Cao Kun was still searching for the female assassin in the courtyard, and a good dinner was disrupted by this incident. Although Yuan Shikai was fine, Cao Kun might have lost his head. When Ma Xingkong and the others left,
Hei Wa and Long Jie carried a small food box. Yuan Shikai gave it to them as an apology.
After going out and getting in the car, several people were sent to Qianmen Street. Wu Jing, Liu Wu, and Shitou were all awake. Seeing that Ma Xingkong and others came back safe and sound, they were relieved. Liu Wu arranged for Xiao Shunzi to report to Cui Xiaozhu that he was safe.
Then he asked about what happened today. Ma Xingkong shook his head, turned to Long Jie and Hei Wa and said, "Bring the things too close to my room and ask my wife to go too!"
When they came back, although Ma Xingkong had briefly talked about what happened in Zhongnanhai, Liu Wu and Shitou were still surprised by the appearance of Rose. Looking at this charming beauty, several grown men were stunned.
I couldn't control myself a little. I was okay with the rose, and smiled slightly: "Thank you for saving me. I will definitely repay you, little girl!"
Ma Xingkong waved his hand: "It goes without saying, but I'm curious, why did the girl want to assassinate Yuan Shikai? Was there someone who instigated it? Also, the girl's dart skills really opened my eyes!"
Rose smiled: "What a joke! Sir's grappling skills are also very extraordinary. If I guessed correctly, it should be Baguazhang's moves, right?"
"You are indeed a master!" Ma Xingkong nodded: "Yes, it is Baguazhang! Girl, can you tell me who you are now?"
"This..." Rose hesitated and thought for a long time before saying: "If sir really wants to know, come to Zuixianju in three days. There are several acquaintances of sir who want to meet him. You will understand then!
"
Zuixianju is not a famous time-honored store, and its location is not good. It is located deep in Wujia Lane, and few people usually come here. Ma Xingkong and the others arrived a little early, and the store door was not open. Long Jie stepped forward.
After banging the door hard several times, it took a long time for someone to open the door sleepily.
"What's the matter with you?" asked a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Is there a girl named Rose in your store?" Long Jie asked.
The boy shook his head and turned around to close the door. Long Jie turned aside and squeezed into the crack of the door: "Since the door is open, let's go in and wait for him!"
The young boy had no choice but to yawn and let a few people in. He picked up the teapot on the counter, took a few tea bowls, and threw them on the table. This Zuixianju is actually a small restaurant. The place is not big, and there are only
There were seven or eight tables. There should be very few people visiting them. The tabletops were covered with dust. The young man took a rag and dusted them, and it suddenly became smoky.
"You guys are free! I have to go and take a nap!" After the boy said that, he turned around and left.
Long Jie muttered: "No wonder business is not good, you can still do business with this attitude!"
At three o'clock in the morning, there were only a few figures moving outside the door. The shop owner and the boy got up and washed their faces, completely ignoring Ma Xingkong and the others. The whole morning, there was not a single customer in the shop. It was almost noon, Ma Xingkong
Sora ordered a few dishes, but no one made a big bowl of noodles and started eating them in the store.
As soon as he took a sip of noodles, two people came in from the door and caught Ma Xingkong's eyes. Ma Xingkong's mouth was wide open and his eyes were a little straight. Li Dazhao and Chen Duxiu actually appeared in this small shop.
At the door. The two people were not surprised at all, they just glanced at each other and walked towards the counter.
"Ouch! The two gentlemen are here again! Come on, please come upstairs!" The shopkeeper ran out very enthusiastically.
When passing by Ma Xingkong's table, Li Dazhao smiled at Ma Xingkong, while Chen Duxiu raised his head as if he hadn't seen him. When the two went upstairs, Long Jie asked in a low voice: "Why are they here? Is it wrong?
It must have something to do with that rose!"
Liu Wu and Hei Wa asked: "Who are they?"
"The gentlemen from Beijing University are all knowledgeable!"
Liu Wu thought for a long time: "You are saying that they ordered Rose to assassinate Yuan Shikai? Isn't Rose a famous prostitute in the capital? How can such a person walk with prostitutes!"
Ma Xingkong said: "This matter is definitely not that simple. Eat quickly and go up and take a look after eating."
There was only one private room upstairs, so Heiwa rushed in without knocking. Besides Li Dazhao and Chen Duxiu, there were three or four people inside, and Rose was among them. Seeing Ma Xingkong come in, Li Dazhao laughed.
He stood up and said, "Xingkong is here too! Come on, please sit down quickly! Runzhi, that chair!"
A young man pulled a chair from the side and placed it at the table. He smiled at Ma Xingkong and said with a Hunan accent: "Please sit down! I have been famous for a long time. I didn't expect to see you here!" A young man named Runzhi said
The man extends his right hand to the horse in the air.
Ma Xingkong looked at Rose: "Did they instruct you to kill Yuan Shikai?"
Rose did not speak. Ma Xingkong's face was gloomy: "Huh! You guys, where is Yuan Shikai's Zhongnanhai? You let a woman go to die, and this is how you set an example for others? I, Ma Xingkong, am not a good person, but I am.
Know how to protect the weak! From today on, I don’t know you, let’s go!”
Ma Xingkong turned around and left. Li Dazhao hurriedly called out: "Xingkong! Xingkong!" Ma Xingkong didn't even look back, but Li Dazhao chased after Ma Xingkong and grabbed Ma Xingkong's hand: "Don't leave yet, listen to what I have to say.
!”
After pulling and pulling, Ma Xingkong was dragged back upstairs by Li Dazhao. After Ma Xingkong sat on a chair, Li Dazhao said: "We all come together to save China. Yuan Shikai is a thief who steals the country, and everyone can get it."
To punish him, we and other people with lofty ideals all regard it as our duty to eradicate traitors from the country. As the saying goes, the scholar's rebellion will not succeed for three years. We are all scholars, but only Miss Rose has superb martial arts and is worthy of this important task! If Xingkong can join us in serving the country,
, the execution of Yuan Shikai, a national traitor, is just around the corner!"
Runzhi smiled at Ma Xingkong: "Friend Ma, you are right. There are great powers from outside our country, and there are despicable people like Yuan Shikai inside. I wonder when China will be able to regain its national prestige, and my people."
When will we be able to live and work in peace and contentment! Come on, my friends, come and join us in contributing to the rise of China!"
Not many people like Ma Xingkong and others had studied in school, so few people understood Runzhi’s impassioned words. They all looked at Runzhi expressionlessly. Li Dazhao smiled and said: "Haha, what Runzhi meant
I want you, Xingkong, to join us in assassinating Yuan Shikai."
Ma Xingkong looked at Runzhi and said with a smile: "Why do you speak so convolutedly in simple words? For Mr. Li's sake, you can let me join, and wait until I finish my business first!"
Li Dazhao was overjoyed and picked up the wine glass: "Okay! With Xing Kong joining us, our chances of winning are much greater! Cheers to our victory!"
