The same is the end of the world. Why should they have known each other when they met, Hongyu and Wang Zeru, one was frustrated in love and the other was hindered in their careers, so they lived together in the small alleys in the ancient city of Nanjing Jubaomen.

On that day, Hongyu disembarked and met Chen Zikun, who had returned to Jiangdong from Nanjing, and now he had another identity, President Chiang's personal representative, who made a special trip to Beijing to meet with Zhang Zuolin to discuss peace talks.

Chen Zikun first returned to Jiangdong to hand over the military and political affairs to Yan Su to preside, and then flew to Shanghai, before leaving, he had to be complained by the two ladies, saying that Beijing is dangerous, you don't guard the nest, what do you want to run around, Chen Zikun didn't reason with them, after all, it is unreasonable to talk to women, and Yan Su said behind his back, the general trend of the world has been decided, but there is still a war to recover Beijing, either I single-handedly persuade the Zhang family and his son, or the Jiangdong army has to join the war, otherwise, In the future, there will be no place for the Jiangdong Army in a unified country.

Yan Su thought so, and swore to Chen Zikun that he would sit in the provincial capital, and there would be absolutely no accident at home.

The next day, Chen Zikun flew to Shanghai by seaplane, and before transferring to a passenger ship to Tianjin, he went to meet a special person.

In the French Concession, shaded by green trees, in a small western-style building, Chen Zikun saw Lu Rongting, the former leader of the Gui family, who had been in the field for many years, he did not expect Chen Zikun to come to visit him, he was very happy, and ordered someone to serve wine and hospitality, after some greetings, Lu Rongting said: "Haoming wronged you, his fifth aunt does have a personal affair with the adjutant." ”

Chen Zikun naturally knew that he was innocent, and smiled indifferently: "Skynet is restored but not leaked, presumably Adjutant Huang and the fifth aunt must be punished." ”

Lu Rongting said: "Huang Yongfu, who lost his conscience, shot Haoming to death......"

There was silence for a long time, and then Chen Zikun asked what year it was.

"Haoming left in the 14th year of the Republic of China." Lu Rongting shook his head and sighed, still grieving for the death of the old brother.

Look at Lu Rongting's residence, although it is a garden house, but the style is old, the location is not good, and the plates used in the banquet are actually notched.

After learning that Chen Zikun was about to go north, Lu Rongting was very emotional, and personally revised a letter to ask Chen Zikun to present Zhang Zuolin in front of him: "When was it, I and Yuting were one south and one north, dominating the wind and clouds, but now I can't do it anymore, it doesn't make sense for Yuting to hold on, but behind him is the Japanese, a bunch of evil ghosts who eat people and don't spit out bones, I am sixteen years older than Yuting, if he is obsessed, he will not die in front of me." ”

In the end, Chen Zikun left a check of 3,000 yuan, and asked Lu Rongting to hand it over to Tan Haoming's widow, a little bit of heart, Lu Rongting did not refuse, and stood at the door of the house to see Chen Zikun away.

"Haoming, we are all old, and the world belongs to these young people after all." Lu Rongting said to himself, and the faces of a group of people from the new Gui family appeared in front of him, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Huang Shaohong, these people were all battalion commanders and company commanders in the Gui Army back then, and after eight years, they were already generals and commanders, and they were also the chairman of Guangxi Province.

……

Just before Chen Zikun left, he found Liang Maocai's drunken figure dangling in front of the door, and sent someone to arrest him and ask him to find out that this kid was not used to living in the countryside, and he secretly ran back to Shanghai within three days of getting married, borrowed a few hundred yuan from Xue Bin, and soaked in the wine shop and tobacco all day long.

"Dogs still smoke big cigarettes!" Chen Zikun was furious, he hated people to smoke opium the most, but he didn't expect his subordinates to be addicted to drugs.

"Drag it out and kill it, quiet." Chen Zikun waved his hand impatiently, holding Liang Maocai left and right but slowly not going outside, with the intention of asking him to beg for mercy, but Liang Maocai laughed and said: "Death is death, Lao Tzu has a rotten life, he has already lived enough life." ”

"Wait." Chen Zikun stepped forward and looked directly into Liang Maocai's eyes: "You are not even afraid of death, are you still afraid of quitting smoking?" ”

Liang Maocai looked at him: "Why do I want to quit smoking?" Smoke a lot of smoke and feel comfortable, you can relieve your worries. ”

Chen Zikun said: "Double happiness, beat him." ”

Shuangxi hesitated and didn't dare to go up, he knew that Liang Maocai was famous, not only good marksmanship, but also fist and foot kung fu, he was not his opponent.

"Qingfeng, you go."

Chen Zikun was a little Taoist boy who was holding calves, and now he has grown into a young officer, carrying a second lieutenant epaulette on his shoulder, and he is also Chen Zikun's personal adjutant, he rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to push Liang Maocai, and actually pushed him staggering.

In the past, Liang Maocai was as strong as a calf, but now he has become weak and can't help it, being bullied by a small adjutant, Liang Maocai was furious, pounced on it and fought, but he couldn't beat Qing Feng, bent over and panting, his face was pale, and his face was painful.

"Dog Day's big smoke addiction, tie it up and make him comfortable." Chen Zikun shouted.

Liang Maocai was tied into a car, and Chen Zikun wanted to take him to Beijing to watch him quit smoking.

The steamer set sail from Shanghai, went straight to Tianjin, and arrived at Tianjin Port a few days later, Liang Maocai was already thin like a skeleton, these days adrift at sea, not to mention opium, even if the food is eaten, he has to vomit out, fortunately, he has a solid foundation, if it is an ordinary person, he would have tossed to death.

Chen Zikun came as Chiang Kai-shek's personal representative on this trip, and did not have an official status, so he did not wear a military uniform, and he made a long-distance call to Zhang Xueliang after arriving in Tianjin, and the young marshal immediately arranged for a special train at Tianjin Railway Station to send Chen Zikun to Beijing.

The train drove to Zhengyangmen Railway Station, Zhang Xueliang personally went to the station to greet him, during the confrontation between the two armies, it was inconvenient to welcome with great fanfare, there was no guard of honor, no military band, and no red carpet, quietly out of the VIP channel, got into the bulletproof car, Zhang Xueliang stretched out his hand to Chen Zikun in the car: "Don't come to harm, Brother Kunwu." ”

"Han Qing has lost a lot of weight." Chan shook hands with him and greeted him.

When the car started, Zhang Xueliang said: "Is it still a car factory this time?" I suggest you stay at the Rokkoku Hotel. ”

Chen Zikun said: "How do you say this? ”

Zhang Xueliang said: "The news of your coming to Beijing has been known by others, I am afraid that the main battle party will be unfavorable to you, you know, Yang Yuting doesn't even listen to the words of the old handsome, I can't control him, plus Sun Chuanfang and Zhang Zongchang are both trying their best to lead the battle, you are a lobbyist, but it is very dangerous." ”

Chen Zikun laughed: "If you don't go into the tiger's den, you can achieve peace, I just want them to know that the revolutionary army is bold." ”

Having said that, Chen Zikun still chose to stay at the Liuguo Hotel, and after a simple wash, he went directly to the Shuncheng County Mansion to meet Zhang Zuolin, the generalissimo of the army and navy of the Anguo Army of the Beiyang government, and the actual head of state.

Shuncheng County Palace, on the flagpole at the gate, the five-color flag hunting fluttering, sixteen Fengjun soldiers wearing yellow tweed military uniforms stood with their heads held high, holding the Liao thirteen-year style rifle marching salute.

The bulletproof car slowly stopped, Zhang Xueliang's adjutant sorghum stalk jumped out of the passenger seat, opened the rear door, and Chen Zikun, dressed in a windbreaker and top hat, jumped out of the car, waved back, and walked straight to the gate.

Entering the gate, both sides of the road are full of honor guards, majestic, murderous, all of them are tall and more than one meter eight of the big men, the cowhide armed belt is very tight, holding a shining sword, gun, halberd, axe, hook and fork, two gates shouted: "Children, set up the knife door!" ”

All kinds of cold weapons set up a long arch in the air, this is a ritual handed down from ancient times to test the courage of the messenger, passing under the blade, it does require great courage and perseverance, you must know that sometimes the other party is not bluffing, but will really chop down, the messenger into a pulp.

Of course, today's Shuncheng County Palace's knife gate is just a trick played by the old handsome, and it will definitely not be really chopped down, but Chen Zikun doesn't plan to let Zhang Zuolin play this majesty, he looked left and right, the corner weapon rack was full of all kinds of weapons, stepped forward and took an ash pole, waved it twice in the air to try toughness, whining, and it was really a good stick.

Put down the ash rod, take off the top hat, take off the windbreaker and hand it to the sorghum stalk to hold, the toes suddenly lifted, the ash rod rose to the sky, copied it in his hand, and rushed into the knife door with a loud shout.

Everyone was dumbfounded, which one is this singing?

Chen Zikun walked all the way, an ash pole danced impermeable, the sound of weapons connecting, and the knife door was beaten by him in all directions, and it collapsed.

The one hundred and eight selected honor guards are mainly used for façade, and they are okay with rifles, but their ability to play with broadswords is far worse, and besides, this kind of scene is really outrageous, they are all stunned, and let Chen Zikun fight all the way in.

In an instant, when he arrived at the second door, Chen Zikun's face was not red or breathless, he threw the stick to the ground and stretched out his hand: "Hat, windbreaker." ”

The sorghum stalks stepped forward, presented a top hat and windbreaker, Chen Zikun brushed his hair, put on a hat, put on a windbreaker, and strode into the second door with his head held high.

In the lobby of the palace, Zhang Yushuai and the generals witnessed Chen Zikun's heroic appearance all the way in, and they were all stunned for a while, and the dense gongs and drums sounded in their ears unconsciously, which was clearly the rhythm of Beijing Opera havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

"Yu Shuai, this guy is too crazy, take him for questioning!" Zhang Zongchang said angrily, now each is his master, so he doesn't care if he and Chen Zikun are friends.

"Chen Kunwu is too arrogant, and he treats my Anguo Army as if he is nothing." Sun Chuanfang said.

Yang Yuting didn't say a word, and quietly looked at Zhang Zuolin's face.

Zhang Zuolin's face was cloudy, and he didn't laugh out loud until Chen Zikun walked to the door of the lobby: "Ahahaha, it's really a hero out of a young man, and he is so arrogant as a messenger, you Chen Zikun is the number one in our Republic of China." ”

Chen Zikun hugged his fists and said: "Yushuai, Zhugong, I entered the door this time, doesn't it symbolize the current situation, the Beiyang sunset and the western mountains, the revolutionary army is like a broken bamboo, just with a knife gate, how can I stop the footsteps of the Northern Expeditionary Army and the general trend of unification of the world." ”

Everyone was furious, Zhang Zuolin's face also darkened, Yang Yuting patted the arm of the chair and stood up: "Presumptuous, I serve 400,000 male soldiers, should you be a local chicken and a dog!" ”
