Through the mouth of this restaurant guy, Qiao Mu gradually learned more about this world. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared to the same time period on Earth where he was located, there was a big difference here.

Those historical figures he is familiar with do not exist, but some warlord factions and other aspects have a lot of overlap with history.

For example, the current governor of Anbei Province is Zhang Xin'an, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is just a puppet, and it is the overseer Song Kaiyun who really controls the military and political power in the province.

Song Kaiyun is a native of Anbei Province, who rose from the grassroots level, and a few years ago defected to the Anhui warlords, gained inflated power, and almost single-handedly covered the sky in Anbei Province.

Now, with the outbreak of the Zhiwan War, the Anhui warlords were defeated and the backers fell, and Song Kaiyun's status plummeted.

Especially because of his violent conquests in recent years, his prestige is far less than before.

In addition, in the territory of Anbei Province, the Patriotic Army formed by patriotic party members is growing day by day, making his position more and more unstable.

Don't say that high-level people, even some customers of "Bincui Building" talk about it in a grand manner, Song Kaiyun may not be able to hold out for too long.

"In this way, in Anbei Province, the biggest forces are the overseer Song Kaiyun and the commander-in-chief of the Patriotic Army, Ye Barrier?" Qiao Mu asked as he played with the ring in his hand.

He had already captured the inner thoughts of this guy through his "telepathic" abilities.

While some of it may be hidden, on the whole he is right.

In this way, it can also be seen that the provincial governor Song Kaiyun has indeed lost his prestige, and it is likely to be difficult to maintain it.

"Yes."

"I've finished answering the questions, look?" The guy looked at Qiao Mu with a look of flattery and expectation.

Qiao Mu bowed slightly, stretched out his hand to flick the ring, and fell steadily into the hands of the guy.

When he got the ring, the guy was full of excitement, wiped it on his cuffs, and put it in front of his eyes to look at it.

Even when he was about to put it away, he suddenly heard a voice: "Wait." ”

The man's face changed slightly, and he turned his head sideways, and saw a man dressed in black approaching.

The man looked to be twenty-five or sixteen years old, and his clothes were markedly different from the short shirts that were in vogue today, but somewhat similar to the tunics.

His beard is very clean, and his face is not handsome, but he has a special temperament, and his eyes are gentle, which can give people a good impression.

When he saw the man, the restaurant guy's face became not good-looking.

The guests who can come here to consume are all rich or expensive, if the other party takes a fancy to what he has in his hand, even if he takes it by force, he doesn't dare to say anything.

The man seemed to guess the man's thoughts, and smiled, "Can you show me the ring in your hand?" Just take a look. ”

The guy nodded with a sad face.

He took the ring and put it in front of him to look at it carefully, his eyes lingering on the engraved words for a long time.

Qiao Mu's eyes were also full of curiosity.

The words on this ring are ancient Egyptian, and even abroad, not many people know them, let alone Huaguo.

The man looked at it for a full two minutes before he returned under the worried gaze of the man, he turned to Qiao Mu and said, "Contemptible Huang Zicheng, can you take the liberty of asking Mr. Xia's name?" ”

"I'm an arbor." Qiao Mu smiled.

"Mr. Qiao, did you come back from studying abroad recently?" Huang Zicheng sat opposite the arbor and asked.

Qiao Mu shook his head.

"I graduated from Cambridge University in England four years ago." Huang Zicheng obviously didn't believe Qiao Mu's words, and said to himself.

Qiao Mu looked up in surprise.

In this era, he can graduate from Cambridge University, which can be regarded as a good talent.

And according to what he is wearing......

"Are you a member of the Patriotic Army?" Qiao Mu asked.

Huang Zicheng smiled and did not deny it.

He continued: "I studied law at Cambridge University and wanted to solve our domestic problems by formulating a set of laws that worked......"

Suddenly, he changed the topic and said, "During college, I took ancient literature, which is my hobby. ”

"The ring you just gave that fellow, the text on it, if I'm not mistaken, should be ancient Egyptian." Huang Zicheng continued.

Qiao Mu looked at him with a smile.

His smile made Huang Zicheng a little embarrassed.

The man, who had returned from abroad, tried to explain: "I like these ancient characters very much, so I take the liberty of ......"

"I took it out of the treasury of the Egyptian pharaohs." Qiao Mu said lightly.

"Huh?" Huang Zicheng was stunned.

Although Egypt is still a British colony, a Chinese man went there to dig up the treasure trove of the pharaohs......

Huang Zicheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Mr. Qiao is really humorous. ”

Qiao Mu shrugged.

Seeing that all the dishes ordered by Qiao Mu came up, and he didn't have much desire to talk, Huang Zicheng said goodbye and left.

After eating, Qiao Mu got up and headed to the Overseer's Mansion.

Although he has a more direct way to get what he wants, ...... He didn't want to walk in this world for nothing.

What's more, according to a figure like Qin Shi Huang, he will not be so willing to be at the mercy of others.

So, he needs to add a little bit of leverage, or rather, leave another option.

The Overseer's Palace is located within the south gate of the city walls, almost coinciding with the provincial government building on Earth.

When Qiao Mu arrived, he saw an old army green car slowly approaching, passing through the sentry and entering the Overseer's Mansion.

A strange look flashed in his eyes.

Just now, he used his "telepathy" ability, and he happened to capture the killing intent of the two people in the car, and that killing intent was obviously for Song Kaiyun, the provincial governor.

"If this guy dies like this, then there is no need to meet." Qiao Mu thought to himself.

Under the watchful gaze of the guards outside the Overseer's Mansion, Qiao Mu sat down on a stone bench.

This stone bench was naturally set up for pedestrians, but due to the recent situation in the province, there are very few pedestrians stationed here due to the clashes that have erupted between the patriotic army and the government army from time to time.

Qiao Mu's behavior suddenly became extremely "dazzling", especially in the eyes of these noisy guards.

"Captain?" A young guard turned his head.

The middle-aged non-commissioned officer he called "Captain" nodded and advised: "Be kind and persuasive, don't be rude!" ”

Seeing a young soldier in a green military uniform walking towards him, Qiao Mu never got up.

The entire Overseer's Mansion was shrouded in his "telepathy" abilities, so he had a rough sense of what was going on inside.

It's getting closer and closer to that flashpoint.

"This ...... Sir," said the young soldier, considering his tone and finding the right name, "the Overseer's Court is under martial law, and outsiders are forbidden to stay here. ”

"Did you hear that?" Qiao Mu looked up, a strange smile in his eyes.

The young soldier was stunned for a moment, and then he heard a loud bang behind him.
