Chapter 125: Lip and Tongue Argument (II)

Zaifeng gritted his teeth, stood up suddenly, stared at Xu Changqing for a long time with a gloomy face, and then said word by word: "Xu Changqing, you said so much just to want this king to help you stop his plan against the sky." You keep saying that if he succeeds against the sky, my Qing Dynasty will perish, but don't you just want my Qing Dynasty to perish? Doesn't this just happen to your heart?"

In the face of Zaifeng's questioning, Xu Changqing looked extremely calm, and said slowly: "Why does the prince think that I want to let the Manchus perish? I am a cultivator, and the worldly power disputes will only become my burden, the reason why I helped the Chen family in the past is just to repay the teacher's personal debts, and the Chen family does not mean to die in the Manchu Dynasty, this must be the most clear to Zhang Lao, otherwise he would have led his troops to attack Chen Jiachong back then, instead of cooperating with the Chen family, buying foreigner machinery and building factories." ”

Obviously, Zaifeng didn't know what Xu Changqing mentioned in his words, so he looked at Zhang Zhidong and showed an inquiring look. Zhang Zhidong, who had been speechless, nodded slightly, and said, "Back then, Lafayette did order me to monitor the Chen family, and if there was any change, I would destroy it at any cost." However, later the old man knew that the Chen family had no objection, so he played Lafayette and secretly cooperated with the Chen family to build a factory, which Lafayette also agreed. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Zhidong walked to the side of the room, opened a secret compartment hidden in the wall of the room, took out a few sorted secret letters from it, and handed them to Zaifeng. Zaifeng took it and saw that the text on the letter was Cixi's own handwriting, saying that he agreed to Zhang Zhidong's cooperation with the Chen family, but he still had to secretly monitor closely and something like that, and there was a seal stamped by Cixi's unique Empress Dowager jade seal at the end. The other is a personal letter from Emperor Guangxu hoping to befriend Xu Changqing through Guò Zhang Zhidong, which probably contains the content of hearing about Xu Changqing's talent and hoping that he can come out to help him change the law, and the date is a week before the decision to change the law.

After putting down the letter in his hand, Zaifeng's attitude towards Xu Changqing became less hostile, but he still looked at Xu Changqing coldly and asked: "Since Mr. Xu said that secular disputes are your burden, then why does Mr. still have to go through this troubled water? And what does Mr. mean by deliberately letting the Chen family make friends with the Beiyang Army and the revolutionary rebel party?"

Xu Changqing knew that the matter had almost succeeded, so he asked rhetorically: "Presumably, the prince should have heard about the Heaven and Earth Tribulation from the mouth of the Xuangang Heavenly Demon, right?"

Zaifeng nodded and said, "He mentioned one point, saying that as long as the fortune can be changed against the sky, the Heaven and Earth Tribulation will not affect my Qing Dynasty's national fortunes." ”

"Hmph! He can only lie to you worldly people, if the Heaven and Earth Tribulation can be avoided so lightly, then it will not be a Heaven and Earth Tribulation. Xu Changqing sneered and continued: "I can tell you the truth, the day of the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is the time when my Chinese catastrophe begins, and at that time, not only the secular world will be involved in the catastrophe, but even my cultivation realm will not be able to escape the catastrophe. Although I don't know what kind of catastrophe I will face, I am sure that the outcome will be nine deaths. If the Xuangang Heavenly Demon succeeds in changing his fortune against the sky, the Manchu Dynasty will perish immediately, and the catastrophe will come in advance, let alone me, I am afraid that the vast majority of cultivators will be involved. ”

"According to you, we're allies!" Zaifeng said with a self-deprecating sneer.

That's right. Xu Changqing was expressionless, and said indifferently: "These days, I think you should also be aware of it, Lord Wang, with the arrival of the plan against the sky, the domestic disputes are getting bigger and bigger. This morning, I also read the morning paper, if my guess is correct, the person who secretly plotted to force the Beiyang Army to rebel should be the Xuangang Heavenly Demon!" Lord Wang, you may not know that the qi of the Beiyang Army and the national fortune of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are connected to each other, the Beiyang Army is over, and the national fortune of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will be almost the same, and then the revolutionary party in the south will rise up with the trend, and the Xuangang Heavenly Demon can use the power of changing fortune to resist the catastrophe, and then mix into the revolutionary party, relying on the luck of the revolutionary party, reborn after calamity, and achieve the way of the demon god. ”

Regarding Xu Changqing's words, Zaifeng had already believed ninety percent at the moment, coupled with the suppression of Xuangang Heavenly Demon's various rights to him before, as well as the accumulated resentment of being placed in front of the stage by Xuangang Heavenly Demon as a substitute for the dead ghost and bearing the pressure from all sides, he didn't think much about it, slapped the table hard, and asked in a deep voice: "Don't say it again! You sue me directly, how can we cooperate?"

Xu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, smiled slightly, and brought a cup of tea to Zaifeng from another teapot, and said, "You drink this cup of tea first, and remove the Gu that Xuangang Heavenly Demon planted in your body!"

In the small building of Zhang's mansion, Zaifeng stayed in it for more than an hour, and the people outside the attic heard fierce quarrels from inside from time to time, and then saw Zaifeng go straight out, and after getting into the sedan chair, he left Zhang's mansion and walked towards Feng Guozhang's mansion. Because Zaifeng's face was much gloomy than before he came, many people thought that Zhang Zhidong must have embarrassed him a lot, and even some people with a heart were not easy to ask. When Zaifeng left Zhang's mansion, Xu Changqing and Zhang Zhidong were standing in front of the windowsill in the attic, silently watching him disappear from the street, Xu Changqing's expression was relaxed, and Zhang Zhidong's expression was particularly solemn.

"Changqing, how much of what you said just now is true?" Zhang Zhidong suddenly asked.

"True and false, true and false, even I can't figure it out myself. Xu Changqing did not give a positive answer, he was vague, and then said to Zhang Zhidong with a slightly concerned tone: "Old Zhang, you have worked for the Manchu Qing Dynasty all your life, it's time to rest." ”

"Rest, how easy is it!" Zhang Zhidong smiled bitterly, paused for a moment, and then asked: "You said before that Lafayette and the first emperor are still alive, but they are the living dead, is that true?"

Xu Changqing nodded and said, "It's true! ”

"The old man has a condition," Zhang Zhidong suddenly said with a solemn expression: "If you Xu Changqing have the ability, you will save the bodies of Lafayette and the first emperor." I don't know where their souls have gone, but there must be a proper arrangement for my body, and this is the last obligation I can fulfill as a courtier. ”

Looking at Zhang Zhidong with a resolute face, Xu Changqing sighed, nodded slightly, and agreed.
