Thanks to them, the coalition army did not believe in anyone except their own, and did not respond to Zheng Jinsheng's request to mix the troops.

Although the hill where they were stationed was also attacked by some itinerant troops.

But when they returned to the camp early in the morning, they found that the original team had already received several remnants of the army that had been dispersed by Zhang Zongchang.

This group of people escaped death, and followed their coalition forces to see how their troops were destroyed, and they had no intention of defecting to Zhang Zongchang.

After returning to the camp, Chu Shanzhi and Guo Deqiang looked at each other with joy, this night was really not in vain, there was no need to do anything, Zhang Dujun sent them people.

The pie that falls from the sky is not eaten for nothing.

Without saying a word, the two of them integrated these scattered armies, divided them in half, and one led a supernumerary army to retreat to his sphere of influence.

As for the news that Zhang Zongchang said in the subsequent telegram to the leaders of the garrison regiments and armies that he would be rewarded for arresting Zheng Jicheng?

Who's going to take it seriously.

Now that they know that Zheng Jicheng has become a fish that slipped through the net, if they don't run into it, it's fine, but if they do, they must help each other.

It is always good to leave a future trouble, so that Zhang Zongchang has one more enemy.

It is also because of the lack of unification in Shandong that Zheng Jicheng, who ran away, saw a glimmer of life.

When his men were wiped out by the pursuing troops sent by Zhang Zongchang, he also escaped from the confines of Shandong Province without any problems.

Along the canal wharf in Liaocheng, it was all the way north to go directly to Beiping City to ask for his rescue.

When Zhang Zongchang finished handing over to the Japanese and turned back to Jecheng to find trouble with his second biggest enemy, he found that the little old man of the Chu family had a big dinner party.

The celebrities in Jeseong Province who have a little bit of face have received the invitation of the first master.

As the largest overseer in a province, when Zhang Zongchang first arrived in Jicheng, he naturally received a copy.

So what did the old man do with the feast?

Celebrate the graduation ceremony of his daughter and the future son-in-law of the Chu family, the business wizard Shao Nian of Jeseong.

Yes, when Shao Nianshi fled south under the arrangement of the first master, he actually took the first snow with him.

Of course, there are reasons for the two of them to have more contact, but more of them still have to let Zhang Zongchang go.

Not for anything else, but Zhang Zongchang's lustful name, but his stay in Qingcheng for just a few days has already spread to Jicheng.

Zhang Zongchang, who has gained real power, is full of his true colors, not only accepted the Japanese emergency provided by the Japanese, the daughter of a small businessman in Qingcheng, but also had something to do with Yu Yanhong in Zhongshan Road in Qingcheng.

I heard that after this Overseer saw the first prostitute in Qingcheng and the first beauty in Qingcheng, he couldn't move his legs.

As a big boss, he was stunned to start poetry in front of beauties.

As for this poem, it is also related to a famous scene in Jiaodong, the so-called heavenly fairyland, Penglai on the ground, in order to express his praise for Jiaodong and let the Yu Meiren in front of him see his own literary talent, Zhang Zongchang waved his pen and made the poem "You Penglai Pavilion" with the most sentences written in his life.

It's a good Penglai Pavilion, it's good.

If the gods can reach it, I will also sit down.

Set up a drink by the window and sing to the sea.

Come and guess a few punches, my brother-in-law is afraid of drinking too much!

After finishing it, he looked at Yu Yanhong's place with his little Wang Ba mung bean-like eyes, waiting for the beautiful woman in front of him to fall for his love.

This performance made Yu Yanhong, who was under the eaves, have to endure the nausea and pat each other with her little hands.

If this is a guest next to her, even if it is the police chief of Qingcheng, she will use a spittoon to buckle the other party's head.

However, it is also thanks to this Zhang Zongchang that he is a hungry ghost in color, and he does not refuse to come to the scene with his interest in color, but he only wants to be fresh.

Yu Yanhong's greatest fear of being too charismatic provoked the Overseer to entangle him to redeem himself did not happen.

After Zhang Zongchang had enough of playing in Qingcheng, he swaggered back to Jicheng.

In his opinion, Zheng Jinsheng's troops were beaten by him, and even if Zheng Jicheng escaped from Shandong, it would have become yesterday's yellow flower.

Now that Jeseong is empty, it is the time for him to swear sovereignty.

It was precisely when he heard about this Zhang Zongchang's reputation that the master of the first family made a decision and packed up his own girl.

Since it is going south, then go directly to Chu Shaojun, it is said that this kid has done a good job in the Whampoa Military Academy in recent years, and has become one of Principal Jiang's most proud students.

With the support of the southern government, the business of the first family going south should be much easier.

So, the two lovers, who had already graduated from middle school, took the servants and went south around the guards without delay.

The number of this escort group is no less than 100 people, in addition to the elite cultivated by the Chu family itself, there are also fierce soldiers who hold calves led by Wang Shuzi.

Now Wang Shuzi's doll has only come out of his mother's belly not long ago.

Wang Shuzi, who was only thinking about living a good life, packed the doll with his mother and put it on the southbound convoy.

Because of the concealment of the crowd, Zhang Zongchang was still kept in the dark when he came back.

He wondered where he had the courage to give him an invitation, and out of curiosity, he really went that night after taking the invitation.

This Zhang Zongchang is also afraid of death, so he took a team of soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition to a banquet at a charity house in Yijicheng.

Who would have thought that the master of the house would stand in his own door to entertain guests, and he didn't care at all that Zhang Zongchang arranged the guard group at the door, and entered the banquet hall with two bodyguards.

After Chu Kaipeng saw Zhang Zongchang coming, he was very happy to bow his hand to the other party, and handed over the words as soon as he opened his mouth: "Thank you Zhang Dujun for coming to the humble house to participate in the graduation celebration of my first daughter and fiancé." ”

"The two young men of them too, just think that our old man's big feast is too old-fashioned, and he even said that he was going to study without saying a word. ”

He also said that he wanted to investigate whether the best universities in China were in the south or in the north. ”

"Tell me what young people are thinking about nowadays. ”

"I also thought that everyone would take this opportunity to get together and have a good time. ”

Who thought that he was shaken on the spot by these two juniors. ”

"But this invitation has already been sent out, and the banquet is almost arranged, so I can't hang all my colleagues in Jeseong on the spot, right?"

"So I'm in charge, let's celebrate ours, and it doesn't matter if the two juniors are not there. ”

Tut-tut, Zhang Zongchang stood in the hall and looked at Chu Kaipeng, who was amazed.

This middle-aged businessman with kind eyebrows and extraordinary bearing is indeed worthy of the title of the first person in Lu businessmen.

It's just like the real thing, and it's not alien at all.

However, thinking that this person's influence in Shandong cannot be dealt with in the same way as ordinary warlords......

This only knows that Zhang Zongchang, who is reckless, really has no good way to clean up this beginner's family.

It's a pleasure to be killed by a single shot.

However, according to the status of Chu Kaipeng, I am afraid that the economy of Jicheng will collapse tomorrow.

As soon as the shops belonging to the first family are closed, most of Jeseong will not be able to think about running well.

In case Chu Kaipeng's eldest son escapes, maybe his soldiers in Shandong will have to go to the field to harvest if they want to eat food.

These businessmen are a real nuisance, even more difficult to deal with than those bandit leaders and government officials.

Since Shao Nianshi fled when he heard that he was returning, he let the other party go for the time being.

Thinking about it carefully, it was Shao Nian who overturned the boat in the gutter at the beginning, but when he got to the back, it was mostly the unhappy people from this first family who gave him.

Now Shao Nianshi has also become the quasi-son-in-law of the charity and patriotic businessman opposite......

This old and small one is not a good thing!

Seeing that Zhang Zongchang didn't take advantage of himself for a while, Chu Kaipeng gave up his hands and went to entertain the guests next to him.

Now he and Zhang Zongchang are hedgehogs against wild dogs.

Don't look at the other party's huge body and sharp teeth, but as long as you hide your weaknesses, the other party will be helpless against him.

Thinking about the progress of Shao Nian's trip with his daughter, I am afraid that he has already arrived in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

As long as they cross the military line of confrontation between the north and the south, they will be considered completely safe.

This old man's estimation is really correct.

Shao Nianshi and the first snow king, bolt and his party, first used horse-drawn carriages and other tools to travel by land and act together.

When they arrived in Shandong, they went to the nearest railway station around them, and everyone began to divide their troops.

Because Wang Shuzi and his family were tired, he couldn't look at the scenery on the roadside like Shao Nian and Chu Xue.

Therefore, Wang Shuzi led his personal guards to escort most of everyone's luggage from Shanghai to Guangzhou by boat.

And Shao Nianshi and Chu Xue took the guards of the first family to take the land route along the railway, stop and go, and see the great mountains and rivers that they had never seen before.

Shao Nianshi's decision made Chu Xue very happy.

As a lady who has never been out of Shandong Province for 17 years, going outside to enjoy a different scenery is exactly what she dreams of.

Now that they have graduated, they will go to the universities in the south and taste the food of Jiangnan, enrich their knowledge and enjoy their lives.

This journey began in Shanghai.

The title of the Oriental Pearl is not called in vain.

Even in this turbulent era, the city of Shanghai still attracts investment from all sides.

As a provincial capital, Jicheng has disappeared from the streets at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, but after arriving in Shanghai, it is the beginning of the city's nightlife.

Because of the large number of people, before they were about to arrive in Shanghai, they asked the branch opened by the Chu family to charter a restaurant here for everyone's accommodation.

It's a pity that Wang Shuzi and his entourage are tired of traveling and driving, and they have to catch the boat tomorrow, so only the neatly dressed Shao Nian took the first snow to visit the night market in Shanghai.

The two people on the road did not dislike the relatively proud and xenophobic Shanghai citizens because they still had two servants behind them.

It's just that these two people who should have had a good stroll, after having the opportunity to be alone, were not as optimistic as they were on the road.

"When I was young, you said, Zhang Zongchang won't embarrass my father, right?"

Shao Nianshi lowered his eyelids and looked at Chu Xue's little hands hidden under the big silk sleeves rubbing back and forth because of worry, and he couldn't help but hold Chu Xue's hand in the palm of his hand: "Don't worry, you should believe in Uncle Chu's energy in Shandong." ”

"The two of us leaving was the best option. ”

"If you and I are in Jecheng now, then Uncle Chu needs to spend more experience to mediate with Zhang Zongchang. ”

"Most of his energy is going to be put on protecting you and me, and we won't be comfortable living if we become his constraints. ”

"It's not like now, although we are going south, it is for Uncle Chu to let go of a heavy burden. ”

"In addition, I also pondered on the road, and now Zhang Zongchang should have retreated to the provincial capital Jicheng, so the few shadows I planted in Qingcheng can be activated. ”

"Don't worry, when we arrive in Guangzhou, the constraints on Zhang Zongchang's arrangement over there will also start to operate. ”

"Anyway, we can't let him get better. ”

Speaking of this, Shao Nian paused for a moment, and said to Chu Xue with some apologies: "It's all useless to me, I just thought about listening to my father and being a rich landlord." ”

"It's just that who would have thought that the outside world would be so chaotic?"

"If I had given up business and joined the military like Brother Shao Jun, would I have the ability to protect you and protect this country? ”

"Where is it like now, I want you, the eldest lady, to follow me to taste the pain of displacement. ”

This made Chu Xue happy, and she smiled: "You are talking nonsense again, you don't know that if you want to become a warlord, the opportunity is greater than the strength." ”

"You see, my father never interfered in the formation of warlords, and he didn't think it was safer to be a businessman than a soldier. ”

"Look at that Zhang Zongchang again, how many people have climbed by chance to get the current opportunity. ”

"But the head he lowered at the beginning, the hardships he endured, and the ruthlessness he made at the beginning, you can't do anything about it. ”

"When I was young, do you know why I have a crush on you?"

Shao Nianshi shook his head, he pondered that he was actually a very tolerant person, for a girl like Chu Xue, who was actually very alienated and high in her bones, she should also belong to the group of vulgar people.

Of course, he was also curious about when the young lady of the first family had a good impression of him, so after he shook his head, he waited for the girl opposite to give him an answer.

Seeing this, Chu Xue pursed her lips and stared at Shao Nianshi's eyes with an extremely serious expression.

"Because I see transparency and rebelliousness in your eyes. ”

"You will bow your head because of the situation, but you will never kneel to live. ”

"You're the same person as me, you've never felt like a real clay leg. ”

"From the first time I saw you, the time I saw you staring at us under the big willow tree, I knew that you were not a slaved man. ”
