MTL - After Waking up Beside the Villain-Chapter 183 27 tricks in "Pear Garden of the Republic of China"! ...
This kind of invitation has never been met since Gao Lan changed from a bandit to a commander. He had the intention to refuse, but he couldn't refuse, unless he really planned to fight a street fight as soon as he entered Haicheng.
If things really develop like that, the entire Haicheng, whether foreigners or local forces, will never tolerate him.
"Beautiful!"
The adjutant looked over nervously.
The tea shoppers in the lobby of the tea house were watching the madness of the big smoker outside, and they were very happy. , was shocked for a while, and stayed on the stool.
Seeing Gao Lan come in, the shopkeeper and several very experienced guests immediately squatted down and drilled under the table.
Gao Lan glanced at it, ignored it, and went up to the second floor.
On the second floor there is only one private room with a guard standing in front of the door.
As soon as Gao Lan approached, one of them pushed the door open and made a gesture of invitation, while the other reached out and stopped the two guards who were going to follow.
"Mr. Gao, you'd better go in by yourself."
One of the guards glared, opened his mouth and scolded: "Damn, you are too deceiving!"
"Okay."
Gao Lan interrupted the guard's scolding, showing displeasure: "Just wait outside. I believe in Mr. Yu's character, there will be no danger here."
As soon as they said a word, the two guards were still angry, but they didn't say anything anymore.
Chu Yunsheng and Yu Jingzhi listened to the double reed at the door and smiled at each other.
Immediately, Yu Jingzhi blinked, Chu Yunsheng brought his tea bowl, got up and left the seat, and turned to the back of the screen in the private room.
His identity is no longer an unknown secret in the eyes of many people, but from his point of view, it is best not to go to the front of the stage if he can.
Chu Yunsheng just sat down behind the screen when Gao Lan came in.
"Mr. Yu is quite leisurely and elegant. At this time, he would come to drink tea and enjoy the scenery."
Gao Lan looked calm, without the slightest bit of coerced anger and vigilance. He smiled and spoke while taking his seat, as if he was an idle guest who was invited to drink tea.
Yu Jingzhi smiled and said: "It's just for a walk, if you always stay in one place, it would be too boring. Presumably Mr. Gao thought so too, so he was quiet. Extremely thoughtful, all the way from northern Jiangxi, all the way to Haicheng."
Lu Yun came over to make tea.
Gao Lan looked at the orange-yellow tea rolled into the porcelain white tea bowl, took off his hat, shook his head and smiled: "It can't be said of Mr. Yu's quiet and thoughtful state. Haicheng It’s a big city, and Gao yearns to urinate, but now that he’s free, he naturally wants to come to the city to see it, but he can’t stay in the backcountry all the time, and his livelihood is a problem.”
"Mr. Gao is still worried about his livelihood?" Yu Jingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Gao Lan said: "That's nature."
"Mr. Yu is also the head of the family, and he must also know that it is not easy to raise some people under him. I don't know how much food and military salaries are needed for a month. I really can't afford it."
"Not to mention that there was a famine in northern Jiangxi last year, and there was no grain harvest. Ordinary people may not be able to eat a full meal in three or five days. They are really hungry. Gao got it. Northern Jiangxi is a parental official, and seeing the miserable people under his control makes his heart uncomfortable, so he thought of coming to the wealthy land of Haicheng to try his luck."
Inside the screen, Chu Yunsheng listened to Gao Lan's eloquent words, but he remembered some rumors after Gao Lan's fortune and a few things in the original plot.
Gao Lan is most taboo for others to mention his bandit background. He envies literati in his heart. After sitting in northern Jiangxi, he learned to read and write, and he became more and more particular about his speech.
However, no matter how elegant and noble the language and behavior are, the bandits are still bandits.
The famine in northern Jiangxi, Jinling and many wealthy merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang allocated a lot of food, and Yu Jingzhi secretly sent a confidant of his own to supervise the matter. But say a thousand words and ten thousand, Jiangbei is surnamed Gao after all. Although the food was gone in large numbers, the starved corpses on the roadside were not much less than before.
Instead, they were soldiers under Gao Lan's hands.
In this world, you should not be afraid of blood or sin, but you should be afraid that you will not see the future and do nothing.
Outside, Yu Jingzhi's voice sounded, cool and warm like the summer breeze.
, is an inch of land and an inch of gold, so precious that most people can't get it."
Yu Jingzhi smiled, picked up the tea bowl, and sipped the tea lightly.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, savoring the sweet flavor on the tip of his tongue and throat, he was noncommittal about this.
Should it be Gao's turn to ask Mr. Yu's purpose?"
Just stepped into Haicheng, at this time, this place was suddenly threatened by Yu Jingzhi and invited to come up, it is naturally impossible for Gao Lan not to be angry. But he was more surprised, or rather, he thought that Yu Jingzhi should not be here at this time, and even named him to see him.
This is like a game of chess, when the two armies are facing each other, one side suddenly inserts a puzzled chess, which is very strange.
But what's even weirder is Yu Jingzhi's answer.
"Yu has no intention of coming, he just met Mr. Gao by chance and wanted to invite Mr. Gao for a cup of tea. After the cup of tea is drunk, Mr. Gao is free to come and go, and no one will stop him. "
Yu Jingzhi spoke calmly and earnestly.
But Gao Lan was stunned when he heard it, and his eyebrows were knitted together - which one is this?
While the two of them were talking, Gao Lan was secretly looking at Yu Jingzhi.
In the early years, when Gao Lan first established a foothold in northern Jiangxi, he had several encounters with Yu Jingzhi. At that time, Yu Jingzhi only established a firm foothold at the beginning of Haicheng. At a reception in Jinling at that time, Gao Lan met Yu Jingzhi, and was quite curious about this young man who could open up an inch of territory while surrounded by tigers and wolves.
But in addition to curiosity, there is also a strong sense of vigilance and competition.
After a short conversation at the reception, perhaps because of some deep feeling, Gao Lan regarded Yu Jingzhi as his enemy in his life, and believed that no matter how much attention he paid, it was still not enough.
As expected, within two years after that, Yu Jingzhi became the famous Mr. Yu, who controlled more than half of Haicheng. Together with Sun Decheng, who was a warlord, he did not dare to offend him rashly and retreated from Haicheng. . Although there is a reason for Sun Decheng's lack of strength, Yu Jingzhi's horror is also evident.
So Gao Lan was sure that Yu Jingzhi was ambushed on this long street, stopped him, and called him to the restaurant. There must be something to talk about and a purpose to achieve.
After entering the door, Yu Jingzhi's expression and words seemed to support this.
But what's going on right now?
The tentative confrontation at the first meeting is over, shouldn't it be about getting to the point and starting the business? This shouldn't be just drinking tea and chatting!
Gao Lan's eyes showed some confusion.
He calmed down, observed Yu Jingzhi's expression, decided to cut to the chase, and turned his back on the customer: "I heard that Mr. Yu has a new type of drug in his hands, which was made by a doctor, even abroad. There are no foreigners, but really?"
Yu Jingzhi's face was still, and he smiled: "Mr. Gao, today we won't talk about business, just drink tea."
"Mr. Yu, don't be stingy. If there is such a drug, it is urgently needed in our army. We can't say that we should do a business." Gao Lan said.
Yu Jingzhi still didn't answer, just raised his hand: "The tea is cold, change the tea for Mr. Gao."
Gao Lan's face changed: "Mr. Yu, Gao is a rude man and can't understand too many twists and turns, what is your purpose, what's the matter with calling me here, let's open it up The skylight can speak bluntly, just speak bluntly."
Yu Jingzhi sighed: "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Gao, Yu really just wanted to invite Mr. Gao for a cup of tea and sit for a while."
"You!"
Gao Lan's anger is really unstoppable, and he has to suspect that he has been tricked by Yu Jingzhi.
For a while, the second cup of tea in front of Gao Lan was about to get cold. He finally could no longer bear it any longer. He suddenly stood up and said coldly: "Gao does not like drinking tea, since Mr. Yu There is no serious business to talk about, so Gao is in a hurry, so he will leave first."
"Mr. Gao walk slowly, no delivery." The way of Yu Jing.
At this moment, Gao Lan finally confirmed that Yu Jingzhi was not showing off anything, but really just invited him to drink tea, not to mention other, this is simply weird.
In an instant, Gao Lan suddenly realized the true meaning of what Yu Jingzhi did today.
"Trick!"
Gao Lan turned around suddenly and glared at Yu Jingzhi.
Lu Yun immediately prepared to draw a gun.
Yu Jingzhixu raised his hand and smiled slightly: "Two cups of tea is enough time to negotiate too many things and exchange too many benefits, even if Mr. Gao goes out immediately, he will jump into the capital of the Yellow River. I can't wash it."
"If you leave calmly, some people will think that you have cooperated with me and have a good conversation. If you leave without expression, some people will think that you are covering up the conversation with me As a result. If you leave in a rage, there will still be people guessing whether this is a play that you and I played together and pretend to be at odds."
"Of course, Mr. Gao can explain a little more to the outside world, and some people believe it."
Yu Jingzhi looked at Gao Lan's face and raised the corners of his lips.
The elegant room will soon be clean.
The team on the long street downstairs quickly moved away, as if staying for one more second would be bad luck.
Chu Yunsheng walked out from behind the screen, glanced at the untouched tea on the table, and said softly: "This move can only be regarded as a delay, Gao Lan will not give up Haicheng , even if there is no north-south attack, there will still be robbery.”
Yu Jingzhi held back a smile and said softly: "It can be delayed for a while. What we lack is time. If we have another two or three months, the arsenal will be able to support enough weapons. "
"Only weapons are not enough."
Chu Yun said.
Yu Jingzhi leaned on the seat, closed her eyes, and said nothing.
A belated, heavy atmosphere gradually permeated the room.
Not enough, of course not enough.
Not enough time, not enough weapons, not enough supplies, not enough strength, not enough everything.
Chu Yunsheng knew that according to Yu Jingzhi's plan, even with his own participation, he would need at least three or five years to strengthen his strength and make all capital more abundant. Only then can he truly have the ability and confidence to expel the Tartars, support Zheng Yuansheng in their cause, and change Haicheng.
However, the flapping of butterfly wings is limited.
It may move the tsunami and the plot, but it cannot move the wheel of the established history.
If Chu Yunsheng remembers correctly, in the original plot, after the meeting in Europe, the army of the East will step into the Qingzhou Peninsula. After completely occupying the Qingzhou Peninsula, they will join forces with the Eastern Army from the northeast to the south, and together they will break through Jinling, pointing their swords at Haicheng, as if entering a land of no one.
The outcome of the European Conference cannot be changed, the battle in the Northeast is stalemate, and everything seems to be a foregone conclusion.
The time of the Eastern Army going south may only be earlier than the original plot, but it will never be later.
This is reality and this is history.
When Yu Jingzhi vaguely pointed out his identity that night, Chu Yunsheng decided to tell Yu Jingzhi the news.
More than Chu Yunsheng's expectations, even if Yu Jingzhi did not have the original plot to spoil, he still saw this from the changes in the current situation, affirming Chu Yunsheng's statement.
After that, secret investigation, careful mobilization, and careful layout.
Using Adams' hand to clean up the Oriental intelligence network, as long as the Orientals have less understanding and control of Haicheng, then their arrival time can be delayed by one point.
Kill Adams, deal with Louis and France, so there will be three-way constraints, Dongyang bites Germany, Germany bites France, the water is mixed, and the European meeting will take a long time to argue, even if The result could not be changed, but at least it bought time.
Big fanfare to intercept Gao Lan, but only drinking tea and not talking about things. First, Chu Yunsheng and Yu Jingzhi both know that Gao Lan is here for Haicheng, and is definitely not a partner who can cooperate. Second It is to use Gao Lan to confuse other forces.
As long as Gao Lan enters the Guanglai Teahouse and sees Yu Jingzhi, it will be difficult for other forces to really trust Gao Lan, at least the Orientals will never believe him, but it is very useful to use possible. But Gao Lan is not a kind person, and will not be willing to be used by the Orientals.
Once Gao Lan can't win the trust of Dongyang, then the north-south attack formed by him and the Dongyang army against Haicheng will be impossible for a while, and the crisis facing Haicheng can be greatly reduced.
Chu Yunsheng went with Yu Jingzhi two days ago, and it was obvious that he was criticized for being reckless and having no rules, but all of these were the most effective.
As for many matters in Qingzhou Peninsula and Northeast China, we can only do our best. People are not gods, and they always have to admit that they are powerless.
So, in the final analysis, everything they did during this time was just preparing for that day.
Chu Yunsheng is also clear that many people of insight must also have this worry or guess, but they are far from being prepared.
Even Fang Jiming and Zheng Yuansheng, after receiving Yu Jingzhi's hint, didn't quite believe that the world that had just restored peace was about to start a war again.
But it's the truth.
Drinking half a cup of tea again, Chu Yunsheng and Yu Jingzhi didn't sit any longer.
He escaped, but before he could catch him, he was taken away by the people of Tianminghui."
Tianminghui.
When Chu Yunsheng heard these three words, the first person that came to his mind was not Du Tianming, but Du Qi.
Du Qi, who was remembered by him, just shot and killed the last of his men who saved people with him, and then took Li Lingbi straight to a hiding place.
During the bumping and passing, the white walls and blue tiles of the alleys quickly retreated, and the sky was covered with continuous dark clouds.
Li Lingbi lay on Du Qi's back, panted lightly, and asked in a low voice: "Qi, Qi Ge, why did you kill them all? They...are not your subordinates?"
There was a trace of impatience in Du Qi's eyes, but his tone was with a gentle sigh: "Ling Bi, you are too kind. Although I am also reluctant, but they have to kill, you are being killed now. The Gu family is watching, the situation is not good, and one more person knows your whereabouts, the more dangerous it is."
"Seventh brother, you will protect me, right?"
Li Lingbi asked again.
Du Qi quickly crossed the sewage flowing in the long and narrow alley, and laughed: "That's nature."
Li Lingbi nodded and said: "The seventh brother, do you know that I have caught smoke? I told you before that I have seen Xuanqinghe use this method to control some people for him He worked hard for his life, but didn't want to, he also murdered me."
"I don't know when I got infected with this thing. Although Gu Qishu tied me up and tortured me for my secrets, he was really helping me quit smoking, seventh brother, wait until you settle down After that, will you help me quit too?"
Du Qi's footsteps paused slightly, and returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
"This thing is very difficult to quit. I haven't seen anyone who has the ability to quit successfully. But since you have this determination, Ling Bi, I will naturally help you. But if the quitting fails , don't be discouraged, it's just a big smoke, it's nothing if you smoke it for fun, if you want, you can have as many ointments as you want."
"Ling Bi, I will never wrong you."
Du Qi's voice was still gentle and affectionate, but Li Lingbi only felt a chill.
He kept his mouth shut and stopped talking.
