In the next few days, Deng Long and others have been studying how to assassinate Yuan Shikai. During this period, except for Ma Tiexin who went to the street to get a new poisonous crossbow, they almost never left the apartment. Adjutant Xu's apartment was very full of guns and bullets.
Everyone is ready, gathered in the apartment and prepared to go to Rehe
The news brought by Adjutant Xu is undoubtedly very important. What is known now is that Yuan Shikai practices evil arts on the ninth floor of the Nine-Star Pagoda. The eight floors below are full of peerless masters, including Shura Yamamoto.
When they thought of Yamamoto, everyone's faces suddenly turned pale. Deng Long's death was a huge blow to several people. Although Deng Long survived by luck, the brothers were very worried when they thought of facing the terrifying Shura.
Depressed, this assassination is really a narrow escape from death.
Seeing the pale faces of Li Kangkai and others, Deng Long smiled and said: "Why are the brothers so frightened? No! How about you guys rest here, and I go to the Seven Stars Treasure Tower alone?"
"Your grandma, who is afraid of the eight guards? Even the eight thousand guards, I don't take it seriously!" Ma Tiexin clapped his thigh and stood up, saying angrily.
Li Kangkai and He Chao also stood up, patting their chests to express that they had no pressure on this assassination mission. Only Wang Daquan sat on the sofa, stammering and not knowing what to say.
Looking at the brothers, Deng Long knew that if the brothers said they were not afraid, they were probably lying. However, assassination was a matter of narrow escape. The momentum and confidence must not be lost. As long as the confidence is leaked, it may affect the entire overall situation.
"Okay, you guys are indeed good guys, Daquan, just stay here, you don't know Kungfu and you can't shoot. If you follow, I'm afraid we won't be able to take care of you then." Ma Tiexin looked at the person sitting on the sofa, feeling full.
Wang Daquan said with a guilty look on his face
"You go, I won't hold you back. I wish you success in getting rid of the thieves!" Wang Daquan lowered his head and said gloomily.
"Daquan, you are our logistics manager, our comrade-in-arms, and our brother. Why are you missing from the action? Tomorrow, Daquan, you and brother Qiutang will go buy food and drinks and wait for you to celebrate our success when you come back." Deng Long
He came over and patted Wang Daquan on the shoulder and said
A strange excitement flashed in Wang Daquan's eyes. He could hear Deng Long admitting that he was their comrade. Brother, Wang Daquan was greatly encouraged. He stood up from the sofa and said firmly: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely complete what I have said."
mission"
Everyone in the room burst out laughing, and Wang Daquan also laughed. On the eve of the battle, everyone felt a lot more relaxed after laughing heartily.
"Okay, everyone, bring your things and set off!" Deng Long clapped his hands and said to Ma Tiexin and the others.
Li Qiutang walked in and said with a smile: "Xiaolong, your cars have been arranged and the gas is full. I believe there will be no problem driving to Rehe. Let's set off without further ado!"
Deng Long and others nodded, glanced at Wang Daquan, opened the door and strode out.
Chengde Summer Resort was once the summer palace of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty in China. It is about 200 kilometers away from Beijing. In fact, Yuan Shikai was hiding in the Rehe Palace in late autumn. His behavior itself is very suspicious.
The car is an overweight car bought from a foreigner with a lot of money. The body is stable, resistant and wear-resistant.
Li Kangkai patted the Big Mac with satisfaction. He was very satisfied, took the key, opened the door and jumped in happily. The car made a dull rumble, which was very heavy.
As soon as the car lights are turned on, the bright car lights pierce the darkness of the night sky. It is helpless to choose to go to Rehe at night. From Beijing to Chengde Rehe Palace, there are many people and smoke during the day, and few people dare not be careless, so they can only choose to go to Rehe at night.
Rushed to Rehe overnight
Saying goodbye to Li Qiutang and Wang Daquan, Li Kangkai drove straight to Rehe. When they arrived at a town about 20 kilometers away from Rehe, everyone chose an inn to stay and rested for the night. On the next day, they walked into Chengde
When we arrived in Chengde, there were indeed patrolling soldiers and checkpoints everywhere. It seemed that Yuan Shikai was very vigilant. Even with the eight guardians, he was still so cautious.
The palace area was under martial law, and most people were pushed away by the fierce soldiers before they could get close. From an outsider's perspective, Yuan Shikai must be at the palace, otherwise there would not be such a strict guard. In fact, this is just a smoke bomb.
In an inn, Deng Long and the others looked solemn and smoked cigarettes. When they arrived at Rehe, they felt uneasy. The atmosphere here was too dull, and there was a sense of oppression that "the storm is coming and the wind is filling the building."
"Xiaolong, now it's up to you, how do you find the Jiuxingbao Tower where Yuan Datou is?" Ma Tiexin took a puff of cigarette and asked.
"Don't worry, the Nine-Star Pagoda is located in the land of yin and yang. It will be detected by the compass at night. Don't be impatient, brothers. This mission is inherently difficult. You guys must stay calm," Deng Long said
"Xiaolong, it's not that I'm impatient. If we brothers don't take action as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with Yuan Datou's evil skills when he masters them," Ma Tiexin said
"Well, Xiaolong, we'd better find the Nine Star Treasure Tower where Yuan Datou is in the next three days, otherwise it will be really troublesome to drag it down." Li Kangkai agreed, and He Chao also nodded.
"Well, I understand. Let's rest during the day and move at night. If it doesn't work, I'll contact Adjutant Xu and find a way." Deng Long nodded.
The four of them stayed in the hotel all day long. At midnight, the moonlight came in through the window and cast a silvery glow on the room. Deng Long got up and called out to Li Kangkai and the other three, and the four of them immediately came out fully armed.
Outside the window of the hotel, patrolling soldiers passed by on the street from time to time. Deng Long and the four had to carefully walk through remote places.
"Xiaolong, is this thing of yours useful?" He Chao pointed to the compass in Deng Long's hand and asked in a low voice.
The compass needle was spinning wildly and actually pointed to the sun. Deng Long frowned and said, "It must be because this city is so popular. In addition, several prominent emperors of the Qing Dynasty once lived in palaces. It's true that
The yang aura still exists, so it is difficult to reveal the yin place. Let's go! Let's go to the east of Zhuang, which is adjacent to the mountainous area. Maybe we can find clues there."
The three of them, Li Kangkai, nodded, and the four of them ran quickly in the dark night. The entire Rehe Palace Summer Resort was extremely large, and it took the four of them almost half an hour to reach Zhuangdong.
"His grandma's is worthy of being the place where the emperor lives. This village is too big," He Chao took a breath and cursed.
"Okay, stop complaining, brother, hurry up and go into the mountains." Li Kangkai took a breath, patted He Chao and said
Deng Long entered the mountain holding the compass. The pointer of the compass kept turning like a windmill. Deng Long was a little confused and became anxious. There were beads of sweat as big as soybeans on his forehead.
Ma Tiexin and the others clearly felt something strange about Deng Long. Under the moonlight, Deng Long looked pale, nervous, and sweating profusely, as if he was ill.
"Xiaolong, what's the matter with you?" Ma Tiexin asked quickly
Deng Long waved his hand, but his face became even more confused, saying: "That's not right, that's not right, what's going on in this place, it's not right, this whole city is wrong."
"Xiaolong, what happened?" Li Kangkai asked
"Look, what's going on here? It's so weird!" Deng Long showed the compass to the three of them. The three of them were dumbfounded. Is this still a compass? The pointer was spinning like a windmill. The three of them were surprised.
, with a click, the compass actually shattered in Deng Long’s hands.
Deng Long's face turned pale and he shook his head in disbelief. This was not a normal celestial phenomenon at all. Logically speaking, at night, the compass would point to yin anyway, but it was obvious that the compass could not tell the direction in this palace area.
