Thirty-seven: Suddenly
The sky had just turned bright, and the city of Anxi after the war was still silent in its sleep. A few dog barkings came from the darkness in the streets and alleys. A blazing light shone on the towering guard tower. The darkness was illuminated and no heresy happened.
The soldiers on the garrison cursed, "I was scared, what do I think it was."
"You are depressed. After a war, Anxi won. Now all walks of life are paying attention to Anxi. Who is so bold and dares to come to Anxi to make trouble at this time? Wouldn't that cause trouble?"
"Yes, I saw a phantom just now and thought it was someone with ulterior motives." The soldier said as he yelled, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "It's finally dawn."
"Hey, look who that is?" The previous soldier looked down at the streets of Anxicheng. In the morning and evening, a figure was running hard in a short struck.
"Isn't this the boy who is the young lady Xinyi? What kind of wind is this? Who is chasing him?" The two looked down, but did not find any figure.
"I can't guess thoroughly, and I don't know what he is doing." The two looked at each other and looked elsewhere.
Cheng Geng was sweating profusely. He had to recover his strength in the shortest time. He wanted to go to the Longbei Plain to find Zhang Jingfang, but his health had not been healed, so he simply used this extreme method.
A pain came from his chest, and the position he kicked by the desert eagle began to hurt again. Sweat oozing out of his forehead and his breathing became difficult.
I wanted to persist in rushing back to Zhang's mansion, but it was impossible to move, so I finally fell to the ground and rolled up. It was a heart-wrenching pain.
"Are you okay?"
Cheng Geng reluctantly looked up and found a cold cheek covered with melancholy. He remembered that the sound was the person who was arguing with Zhang Jingrui.
Cheng Geng couldn't speak, and his face looked very ugly. Huang Guodong hurriedly helped Cheng Geng up, but Cheng Geng couldn't stand up. Huang Guodong hurriedly leaned over and carried Cheng Geng back and walked towards his residence.
This is a restaurant, not very luxurious. Huang Guodong came to his residence, opened the door and walked in. He put Cheng Geng on his bed. He originally wanted to leave the city at dawn, but he did not expect that Zhang Jingrui ordered the city gate to be closed for a month to renovate. He became anxious for a moment.
Now tens of thousands of comrades in the Tongmenghui were convicted of warlords in order to Anxi, and there were encirclement and suppression everywhere. Mr. Sun was worried. When he overthrew Qingting, everyone was disturbed by the corrupt court and was determined to overthrow the entire Qing regime. He did not think so much about it. After that, he became famous, but it was tantamount to being guilty of the world. All warlords who had grasped military power and planned the world were deeply afraid of Mr. Sun.
Mr. Sun wanted to save the whole world, but he didn't think so much about it. He overthrew the entire Qingting, but made the China even more broken. He was worried and broke a kind of peace. He wanted to establish an order, which required force and bloodshed.
With the heart of saving the country, he founded the Tongmenghui, which means offensive and defensive alliances, striving for turmoil, and saving the current situation of China as his own responsibility. However, in this hungry era, warlords are based on their own interests and can't care about anything else.
He wanted to pass on the existing news and tell Mr. Sun about the entire situation in Anxi, and he had no choice but to do so, one of the five Mr. Tongmenghui.
Zhang Jingrui asked the Tongmenghui to provide a list, which was obvious. He would be wary of the Alliance. Now that the Tongmenghui comrades are persecuted, he no longer cares about so many. The plan for the present is to let Zhang Jingrui open the city gate as soon as possible, so that all the Tongmenghui comrades enter Anxi and preserve their strength.
But Mr. Sun didn't know all this, what should we do in such a hurry?
Cheng Geng stood up and sat up from the bed. Huang Guodong smashed the table with his hand and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Huang Guodong quickly turned around and said, "You are awake."
Cheng Geng nodded, "I see you were depressed just now, I wonder what is difficult?"
"Yes, it's a big difficult thing." Huang Guodong looked at the streets outside, his heart one after another.
"I heard you talk about Mr. Sun with Zhang Jingrui that day."
"Who are you?" Huang Guodong stood up, his eyes showing a look of vigilance.
.
"Don't get me wrong, I was the patient who was lying in bed that day, and I heard the conversation between you."
Huang Guodong vaguely remembered that when he was in the air-raid shelter that day, he saw that one of the eight King Kongs had put down, and asked quickly, "Are you Zhang Jingrui's man? I wouldn't have saved you if I had known."
"You misunderstood again. I have nothing to do with Zhang Jingrui." Cheng Geng walked out of bed, "To be honest, I did hear the conversation between you that day. In fact, I also understand what Zhang Jingrui means. He is not that."
"Hmph, if you go back on your word, who can say it correctly? Mr. Sun really shouldn't have saved him." Huang Guodong cursed.
"Then you are wrong. Looking at the entire China, there are those who are good at the 36th Supervisor. Just think about it, which of these people are as easy to deal with as Zhang Jingrui." Cheng Geng sighed, "If Anxi had not been safe this time, I'm afraid the whole world would never find a happy place."
Huang Guodong stared at Cheng Geng and sighed for a long time, "What you said makes sense, but this time the Tongmenghui suffered huge losses. If this continues, all Mr. Sun's plans over the years will be ruined."
"Actually, Zhang Jingrui needs time to fight for it." Cheng Geng remembered that Zhang Jingrui knew that he had lost all his support overnight and was hurt deep in his heart. He was wary of everyone. "In fact, there is a friend who has a lot to do with Mr. Sun. Now that this person has passed away, I am really willing to help my brother."
"You?" Huang Guodong said worriedly, "What can you do?"
"My dead friend has been influenced by me. I yearn for Mr. Sun. Now I am willing to do my best to let Zhang Jingrui stand on Mr.
"Who is your friend?" Huang Guodong asked, "There are no people in the entire Tongmenghui who I don't know."
"Zhuo Bufei." Cheng Geng said it.
"Mr. Zhuo?" Huang Guodong asked hurriedly, "Do you think Mr. Zhuo is dead?"
Cheng Geng nodded. Huang Guodong said in a loss of his mind, "I said that there has been no news from Mr. Zhuo since a few months later. He borrowed two cars from me, saying that he wanted to offer a great gift to Mr. Zhuo, which could help Mr. Zhuo calm the whole world and build the people." He looked at Cheng Geng and said, "Who are you from Mr. Zhuo?"
"It's a friend who has forgotten his age." Cheng Geng remembered Zhuo Bufei's appearance when he explained the Tongmenghui, and felt sad.
Huang Guodong reached out to support Cheng Geng's shoulder and said, "It's Mr. Zhuo's friend, that's my friend Huang Guodong. I'm not polite. If you have any ideas, you can't hold on. If you don't retreat, you may have been wiped out."
Cheng Geng said strangely, "Don't they know to hide it?"
"You don't know, how could these scholarly people bow their heads?" Huang Guodong said worriedly, "We just gathered those like-minded comrades and had no consideration in this regard, so we were so embarrassed."
"Simple person." Cheng Geng thought and walked, "Now Anxi has just calmed down the chaos, and all forces are eyeing each other. Zhang Jingrui is considering not wanting to offend the world."
"But this Tongmenghui saved Anxi." Huang Guodong said anxiously, "Shouldn't this help from Tongmenghui?"
Cheng Geng smiled at Huang Guodong and said, "After all, the Tongmenghui has no capital. Think about it, Mr. Sun has a foundation for his life to make a living? For example, guns, money, and living territory?"
Huang Guodong shook his head. Cheng Geng continued, "It is not enough to rely on a group of scholars who are angry. Is Zhang Jingrui thinking that you have any conspiracy to steal Anxi?"
Huang Guodong kept nodding, and he felt that what Cheng Geng said made sense.
Cheng Geng continued, "Now in China, only Anxi can take you in. Since he has some concerns, let's dispel his concerns. Didn't he ask for a list? Just give him a list. Don't you believe that Mr. Sun's charm is not enough to convince Zhang Jingrui?"
Huang Guodong stared at Cheng Geng and secretly thought about his words.
"If you give it to the list, I am willing to add icing on the cake. When I give you a gift, I promise Zhang Jingrui can't resist."
Huang Guodong paced in the room, looking at the sky outside the window,
After a long time, he nodded, "That's all."
In the hall of Zhang Mansion, Huang Guodong paced worriedly, but Zhang Jingrui was not seen for a long time. Instead, Cheng Geng sat calmly on the chair, picked up the teacup and started drinking.
"What does this mean? We have been waiting for an incense stick. When will we see his figure?" Huang Guodong was worried.
"You don't have to be too anxious, he is testing you." Cheng Geng reminded, "Even if you are anxious, if Zhang Jingrui disagrees, you may have no other way. Since you come, you can rest assured."
"Brother Cheng, you don't know anything. I have a mission. The lives of so many brothers are worrying. How can I not be in a hurry?"
Cheng Geng did not respond. He put down the teacup, but was worried about Zhang Jingfang.
"Brother Huang, I'm busy with work. I heard from the guards that you want to give me a generous gift, why should you be so polite?" Zhang Jingrui walked out. When he saw Cheng Geng and Huang Guodong together, he was a little surprised and then recovered. "You have made contributions to Anxi. You are Anxi's friend at any time, so you don't need to bring generous gifts."
"Young Governor, I don't like to beat around the bush. If I have something to say, I will just say it." Huang Guodong took out a booklet from his arms. This is the list he hastily prepared. "This is what you want. I fulfilled my promise. Please keep your promise. Open the city now and send a message to Mr. Sun to agree to accept all members of the Tongmenghui."
Zhang Jingrui's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, "I actually agreed." His eyelids twitched, but he did not answer the booklet. He slowly said, "It's not that I don't want to accept the Tongmenghui, but Anxi is now in ruins and it is difficult to resist the attack again. If I accept the people, it will be a disaster. From now on, Anxi will not be at peace. However, I have to provide financial and various assistance to the Tongmenghui to repay the kindness of the Tongmenghui. How about it?"
"There are no people, what else can I repay you?" Huang Guodong looked at Zhang Jingrui idealistically, glaring at him, "I feel disappointed with the young general. I thought the young general was the star who could save the world and help the danger, but I didn't expect that he was also a person who wanted to gain fame."
Zhang Jingrui looked ugly and sneered, "As long as Brother Huang likes, I can scold you as much as possible, I will never blame you."
Cheng Geng stood up and said to Huang Guodong, "Brother Huang, can I allow me to talk to the young governor alone?"
Huang Guodong snorted coldly and walked outside.
Zhang Jingrui punched the table, but he couldn't vent his anger.
"If I am you, I will agree to them." Cheng Geng suggested.
Zhang Jingrui said angrily, "Don't think that if you don't kill you to me, you can do whatever you want in front of me."
"Who is Mr. Sun? He is equivalent to a famous scholar in the Three Kingdoms period, who is the Tongmenghui? He is all like Huang Guodong and has talents of the world. If he could use them all for you, have you ever thought about what Anxi would look like?" Cheng Geng opened a scene for Zhang Jingrui.
Zhang Jingrui looked at Cheng Geng, "I doubt you are also from the Tongmenghui?"
"Famous scholars like to be valued. You are just afraid that they have plans, so you are wary of these people. You can arrange a place similar to the concession to let these people live in it, start a family and start a business, and promise important tasks. I don't believe anyone can resist such temptation. In that case, you have mastered an advanced think tank. You are good at your reputation and can also get a strong think tank. Why not worry about not being able to strengthen your ancestral property in the future?"
Zhang Jingrui's face was as deep as water, thinking about Cheng Geng's words, "Do you mean to be in captivity?"
"Yes, this is the best way. If you reject Mr. Sun, that is to reject famous scholars in the world, and your reputation will be damaged from now on. You can think about which one is more important."
Zhang Jingrui nodded and said to the guard, "Let him come in."
Huang Guodong walked in, and Zhang Jingrui hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Huang, I am a brother, I am as stupid as a pig, but please believe it, I just want to test you. Now I will send someone a message to Mr. Sun immediately, let Tongmenghui enter Anxi, and I will even draw out many places to let these benefactors live in peace and life. This will be their home in the future."
Everything was too sudden, and Huang Guodong didn't even believe his ears, but Zhang Jingrui's fearful look made him lose his judgment!
