Chapter 297: Leakage
On the official road, a group of cavalry jumped on their horses and raised their whips, marching quickly and rapidly, and the dust of passion covered the sky and the sun.
"What is this wave?" Li Yuanhong, who was hiding in the caravan, asked a little anxiously. It was a torment for him. Sitting on a coolie that has never been done before, and preventing others from discovering it.
"It's the third wave! Boss, don't worry, this caravan has all the formalities, and with our disguise, they can't find it. Wu Tingfang whispered. Now the two of them are dressed as ordinary executioners. Li Yuanhong's face was even more disheveled. Looks like a weathered veteran.
Li Yuanhong's face is not good-looking, he is dressed as a tripper, in order not to attract attention, he can only mix in the hands of the tripper and move forward, which is really a big challenge for a pampered high-level like Li Yuanhong. It's just that this time Li Yuanhong ran away with the mentality of breaking the kettle, and there was no way back at the moment of action, so no matter how hard he worked, he could only go down one way.
"Stand still and be checked!" This cavalry force of about 300 people surrounded Li Yuanhong's caravan.
"It seems that Duan Qirui has realized that President Benda has escaped from Beijing!" Duan Qirui's heart was clouded. He was taking a huge risk in this operation, and if he failed, his fate would be extremely miserable. With Duan Qirui's ruthless wrist, he will definitely not let himself continue to exist, after all, he is definitely a huge hidden danger to him.
"Master Jun, Master Jun, we are a serious caravan, there are customs clearance documents from the government, and there are no private goods mixed in it! There have already been two military masters in front of them. There is not the slightest problem, I hope that the military master will be accommodating. The owner of the caravan ran over and said. At the same time, he took out a dozen pieces of ocean from his waist and handed them to the young officer at the head.
"Don't come to this set. Parking checks! "The officer at the head is young. A heroic face. For the caravan owner, such an officer is both the best and the most difficult to deal with. Because these young officers have a hot-blooded and impulsive personality, they are not deeply involved in the world. I don't know the charm of money. The invincible money offensive often hits a wall with them. The leaders of the first two passing armies were all officers in their forties, and after the boss took out a dozen oceans of filial piety, he only hastily checked them. Although their caravan is not small, except for the boss, there is no high-grade person. And the person the Beiyang soldiers are looking for this time is the president of the Republic of China, how can they be mixed with these dirty and smelly executioners! So they only made a hasty inspection and immediately set off for the southwest. After all, the reward for finding President Lebanon is extremely generous. It is even possible to be valued by the general manager, so as to rise to the top.
On the orders of the young officer, the wolf-like soldiers rushed into the entire caravan and separated everyone from the carriage. Then one by one they were brought to the young officers for examination. After all, not everyone knows about such a humiliating thing as the president running away. The fact is that Beiyang sent so many people that only the leader of each team knew the specific task. Therefore, during the inspection, the Beiyang soldiers could only mention the people in front of them one by one and let the officer at the head identify them.
"My lord, no?" Drive the last executioner back to the line. A sentry officer in the Beiyang Army said.
"Nope! Cheer up the brothers and move on! With that, the young officer took the lead in leaving.
Looking at the roaring Beiyang army, the entire caravan breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's going on today? In the past, there had never been such a thing as a government army, and there were several shares in half a day! If this is the case, I am afraid that the trade route from Beijing to Shanxi will not make much money. The boss said with palpitations. When the young officer had just left, his filial piety was again rejected. But there are not many officers like him in Beiyang. Especially those officers of some age, which one is not a family and a job. Moreover, Beiyang, which developed from the old-fashioned military, also took it for granted that it was a matter of course to accept filial piety. Accepting the filial piety of merchants has become an unspoken rule in Beiyang. And the actions of an upright young officer are unusual in Beiyang.
"I'm afraid something big has happened in Beijing! Look at this trip! I really don't know what big guy is coming out! The Executioner's Boss said.
"Lao Wang, I wanted to ask you just now. Who are those people you're looking for? Nothing is wrong, right? They don't look like executioners! At this time, let's not get into trouble! The boss said worriedly.
"It should be fine! This was introduced by a friend of mine in Beijing! said that they just went to Shanxi Province to pro, they didn't entangle, and they also had the strength to do it, so they made a temporary executioner. Of the few of them, I think the old guy is not in good health, and the others are doing well. Boss Liu, this friend is an old relationship with me. It shouldn't hurt me! The executioner surnamed Wang said indifferently.
"Lao Wang, you still take the time to ask them what their identity is, let's do it in our hearts, I just want to do business peacefully when I'm out of the house, but I don't want to provoke what's wrong, these years are in chaos, business is not easy to do!" Boss Liu shook his head and said.
"Don't worry, Boss Liu, I'll take care of it! Let's hurry. This has been delayed for a long time, and if you miss the accommodation, I'm afraid it will be a bit of trouble. Wang's surname said nonchalantly.
The caravan continued its journey.
Ten kilometers ahead of them.
"That's not right!" The young officer's face changed. Tightened the horse's head.
"Boss, what's wrong?" A middle-aged sentry next to him said. The young officer stopped abruptly and startled him. To tell the truth, he was cursing in his heart just now, this chief who didn't have any hair, cut off their financial route. Since Feng Yong of the Northeast took power at a weak age, all forces have been affected by it, and the proportion of young officers in the army has increased a lot. And the young officer in front of him was a high-achieving student who was sent abroad for further study in Beiyang's early years, and served as the battalion commander of Beiyang after returning to China. To a young battalion commander like him, there have been a lot of more than half a year in Beiyang. This phenomenon has also caused dissatisfaction among many people in Beiyang.
Beiyang is not the Northeast, if it was a year ago, it would be good if such a high-achieving military student who returned from studying abroad could get a captain to do it. In the years since the establishment of Beiyang, a set of fixed methods for selecting and promoting officers has already been formed from top to bottom. It is difficult for outsiders to be valued in Beiyang, and it is difficult for these young soldiers to attain the position of high-ranking officers. After all, in the Beiyang system, the will of the individual cannot be compared with the will of the entire Beiyang as a whole.
"The inspection just now is wrong!" The young officer said with a solemn expression.
"Isn't that right? What's wrong? It was just an ordinary caravan, and the boss was quite famous, and I had heard of him in the capital. No problem. The rest are stinky coolies who eat mixed rice. Something is wrong! The sentinel said.
The young officer gave him a cold look and said, "Turn around, let's go again!" The young officer didn't say anything, turned his horse's head, and ran back quickly.
"Dog's day ignorance of lifting! Lao Tzu calls you a head because he looks up to you, and you really think of yourself as a person! The sentry looked at the young officer who was far away and scolded fiercely.
"Okay, old horse! It's unlucky for us to have such a chief who doesn't accept filial piety, and it's time for this matter. Let's unite with the brethren to give him a good shot. This year, these little dolls have all made themselves Young Marshal Feng! Another sentinel said.
"Grandma's! I just can't get used to his bird-like appearance, and I think I'm going to be awesome if I drank foreign ink abroad! My brother-in-law told me! It won't be long before they have such a foreign show. I'd like to see if he's still so. The sentinel surnamed Ma said. Now the detachment ostensibly obeyed the young officers, but in reality the brothers in the battalion listened to the sentry officers surnamed Ma. After all, the brother-in-law of the sentinel surnamed Ma is a character in Beiyang. He barely had a deep relationship, and the soldiers followed him, not worrying about eating and drinking.
"That's it! Keep up! Wait until Division Commander Liu, who likes to use foreign talents, is transferred away! The good days of these baby officers are coming to an end! When the time comes, the whole army will not be up to us! Now let him toss at this time! Grandma's, it's just a pity that those who sent it to the door are honored! ”
"Let's go!" The sentry officer surnamed Ma said gloomily, and chased the young officer away.
When Boss Wang looked at the Beiyang Army that rushed over, his face changed. I secretly said in my heart whether I was unfavorable for the past few years. How are there always officers who come to them for trouble.
"Master Jun, Master Jun, this is another ......" Boss Wang said with a face.
"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for your executioner!" Li Yuanhong's face in the crowd changed.
"Executioner? Master Jun, they are all coolies, I don't know what offended Master Jun? ”
"What, the military master still needs to report to you! Call out all the executioners, and let's take a good look at them! The sentinel surnamed Ma said with a blank face.
"Yes, yes, yes! Boss Wang, let everyone come over and show the military master! Seeing the appearance of the Beiyang soldiers not giving up, Boss Liu felt a great headache. There is a way to show only when you meet soldiers, and it is unreasonable. Now Boss Wang feels this way.
"Stretch out your hands!" The young officer jumped down from his horse and said to all the executioners. He remembered feeling that the hands of the executioners did not look like they were doing coolies. It's just that the hand is so dirty that he has neglected it.
Many of the executioners looked at each other.
"Why, you didn't hear what our leader said?" The military sentry officer surnamed Ma sneered. Then he took out the box cannon on his waist.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and all the runners squatted on the ground in fear, and this sudden change revealed several people in the hands of the runners.
"Not good! It's a leak! Wu Tingfang's face changed wildly. He and several people immediately surrounded Li Yuanhong in the center.
