20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 170 Shen Shi·Beita gathers together again

Fengtian, North Tower.

Baoguo Textile Factory was bombed. After Zhao Guoyan checked the damage, he followed Jiang Xiaodao's instructions and walked to the vicinity of the North Tower because he had nowhere to go.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government spent a lot of effort building its capital here.

The old Shengjing is circular on the outside and square on the inside, with a solemn treasure temple built in each of the four positive directions: southeast, northwest, and southeast.

Each temple has a big Buddha, two left and right Buddhas, eight Bodhisattvas, four heavenly kings, and a pagoda, all in the style of Tubo Buddhism.

In the east is the bright lantern of wisdom, named Yongguang Temple; in the south is the common people of Pu'an, named Guangci Temple; in the west is the temple dedicated to the saints and longevity, named Yanshou Temple; in the north is the circulation of Zhengfa, named Falun Temple.

Unfortunately, due to the national calamity of Gengzi, Tsarist Russia moving south, the war between Japan and Russia, and numerous wars, the Buddhist statues, scriptures, ritual instruments, and murals were already in dilapidated condition.

The four Buddhist temples and pagodas were originally intended to awe the world and protect the country and the people.

Now that the Buddhist temples have been destroyed, it seems inevitable that the country will be destroyed and the people will be in chaos.

There are no monks in the dilapidated buildings of Falun Temple in the North Tower. People nearby sometimes temporarily store dead bodies, coffins, or ashes that have nowhere to bury them, and use them as half a charity village. Therefore, even during the day, there are It looks ghostly.

The area around the pagoda is overgrown with grass, and few people approach it.

In the treasure hall, there is still an incomplete "six-armed Mahakala". According to legend, Guanyin Bodhisattva felt that all living beings are entangled by demons, so he transformed into Mahakala and subdued demons.

He has great kindness and compassion on the inside, but looks angry on the outside!
It seems that even if gods and Buddhas save the world, they can take action and try not to force it.

It is unknown whether innocent people will be harmed.

The reason why "Ebi Owl" is registered is for this reason.

If the kiln smashing is successful, the explosives in the Baoguo Textile Factory can be detonated in advance, enough to blow up all the machines.

If the smashing of the kiln fails, a bundle of explosives must be separated from it and used to blow up the Chamber of Commerce. It is inevitable that the city gate will catch fire and the fish in the pond will be affected; and the textile factory will also have to blow up people to bring maximum losses to the Bai family.

When Zhao Guoyan came here, he felt a gloomy wind, and he couldn't tell whether it was reality or imagination.

After waiting like this for several hours, the first person to come back was Lao Qigong Baonan.

The horse's hooves came up with dust, and when he got closer, Gong Baonan saw Zhao Guoyan's figure clearly, so he quickly reined in his horse and stopped.

"Call-"

Gong Baonan got off his horse and asked directly: "Where is the trail?"

"Probably going to the Chamber of Commerce." Zhao Guoyan replied.

"I know that." On his way here, Gong Bao Nan had already heard rumors in the city that the Chamber of Commerce was bombed and Bai Baochen was killed. "It's already this time and he hasn't come back yet?"

"Then I don't know. Brother Dao asked me to wait for him here."

Gong Baonan weighed it in his mind and asked, "Have you seen Guan Wei?"

"No." Zhao Guoyan replied truthfully, "When I got here, it was just after Chen hour and I didn't see anyone else."

Gong Baonan smacked his lips and frowned, looking a little anxious.

While the two were talking, two more figures wandered over from the south. Looking closer, they turned out to be Zhong Yushan and "Chuan'erhong"'s men, the brothers who smashed the kiln.

The four of them met and introduced their respective situations to each other.

After Zhong Yushan and the two men broke open the Bai family kiln, Jiang Chenghai asked them to run away first. They did not leave, but went outside to check on the injury of Sun Chengmo, the third child. As a result, Gong Baonan, the seventh child, fired a warning shot, and the two of them When he saw Bai Guoping leading people to kill him, he hurried away and escaped from danger.

Although the two of them were not well informed, they knew that if there was such a big commotion, the city would definitely be in turmoil. No matter whether it was "Heshengfang" or "Huifangli", they could not go back, so they had to come according to the previous plan. See you at the North Tower.

"What's going on with Third Brother?" Gong Baonan asked.

Zhong Yushan shook his head helplessly, made signs on his neck, and said, "I wasn't hit, but my neck was grazed by the gun, and blood started to pour out. When we passed by, I was getting cold."

Gong Baonan cursed in a low voice, not knowing what to do.

Just at this moment, there were footsteps coming not far away.

Everyone looked up and saw a salesman wearing a tattered cotton-padded jacket and a straw hat, leading a horse. He took two tentative steps forward, then seemed to have made up his mind and hurriedly quickened his pace.

Gong Baonan narrowed his eyes and immediately saw that it was Guan Wei, so he immediately stepped forward angrily.

"Lao Qi, you are here..."

Before Guan Wei finished speaking, Lao Qi's big hand suddenly grabbed his throat, and dragged the sixth brother to the broken wall of Falun Temple. His left hand grabbed Guan Wei's arm and pressed it against it. on the wall.

"Fuck...Old Seven...are you crazy?" Guan Wei said with a grin.

Although he is the sixth brother, he is far inferior to the seventh brother in terms of pure force.

"Where is Zhou Yunfu? Tell me!" Gong Baonan asked sharply, "I just came back from the south of the city. There is no one in the secret house at all. You stepped on the plate. Did you leak it?"

"I...I missed you!" Guan Wei had difficulty breathing.

The other brothers all knew that Jiang Chenghai was looking into the old man's secret house. Although they had some vague suspicions, they didn't know exactly what they wanted.

The assassination of Zhou Yunfu was a secret mission assigned to Lao Qi by his eldest brother, and only Lao Liu Guanwei knew the exact location of the secret house.

Zhao Guoyan and Zhong Yushan didn't even know why, and now they went over to start a fight out of instinct.

"Hey, hey, seventh brother, seventh brother, don't do this!"

"What's going on? Let's talk to you if you have anything to say. Let's not make a mess on our own first!" "Brother Six must be fine. Without him, we wouldn't be able to open the Bai family kiln!"

Everyone tried to persuade him to no avail, and they couldn't understand why Lao Qi was so excited.

As the saying goes, there is no leader and the eldest brother Jiang Chenghai is not around. It seems that the rope between the brothers cannot be twisted.

"Don't stop me, let them do it!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the southeast.

Jiang Xiaodao happily rode his tall horse and came closer. He leaned over and was curious: "I have long wanted to see who the two of them are!"

"Trail?"

Guan Wei and Gong Baonan said in unison, quickly let go and separated, asking in unison: "Are you okay?"

"Hahahahahaha! It's okay, it's okay!" Jiang Xiaodao's eyes slitted with joy, "I feel quite happy, you two keep doing it, just to add to the fun!"

The two uncles looked at each other - what's going on with this kid, is he crazy?

"Xiaodao, why did it take you so long to come back?" Gong Baonan couldn't help but ask, "Is everything cleared at the Chamber of Commerce?"

"It's clear! Bai Baochen's old man's intestines flowed all over the floor, which made me collapse. Not only him, but everyone!" Jiang Xiaodao looked slightly satisfied, then looked at Guan Wei and asked, "Uncle Six, didn't you let me Did you run away, and why are you back?"

Guan Wei held his throat and coughed twice, but said: "If I just leave like this, it would be too ungrateful. If we want to leave, let's all go together!"

Gong Baonan glanced at him and said nothing.

Jiang Xiaodao shook his head on the horse and said with a smile: "Uncle Six, you are just thinking too hard. Although Bai Baochen died and the textile factory exploded, Bai Guoping is still alive! I won't leave!"

Gong Baonan immediately retorted: "No, the city is too dangerous now. There is no point in staying. There are too few of us."

"Bah! You coward!" Guan Wei was still angry and immediately cursed, "I think you are addicted to being a deserter. If something happens, you just want to run away!"

Jiang Xiaodao has been listening to the quarrels and bickering between his sixth uncle and his seventh uncle since he was a child, and he didn't take it seriously for a while.

Little did he know that Guan Wei was still angry and deliberately touched Lao Qi's forbidden words. What's more, he didn't expect that Gong Baonan, in a rare rage, took out his pistol and pointed it at Guan Wei's face.

"If you dare, say it again." Gong Bao's voice was as cold as ice.

Guan Wei didn't dare to say anything anymore, he could feel that Lao Qi was murderous.

When Zhao Guoyan, Zhong Yushan and others saw this, they did not dare to stop him easily. They were afraid that if they were not careful, their guns would go off and Guan Wei would be killed.

The atmosphere was suddenly tense.

Jiang Xiaodao had never seen this before, and his heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Hey! Qi Shu, you don't have to be cool when you're joking! Give your eldest nephew some face, you can pull him off! We are about to hire people now, how about we wait? Now that this matter is over, you want to kill him again?"

After a moment of stalemate, Gongbao Nan's heart softened, and he cursed "thief", then put down his pistol and walked straight into Falun Temple without saying a word.

Although Guan Wei knew that he was at fault first, but when his brother pointed a gun at him, he felt more chilled than afraid, so he lowered his head with a frown on his face.

Once a crack appears, you can no longer pretend that nothing happened.

The so-called reconciliation has never existed in this world.

Perhaps, even the two of them realized at this time how important the existence of the "Old Owl" was to the brothers.

When Jiang Xiaodao saw this, he couldn't help but think of his aunt Xu Ruqing.

If she were here, she would be able to resolve the embarrassment in front of her with just a few words.

Unfortunately, "Owl" and "Chuan'erhong" are not here, so Jiang Xiaodao can only rely on himself to win everyone back together.

"Uncle Six, why are you dressed like this?"

"Oh!" Guan Wei came to his senses and hurriedly went to lead the horse and take away the layer of firewood spread on the basket. "I just went to the city to prepare some ammunition, so I won't use it again if something happens."

"Uncle Liu is still thoughtful." Jiang Xiaodao tried to comfort him lamely, "Now that everything is in order, we can continue to act."

"Brother Dao, what are your plans?" Zhao Guoyan and Zhong Yushan asked.

Jiang Xiaodao patted his belly and said: "My plan is very simple, just have a full meal first! Hey! Why are you looking at me like this? What time is it? It's three o'clock. I've been busy all day. Su, aren’t you hungry?”

It's okay not to say it. As soon as he said it, everyone's stomach started to growl.

Guan Wei shook his head and said hurriedly: "This can't work. Now everyone in the city is looking for us. I dressed up like this and was frightened on the way back. We can't take risks!"

"Then let Guo Yan buy it back!" Jiang Xiaodao jokingly said, "You are a 'dead person' anyway, and not many people know about you. It's just a good time to buy something back, and by the way, you can go to the city and give it to my aunt and the others. A telegram, in a little while, they should be arriving in southern Liaoning, right?"

"It should be soon." Guan Wei murmured in a low voice, "But Xiaodao, are you really okay?"

"Hahahaha! Uncle Six, you are so funny. I am not good at this. What can happen!"
