Chapter 83: The Demon Heart is Unpredictable

As Xu Changqing murmured, Cao Kun's face became extremely pale, and sweat continued to appear on his forehead, and soon soaked his collar. At this time, Xu Changqing suddenly stopped talking to himself, leaned down, and looked at Cao Kun coldly and said, "If I was not wrong, you want to use mutiny to rescue Yuan Shikai, and then clear the emperor's side and cut off Zaifeng!"

"Mr. Cao doesn't understand what Mr. Xu is talking about!" Cao Kun's face now had no blood on his face. He closed his eyes slightly and refused to admit it.

Xu Changqing ignored Cao Kun's reaction, stood up again, and said to himself: "Yuan Shikai is indeed extraordinary. He could deceive Mr. Zhuang Fei and others in just a few words. Now that he has stepped down, there are still a group of subordinates like you who work hard for him. Feng Duan and the other have always been disagreeable. Now that Yuan Shikai has stepped down, there are only two people who can have the ability and courage to integrate the two of them. One is the military advisor Xu Shichang, and the other is Wang Shizhen, the leader of the three heroes. I wonder if I was wrong?"

Cao Kun took a deep breath, opened his eyes, looked at Xu Changqing with a gloomy face, and said in a little awe: "I heard about Mr.'s name for a long time. Today, I saw it very extraordinary. Cao was blind and punished him. I hope he would not blame him. It's just that this matter is related to Wei Shuai's life and death, and it is also related to the future of our Chinese nation. I hope he can be proud and not interfere in this matter!"

"Fuck! Yuan Shikai is a shameless person. How can he represent the future of my entire Chinese nation?" Xu Changqing saw that Cao Kun was so rebellious that he bowed his head for Yuan Shikai's safety. He remembered that he had even planned to accept an apprentice. The difference between the two was so big that he couldn't help but feel a little jealous and couldn't help but yell. But after yelling, he immediately calmed down and murmured: "At least the future does not belong to Yuan Shikai!"

Cao Kun did not understand Xu Changqing's words, but he only saw from Xu Changqing's performance that he was extremely dissatisfied with Yuan Shikai. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious and said, "The Chen family is close to my Weishuai, and has cooperated a lot this year. Moreover, when Weishuai was under house arrest, the Chen family also asked for more people to take care of him. I believe Mr. Xu, who is a staff member of the Chen family, should have heard of it?"

"You want to use the Chen family to suppress me. Although it is a little stupid, it is still a way." Xu Changqing said with a cold smile: "Didn't Lord Duan Qirui tell the Cao General that the person who helped the Chen family support Yuan Shikai was me, Xu Changqing?"

"This bastard!" Cao Kun couldn't help but curse in a low voice when he heard Xu Changqing's words, and then said: "Since Mr. Xu supports my family's comforting and patience, why should we stop us from saving the comforting and patience?"

"Save Yuan Shikai?" Xu Changqing looked at Cao Kun with a disdainful look and said with a sneer: "I think you want to kill Yuan Shikai is the real thing!"

As soon as Xu Changqing finished speaking, Cao Kun refuted angrily: "Although I, Cao Kun, have never read any books, I still know how to write the word "Zhengyi". Even if you look down on me, Cao Kun, but Lord Feng's loyalty to Wei Shuai is, how can you be so slandered?"

Facing Cao Kun with anger, Xu Changqing looked at him for a long time, his sarcastic look on his face was completely subsided, and he became particularly awesome, and he said slowly: "It seems that there is no problem to use mutiny to save Yuan Shikai, but in fact it is a bad idea that will ruin Yuan Shikai and the Beiyang New Army in one fell swoop! Xu Shichang is the head of the State Affairs. Although he does not have the ability to see through the fortune of the world, he can fully understand the direction of the country. It is definitely not the time to turn against him at this moment, so he cannot be the leader of this plan. Although Wang Shizhen is a subordinate of Yuan Shikai, he is well-known that he still has loyalty to the Qing court, which can be seen as the Qing court's control over Yuan Shikai." As he said that, he asked Cao Kun, "Is this plan thought of by Wang Shizhen?"

"Don't sir often say that he knows the world's affairs? Why don't he even know who cares about Wei Shuai's life and death the most?" Cao Kun's anger was still sneered, "Wang Shizhen is now the admiral of Jiangbei. Before the New Year, he was deeply appreciated by the Qing court because of Qiu Cao's rebellion. How could the Sheng Jun Zhenglong care about Wei Shuai's safety? It was Lord Xu Shichang who personally went to Lord Feng's residence and persuaded Lord Feng to make this happen."

"What? Xu Shichang!" Obviously this answer exceeded Xu Changqing's expectations. He was stunned for a moment, and stood up involuntarily, walked back and forth in the room for several times, suddenly a look of suddenness appeared on his face, and he asked anxiously: "So have Xu Shichang proposed this plan since he contacted Lord Feng that time?"

Cao Kun was obviously confused by Xu Changqing's actions, and he shook his head involuntarily and said, "Mr. Xu said that this matter was all broken in his heart, so he would not mention it again, in order to prevent the news from leaking out. After that, he seemed to have forgotten everything, and even Master Feng said that Xu Shichang was very good at disguising."

"What a great disguise? He doesn't know anything at all!" Xu Changqing snorted coldly and said to himself: "Xie Yangzi, Xie Yangzi, you hide so deeply! No wonder you can easily destroy all the masters without silence. It seems that everyone in the world says that you have not learned the ancient transformation technique of the Ten Transformation Demon Lords is fake. In my opinion, at least you have cultivated the method of human transformation." As he said that, his expression became much more relaxed, and he looked at Cao Kun and said: "Cao Zheng, is the time for the mutiny set by Xu Shichang the fifth day of the fifth month?"

Cao Kun stared at his eyes wide and stuttered: "How...how did you...how did you know?"

"Okay! What a trick to kill two birds with one stone! You can use the aura of military evil to increase the power of magic spells, and use this as an opportunity to solve the troubles of the Beiyang New Army and Yuan Shikai. As long as Yuan Shikai rebelled, his qi veins will break away from the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty. Even if he was killed, he would not damage the luck of the Qing Dynasty. It's a good plan! It's a good plan!" Xu Changqing exclaimed to himself, then gathered his true energy, reached out to slapped Cao Kun's forehead, unzipped his ban, and clasped his fists to Cao Kun and said, "I offended Xu just now, I hope that Cao's commander won't be surprised!"

Cao Kun, who had been free from his restraint, felt that his hands and feet could be controlled again. He had already listed Xu Changqing as an undeniable person in his heart. How could he blame him? What's more, being able to make friends with such strange people is also a guarantee for him. So he restrained his arrogance, looked respectful, and he also bowed his fists and said, "Where? Where? Mr. Xu is so polite. Just now, I, Cao Kun, was confused and had no idea about Mount Tai, so he offended Mr. He. It should be my Cao Kun who was not apologizing for Mr. "

"The mind of Cao Zheng is like a valley, I admire him!" Xu Changqing politely said, and then got to the point: "The Chen family and the Beiyang New Army have been working together for a long time this year. It can be said that they have prospered and lost. We naturally would not want to see Lord Yuan fall down, so the next thing, Cao Zheng must remember it carefully." As he said that his face became extremely serious, and he said: "No matter what method you use, you must notify Lord Duan Feng and the other two, not to move one army or one soldier, and do not implement any mutiny strategy. Just pretend that this matter does not exist. All the troops that had violated the rules and expanded the enrollment in the past were disbanded or restored to militia. Then, quietly become an official of the Qing Dynasty, and wait for the right time to assist Lord Yuan again."

"What? Become an official of the Qing Dynasty quietly?" If it weren't for having tasted Xu Changqing's power, Cao Kun might immediately jump up and beat Xu Changqing. Although he did not dare to act rashly, his face was extremely unhesitant and said coldly: "Don't we just watch Wei Shuai suffer like this?"

"It's better to suffer than to die! Although he suffers now, he will not die. However, if you do anything rashly, it will inevitably involve him. At that time, I'm afraid his life will be unsuccessful!" Xu Changqing didn't like to explain more and said, "You don't need to understand what I said, you just need to bring my words to Duan Feng. As for whether you are willing to stop, that's your business! But you also need to consider one thing. Now the Qing court has begun to significantly reduce the military expenditure of your Beiyang New Army, and the Chen family is the one who really supports your huge military expenditure. If you lose the support of the Chen family, I think even if you successfully resurgent, it will not last long. I hope you don't seek death." After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation outside the house and said, "That's all, please let me know!"

Seeing Xu Changqing giving the order to expel guests, Cao Kun stood up and prepared to walk out, but when he walked to the door, he turned back and saluted Xu Changqing: "I always heard Weishuai and Lord Feng say that Mr. Xu is good at pushing his fate and observing his qi. I wonder if he would give me a sentence of order when Cao left?"

Xu Changqing looked at Cao Kun, said nothing, raised his hand and calculated. Although the fortune of the northern world was already in chaos at this moment, he could still vaguely calculate something, and said bluntly: "A person's wealth has long been determined. If he reaches the extreme of his life status, then the next moment is the time of decline. Don't be greedy for everything, and do what you can!"

Cao Kun chewed this sentence repeatedly, but did not understand what it meant, but nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you for your message. I will definitely bring you the words of your husband before. As for whether the two adults will obey your husband's words, it is not something Cao can decide."

After saying that, Cao Kun turned around and pushed the door and walked out. He took the coat from his subordinates who had been waiting outside the Accord, put on fake beards and sunglasses and other disguises, and walked out of Xingwu's hug.

Not long after Cao Kun left, Long Jinbao walked in, bowed to Xu Changqing, thought for a while and said, "Master, the disciple has decided to go to the Regent's Mansion openly, secretly establish a good relationship with the Beiyang New Army, and take two boats! Master, what do you think?"

"You want neither side to offend!" Xu Changqing smiled and said, "This is not a solution, but you must grasp the balance of the way, otherwise it will be counterproductive."

"This disciple will be careful." Long Jinbao nodded and agreed.

"Since that's the case, I should get on the train, so I won't stay much!" Xu Changqing stood up, raised his hand to stop Long Jinbao's retention, and then took out the last two peach wood men from the universe in his sleeve, cut through Long Jinbao's middle finger, dripped two drops of blood on it, circulating the true energy, and drawing a substitute puppet talisman, and then chanted the spell, and saw that the face of the peach wood man gradually turned into Long Jinbao's appearance. He handed the two substitute peach wood men to Long Jinbao and said, "You are walking in a regular way, and you are catching a side door. The big tree attracts wind. Sooner or later, there will be troubles to come to the door. These two puppet peach wood men can take you two disasters for you at critical moments, and you must keep it in close confinement."

Long Jinbao quickly took the two peach wood men and smiled and thanked: "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

After being hugged from Xingwu with Guan Zheng, Xu Changqing did not stay in Bazhou anymore and went straight back to the train. Then he asked the car supervisor for a basin of water, closed the door of the bedroom, and asked Guan Zheng: "Brother Guan can lend me some cinnabar?"

Guan Zheng didn't understand what Xu Changqing was going to do, so he took out the cinnabar in the treasure chest and handed it to Xu Changqing. Then he saw Xu Changqing drawing two Qi-gathering hidden spirit talismans on the door of the bedroom. Then he saw him pinching the sword technique with his hand, pointed at the Taoist talisman quickly, and said in a deep voice: "Imperial!"

The Taoist talisman was immediately hidden in the bedroom door, and followed a pure Taoist force emanating from the door, barely wrapping the car. If other practitioners outside the bedroom peeked, they could only see the dead objects in the car, but they could not see the living people. Guan Zheng could also use this method of gathering energy and hidden spirits, but it was not something that ordinary people could do. Even among the elders of the Guan family, there were only a few who could do this. When Long Jinbao introduced him to Cao Kun, the name he said made him think of when he left home. His mother once mentioned one of the masters in the cultivation world who needed attention, so he said tentatively: "I didn't expect that the master was the ninth-rate idle person who was the first person in the heretics. Guan was really disrespectful."

Xu Changqing smiled faintly and said, "It's not that Changqing intentionally concealed it, just because my reputation as an idle person in the Nine Rd is really not very good outside. He was listed as a lower-level ninth Rd whom he didn't want to make friends. Brother Guan is from a famous and authentic family. I'm afraid that if I tell my identity, I will lose a friend worth making, so I deliberately conceal it. I hope Brother Guan won't blame me!"

Guan Zheng didn't mind and said with a smile: "I once said that our friendship lies in heart-to-heart relationships. Other identities have nothing to do with me. But should I call you Master or Mr. Xu in the future?"

"Brother Guan, I'm making fun of it!" Xu Changqing said calmly: "It doesn't matter how you call your name. It's just an external name. But compared to Mr. Xu, I still like Brother Guan to call me Master!"

Guan Zheng nodded and said, "That's right, I mean that too."

After solving Guan Zheng's problem, Xu Changqing put the water basin on the table, then took out paper and pen from the compartment of the wall next to it, and wrote something. After that, Xu Changqing calmly nourished his spirit, gathered his true energy on his fingers, quickly drew a Taoist talisman with a faint silver light on the water basin, followed by the fingers that gathered the true energy, and pointed it on the water surface in the center of the water basin, and sent it into the water basin together with the Taoist force of the true energy and the Taoist talisman. The water basin immediately rotated as if it was stirred hard by someone. When the water was all gathered around and the bottom in the middle, nothingness turned into the middle of the basin, and a water mirror phantom appeared. Among the phantom was Mr. Sheng who had left Bazhou before.

When Xu Changqing saw that the phantom of Mr. Sheng sitting in the carriage appeared in the basin, he immediately picked up the note he had just written and threw it into the phantom. At the same time, he said in a deep voice: "The world is boundless, the water mirror sends a message, send it!"
