Chapter 82 Nine Twists and Hearts

Hearing Xu Changqing's question, Long Jinbao scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I know that I can't hide it from Master, after I was here a few years ago, I sent someone back to my hometown to send some money or something to my former subordinates and take care of their lives." I didn't think that after these rabbit cubs heard my whereabouts, they all dragged their families and ran here with their mouths, wanting to beg for a living with me, and there were one or two thousand people in total. At that time, I really couldn't think of a place to settle them, and it happened that the remnants of the Boxer Rebellion here were very violent in those years, so I spent money to ask the governor of Zhili, Yamen, for an errand with an armed militia group, and gathered these brothers together as officers and soldiers. Saying that, his face was quite proud: "Over the years, because of the merit of killing thieves, I have been transferred to a regular position as an apprentice, and I have become the general soldier of Bazhou under the Hebei prefect, and the militia formed has also been incorporated into the Bazhou Zhengwu Battalion, plus the earthen knives and guns in my hands have been replaced by foreign guns and artillery in the past two years, and the apprentice I have become a small figure in this area." Not only did the Beiyang New Army come to woo me, but the regent of the capital sent someone to invite me a few days ago, which happened to respond to Master's approval back then, and Top Gun ascended to the sky!"

"Yes, yes, your achievements have exceeded my expectations, and it seems that you have put in a lot of effort over the years!" Xu Changqing nodded slightly, and then said with a stern expression: "Although you are now infinitely beautiful, it is a pity that you are too sharp, but you don't know that you are in the midst of fire and water, and there is a possibility of destruction at any time." ”

Long Jinbao was careless and careful, but the smugness in his heart fascinated his eyes for a while. After hearing Xu Changqing's words, he was stunned for a moment, then thought about it in his heart, and immediately saw the deep crisis from the flowery appearance, and his smug face was exhausted, and he knelt in front of Xu Changqing with a pale face, and said urgently: "Master save me, Master save me!"

"You get up, although all parties want to swallow you now, it can be regarded as a crisis for you, but if you can grasp it well, this is not a turning point. Let me calculate your fortune first!" Xu Changqing helped Long Jinbao up, motioned him to stand up, then closed his eyes slightly, ran the true yuan, opened his eyes suddenly, and looked up and down carefully at Long Jinbao's fortune, the fingers of his left hand were so fast that he couldn't see any trace, and he used Tianluo Doushu to pinch his fingers and calculate. Although at this moment, the Xuangang Heavenly Demon has made a mess of the luck near the Jingshi, even if a person like Xu Changqing who is proficient in numerology can't calculate the general trend, but it is still possible to deduce a person's life without looking at the overall situation.

As Long Jinbao's deduction deepened, Xu Changqing's face became a little strange, and Long Jinbao couldn't help but worry in his heart. When the calculation stopped, he couldn't wait to ask, "Master, can't I get over this hurdle?"

"Don't worry, not only will you be fine, but you will be a blessing in disguise and go to the next level. Xu Changqing said calmly: "Are you hesitating whether to join the regent or the Beiyang New Army now?"

"That's right! That's what the apprentice meant!" Long Jinbao nodded vigorously and said.

Xu Changqing took a sip of tea and said, "Don't worry, as long as you do what I tell you, you won't suffer if you take refuge on that side." ”

Long Jinbao hurriedly respectfully filled Xu Changqing with a teacup and said, "I hope the master will make it clear!"

Xu Changqing looked at the teacup in front of him, hesitated for a moment, fell into a state of contemplation, frowned slightly, and suddenly said, "Jinbao, do you really want to be my registered disciple?"

Long Jinbao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xu Changqing to ask him about this, he quickly came to his senses, hurriedly knelt in front of Xu Changqing, and said: "There is a god three feet above my head, if I Wang San is not sincere and wants to apprentice, let me fight five thunders in the sky, and after death, I will fall into the eighteenth layer of hell and never live." ”

"Okay!" Xu Changqing looked at Long Jinbao with a sincere face, nodded and said, "Let's serve tea!

After hearing this, Long Jinbao immediately showed happiness, picked up the teacup, raised his hands respectfully above his head, and after Xu Changqing took the teacup, he knelt three times and bowed nine times, until Xu Changqing reached out to help, and then stood up.

"I won't hide it from you, the reason why I accepted you as a registered disciple is mainly because you may be able to help me in the future, it is completely a matter of profit, even if you join another door in the future, it is not a big deal, just inform me!" Xu Changqing said bluntly: "It's just that before you vote for him, you must first exchange what you owe me to me, and I can agree." ”

Long Jinbao gambled and swore: "The disciple will never dare to turn his back on the master, if there is such a big rebellion, the disciple is willing to ......."

"Okay! Now that you are already my registered disciple, and you can be regarded as a person in half of the cultivation world, it is better to talk less about things like gambling and swearing, and it is not an empty word to have a god in your head. Xu Changqing interrupted Long Jinbao's oath, and then took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, handed it to Long Jinbao, and said: "This bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill is an elixir refined by the masters of Louguan Dao, and it has the effect of being reborn and refreshing Qi and refreshing. After two days, I will send someone to send a copy of the inner family heart method and some Taoist cultivation methods, you only need to follow the above method, take a pill every day when you practice, the day the pill is finished, you will be almost half a cultivator, whether you can achieve the Great Dao in the future depends on your chance. ”

"Disciple remember the master's order!" Long Jinbao hurriedly took the small bottle and put it away closely, then hesitated for a moment, and asked timidly: "Master, you haven't told me yet, how can you survive the catastrophe in front of you?"

"You only need to remember one sentence," Xu Changqing said with a stern expression: "That sentence is the opposite when you encounter water, no matter which side you take refuge into, you must remember that everything you encounter is related to water, you must oppose it." ”

"When it meets water, it's the opposite?" Long Jinbao nodded slightly, muttering this sentence in his mouth.

Xu Changqing put the teacup on the table and asked, "Jinbao, is Cao Kun still with you now?"

"Yes! Long Jinbao was stunned for a moment, nodded and said.

Xu Changqing thought for a while and said, "You bring him over, I want to meet him!"

"Okay, Master!" Long Jinbao bowed down, closed the door, and walked to another Accord in the backyard, listening to his footsteps, he could feel that he was in a good mood at the moment.

"Master, why do you want to accept this person as an apprentice?" Guan Zheng, who had not spoken, suddenly asked: "Although Guan does not know physiognomy, he can also see that this person has a fierce face, and he will be a butcher in the future." Today's master accepts this person as an apprentice, and the evil he creates in the future will inevitably fall on the master, and this person is rebellious and has no roots, and he is definitely not a good disciple. ”

"Since Brother Guan can see it, can't I see it?" Xu Changqing smiled indifferently and said, "I have seen his shortcomings before, so no matter how much he respects me, I have never accepted him as a registered disciple. However, I calculated just now that he may also become one of the robbers in the future, and it is not impossible to take the risk of taking this evil for the sake of future plans. As for the killing that Brother Guan said, there is no way to talk about it, although I said that I accepted him as an apprentice, and received his three kneels and nine bows, but I did not drink his apprentice tea, the apprenticeship ceremony is not finished, he is not my disciple, and his murder cannot be related to me. ”

Guan Zheng's face was abrupt, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Alas! Such a fighting spirit is really not what I am good at. Since the master has calculated very clearly, if the time comes when we need him, he turns to other doors and does not want to help us, then ......"

Xu Changqing smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Brother Guan, please rest assured, since Jinbao has accepted my elixir, he also owes me a debt, as long as he doesn't pay back what he owes me, he can only help us." ”

Just as the two were talking, Long Jinbao walked outside the house with a person in civilian clothes and said, "Brother Cao, the family teacher is waiting inside, please come in!"

As he spoke, he pushed the door in, only to see a tall and thin middle-aged man standing next to Long Jinbao, with eagle eyes and hooked nose, looking particularly gloomy, and in his eyes, there was always a hint of cruelty, feeling like a jackal who could never get enough to eat. When he walked in and saw Xu Changqing and Guan Zheng, who were dressed in Western clothes and looked young, he couldn't help but be stunned, frowned, and said with some annoyance: "Brother Long, are you playing tricks on Cao, don't tell me that these two little brothers have your master who mixes with the dragon and the treasure!"

"What Brother Cao said is good. Long Jinbao walked to Xu Changqing's side and introduced: "This is my Long Jinbao's master, Mr. Xu Changqing of Chen Jiachong." ”

Hearing Long Jinbao's words, Cao Kun was stunned for a moment, he suddenly thought of a person that his superior Feng Guozhang had mentioned, and then the two corresponded to each other, his face changed suddenly, although there was a smile on his face, but there was a trace of disdain in his eyes, and said: "I didn't expect Brother Long to be Mr. Xu's disciple, no wonder he did this," he said and saluted Xu Changqing: "Cao Kun has seen Mr. Xu, Mr. Jiuyang's name, I have never had the opportunity to see him, and I have seen him today, which is really a blessing for my Cao three lives." ”

Although Cao Kun's demeanor was respectful, there was a scorn and indifference in his bones.

"Cao Tong is polite! Please be seated. Regarding Cao Kun's attitude, Xu Changqing didn't say anything, indifferently pointed to the chair in front of him, and then motioned for Long Jinbao to go out, and Guan Zheng also felt that it was not appropriate for him to stay here, so he got up and left, and went outside to wait for Xu Changqing to come out.

"I don't know what Mr. Xu called Cao to talk about?" Cao Kun sat down, leaning lazily on the chair, looking arrogant, although Xu Changqing has long been famous, but in Cao Kun's opinion, he is just a warlock, and with his current status, it is enough to give him face on an equal footing with Xu Changqing. More than a year ago, he snatched the position of Duan Qirui's third town commander and became a figure with military power in his hands, and now he has been calling for wind and rain in the northeast, claiming to be the king and hegemon, even his old superior Feng Guozhang is also a brother when he sees him, so naturally he doesn't take the miraculous warlock in front of him too seriously.

Xu Changqing saw his thoughts from Cao Kun's face very lightly, and did not say anything, always with an indifferent smile on his face, and asked bluntly: "At this moment, Cao Tong is not staying in the northeast to watch the Japanese army, but secretly disguised himself to enter Beijing, presumably under the instructions of Lord Feng! I wonder if I can let my subordinates know what big trouble Lord Feng has to use this general Cao Tong?"

"This is a military priority, and Cao can't tell him. Cao Kun was very unaccustomed to Xu Changqing's direct questioning, and a sense of arrogance couldn't help but rush to his head, ready to stand up and leave. However, he suddenly realized that his body was unable to move at the moment, as if an invisible rope was binding his body tightly, making him lose control of his body. Cao Kun is not a stupid person, thinking of Xu Changqing's various legends, he naturally understands that his body will be such a ghost made by the person in front of him, so he glared at Xu Changqing angrily, with a gloomy face, and asked, "What does Mr. Xu mean by this?"

"I don't have any other intentions, I just want Cao Tongzhi to sit for a while and tell Cao Tongzhi some ways of life. Xu Changqing looked at Cao Kun coldly, and said: "It's a good thing for people to be arrogant, but you also have to distinguish who you are right to, I am used to being complimented at home, and I don't like people pretending to be uncles in front of me, not to mention that you and other worldly people are like ants in front of me, even if you are powerful now, it is only easy to ask for your life, I don't know if Cao Tong is willing to try?"

Cao Kun was able to climb to his current position, not only because of his own ability, but also because he was able to see the situation and move, and when he was strong, he was able to give in. Seeing that Xu Changqing was indeed a real talent, although he was extremely angry in his heart, he still put away his arrogance, pretended to laugh boldly, and said: "Mr. Xu is a strange person in the world, why should he be angry with me, an ordinary man? Today, Cao Mou drank two more cups of horse urine, and he made a mistake here, so I hope Mr. is not strange." Master Feng has told us about Mr. before, and he has also mentioned many times that you should not snub Mr., since Mr. wants to ask Cao something, Cao must know everything and say everything. ”

Xu Changqing didn't let go of the spell confinement on him, and asked directly: "It's still like that, now that Cao Tong is in full swing in the northeast, why does Lord Feng want Cao Tong to put down the military affairs in his hands and come to Bazhou in such a risky disguise to win over Jinbao? I think it's not just for the formation of a new army!"

Cao Kun looked at Xu Changqing, his eyes rolled, and he said without changing his face: "Actually, there are some contradictions between Lord Feng and Duan Qirui, and there is a bit of a trouble. Now that Wei Shuai is under house arrest, and Wang Shizhen is a typical wall grass that is unreliable, Duan Qirui has several towns in his hands, but only me, the people of the third town, are far away in the northeast, and he feels that I won't have time to come back in case something happens, so he ......"

"No! You have too many loopholes to be trusted. But it reminded me. Xu Changqing's face was a little gloomy, he thought for a while, and muttered a guess: "If the battle between Lord Feng and Lord Duan is fake and acting, then their purpose in doing this must be to attract the attention of others and make people think that the Beiyang New Army is engaged in internal strife! If you are not the only one who is ordered to secretly expand the army, then you must have already attracted a lot of armed forces near the Beijing Division. Now Lord Feng is the minister on duty in Lianggezhuang in the Western Lingliang of the Qing Dynasty and the chief envoy of the Military Advisory Office of the 6th Military Department, and his subordinates manage ninety percent of the military talents of the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Lord Duan is the commander of the Beiyang New Army in the four towns and six towns, and he just controls Zhang Renjun and Zhang Xun's Liangjiang Wuwei Battalion, so it seems that the plan of a few people is not small!"
