Nine idlers

Chapter 220 Eight Thoughts From All Sides

"Hmph! Xu Changqing has been inside for more than ten days, and we can't feel his breath at all. If we don't cut the ghost curtain, how will we know whether he is dead or alive?" Chang Yin held the magic weapon indifferently. Take it back, but feel extremely horrified in my heart.A few years ago when they were both under the command of Xuangang Tianmo, although Zheng Xuan concealed his strength, Chang Yin believed that if they competed, the two were just brothers.Although Chang Yin was unable to improve with him because his cultivation base was crippled later, but after recovering his skills through the spiritual bone token this time, he felt that he was much better than before, which was enough to make up for the time when his cultivation base was crippled. gap.But judging from today's small competition, he guessed wrong, the gap between the two not only did not shorten, but widened even wider.

Zheng Xuan frowned, turned to look at the slightly anxious Huang family brothers and sisters, and asked, "Did you see anything?"

All the brothers and sisters of the Huang family shook their heads with ugly faces, while Huang Juan said: "Ten days ago, after master retreated, I couldn't figure out his existence even if I used the Xiantian Dayan Shen hexagram. It's like it disappeared from the world."

"Why is this so?" Zheng Xuan frowned tightly, 'touched' the beard on his chin, and said: "If it is still like this tomorrow, open the bamboo curtain!"

While Zheng Xuan and the others were discussing countermeasures, in the ancestral house of Chen Jiachong Mountain City, various forces were also discussing and negotiating what to do in their small courtyards.

"We don't want to wait any longer!" Chen Fan's angry voice came from the courtyard of the Tongmenghui, saying, "Does our Chinese revolutionary cause also depend on the face of a charlatan?"

"Spiritual stick?" Ma Jinchun on the side was extremely displeased that Chen Fan, a person with no qualifications and no achievements, could become the deputy negotiator. Seeing his revolutionary cause, he said with disdain: "If he is a magic stick, Why did the previous Patriarchs of your Chen family regard him as their teacher? It’s not that I underestimated your Chen family, if you hadn’t been helped by the master of Yizhuang, perhaps your Chen family would not have reached the status it is today.”

"Ma Jinchun, you..." Chen Fan stood up abruptly, glaring at Ma Jinchun, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger.

"Ziyu, you have so many books! Many ancient and rare books that have been lost outside can be found here. I really regret not coming to your house earlier." At this time, Song Jiaoren, who had been sitting by the window and reading books, Suddenly, he uttered an irrelevant sentence inexplicably, and this sentence instantly dissolved the tense atmosphere around him without a trace.

Chen Fan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, sat back, and said in a calm tone: "Mr. Song, if you like any book, just take it. I think father and Uncle Dejing won't mind."

"Oh! Well, I really want to ask Chen Weng for some books." Song Jiaoren looked surprised, and took a few sets of books from the bookshelf casually, put them on the table, and then turned to He looked at Chen and Ma, and said: "The fact that the two of you can be singled out to participate in this negotiation that can affect the future of China is in itself an affirmation of your ability. It is the hope of Mr. Sun, Mr. Huang and all comrades in the Tongmenghui." It’s all on us, and we have a long way to go! If internal strife breaks out before negotiations start, then how can we get the most benefit from the wolves and tigers of the Beiyang Army?”

"Mr. Song, the lesson is right. I'll be taught." Chen Fan and Ma Jinchun looked at each other and said in unison.

Ma Jinchun then frowned, and said: "It's just that it's not an option for us to wait like this all the time. Otherwise, let Weng Chen take the lead and start negotiating with the other party."

"No! If this is the case, our strength will be weak. Although negotiation skills and strength are important, the strength of both sides is also very important." Song Jiaoren shook his head, looking at the Beiyang Army with a serious expression. In the direction of the courtyard, he said: "Now it depends on each other, who is more patient."

"Who has patience? Could it be that some boys from the League will be more patient than us." In the courtyard of the Beiyang School, Fu Liangzuo said with great disdain: "Now the initiative is in our hands, we want to Talk about it, fight if you don't want to talk about it, with our strength in Beiyang, we are afraid that a few revolutionaries will 'disrupt' the party."

"Having said that, Mr. Yuan probably won't want to fight, because our situation in Beiyang is not much better than that of the Tongmenghui." Xu Shuzheng, who was dressed in formal clothes, took a sip of tea and said expressionlessly.

Xu Shuzheng's words made the other two people in the room startled, Fu Liangzuo was puzzled, while Yang Shiqi was surprised, and motioned: "Yezheng, keep talking."

Xu Shuzheng frowned slightly, and said: "According to the information I have received, the troops of northern Russia have begun to mobilize frequently, and more than [-] troops have already begun to cross Outer Mongolia and move closer to Inner Mongolia. At the reception, there were Russian consuls every time. It seemed that they were planning to use external forces to plot a comeback. Yuan Gong naturally would not let this happen, so the Chinese Civil War must end as soon as possible. Although the southern troops of the Tongmenghui are not too strong, but Don't forget, the [-]th town of the new army of Cai E in Yunnan is the elite of the new army, and Cai E is the unworldly general that Yuan Gong said. Such a person and army cannot be wiped out in a short period of time. The longer it goes, the worse it will be for us."

"Good!" Yang Shiqi applauded again and again: "No wonder Yuan Gong often said that besides the three heroes, he also has a thousand-mile horse. It seems that he will surely achieve extraordinary things in the future."

"Mr. Yang has won the award." Xu Shuzheng smiled lightly, clasped his fists and said.

"Since the situation is so urgent, what should we do?" Fu Liangzuo asked after understanding the situation, his expression changed from relaxed to serious.

"Wait!" Yang Shiqi stood by the window, sighed, and said, "Chenjiachong is another battlefield now. The Chen family and the owner of Yizhuang, Xu Changqing, gave us a chance to fight. Whoever strikes first will lose!" Turning his head, he smiled and said, "However, our advantage is much greater than that of the Alliance. After all, wars are not only about military strength, but also about more money. A large army lasts for a day, and it costs countless money. Although the Chen family and southern merchants support the Tongmenghui's finances, they will not continue to support it without limit. The Tongmenghui wants to stop the civil war more than we do, so let's just wait! Regardless of whether Xu Changqing appears in the end, or the Tongmenghui proposes first We are all in a good position to negotiate."
