Chapter 126 Walking on the same road is as plain as water
On the official road from Jinmen to the capital, a line of carriages and horses were moving slowly forward.
This chariot and horses are very eye-catching, not only because of the large number of people, but also because there are hundreds of officers and soldiers mixed in here.
Lei Hu, Tan Sitong, Yuan Shikai and Wang Wuyi formed such a nondescript chariot and horse team, which can be regarded as a measure to protect each other.
After all, the guy who had the courage to recruit horse bandits from outside the customs to surround and kill Yuan Shikai was not an ordinary guy. No one knew whether there would be subsequent siege operations?
After Tan Sitong's suggestion, Yuan Shikai and Wang Wu agreed and formed a mixed team.
Lei Hu was all-powerful, and he really didn't worry about being surrounded and killed. As long as the army and musketeers were not dispatched, and he was not blocked in a desperate situation, it would not be difficult for him and the elite militiamen around him to fight their way out.
It is said that they are united to protect each other's safety, mainly relying on the support of Wang Wu's escort team and the elite militia under Lei Hu. Yuan Shikai's soldiers were disabled, and he did not ask for help from the new army at the small station, so naturally he did not need to
I wonder if his soldiers still have any fighting capacity.
Whether it was Tan Sitong, Yuan Shikai, or the Five Great Swordsmen, they were all momentary heroes, and soon they were chatting and laughing when they got together.
Lei Hu acted invisible for a while and did not participate in the chat between the three of them. He just made a few smooth remarks when it came to him.
"Brother Lei, you don't seem to be interested!"
Tan Sitong was a little puzzled, but of course he was more dissatisfied. He thought Lei Hu's performance was too negative.
"What you say is yours, don't pay attention to me!"
Lei Hu waved his hand, not wanting to participate at all, and ignored Tan Sitong's displeasure and doubts.
Yuan Shikai and Wang Wu couldn't figure out Lei Hu's temperament, and they didn't hear the displeasure in Tan Sitong's words. They didn't think anything about it. They just felt that Lei Hu, a hero of the world, didn't talk much and his temper was a bit dull.
It can be seen that Tan Sitong and Wang Wu really hit it off, and it didn't take long for them to get along so well that they almost became brothers with different surnames.
I guess if it wasn't for the fact that Yuan Shikai and Lei Hu were watching from the side, I'd be afraid that he really had the intention to marry Jinlan.
At this time, Yuan Shikai had not yet turned into the treacherous Yuan Gongbao. He had illusions about the future of the Qing Dynasty, or his heart was not cold-blooded, so he could discuss it with Tan Sitong and Wang Wu.
I don’t know if Tan Sitong did it deliberately, but the three of them would comment on the current situation in the Qing Dynasty from time to time. The three of them each had different experiences and perspectives, and they talked about the situation in the Qing Dynasty from different angles, which was quite interesting.
, the three of them communicated more happily.
Tan Sitong brought out his reform theory again. This time he encountered no refutation. Instead, he was fully recognized by Yuan Shikai and Wang Wu. He fully agreed with Tan Sitong's statement that the reform reforms would enrich the country and strengthen the army, and he was almost enthusiastic about joining the reform.
In motion.
Even Yuan Shikai was influenced by Tan Sitong's remarks. He believed that the reform and reform was the best way for the Qing Dynasty to become stronger, and he had more respect and recognition for Tan Sitong.
"How about Brother Lei, Brother Yuan and Brother Wang all agree with the idea of reform. What do you think now?"
The reactions of Yuan Shikai and Wang Wu seemed to make Tan Sitong feel a little overwhelmed. When the carriages and horses were resting, he deliberately smiled at Lei Hu and asked.
"I still have the same opinion. The country is too big for the reformists to control at all. Instead of being devastated by then, it is better to select one or two provinces as pilot projects!"
Lei Hu smiled and spoke, not affected by the comments of others at all.
"Brother Lei, what you said is wrong!"
Before Tan Sitong could speak, Wang Wu could not help but retort: "It is precisely because the current situation is difficult that we need to reform and reform the current bad situation!"
"Brother Wang is paranoid. I didn't say that I don't support the reform. I just hope that a more prudent approach can be adopted. Let's use one or two regions as a pilot to see the situation and cultivate a group of talents for Westernization. Isn't it good?"
Lei Hu glanced at Wang Wu lightly and said with a smile.
"A real man must act with courage, so what's the point of being timid?"
Wang Wu retorted loudly: "Since we want to reform the law, let's just change it all over the country, and don't waste time by doing any pilot!"
This guy's remarks really made Lei Hu dumbfounded.
So if you have different concepts and your personalities are not in sync with each other, it will be difficult to be friends.
It is strange to say that Da Dao Wang Wu, who has always been known for his bold and generous spirit, never calls Lei Hu for some reason. They have hardly communicated with each other for several days, and they are no different from real strangers.
In particular, Lei Hu competed with him for a time and used the Wulang Bagua stick passed down by Bao Zhilin to forcefully knock the sword out of Wang Wu's hand. After the victory, the relationship became even colder.
Wang Wu Neng has such a great reputation, so he is certainly not a person who lives up to his reputation. His strength has reached the middle stage of Dark Strength, which is on the same level as Huo Yuanjia.
In particular, he has the unique skill of using a broadsword. Once he deploys the sword, the wave of energy rolls out and he is fierce and domineering. There is a sinister power in it. If a master of the same level does not have powerful weapon skills, he will not be able to withstand it.
This guy's method is somewhat similar to that of Divine Whip Sha Er. With a big knife in his hand, he can even exert his strength in the late or peak stage of An Jin. Of course, it is still a bit inferior to Sha Er's Divine Whip skill.
Lei Hu fought with him for fifty rounds. The Wu Lang Ba Ba Gu stick was unable to break through the sword's defense. It was not until Wang Wu was too exhausted that he could not sustain it, and then he won the final victory.
Wang Wu showed enough respect and admiration for Lei Hu's powerful martial arts, but his relationship with Lei Hu still had no improvement, and was still as lukewarm.
Lei Hu didn't care, they were just fellow Jianghu people he met on the road. They would naturally part ways after arriving in the capital, so there was no need to care too much.
It is said that Wang Wu was very dissatisfied with Lei Hu's negative words, especially because Lei Hu's words showed signs of being directed at Tan Sitong, which made him even more unhappy, but it was just difficult to get angry.
The so-called "non-speculation" was only half a sentence. Lei Hu felt that he and Wang Wu had nothing in common, so he was not interested in paying attention to this guy's inexplicable anger, so he just kept silent.
On the other hand, Yuan Shikai was thoughtful. Lei Hu's words could not be said to be unreasonable, but they were not as passionate as Tan Sitong. However, upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a mature theory of seeking a country.
Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes!
They are all as straightforward, simple and crude as Wang Wu said, and I don't know how much trouble will happen.
On the other hand, although Lei Hu's method is a bit negative, once a problem occurs, it will not spread to the whole country. It will only cause trouble in the pilot provinces. Such results are naturally within the range that the court can bear. This is because he, as a senior official, The official’s judgment…
