Chapter 231: Changes and Changes (Part 1)

Xu Changqing smiled, without saying anything more, and said in a deep voice: "In fact, the Chen Family Chongshan City is not as simple as outsiders think. When the Chen Family Chongshan City was built, the nine-rate idle people of that generation had integrated an ancient Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation into the mountain city, and the Chen Family House was a small four-elephant Formation. As long as Xiaoshan and others controlled the heart of the formation, if those Tantric masters rashly broke in, although they might not be able to injure them, it would be no problem to trap them. At that time, we only need to catch turtles in the jar."

"Since you have an idea, we just need to do it." Chang Yin's face showed a ferocious look, licked his lips with his tongue, and said, "But the Buddhist golden bodies of those Tantric masters will be left to me. I believe that as long as I can refine those Buddhist golden bodies, my Tianxie evil bone will definitely be able to achieve great success." As soon as this said, he felt a little proud again, and looked at Xu Changqing and quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, if my cultivation is stable, I can better protect Xiaoshan and the others in the great disaster."

Xu Changqing smiled and said indifferently: "I naturally understand this."

Just as Xu Changqing and others were discussing countermeasures at Taohuashan Yizhuang, the atmosphere in the Chen family house at the foot of the mountain turned against the previous calm and became turbulent.

"Bang!" A loud bang came from the Beiyang Army's courtyard. Xu Shuzheng looked angry and his eyes were bloodshot. The newspaper slapped on the table was pinched into pieces.

"Regain, calm down." Yang Shiqi frowned and stepped forward and said anxiously.

"Calm down? Now it's time, how can you calm me down!" Xu Shuzheng said to Yang Shiqi with a blue vein on his face, "Duke Yuan didn't even reveal any news to us in advance for such a big thing. We so-called Beiyang confidants finally learned about this from other people's newspapers. Does Mr. Yuan trust us like this? Mr. Yuan..."

"Enough! Youzheng, be careful! Be careful of the disaster!" Yang Shiqi shouted coldly, interrupting Xu Shuzheng's complaints, and then gave a wink at Fu Liangzuo, who was also gloomy, and asked him to take him to the yard to guard him. After only two of them were left in the room, he said: "I can understand Brother Youzheng's resentment, but now is definitely not the time to complain. Moreover, I think the reason why Mr. Yuan did not tell us the seriousness of the situation in Outer Mongolia was that he was afraid that we would show weakness during negotiations. If you have any resentment, you must bury it in your stomach no matter what. The most important thing now is how to recover the disadvantages?"

"What Brother Xingcheng said is very true, I am too impatient." Xu Shuzheng took a deep breath, his face gradually recovered, and he hugged Yang Shiqi and said, "My brother has been with Mr. Yuan for many years and is trusted by Mr. Yuan. Can you tell me whether Mr. Yuan has made arrangements on this matter?"

"I don't know this. Mr. Yuan has never revealed a word to me about Outer Mongolia." Yang Shiqi frowned and pondered for a moment, saying, "But based on my understanding of Mr. Yuan, he must have made arrangements in advance. Youzheng is a soldier. Do you think the two sharp blades of Cao Kun and Long Jinbao when dealing with the rebellion in Shanxi and Shaanxi? Cao Kun has 60,000 elite troops from the third town, Long Jinbao has 40,000 elite troops from the first town, and 50,000 Zhili army in his hands, a total of 150,000 troops. Such a huge army is only used to deal with the rebellion in the two places that are not in a climate. Is it a bit of a killing knife?"

"No wonder I thought it was incredible that day that Mr. Yuan distributed his troops so much. It seemed that Mr. Yuan was Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, and was intended to be Pei Gong." Xu Shuzheng's face was slightly relaxed, and a disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "It's a pity that although the sword has been danced, Mr. Pei still does his own way. Mr. Yuan is too confident."

Yang Shiqi refused to comment. Although he was also deeply dissatisfied with Yuan Shikai hiding this matter from him, as an aide, the first thing he had to consider was to make the new general in front of him angry.

After the room was quiet for a while, Xu Shuzheng's expression also eased. Yang Shiqi then said, "The current situation is extremely unfavorable to us. The Revolutionary Army used this news to put pressure on us. How confident do you think we are to complete the conditions set by Mr. Yuan before?"

After Xu Shuzheng's anger faded, he calmed down again, closed his eyes slightly, and tapped his fingers on the table. Not long after, he suddenly opened his eyes and said confidently: "50%! I think he should be 50% sure."

"Fifty percent? That's so high?" According to Yang Shiqi's estimate, he was only 30% at most, so he was naturally surprised when he heard Xu Shuzheng's words.

"This is still a conservative estimate." Xu Shuzheng said with a calm expression: "Now that Russia has successfully made Outer Mongolia independent, they will inevitably clean up the results and stabilize the situation. With the 150,000 elite troops of Cao Kun and Long Jinbao are guarding the north, the situation in the north has basically stabilized. As long as we do not take the initiative to provoke in the short term, the Russian troops in Outer Mongolia will not dare to take action. In this way, the biggest disadvantage of our previous negotiations will be gone. Now we can free up our hands to deal with the revolutionary army in the south. As for the negotiations between the north and the south, we are now taking the initiative."

"That's right, that's right!" Yang Shiqi quickly figured out the joints, suddenly realized, nodded repeatedly, "No wonder Mr. Yuan called you again to serve as deputy envoy on that day. It seems that I am not as good as you in terms of the overall situation!"

"Brother Xingcheng is over, I'm just talking. Brother Xingcheng needs to be the helm for the specific negotiations." Xu Shuzheng smiled indifferently, and then said solemnly: "Although we have the advantage now, it still takes some external force to make the conditions of Mr. Yuan pass. It seems that the two of us should formally meet Chen Deshang, the head of the Chen family."

Yang Shiqi interrupted: "In addition to Chen Deshang, we also need to see another person, Xu Changqing."

At the same time, in another courtyard, Chen Fan proudly read the newspaper in his hand several times, and smiled at Song Jiaoren: "It seems that the Beiyang Army is attacked from both sides this time, and the prospects are worrying!"

Song Jiaoren did not have the same good mood as Chen Fan. He frowned slightly, his face was solemn, and he sighed: "Zi Yu, you have passed a little! Gentiles will split my China, no matter what, it is not a thing to be happy about."
