Chapter 141(2/3)
When Lu Hongda saw him come in, his face was no longer as gentle as when he was outside. He knew that he was defeated this time, and he was extremely disappointed with himself. He just pretended nothing in front of outsiders just to protect his face. Now that there are no outsiders, he naturally doesn't have to give himself a good face.
Sure enough, Tu Fei said coldly: "You know that I have just been in office for a short time. I know how many good things I have said and how many conditions I have won to help you master Beijing? This is your reward for me? How do you tell me to report on your job when you go back this time?"
Lu Hongda cursed in his heart.
He knew exactly what kind of intentions the Japanese people would have.
From a deep heart, if possible, he would not want to become a tool for the other party.
This is different from other things. This is a serious crime that has been infamous for all ages, and anyone must consider it.
He originally planned to defeat the capital, and after becoming the president, he would be in vain with the other party, seek checks and balances between other countries, and take one step at a time, and never agree easily until the end.
But now, he had no room for anything. He was too big and he took the final step.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I had already gained a great advantage in the battle of Liujiakou. I didn't expect He Hanzhu to be so cunning. I blame me for neglecting and underestimating the enemy! If there is another time, I will never repeat the same mistake. Don't worry, General!"
He blamed himself, but his meaning was obvious. This time he lost the battle was all because of his negligence, not because he had no strength.
"He Hanzhu?" Tu Fei repeated the name.
He is naturally familiar with this name.
"It's your enemy? Didn't you borrow a weapon expert to plan the operation before the war? Why did you fail?"
"He is so cunning! He discovered the time bomb in his car."
Speaking of this, Lu Hongda thought that he was wronged and forced to escape from the capital. He was ready to start a war in a hurry, and he became more and more angry and gritted his teeth.
Tu Fei narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment: "Do you need me to do it?"
Lu Hongda has been dealing with the Eastern people for a long time and knows that the people of this nation are strong in their bones. Not only that, they are full of contempt for the weak who are inferior to them and will not treat them equally.
Although they use the other party as their backer, they also have their own responsibilities. If they can't even deal with someone with personal grudges and need to solve the problem, how can they have the confidence to deal with the other party in the future?
Moreover, although he needs a backer, he is not an ordinary person after all. He still wants this little face and self-esteem.
"No, I understand your kindness. I will deal with this matter as soon as possible! He is a confidant, and I will never let him live forever!"
Lu Hongda immediately declined.
Seeing that he was determined, Tu Fei nodded and then remembered something: "It is said that Liao Shouguang from Tiancheng also died in the war this time?"
Lu Hongda showed regret on his face and said yes. Seeing the fat man pondering, he seemed to be thinking about something and guessing something.
The Liao family used to have some control over the Fu family. After Liao Shouchang's death, the Fu family was also taken over by the new leader Fu Mingcheng, and Liao Shouguang there could no longer control it. He knew this.
Now that I'm fine, even Liao Shouguang is dead.
Lu Hongda said: "General, are you considering the future control of Fu? If you have difficulties, when I settle down, I will do my best to plan for you, General."
Tu Fei said lightly: "You don't have to worry about this anymore. I have my own arrangements."
"That's good." Lu Hongda smiled apologized.
He was so embarrassed about this defeat. Now he followed Tu Fei to the side like this. To be honest, he looked too ugly.
Lu Hongda thought about it and finally made up his mind: "General, have you heard of the former Yi Wang Cellar? "
Tu Fei's eyes moved.
Seeing that he seemed to be interested and was greatly energetic, Lu Hongda explained his background and finally said, "This is also the cause of the hatred between me and He Hanzhu. After the He family searched the house, although I could not find anything, I never gave up. According to reliable information, General Zheng had descendants who survived. If the cellar was true, it was very likely that the thing would fall into the hands of General Zheng's descendants. In my speculation, such a large amount of wealth could not be hidden far, and it should be in the area where King Yi was active in the last few years. General Zheng's descendants, as the guardian of the cellar, would never go too far. So over the years, I have sent people to visit General Zheng's descendants in that area, and now there is finally a clue."
"Who!" Tu Fei immediately asked.
Lu Hongda wanted to use this as a letter of fame and privately offer it to the earth and fertilizer so that he could win his full support. Otherwise, if the other party had someone else to support in the future, he would definitely be abandoned as an abandoned son.
"I have to thank the boy named He. The man attracted my attention because he went to Kanxi to quell the rebellion at the beginning of the year, and helped him a lot. Whether it was his age, identity, or past experience, the more I thought about it, the more I felt it was possible..."
Suddenly, at this moment, a thud sounded behind the screen opposite, as if something had fallen and hit the floor.
The warship was sailing, and it was already unstable, and the tea in the cup was shaking.
Or if you encounter waves just now, the thing hanging on the wall is shaken to the ground.
Tu Fei turned his head and looked at it, frowned, and signaled Lu Hongda to wait, get up and get down, walk to the screen, and lean on to look.
He Hanzhu hid behind the screen, and at this moment he was as fast as a cheetah. He raised his knife and cut off the fat throat that had just reached in his head with one knife.
Before Tu Fei could make any sound, she felt a sudden pain in his throat. Then, with a whoosh, air directly poured into his lungs without passing through his mouth and nose. At this time, his eyes finally jumped into the face of a thin and cold young man.
He opened his eyes wide and yelled twice, but before he could have any other physical reaction, his chest cooled down again.
The dagger that had just cut his throat penetrated into his heart again.
He saw the young man holding the handle of the dagger, snatching it hard on his chest a few times, and finally pulling it out.
The back of the screen was filled with blood in an instant.
Tu Fei opened her eyes wide and stared at the person in front of her who came out of nowhere. Her mouth was like a goldfish in the water, silently opening and closing. Finally, with the support of the young man, her body slowly fell down and lay at the other party's feet.
Lu Hongda didn't care at first.
He had said so much just now and felt a little thirsty. He picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and suddenly raised his eyes, but saw that Tu Fei had some idea of what was wrong, and his body suddenly tilted straight over. Then, there seemed to be some huge attraction behind the screen, and he sucked him in.
Lu Hongda was still holding a teacup in his hand, and then watched Tu Fei's two feet wearing white cotton socks shrink into the screen and disappear from his eyes.
Accompanied by the strange sound of hoho like a pipe leaking, water splashed onto the screen, and then everything calmed down, as if nothing had happened.
The whole process is only seven or eight seconds.
Lu Hongda was surprised and called out to the general. He didn't hear any response. He immediately put down the teacup, jumped off the tatami, and rushed behind the screen. When he was about to arrive, suddenly, he saw a wisp of blood slowly seeping out from the foot of the screen.
His pupils suddenly opened wide, he turned around and ran towards the door.
"Come--"
How could He Hanzhu allow him to escape and call someone? He jumped out from behind the screen like a tiger, put the belt he had just pulled out, and immediately put it on Lu Hongda's neck from behind, and then tightened it.
Lu Hongda was strangled to his neck. Knowing that something was wrong, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed the belt that was put on his neck, and pulled it hard, trying to leave some room to breathe.
He Hanzhu dragged his legs and kicked Lu Hongda, who was struggling hard, dragged a few steps, causing him to pounce on the ground, pressed his back with his knees, and used his body's strength to fix him firmly.
Lu Hongda's hands desperately pulled the belt that was tighter and tighter, and his face turned purple.
With the last bit of strength, he shook his head hard and begged for mercy in a vague way: "Wait a minute... I have something to say..."
He Hanzhu relaxed slightly.
Lu Hongda opened his mouth wide, breathing desperately, and said intermittently: "I regret it... Give me a chance... I was telling me your grandfather to the court that time... But I was also used by someone to kill someone with a knife... Why is it so coincidental that I just needed your grandfather's charge, and the descendant of the traitor under General Zheng came up to remind me... I was actually used by someone... I have guessed who it is... If you spare me, I will tell you..."
He Hanzhu's eyes were scarlet and his eyes were dripping blood. The blue veins on the back of his hand suddenly burst out, gritting his teeth, exerting force, tightening the belt again.
Lu Hongda's eyes turned and could no longer speak. Gradually, he stopped struggling. The two hands holding the belt also softened and remained motionless.
He Hanzhu continued to exert force, and after a while, he confirmed that Lu Hongda was in a state of excitement, and finally, he slowly let go of his hand.
He closed his blood-red eyes, opened it, looked at the dead enemy who was lying motionless at his feet, pulled the belt from his neck and tied it back to his waist.
At this time, a knock came from the door.
"General? Mr. Lu? What's wrong with you? Is it okay?"
He Hanzhu identified the voice of the military officer Yoshida.
Just now, in order to prevent people from disturbing outside, he did not use a gun. But when Lu Hongda was strangled, the sound of kicking him out should have been heard.
He quickly fastened his belt and looked at the time.
The bomb here has been lifted by him just now due to temporary changes in the plan.
But there were less than two minutes left before the explosion below.
He dragged Lu Hongda's body on the ground back, hid in the screen with Tu Fei, and stood by himself.
Doi and Lu Hongda had a private conversation, and Yoshida and Lu Hongda's adjutant were guarding the door. He knocked on the door for a while, but he never heard the response. The two looked at each other and felt something was wrong. They forced the door to break, but there was no one inside.
And on that tatami, the tea was still emitting a lingering heat.
"General!"
"Master Lu!"
The two of them called out a few times and looked around. Yoshida soon saw blood under the seat of the screen. He was shocked, and immediately pulled out his gun and walked over slowly.
At this moment, suddenly, accompanied by a dull and violent explosion from below, the floor under his feet seemed to encounter an earthquake and trembled.
At the same time, He Hanzhu fired a shot.
Yoshida was shot in the forehead and the person was overturned to the ground.
Lu Hongda's adjutant was shocked. He knew something was wrong and turned around to escape. He was also shot in the back of his heart and rushed to the door.
"Come"
He struggled, crawling out, hissing and roaring.
But no one could hear his shouts. Even the two gunfires just now were completely swallowed up in the explosion sound coming from the bottom of the deck.
All the sailors were alarmed and ran towards the turret in the center of the ship. Suddenly, "Boom--"
It was only a few dozen seconds before the first explosion sound, as if something buried the curse below was awakened, and the second explosion followed one after another.
This explosion completely overturned the base above the fort, and a nearby chimney collapsed and crashed on the deck. The officers and soldiers who had no time to hide were pressed down on the spot, screaming one after another.
To be continued...
