When he walked to the gate, Jian Bing suddenly turned around and said, "On the table is a gift for my sister, please smile." After that, he went out.

Chen Zikun was in a hurry, people came all the way from Shanghai, and were robbed by bandits in the middle, it can be said that he only arrived in Beijing after nine deaths, and he was squeezed out as soon as he entered the door, what is this like, he was just about to chase it, Li Yaoting came over with two suitcases, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I follow my sister-in-law, you can persuade this sister-in-law at home." ”

The two of them hurried away with their luggage like this, but Yao Yilei, who won the first battle, did not feel victorious, but had the illusion of punching in the cotton pile, this woman from Shanghai is too enchanting, she is definitely a strong enemy, how can she be defeated, no, she must be making a bitter trick.

Yao Yilei stomped into the living room, sat down on the Taishi chair in a huff, and said, "Mom Zhang, throw out the things left by outsiders." ”

The maid looked at Chen Zikun hesitantly, but did not dare to move the nest.

Yao Yilei was furious, and personally grabbed the wooden box on the table and prepared to throw it out, but she stopped when she held it in her hand, she was born in a big family, and she saw a lot of good things, this small agarwood box was very solid in her hand, the color was as black as glaze, and a fragrance that seemed to be distant rippled in front of her, and it was a good thing!

This small box alone is worth a fortune, isn't the treasure in it more valuable, for a while Yao Yilei forgot to be mad, curiosity prevailed, and gently put the agarwood box on the table, opened it slowly, and the cherry mouth couldn't help but open into an O-shape.

In the box was a diamond necklace, white gold, set with countless broken diamonds, and at the end of a large pale pink diamond, the size of a pigeon's egg!

Oh my God, such a valuable gift, where is Yao Yilei willing to throw it, she happily picked it up and compared it to her neck, only hating that there was no mirror in the living room.

Suddenly seeing Chen Zikun standing in front of the hall, Yao Yilei remembered that her anger was not finished, threw the diamond necklace into the box, and snorted coldly: "Who is rare." ”

Chen Zikun was just about to speak, Yao Yilei got up and said: "Don't say anything, I don't listen, can't I make room for you, Mother Zhang, Ah Fu, let's go, go to Tianjin." ”

Yao Yilei didn't even take a change of clothes, and directly asked Ah Fu to drive a car to Tianjin, Chen Zikun didn't keep her, women can't get used to it when they are angry, anyway, this dead end can't be solved by themselves, let the two women fight.

A minute later, someone suddenly knocked on the door, Chen Zikun thought it was Yao Yilei back, opened the door and saw that it was Yan Su, a colleague from the War Department, standing at the door, wearing a Yin Dan Shilin blue cloth robe, wearing glasses, not like a military judge, but like a university professor.

"Lieutenant Colonel Yan, you're a rare guest." Chen Zikun hurriedly invited him into the living room, personally made tea and handed water, Yan Su looked around, and couldn't help laughing: "Your house is really good, but it's a pity that there are a few people." ”

Chen Zikun said: "To make you laugh, I borrowed money to buy this house, no, I borrowed thousands of yuan from Wang Geng and didn't pay it back." ”

Yan Su said: "No, it is rumored that your old Taishan is Yao Qizhen, vice president of the Bank of Communications, and he is a rich man." ”

Chen Zikun smiled bitterly: "Don't mention it, the Yao family doesn't agree to this family affair at all, I'm not afraid that you will laugh, the family has just finished a fight." ”

Yan Su smiled: "If you guess correctly, it should have something to do with the lady in Zaozhuang Hospital."

Chen Zikun said: "Brother Yan is an understanding person, so he won't say anything. ”

Yan Su said with a smile: "It's normal for a husband to have three wives and four concubines, Brother Kunwu doesn't have to worry, since there is no one to serve at home, it is better for you and me to go out for a drink or two." ”

Chen Zikun was a little puzzled, Yan Su and he had only known each other for two days, and their friendship was not very deep, why did he suddenly find a visit to his home and invite himself to have a glass of wine, looking at it like this, I am afraid that he has something to say.

Happily agreed, the two went out and walked a few steps, Yan Su pointed to the second meat shop at the mouth of the alley and said, "Just here." ”

"How can that be done, it's too lazy, let's go to the east and come to Shun." Chen Zikun said politely.

"No, it's secluded here, so it's easy to talk." Yan Su entered the second meat shop, ordered four stir-fried vegetables, a pot and two pots, sat down at the greasy table in the corner, and took out a cigarette to ask Chen Zikun to smoke.

The person in charge of the spoon was stir-frying at the door, and there was no one else in the second meat shop, Yan Su got straight to the point and said, "What is Brother Kunwu's next step?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "After beating Jin Yongyan, the War Department can't stay any longer, and I am ready to go back to the Third Division in Luoyang." ”

Yan Su said: "I shouldn't ask, what position does Brother Kunwu think he can get under the command of Wu Dashuai?" ”

Chen Zikun couldn't help but ponder, and only replied after a while: "Guan Zhang can't be ranked, at least Zhao Ma is among them." ”

Yan Su smiled faintly: "According to me, even if it's Guan Zhang, it's not interesting, it's better to be Sima Yi." ”

This was domineering, Chen Zikun couldn't help but squint his eyes and look at this Yan Xiao'an carefully, at this time he was even more sure that the other party came to him at this juncture, and it was not as simple as drinking and chatting.

The young man came upside down, put four plates, burst the belly, slipped the liver tip, slipped the fat intestine, fried peanuts, put a pot of wine, and greeted: "Guest officer, use it slowly." ”

Yan Su picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Chen Zikun, and said: "In today's situation, you must also know that Premier Zhang was forced out of power by the parliamentarians of the Tianjin faction and the Bao faction, and the president was alone, trapped in a private house in Dongchang Hutong, unable to move an inch, and even the telephone line was pinched, this is our government, our country." ”

Chen Zikun sighed, the country is in such a mess, it is really not a blessing for the people.

Yan Su said: "The warlords control the government, the Congress is in vain, the north and the south of the country are divided, and the princes are divided. ”

Chen Zikun asked tentatively, "Wu Dashuai?" ”

"Cut~" Yan Su snorted, shook his head and said: "At first, I also thought that Wu Dashuai could save China, he stopped in Hengyang, and telegraphed the whole country to oppose the reunification of force, but now he is training troops in Luoyang, although it is not explicitly stated, but the world knows that it is still the abacus of unification by force, fighting back and forth, China is not a plate of scattered sand, in the final analysis, it is hopeless to expect the warlords to save China." ”

Chen Zikun was vigilant, this Lieutenant Colonel Yan, could it be **?

"Come, come, drink." Yan Su picked up the cup himself and dried it first, smacking his lips and said, "It's far away, Brother Kunwu don't be surprised, in fact, I came today to send you a future." ”

"Future?" Chen Zikun became even more suspicious, and said in his heart that I followed Wu Dashuai is not enough to have a bright future.

Yan Su smiled: "You must be thinking, the future has been planned, following Wu Dashuai is definitely a splendid future, if you really think so, then you are wrong." ”

"Brother Yan, please advise." Chen Zikun accompanied him for a drink and humbly asked for advice.

"I'll give you an analysis of the current situation." Yan Su said, "The president is about to go into the wilderness, Cao Laoshuai will definitely realize his dream of being presidential, but this presidential position is done by others, but he Cao Kun can't sit still." ”

"Why is that?" Chen Zikun does not have a deep study of politics, but he knows that now the power of his direct family is in full swing, and Cao Kun, as the head of his direct line, is not the president, and others are not qualified to do so.

"Listen to me slowly." Yan Su drank and ate peanuts at the same time, and talked eloquently, "Whether it is Xu Shichang or Li Yuanhong, they are all old people at the same level as Yuan Shikai, and they can also suppress the scene in terms of seniority, but Cao Kun can't, the old-timers are here, where is his turn to sit in this position, then the Congress will definitely be chaotic, you must say, Cao Laoshuai has soldiers under his hands, then it is even more unbearable, now the situation in China is three-legged, Zhang Zuolin of the three eastern provinces, Cao Wu of the direct line, Sun Wen of the southwest, no matter which side is dominant, The other two sides have to join forces to fight, so even if they find a scholar to be the president, such as Liang Qichao, it is better than Cao Kun himself. ”

Chen Zikun said: "There is some truth, but Cao Laoshuai, the president, must do it." ”

"Yes, Cao Kun must be the president, it is bound to provoke the anger of the heavens, Zhang Zuolin has been fighting hard since the defeat last year, and he will definitely enter the customs in a big way, and Sun Wen in Guangzhou will not sit idly by, you wait and see, at this time next year, China will definitely be in chaos!"

"So, what does this have to do with my future?" Chen Zikun was puzzled.

"Of course, it is related, you are Wu Peifu's favorite general, you will inevitably follow him with a glory and a loss, and Zhifeng will fight again, it is not necessary for the deer to die, if Wu Dashuai is defeated, then your future will come to an end, it is better to take advantage of the current opportunity to get a piece of your own territory, rather be a chicken head, not a phoenix tail, the ancients are honest and do not deceive me."

"Your own turf?" Chen Zikun was shocked, this Yan Su is really not shocking and endless, in today's China, the warlords are divided, the big warlords control the territory of a province or even several provinces, and the small warlords also control the territory of several counties, there are more wolves and less meat, and there are endless disputes, every month there are old warlords in the field, and new warlords appear on the stage, he is just a small third-class lieutenant section member of the War Department, how can he get his own territory.

Yan Su smiled slightly: "Don't be surprised, I've been planning for several years, and today I finally waited for the right opportunity and the right person, I decided to send you a future, a big future, Jiangbei Protector Envoy, the rank of major general, are you still satisfied with this position?" ”

Chen Zikun shook his head: "Brother Yan, forgive the little brother for being stupid, how can you casually seal the position of military envoy as a lieutenant colonel of the military law department?" ”

Yan Su smiled slyly: "Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the government is collapsing, no one is in charge, it is easy to steal a protector." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Steal? ”

Yan Su said: "Yes, this military envoy was stolen, but it is no different from the real thing, all the documents and procedures are real, even the president's seal on the letter of appointment is fake." ”

Chen Zikun understands that now it is anarchy, and the War Department has no family, and it is too simple to forge official documents, but after all, the letter of appointment is just a piece of paper, and the power of a military envoy without territory is not as great as the power of a police chief in Beijing.

As if guessing what he was thinking, Yan Su dipped his finger in wine and drew a map on the table: "I have also helped you plan the territory, the northwest of Jiangdong Province, a hundred miles around the north bank of the Huai River, rich in coal and iron resources, and convenient water transportation, it is a good place for us to show our strength." ”
