Chapter Twenty: Shentree Kai (Seeking Recommendations, Increased Updates)

  This sentence made both of them break out in a cold sweat, because Yang Qiu had never revealed his identity from start to finish!

  Xiao Anguo's whole body was trembling, and he instinctively wanted to fire his gun backwards. The man who was speaking suddenly thought it was bad and forgot that the two were now startled birds, so he hastily shouted in panic: "Sir, I have no ill intentions."

  Yang Qiu, who was holding Miao Luo, finally turned around to take a clear look at the man who spoke. He was in his thirties, not very tall, about 1.56 meters, wearing a gray long shirt with a neat collar and sleeves that were folded neatly. Especially his eyes, probably because he had just been called out, gave him a feeling of being seen through everything.

  Seeing Xiao Anguo aiming his gun at him, the man was also tense and waved his hand continuously to introduce himself: "Two adults, I am Shen Shu Kai, no malicious intent."

  "Shen Shu Kai?" Yang Qiu felt that this name seemed familiar, Shen Shu Kai saw him frowning and thinking, still thinking he had remembered himself, and hastily reminded: "General Biao, I am the manager of He Sheng Yuan."

  "Unity is strength!"

  Don't even mention He Shengyuan, at the mere mention of this name, the scene of being stabbed to death on the streets of Chengdu immediately came to mind. Yang Qiu was suddenly furious, if it wasn't for their betrayal, how would he have mistakenly killed Wang Tianjie, so that now there is no room for compromise, even the assassination and Miao Luo's injury just now, are all caused by He Shengyuan!

  Moreover, with Wang Tianjie's death, he and the party temporarily lost the possibility of negotiation, forcing him to take another extremely difficult path. Now if Miao Luo dies here, it is estimated that he will not be able to wash himself clean for the rest of his life.

  "Finish him!" Yang Qiu didn't want to say another word, and simply prepared to let Xiao Anguo shoot and leave, then think of other ways.

  "Director Yang is still angry." Shen Shukai saw the situation and couldn't help but laugh and cry, pointing at Miao Luo and saying: "Killing me doesn't matter, after all, the reason for tonight's events was also caused by my collaboration with Shengyuan to provoke Director Yang. However, this young lady really can't be delayed."

  At this time, the streets finally echoed with dense footsteps. Shen Shu Kui glanced outside and hastily handed a note to Xiao An Guo, saying: "Sir, I'll take care of this young lady from now on. The address where I am is written on the paper, sir can come find me anytime."

  It was probably to reassure Yang Qiu that Shen Shukai patted his hand, and saw another familiar face walking out from behind, it was the old shopkeeper of Chengdu Heshengyuan Branch.

  Lao Zhanggui saw Yang Qiu and immediately knelt down: "Yang Daren, the matter in Chengdu was due to my lack of discipline, so I came specifically today to apologize to you."

  As soon as he saw Old Yang, he knew the other party wasn't lying. He had originally wanted to ask them why they appeared here, but the footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, and he was also a bit flustered. Although he still didn't quite believe Shen Shu Kai, if he took Miao Luo out like this, it would probably only bring trouble for himself.

  Xiao Anguo saw through his thoughts and said, "Brother, don't blame me for being nosy. If we take Miao Niang out now, it's likely to be a real mess. Besides, He Shengyuan is not a small family, how about......"

  Yang Qiu thought for a moment and felt that it made sense. If Shen Shu Kai had intended to harm himself, there was no need to mention the name of He Sheng Yuan. So, he gritted his teeth and handed Miao Luo over to the other party, saying: "Thank you both, but I'll say something ugly first, if this lady has any accidents, don't blame me for being impolite!"

  "Don't worry, I'll do my best to help." Shentree Kai nodded and saw Yang Qiu about to leave. His eyes flashed with a reminder: "Sir, tonight's patrol soldiers seem to have arrived later than usual, you'd better be careful."

  Yang Qiu, who was just about to leave, suddenly stopped in her tracks, and a spark of anger flashed in her eyes as she turned to look at Shen Shu Kui.

  The fierce and terrifying gaze, like a beast, made Shen Shu-kai and the old shopkeeper feel a chill in their necks. After Yang Qiu and Xiao An-guo left, they looked at each other and secretly smiled wryly, not knowing if they had done right or wrong this time.

  "Xiao Gege, Yang Gege, are you guys alright?!"

  As soon as the two returned to the main street, they saw Bingwen and Ma Kui rushing over with guns in hand. Xiao Anguo scratched his head in surprise and asked: "You... how did you end up here?"

  That's right.

  Ma Kui hastily explained: "After you went to the banquet, Bingwen always felt that something was not right, saying that on the way back there might be no one to protect and there would be trouble. As soon as I heard it, I also thought so, so I brought a few brothers out. Unexpectedly, just arrived at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, I heard the sound of gunfire."

  "Xingwen?" Xiao Anguo looked at Xingwen and patted him on the shoulder with gratitude: "You little guy, you really have a bit of cleverness. Why don't I take you to Chu Wangtai? You can also give me some advice."

  When he saw Yang Qiu, he scratched his own head and smiled, and Bingwen let out a big sigh of relief. Seeing another large group of soldiers coming from afar, he quickly led everyone to disperse and protect themselves. After he walked away, Xiao Anguo quietly poked Yang Qiu with his arm and whispered in his ear: "You said that Bingwen wouldn't have any problems, right?"

  I didn't expect Xiao Anguo to have a delicate side, Yang Qiu nodded slightly: "He should know something, but because I killed Wang Tianjie and harmed so many party members in Sichuan, he has always had a knot in his heart for me. However, it's not that he would betray us, otherwise this kid wouldn't have reminded me to be careful twice this morning."

  Actually, he's fine in every way, but he still hasn't turned over a new leaf. The Qing remnants should be killed, but what about those party members? Are there any who are truly capable of governing the country? That Sun Yat-sen is just all talk, always asking for donations and support from the east and west. But after so many years have passed, has he ever built even an inch of railway for the common people? Has he ever really trained a single army unit with dedication? Don't tell me there's no territory to work with, there are so many supporters in Southeast Asia, it would be easy to train a whole regiment overseas, but what about him?

  Japan is indeed running fast, but it has completely forgotten the humiliation of the First Sino-Japanese War! In this regard, it's not even as good as the Beiyang government.

  "Just talking about tonight, selling friends for survival, shameless! This kind of person can even turn over the Qing dynasty and sit safely under heaven? Moreover, don't forget that there is also a Yuan Datou in the north! If something really happens in the three towns, when the northern troops come, it will be the common people here who suffer in the end."

  Yang Qiu's words were a mix of truth and falsehood, at least he now needs to put on an appearance of taking the middle road. Xiao Anguo didn't notice his expression, after listening, he also sighed in his heart, saying in a low voice: "I hope this is the last time, otherwise... there will be no brothers left."

  A large number of city patrol soldiers began to rush from all directions, one was the banner commander who would take office tomorrow, and the other was Chu Wangtai's Pingku, who could not be succeeded by anyone but a close relative. They were assassinated on their own turf in broad daylight, with both sides firing over a hundred shots. This is indeed a shocking event.

  So several officers from the patrol camp came up to greet them, and then took soldiers to start searching house by house, causing the whole old city to fall into a chaotic situation, which made Yang Qiu secretly worried that Shen Shu-kai might not be able to avoid it.

  Xiao Anguo knew his mind, gave a reassuring look, and He Shengyuan was not a small shopkeeper, he could make a fortune in this chaotic world, that didn't have some cunning tricks.

  When such a serious thing happened on the street, it couldn't be over like this, so Yang Qiu and Xiao Anguo went to see Li Yuanhong and Zhang Biao again, telling them about the situation, only hiding Miao Luo's affairs, and then returned to the camp amidst Zhang Biao's fiery anger.

  As Ma Kui ordered to strengthen the guard, Yang Qiu thought of the injured Miao Luo again and was still a bit worried.

  "This was what the admiral had us transport for the foreigners last time." Seeing Yang Qiu's uneasy face, Xiao An Guo immediately knew his thoughts and went back inside to fetch a small package which he handed over: "Leave early and return early, I'll cover for you here, in case someone comes to investigate."

  Yang Qiu opened the package and saw that it was all Western medicine, with a wide variety of types and even medical pliers, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, big brother."

  "You and I are brothers, why be so polite? These were originally left for my own use, just in case I get injured and have no medicine to cure me. But tomorrow I'm going into the military camp, probably won't have any more fools coming to provoke me."

  Yang Qiu didn't want to say much, he just patted the big man's shoulder and took a deep breath: "Don't worry, brother. From now on, as long as I, Yang Qiu, eat, you won't have to drink soup!"

  "Get out, I've just received the governor's silver and become the confidant of the commander-in-chief. When will I need to rely on your pale face for a living? Go save your cruel wife instead!" After Xiang Anguo kicked Yang Qiu away with one foot while laughing, he sat under the lamp thinking for a moment before getting up and heading towards Bingwen's dormitory.
