When Wu Xingchen took Chai Qingguo back to the Shanghai helm of the Heaven and Earth Society, no one paid much attention to it. In the past few years, Wu Xingchen has been very unhappy as an "outsider", this time he went to the north, and many people think that Wu Xingchen will probably not come back. Unexpectedly, I saw Wu Xingchen again in just over two months, which made many people unable to mix with Wu Xingchen in the north, and returned to Shanghai again. Many people have a very special pleasure in their hearts.

"Brother Wu, why do these people look like this?" Seeing that there was no one around, Chai Qingguo asked secretly. Chai Qingguo has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and his attitude towards these people in the rivers and lakes is very sensitive. But I always don't understand the style of Chen Ke's people.

"Don't talk nonsense." Wu Xingchen said in a low voice. This is not a BJP meeting, you can say anything. And the walls have ears, so you have to be very careful with everything you say and do here.

and Chen Ke have been together for so long, although they have been drawing blueprints, which belongs to "air-to-air". But that kind of talking atmosphere is something Wu Xingchen has never encountered. Wu Xingchen is a real person, he first joined the People's Party because he can sell drugs to make money, and then he is interested in the program of the People's Party. Even for such a personal reason, in Wu Xingchen's heart, there is neither economic gain, nor political identity, nor the kind of Tiandi Association that feels like an equal member of the organization, which has made Wu Xingchen more and more estranged.

It's just that no matter what you think in your heart, you can't bring it out on your face. After an old man in his fifties came in, Wu Xingchen immediately stood up respectfully and saluted according to the rules of the Heaven and Earth Society.

The old man waved his hand, "Sit down." ”

After sitting down respectfully, Wu Xingchen said: "Uncle Liu, I have a few friends trapped in the prison of the concession, Uncle Liu, you have a wide range of people, I want to ask you to pass on some news to enter." ”

The old man's name is Liu Chengxu, and he is one of the leading figures in the Shanghai side of the Heaven and Earth Society. It's still best to talk on weekdays, if it were the other leaders of the Heaven and Earth Society in Shanghai, Wu Xingchen wouldn't dare to ask them for help at all.

"It's the people who were arrested a few days ago, right?" Liu Chengxu said with a smile. Wu Xingchen raised his eyes and looked at Liu Chengxu, only to see him looking at himself with a smile. Wu Xingchen has also been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, just looking at this smile, he knows that Liu Chengxu is unreliable.

"It's those guys." Now that the other party has been named, Wu Xingchen can't deny it.

"Xingchen, how did I hear that you are also a leader in the Huangpu Publishing House."

"It's more convenient to do business with them and have an identity." Wu Xingchen said calmly.

"That's true, it's not a bad thing to have some status over there." Liu Chengxu nodded, "By the way, Xingchen, I talked to you last time about the appearance and asked you to do the apprenticeship here, what do you think." ”

Hearing this understatement, Wu Xingchen couldn't help but purse his lips. Heaven and earth will have strict rules, especially when it comes to apprenticeship. It is a taboo for the Heaven and Earth Society to deceive teachers and destroy ancestors, and once the apprenticeship is performed, it determines the relationship between the upper and lower levels. Wu Xingchen is a family in the north of the Heaven and Earth Society, and the power of the Heaven and Earth Society in the north is relatively weak, so several great families are the backbone of the Heaven and Earth Society. So strictly speaking, Wu Xingchen has never worshiped any teacher. It is only accepted as a member of the Heaven and Earth Society. And after Wu Xingchen's father died, that default relationship has been "automatically dissolved". Now Wu Xingchen can apprentice.

But this is precisely what Wu Xingchen can't accept, Wu Xingchen was born in a gang family, so he just doesn't like the absolute control of the disciples by the master in the gang. If it's your own dad who gives orders, there's nothing to say. If it was someone else who gave the order, especially the Shanghai Tiandi Society where he lived, Wu Xingchen would not be able to accept it. Since coming to Shanghai, Wu Xingchen has always existed in a transcendent position without a master, although he didn't earn any money, at least he could still have enough freedom, and if he did the apprenticeship, this idea of freedom would be greatly deprived. What's more, Liu Chengxu is saying this now, the purpose is obvious, that is, to sell medicine in the hands of Wu Xingchen now.

Seeing Wu Xingchen's expression, Liu Chengxu knew Wu Xingchen's attitude, and he said with a smile: "Xingchen, you said that the people in the Huangpu Publishing House are arrogant on weekdays, but now after the accident, they remember to let us help." Since you said this, for your sake, I want to help. But they don't kowtow to the mountain, and they don't bow to each other. It's just a matter of making you talk about it. If I do something for you, how can I explain it to the other brothers? And you have to think about what the other brothers have to say about you. Someone has said a lot behind his back now. Say anything. I think you should think about it. ”

Chai Qingguo listened to these conversations and already knew that it would be impossible for Wu Xingchen to achieve his goal this time. Although the brothers on the rivers and lakes say that they are righteous, this is only for their own groups. For other groups, if it's not their own people, it's already good to be able to go under the knife in the back. This time, he saw Wu Xingchen again in the north, and when he learned that Wu Xingchen would meet in Shanghai Tiandi, Chai Qingguo felt that something was not right. However, for the sake of face, he didn't want to say anything more to Wu Xingchen. Before coming this time, he thought that Wu Xingchen also had a certain status in Shanghai, and after hearing this, he understood that Wu Xingchen was just holding the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor to try it.

Thinking about this, Chai Qingguo became worried about Wu Xingchen. Is Brother Wu so desperately ready to follow Chen Ke and those people? When he was in Beijing, Chai Qingguo knew that there was such a people's party, and after being harassed by the Beijing party group, he was full of distrust of the party organization. When he arrived in Shanghai, he found that the people in the party group had only changed from officials to students and businessmen, and there was not a single hero. He didn't understand why Brother Wu would rather stay in this organization, and why didn't he just set up his own portal after learning something?

Chai Qingguo thought while listening to Wu Xingchen and Liu Chengxu talking. Since the positions of the two sides do not have any overlapping interests in the first place, the rest of the matter has been completely set. After some meaningless words, Wu Xingchen got up and said goodbye.

After leaving the Heaven and Earth Society, Chai Qingguo asked: "Brother Wu, look at what you mean, you are determined to follow Chen Ke and them." ”

"Yes." Wu Xingchen replied sullenly.

"Why? I don't think Chen Ke and we are the same path at all. ”

"That's right, it's to take over the world, and you want to be the head of the place at most. Who do you think I should follow? Wu Xingchen replied angrily. After being decisively rejected by the Heaven and Earth Society, Wu Xingchen already knew that his days in the Heaven and Earth Society were basically over. Although he is not too nostalgic, but he has been out of the environment that has existed since he was born, and his heart is still not very comfortable.

"But they are just like that, they always say they want to go to the countryside, but there is no movement at all." Chai Qingguo defended a few words.

"Do you want to go to the countryside to be a rogue?" Wu Xingchen asked rhetorically.

"It's much better to be a rogue than to just be in this city." Chai Qingguo retorted. But this is just to say, after staying in Beijing with Chen Ke for so long, running a factory and participating in party meetings, Chai Qingguo's insight was greatly opened. If there is no such step, in the bustling and crowded city of Shanghai, Chai Qingguo is afraid that he will already be confused.

When Chai Qingguo's words came to his mouth, Wu Xingchen swallowed the words back into his stomach. is all in Beijing, and Chai Qingguo can't see what kind of layout Chen Ke has made. However, the party has a confidentiality regulation, and the detailed discussion at the meeting of the official party members cannot be told to Chai Qingguo. Thinking of this, Wu Xingchen just snorted, "Qingguo, this time we are going to participate in the killing of foreigners, if you don't want to do it, forget it." ”

"Don't, don't. Brother Wu, you are Brother Huajiao. Hearing Wu Xingchen say this, Chai Qingguo hurriedly said. Killing foreign devils has always been Chai Qingguo's wish. When encircling and suppressing the Boxers, Yuan Shikai also borrowed thousands of foreign soldiers. Thinking of the events of that year, the hatred in Chai Qingguo's heart will rise. Too many brothers have died at the hands of foreign devils. Chai Qingguo will not let go of any opportunity to take revenge.

When the two returned to school, they saw that there was already a meeting in the conference room. Several people gathered around the table, with Wang Bin in the middle. He was drawing something on a piece of paper. greeted everyone, and Wu Xingchen also came up. On paper is a map. Wang Bin added and subtracted from it while explaining.

"I've seen the map of the Ministry of Municipal Works, and this is the design of the Patrol House Prison. The men's prison is here. Wang Bin pointed to a black frame on it and said.

"It's going to be deep, you've been in. Is there any difference between it and the specific situation? Chen Ke said with a smile.

Qi Huishen carefully studied the drawings. "There's a guard here, and there's a first here." As he looked, he marked it with a red pencil according to his memory. "The guard's duty room is here." The main points are marked one by one.

"The last time I saw them was here." Shi Juexing pointed to a black frame and said.

Wu Xingchen hadn't seen this kind of drawing, and he couldn't see the way for a while. Just watched everyone discuss without saying a word. Chai Qingguo also can't see the way, but he doesn't have such a good quality as Wu Xingchen. After listening to Yunshan Fog for a while, he couldn't help but mutter, "What's the use of just looking at this picture?" ”

"Of course it works." Chen Ke replied, "Comrade Chai Qingguo, how long does it take for you to rush in from the gate and run to the gate of the prison. ”

"I haven't been, how do I know. So once I have the drawings, I draw a model line of the prison on the playground based on the drawings. Everyone practiced the steps to save people and trained exactly according to these frameworks. After many tests, you know how much time the whole operation will take. ”

"Is that okay?" Chai Qingguo heard of this method for the first time.

Chen Ke didn't answer Chai Qingguo's question, and continued in a dark tone, "In addition, this rescue will kill people." We also have to practice this method of killing. ”

Everyone was frightened by Chen Ke's calm attitude, and they didn't even understand the meaning of these words for a while. When they understood, everyone's eyes widened, and many people, such as Shi Juexing, couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"What do you need to do to kill someone?" Chai Qingguo has killed people, so the impact is far less great. He didn't care about Chen Ke's pretense of being so mysterious.

"How to open the door is a big deal. And killing pigs, killing heads, killing butts, each has its own way of killing. We have to go in quietly now, and we have to be very particular about the methods of killing. I know some of these ways to kill people. But I just know that I haven't been able to kill some people myself. So we have to be well prepared and skillful. Chen Ke's tone was like telling how to make juice. Because of the thought of his lack of experience, his brows couldn't help but furrow slightly. It looks extremely innocent.

Most of the participants were dumbfounded, although everyone also knew that if they rushed in to save people, there would definitely be casualties. But I never expected that Chen Ke's attitude would be like this.

"Is there really no other way?" Qi Huishen asked, and there was a feeling of difficulty in his voice. It seems that Chen Ke's words have deeply shaken this young man who has never even killed a chicken.

"I have already gone to Mr. Yan Fu, and the news he gave me is that the concession must severely sentence those comrades. Mr. Yan Fu has already made efforts, but foreign devils in other places have compromised with the government, but this is the only thing that foreign devils will not give up. They must use this comrade to kill chickens and monkeys. Chen Ke visited Yan Fu with his new wife, Yan Fu met He Ying, and learned that his old friend Old Man He's granddaughter was married to Chen Ke, and Yan Fu also felt good. Chen Ke tentatively asked how he could get a few comrades out of prison. Yan Fu had already made efforts, but the consular corps in Shanghai would never let up on this matter. After the fall of Shanghai, Yuan Shufan also gave up his plan to continue to dignitaries. This matter has actually been decided.

However, there are some things because some probationary party members are there, and Chen Ke is not easy to say. He had already talked to Yan Fu about his plan to save people by arming, and Yan Fu's attitude towards this was only a little worried about the failure of the operation. Two of the four comrades were students at Fudan Public School, so Yan Fu agreed to arrange for Chen Ke to visit the prison in the patrol room.

"The guards in the patrol room are not strict, and if they are sent to the official prison of foreign devils, it will be even more difficult to save people. Let's all hurry up and prepare. Chen Ke said.

Chen Ke originally wanted to send Hua Xiongmao to Anhui, but after visiting Yan Fu, he learned that saving people must be hurried. He left Hua Xiongmao behind. Hua Xiongmao also looked unsightly when he heard Chen Ke talk about this, and when he heard Chen Ke explain this, he also spoke, "In that case, let's hurry up." The so-called long nights and dreams, the sooner the better. ”

In the afternoon, Chen Ke drew the route of the patrol room with lime lines on the large playground according to the drawings and with the help of a few comrades who had just been released from the patrol room. The school has just been repaired, and there are still a lot of bricks. The walls are represented by bricks on both sides of the route. This is followed by a simulated prison robbery by members of the selected rescue team.

None of us had participated in this kind of training, and it was child's play. Chen Ke first measured the distance from the door to the cell, and then asked everyone to run ten times back and forth on the ash track according to this distance. Everyone thinks it's very simple, and it's a matter of life to run. Chen Ke calculated the longest time. Ask everyone to return to the terrain they have drawn, and ask them to complete ten round-trip sprints from the door to the cell and from the cell to the door within this time. No bricks outside the line are allowed to be knocked down in each sprint. Knocking down any piece is an instant restart. It looks simple, but it's not like that at all. Running a straight line is completely different from running a curve. It's even more difficult to control the force around the corner.

Chai Qingguo felt that he was in the best health at the beginning, and he was trying to compete with Chen Ke. As a result, he couldn't run Chen Ke in a straight line, and he couldn't run back and forth in a curve. Chen Ke can complete the round trip in time. Chai Qingguo didn't believe that Chen Ke could do this, so he personally learned to watch and keep time. Then he pinched the watch himself. As a result, he still lost to Chen Ke. He couldn't run 100 meters back and forth, but Chen Ke's time was more than five seconds faster than him. Chai Qingguo's results are not only not as good as Chen Ke, but also slightly slower than Hua Xiongmao. Hua Xiongmao listened to Chen Ke's words very much, and he turned a blind eye to Chai Qingguo's not very kind gaze, and just concentrated on completing Chen Ke's arrangement.

In just two hours, Chen Ke trained everyone a lot. This is what he learned in school physical education class. The first of this type of training must be compression training. Train your muscles to be able to withstand enough intensity. After such a visit, it is inevitable that the muscles will be sore, and after a few days, the soreness will pass, and the body functions will be able to achieve sufficient activity. Can take on sufficient exercise demand. So regardless of whether everyone completed it in time or not, Chen Ke calculated that after everyone had completed twenty curve round-trip runs, he had everyone come to the actual map five times to jump back and forth.

The last man finally jumped back to the finish line, almost falling on the line. Looking at Chen Ke's relaxed and agile movements, everyone thought it was easy at first, but in fact it was not like that at all.

After instructing the canteen to cook more and add more meat these days. Chen Ke returned to the conference room with his tired comrades. He didn't give these people any time to rest at all. This was followed by a lesson on the anatomy of the human body. Since everyone practiced such a lap according to the exercise pattern prescribed by Chen Ke, Chen Ke talked about muscles and related physiological knowledge.

Sure enough, as Chen Ke thought, as soon as the gang woke up the next day, their legs couldn't stand it. The muscles are sore and the tendons are uncomfortable. Seeing this group of people, Chen Ke drove them to the playground for "restorative" training without mercy. In other words, yesterday's training is repeated. Except for the rabbit jump, which went from five trips to one, everything else was exactly the same as yesterday.

In order to prevent these people from being lazy, Chen Ke specially called You Yu and He Ying and asked these two ladies to run back and forth with everyone. Although everyone did have the idea of taking it easy, I saw the participation of the two ladies. Everyone felt that they couldn't hold their face. There is no concept of equality between men and women these days. It is a natural thing for a man to surpass a girl in physical strength. Although the men were weak under their feet one by one because of muscle and tendon weakness, everyone still did their best.

After the exercise, it is time to continue the course. Chen Ke asked everyone if they wanted to find a corpse and dissect the internal organs and blood vessels. This proposal really frightened almost everyone, although it is common for people to die these days, and it is a big deal to cut open the body alone, which is a great disrespect to the deceased. Chen's proposal was denied.

So Chen Ke had no choice but to buy some chickens and rabbits, and after killing them, he told everyone what arteries were and what veins were. What is Nerve. In addition to the knee jump reaction, in winter, Chen Ke also paid hard to find the frog that began to hibernate, and told everyone about the nervous reaction. I saw that the frog, which had no head, was inserted into its spine by a bamboo stick, and then its limbs stretched straight as if it were overpowered. A cold sensation ran up everyone's spine.

"See, that's a neural response. I think comrades have also felt this bioelectricity. Chen Ke said with a smile. This smile made everyone overturn the concept of "scholar" that Chen Ke had formed before. How could Chen Ke have thought of such a means to prove so many things. No one believed that Chen Ke had never killed anyone before. How could a guy who could commit such a cruel act not kill anyone before? He has never killed people or dissected living people, how can Chen Ke know so much about the human body.

Even Chen Ke explained in detail the development of Western dissection and physiology, telling everyone that this was all learned in the previous class. There are still people who firmly believe that Chen Ke has killed people. And the comrades are also full of a great distrust of Western science, which has produced these results. How many corpses would have to be dismantled, and how many people would have to be tested to get this knowledge? It seems that foreign devils are really not a good thing. Some people think of the collection of corpses carried out by foreign devils in Shanghai, and those corpses must have been uncovered, and they were not resolute enough to kill comrades, but when they think of this, they suddenly feel that killing foreign devils is not an unacceptable thing.

After a few days, everyone was back to normal. The waist is gone, and the legs don't hurt anymore. Eat it well, and the body is good. Combat and quick killing courses have also changed from paper to actual combat. Backstabbing, slashing the trachea and blood vessels. There are also many trainings in emergency situations that make everyone bruise. Of course, running has gone from running ten times with your eyes open, to ten times during the day and ten times at night. There is also a training session that makes an emergency stop at each gate.

In the training of this group of comrades gradually becoming "professional killers", other steps are also being carried out in an orderly manner. Chen Ke went to visit the prison.
