Chapter 104: Time

"Xiao Moqing? What did he ask me to do? Chen Zhenfan frowned.

Of course he knew Xiao Moqing, when Duanfang "feasted" the gentry and celebrities of Zizhou, Xiao Moqing was also a frequent guest at the seat, and Chen Zhenfan, as an officer of the New Army, had also talked to Xiao Moqing a few times, but because of this, he couldn't figure out why Xiao Moqing invited him.

You must know that the so-called "banquet" is actually extortion and blackmail, and although Duanfang's governance of the army is good, but after staying for such a long time, there are often soldiers who harass the people, it can be said that the gentry and people in Zizhou now have a bad impression of Duanfang and the Hubei New Army...

In this case, a gentry like Xiao Moqing should avoid him, so how could he take the initiative to come to him?

"Anyway, Brother Yu, let's go see him." Li Shaobai said on the side. "That Xiao Moqing is also a famous gentry in Zizhou, and if we deal with it well, it will be of great help to us."

Chen Zhenfan thought about it carefully and nodded. "That's right." He said to the soldier who had just run in. "Did the man say the time and place?"

"Tonight, Telford Restaurant." The soldier hurriedly said that he was also a member of the military alliance, so Chen Zhenfan did not need to avoid him.

"Telford Restaurant? That's a very good restaurant! An officer laughed.

"Yes, the best restaurant in Zizhou..."Chen Zhenfan smiled, but he was more and more puzzled in his heart...

By the way, Defu Restaurant can also drink flower wine, although he is indeed a restaurant and not a green building...

Because Xiao Moqing did not say that he wanted to invite others, Chen Zhenfan only rode into the city with a few guards after nightfall.

"A few military masters, I don't know..."In front of the restaurant, seeing Chen Zhenfan and a few personal soldiers leading the horses over, Xiao Er hurriedly greeted him.

"We have an appointment with Mr. Xiao Moqing."

"Oh, it's Master Xiao!" As soon as he heard Chen Zhenfan say Xiao Moqing, Xiao Er nodded hurriedly. "You're Lord Chen, aren't you? Master Xiao is waiting for you in the private room on the second floor. ”

Because Xiao Moqing invited Chen Zhenfan, the few guards he brought couldn't go upstairs with him, but Chen Zhenfan didn't need to worry that his few guards would be neglected, because in this case, the people who invited guests would usually even entertain the guests' subordinates.

Sure enough, after Chen Zhenfan went upstairs, the guards were led to a secluded position by Xiao Er, and after a while, good wine and meat were served.

"Lord Chen!" Looking at Chen Zhenfan, who walked into the private room, Xiao Moqing hurriedly stood up and arched his hand.

"Mr. Xiao!" Chen Zhenfan also hurriedly replied, although he is equivalent to a five-grade official, but at the moment, it is better to be polite to this group of gentry in Zizhou.

But...

"This is..."Looking at the other middle-aged man who stood up with Xiao Moqing, Chen Zhenfan was a little puzzled.

Xiao Moqing hid his nervousness with a smile. "Let me introduce you, this is my best friend Luo Lun..."

"Luo Lun?" Hearing this name, Chen Zhenfan was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked! "Against the party Luo Lun?"

"It's in the bottom, but now he is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Sichuan Military and Political Axe, not some anti-party!" Saying that, Luo Lun also arched his hand towards Chen Zhenfan. "It's been a long time since I've heard of it, Team Chen..."

――――――――――

When Luo Lun and Chen Zhenfan were meeting in the restaurant, Yan Guang and the others had just come out of the barracks.

"I don't know what happened to Luo Lun, whether it went well or not..."Looking at the already dark sky outside the car window, Yan Guang muttered.

"Don't worry, Governor, Vice Minister Luo will definitely be able to complete the task smoothly." Feng Nan said with a smile.

Yan Guang nodded. "I hope he succeeds, or I'll need to leave at least one division of troops behind..."

"Governor, is the Ejun really so powerful?" Hearing Yan Guang say this, Feng Nan, who had seen the Sichuan New Army, was a little curious.

"What do you say?" Yan Guang scratched his head. Although the overall strength of the Hubei Army is not as good as that of the Beiyang Army, if it is only one-on-one, the Hubei New Army will not be much worse than the Beiyang Army. ”

"That's right..."

At this time, it was already the end of November, although Sichuan was located in the southwest, not as cold as the northern region, but the temperature of only more than ten degrees still made Yan Guang tighten his clothes.

"It's a little cold," said Yan Guang, closing the window on the carriage. I don't know if there will be any inconvenience in fighting in this climate. ”

"Don't worry, Dudu, the group of people in the Shu army is just a rabble, I believe we will be able to destroy it..."

"I hope so..."

At this time, in the restaurant in Zizhou, after the initial shock, Chen Zhenfan had already sat down with Luo Lun and the others to talk.

In fact, at the beginning, Xiao Moqing planned to take advantage of the banquet to tap on the side to see if he could come up with anything to determine Chen Zhenfan's identity. Although Xiao Moqing himself is already nine out of ten, it is better to confirm some things after all.

However, out of trust in his best friends, and the most important thing is to shorten the time as soon as possible, Luo Lun decided to get straight to the point.

"The purpose of Luo's visit this time, presumably Inspector Chen's team already knows..."

"I can guess some..."

"Since that's the case, then let's get straight to the point, this time Governor Yan sent Luo to come, just hoping that Governor Chen's team can get into trouble as soon as possible..."

They are both smart people, so Luo Lun pointed out the purpose of his trip.

"Incident..."Chen Zhenfan laughed strangely. And then what? Is it to watch you destroy the Shu army, or to help the Shu army fight against you? Chen Zhenfan, who understood his role, did not believe that the purpose of Luo Lun's trip was for the revolution.

But...

"Inspector Chen is also an understanding person, so Luo is not here to make a fool of himself. That's right, the purpose of Yan Dudu's trip is to hope to untie the new army in Zizhou as soon as possible, so that all his strength can be used to deal with the Shu army in Yucheng, and then completely unify Sichuan..."

Hearing what Luo Lun said so bluntly, Chen Zhenfan also sat up straight. "I, Zhang Peijue and the others of the Shu Army are all members of the Alliance, since we already know your purpose, how can we still do what you say..."

However, hearing this, Luo Lun smiled. "I believe that Inspector Chen already knows the situation in Hubei..."

Chen Zhenfan nodded silently, although the transmission of information is not smooth now, but the things in Hubei can still be passed on to some extent...

"The war in Hubei is not going well, Hankou has been lost, and I am afraid that Hanyang will not be needed..." Hanyang is lost, Chen Du's team, how long do you think Wuchang can hold it? ”
