Chapter 40 The storm is coming

Did this living Bodhisattva smell something? But if he smelled it, how could he transfer the engineering team and the baggage team to his own command and increase his troops in disguise?

I am very low-key during this period. I have neither pulled up Xiaochao Street nor raised a big banner. I have not even written a thorn on the left foot of Master Wei, Qingming and Double Ninth Festival! I have not moved the historical gears, why do I say this?

After walking out of the command post, Yang Qiu kept thinking about what Li Yuanhong meant just now, and didn't even hear the shouting behind him. It was not until Bingwen pulled the corner of his clothes that he found that Xiao Anguo and Ma Kui had already chased him. He asked quickly: "Two brothers, why are you here?"

"It's not a mess in Nanhu Lake." Xiao Anguo sighed, and Ma Kui next to him had already said: "Zhang Biao was very angry just now, and brought the Third Battalion of the Artillery Battalion to withdraw, and ordered the battalions to start confiscating ammunition tomorrow morning. Except for the on-duty troops and officers who can keep some bullets, all the others will be handed over."

"Brother, this is not a good thing. Although I am in charge of Chu Wangtai, the current storm is so tight... I am afraid I can't get the bullets out. Have you asked? When will Shen Shukai come back? I always feel empty when there is no bullets. If something happens..." Xiao Anguo probably felt that he was too long-winded, and stopped and sighed.

As soon as he reminded him, Yang Qiu became secretly worried and regretted that he asked Shen Shukai to buy it alone. After all, it was worth millions of dollars and there were so many weapons. What should he do if he was willing to see money or leaked the news? Without this batch of arms, it would not affect the first step, but the second step would be too dangerous!

Ma Kui didn't pay attention to his expression and snorted coldly: "What a fool. The more you should trust the soldiers, the more you should trust the soldiers, but they actually ordered the confiscation of ammunition. This is clearly not to believe everyone. Everyone was already angry because of the money and the officers usually beat and scolded Wuchang. This time, I'm afraid you've gotten the answer to the Huzi brother..."

When Xiao Anguo saw Yang Qiu not speaking for a long time, he immediately rolled up his sleeves: "It is useless to say more. Whether it is a rioter or a soldier, the gun is a burned stick without bullets. In my opinion, it is better to just go out and steal dozens of boxes of him from the warehouse before talking about it."

"No!" Seeing that Xiao Anguo was a little anxious, Yang Qiu quickly stopped him, and saw that no one around paid attention to this place, and quickly said, "Two brothers, see you in our baggage camp tonight."

When they heard Yang Qiu was going back to the baggage camp to discuss, the two knew that they would definitely show up and deploy major events! So they stopped talking, and laughed dryly as if they were watching others, before they returned to the camp.

After saying goodbye to the two, Yang Qiu did not return to the camp immediately. Instead, he and Bingwen quietly walked around the small road to the house that Shen Shukai gave him. Manager Dong, who had been here, was very happy to see him. Only Bingwen was secretly shocked. Unexpectedly, Yang Qiu had his own mansion after only a month since he returned from Sichuan.

"Shopkeeper Dong, Miss Miao's injury..."

"Don't worry, it's much better. The doctor said that the wound had begun to be scabbed and the damaged muscles and bones were recovering well. I guess it would be healed in a few days." Although he lost his job in Chengdu, he escaped by mistake. Moreover, Yang Qiu exchanged a few pieces of paper for millions and a ship of arms. Manager Dong had already admired him so much that he lost his mind to serve here. Seeing Yang Qiu's eyes keep looking upstairs, he hurriedly said, "Miss Miao has just fallen asleep, do you want me to go..."

"No need." Yang Qiu waved his hand and said, "I didn't come to see her today. I have something to discuss with you."

"The villain dares not. Manager Shen said before leaving, "If you need it, just speak." Seeing that Yang Qiu's face was not good, shopkeeper Dong quickly dismissed the servants who were serving him and said, "You can give me instructions..."

"Shopkeeper Dong, is there any news from Manager Shen?"

Seeing his expression, Manager Dong guessed a little and was also secretly anxious. However, the telegram sent by Shen Shukai yesterday also made some sense and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, Manager Shen has already set off."

"Okay..." After hearing Manager Dong's words, Yang Qiu was stunned and knew that there was something wrong. However, He Shengyuan and Shen Shukai are very important to him now, so they can't be too arrogant. They can only hold back their suspicion and whisper: "That's good... I'm not hiding it. Some soldiers robbed their guns and escaped from the camp. They also said that the rioters in the mid-month period were going to initiate affairs in Wuchang!"

As soon as Manager Dong's face collapsed, the previous riots in Chengdu caused He Shengyuan to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars, and several other guys died. If Wuchang, which had a large army, started to make trouble, it would be terrible.

Seeing that the shopkeeper Dong looked nervous, Yang Qiu comforted: "You don't have to be too nervous. Yang Qiu can't protect Wuchang City, but Hankou and Hanyang are still a little sure. If the finance and personnel can be withdrawn, please withdraw. Please tell us not to leak the news! In addition, you can't stay here anymore. You need to go to Hankou as soon as possible, or just go to my place."

"I won't go to Hanyang..." As he was speaking, a cold snorted from the small building. Yang Qiu turned his head and looked at him. He saw Miao Luo wearing a loose silk skirt, with long hair spread on his shoulders, and a crutch was staring at him coldly.

"Miss Miao, why are you coming out?"

Yang Qiu quickly helped her downstairs before saying, "Hanyang is my territory, I..."

"No need to say more, I'll go to Hankou!" Miao Luo didn't give Yang Qiu a chance at all, and interrupted, "Killing the Tartars on August 15th! It is our great cause to restore the Han Dynasty, and it is the opportunity for Mr. Song and Mr. Zhongshan to lead thousands of heroes to bleed and sacrifice! Yang Qiu! If you want to make a fool, I will not let you go even if I turn into a ghost!"

Yang Qiu's face changed slightly. Unexpectedly, this stubborn girl protected the party so much. Now she is in prison and still not forgetting to threaten herself. If she knows her true thoughts in the future, would she...

The shopkeeper Dong next to him was afraid of a quarrel, so he quickly smiled and smoothed out: "Don't worry, sir, there are more than a hundred words in the Hanyang branch, so I will definitely ensure that Miss Miao is fine."

Yang Qiu abandoned the distracting thoughts. A few days later, he had no intention of fighting for justice even if he had fought for life and death. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Miao Luo's right hand, which made Bingwen, who was guarding next to him, stunned and wondered in his heart what the relationship between the two was.

Miao Luo didn't expect Yang Qiu to be so bold. He dared to belittle himself in front of others in broad daylight. His cheeks were flushed with shame, but his hands were held tightly and he couldn't even pull them out. So he didn't care about his foot injury and was ready to smash him with a crutch. But before he could do anything, he felt something cold in his palm. He looked down and saw that it was his lost pistol.

"Miss Miao, you are a girl who knows the general and is the bravest girl I have ever seen, but I still want to remind you not to do stupid things anymore, nor to be confused by what you see, and your eyes can sometimes deceive people!" After Yang Qiu said that, he took out a purse and handed it to her: "I will be very busy during this period, and I'm afraid I may not be able to come here. There are so many inconveniences when Manager Dong and others are old. Please keep the 50 bullets here, so you can protect him if you have any problems."

Manager Dong didn't expect that Yang Qiu was still thinking about himself at this moment, and his old eyes suddenly turned red, but before he could speak, Yang Qiu had already stuffed a few pieces of paper and said, "There are some things in it. While it's still peaceful outside, please help me prepare. I will send someone to pick it up in a few days. I will order someone to send a few guns tomorrow. You can find a few caring people to protect yourself. In addition... you can find a way to contact Manager Shen and ask where he is. I'm urgently using it."

"Don't worry, you've got the things, but in order to cover up, the boat needs to go around the sea to come back. He said he should be able to arrive during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Mid-Autumn Festival, I hope it can be too late..." Even after hearing the guarantee, Yang Qiu was still a little worried. If such a large group of arms were investigated, it would not be a matter of losing his head. And if he could not arrive before the Yangxia War, he would inevitably be blocked on the Yangtze River by the navy led by Sa Zhenbing.

Miao Luo, who was next to him, became more and more nervous when he heard Yang Qiu say something. For some reason, his heart also got tugged, but he couldn't help asking, so he could only snorted coldly: "Hmph, do you want me to talk to them and not kill you, a traitor after the incident!"

"Miss Miao..." Yang Qiu smiled slightly, took a deep breath and said with a strong face. He looked at her and said, "There were so many misunderstandings between you and me in the past. Today I don't want to explain anything. Yang Qiu just wants to tell you that I am not a lackey or a traitor. I am just a soldier. My responsibility is to protect this prosperous place and protect the people here. If anyone dares to hurt them, I will punish him even if he is far away from him!"

The powerful words made Miao Luo and Shopkeeper Dong suddenly shocked. Before they could speak, Yang Qiu took Bingwen out.

Looking at the upright back that disappeared behind the tree shadow, Miao Luo felt sad and held the pistol in his palm tightly. Thinking of Yang Qiu coming to see her every now and then, chatting with her, telling her stories and amusing her. Thinking of the day he tearing off his pants to cure his injuries, thinking of the "comrade" who shot him to survive, his eyes turned red without any reason, and tears came out and lying on the small table and sobbing.

Manager Dong didn't know how to persuade him, so he sighed: "Girl, don't talk about the old man's long-windedness. I have seen many people in my life, but none of them can match this Lord Yang. He must do a big thing this time! So you... just now... should really give him a word to be careful."

The old shopkeeper's words made Miao Luo even more at a loss and could only stomp his feet and go back upstairs first.

After walking out of the Yangchan alley, a tense atmosphere began to spread on the streets. Three steps, one post, five steps, one whistle, and teams of soldiers in the city patrol camp were coming and going to check everyone, and the breath of wind and rain was about to arrive.

After several young students took a few steps after undergoing the examination, they spat at the backs of the bandit-like soldiers patrolling the city: "Lacking dog!"

Just two short words made his heart squeeze suddenly. Looking at the students' eyes full of hatred when they left, he suddenly couldn't understand whether he was right or wrong in doing this. For that ray of light, he was willing to give his life, but what if... still fail?

Beiyang, which is known as the number one in the north, the joint efforts of Yuan Shikai and Feng Guozhang will be far more suffocating than the anxiety that is flooding the city at this moment. Can you keep them by yourself in the beautiful and rich towns of the Han River?
