Chapter 129 Imminent
Chapter 129 Immediately
Chen Lianbo was a little embarrassed. He was selfish, so he did not rush to ask Mo Shicheng to take action. After hesitating for a moment, he quickly explained: "To be honest, this is what happened last month. It was not because Lord Mo deliberately delayed it, but because I planned to take Lord Mo Shicheng away when the revolutionaries came to receive the goods, so that he could arrest as many rebels as possible."
Of course, the real reason is that Chen Lianbo has not successfully taken over the Wharf in Huangpu, so he has been delaying it. Anyway, this matter does not suffer any loss to him. The Revolutionary Party is a group of fools. He gave himself the first arms a few days ago. Now, as long as he gets the wharf, he kills two birds with one stone.
Wu Shaoting interrupted and sneered: "It's so naive. Mr. Chen, don't you know what it means to have long nights and dreams? The revolutionary party forces have infiltrated everywhere in Guangzhou City. Do you dare to guarantee that there are no people in the patrol camp? If the news is leaked, it will be a waste of the opportunity."
Chen Lianbai snorted and said disdainfully: "You don't have to worry. If the revolutionaries really received the news, would they come to pay my first one a few days ago?"
Wu Shaoting said slowly: "I'm not worried about this. I just think that if I don't catch a revolutionary in the action, will this have a deeper relationship with Mr. Chen, you deliberately delaying time?"
Chen Lianbo immediately became angry and cursed: "adirtylie, do you think I am a fool? I will tell the general about this today, which is enough to show that I am incompatible with those revolutionary rebels."
"Okay, where do you think they are now, I will take people to suppress them immediately!" Wu Shaoting said in a very weak tone. From the beginning, his interruptions were all about creating a complex situation so that he could gain more time.
Now he deliberately spoke out, to try to hand over the task of hunting down the revolutionary party to himself, and then he can help the revolutionaries escape. In addition to the reprimand, if he cannot help the revolutionaries, he cannot expose himself. He will inevitably destroy all unfavorable evidence.
"Is that so? I don't believe you when I asked you to encircle the revolutionary party! The rumor is the most serious force hidden in the new army. If you leak the news and shift the blame to me afterwards, would I be so stupid?" Chen Lianbai said coldly, his tone full of hostility towards Wu Shaoting.
Wu Shaoting was about to refute, but Fu Qi interrupted: "It's better not to interfere in this matter in the Western Suburbs. The troops from the Western Suburbs are sent to the city. I'm so full of voices, I'm afraid the rioters will be alert."
Although this sentence seemed very polite, Wu Shaoting still heard Fu Qi's implicit meaning.
Like Chen Lianbai, Fuqi was very worried about the situation within the new army.
Wu Shaoting sighed and had to say, "Okay then."
Fuqi said to Chen Lianbo: "Pu An, Zhenzhi is right. Such major events must not be delayed. Take action today, and I will immediately ask the Governor to inform the firefighting camp and the patrol battalion!"
When Wu Shaoting heard this, he was shocked and acted tonight. He had no time to prepare at all. Is he really going to be finished?
However, Chen Lianbai also felt that he was too hasty and had not yet obtained his dock.
"General, today is the New Year's Eve. Would it be too unlucky to act tonight? What's more, I have already discussed it with Lord Mo Shicheng and will start taking action the evening after tomorrow. There is no need to rush to this moment." Chen Lianbai said immediately.
"General, military operations are a major event. No matter what, it takes some time to formulate a careful plan. The last general also thinks that the action tonight is too hasty." Wu Shaoting said after Chen Lianbai.
Fuqi admitted that he didn't have a deep understanding of military affairs. He pondered for a moment, nodded slightly and said, "Okay. I will negotiate this matter with the Governor tonight. If possible, I will act tomorrow."
Wu Shaoting sighed. Although it was also urgent to postpone the action until tomorrow, it was at least much more tolerant than tonight's action.
Chen Lianbo originally planned to stick to his intentions, but when he saw Fu Qi's serious expression, he had to give up again. He thought secretly that as long as the revolutionary party was successfully arrested, if Mo Shicheng dared to perfunctory him afterwards, he would never let Mo Shicheng have a good life.
He calmed down and asked again tentatively: "Your Excellency General, I will eliminate your troubles in your heart. I wonder if you can change your previous view?"
Fuqi sneered contemptuously and said calmly: "If you know and don't report it, then you are in the same guild with the rioters. As for my daughter, she will never marry someone who wears foreign clothes all day long."
Chen Lianbai was stunned for a moment, and a feeling of being fooled in his heart suddenly surged. He was about to get angry, but suddenly he thought that he had mentioned this matter first at the beginning, and Fuqi did not force him. Suddenly, his angry temper disappeared again, and all of them fermented into depression in his heart, and his face was extremely difficult to see.
Wu Shaoting deliberately smiled and said, "Young Master Chen, you remind me of Zhou Gongjin."
Chen Lianbo's face turned green, and his depression suddenly moved to Wu Shaoting, and he said angrily: "You, you!"
Fu Qi didn't wait for Chen Lianbai to continue speaking, and said seriously: "You two are shut up. You trespassed into the inner courtyard tonight, and I haven't settled the score with you yet."
Wu Shaoting and Chen Lianbai stopped talking.
However, Fuqi did not punish them in the end, but made a harsh verbal warning and repeatedly emphasized that this matter must not be spread. If someone outside knew about this, he would definitely punish him severely.
After coming out of the back room, the guests in the front room almost finished their second cup of tea, but because the host didn't come out, they couldn't say goodbye without saying goodbye. Now seeing Wu Shaoting and Chen Lianbai appear one after another, everyone suddenly became energetic, and everyone was guessing why Fu Qi was looking for them alone!
After Fuqi came out, he chatted with everyone for a while, without revealing what happened just now in the back room.
The guests knew it was too late and it was inconvenient to bother with him, so they stood up and said goodbye.
Fuqi did not try to keep everyone. He just quietly informed Zhang Renjun and Chen Lianbo to take a step late, and then personally sent everyone to the front hall door and handed them out of the housekeeper. He asked Zhang Renjun and Chen Lianbo to stay, naturally to discuss the encirclement and suppression of the revolutionary party.
Wu Shaoting followed the guests out of the General's Mansion and said goodbye to other guests one by one at the entrance of the General's Mansion. Then he joined the colleagues from the Western Suburbs and returned to the Western Suburbs with the guards he had followed earlier. However, everyone drank some wine at the dinner party, and several officers with shallow alcohol were already drunk and confused, so the group could only trot.
Along the way, everyone talked and laughed side by side, talking about the topics they had not finished talking about at the General's Mansion just now.
Only Wu Shaoting looked solemn and looked very teasing.
At this time, Xu Haiying came up to take the horse, smiled at Wu Shaoting, and asked, "Sir Wu, why do you feel like you have become a different person? This was not the case when you were having a drink at the banquet!"
Another official from the Army Yamen laughed and said, "Is that Mr. Chen having any conflicts with Lord Wu?"
Xu Haiying hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Lord Wu, you and Mr. Chen have been away from the seat for so long while drinking, and then they came back together. What happened? Also, what happened to the general just now?"
When the others around heard this question, they all became curious and all their eyes turned to this side.
Wu Shaoting sighed and said with a bad look: "Mr. Xu, forgive me. Some unpleasant things did happen before, but the general told me that he would not say too much. Therefore, it is not convenient for me to reveal anything more."
Now he can only use his expertise in the inner court to hide his inner worries. Of course, the thing that really deserves his worries is that Tongmenghui was exposed. He is thinking about how to control Hu Hanmin, Liao Zhongkai and others, and let them move quickly, and it is best to just hide in Hong Kong for a while.
At this moment, there are so many people around him. Although it is okay for him to leave with excuses, once the encirclement and suppression operation tomorrow fails, everyone will definitely doubt himself first. Because when Chen Lianbo revealed the news of the revolutionary party, only he and Fuqi were present, Fuqi and Chen Lianbo would not leak the secrets, so the direction of doubt would be concentrated on his side.
When Xu Haiying heard Wu Shaoting say this, she saw that the other party's face was indeed very rigorous. She knew that this matter must have been a big deal, so she didn't ask more questions.
