The next day, the brothers arrived at Tianjin City to meet up with He Chao, and headed north together to Beijing City. As soon as they arrived in Beijing, they heard the news that Yuan Datou had abolished the imperial system. Although they had been mentally prepared, they suddenly heard such news.
I can't help but feel a sense of loneliness in my heart
The abolition of the imperial system also meant that the vigorous National Defense Army movement had died. Although Yuan Datou was no longer the emperor, he was still the president of the Republic of China. He just changed his title. Thinking of the Deng Long brothers,
My heart cannot bear it
The atmosphere on the streets of old Beijing is very dull. The common people wearing long gowns have long been numb. They are fighting every day. Today the emperor is gone, tomorrow the president is here, and the day after tomorrow there is restoration. This weird phenomenon makes me full of enthusiasm and expectation.
In the new life, the common people who are looking forward to a good life have already given up on their own fantasies.
The people selling candied haws on the street were hawking feebly, and the people selling windmills in the Tang Dynasty all had dull expressions and blank eyes, as if they were dealing with this damn life. Rather than being called a famous historical city in China, Beijing is more like a dead city at this moment.

Li Kangkai had quietly contacted a revolutionary in Beijing more than ten days ago. This person was a good friend of the adjutant of Yuan Shikai's personal bodyguard. This adjutant was a very loyal person, and for the revolutionaries
Very sympathetic
The apartment where Li Kangkai and others stayed was privately provided by the adjutant. There was absolutely no problem with safety. They met with the revolutionary in the apartment.
This man's surname is Li Qiutang. He is an intellectual. He wears a pair of black-framed glasses and has a gentle appearance. What is different is that behind his black frames, there are a pair of weathered eyes, which reveal perseverance and make people respect him.
Don't dare to underestimate
After sitting down, Li Qiutang briefly introduced the current situation in Beijing. It turned out that Yuan Shikai's restoration was not popular among the people. The strong attack of the National Guard Army and the saliva of the people made this political hunter who once turned his hands into clouds and rain, increasingly haggard.
I am currently being nursed at the Rehe Palace. I heard that my health is getting worse day by day. I will have to wait for the adjutant to come back to know the specific situation.
Yuan Shikai's confidant Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui secretly competed with each other and controlled most of the strength of Yuan's Beiyang Army. Yuan Shikai was about to become an empty frame. However, I heard that the Japanese are actively helping Yuan Shikai consolidate his position as president. They not only provide
A large amount of financial aid was provided, which put pressure on Duan and Feng.
Because the political situation in Beijing was under high pressure, Deng Long and others did not dare to go out. At night, a high-end car drove by outside. Li Qiutang rushed out to greet him, and not long after, a tall man with a beard walked in.
This man is extremely tall, a typical northern man, with the erectness of Deng Long and the burliness of Ma Tiexin. His whole body exudes a strong spirit, awe-inspiring temperament, domineering and restrained, and he looks like a good man.
Several people quickly stood up, and the adjutant returned greetings to them one by one. After Li Qiutang introduced him, the adjutant named Xu Hongfei waved his hand, and everyone sat down in the hall. Li Qiutang hurriedly went outside to watch the wind watch.
"I don't have much time to stay, so I'll just focus on the key points." Xu Hongfei leaned on the sofa, took a sip of tea, and cleared his throat.
"The south has sent information. I have learned about your situation, and I will do my best to cooperate with you." Adjutant Xu said a few words and took a few sips of tea.
"Half a month ago, Yuan Shikai's health has been getting worse recently. It is estimated that he will not survive for two months. However, Japan recently sent a mage named Takamoto Soji and a Taoist priest from Maoshan to use an extremely evil method of replenishing yang.
, Yuan Shikai's body is actually recovering day by day, and he seems to be in better spirits than before. Therefore, I suggest you to take action as soon as possible, otherwise this old goblin will be rejuvenated." Adjutant Xu smiled bitterly.

Takamoto Soji and Shura arrived in Beijing. This was expected by several people, but who this Maoshan Taoist priest is is elusive. Generally speaking, those who are proficient in the art of harvesting yin and replenishing yang are mostly evil people.
It seems that there are many talented people around Yuan Datou.
"Adjutant Xu, can you reveal more details about Yuan Shikai?" Li Kangkai frowned and asked.
"That is necessary. Yuan Shikai is currently resting in the Rehe Palace to replenish his yang with magic. Of course, the Rehe Palace is just a cover for Yuan. After all, there are many people who want to kill him. Yuan's real place of cultivation is in the Rehe Palace.
Inside the nine-story pagoda, also known as the nine-star pagoda
Taoist Gu Na said that this nine-star pagoda, where the yin and yang of the heaven and earth are held, absorbs the yang in the day and nourishes the yin at night, is a rare treasure in the world. Yuan Shikai practiced evil arts on the ninth floor of the pagoda, and found many yellow flowers every day...
A good woman provides him with training, but the purpose is extremely evil." Adjutant Xu said this a bit covertly. He must have been forced to participate in the search for the woman, so he was a bit covert.
"Adjutant Xu, have you been to the Nine-Star Pagoda?" Deng Long asked
"No, only the captain of the guard has been there. Every time I go there, my head is covered with black gauze. However, I can be sure that the Nine-Star Pagoda is very old and very old, because every time I go to see off a woman,
"At that time, even though I was blindfolded when I entered the pagoda, I could still smell the smell of moss and mold," Adjutant Xu said.
"Adjutant Xu, can you remember the route?" Li Kangkai asked
"No, because every time I go, I will be put on a roulette wheel first, and I will spin it until I feel sick before boarding the bus, so I can't tell the route at all, but I can be sure that the tower is far away from Rehe.
Deep in the mountains, because every time I come back, I can hear the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, so it’s still impossible to guess the specific situation." Adjutant Xu frowned and said
"Of course I have a way to find the pagoda, but Adjutant Xu, do you know how the nine-story pagoda is guarded?" Deng Long thought for a moment and said.
"I once heard the captain of the guard say that Yuan Shikai is on the top floor, and all the eight floors below are capable people and strangers. If you want to go up to the nine-story pagoda, you must pass the eight guardians on the first eight floors, so you
This mission is very arduous. There is only so much I can say. Everything depends on you. Again, the sooner the better!" After Adjutant Xu finished speaking, he put on his white gloves and addressed everyone.
He signaled, opened the door, walked out, and drove away quickly.
The Deng Long brothers looked at each other. They didn't expect that Yuan Datou was actually practicing evil arts, and there were so many masters around him. For Deng Long, it was not difficult to find the Nine Star Pagoda, but how to deal with the eight guardians was really frustrating.
The most troublesome thing for brothers
This storyline was brewed by Fafa for a long time. It was inspired by "The Grandmaster of Tai Chi" many years ago. The show is about to begin. Please bear with me if there are any excessive associations between problems in history and Fafa. After all,
It is a novel, history is not what we are discussing, a good storyline is the most important thing. Thank you all, I hope you will subscribe more!
