Today’s first update, today’s New Year’s Eve, I wish you a happy New Year’s Eve, a great fortune in the new year, and auspicious year of the Dragon. I wish you a New Year in advance. Haha, okay, I won’t say much, and I’m ready for the “New Year’s greetings” tomorrow morning!

After Duan Qirui and Special Envoy Zhou and others said goodbye, they arranged a few ordinary soldiers to send Special Envoy Zhou back to his specially arranged residence, and then walked back with the help of Xu Shuzheng.

Duan Qirui stopped and stopped in three steps and asked in a low voice: "Yezheng? What do you mean?" Duan Qirui was referring to why he wanted to get Zhou and others drunk, and suggested looking for an actor.

Xu Shuzheng pretended to support Duan Qirui and whispered: "Teacher, I observed it. This person with the surname Zhou is not simple. The so-called sayings after drinking. I originally planned to arrange a few trustworthy actors who were condoms of the style of the surname Zhou. I didn't expect that he was so cautious and refused. The more cautious he was, the more it means there was a problem!"

Duan Qirui nodded solemnly and asked, "I heard that you said so, so what should I do next?"

"I think they are really drunk a little bit too high, not like pretending, so we say that we speak truth after drinking. We will touch them in person at night, hoping to hear something." Xu Shuzheng suggested.

Duan Qirui hesitated for a while, then nodded in the end, then stood up, completely different from the drunken look just now.

"Let's go!" Duan Qirui flexibly took Xu Shuzheng.

The fat Envoy Zhou, supported by two ordinary soldiers, walked towards his residence swayingly. The other officers were drunk too much, so the few people didn't leave quickly. After a while, they were caught up by Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng who followed him.

One of the officers was drunk and breathed alcohol in his mouth, saying, "Brother Zhou, you said Duan Qirui invited us to listen to the song and find an actor. Why don't you let your brothers go? Brothers are all full of anger and are just trying to find a place to vent?"

Special Envoy Zhou burped and scolded: "Are you guys getting knives in the brain? Do you want me to suck it out for you? Wisp, look at you all bears, and you took a few sips of cat urine. If you can't control your guy style in a while, you will definitely not control your mouth even more. If Duan Qirui hears a little bit of trouble, we have to explain here."

"Afraid of Mao? We were sent by the Grand Marshal himself. Besides, the Grand Marshal asked us to come this time, just to monitor..." The man had not finished speaking.

With a "bang!", a fat hand fell on his face, hitting the officer's eyes and blood foam oozed from the corners of his mouth.

"I haven't told you many times that the verbal swears must be important. Damn, I'll be killed by you fools sooner or later!" Special Envoy Zhou shook his palm, which was a little painful. The slap just now used his full strength, and Duan Qirui had a lot of wine today, so he didn't stand firm for a while and almost fell down. Fortunately, the two soldiers next to him were clever and clumsy, withstood the heavy body of Special Envoy Zhou.

Xu Shuzheng stared at the people not far away and whispered: "Look, teacher, the purpose of their visit this time is indeed not that simple!"

Duan Qirui gritted his teeth hatefully. He could hear those words just now clearly. This was the situation he least wanted to see. Unexpectedly, his loyalty had always been ruthlessly suspected by Yuan Shikai, and now he sent someone to monitor him.

"Do you still want to follow?" Xu Shuzheng asked when he saw Duan Qirui's face was not good.

"Go, I want to hear it clearly, see what their real purpose is this time?" Duan Qirui bent down and followed again. Xu Shuzheng had to sigh and follow him.

After stopping one of them from talking nonsense after drinking, Special Envoy Zhou continued to walk towards his residence while whispering. Soon, Special Envoy Zhou and several others came to a large mansion with two guards at the door. It was estimated that it was a wealthy family, but now Duan Qirui was enlisted as the residence to entertain the special Envoy Zhou and several others.

After giving the orders, the special envoy Zhou returned to the room alone to rest. The officers were still unsatisfied. It was a loss to not go to listen to Xiaoqu just now. However, without receiving the order from the special envoy Zhou, they did not dare to run out privately.

One of the bearded officers suggested: "I still have a few bottles of Western wine in my room, why don't you try it?"

When everyone heard this, they were immediately delighted. Although they were still unsatisfied with the song, they could at least drink some wine to moisten it to make up for the little regret just now.

After saying that, everyone gathered the bearded officer to go to his room to continue fighting fiercely.

At this time, two soldiers who were performing alert at the entrance of the compound saw two suspicious figures suddenly appearing in the distance. They quickly raised the new Mauser in their hands and asked, "Stop, what are you doing?"

After the two of them came out of the darkness, the two alert soldiers were so scared that they were their own division commander and the main regiment commander Xu!

"Salute!" One soldier suddenly realized, and the other soldier quickly put down Mauser and saluted the commander.

Duan Qirui smiled kindly and said, "Yeah, it's not bad, you two are very competent! That, have the envoy Zhou and others returned to their room to rest?"

"Report to the division commander, Special Envoy Zhou and other commanders have just returned to their room to rest." The soldier replied nervously.

Duan Qirui said again: "I'll go in and see if Special Envoy Zhou is drunk today. Youzheng, come with me."

Seeing that the division commander was about to enter, the two soldiers quickly made way and opened the door to let Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng enter.

After entering the door, Xu Shuzheng smiled and said, "Fortunately, our people were on guard. If it were the people of Special Envoy Zhou, we would probably be suspected by Special Envoy Zhou today."

Duan Qirui asked: "Which is the room of Special Envoy Zhou?"

Xu Shuzheng pointed to the largest room and said, "This is the room of Special Envoy Zhou. The other few rooms are the residences of several officers. The lights in the room have been turned off. Special Envoy Zhou drank a lot, and it seems that he has rested."

Duan Qirui frowned. Could it be that he would return without success today?

"Teacher, listen!" Xu Shuzheng pricked up his ears and said.

Following Xu Shuzheng's gaze, Duan Qirui saw the bright lights in another room and faintly heard a few people talking.

Xu Shuzheng understood Duan Qirui's meaning, and the two walked towards the side room with slight hands and feet, and the discussion in the side room became clearer.

"Oh, you said that Brother Zhou is really true. Didn't Duan Qirui just invite us to listen to the song, and by the way, do you think it's necessary to be so nervous?" said one of the officers with a sharp voice.

"You don't understand this! Brother Zhou is also cautious, don't forget that Duan Qirui is the Beiyang Tiger among the three masters of Beiyang. Don't underestimate him, and don't forget the real purpose of our trip." As soon as you hear this voice, you will know that it was the bearded officer.

When the others heard this, they agreed, and one person suggested toast. Everyone clinked glasses again. Some of them sighed directly: "The wine of this foreigner is light, like drinking water. I heard that it is made of grapes! Do you think the wine made of grapes is not drunk by women? Haha..."

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.

The sharp voice snorted coldly and said, "What are the three Beiyang masters? Look, Wang Shizhen can't even defend a small Jingzhou, and finally fell into a miserable state of defeat and death. Feng Guozhang also failed to attack others and directly surrendered to the enemy. The three Beiyang masters have already left the second one. I think Duan Qirui, among the three Beiyang masters, is just like this. Haha."

"Yes, what's the point of Duan Qirui? Isn't it just that he was a soldier a few years earlier than us?" Another officer echoed.

The sharp voice said again: "Anyway, he is with Brother Zhou this time. As the special envoy of the Grand Marshal, he is a good at killing power. As long as Duan Qirui has any abnormal movement, we will take the initiative first and kill Duan Qirui and his confidant Xu Shuzheng directly to avoid future troubles!"

"Hey, you've drunk a little too much!" The bearded officer was obviously a little unhappy and said viciously, "Don't forget, this is Duan Qirui's camp, so you'll lose your head when you talk nonsense!"

The sharp voice was reminded by the bearded officer, and he woke up halfway through the drunkenness and repeatedly apologized: "Oh, my brother, I'm drunk too much, I'm drunk too much! Don't blame me!"

"Come on, everyone will remember it. This is Duan Qirui's territory. Please pay attention to your words in the future!" The bearded officer pointed out, "At the same time, you must pay attention to Duan Qirui's every move and report to the general at any time!"

Duan Qirui could no longer listen to the words afterwards. He and Xu Shuzheng left the yard listlessly.

After leaving the yard, Xu Shuzheng walked to the two soldiers standing guard and said in an orderly tone: "None of you is allowed to mention the matter of me and the division commander here today, especially the people of Special Envoy Zhou. If I know, you dare to reveal a little..." Xu Shuzheng made a shooting gesture.

The two soldiers saluted a military salute like coldly and hurriedly said, "No...I dare..."

After Xu Shuzheng explained this, he followed Duan Qirui outside. Duan Qirui was in a bad mood along the way and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Xu Shuzheng naturally understood Duan Qirui's mood at this time. Yuan Shikai was a person who knew him, and Duan Qirui was loyal to Yuan Shikai, and he was unparalleled. But he didn't expect that in the end, he was not only suspicious of Yuan Shikai, but Yuan Shikai even sent someone to attack him without caring about his previous friendship. No matter who it was, he would feel discouraged.

Before they knew it, the two of them came to the river embankment. It happened to be cold winter. The wind on the surface of the river was howling, whistling on people's faces like a knife. The rushing cold air poured into their bodies like a small snake.

Xu Shuzheng advised: "Teacher, the wind is strong on the river, so we should go back and rest early!"

Duan Qirui said with a lonely expression: "Yuzheng, sit here for a while with me. The wind is just enough to make people wake up."

Xu Shuzheng sat side by side with Duan Qirui as he said.

"What do you think about this?" Duan Qirui asked in a daze looking into the distance.

Xu Shuzheng pondered for a moment and said, "What do you think about this by the teacher?"
