Chapter 16 Beiyang General

()

Although Chen Jiachong has a much larger population than Shaoguan provincial capital, it still maintains the simplicity of the mountain city and does not have many places to play. The two most popular places are the open-air stage by the river outside the city, and the other is the Sanwei Teahouse, the largest teahouse in the city. As for the fireworks places like Wanhualou, only merchants from north to south will go there. Few people in the local area go there. In addition to the expenses there, they are also afraid that they will not be able to gain a foothold in the mountain city after going there.

Xu Changqing walked from the north of the city to the urban area where the Chengnan Teahouses and Inns gathered. After walking down, in addition to the believers who participated in the water and land Dharma Assembly, there were also many young people wearing fake braids. They seemed to be learning Western learning. Among this group of people, there were many agile martial arts people. They all stood in the key points of the main street, staring at the crowds with their eyes tightly, looking like eagles ready to eat at any time. When Xu Changqing came to Sanwei Teahouse, he found that the martial arts people here were more and more powerful. Except for a few people sitting in a few seats behind the lobby, most of them were guarding the private room on the second floor of the teahouse.

In addition to Xu Changqing, the people at Sanwei Teahouse also discovered this. When they were carrying large teapots to get to the seats, they were deliberately or unintentionally avoiding the group of people. In fact, from the bosses to the halls of Sanwei Teahouse, they were not ordinary people. They were almost always good at practicing good skills. Since they came to Chen Jiachong eight years ago, they have become a very strong force in the large mountain city of Chen Jiachong. Moreover, the boss of Sanwei Teahouse seems to have a wide connection. Some famous folk actors from Peking, Shanghai, Suzhou, Tianjin and other places are invited by him from time to time to support him. He also knows many secrets that others don’t know. Every time they chat with Xu Changqing, they will reveal a little intentionally or unintentionally.

Chen Deshang did not like to have such a power in his own home that was not under his control. If Li Sanyuan had not followed the rules of the mountain city and was very respectful to Chen Deshang, he would personally send gifts to the Chen family to respect him during festivals and holidays. Later, he even worshipped the old man next to the Chen family as his adoptive father, which made Chen Deshang unable to find a reason, so he did not drive them away. For Xu Changqing, the struggle between these forces had nothing to do with him. He neither wanted to know which force the Sanwei Teahouse was, nor did he want to interfere in this kind of secular dispute. As long as it did not harm his interests, he would never ask. But if Sanwei Teahouse wanted to do anything that was unfavorable to the Chen family, even if he smiled every time he chatted with the owner of the Sanwei Teahouse, he would take the lead in destroying them.

At this moment, the owner of Sanwei Teahouse had already stood at the entrance of the teahouse. Seeing Xu Changqing walking over with his hands behind his back, he hurriedly met him and said with a smile: "Your boss is here, and now I'll wait for you to get old, so it's easy to start talking!"

"You are not peaceful here today!" Xu Changqing smiled indifferently, raised his head to the back of the lobby, and said, "You wouldn't have deceived me to save the market for you, right?"

"What did you say? I, Li Sanyuan, can swear to the sky and never use your ideas." Li Sanyuan's face immediately turned into a pitiful look and said, "I just want to invite you to listen to the book, don't get me wrong."

"It's best if you don't!" Xu Changqing smiled slightly, and under the guidance of Li Sanyuan, he entered the teahouse and walked to an empty table opposite the side. When Xu Changqing walked into the teahouse, it caused a little commotion. All the locals in the teahouse stood up and saluted Xu Changqing, saying, "Hello, Xu Changqing didn't sit down, and they didn't dare to sit down. This scene not only attracted the attention of those masters, but also attracted the attention of someone in the attic. After asking someone who was accompanying him, he couldn't help but murmur, so it was him and the like.

Although Xu Changqing was downstairs, his every move upstairs did not escape his spiritual consciousness. Even what they said was sent to his ears. When one of them called the leader as a teacher, Xu Changqing raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the martial arts masters guarding the attic. From their figures and steps, he could see that most of them were from the north. After a little bit of fingers, he understood what the person behind him was.

At this moment, Xu Changqing couldn't help but wonder. Although Chen Deshang followed his opinions and prepared to reconcile with Yuan Shikai in the north, this has not been implemented in detail. In other words, the person upstairs would not come by Chen Deshang's invitation. In this case, why did the general Yuan Shikai leave and send him over again? Although he calculated that the person upstairs had no big relationship with the Chen family, the disaster of Chen Tao and Xie Ling being captured had moved to his boss. It was always a potential danger to keep him here. Moreover, he and his boss not only wanted his life in the north, but also there were no fewer people in the south, so something was easy to happen.

So Xu Changqing calculated carefully again, and then based on the information obtained by Xingshang just now, he understood what the purpose of this person was here. He took out a piece of talisman paper, ran his true energy, applied Taoist force, wrote a few words on the blank talisman paper, and then handed the seemingly blank talisman paper to the client in the teahouse and asked him to send it to Chen's mansion immediately. After everything was done, he closed his eyes slightly and listened to the famous actor, Boss Zhao, on the stage, saying "Quickboard" to write.

Boss Zhao, who wrote on Tianjin QuickBoard, does have a deep foundation in storytelling. He used some tense plots of Huarongdao to use some plain words and function words, which made people think a lot, and couldn't help but applaud. Just when Boss Zhao said that Guan Yu stopped Cao Cao, his voice suddenly disappeared, and then he made the same sound as if everyone was inhaling. Xu Changqing, who had closed his eyes, could hear a footstep walking towards him. When he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but take a breath.

The person in front of her was not an evil ghost Yasha, but she looked extremely charming. A small almond face had a bright red mouth like a cherry, and her high nose looked particularly pretty. Her thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes revealed a kind of charming tenderness. Her figure was concave and confrontation. Her close-fitting cheongsam wrapped her figure tightly. She deliberately opened the buttons and exposed the pair of jade rabbits that were about to squeeze out. When she walked, she teased the primitive impulse of the people around her as she swayed her body. The slits on both sides of the cheongsam extended to her waist, and as her feet moved back and forth, in addition to the pair of well-proportioned and slender legs, the Western lace-edged underwear inside the cheongsam also appeared in front of everyone.

In the teahouse, including the famous Tianjin actor, everyone's eyes were fixed on the woman, and as the woman's body fluctuated, they inhaled and inhaled. When the woman sat down at Xu Changqing's table, the two raised dots squeezed on the silk cheongsam on the front chest made everyone think a lot. Finally, a few young men with strong energy could not bear the extreme stimulation, and they bleeded in their nose.

Seeing everyone's souls fascinated, the woman smiled, opened the incense fan in her hand, covered half of her face, and said to everyone: "You are really embarrassed to look at me like this! If you hope to be tender and affectionate with me, please go to Wanhualou to pick the sign. Hu Yueniang, my family will wait for you in Wanhualou during this period!"

After Hu Yueniang finished speaking, the teahouse had been silent for a long time. Everyone still looked at her seductive body in amazement. With her tender moan, everyone couldn't help but shivered. Seeing all this, Xu Changqing's face looked extremely ugly. He immediately pinched the magic seal, circulated his true energy, and shouted in a deep voice: "Qing!"

As Xu Changqing's shout full of golden elixir real energy spread, everyone in the teahouse felt a cold stream pouring in from the top of their heads, making their whole body feel cool, and their confused minds became much clearer. Although they were still very obsessed with Hu Yueniang's appearance and figure, they no longer had the crazy and ecstasy look. But when they felt their pants were cold, their faces immediately turned red as if they were about to drip blood. They quickly stood up and accused Xu Changqing, looked at Hu Yueniang reluctantly, and left the teahouse in three steps. Boss Zhao on the stage also turned red. When he walked off the stage and was about to enter the inner room to change his pants, he walked back, took out all the silver from his body, put it in front of Hu Yueniang and said, "I'll go find you tonight."

After saying that, he secretly pinched Hu Yueniang's white jade hand, and walked to the inner room with great satisfaction. The others immediately followed suit and took out all the money on their bodies and placed them in front of Hu Yueniang, just to touch her hand.

The martial arts masters behind seemed to have much stronger concentration than ordinary people. They held back their hearts and did not look forward to embarrass themselves. The person upstairs seemed to have some Buddha treasures to protect his body. Although he was also moved by Hu Yueniang and wanted to put him on the spot to rectify the Dharma, nothing embarrassing happened.

"Boss Li, please clean up the scene!" Xu Changqing came to his senses and said to Li Sanyuan: "Please invite everyone out. This girl Hu and I are old acquaintances, and I want to tell her about some things."

Li Sanyuan was also an old man. He felt something was wrong and quickly responded: "Okay, I'll do it now!"

Driven by Li Sanyuan and his men, the people in the teahouse walked out one after another, and even after going out, they still looked inside reluctantly. Hu Yueniang was indifferent to all this, smiling and knocking on the table, looking particularly leisurely.

"Why should we leave?" At this time, when Li Sanyuan asked the person in the attic to leave, a master sitting underneath was always on Hu Yueniang's body and said coldly: "My master wants to stay in the same place, but no one dares to force him to leave."

"This..." Li Sanyuan seemed to know the identity of the person upstairs, and looked at Xu Changqing with help.

Xu Changqing looked up and looked at the man behind the curtain in the attic. His eyes seemed to have passed through the curtain and looked at him. Then he said coldly: "The brother Jin above is better off leaving, not only leaving this teahouse, but also leaving Chen Jiachong and the southern boundary."

With a "swoosh", Xu Changqing's words had just fallen. All the martial arts masters who protected the man in the attic stood up, with a serious expression, staring at Xu Changqing, and reaching out to touch his waist.

"I don't know where Jin offended Mr. Xu, but he actually asked Mr. Xu to issue an order to expel Chen Weng?" The man upstairs hesitated for a while and said slowly.

"I see that Brother Jin's face is not very lucky recently, and now he has reached a bad position. There will be blood disasters at any time." Xu Changqing smiled coldly and said, "Although the south is not as powerful as the north, Brother Jin is a general under Lord Duan Qirui, and can be said to be trusted. As long as Brother Jin has an accident, Lord Duan Qirui will be like removing an arm. The revolutionary army in the south regards Lord Duan as a thorn in his side, and will naturally find ways to detriment to Lord Duan and his confidants. Isn't Brother Jin their best target at this moment?"

The man in the attic paused again, as if he was thinking about something. Soon he made up his mind and walked down from the building, following him by several great merchants from Jiangnan. The man saw that his cheeks were round, his lips were two beards, his eyes were majestic and powerful, and his eyebrows were slightly protruding and he seemed extremely resolute. He had a vehement momentum of a soldier while walking. Although he was also wrapped in a braid behind him, it was obvious that he was a fake braid that was reconnected.

He pushed away the martial arts master who was protecting him, walked to Xu Changqing, bowed respectfully to Xu Changqing, and then said, "I have heard that there is a master who is familiar with the world around Weng Chen. Today, he saw it was really good. Jin admired him. He also asked Mr. Xu to point Yunpeng to solve this crisis."

"Brother Jin is too rewarded!" Xu Changqing picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying, "Brother Jin has already had a solution in his mind, otherwise he would not have rushed to the Chen family. It was just that because of the grudges and entanglement between Chen Weng and Lord Yuan from Peking, it was difficult to speak, so he waited in this teahouse where I often came to ask Boss Li to come to me and wanted me to introduce Brother Jin."

Jin Yunpeng did not feel embarrassed about being exposed, but instead smiled and said, "Jin really shouldn't show off in front of experts. I hope Mr. Xu shouldn't blame him. Sanyuan and I are old acquaintances. This time I had an accident in the south and came to ask him for help. He forced him to help him because of his friendship. Please don't blame Mr. Xu."

Xu Changqing looked at Li Sanyuan who was embarrassed and then placed his eyes on Jin Yunpeng. After a long time, the masters around him thought he wanted to be unfavorable to Jin Yunpeng, so they all put their hands on their waists. It was not until Xu Changqing picked up the tea cup and drank a sip of tea before he relaxed. At this time, Xu Changqing said calmly: "The Beiyang New Army stationed in Wuhan now is the fourth town under Lord Duan, right?"

Jin Yunpeng was stunned. He knew that this team was a secret army specially sent by Duan Qirui to guard against the revolutionary army's attack on the Wuhan Arsenal and to strengthen Yuan Shikai's Beiyang New Army's strength. Only a few Duan Qirui's confidants knew the team of troops, and even the soldiers of the Beiyang New Army did not know where they were going. As far as he knew, this team of people should have arrived in Wuhan last night. According to the current speed of domestic news transmission, Xu Changqing would never know what happened in Wuhan. The only possibility is that he was really good at calculating as Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui said.

Although Jin Yunpeng was shocked, he remained calm and said, "I don't know much about this. Wuhan should not have the Beiyang New Army stationed."
