Chapter 792: First Arrival at the Golden Tower
Public opinion about Geng Liangchen opening a martial arts school continued to ferment under Su Yi's manipulation. On the other side, Erqiji took action again, destroying two Zhepeng secret spy agencies in the Central Plains Province and killing two colonel-level spy officers.
The Zhepeng people were already extremely vigilant against Erqiji, but they were vigilant against military officers and high-ranking embassy officials, but they neglected the security of the intelligence organization's brains.
You can only catch a thief in a thousand miles, but how can you prevent a thief in a thousand days?
As long as they can't catch Erkiji's tail in one day, they will inevitably face an unpreventable situation.
Just when the people of Zhepeng were furious and tried their best to search for clues about the second kick, Jinling changed dramatically again!
Wang Zhaoming was assassinated!
Wang Yaqiao teamed up with Su Yi's team to launch the assassination of Wang Zhaoming, and even Su Yi participated remotely. This lineup is unprecedented!
But it still failed.
This was the most tragic defeat for the second kick team since their debut. Chen Chutai was arrested on the spot, Sun Fengming was shot several times and was seriously injured. Even Luo Yu was affected by shrapnel and broke two fingers.
It was even more tragic on the Wangya Bridge side. He had more than twenty people under his command, and almost all of them were destroyed!
He himself managed to escape under the cover of Walker and others.
There are two reasons why this assassination failed. First, the traitor betrayed him! Second, Wang Yaqiao was stubborn and felt that Su Yi's plan was too cautious and had a low success rate, so he changed Su Yi's plan without authorization and asked Hua Ke to cooperate.
Due to his previous friendship with Wang Yaqiao, Walker agreed to accept Wang Yaqiao's changes. However, the traitors caught Wang Yaqiao's shortcomings in eager for quick success and almost killed them all.
After the incident, Su Yi immediately contacted Liu Haiqing to organize the rescue, and put them on the plane to Jinmen before martial law was imposed in the whole city of Jinling.
That night, Su Yi met this group of failed disabled patients in a secret house.
Plop!
The first time Wang Yaqiao saw Su Yi, he knelt down and screamed in a tearful tone: "Good morning, I have a debt to you!"
When Hua Kezhi and others saw Su Yi, they all bowed their heads in shame, their faces full of sadness.
"Brother Ninth, get up and talk." Su Yi helped Wang Yaqiao up.
"At this point, it is meaningless to talk about right and wrong." Su Yi said calmly, "The dead brothers will not wake up again, and the lost opportunities will not come back. We are not the government, not a company, nor will we Instead of regretting it, think about what to do next.”
"Master Geng, Chu Tai has been arrested, can Hai Qing..." Yi Xiantian asked.
In the middle of speaking, Su Yi stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Chu Tai has already died." Su Yi said solemnly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Su Yi with shock written on their faces.
"How is it possible? How is it possible?" Walker's voice was trembling, "Chu Tai was arrested, the enemy should not be in a hurry to kill him..."
"I was the one who sent Chutai away." Su Yi said expressionlessly, "On your way to Jinmen, Xu Enzeng from the Secret Service Headquarters (the predecessor of Zhongtong) tortured Chutai." In the hands of Zhongtong, you know what will happen. Even if Chu Taizhao succeeds, he will be a mess and there will be no way to survive. "
"So I asked Hai Qing to take action and give Chu Tai a happy life. For this reason, I also sacrificed one of Hai Qing's agents who was lurking next to Xu Enzeng."
"How could this happen? How could this happen..." Walker murmured in a trembling voice, tears falling down.
Bang!
Su Yi kicked him away and couldn't hold back his anger anymore, pointing at his nose and shouting: "How could this happen? I handed over my brothers to you, and I told you to bring back not one of them less. How did you promise me in the first place? Are you talking nonsense?"
"Ahem..." Hua Kezhi rolled over with difficulty, clutching his chest and crying bitterly: "It's my fault, it's all my fault..."
"Of course it's all your fault!" Su Yi said coldly, "As the leader of a team, you have no opinion, change orders every day, even deceive others, and act emotionally! Hua Kezhi, I really misjudged you!"
"I'm sorry, Master Geng, I'm sorry..." Hua Kezhi burst into tears, looking very regretful.
"Liangchen, don't blame Kezhi, it's my fault, it's me..." Wang Yaqiao said guiltily in a low voice.
But he was only halfway interrupted when Su Yi interrupted him.
"Brother Ninth, of course you are wrong. The assassination team is not a death squad. The life of every brother is very precious. If you use them as death soldiers, how can you not make a big mistake?" Su Yi sighed, "I have always been I respect you Brother Ninth very much. If you tell me in advance that you are not satisfied with my plan and you want to change it, even if I don't accept it in my heart, I will respect you and agree with you. I just have to take more precautions and the result will be the same. It’s as tragic as it is now…”
"But you didn't tell me anything, and you specifically told Kezhi not to tell me. Why? Am I not worthy of your trust?" Su Yi asked sadly.
"Liangchen, I just don't want to trouble you..." Wang Yaqiao said guiltily, "You are far away in Jinmen and you have your own things to worry about. We have so many great people in Jinling who have to keep sending telegrams to bother you for advice. I feel bad. ”
"We are working hard, Brother Jiu, why do we have to consider so many irrelevant things?" Su Yi sighed, "Brother Jiu, I have arranged the boat. You can go to Fujian at any time. If you have nothing to do, you can also Stay in Jinmen, it's safe here, you can rest assured to recover here. I'll go see Feng Ming and Xiao Luo, you can rest."
After that, Su Yi turned around and walked out.
"I'll take you there." Yixiantian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
The two people in front walked out the door, and Hua Kezhi and Wang Yaqiao, who were left in the room, remained silent for a long time.
After a long time, Wang Yaqiao said quietly: "Kezhi, Liangchen will never trust me again."
"You are also trying to complete the mission, Brother Jiu." Hua Kezhi said in a low voice, "Mr. Geng...he will not resent you for this."
"I know, I know." Wang Yaqiao sighed again, "He is the smartest man in the world. How could he not guess that I changed the plan because I have a selfish desire to fight for power? I am just dissatisfied with his remote control from Tianjin. I think that my voice is enough for this matter... and I think he is too cautious and afraid of sacrifice. Alas, the facts prove that Liangchen is right. He is saving face for me and did not expose me directly."
"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain." Hua Kezhi said, "You and Mr. Geng are both great heroes of the world. Maybe you should not be too close."
"Yeah..." Wang Yaqiao was stunned.
"Kezhi, what will you do in the future?" he asked suddenly.
"Me?" Hua Kezhi was stunned, and finally his face was gloomy, "Whatever Mr. Geng says, I will do."
Wang Yaqiao nodded silently.
On the other side, Yixiantian and Su Yi stood silently in the yard.
"Master Geng, I am also wrong in this matter." Yixiantian said, "I questioned Brother Jiu before the operation. I should have been more resolute at that time."
Su Yi waved his hand and shook his head and said, "You are not wrong. It's not you who is wrong. It's Brother Jiu, Kezhi, and me."
He had long discovered that Hua Kezhi had a soft character, and guessed that as an old subordinate of Wang Yaqiao, he might give up the principle of being the leader of the Ertijiao Assassination Group in this operation, fully cooperate with Wang Yaqiao, and obey the other party's command.
But when he thought of this, he struggled for a while, and finally gave up the plan to let Yixiantian be the temporary leader of this joint operation.
First, it was a bit hurtful to do so, and second, this operation was originally led by Wang Yaqiao. Su Yi felt that as long as he kept abreast of the trend at any time, there should be no problem.
Now thinking about it, Su Yi was very regretful. Why did he hold such a fluke at that time?
"I thought you would come out after this operation and go with me to participate in the International Fighting Competition." Su Yi said to Yixiantian, "but I didn't expect such a thing to happen."
"I understand." Yixiantian nodded, "After such a thing happened, I couldn't abandon my brothers."
"Kezhi made a mistake, he is not suitable to be the captain anymore, so you will be the captain of the brothers in the future." Su Yi said, "If you are unsure, you can ask Kezhi, but you will be the one who makes the decision in the future."
In fact, this is also the structural arrangement that Su Yi wanted early on. He thinks it is the most reasonable to do so.
But is the most reasonable necessarily the most correct?
If Su Yi really arranged it this way at the time, then Hua Kezhi, Sun Fengming and others would definitely think that Su Yi is nepotism and have bad thoughts about Su Yi.
Especially Hua Kezhi, he would think that Su Yi relies on his wisdom and coordination ability, but does not let him be the leader. It is obvious that he is guarding against her and does not trust him, thus questioning Su Yi's mind and quality.
So at that time, Su Yi could only choose Hua Kezhi as the leader and hold down Yixiantian to balance the entire team.
But the situation is different now.
Hua Kezhi made a mistake and was dismissed. His most loyal brother Chen Chutai died. The remaining people, Yixiantian, Sun Fengming, Yang Songlin and Luo Yu, all supported Su Yi more. Su Yi appointed Yixiantian to replace Hua Kezhi at this time, and the team would not have any different ideas and voices.
Although it is a bit utilitarian and indifferent to say this, think about it the other way around. If Yixiantian led the team on this trip to Jinling, would there be the current tragedy?
At least Chen Chutai would never die.
"Will Kezhi go with Brother Jiu?" Yixiantian asked.
"No." Su Yi shook his head and affirmed, "He is not a person who escapes after making a mistake."
Sun Fengming was soon out of danger, and Luo Yu's broken fingers did not affect his ability to use swords and guns. This was a blessing in disguise.
This child was careless. He was fine with two broken fingers. When he heard that the Winter Emperor was going to perform again, he ran out to watch the show.
Wang Yaqiao asked to leave the next day. For safety reasons, only Su Yi saw him off.
"Liangchen, this time the fault is mine, but I sincerely hope that this incident will not affect the friendship between the two of us." Before leaving, Wang Yaqiao said very sincerely.
"How could it be, Brother Jiu?" Su Yi smiled, "We are good brothers with the same ideals. A temporary setback is nothing. I believe that you and I will cheer up and continue to act in the future."
"It's a pity that Wang Ni escaped this time!" Wang Yaqiao sighed, "Although this old thief did not die, he was scared and took sick leave with his wife Chen Bijun to Zheman for medical treatment."
It is unknown whether Wang Zhaoming was scared away or had an illness that needed treatment.
But he resigned from the post of Premier of the Executive Yuan and no longer held any real power position in the Guo government, which many people did not expect.
When he left, the political situation that was originally a three-legged tripod immediately became a fight between two tigers.
Now Hu Zhantang and Li Delin are fighting each other with their own means.
With the introduction of Wang Yaqiao, Liu Haiqing had already met Li Delin secretly. The two sides had a very pleasant conversation and Li Delin was very optimistic about Liu Haiqing.
The most important thing is that this person is obviously more open-minded and generous than Hu Zhantang.
When Su Yi called Liu Haiqing yesterday, Liu Haiqing hinted that this struggle was about to end.
It seems that Jinling will soon undergo a dramatic change.
"Brother Jiu, the road ahead is long and difficult, and you and I still need to work hand in hand." Su Yi said with some emotion.
Wang Yaqiao shook Su Yi's hand and said, "You must take care of yourself, Liangchen."
"I will, and you too."
It is impossible to say that there is no complaint against Wang Yaqiao, but this is just a difference in ideas between the two sides, not a personal grudge, and it will not affect the two people's continued support for each other in the future.
Wang Yaqiao is the kind of person who is not afraid of sacrifice for success, not afraid of his own sacrifice, nor afraid of others' sacrifice.
He takes human life lightly and thinks that as long as he can succeed, death is worth it.
As a person with modern thinking, Su Yi takes the lives of his own people very seriously. He believes that things can fail, but people must be fine, and human life is what Su Yi puts first.
He felt that if he could avoid sacrifice, he would never sacrifice, especially if he didn't have to increase the probability of success or make sacrifice part of the plan.
The two people's principles of action were completely opposite, so how could there be no conflict?
So there would be no chance of joint action in the future.
Hua Kezhi quickly took the initiative to find Su Yi to admit his mistakes, made his attitude clear, and was willing to follow Su Yi as a soldier to atone for his sins.
Through this painful lesson, Su Yi united the team again, corrected the structure, and also rectified the team members' exaggerated and inflated atmosphere that they thought they could succeed as long as they took action.
This was also a blessing in disguise, but it came at the cost of Chen Chutai's sacrifice, which was too heavy.
Yixiantian soon took action again in Jidong in the name of Ertiejiao, with the aim of clearing the outside world's suspicion of Ertiejiao in the Nanjing assassination incident.
Wang Yaqiao, who soon returned to Fujian, publicly admitted that the assassination of Wang was instigated by him, and once again denounced Wang's treasonous and pro-Japanese behavior.
To a certain extent, this once again diverted attention for Su Yi's team and cleared the suspicion.
At the same time, the International Fighting Competition began to warm up.
Gong Baosen accepted media interviews in Jinling and announced many details about the International Fighting Competition, which caused an uproar in public opinion. This event immediately became a hot topic in public opinion across the country.
