize it, and said with appreciation: "The third prince is worthy of graduating from the German Military Academy, and he can still hit every chance in such an environment." ”

Su Ziyu glanced at him with a smile, it was originally just an ordinary compliment, but Qiao Yunhua said it, hiding some sarcasm, he put his hand in his pants pocket and said: "When my father first handed over a few of our brothers to practice guns, they had to be covered with black cloth and judge the location of the target by their voice. I didn't study well, and I was far inferior to the eldest and seventh. ”

He laughed and didn't continue. turned to ask Qiao Yunhua, "Young Master Qiao is not coming?" ”

The broken hair on Qiao Yunhua's forehead was all wet by the rain, and he groaned heavily, as if he didn't want to participate. Originally, he was a wealthy man, and he only knew how to spend money in the drunken gold fan, and he was chic and wanton. Naturally, it can't compare to Su Ziyu's decision to kill.

Shen Qiangrose thought that Su Ziyu was just talking casually, but she didn't expect that he had already ordered someone to hand a pistol to Qiao Yunhua, looked at him thoughtfully, and said lightly: "It's just a group of people who are not of my race, not to mention that there is a national feud, Young Master Qiao can't do it?" ”

Qiao Yunhua lowered his eyes and did not take the gun. Su Ziyu didn't urge, raised his hand and fired a few shots neatly, all of which were 100 shots.

Shen Qiangrose stood at the end, although she was not afraid in her heart, she also looked away, the gunfire in her ears was fast and fast, and the blood had already stained the withered grass, and it was quickly washed away by the rain.

She knew that Su Ziyu was deliberately embarrassing Qiao Yunhua, but she couldn't think of the reason, and she wanted to dissuade her. saw Qiao Yunhua reach out and take the gun, and raised his hand to aim the muzzle of the gun at the middle, as if he was looking for focus, but he hesitated and never shot.

Su Ziyu looked at him with a calm expression, the corners of his lips hooked up an unpredictable smile, and he waited with interest. The fine rain crackled and fell, and it was already hazy in front of him, Qiao Yunhua had to squint his eyes, pull the trigger with his index finger, and the bullet flew out and hit the edge of the stump, he lowered his hand, smiled very reluctantly, and said, "I'm really ashamed." ”

Su Ziyu glanced at the stump twice, and said with a smile: "You are also a sharpshooter, there are people all over the ground, you can still hit the stump, you can hit it by mistake." ”

Qiao Yunhua was a little embarrassed on his face, and said complimentingly: "Aiming at people naturally requires a crosshair, I am still far behind, the third son's marksmanship is first-class, and he is really taught." ”

He said it to this point, Su Ziyu was no longer reluctant, looked at the remaining few people, and said: "There are a few people here who are the secretaries of the Jinling government, and one is a clerk of the confidential department. ”

He withdrew his gun, as if he was no longer interested, waved his hand casually, and the captain of the garrison immediately ordered the guards to strafe, and the bullets flew out suddenly, but in an instant, all those people fell to the ground, and the guards rushed forward to clean up the scene.

Qiao Yunhua retracted his gaze and said, "I heard that the National Assembly intends to nominate the third prince to be the town guard of Jinling?" My father and the people in the Chamber of Commerce are all supportive, so I think there should be a lot of voice on the government's side, right? ”

Su Ziyu laughed, and walked to the other side leisurely, there was a long Western-style rain corridor over there, the white pillars stood majestically, the whole was in a straight line, adjacent to a stream of water, meandering out, flowing to the clear spring in the mountain, but there was no end in sight, like the veins of the leaves branched out, each rushing.

Shen Qiangrose followed behind with an umbrella, and listened to Su Ziyu say: "Today's Congress is nothing but nothing, in troubled times, people with pens and guns are far less powerful than people with guns, they can't do anything, but they have a good name, such a false name is useless." ”

Qiao Yunhua smiled modestly and said, "It's still the third prince who has foresight. ”

Su Ziyu smiled noncommittally and said, "How can I have any vision? A concubine with no power and no soldiers, as a quartermaster, hunting prey in this barren mountain and wilderness, cleaning up and cleaning up spies. ”

Qiao Yunhua laughed first, and then said with a straight face: "The third prince has a high talent, and he will not only place his affection on the landscape, but he is just waiting for an opportunity. ”

Su Ziyu raised his eyes and looked at him, as if he was smiling, "Oh? "I want to hear about it." ”

Qiao Yunhua said: "The times have always created heroes, and most of them are kings on the national map, how many can really laugh to the end?" Now Su Dashuai sits on half of the south of the country, but the strategy is not as good as back then, to put it disrespectfully, Dashuai is old, this country should have changed the dynasty a long time ago. ”

Su Ziyu looked at him intently, and after a while, he smiled and said: "How can it be so easy, my father's lineage is all in the hands of the seventh child, and the second child also holds the military power, in the past few years, my father has been quite jealous of me, I don't have a single soldier in my hands, and the support of the Congress alone is far from enough." ”

Qiao Yunhua first glanced at Shen Qiangrose before saying, "Why don't the third prince go north?" There are a lot of miscellaneous armies there, originally lying at the junction of the north and south, a force of its own, I heard that the head snake there used to be a serious Su family army, in the early years because of some things, was shot dead by the second son, who thought that the life was big, but he had a heart in the middle, and escaped a catastrophe. ”

He paused, and said, "Now that the civil war continues, he has been in the mix, and has recovered many towns in the border areas, and now he is a veritable overseer, and he has sent an envoy when he hears that he is interested in building a railroad with the Southlands recently." ”

Su Ziyu laughed and said, "Young Master Qiao is very angry with me, we must have a few drinks today." ”
