Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 36 Assassins and Counselors

Qin Zhiyong and Yang Yuqian chatted for a long time.It was already late at night when he came out of the Henan Guild Hall.

In the dead of night, walking on the street is very quiet.

From time to time, there were a few dogs barking from a distance, and the sound of a watchman beating the watch.

call out.

A black shadow flashed in front of him.

Qin Zhiyong's physical fitness has improved in all aspects, and his vision, hearing, and smell have all been enhanced.Qin Zhiyong could see clearly that it was a man in night clothes crossing the street.This person is extremely fast and moves quickly.

"The capital city is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Apart from myself, King Duan, and Chen Zhengying, I didn't expect there to be master-level fighters." Qin Zhiyong thought to himself, "Follow me and see. What exactly does he want to do?"

Everyone has curiosity.Qin Zhiyong also has it.A grandmaster is lurking in the middle of the night, and things are definitely not that simple.Qin Zhiyong felt that it was necessary for him to follow up to find out.

Tracking is a science.

Qin Zhiyong didn't study it.But according to the surrounding environment and his own speed, he has no problem tracking this mysterious martial arts master.

Martial arts masters, although they can't fly over eaves and walls, their body's flexibility, jumping ability, and balance are much stronger than ordinary people.The surrounding streets and courtyard walls could not stop the Grandmaster's footsteps at all.

Qin Zhiyong frowned, and said to himself, "Huh? Could it be that this person's goal is the imperial palace?"

The two, one in front and one behind, were heading in the direction of the imperial palace.

The purpose of sneaking into the palace is nothing more than two.Either steal; or assassinate.

Martial arts masters are not as popular as Wen Zhuangyuan, but to be a martial arts champion, you can also get a military officer.There is no need to steal anything.Those who can become martial arts masters can definitely make a fortune as long as they are not content with mediocrity.

Just like Chen Zhengying, if he didn't want to farm in Chenjiagou, even if he didn't become an official and joined the Cao Gang, no matter how bad he was, he could still sit in the position of the leader.Earning money and getting rich is not an easy task.

The closer to the palace, the more guards there are.Almost every lane, every once in a while, there will be a team of soldiers patrolling past.Fortunately, the two of them are agile, their eyes can see all directions, and their ears can listen to all directions.It can also avoid the patrolling soldiers dangerously and dangerously.

However, if you continue to move forward, the probability of being discovered will be higher.Martial arts masters are not gods after all, and they don't have the ability to go to heaven or earth.Qin Zhiyong didn't believe that there were no masters in the whole palace.

As long as there is movement and is discovered by patrol soldiers, even if this group of soldiers can be knocked down, more soldiers will come to surround them.Big insiders will also come one after another.If that time comes, the man in black and Qin Zhiyong's martial arts will be ten times better, and they will be unable to escape.

When Qin Zhiyong passed the corner of the wall, the black shadow suddenly launched a sneak attack on Qin Zhiyong.It was the man in black who discovered Qin Zhiyong and planned to attack Qin Zhiyong at the corner of the wall.

The man in black was wearing night clothes, and his face could not be seen clearly, only a pair of eyes were left outside.His attack was swift and steady, like a tiger preying on his prey, without mercy.Obviously it was to put Qin Zhiyong to death.

Even ordinary martial arts masters would feel enraged on the spot in the face of such a swift and fierce sneak attack.Fortunately, Qin Zhiyong was in a good mood and didn't panic. He punched the man in black as fast as he could.

Bang.

Fist and palm collide.

The two of them were shocked and stepped back at the same time.Every time they took a step back, the floor tiles under their feet were left with footprints half an inch deep.

The man in black took three steps back compared to Qin Zhiyong, and finally stood still.

"What a power!" The man in black said in a hoarse voice.

"What pure palm strength." Qin Zhiyong's eyes were serious.

The man in black's skill is profound, even half stronger than Duan Wang.

When fighting, Qin Zhiyong discovered that the man in black had pure palm strength and hidden needles in the cotton, which obviously had the essence of internal boxing.If it weren't for Qin Zhiyong's strong physical fitness and superb Tai Chi, the head-to-head confrontation just now would definitely have suffered a dark loss.

"who?"

Not far away came the scolding of patrol soldiers.

The two fought just now, and they shot Shen Ning with great force, and the dull sound erupted aroused the vigilance of the patrolling soldiers.

Qin Zhiyong and the man in black climbed up the big tree not far away almost at the same time.Both of them are boxing masters with agility.Qin Zhiyong's movements were gentle, like a civet cat, without making any sound.The man in black was like a spirit marquis, and his movements were sharp, but he also didn't make a sound.

The two went to hide in the big tree, and the branches didn't shake much.It can be seen that the two of them have already achieved considerable attainments in controlling power.

As soon as Qin Zhiyong and the man in black hid, the patrolling soldiers arrived.

"no one."

The entire alleyway was very quiet, without a single figure.

One of the soldiers went under the big tree and stabbed the tree with a spear.

suddenly.

"Meow."

A black cat jumped from a tree.

The soldier smiled and said, "It turned out to be a cat. It's okay, it's okay."

The soldiers took it for granted that if there was a cat in the tree, it would be impossible for someone to hide.Otherwise, the cat would have been frightened away.

Fortunately, the patrolling soldiers did not search carefully and found no footprints on the ground.Otherwise, Qin Zhiyong and the man in black will be in great trouble.

………………

With Qin Zhiyong around, the man in black knew that what he wanted to do tonight would definitely be impossible.

The man in black got off the big tree and ran towards the outer city quickly.

Qin Zhiyong followed closely behind.

Far away from the palace, without soldiers patrolling, the man in black shot back and shot Qin Zhiyong again.

The man in black's boxing skills are too smooth, his footwork is flexible and changeable, he uses his palm instead of a knife, and every attack is Qin Zhiyong's weakness.

Qin Zhiyong used Tai Chi to defend calmly, allowing the man in black to return without success.

After ten strokes.

The man in black looked like a frightened beast, and retreated more than ten meters at once.Qin Zhiyong did not pursue, but looked at him calmly.

"Haha, I never thought that Mr. Qin Zhiyong would be willing to be a running dog of the Qing Dynasty." The man in black's voice was still hoarse, "Mr. Qin, don't forget that you are a Han."

Qin Zhiyong asked, "Do you know Qin?"

The man in black said: "The guest minister of Prince Duan's mansion, the teacher of Yongning Gege, a master of Taijiquan. Mr. Qin is well-known in the martial arts circle in the capital. As a martial arts practitioner, is there any reason why I don't know Mr. Qin's name?"

Qin Zhiyong nodded slightly, and said, "Your Excellency visits the palace at night. If I'm not wrong, you intend to assassinate the emperor."

The man in black said coldly: "So what? If it weren't for your hawk dog, I might have taken off the dog emperor's head right now."

The man in black repeatedly said that Qin Zhiyong was an eagle dog.Qin Zhiyong was not angry at all.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Your Excellency is very courageous. You dare to kill even the emperor. I am not an eagle dog of the imperial court, and I did not serve the government. I shot, not to stop you, but to save you. I want to save many people. Do you really think that the emperor Is it that easy to be assassinated? Also, even if you succeed in the assassination, do you know how serious the consequences will be?"

The consequences of assassinating the emperor would be disastrous.

At that time, many people will die, and most of them will be Han Chinese.After all, the Bannermen are now in power, and Qin Zhiyong does not want another massacre of Han people to happen.

The man in black is going to assassinate the emperor at this moment, it is simply reckless.Violence and assassination cannot solve the fundamental problem.It will only arouse the anger and revenge of the banner people.

The man in black snorted coldly and said, "What consequences could there be? If it wasn't for you, the event would have been accomplished."

Qin Zhiyong said: "Your Excellency is not alone. There should be a huge organization behind you. After assassinating the Manchu emperor, what plan do you have? Rebel and seize power? Qing officials, the number of troops, business economy, how much do you have mastered?" Success? Replacing the Manchu Qing court, can you guarantee the order of the world and make the administrative system operate normally?"

The man in black froze.

Qin Zhiyong didn't think about these issues mentioned by him.The upper echelons of their organization don't even think about it.The man in black didn't understand Qin Zhiyong's words. After all, he was just a warrior, but he didn't have much worldly knowledge.

But he felt that Qin Zhiyong's words were unclear and very reasonable.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "Your Excellency will not tell Qin that after assassinating the emperor, he will ignore it and leave a mess, pat his ass and leave, right? It is very irresponsible of you to do this." How to do it. It will cause chaos in the world and many people will die. Human life is at stake. When doing big things, you must be cautious, and you must be sure that there is nothing wrong with it.”

It was really hit by Qin Zhiyong.

After the man in black was assassinated, he didn't plan to take care of the following things at all.Moreover, the organization behind him also didn't plan to take care of it.

They assassinate for the sake of assassination, and what they want is pleasure and hatred.

The man in black pulled down his mask, revealing his true face, clasped his fists at Qin Zhiyong, and said with a little respect: "Dong Hancheng, Baguazhang, I have met Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin is highly skilled in martial arts, resourceful, and understands the way of a certain country. Dong Hancheng admires it very much. Mr. Qin is willing to join us, we can worship Mr. Qin as a counselor and military advisor, and plan great things together."

It turned out to be the master of Baguazhang.Qin Zhiyong thought to himself, no wonder he felt that his boxing skills were so familiar, and he had a feeling of deja vu.

Qin Zhiyong shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in being your adviser. You'd better think about the consequences when you do things in the future. Assassination is not a joke. Killing people doesn't solve the problem."

Qin Zhiyong is not even willing to be an official now, so how could he join a dark organization?What he wants is to cultivate his mind and character, and improve his state of mind.Let the state of mind reach the level of "fixation" first, and then talk about other things.

After speaking, Qin Zhiyong turned and left.

Dong Hancheng looked at Qin Zhiyong's leaving back and sighed.In order to assassinate the emperor, he left his beloved and came to the capital alone.In the organization, there is no shortage of martial arts masters, and there are three martial artists at the master level.But there is a lack of a strategist like Mr. Qin.It's a pity that Mr. Qin is unwilling to help himself.
