Chapter 39: Secret Deals

"I've been waiting for a long time! If your master doesn't show up again, Xiao Xu will have to withdraw! ”

Shijing Mountain, Leiyin Cave, Xu Shuzheng had already burned three incense sticks in front of the Buddha statue, and the assassin Ah Hai smiled and said, "My master is here." ”

Suddenly, a small door opened in the depths of the stone wall, and a petite figure walked out, which seemed to be a girl's house at first glance?

Xiao Xu was surprised, and when the visitor stood in the light, he revealed the face of a fifteen-year-old girl, and there was no second person by his side.

"Master, this is General Xiao Xu."

Ahaibi bowed respectfully to the girl, as if the slave's attitude towards his master.

And this girl called "master", dressed in simple clothes, with a big black braid combed on the back of her head, is like a poor girl who can be seen everywhere on the street. His appearance is outstanding, with a pale and thin face, and dark eyes, staring at you like a dementor.

Directly above the Thunder Sound Cave, Qin Beiyang, who peeked through the gap in the secret passage, was so shocked that he almost shouted-Ah You!

Yes, the "master" of the assassins is the "sister" of Ah You, who was rescued by Qin Beiyang on the edge of the Chongling Underground Palace nine years ago, and is also the "Ouyang Anyou" who is commensurate with Ouyang Anna as a sister.

Qin Beiyang covered his mouth, shocked and frightened, remembering that last year in Shaoxing Huiji Mountain, he rescued Qian Ke's father, and by the way, he rescued the kidnapped A You-a thought flashed in his mind at that time, how could it be such a coincidence? Maybe something's wrong? But thinking about the joy of reuniting with Ayou's "sister", I forgot all my doubts in an instant.

Ah Yu is actually an assassin lurking beside him? She also went to Dharma Mountain with Qin Beiyang! Fortunately in the misfortune, Ah You did not enter the mausoleum of Emperor Jianwen under the cliff of sacrifice, nor did he see the treasure cave where Gengzi paid millions of silver, Amitabha, I hope so!

Qin Beiyang asked Jiu Se to calm down for a while, and looked into the Thunder Sound Cave by the crackβ€”Ah You, are you an accomplice of the assassins? Or the master of the assassins? Or the Assassins themselves?

"General Xiao Xu, the little woman is polite."

A fifteen-year-old girl, Ah You, gave Xu Shuzheng a blessing ceremony.

"It's really a time when the sky is falling apart, and the little girl has become a big devil who has killed countless people."

As Xiao Xu spoke, he pressed his hand on the gun on his waist.

"Please forgive the little girl's subordinates for acting recklessly and frightening General Xiao Xu."

"Fright? In the building of the War Department, you are hiding in the coffin of the Tang Dynasty, plotting to assassinate me, I am afraid that it cannot be just said to be frightening. ”

"General Xiao Xu, you have misunderstood. It's night, and the little woman's subordinates are interested in the coffin, not in General Xiao Xu. The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. Our assassin is a praying mantis, and the coffin of the Tang Dynasty is a cicada, and the praying mantis captured this cicada from the residence of Congressman Qu Jinghe, but he didn't expect to encounter the yellow finch sent by General Xiao Xu in the middle of the road. And two of my subordinates, with nowhere to escape, were forced to hide in coffins, and when you opened them, they flew out and fled for their lives because of your majesty. ”

And in Qin Beiyang's impression, Ah You has never been so sharp-toothed!

Xu Shuzheng paused slightly, recalling the situation that night: "You mean, they didn't come to assassinate me, but I appeared in the wrong place and at the wrong time?" ”

"Well, it was General Xiao Xu who cut off the coffin first, and then the assassins escaped from the coffin."

"Okay, if you're still a yellow-haired girl, I'm not to blame for the past! But since that night, you have assassinated Congressman Qu Jinghe, and you have killed seven members of our Anfu Department in a row, this matter cannot be denied, right? ”

"Actually, if we kill the second person, you take the initiative to contact us, and we won't kill the seventh."

A cruel smile flashed across the corners of Ah You's mouth, making Qin Beiyang, who was peeking overhead, creepy.

"So, your purpose in assassinating the congressman is to force me to come out and negotiate?"

"Exactly!"

"What are you talking about?"

"The coffin of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty."

Suddenly, Xu Shuzheng laughed loudly: "Hahaha! After going around for most of the day, they still asked me for the coffin! Because the War Office is heavily guarded, you have no choice but to assassinate the members of Congress on whom I trust, cut off my right-hand man, and force me to make concessions and make a deal with you bandits. ”

"General Xiao Xu, you are a person who understands, the little woman doesn't say much, please hand over the coffin of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, in a month, I will kill seven more MPs of the Anfu Club. As we all know, the Congress of the Republic of China is the fig leaf and shroud of the Beiyang warlords. If there is a danger of being cut throat and killed, they will inevitably quit the Anfu Club, or even draw a line with you, and switch to Feng Guozhang's direct line, or Liang Qichao's research department. The parliamentary election in two months will be a fiasco for the Anfu family, and my ambitions will probably be in vain. ”

After Ah You said this, Xu Shuzheng was silent for half a pillar of incense, and his face was as pale as an eggplant with autumn frost.

The fifteen-year-old Xiao Nizi in front of her has such a meticulous logic, interlocking, explaining the interests and even explaining the essence of politics - there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, but in the face of interests, it is more important to save your own life.

He took a half step back and asked, "I wonder if there is a dynasty that changed history because of the assassins?" ”

"In the Xinhai year, the Manchu royal family Shaozhuang faction did not agree to abdicate, advocated a bloody war to the end, and even wanted to get rid of the disloyal Yuan Shikai, but was assassinated by the revolutionary party in Beijing. Ah You took another half step forward, "Besides, for example, this is the dynasty." ”

Looking at the girl's dark eyes, Xu Shuzheng's left hand trembled, and he would let go of the glass bottle at any time.

"Hey...... I have been a young Xu Rongma for more than ten years, and I have been planted in the hands of a girl who wants to make a deal with assassins! Okay, I promise you to return the coffin of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty to you. ”

"Thank you, General Xu, for making it complete! The little girl couldn't be more polite! ”

Before Ah You's blessing was finished, Xu Shuzheng said coldly: "But how can you guarantee that you will not assassinate my congressman again?" ”

"Today, the little woman is here to make a loud noise, I have an iron discipline for my subordinates, you should believe it!"

"I trust you, but what if you can't restrain your subordinates? Today, warlords are fighting each other, and there are many people who are subordinate to the top. The president cannot control the prime minister, the prime minister cannot control the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief cannot control the overseer, and the overseer cannot control the division commander, and so on......"

"Are you saying that today's Premier Duan can't control you?"

"Xu does not leave Duan, Duan does not leave Xu. In the year of Xinhai, the Beiyang Army confronted the revolutionary army, and Lao Duan was ordered by Yuan Shikai to send a telegram to support the republic. This telegram that prompted the abdication of the Qing Emperor was drafted by Xiao Xu and me, and I also made a great contribution to the establishment of the Republic of China. Later, Lao Duan was the chief of the army, and Xiao Xu and I were the deputy commander of the army; Lao Duan is the prime minister, and Xiao Xu is the secretary of state. ”

Ah You smiled indifferently: "If you compare the warlord to the assassin, it is a great insult to the assassin. ”

"Assassin...... Where do you belong? And who serves? Is it the president? Or Sun Yat-sen in Guangzhou? Or Zhang Zuolin outside the gate? ”

"General Xiao Xu, you guessed all of the above!"

"Don't sell off! When you talk about it, you talk about it, and if you don't talk about it, you just talk about it! Xu Shuzheng glanced at the three bodyguards, holding the glass ball tightly in his left hand and pressing the Browning gun in his right hand, "The entire Shijing Mountain has been surrounded by my soldiers, as long as an order is given, every cave here will not leave a living mouth." ”

"General Xiao Xu, is this negotiation broken? Your methods are resolute, and the little woman already knows it. Anyone's life, in your eyes, is just a stepping stone to the top. ”

"Even if it's it! Little girl, I will give you two choices, one is to raise your hand and surrender, or maybe spare your life, and the other is to resist stubbornly, and you will die without a place to bury. ”

The three bodyguards had already protected him in a zigzag shape, and they could withdraw from the cave at any time.

Ah Hai showed a strange smile, he made eye contact with Ah You, and then pushed away the stone slab scripture on the side of the Lei Yin Cave, revealing a huge glass.

Qin Beiyang, who peeked in the secret passage on the top of the cave, moved his observation angle and found that behind the glass, there was the Jinxian Cave next door - seven elites in the Chinese cultural circle, admiring the third treasure of the "Four Treasures of Cloud Dwelling" on the wooden table.

There is a mirror on the stone wall of the Golden Immortal Cave, which must be the glass in the Leiyin Cave, and the two sides are of the same size and shape. It's just that only the reflected mirror can be seen in the Golden Immortal Cave, and the Thunder Sound Cave is transparent.

This is one-way glass, one side is covered with a thin silver film, and light and shadow can only be seen in one direction. Westerners have used this glass to interrogate prisoners.

Xu Shuzheng, who was in the Leiyin Cave, stared at the Jinxian Cave opposite the glass in surprise, and recognized Cai Yuanpei, the president of Peking University, and Gu Hongming, a university scholar.

"How could they be here?"

"Cai Yuanpei, Chen Zhongfu, Qian Xuantong, Wang Jiawei, Zhou Shuren, Gu Hongming, Hu Shizhi." Ah You said these seven names accurately, "The seven most learned people today, before General Xiao Xu went up the mountain, the little woman had been invited by the little woman to the Golden Immortal Cave next door to admire the four treasures of Yunju that had been reincarnated for sixty years. ”

"What does that have to do with your negotiations today?"

Ah You stared at the dark eyes and looked at the seven university scholars on the opposite side of the glass: "Do you know that the underground of the Golden Immortal Cave has been planted by me with high explosives. ”
