Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

When Huo Ying heard that someone was looking for him, he immediately asked, "Who is here?"

The steward said: "Second young master, I don't know the one surrounded by people, but the one who brought people here..." The steward said a few names, among them were the people in power in Shanghai from Britain and France, and Officials of the Shanghai government.

These people, not to mention Huo Ying, even Mu Qiong, who hadn't had much contact with top people, and Yue Chaoying, who had just returned to China, knew about them.

Yue Chaoying and Huo Ying were not satisfied with their conversation, so he said at this time: "Second Young Master has guests, I will go to other places and wait, we can talk later." It is troublesome to come here, he is planning to talk Have fun.

"Okay, then please trouble Mr. Yue to wait for me." Huo Ying said, looking at the manager again: "You treat Mr. Yue well."

"Yes, Second Young Master." The person in charge agreed, took Mu Qiong and others, and left through the side door of the house.

Not long after they left, the British and French delegations came to Huo Ying.

Seeing these people, Huo Ying felt a "thump" in his heart, and secretly said, "It's finally here."

At the same time, Mu Qiong and Yue Chaoying were taken to a study by the steward. The steward quickly brought some refreshments, and of course tea was indispensable.

The food delivered includes pastries, fruits, melon seeds and candied fruit, as well as snacks such as marinated chicken feet, even with chopsticks.

These things are delicious, but Mu Qiong and others are not in the mood to eat them. Mu Qiong said: "Teacher, what do you think people from Britain and France come here for?"

Yue Chaoying asked back, "What do you think they are here for?"

Mu Qiong said: "They should have come for Xilin."

It has been a long time since Xilin appeared, but Britain and France did not respond until now, which is a bit late.

Of course, this is not surprising.

These days, the traffic is inconvenient, the flow of information is not smooth, and things like medicine need time to test, let alone they are still fighting...

After tossing back and forth for a while, hasn't time passed for a long time?

"That's right." Yue Chaoying said: "Such a thing will definitely make people covet it, and I don't know if Huo Ershao has a way to preserve it... This is the treasure of our country, and it must not be taken away easily. "

"Second Young Master should have a solution." Mu Qiong said, although he said so, he didn't know what to do.

The Huo family is a warlord with some power. The government also wants to give Huo Ying face, but the big powers are different.

They don't take this country seriously at all, so how can they care about a warlord in this country?

If the big powers really have an opinion on the Huo family, when they have nothing to do, the Huo family will definitely be in trouble.

Mu Qiong suddenly thought, since Xilin is very precious, since many people want Xilin, can it be used as a bargaining chip in the upcoming peace talks?

World War I lasted four years, with more than 500 million dead.

It is now the end of 17, and next year, World War I will end with the surrender of Germany, and then peace talks will begin.

Today's China lacks everything. Compared with the great powers at this time, it is probably the difference between their country and some African countries before he crossed over.

And the more this is the case, the more they should speak up for themselves and fight for themselves.

Even if they can't stand up and straighten their backs for a short period of time, they should always work hard to stand up straight, and find ways to prevent the big powers from continuing to seek benefits from their country.

After the First World War, in order to restore themselves, the great powers dumped a large amount of goods and drugs to China, but they gave this country a hard punch.

Of course, he wanted to use Xilin in exchange for benefits. The most important thing was to find a way to keep Xilin in the next ten months.

Thinking of this, Mu Qiong fell into deep thought.

As for Yue Chaoying, he was in a bad mood right now, because he was afraid that Huo Ying would not be able to keep Xilin.

"Let's go out for a walk?" Yue Chaoying suggested.They can't do anything, and it's uncomfortable to just sit at this time, so it's better to go outside for a walk.

"Okay." Mu Qiong nodded, and Han Zhen also had no objection.

Mu Qiong's factory in Huo Ying could go anywhere, and Yue Chaoying was Huo Ying's distinguished guest, as long as he didn't go to places where others were not allowed, no one would stop him.

The steward who was ordered by Huo Ying to take care of them finally took them to visit Huo Ying's factory.

This factory is much larger than it was at the beginning, and it produces more products, such as buttons, with more styles.

Mu Qiong watched it become like this little by little, and he didn't think it was strange to see it now, but Yue Chaoying was very happy: "This factory is really good, if there are more factories like this, why worry about our country's industry? prosper?"

"If our industry wants to prosper, we still need technology and the soil that allows factories to take root." Mu Qiong said.Not to mention the technology in this country, those officials are really too corrupt...

Mu Qiong and Yue Chaoying walked and chatted, talking a lot, but when they reached a certain place, Yue Chaoying suddenly said: "The people over there don't look right!"

Yue Chaoying said it in a low voice, and after finishing speaking, he added: "It's the person on the left who is twenty steps away from us, hiding behind people."

Mu Qiong heard Yue Chaoying's words, took a look over there, and found something was wrong.

In order to allow Huo Ying to train more literate workers, he suggested that Huo Ying recruit young teenagers when he was recruiting, and Huo Ying did so.

His factory needs workers who can do fine work, and those teenagers are just right!Even some jobs require a lot of strength... There are not no young people who are strong, as long as they have enough food.

Because of this, the workers they saw along the way were not very old.

But the person Yue Chaoying pointed out was a bit older.

Not only that, but his skin is too tender.

Even if the conditions of these workers have improved a lot, they have become fatter and whiter, but they were born in poverty after all, and their daily work is not easy. Neither looked weather-beaten.

Thinking so, Mu Qiong glanced at the man again.

The man probably realized something was wrong and wanted to drive more, but Mu Qiong pointed at him without hesitation and said, "Arrest that man!"

The workers around were unable to react to Mu Qiong's sudden order. They didn't know who Mu Qiong wanted a pig for, but at this moment, one of them turned around and ran... They subconsciously chased after him. caught the man.

"Is this a spy?" The steward who brought Mu Qiong and others over was surprised when he saw this.

"Interrogate him, and then ask the other workers what happened." Mu Qiong said.

The person in charge immediately complied.

Huo Ying has quite a few capable people under his command. A few months ago, because of watching "The Secret Agent", he also cultivated some talents in this field. Now, as soon as Mu Qiong said this, someone immediately interrogated this spy up.

The person who was caught refused to confess, but after asking other workers in the factory, the manager found one thing, that is, the person who sneaked into Huo Ying's factory might not be the only one in front of him!

He immediately sent someone to arrest him, and at the same time, Huo Ying was bargaining with people from Britain and France.

Huo Ying was determined not to hand over Xilin.

He was reluctant to give away such lucrative things!

But he couldn't say that, he could only talk to these people to delay the time, and at the same time he was a little anxious.

Such a thing as bargaining can be delayed for a while and cannot be delayed for a lifetime, so what should he do next?Should we just hide and go home?

But he can go home, what about Fu Yun'an?

While Huo Ying was worried, he continued to deal with the person in front of him.

But at this time, on Mu Qiong's side, they followed the clues and found a dozen or so spies. What's interesting is that these ten or so people are not a group.

Some of these people were sent by other forces in the country, but some were Japanese or Chinese who had been trained by the Japanese.

Mu Qiong has always felt that Huo Ying's factory is very strictly controlled and should not be infiltrated by people. Unexpectedly, it is still inevitable. After arresting these people, Mu Qiong also found that there were two Japanese spies among them. Just mixed in.

They... have a task to do today?

Mu Qiong had such doubts, but he couldn't ask anything from the mouths of these two people. He could only vaguely guess that it was not just the two of them who just sneaked in today.

Mu Qiong stood up straight and looked towards the center of Huo Ying's factory.

There, originally used to produce Xilin, was full of things, and some people were busy there.

But a few months ago, the production equipment and people there had been removed, leaving only some fixed cultivation tanks that were not easy to move.

Of course, it wasn't an empty room. At the moment, there were some Xilin that had just been shipped from Shanxi, and some more precious raw materials that Huo Ying's factory could use.

These spies must have come for Xilin, especially the Japanese. He didn't catch all the Japanese. Maybe someone has already sneaked into the empty house...

Mu Qiong and Yue Chaoying came to visit Huo Ying in the afternoon, after such a toss, the sky had already darkened.

Mu Qiong ordered the spies to be tied up, and then asked the person in charge to prepare meals, and explained Yue Chaoying's preferences.

After the confession, seeing that Yue Chaoying didn't pay attention to this side, he suddenly said: "Find some trustworthy people, burn the place in the middle, and blame the Japanese spies."

Mu Qiong knew that most of Britain and France came for Xilin, and Huo Ying had no way to deal with Britain and France for the time being.

He was quite worried, but after seeing these spies, he suddenly had an idea, and it was a very good idea.

"Mu Shao..." The manager was startled, and set fire to his own factory?How can this work.

"You three masters told you to listen to me." Mu Qiong said, and then explained: "It makes people think... everything related to Xilin has been burned up." Although this method can only solve the immediate urgent need, but Barely still usable.

The person in charge immediately understood: "Yes, Mr. Mu."

Mu Qiong said again: "This matter must be kept secret."

The manager nodded and left immediately.

At this time, Gao Shengxi finally sneaked into the center of Huo Ying's factory by virtue of his superb skills.
