Although the more than 200 silver dollars in the backpack were heavy, Lu Chuanguang didn't understand why the two people who had been talking about it some time ago suddenly refused his invitation until he came out of Zong Wu.

"What the hell is going on..."

With puzzlement, Lu Chuanguang returned to the branch of the Alliance in Wuhu.

Seriously speaking, this branch was actually established not long ago, in order to raise funds, and there were only Lu Chuanguang and a few other people in the entire branch.

Now Lu Chuanguang is planning to go back to the branch first to discuss it with the others, and by the way, thinking about what Zongwu is for, they suddenly regretted it.

On the other side, after Lu Chuanguang left, Zong Wu and Duan Min were also discussing another thing in the courtyard.

"We'll go to the boss and remind the boss in a moment?"

If it was said before, it would have been forgotten, but now that the decision has been made, they naturally have to think more about Yan Shao.

Some time ago, Lu Chuanguang had told them a lot of things, for example, they had contacted many people in the company. In particular, some grassroots people, and even a few sporadic people, have joined the League.

If Yan Shao is not informed of this kind of thing, it will be easy to suffer a big loss in the future.

"It's okay..."Lowering his head and thinking about it, Zong Wu nodded. So let's go now? ”

"Good..."

After locking the door of the courtyard, while it was dark, the two men called a carriage and rushed to the manor outside the city.

In the room, Yan Shao and Caterina were playing chess, and what made Yan Shao vomit blood was that Caterina had only learned chess for a long time, and she was already even better than herself. And it's different from Elaline. When playing chess, Eleanor at least releases water, and secretly.

If she plays chess with Carter, instead of letting go of water, she will beat the killer while playing chess. In the blink of an eye, there were not many Yan Shao's chess pieces on the chessboard.

"Hmph..."

Seeing that there was only one horse left on the chessboard, two soldiers and one phase, Caterina sneered contemptuously.

On the other side of the seat, Yan Shao was anxiously restless, thinking about how to turn the situation around. It's just that at this time, not only are there two carts and two guns still in Katarina's hands, but even there is one horse left. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem very likely to win...

Just when Yan Shao was about to admit defeat, a maid suddenly walked over and said.

"Master, Mr. Zong and Mr. Duan of the company have something to see you..."

Between words. The maid was also relieved.

When she first came to deliver the message, she was afraid of seeing any scenes that were inappropriate for children, and she knew that this kind of thing had not happened in the past.

For Yan Shao, this sentence was really a timely rain, and after hearing it, he hurriedly threw the chess pieces in his hand aside and said to the maid just now. "You let them wait in the living room first. I'll be there later—" said Caterina with some smugness. "There's business. I'll go out first..."And then I walked out without looking back, wouldn't it be a return to the abuse if I continued to stay like this...

After Yan Shao and the maid walked out of the game together, Caterina was a little angry and threw the chess pieces on the chessboard when she looked at the chess game that was about to end.

Just two steps away, she was sure to get the car...

"Really, what the hell is going on..."

Thinking so, Caterina got up and followed.

————————————————————

Not long after leaving the room, Yan Shao came to the living room and saw Duan Min and Zong Wu sitting in their seats.

Originally, the two of them were still drinking tea there, and they saw Yan Shao coming. The two quickly got up from their seats.

"Boss..."

"Sit down, I heard you have something to ask me for?"

"That's right—" they said, glancing at each other. Both were a little hesitant.

Although they took the initiative to inform Yan Shao, after all, they had been in contact with the people of the Alliance, so it was not clear what Yan Shao would think of this matter. It's just that after a little hesitation, the two of them decided to be open and honest with Yan Shao.

"That's right, about half a month ago, someone from the Alliance came to us..."

"Alliance..."Yan Shao, who was still very leisurely, heard this sentence, and his face changed.

"It's the Alliance." Nodding his head, indicating that this was indeed the case, Zong Wu continued. "More than half a month ago, a person named Lu Chuanguang suddenly came to us, and claimed to be a member of the Alliance, hoping to invite us to join the Alliance..."

"Then how did you decide..."Pursing his lips, seeing that Caterina also came over, after motioning for her to sit next to him, Yan Shao continued to ask.

As the core of the company's management, Duan Min and Zong Wu naturally recognized the cold and glamorous boss lady in front of them. It's just that they also know very well that Yan Shao is very good at talking in other places, but they are very cautious in this regard, so they just continue without squinting after seeing Caterina coming.

"When Lu Chuanguang came to us just now, we refused, but from him we know that they seem to have contact with many people in the company, and some of them have joined the Alliance..."

"Joined..."Hearing Duan Min say this, Yan Shao frowned. Are there any of those people I gathered last time? ”

"It seems that no, at least when Lu Chuanguang told us, he just said that some grassroots people have already joined in, and we are the only two high-level people they have contacted so far, and they have the intention of using us as a bridgehead..."

Although Lu Chuanguang felt that he was hiding it very secretly, how could he not know what he meant. It's just because they're dissatisfied with the Qing government, and they also have a lot of good feelings for the League, so they didn't say anything, after all, if they joined the League, they would be comrades with Lu Chuanguang, but now...

"So..."

After talking with Zong Wu and Duan Min, Yan Shao nodded and sent them away.

It's just that after returning to the room, Yan Shao's face was a little ugly.

He only cared about guarding against the Qing government, so as not to be discovered by the Qing government before Xinhai. But he didn't expect the people from the Alliance to come to the door. Moreover, compared with the Qing government, the existence of the League is more troublesome.

The reason is simple: almost all of the company's backbones are young people. And almost all of them have no good feelings for the Qing government. In addition, Yan Shao treats them well, and the possibility that they will betray Yan Shao for the sake of high-ranking officials or something is quite low.

On the contrary, the Confederacy...

Even if Yan Shao has decided to oppose the Qing Dynasty, this kind of thing can't be said to others in a big way after all. In this way, it is equivalent to giving the alliance a chance, a chance to break in...

"I was thinking of sending someone into the Qing army, but I didn't expect to be beaten in first..."

What Yan Shao is most worried about now is whether there are also people who have joined the alliance among the people he revealed his thoughts at the beginning, if that is really the case, things will be troublesome.

Don't mention anything else. At least at this stage, this is tantamount to a handle.

"Things are getting a little rough now..."

"What's the trouble?" said Caterina nonchalantly after taking an orange from the table.

Hearing her say this, Yan Shao was slightly stunned.

"Do you have a solution?"

"The solution? It's simple. Directly send someone to the official mansion, and say that they found that there are revolutionaries operating in Wuhu, and then ask the official government to come forward and take a spoonful of stew," Katerina continued, after peeling the oranges and throwing them all directly into her mouth. "After that, it is necessary to find out who in the company has contact with the people of the Alliance. Find out one and dismiss one. With this lesson, there will be no problems..."

Hearing Carter say this, Yan Shao, who originally thought she could have some good way, smiled bitterly.

In any case, he and the League belonged to the same front, at least before the Qing government was overthrown, and although he was very unaccustomed to the mixed dragons and snakes of the League as a later generation, he always had some complicated feelings about the first revolutionary organization of the League. Of course, if it's just like this, forget it, if it is Yan Shao before the shipwreck, he may still hesitate because of these. But now that he has chosen this path, he will never do so.

What really made him hesitate was that it was indeed very simple to do so, but it was tantamount to offending the League and other revolutionary groups. Others may not know the truth, but he understands it very well. After the Xinhai period, almost the entire south was within the power of the revolutionary party, and if he really did this, he would probably find it difficult to gain a firm foothold in Anhui in the future.

So after frowning, he also had only the Tao. "Is there any other way..."

Seeing that Yan Shao did not agree with his method, Caterina frowned slightly. "In that case, I'll leave the matter to me..."

"Over to you?" Yan Shao was stunned. "What are you going to do..."

"It's very simple, since you don't approve of this kind of means, then use some gentle means..."Caterina seemed a little happy when she said this, as a person of this era, and a Spaniard, she had no feelings for the League. first sent someone to keep an eye on the person named Lu Chuanguang, and then to see who was with him, and who else usually had contact with him, and when he was almost touched, he would find a way to dismiss those who had been in contact with Lu Chuanguang and them, or transfer them to other provinces, so as not to cause bad things to them in the future, and at the same time, it was best not to do anything directly to the person named Lu Chuanguang, after all, even if he killed the organization called the Alliance, he could send some more people, and this would startle the snake, So it's best to buy him and his men by some means, so that you don't have to worry about the alliance in the future..."

In fact, another way is to be open and honest with the League, telling them that they are also a revolutionary group and asking them not to send people to dig into the corners, but if they do so, it is easy to expose their identities...

Unlike the main strength of the Alliance, which is in Japan and other places, Yan Shao's foundation is in Wuhu, and even if the uprising is exposed, he can at least return to Japan or Taiwan, but Yan Shao, if his identity is revealed, he can only abandon his foundation in Anhui and go elsewhere.

Although there may not be anyone in the alliance who betrays Yan Shao, Yan Shao will never do such a thing as pinning his own safety on others. (To be continued......)
