Yuan Ke blushed, and then smiled and said, "I never expected Shou Hong to be so nostalgic. Now my father and I are just grassroots, so how can we be so high-ranking."

"Don't say that, Lord Yuan took good care of me back then, how could I be so snobbish." Zhao Shouhong walked into the door and said, "Why isn't Yuan at home?"

"So my father has already returned home, how can I be called an adult again." Yuan Keding said with a smile.

"Master Yuan has always been an elder in my heart. Besides, the court only said that Master Yuan should return to his hometown to recuperate from harsh conditions. Naturally, he will use it when he recovers." Zhao Shouhong waved his hands.Now he is generously giving away this empty favor, but looking at Yuan Wei now, it is a timely gift, which will help him play the emotional card with Yuan Wei in the future.

"Then let me borrow Mingshen's auspicious words." Seeing Zhao Shouhong looking around, Yuan Keding seemed to be looking for Yuan Kai. He quickly explained: "Father is not at home recently. Someone invited me a few days ago, and my father went out to visit friends."

"Oh? Master Yuan is still so elegant." Zhao Shouhong said: "I don't know when Master Yuan will come back?"

Chapter 3 and One Forcibly Revealed

"Maybe, my father never visits friends on a regular basis. It may be a day or two, or ten days and a half months." Yuan Ke's face was full of regret, as if Yuan Kai was not at home waiting for Zhao Shouhong to come to the door. It's a pity, but from the dodging eyes of the other party, Zhao Shouhong knew that he was lying.

Today's Yuan Kai has been recuperated under the "care" of the imperial court, which is not much different from being demoted to serve the people.For Yuan Kai, who has great energy in the court, Zaifeng will never be at ease. Even if the other party is living in Huanshang Village, the court will continue to monitor him.

In view of the strict surveillance of the imperial court, the only thing Yuan Kai can do is to protect himself wisely.It is said that after he came to Huanshang Village, he closed the door to thank guests, and did not receive any visitors, not even his former subordinates.Listening to Yuan Ke's tone today, it seems that Yuan Kai doesn't even want to see him.

Looking at Yuan Ke's expression, Zhao Shouhong smiled: "So that's the case. Unfortunately, I'm on business, so I'm just passing by here. Since Yuan Gong is not at home, I have no choice but to bother you next time."

"It's better to rest here for one night before leaving after being tired from guarding Hongyuan." Yuan Ke's words were obviously mostly polite.

"Forget it, it's still business matters. Zhao Shouhong is leaving now, Brother Yuan doesn't need to be sent away." Zhao Shouhong left Huanshang Village neatly, and Yuan Ke accompanied him to send him far away before giving up.

The accompanying people walked along the main road towards Anyang County. After walking for about ten miles, Zhao Shouhong raised his head and said to Zhao Qian, the biochemical human guard next to him, "How is it? Is anyone still following me?"

"The other party has gone back, what should we do now?" Zhao Qian asked.

Zhao Shouhong smiled coldly: "Yuan Wei doesn't want to see me, but I have to see Yuan Wei today. You take a few brothers to see the surrounding terrain. I guess Yuan Wei should be fishing by the river at this time."

"Yes, boss." Zhao Qian obeyed and took four cyborg guards with him. The rest of the brigade had to make way and find a flat place on the side of the road to rest temporarily.

Wang Lingji handed the dry food to Zhao Shouhong and said, "Boss, do you think these guards can find Yuan Kai? I'm afraid there will be many guards around Yuan Kai." Wang Lingji didn't know the strength of the biochemical guards, so he decided to There are such worries.Although these four people often protect Zhao Shouhong closely and look very powerful, after all, Wang Lingji has never seen the biochemical guards do anything.

"Don't worry, I'll follow them when they find out the news. The troops here are under your control. Remember to return to Huanshang Village after I give the signal." Zhao Shouhong assigned him a task.

"Understood." Wang Lingji knew that Zhao Shouhong never fought uncertain battles, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

Zhao Qian and the others handled their affairs neatly, and after only half an hour, they returned to their original place.Zhao Qian stood in front of Zhao Shouhong and replied: "Report to the boss, the target has been found. Within a radius of 1000 meters around the target, there are 21 groups of bright and dark sentries, with a total of 63 people. All of them are equipped with long and short guns, and 14 of them breathe long. It should be a martial arts master."

Wang Lingji was taken aback when he heard the words, there were only four people, and within half an hour they had detected so much information, and it was so detailed.Thinking about the difficulty involved, Wang Lingji couldn't help but secretly startled, are these guys still human?

Zhao Shouhong didn't seem surprised at all. He nodded and said, "How long will it take for you to finish it? I want to see Yuan Wei, but I don't want anyone to stop me."

Zhao Qian looked at his companions and said, "If there is no noise, it will take about an hour."

"Alright, in an hour, I will go directly to see Yuan Kai, and you must complete the task then." Zhao Shouhong nodded.

"No problem." Zhao Qian waved his hand, and the other three biochemical guards stood up at the same time, and the four quickly disappeared into the woods.

"Boss, this is unbelievable. There are more than 60 personal guards, so scattered, these four people can solve it within an hour?" Wang Lingji asked curiously.

"This is the case with special operations. If they can't complete tasks that ordinary people can't accomplish, how can they serve as instructors for special operations teams?" Zhao Shouhong replied with a smile.

An hour later, Zhao Qian returned to this place with his people. He nodded to Zhao Shouhong and said, "Boss, everything has been resolved."

Zhao Shouhong nodded, and he turned around and said, "Wang Lingji, you stay here to command the troops, and I will come whenever I go. Remember to watch the signal, and you all gather at Huanshang Village."

"Boss, bring more people." Wang Lingji persuaded.

Zhao Shouhong pointed to Zhao Qian and the other four people and said, "With the four of them here, do you have anything to worry about?" Wang Lingji had nothing to say, he could only watch the four biochemical guards follow behind Zhao Shouhong, The five gradually disappeared among the trees.

On the peaceful Anyang River, a lone boat was tied to a simple trestle bridge with ropes.And in the lone boat, an old man was wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, with a long fishing rod in his hand on the side of the boat, as if he was quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait.Yuan Kai looked at the float today, but he always felt upset, as if he was impatient with the fish's delay in taking the bait.

Zhao Shouhong, who was gradually walking out of the woods, stepped onto the green grass by the river, and he saw that familiar figure from the back at first glance.Walking lightly across the grass and stepping onto the trestle, he saw the swim bladder on the water surface shaking slightly, obviously a fish had bitten the hook.But at this time, the fisherman remained motionless, staring blankly at the water surface in a daze.

"The fish is about to run away." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile behind him.

His words startled the fisherman, but the fisherman subconsciously raised his fishing rod, but it was too late, the fish had already eaten the bait and escaped.The fisherman took off his bamboo hat, and it turned out to be Yuan Kai, who used to have great power. He smiled and shook his head and said, "The fish still escaped."

Turning his head, Yuan Kai saw that it was Zhao Shouhong who had a flash of surprise in his eyes, but soon his expression returned to normal. "I didn't expect Shou Hong to come to see me. What a rare visitor." Yuan Kai said with a smile, then he threw off the bamboo hat and coir raincoat, threw the fishing rod into the boat, and jumped onto the trestle bridge.

"It's really hard to see Yuan Shishu. I came here after going through a lot of difficulties and dangers." Zhao Shouhong laughed.

Yuan Kai's face changed, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.He asked Yuan Ke himself, but he didn't see any officials in the court, and now Zhao Shouhong came here without anyone accompanying him, how did he come here, and what did he mean by what he just said.

"Shou Hong seems to have something in his words. I was afraid of disturbing my innocence, so I deliberately put Kerr in the way. I don't know how you came here?" Yuan Kai's tone seemed ordinary, but there was a deep meaning behind it.

Chapter 3 The Pros and Cons of Hermitage

Zhao Shouhong waved his hands pretending to be relaxed and said: "My four subordinates are offended, let the 63 guards rest for a while, so I can see Uncle Yuan Shi."

Zhao Shouhong's words made Yuan Kai's eyes narrow, and it was obvious that his heart was not at peace.Zhao Shouhong was able to accurately tell the number of guards in the dark, but no one came out to stop them at this time, which means that all the guards have been subdued, and this is still without making any sound.

This matter sounds nothing at first, but Yuan Kai sounds it is another matter.Although Yuan Kai lived in Huan Shang Village in seclusion, he never broke his connection with the generals of the Northern Region. In order to defend Yuan Kai, the generals of the Northern Region spared no effort.They selected masters from among their cronies, and they managed to scrape together 63 highly skilled and loyal subordinates to serve as Yuan Wei's personal bodyguards.

These people are all practitioners, and they are the best among the new army no matter how long their fists are short, or their shooting ability.Yuan Kai also spared no effort to give them rewards, win them over for his own use, and at the same time allocate the best weapons to protect his own safety.Unexpectedly, these so-called masters fell down today, and they were dealt with quietly by just four people, how could this not make him startled.

Zhao Shouhong naturally knew the significance of these people to Yuan Wei, and how could the guards who could personally protect him be mediocre.The reason why Zhao Shouhong did this was because he planned to cooperate with Yuan Wei.If you want to cooperate, you must first show your strength, so that the other party can recognize your strength, otherwise, why should the other party cooperate with you.

In today's battle, Zhao Shouhong deliberately showed his strength, so that Yuan Kai could see how good his masters were, so that the other party would be interested in cooperating with him.

The psychological activities of the two are very complicated, but they are not revealed on the surface.Yuan Kai's complexion quickly returned to normal. He pretended to be careless and put down his fishing rod, got up and stepped onto the trestle bridge and said, "Shou Hong's subordinates are really skilled, so I just teach my weak subordinates a lesson, lest these people's eyes are higher than the top. .”

Zhao Shouhong supported Yuan Kai on the trestle bridge and said, "Uncle Yuan Shi is being polite, and I have no choice but to do it. Seeing that Uncle Yuan is in good health and seems to have recovered from his foot disease, I am really happy to congratulate you."

"It's a pity that the imperial court didn't want me to recover, so I had no choice but to remain ill." As soon as Yuan Kai said this, the two of them burst into laughter at the same time.

"Yuan Shishu is letting the wind and waves rise, and he is sitting on the Diaoyutai. Now that the domestic revolutionaries are rioting one after another, I believe that the day of Shishu's resurgence can be expected." Zhao Shouhong pulled Yuan Kai back to the shore, and the two were standing next to the gazebo. sat down.

A confidant family member who was waiting by the side quickly served tea. Yuan Kai took a sip of tea and looked at Zhao Shouhong: "I am afraid it will be difficult to be appointed again. , why did you come to Central South Province?"

"I can't help myself. Like Yuan Shishu, I'm wise enough to protect myself." Zhao Shouhong also took a sip of tea, and then he explained Zaifeng's desire to dismember the Zhao family's forces, and his own application to go to the epidemic in order to retreat. The things in the district have been said again.Now that Zhao Shouhong and Yuan Wei are in similar circumstances, these words immediately made the other party feel a sense of confidant.

"So, Shou Hong has also been suppressed by the court, and our constitutionalists are getting weaker and weaker." Yuan Wei sighed.

"You can't say that, even though Yuan Shishu fished the Anyang River, you still can't hide the turmoil in the imperial capital from you. There are brothers Guofu and Ruiquan in Zhili, and the new army in the northern region still obeys Shishu's dispatch. "Zhao Shouhong's words made Yuan Kai's hands tremble in fright, and the hot tea almost spilled on his hands.

His face changed, and Yuan Kai immediately smiled and said, "Shou Hong was joking, how could I have such abilities."

Zhao Shouhong said in a low voice: "Uncle Yuan doesn't have to be like this. We people don't speak dark words. Although I am out of Sichuan this time, Zhongchuan's military strength is still in my hands, just like Yuan Gong is with the new army in the Northern Region." Zhao Shouhong Such a showdown with Yuan Kui meant to unite with him.Now that Zhao Shouhong's power has been greatly enhanced, he is qualified to cooperate with Yuan Kai, and he no longer needs to rely on others.

Yuan Kui was startled, he knew that Zhongchuan's new army was under Zhao Shouhong's control, but he didn't understand why Wu Ziyu, who was born in the northern region, became Zhao Shouhong's man.No matter how you hold a new army in your hands, you can become a prominent figure in the whole country.If Zhongchuan and Zhili's new northern army echoed, the combination of the two of them would be enough to make the court fearful.

"So, even though Shouhong left Zhongchuan openly, secretly Zhongchuan's affairs are still under your control?" Yuan Wei asked, and Zhao Shouhong gave him an affirmative answer.

Yuan Kai was even more shocked. Although Zhao Shouhong only had one new army in his hands, he was able to control the entire Zhongchuan. This was not much different from the Northern Army who had four new army towns but could not fully control Zhili.At this point, he began to regard Zhao Shouhong as a person who could cooperate on an equal footing, not to mention that he had such a powerful guard in his hands.
