In a desperate situation, Qin Xiaotian picked up the baby, bowed to Li Lanhui, and said, "Miss Li, your son has kowtowed to you, please rest in peace." "Don't worry, I will raise your son to avenge you. Han Liuyun glanced at Li Lanhui affectionately for the last time, tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes, and he reluctantly left with Qin Xiaotian.

They took the baby back to their place, and the lean horse, still gnawing on the grass in a wasteland, jumped up and roared when he saw his master coming. Qin Xiaotian stepped forward to sort out the weeds on the thin horse, and said distressedly: "Horse, I have made you suffer." The thin horse shook his body and neighed, as if in response. Qin Xiaotian helped Han Liuyun get on the horse, glanced at the sleeping child in his arms a few times, stepped on the thin horse, and went to the direction of the capital.

After a few days, Qin Xiaotian and Han Liuyun have arrived in the capital. The capital is lively and prosperous, and the flow of people is like weaving. They walked through several avenues and came to Huo Kedong's secret liaison station. The door of the liaison station was closed, and Qin Xiaotian knocked on the door and asked, "Do you have any of you?" After a while, an old man came out and opened the door, looked at Qin Xiaotian with a blank eye, and said, "Who are you looking for?" Qin Xiaotian hugged his fists and asked politely: "Old man, excuse me, I am a friend of the Huo Sect Master, and I am from Zhangde." The old man patted his thigh and said, "It turns out to be a friend of the master of the Huo Gate, please come in!" The old man led the way, Qin Xiao **** looked outside the door a few times, and followed behind with Han Liuyun. The houses of the liaison posts were dilapidated and crumbling, as the local liaison posts did not have a permanent place to live, depending on the needs of the work. The old man asked Qin Xiaotian and Han Liuyun to sit down, and said with a smile: "The two of you sit down for a while, I'll pour you a cup of tea and come!"

Qin Xiaotian stood up uneasily, "I'm annoying the old man, I have something to worry about the master of the Huo Gate, I don't know ・・・・・・ him" The old man patted his head, look at my memory, I am really old and confused, I forgot to tell you, the Lord of the Huo Gate has something to go out early in the morning and will come back in the afternoon!

"Do you know what he's been up to lately?" Qin Xiaotian asked.

"Ah, I'm a subordinate, and I don't know anything about the master. So saying, he went to the kitchen.

After a while, the old man came in with two cups of hot tea, and said with a smile on his face: "Two, drink it while it's hot." ”

Qin Xiaotian said gratefully, "Old man, thank you. After a cup of tea, Huo Kedong came back with a few people, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Qin Xiaotian with a baby in his arms, and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, when are you overjoyed? Why don't you tell me?" Han Liuyun's face turned red and said: "Master Huo Men is really good at laughing, it's a long story!"

Miss Han, "How do you say this?" Qin Xiaotian said with a smile, "Brother Huo, let me speak slowly." "Actually, this baby is the son of a friend of mine, and she entrusted me with it on her deathbed, and I have to fulfill this wish for her. She let Yuan Shikai's men shoot and kill, Liuyun and I watched her die in front of us, but I was powerless to save her, I really deserved to die.

Huo Kedong stepped forward and patted Qin Xiaotian on the shoulder and comforted: "Xiaotian, I know you are very sad, as long as we are alive, one day we will take Yuan Shikai's head and avenge your friend." Huo Kedong turned around and said to the old man: "Uncle Kui, you go and arrange some wine and food, and tonight you will pick up the wind and wash the dust for Brother Qin and Miss Han!" The old man retreated and went back to the kitchen.

Qin Xiaotian untied the baby in his arms, the baby was still asleep, but he never knew that he had lost the person who loved him the most in the world. Han Liuyun took the child and held it in his arms. Inadvertently, she found a note in the child's pocket, opened it, and it turned out to be the child's Nian Geng: name: Li Shengmin, gender, male, born on August 25, the third year of Xuantong.

Huo Kedong said: "Please rest assured, Brother Qin, I have decided to raise this child to serve the country in the future." "Qin Xiaotian knelt on the ground and bowed, Brother Huo, I will leave this matter to you, come to the picture report. Now that the Killing Gate is slowly dispersed, because the whole country is fighting for Yuan, and there are our secret liaison stations all over the country, it is not difficult to raise a child.

After an hour, the meals were ready, Huo Kedong poured a full glass of wine for Qin Xiaotian, and then also poured himself a glass, "Brother Qin, today, we finally have the opportunity to get together, we have to have a few drinks!" "You are my Huo Kedong's life-saving benefactor, my life was saved by you, I will toast you first." After that, Huo Kedong drank it all. Qin Xiaotian thought: "Since stepping into the rivers and lakes, I haven't sat down to drink with my friends a few times calmly, nor have I been humble, and I drank it all in one cup. Late at night, after the banquet, Qin Xiaotian and Huo Kedong were both drunk, and they were helped back to the room by their subordinates to rest.

Early the next morning, after eating breakfast again, Huo Kedong took Qin Xiaotian into a secret room. Said: "Brother Qin, after Yuan Shikai's plan to assassinate Mr. Sun failed last time, he is now vigorously encircling and suppressing the revolutionary party. "Why don't we plan and plan to assassinate Yuan Shikai once?

Qin Xiaotian smiled: "That's great!" However, Yuan Shikai's old thief is scheming and won't succeed easily, so we have to think long-term. Huo Kedong thought for a long time, and said slowly: "Brother Qin's martial arts are the best in the world, and his light skills are also above the martial arts masters, so it is not difficult to kill a Yuan Shikai." Qin Xiaotian hugged his fists and said, "Brother Huo has won the award." "I am the courage of a horseman, a brave and unscrupulous person, as long as I am in line with Brother Huo's enemy, why worry about the old thief not being destroyed? At the moment, we have to find a way to find out Yuan Shikai's living habits and hobbies, which is beneficial and harmless to us.

Huo Kedong asked puzzledly: "Yuan Shikai is not a character that we can easily approach, what aspect do we have to work on?" Qin Xiaotian smiled: "I heard that Yuan Shikai is lustful by nature and likes calligraphy and painting, this is his fatality. "We might as well start from the calligraphy and painting exhibition hall of the most famous brothel restaurant in the capital, and wait for the opportunity, maybe there is still a chance.

On the third day, Qin Xiaotian dressed up in disguise and transformed into a rich child in the capital. He was handsome and dashing, and his aura was magnificent, Han Liuyun couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and sneered: "Brother Qin, you "Kuo Shao" in the capital, don't be fascinated by the beauties in the capital!" Qin Xiaotian grinned, are you jealous? I am on official business, so I have to do this. I'm afraid that if Yuan Shikai sees me, he will have to treat me differently. Han Liuyun pretended to be angry, "Who is jealous? I'm not, I'm afraid that the beauties in the whole capital will circle around you, and I can't deal with it." "Qin Xiaotian is very tall, I have to fight with Yuan Shikai for a woman and see this ****. Liuyun, I still have an idea, maybe I can trap Yuan Shikai.

Han Liuyun asked, "What's your idea?" Yuan Shikai also dreamed of getting the "Smoke and Rain Map of West Lake", if this picture reappeared in the rivers and lakes, he would definitely send troops to rob it. As he spoke, Qin Xiaotian slapped himself in the face, you see, how can I be so stupid! What kind of character is Yuan Shikai? He only needs one sentence, he should be decreed, and he can't do it, he can't do it!

Just as he was about to go out, Huo Kedong sent his subordinates and said to Qin Xiaotian: "Qin Xiaotian, these subordinates are decisive and smart, you can choose, just be your assistant." Qin Xiaotian thanked him, and a few assistants went out to find out the truth.

Qin Xiaotian went out, a rickshaw was waiting in the aisle not far away, and when he saw a "nobleman" coming out, he rushed over with joy and said with a smile: "This young master, where are you going?"

Qin Xiaotian smiled slightly, and said, "I can go wherever I want!" The coachman was stunned and said, "Master, you always have a place to go, the capital is so big, I'm afraid it won't be able to go around in ten days and a half months." Qin Xiaotian elegantly took out two pieces of ocean from his pocket, squeezed them in his hand, and said, "Master, is it enough?" The coachman was flattered and said, "Master, it's enough." "As long as the master wants to go, I will do it.

"That's good, that's good!" Qin Xiaotian said.

Master, do you know the most famous brothel in the capital? The coachman sneered and said, "The master also wants to go to the most famous brothel in the capital. ”

Suddenly, the coachman slowed down and whispered to Qin Xiaotian: "Master, you don't know, Yuan Shikai today, this is his favorite place to go." The Beijing brothel is the headquarters of the famous "Yimenglou" in the country, and the people who come there are either relatives of the emperor or high-class people, and Yuan Shikai is a frequent visitor there.

The coachman bypassed a few streets, came to the most prosperous place, pointed to the high-rise building opposite, and said: "Master, there is a big brothel in the capital opposite!" Qin Xiaotian got into the car and gave the coachman two oceans, and the coachman thanked him and went to another place.

Just as he was about to enter the door, an assistant suddenly came to report: "Qin Shaoxia, I have found out the whereabouts of the old thief, he just came last night." "When he came to this place, he brought very few guards, usually just a few close to his body and mind, so it was very beneficial for us to attack.

Qin Xiaotian smiled: "That's great, I'll go first and take a look." With that, he walked in in a grand manner. As soon as he entered, a few women dressed in fancy clothes came over, and when they saw Qin Xiaotian dressed as a rich man, they laughed and said, "This master, you are here to be merry and happy." ”

Qin Xiaotian also smiled and said: "You are all as beautiful as flowers, of course you are ・・・・・・"

A woman twisted her body to play Qin Xiaotian, and said angrily: "Master, what do you think of me?" Qin Xiaotian didn't look at her directly, who is the most famous in your courtyard? The woman let go of her hand, looking angry, and said, "Does Ye look down on me?" There are hundreds of sisters here, which one is not as delicate as a flower? The most popular recently is Sister Chunxiang, she is our number one, but you will die of this heart.

Qin Xiaotian asked curiously, "Why? The woman glanced at Qin Xiaotian, yo, look at what this young master said, if I say it, I'm afraid you will be scared.

Qin Xiaotian took it out of his arms, took out a few pieces of ocean, threw them in his hand, and said, "I'm scared, but it's okay to say that these oceans are yours." The woman's eyes are straight, but this young master is generous and has the appearance of a nobleman.

Our sister Chunxiang is the woman of Master Yuan today, and she no longer likes other men except for serving Master Yuan.

Qin Xiaotian sneered and said, "Is she? The woman took the ocean given by Qin Xiaotian and threw it in her hand, "What kind of character is Master Yuan? Don't you know, the Qing Dynasty is almost over, and he is the emperor." Qin Xiao genius found that this woman spoke openly, and she was a complete slut. Aren't you afraid that others will know about you when you talk like this? Otherwise, you will be killed. The woman's body trembled a few times, and she hurriedly changed her words and said, "Don't say it, thank you for the ocean!" As she spoke, she threw a wink at Qin Xiaotian and went to play with other men.

After noon, Qin Xiaotian had already inquired about Haruka's residence, he pretended not to know, pushed the door in, and Haruka was standing in front of the dresser to apply powder and grease. At a glance, I saw that her eyes were full of affection, and she looked like Xi Shi.

Qin Xiaotian asked in a friendly manner, "May I ask if it's Miss Lily?" Chunxiang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Sir, you have found the wrong person, I am not a lily girl." "We don't have that name here, so if you're welcome, you might as well sit down!"

Qin Xiaotian hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I found the wrong person, please don't mind the girl." Chunxiang pursed her lips and smiled, sir, you are too polite, at a glance, you know that you are a knowledgeable person, how about we make a friend? Qin Xiaotian was overjoyed in his heart, and thought to himself: "This woman doesn't have much heart, no wonder Yuan Shikai likes her so much." ”

Qin Xiaotian smiled slightly, and said, "It's an honor to be friends with the girl!" I don't know how to call the girl, and the contemptible person is called Tian Xiaoqing. In fact, Qin Xiaotian just pronounced his name upside down. The homophonic field of the day, the homophonic green of the piano.

She spoke and behaved well, smiled again, showed her white teeth like jade, and said, "What a name!"

"Ah, so your name is Haruka. "The name is poetic, and it's no wonder that it has a peerless face. As he was talking, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, and Chunxiang was startled and said, "Someone is coming, you can avoid it for the time being." Qin Xiaotian hurriedly hid behind the barrier, not daring to make a sound. A voice shouted outside the door, "Miss Chunxiang, are you there?" she answered as she put away her rouge, here she is, please wait a moment. The door opened, and it turned out to be Yuan Shikai's confidant, whom she recognized.

"My lord, what do you command?" Haruka asked.

Our Lord Yuan said that the revolutionary party has been rampant recently, so let the girl be careful. Chunxiang sighed and said, "Ah, thank you for your concern, I don't go out all day, where is the revolutionary party here?" After sending away Yuan Shikai's henchmen, Chunxiang remembered that "Tian Xiaoqing" was still inside. Then he shouted: "Mr. Tian, come out, the people have already left." Qin Xiaotian came out and asked, "Who are they, and what are they bothering you?"

Alas, I've been so annoyed recently, Yuan Shikai has taken a leave of absence from an aunt's wife, who comes to bother me almost every day. Chunxiang girl is in the blessing and does not know the blessing, if you don't have to care too much, there will be no troubles. Haruka seemed to understand his extraneous voice and thanked him repeatedly.

Qin Xiaotian looked at her and said, "Miss Chunxiang, it's time for me to go." Seeing that Qin Xiaotian was leaving, she ran forward and hugged him tightly like a friend who had long been familiar, and said gently: "Xiaoqing, don't you be in a hurry to go, just accompany me!" Qin Xiaotian turned around and looked at her affectionately, "I'm sorry, I still have something to do, I should go, and I will definitely visit the girl again another day." ”

Qin Xiaotian calmly went out to the door, and at a glance saw the coachman just now, he didn't seem to have much business, squatting in the corner and napping, Qin Xiaotian walked straight towards the liaison station.

He returned to the liaison station with a spring breeze on his face, and Han Liuyun noticed his strangeness and said, "Look at your happiness, I'm afraid you succeeded." Qin Xiaotian nodded, there was some score, but there was no progress. Some of the scores have not progressed, and ten percent of them have gone to pick flowers. Qin Xiaotian saw that she was very concerned, and deliberately teased: "Picking flowers and picking flowers, the most famous place in the capital, where the beauties and beauties gather, is also a common thing." ”

Huo Kedong said: "Brother Qin, don't make fun of the circle, otherwise, Miss Han will ignore you." "Okay, Brother Huo, I'll go straight to the topic, today, I met Yuan Shikai's lover Chunxiang in the big brothel in the capital. She said that Yuan Shikai recently divorced an aunt's wife, and she was very irritable, so she went to find her two days as scheduled. Especially if the night is too frequent, we can rush to do it at night, which should be the best time to assassinate Yuan Shikai. If we have time, we will do it in two days. Huo Kedong paced back and forth in the room, as if he was not fully sure of this matter, and said after a long time: "You must move when you do it, the key is that I am afraid that the time is not yet ripe!"

Qin Xiaotian thinks that his words are very reasonable, Yuan Shikai is not an ordinary opponent, his henchmen are all martial arts masters, not to mention that they all have guns on their bodies, if the assassination operation fails, they will be killed. Brother Huo, let's think about this matter again, Chunxiang is always ****, if it weren't for the desire for merit, how could she be mixed with Yuan Shikai? Chunxiang is still not enough to believe.

"Yes, I'll send my men to spy on Haruka secretly. Hawker said.

After the order went down, Huo Kedong invited Qin Xiaotian to drink, and when he came back, Qin Xiaotian said angrily: "Brother Huo, that Chunxiang is actually quite pitiful, but it's just Yuan Shikai's plaything." Huo Kedong smiled, Xiaotian, I see that you are fascinated by her, but maybe she can help us.

The next day, the spy came back and reported: "The owner of the door, I didn't notice any movement in Haruka, and stayed in the house every day. "That Chunxiang is both talented, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knows everything. Huo Kedong smiled, no wonder Yuan Shikai liked her so much. In this case, we have an opportunity to get rid of this heinous thief.
