20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 80 Clear out
After leaving Jiangzhai, Tan Renjun and Liu Yansheng returned on foot.

The cold winter in the North makes the two southerners, the master and the apprentice, very uncomfortable.Every time the cold wind howled like a razor blade, the two of them couldn't help but shrink their necks and curl up into a ball, almost jogging all the way to the inn.

Liu Yansheng covered his ears, which were red from the cold, and asked: "Master Dad, what do you think of 'Owl' and 'Chuan'erhong'?"

Tan Renjun shook his head slightly disappointedly: "It seems that we can't rely on him for the time being."

Liu Yansheng counted on his fingers: "We have met almost all the people we should meet in Fengtian. The Bai family, the Su family, and other respectable people. Now only Zhou Yunfu is missing. Will they introduce us?"

"Probably." Tan Renjun is not sure, "However, I heard that Zhou Yunfu is suspicious by nature and in poor health. Even if he is introduced, he may not meet us."

"Master Dad, in my opinion, our affairs may not be possible in Fengtian."

"You bastard! What depressing words are you talking about!"

"But, now it seems that only the young master of the Su family is willing to support us, and no one else is responding."

"If Jianghu is not good, there is still Green Forest, and at least there is Commander Wei of the New Army."

Liu Yansheng still firmly believed in his judgment, but he no longer dared to refute it.

Jiang Xiang's gang rules are very strict, and the hierarchy within the sect is very clear. No matter what, everyone must be ranked based on seniority. If you challenge someone randomly, you will inevitably be severely punished.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Jiang Xiaodao's momentum.

Tan Renjun thought for a moment and felt helpless.

"There's nothing we can do about it. There have been wars in Kanto for years and gangs are rampant. They have just lived a few years of peace. It's normal that they don't want to risk their lives easily. But it won't take long, at most two or three years, when the strong winds blow up. , none of these respectable people can stay out of the matter."

No one could have imagined that the two masters and apprentices, who were weak in power, were secretly discussing something that would end up destroying the whole plan.

Although Jiang Xiang's faction has done many deceitful and immoral things, they have a deep connection with the old Hongmen. Under their influence, many people in the sect also regard "overthrowing the Qing Dynasty" as their own duty. Anyone who opposes the Qing government Whatever happens, we will definitely help you.

Nowadays, the imperial court claims that it is determined to innovate, but its sincerity and determination are not enough. Many people with lofty ideals have already lost their patience and are looking for more radical ways to change the situation.

Since the Jiangxi faction claimed to be the "Prime Minister of Jianghu", naturally many people infiltrated into the "chaotic party" and held advisory and staff positions. As Jianghu, they helped the alliance to win over all parties.

Tan Renjun and Liu Yansheng came to Fengtian. Although they looked like duckweeds in the water, they were not without foundation.

As early as the 32nd year of Guangxu, that is, the year before last, there was a League of Nations that had infiltrated into Fengtian. Last year, Song established a branch of the League of Fengtian in Andong, talking to various hills in Green Forest and persuading them to "join forces." As one body, we can achieve great things together."

By this year, three outstanding non-commissioned officers gathered in Fengtian, and Wei Tianqing practiced the new army in Beida camp, which gained a high reputation.

All forces are discussing a grand plan, hoping to occupy Liaodong, spy on Yanjing, and wait for the opportunity to seal the throat of the Qing court with a sword.

Jiangxiang's faction is related to Lao Hongmen, and Lao Hongmen is closely related to the Alliance. That's why Tan Renjun took Liu Yansheng all the way to outside the customs in an attempt to win over Jianghu forces.

It was a good idea, but after wandering around Fengtian for such a long time, Zhou Yunfu was waiting for the opportunity to make a move, Bai Baochen was with the Japanese, and only the young master Su Wenqi was willing to provide support.

"Oh! You have to have drank foreign ink, it's just different!" Liu Yansheng couldn't help but sigh, "Master dad, what should we do now? Are we waiting to see Zhou Yunfu?"

Tan Renjun thought for a while, shook his head slightly and said, "Rather than waiting stupidly, it is better to find a way to catch up with Chen Wantang directly."

"Is that Chen Wantang important?"

"It seems to be no worse than Jiang Chenghai, but his business is in Fengtian and he doesn't go out to run around, so Man'er is not as big as 'Owl'."

Although Liu Yansheng was young, he was very thoughtful. He immediately said: "Master Dad, if we go to the east and the west like this, people think we are here to stir up trouble!"

“Misunderstandings are inevitable!”

"I'm afraid that the misunderstanding will be too deep and my life will be lost."

"What?" "Nothing, nothing!" Liu Yansheng waved his hands quickly, "Master dad, let's go get something to eat first!"

……

……

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

After Tan Renjun and Liu Yansheng left Jiang Zhai, Xu Ruqing didn't sit there for long before he excused himself and planned to talk to Zhou Yunfu about his senior sister to avoid causing more misunderstandings.

After Jiang Xiaodao had dinner, he picked up a novel as usual and read it to his father and Hu Xiaoyan.Over the past few years, in addition to his general abilities, his ability to read has also gotten better and better. Not only can he speak vividly, but when he gets excited about reading, he also has a bit of a storyteller's style.

But tonight, Jiang Chenghai seemed a little bored.

Hu Xiaoyan was bright-eyed. When she saw this situation, she guessed that her father probably wanted to stay by herself for a while, so she urged Xiaodao to drive a donkey cart back to Lao Cui's residence.

Jiang Xiaodao found it troublesome. After all, the marriage had been decided, so what if he stayed here for one night?

Hu Xiaoyan had no choice but to prevaricate casually: "We haven't officially married yet!"

Jiang Xiaodao couldn't resist her, so he muttered "There's so much shit" and sent Hu Xiaoyan back under the cover of night.

After Jiang and Hu left, Jin Xiaoyi and Gong Baonan stared at the master and apprentice sent by Jiang Xiang outside.

The house was suddenly empty and deserted, leaving Jiang Chenghai alone, sitting cross-legged on the kang, frowning his eyebrows worriedly, smoking a dry cigarette in his mouth.

Jiang Chenghai's character was originally a bit taciturn, but now that he is getting older, he talks less and less.

He has been looking like this since Xu Ruqing left today.

While I was sitting and smoking two packs of cigarettes, there was a sudden "clang" on the courtyard door outside the house.

Jiang Chenghai knocked his pipe and pot, looked up, and saw a vague figure opening the door, hesitatingly crossing the yard and running towards the back room.

"crunch-"

The door to the outhouse was opened.

"Lao Qi?" Jiang Chenghai asked subconsciously.

There was no response, and the "rustling" footsteps got closer and closer.

Jiang Chenghai couldn't help but roll up his sleeves, got off the kang, and walked cautiously toward the door.

"Fourth?"

"crunch-"

The door of the back room was also opened. Jiang Chenghai leaned forward and took out his sleeve with his right hand, revealing a box gun.

Then, he slowly approached the door, and suddenly his head flashed, but it was a familiar face.

The burly figure of the second eldest son, Li Tianwei, almost filled the entire door frame. The half of his face that had been licked off by the blind bear looked a bit ferocious against the dim yellow light in the room.

"Brother, I have something to do with you."

　There will be one more later.
