Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 589 Meeting Xu Shichang

At this moment, there is no time, and it can be judged that the officer must be plotting something wrong, seeing the other party pull out a black thing from his waist, but the distance is relatively far away, so what should I do?
In the blink of an eye, before he could think too much, he raised his pistol, pointed it at the man's head, and pulled the trigger fiercely. Due to the long distance and the relatively concealed position of the man, if this shot could not be done Well, it is very likely that other people will be injured by mistake, but it is too late to think about it. There is only a "pop", and the bullet rushes out of the barrel, and flies past with a scream at a distance of about 30 meters. Don't lean on the head of the person in the middle.The bullet entered through his right eye, penetrated the entire skull, and exited from the back of the head.The man didn't even groan. He jerked his head back suddenly, and then fell on his back to the ground.

Everyone at the scene was stunned by this sudden scene, even Xu Shichang changed his color, and the accompanying guards couldn't help but draw out their guns one after another, aiming at his chest, and quickly surrounded them with a slap in the mouth. Shouted in multiple voices: "Put the gun down, put the gun down"

Knowing that the other party mistakenly regarded him as an assassin, he honestly put the gun on the ground and shouted: "I am a guard of the Shanghai Garrison Command, and I am responsible for security tasks. There are assassins in the crowd. kill."

Several people took control, and several others rushed towards the still steaming corpse.

I was beating drums in my heart, Amitabha, I hope there is no mistake, if that person is really Xu Gong's entourage, then my own will be miserable.

I didn't have much effort, I just heard the person over there report to Xu Shichang: "My lord, this man is indeed an assassin, and he still holds a pistol in his hand, please have a look."

Xu Shichang took the pistol and looked at it, only to see that the bullets of the pistol had been pushed into the barrel, and the nose of the machine had been opened. It was really dangerous. If it was too late, his life would be gone. He looked at the assassin, He was sure that it was definitely not his entourage, so he forced himself to calm down and said: "The assassin has been executed, everyone, don't panic, let's go."

Xu Shichang passed by specially, looked up and down a few times, nodded without speaking, and led everyone away.There was only one person standing there alone in the central station of No. [-] University.Not much time, Chen Qimei ran over in a panic, and said to the one who was still in a daze: "What's going on, what's going on, I personally arranged for Mr. Xu to stay and eat at the Whampoa Hotel, and when I heard the news, I rushed to the hotel without stopping. coming."

Still in a daze, my heart sank slowly.Several guards nearby hurriedly told Chen Qimei what happened just now. Chen Qimei stomped her feet anxiously, pointed and said, "Zhongzheng, Zhongzheng, what kind of person is Xu Gong? As for the assassination, the last time it was the emperor, this time it was Mr. Xu. I am afraid that even the mayor and I would have to walk away. I heard that after Mr. Xu left the central station, he only said one sentence: Shanghai is really a dangerous place. What does this mean? It's clearly blaming us for our lack of protection. This time you are finished, and so am I, and you still want to make a fortune in the future, fart!"

Chen Qimei scolded endlessly, turned around and was about to leave, then turned around and said: "Your task has been completed, I have arranged for someone else to be in charge of security for the rest of the itinerary, you should go back to the headquarters and wait for disposal."

"Yes." He replied in a daze.

Everyone left, and after a while, he took a long breath and returned to his duty room at the security headquarters in a daze.My heart was agitated, the scene just now kept flashing in my mind, it's over, it's over, since Commander Chen said so, his future is considered to be over, but if he didn't shoot the assassin in time at that moment, what would happen?The result may only get worse, and I can't even keep the guy who eats.What can I do now, I can only resign myself to fate.

Thinking about it, I just felt that my whole body was heavy like lead, and my eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and I fell asleep on the table.

I don't know how much time passed, but he was awakened by a rapid phone ringing, and he hurriedly picked up the receiver: "Shanghai Garrison Command"

On the other side of the microphone was Chen Qimei's voice, which seemed very urgent: "Zhongzheng, don't leave there, I will send a car to pick you up later."

"Pick me up? Why?"

"Xu Gong called to see you, you must not leave, the car will be here in a while."

Putting down the phone, he looked at the wall clock on the wall. It was exactly 11:40 in the evening. He thought about it. How could Mr. Xu meet me well? What can I do?Could it be that I caused trouble this time, and in order to get rid of her guilt, Chen Qimei planned to send someone to kill me. She was afraid that I would become suspicious, so she first moved Mr. Xu out to stabilize me?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. What if this is the case?Anyway, if the basket is broken, nothing good will happen. It is better to leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible, so as to save your life first.

After making up his mind, he planned to leave the security headquarters quietly. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard a car horn sounded by Didi, and the headlights of the car were shining on him. The two dazzling lights were like the eyes of the god of death. The whole body is wrapped up.

It was late at night, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road. The car was driving like flying, turning left and right, getting dizzy. After driving for about 10 minutes, there was a long brake sound, and the car stopped. As soon as the car door was opened, it never occurred to me that Chen Qimei, the security commander, was waiting outside in person, and said to her with an unusually solemn expression: "Quick, Mr. Xu is waiting for you up there."

Looking up in a daze, I saw four large characters on this luxurious building: Whampoa Hotel.

He followed Chen Qimei into the gate of the Whampoa Hotel. Like a dream, he passed through the gorgeous halls and corridors and arrived at the fifth floor of the hotel. The security here is heavily guarded, and the guards are like wooden sculptures. Standing there, Chen Qimei said a few words to one of the officers, and two soldiers questioned him and him, and then the two of them were led by the officer to the door of Room 1 at the innermost part of the corridor.

Chen Qimei said in a low voice: "After entering, be more vigilant, what should be said and what should not be said, you have to have a sense of proportion, understand?"

Suddenly nodded, and then walked into the door of Room 1.

The decoration inside is very gorgeous, with thick Middle Eastern carpets, crystal chandeliers, and gold-plated wallpapers all declaring the special identity of the owner.There is a very large desk in the front, and a person is sitting behind the desk, writing something under the lamp.The officer walked over first, said a few words softly, the man waved his hand, the officer stood at attention and saluted, and then left the room.

"Come, come and talk." Behind the desk, a steady voice said.

Feeling nervous for a while, he adjusted his military uniform on the spot, let out a deep breath, and walked over.When he got close, he could see clearly that this person was exactly Xu Shichang whom he saw at the station today.

"Sit down." Xu Shichang continued writing without looking up.

He squinted at the sofa next to him, but stood still.

After three to five minutes, Xu Shichang put down his pen, looked up, stood upright on the spot, smiled slightly, and said, "Sit down."

"Humble position and low status, I dare not sit down." Said solemnly.

Xu Shichang nodded, "Now, you are my guest, you should sit down and talk, it will be more natural."

"Yes." Not daring to disobey, she sat on the sofa cautiously, with her upper body straightened, not daring to sit firmly, and just leaning slightly on the edge of the sofa with her side. I feel tired all the time.

Xu Shichang smiled again and asked, "What's your name?"

Immediately stood up, stood at attention and said: "Humble job, courtesy name Zhongzheng, native of Fenghua, Zhejiang, a student of the ninth batch of the Imperial Army University, and later stayed at the school as an instructor, and is currently working as a security guard at the Shanghai Garrison Command."

"Oh? So, you are still a military talent, and being a small guard is a bit inferior."

"I don't think so. I think that soldiers should take obedience as their bounden duty. No matter what they do, they must be conscientious. They always have a heart of worrying about the country, self-restraint and helping others." not come out.

Xu Shichang said with a smile: "Well said! Sit down and talk." He pointed to the sofa again.

Sit down again.

"Before, Chen Qimei and I have talked about it, and I have some understanding of your resume. Although you are a guard, you have an extraordinary resume. You have traveled to the east twice to study abroad, and you are still teaching in the Imperial Continent. This shows that you have rich experience. At present, the empire is in need of such talents." Xu Shichang's seemingly casual words moved his heart, and it seemed that Mr. Xu didn't seem to be embarrassing himself, but he seemed to have the intention of promoting him. Anyway, this is A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that must be seized, must be grasped!
Thinking of this, he stood up again and replied: "I dare not say that I have spiritual insights, but I always pay attention to the facts, and I also have some own understanding."

"Really? That's good. I'm going to test you today. At present, the southern province of the empire is in rebellion. Yuan Shikai's rebel army is in full swing, embezzling Vietnam, Siam, Laos and other provinces, and their troops are targeting Yunnan and Guizhou. How do you feel about this rebellion?" See? It’s just the two of us now, you can speak freely without any scruples.” Xu Shichang watched with burning eyes.
