Chen Zikun officially declared war on Lu Yongxiang in Zhejiang and He Fenglin in Shanghai, and 70,000 troops gathered on the border of Zhejiang and Shanghai, which caused a lot of pressure on Lu Yongxiang.

When Chen Zikun was still a man, he made a big fuss in the pine forest shop, and captured Qu Tongfeng, the former enemy commander of the Anhui system, Qu Tongfeng has always been haunted by this matter, and now the man of the year is already the overseer of the Weizhen side, and his men are in charge of 70,000 male soldiers, which is even more like a tiger's wings, and this battle really has no chance of winning.

Chen Zikun shocked the southeast, but his old brother Li Yaoting lived in the shadow of death every day, the last time he smuggled and sold Jiangbei opium, the East Window incident completely annoyed Huang Jinrong, and he was expelled from the door wall, Zhang Xiaolin took the opportunity to retaliate and issued a chase and kill order.

Overnight, Li Yaoting fell from the clouds to the bottom, the mansion was set on fire, his loyal subordinates died, those who were caught were arrested, and he became nothing again.

Zhang Xiaolin wanted to kill him, and offered a not low reward, now all the hooligans on the beach are searching for Li Yaoting, he doesn't even dare to wear a suit, disguise himself and pretend to be a little deflated three to show people, hiding in a good home in a panic, the money in the bank does not dare to take it, so he has to make a living by selling his belongings, gold watches, gold rings, leather shoes and ties, except for a pistol, Li Yaoting has no long things.

This gun was given to him by Chen Zikun as an American big-eyed boy, a guy who saved his life, and he couldn't lose it until the last moment.

Li Yaoting hid in the attic of a shikumen house near the Shiliupu Wharf, his friend was a dancer, and he went to the nightclub every evening to do business.

On this day, he went out again, Li Yaoting was lying in the attic and his stomach was grumbling with hunger, he rummaged through the cabinets and didn't find any money, so he simply put on a top hat and pressed it down, and ventured out to eat mixed rice.

There is a small noodle restaurant not far from the residence, which is the place where Li Yaoting and Chen Zikun first came to Shanghai to settle down.

Li Yaoting swallowed a mouthful of saliva and walked into the noodle restaurant and said, "Boss, a bowl of large intestine noodles, two tea eggs, a plate of stinky tofu, and a pot of rice wine." ”

The guy quickly served the meal, Li Yaoting devoured it, ate a round stomach, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Write it down in Allah's account." ”

"Nong's line is good, and the small shop will not take credit." The guy said with a smile on his face, there are many people who eat overlord meals, but it is rare to go to small noodle restaurants to eat overlord meals.

Li Yaoting stretched out his hand and pulled out his gun, wanting to scare and scare the guys, but he didn't notice that a few big men came from the direction of his residence, and they saw Li Yaoting from a distance.

"Does Allah still owe you this money?" Li Yaoting blew his beard and glared, bluffing, and suddenly an inexplicable sense of danger came to his mind, and he subconsciously flashed, and a sharp axe was cut down on his scalp and embedded deep in the table.

Li Yaoting has been crawling on the beach for many years, and this reaction speed is still there, he jumped up with a spirit, grabbed a bowl of noodles in the hands of the guy and smashed it over, the murderer was screaming by the hot soup noodles, he took the opportunity to escape.

Several big men wielded sharp axes and chased after them, Li Yaoting pulled out his pistol and turned around to fight, hooked it and didn't make a sound, it turned out that the bullet clip was unloaded, in a hurry, he smashed the pistol as a hidden weapon, and continued to run wildly, his throat was sweet, his heart was pounding, and he was about to jump out of his throat, or he was blocked in an alley by the pursuers.

"Little Red Guy, today is Nong's death!" The hooligans came around with murderous spirits, Li Yaoting was exhausted and couldn't run anymore, he sat down on the ground, looked up at the sky, and muttered: "Mother, Xiaoshunzi is here to accompany you." ”

Just as the hooligans approached, a majestic voice sounded: "Stop. ”

The hooligans looked back in unison, only to see a shiny black car parked at the entrance of the alley, and a thin man dressed in a long shirt stood in front of the car, followed by two bodyguards, both with pins pinned to their waists.

"Mr. Du." The hooligans hurriedly took off their caps and nodded their heads.

Du Yuesheng didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, motioned to his subordinates to take out a stack of banknotes and send these people away, walked towards Li Yaoting, and said with a smile: "If you have something, you won't come to Allah." ”

Li Yaoting was grateful: "Thank you Mr. Du for saving your life." ”

Du Yuesheng said: "Boss Zhang wants to spend 100,000 yuan to buy your life, I can't convince him, I can only find a place for you to take refuge temporarily." ”

……

When Li Yaoting was unlucky, Mu Yichen's life was not easy, Chuntian Foreign Company was Chen Zikun's industry, this matter could not be hidden from Zhang Xiaolin's ears and eyes, he sent people to the foreign company many times to make trouble, although the Sassoon Building is located in the concession, but the patrol did not care about these idle things, let Zhang Xiaolin send ruffians to mess around, the company was smashed, many employees were also injured, a few hooligans were guarded near the Sassoon Building, threatening to see a beating, so that everyone did not dare to come to work.

The war in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has little impact on the people in the concession, life is still the same, but Mu Yichen is always concerned about the progress of the war, the foreign bank has been temporarily closed, every day he goes to the Bund Road on time to take a walk, drink a cup of coffee and buy a newspaper.

Mu Yichen only reads two kinds of newspapers, the Westerner-run "Zilinxi Bao" and the Chinese "Declaration", which look at the problem from the perspective of Westerners and Chinese respectively, which are very representative, complement each other, and are the most representative, and other newspapers can basically not be read.

After buying two newspapers, Mu Yichen sat on the open-air chair in the café, and couldn't wait to see the recent situation of the war first, and what caught his eye was the headline of the declaration: Jiangdong has changed hands, and the new military affairs supervisor Chen Zikun has declared war on Lu He!

Mu Yichen's heart was shocked, he looked at the content carefully, and waved his fist after browsing: "The senior is really extraordinary!" ”

By the way, I looked at other news, but there was nothing unusual, there was also a report about the war in the corner, saying that the Songhu Protector made He Fenglin almost assassinated, which was expected to be done by a direct assassin.

Suddenly, a young man came to him and sat down, and said with a big grin: "Little Er, make a pot of jasmine tea." ”

Mu Yichen couldn't help but look at this guest, bald, with a pair of shining eyes, wearing a brand-new white suit, with rolled trouser legs, bulging pockets around his waist, and a pair of black cloth shoes under his feet, exuding a strong local atmosphere and undisguised rampant energy.

The little deflated people on the beach are not dressed like this, the ruffians and hooligans in the metropolis are very particular about style, and the suit will never be matched with cloth shoes, this should be a local strip from the countryside to Shanghai......

He was about to pick up the coffee with the newspaper and change his seat, when the young man spoke: "Are you Mr. Mu?" ”

Mu Yichen was puzzled: "Do you know me?" ”

The man said: "My name is Liang Maocai, I am from Jiangdong, and this is a handwritten letter from the marshal." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and put it on the table, and shouted: "Xiao Er, are you deaf in dog days, what about Lao Tzu's tea!" ”

The café waiter glanced at him with disdain, continued to wipe the glass, pretending not to hear, Mu Yichen hurriedly said, "Werther, come to a pot of Ceylon black tea." ”

Liang Maocai scolded in a low voice: "The dog looks down on people, one day I will come over and burn this shop." ”

Mu Yichen wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and unfolded the letterhead, this letter was written by Chen Zikun in English, introducing Liang Maocai's identity, and making a series of arrangements, it will never be fake.

"It turned out to be Major Liang, disrespectful and disrespectful." Mu Yichen stretched out his hand to shake hands with him, feeling that the other party's palm was rough and powerful, full of strength.

"Mr. Mu, the handsome said, let me listen to your arrangement, you say what to do, I'll do it, I don't have any other ability, I will kill people and set fires, do you have any enemies, I'll help you take care of it."

Mu Yichen hurriedly said: "It's too polite, by the way, are you alone?" ”

Liang Maocai said: "I brought a team of brothers over, the day before yesterday I assassinated He Fenglin and missed, lost some people and horses, and five people had gunshot wounds. ”

Mu Yichen said in his heart that the assassination incident was really done by your brother, and said: "No problem, our foreign bank has a warehouse by the Huangpu River, there is no problem in hiding a hundred and ten people, and the injured brother can be sent to the concession foreigner hospital for treatment, I will arrange it, but it is ......"

"But what?"

"The warehouse key is in a drawer in my office, and I can't go back now."

"Why can't Mao go back?"

"There were a few hooligans standing nearby, blocking us from going to work."

"Haha, what should I do, I'm good at dealing with this, Mr. Mu, you open the way in front of your head."

Mu Yichen smiled slightly, took out the change and put it on the table and was about to leave, Liang Maocai suddenly asked: "Mr. Mu has read books and stayed abroad, and there is a lot of ink in his stomach, if I ask you a foreign word, you are not allowed not to teach me." ”

Mu Yichen sighed in his heart, looking at others, a mud-legged Qiu Badu always does not forget to learn, what kind of spirit is this, so he said: "You ask, as long as I know, I will definitely teach you." ”

"How to say it in foreign language."

Mu Yichen suddenly had a black line on his face, and said slowly: "Fak squid." ”

Liang Mao was overjoyed, walked up to the waiter, and said proudly: "Fake, squid, your mother." ”

Mu Yichen hurriedly slipped away, pretending not to know this barbaric and rude guy.

……

Back near the Sassoon Building, a few peaked caps guarding the nearby alley saw Mu Yichen coming, immediately looked at each other and smiled, surrounded him, and asked, "How can Nong not know each other, isn't it begging?" ”

Mu Yichen turned his head and said, "It's them." ”

Liang Maocai didn't say a word, he stepped forward and volleyed a flying leg, and kicked the leader more than a dozen steps away, and the rest of the hooligans fled into the alley in a hurry, but one by one they quietly pulled out the axes hidden in their waists, they were all high-level thugs found by Zhang Xiaolin, and they were very experienced, how could they be defeated so quickly.

As soon as Mu Yichen saw them enter the alley, he was afraid that Liang Maocai would suffer a loss, so he hurriedly said: "Poor Kou Mo chase." But Liang Maocai followed in indifferently.

In the alley, four little hooligans from Shanghai Beach were eyeing each other with bright axes in their hands, and the person who was kicked away had a pale face and broken ribs, and he said intermittently: "Kill Ila to death, count it Allah." ”

Liang Maocai walked over, saw the other party's battle, immediately smiled, flirted with his suit gown, and pulled out two long seedling box guns from his back waist in a dashing manner, and said: "Lao Tzu doesn't bully people, don't use this." As he spoke, he closed the box cannon and put it on the ground, and pulled out a nine-section steel whip from his waist.

Mu Yichen was guarding the entrance of the alley, his mood was extremely nervous, and he heard a burst of ghost crying wolf howls and Liang Maocai's voice roaring behind him: "Fake squid, Fake squid!" ”
