Chapter 188 Landing in Shanghai (1)

Chapter 188: Log in to Shanghai (Part 1)

Although Andre and the others knew that this would not hurt him, they still scared the two of them when they saw this strange thing, and they retreated seven or eight meters before stopping. The giant python gradually condensed into shape, and the surface of the python was covered with a layer of scales. The exposed skull flashed with green light in its eye sockets, which was particularly eye-catching in the darkness. Fortunately, there was no one else on the back deck of the ship except the three of them, otherwise it would definitely cause a lot of commotion.

When the horn on the snake skull completely disappeared and turned into the python's body, the python was already more than twenty meters long and floated in the air like a small dragon. Xu Changqing pinched the sword technique with his hands, recited the magic spell in his mouth, and then waved the sword pointing to the dark sea at the stern of the ship, and said in a deep voice: "Quick!"

The giant python floating in the air immediately rushed towards the dark sea along Xu Changqing's sword point, following the unique breath of the original owner of the Gu Refining Cup, looking for its target in the ocean. After the giant python rushed out, Xu Changqing stood at the stern of the boat and quietly felt the fluctuations of the surrounding energy. Not long after, he felt two evil spirits fighting fiercely three or four miles behind the boat. Then an extremely shrill scream passed through the sea and spread to the boat, making some people who didn't know what to do and thought they had encountered something like sea monsters, and then a big commotion occurred.

"The savior who jumped into the sea is dead. You should be safe now." Xu Changqing turned around and walked to Andre and the others who were sitting limply on the ground. He patted the shoulders of fear of them and said, "I hope you can remember your promises, otherwise..."

Xu Changqing had not finished speaking, but the intimidation in it had already made the two of them feel shocked. When they woke up, Xu Changqing had already left the deck and returned to the cabin.

The cruise ship had no accidents after the cruise ship sailed. The cruise ship only stayed in Shanghai for half a day, replenished fuel and cargo, and reported the accident on the ship, and then continued to sail for Hong Kong. Originally, Andre and Mary had to stay for a few days to appreciate the charm of the Eastern Magic City, but unfortunately what happened on the ship had already made them lose interest in traveling. The only idea was to return to China as soon as possible, so after the ship docked, neither of them got off the ship.

The news of Xu Changqing coming to Shanghai was already informed by telegram a few days ago. However, Chen Deshang knew that Xu Changqing did not like Zhang Yang, so he did not come to greet him in person, but instead sent the butler of the mansion to wait at the dock. Even so, Xu Changqing and his group were still highly watched by all forces on the dock in Shanghai. After all, the power of the Chen family was there, and the so-called third-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, even a mansion to be a first-class person in Shanghai. It is difficult for such a person to come here to wait for a day in the early morning without attracting attention. In addition, the butler of the Chen family's respectful appearance towards Xu Changqing made all forces in Shanghai speculate about his identity.

The port where the cruise ship is parked is in Wusong District, three or four districts away from the Zhabei District where the Chen Mansion is located. After Xu Changqing got ashore, he did not take a train to enter the city like ordinary people, but instead took a carriage. After a day and night of rest, the two little guys, the Huang family, recovered their energy and became lively. After getting on the carriage, he sat next to the coachman in front. Huangshan looked at the scenery and buildings on both sides in a constant light, and exclaimed from time to time, while explaining to his sister in detail. In order to take care of the two little guys, the butler of the Chen Mansion specially asked the coachman to choose the most prosperous road to drive.

"Sir, this is the first time I'm here in Shanghai!" In the carriage, Anzhuang, the housekeeper of Chen's house, asked respectfully.

"No, I came here once before, about ten years ago!" Xu Changqing looked out the car window and couldn't help but sigh: "Shanghai has changed so much. When I came here, it was just a wasteland of farmland."

"It's indeed a big change!" An Zhuang nodded slightly, and frowned and said, "But these prosperous scenes can only be seen in the foreign concession. If you leave the concession, you're afraid that it's even worse than what your husband saw ten years ago. Alas! The country is weak and the people are bullying!"

When the carriage drove through several alleys, Xu Changqing saw many scenes of selling children and women. His expression was a little dim, but soon he returned to normal. He smiled and said with a light smile: "I didn't expect that Butler An is also a person who cares about the country and the people. He is disrespectful! Disrespectful!"

"I dare not! I dare not!" An Zhuang quickly returned the favor with a humble manner and said, "I just felt it because of my feelings. When I knew it a lot, I naturally thought about it too much."

Anzhuang is naturally not an ordinary person who can become the chief supervisor of the Chen family's residence. Judging from his conversation, he has no style of a servant, and has his own view on affairs. Such a person naturally attracted Xu Changqing's attention. He looked at Anzhuang's face carefully, and saw that his fate entered the arsenal, and his purple energy was transferred to the seal. He would definitely be an official in a few years, and his eyebrows contained righteousness, which was obviously not the temperament that a servant should have. When he was in doubt, he used his Tianluo Doushu to calculate Anzhuang's fate. He soon frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Is Mr. An from the Tongmenghui?"

An Zhuang's expression was slightly stunned, slightly surprised, but he did not deny it, nodding and said, "Yes!"

Xu Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Do you know your identity?"

"I think I should know!" An Zhuang said truthfully: "When I took office on the first day, I warned me intentionally or unintentionally."

After hearing this, Xu Changqing nodded slightly, and understood in his heart that this was Chen Deshang's active show of kindness to the revolutionary army dominated by the Tongmenghui for two years after accepting his suggestion. Letting a person from the Tongmenghui become the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion in Shanghai must be to facilitate negotiations with the senior management of the Tongmenghui. Among them, Chen Deshang must have a deal with the senior management of the Tongmenghui. After all, with the background of the Chen family, it is much more convenient for the Tongmenghui to do anything in Shanghai, and the content of the transaction is likely to be Chen Fan's future position.
