After reading the telegram, Xu Changqing handed it back to Gu Weijun and said in a plain tone: "Now everything is going according to the original negotiation conditions. Why are you still so worried about?"

"But the President has been struggling for so many years for the revitalization of China, but the results were stolen by Yuan Shikai, the Qing slave. I was really unwilling to accept it." Gu Weijun did not make any false statement in front of Xu Changqing, with a heartbroken expression on his face, and his fist hit the wall of the ship warehouse, saying: "Yuan Shikai is a man of tricks and is very good at power. If he is allowed to go south to take over the power, he will inevitably eliminate dissidents and eventually monopolize the power. I believe that the sir should also know what the situation will become of China!"

"You're overthinking. In fact, if Yuan Shikai really goes south, it will be good or bad for China or unknown. Not to mention how many people Yuan Shikai will lead to go south, as far as the various forces in the south alone, they will not let Yuan Shikai monopolize the power. Only balance will allow the vast majority of forces to get the greatest benefits." Xu Changqing frowned slightly, returned to the deck with Gu Weijun, found a table to sit down, and said, "In addition, don't forget Yuan Shikai's age. He is not young anymore. He has many factions under his command, and his son is not brave enough to convince the public. As long as Yuan Shikai dies, the seemingly powerful Beiyang faction will kill each other and eventually collapse. In my opinion, Mr. Gu, you are completely unnecessary for Yuan Shikai to go south. Yuan Shikai's southward benefits outweighs the disadvantages for the overall situation of China. Have you ever thought about what consequences would be if Yuan Shikai didn't go south?"

"Don't go south?" Gu Weijun obviously hadn't thought of a deeper level. He said in confusion: "This shouldn't happen, right? If Yuan Shikai did not go south, how could he succeed to the presidency, how would the National Parliament discuss matters, various bills..."

"Can't these things be done in the north?" Xu Changqing laughed and interrupted Gu Weijun's words. The starter then woke up: "Actually, in my opinion, the reason why Yuan Shikai appeared at that donation party and donated a huge amount of money was not to prepare for the southward journey. On the contrary, he was to prepare for not going south. I believe Mr. Sun and some people from the Republic of China government also saw this. That's why they were so hastily and eager to prepare for the matter of Yuan Shikai's going south."

"Does he want to separate from the north and the south?" Gu Weijun's face tightened. His body couldn't help but tremble, and the telegram in his hand was caught in a ball.

"It is impossible to separate north and south. Neither Yuan Shikai nor his Beiyang Army, Sun Yixian, the Revolutionary Army, or even all walks of life in China would allow such a separation situation to occur." Xu Changqing shook his head and analyzed: "Now the Beiyang situation is great, and the final result is that the South will make concessions and move the Presidential Palace to the north, but the National Assembly will remain in the south to achieve a balance. However, Yuan Shikai will not be satisfied with this. He participated in the donation party and donated large amounts of money, in order to win over the power of the southern merchants, the most important thing to the Revolutionary Army. Most of the large merchants in the south have contacts and even relatives. As long as Yuan Shikai wins over the Nanyang merchants, he will completely control the lifeline of the entire Southern Revolutionary Army. Not to mention a National Assembly, even the entire Revolutionary Army will be allowed to control it."

As Xu Changqing expressed his views and speculations about what Yuan Shikai did, Gu Weijun's face became extremely pale. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Yuan Shikai was planning in this direction, and gradually lost the mood to continue talking with Xu Changqing. He hurriedly stood up, sued him, turned around and ran towards the telegraph room, preparing to tell the Nanjing side of the matter.

As soon as Gu Weijun left, the old wizard Su Chawei walked over from the other side, sat opposite Xu Changqing, and said, "I have seen many practitioners who are practicing, but this is the first time that they have seen such a deep understanding of the national political affairs like Mr.."

"That's rare and strange for the old masters. In ancient China, whenever the world was in chaos, some strange people would come out to help all forces to calm the chaos. After all, the troubled times had a great impact on the world of cultivation, so it was not strange for me to do these instructions!" Xu Changqing smiled indifferently, and said it was untrue. He did not mention the great disaster or luck at all, but he heard it in others' ears and made people believe it. He followed him and changed the topic: "I wonder if the old master knows our next port of call?"

"Aden? Learn something." The old wizard recalled and said, "It seems that it is the last port after the Eastern ships entered the Red Sea. It is a purely port city. Most of the products from the Arab world are concentrated here to other places. Your great navigator Zheng He seemed to have visited Aden back then. Now Aden is under the control of the British, but now the entire Arabian Peninsula is in trouble. Although there are British troops, they are probably not very peaceful."

"There are chaos, disasters, disasters everywhere." Xu Changqing sighed in his heart, frowned slightly, and then asked: "Do you know what Aden's religious beliefs are?"

"Religion?" the old wizard was stunned and said with a smile: "You wouldn't go to Aden to trouble those Muslims, right? That's not good. Except for the British, all the Arabs believe in Islam. They are very united and brave. In addition, there are a few very old guys living in Aden. I think even if you take action, if you don't have to do all your efforts, you will be in trouble."

"Ancient guy?" Xu Changqing looked at the old wizard curiously and said, "Are they Islamic angels? Or those ancient demons?"

"Haha, it's longer than those monsters." The old wizard reached out and rolled up the hem of his clothes, revealing his abdomen. He saw that his entire right abdomen had shrunk, as if he had lost any vitality.

"The Five Elements Wood Spirit Qi." A hint of surprise flashed across Xu Changqing's face, and then felt it carefully, and said to himself in confusion: "No, it is very similar to the Five Elements Wood Spirit Qi, but there seem to be some subtle differences. It feels like these Wood Spirit Qi is alive, and it is connected to your lifeline, and you live and die together."
