sand dust

Pushing a cup to change a cup, most of the dishes on the table were wiped out, Qi Tiezui felt that the waistband of his trousers was a little tight.

Zhang Qishan unbuttoned the top button of his shirt collar, and asked Wu Gou seriously:

"Since I passed out in Xie's house last time, I can't remember many things before. Tell me, what happened after we met in Darziling. I was captured by the devil. How did you get involved with Young Master Hong? "

Zhang Haike, Wu Gou, and Er Yuehong looked at each other in dismay, Baye Xie Jiu looked at the show, and Ri Shan continued eating without raising his head.

"The story during this period must be very exciting. Wu Gou, you have to tell it in detail, so that everyone can learn a lot!"

Ba Ye also followed suit, Wu Gou looked at Zhang Haike, his eyes were so cold that he could eat people, and then looked at Er Yuehong, Er Yuehong stopped coughing a few times before speaking, Wu Gou scratched his head and thought for a long time , pinched the three inches on the leg and said:

"At that time, I dragged Brother Qishan and Rishan out of the mine with Brother Qishan's backpack on my back. I was so tired that I just sat down and wanted to take a rest, but I didn't expect the three-inch dog to jump into the bushes. Hurry up and run and search. When I found Sancunding and drew some stream water and came back to find Brother Qishan and the others, they had already been taken away by the Japanese soldiers. I had to follow all the way and found that Brother Qishan and the others were captured by the Japanese. I went to a concentration camp and was going to be transported to the Northeast to do hard work. I was so anxious that I remembered that there were gold bars in the backpack. I could go to Changsha City and hire some people to rescue them. I opened the backpack and found a jade pendant with rhododendrons engraved on it. I guess This is something from the Red Mansion, I took the jade pendant and went to the Red Mansion to ask, I didn’t expect that Young Master Hong and Brother Qi Shan are really old acquaintances, Young Master Hong really thought of a way to save people."

After Wu Gou said something, Er Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief. This kid was quite clever, and his compilation was impeccable. Then Wu Gou continued:

"I followed Wu Gou to the Japanese camp, and found that a few guys in your store were also arrested by the Japanese and were about to be taken to a concentration camp. I asked Wu Gou to divert the attention of the devils, slipped to them, and told them When you asked the guys to send the young man from the Li family to be treated, they told me that you had already entered the city, so you didn't meet Wu Dog by chance in front of Jieyu Tower, but we were in the city I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Er Yuehong kicked Zhang Haike under the table, and Zhang Haike fooled him by pretending to be drunk.Zhang Qishan felt that the eyes of these people were a bit strange, but he couldn't find anything wrong.

"Housekeeper, tonight there is Wu Gou's favorite lantern play "Legend of Yue Fei" on the ancient stage at the Fire Palace. You send someone to send Xie Jiu, Wu Gou and Ri Shan there for a stroll."

Hearing that there was a shadow puppet show at night, Wu Gou couldn't hold back any longer and kept tugging on Xie Jiu's clothes. Er Yuehong gave the butler a wink, and the butler gave a servant a few silver dollars and asked him to bring three Grandpa went out.

"Mr. Zhang, I invited you three times before you came to my house. I guess it's not as simple as eating here. There must be something difficult. Let me tell you about it."

Zhang Qishan saw the teenagers making a fuss out of the house, poured himself a cup and said:

"Why do you have to ask the military master to tease me? I do have something to discuss with you. To tell you the truth, Shangfeng asked me to find a way to deal with Yuan Zuming. Although he is only ranked fifth in the Nine Schools, he has been following Zhao Hengti for many years and has all the ammunition. Both of my brigades were transferred to the front line of the Northern Expedition. We can only use the strength of a garrison brigade, which cannot pose a sufficient threat to him. Once there is a mutiny, the surrounding areas of Changsha will fall into melee and harm the people. I hope it is better to outsmart them. .”

"Don't you usually like to go to the old man's house to discuss important matters, why come here today to pretend?"

Zhang Haike glanced sideways at Zhang Qishan, picked up a piece of mushroom and threw it into his mouth, Er Yuehong quickly smoothed things over and signaled the housekeeper to fill up the wine for everyone.

"I heard that the fifth master secretly colluded with the warlords of the Guizhou Faction, and the number of troops has reached tens of thousands, but..."

Qi Tiezui picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, grinning and saying:

"The master wants to discuss with us. I'm afraid who will be the successor of the fifth master?"

Zhang Qishan nodded, picked up Qi Tiezui's fortune-telling compass and played with it:

"Fortune teller, you guessed right. I already have a candidate, but I just want to help him into the fifth master's position according to the rules of the Nine Gates. It's a bit tricky to do."

Qi Tiezui pinched his fingers and exclaimed in surprise:

"Are you going to put that son of a bitch ahead of me?"

"Wu Gou's work is considered calm, and now he has some reputation in Changsha City because of the good dog raising. He is a candidate, but he is younger than Xie Jiu. Let him sit in the fifth master's seat. To this child Saying it might not be a good thing."

Er Yuehong frowned, knowing that Zhang Qishan would be in charge of the Nine Sects sooner or later, isn't that a little too impatient?

"Zhang Qishan, you really deserve to be a conspirator like your grandfather. I, Zhang Haike, really admire that such a young child has to plan."

Zhang Haike drank the wine in his glass, stood up and cupped his hands at Er Yuehong:

"Tomorrow, Xie's family has something to discuss with me, so I'll take my leave first!"

"Zhang Haike, we are both members of the Zhang family, so can't we talk about it properly?"

Being held back by Zhang Qishan, Zhang Haike turned around and said with a sneer:

"Before the fifth day, if he agrees, I will take him to Hong Kong."

After speaking, Zhang Haike shook off Zhang Qishan's hand, and strode out through the gate.

"Yo, he's finally willing to walk through the gate!"

Seeing Zhang Haike walking away, Qi Tiezui covered his mouth and laughed a few words, which made Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong unable to hold back their laughter.

"He is still of great help to you. It is better to resolve this deadlock with him."

Er Yuehong was a little worried, but Zhang Qishan didn't care.

"He has the same thoughts as mine in essence, don't worry, I will let him understand."

Er Yuehong raised her chin, and the housekeeper immediately went out and brought three cups of hot tea to the three of them.

After taking a sip of hot tea, he felt the greasiness in his mouth dissipated a lot, Qi Tiezui cleared his throat and said:

"Yuan Wuye is strong in soldiers and horses. We don't need to fight him personally. There are people in the Nine Gates who dream of being the top of the Nine Gates like him, but we can fight him."

"You mean, third master?"

"Master Hong is right. The third master betrayed his former master. He dared to rank in the third sect and overwhelm the fifth master. The fifth master had long wanted to dislike the third master. After Zhao Hengti left, the nine sects had no leader. , the third master also had the idea of ​​taking control of the Nine Gates, and became Yuan Wuye's biggest opponent in the Nine Gates. We only need to provoke them a little, and they will fight sooner or later."

Zhang Qishan fiddled with Qi Tiezui's compass, listening carefully, Qi Tiezui hurriedly took the compass back and held it in his hand and continued:

"The time limit given to me by Shangfeng is only half a year. For a fortune teller, how to do it specifically?"

"Master, your plan is not only to help Wu Gou to the throne, I think you have long been envious of Yuan Wuye's army. After the new Fifth Lord takes office, you plan to take all the troops of the old Fifth Lord for your own use? So from tomorrow At the beginning, I need to go to Yuan Wuye’s side more often to get in touch with his subordinates, Dorala. After all, you are a member of the Nationalist Government, and some of his subordinates will inevitably think a little bit, and want to have a good relationship with you. I will also go to the third master's place to walk around more, add some material to him, and help half of Li get in touch with his brother's old department, how about we split up?"

Zhang Qishan finally showed a smile, this Qi Tiezui is a roundworm in his stomach, he knows everything very clearly, glanced at Er Yuehong, and said:

"The rules of the Nine Gates, the difficulty lies in how to let Wu Gou solve the fifth master himself."

"I thought of a way."

Er Yuehong picked up a snare drum from the shelf of the corner cabinet, tapped a few beats and sang:

"Let Xiang Yu move his capital to Pengcheng and give up Xianyang,

Stay with the lord to build a capital and establish a business and become the emperor.

By the way, the princes rebelled against Chu and returned to Han,

One after another came to insure Hanwang. "

After singing a few lines, Qi Tiezui applauded again and again, praising:

"I only thought that Young Master Hong sang Danjiao well, but I didn't expect this old man to sing superbly. Qi was very happy today. Young Master Hong wants us to sing together."

Er Yuehong handed the snare drum to the butler, and said unhurriedly:

"The eighth master has won the award. There is no need to rush this matter. Half a year is enough time. First, we have to wait for the fifth master to weaken the third master so that the Li family can regain the position of the third master; secondly, we need Qishan to have a firm enough control over the fifth master's subordinates. , so that there will be no civil strife and new troubles after the fall of Lord Wu; after all these things are done properly, we can find an opportunity to sing such a grand banquet, and let Wu Gou take advantage of the chaos to do it himself."

Zhang Qishan watched Er Yuehong stand up, his eyes were full of approval:

"I used to only know that you are elegant and modest, but now I understand that if you really want to deal with someone, that person will definitely die."

Suddenly praised by Zhang Qishan, Er Yuehong put down her teacup and waved her hands repeatedly:

"Hong just remembered a piece of drama by chance!"

Zhang Qishan looked outside the house, and a full moon was hidden in the dark clouds:

"It's getting late, Rishan and the others probably forgot the time, I'll go over there and look for them back, thank young master Hong for the hospitality, Zhang is leaving!"
