Chapter 426 Oolong
As the sun was setting, Zhao Erxun stood on the platform of Fengtian Railway Station, watching Xiliang board the train to Shanhaiguan with two or three old servants and his family.

Xiliang left and returned to Huixian County, Huifu, his hometown in Henan Province, to recuperate.

"Ugh..."

Black smoke came out of the locomotive, and the dragon-like train took Zhao Erxun's gaze all the way west.

"My lord, is it true that Master Xiliang has resigned to cultivate himself?" Zhao Erxun's confidant adviser saw his master look away, so he took a chance and asked.

"Except for the position of consultant at the Bute Institute, this time I have completely resigned."

This counselor is called Yuan Jinkai, and he was one of the top ten traitors wanted by the government of the Republic of China during the Republic of China. Considered to be one's own protégé.

"Bide Courtyard!" Yuan Jinkai also looked at the train going away with a little envy. The Manchus really treated the Manchus preferentially. In May of this year, although the Qing court did not agree to a constitution, it was also on May 5, 1911. The so-called responsible cabinet system was implemented, and a new cabinet composed of thirteen ministers of state was established, with Prince Qing Yikuang as the prime minister. Among the 5 people, nine were Manchus, and among them, the Manchu royal family accounted for seven.This is a cabinet composed of the Manchu royal family as the center, and people call it the "royal cabinet" or "the cabinet of relatives and nobles".

In addition to the establishment of the cabinet, there was also the establishment of the Bute Academy at the same time, and the powers were maintained with the cabinet. That is to say, future cabinet members will be selected from the Bute Academy first. The last number one scholar Lu Runxiang and Mongolian Rong Qing served.

At this moment, Yuan Jinkai was very envious of these identities who were born with a higher status than himself, but then he thought of his status as a counselor and aide, and asked Zhao Erxun, "My lord, is this Han Yao?"

Before going to Kanto to take office, Zhao Erxun actually discussed with Yuan Jinkai many times. Hanyao's influence in Kanto is getting bigger and bigger. This is not a good signal, but how to control this risk in their hands, the two have different opinions. Unite.

"Your opinion is actually very good. Hanyao can't blindly let it go on like this in Kanto, but you have heard Xiliang's words. This matter needs to be considered. Xiliang is right, move Hanyao, and lead one." Xu Shichang and Xiliang can tolerate it. I can too! Besides, isn’t Xiliang also a lot of tricks for Han Yao left for me?” Zhao Erxun thought about Xiliang’s words before he left.

I thought to myself, this fierce old stubborn can bear it, why can't I, but the thought in my heart is that Xiliang has changed, and has changed to hide his edge, not as fierce as in the Yunnan-Guizhou period, Kanto, it is really the same as before complicated.

palace
"Master, Uncle Chuanwen is here!" Lao Jiang hurried from the door to the yard where Gong Baosen was practicing martial arts, and said to Gong Baosen who was wearing a traditional black training suit and was gesticulating inside.

"Who told you to call him that?" Gong Baosen paused for a moment, almost losing his temper, and suddenly his face turned black.

"Here, you...I..." Old Jiang was silent for a moment, thinking that you didn't say it when you were drunk a few days ago?It is said that the Zhu family is powerful now, but one day the Gong family will have to look up to the Zhu family, and he recognizes Zhu Chuanwen as the uncle with his nose.Sober up, why don't you admit it?Old Jiang couldn't figure it out.

"Give me the knife, I'm going to chop this kid!" Gong Baosen was about to walk outside in a hurry, but stopped at the door again, and said viciously to Old Jiang.

"My lord, the knives at home are useless!"

"The gun! I'll pierce the guts of this kid!" Gong Baosen said it was a traditional spear.

"My lord, the gun is gone, all the boxes have been sealed!" Old Jiang dare not really give it to Gong Baosen, the Gong family who has run the escort agency, how could the Gong family who has inherited martial arts really do not have these things, but at this time he took When he came out, according to Lao Jiang's own analysis, he was probably the one who was galled to bleed out the green pulp.

Gong Baosen just gave up, walked towards the door, first took two quick steps, then seemed to think of something, slowed down, and slowly walked towards the door with his hands behind his back.

Zhu Chuanwen was standing at the door, looking inside with his head stretched out. In the past, he was always let in first. How could Gong Ruomei be different after returning home during the Chinese New Year?Looking around and seeing no one, Zhu Chuanwen looked at the clothes on his body, smoothed them with his hands, then looked at the guards around him, and said, "Baby, come and give me these things."

A tower-like man beside Zhu Chuanwen was carrying things in both hands, including food and drink, even a piece of cloth under his armpit.

Hearing this, the man hurriedly handed the things to Zhu Chuanwen, his expression relaxed as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and he looked to the left and right.

It was Zhu Chuanwen who mentioned these things to his hands and spent a while in a daze.

A sharp figure jumped down from the wall of the gate of the palace, with a hand like an eagle's claw, it went straight to Zhu Chuanwen's throat.

The man known as the eighth man stood in front of Zhu Chuanwen fiercely, and slapped him.The eagle claws that locked the throat instantly melted into palms, and the two figures stepped back a few steps. The old eight quickly took out a pistol from his waist, and the guards around Zhu Chuanwen also blocked Zhu Chuanwen's surroundings in this flash of lightning.

"Old Ba!" Zhu Chuanwen yelled.

At the same time, there was a "ba" gunshot, and the bullet flew past Gong Baosen's cheek.

Gong Baosen's face suddenly became embarrassed.

"Uncle Gong, are you alright?" Zhu Chuanwen squeezed out from the crowd, and hurriedly stood beside Gong Baosen. The old man was obviously frightened by the battle, and after a long while, he slowly uttered a word Son: "It's okay."

And then, Old Jiang appeared behind Gong Baosen, half of the dagger at his waist had been unsheathed, but looking at the crowd at the gate, he really didn't know what to do.

The sound of the gunshot instantly drew attention to the gate of the palace. Gong Baosen looked at the crowd who were about to see the excitement, and said, "Go in!"

The courtyard of the Palace Mansion is very large, Gong Baosen walked straight towards the main courtyard with a sullen face, Zhu Chuanwen behind him was still carrying big bags and small bags, and the guards around him stayed at every step, looking around vigilantly.

"Old Jiang, arrange a place for my guards to rest." Seeing Gong Baosen enter the courtyard, Zhu Chuanwen said to Old Jiang beside him.

"Teacher!" Lao Ba was very excited.

"It's okay, just kidding!" Zhu Chuanwen patted Lao Ba's shoulder with one hand.

Zhu Chuanwen's guards are now the top hunters, and the old eighth has been trained under Zhu Kaishan for several years. According to Zhu Kaishan, if the old eighth can be recruited by the sect when he was young, he must be a "lizi" figure of the sect , Lao Zhu is a little envious of this talent for practicing martial arts.Lao Ba was rescued by Wang Keren in Jinmen, and came to Bingcheng. Hanyao Hospital even performed an operation on Lao Ba's mother. According to Lao Ba's words, this life belongs to the Zhu family.

Old Jiang didn't know what to say at this time, he had fired a gun just now, what's going on between the old man and his son-in-law.

Seeing that the guard followed Lao Jiang away, Zhu Chuanwen shook his head with a wry smile, pouted his mouth and moved vigorously to the left and right, as if he had moved the muscles on his face, and then a flattering face appeared, facing the palace Go to the main hall.

Pushing aside the gauze curtain with his body sideways, "Uncle Gong!" The cry made Gong Baosen get goose bumps all over his body.

Gong Baosen turned his back to Zhu Chuanwen with his hands behind his back, but he said: "Man, that's right, I was still thinking about letting Lianshan go to Kanto to follow you, it seems that there is no need."

Hearing these words, Zhu Chuanwen let go of his heart hanging in his throat. All he knew was that Gong Ruomei's father and daughter were not happy when they returned home for the Chinese New Year. He took a bite of the chicken leg, patted his small chest in the porcelain house and said, "Brother Chuanwen, don't worry, as long as my father can't lock me up, I will come to Bingcheng to find you."

Now, everyone is happy.

"Uncle Lianshan now?" Zhu Chuanwen thought of that familiar face, and couldn't help but think: riding a monkey on a tree...

"He has something to do!" Gong Baosen watched Zhu Chuanwen put down his things one by one, and cast a questioning look.

"Uncle Gong, this is the cloth that Ruomei wove by herself. She said it was for you to make some underwear for you to wear in rotation. This is a pie made from the fruit we grew in the greenhouse in Bingcheng, but it may have been broken just now. This is Laoshan Ginseng, this is velvet antler, this is..." Zhu Chuanwen introduced them one by one, anyway, everything is inextricably related to Gong Ruomei.

"Hmph, I think you prepared it! This heartless girl!" Gong Baosen cursed, but his hands started to rub against the piece of cotton cloth. Such uneven layers seemed to be done by a novice. The son is happy.

"Ruomei still cares about you very much in Bingcheng, Uncle Gong, why don't you follow me back to Bingcheng this time?"

"Back to Ice City? Do you think I'm leaving now?" Gong Baosen said instead.

"kindness?"

"The governor ordered me to be the chief guard of the governor's mansion, and I have to be on duty every other day!" Gong Baosen said.

"Xiliang?" Zhu Chuanwen narrowed his eyes slightly, but the cold light flashed.

Gong Baosen actually saw Zhu Chuanwen's killing intent in his eyes, and his heart trembled slightly.Sure enough, has the Zhu family expanded to such an extent now?But when he calmed down, he said: "Lord Xiliang is like this, and so is the new Master Zhao."

"Uncle Gong, it's okay, I'll talk about it." Zhu Chuanwen embraced him.

"But what if I don't want to go?" Gong Baosen said.

"Uncle Gong, Bingcheng is safer."

"Don't worry, we are old acquaintances, and I won't embarrass me as a warrior." Gong Baosen sighed, now, even if he wants to leave, he can't. Of course he has to, but it's okay, but serious He came to Bingcheng to look up to Zhu's family, but he was unwilling from the bottom of his heart.

"Well, if Uncle Gong insists on this, I will leave a contact information for you. If there is something wrong, someone will take care of it." Zhu Chuanwen didn't force him anymore, probably because he thought of the last bit of pride that Gong Baosen had left.

"By the way, Senior Brother Kaishan has written about your marriage with Ruomei. In July of this year, I want Ruomei to marry into your Zhu family in a dignified way."

"Don't worry, Uncle Gong, I won't treat Ruomei badly."

"That's good, let's marry from Fengtian, it will also reassure some people." Gong Baosen said, he can't go to Bingcheng to participate, but he has to watch his daughter go out from the palace gate.

"Well, I will personally marry you." Zhu Chuanwen was noncommittal.

"You didn't come to Fengtian just to see me this time, did you? Every time your Zhu family changes governors, you are always one step ahead. This time you came to see Mr. Zhao?"

"Uncle Gong, it's true, but Xiliang gave me a final order." Zhu Chuanwen said, in the past, he would never say anything to Gong Baosen, but now his identity is different. .

"what's up?"

"It is said that the Jin-Ai Railway will be handed over to Hanyao to build it."

"Railway? Can your Zhu family build railways now?" Gong Baosen asked in surprise.

"It is possible, but if all the railways covering more than 2000 miles are built, Hanyao will not have to do anything in the next few years."

"Xiliang is already in the past, let's do it according to Mr. Zhao's idea." Gong Baosen has worked in the palace for many years, and he understands the principle that one emperor and one courtier. When Cixi was about to die, Guangxu wooed him just to see Will Gong Baosen bet on it?

"I think Zhao Erxun will have the same idea." Zhu Chuanwen said.

"Oh?" Gong Baosen was very curious, but no one told him these things, of course, he didn't care.Paying attention to these things might as well watch his disciples practicing martial arts.

"They want to use me as a spy right now. I belong to the forces of the Russians. Uncle Gong, even though the insurance team and Dad's new army are both suppressing bandits, they are famous, but in fact, I am in these places. The governor of Kanto is actually a Russian glove in his heart. Maybe Xu Shichang regards me as his own." Zhu Chuanwen talked about his current situation.

Why do you sometimes have constant conflicts with the Japanese? Isn’t it just that you are constantly showing your identity to the Russians? Look, I’m doing the expansion of the power you explained. The Japanese are afraid of Han Yao, but they are also wooing Han Yao , Don't you just want to draw him into your sphere of influence?

"So Master Xiliang and Master Zhao want to draw you towards the court?" Gong Baosen grasped the key point.

"Maybe." Zhu Chuanwen said uncertainly. He had actually thought about it in his heart. If the railway from Jinzhou to Taonan started construction, the Japanese would definitely not be happy at first. The only way to delay this matter is to move the black province at most. The railway from Bingcheng to Qiqi City in the territory, or the railway in Hei Province, he didn't want to be bombed all of a sudden while sitting on the train.

"Chuanwen, you still have to be careful, Hanyao is like a sweet pastry at this time, I think everyone wants to have a bite!" Gong Baosen said.

"Uncle Gong whom I know, whoever dares to come, will knock out his teeth!" Zhu Chuanwen said optimistically.

On the second day after coming to Fengtian, Zhu Chuanwen formally met with Zhao Erxun with the step-by-step construction plan of the Jin-Ai Railway.
