In May 1928, in the first half of the year, the war in the north was in full swing, the Northern Expeditionary Army continued to attack the Beiyang Army, all the way like a bamboo, the Beiyang Army was defeated and retreated, and successively occupied Linshijiazhuang, Dezhou and other places, although in the middle because the Japanese soldiers sent troops to occupy Jinan played a certain role in delaying the offensive of the Northern Expeditionary Army, but this role was completely dissipated after the Northern Expeditionary Army withdrew from Jinan.

On the 19th, the Northern Expeditionary Army launched the final general offensive, the troops were divided into three routes, with the Jinpu line, the Jingsui line and the Jinghan line three roads to Tianjin, Beiping forced the army, at this time, even if it is a stupid person, it can already be seen that the general trend of the Beiyang Army has gone, there is no longer a chance to be defeated, Beiping City, is also a double heaven of joy and sorrow, some people are happy and some are sad, presenting a serious polarization scene.

Although the withdrawal of the Northern Expeditionary Army from the Jinan Incident had a great impact on the discussion of the Northern Expeditionary Army, on a large level, the Northern Expeditionary Army was still very popular with ordinary people and some young students under the slogan of the Three People's Principles, and the Beiyang Government has been stinky since Yuan Shikai's reputation, so compared with the Beiyang Government, the Northern Expeditionary Army is naturally more popular.

Of course, these are just the feelings of most ordinary people and young students, but for the superstructure and forces, it is a different feeling, whether it is for the Beiyang town government or the forces of various countries.

The Beiyang town government lost the war, the country is gone, naturally it is impossible to be happy, and the countries are worried that the national government will promote the reunification of China after defeating the Beiyang town government, once China is unified, then for them, it is not good news, they want to carve up China, get benefits, naturally it is the chaotic and weak China that is easy to deal with, and it is more in line with their interests, rather than a unified China.

Before Japan sent troops to Jinan, it was not because it was worried that China would be unified after the Northern Expeditionary Army defeated the Beiyang government, but some did not expect that Chairman Chiang was so decisive and chose to abandon the car to protect the commander.

Beiping, Wumen, Li family.

"Dad!" In the courtyard, Li Lianxin was dressed in white at home, and when she saw her father coming back, she hurriedly greeted her and asked, "How is it, what did Zhang Dashuai say?"

Nearly a month has passed, Li Lianxin, who has always been beautiful and moving, seems to be confident and calm at all times, has no previous calmness on her face, and her eyes and expression show a look that she has not been nervous before, looking at her father Li Dusheng, and Li Dusheng seems to have aged several years directly during this time, the whole person gives people a feeling of twilight, and there is an indescribable heaviness in his expression.

"There's no hope. Li Dusheng sighed heavily, with a look of loneliness and exhaustion.

"Really, isn't there any hope?!" Li Lian's heart also stiffened when she heard this, and said bitterly, although she had already guessed this possibility in her heart, but when she really heard the truth at this moment, she was still a little difficult to accept.

"No, Zhang Dashuai is already preparing to withdraw his troops and leave Beiping to return to the three eastern provinces. ”

Li Wansheng sighed and said in a tired and bitter tone nearly a month ago he was still in high spirits and confident and satisfied fighting with huo qiubai but now.

"Unexpectedly, in the end, I still lost to Huo Qiubai. ”

Li Dusheng spoke, his face showed a bit of self-deprecation and bitterness, a month ago, he and Huo Qiubai on the issue of falling south and north, and finally ended with his victory and supporting the Beiyang government with martial arts, Huo Qiubai and those people in the Kuomintang ended up dying because of calculating Lin Tianqi, at that time, he felt that he had won.

But now, he knew that he had lost, even if Huo Qiubai was dead, but in this matter, he had also lost.

"So what do we do now?"

Li Lianxin's face was also bitter and worried, looking at his father, Zhang Dashuai was already preparing to go back to his hometown of the three eastern provinces, so the battle situation was naturally impossible to have any suspense, but the question was, what should they do, what should the martial arts do, that Zhang Dashuai can still take his soldiers back to his hometown of the three eastern provinces, but what about their martial arts.

"We...."

Li Dusheng showed a tired and bitter look on his face, to be honest, at this time, he didn't know what to do, that Zhang Dashuai could still retreat to the three eastern provinces, but their martial arts, this time it was really a little irreversible.

In this war, they can be said to have put all their chips on the Beiyang Town Government, and on the frontal battlefield, they contributed money and food to the Beiyang government, and secretly helped the Beiyang government to eliminate the underground personnel of the Kuomintang in the north, and directly carried out a round of purge-style massacre, killing thousands of underground personnel of the Kuomintang if not tens of thousands.

Under such circumstances, it is conceivable that once the Beiyang government is defeated and the Northern Expeditionary Army captures Beiping, the Nationalist Government will treat them Wumen.

"You go and send a message to your fellow disciples on my behalf, now that this situation is in this situation, we should also consider retreating. ”

After a long groan, Li Dusheng spoke.

Li Lianxin's face also showed a bitter look when she heard this, but she also knew that this could only be the case at this time, so she nodded.

Samurai, in the hall!

Elder Wu and his son Wu Siguo, daughter-in-law Li Xuemei, and granddaughter Wu Xiaoxiao's family of four also got together, and the atmosphere was heavy.

"That Zhang Dashuai is going to retreat to the three eastern provinces. ”

After being silent for a while, Elder Wu said leisurely, and the three people next to him, Wu Siguo, Li Xuemei, and Wu Xiaoxiao, were shocked, and their faces were even more worried.

"Then what should we do? Did the door master and Zhang Dashuai say anything?"

Wu Siguo asked.

"The catastrophe is coming, in this case, that Zhang Dashuai probably has no heart to care more about us, the door owner doesn't have to count on it, the situation is worse than ours, this time it is the door owner who led everyone to take refuge in Beiyang, and now the situation has come to this point, he is even more difficult than us, at this time, we can only rely on ourselves. ”

Elder Wu shook his head, but he saw the situation clearly.

"This time, our Wumen defected to the Beiyang government and killed so many people from the Nationalist Government, once the war is over, we will definitely not let us go easily, and we must make plans as soon as possible. ”

"Siguo, you go to prepare, on the one hand, find a way to contact Tianqi, if you can contact Tianqi, with his strength, there will be a turnaround in this matter, on the other hand, prepare the way to go abroad, if you don't contact Tianqi, there is really no way, going abroad is our only safest way." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Elder Wu spoke again, when the matter came to this scene, there were only these two safest ways he could think of, one was to contact Lin Tianqi, if Lin Tianqi was contacted, with Lin Tianqi's strength, he believed that he could resolve the current situation of their martial arts family, and the second was to go abroad, if Lin Tianqi was not contacted, they could only go abroad, which was the safest.

"Good!"

Wu Siguo nodded when he heard this, and immediately didn't say anything more.

Wu Xiaoxiao, who was next to him, heard this, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.

...............................

Unexpectedly, the matter was really expected by Mr. Lin. ”

Mingcheng, Daminghui, in the hall, looking at the newspaper on the table, Xu Hong sighed, his face showed both admiration and happiness, Lin Tianqi told him before he left, Beiyang will be defeated, and he told him not to get involved in the war, and he also listened to the words, so he was honest in Mingcheng during this time.

Fortunately, he is honest, otherwise he would have a hard time at this time.

Thinking of this, Xu Hong's heart was both admiration and amazement for Lin Tianqi, and joy in his heart.

"Now, I'm afraid that the rest of the martial arts sect should have a hard time. ”

Xu Yanzhu next to her chuckled when she heard this, faintly gloating, although Xu Hong is also a member of the martial arts, but the same strength does not mean that he has the same heart, at the moment, he has nothing to do to watch others sad, this taste is still very good.

At the same time, thinking of Lin Tianqi, Xu Yanzhu was full of brilliance in her beautiful eyes.

Since she felt that Lin Tianqi didn't think too much about herself, Xu Yanzhu also tried to socialize with other men in the past, but unfortunately, every time she saw other men, she would involuntarily compare them with Lin Tianqi, but after every comparison, she didn't have any thoughts about those men, and people really wanted to throw them away.

"By the way, Dad, did Mr. Lin say how to contact him after he left the south?"

Thinking of Lin Tianqi, Xu Yanzhu couldn't help but ask.

"Contact, it seems that Mr. Lin really didn't say it at the time. ”

Listening to his daughter's question, Xu Hong also reacted, when Lin Tianqi suddenly went south, he really didn't tell him how to contact him, but he thought about it.

"But it should be fine, since Mr. Lin expected that the Beiyang government would be defeated, and told me not to get involved in this matter, then he will definitely contact me again when the time comes. ”

Xu Yanzhu also nodded when she heard this, and didn't say anything more.

...................................

"Helper, miss, Mr. Lin has news. ”

At the same time, Tianjin, the Dajiang Gang, the Wu family, and Ma San rushed in with a letter from the outside, and Wu Sanjiang and Wu Qingqing in the room were instantly shocked when they heard this.
