Chapter 188: Deng6 Shanghai (I)

Although Andre and the others knew that this would not hurt them, when they saw this strange thing, they were still frightened and turned into discoloration, and they retreated seven or eight meters before stopping. The giant python gradually condensed into shape, and the surface of its body was covered with a layer of scales, and the exposed skull shimmered with green light in its eye sockets, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark night. Fortunately, there was no one else on the back deck of the ship except the three of them, otherwise it would have caused quite a stir.

When the single horn on the snake's skull completely disappeared and turned into the python's body, the python was already more than 20 meters long, floating in mid-air like a small dragon. Xu Changqing pinched the sword trick in his hand, recited the spell in his mouth, and then waved his sword finger towards the dark sea at the stern of the boat, and said in a deep voice: "Hurry!"

The giant python floating in mid-air immediately followed Xu Changqing's sword finger and rushed towards the pitch-black sea, following the unique aura of the original owner of the Gu Refining Cup, looking for its target in the ocean. After the giant python rushed out, Xu Changqing stood at the stern of the boat, quietly feeling the fluctuations of the vitality around him, and it didn't take long to feel that three or four nautical miles behind the ship, two evil spirits were fiercely entangled, and then an extremely terrible scream passed through the sea to the ship, making some uninformed people think that they had encountered something like a sea monster, and there was a lot of commotion.

"The head bearer who jumped into the sea is dead, and now you should be safe. Xu Changqing turned around, walked to Andre and the two who were sitting on the ground limply, patted them on the shoulder, and said, "I hope you can remember your promise, otherwise you will ......"

Xu Changqing's words were not finished, but the deterrent meaning in them had already made the two of them frightened, and when they came to their senses, Xu Changqing had already left the deck and returned to the cabin.

The cruise ship only stayed in Shanghai for half a day, replenished fuel and cargo, reported the accident on board, and then continued to set sail for Hong Kong. Originally, Andre and Mary wanted to stay for a few days to appreciate the style of this oriental magic capital, but unfortunately the things that happened on the ship had made them lose their interest in playing, and their only thought was to return to China as much as possible, so after the ship docked, neither of them got off the boat.

The news of Xu Changqing's arrival in Shanghai had already been notified by telegram a few days ago, but Chen Deshang knew that Xu Changqing did not like publicity, so he did not come to greet him in person, but sent the housekeeper of the mansion to wait at the dock. Even so, Xu Changqing and his entourage still attracted the attention of all forces on the Shanghai dock. After all, the power of the Chen family is there, and the so-called prime minister's three-rank official, even if it is a mansion housekeeper, can be regarded as a first-class figure in Shanghai, so it is difficult for such a person to come here early in the morning to wait for a day without being noticeable. Coupled with the respectful appearance of the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion to Xu Changqing, all forces in Shanghai speculated about his identity.

The port where the cruise ship berthed was in Wuzhen District, three or four districts apart from Zhabei District, where Chen's Mansion was located, after Xu Changqing went ashore, he did not take a train into the city like ordinary people, but took a horse-drawn carriage instead. After a day and a night of rest, the two little guys of the Huang family brothers and sisters regained their energy and became vigorous again, after getting into the carriage, they sat next to the coachman in front, Huangshan looked at the scenery and buildings on both sides intently, exclaimed from time to time, and explained carefully for his sister. In order to take care of the two little ones, the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion specially asked the coachman to choose the most prosperous road to drive.

"Sir, this is the first time I've come to Shanghai!" asked An Zhuang, the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, in a respectful manner.

"No, I've been here once before, probably ten years ago!" Xu Changqing looked out the car window and couldn't help but sigh at the towering buildings that brushed by: "Shanghai has changed so much, when I came, it was just a wasteland of farmland. ”

"It's really changed a lot!" An Zhuang nodded slightly, frowned and said: "It's just that these prosperous scenes can only be seen in the foreign concession, and out of the concession, I am afraid that it will be even worse than what Mr. saw ten years ago." Alas, the country is weak and the people are bullied!"

When the carriage drove through a few alleys, Xu Changqing saw a lot of scenes of selling children and daughters, and his expression was slightly gloomy, but soon he regained his normal color, and said with a light smile: "I didn't expect that Steward An is also a person who worries about the country and the people, disrespectful!"

"Don't dare! Don't dare!" An Zhuang hurriedly returned the salute modestly and said: "The little one just has feelings, and the more you know, the more you naturally think about it." ”

Being able to become the Shanghai governor of the Chen family's mansion, this An Zhuang is naturally not an ordinary person, judging from his conversation, he does not have the slightest subordinate style, and has his own views on affairs. Such a character naturally attracted Xu Changqing's attention, he took a closer look at An Zhuang's face, and saw that his life was in the arsenal, and he was purple and purple, and he would definitely be able to become an official in a few years, and his eyebrows contained righteousness, which was obviously not the temperament that a subordinate should have. When he was skeptical, he used his Tianluo Dou Shu to pinch his fingers to calculate An Zhuang's life, and soon frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Steward An is a member of the Alliance?"

An Zhuang's face was slightly stunned, slightly surprised, but he didn't deny it, and nodded: "Yes!"

Xu Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Does Chen Weng know your identity?"

"I think you should know!" An Zhuang said truthfully: "When the lord took office on my first day, he warned me once intentionally or unintentionally. ”

Xu Changqing nodded slightly after hearing this, and understood in his heart that this was Chen Deshang's acceptance of his own construction, and he took the initiative to show goodwill to the revolutionary army dominated by the League for two years. Letting a member of the League become the steward of the Chen Mansion in Shanghai must be to facilitate the discussion of current affairs with the top leaders of the Alliance. Among them, Chen Deshang must have a deal with the senior management of the Alliance, after all, with the background of the Chen family, it is much more convenient for the Alliance to do anything in Shanghai, and the content of the transaction is likely to be Chen Fan's future position.

Although Xu Changqing also had a good impression of the revolutionary army with the alliance, he couldn't have much contact with him because of his own reasons, and after learning An Zhuang's identity, he also lost the mood to continue chatting with him. In the rest of the journey, both of them were silent, quietly looking outside, Xu Changqing didn't want to say more, and An Zhuang felt Xu Changqing's rejection of him, and didn't know how to contact him.
