Chapter Eighty-Three: The Devil's Heart is Unpredictable

As Xu Changqing muttered to himself, Cao Kun's face became extremely pale, and sweat continued to break out on his forehead, which soon soaked his collar. At this time, Xu Changqing suddenly stopped talking to himself, leaned over, looked at Cao Kun indifferently and said: "If I am not mistaken, you want to use the method of mutiny to rescue Yuan Shikai, and then use the Qingjun side to cut off Zaifeng!"

"Cao doesn't understand what Mr. Xu is talking about!" Cao Kun's face now has no trace of blood, and he closed his eyes slightly, resisting death.

Xu Changqing ignored Cao Kun's reaction, stood up again, and said to himself: "Yuan Shikai is really extraordinary, he was able to deceive the trust of Mr. Zhuang Fei and others in just a few words, but now even if he has stepped down, there are a group of subordinates like you who are running around for him. Feng Duan and the two have always been at odds, and now that Yuan Shikai has stepped down, there are only two people who can have the ability and courage to integrate the two of them together, one is the military advisor Xu Shichang, and the other is Wang Shizhen of the three masters, I don't know if I am wrong?"

Cao Kun took a deep breath, opened his eyes, looked at Xu Changqing with a gloomy face, and said in a slightly awe-inspiring tone: "I heard Mr. Daming's name earlier, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary. It's just that this matter is related to the life and death of the comforting handsome, and it is also related to the future of our Chinese nation.

"Fart! Yuan Shikai is a shameless man, how can he represent the future of my entire Chinese nation!" Xu Changqing saw that Cao Kun was such a rebellious person and bowed his head for Yuan Shikai's safety, and then remembered that he even had a thousand calculations to accept an apprentice, and the gap between the two was so big, he couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy, and couldn't help but roar, but after roaring, he immediately calmed down and muttered: "At least the future does not belong to Yuan Shikai!"

Cao Kun didn't understand Xu Changqing's words, but he just saw from Xu Changqing's appearance that he was extremely dissatisfied with Yuan Shikai, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, and said: "At present, the Chen family has a close relationship with my family's comfort handsome, and there has been a lot of cooperation in the past year, and when the comfort commander was under house arrest, the Chen family also entrusted people to take care of it, presumably Mr. Xu, who is a member of the Chen family, should have heard of it, right?"

"You want to use the Chen family to suppress me, although it is a little stupid, but it is not a bad way. Xu Changqing smiled coldly and said, "Could it be that Lord Duan Qirui didn't sue Cao for the system, and the person who prompted the Chen family to support Yuan Shikai was I, Xu Changqing?"

"This bastard!" Cao Kun couldn't help but scold in a low voice when he heard Xu Changqing's words, and then said: "Since Mr. Xu supports my family's comfort, why do you want to stop me from waiting to rescue the handsome?"

"Save Yuan Shikai?" Xu Changqing looked at Cao Kun with disdain, and said with a sneer: "I think it's true that you want to kill Yuan Shikai!"

As soon as Xu Changqing's words fell, Cao Kun refuted angrily: "Although I, Cao Kun, have not read any books, I still know how to write the word loyalty." Even if you look down on me, Cao Kun, but Lord Feng's loyalty to the comfort commander is a clear sun and moon, how can you be so slandered. ”

Facing Cao Kun with an angry face, Xu Changqing looked at him for a long time, the sneer on his face was exhausted, he became extremely solemn, and said slowly: "At this time, using a mutiny to save Yuan Shikai seems to be no problem, but in fact, it is a bad idea that will ruin Yuan Shikai and the Beiyang New Army in one fell swoop!" Xu Shichang is the head of Xiao Guo's affairs, although he does not have the ability to see through the fortune of heaven and earth, but he is completely able to see the direction of the country's fortunes, and see that the Manchu Qing Qi is not exhausted, and this is definitely not the time to turn his face with him, so he cannot be the leader of this plan. Although Wang Shizhen is Yuan Shikai's subordinate, it is well known that he still has a loyalty to the Qing court, which can be regarded as the Qing court's elbow to Yuan Shikai," said Cao Kun and asked, "This plan was conceived by Wang Shizhen?"

"Doesn't Sir often say that he knows the affairs of the world? Why don't you even know who cares most about the life and death of the commander?" Cao Kun was still angry, and sneered: "Wang Shizhen is now the governor of Jiangbei, and he won the appreciation of the Qing court because of the autumn exercise to quell the rebellion a year ago. ”

"What? It's Xu Shichang!" Obviously, this answer was out of Xu Changqing's expectations, he was stunned for a moment, stood up involuntarily, walked back and forth in the room a few times, and suddenly showed a hint of surprise on his face, and asked urgently: "Then Xu Shichang has mentioned this plan since he contacted Master Feng that time?"

Cao Kun was obviously confused by Xu Changqing's actions, shook his head involuntarily, and said: "Lord Xu said that this matter is all rotten in my heart, so I don't want to mention it again, in case there is a leak." After that, he seemed to have forgotten everything, and even Lord Feng said that Xu Shichang was very good at disguise. ”

"What kind of extremely good disguise? He doesn't know anything at all!" Xu Changqing snorted coldly, and said to himself: "Evil Yangzi, Evil Yangzi, you are hiding so deeply! No wonder you can destroy all the masters of * so lightly, it seems that everyone in the world says that you have not learned the ancient change technique of the Ten Transformation Demon Lords is fake, in my opinion, at least you have cultivated the method of human transformation." As he spoke, his expression was a lot more relaxed, and he looked at Cao Kun and said, "Cao Tong, is the time of the mutiny set by Xu Shichang the fifth day of the fifth month of May?"

Cao Kun's eyes widened, and he stammered, "You...... How do you ...... How do you know?"

"Okay! What a plan to kill two birds with one stone! It can not only increase the power of the magic spell by borrowing the evil spirit of the army, but also take this as an opportunity to solve the trouble of the Beiyang New Army and Yuan Shikai, as long as Yuan Shikai rebels, his qi vein will be separated from the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty, and even if he is killed, it will not damage the luck of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Good calculation! What a calculation!" Xu Changqing said to himself in admiration, then gathered Zhenyuan, stretched out his hand and slapped Cao Kun's forehead, untied his prohibition, and hugged his fist to Cao Kun and said: "Xu Mou was offended just now, I hope Cao is not strange!"

Cao Kun, who was unshackled, felt that his hands and feet could be controlled freely again, and he had already listed Xu Changqing as a person who could not be offended, where could he dare to blame him, not to mention that being able to make friends with such a strange person was also a guarantee for himself. So he restrained his arrogance, looked respectful, and also clenched his fists and saluted: "Where, where? Mr. Xu is too polite, just now I Cao Kun was confused, I don't know Taishan, I offended Mr. ”

"Cao Tong's mind is like a valley, I admire it!" Xu Changqing politely said two sentences, and then stepped into the main topic: "The Chen family and the Beiyang New Army have cooperated seamlessly for the past year, and it can be said that they are both prosperous and lossy, and we naturally will not want to see Lord Yuan fall down like this, so the next words, Cao Tongzhi must be carefully remembered." Saying that, his face became extremely stern, and he said: "No matter what method you use, you must inform Duan Feng and the two lords that you must not use a single soldier without permission, let alone implement any mutiny policy, and completely treat this matter as if this matter does not exist, and all the armies that were illegally recruited in the past will be disbanded, or reverted to a militia group." After that, he quietly became an official of the Qing Dynasty, waiting for the right time to assist Lord Yuan to come to power again. ”

"What? quietly be an official of the Qing Dynasty?" If it weren't for the fact that he had already tasted Xu Changqing's power, Cao Kun might have jumped up immediately and given Xu Changqing a beating, although he didn't dare to act rashly, his face was extremely uncertain, and he said coldly: "Don't we care if we just watch Wei Shuai suffer?"

"It's better to suffer than to die! Although he suffers now, he will not die, but if you make any rash moves, it will inevitably involve him, and then I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed!" Xu Changqing didn't like to explain more, and said: "You don't need to understand the meaning of my words, you just need to bring my words to Duan Feng and the two adults, as for whether you are willing to stop, that's your business!" But there is one thing you also have to consider, now the Qing court has begun to drastically reduce the military expenditure of your Beiyang New Army, and it is the Chen family that really supports your huge military spending, if you lose the support of the Chen family, I think even if you succeed in raising the army, it will not last, I hope you don't kill yourself. After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation outside the house and said, "That's all I say, Cao Tong, please!"

Seeing that Xu Changqing had given an eviction order, Cao Kun stood up and was about to go out, but when he walked to the door, he turned back and saluted Xu Changqing: "I often hear that Mr. Xu is good at the art of pushing fate and observing qi, I wonder if you can give me a sentence of life when Cao is leaving?"

Xu Changqing looked at Cao Kun, didn't say anything, raised his hand and calculated, although the luck of the northern heaven and earth has been chaotic at this moment, he can still vaguely calculate something, and said bluntly: "People's wealth has a fixed number, if the status of life reaches the extreme, then the next moment is the time of decay, don't be greedy for everything, you need to do what you can!"

Cao Kun chewed this sentence repeatedly, not understanding what it meant, but still nodded gratefully: "Thank you Mr. for your words, I will definitely bring Mr. before, as for whether the two adults will listen to Mr. 's words, it is not up to Cao to decide." ”

After saying that, Cao Kun turned around and pushed the door and walked out, took his coat from the hands of his subordinates who had been waiting outside the Accord, put on fake beards and sunglasses and other disguises, and walked towards Xingwu's door.

Not long after Cao Kun left, Long Jinbao walked in, and after saluting Xu Changqing, he thought for a while and said, "Master, the disciple has already decided, openly surrendered to the Regent's Palace, secretly established a good relationship with the Beiyang New Army, and stepped on two boats!

"You want to be offended on both sides!" Xu Changqing smiled and said, "This is not a lost way, but you have to grasp the balance between them, otherwise both sides will not please you, but it will be counterproductive." ”

"This disciple will be careful. Long Jinbao nodded in agreement.

"In that case, I should also get on the train, and I won't stay long!" Xu Changqing stood up, raised his hand to stop Long Jinbao's retention, and then took out the last two peach wood people from his sleeve, cut Long Jinbao's middle finger, and dripped two drops of blood on it, running the true yuan, and drew a stand-in puppet talisman with the blood drops of the peach wood people, and then chanted a spell and cast a spell, only to see that the face of the peach wood man gradually turned into the appearance of Long Jinbao. He handed the two stand-ins to Long Jinbao and said: "You are walking right, fishing is a partial door, the tree is a big wind, sooner or later there will be trouble to find the door, these two puppet peach wood people can be at a critical time, for you to make two disasters, you must be close to the close." ”

Long Jinbao hurriedly took the two peach wood people, and thanked them with a smile: "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

After coming out of Xingwu with Guan Zheng, Xu Changqing did not stay in Bazhou any longer, and went straight back to the train, then asked the carriage supervisor for a basin of water, closed the bedroom door, and asked Guan Zheng: "Brother Guan can lend me a little cinnabar?"

Guan Zheng didn't understand what Xu Changqing was going to do, so he just took out the cinnabar in the treasure chest and handed it to Xu Changqing, and then saw Xu Changqing draw two Qi Gathering Hidden Spirit Talismans on the door of the bedroom, and then saw him pinching the sword trick in his hand, pointed to the Dao Talisman urgently, and said in a deep voice: "E!"

I saw that the Dao Talisman immediately disappeared in the door of the compartment, and a pure Dao power emanated from the door, which could wrap the carriage well, and if other cultivators outside the compartment spied on, they could only spy on the dead objects in the compartment, but not the living people. This kind of method of gathering qi and concealing spirits, Guan Zheng will also cast it, but being able to grasp the scope of the spell so exquisitely is not something that ordinary people can do, even among the elders of the Guan family, there are only a few who can do it so hot. Recalling the name Long Jinbao said when he introduced him to Cao Kun, he couldn't help but remember that when he left home, his mother had mentioned one of the several masters in the cultivation world who needed attention, so he said tentatively: "I didn't expect the master to be the first ninth-rate idler in the outer door, Guan is really disrespectful." ”

Xu Changqing smiled faintly and said: "It's not that Changqing deliberately conceals it, it's just because my reputation as a ninth-rate idler is really not very good outside, and I was listed in the lower ninth-rate side door that I don't want to befriend, and Brother Guan is from a famous and authentic family, I'm afraid that if I tell my identity, I will lose a friend worth making, so I will deliberately hide it, and I hope Brother Guan is not strange!"

Guan Zheng didn't mind, and said with a smile: "I once said that our friendship lies in friendship, and other identities have nothing to do with me, but will I call you Master better in the future, or will I call you Mr. Xu better?"

"Brother Guan, make fun of me!" Xu Changqing said indifferently: "It doesn't matter how the name is called, it's just a false name, but compared to Mr. Xu, I still like Brother Guan to call me master!"

Guan Zheng nodded and said, "That's right, that's what I mean." ”

After solving Guan Zheng's matter, Xu Changqing put the basin on the table, and then took out a pen and paper from the compartment on the wall next to him and wrote something. After that, Xu Changqing calmed down, gathered the true yuan in his fingers, and quickly drew a Dao talisman with a faint silver light on the top of the water basin, followed by the fingers that gathered the true yuan, passed through the Dao talisman and pointed it on the water surface in the center of the water basin, and sent it into the water basin together with the Dao power of the true yuan and the Dao talisman. I saw that the water basin immediately spun as if it had been stirred by someone, and when all the water gathered around, and after the middle bottomed out, the middle of the water basin turned into nothingness, and a water mirror phantom appeared, and in the phantom was Sheng Lao, who had left Bazhou before.

When Xu Changqing saw that the phantom of Sheng Lao sitting in the carriage appeared in the water basin, he immediately picked up the note he had just written, threw it into the phantom, and said in a deep voice at the same time: "Heaven and earth are boundless, the water mirror sends a message, send!"

As Xu Changqing's Dao method was unleashed, the water around the basin suddenly jumped up, surrounded the middle together, covering the note and the phantom, as the water wave calmed down, the phantom and the note all disappeared, and the water basin returned to its original state.
