He did his best to protect the country's mining resources and railways.

During his tenure as General Shengjing, the Russo-Japanese War broke out, and he determined that the dangers posed by the Japanese to the Qing Dynasty were even greater than those of Tsarist Russia.

The Russo-Japanese War ended with the Japanese victory, but the people of the Qing Dynasty were still the ones who suffered losses. The South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd. was established, and then the Manchuria Railway Garrison.

Fengtian was the accompanying capital of the Qing Dynasty. As the longest military and political officer of the Qing Dynasty who governed Fengtian, Zhao Erxun worked hard to safeguard the sovereignty and rights of the Qing Dynasty. He was strong-willed, not afraid of force, and courageous in his duties.

Japan regards it as a thorn in its side and a thorn in its flesh.

He was ordered to come to Huguang and adhere to the policy of resisting foreign powers. However, the changing situation and the corruption and incompetence of the officials made him exhausted mentally and physically.

"Hey, as a human minister, it's hard to do something!"

Zhao Erxun sighed, opened the curtain of the west study room, and looked at the beautiful scenery of flowers blooming in the back garden, but he had no intention of admiring it.

"Commander, it's time to take a shower, change clothes, and prepare to go to the Yamen!"

A steward of the Governor's House came in and reported that he did not know that the Governor had not closed his eyes at noon.

"Okay, I'm going to take a bath right now."

Zhao Erxun had a tired look on his face. He obediently followed the chamberlain and the deacon to the east wing bathing room. He also needed to take a good bath, otherwise he would be out of energy and lose his dignity all afternoon.

At this time, it rained heavily in the sky. The rain in late spring and early summer is sometimes a thunderstorm. It comes very violently, but it doesn't last long.

Dense raindrops fell from the sky like pouring water.

The sun shines through the dark clouds, making the sky appear layer upon layer of darkness, making everything you see blurry.

In a short time, there was deep water on the ground.

The rain took advantage of the wind and hit the tiles, walls, windows, and leaves and branches of the Governor's Mansion, making a crackling sound with astonishing force.

At this time, a human figure flashed past in the rain like a ghost.

Although there was a dense heavy rain as a cover, it was not easy to find a way to sneak in among the densely packed outposts and hidden sentries in the Governor's Mansion.

It shows that this person is not only a veteran of sneak attacks, but also well versed in the posts in the Governor's Mansion.

Moreover, his personal martial arts skills and appearance are even more astonishing. He is very good at light kung fu. He is also dressed in black and has a Japanese sword on his back, making him look like a Japanese ninja.

In the backyard of the Huguang Governor's Mansion, there are flowers, trees, and luxuriant foliage. Sneaking there, you only need to avoid the sentries, but it provides a natural cover.

Keeping hidden along the way, the figure arrived at the backyard and stopped beside a row of low side rooms.

It was the residence of some of the governor's servants and rough women gardeners.

In front of a wing on the far left, the man pressed his hand on the door and slid it gently, and the latch inside retracted.

Immediately, a figure flashed in.

On the wooden couch in the room, a chamberlain and deacon, who was resting on the quilt in plain clothes, was already startled.

I saw his hand touching under the pillow, and there was already a dagger. He jumped off the bed and stepped forward to meet the enemy.

"Shh...it's me..." the figure shouted.

The chamberlain and deacon was startled, and the hand that raised the dagger hung in the air.

With the faint light coming from the window, he finally saw the face of the person coming.

"It's...a great military order!"

The chamberlain and deacon was suddenly frightened, his hanging hand fell weakly, and the dagger fell to the ground.

He whispered in shock:

"Da Wu Ling, why are you here at the Governor's Mansion? You...could it be that you personally..."

The visitor has a fair face with eagle eyes and a hooked nose. He is under forty years old. He is none other than Saburo Yoshida, the great military commander of the Huguang area of ​​the Black Dragon Society, the ronin warrior.

Saburo Yoshida gritted his teeth and grinned bitterly: "I was forced, but I must succeed this time."

As he spoke, a ferocious look flashed across his face.

His master is a famous ninjutsu master in the East Asian island country, and assassination is his specialty.

"However, this morning, a group of people suddenly came to the Governor's Mansion, and many strange guards were added to the Governor's side." The chamberlain and deacon said anxiously: "I'm afraid it's not easy to get close..."

"Guards? Hehe... I am not afraid of the most guards..." Saburo Yoshida snorted coldly:

"Let's stop talking nonsense. Do you know where the Governor is now?"

"I know that the Governor just went from the study to the shower room on the east side. He needs to take a bath and change clothes first, and then go to the Yamen."

The chamberlain walked to the window, pointed to a dimly lit window not far away, and said: "It's right there..."

"Are you sure?" Yoshida Saburo said solemnly.

He understands that he only has one chance to take action, and whether he succeeds or fails, his traces will be exposed.

"Of course I am sure. I just went to the west study in person and asked the Governor to take a bath."

"Okay, I'll go now. No matter whether you succeed or not, don't expose yourself and hide yourself deeply. From now on, I will contact you again." Saburo Yoshida said solemnly.

"Yes, it's a big military order, so please be careful..."

Saburo Yoshida patted the other party's shoulder, gently opened the door a crack, and disappeared into the heavy rain in a flash.

The chamberlain and deacon glanced outside, then closed the door and locked the inner bolt. His heart trembled slightly and his whole body trembled.

At this time, the rain in the sky still showed no sign of letting up. On the contrary, it seemed to be joining in the fun, getting heavier and heavier.

The rainwater on the roof flowed down from the eaves, dripping on the ground with a tinkling sound, causing countless splashes.

A figure climbed up the roof along a pillar like a gecko. He lowered his body and swam on the roof like a water snake.

The roof was covered with gray tiles. Under the cover of the pounding sound of rain, Saburo Yoshida quickly approached the shower room.

He clung to the tiles, and through the rain curtain in the air, he could see the hidden positions of some palace guards around him.

Although the heavy rain soaked them all, these people remained motionless, standing there like a rock.

However, their sights are all aimed towards the periphery.

The corners of Yoshida Saburo's grinning lips showed a hint of pride.

The black clothes that cling tightly to his body are a set of shark skin-specific water supports that will not hinder his movements even in the water.

He gently opened the skylight from the roof and hung a golden clock upside down. Through the layers of water vapor, he could vaguely see what was going on inside.

In a huge tall wooden barrel, a man-like person was sitting inside taking a bath, with his braids spread out and hanging outside the barrel.

Outside the bucket, a maid held a water bottle in her hand, scooping up hot water from the hot water bucket on one side and slowly pouring it on the man in the big wooden bucket.

There were two large charcoal stoves in the room, and the steam was rising upwards, covering the entire bathroom. It was very hazy when viewed from the skylight, and the specific appearance of the person in the bucket could not be clearly seen.

There should be nothing wrong!
